Through exchanges, China and Germany both got what they wanted, and Wang Yuze and Lucas also had smiles on their faces. Germany is much stronger than China in terms of industrial strength. Therefore, China wants to go from Germany to Germany.
There are still many things to get. However, the weapons equipped by the Chinese team shine on the battlefield, making Germany very excited, which allows China to exchange technology with Germany.
From the beginning to the light machine guns of the mortars, China has obtained a lot of new technologies from Germany through these equipment, and both sides have achieved a win-win situation. Of course, other countries have suffered a lot in the war.
These weapons have also begun to be developed. With the technical background of various countries, it is not a problem to develop these weapons. China and Germany are just taking the lead.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, invite you to visit Germany at the right time next year to hold in-depth talks on certain issues related to our two countries!" said Lucas, the German Ambassador to China. Obviously, the German Emperor William was the one who was in charge of the German republic.
The II and the German government also realized the problems that arose between China and Germany, and also wanted to actively solve these problems.
"Please tell His Majesty William II that I will take time to visit Germany next year!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. The reason why Germany supported western Sichuan and later China was to create a strong country in the east of the world.
It can challenge the UK to reduce the pressure on Germany. But now it seems that China's development speed is too fast. Until now, it is no longer weaker than Germany. This is not what Germany wants to see. They hope that China can do it
Britain launched a challenge, but did not want China to threaten Germany, and finally took the stone to hit itself. Germany did not expect that once China develops rapidly, it would be so powerful.
"Okay, I will negotiate with your country's Foreign Ministry for the specific time!" Lucas said.
Wang Yuze nodded. Next year, something big will happen. Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, a powerful woman who ruled Britain for 64 years, will die at the beginning of next year. At that time, Britain will issue a request to all major powers to participate in Queen Victoria.
The funeral and the new king Edward VII's ascension ceremony. In Wang Yuze's memory, Britain invited all the powerful European countries, but this time China has risen and defeated Britain. Then, China should belong to the world
It is a strong country. I just don’t know if Britain will ask China for it. He also wants to take this opportunity to make China’s battle cruiser debut in a high-profile manner!
"Your Majesty, from our private friendship, I am very reluctant to see conflicts between China and Germany. The whole world is under the rule of the old colonial system, and we Germany and China, these newly emerging ones
If a strong country wants to develop, it must unite and break the old system. Therefore, Germany and China have always been natural allies. Although we have not signed an alliance treaty, Britain has joined forces for future interests.
We should develop together, rather than gradually moving towards confrontation!” Lucas said.
"Uncle Lucas, I never thought of confronting Germany. I have always regarded Germany as China's most determined ally. Although China achieved the war last year, it has grown a lot. However, China's
The foundation is very weak, and it will take a long time for us to develop. It will not pose a threat to Germany at all. Even if there will be conflicts of interests in the future, it will at least have to wait until the old system is broken.
!” Wang Yuze also said sincerely.
"Your Majesty really thinks so, then I'm relieved. The Chinese government has proposed a plan to invest and develop various minerals in China, such as tungsten ore, etc. Germany has funds and technology, and
China has resources. If we cooperate, it will be beneficial but not harmful!" Lucas said simply. To be honest, even he is a little jealous of China. Although Germany is one of the world's top powers, it is still in China.
The resources are not abundant, except for the coal in the Ruhr area, the rest of the resources are very poor. Otherwise, after the Franco-Prussian War, Germany would not have forcibly occupied Alsace and Lorraine in France. And China, it was
The land is vast and the resources are abundant. This war has more than doubled the territory. Although most areas belong to deserts or wastelands, the wealth of the Nanyang region is envied by all countries.
Wang Yuze hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He himself was very reluctant to let foreign capital enter the domestic mineral industry, which was directly related to the lifeblood of the empire. However, as Lucas said, Germany has funds and technology.
These are all things that China lacks. Letting the Germans exploit it will certainly harm China's interests, but China can also take this opportunity to gain development, the technology it wants, etc. There is another reason, that
It is Wang Yuze who wants to give blood to Germany. Once the world war breaks out, Germany will face a very difficult situation with the power of one country to compete with other European powers. If Germany can grow stronger, the various materials it reserves will be more abundant, and in the end, Britain, France and other countries
It will not be so easy to defeat Germany. At that time, China will have enough time to kill the United States first, then defeat Britain and France, and divide the world with Germany. Of course, when the world's main powers are only Germany and China.
, the final war will inevitably break out between the two countries. Let Germany consume as much strength as possible in the war, which is something China is very happy to see.
There will never be real friends between countries, only real interests. There is currently no direct conflict of interest between China and Germany, so the two countries can work together to develop. But if the interests of the two countries conflict, it may be used.
It's time to resolve disputes by means of war.
In December 1900, the first ship of the Chinese Navy's "Bai Qi-class" battlecruiser, the Bai Qi, was officially put into service. However, this battlecruiser is still in a highly confidential state. The dock is also
The secret naval pier is surrounded by military restricted areas within ten kilometers, and other countries will not find the existence of the battlecruiser "Bai Qi".
At the same time, the division of the Chinese Navy finally came to an end. The old "Sichuan-class" battleships and "Plateau-class" battleships, as well as the captured "Hawaii" battleships, have all been retired. They will be trained by the Naval Academy as a training course.
The division of naval warships is mainly four "Chinese-class" battleships, the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet, two each. Among them, the "Chinese" battleship and the "Yanhuang" battleship belong to the Pacific Fleet and the "Huaxia"
The battleships and the "Shenzhou" battleship belong to the Indian Ocean Fleet. The four "Qin-class" battleships are also two of the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. Among them, the "Qin II" battleships and the "Qin III" battleships belong to the Pacific Fleet.'
The battleship of Qin Shihuang and the battleship of Prince Fusu belong to the Indian Ocean Fleet. The local fleet will not have new battleships before the "Han-class" battleships are put into service. However, there are the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet as barriers between the east and west sides.
The pressure faced by the local fleet is much smaller. After all the "Baiqi-class" battlecruisers are in service, the "Baiqi" battlecruisers and the "Meng Tian" battlecruisers will belong to the local fleet, and the "Wang Jian" will be the "Wang Jian"
The battlecruiser and the "Wang Ben" battlecruiser will belong to the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet respectively. After the "Han-class" battleships are in service, the four will belong to the local fleet, and the other two will belong to the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet.
The remaining heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers are distributed equally.
Time passed slowly, and 1901 had arrived as everyone expected. China's economy has developed rapidly in the past year. With the support of a large amount of war reparations and government investment, the economic growth rate reached two percent.
More than ten. In terms of the total economic output, China is definitely the world's number one. However, when it comes to per capita, China is much worse in this regard. The fiscal revenue soared to 1.3 billion Huayuan, and during the same period
, the UK is 140 million pounds, France is 3.8 billion francs, about 150 million pounds, Germany is 1.8 billion marks, equivalent to 90 million pounds, and the US is 400 million US dollars, equivalent to 80 million pounds.
China's fiscal revenue seems to be the world's number one, but China no longer has a colony and is all counted as the territory of the empire. Britain and France have the largest colony in the world, and the wealth obtained by the British government from the colony every year
, it is much more than their fiscal revenue. In India alone, Britain can plunder tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of pounds of wealth from India every year. Britain is like a parasite, constantly absorbing nutrients from its colonies and developing
Although it has caused poverty in the colonies, it has made Britain the world hegemon. It will take a lot of time for China to catch up with Britain.
Of course, Britain is still trapped in the war quagmire of the Boers in South Africa. Although it has huge national strength as support, Britain has slowly reversed its decline. However, it may take some time to defeat the Boers.
It also gives China the opportunity to accelerate its development and catch up with the UK!
On January 22, 1901, a major event broke out that shocked the whole world. Victoria, the queen who ruled Britain for 64 years, developed Britain into a great monarch who was the hegemon of the world and died of illness.
