3735 Weapons Only

There is no secret in the capital. The conversation on the North Sea has reached the ears of the Japanese and the others in just half a day!

Yi? They always thought that Cai Bixia was here to discuss the matter of adding the special zone, but they never expected Ci'an to talk about arms with them on the North Sea!

Iron-armored warships and airships were new things that people in the Qing Dynasty had never heard of at that time, especially the airships. When Xiao Letian put a hot air balloon in Sijiu City, it had already caused a sensation in the entire empire.

It is simply a magical skill to be able to fly in the sky. Otherwise, the legend of the Hidden Dragon in the East China Sea would not have been circulated in China!

But in just over five years, Xiao Letian actually said that he could upgrade the hot air balloon to an airship and could fight!

Anything that can be attached to the war will arouse the vigilance of the government and the public. Now the Qing Dynasty has been forced to open the country. Although the people are still ignorant, the senior officials of the empire can come into contact with new things outside.

Since the Qing Dynasty was always pressed on the ground by foreigners, the continuous failure had long lost their confidence!

However, these people will not reflect on their own problems, and they will not think about whether their own system, culture, economy, science, education... are a series of their own shortcomings.

When encountering an invincible enemy, the Qing court first began to believe in the theory of weapons only!

That's right, the enemy is powerful because they have foreign guns and cannons. It's not that we have any problems with ourselves, our emperor has no problems, our Eight Banners has no problems, and our civil and military officials have no problems!

Foreigners are all evil demons, so it is normal to get some evil demon weapons!

Such thoughts can not only deceive ordinary people, but the key is that they even deceive themselves. These Eight Banners nobles and civil and military officials are so cruel... they even deceive themselves!

They naturally accepted the weapon-only theory because this argument could cover up their other shortcomings. It was under the influence of this concept that Xiao Letian took a path of no return to the Qing Dynasty in his previous life!

Foreign guns and cannons, Beiyang and South Oceans, from the army to the navy, they all purchase everything. Although they have invested in some mechanical bureaus, they are already at the end of the empire, and a little production capacity can't change the fundamentals at all!

The Qing Dynasty is still the same today. It continues to repeat the old accent of weapons theory. It always believes that everything in the Celestial Kingdom is good, and the only thing that is missing is the new weapons of foreigners!

As long as you buy new weapons from foreigners and equip them, even if you make up for the shortcomings of the wooden barrel, other wooden boards will naturally be smooth!

However, weapons theory has become the mainstream of the government and the opposition, so the court will pay attention to any trade that concerns arms!

Cai Bixia came to the capital and did not talk about the special zone in the concession, but talked about arms. Then the arms must be very amazing, and it could actually affect Ci'an's loss of composure!

The Japanese Six's detailed work had already passed on everything that happened in Beihai. Ermao and Ci'an secretly discussed the details of arms sales. When Ci'an turned around, they punished Da Sixi, Xiao Sixi and Manshun slapped each other!

These three eunuchs who followed Zaichun abroad knelt on the stone road for half an hour, slapped her face as swollen as a pig's head!

The reason for being punished is also very novel. It is because these three people didn’t learn enough to learn Western learning, so they didn’t learn anything serious about it when they went to Europa!

If you can't provide good advice to Master Long Sui, you will naturally be punished!

Zaichun also acted crazy for a long time, and smashed three ice trucks in Beihai!

The empress dowager and the emperor were so incompetent, which means that this arms contract is really amazing. After careful investigation, it almost scared the Japanese devils to death!

Nine airships cost five million taels of silver, and the navy's plan was even more amazing. It would cost tens of millions of silver!

Yi and Yihuan were furious when they heard this number. They immediately thought that Xiao Letian was blackmailing them. The Qing Dynasty finally saw some financial surplus, so the rebel wanted to make money from the oil pan?

"If you don't give it, you won't give it to that bastard at all!"

But no matter how much you scold, it is impossible to solve the problem by just scolding the street. You have to study these two contracts carefully!

After calming down, the two began to ask their staff to find information about the Franco-Prussian War. In the memory of the Japanese Sixth, the broken airship seemed to have indeed appeared in the war. What exactly did it look like?

Not to mention that the news of the Qing Dynasty is blocked, they are very concerned about anything related to Xiao Letian in this world!

There are so many wars in Europe and they are not interested in them, but they have to pay attention to research on the wars that Xiao Letian mixed in from beginning to end!

The newspapers and the information shared by Dongjiaomin Lane were found. When the two princes saw the detailed reports on airship battles with military officers from various countries in the newspaper, they were all stunned!

Xiao Letian did not lie, Xiao Letian really created a force that could fight in the sky!

Over the city of Paris, these airships cooperated with the ground forces to complete many tactical tasks, and even carried out emergency rescue missions from the Red Cross!

The power cabin is hoisted under the spindle-shaped airbag, and the personnel and weapons and equipment are also placed on it. This design is not to mention the installation of cannons, and it is impossible to bear to throw it from the sky!

"God, if this weapon is popularized at all, all the city walls of our Qing Dynasty will be useless!"

"No one can stop it. At that time, they will blow up whoever they want. What should I do?"

There was no other way. The two princes thought about it and wanted to throw a stone to ask for directions first. The Chinese people are all businessmen in the same country, and merchants must be profit-oriented!

Let’s get in touch and see if you can get one or two ships for Xishan Camp!

Ci'an never expected that the arms contract she desperately blocked finally touched the thoughts of the two conservative princes. They actually sent Yi Li to contact the Chinese!

After receiving the invitation, Ermao and Cai Bixia did not say anything, "Go, we will receive this invitation!"

"General Cai... Let's talk slowly, don't worry, this arms contract worth millions of taels of silver is not something that can be concluded in one or two days!"

"We are not in a hurry. Let's send a telegram to the Chief of State first to see the godfather's opinion!"

When Xiao Letian received the telegram, he was no longer in Lion City. He was rushing towards Borneo in a fast ship. Huang Wanxia from Brunei has sent three telegrams in a row, asking the head of state to go over for on-site inspection.

The first stable oil well in Brunei has officially produced oil!

This is a great thing! Xiao Letian couldn't sit still, and immediately said that he would go to Borneo immediately!
