Red Alert 1895 Chapter 163

Two days after the military parade ends, the ministers of various countries must go back as soon as possible, and then pass the news to the country. Because the Taiwan Navy has a full displacement of almost 90,000 tons of warships, this is also ranked among the top in the world. This displacement is enough to rank in the top eight in the world, so everyone should not ignore the power of Taiwan. Moreover, the hit rate of the shells fired by the navy is almost against the sky, which makes many people feel scared. Because the hit rate is high, it means that one warship can be used as several warships, so who doesn't worry about the enemy and himself? And they hope to pass this news back to the country as soon as possible, so that the country can make a decision as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency, we meet again!" Hai Jing said.

When Wang Guorui looked at this person, he immediately felt a little surprised, and then the German Minister Hai Jing had only been away for two days, why did he come back? I'm afraid he didn't return to Beijing at all, and turned the boat back for some unknown reason. This is really unbelievable.

"Minister Hai Jing, what can you do?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Hai Jing didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "I heard that Taiwan has a complete set of design drawings for the Sovereign-class battleship, is it true?"

"Oh? Where did you hear that?" Wang Guorui asked back.

"We have someone beside Dou Nale!" Hai Jing replied.

Wang Guorui understood that these gangs of foreign devils planted people in each other's embassies. This is how to snoop on other people's diplomatic secrets. And this British guy didn't know which link went wrong, so he exposed his deal with them. Wang Guorui used this drawing to blackmail the British and force the British to pay him a hush money. And it was a sum of £50,000. It would be more than 250,000 taels in silver, which is not a small amount of money. It was enough for Wang Guorui to purchase two 5,000-ton cruisers. However, this is based on the price inside the Red Alert base, not the construction market price outside.

However, Wang Guorui had no idea of ​​buying cruisers in a short period of time, and in order to appease the British guy, Wang Guorui also agreed to use it to purchase British goods, so that part of the money could flow back to the British government through taxes. and will not be taken outside the UK. This made the British feel a lot better, at least they didn't lose money.

"Governor Wang Guorui. If you have this blueprint, please ask for a suitable price. I want to buy this blueprint. As long as you are willing, you can also gain the friendship of our Germans." Hai Jing said.

Hai Jing also wanted to buy the design drawings of the British Sovereign-class battleship, which could be used to analyze the weaknesses of the British Sovereign-class battleship. Then you can carry out research and development of battleships in a targeted manner, and then carry out restraint. And the design drawings of this kind of battleship can be said to exist like the highest wisdom essence of a country's industry, and they are also very valuable things, so the Germans also want to obtain these drawings, and then improve their own domestic warship designers. Design level, so that the warship design of one's own country can be improved to a higher level.

"How much are you willing to pay?" Wang Guorui asked.

"It's worth a mark of 100,000 pounds, but we have to pay for it with actual products!" Hai Jing said.

Hai Jing, a foreign devil, is not stupid, he actually knows that there is something to follow, and directly compensates with his own domestic products. This will not only stimulate the domestic economy. It can also avoid the outflow of funds, and the money can flow back to the government through some tax methods, so the cost is actually not as huge as imagined.

But for Wang Guorui. It is worthwhile to do so, in fact, it is just a design drawing, and it is not bad to be able to exchange for a mark worth 100,000 pounds. The German guy obviously knew about his deal with the British, so he doubled the price, so Wang Guorui could be tempted. With this money, a large amount of industrial equipment can be purchased. Then develop your own industrial strength on the island of Taiwan.

"Unfortunately, since I am too hot, since I have already agreed to the British, then I can't break my promise. Taiwan is a place of credibility, and we must not sell it. After all, we Chinese are nailing each other with one mouthful. We are You absolutely cannot do such a back-and-forth thing!" Wang Guorui said righteously.

Hai Jing felt a little frowned. This attitude of Wang Guorui did not fit their investigation. When did Wang Guorui become so "virtuous"? You must know that according to Hai Jing's investigation, this Wang Guorui is a guy who puts his hands in the coffin - desperate for money. But now he is actually not interested in large sums of industrial supplies, this simply surprised Hai Jing. Hai Jing even felt that Wang Guorui had really changed his gender. It was really strange that he was not tempted to see such a large sum of money. However, Hai Jing believed that Wang Guorui would definitely have something to say, and what he would do next was what Hai Jing cared about.

"Well, although I can't take it out and sell it, there is nothing in the agreement between me and the British that I can't give it to others! I, Wang Guorui, and Mr. Hai Jing are friends, and you are very good friends. Really I am a good friend who is too fat to wear a pair of trousers. So there is no problem if I give you some gifts. We conduct friendly exchanges for the sake of friendship for free, so I will give you some warship design drawings as gifts. Of course, this It was given to you for free. As a good friend, you also gave me some industrial products, and then I can set up an industrial production company by myself. Remember, we are all gifts for free, not business!" Kingdom Ray said.

Hai Jing really almost fainted, this Wang Guorui was really insidious enough to take advantage of loopholes in the contract. The agreement between Wang Guorui and the British was not to sell the blueprint to others, but there was no agreement not to give it to others. So Wang Guorui "freely" donated it to the Germans, and then the Germans also "freely" donated some industrial equipment to Wang Guorui, so that Wang Guorui can be regarded as establishing an industrial industry by himself, isn't it very good? Circumvention of the terms of this contract? Anyway, it's not a transaction between them, it's just a kind of friendly gift to each other, which is not within the forbidden range of Wang Guorui and the British.

"Is this the legendary Chinese hypocrisy?" Hai Jing thought in surprise.

Hai Jing found that he didn't know much about Wang Guorui, and Wang Guorui actually took advantage of the loopholes in the contract again, and then proceeded to profit for himself. And this kind of exploiting loopholes should be done by Western talents, but now Wang Guorui has also mastered this kind of gameplay, and it is so ruthless to exploit loopholes. But this has nothing to do with Hai Jing, as long as he knows that his task has been successful, it can be regarded as passing the task assigned by the country.

And Hai Jing soon reached an agreement with Wang Guorui, and then Hai Jing also left contentedly. And this time, Wang Guorui obtained industrial equipment worth 100,000 pounds again, and it can be said that he sold it at both ends. In this way, he obtained a total of 150,000 pounds of materials, which was just a blueprint.

This kind of design drawing can also be printed out by the advanced printer of the Red Alert system in the Red Alert base, and does not require too many complicated processes. And all kinds of design drawings can be printed out by themselves, as long as there are things in this world, they can also print design drawings. This is the anti-sky feature of the Red Police Base. It can adapt to the development and changes of this era at any time, and then get the corresponding drawings to print, and then Wang Guorui can immediately produce by himself. If he hadn't been worried about having a patent, he wouldn't have to be afraid at all, and would directly mass-produce and use the quantity to overwhelm others.

And Wang Guorui believes that the British can only suffer silently. After all, do the British still have the courage to come and attack themselves? Although the British navy is very strong, but they have to defend many places, it is impossible to not be afraid of sending them to attack them~www.mtlnovel.com~ and their own navy is not weak, if the British just send a squadron over Attack, it is not certain who will win the game! Therefore, Wang Guorui is not afraid of the British navy at all, and it is impossible for the British navy to send them all.

What's more, if the British can defeat their own navy, then their army will be a soft persimmon. Judging from the later Boer War, the combat effectiveness of the British army was worse than that of the Japanese army. They even suffered heavy losses in the Boer War. This is obviously bloody. Therefore, Wang Guorui can be sure that the British will not go to war with themselves over this design, and can only grit their teeth and swallow it. Once the British go to war, how many lives will they have to pay to conquer Taiwan? I am afraid that without the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it would be impossible to conquer Taiwan. For a "small" Taiwan, it is impossible for them to lose more than they gain. After all, they are capitalists, and everything must pay attention to costs and benefits, and war is even more so.

As for whether doing so will cause the British to think that Wang Guorui is a person with no credibility, Wang Guorui is not too concerned. Because international contracts are actually maintained by strength. If strength is not enough, then you should not expect the enemy to trust you with credibility. Therefore, the British will not completely fall out with Wang Guorui over this matter, they can only pinch their noses admit. And Wang Guorui himself has benefited a lot, and then made his industry in Taiwan develop faster. (to be continued)
