Andrew was happy when Liang Cheng came.
Now Liang Cheng is still the chief diplomatic officer of the Chinese people abroad. Although Zhang Yi wants Li Hongzhang to succeed him, Nai Lao Li has never promised Liang Cheng, and he knows that there is no problem in taking charge of a foreign diplomatic mission. However, it is still immature to be in charge of such an important matter at the age of 30. After all, the pressure is too great to make diplomatic missions abroad.
Andrew welcomed Liang Cheng into his reception room.
Liang Cheng said with a smile, "Mr. Andrew, I’ve come to get good news. I’ve come to inform you specially on the instructions of the President and Prime Minister that we can start the meeting hall of the Foreign Ministry in the afternoon. Mr. Andrew, please make good preparations."
Andrew laughed with joy. "Dear Mr. Liang Cheng, thank you. Thank you. This will be the greatest testimony of the profound friendship between the German Empire and the Republic of China!"
Liang Cheng laughed. "Yes, the friendship between our two countries can stand the test. I hope this negotiation will further promote the further integration of our two countries’ economy, technology and military!"
Andrew picked up two glasses of red wine and handed it to Liang Cheng, saying, "Mr. Liang Cheng, I hope this negotiation will go smoothly. Thank you for helping me come to Beijing and have a drink!"
Liang Cheng gulped it down and said, "Good Mr. Andrew, please prepare well first. I have to leave now. There are still many things to be dealt with in the Ministry!"
Andrew sent Liang Cheng away and shouted, "The secret will immediately invite the counsellors and military attaché s of the legation to an emergency meeting to discuss the military cooperation negotiations between the Republic of China and China!"
The next day, with bloodshot eyes, Andrew led several assistants who participated in the negotiation to the Foreign Affairs Department.
Andrew didn’t sleep a wink all night. In case of losing this guy, Germany communicated many times. At the same time, the assistants read a lot of information and analyzed the conditions that the Chinese side of the Republic of China was going to ask for.
What is there to analyze? It turns out that Andrew believes that the Republic of China is making preparations for reunifying the country, and it is inseparable from the funds. This is the most important thing. It is a big deal to transfer a considerable amount of interest loans from the country to Zhang Yi to support him. If he is not satisfied, he will directly carry out military assistance. Soon, he needs funds. Then we will help them with funds. At least, a small country war can’t be’ spent’ and Germany can afford it!
However, the answer given by William II was beyond his expectation. After careful analysis, the high-level officials recognized that Zhang Jian would not stay in financial support. Although it took a lot of money to go through several wars, it was still within the scope of the Republic of China, and they also got a large amount of compensation from Russia. It was not that the Republic of China was in short supply. What they wanted more was the technical cooperation.
Andrew had to overturn his own idea and make preparations overnight, even at the expense of the head of the Krupp group to seek Krupp group’s advice and help.
It was only during the whole night that Andrew was able to determine the general scope, and his heart gradually gained confidence. At this time, it was the afternoon of the next day.
Everyone took their seats and started a formal meeting.
First of all, Liang Chengxian of the Republic of China put forward his own plan. First, the Republic of China was willing to compensate three German planes for technical research and study. Second, the Republic of China is willing to conduct academic exchanges on aircraft technology in Germany, and technicians can be sent to Germany for technical training for half a month. Because of the limited number of aircraft researchers in the Republic of China, short-term training is possible; Third, the Republic of China is willing to launch a joint technical attack on aircraft development and production in Germany!
Andrew was taken aback by Liang Cheng’s generosity. These three schemes are really strong, with long-term plans and short-term visible benefits, and three aircraft are technically verified. This is a great thing!
Andrew’s opponent looked at each other thoughtfully and said, "Foreign Minister Liang is very interested in your plan, but I feel there are still some doubts about the second one. I think we should conduct more technical training. Half a month is too short to meet our needs!"
Liang Cheng frowned. This plan is already very good. Andrew is still not satisfied.
Liang Cheng asked, "Mr. Andrew, if you have any better suggestions, please come out and we will have a new negotiation!"
Andrew replied, "First, it’s a good model to go to Germany for short-term training, but only once is a drop in the bucket for us. I demand that this kind of training should be normalized every year, just as we trained your artillery technology and gun production technology at the beginning, so that our aircraft research talents in the German Empire can grow up as soon as possible. Second, I heard that Fengtian Engineering University has started an aircraft phase research course. I ask your country to accept a certain number of international students from our empire to learn specific academic knowledge of aviation!"
Liang Cheng was taken aback and had a good appetite. It seems that Andrew is definitely prepared.
Liang Cheng looked at Cai E and asked Cai E what he meant. After all, Cai E is the real expert in military negotiations.
Cai E said slowly, "Mr. Andrew, we can consider these two plans, but it’s not so fast. You should know that our experts are also limited and heavy. For one thing, we can’t’ draw’ extra experts to give professional lectures in Germany frequently. For another, it will seriously affect the completion of our aircraft research. After all, our aircraft research team is only a few dozen people. We can include these two proposals in the memorandum, but it will take a while before we can really implement them!"
Andrew eyebrows picked Cai Songpo this little guy!
Chapter nine hundred and four Bargaining
Andrew shouted, "Songpo, you mustn’t embarrass your teacher. You are my proud student!"
Cai E’s face turned red and said, "The teacher is negotiating now. Let’s all be masters. You can’t suppress me as a teacher at this time!"
Andrew said bitterly, "Why didn’t Xu Huaijin come over and let me pigeon at this time? Without him, you two can make decisions?"
Cai E said with a smile, "Mr. Andrew, your name is not good now. Our general manager is afraid that you will pester him and go to the Northeast to attend the ceremony of the Heavy Industry Corps. By the way, he will inspect the first regiment!"
Andrew hated, "I’ll settle accounts with him when he comes back!" "
Cai E laughed. "Mr. Andrew, let’s get down to business. We can promise you these two requirements, but there are certain restrictions. We only go to Germany for training twice a year. We will send three scientists for half a month each time; Because of our limited teachers, we can only accept ten German students. After all, there are also technicians in our country who accept professional studies. There are too many people, so we will treat them according to the law! "
Andrew shouted, "It is acceptable to go to Germany for training twice a year, but it is difficult to meet the needs of our engineering and technical team building with too few international students. You must expand the number of students you receive. I suggest that 30 international students can just form a class!"
Liang Cheng firmly replied, "No, no, we can accept ten people and more teaching quality law guarantees!" "
Andrew Nye lowered the condition "twenty-five?"
"no!"
"Twenty?"
"no!"
"I depend! Fifteen must not be less, and I will be furious if I am less! "
