"I know you want to ease the ethnic conflicts in the country, but moving these two ethnic groups to Persia and making the Persian believers here twisted together, it is easy to have the idea of ​​independence." Lin Juemin said: "If Let the Persian religion form a strong synergy, and they will seek political status, and independence will be inevitable."

"You have studied politics very deeply recently, and you have a long-term perspective on problems." Zhao Shouhong praised.

"Learning from the chairman, the progress is always very obvious." Lin Juemin said.

"You don't need to praise me, I'm not as great as you said, but what you said makes sense." Zhao Shouhong pointed to the buildings outside and said, "But what does it matter? As long as we can maintain a friendly relationship, Even if Persia breaks away from the Western Special Zone, it will become our vassal state, which will be a very solid land barrier. Using the teachings of Persianism, they will become the most fearless fighters and will help us consume a large number of enemies. What's more If our country wants to be prosperous and strong, we can’t just think about using power and tactics to suppress all hidden dangers. The consequence of doing that is that once the hidden dangers break out again, it will be out of control. We must consider the problem as a whole, and there is no single solution to any hidden danger Sometimes it is more effective to make the best use of the situation than to suppress it.”

Chapter 694 The Bet on Planting Trees

"I understand, but both Persia and Afghanistan are so impoverished, how can we feed so many people. Even if we relocate all the people from Afghanistan to Persia, it will be difficult to see results in emigrating inside." Lin Juemin spread his hands.

"It doesn't matter. The first batch of pioneer trees planted in the Plateau Province have achieved good results. We will promote it in the arid areas of the country, and the Caspian Province will also promote it. As long as a large number of trees are planted in Afghanistan, the climate there will be improved." There will be some improvement. Let’s start by recruiting tree farmers and emigrate some people there. When the climate there changes, we can grow Chinese herbal medicines and various drought-resistant crops there, which will be very attractive to immigrants. What's more, there are still many underground mineral deposits there, but they have not been developed yet." Zhao Shouhong explained.

"Mineral deposits? The chairman seems to be very clear about the mineral deposits in any place, whether they have been discovered or not. I wonder if there are mineral deposits underground where we are standing?" Lin Juemin asked with great interest.

Zhao Shouhong pointed to the ground and said: "Under this land, there are oil resources that you can't imagine. Even if it is a continent floating on oil, it is not an exaggeration."

"Really?" Lin Juemin's eyes widened. Now that the petrochemical industry and various internal combustion engines are becoming popular in the Western Special Zone, the importance of oil is several times higher than a few years ago.Now that a large oil field can be discovered, this is definitely good news.

Zhao Shouhong patted Lin Juemin on the shoulder and said, "Yidong, you have been my assistant for a long time, have you considered being alone?"

"Stand alone? What am I going to do?" Lin Juemin asked with a smile.

"How about the governor of Central China?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

"This official seems too big, I'm afraid I can't do it." Lin Juemin shook his head and said.

"Have confidence in yourself. I believe you have the ability." Zhao Shouhong said, "The Middle East will definitely be in chaos in the future, and your role is to strictly guard the Central Mainland Province and make it the gateway of Hualan." Zhao Shouhong Said: "As long as you can stabilize the place and establish a strict organization, Hualan can safely carry out economic construction. This position is very important. Apart from you, I can't think of a better candidate."

"In this case, I'll give it a try, but I promised in advance that if I can't do well and resign, you have to promise me." Lin Juemin took a vaccination first.

Zhao Shouhong said: "It doesn't matter. If you really resign at that time, I will agree. But I believe that there will be no day when you will become a famous leader. I always believe in this."

Chen Wenbao was very busy with work. Just two days after Zhao Shouhong inspected Tehran, he met the three giants of the Turkish Al-Shabab here.But this time Chen Wenbao didn't take the initiative to ask for a meeting, but accepted the other party's invitation.

Seeing Chen Wenbao, Enver asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, I wonder how your discussion with the senior management of your company went? Has there been any result?"

Chen Wenbao nodded and said: "As for your request for a batch of arms with the same quantity as last time, our company's senior management has already discussed it. Since we are such close business friends, our company is willing to take risks and provide your country with Weapons and ammunition."

"This is really great." Talat Pasha slapped his thigh excitedly and said.

"But this trade has a condition." Chen Wenbao changed the subject, and the hearts of the three rose to their throats again.

Chen Wenbao said: "We have to take a very big risk to provide arms to your country this time, so we ask for [-]% of the price of the arms."

"Twenty percent?" Talat Pasha's face suddenly turned bitter. The last time the batch of weapons cost more than 7000 million Chinese yuan, and now the country's finances are already struggling to support it again.If an additional [-]% of the price was added, the Ottoman Empire would not be able to afford it anyway.

Seeing that the sound was going to be lost again this time, Talat Pasha felt sad for a while, and even Enver was a little depressed.Feeling the dull atmosphere in the room, Chen Wenbao said: "But this time I persuaded the company, and the company's senior management proposed a solution. I don't know if you have any ideas."

"Is there a way? Of course I want to listen." Enver urged Chen Wenbao to speak quickly.

Chen Wenbao said calmly: "Our company needs to experiment with a kind of tree. In order to conduct the experiment, we are willing to use weapons as the cost of the experiment."

"I don't understand what Mr. Chen means." Enver was confused.

Chen Wenbao said: "Our company hopes to make a bet with your government, and our bet is these weapons."

"What kind of gamble?" Enver asked.

Chen Wenbao nodded and said: "We will plant trees in the desert of your country within a year. Your country does not allow vandalism. The area where the trees planted in our country can survive after one year is the land that your country gave us to pay off the debt. , just use the tree as the center of the radius of 100 meters. Of course, we will take the land if we win, but no matter whether we win or lose, we will not ask for the money for this weapon order.”

"That's not acceptable. If you plant trees near the oases, wouldn't we only be left with deserts?" Enver was very flexible, and he immediately objected.

"I think you have misunderstood. We proposed this bet mainly to test new tree species. If we want to experiment, it is naturally the most difficult environment, so our bet range only includes Najd and Hejaz in the Arabian Peninsula. And areas with serious desertification like Kuwait." Chen Wenbao laughed.

The three giants looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, why they wanted these barren lands to pay off the debts, and it was still a gambling situation. "Our country is willing to make this bet, as long as it is limited to one year." Enver felt that the Western District was giving him money this time, and it would be too unkind if he didn't accept it.He didn't even bother to discuss with the two friends, for fear that Chen Wenbao would suddenly regret it.

"In this case, we will send a large number of farmers to plant trees in the desert." Chen Wenbao nodded and said: "This time the bet is the same as last time, if we win, we will cede the map to the Western Special Zone by treaty. "

"There is no problem." Enver smiled brightly, but they didn't know how badly they would lose a year later.

After negotiating a bet with the top management of the Ottoman Empire and signing an agreement, Chen Wenbao rushed to Berlin again without stopping.Because of the pressure from the Saar Kingdom, the material support of the Western Special Zone to the Allies will be forced to stop, but before that, Zhao Shouhong must help the Teutonic Kingdom to persevere, so he will make the last exchange.

Chapter 695 Craft Recipe

A week later, Chen Wenbao arrived in Berlin, and he directly asked to meet Wilhelm II.Since Hualan decided to join the Allied Powers, although Zhao Shouhong had called to explain, William II was still dissatisfied.Now I heard that it was Chen Wenbao, the business representative of Hanxing Group Company, who asked for an interview, and he immediately interviewed him.

"Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, on behalf of Mr. Zhao Shouhong, the Chief of the Western Special Zone, I would like to extend my sincere wishes to you." Chen Wenbao is very familiar with the various etiquettes of the Western Continent, and he has already used them very fluently.

William II nodded and said: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you are the business representative of the Hanxing Group in the Western Mainland. I think you can also represent Mr. Zhao Shouhong."

"Of course, I can convey His Majesty's meaning." Chen Wenbao said.

"Then I want to ask Zhao Shouhong why Hualan joined the Allied Powers to fight against the Teutonic Kingdom." William II seemed a little excited: "Is he going to abandon his good friends and smile at those villains in Saar? "

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the western special zone is not the central government of Hualan, and has no diplomatic authority. Before the central government joined the Allied Powers, Mr. Zhao tried to dissuade it many times, but the central government insisted on going its own way, and the western special zone could do nothing about it." Chen Wenbao spread his hands. road.

"Then why did you come here today?" William II said.

"Because our country has joined the Allied Powers group, the Saar Kingdom used this to put pressure on us to stop providing supplies to the Teutonic Kingdom." Chen Wenbao said.

"What? So the Western District has abandoned his Teutonic friends?" William II stood up angrily.At this moment, his whole body was trembling, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he was enduring a huge humiliation.

"Father, don't be angry. Zhao Shouhong did nothing. After Hualan entered the war, he couldn't continue to provide us with supplies, otherwise he would be considered a traitor. This is an international practice, and he cannot change it alone." At that time, Crown Prince William still chose to defend his good friend.

William II said: "But the military situation of the Allies is very good now, and it is about to occupy the entire Western Continent. Once the Western Special Zone no longer supplies raw materials such as saltpeter, we will be in the embarrassment of having no ammunition available, and all good situations will be wasted."

"Your Majesty's words made Mr. Zhao wronged. The Western Special Zone paid a huge price in order to provide sufficient supplies for your country. We were even forced by the Sa'er Kingdom to subscribe for a batch of war bonds in humiliation." Chen Wen What Bao said was very sensational, which made William II feel a little moved unconsciously.

"In addition, in order to allow the Teutonic Kingdom to win the final victory, Mr. Zhao will not hesitate to use the most secret technological process to trade with the Teutonic Kingdom." Chen Wenbao said.

"Oh? What is the technological process?" Crown Prince William was a little curious. The things Zhao Shouhong exchanged last time were of great benefit to the war potential of the Teutonic Kingdom, allowing them to take advantage of the early stages of the war.Not only was the hood piercing bullet in the Battle of Jutland severely damaged the Saar people, but even the small submachine guns were extremely sharp. Now all eight divisions of the Teutonic country have been equipped with MP[-]I submachine guns.

"Here are two process flow charts, one for ammonia synthesis and the other for phosgene." Chen Wenbao said.

"Phosgene?" All the Teutonic dignitaries present gasped.The phosgene provided by Hualan last time allowed the Teutonic Kingdom to conquer the Fortress of Verdun in one fell swoop at a very slight cost, killing the French and retreating in a row.Since then, the Teutonic state has become obsessed with gas warfare.But as phosgene was used up, the Teutonic country had to replace it with chlorine gas.Chlorine gas is not only much less powerful, but also tends to move to low-lying places because of its high specific gravity, which is very ineffective.If you don't use hundreds of tons each time, it will be difficult to work.

Now that Hualan actually intends to give such an important technological process of phosgene to the Teutonic country, this is simply a matter of pie in the sky.No matter what the synthetic ammonia is, the phosgene process alone is enough to exchange for any secret technology of the Teutonic state.

"There are no industrial talents here. We have used phosgene and know what it is, but we don't understand this synthetic ammonia." Crown Prince William asked.

Chen Wenbao looked at the ministers around him and said with a smile: "Actually, this synthetic ammonia is tens of millions of times more precious than the process of phosgene, and it even concerns the life and death of the Teutonic Kingdom."

"Oh?" William II's eyes lit up, he got up and asked, "Tell me, what is the use of this synthetic ammonia?"

Chen Wenbao said calmly: "Actually, synthetic ammonia has only one function. It uses the nitrogen in the air to make explosives."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a deep breath.Using the inexhaustible air to synthesize explosives, the Teutonic state will not need to rely on imported saltpeter in the future.Even if the Western Special Zone no longer supplies supplies, the Teutonic state can rely on itself to fight. After all, the only thing that the Teutonic state really lacks is saltpeter.
