President Meng stretched out a little chubby paw and shook it, the meaning was very clear, the purchase order of no less than 5 billion francs would directly help France quickly get out of the shadow of the Franco-Prussian War and return to the position of competing with Britain for hegemony.Speaker Jul Armand Stanislas Dufer nodded and said: "What does Mr.
Yue Meng mean, can you talk about it specifically, do you want us to help you build a factory, what requirements do you want to meet for the product?"
President Meng smiled: "In terms of military, I want to have a production line that can surpass the Mauser 1871 rifle and reach the same level as the Krupp cannon, and have my own dock, which can build a 5,000-ton warship."
As for the civilian industry, I want to be able to reach the current level of French industry.I am in the East, far from you, and will not pose a threat to France In addition, my colony is small.If this cooperation is negotiated, I can assure you that it will be more than a billion francs. ”French President Thiers and Speaker Jules Armand Stanislas Duvre fell into deep thought, this is indeed too tempting, but this matter is also too big, it is difficult for them to refuse directly, but it is about the direction of France.After a quiet exchange of views between French President Thiers and Speaker Jules Armand Stanislas Duvre, Thiers said: "Mr.
Yuemeng, we are very interested in the cooperation you mentioned, you are a very peculiar person, I am very happy to be able to deal with people like you, but this matter needs to be discussed by the parliament, and the details of the contract between them also hope that a draft can be reached before discussing it with the parliament." ”President Meng smiled: "Of course, there is no problem" French President Thiers continued: "But the time for the completion of the contract can never be ten years, you know, the industry in Europe has been developing for more than 200 years, to within ten years, there will be nothing in a place, to reach the current level of French industry, how is this possible I think, this contract, should be extended to twenty years, I can assure Mr.
Yue Meng that by 1892, our French government will definitely make the industrial manufacturing level of the Kingdom of Eastern Hawaii, How about reaching the level of our France in 1872," President Meng laughed, "However, I want your full set of equipment, industrial technology, this can be learned slowly, ten or twenty years, this is your business, you want to protect your own technology, I can understand, but, equipment and metallurgical technology, this is what I need now, this is the foundation, you must ensure that I have my own steel mill within a year, I want my kingdom, full of railways, this must be written into the contract." ”Speaker Jules Armand Stanislas Duvre and French President Thiers have been discussing for a longer time this time, and Speaker Jules Armand Stanislas Duvre frowned and said: "Mr.
Yuemeng, this is okay, but our French enterprises that are put into production in the form of orders in your Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom must be operated independently by our French government before the contract expires, and foreigners are not allowed to interfere, including your people" These two people know very well that it is necessary to quickly solve the current economic crisis in France, The problem of massive unemployment of workers must be addressed.President Meng smiled: "This is okay, but we don't interfere, but you have to use our workers, otherwise, you can't provide tens of thousands of laborers from France to Asia" Jules Armand Stanislas Duvre Speaker and French President Thiers discussed urgently, this meal was too long, as the topic continued to deepen, the two of them felt that Xuan Yuemeng was not joking, although this was an informal meeting, but the impact was great.President Meng knew that this was a key point of contention between the two sides, the French wanted to solve the problem of unemployment, and he wanted to strive to train more of his own industrial workers, and President Meng did not want too many foreigners in Danzhou.Several government officials accompanying Thiers and Jules Armand Stanislas Duvre were also discussing in private, and Xuan Yuemeng's style was indeed somewhat straightforward.Such a big thing, I actually started to talk about it in detail the first time we met.French President Thiers said: "Mr.
Yue Meng, after you cooperate with our French government, you are not allowed to cooperate with other countries" President Meng smiled: "Yes, then, you have to ensure that my industrial technology level catches up with the current industrial level of France within five years If you can't do this, how can you ask us to do it" French President Thiers sighed and said with a smile: "Mr.
Yue Meng, it's an honor to meet you, you are really a prodigy, and the rumors from the outside world are not wrong This can be canceled, but, I think you know, even if you find other countries to cooperate, you are only spending money in vain, in the whole world, our French industry is the first-class, each of our enterprises put into production in Danzhou, allowing 30% of the workers of the East Hawaiian Kingdom, how about it" President Meng shook his head and said: "It must be 50 percent, otherwise, it will bring emotional damage to my people, they will think that these enterprises belong to France, not to the East Hawaiian Kingdom, you know, You are a profitable business, I want to buy both your equipment and your products" Speaker Jules Armand Stennis Las Duvre and French President Thiers discussed again, French President Thiers smiled and said: "Okay, Mr.
Yuemeng, I can preliminarily promise you, but this is only a preliminary intention, and it still needs the approval of the parliament" French President Thiers whispered to Speaker Jules Armand Stennis Las Duvre: "This Chinese child is too rude" Speaker Jules Armand Stennis Las Duvre responded in a soft whisper: "Orientals are like this, they have not yet been civilized into money, we should agree, and, in less than ten years, when the time comes, let a strong French fleet go and grab this colony, just right, become a strategic fortress for us in the East" French President Thiers smiled slightly, and said softly: "Yes, old man, you are the same as I think again" Jules Armand Stennis Les Duvre Speaker smiled: "Don't worry, He can't learn anything, even if he invests in building a factory in his colony, our engineers are not fools, they know how to keep it secret, not to mention half of the workers, even if it is 90% of his workers, to the core technology is confidential, and industrial technology is not a child's game, not to be able to watch it if you follow it, a lot of principled things, you must lay a good foundation in school" President Meng saw that the two people had been muttering in front of him, of course he guessed what the two people were thinking, in fact, before coming to Europe, He has already thought about this problem, there is American equipment and a group of technicians to lay the foundation, he is not afraid of technical secrecy, but it is true that his own workers should be trained as soon as possible, President Meng believes in the intelligence of the Chinese.French President Thiers smiled at President Meng, raised the whiskey in his hand, and said: "Okay, it's preliminary, starting tomorrow, enter the formal draft talks, and after that, I will let people submit it to the parliament for discussion as soon as possible" President Meng smiled, raised his small cup, took a sip of milk and said: "Okay" Left the banquet hall of the speaker, President Meng was sullen, this is not the result he wants, however, he found that he really has no better way In fact, he is very uneconomical to do this, Spending such a large amount of money, it can only take twenty years to catch up with the current French industrial capacity, and twenty years later, that is, in 1892, his Danzhou is still only at the level of the French in 1872 Of course, after there are many prototype factories, the construction of the entire basic industry will be much faster, and there will be many unnecessary detours, so that it will not reach the level of 1892 or 1872, but according to this catch-up speed, by 1892, it can reach the level of 1880, It's been a great twenty years, and it should be possible to get basic industry, military industry, and civilian industry, but the high-end technology is not as good as others, but twenty years of time is enough to reserve talents, but this speed is not the ideal speed of President Meng.Princess Katrina Kafu saw that President Meng was sullen, held his hand, and asked softly: "Is it too expensive" President Meng smiled bitterly, "It's more than twice as expensive and, it's not clear whether it can meet the requirements, this is how we spend money to buy technology."
It's us begging for others, it's a last resort, and if you want to interest the tiger, you have to have a very fat piece of meat. ”Princess Katrina Kaaf sighed and said, "These people seem to look down on us, and they are very rude. ”President Meng didn't take this to heart, you are backward, how can people be polite to you, and you have to rely on yourself to fight for face.Rob Cles Chief of the General Staff interjected: "Mr.
President, I have looked at the European guns of the same period, and only the 1871 Mauser is the most suitable for our large-scale equipment.This gun was invented in 1866 by Peter Paul Mauser, a famous German firearms design expert, and was officially adopted by the German army in 1871.The bolt rotating locking mechanism is adopted, and the locking burst is located at the nose part.When locking, the protrusion tenon is supported in the locking at the front end of the knot, which is symmetrical and evenly stressed.Due to its stable and reliable locking and firing mechanism, it has been widely used in modern rifles., gun length 1292, barrel length 852, gun weight 454kg, firing range 3001600 yards., the gun weighs 32kg, the firing range is 2001100 yards. ”t1706231537:
