"Everyone, do you have any questions?"

Because there were not enough women and were afraid of causing trouble to the brothers under his command, he ran to Washington to hide in leisure... Guo Jinzhang would not say this to Cleveland people, even if the other party might be very clear about the serious imbalance in Tangzhou's men and women. He could only be surrounded by the problem of the Jun ship.

"Of course there are questions."

The meeting location has been moved from the Blue Hall to the Oval Office, and Minister Whitney has just arrived. Sdicott and Bayard have already told him everything they had just said, but as soon as he finished hearing this, Minister Jun rushed to Guo Jinzhang:

"Why don't you provide this kind of steam turbine to the government? Why don't you report this kind of steam turbine to the government?"

"Why should I tell you?" Guo Jinzhang asked back.

"because……"

Why? Whitney opened his mouth, but had nothing to say. This is not a public occasion. Who can't know what the situation is? Tangzhou finally produced an amazing scientific research result and gave it to the zhèng Mansion. Could it be that the zhèng Mansion could drive a speeding warship to Seattle? Although Seattle is basically solid now, and there are more than a dozen super cannons with a caliber of more than 400mm to guard the coast, Tangzhou is not only Seattle near the sea, but it is located near the sea.

"Then what conditions do you need to hand over this technology to the zhèng Mansion?" Cleveland was unwilling to talk nonsense. He knew that since Guo Jinzhang came to Washington, it was impossible for him to simply explain the reason to them, and he would definitely have other intentions. Now it seems that this guy obviously wanted to use the power equipment that can greatly increase the speed of the flight to exchange for something. Since that's the case, he might as well go straight... Anyway, this is still a formal occasion, and he can regret whatever he said.

"Haha, is there anything here in the zhèng Mansion that can be exchanged for our technology?" Guo Jinzhang asked with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Hendrisk asked dissatisfied.

"My meaning is very simple, that is: we are actually not lacking anything." Guo Jinzhang still smiled.

“…”

The group of people in Cleveland were shocked. There is nothing missing, so what are you doing? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that Tangzhou really has nothing missing... There are few people and no shortage of food. Even if Tangzhou is not suitable for large-scale agricultural planting, they still have the wēn Gehuá area. Moreover, the agriculture in Tangzhou seems to have begun to mechanize. One person can plant hundreds or thousands of acres of land. Even if the grain trade between them is cut off from each other, they cannot do anything to others. Secondly, Tangzhou's industrial development is also good, with few people and not many cities, so the electricity is basically popular, and the machinery industry is still in the first place... In addition, the force is not weak, so in a short time, they are the only ones who bully people on the east coast of the Pacific, and there is no possibility of others bullying them.

...

"Then what are you doing? Just show us your advancedness?" Whitney couldn't help but angrily. Just now, Sdicott and Bayard conveyed the information revealed by Guo Jinzhang to him, and he knew that something big was going to happen. Even Sdicott, a guy from the mainland, knew that a "epoch-making" description was added to the "Fearless" class. How could he, the real sea jun, not knowing that once the "Fearless" class battleship was officially launched, hundreds of various battleships that were active in the oceans around the world would immediately fall behind? At that time, the British's maritime power will be further strengthened and the position of the sea dam master will be consolidated again... This may seem nothing on the surface. No matter how strong the sea jun is, the jun ships cannot drive on land. Moreover, the United States

He didn't have the idea of ​​fighting, but he just wandered around North America and couldn't mess with the other party. But if he just looked at it this way, then the Minister of the Sea was not qualified at all... How could he put his hope on the enemy and on the wishful thinking of the enemy not provoking him? Moreover, with the British style of work, if their sea really has an overwhelming advantage, they would allow this advantage to gradually disappear over time? Even if they would not invade the United States, they would definitely borrow a more powerful sea to plunder the interests of the United States. At that time, what should they do if they watched helplessly? They still rushed forward and were beaten into pieces by the British's powerful warships?...

"I'm here to explain the reason." Guo Jinzhang shrugged: "The British make jun ships for us. We should still be clear about this issue, so as not to avoid some people saying that we collude with the British and harm the interests of the United States of America. Then we are at a disadvantage?"

"Don't you harm the interests of the United States of America now?" Whitney shouted, "Don't you know how great the significance it will be to the increase in the strength of the British sea jun when it is built? And how great the threat to our interests in the Atlantic?"

"Does America have any interests in the Atlantic Ocean?" Guo Jinzhang asked back, "We have not yet started a war with the Spaniards, and Cuba is not ours."

"Mr. Guo," Cleveland breathed a little deeper, "I don't want to go around the corner with you. Tell me, what are your conditions? Or what do you need us to do to hand over this steam turbine technology?"

"But I hope you'd better not open your mouth too wide. You should know that since we already know the existence of this technology, with the technological power of the United States, we will definitely be able to copy it out. All that remains is just a matter of time." Hendrisk added.

"Of course I believe that the power of the United States can bring the steam turbine back, and it doesn't even take much time. So, I really don't plan to use this technology to trade with you..."

"real?"

"Of course it's fake."

"you……"

"Just kidding, let's liven up the atmosphere." Guo Jinzhang smiled, suddenly stood up from the sofa with a "rubbing" and walked to Cleveland's desk.

"What do you want to do?" Cleveland sat upright on his chair and looked at the guy. Although he was sure that this guy would not be bad for him, his body still tensed unselfishly.

"Take the opportunity to smoke." Guo Jinzhang shrugged and smiled at him again. Then, he opened the cigar box on his desk, pulled out one from it, and then cut it... After a series of hands, the cigar cigarette was held in his mouth.

"Do you know how much this cigar costs?" Cleveland's nose was almost pissed. What is this guy thinking about this place? Is his own home? The President feels that he has been seriously insulted by Guo Jinzhang.

"No matter how much money, I won't pay the bill." Guo Jinzhang sipped out a string of smoke rings, "because the US government will gain more than imagined benefits in the next period of time, and these benefits will be for me to smoke cigars for the rest of my life."

"What the hell do you want to do?" Bayard was also a little annoyed. His large group of people were actually surrounding this brat... And this guy seemed to be less than thirty years old. God, where have they lived at such age?

"We can provide the technology of steam turbines to the government, and even we can provide all the technologies we have about the Fearless Class battleships." Guo Jinzhang said.

"real?"

"certainly……"

"Um?"

"It's true."

"call……"

A relaxed exhalation sounded in the Oval Office. As a result, the sound made everyone present, except Guo Jinzhang, feel a wave of heat in their faces... It's so embarrassing. What a big deal? He was actually influenced by this kid.

"What do you want?" Cleveland calmed down his shame and anger, and asked Guo Jinzhang. The guys in Tangzhou would definitely not give up such important and advanced technology so easily. They must have something else. Although they don't understand what it means to "not show off a rabbit or not" without seeing a rabbit, the President has a clear understanding of this...

"Fleet." Guo Jinzhang said lightly.

"Don't think about it!" Whitney jumped up suddenly.

"Listen to me." Guo Jinzhang pressed his hands and signaled the Minister of the Sea to rest assured, "What I want is a state-owned coast guard, so its size does not need to be very large..."

"Two new 10,000-ton battleships, you still say that they are not big at this scale? Do you want to be angry with the Chinese on the other side of the Pacific?" Whitney snorted coldly. The Qing Dynasty on the other side of the Pacific had only a displacement of 7,000 tons, but in this way, they are still the largest and most threatening warships in Asia. Compared with China, Tangzhou is just a province qualification. It actually has battleships with displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and it is also the latest, epoch-making battleships... Coast Guard? If the Qing navy members heard this name, I don't know if they would be shy or angry.

"There are indeed a little more of the two fearless class ships... But what if I give up one to the sea jun?" Guo Jinzhang asked lightly.

"……rub!"

He was stunned for a moment, and then Whitney rushed to him with a quick step.

"You, what did you say?"

"I said, I can give up a dreadnought to the Minister of Haijun, qin's love." Guo Jinzhang smiled faintly.

"Are you kidding?" Sdicott couldn't help but stare and scream.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Guo Jinzhang glanced at him, "Or, do you think such a thing can be used as a joke?"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that, I just..." Sdicott stammered, not knowing what to say.

"...Mr. Guo, are you sure what you said just now? Are you really planning to send a dreadnought to Haijun?" Cleveland also stood up from his chair. The dreadnought, although it has not been officially launched, is obviously the most advanced battleship in the world, and its combat effectiveness will be extremely terrifying... Whitney even whispered to him just now, saying that once the Chinese have these two battleships, they can hold them with just a few cruisers as auxiliary. He has the ability to compete with the Atlantic Fleet of America, and even the other party has an advantage... Therefore, Minister Haijun told him that if he could not obtain the most critical power equipment technology, he would rather risk his confrontation with Tangzhou than let the other party obtain these two battleships. Now, Guo Jinzhang not only promised to hand over all the skills he had about the dreadnoughts, but also planned to give up one battleship... The wind also turned too fast.

"Of course it's true." Guo Jinzhang looked at several people innocently, "Our Tangzhou has always been selfless. Since its establishment, have you seen us endanger the interests of the United States of America?"

"you……"

Have you been less harmful? Cleveland and others looked at each other. How could this person be so shameless? Because how much has happened in Tangzhou in recent years? Do you dare to say that you have not harmed the interests of the United States? Don’t you know that the existence of Tangzhou itself is the greatest harm to the interests of the United States of America?

"I know what you are thinking. But you think about it with your own conscience. How much benefit has the United States gained from Tangzhou since its founding? Compared with a mere piece of land, and with the various violations of national laws, social morality and…"

"Okay, Mr. Guo, we know what you want to say. Can we not say this?" Cleveland quickly stopped Guo Jinzhang. He didn't want to listen anymore. This guy was simply holding a criticism meeting, even planning to treat his office as a courtroom, and then use their group as defendants to charge him... He would not allow such a thing to happen no matter what. At least he could not allow it when he was in office. As for whether there would be such unlucky bullets in the future, that would be the unlucky bullets in the future...

"The president is right. There is already a public opinion on the past. The United States and the people have paid enough for it... It would be meaningless to mention these." Hendrisk breathed a deep breath. He felt that Guo Jinzhang was very arrogant. Now the Red Sèbing Group is in Washington, and this guy dares to say these things in the president's office... If he hadn't been afraid of his own chances, he would really want to beat this kid. But then again, their vigilance and hostility towards Tangzhou would not be able to be taken out of the blue. Yes, otherwise, it would give Tangzhou a chance to split and excuse... If it were in the past, they might have hoped that Tangzhou would choose **, so they could start fighting directly. But now, let alone whether they can fight or not, even if they can fight, the Chinese went to the UK, and the other people have just made significant progress, they would definitely suffer a big loss. Moreover, the Chinese who retreated to Brother WUN would definitely not be good at rest... At that time, the United States would have to fight on the east and west fronts, and in the end, even if they didn't, they would have to drag their skin...

"Okay, don't mention these." Guo Jinzhang waved his hand, "We provide the Zhèng Mansion with some of the relevant core technologies of the dreadnoughts we have mastered to help the Zhèng Mansion transform the existing jun ships and build new warships... But the Zhèng Mansion must order relevant materials according to the list of suppliers we provide."

"We can agree to this." Cleveland considered it for a while and nodded. As early as when Tangzhou was first established, the Chinese had already begun to extend their hands to various industries in the United States and had close cooperative relations with many industrial and commercial giants. Therefore, although ordering relevant materials according to the list provided by the other party would make Tangzhou profitable, the more they earned were large enterprises. Those large enterprises were controlled by white people, and their strength was enhanced, so naturally the strength of the United States itself was increasing.

"We transfer a Fearless Class Battleship to Haijun, and the zhèng Mansion should also allow us to establish the Tangzhou Coast Guard..."

"We have to take this..."

"We hope that the commander of this coast guard is Colonel Alfred Saymahan!" Guo Jinzhang said immediately after looking at Bayard, who was about to refuse.

"I agree." Whitney hurriedly agreed in front of the Secretary of State. The commander of the Tangzhou Coast Guard was a white colonel under his command, which was a victory no matter what. Moreover, it was extremely beneficial for the Sea Department to control the Coast Guard.

"Okay, we agree, too." Cleveland and the others looked at each other and nodded. If you don't agree to such a good thing, it's a sprinkler.

"In addition, the activities of the Spanish in South America have led to the civil war in Venezuela. At present, the Colombian team has used the excuse to chase and suppress the remnants of the Spanish and occupy one-third of Venezuela's territory. Therefore, we hope that the government can be the first to recognize the Greater Colombian Republic at some time in the future and establish corresponding diplomatic relations with it... Of course, in contrast, the government will obtain some economic preferential treatment in Venezuela today." Guo Jinzhang said again.

"It seems that you are really thinking about tun and the entire Venezuela. But since a big Colombian Republic will be established in the end, why should we limit ourselves to the scope of Venezuela, rather than the entire Big Colombia region?" Bayard asked dissatisfied.

"Because Colombia is afraid of the United States." Guo Jinzhang smiled.

"This is not a reason..." Hendrisk shook his head...

"This is a reason." Guo Jinzhang said.

"We need to consider this. After all, the Greater Colombia Republic has not been established yet, and Venezuela is still a top country." Cleveland said.

"Yes." Guo Jinzhang nodded.

"Is there anything else?" Cleveland asked again.

"Of course there is. But this last item is purely needed help from the zhèng Mansion, or support." Guo Jinzhang said with a smile.

"Tell me." The Cleveland God was solemn. The few items mentioned by Guo Jinzhang just made the mansion very cheap. Not only could they get a powerful fleet to a certain extent, but they could also extend their hands to South America... Although he is a supporter of isolationism, it is naturally impossible to turn away such things that can be beneficial without much effort. In that case, these people in the country would not let him go. However, is Guo Jinzhang the kind of person who only gives benefits but does not repay? Obviously not. Since the other party has stated that this last item is purely for the help of the mansion, then this must be the other party's purpose, and he cannot ignore it.

"The Qing Dynasty's government is going to build a railway, and our representatives have taken it down... but we hope that the railway will eventually be undertaken by the government." Guo Jinzhang said lightly.

"Railway?" And it's a railway in China. This is a good thing. Why did this guy let it go again? Cleveland glanced at the others, but in the end, the others also had a solemn expression.

"Yes, the railway. And it already has its name, it is called the South Manchuria Railway!"
