"I still underestimated the power of the butterfly effect! The foreign devils' determination to be powerful is much greater than they imagined!"

With his fingers flicked the equipment purchase list from various countries, Yang Hao expressed his sincere feelings.n∈

He still underestimated how huge his series of tricks had on the great powers.

Just taking this batch of shipbuilding equipment that started delivering, the delayed delivery time of six months did not make the foreigners lose patience. Instead, after testing all samples day and night, countries burst into unprecedented enthusiasm for purchasing.

In the open port of Shanghai stipulated by the military government, members of the Western business delegation booked a hotel and used all their means to entertain Sheng Xuanhuai, who was responsible for foreign trade. The only purpose was to get domestic orders originally supplied to the provinces in Jiangnan from him and try to suppress competitors from other countries.

For all countries, even if they can win one-tenth of the product and defer the delivery time of other opponents for three months, it may create a huge leading advantage in the shipbuilding competition. In today's situation where the world's colonies have been divided up, it is inevitable that countries will rob each other of their colonies in order to support their increasingly large financial expenditures.

If you want to win in the war, you will undoubtedly have to take the lead in naval construction first. At present, nothing is more important than getting the support of China first.

The foreigners were not afraid of the arrogant and rudeness of the past. The specially selected representatives were all impressed by the Pacific Ocean. They not only learned blunt Chinese, but also smiled at the business executives at any time. Their traits were really uncomfortable with Chinese staff who were used to seeing foreigners' nostrils.

They were also very uncomfortable.

In order to achieve their goals, the foreigners booked hotels and nightclubs and dance halls. Inviting them to eat, drink and have fun all day long is the most basic activity. Almost three meals a day, the restaurants of the restaurants of the foreign horses and golden silk cats from all over the country are always with them and tossing and doing whatever they want.

The clerks thought this little life was great at first. Yang Hao had clear instructions to them. Given the particularity of his work, they were allowed to accept foreigners' invitations and a certain amount of bribes. However, no one was allowed to disclose sensitive information privately, and he could not agree to certain requests from the other party in private.

In a word, the sugar-coated shells are shot and peeled off the sugar-coated shells. It is okay to eat, drink, play, and play. Only you cannot bring the physical items home, and you are not allowed to roll the sheets with the Ocean Horse Golden Wire Cat. This is the final bottom line. Whoever touches them will be prepared to accept inquiries and even sanctions from the Anti-Bribery Investigation Bureau.

Those who anti-bribery were all killers from the battlefield. They did not recognize anyone except Yang Hao's orders. They took action ruthlessly and decisively, with the style of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei and the Qing Dynasty Blood Drops.

The bureaucrats and civil servants in the government were frightened by this. This is because these guys not only have training from the 21st century, but also have various equipment from different time and space. Such as wireless eavesdropping devices, wireless surveillance devices, remote-controlled aircraft aerial photography, and even closed-circuit surveillance in prescribed negotiation sites.

They can reveal the whispers they say in private at any time. There are even photos to prove it. After several actions, the agents of the Anti-Bribery Bureau became famous and were terrified when they heard it.

It's really scary. Think about it, it's obviously a private word that two people say in bed, and there is absolutely no place to hide people on all sides. As a result, they can even put all their photos out and record the words they pass on from word to word. Is this a way that people can have?

This group of murderers was established from the original internal guards. They were punished by the original business intelligence. They were agile martial arts masters and green forest heroes as backbones. They were inculcated by revolutionary ideas and determined through war baptism. Under the leadership of a young scholar who hated evil and regarded Yang Hao as a great mentor, they created a powerful organization that kept the number of people confidential, the office space and the working methods were kept confidential, and even the persons under investigation could not see their figures in the end. They became the sword of Damocles, which has always been hanging above the heads of military bureaucrats.

To this day, not only the bureaucrats and civil servants on the military government territory, but also the Qing court and the Southeast Mutual Protection provinces have rumored these people as monsters and monsters. In particular, the bureaucrats and gentry who committed numerous crimes, the local tyrants and evil gentry, are worried that they will be settled by the revolutionary government in the future. They are all trembling and have to carefully restrain their usual domineering. Some even simply pack their luggage and are ready to flee abroad at any time.

The civil servants from the Foreign Trade Department were ordered to invite them. As long as the fence was tightened, there was no need to worry too much about mistakes.

But they didn't expect that the foreigners were too determined. Seeing that these people were willing to go into the water, they were overjoyed, so they donated generously. Seeing Tian'er's troubles, these guys finally couldn't stand the appetite.

No matter how good the delicacies are, or how wonderful the wine and food are, they can’t hold back the three meals a day. Except for working hours, almost all their spare time is occupied, and their wives and children at home are not cared about, and they are embarrassed to pay for public food in time. Can this be done?

When Sheng Xuanhuai saw that it was really not a problem, he quickly wrote a report to Yang Hao and applied for a temporary suspension. If this continues, his large group of backbone personnel will be scrapped.

Yang Hao had other plans and replied with a breeze and snow: "China has suffered from the great powers for a long time and has suffered humiliation for fifty years. Now that we can avenge our previous shame, you should continue to work hard on behalf of the billions of citizens and let out a strong anger. At present, the country cannot start a full war with the great powers for the time being. Your foreign trade and diplomatic work is the battlefield. We must be cautious and impatient and persist in courageously."

Sheng Xuanhuai is the most intelligent person today. After thinking about it, he understood Yang Hao's thoughts. However, he was unable to get on the verge of being on the verge of Li Hongzhang. He could only grit his teeth and stand up to death, secretly observing his silence for his subordinates.

That’s right, the backbone personnel in the foreign trade sector today are basically the confidants that Sheng Xuanhuai has brought up over the years.

When he was working for the Qing Dynasty, he used his position to insert a large number of his own people into it, gradually replacing the greedy and stupid bureaucrats, and gradually mastering the entire Steam Merchants Corporation. According to the established development route, such official enterprises will inevitably suffer losses for years. He seized the opportunity to embezzle the huge assets with billions of profits into private ownership.

After the Revolutionary Army controlled the Yangtze River shipping, it also accepted a series of Westernization achievements established by the Qing court. Sheng Xuanhuai judged the situation, gave up continuing to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, politely refused Zhang Zhidong's recruitment, and followed Li Hongzhang's suggestion to join Yang Hao.

As expected, Yang Hao used his talent to put the entire foreign trade under his jurisdiction. In the new government structure, he was a minister at the ministerial level. The next step was to be the elders in the front row. Especially in the current situation, he was directly responsible for manipulating the extortion trade against the great powers, and the interests were immeasurable.

Sheng Xuanhuai was still selfish. He was purely inertial instinct and wanted to build the entire foreign trade department into his own private territory and connect the country. Therefore, after taking office, he immediately inserted his previous backbones into his own, controlling his main departments and main businesses.

Yang Hao seemed to be unable to see it at all, and let him play with power tricks. However, in the strategic material foreign trade operation that was suddenly launched last year, he deliberately delegated power on the spot, but suddenly took action to take over the smuggling force led by Ye Yongtai.

Among them, a considerable number of Sheng Xuanhuai's confidants were involved. They relied on their position to easily tamper with order sorting, intercepted equipment for other customers, and even used the old relationship of the China Merchants Steam Company to openly transport bulk goods to Guangzhou.

Once the case was revealed, these people were immediately arrested. They used their power for personal gain and risked selling off national interests. Such a big hat would immediately take their lives.

Sheng Xuanhuai felt so distressed that he was so heartbroken that he couldn't do it. This was like cutting off half of his left and right arm!

But he didn't dare to say anything. Yang Hao was really right, and his confidants were also too bold. In his heart, those people subconsciously regarded the military government as a black presence like the Qing government, and ended up hitting the gun.

In the next six months, the official foreign business activities were officially launched, and the civil servants had to do it after Yang Hao's order.

Sheng Xuanhuai was worried and quickly sounded the alarm for everyone in advance, so he must not let someone catch the handle.

As a result, it was useless to say it! The foreigners unexpectedly let go of their figures and did not hesitate to invest capital. The people ate, drank, played and held them all day long, but they could not put them in their pockets. Even if they received bribes from the foreigners, they had to hand over to their public.

It is conceivable that a group of bureaucrats who are used to pretending to be public and private are like mice that fall into a rice jar but are not allowed to slap in their mouths. The torture that is heart-wrenching is really not something that humans suffer.

After half a year, even the strongest bureaucrats could not stand it. So at the beginning of this year's delivery period, representatives of the great powers launched a more violent attack on sugar-coated shells, and finally many people couldn't stand it.

A considerable number of people who took the initiative to ask for help from being civil servants, and many people who wanted to be transferred to other departments were also very determined. However, they were baptized and were not invaded by all poisons. They no longer had sex with Shan and became an extremely firm member of Yang Hao's command.

Sheng Xuanhuai looked down and saw that he had been betrayed by his relatives and became the commander of the bare hands. The vacant position was replaced by Yang Hao's so proud and experienced newcomers. The entire Foreign Trade Department was completely renewed, but it was difficult to become his family anymore.

After this, the external institutions in the entire Shanghai beach were completely straightened out, and Yang Hao's intelligence channels were completely unblocked. Therefore, the abnormal actions of the foreign devils could be conveyed to his desk at any time, allowing him to easily judge the changes in the situation in various countries without any effort.

The 30,000-ton battleships that attacked the Philippines and Japan last year were unprecedentedly stimulating the great powers. Countries have officially put the planned full-bomb battleships on the desk several years in advance. Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries were eager to start construction even in the winter of 1896.

Almost all of them are limited to conditions, and it is impossible to build a guy as big as 30,000 tons at the beginning. All countries have invested in the construction of the mandate within a displacement of 20,000 tons.

A brand new powerful warship and brand new technical requirements must be achieved in the shortest time, which is not something that can be solved in three or two months. After the drawings came out, countries determined that their industrial capabilities could not be solved, so they had to grit their teeth and take out real money and buy it from Yang Hao.

In order to seize the initiative, countries gave up disguising and directly customized equipment and parts according to the design drawings. This includes power systems that occupy the big head, steam turbines and heat pipe boilers with specified power, and even transmission mechanisms and propellers. These are all parts that are time-consuming to build and require extremely high materials, processing accuracy and processing equipment.

The second is the steel needed to build warships. Countries still adopt riveting technology and simply clarify the size and performance indicators of each part of the steel plate in the order. There is no industry-wide steel specification in this era. And the warships are all top secrets. They can only choose according to the technical specifications provided by Yang Hao before.

All countries have also made their promises and even placed orders, including armored steel. In this way, as long as experienced shipbuilding engineers calculate the order, they will know the general shape and displacement of warships of various countries, and even estimate the speed, airworthiness and other data after they are completed.

To be even more exaggerated, Yang Hao could have taken it to this world, and asked Fatty Liu and his experts to draw drawings to create models, conduct sink experiments to simulate a blowout tunnel... Basically, what kind of performance these warships can actually perform, how much maneuverability can be carried out in battle at a speed of how much speed can they be carried out, and how much roll will be caused by using a naval gun to fire.

Know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!

Yang Hao thought again that this might be a conspiracy made by the foreigners. I just let you know that you want to build these things, and you can judge the performance if you have the ability to see if you are afraid at that time! It doesn’t matter if you are really not afraid. As long as we mislead you, we can understand the technology of various key equipment in private and then design and build a brand new warship, we can turn our heads and give a heavy blow.

Yang Hao was just thinking deeply by inertia. But in fact, he was thinking too much.

The great powers who have fallen into persecution paranoia have reached an outrageous level of madness towards obtaining advanced warships. In order to actually have powerful warships, they no longer care whether Yang Hao knows the performance indicators. The real purpose of these warships is to compete among the great powers!

Subconsciously, countries do not regard China as a rival to global competition. In their eyes, they only have enemies that are close to each other and have been entangled with grudges from generation to generation. There are endless tearing between Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the mysterious and meaningful things.

In February 1897, Yang Hao saw the results of the evaluation of the order warships of the great powers, and the blueprint outlined accordingly, completed by Xu Jianyin and Jiao Hai.

The British added two orders based on the previous two warships. Their tonnage is basically the same, and the power system, armor protection and other parts are almost the same as the previous one. However, after taking back the world to further model, Fatty Liu asserted that this thing must have changed.

Referring to the history of the dreadnought in this world, Yang Hao estimated that the two batches of four warships in total should be "Defensive" and "Borelofon Class". However, after completion, it will be the same as before, but I dare not say that this is because the performance of the host system that the British finally obtained must be better than that provided by Parson. The steel and pipe parts used by the warships are also better, and the overall strength is likely to be higher.

This will inevitably cause trouble for himself in the future, but Yang Hao is not worried about being challenged. A strengthened enemy can only be pleasing to the eye when fighting!

The Germans' work is very surprising! In addition to the high-end equipment that they introduced before, including 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, they also added 200-ton cranes and gantry cranes, and boldly introduced gas cutting and welding process equipment, and purchased the patent rights for the entire series.

In addition, the second batch of orders is as many as four! The assessed warship displacement is basically the same as that of the UK. This means that the Germans will catch up with the number of British main ships at one time.

In addition, Krupp also repurchased the naval gun technology of the two ships in Dingzhen. In this way, they could directly obtain the key technology of a 45-diameter 305mm dual turret. They also included a gun mount and a retreat and re-advance mechanism. In this way, the newly built four main battleships will directly have battleships that exceed all current German standards.

What made the Germans overjoyed was that Yang Hao actually agreed! Not only did he agree, he also promised to dismantle the four eight main guns on the two ships in Dingzhen to sell them!

Major General Tirpitz, who came to negotiate in secret, was so happy. At the private celebration party held by the delegation, he could not suppress his excitement and declared to his colleagues: "The two warships we are building can immediately replace eight amazingly powerful heavy artillery to replace the 280mm main artillery in the design! Gentlemen, we will be one step ahead of the British!"

In an instant, the German naval generals and captains who came to China burst into tears! Once upon a time, they also had the opportunity to surpass the British and take the lead!

Not only that, Krupp III, who also came to negotiate in person, promised that they would fully understand the series of Chinese 305mm artillery technologies in the shortest time. When the new first-class battleship was designed, they would definitely have the world's strongest main gun produced by Krupp and be installed on it!

Speaking of which, the fact that the dignified Krupp was actually overtaken by artillery is still a Chinese who has always been a big customer is quite unacceptable. With the stubbornness of the Germans, they hope to study it themselves and never buy it out.

However, German Emperor William II could not wait. He could not stand Germany's lack of powerful battleships and could not compete with Britain and France in the sea. If the Far East colonies could not get, then snatch them directly from Britain and France! He had already made up his mind to challenge Britain's hegemony. Now it is rare for the British to suffer a head-on blow from China. Everyone is on the same starting line. If Germany doesn't seize the opportunity to overtake, when will it last?

So, if Krupp bought a naval gun and privately hoped that Yang Hao would not sell it, it would be natural to convince the German Emperor to use the 40-fold diameter 280mm they created to support it first.

But Yang Hao has already gotten into the eyes of money and wishes to use the existing things to empty the vaults of the great powers. In addition, the two ships of Dingzhen have completed their historical missions, and will be used as training ships and test ships to test other caliber turret platforms. It is no pity to sell them.

In addition, the slow French and Italians were obviously unambitious. They were just worried about being jealous of Yang Hao, so they had to force themselves to join the ship purchase operation. The orders they had been sent unexpectedly were not the full main gun standard of the dreadnought, which made Yang Hao a little unhappy.

But no matter what, after his trouble, we can foresee that in this summer, there will be more than a dozen battleships outfitted on the oceans of Europe. Think about it, it will be inexplicable! (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
