"Look, look! You guys say that you are doing your country and the people? The oil field shares worth hundreds of millions were sold for 50 million. This is a stolen country! I'm afraid he will be fed by him." In the Democratic Party office in Port Batavia, Hu Hanmin threw the newly published newspaper on the table.

After Yang Qiu and Guoshe rose, the domestic Democratic Party forces were almost at a disaster, and Long Jiguang even broke the Guangzhou, the base camp of the Democratic Party, and finally led the wolf into the house and was led by Cai Jimin to provide a guarantee. So he and Chen Jiongming, Bai Wenmo and others had to travel far to Nanyang to live in Batavia. Later, Chen Qimei was imprisoned, and Huang Fu and other important members of the Shanghai Democratic Party also came to meet one after another.

If they couldn't go back home, they could only focus all their energy on Nanyang. In addition, Yang Qiu had to concentrate on solving domestic and Japanese troubles in the early days, but later he participated in the European war and really didn't care about this, but they developed here with great success. But such good days were gradually gone. As Guoshe took the lead in going abroad, the vanguard led by Chen Guofu quickly promoted Guoshe to the Chinese in Nanyang. The silver crisis and the Sumatra oil fields were both signs of the influx of Guoshe and domestic capital into Nanyang, making them particularly worried that the territory would be eroded in the end.

Hu Hanmin was the most excited, thinking that he was Sun Yixian's successor back then, and he was just a little bit inferior to the presidential throne, and now there is no hope. So he has always been particularly hated by Yang Qiu and the National Society, saying: "We should contact Shanghai and let Zhang Shizhao and Wang Zhaoming mobilize the Congress to ask clearly!" He relied on his qualifications, so he was not afraid that Zhang Shizhao, the current chairman of the Democratic Party, and Wang Zhaoming, the Secretary of General Affairs, would take it seriously and call him first.

He continued to angrily: "There is also Li Liejun. I don't know what the hell is going on! He was bribed after he was signed as a major general and was absent from the congress for seven consecutive years. Is this still our party member? He should remove his identity as a member. Yingbai, are you right?"

After Hu Hanmin finished speaking, he turned to see Huang Fu. This former commander of the Shanghai Army, who was once very prosperous, lost power after leaving the military. Now he still makes some money by relying on the gangs to manage coolies in Nanyang. It is really different from before, so his heart is quite empty. He echoed: "Zhantang said it well. This is an opportunity to attack Yang Qiu, and he cannot be spared for nothing."

The two of them sang and Dayou immediately pulled Yang Qiu off the horse. But Chen Jiongming and Bai Wenmo, who were sitting in the corner, did not say a word. In the end, the former simply patted their butts: "You guys chat, I'll go back first. The navy has been parading outside the port these days, so I'll see if the boat is back."

"Yes, yes, yes, you guys talk. Guangzhou also urged me to transport the rubber back. The telegrams this day were really annoying." As soon as Chen Jiongming left, Bai Wenmo was unwilling to keep it, so he simply left on the excuse of something.

Seeing the two left one after another, Hu Hanmin was so angry that he cursed: "Bah! What do you think it is the governor? Yingbai, look at these people. Do you still have the same appearance as they were back then? Do you have to follow Sun Yixian and take a Japanese bitch to hide in Hawaii as a turtle?"

The more he said he became more and more unpleasant, Huang Yun quickly grabbed him and sighed: "Forget Zhantang, Jingcun and Liewu also wanted to be peaceful. It was not easy for them to do shipping and the other to do rubber. If it weren't for their funding in recent years, it would be hard to say whether we could gain a foothold."

"Isn't it just a little money! Yang Qiu waved his hand and sold hundreds of millions at a low price. Can't we even say it? Is this still a republic? I see that Zhang Taiyan and Wang Zhaoming are more cowardly, and they can't even get a few more seats in Congress for so many years. If the Yingshi and the fisherman are still there, how could we fall to the point where there is a national crisis!"

Hu Hanmin was so angry that he picked up the newspaper on the table and threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times. This childish temper made Huang Hui sneer secretly. With this kind of demeanor, he still dreamed of being the chairman of the Democratic Party to defeat Yang Qiu? Isn't this a joke? So he changed the topic and said, "By the way, when it comes to Brother Yingshi, I almost forgot the big thing. In another three months, Brother Yingshi will be released from prison. I heard that he was even a leg discounted in prison. Alas, it was finally a brother. Let's go back to Shanghai to pick him up."

Sun Yixian lived in Hawaii, Huang Keqiang and Song Jiaoren died, Tan Renfeng and Ju Zheng both became the residence hall, Li Liejun did not care, Zhang Taiyan and Wang Zhaoming were regarded as incompetent by him, but Liao Zhongqiu, who served as Minister of Water Resources, suddenly became the new banner of the Democratic Party, which made Hu Hanmin particularly angry. But he knew that he was alone, so Chen Qimei still had to hold on to this big tree. No matter what, his nephew Chen Guofu was the secretary of the National Society, and Chen Lifu was also the director of the Public Study Abroad Office in the Education Department, and he still had some power in his hands, so he nodded and agreed.

After chatting about what to do if Chen Qimei was released from prison, they packed their own things and prepared to go home. But as soon as they walked to the door, they saw two foreigners coming over. One of them was thin and had two beards. Another man with a split hair and a slightly crooked nose followed. When the foreigner saw the two, he beard bent bowed and bowed and introduced himself: "Please allow me to introduce him. Marin, a Dutch. This is Comrade Vycinsky and a Soviet."

If the Dutch were not surprised, then the two words "Soviets and Comrades" made Hu Hanmin and Huang Hui stunned, and they saw the surprise in each other's eyes when they looked at each other. This matter between China and Russia has long been a hot topic. Yang Qiu had often brought Russia to death. Even though Russia became Soviet Russia, their forbidden zones east of the Yenisei River are still their forbidden zones, and only the Japanese have drawn some power circles near the Sea of ​​Okhotsk.

The two were thinking about dealing with Yang Qiu, but Malin and Vikingsky suddenly appeared... What does this mean? Hu Hanmin thought for a long time and finally slowly stretched out his hand: "Welcome to you, I wonder what it is important to come to Batavia?"

"We hope that both of you can help and buy some food from the Chinese." Vycinsky crossed Marin, and after he expressed his intentions, he aimed at the latter, and continued: "We urgently need the help of friends all over the world."

"Friend..." Hu Hanmin chewed these two words and invited the two indoors.

Marin and Vikingsky suddenly visited Hu Hanmin and the Batavia branch of the Democratic Party, adding a little weirdness to the Nanyang area, which had begun to become chaotic due to the influx of state and society and the Republic of China.

But Yang Qiu was not in charge of the subtle changes over the Southeast Asian Sea. He was looking for the last industrial puzzle in Germany to continue to promote the policy of flew first.

The day after arriving in Berlin, news of the famous beer can riot came. The police and army on the streets and alleys made Germany more turbulent in suffering. Due to the beer can riot, President Hindenburg had to postpone the reception of Yang Qiu, and the accompanying **************** was even more arrogant and did not dare to leave. Not only did he book the entire floor of the hotel, but he also set up a large number of secret sentries to ensure that everything was foolproof.

Standing at the window, looking at the military vehicles loaded with soldiers passing by, Yang Qiu had the urge to go to Munich immediately to take a look. But he knew that this was a delusion, and his identity was different now. Even if he wanted to do so, the guard regiment would not let him go to the most chaotic place in Germany now. But on the other hand, there was no need to say much about the beer can riot, not to mention that he had no good impression of the Nazis. However, this incident also reminded him that time was getting closer and closer! This incident was both a loss and a help to the Nazis. Due to the arrest of a large number of Nazis afterwards, and the involvement of Rudendolf, he was exaggerated by the newspaper. Hitler and the Nazi Party also became famous in one fell swoop and officially announced that Hitler had entered the public eye!

Because the riot guards did not allow him to leave the hotel, he could only pick up the book to spend time. After turning two pages, the knock on the door rang. The beautiful secretary Yan Yuqiu walked into the room with Wang Zhengting who came from France. What surprised him slightly was that in addition to Wang Zhengting, there was an old man with gray hair and tired expression behind him, wearing glasses.

"His Excellency Traun!"

After seeing the old man clearly, Yang Qiu suddenly got up. After not seeing him for 9 years, Traun's changes were too great. Not only did he look much older and put on glasses. Moreover, his temperament as an ambassador to China disappeared. The white corners of his clothes mean that he has been very unsatisfied over the years.

Traun was also very happy to see Yang Qiu again. Although the two had many festivals, Yang Qiu did take good care of him when he was in China, especially after the outbreak of the European War, the diplomats traveling to China were sent to the United States. Many people went to South America, and he ventured back to Germany on American cargo ships. But what he didn't expect was that China then joined the war and joined the British and French side. Therefore, his former minister to China was contempt and gradually excluded by his colleagues and had to resign officially at the end of 2017. However, due to the defeat of Germany's domestic turmoil, he could only rely on savings to survive over the years. If Wang Zhengting had not come to find him, perhaps in a while, he would have gone to the United States like most middle-class German families to look for opportunities.

"His Excellency Traun, are you... fine in these years?"

Faced with Yang Qiu's care, Traun pushed his glasses freely and looked at the beautiful Yan Yuqiu and smiled: "It must be not as good as you."

"hehe........"

Yan Yuqiu didn't understand German, but the woman's intuition made her feel that Traun was making fun of Yang Qiu with her, and her cheeks closed and retreated. Wang Zhengting also chose German in France. Yang Qiu himself was good at German, so the three of them could have fluent conversations without translating.

In fact, the Trauns were good. Although they made some small profits when they were in China, they were much more cautious than those British people who were swaying their nostrils. The exchange of silencing pipes, fleet delivery, persuading Qingdao fortresses to surrender, etc. not only helped Yang Qiu, but also helped Germany get the technology they needed. In particular, silencing and silencing pipe technology helped a lot. The infection and mortality rate of German wounded soldiers was 30% lower than in history, and the number of submarines sunk merchant ships was 1.4 times that of parallel worlds! But Germany's enemies were too strong, especially the United States secretly funded, which amplified the problem of insufficient resources and narrow depth of Germany a hundred times. In the end, due to internal and external troubles, they had to sign the shameful Paris Peace Treaty.

This is also the reason why Yang Qiu resisted the Third Reich. Unless the United States does not participate in the war, it will be difficult for China and Germany to join hands. After all, the Soviet Union is too deep, and Britain and the United States can calmly support it after Germany lacks a navy. In history, the United States only exerted half of its national strength during World War II. It would be terrible to really break out and support the Soviet Union against China and Germany. Moreover, as long as Stalin cut off the railway to Ural, the supply and consumption of thousands of kilometers of cold areas would be enough to consume millions of troops. Japan could not stop the US Navy, and in the end it lacked overseas bases. Perhaps manufacturing can match Germany and the United States, but China, which is stronger than the United States, took action by itself. However, the landing distance is far from a long route, and the final result is mutual consumption. Even if it is a victory, it will be extremely sacrificed, not to mention that the probability of victory is very small.

The first choice of a good strategist is to use the minimum price to obtain the maximum profit you can get after paying. There is no way to gambling in the European war, and there will be no chance if you don’t gamble. However, due to the rise of China in the next World War, the situation will be unclear, so he must not use the lives of tens of millions of young people to gamble.

Traun has also paid close attention to Yang Qiu and China over the years. Especially China and Russia, China and Japan, and the recent Sumatra oilfield crisis have all shown that China is struggling and clashing with the leadership of Yang Qiu to try to establish its national status. Such a road is difficult to go, and Germany chose the war but failed. Moreover, he believes that China will eventually need a great war to finally lay down everything.

Both sides were tacitly aware of it, and both avoided sensitive topics and talked about their experiences. Even Wang Zhengting looked at Traun's white neckline after washing it many times and was secretly admired. Because he was too devoted, it became dark before he knew it. It was not until Yan Yuqiu asked the three of them to have dinner that he suddenly realized it was already very late.

The delicacy that had not been enjoyed for a long time did not touch Traun. He picked up the wine glass and drank it and asked, "Yang. Why are you here in Germany? Now is not a good time to visit."

"Guess?" Yang Qiu asked intentionally.

Traun put down his wine glass and narrowed his eyes. He was also surprised by Yang Qiu's sudden visit. To be honest, Germany is no longer valuable now. Advanced equipment was emptied by Britain and France, and exported goods require an extra 35% tariff, so no country is willing to spend this money to buy German goods in vain. Internal turmoil and confusing ideas. Even if senior technicians and engineers want to immigrate, they will definitely choose the United States rather than China, so there is only a group of workers left in the country who are bitter and no one wants.

Since Germany has become so ruined, what else can attract this person? Could it be that he suddenly remembered several loans to China when he was in office, and then recalled Mark, who had depreciated violently, and his mouth twitched a few times. He said unnaturally: "You are here to pay back the money..."

"Ha ha......."

Seeing Traun's mouth twitching, he knew how miserable Germany was during this period. Countries including Japan and South America that had received Japanese loans recently rushed to Germany and took advantage of the opportunity of Mark's depreciation to write off sky-high foreign debts. The most ruthless one was Argentina, who owed Germany about 60 million mark loans before the war. At the end of August, taking advantage of Mark's depreciation to spend only $600 to buy Mark's worth less than straw paper from the market, and returned all the debts.

That's why he thought that Yang Qiu was here to pay off his debts.

Currently, China still owes Germany about 80 million marks, and the pre-war price comparison is about 20 million US dollars. However, as the Ruhr crisis deepens and the unemployment rate remains high, Mark quickly fell from the original 1 dollar to 4.2 mark to 1 dollar to 1 million mark! Recently, it has fallen to the bizarre joke stage of 1 dollar to 4.2 trillion marks! This means that when you go to buy a black bread, you need to push 1 trillion marks with a trolley to buy it, and it also means that Yang Qiu can pay off all his debts as long as he takes out 1 dollar...

After laughing, Yang Qiu nodded: "I came to pay back the money, but not $1, $5 million!"

"What? $5 million!"

This number made Traun stand up suddenly, as if he saw a monster. What a good opportunity, because the Mark loan agreement was signed, which stipulated that all the marks were calculated using the Mark currency value, so China could use USD 1 to exchange 4.2 trillion marks from the market at one time for return, and the German government had to find money...

But now Yang Qiu is actually preparing to pay back $5 million! He, is he crazy?

Yang Qiu was not crazy. He also knew that this was a good opportunity to lose his debts, but he had more important things to do than debts. He said: "You can rest assured that I am here to pay back the money. The 5 million US dollar Swiss bank check can be signed and used at any time."

In the past, if $15 million was deducted, William II would directly order the fleet to go to the Far East to grab it back, but now Traun and the German government are even very excited. After all, for Germany at this moment, 5 million is a very huge foreign exchange income, which can help hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers. But he also knew that Yang Qiu would never do a loss-making business. Even if the Chinese government obtains billions of dollars in the European war, it would not waste millions in vain, so he asked seriously: "So what do you want?"

Yang Qiu waved to Yan Yuqiu and put a thick stack of US dollars in cash at Traun before saying: "His Excellency Traun, I need some workers, skilled senior workers. I can provide them with a salary of US$8 a week, only 50 hours of work, and I can arrange for their families to live temporarily in China, and the round-trip transportation will be solved by me."

Traun understood instantly and frowned: "I want President Hindenburg to promise you to recruit technicians and workers in Germany publicly?"

Yang Qiu nodded and the idea of ​​continuing to recruit German technicians and workers was born in the process of building the Taiwan Island-class heavy cruiser. Although there have been tens of thousands of German, Russian and Austrian technicians working in China over the years, and the Rhineland plans to come to the forefront, the technician problem is still very serious.

The simplest example. A large number of hydropower stations are being built in China, and battleships are about to begin to be built, but large-scale turbines and complex marine crankshafts are still unable to be built by themselves, and all need to be purchased from outside! In fact, the design information included in the Rhineland plan. Zhang Wenjing bought several sets of equipment when he visited Europe, but the workers were unable to convert the equipment and drawings into physical objects immediately. Everyone also thought of ways to teach Teachers of Foreign Affairs step by step, but the production capacity and quality are very poor! There is currently no CNC machine tool that can improve efficiency. The crankshafts and turbine rotors of dozens of tons have to be cut and milled out little by little by little by little! According to Zheng Tingxiang, just maintaining a crankshaft production line and a turbine factory requires at least 4,000 senior technicians.

Ordinary technical workers can already be trained by themselves, but senior technicians are not simple. This requires a lot of knowledge of science and engineering, and popularization of education, etc. is something that cannot be rushed. However, national construction cannot be afforded, especially after the European War, exports to foreign countries are basically stable, tea, raw silk, tung oil and tobacco leaves, etc. are still major commodities, with low added value, resulting in increasingly tight foreign exchange in the country. Therefore, the construction of 12 cruisers alone cost tens of millions of dollars to purchase crankshafts from France and Italy. This money is too unfair! Therefore, Zheng Tingxiang and the Ministry of Industry suggested that a group of technicians should be introduced from Germany and Austria and other countries, and these extremely important high-end manufacturing industries should be changed from the current "Chinese workers are the main coaching of foreign workers" to "Chinese workers are the main coaching of foreign workers". First, solve the urgent needs of domestic construction, and then use the foreign master to lead apprentices to take a group of people step by step in four to five years, and then replace the foreign workers on the production line with Chinese workers little by little, and gradually solve them.

According to this idea, at least 30,000 to 50,000 senior technicians are needed in China. Although the number is scary, in fact, there are not many senior technicians in Europe and the United States, and there are nearly one million in Germany. So after learning that the Mark crisis occurred, Yang Qiu moved his mind to Germany again.

But China is not the United States. Rampantly coming to Germany to attract people may cause disgust and is not conducive to China-EU relations, so we simply use the money to pave the way for high-level routes.

After Yang Qiu explained, he took out a stack of dollars: "I'll help you with some help. You can rest assured that I will ensure that the technicians will be safe and live in China, and will also issue special work visas. If President Hindenburg is not at ease... please allow me to recruit from Jewish people."

Jewish? That's OK. Traun doesn't like Jews either, and the whole world doesn't like it. If the senior technicians among them are stuffed into China, it can also solve the problem of unemployment in Germany, so he agreed: "I will try it as much as possible and give you news as soon as possible."

"Thanks."
