Chapter 356 German Special Envoy (4)

After Pitts recognized the three sets of British ship drawings, the cooperation between the time travelers and Germany could also be carried out. Therefore, Qin Zheng said to Heinrich: "Prince, when will our official talks be held?"

Heinrich said: "Political Commissar Qin, it's getting late today. I think it'll be held tomorrow morning."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, we have prepared rooms for both of you in the hotel. So we will have a good rest in Qingdao tonight. It's just that you are visiting Qingdao secretly, so I won't send you two."

Heinrich said again: "Political Commissar Qin, I have another request."

Qin Zheng said: "Please say it."

Heinrich said: "I hope to meet Marshal Wadesi and I hope you can provide convenience."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Prince, please rest assured. We have arranged for Marshal Wadesi, Major General Falkenheis, Major General Ger, Major General Schwartzhoff, Lindrot, Helvik, Yankel and other captains to stay in the hotel. After the Prince and General Tirpitz arrived at the hotel, they could meet them."

Heinrich was also a little surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that this group of overseas Chinese were very generous, so he nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank you."

In fact, after receiving the news that the German envoy came to visit Qingdao, the traveler moved Wadesi, Falkenheis, Ger, Schwartzhoff, and several captured warship captains out of the prisoners of war camp and arranged a residence for them. After all, these people were senior officials in the German army. Treating them well was also a sign of the traveler's kindness to Germany. The environment, conditions and diet of the new residence were of course much better than that of the prisoners of war camps, and they did not have to participate in physical labor, but their movements were still restricted, so Wadesi and others were naturally happy.

After the German envoy arrived in Qingdao, the time traveler estimated that the German envoy would definitely ask to meet these people when he arrived, so he was happy and simply arranged them to the hotel where the German envoy was to stay and let them meet.

The hotel where Heinrich and Tirpitz stayed was the Prince Heinrich Hotel named after Heinrich. Because the Sailor Club built by Heinrich is still under construction, this hotel is the best hotel in Qingdao now and is naturally used to receive German envoys.

After checking in the hotel, Heinrich couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. When he came to Qingdao last time, the hotel had just opened, and the decorations in the hotel had almost no changes. Even most of the staff, German managers and managers were not changed. They just arranged a company of People's Army guards to be on duty in the hotel. But now Qingdao is not a German colony, so Heinrich couldn't help but feel that things are different.

After staying in the hotel, Heinrich did not meet Wadesi and others immediately, but called the German manager who stayed at the hotel to ask about the situation. Because Heinrich often visited and knew that in other countries, it would monitor the rooms they checked in. Of course, the monitoring technology of this era was still very backward, and the general method could only be to use iron pipes and other equipment in the neighboring rooms or upstairs and downstairs.

However, the manager's words made Heinrich feel relieved. It turned out that after the time travelers occupied Qingdao, they did not renovate the hotel. Although the German envoy checked the room before checking in the hotel, there was no equipment for Jieting. Moreover, only German envoys checked in the entire hotel, and there were no one else, so it is certain that there was absolutely no Jieting.

Heinrich didn't quite believe that overseas Chinese would really be so relieved by themselves? So he checked upstairs and downstairs on his room and found that no one lived in it, and it also confirmed that the manager's words were correct. Heinrich was completely relieved. It seemed that this group of overseas Chinese really wanted to cooperate with Germany. Therefore, he hurriedly sent someone to send a message to Germany to report on the talks with overseas Chinese today, as well as the results of Tirpitz's identification of the drawings, and also explained his attitude, believing that Germany should cooperate with overseas Chinese.

Then Heinrich and Tirpitz met with Wadesi and others, listened to their speeches and exchanges with overseas Chinese, as well as their attitudes and suggestions on the talks with overseas Chinese.

In fact, Heinrich didn't know that time travelers were disdainful to use the inferior eavesdropping methods of this era. After all, time travelers have a large number of high-tech listening equipment that can perform long-distance eavesdropping. In advance, the time travelers have installed listening devices in the rooms where German envoys and Wadesi and others live. In fact, some of them are under the control of the time travelers.

Of course, Wadesi and others hope that Germany can negotiate cooperation with time travelers. Although their living conditions are improving now, they are still prisoners after all. Only when Germany and time travelers reach cooperation can they have hope of returning to Germany. Otherwise, they will be sent back to the prisoner-of-war camp sooner or later. Of course, they do not advocate unconditional agreements with overseas Chinese. After all, overseas Chinese are not well handled, so Heinrich and Tirpitz might as well make good use of this to put pressure on overseas Chinese and strive for greater benefits for Germany.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Heinrich received a reply from Germany. Germany agreed to cooperate with overseas Chinese in military and economic terms, but made two requirements for Heinrich and Tirpitz. First, we must obtain three sets of drawings of British ships, and the faster the better, because after receiving Heinrich's telegram, William II had ordered that the construction of the third and fourth ships of the Vecchelsbach-class battleship was temporarily stopped, and prepared to prepare for the construction of the third and fourth ships of the Vecchelsbach-class battleship. After studying the drawings of the three sets of British ships, some modifications were made to the original design of this class of warships to further improve this type of warship. The other type of Frederick III battleship all completed the launch of the hull, but the last three are still in the outfit and cannot be changed; the second is to ensure Germany's interests in Qingdao, which is economic interests. After all, Germany also knows that Qingdao's sovereignty will definitely not come back, and it can only protect Germany's economic interests in Qingdao as much as possible.

The next morning, Qin Zheng, Heinrich and Tirpitz held formal talks.

Although the two sides have intended to cooperate, the negotiations are still very difficult. After all, both sides want to try their best to win benefits for themselves, so naturally they will not make concessions easily.

First, on the delivery of three sets of British-Shaped ship drawings, the two sides had a fierce dispute. The German side asked the time travelers to hand over the three sets of drawings to the special envoy immediately after the talks were over and brought back to Germany.

Of course, the time traveler would not agree to this condition. After all, these three sets of drawings are the biggest baits to lure Germany. Now that Germany has no power and has done nothing, it will be given to Germany so easily. Therefore, Qin Zheng's request is that he must wait until the war between China is officially over before he can hand over these three sets of drawings to Germany, and Germany needs to do his best to promote the end of China's war.

However, Heinrich could not agree to the terms of the time traveler. Although the battlefield in China cannot be fought on the battlefield now, it is still far from the official end of the war, because Heinrich knew very well that the negotiation conditions of the time traveler were far from the goals of various countries. This negotiation would be difficult to achieve a result. So Germany would have to wait until the year of the monkey and horse month to obtain these three sets of drawings, and the German shipyard was still waiting. Therefore, Heinrich only promised that Germany would do its best to promote the official end of China's war in the negotiations, but it could not be guaranteed, and these three sets of drawings must be given to Germany first.

As a result, after a verbal battle, the two sides finally made a move. Germany promised to do its best to promote the success of the Shanghai negotiations. After the Shanghai negotiations are over, regardless of whether they succeed or not, the time traveler will first hand over the drawings of the old man's star battleship to Germany and bring them back to Germany by Tirpitz. The remaining two sets of drawings must be handed over to Germany when the Chinese war officially ends.

Of course, the Time Traveler also proposed a plan to break up, that is, if the Shanghai negotiations were not successful, but Germany unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Time Traveler for negotiations, the Time Traveler could also hand over the remaining two sets of drawings to Germany. Because although Germany is actually in name only among the Eight-Nation Alliance, Germany is the most powerful country in Europe's Big Six and has a huge influence. If Germany unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Eight-Nation Alliance, which has already suffered a great loss of strength, and even leads to an interlocking effect, causing the Eight-Nation Alliance to solve the problem.

Heinrich and Tirpitz also looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Although Germany does not have a soldier in the Eight-Nation Alliance, if they do as required by the time travelers, it will cause Germany to bear heavy diplomatic pressure. This is equivalent to Germany being the first to betray the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Although every country in the Eight-Nation Alliance knows that this alliance can't be maintained at all, no one wants to be the first betrayer. After all, the first betrayer will be under great moral pressure. At this time, Germany was not popular in the European 6th. It was originally under great pressure in diplomacy. If it was the first betrayer, it would bear greater diplomatic pressure.

So Heinrich tried his final effort, saying that Germany could sign a secret agreement with the time travelers, and only retained the famous discussion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but would never dispatch one army and one soldier to participate in any operation of the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, Qin Zheng immediately rejected Heinrich's proposal, insisting that Germany must clearly announce its withdrawal from the Eight-Nation Alliance to count. Because for the time travelers, only in this way can the Eight-Nation Alliance be withdrawn and disintegrated.
