spn In Huize County in April and May, the sun was already scorching hot. It was a good place to live, and there were a few followers to wait on it. Zhang Shusheng was living a good life. He had money and easy things to do, so he invited a group of people to act in a show, up and down.

Everything went smoothly.

"Master, there are two foreign devils looking for you." The housekeeper played by Lao Sheng stomped upstairs, alerting Zhang Shusheng who was enjoying the cool air.[]

"Two? So fast?" Zhang Shusheng walked downstairs in confusion, only to see a burly guy with a strong air, who was obviously a soldier. The other person turned out to be the old Jewish man.

"You two have something to do with me?"

"Yeah!" The two looked at each other, seemingly hostile, but didn't say much.[

Zhang Shusheng nodded, motioned to the steward behind him, and said, "Uncle Fu, take this Jewish businessman downstairs to rest. I'll talk to him first."

Arriving at the secluded room upstairs, the visitor suddenly said: "You are not a young warlord!"

The cold tone almost made Zhang Shusheng not understand. Although the foreign language learned through the Dream Machine is very convenient and fast, there is still a lack of practical opportunities, especially the German language with strong local characteristics.

"Guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no reward." Zhang Shusheng said also coldly, using a different kind of humor.

"Zhang, don't be nervous. I am indeed here to do business with you." The German smiled sarcastically, and Zhang Shusheng was a little uncomfortable with the unique Germanic sense of humor.

"What do you want to buy? I don't know what your name is yet."

"Tank, tank drawings!" The German seemed anxious. He paused for a moment before replying: "You can call me von Scheidemann Zhang. How much do you need to sell it?"

Zhang Shusheng said calmly: "The tank drawings are very professional drawings. I don't remember you ever taking the drawings from me!"

"I have seen it from other businessmen. Kenneth may have mentioned to you that I am the German major who came to Yunnan with him." Schidemann was a little anxious. He was originally ordered to try to see if he could get in touch with this young master.

The Sichuan warlords behind the scenes, but when they arrived, they discovered that they were fakes. Those fake soldiers betrayed Zhang Shusheng. Temperament can sometimes be a good thing to deceive laymen, but it cannot be deceived by soft-footed shrimps who have never heard the sound of gunfire.

Scheidemann's.

"You must give me a reason to buy the tank drawings, and the price!" Zhang Shusheng asked tentatively.

Scheidemann pondered for a moment and then started speaking.

It turns out that things in the world are often such coincidences. What is slightly different from the general history that Zhang Shusheng knew is that during World War I, not only Britain was secretly developing "water tanks", but Germany, which had obtained top-secret information, was also secretly demonstrating the feasibility of this weapon.

feasibility.

Before coming to China, Scheidemann happened to be one of the military designers involved in the design of the "Land Mobile Armored Fortress". He was only transferred because of serious conflicts with the chief designer on major design ideas such as whether the tank needed to be equipped with a turret.

Li came to China to become a civilian military attache. Unexpectedly, he could actually find the almost perfect tank design drawings in China, which was lagging behind, and exactly the same as the tank he expected.

Zhang Shusheng's almost original tank design drawings have become a valuable treasure in his eyes. Judging from the few pictures he has seen, compared with the German plan that was still on the designer's desk,

You can start building according to this drawing.

What this means, Scheidemann knows better than anyone.

As long as he has it, he can return to his country in glory and claim that this drawing is the result of his meditation in China. When the time comes, everything he has will come back, including the ridicule of his relatives and friends, and the lost glory of his family.

return.

To hell with those who humiliate themselves, to hell with the British shabby water tank.

He will no longer suffer the scorn of his family, he will not be regarded as the family's waste, he will not become the ridicule of the soldiers, and he can even spurn the dead old designer in person.

"One million marks, this is the highest price I can pay." Scheideman gritted his teeth and calculated the personal assets he could mobilize in the family. It would be bad if there were too many. "You have to know, tanks

Even if you put the drawings in front of the German ambassador to China, he would not know what they are. In the whole of China, I am the only one most likely to buy it. Moreover, I am privately funded. Including Germany, there will be no one

A country is willing to pay a high price to buy this blueprint. Because, even in the UK, it is currently top secret."[

Zhang Shusheng smiled and said: "If I don't sell it, you can't buy it, right? Moreover, once your shabby fortress dies, the British water tank will come on stage. After seeing the power of tanks, my tank

Wouldn’t the drawings be easier to sell?”

"You should also consider your own safety. There is an old Chinese saying that it is a crime to hold a jade in your hands." Scheidemann was sweating on his forehead. This Chinese was so extraordinary. He was completely different from other Chinese who were submissive to him.

"Really?" Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly, picked up an iron ashtray next to him, and when he exerted force with his right hand, the whole ashtray deformed. "Don't think of me as a sheep. At worst, I will burn the drawings and take them to the coffin.

Think of it as being buried with yourself."

"Okay. I'll admit that you won. Just tell me a price." Schidemann was at a loss and just wanted to hear the other party's offer first.

"Two million marks, I will keep it a secret for you. However, you must also provide me with a complete set of Mauser rifle production equipment. I don't care whether you steal it, rob it or smuggle it. Without this thing, there is no need to discuss anything. Moreover,

Remember, don't try to fool me with the old one." Zhang Shusheng said coldly.

The price may seem high, but it is actually very cheap. If it is sold to the countries in the European War a year later, the price of this entry-level tank drawing will at least be doubled several times. Fundamentally speaking, the sale at this time is related to the German country.

Tank design drawings on strategic issues should be something of value. It's just that Zhang Shusheng made a time lag, and it also allowed Scheidemann to slightly change history.

Moreover, Zhang Shusheng is most satisfied with private transactions. The technology this time can be said to be left by foreign teachers, but it cannot withstand the in-depth study of state forces.

"Okay, no problem!" To Zhang Shusheng's expectation, Schideman agreed easily. "There happen to be two large arsenals in the family. As long as you give me the complete drawings, my mother will not blame me for taking them apart.

For the production line of the backup workshop.”

This guy's family arsenal actually has a Mauser gun production line. It is probably because of the war that the Mauser company has temporarily relaxed some restrictions.

Zhang Shusheng cursed in his heart, Damn, that's okay, he turned out to be a prodigal, dismantling the spare equipment in his family's factory in exchange for his own reputation and future. But, it doesn't matter.

"Deal! Three months later, the deal is here. You ship what I want from Germany, and I will give you perfect drawings. Of course, for the sake of fairness, we need a middleman. Once you go back on your word, he will ruin your reputation. At the same time,

We will also send the drawings to other countries for free."

Zhang Shusheng is ready. In troubled times, life is cheap, so he has to be careful.

"No problem." Scheidemann wanted to die. This Chinese Zhang was too cunning, but he still had to have it. This drawing would allow him and his family to talk to each other again in the German military circles.

The most important weight. "But I have a request. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

After receiving a deposit of 100,000 marks and seeing off the future upstart in the German military design world who had regained his confidence, Zhang Shusheng received the old Jewish man.

"Do you want to buy gas mask production drawings?" Zhang Shusheng asked strangely, what does an old Jewish man need this thing for.

"That's right." The old Jewish man's name was Gruni, and he was a shrewd Jewish businessman. "Please give me a price. I don't think you will charge a lot for an ordinary gas mask drawing. You have to know that it is different from a tank drawing."

"I didn't expect you to be able to see the huge power of tanks. Then you must know the purpose of gas masks." Zhang Shusheng's mind suddenly changed. The old Jewish man, as a person of later generations, first thought of the unlucky Jews in Germany.

Although it is still early, this old man can see the huge role of tanks and the business opportunities of gas masks. He is definitely not an ordinary person. "Unfortunately, your Germany seems to have already produced gas masks."

"Since it is a commodity, there will always be a market." Gruney said calmly.

Market? Yes, Germany can't sell it, but Britain and France are in urgent need of it. Moreover, at that time, not to mention the production of confidential gas masks in Germany, gas masks were not even distributed in large quantities. This old man knew that it was possible to get some wind.

The specific production method is probably a bit different." Zhang Shusheng thought to himself, it seems that this old man has a lot of energy.

Gruney continued: "How was it?"

Zhang Shusheng admired this crazy old Jewish man, but he had a different idea, "I heard people say that Jews are very smart in business. If the gas war attracts the attention of the British and French leaders, the gas masks will

It will have strategic significance. And as long as it is applied properly, it is also possible to achieve certain political goals."

"Huh?" Gruni's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect this young man to see the problem so thoroughly, so he had to say: "Zhang, you win." Gruni knew in his heart that it was not because of the high technological content of this thing, but because it was

Because I am in short supply of it. This time I came to China to find one of the largest rubber suppliers in Southeast Asia. The trial production of gas masks had always failed, but unexpectedly, I encountered a turning point in China.[

Zhang Shusheng was not polite. He waved his hand and picked up the gas mask drawings: "One million marks, and also provide me with a 3,000-ton hydraulic press."

"Okay, Zhang, you are good at business!" The old Jewish man gritted his teeth and agreed. If it weren't for time, he would not have made such a seemingly disadvantageous decision. "I think we will become best friends.

.”

He also received a deposit of 100,000 marks, and after leaving contact information, Zhang Shusheng sent away this shrewd old Jewish guy with mysterious origins.

With money, anything can be done easily. The next day, Zhang Shusheng asked Kenneth to notify other businessmen to come to Haozai Lai Inn, throw out 150,000 marks, and said with great arrogance: "You just bring the things to me, here is
