"General, congratulations. The empire has approved your loan request. The empire will provide you with 500 million marks worth of machinery and equipment, as well as hiring relevant technical personnel and military instructors.”The envoy of the Germanic Empire to the Yanhuang Kingdom, Harhaosen, said.
Yuan Kewen couldn't help but be ecstatic.
The Germanic people of this era were really easy to fool! He made up a few random reasons, and the Germans believed him.
Of course, this was mainly because the situation the Germanic people were currently facing was too bad. They could not wait for stronger allies to join them.
However, the First World War was imminent.
In just two years, it was impossible for the Yan Huang Kingdom to develop to such a powerful state.
Therefore, it was impossible to fight alongside the Germanic people in this world war.
Yuan Kewen was just trying to get as much benefits as possible before the collapse of the Germanic Empire.
Of course, at worst, he could just repay them after the loan was due.
In any case, by then, Mark would have already depreciated like waste paper.
However, in another twenty to thirty years, when the mustached man took over the Third Reich, everyone could cooperate.
At that time, the Yan Huang Kingdom should be very powerful. He could use this opportunity to divide the world with the mustached man.
"Minister, thank you so much for your help.”Yuan Kewen quickly expressed his gratitude.
"General, the empire can provide you with these loans. However, the empire had a request. That is, these machines and equipment will be given to you after you take over the northeast.”Minister Harhausen continued.
Yuan Kewen couldn't help but frown.
He knew that this was a test from the Germanic people.
If they could take down the northeast. Then, this did not only represent his ability. At the same time, it also meant that he had a piece of territory. The Germans could also see him as an investment target.
"Of course, that's not a problem. I will definitely take down the northeast as soon as possible!”Yuan Kewen patted his chest and promised.
After leaving the Germanic Empire Legation, Yuan Kewen returned to Yuan Manor.
"The training of the army has already begun. With the abilities of Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun, as well as some of the training methods he had left behind in the future. Within three months, the 101st Infantry Division would be able to form a fighting force. At that time, he would find a place for the troops to practice and let his brothers see blood. Then, it could basically be put into use. At that time, they would expand the army like crazy, expanding one division into four divisions. At that time, they could make a move on the northeast!”Yuan Kewen thought to himself.
With Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaozhun's help, there wouldn't be any problems with the army.
However, once they took over the northeast, how would they govern it?
This was undoubtedly a problem.
Yuan Kewen suddenly remembered that he still needed an assistant in government affairs.
"Oh right, there's a suitable candidate in the residence, and that's the last Imperial Teacher, Yang Du. Yang Du was a disciple of Wang Kaiyun and was obsessed with the art of emperors. Later, he went to the East to study and wanted to assist a wise ruler. Whether it was personal ability or integrity, it was guaranteed.”After Yuan Kewen made up his mind, he immediately sent someone to find Yang Du.
At this moment, Yang Du was working in the presidential palace.
However, he was not put in an important position. He was only handling some documents and was at a time when he was not recognized.
When he heard that Second Young Master Yuan was looking for him, he immediately put down what he was doing and came to pay his respects.
"Second Young Master, why are you looking for me?”Yang Du asked.
"Mr. Yang, I've long heard that your knowledge is extraordinary. It was just that he still lacked a platform to display his talents. If I give you such a platform, are you willing to work for me?”Yuan Kewen didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
Yang Du was a very smart person. He immediately realized that Yuan Kewen wanted to recruit him.
As the youngest commander of the Northern Army, and his father was the Grand President, Yuan Kewen's future was undoubtedly bright.
To be able to serve under Yuan Kewen. Then, he would also be able to obtain an excellent opportunity to develop.
"Second Young Master, I'm willing to do my best!”Yang Du immediately made his choice.
"Alright, then there will be a lot of things to ask Xi Zi from now on!”Yuan Kewen was overjoyed.
Yang Du's name was Xi Zi, so calling him like this also seemed very friendly.
"Second Young Master, just give me your orders.”Yang Du replied.
"Xi Zi, this is my next plan. What do you think?”Yuan Kewen revealed his plan to seize the northeast.
At this moment, Yang Du was dumbstruck. He had never thought that Yuan Kewen would have such a goal at such a young age.
If he could successfully take down the northeast, then Yuan Kewen would definitely become a pivotal figure in the Beiyang faction.
In fact, a hundred years after Yuan Datou's death, he succeeded Beiyang.
In that case, he, who assisted Yuan Kewen, would naturally rise with the tide and even be able to realize his ambitions.
Wouldn't he be able to put the Imperial Arts he had learned over the years to use?
