Zhang Qiyun stood at the bow of the cruise ship and looked at the port that was about to arrive. His heart was filled with anticipation.
As the envoy of Germany appointed by Chen Ling, Zhang Qiyun also had a special mission from Chen Ling. This mission was not available to other envoys.
"Qiyun, you have to remember that your goal in going to Germany is not only to be an envoy, but also to build a good relationship with the higher-ups of Germany.
"Especially in the area of trade, you have to look carefully and discover what Germany lacks.
If Germany is short of food, we'll sell them food at a low price.
If Germany is short of fuel, we will sell them fuel at a low price.
In short, as long as you find something that Germany lacks, send a telegram back to Germany, and we'll sell it to them.”
But until now, Zhang Qiyun still could not understand what the profound meaning of the order His Majesty gave him was.
At that time, Zhang Qiyun even asked Chen Ling why he did this and why he sold it at a low price.
Chen Ling's answer was,"To increase the comprehensive national strength of Germany and its combat effectiveness.”
Zhang Qiyun was dumbfounded after hearing that.
Although the Chinese Empire had established diplomatic relations with Germany, the relationship between the two countries was not good.
In other words, the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the western powers was never good.
Under such circumstances, the Chinese Empire would not benefit from helping Germany and increasing its national strength and combat strength.
This was obviously aiding the enemy.
Zhang Qiyun was very unwilling, but His Majesty told him that the stronger Germany was, the more help it would be to the Chinese Empire.
However, Zhang Qiyun could not understand how the powerful Germany could be of great help to the Chinese Empire.
Wuuu…
The whistle sounded, and the cruise ship docked.
When Zhang Qiyun and his men got off the cruise ship, there was only one Chinese man waiting for them at the dock.
There weren't any high-ranking officials in Germany, let alone high-ranking officials. There wasn't even a single official.
The person in charge of picking them up was just an ordinary staff member of the German government, and his attitude was not very good.
"This building is your legation. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first.”
After the staff sent Zhang Qiyun and the others to the door of a two-story building, they left.
"Let's go in and pack up. We'll be staying here permanently in the future.”
Zhang Qiyun said to his subordinates.
In the following period of time, Zhang Qiyun led his subordinates to set up the embassy while slowly gathering information.
Anyway, the embassy was fine now. The Chinese Empire and the German Empire were not at war, and there was nothing to communicate with each other. Therefore, as the envoy, he was fine.
After a month of investigation, Zhang Qiyun had basically figured out the trade situation in Germany.
After figuring out the situation, Zhang Qiyun personally wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it back to the country.
……
One day, Chen Ling was taking a stroll in the imperial garden when the young eunuch came to look for him.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter personally written by Minister Zhang of Germany.”The young eunuch handed the letter to Chen Ling.
"Yes."
Chen Ling was immediately excited after hearing that.
After receiving the letter, Chen Ling sat down on the rockery and started reading.
The more he looked, the more smiles Chen Ling had on his face. In the end, he even laughed.
"As expected, Germany is indeed preparing for war.”
Chen Ling said with a smile after reading the letter.
According to Zhang Qiyun's long investigation, he had finally investigated the import and export situation of Germany's materials.
The current Germany was indeed preparing war resources.
In fact, since 1891, Germany had been preparing war supplies.
However, this kind of preparation was to deal with the geographical war, which was to prepare for the Austro-Hun Empire.
According to Chen Ling's memory, Germany had been preparing for the war for more than 20 years.
In fact, this statement was a little exaggerated. Germany was preparing for war, but the current Germany had never thought that they would be so awesome in the future.
Originally, Germany would not have been so nervous. However, the allied forces of various countries had invaded the Chinese Empire and were preparing to divide the Far East region.
In the end, they were hung up by the Chinese Empire, causing the western countries, including Germany, to begin to strengthen their weapons research and development.
What kind of situation had this created?
Just like the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
What weapon did you equip today? Tomorrow, I will equip a weapon that can be used against you.
The two sides exchanged blows and competed in equipment.
Originally, the western countries would not have such a situation at this time.
However, because of the variable Chen Ling, the western countries all upgraded their weapons and equipment at the same time, resulting in the current situation.
"The equipment competition is good. In this world, the firearms business is the most profitable.”
Chen Ling smiled as he muttered. Then, he opened the system and began to search for weapons and equipment from the German war.
