Qin Moman said slowly: "I think it is difficult for the country to accept such conditions, because we can form a coalition with other countries to regain Qingdao. "

Li Sanjie smiled and said, "But anyone who is absolutely sure of winning in wars. If the war fails, then your country will get nothing. Moreover, our cooperation with your country is not limited to this. In addition, in the military field, we still have a lot of room for cooperation with your country. We have a gift to your emperor, and I believe your country's emperor will be interested."

Qin Moman said, "I wonder what gift it is?"

Li Sanjie said: "We can provide your country with a complete set of design drawings for the three types of warships such as British majestic battleships, old man star battleships, and Cresey-class armored cruisers."

Qin Moman was stunned. Although he was not a soldier, he was not familiar with warships, and was not familiar with the performance characteristics of these types of warships, he also knew that battleships were the main battleships of a country's navy, and armored cruisers were important auxiliary warships of the navy. Now Germany is vigorously developing its navy, striving to build a fleet that can compete with the British Royal Navy and compete with Britain for maritime control. Since it is to compete with Britain, then if it can obtain the drawings of British battleships and armored cruisers and understand the performance of British ships, it will of course be of great help to the construction of the German navy.

However, the drawings of any type of warship are extremely confidential documents in every country, let alone important ship types such as battleships and armored cruisers. So how did this group of overseas Chinese get the drawings of the British ship? Could it be that they were lying to themselves? Therefore, Qin Moman said: "How did you obtain these drawings?"

Li Sanjie smiled and said, "We naturally have our channels, but we cannot disclose to the Consul. The Consul will send all the contents of our talks back to China without visiting them. See your emperor and your government's attitude. If your country is interested in the cooperation we have proposed, then we can further negotiate. If you have any questions about these drawings, you can let professionals identify them. Now Marshal Wadesi of your country and several senior officers are in Qingdao, including naval officers. We can hand these drawings over to them and then let them make professional evaluations."

Qin Moman felt a little lost when he heard this, because the senior officers Li Sanjie said were actually prisoners of overseas Chinese, which of course was not a glorious thing. However, Li Sanjie's suggestion was very reasonable. After all, letting professionals do professional things. And sending the content of today's talks back to China will not cause any loss to him. How to decide is decided by the country. If the country is unwilling to cooperate with overseas Chinese, then it will be fine. If the country is interested in the cooperation projects proposed by overseas Chinese, then he will make a contribution.

Although countries have oral agreements and prohibit countries from contacting and negotiations with overseas Chinese during the time of negotiating and organizing multinational coalition forces, Qin Moman knew in his heart that only fools would regard this kind of agreement as a matter of time. As long as it is beneficial to the country, not to mention oral agreements, even an agreement signed on paper is not much more valuable than toilet paper.

So Qin Moman stood up and said goodbye to Li Sanjie. After returning to the consulate, he immediately sorted out the content of his talks with Li Sanjie in detail into a document and sent it back to China. Moreover, because the content of the message was long, it took him an entire afternoon to send it.

Two days later, Qin Moman received a reply from the German cabinet, asking Qin Moman to immediately negotiate with overseas Chinese and to get the German officials captured in Qingdao to identify the drawings for the three types of warships as soon as possible. The telegram was accompanied by an order from the German General Staff to Marshal Wadesi, requiring him to immediately organize the captured naval officers to appraise the drawings, and write a detailed appraisal report and send it back to the General Staff to discuss.

After receiving the call back, Qin Moman was also a little surprised because he did not expect that the country would respond so quickly, and he actually sent back and forth calls in the name of the cabinet. It turned out that he thought it would take four or five days, and at most the call back by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was raised. The level of reply was increased, which shows that the country attached great importance to the content of the telegrams he sent. It seemed that he had done the right thing to report to the country to the talks with Li Sanjie.

Judging from the content of the callback, it is obvious that it is interested in the warship drawings provided by overseas Chinese, and has not mentioned other words of economic cooperation, which shows that the country mainly focuses on military aspects.

Since he showed interest in China, Qin Moman naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately came to the administrative building of the Tianjin New District Government to meet Li Sanjie and expressed the German government's requirements to Li Sanjie, hoping that the time travelers would arrange personnel to carry the drawings with him to Qingdao as soon as possible, so that the German officials could identify the authenticity of the drawings.

Li Sanjie naturally agreed and agreed with Qin Moman that he could arrange personnel to set off with Qin Moman tonight, rest on the boat in the evening, and arrive in Qingdao early tomorrow morning. Qin Moman was also very satisfied and asked to generate electricity from Qingdao, first communicate with Qingdao, and then say goodbye and go back to the consulate to prepare for departure.

After Qin Moman left, Li Sanjie immediately reported to Xia Bohai and Xu Jichao who were left behind in Tianjin.

After listening to Li Sanjie's report, Xia Bohai also nodded and said, "Minister Li, you handled it well. I will arrange personnel immediately and set off for Qingdao with Qin Moman tonight.

Li Sanjie said: "Commander, Germany is really interested in those warships."

Xia Bohai laughed and said, "Of course, the German Emperor William II dreamed of building a navy that could compete with Britain to compete with Britain for maritime hegemony. These warships are the main warships of Britain at present. Therefore, Germany will never give up the opportunity to get the drawings of these warships. This is also one of our trump cards. And the warship drawings on our hands are these? Otherwise, how could we regard Germany as a breakthrough for the division of the Eight-Nation Alliance?"

Xu Jichao said: "So we can use the drawings of these warships to withdraw Germany from the Eight-Nation Alliance."

Xia Bohai said: "It can only be said that the opportunity is great, but it is not an absolute matter now. We need further efforts. This time, letting the German officials identify the drawings is a very important part, because in Germany, the army has a great say. If the officer's report is interested in the drawings of these warships, of course, I can rest assured that there is a political commissar there. In this regard, the political commissar is better than me."

After discussing the German matter, everyone was busy with their own work. After all, there are more and more affairs in Tianjin now, and the only ones in charge of the whole situation are Xia Bohai and Xu Jichao, so they are almost all busy.

Xia Bohai is still in charge of the affairs of the Military Commission, so after leaving the office of the Executive Committee, Xia Bohai immediately came to the Office of the Military Commission. At this time, the captain of Yueyang ship Wang Hailong, captain of Huaihua ship ***, captain of Changbaishan ship Lu Kai, and captain of Taihu ship Xie Teng, who left in Tianjin, were all waiting for him. Now other battalion-level commanders who traveled through the army are in Qingdao. The affairs of the Military Commission are mainly responsible for the affairs of these five people.

Seeing Xia Bohai coming back, everyone immediately stood up and saluted Xia Bohai. After Xia Bohai returned the salutation, he said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, everyone can sit down."

Wang Hailong hurriedly said, "Commander, it doesn't take long."

Xia Bohai said: "Time is urgent, so I won't be much polite. This time, there are two main things to recruit everyone. First, we received information yesterday. Russia drew eight warships from Vladivostok to form a fleet, preparing to enter the Port of Lushun."

Wang Hailong immediately laughed and said, "This is a business that comes to your door. You must do it. Commander, you won't let these warships go."

Xia Bohai said: "Of course we can't let it go. This is just another opportunity to establish our authority. Although our focus is on diplomacy now, the military power cannot be ignored. Both hands must be strong. As long as we perform strongly in the military, the more we will be in the diplomatic field. Captain Wang, you will go out to sea tomorrow and patrol the Bohaikou area. Once you find the whereabouts of the Russian fleet, you will immediately return it. In two days, the Military Commission will transfer both the Kunming ship and the Xiangyang ship to prepare for this battle. This is the information of these eight warships. I will send it to you later. Now use my tablet to see it."

Everyone took Xia Bohai and handed it over to the tablet computer to search for the information.

*** said: "A old battleship, two large armored cruisers, and two large protective cruisers, is much weaker than the German fleet. You dare to drive to Lushun. Is it difficult for the Russians to think that their navy is stronger than the German fleet?"

Xie Teng smiled and said, "They are not here to fight with us, they are just strengthening the defense of Lushun Port. In this era, without sufficient intelligence support, it will be difficult to block a fleet."

*** said: "That's the same."

Wang Hailong said: "Just use these warships, only the Yueyang ship and the Huaihua ship are enough. There is no need to transfer the Kunming ship and the Xiangyang ship back."

Lu Kai said, "Don't eat alone, and also give some to other warships."

Xia Bohai said: "The war in Qingdao has ended now, and it is enough to leave only one warship there. Therefore, it is normal to transfer the Kunming ship and Xiangyang ship back, not for this battle." After a pause, Xia Bohai said: "The second thing is the recruitment. Now the area we occupy has expanded, so the scale of the People's Army needs to be further expanded..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the voice of the guards coming from the door: "Report."

Xia Bohai turned his head and said, "What's the matter?"
Chapter completed!
