It only took a few days for the Revolutionary Army to win victory in southern Yunnan, but the preparations for victory lasted for a year.≤≤Xiao≤Say that this is a heavy foundation and guarantee. In addition, with Gaoping, a base that transcends the territory, the current Revolutionary Army may certainly defeat the war, but as long as the foundation exists, it is no longer realistic to completely defeat the Revolutionary Army.

Chen Wenqiang claimed that he was not a talent to lead the army, but he still wanted to return to China as soon as possible, so that he could pay attention to the bloody battle between the Revolutionary Army and the counterattacking Qing Army nearby, and perhaps he could think of other ways to help. However, from the perspective of time, it seemed that it was too late.

Although Germany has a high level of industrial manufacturing, improvements in processes and equipment are not something that can be completed in a short time.

Using his precious leisure time, Chen Wenqiang visited Krupp, Siemens and other companies and reached an intention agreement to continue in-depth cooperation. In addition to old customers, Chen Wenqiang also met and negotiated with some new customers, such as Deutsche Airship Transportation Company (founded by Zeppelin), which was the world's first commercial civil aviation transport company.

Although there are still many areas that need improvement and improvement at this time, the technical level is already the most advanced product in the world. The aircraft that is more important than air is an ugly newborn, and can only carry one or two people. The aircraft that is more important than air is just a small breastfeeding animal.

There are also those who fly in the air and run on land. Chen Wenqiang also contacted Daimler Automobile Company in Germany and reached an intentional agreement to plan to establish a joint venture automobile company in China. The automobile industry has just emerged, and it is easy to catch up and narrow the gap. Moreover, the automobile industry is a highly technology-intensive industry, focusing on new materials, new equipment, new processes and new technologies in many scientific fields, which is also a great promotion for other affiliated industries.

When Basf Company, in accordance with Chen Wenqiang's suggestion and design, added a layer of iron lining to the reaction pipe of mild steel to solve the problem of hydrogen corrosion. After related improvements to the production equipment, the industrialization of synthetic ammonia finally became a reality. This was three years ahead of history.

Before the 19th century, the sources of nitrogen fertilizers needed in agriculture mainly came from by-products of organic matter, such as manure, seed cakes and green manure. In 1809, a large sodium nitrate mineral was discovered in Chile and was quickly mined. On the one hand, due to the limited mineral deposits, on the other hand, the military industry also needed a large amount of saltpeter to produce explosives.

Realizing atmospheric nitrogen fixation, fixing the abundant nitrogen in the air and converting it into a form that can be used, has always attracted the attention and concern of many scientists. The success of laboratory production is of course of epoch-making significance, which has made people see the dawn of nitrogen fixation. The success of industrial production has turned it into reality and its significance is also extraordinary. Chemical expert Bosch also won the Nobel Prize in history.

Basf Company was ecstatic. This not only accelerated the development of world agriculture, but also catered to the psychology of the German government and even Emperor William. Although German military and political officials have not yet launched a large-scale war to annex Europe and dominate the world, their emphasis on military aspects is obvious to all.

After Haber's process was displayed, even the German emperor condescended to ask Haber to take the post of director of the William Institute in Germany. Basf Company completed industrialization and the prospects were bright. How could the government's support, the attention of military and political officials, and the continuous orders not make Basf Company excited?

Before the warm atmosphere of the celebration party had dissipated, Chen Wenqiang was received by German Emperor William II. This should be the second royal summoning. When he arrived in Germany, the crown prince received and invited Chen Wenqiang to a banquet, thanking and appreciating the large-scale cooperation between China and Germany promoted by Chen Wenqiang. This time the specifications were improved again, and Chen Wenqiang also decided to come up with some substantial things to achieve greater benefits.

An emerging imperialist country's booming national strength is obviously inconsistent with the benefits it gains in the world. When William II expressed passionately to all Germans: "The German Empire wants to become a world empire. In the faraway places on the earth, our compatriots should be inhabited everywhere. German goods, German knowledge, and German diligence must travel across the ocean??" The whole world, especially Britain, France, and Russia in Europe, listened to the declaration of dominating the world in a panic, and felt a huge powder barrel beside him, which could explode at any time and cause disaster to itself.

When German Emperor William wanted to find a "position under the sun" for Germany, and abandoned Bismarck's European continental policy and instead pursued the so-called world policy, not only Wadesi, Tirpitz, Holstein and others were enthusiastically entertained. A large number of bourgeois industrial giants represented by Stum were even more ecstatic, and they were looking at the overseas market with salivation.

Obviously, when Germany directly entered the imperialist society from feudal society, the old bureaucratic class represented by Bismarck could no longer adapt to the changes in production relations and the social changes caused by this. As the highest representative of the German imperialist class, William II's world policy, although it had a strong militaristic color, was in line with the needs of the German ruling class at that time and was supported and supported by most capitalists.

However, William II may have suffered from serious illness, which caused problems with brain function, which made him full of ambitions, impulsiveness and recklessness, and a bit arrogant in dealing with others, so he failed to maintain rationality in Germany's foreign policy.

"German trade should be 'national world trade'. Germany and the world have the same meaning, because German policies should be reflected all over the world..."

"I deeply agree with this. Germany's technological level leading the world and the Germans' rigorous and dedicated work spirit left a deep impression on me. This is also the main reason why I have been continuously expanding cooperation with German companies so far. And I think the world policy implemented by His Majesty the Emperor is very correct. Germany should have an international status and living space commensurate with its strong national strength." Chen Wenqiang half-truely complimented that everyone is happy when wearing a high hat.

William II seemed very excited, waved his hand vigorously, and emphasized: "It is indeed the case. China is a big country, and the cooperation between Germany and China will have a far-reaching impact."

"China is a big country and a weak country." Chen Wenqiang said in a pondering voice: "But deepening cooperation with your country and complementing each other's advantages is a good thing for both countries to benefit. Because now is a period of great development of international division of labor. With Germany's management experience and advanced technology, China has millions of simple, tame, amazingly frugal and smart workers. Combining the two, the products made by Sino-German joint ventures will have great competitiveness, thus occupying a larger international market."

International division of labor? Complementary advantages? William II was curious about this new term, but he understood the main meaning of Chen Wenqiang's words.

"I know some situations in China. Chinese workers work tirelessly and happily to obtain rewards that can make them live comfortably. And that kind of reward is something that Westerners cannot use to maintain their lives." William II shook his head without regret and said, "While Western workers strive to work less and get more every day, but they always think about salary. It is really unreasonable."

According to China's current situation, it is inevitable and the best choice to take the path of labor-intensive economic development. And the rise of "world factory" is obviously closer to reality.

"Your Majesty knows some of the situation in China, but it is obviously not comprehensive." Chen Wenqiang introduced and explained the political situation in China to William. "China is very large, and even one or two provinces, there is a lot of room and room for development. The current government's control over the governors of other provinces is declining. In other words, the authoritarian authority of the central government is declining. Therefore, Your Majesty can temporarily not pursue alliances with the central government representing China, but focus on establishing solid forces in several provinces."

"For example, Huguang, Guangdong and Qiongzhou." William was very interested in the map presented by Chen Wenqiang. Although it was not the first time he saw it, he had a more intuitive and accurate understanding through Chen Wenqiang's introduction.

"The area of ​​just one or two provinces is equivalent to that of Japan." Chen Wenqiang pursed his lips indifferently, stretched out his fingers and said, "It is precisely because China has a vast territory and the differences between the various places are also very high. Not every place is suitable for modern economic development. But if several provinces develop well, the entire China will gradually have the strength to compete with Japan."

Japan! William II frowned slightly, which was the root of the "Yellow Peril Theory" he proposed. Even if a poor and weak China wants to become a "Yellow Peril", it is impossible to get it. In the Far East, if Germany wants to curb Japan, it seems that it can only support the weak and large China. Chen Wenqiang's meaning is also clear. It is difficult to form an alliance between countries, but it does not hinder Germany's ultimate goal of supporting China and curbing Japan.

"After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, China's navy was destroyed, and Japan forced Taiwan to forcefully sever the people, and they all hated each other and waited for the opportunity to avenge their shame." Chen Wenqiang added another handful of dry firewood, and his expression became resentful and ferocious. "From the population, the land area, and the resources and minerals, China is invincible to Japan. Now it is just a far cry from technology and industry, and it must catch up. Therefore, your country's selfless help is crucial."

When it comes to Japan, it naturally involves Britain. The relationship between Britain and Germany has long become very tense due to the arms race. Under the leadership of German Emperor William II, Germany began to build large quantities of battleships in 1890 and passed a bill to double the German naval power in 1900, and Britain regarded it as an attempt to challenge his maritime hegemony.

Although William's character and propositions have made Germany's foreign policy of Britain, France and Russia always waver, and there is no mentality or preparation to go to war with any country at present. However, he vigorously advocated militarism, supported the expansion of the German military, and supported the development of military industry (especially the Krupp Company), which has caused Germany to fall into a military competition with surrounding countries. When this military competition becomes difficult to end, war is inevitable and will not be diverted by someone's will.

William II did not respond immediately to Chen Wenqiang's more direct statement, but nodded thoughtfully.

"Japan is a country with great ambition and aggressiveness, and the islanders' psychology is even more narrow and extreme." Chen Wenqiang continued to say quietly: "They will never be satisfied with their current status, especially after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was full of expansion in the Pacific region. The United States also realized this. Moreover, the United States had to make concessions..."

As the confrontation between the United States and Japan formed in the Pacific region, hostility between the two sides became increasingly serious. In 1906, the San Francisco School Committee, California announced that it would adopt a quarantine policy for all Japanese students. When the news came to Japan, the Japanese public regarded it as a shame and immediately set off fierce anti-US demonstrations, slandering the Americans. The Japanese government also strongly demanded that the US government explain this.

Japanese public opinion even yelled: "The whole world knows that the poorly equipped US Army and Navy are not the opponents of our highly combative army and navy." Japan's Daily News roared: "When our great naval generals appear on the other side of the Pacific, it is easy to break the US's stubborn dream. Why don't we insist on sending warships?" Seeing that the conflict between the two sides was about to break, Roosevelt immediately persuaded the San Francisco School Committee to revoke the above-mentioned Japanese regulations, and the situation was eased.

"Yes, I also noticed the arrogance of Japan and the weakness of the US military power in Asia." William II agreed. "Japan's aggressive expansion in the Far East and the Pacific region has threatened the interests of the United States. In a sense, curbing Japan should be the common aspiration of Germany, China and the United States."

"We are making preparations." Chen Wenqiang said at the right time: "Clean, try not to war preparations that will arouse Japan's vigilance. For example, training new troops, making firearms and artillery, for example, "I deliberately paused, and he continued: "For example, how to use methods to fight against the Japanese Navy, there are other auxiliary measures that are beneficial to war."

As he said that, Chen Wenqiang took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket and a German manual wrapped in a bottle, handed it to William II, and said, "Just like this, if the war breaks out, it will be a very favorable condition for our army."

William reached out to take it, read the instruction manual briefly, but did not understand the importance of it very well, but he still politely earned it and continued to talk with Chen Wenqiang.
Chapter completed!
