    Lu Hong's words naturally surprised Weng Tonghe. What other functions could this military discipline camp have?  He nodded and motioned for Lu Hong to continue "Mr. Ge, if the Military Aircraft Department has important matters that need to be handled by the military, the Military Discipline Camp can be used to urge them and report progress in a timely manner. Even important matters such as military expenditures can also be handled by the Military Discipline Camp.  If this method can be implemented, military aircraft and administrative orders can be circulated smoothly in the army!" Lu Hong talked eloquently, but he concealed one thing. The Manchu army in this era was already in critical condition. How could a small military discipline camp reverse this situation?  of.  Weng Tonghe looked at Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao who were sitting next to them. They were both looking at their mouths, noses, and minds at the moment. They didn't know what they were thinking. He had naturally thought of what Lu Hong said. If this military discipline camp  If he can succeed, there is no doubt that he has inserted half a hand in the army However, this matter is obviously not easy to handle!  He looked at Lu Hong, who was still standing upright. He was quite satisfied with the young man's knowledge and magnanimity. Suddenly he remembered something, "Lu Hong, you told Huang Yushi that Japan is willing to go to war again.  This can only be regarded as conjecture. Last month, at the silver wedding celebration of Emperor Meiji of Japan, the emperor also sent a congratulatory letter. Minister Wang Fengzao also said that the emperor wants to have good relations with China for generations. "His words made Lu Hong!  I couldn't help but secretly ridicule the old man in my heart. He only cared about the things in the court all day long, the real national affairs. This man was far less dedicated than Li Zhongtang, who was regarded as a surrender faction by later generations. Fortunately,  He already had some plans, "Mr. Ge, the things I reported are definitely not conjectures. I'm afraid that the Japanese have planned for a long time to seize North Korea, which is just a hint. With their cunning, they will cause trouble even if they have nothing to do.  , By then, I'm afraid whether to fight or not will all depend on their thoughts!" Huang Tifang next to her looked up when she heard Lu Hong's words, and asked one more question, "Lu Hong, what news did you tell me?  , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s an inference! What can the Japanese do?¡± Lu Hong smiled slightly, looked at the little old man, and answered the question well, ¡°Mr. Ge, Mr. Huang, I saw it earlier.  British newspapers reported that there was widespread civil unrest in Korea, but it had been temporarily subsided, and that the Korean royal family was now colluding with the Russians, which was probably a recipe for disaster. There was no guarantee that Japan would not take advantage of this news!  Yuan Shikai mentioned it in the information he sent back from North Korea. Weng Tonghe was surprised that Lu Hong could also read it in foreign newspapers. He nodded thoughtfully. At this time, Li Hongzao next to him spoke.  Asked: "Lu Hong, according to your inference, if a war breaks out, will the foreign newspapers infer the winner?" Lu Hong looked at this old man with a gray beard, and his identity was no different.  Weng Tonghe Gao was the elder of the Three Dynasties and the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi. However, compared to Weng Tonghe, although his governance methods were a bit more rigid, he was more tolerant. Huang Tifang also respected this big boss, so,  In terms of promoting armaments, this person can actually lend a little more strength!  He turned sideways and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Li Ge, with all due respect, after the launch of Westernization and military training, foreigners knew more about the armaments of our country. A few years ago, when the Beiyang Navy was first established, there were comments in European and Western newspapers.  , the Qing Navy is actually the first-class combat force in the Far East, and Japan has absolutely no chance of challenging it. However, in the past 7 years, Japan has not stepped up its preparations for war with our North Korea as its enemy. It has purchased ships year after year, and all the warships purchased are first-class British ones.  Fast gun ship, when I was in London, I saw a book written by British Admiralty Fisher, which stated that 8 years is the limit of naval combat readiness!" At this point, Lu Hong glanced at Li Hongzao, who obviously seemed to understand.  Understand, "Today, Britain and Germany are engaged in a naval competition. The British judged the Kaiser's armored ship Saxony to be outdated armament! Our navy is weak and encounters the Japanese navy. We lose because of the slow ship and slow artillery, and our victory cannot be expanded.  As a result, if you lose, it will be difficult to evacuate. The British newspapers have actually asserted it for a long time! "At this time, Li Hongzao and Weng Tonghe both understood clearly that the German Saxony was a battleship of the same level as Beiyang Dingyuan and Zhenyuan. It was obvious!  , the British also believed that these two iron-clad ships, known as the number one in the Far East, were obsoleteObviously, Lu Hong only expressed his views on victory or defeat tactfully, but it was already clear who would win and who would lose!  However, Li Hongzao obviously had other views on this theory, "Lu Hong, didn't this navy build Lushun and Weihaiweijun ports? With the help of forts, so many ironclad ships may not be unable to win!" "Mr. Li Ge, this wartime plan,  That's not what I can predict However, the British have asserted that the war between China and Japan is actually a naval war and a war between Korea! "It's not who has the final say on where to fight, Li Hongzao's head.  , It is really too conservative. At this point, Lu Hong turned around and cupped his hands towards Weng Tonghe. What he said couldn't be more clear. As for other words, it is not suitable to say it now. We need to find another opportunity. Of course,  , if you have a chance to say it, it depends on you todayCan the copywriting and foreshadowing make these Qingliu bosses understand the crisis of the situation?  Weng Tonghe listened to Lu Hong's analysis all the way, and it did make some sense. In fact, although he listened to Lu Hong's analysis, he actually didn't care about whether the war would happen. The boss's concept of China did not matter to him.  As far as Old Man Weng is concerned, it is still a deep-rooted idea. Although the Japanese have launched a new policy, in his opinion, the Japanese will never dare to take action easily.  On the other hand, Lu Hong was quite interested in the matter of intervening in military control based on military discipline. Qingliu had long been criticizing the huge Huai army system, but there was no means to check and balance it. The setting up of this military discipline camp,  As an agency under the Military Aircraft Department, this is indeed a wonderful method. When the time comes, Li Hongzhang's face will definitely look uncomfortable!  Of course, Weng Tonghe also understands that it is definitely very difficult to implement this matter. The power of the Huai Clan is deeply rooted. How can it just send people down casually? Even if they are sent down, will they be able to find out anything?  It's very important. Pei Weiyi's earlier excerpt of "The officers and soldiers shall be punished for plundering at will" is now the time to use it!  When the topic came to this point, Lu Hong actually said everything he should have said. After Li Hongzao asked a few more questions, he waved him away. After waiting outside for more than an hour, he saw Huang Tifang's calm expression.  After he came out, he naturally followed the little old man and walked for a while. Then the little old man said, "Lu Hong, what you said today is good. If you stay in my house for a while, I'm afraid Mr. Weng will still look for you."  You!" Lu Hong did not have anything to do in the next four days. He took the time to visit St. George's Bank and received a purchase list from the bearded Anderson. Many of the items in it immediately piqued his interest.  What a great gift!  The Hardinge Company of the United States is a long-established leader in vertical lathes and horizontal milling machines. In my own time, the military had a quarrel with the U.S. government over a set of Hardinge XR series five-axis machining centers.  There are even more good products in the list below. Radial drilling machines and deep hole drilling machines from the British Cincinnati Company. These are all military-grade gadgets. What surprised him even more was that there were products from the American Gleason Company.  The gantry milling and grinding machine is a big thing. As for ordinary lathes, milling machines, universal grinders, gear planers, screw machines and other small machine tools, they are almost all cheap. I don¡¯t know how Anderson, the bearded man, can be so capable.  !  In fact, Lu Hong completely overestimated Anderson's ability. The economic crisis that started in Germany three years ago has already swept the United States. Now, Germany's economy has just recovered. In fact, European countries such as Britain and France are at the end of the economic crisis.  The economic situation of continued negative growth will soon improve greatly. However, the United States, which finally entered the economic crisis, has seen more than 15,000 companies go bankrupt in the past three years. The companies that survived have all sold off a large number of various products without exception.  Production equipment, this directly led to the fate of a large number of mechanical equipment in the early years and even being recycled for steelmaking.  If Lu Hong purchases these old machine tools, Anderson will be able to earn an extra piece of profit from the goods deduction. This is a win-win situation!  He immediately poured ecstasy on Anderson, "Dear Anderson, does the United States of America just export these scrap metals? Where are the latest machine tools? I heard that the merger of the United Steel Company has made the price of steel in the United States soar.  Why are your second-hand machines so expensive?¡± The bearded man with an expectant expression and a teacup in his hand probably wanted to do the most at this moment, stuffing the whole teacup into Lu Hong¡¯s big mouth.  , after four years of economic crisis, the United States cannot absorb as many new machine tools as it can old ones. Machine tool factories are relying on layoffs to survive, and the prices they give can be considered conscientious prices. After all, these gadgets have been shipped thousands of miles away.  It will be bumpy at sea for more than a month, and God knows how much damage will be done.  "Dear Lu, this is already an extremely low price. It's really only a little more than selling scrap steel! If we didn't have a long-term cooperation agreement, I would never accept such a price!" The bearded man spat, and his beard  It's almost raining!  Lu Hong shook his head, "No, no, what I'm trading with you is a high value-added product. Let's do this. You can help me get a set of university laboratory equipment. You can take whatever you can get. I think this is a small thing."  It shouldn¡¯t be difficult to fulfill such a small request!¡± The bearded man was also stunned after hearing this. The request of a big customer like himself was really unusual. In this era, laboratory equipment was definitely not as simple as in later generations. However, apart from those  In addition to the high cost of laboratories in European national universities, ordinary physics and chemistry laboratory equipment is difficult to find, but it is not valuable. He immediately agreed to this condition, but also suggested that it might take a certain amount of time.  Finally, Lu Hong did not forget to ask the bearded man to hire about 10 senior machine tool technicians from the United States for him. Of course, it would be better to have engineers, and the salary would beAs for remuneration, he can only promise to give three times the current salary in the United States. He can still afford 10 or 8 salary. After all, he estimates that many of these machine tools may not be available in China.  Qin Tianmin began to run around more frequently in the past few days. When he came back, he would complain to Lu Hongda every day. Anyway, money was needed everywhere to do things in the capital. However, what he talked about more was the past few days in the court.  Another big thing that is getting worse.  ¡¾Brothers, please recommend me~~¡¿
