"Xiao Letian, my little friend, do you really think I will let you leave Europe without protection? I know the French Emperor too well. The basis of all his governance is victory, and he cannot bring France any The victorious emperor will be ousted sooner or later..."
Bismarck was sitting in the study room of his official residence in Berlin, facing the North Sea to the west. He knew that Xiao Letian had now boarded a British warship, and his journey back home was finally protected by the most powerful navy in the world, the British Royal Navy.
"Actually, your best choice to go home is to cross the Atlantic and take the US to the Eastern Pacific to return home. Such a journey should be the safest, but it is a pity that you have to rush for time, and there is no complete connection between the east coast and the west coast of the United States. It’s connected to the railway. If you choose this place, you probably can’t afford to waste the time..."
"Bon voyage my friend, I hope your national rejuvenation plan will go smoothly..."
Just when Bismarck was missing his little friend, there was a knock on the study door, and the secretary's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I have compiled the information you wanted... and Mr. Nobel just came to visit, He is also here to discuss Eastern investment matters with you..."
"Send the documents in first. Mr. Nobel will ask him to come in in ten minutes..." The secretary put down the documents and turned to leave. Bismarck looked at the one-foot-thick document in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Is it really okay for me to do this? Will my choice really not harm European civilization? If Xiao Letian really leads the East to become stronger, will he be our biggest enemy in the future?"
Bismarck was only distracted for a few seconds, and then he shook his head and said with a smile, "It's just like what the Chinese said, you've fallen into the well, what's the use of having ears hanging out, if Prussia is only European It’s a third-rate small country, so even if Western civilization is number one for ten thousand years, so what?”
Opening the thick documents, one after another technology that kept the Eastern world secret was displayed in front of him, including new steel smelting technology, coke refining technology, steam engines, lithographic printing, the latest chemistry, and high-precision lathe sets. ...Of course, various military technologies are indispensable, such as fixed bullets, rifled guns, artillery and the latest explosives from Nobel Company.
What is placed in front of the Prime Minister is not one or two pieces of science and technology, but dozens of rigorous industrial systems. Each new technology can derive countless auxiliary technologies. This foot-thick document is actually just a catalog. .
Seeing the last words, Bismarck burst into tears, "Oh my God, Xiao Let, I have dug out all the foundations of modern European technology. I hope your plan can succeed, otherwise I will become the biggest player in European history." A laughingstock..."
The plan Bismarck was talking about was the one first proposed by Xiao Letian, using Lotte & Co. as a puppet in East Asia. In fact, Xiao Letian and Bismarck jointly invested in it to make a strategic breakthrough that was hidden from the whole world.
Lotte Corporation will build the largest and most technologically advanced shipyard in East Asia in Ryukyu, and then use Chinese money and German technology and engineers to jointly build that kind of fantastic steel giant ship.
Bismarck didn't know how to believe Xiao Letian's nonsense. Why did the artillery increase the caliber and completely use breech-loading rifled guns, and the shells used one-piece fixed-load ammunition? Why did the main artillery choose to rotate the turret on the central axis of the battleship? It was evenly distributed, completely changing the design idea of the sail battleship.
What’s even more bizarre is that this kind of warship will completely abandon its sails and use underwater propellers to provide thrust. The steel-protected cabin will be filled with dark coal.
"What nonsense, Xiao Letian, you are just talking nonsense... But why am I so obsessed with all your nonsense." While Bismarck was meditating, there was a knock on the door, and the person who walked in was The future famous Mr. Nobel.
"Prime Minister, have you thought about it? If you and His Majesty the King agree to the outflow of technology, I am going to personally go to East Asia... To be honest, for me, a businessman and scientist, someone has provided interest-free loans to help us. We are in favor of expanding business... Now it depends on the attitude of the Kingdom..."
Bismarck lit his pipe and took two strong puffs. The conflict in his heart now was even more serious than the war with France. Once this gamble succeeded, Xiao Letian would disguise a super-combatant army for Germany in the Pacific. Once the fleet comes out, when the war breaks out with the French, Germany may be able to seize all the French colonies and even put the greatest overseas pressure on Britain.
But once the bet was lost, his deceptive strategy against Britain would be completely ruined. Britain and France would join forces to punish Prussia, but his entanglement only lasted a few minutes, and finally he said to himself viciously.
"If you want to seize this historic opportunity, you must have the courage that no human being can imagine. We did it... Prussia did it." After speaking, he picked up the pen and signed his name on the thick document. name.
At the same time, in the heavy fog in London, at No. 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister, the Earl Xiaobi also received a piece of information. The gentleman standing in front of him came from a famous man from later generations. MI6, this unassuming gentleman is probably the ancestor of 007.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, through the disdainful efforts of our intelligence officers, we discovered that Prussia is preparing to provide Xiao Letian with the latest technology on a large scale... Currently, four series involving more than 200 small projects have been leaked..."
"There are the latest steel plants, chemical plants, machinery manufacturing bureaus, and military industrial enterprises... They even want to build a brand new shipyard. Xiao Letian is going to build his own navy..."
The Earl of Derby has been reading the newspaper in his hand, which contains detailed information about various horse racing. During this time, he did not raise his head. It was not until the ancestor of 007 mentioned the word navy that he put down the newspaper.
"Navy, hahaha, are you kidding? Does China have an ocean in its soul? Do they have the consciousness of a navy? What can they do even if they build warships? Do they have the guts to compete in the high seas? They are just a group of offshore defense fleets. That’s all…”
"Stop creating obstacles for Xiao Letian. Even if the Germans don't provide many of the technologies you mentioned, the United States will provide them sooner or later. This guy is very rich. Even if you buy him with money, you can buy a lot of them..."
At this time, 007's ancestor asked anxiously, "Are we just going to let the Chinese develop and grow in vain? You must know that Xiao Letian's economic strength is no less than that of a medium-sized European country..."
"Hahaha... don't be nervous, relax, you still don't understand China well..." Count Doubi poured a glass of wine for 007, "What kind of country is China now? It was a country ruled by aliens for two hundred years, and now cynicism is rampant. Society, the internal resistance Xiao Letian faces is unimaginable..."
"The navy, I'm afraid, was completely wiped out by internal strife before it was even established... Unless Xiao Letian is planning to rebel and become emperor himself, hahaha... That's even more impossible. If that happens, the huge China It will take him at least fifteen to twenty years to calm down the situation a little..."
"Do you think China still has time?" The Earl of Derby shook his head disdainfully. "I have seen through China six years ago. It is a hopeless country. The emergence of any outstanding person will only extend the continuation of this ancient country." To save life, just apply some white powder on the dead body..."
"We and the French army broke through the city of Beijing. Can you believe that Chinese officials would take the initiative to lead us to burn their palace, and all the strategies to force Emperor Xianfeng were thought up by the Chinese..."
"Oh, you are talking about Gong Cheng, the Chinese who calls himself Gong Banlun." 007 subconsciously called out that name.
The Earl of Derby curled his lips and said with disdain, "You think he is just one person, but you are wrong. He represents a large part of China's intellectuals. I remember very clearly that during the diplomatic negotiations in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites of China, Prince Gong The person sitting opposite is Gong Banlun..."
"In his secret letter to Congress, Minister Wytoma said that Gong Banlun's words were extremely fierce during the negotiations, and his debate level even exceeded that of the most famous member of the British Parliament. The Qing negotiators had no trump cards at all in front of him, and even Even Prince Gong was left speechless..."
"The angry Prince Gong shouted, 'You, Gong Cheng, are also a minister who has been favored by the country, why do you want to help others?' But guess what Gong Banlun answered."
The Earl of Derby smiled bitterly and said, "My father couldn't even become a member of the Imperial Academy even if he wanted to. You don't want me to take an imperial examination. I have survived until now and need to rely on foreigners to pay me a salary. You said that I have received the country's favor in this life. Where is the country's favor?" .”
"Hahaha, look, this is China's literati. Do you really think there is only one like this? You are wrong. This Gong Cheng is just brave enough to say what all the literati are thinking... They are simply They have no sense of country or nation. In their hearts, having breasts is a mother. An official position in the Hanlin Academy and a title in the imperial examination are already reasons for treason..."
The Earl of Derby stood up and walked around the house to relieve the pain in his ankle. "My child, you have to remember this sentence. You have to remember this sentence for the British intelligence agency... If there is a war with China in the future, Remember to bribe these literati in large numbers. They may appear tough on the surface, but they just want the so-called face. This group of greedy people will not refuse the benefits that are delivered to them privately..."
"This has almost become a cultural phenomenon in China. Xiao Letian's power is getting stronger and stronger, and it is inevitable that the interests of these people will be squeezed more and more. One day there will be a showdown between them... For these people who believe in For a 'cynical' scholar, as long as there are enough interests, the country can be sold..."
"As long as there are enough benefits, the Manchus can become emperors, and the Russians, French, and British can also be emperors... Well, just kidding, even if their neighbors in the east, the Japanese, become their emperors, I I don’t think these people will object…”
"Hahaha... My dear child, don't take Xiao Letian's threat too seriously. These technologies can form productive forces in the hands of us Westerners. In the hands of these Easterners, I'm afraid they will all become pieces.' It’s such a big toy with strange skills and tricks..."
The Earl of Derby waved his right hand downwards, "Let it go, lower the threat level of this intelligence by three levels... Xiao Letian has nothing to be afraid of."
Note: The one-eyed dragon typing method is really uncomfortable. I finished such a chapter in one afternoon. After typing for ten minutes, I had to close my eyes for five minutes. The tears in my right eye flowed down like a stream...
