    The people Sun Yuanqi counted were all Nobel Prize winners of Reed nationality in the first decade of the 20th century, and they were all well-deserved great scientists.

    It can be said that in the decades of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Germany's scientific level was second to none in Europe and even the world, and a large number of world-renowned scientists were born. The most well-known of them are Einstein and Plann.  gram.  The Nobel Prize winners are even more like crucian carp crossing the river. Among them, in the 5th Nobel Prize awarded in December 1905, 3 of the 5 winners were Germans, and 3 were from chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine.  The winners of this science award are all German scientists. They are the chemist Bayer who studied organic compounds such as organic dyes and fragrances, the physicist Lerner who studied cathode rays, and the founder of pathogenic bacteriology who made great contributions to the development of bacteriology.  Koch the man.

    Hearing the most prestigious scientific authority today rattle off a series of names of famous German scientists, Mr. Harhausen subconsciously puffed up his chest and replied proudly: "Although our German Empire is not as stunning as Dr. Johnson and your wife.  scientific giants, but there are still some scientists who have produced world-class research results. Of course, we love and value every scientific researcher, because they are the cornerstone of the empire¡¯s flourishing development and the bridge to the future!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi shook his head and said: "Mr. Minister, I am only sincerely inviting Professor Planck and his family to come to China for a study tour. It is not a kidnapping. Why are you so nervous?" After a pause, he asked again: "Mr. Minister, this time I am not kidnapping you."  I traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Taiyuan. Isn't it just for Professor Planck's invitation? Is there anything else?"

    Harhausen did not answer but asked: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you should have heard of the names of the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers, right?"

    Sun Yuanqi nodded slightly: "As I generally know, the Allies include your country, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, etc., while the Allied Powers include the British Empire, France, the Russian Empire, etc."

    Harhausen said: "Perhaps Japan should be added to the list of Allied Powers, because according to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Treaty signed in 1902 and renewed in 1911, if a third country at war with Britain formed an alliance with one or more other countries,  If the Alliance enters the war, Japan and Britain will fight together. Once there is a conflict between Britain and the Allies, Japan will undoubtedly side with the Allies."

    Sun Yuanqi said expressionlessly: "Then what?"

    Harhausen continued: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you must not know about the treaty signed not long ago by Mr. Zhao, Advisor to the Presidential Office of your country, and Mr. Yamaza, the Japanese Minister to China, right?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "I do know! But as we all know, that treaty is invalid, because not only has China not approved it through Congress, but Japan has also not recognized the existence of the treaty. It was just a treaty signed privately by Mr. Zhao Zhian and Mr. Yamaza Enjiro.  It¡¯s just an agreement and has no legal effect.¡±

    Harhausen said: "Yes, it is invalid. The Japanese government even believes that it was a fabrication by people with ulterior motives in China, or that Minister Yamaza signed it without permission from the cabinet. But what is the real situation?  , Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, should know better than anyone else! Although this treaty is invalid at the moment, we can see Japan¡¯s infinite ambition for your country¡¯s territory through this treaty itself! Of course, Japan¡¯s coveting of your country¡¯s territory is consistent,  Endless, from North Korea and Taiwan to Liaodong and Shandong, who knows what they will do in the future?"

    Sun Yuanqi made an exception and had no excuse, because what Hahausen said was completely correct and there was no way to refute it.  How could Sun Yuanqi, who knew the September 18th Incident, the Nanjing Massacre, and the eight-year bloody struggle in real history, not know Japan¡¯s enthusiasm for Chinese territory?

    Harhausen added: "Perhaps such a greedy country should also include Russia, because its invasion of your country's territory can even be traced back to the Battle of Yaksa three or four hundred years ago! As for the colonies of Britain and France,  , and are scattered all over the world. The evil nature of an alliance composed of such countries can be imagined! In recent hundreds of years, your country has been bullied and ravaged by Britain, France, Japan and Russia in turn, and was forced to cede territory and pay compensation. The country and its people have suffered endless hardships  Pain; now that this evil alliance is back and vows to annex the whole world, is your country ready to surrender and completely become their colony? Or are you ready to fight and fight to the last drop of blood?"

    Sun Yuanqi then realized something: "Mr. Minister, do you want our country to join the ranks of the Allies?"

    Harhausen nodded affirmatively: "That's right! In Europe, Germany, like your country, has endured ruthless humiliation and cruel suppression by Britain, France, Russia and other powers, because they feel that the pattern of Europe and the world has been roughly determined.  , such a small five continents can only tolerate the rule of a few big countries, which is simply intolerable.A new country rises and challenges the old order.  In other words, they want those who were once noble to always be on top, and those who were once humble to always be on their knees.  Faced with such a stubborn, powerful and evil alliance, shouldn¡¯t we all work together to deal with it?  "

    Sun Yuanqi smiled bitterly and said: "Just like your country is sandwiched between France and Germany, China is also sandwiched between Japan and Russia. It's just that China is far less powerful and military than Germany. If China had the challenge of Germany,  The world's powerful country is willing to fight side by side with Germany. It's just that China is too weak right now. If it rashly joins the Allied camp, I'm afraid it will become an appetizer for Japan and Russia as soon as the war starts!"

    Harhausen encouraged: "Don't worry, your Excellency, Germany will provide strong support to your country to help resist the aggression of Japan and Russia!"

    Sun Yuanqi was unmoved: "Mr. Minister, do you know that there is a saying in China that 'far water cannot quench near thirst'? Your country is far away, while the Japanese and Russian aggression is near thirst. Your so-called support is not enough to rely on.  !¡±

    Harhausen frowned and said, "What is your country's attitude?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Although our country recognizes and appreciates your country's courage and determination to challenge the great powers, due to limited national strength, it is a pity that we cannot join the Allied camp and fight alongside your country. However, our country will try its best to fight alongside you within the scope of international permission.  Your country will maintain normal commercial exchanges and will provide some material assistance at the appropriate time to show support!"

    Harhausen bowed slightly: "In that case, on behalf of the German Imperial Government, I would like to express my gratitude to your country for your support! In order to cope with the possible war, our country needs to reserve a large amount of strategic materials in the near future, including the need to import antimony, manganese from China  , tin, bristles, tung oil, cotton yarn, tungsten sand, etc. I hope that the Prime Minister can assist you at that time. In addition, after our country loses your country as a potential ally in the Far East, it will be difficult for our country to deal with the attacks of Japan and Russia alone. For this reason, our country  The government intends to return the Jiao'ao area to your country, but your country must pay a fee and re-lease a suitable port to our country after the war."

    Sun Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I wonder how much the 'expense' you mentioned is roughly?"

    Harhausen explained: "This fee is mainly to compensate the municipal funds and ancillary facilities built by our government, including the Ilchis Barracks built at a cost of 950,000 marks, the Bismarck Barracks built at a cost of 750,000 marks, and the Bismarck Barracks at a cost of 850,000 marks.  The Qingdao Slaughterhouse was built, the Governor's Palace was built at a cost of 850,000 marks, the Governor's Mansion was built at a cost of 1 million marks, etc., the total cost was 8.5 million German marks, which is equivalent to 4.2 million Huaxi Bank silver dollars."

    As Harhausen said, with the tens of thousands of people Germany now has in the Far East, it is simply difficult to resist Japanese or Russian attacks.  Rather than letting the enemy take it away in vain, it is better to sell it at a better price as soon as possible. Not only can the capital be saved, but also the more than 10,000 German soldiers can be legitimately withdrawn to the country and put into more useful battlefields.  Therefore, Germany's return of Qingdao does not disadvantage itself. In a sense, it is the best way to escape.

    Seeing that Sun Yuanqi looked unhappy, Harhausen hurriedly added: "Our German government also knows that your country has been relatively short of funds recently, and it is impossible to come up with so much cash to pay for it at once, so we have formulated two alternative repayment methods.  . First, it will be directly deducted from the cost of our government¡¯s purchase of various strategic materials from your country,¡ª¡ª¡±

    Sun Yuanqi shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no! Whether it is antimony, manganese, tin, tungsten sand, bristle, tung oil, cotton yarn, etc., they are all produced by the hard work of our country's workers and peasants, and they are the basis for their livelihood. If the country does not  To sue and seize them and cut off their source of livelihood is tantamount to killing people and stealing goods, and the result is equivalent to ransacking homes and exterminating families. This method of killing the goose to obtain the eggs and drying up the lake for fishing is absolutely unacceptable! I wonder what is your alternative repayment method, Minister?"

    Harhausen said: "I heard that some time ago, the Prime Minister's 47th Mixed Brigade had a fierce battle with the former President Yuan's Army's First Division and the Third Cavalry Brigade outside Zhangjiakou. During the war,  You used a new type of tank that had never been seen before. It was not afraid of any artillery and rifle attacks, easily defeated the opponent, and finally achieved a decisive victory. Our military has a strong interest in this new type of weapon.  If the Prime Minister can provide the design drawings and samples of this type of tank, we can waive this fee!"

    Sun Yuanqi sneered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, this kind of tank is now the top secret of the country, just like the design drawings of your country's Nassau-class battleships (dreadnoughts), which must not be leaked!"

    Harhausen hesitated for a moment and said: "If the Prime Minister is unwilling to provide information on this type of tank, you can also use the design drawings of the new bomber!"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "This matter is serious, please allow me to think about it again!"

    In fact, it¡¯s not that Sun Yuanqi couldn¡¯t afford the 4.2 million silver dollars. He could get it out with a little squeeze from Huaxi Bank. How could he exchange national treasures such as tanks and aircraft design drawings?  What's more, Qingdao is now a hot potato in the hands of Germany. It wants to be thrown out as soon as possible. The longer it is kept, the less valuable it is. How could Sun Yuanqi be stupid enough to make a deal with Germany now?  So now it is natural to use delaying tactics as much as possible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)If you can't afford the 4.2 million silver dollars, which you can get out with a little squeeze from Huaxi Bank, how can you exchange them for national treasures such as tanks and aircraft design drawings?  What's more, Qingdao is now a hot potato in the hands of Germany.
