Beiyang reactionaries

"Can you come to us? Will someone stop you? After all, countries such as Britain, the United States, France and Japan have signed the 'arms embargo' agreement."

"General, those who are too famous, or those who are too powerful, are watched by the British, French and German military departments. It is estimated that it is impossible for these people to let them leave Germany. But there are so many military workers in the Krupp Arsenal There are experts who manufacture guns, cannons, and submarines. There are tens of thousands of workers and thousands of ordnance experts. Britain, France, and Germany are currently facing difficulties. Who cares about ordinary people? Where will the ordnance experts go?"

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

At present, among the three arsenals controlled by Duan Xun, the Gongxian arsenal is large in scale, but the purchased machinery and equipment are not fully in place, and only the first phase of construction has been completed.The subsequent construction requires Duan Xun's investment.

The other two arsenals, the Sichuan arsenal has surpassed the Hanyang arsenal in scale.However, the Sichuan Arsenal was greatly influenced by Japan. Half of the machinery and equipment in it were purchased from Japan, and there were also a large number of Japanese military experts serving as consultants there.

The Sichuan Arsenal has a total of seven large factories including the old factory, and four of them employ Japanese military experts as general consultants.So Duan Xun does not want Hanyang Arsenal to be influenced by the Japanese.It is also a good way to introduce a group of German military experts to build the Hanyang Arsenal.

In the eyes of Britain, France and Germany, ordinary military experts are precious to Duan Xun.

"Call Ding Wenjiang back and tell him that he can contact the military experts from the Krupp Arsenal. As long as he is willing to come to my place, I will try my best to meet their requirements in terms of housing and salary."

"Yes."

There are many talents in Europe.

But as a warlord, Duan Xun is most concerned about military experts.The other talents are pushed back first, Duan Xun has limited funds, and it is impossible to introduce the talents currently indicated in Europe on a large scale.

"anything else?"

"The third is that Mr. Ding has contacted several universities in France. They are very interested in accepting Chinese students, and they are willing to hold a one-year preparatory class for Chinese students, and then let them go to French universities. You can talk to other universities. Students go to school normally, study normally, and graduate normally. It’s just that the tuition fees they want are not low. I heard that many universities in France are not supported by the government, and it is very difficult financially. That’s why the number of foreign students will be released. I hope It can solve some economic problems."

"Is it a regular school?"

"Yes. They are all formal universities in France, and many of them are well-known universities in France."

"The things that money can solve are nothing. Do they have a limit on the number of people?"

"Some schools have a limit of 30 people a year, and some schools have relaxed to 100 people. There is no uniform limit."

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded.

This is a good thing.It's not that Duan Xun worships foreigners, but China currently lags far behind the big powers in terms of education.Especially in terms of science and engineering, China is completely a child compared with European and American powers.Even if there are one or two outstanding talents, the overall gap is not that big.If you want to catch up with the great powers, sending a large number of students to study abroad is the most direct and effective way to learn their most advanced technology. .

"You ask Ding Wenjiang to make a detailed list of schools and the number of people they need. Minister Luo (Luo Chengxiang), from now on, select the students with the best academic performance to study French in surprise. Then send them to French universities to study as soon as possible. This Let Wu Yuzhang be responsible for this matter."

"it is good."

"As for the funding issue, tell him not to worry. I'll raise enough money for him even if it's a waste of money."

"Yes."

Duan Xun is in a good mood.

Ding Wenjiang's work in Europe for more than a year has been quite fruitful.If Ding Wenjiang was not a scholar, an excellent geologist, Duan Xun really wanted Ding Wenjiang to work in the government department.

"Call Ding Wenjiang back, and hope that he will also contact universities in countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium. As long as he is willing to accept our students and let them go to university normally, then anything can be discussed."

"Yes."

Everything is good, but Duan Xun has a headache for not selling resources.

The current Duan Xun can sell these things.Industrial products are impossible. Selling primary products such as tung oil and pig bristles, as well as minerals such as coal, antimony ore, and tin ore are Duan Xun's only way to make money.

But what if you can’t sell it?

European economy?

When their industry can recover, it is estimated that it will take several years.Only when their industry recovers will they buy resources from China.It seems that I have to set up a workstation in Europe.

Only in this way can we keep abreast of changes in the European situation anytime and anywhere.It can also adjust its strategy for Europe according to changes in the European situation.

"How's it going?"

"It's been dealt with. But, Xinyuan, it won't work like this. The army is running away every day. Now the Suizhou Police Station is recruiting people, and many of us here just bring guns to sign up. They don't come here." No. I went to protest, but people ignored me at all.”

"Damn."

34-year-old Sun Chuanfang touched her bald head, feeling very bad.

I really couldn't sit down, so I stood up and took two steps, feeling very depressed.He came over to take a sip of water, but he drank too quickly and choked.

"Cough cough cough-"

"Are you OK."

"fine."

Sun Chuanfang was very upset when she fell from the position of calling the wind and rain in Hubei to this point.Just half a year ago, I was still the favorite general of Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, and I was still a figure under one man and above ten thousand people in this place in Hubei.

But now?

The desolate camped in Suizhou.

Although it is known as the commander of the second division, is the current army still called a division?Over the past few months, because the troops have no military pay, more and more deserters.There was even looting of places.

The people Duan Xun sent were not polite at all.

Arrest people when they come to their own barracks, announce their crimes in front of me, try them on the spot and shoot them on the spot.

Lost face.

"Brother Zixin, what do you think we should do now?"

At this point, there are not many people Sun Chuanfang can trust.The one I trust the most is Lu Qingting, my long-time friend in front of me.The relationship between the two is very good. They studied together, went to Japan together, attended the Japanese Military Academy together, and returned to China together.Later, they served as soldiers in the Second Division together, and came to Hubei together to work under Wang Zhanyuan.After so many years, it is the best friendship.

"Xinyuan, do you want to hear the truth?"

"What time is it now, what kind of nonsense is there between you and me?"

"Actually, we only have three options."

"Go ahead."

"The first is to continue to belong to the Ministry of the Army and wait for the Ministry of the Army to pay us the military salary."

"War Department of shit."

Sun Chuanfang couldn't help but swear.
