Chapter 172: Transaction

After more than ten days of fighting, the sky finally cleared up, and the Xu Mansion became safe. Although more than two feet deep of water were accumulated in the city, the embankment was preserved and there was no large-scale collapse of the house. Several small mountain villages leaving Pingshan were affected by mudslides, and the rest were not damaged. Good news came from other areas such as Luzhou, and Qiao Yu finally relaxed.

He stayed in the rain for more than ten days, and Qiao Yu had to go into battle himself at a critical moment. His shoulders had been pressed red and swollen. Lu Wanqing was applying swelling medicine to him at this time.

"After all, I am a patrol officer, a full rank of officials. As for how hard he works? I don't know how to cherish my body!" Lu Wanqing criticized Qiao Yu while applying medicine.

"Oh, think I'm sorry, isn't this forced? If I don't stand up, those bureaucrats may not have been hiding wherever they go. Once there is a mistake, there will be hundreds of thousands of refugees. When you talk about that, how can I build Sichuan!"

"Building is not a day or two, but those great powers have accumulated for decades and hundreds of years, and some things cannot be anxious!"

Qiao Yu sighed slightly: "I'm still slow. Now the two major European groups are expanding their troops to prepare for war. Maybe one day they will get fire. If we can buy some guns, ammunition, clothing, food, etc., then, will Sichuan's economy develop? As the saying goes, once a cannon is fired, it's good to drink some soup. These foreigners have bullied us for so long, so we will temporarily collect some interest!"

"Since I was a child, I saw foreigners domineering here. It is a good thing to let them learn a lesson. However, when I was studying abroad, I saw that the people of the great powers were not that comfortable. Most people had to work hard in exchange for a little income and barely make a living. And many of them were still very kind. If they were involved in the war, I was afraid I would not know how many people would die!"

While talking, someone came to report that the German Consul General Wei Si and Rudendolf came to visit together. Qiao Yu felt a move in his heart and hurriedly tidy up his clothes to greet him.

"Sir, Consul General, why did you come to Xu Mansion? I'm just about to meet Chengdu. Can you talk to Chengdu if you have anything to do?"

Wei Si shrugged slightly: "The military situation is like fire, and some people can't wait!" After saying that, he glanced at Ludendolf, who looked grim: "Joe, I have some things that need to be discussed urgently!"

"Please inside!" Qiao Yu led the two of them to the reception room. There was no change on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart. It seemed that Ludendorf was well-known and was a person who knew the goods. He showed some new tactics and new equipment on the edge of Sichuan. It seemed that he had attracted Ludendorf's attention. The rest was how to sell it at a good price.

Ludendorf led the German Observatory Group to join the Sichuan Army to fight the rebellion, and saw some of the Sichuan Army's tactics. There were several things that firmly attracted Ludendorf's attention. First of all, it was the aircraft. Although this newly emerging weapon was still very simple and could only be used for reconnaissance, the prospects were absolutely broad. After owning the aircraft, the battlefield was no longer flat, but became three-dimensional. The technological changes were inevitably changed in the way of war, which was worth studying.

The use of mortars and grenades also made Ludendolf's eyes lit up. He once discovered during the military flag deduction that Germany was likely to fall into a stalemate. These two weapons can effectively increase grassroots firepower and are very effective in breaking through trenches. In addition, the Sichuan Army's multi-functional infantry shovel also refreshed Ludendolf.

In addition, the use of the Sichuan Army Special Forces made Ludendolf stunned. Speaking of which, Germany has not experienced many wars since the Franco-Prussian War. Things like weapons and tactics need to be tested in practice. It is not possible to build cars behind closed doors. Therefore, Germany is willing to sell Mauser rifles to China, just to see what effect this weapon can have in actual combat...

The special forces showed unparalleled advantages in reconnaissance, search, destruction, arrest, etc. Ludendorf increasingly recognized the huge impact of such small and capable soldiers on the battlefield. Of course, what the Sichuan Army did was still very rough, and it could even be said to be primitive. Of course, this is closely linked to China's national strength. There has been almost no backward country in history that can have an invincible army.

The army is a concentrated reflection of national strength, but these new changes of the Sichuan Army also represent great value. If Germany can learn from it, it will definitely be able to carry forward the country with its national strength. In this way, the hope of defeating Britain and France will be greater. Therefore, Rudendolf wrote all the thoughts into a report and quickly sent a secret telegram to the German side. The German government also attached great importance to this. They also knew that war would happen at any time and must be prepared before the war broke out. The German government immediately issued an order to Rudendolf, asking him to sell all the new weapons and new equipment in Sichuan to Germany no matter what. For this reason, Germany is willing to offer huge benefits.

Ludendorf was also a workaholic. He hurriedly returned from Tibet and found Wei Si. After a simple discussion, the two came to Xu Mansion to find Qiao Yu. They were already a little impatient.

Qiao Yu was holding the list set by Rudendolf at this time. The Germans had a good vision and wanted a lot of things, including experience in aircraft manufacturing and use, special forces training methods, grenades, mortars, engineer shovel techniques, machine gun usage experience, mountain troops training methods, etc. At the same time, he also asked to send a group of officers to China for military experience exchange.

It can be said that Rudendolf saw all the parts Qiao Yu wanted him to see, so he should sell these things at a good price, and he would never be cheaper for the Germans!

"Senior, it is logical that Germany has helped us a lot. I should not refuse any requests. However, some things are things that our Sichuan Army has under the hood. They cannot be handed over to outsiders at will. Please forgive me!"

"Joe, Germany is willing to pay the price, it's not a waste of time. Just talk about whatever you want. I will do my best to lobby the German government!"

When Wei Si heard this, he was filled with dark lines. This man was really a pure soldier. He didn't know how to know diplomatic things? After saying this, he was slaughtered after being dealt with several times. Wei Sike knew that Qiao Yu was definitely not a good person. He was a typical ruthless man. Therefore, he smiled and said, "Joe, we have a deep friendship. The German government is very willing to support the development of Sichuan. What exchange conditions are needed? Let's discuss together and you will not suffer any losses!"

"Both, we are all good friends, we should be honest with our friends. The things Mr. Ludendolf wants are the capital for the Sichuan Army to save their lives. It is really impossible to explain it if you take them out casually. I hope Germany can focus on supporting Sichuan to establish some factories, such as mining, metallurgy, materials, processing, machine manufacturing, chemistry, electronics, internal combustion engines, etc., and also upgrade the Sichuan arsenal, and at the same time hand over the production technology of Mauser rifles and cannons to Sichuan, and at the same time help Sichuan train a group of technical workers!"
