New Warlords 1909

But even so, the other few items are enough to tempt people!In particular, modifications can also be added, and it is a secret agreement.This can not only rapidly expand the commercial interests in China, but also avoid the fierce reaction of countries such as Britain and France in the short term. Why not do it?

"Dear Commander, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your trust in us Germans. We are very interested in this cooperation agreement. Do you have any conditions? You may wish to say it together!" Although the heart and Ruden Finn and the others were equally excited, but Malzan was still extremely calm and authentic.

"I have a condition. This condition is very simple for Germans!" Hua Fei said relaxedly, "One, provide an interest-bearing loan of [-] billion gold marks to the government of our autonomous region. We use the mineral resources and taxes in the autonomous region as the Mortgage, all the principal and interest will be repaid within ten years." (Due to lack of information, an inaccurate exchange rate was used, and [-] billion gold marks equaled about [-] million U.S. dollars, which was equivalent to [-] billion silver dollars.)

"Second, we hope that your country can help us upgrade the Jiangnan Shipyard, and hope that your country can provide technical support and guidance training for the production of new submarines! In addition, we hope to secretly import [-] rounds of [-] torpedoes from your country that can be launched by submarines! "

"Three, we hope that your country will help us build a radio factory and a large-scale internal combustion engine factory! Of course, we will pay when the price is, these few are completely commercial cooperation. If your country feels inappropriate, we can seek help from other countries , and will definitely not affect our strategic partnership agreement!"

Although the loan of [-] billion gold marks is not huge for Germany, it is still a lot of money. Your Excellency the commander has a lot of appetite.The submarine factory is nothing, but the fish export is a little risky.As for the third article, it is the real business cooperation that Hua Fei said!

Even so, Malzan still didn't dare to ignore it, and immediately stood up and said, "I will report to our government as soon as possible and give the message to Your Excellency, Commander, goodbye!"

147 Great Challenge

People come and go in a hurry, and they are still in casual clothes, and they go through the side door, so I am afraid they have to pay attention.After seeing them off, Hua Fei started breakfast.For these proposals, Hua Fei believed that the Germans would not refuse.As a new big country, it is not that they do not desire to occupy colonies and obtain rich raw material production areas and markets, but they are almost divided up by countries such as Britain and France.

Although Hua Fei's proposal is not as perfect as imagined, it is definitely an opportunity for the Germans! Although the loan of [-] billion gold marks is high, but asking for the price, repaying the money on the ground, and striving for as much funds as possible, Hua Fei's many construction plans can be accelerated!

In this era of strategic ship dominance, submarines, as a naval weapon that has not been in service for a long time, have not attracted the attention of all countries.Therefore, Hua Fei believes that the introduction of submarine technology should not cause too much reaction, at least much smaller than the reaction of building a strategic cruiser.

The well-known small-sized submarine will set off a record that cannot be ignored in World War I.The great submarine ghosts will leave a strong mark in the history of naval operations.

Compared with strategic ships, cruisers, and submarines, they are undoubtedly the most suitable for Huafei's current strength reality in terms of cost and cost performance.

As for the torpedo, although it was a bit risky, Hua Fei believed that the Germans were not afraid of adventure and gambling spirit.Otherwise, how could they have caused World War II?

Radio stations and internal combustion engine factories?That's even easier.Hua Fei put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin with a smile all over his face, everything was according to plan, it was wonderful!

Time flies, and another heavy snow falls on Shanghai. This kind of scene of snowflakes flying all over the sky is rarely seen in later generations.The renovation and relocation of the Jiangnan factory is coming to an end. The required machinery and equipment can be manufactured by itself and added to the production plan. Some key technology upgrade machines, most of which have already placed orders with foreign companies.Although foreigners suddenly maintained a subtle distance from Hua Fei, on the surface, the autonomous government was recognized by the living central government, and they had to maintain a cooperative relationship.

On the Bund of the Shanghai Concession, Hua Fei was walking along the banks of the Huangpu River under the protection of plainclothes guards.After coming to Shanghai for so long, it was the first time that he came out so leisurely to appreciate Shanghai at the beginning of the [-]th century, a city that is unique in the modern history of China.

The ten-mile foreign market is full of cars and characters from various countries. Occasionally, I see one or two 'well-dressed' yellow faces in suits and leather shoes. They are either so-called translators or compradors of foreign companies.Most of the Chinese can only work as lowly laborers here.Whether they were foreigners or Chinese on the road, when they saw Hua Fei, a group of pedestrians with very special temperament and attire, they all cast curious eyes.In particular, Hua Fei and his group are all young and handsome guys. The baptism of war has given these young people with immature faces an unspeakable charm and heroic spirit, which has attracted many blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners. When the person held his head high and his chest high, the energy became even stronger.

Most of the affairs in Shanghai have been settled, and the chamber of commerce alliance meeting that is under construction will not be held until the autonomous government is formed.It has been ten days since the Germans left and there is still no news. Although Hua Fei was a little anxious, he did not send anyone to ask for news.The only thing that bothered him was that the direct election of local councilors was about to start, and Song Jiaoren still didn't reply to him.

"Commander Hua... Commander Hua. Please wait!"

A seemingly familiar voice came from the side.I saw a man in a white shirt.A woman in black trousers.Holding the latest Leica camera made in Germany.Jump out of a rickshaw.Trot over in small steps.

"You're... oh. You're the Observer!"

Hua Feidi said a word.Immediately, the female reporter who met by chance burst out laughing.I saw her stretch out her small white hand.Generous and authentic. "It's an honor to see you again. Commander Hua. Introduce myself. I'm a reporter from the Observer. Ingrid Hermann."

"Miss Herman. It's an honor to meet you. Although you already know my identity, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hua Fei. Thank you."

Hua Fei naturally held Herman's hand.said with a smile.So easy to introduce.The ground did make Ingrid Hermann startled slightly.Then he smiled frankly. "Mr. Hua, you are really different. I don't know what Mr. Hua is doing in the concession today? Can you tell me some news?"

"Miss Herman, I have two major news materials, but I can only tell you one. May I ask Miss Herman, do you want to know the first one? Or the second one?"

Herman originally just came out by car to take pictures of scenery and culture, and didn't want to suddenly see a commander she had interviewed walking along the Huangpu River with the guards.Heman was overjoyed. It was a professional habit to ask Hua Fei for news, and it was a joke to bring some clues. Who knew there would be important news clues!

"Really? In that case, I'll just listen to the first news thread!"

"Big news, Miss Ingrid Herman, chief beauty reporter of The Observer in China, and Hua Lengzi took a walk on the Bund." Hua Fei coughed, and seemed to be holding a newspaper, reciting the headlines on the front page.

Herman was taken aback, and immediately realized, he burst into laughter and said, "Haha...Mr. Hua...you...you are so funny, what kind of news is this?"

"Isn't this news?" Hua Fei shrugged and asked himself in confusion.

This made Herman laugh again, but thinking about it carefully, if this was seen by other tabloid reporters, it would really be news.Heman didn't care about this, Hua Fei's relaxed topic immediately eliminated a lot of the strangeness between the two of them.Heman was very interested in Hua Fei's Hua Lengzi. Although she had heard this nickname many times, she never knew the origin!

So Hua Fei and Herman chatted about some past events while walking along the riverside on the Bund, making the reporter laugh happily from time to time.Hua Fei is not a serious and rigid person, but since time travel, the strangeness of the times and the urgency of history have made him seldom let go of his heart and enjoy the relaxed pleasure.

However, as he gradually integrated into this era, everything developed completely beyond Hua Fei's expectations.Although the pressure on the shoulders is heavier, everything is on a good track.The chance encounter with Ingrid Hermann made Hua Fei feel relaxed when he returned to the years when he was growing up in America.

"So, there are still so many nicknames for Commander Hua. Mr. Hua has become a general who commands thousands of troops at a young age. There must be many suitors? I wonder if Mr. Hua can disclose his personal love life? "Ingrid Herman seemed to have turned into a gossip reporter, with eyes full of excitement.

"Ahem, personal privacy is involved, please forgive me for not being able to answer! Of course, if Miss Herman is willing to exchange personal privacy, I will consider this deal!" Hua Fei said deliberately.

"Are you asking if I'm single?"

"Miss Herman can understand it in this way."

"Although I don't like a person very much, there's nothing I can do about it. There are too few Americans in China, and there are even fewer outstanding Americans." Herman seemed to have no taboo, confessing frankly.

"I'm curious, then why did you choose to be a journalist and why did you come to far away China?" Hua Fei has been curious about this for a long time.

Department of Finance.And judging from her speech, manners and certain details and habits, the family is definitely not an ordinary family of ordinary citizens.If it is not clear that the wave of isolationism in the United States is very popular, Hua Fei even suspects that she is a spy sent by the Americans.

"Because I don't like my major, I like traveling and exploring. Very early on, I had a dream of going around the world. When I was studying, I read a book about China from a world history book. Introduction. So from that period on, I have longed to come to China.”

Heman seemed completely unaware of Hua Fei's inner speculation about her, but excitedly chattered on and on, whenever she encountered unfamiliar words in Chinese, she directly replaced them in English.

"And being a reporter is a very good professional identity for me to travel around the world. I have been to Greece, Egypt, Iran, and came to China a month ago. I plan to stay in the first half of the year and then go to the last stop, India!"

"Then what is your impression of China?" Hua Fei couldn't help but ask.

Herman smiled lightly, but still said truthfully, "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed, but...not completely disappointed!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Hua Fei was even more curious now.

"Personal privacy, please forgive me for not being able to answer!" Herman imitated Hua Fei's tone and imitated his tone with seriousness and authenticity, which made Hua Fei laugh out loud.It's hard to see that this beautiful and charming reporter Herman actually has such a funny side.

"Okay, my deal is done, it's your turn!"

"Deal? What deal?" Hua Fei asked with a confused look.

"You... I exchanged my personal privacy for yours. Now that I have completed the transaction, it's time for you to talk about your privacy!"

"Oh, so it's this!" Hua Fei suddenly realized, but pretended to be thinking, "But I seem to just say that I'm considering this deal, and I didn't promise to complete this deal!"

"You...you..." If the Leica camera in his hand was not very precious, Herman really wanted to throw the camera at him and kill this bastard. "You are a dishonest scoundrel, how can you deceive a noble and beautiful lady?"

"report!"

Hua Fei was about to reply, but was interrupted by Wang Meng's report.Seeing that he was having such a happy chat with someone, this guy interrupted himself, there must be something important.Immediately apologized, walked a few steps over, "What's the matter?"

"Commander, there is someone over there who wants to see you and gave me this piece of paper!"

Hua Fei opened it and saw that it was a blank piece of paper with two simple patterns drawn on it, one eye and one hand.Hua Fei frowned slightly, immediately remembered something, and whispered to Wang Meng, "Bring him here."

"Yes!"

Hua Fei turned around and smiled in Heman's direction, beckoning her to wait a moment, then walked forward and opened a distance.

"Small... young master!"
