"Is it really possible for 18 months?" Mummer said for the first time. The importance of the Baghdad Railway is known to any diplomat. For this, Berlin diplomats walked countless times between European cities such as Istanbul, London, Rome, Vienna, etc. for this, for the sake of repeated competition. Now, it has finally come to an end. The high cost comes from threats and destruction of the Allies, and the long construction cycle, which makes this railway far away.↖But now, in a strange country, in the hands of people he did not expect, he has obtained such an agreement, which is more or less a dreamy feeling.

"That's right!" Boldo nodded solemnly, pointed to the back of the document, and said, "There are detailed parts behind it, all provided by Baotou!"

The following content is just a list, from rails to sleepers, to cement, sand, and stones, and other essential items for railway construction. These thoughts do every construction process. After Mu Mo finished reading it, he said twilightly: "Can Baotou really do all this?"

"Of course I believe it. When I was about to leave Baotou, I accepted President Yang's invitation and went to visit Baiyun Obo's steel base. Do you know that Baotou has begun to improve the steelmaking furnace, with an amazing speed, 36 large 150t steelmaking furnaces, which can be produced 17 times a day."

17 times, Mumo was stunned. The 21 150t were equivalent to 3150 tons at a time, 17 times a day, almost 54,000 tons per day. In this way, a white steel has an annual output of 15 million tons, and the newly built Taisteel, even if it is only one-third of Baosteel. 5 million tons is more than enough. With Germany's strong industrial production and industrial quality, the steelmaking enterprises with more than 10 million tons still cannot reach it. 10 million tons is no longer a reason for scale, and it represents many problems in many aspects.

What Boldo said should be true. Baotou really has a steel production capacity of more than 20 million tons. In a sense, it can undertake the construction of a 3,200-kilometer railway line, plus the speed of the construction of the Baotou Railway. In 18 months, it may be possible to really complete the construction of this important railway.

From Mumo's expression, Bordo was shocked. To be honest, he saw with his own eyes that the blast furnace that completed the steelmaking process in less than an hour was also full of surprise. He didn't even believe that it was true. Following the steel water, he entered the hot-rolling workshop and watching the rails forming one by one. Although it was still a primary product, it needed to undergo a certain amount of processing to become a qualified rail, but this was convinced by him.

After a long silence in the office, Bordo finally broke the calm. He said, "So, the northwest can fully support the production of all the materials of the Baghdad Railway. What do you think?"

"We cannot decide the issue of the Baghdad Railway. If Baotou can really confirm that it will be completed in 18 months from the day of construction, then I can help to fight for it."

Bordo was a little excited. The 18-month incident shocked him at the time, but Yang Yuanzhao responded with affirmative response and even promised that half of the funds could be made before the railway was completed. No one would use the money to joke about the Baghdad Railway. They have evaluated the Baghdad Railway in Germany. The fastest speed is 6 years. Conservative estimates are more than 10 years. It is entirely possible. According to the situation estimated by the German think tank, the current world environment is already in the United Kingdom.

It has become a huge difference. Under such a situation of disagreement, the war may soon come, at most three years, or even four years. In this case, the importance of the Baghdad Railway is extremely important. It is an outlet of the Indian Ocean, a place that can transport a large amount of materials, bypassing the powerful Africa, the Suez Canal, and the Mediterranean, which is a great promotion for Germany's material security guarantee. Under such circumstances, Germany will do more.

"I have seen the construction speed of Baotou. In 20 days, the construction of a simple highway of more than 150 kilometers has been completed! They used a lot of machinery to help!"

Everyone knows very well the productivity increased by machinery. This is how Germany has developed, constantly improving production, replacing the original technology with newer technologies, surpassing Britain, which began to rise in the first industrial revolution, and became the first in Europe.

"Your Excellency, the Northwest is willing to advance 50% of the funds, half of the construction is completed, and half of the funds will be paid, and the remaining ones will be paid after passing the acceptance three months!"

"If there is no such intention, I'm afraid there is no possibility of returning to China to fight for it!" Mu Mo said calmly.

In the ambassador's hesitant tone, Bordo noticed that the construction cost of the Baghdad Railway was at least 20% lower than that estimated in China. However, Bordo is not an economist. Many problems cannot be explained by economy. Can a lifeline that plays a huge role in war be described by money? In 6 years, it will definitely not work. In 18 months, no matter how the war runs, it will definitely not be carried out.

Below, we also saw the construction of the port of Basra. The final completion of the road was only 8 months. If at the same time, one and a half years later, in the Indian Ocean and West Asia, Germany will have a huge and important port, which is more important than anything else.

"I'll go back to China in person!" Boldo said solemnly, unlike the ambassador, he was a military officer and an official of the intelligence department. The most important thing is that he was a noble Junker and had a greater influence in Germany than the ambassador. The ambassador just looked at the steel industry in Baotou and saw this situation. He personally participated in the war in the entire business city, watched the new army in Baotou, completely wiped out the three divisions of the Russian ** team. It was just something he saw, which could impress the top leaders of Germany, even the German Emperor William II.

"Okay, you'll go back to China now. I've arranged the fastest warship and everything will be entrusted to you!" Mumo said calmly. After seeing this intention, he decided to support him with all his strength. However, as a diplomat, he was an ordinary diplomat, and his role was very small, so Bordo was different. His background and his family, as long as he did his best, would have a huge impact on this matter. The Baghdad Railway may be an aspect that has a huge impact on the future.

The two diplomats made the decision like this, and even Boldo decided to use the family relationship, which was more or less beyond Yang Yuanzhao's expectations, but he did not completely press the treasure on Boldo and Mumo. The Baghdad Railway is definitely a major event that touched the nerves of England and Germany. It is really hard to say that a Chinese diplomat and military officer could leverage this matter. He told Habi about his intention and asked him to pay attention to cooperating with Boldo and others.

When Habi received Yang Yuanzhao's plan, he was a little surprised. Now, Germany and the United States, with the help of the northwest, belong to a huge multinational enterprise even on the world. However, the sand model in the Middle East was more or less surprised. The Middle East is not the Middle East that was full of gold, and it is just a desert. Although the British perspective has touched the Middle East very early, it is just for the Suez Canal. The Middle East has not yet discovered the huge oil field that can attract the world to the side.

Tianjin Port in February seemed a little lonely. The autumn wind blew and countless fallen leaves fell. No one had ever thought that an event that was very important to China and Germany and was of great importance to it began to sprout from here. The German military officer stationed in China, a very important diplomat in the field of diplomacy, quietly took a destroyer, and quickly left here.

Destroyers, yes, are destroyers. After deciding to return to China, Bordo didn't want to stay for almost a minute. Although Germany's shipping industry has developed very well, the fastest arrival of the warships from China to Germany is in the range of more than 10,000 nautical miles, especially the fastest arrival of warships.

Bordo didn't care too much about the destroyer. If you want to be fast, don't consider any comfort. After arriving in the offshore, he started sailing quickly, almost without considering economic issues. He sailed continuously at a speed of more than 25 knots, and had a journey of more than 10,000 nautical miles. It took less than 20 days to complete it. When Bordo got off the destroyer in a dusty manner, Germany arrived.

Boldo did not hesitate and first entered the General Staff Headquarters. Boldo was just a German martial arts center in China, but his full name was Helmut von Boldo. Yes, he was a member of the Helmut family. Speaking of this name, perhaps no one knew it, but more people probably knew the name Moltch, whether it was the old Moltch or the little Moltch, almost in Germany's military history after 1,800 years, there were these two famous figures among the top 50 people.

Boldo is considered a figure of the Helmut family. Whether it is the old Moltese or the young Moltese, the relationship is a bit far apart. However, no matter how you can stand with relatives and young Moltese, you can also be called uncles. You have certain connections in the military headquarters.

Before coming, he used Mumo's network of relationships with himself to contact the servants of Moltke. With the help of his family, he got the opportunity to meet Moltke. Although it only took 20 minutes, Bordo was full of confidence in this meeting. Finally, after waiting for two and a half hours at the General Staff Headquarters, he was allowed to enter Moltke's office.

Bordo was filled with excitement. When he saw the highest position in this family, the German Army general, one of the leaders of the army, and even a big man who was qualified to decide the entire German process, he felt excited and touched the documents in his hand. He calmed down and walked in with his head held high. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
