From a small arms dealer to a rich man, and then to Chen Wenqiang's middleman in Germany, Karls is no longer satisfied with just doing arms business. Instead, under Chen Wenqiang's instigation and persuasion, he has involved other fields and even has some connections with the German officials through various relationships.

Chen Wenqiang's reputation and frequent cooperation with German large enterprises gradually attracted the attention of the German government. Especially in the establishment of Dehua University and Tongji Medical University, Chen Wenqiang spared no effort. He not only negotiated with the German Consul in Shanghai, but also sent a letter to the Emperor, hoping that the German government would support it and use it to enhance its influence in China.

Chen Wenqiang is not only a famous scientist, but also a rookie among the constitutionalists who are emerging and growing in China. He represents a political force that may gain momentum in the future. In particular, Chen Wenqiang's usual pro-German tendency has made the German government pay more and more attention.

Before this, William II secretly met with Sun Baoqi, the Chinese minister who was on a mission to Germany, and told him: "The strongest country in Europe is Germany, and the largest country in Asia is China. If the richest country in the Americas is added, the United States will establish a triangular alliance, it will make great contributions to world peace." His intention was obvious, which was to overwhelm the British-Japanese alliance through the alliance between China, Germany and the United States.

However, for such an important diplomatic issue, Sun Baoqi submitted a report to Empress Dowager Cixi, and Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly: "How can Britain not join such a big problem?" It turned out that Empress Dowager Cixi, who suffered a great loss in the Opium War, only knew that Britain was the most powerful country in the world. If China wants to join the alliance, the participation of Britain is indispensable.

After hearing the meaning of Empress Dowager Cixi conveyed by Sun Baoqi, William II secretly laughed at the naivety of Chinese diplomacy, but on the surface said: "It is not impossible to let Britain join, but it should be meticulous in advance. Let us contact the three countries before we talk about it." The purpose of this statement was obviously to stabilize China, and the idea of ​​the Sino-US-German League of Three Kingdoms was put on hold at this point.

However, William II did not completely give up on the idea of ​​the Sino-US-German alliance. He was still looking for opportunities and other channels to find smart Chinese officials who could understand the international situation and come to contact the matter again. Although Chen Wenqiang could not be considered a key official who could directly reach the center of the Qing court and control the government, he was also a more powerful figure who could test and strive for.

And with William II's shouting: "The German Empire wants to become a world empire. In faraway places on the earth, our compatriots should be inhabited everywhere. German commodities, German knowledge, and German diligence must travel across the ocean?" Not only Wadesi, Alfred von Tirpitz, Holstein and others enthusiastically supported the show, but a large number of bourgeois industrial and commercial giants were even more ecstatic, and they were looking at the overseas market with salivation.

Therefore, in the investment cooperation between industrial and commercial enterprises in China and the establishment of Dehua University, the German government gave the green light and handed over the matter to the Governor in Qingdao, allowing him to negotiate specific matters with Chen Wenqiang, the other party of the joint venture, to conduct some other tests.

Chen Wenqiang politely refused Carls' suggestion. At this time, he could not leave Yazhou, and he wanted to make a turn for the end of the Wanning Uprising.

"I will write a letter to the Governor, please take it to Qingdao." Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and asked again: "The production line equipment of Mauser's rifle and bullets should be transported as soon as possible. I have already opened the joints. New troops formed by two or three provinces will purchase weapons and ammunition from me, and there may be an increase in the future. If you cannot deliver the goods on time, I may."

"This is no problem." Karls hurriedly made a promise and said: "According to the recent telegram, these machinery and equipment have been shipped in Hamburg and will be shipped soon. I am full of 100% sincerity for this transaction and have put in a lot of hard work..."

"You have also become a rich man." Chen Wenqiang interrupted Carls's performance and complained with a smile. "You know, even if there is no production line, it is not very difficult to imitate the Mauser rifle. Of course, in order to repay your hard work and hard work, I am going to give you another way to make money, that is, the synthetic ammonia factory. We purchase patents for the synthetic ammonia production process. We look for partners to achieve industrial production."

German chemist Harber began to study the direct synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen in 1902. With the help of his close partner Rosegel, he overcame difficulties such as high pressure and catalysts, and finally invented the synthetic ammonia production method. He applied for a patent, namely the "circulation method". This production equipment is like a small factory, producing hundreds of milliliters of liquid ammonia every hour, and its energy consumption is extremely low. However, laboratory methods can rarely be used directly in industrial production, and the experimental device can only be lying quietly in the laboratory for people to visit.

Although Chen Wenqiang knew how to improve and make industrial synthetic ammonia a reality, this also requires a very high level of industrial manufacturing, which is not something that domestic conditions can achieve. Therefore, he set his sights on the powerful factory companies of Germany and the United States, and decided to adopt a joint venture and cooperation method to take the lead in building a synthetic ammonia factory.

But Karls obviously lacks confidence in this and is seriously lacking. Just imagine that under the scientific and technological level of Germany, the industrialization of synthetic ammonia is still far away, let alone the

"I am not good at industry and I am not proficient in it." Karls politely declined Chen Wenqiang's suggestion, "As for the joint venture partner, I can help you find a partner in Germany."

"Forget small businesses without strength." Chen Wenqiang shook his head gently and said, "I am going to seek partners through newspaper media. The goal is mainly to determine whether there is no one or two million funds in Germany and the United States. Those who cannot afford one or two million funds are not considered."

"It takes such a big investment?" Carls was surprised.

Chen Wen smiled faintly and did not explain deeply. Historically, it took four or five years for synthetic ammonia from laboratory to industrial production. Just looking for efficient and stable catalysts, it has conducted up to 6,500 tests and tested 2,500 different formulas. These are too professional, so it is said that Carls is playing the piano for a cow.

As for investment, Chen Wenqiang is planning to use knowledge and wisdom as shares. You should know that synthetic ammonia is a bright road. It is not only the main raw material for the fertilizer industry and basic organic chemical industry, but also the raw material for the pyrogenic industry, which can serve war. For some countries that hope to expand and realize their ambitions through war, it is also a material support that must be obtained.

After sending Carls away, Chen Wenqiang went to find Wan Fuhua again. He explained some trivial matters such as the resettlement of the rebels' families, and talked about the lack of government personnel. He hoped that Wan Fuhua would take out some people first and manage the expanded territory.

Now, Chen Wenqiang must sit in Yazhou, while pretending to expand his armed forces, train business groups and form groups to protect industries that are not actually affected by riots; while waiting for news from Qiongzhong. In addition, he also issued a secret order, ordering the personnel lurking in Guangzhou to assassinate the Guangzhou general, and then release the news that the incident was to be uprising in Guangzhou. This was a restraining force, which made the atmosphere in Guangzhou tense, so that the government could not easily transfer troops to Qiongzhou.

…………

In the fields, green grass lies on the ground with a smile, like a love conversation with the little yellow flowers of dandelions with their heads lowered; from the cultivated fields that are permeated with moisture, you can smell a damp, fermented breath everywhere. Countless green buds poke out their heads like needle tips, as if they are breathing with their mouths open.

A trace of wind with poetic warmth gently blew on Caifeng's cheeks, and the dull colors had already disappeared from her eyes. The sun was not very warm, but a sunny light increased the heat in her heart and body.

What is life? If it is a dream, don’t take anything seriously. Why does it make people think endlessly and unspeakable pain? Why does so many sufferings make people suffer unbearable torment?

Compared with the simplicity of death, life seems to be more difficult, more twists and turns. Therefore, life needs a kind of happiness to support. With this kind of support, people will be stronger, more powerful, and more persistent. Because of living, it will create a kind of happiness and happiness around you that is dialyzed out because of life. Only then will you feel the meaning of life and reflect the happiness of birth.

For Caifeng, her understanding of life is still uncertain. Sometimes life is a nightmare, sometimes a table of delicacies for her to enjoy; sometimes life is a rainbow that appears in the sky after the rain, sometimes it is a bumpy and tortuous mountain road; sometimes life is the kite with a broken string; sometimes life is a fat pig who eats well and sleeps well.

If you are alive, then try to make yourself happy! Happy and happy are one day, sorrow and depression are also one day, but the end of life is the same. If you want to understand it more thoroughly, life is just a resume of step by step towards the grave.

A pleasant scenery, a lyrical old song, a pot of strong old wine, a sweet kiss, an emotional tenderness... The happiness of life is not far away, it can be said to be everywhere, it only depends on whether you can find it and whether you cherish it enough.

The crisp giggling laughter interrupted Caifeng's thoughts. Lili and Yulian smiled happily, and there was another spoil in the cage. Whether it was a cricket or a grasshopper, Caifeng couldn't tell the difference. Yulian was a very active and smart little girl. She had a few cans of crickets and would tease them. She used a long mouse beard-like thing to pull it on its tentacles a few times, and then angered the little thing. But Yulian was just playing and did not let them really bite them, so as not to hurt them.

Compared to Yulian's innocent and romantic nature, Lili seems mature because of the suffering she has experienced. Although she is only a few years older, she is sincere to Yulian. Yulian is her first friend and does not make fun of her or scold her because of her blue eyes.

"Children, don't run too far." Caifeng was willing to watch the two children playing carefreely, although she had something to do.

Sometimes, Caifeng felt that most of her life seemed to be waiting for a man. This made her quite patient, but there were always times when she was impatient because the person she was waiting for was the person she loved.

In order to distract her attention, she was busy doing things for herself. She got up in the morning and played Tai Chi with Lili to calm her mood. In addition to picking up Lili and Yulian to school, she read books and learn foreign languages ​​after school. In her opinion, Chen Wenqiang needed a talented woman, although due to her background and other reasons, this woman is likely not her.

When I felt most relaxed, I accompanied Lili and Yulian to watch the crickets fighting in the small jar. The clever little girl teased the crickets' tentacles, aroused their fighting enthusiasm, and then separated them when they were intense. Lili and Yulian showed curiosity and tenderness at all times, which made Caifeng feel heartbroken and pampered.

Then there was playing in the wild, Lili and Yulian were running and dancing, and the braid was shaking behind her head like a blowjob. The cute figures of the two girls, their bright eyes, and their crisp laughter were sometimes terrifying and sometimes naughty and funny. All of this reminded Caifeng of the scene when she was a child, and there was also a very short and happy time.

When the carriage on the road stopped and Chen Wenqiang's familiar figure appeared again, Caifeng suddenly realized that she had been so worried and scared. But now, she was just happy about Chen Wenqiang's return.

Chen Wenqiang's appearance had almost no change. He hugged Caifeng with a smile, hugging her very tightly, which made Caifeng know that his strength seemed to be getting stronger again. Then Chen Wenqiang smiled and talked to the two little girls. Yulian seemed shy, but solemn.

"Is it not good to raise a pug? Do you have to catch crickets?" The two girls simply rejected Chen Wenqiang's suggestion and went to play again.

Caifeng stared at Chen Wenqiang, her firm face, slightly opened lips, and her usual serious expression showed tenderness, and a bit of naughty flashed in her blinking eyes. The two of them held hands, walked to the car on the side of the road and sat down, whispering in a low voice.

This is not the first time such a scene, but it still makes Caifeng excited. She has long known that men's enthusiasm and love are different, and these two seem to be different in men's hearts.

"Wanning's riot will not affect this place, right?" Cai Feng was a little worried, but when Chen Wenqiang came back, she no longer cared, but she still liked to hear Chen Wenqiang's reply.

"No." Chen Wenqiang hugged Caifeng's waist and stroked her hand. "I didn't see the merchant group. The militia group had expanded and bought a lot of weapons. Besides, the uprising was not a thug. They didn't touch Wanning's canning factory."

"That German is waiting for you. Are you going to Qingdao? By the way, I already know daily German conversations." Caifeng felt that Chen Wenqiang's arms were very warm, just like a hot bed that got up early, making her not want to leave.

"Qingdao will not go for the time being." Chen Wenqiang reached out and held Caifeng's chin, letting her face face facing him. He looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Say one word, I'll say 'I love you'."
