Chapter 227: The Great War, Good Business (I)

Keep asking for votes......

E: The description of uranium ore in the previous chapter is wrong, the uranium ore in the hands of Mr. Wen is calculated according to the average grade of 1+, and 1oo tons of uranium ore can be extracted per 10,000 tons of uranium, of which weapons-grade uranium-26 has O2 tons of uranium. has been revised, thanks to the reader for pointing it out.

Hankyung, presidential palace.

"Your Excellency the President, I wonder what you think of our country's request?" said the German ambassador to China, Hahausen, with an expectant expression.

Wen Deji put down the teacup and said with a formula smile: "Well, of course there is no problem with this...... There is a traditional friendship between China and Germany, and there is more in-depth cooperation, and since our German friends need these things, and we are able to provide them, why don't we?"

He paused and said: "However, now that Britain and France have blocked the sea lanes, and the merchant ships are strictly checked, it will be very troublesome if our country sends them directly to your country." It's better for us to transit through neutral countries such as Sweden and Italy, or transport from 6 places, and send it to Turkey via the Guò Eurasian Railway and then transfer to your country......"

Seeing that Wendesi agreed, Hahausen was overjoyed, and immediately smiled and said: "This is no problem at all, Your Excellency the President." Italy, Sweden, Turkey are in charge of the coordination, and you only need to send what we need to the above neutral countries......"

"Then there is no problem, the rest of the details will be left to the professionals to discuss......" After Wen Desi nodded, the remaining contract details and bargaining were naturally responsible for the professionals.

On both the Eastern and Western Fronts, although the Allies now had the upper hand, the losses were still not small, especially Germany, which acted as the main force. And according to the current situation, although Germany beat France, it has been slow to turn its advantage into victory. Although Paris was lost, the stubborn French gritted their teeth and held on, desperately blocking the German offensive at Versailles. Now the two sides have dug countless trenches and fortifications in the area of Versailles, and they are also caught in a war of attrition similar to that of the original plane.

In other words, the Germans' "Schlieffen Plan" had already hit the streets, and it was impossible to win. The thing that Ertokuko is better than Japan is that they are not so brainless. Seeing that they could not win, their General Staff immediately worked out a plan for a war of attrition.

Since it is a war of attrition, then it is necessary to hoard materials and equipment, and now the world's major industrial countries are left with China and the United States who are not involved in the war, and if you want to buy things, you can only buy them naturally. As a result, German diplomats and businesses in China and the United States immediately received the task of making large purchases in China and the United States. Among them, the procurement task in China is the most important, because the Chinese side not only has daily necessities, but also the weapons and equipment they need.

Judging from the current shape, the situation of Erdezi is much better now than it was in the original time and space, although the rooster is still holding on and not kneeling, but a third of France has fallen. Moreover, the surrounding countries of Italy and Turkey did not participate in the war and had sufficient supply channels.

In addition, the attitude of the United States is different from that of the original time and space. In 1934, an investigation by the Congressional Commission on Nye, founded by Republican Senator Gerald Nye, showed that the main reason why the United States entered the war in 1917 was manipulation by financiers and arms magnates. These people did almost exclusively business with the Entente, and they wanted the Entente to win at any cost, so that they could make a lot of money. The massive sale of bonds to finance the war in Europe caused a huge decrease in the amount of money in circulation in the United States, and the Federal Reserve began to increase the dollar massively. From 196 to 192, the U.S. national debt skyrocketed from $1 billion to $2 million. All the national debt was secured by the future tax payments of the middle and lower classes of the American people, and as a result, in World War I, the American bankers made a lot of war money, while the vast majority of the American people contributed money and efforts, and shed blood and sweat for the capitalists.

On the other hand, Britain and the United States are very stiff because of the "India Incident", coupled with the fact that there are several ghost consortia such as the Zenith Consortium that have been laid out since a few years ago, so that many bankers in the United States have flowed their investments to the Allied countries, although they do not have an absolute advantage over the investment in the Entente countries, but they have also reached 8% of the Entente countries, which is much higher than the original time and space, and this proportion continues to increase. And the United States is the spokesperson of the consortium, which has caused confusion among the upper echelons of the United States, which is not as one-sided as the original time and space, and what is expressed is an ambiguous attitude. This is certainly advantageous for Germany, and this attitude of the United States is of course.

And, most importantly, China's covert support, especially in intelligence and technology. With the "selfless help" of Wen Desi, the biggest "self-evident mark", this is equivalent to giving Erdezi a hanging.

In order to build this intercontinental railway, which is called the "New Silk Road" by the Chinese media, China has made great efforts in recent years. With accurate surveying and mapping methods and millions of free laborers, China is starting construction from more than 1oo lots at the same time, so the progress is extremely fast. It is expected that the whole line will be opened to traffic in September.

In the Sino-German secret treaty the year before, China agreed to connect the railway with the failed German triple B railway, of course, the German side to adjust the gauge to the Chinese standard 26 meters gauge, and now the railway from Berlin to the Austrian-Turkish border is also about to open to traffic.

Although it is not yet fully opened, it is already possible to send supplies directly from China to Ankara, Turkey, and then Germany will be able to transfer it by itself. The current Ottoman Turkish government is originally pro-German, and now it can earn a lot of money for the transfer of money by engaging in bias and neutrality, so why not?

It's also a little different from the original plane, where the wall grass was completely out of the way at first, and even joined the Allies in 1915. And Germany, which was on its own plane, achieved greater results, and the Entente countries were beaten by them with a fat beating, and even Paris was lost. So Yi Duli's attitude was different, seeing that Erdezi was so capable of fighting, they didn't dare to offend these guys. As a result, they did not dare to stop Germany's material borders.

Hanking, the headquarters of Xingke Group.

After the construction of Hanjing, the headquarters of Xingke Group was also relocated from Neijiang this month. One of the most important interstellar office building bases was also relocated last month.

The full name of this thing is "monolithic architecture for non-terrestrial planets", and it can be suspended in anti-gravity and move in short distances. It's just that the movement system was damaged during the crossing, and after all these years of repairs, this function has finally been restored. This big ball with a radius of 4o meters took off from Baima in Neijiang in the middle of the rainy night of June, and on this starry and moonless night, at an altitude of 36 meters, it flew slowly and leisurely to the mountainous area of the Qinling Mountains (northeast of Danjiangkou Reservoir) west of Hanjing, and slowly descended to the place that had been prepared for a long time.

The night was the most stressful, and he was relieved until the base landed safely at the intended location. Fortunately, there are no satellites in these days, otherwise such a big thing would be easily revealed.

The first business after Xingke Group moved was a large order from the State Council.

“...... 1. Food: 3o thousand boxes of compressed cakes, 10,000 boxes of milk chocolate, 260,000 boxes of canned fruits, and 6o thousand boxes of canned meat...... 2. Clothing: 30,000 sets of military uniforms, 20,000 sets of winter clothes, 30,000 pairs of military boots, 20,000 pairs of rubber shoes, medicines: 66 tons of compound berberine, 66 tons of sulfonamides...... Hey, that's an exaggeration."

Before Li Siya finished reading the list, she shouted to Zhang Lizheng out of a frustrated manner: "General manager, oh, no, Premier Zhang, such a large quantity, and the delivery time is only three months, how can we eat it......?

Zhang Lizheng smiled: "Xingke's family will definitely not be able to eat, this list just makes Xingke the general manager and is responsible for organizing the supply of goods." Don't worry, you can eat it, what is this little thing?"

Li Siya breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, this is almost the same, I was taken aback by you, I thought it was all for Xingke...... It's nothing if it spreads across the country

"But don't be careless, the organization of supply and logistics is not easy, you need to start acting now. Such a list will only increase, the production capacity of various materials must continue to expand, and all factories must organize overtime and cannot slack off. Although Zhang Lizheng has served as the premier of China, the people of Xingke Group are his old subordinates, and his words are just as useful.

"Prime Minister, why don't you distribute these orders directly to various domestic enterprises?" asked Situ Ya, the current general manager of Xingke Group.

Zhang Lizheng smiled: "I want to too, but now many small and medium-sized enterprises in China lack experience in international trade, and they are not able to organize this kind of logistics, so I am afraid that there will be problems if I throw them directly." So you have to let Xingke help manage it first, especially in terms of quality, don't be too troublesome, it's not for nothing, you can take a pump from it as a management fee, Mr. Wen ordered three percent ......"

In fact, the current Xingke Group can be said to be a freak, on the surface it is a private enterprise, and it is also a multinational consortium with a prominent reputation in the world. However, at the same time, it also assumed some of the functions of the Ministry of Industry, the General Armament Department, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and even the Reform Commission in China. At present, nearly ninety percent of China's heavy industry and a considerable part of light industry are its subsidiaries or holding companies. Of course, this situation is caused by special reasons, and it is also abnormal, and it will not continue forever.

"In addition, this time Efei's J-4 was selected by the Germans, and they want to buy 8o aircraft, including drawings and production authorization, this has to be discussed with Efei...... Zhang Lizheng continued.

The export fighter "J-4" Huangli fighter produced by Efei is the prototype of the original space-time h6I, and it is no wonder that Germany has taken a fancy to it.
