Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

I really don’t know about the rest.

The last time the German Becker and Shen Hao were involved in an arms deal worth one million dollars, he had been coveting it for a long time.

So, as soon as Shen Hao spread the word that he wanted to purchase millions of arms, he came to the door with gifts.

Thinking carefully about the news about Shen Hao, I couldn't find anything special.

In order to win this order.

Yong Jianqiu said cautiously: "Commander Shen, how about you give me a hint? I have been in Guangdong Province recently, and I really don't know anything else."

Hearing this, Shen Hao nodded and understood.

The information gap is still huge in this era.

So Shen Hao said: "I'm afraid Mr. Yong doesn't know that I just married President Yuan's daughter Yuan Fuzhen a few days ago.

And he had just been promoted to the commander of the Beiyang 18th Division."

Yong Jianqiu looked at Shen Hao in shock. He really had no idea about this news.

I was shocked!

If this is true, Shen Hao will have a bright future, and he has a strong background and personal strength, and seems to have a backer.

However, Yong Jianqiu did not understand the actual situation and did not dare to make a decision.

After all, this matter is too big and needs to be investigated thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Yong Jianqiu said: "Congratulations to Commander Shen. If he is really the son-in-law of President Yuan, then the Army License will be easily obtained by Commander Shen. I am sorry for making a fool of myself."

Shen Hao smiled and said, "That's not the case, but if your weapons can be sold at a lower price, I'd be willing to buy them.

Besides, my order is worth more than one million dollars, maybe even four million dollars, it depends on whether you can take it."

Shen Hao released his bait.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yong Jianqiu became very excited.

If there really is a big order of 400 million, in order to make its name, Jetsen will definitely offer the lowest price, and then he can make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Yong Jianqiu stood up and said, "Master Shen, no matter what price others offer you, don't rush to sign the contract. I will go back and discuss it, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Shen Hao smiled with satisfaction and said: "Then wait for good news."

Then, the two shook hands and Yong Jianqiu left in a hurry.

Shen Hao understood that this guy must be going to investigate his identity.

This is also what Shen Hao hopes to see. It is necessary to find a stable and low-priced channel.

Now that his position is not stable, Shen Hao cannot make any big moves.

Once he gets the position of governor, Shen Hao will start to develop the economy and military factories.

Wars are fought for money and equipment.

Before World War I, the sun never set on the Eagle Kingdom, and the United States still owed the Eagle Kingdom 4 million pounds.

After World War I, the United States owed the United States 8.5 million pounds. It can be seen that the United States borrowed at least 12 billion pounds from the United States.

Before the outbreak of World War I, Britain issued 7 million pounds of government bonds. After the outbreak of World War I, this figure increased by at least 10 times.

During World War I, European countries' military expenditures were extremely large, and the military expenditures of the Eagle Country reached the highest level in history.

1914年鹰国的军费支出达到了5.5亿英镑，1915年增加到了7.2亿英镑，1916年增加到了10.5亿英镑，1917年增加到了13.6亿英镑，1918年增加到了14.9亿英镑。

After the first war, the Eagle Country spent 100 billion pounds.

After World War I, we suddenly went from being a place where the sun never sets to being a drowned chicken.

Before World War I, the United States was the center of the world, and its gold standard system was recognized by the whole world.

The currencies of the United States and France can be freely exchanged for gold bars, and the currencies of other countries can be exchanged for pounds or francs. This is the gold bullion exchange standard.

The excuse of this system is that everyone needs to keep their own currency from depreciating in order to better implement various post-war arrangements after World War I, mainly war reparations.

Because Germany lost money, but the German mark depreciated, so it was nothing.

Then, because Britain and France were the victors of World War I, they had the power to link their exchange rates to gold.

Originally, the British pound was the most important international currency, but World War I caused the status of the British pound to plummet, and the US dollar became the new international currency. Even the world financial center of London was replaced by New York, USA.

It can be seen that war really costs money.

Currently, Shen Hao can only fight against warlords and regional wars.

If a national war really broke out, Shen Hao would be exhausted to death in less than a week.

As for the warlords in various provinces who wanted to buy weapons, they had to obtain the army's transportation license, and the main reason was that the weapons had to be delivered to the concession in Tianjin.

Because the German Concession in Tianjin was a base for transporting arms, which were sent from here to all parts of the country. If you did not give a transportation permit, you could not leave Tianjin. Of course, the foreigners could not control it.

The military equipment imported from Germany first arrived in Qingdao, then was re-exported to Tianjin and the German Concession.

Unloading and storage at Haihe Port, and handling delivery procedures.

The German Concession in Tianjin is bordered by the Haihe River to the east, starts from Kaifeng Road in the north, reaches Qiongzhou Road in the south, and ends at Taoyuan Village in the west, covering an area of ​​4200 acres.

There are more than 30 German companies in Tianjin, such as Lihe, Shendou, Ruiji, Melchers, Lulin, Tianli, Dezheng, Jiecheng, Siemens, etc.

· ···Request flowers 0 ·····

Since the German Concession was established later, most of these foreign companies were located in the British Concession, dealing in machinery, electrical materials, hardware, medicines, pigments, fertilizers,

Woolen cloth, photographic equipment, etc., but the biggest business is arms.

As soon as Yong Jianqiu left, the German Becker came.

Behind this guy is the Lihe Company, which deals in arms from the German Krupp Company.

However, Shen Hao has the right to choose this time and is not in a hurry.

Becker smiled and said, "Shen, give me the order and I will give you the most satisfactory price."

Shen Hao said: "Just now, an agent from Jiecheng Foreign Company came to me and offered me a very generous price."

Becker said with an unpleasant expression: "Fuck, it must be this guy Yong Jianqiu, this traitor, I was the one who asked him to be the agent of our Lihe Foreign Company.

Who knew that this guy thought the commission was too little and turned around to go to our arch-rival, Jetsen & Co.

How much did Shen offer you? "

.. ..... .......

Shen Hao smiled and asked, "How much are you going to offer?"

"Shen, you should know that the market price of a Mauser rifle is 60 dollars.

I can give you the best discount, 100 Mauser rifles for one million dollars, plus one million bullets.

How about my sincerity?

Shen Hao silently calculated something in his mind.

Eighty dollars for one thousand rounds of bullets, and one million rounds of bullets is 8 dollars. When you calculate it, it’s a big discount.

Seeing that Shen Hao didn't say anything, Becker said again: "Shen, you should know that our Krupp world-famous brand has quality assurance. We can send you a special train directly from Qingdao instead of Tianjin Port.

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, surveying instruments, marching kettles, etc. are all acceptable;”

Shen Hao said: "There's no rush. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a cup of tea first."

Now that Yong Jianqiu hasn't made an offer yet, Shen Hao is certainly not in a hurry.

Becker was so anxious to get this big order that he had no appetite for tea.

Not enough. Seeing Shen Hao's lukewarm attitude, he also knew that the other party was comparing himself.

I sat there for half an hour and was reluctant to leave.

The next day, I got the exact news about Shen Hao.

Yong Jianqiu came in a hurry and heard Becker's offer. He said on the spot: "Commander Shen, I won't give you a much lower price for the rifle, but I can give you 200 million rounds of bullets. How about this sincerity?"

It’s just an extra 80,000 yuan, Shen Hao is not interested at all.

So he asked, "What if I want to continue the rifle production line?"

Yong Jianqiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shen Hao to be so ambitious.

After hesitating, he said: "I can't make the decision on this, but a military factory not only has machines, but also designers and technicians, who are valuable talents.

Moreover, a rifle production line is not cheap.

The key point is that Commander Shen does not need a military factory at all at the moment."

I mean, your territory is so small that it can't support 5.

136. Master, I bought ten maids

Shen Hao certainly understood that it would be difficult to run a military factory before becoming the governor.

Because there is someone in charge of you.

However, Yong Jianqiu’s meaning was very simple. The military factory was okay, but it was a bit expensive and not worth it.

So, after much hesitation, Shen Hao signed a big deal worth one million with both parties.

For example, the company represented by Yong Jianqiu, Jiecheng & Co., ordered one million.

20,000 Mauser rifles and 2 million rounds of ammunition.

像贝克尔代表的礼和洋行购买了，马克沁重机枪48挺，230挺轻机枪以及迫击炮、82mm迫击炮48门，150mm重迫击炮24门。

500 pistols, a total of oceans.

The remaining 400,000 oceans were used to purchase mortar shells, bullets, grenades, bayonets, military water bottles, and various other weapons.

The entire division is equipped.

More than four million dollars, and two million dollars went out all at once, it really hurts.

"One hundred and sixty-three" The rest of the money was useless to Shen Hao, as he still had to pay the soldiers. Shen Hao prepared two divisions with 12 people. Even if no one paid four dollars, it would still be dollars a month.

This does not include the consumption of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

All in all, it costs 200,000 yuan a month for taxi, and some money has to be left for pensions and the like.

Money really shouldn't be spent indiscriminately.

At the same time, Shen Hao found a place and started distributing the cement factory rewards from the system.

Originally, Shen Hao thought it was built directly, but he didn't expect that it was also a system reward for talents and construction began day by day.

However, it would take a month to build the cement plant, which Shen Hao could accept.

Everything is going on in full swing.

Now, 20 days have passed since I became the brigade commander, which means that there are only ten days left before the mission deadline.

Currently, among the eight concubines, only Bai Ling, Yuan Fuzhen, Leng Qingqiu and Rui Girl have been found, which means there are still four missing.

Originally, Shen Hao had his eyes on Jin Ruizhi, the fifth daughter of the Jin family. Unexpectedly, this girl had studied abroad and was very arrogant. She told Shen Hao directly that she would never accept polygamy.

As if to prove himself, he even packed up his belongings and went to the provincial capital to start a newspaper.

Bai Xiuzhu had a cold face all day long because Shen Hao had several concubines.

Not only did he refuse to agree to Shen Hao's request, but he also refused to leave and caused trouble for Shen Hao all day long.

Shen Hao was speechless. This rich young lady was really amazing.

There are still ten days left before he has to marry four concubines. Shen Hao feels very stressed.

Just then, Hu Xueli ran over with a smile on her face.

She took Shen Hao's arm affectionately and said, "Master, I have something to tell you."

Shen Hao asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"It's like this, we are pregnant and it's inconvenient for us to do things, so I plan to buy a maid for each of us and let them take care of us during this period of time."

"I was negligent about this. The maid should have bought it earlier. Do you need to tell me such a small matter?" Shen Hao said;

"Master, don't I have good news for you?" Hu Xueli said with a smile;
