Chapter 228: The Great War, Good Business (Part I)


Keep asking for votes s: The description of the uranium ore in the previous chapter was wrong.

Based on the average grade of the uranium ore obtained by Mr.

Wen, 100 tons of uranium ore can be extracted for every 10,000 tons of uranium ore, including 0.72 tons of weapons-grade uranium-235.

It has been modified, thanks to the readers for pointing it out.

Hanking, Presidential Palace.

"Dear President, what do you think of our country's request?"

German Ambassador to my country Harhausen looked expectant.

Wen Desi put down the teacup and said with a formal smile: "Well, of course there is no problem.

China and Germany have both traditional friendship and in-depth cooperation.

Since German friends need these things, we have the ability." offers, so why don’t we” He paused and said: "However, Britain and France have now blocked the sea lanes and inspected merchant ships very strictly.

If our country sends them directly to your country, it will be very troublesome.

It is best for us to transit through neutral countries such as Sweden and Italy, or from Transport by land, send to Turkey via the Eurasian Railway and then transfer to your country.”

Seeing that Wen Desi agreed, Harhausen was overjoyed and immediately said with a smile: "This is no problem at all, Your Excellency, Your Excellency the President.

We are responsible for the coordination of Italy, Sweden, and Turkey.

Your country only needs to send what we need.

The above neutral countries are sufficient.”

"Then there is no problem.

Let the professionals discuss the remaining details."

After Wen Desi nodded, the remaining contract details and bargaining were naturally handled by professionals.

Whether on the Eastern or Western Front, although the Allies now have the upper hand, the losses are still considerable, especially for Germany, which serves as the main force.

And judging from the current situation, although Germany has beaten France, it has been unable to turn its advantage into victory.

Although Paris was lost, the stubborn Frenchmen still gritted their teeth and held on, desperately blocking the German attack in Versailles.

Now both sides have dug countless trenches and fortifications in the Versailles area, and are also trapped in a war of attrition similar to the original time and space.

In other words, the Germans' "Schlieffen Plan" has been defeated, and a quick victory is no longer possible.

What makes Ertoku better than Japan is that they are not so stubborn.

After seeing that they could not win quickly, their general staff immediately formulated a plan for a war of attrition.

Since it is a war of attrition, supplies and equipment must be hoarded.

Currently, China and the United States are the only two major industrial countries in the world that are not involved in the war.

Naturally, if you want to buy things, you can only buy from them.

As a result, German diplomats and businessmen in China and the United States immediately received the task of making large purchases in China and the United States.

Among them, the procurement task in China is the most important, because China not only has living supplies, but also the weapons and equipment they need.

Judging from the current situation, Er Dezi's situation is much better now than it was in the original time and space.

Although the cock is still holding on and not kneeling, one-third of France has fallen.

Moreover, surrounding countries such as Italy and Türkiye did not participate in the war and had sufficient channels for supplies.

Also, the attitude of the United States is different from that of the original time and space.

In the original time and space of 1934, an investigation by the Congressional Nye Committee established by Republican Senator Gerald Nye showed that the main reason why the United States entered the war in 1917 was controlled by financiers and arms giants.

These people did business almost exclusively with the Allies, and they wanted the Allies to win at all costs so that they could make huge profits.

Due to the large-scale bond sales to finance the European war, the currency circulation in the United States decreased significantly, and the Federal Reserve began to issue a large amount of U.S. dollars.

From 1916 to 1920, the U.S. national debt soared from $1 billion to $25 billion.

All national debts are mortgaged with the future taxes of the middle and lower classes of the United States.

As a result, during World War I, American bankers made a fortune from the war, while the majority of the American people contributed money and effort, sweating and blood for the capitalists.

On the other hand, Britain and the United States are in a stalemate due to the "India Incident".

In addition, several insider consortiums such as the Zentraedi Star Consortium have begun planning a few years ago, causing many American bankers to divert their investments to the Allies. , although it does not have an absolute advantage compared to the investment in the Allied Powers, it has reached the level of 80% of the Allied Powers, which is much higher than the original time and space, and this ratio continues to increase.

The United States is the spokesperson of the consortium, which has caused confusion in the opinions of the upper echelons of the United States.

It is not as one-sided as in the original time and space, and it shows an ambiguous attitude.

For Germany, this attitude of the United States is certainly beneficial.

In addition, the most important point is China’s covert support, especially in intelligence and technical support.

With the "selfless help" of Wen Desi, the biggest "self-made five marks", this is equivalent to cheating Er Dezi.

The biggest "plug-in" is the Asia-Europe Railway, which is about to be fully opened to traffic.

In order to build this intercontinental railway, which the Chinese media calls the "New Silk Road", China has used wartime speed in recent years and spent a lot of money.

A lot of strength.

Relying on precise surveying and mapping methods and millions of free laborers, China started construction in more than 100 areas at the same time, so the progress was extremely fast.

It is expected that the entire line will be open to traffic by September.

In the Sino-German secret treaty the year before last, China agreed to connect this railway with Germany’s failed III-B railway.

Of course, the German side had to adjust the gauge to the Chinese standard 2.5-meter gauge.

Now it runs from Berlin to Austria.

The railway along the Turkish border is also almost open to traffic.

Although it has not yet been fully opened to traffic, supplies can already be sent directly from China to Ankara, Turkey.

When the time comes, Germany will do the transshipment itself.

The current Ottoman Turkish government is originally pro-German.

Now it can make a lot of money by trying to deviate from neutrality.

Why not?

Italy's attitude was also somewhat different from that of the original time and space.

In the original time and space, this wallflower was completely aloof from the incident, and in 1915 he even joined the Allied Powers.

Germany on this plane achieved greater results.

The Allies were held down and beaten by them, and they were beaten to a pulp, including Paris.

So Yi Daili's attitude changed.

Seeing that Er Dezi was so good at fighting, they didn't dare to offend these guys.

Therefore, they did not dare to stop Germany's material borders at all.

Hanking, the headquarters of Xingke Group.

After the completion of Hanking, the headquarters of Xingke Group also moved from Neijiang this month.

Among them, the most important interstellar comprehensive office building base was also relocated last month.

The full name of this thing is "Integral Building for Non-Earth-like Planets", which can move short distances by means of anti-gravity levitation.

It was just that the mobile system was damaged while traveling through time.

After years of repairs, this function was finally restored.

This big ball with a radius of 40 meters took off from Baima, Neijiang, late at night on a rainy day on May 24.

On this starless night, at an altitude of 3,000 meters, it slowly flew to the west of Hanking at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

The mountainous area northeast of the Danjiangkou Reservoir is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains, and slowly descends to a prepared location.

Wen Desi was the most nervous that night.

He didn't relax until the base landed safely at the predetermined location.

Fortunately, there are no satellites these days, otherwise such a big thing would be easily discovered.

Xingke Group's first business after moving was a large order from the State Council. “1.

Food: 3 million boxes of compressed biscuits, 1 million boxes of milk chocolate, 2.75 million boxes of various canned fruits, 5 million boxes of various canned meats 2.

Clothing: 3 million sets of military uniforms, 2 million sets of winter coats, and military boots 3 million pairs, 2 million pairs of rubber shoes.

Pharmaceuticals: 5,000 tons of compound berberine, 5,000 tons of sulfonamides, this is too exaggerated.”

Before Li Siya could finish reading the order, she shouted to Zhang Lizheng in a gaffe: "General Manager, oh, no, Premier Zhang, with such a large quantity and only three months' delivery time, how can we afford Russia's order?

We haven't finished yet."

Woolen cloth" Zhang Lizheng smiled: "The Xingke family will definitely not be able to eat it.

This order only makes Xingke the general organizer and is responsible for organizing the supply of goods.

Don't worry, it can be eaten.

This little thing is nothing."

Li Siya breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, that's not bad.

I was shocked by you.

I thought it was all for Xingke.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it were spread across the country."

"But don't be careless.

The work of sourcing and logistics organization is not easy.

You must start taking action now.

There will only be more and more orders like this.

The production capacity of various materials must continue to expand, and every factory must Organize overtime and don’t slack off.”

Although Zhang Lizheng has become the Prime Minister of China, the people at Xingke Group are all his old subordinates, and his words are still valid.

"Prime Minister, why don't you distribute these orders directly to various domestic enterprises?"

asked Situ Ya, the current general manager of Xingke Group.

Zhang Lizheng smiled: "I think so too, but now many small and medium-sized enterprises in China lack experience in international trade and do not have the ability to organize logistics at this level.

I'm afraid there will be problems if we leave it to them directly.

So we must first let Xingke help Take care of it, especially in terms of quality.

Don't bother yourself.

It's not in vain.

You can use it as management fees.

Mr.

Wen ordered 3%."

In fact, the current Xingke Group can be said to be a weirdo.

On the surface, it is a private enterprise, and it is also a well-known multinational consortium in the world.

However, it also assumed some of the functions of later generations of the Ministry of Industry, the General Armament Department, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and even the National Development and Reform Commission in China.

At present, nearly 90% of domestic heavy industry and a considerable part of light industry are its subsidiaries or holding companies.

Of course, this situation is caused by special reasons and is not normal.

It will not last forever.

When the domestic situation stabilizes, its functions that it should not have will gradually be stripped away.

"In addition, this time Efei's J-4 was selected by the Germans.

They want to buy 800 of them, including drawings and production authorization.

This needs to be discussed with Efei," Zhang Lizheng continued.

The prototype of the "J-4" Oriole fighter jet produced by Efei for export is the He51 from the original time and space.

No wonder it is favored by Germany
