    Campo never thought about buying battleships from China. This kind of thing sounds a bit ridiculous. Ten years ago, China was a public colony and an amusement park for various great powers to take risks.  Although China has gradually become independent in recent years, and its self-built aircraft carrier has also been launched, no one knows what the Chinese shipbuilding technology is.  Being able to meet Chen Jing is just out of politeness. After all, this is a representative of a big Eastern country. In addition, he bought some aircraft from China and their performance is indeed good. He can't help but give him this face.  Campo casually opened the document handed over by Chen Jing, but as soon as he glanced at it, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.  Seeing Campo's appearance, Chen Jing was secretly proud. It was obvious that he had touched Campo's heart.  Chile is a country that God has been very kind to. Although the country is narrow and narrow, it is rich in resources, including forests, fisheries, and more importantly, the largest copper mine in the world. In addition, Chile's saltpeter reserves are also quite amazing, and the nitrate industry is also important.  Economic sources.  Before Chen Jing came here, he did enough homework to know where Chile¡¯s demand lies. Their nitrate industry relies entirely on American capital and technology, and most of it is produced and sold to the United States.  Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are huge risks involved, but the Chileans have no choice. They do not have the strength and capital to get rid of the control of the United States.  ¡°China has given them a brand new option, providing technology and equipment to assist Chile in developing its nitrate industry.  Unlike the Americans, China only requires 40% of the shares.  Moreover, technology can be shared, and China can also open its market.  This is equivalent to giving Chileans a brand new choice.  Much more favorable than American companies.  This alone can bring Chile at least about US$3 million in profits a year.  Definitely exciting stuff for a small country.  Campo originally said he would only give Chen Jing five minutes, but when he looked at the cooperation plan, he read it for a full ten minutes before asking: "Mr. Chen, does China have the ability to provide the same nitrate equipment as the United States?  "Of course there is no problem, and it may be better than the American stuff." Campo suddenly looked disdainful.  He said coldly: "I am a soldier. What I hate most is telling lies. If you think you can make me believe it by bragging and deceiving, it is impossible." "Of course I won't lie, I guess.  Have you heard of Red Triangle Soda Ash?" When Campo heard this, he suddenly looked surprised.  I couldn't help but ask: "Is this your Chinese product?" "Of course, our country's chemist Mr. Hou Debang has explored a new joint alkali production method, which greatly reduces production costs and improves the utilization efficiency of raw materials. Wynn Factory is our country  A microcosm of the chemical industry, in terms of technical level, it will never lag behind its American counterparts." Chen Jing said this.  Full of confidence, indeed the chemical industry is an industry that is developing relatively rapidly in China.  Initially, Zhang Tinglan invited Fan Xudong to the three northeastern provinces to establish the initial chemical industry foundation.  After Hou Debang and others joined, Fan Xudong's industry expanded rapidly, and due to the rapid expansion of the military industry.  The need for acids and bases also skyrocketed.  At this time, a large number of chemical plants appeared in the three northeastern provinces, and then came the period of the First Five-Year Plan.  The chemical industry is also a key development project.  Moreover, there were several very favorable circumstances for China during this period. First, overseas Chinese returned in large numbers, bringing back a large number of talents and technologies; second, after Germany's defeat, the economy was in decline and a large number of professionals were unemployed. You must know  Germany is the country with the strongest chemical industry in the world. China immediately seized the opportunity, recruited a large number of talents, and also updated all its equipment.  ¡°Then there is Russia. The revolution of the majority party actually caused a new reshuffle in Russia. A large number of scientists and senior technicians all fled Russia.  Many of them have gathered in the Far East Empire, and the Far East Empire is in the hands of China, so it becomes very easy to recruit these talents.  With the injection of talents from these three parties, China's chemical industry has developed rapidly. Basically, its production capacity can fully meet domestic needs, and it is also sold to foreign countries.  In particular, Hou Debang also improved the alkali production method. Previously, the world used the ammonia-alkali method invented by the Belgian Solvay.  In order to block technology, Western countries established the Solvay Trade Union to prevent technology leakage.  However, this method also has problems such as low salt utilization and difficulty in processing waste residue and liquid. Hou Debang conducted a lot of experiments and finally successfully developed a joint alkali production method, combining ammonia plants and alkali plants for joint production, making the salt utilization more efficient.  The efficiency has increased from 70% to 96%, and the waste generated can also be used to produce fertilizers.  This initiative shocked the world¡¯s chemical industry. Originally, Westerners imposed a technological blockade on China.?? However, things have changed and the Chinese have newer and better methods. Instead, they have to go to the Chinese and buy patent licenses.  This incident can be called a microcosm of the pride of China's chemical industry. After ten years of hard work, China may still have a gap in top-notch chemical products, but China is by no means lagging behind in the production of basic equipment such as nitrate, and it already has the equipment to export it.  Technical capabilities.  Campo listened patiently to Chen Jing's introduction, with a thoughtful look on his face. At this time, Chen Jing knew that he had to continue to add some points to him, so he said: "Mr. President, during the warship production process, your country's  Technical workers are involved throughout the process, and we can even assist your country in establishing its own shipbuilding industry. You must know that Argentina and Brazil have this plan, but they have failed. Once Chile can take the lead, Chile's navy will definitely dominate South America in the future.  "Are you really willing to provide technology?" Campo was also completely impressed, and he asked in surprise.  Chen Jing nodded without hesitation: "There is no problem. The shipbuilding industry is a big industry that can solve the employment problem of thousands of people. Your country has rich resources and huge potential for shipping demand. I believe that if the president can do it  With this, your status in the hearts of voters will skyrocket. " Campo was indeed moved. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but finally shook his head: "Mr. Chen, the conditions provided by your country are very good.  It's so generous that one can't help but be tempted. But what we need this time is a warship, a super-dreadnought. With all due respect, if your country has mature shipbuilding experience, I will choose your country without hesitation. But so far, your country  Without a battleship launched, I can't risk tens of millions of dollars." What else did Chen Jing want to say? Campo waved his hand: "Mr. Chen, our two countries may be able to explore other possibilities for economic cooperation.  Don¡¯t be tied up with the warship.¡± After saying that, Campo turned and left, leaving Chen Jing alone.  The joints on his fists have turned white. After all, China still has no experience. This has become the most fatal problem. Even if the tongue is full of lotus, it is difficult for people to believe it.  Chen Jing left the ball dejectedly and returned directly to the hotel. By this time, Yao Yimin was already waiting in the living room.  Seeing that Chen Jing was a little lonely, Yao Yimin said, "Isn't the situation going well?" "Well, the Chileans insist that we have no construction experience. In fact, if it were me, I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig. I'm afraid we will have to run for nothing.  Yao Yimin also sighed and couldn't help but said: "Actually, experience is not a problem at all. The plan we designed this time mainly refers to the German Baden-class battleship. I participated in the dismantling of the Baden.  , In addition, we have obtained a complete set of blueprints from Germany, and the Germans are ready to make a move. They are not willing to have their navy restricted forever. We can directly involve German engineers and practice using other people's warships. " China and Germany are tied together.  Together, of course, there will be no problem of lack of experience. It is also very interesting to talk about it. China wants to use Chile to practice, and at the same time, China wants Germany to use itself to practice. This cooperation model is probably unique in the world.  Chen Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Our cooperation with Germany is conducted in secret. We can't just shout out!" The two people looked at each other and had no idea. They sat in silence for a long time. Suddenly an attach¨¦ ran in and sent him away.  Here comes an invitation.  This invitation was sent by Baker, the head of the Italian delegation. As soon as he saw the invitation, Chen Jing's eyes suddenly lit up. Maybe the breakthrough was here.  He suddenly stood up, grabbed the invitation, and left the hotel with a quick stride Among the bidding teams from various countries, the most hopeful ones were the United States and Britain. They had been shouting at each other for a long time, trying to snatch this cake.  As Americans who regard America as their back garden, they are quite repulsive to Britain and do not want them to get involved at all.  Chile has already handed over the first dreadnought to the United Kingdom, so we cannot let them get the second one!  Except for these two countries, representatives from other countries showed little interest. They also knew that there was little hope, so they were just soy sauce.  Half a month after arriving in Chile, the first round of bidding began. As expected, the United States and the United Kingdom advanced smoothly, while Japan and France were excluded. These were all expected.  But there is one country whose performance surprised everyone, and that is China!  The Chinese delegation's plan was also successfully promoted, but at this time, the plan had been changed. It was jointly proposed by China and Italy, and the two countries conducted an unprecedented integration.  The most criticized thing about China is the issue of experience. But by bringing Italy over, this shortcoming was immediately made up for. Moreover, the joint plan between the two countries has a 20% discount in price. Compared with the United States and the United Kingdom, which only use cash  Some warships have been slightly modified to suit their needs.The case is more attentive.  It has a full load displacement of 32,000 tons and is equipped with four twin-mounted 380mm main guns. It has excellent seaworthiness and protection capabilities. The maximum speed can reach 28 knots and the maximum cruising range exceeds 10,000 nautical miles.  After seeing these indicators, everyone in the Chilean military couldn't help but exclaimed that this was the warship they needed!  PS: There is a problem with the network. I borrowed it and sent it wirelessly. Sorry for the delay
