Hearing that Zhao Shouhong was coming, Ludwig Mauser, the president of the Mauser factory, Alfred Krupp, the president of Krupp, and Ernst Leitz, the president of Leica Optics, all took the initiative to go At the railway station, Yang Xizi, the Governor of Arabia Province, greeted the arrival of the train together.

Zhao Shouhong did not expect that he would be so popular.When they got off the train, they found that besides the military and political officials waiting on the platform for a long time, there were also a group of men from the Western Continent with blond hair, white skin and blue eyes.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong getting off the car, Yang Xizi was the first to greet him: "Master Chief, you are finally here. Let me introduce you to the friends who are here to pick you up."

All the military and political officials present were old acquaintances of Zhao Shouhong, so he naturally knew them all.The reason why Yang Xizi was the first to greet Zhao Shouhong was actually those entrepreneurs from the Teutonic Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Although these people are now living in the Western Special Zone, the biggest beneficiary is the Special Zone itself.The high-tech, high-level technicians and senior designers of these large companies are a rare asset. Making good use of these talents will greatly promote the development of the special zone.

These factories were all relocated to the Arabian Province, ostensibly to be close to the western continent, so that after the situation in the Teutonic state improved, migration would be more convenient.In fact, the Arabian province has just changed from a desert to a livable jungle area. In addition, the aborigines have all been removed, and the immigration from Hualan is slow because of its low attractiveness.Now that these large factories resume production here, it will not only provide many jobs, but also drive the overall expansion of downstream industries, which is very beneficial to the prosperity of the Arabian Province.

With enough job opportunities, the immigration plan can be carried out faster, the rule of the Western Special Zone will be stabilized quickly, and this place will become the native area of ​​the Hualan nation.In addition to these two benefits, Zhao Shouhong also has deeper considerations. The Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom have not completely declined. The White Eagle Kingdom is rising strongly, and these big countries are very sensitive to the rise of other forces.

Although the White Eagle Kingdom has temporarily maintained a friendly relationship with the Western Special Administrative Region due to issues such as pressure from the Saar Empire, the two sides have huge conflicts of interest in the Eastern Ocean.There is no country that will be a permanent ally, and there is no enemy that cannot be united. This is what Zhao Shouhong deeply believes.Once the common threat of the Wa country is eliminated, the two countries will have some collisions. By that time, the special zone must have sufficient deterrent power.

In addition to the threats from the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent, another real threat is the Wa Kingdom.The Wa Kingdom is adjacent to the Hualan Kingdom, and has always been eyeing the mainland since its restoration.If Saar and other countries are the powerful foreign enemies of the Hualan Kingdom, then the Wa Kingdom is a confidant.

The history of the Saar Empire using the Wa Kingdom to deal with the Hualan Kingdom has already clearly shown that the Wa Kingdom is a very dangerous neighbor.Although the development speed of the Western Special Zone has gradually surpassed that of Japan, so that it cannot really threaten the security of the Special Zone, it is another matter to have the funding of foreign enemies.

When the strength of the Western Special Zone is truly demonstrated and the Wa Kingdom can no longer be used as a shield, the Hualan Kingdom may face the situation where the Western Continent and the Wa Kingdom will join forces to suppress the Hualan Kingdom. In fact, this sign has become more and more obvious.When the situation is at its most severe, if the Teutonic Kingdom can be revived and attract the attention of the Western Continent and the New Continent, Zhao Shouhong will have the opportunity to get rid of this heinous trouble and prevent the Hualan Kingdom from repeating the same history.

These large companies in the Arabian Province are the essence of the industry of the Teutonic state. Once these large companies are returned to the Teutonic state at an appropriate time, their national strength will inevitably increase dramatically.When the national strength of the Teutonic Kingdom reached a certain level, enough to threaten the safety of the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom, they would have no time to worry about the power structure of the Eastern Continent.

There are quite a few behind-the-scenes left behind, but Zhao Shouhong knows that he needs to be hardworking himself. He must develop the Western Special Zone at the fastest speed to a level that makes other countries afraid, and the period of such development opportunities will not be too long.In order to help the special zone's industrial strength grow faster, it is necessary to unite with these Teutonic state companies, so Zhao Shouhong came here in person.

According to the traditional customs of Hualan Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong was taken to the hotel after the greetings, where they will use the dinner party to discuss some cooperation matters.But now all the people living here are from the Teutonic and Austrian countries. They are not used to the habit of talking about things at the wine table, so they made a change and changed the dinner party into a dance party.

In order to show his affinity as much as possible, Zhao Shouhong made an exception and brought Sun Yuting together, and this time the dance can just take advantage of this.The chief of the special zone held a reception in the hotel, which made the hotel very tense from top to bottom. The lobby manager checked over and over again whether the tablecloths were clean, whether the cups and towers were properly arranged, the floor should not have the slightest stain, and even the chairs were replaced. New velvet chair covers.

At around six o'clock in the evening, executives from major companies brought their wives or lovers to the table, and soon the senior military and political officials stationed in Arabian Province also came. Zhao Shouhong in the formal dress led Sun Yuting, who was wearing a glamorous lace dress, down the stairs and into the hall.

The man is handsome and unrestrained, the woman is gorgeous and charming, coupled with the gorgeous costumes that can highlight the elegant temperament, so that Zhao Shouhong and Sun Yuting became the focus of the audience as soon as they appeared on the stage.Many Teutonic youths even exaggerated bursts of exclamation to express their shock at the appearance of this couple.

Alfred hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Hi, sir, you have a beautiful wife, which is really enviable." For this kind of complimenting etiquette in the Western Continent, it seems a bit abrupt in the Eastern Continent , but Zhao Shouhong would not mind, he quickly expressed his thanks.

Soon, many big entrepreneurs from the Teutonic country came to say hello, and their enthusiasm was no less than that of facing the Kaiser at Christmas.For these big entrepreneurs, Zhao Shouhong always smiled and returned gifts one by one.These Teutonic people spoke highly of Zhao Shouhong's humble and gentle demeanor.

Zhao Shouhong had already arrived, and the dance had officially begun. When the elegant jazz played, the first song was just beginning.The first dancers were of course the most important people today, Zhao Shouhong and Sun Yuting.For Zhao Shouhong, who came from later generations, he is no stranger to Western-style pas de deux, and Sun Yuting, who once studied in the Teutonic country, also handles it with ease.

Chapter 838 Development Direction

This was the first time Zhao Shouhong danced with Sun Yuting, holding his beloved wife in his arms, Zhao Shouhong tried his best to dance beautifully, and all the guests admired him.Zhao Shouhong had already left the stage, and other people also entered the dance hall one after another, and soon even those high-ranking military and political officials joined in.It's just that people in the Eastern Continent are not familiar with the dances of the Western Continent. Most of the high-ranking military and political officials were invited by the wives and daughters of the Teutonic merchants. Their dancing postures are as clumsy as bears.

After dancing a song, Zhao Shouhong walked to the sidelines and took out a white handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Sun Yuting also came to the sidelines with some unfinished business.Alfred, who had been waiting outside, greeted him again: "My lord, you are really skilled in dancing, just like a rich man who is used to being in the upper class of Teutonic society."

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said, "Did Mr. Krupp forget that when I first visited the Teutonic Kingdom, I lingered in the circle of the Teutonic nobles for several months."

Alfred was stunned: "That's true. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Mr. Chief's dancing skills have not been abandoned at all."

"It's much worse." Zhao Shouhong said humbly with a smile. The two chatted for a while, and finally turned to the main topic.

"Has the relocation of Mr. Krupp's factory been completed? Has production started?" Zhao Shouhong expressed his concern for the factory.

Alfred nodded and said: "The production has already started. The supply of raw materials in the special zone is sufficient, and the production is very smooth. At the beginning, I thought that the basic conditions of the Arabian Province were poor, at least the transportation was difficult to solve. I didn't expect that although it has not been under the command of the adults for a long time However, the construction speed of the railway is not slow, and the sea transportation is very convenient, so I feel more at ease."

"Did Mr. Krupp consider expanding the scale of production?" Zhao Shouhong asked again.

Alfred shook his head: "Although the government recently ordered a batch of artillery from us, it is obviously for export. The quantity is not too large and there is no guarantee. The output of the Krupp factory is enough now. There is no need to continue to expand production.”

Zhao Shouhong frowned slightly: "Does the Krupp factory only produce artillery?"

Alfred's face was a bit ugly: "No way, neither the shipyard nor the submarine factory has been relocated, so I only have the artillery factory in my hands. Even if engineers and skilled workers from the shipyard come with me, it will not help without equipment."

"I mean you can get involved in civilian industries." Zhao Shouhong guided.

"Civilian industry?" Alfred's face froze. In this era, all major factories are proud of the army. As for the civilian industry, which is considered to be produced by companies with weak technical capabilities, they disdain it.

As if knowing Alfred's thoughts, Zhao Shouhong explained with a smile: "I think reputation can't feed hungry workers, and actual benefits are more conducive to the healthy operation of the company. If we can use civilian industries to expand the company's production capacity and at the same time earn It’s a good idea for the company to get enough research funding.”

"But I am more inclined to the military industry. The Teutonic Kingdom will always rise again. Before that, we must make all preparations, especially in terms of military technology." Alfred puffed his chest.

"You're right." Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "But research requires funds. If you don't earn enough money to conduct research, civilian production is the best choice."

"According to the leader, what kind of industry should I choose to start with?" Alfred was finally convinced, and he quickly asked Ji Yu Zhao Shouhong.

"Krupp's precision machining is second to none, so we might as well find a way in this area. If we manufacture precision machine tools and sell them, we should make a lot of money." Although there are many heavy industries in Zhao Shouhong's jurisdiction, there are not many factories that can produce precision machine tools.Now that the entire special zone is starting to fully expand production, the production of precision machine tools cannot make up for the gap in demand, so Zhao Shouhong prefers Krupp to manufacture precision machine tools for civilian use.

Alfred thought for a while and nodded, "This is indeed our advantage. I will start to build a machine tool factory as soon as possible."

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "Of course, military scientific research should not be left behind. I plan to open up Saiud Port in Kuwait as a military port and design a large shipyard. If Mr. Krupp is interested, he can let engineers and skilled workers from those shipyards join Among them, we both jointly develop new warships and submarines. We pay half and half of the scientific research funds and share the results. In addition, if warships or submarines need to be built for testing, the SAR Navy is willing to provide funds and manpower.”

"Great, I agree with this cooperation project very much, so that we will combine the advantages of both parties and open up a broader research prospect." Alfred rubbed his hands in excitement.

"What kind of cooperation? Are you going to cooperate with the leader to open a factory?" Ludwig Mauser happened to pass by and came over after hearing Alfred's praise.

"We're talking about cooperation in military scientific research." Alfred had a good relationship with Ludwig, and he talked about the civilian industry and joint naval scientific research.

Ludwig's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he first bowed to Zhao Shouhong and said, "I want to apologize for my uncle's rudeness to you at the beginning. My uncle, Mr. Paul Mauser, refused to listen to your criticism of the GEW[-] rifle. As a result, we missed the opportunity to perfect the rifle. During the trench warfare of the Great War, the problems mentioned by the commander-in-chief were exposed one by one, and we carried out the transformation based on the commander-in-chief’s ideas, and we achieved remarkable results. It’s a pity that my Uncle died in [-], he didn't see his mistake."

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "Mr. Paul Mauser has made great achievements. He has devoted his whole life to the research and development of weapons. Even if there are some small flaws, the flaws are not concealed. He is still a great firearms expert."

"Thank you very much for your understanding." Ludwig said: "My Mauser company is also very interested in military cooperation. I wonder if you have such an intention?"

"Of course. I will send some firearms experts to work with Mauser to research new types of firearms, including conventional weapons such as rifles and machine guns, and of course anti-aircraft machine guns and aviation machine guns that will have development prospects in the future." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

Ludwig nodded again and again: "My lord commander's idea coincides with mine. As aircraft become more and more powerful, anti-aircraft machine guns and aviation machine guns are promising. In addition, we can also develop long-barreled sniper guns." Rifles and vehicle-mounted machine guns."

Chapter 839 It's a happy conversation

"That's right." Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "Does Mr. Mauser have any idea of ​​entering the civilian industry?"

"For civilian use, I've thought about it too. But Mauser rifles are very popular. Even though all production has been started now, it is very difficult to complete the order, so I don't have the energy to run the civilian industry." Ludwig was really too busy, so he had to give up : "However, I think Mr. Ernst Leitz will be more interested in the proposal. He has always put his main business in civilian use."

"Did I miss something?" Ernst Laitz walked over with a smile: "It seems that someone mentioned me just now."

"Yes, friend." Ludwig nodded and said, "I mentioned you to the General Commander. Your optical industry has always been oriented towards the civilian industry, and the prospect of cooperation with you should be even broader."

"That's true. In fact, I have already started producing civilian products such as glasses, magnifying glasses, and telescopes. I believe they will be put on the market soon." Ernst Letz laughed.

"Lycra is a world-class company, and I am willing to cooperate with it." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "I really hope to jointly build a factory to produce military telescopes and sniper scopes for the West Army."

Ernst Laitz's eyes lit up when he heard it. The Leica company's decision-making mistakes made the Zeiss company seize the opportunity and set up a joint factory in Guanghai City. As a result, both the military and the civilian market made a lot of money. Full.This time the Teutonic State was in decline, and Zeiss Company directly transferred its headquarters to Guanghai City, and completed the asset reorganization with ease, with minimal losses.

On the other hand, Lycra moved a large number of equipment to the Western Special Zone, and its production was interrupted for three months. Most of the market was taken away by Zeiss. The loss is self-evident.If it can cooperate with the official of the Western Special Zone to continue the research and development and production of military products, the Lycra company will be able to recover as soon as possible.

In fact, many optical companies have been established within Hanxing Group and some small businessmen, but the mirror grinding technology is quite high-end, and it is not possible to succeed just by imitating it.Zeiss and Leica, two of the top two optical companies in the world, have a very strict blockade on this kind of technology, and it is difficult for others to spy on them. Even this operation to support skilled workers has not been able to enter the two major companies.

As long as the mirror grinding technology is willing to invest money and energy, it is only a matter of time before it is developed. The scientists of Hanxing Group are also researching it day and night. However, in a short period of time, the military still needs the help of the two major companies.

Now that the Lycra company has suffered a lot due to the spread of the war, Zhao Shouhong is afraid that the price will be affected if the Zeiss company becomes a monopoly.That's why he is willing to support the Lycra company and help them recover.There are two companies competing, and the price and quality are guaranteed, which can also solve the urgent needs of the army.Ernst Laitz naturally agreed to such a good thing. He even excitedly suggested that he send technicians to open a factory in Yazhou City, Zhongchuan Province to provide various optical equipment needed by major research institutes.
