"I'm busy, what's the matter?"

"Hehe... good things." Wu Mozhou smiled like a rat stealing chicken, dragged Major General Conrad Adenauer to the side of the Western pavilion and said mysteriously; "Old Kang, I know that the Germanic community you organized actively supports German-white immigration. I can also introduce preferential policies here, welcome European immigrants mainly from Germany to Mozambique to build a happy home and create happiness together..."

"Oh... OK, OK, I don't have time to chat with you." Major General Conrad Adenauer waved his hand, interrupted the other party's words, and turned around and wanted to leave.

He and Wu Mozhou are old acquaintances. Germans in Songjiang City have participated a lot. From Songjiang Reservoir, Steel Plant, General Machinery Factory to Goodyear Rubber Company, German engineering and technical personnel are active everywhere. The two are very familiar with each other, and they have nothing to do together, but Lao Bai has been drinking a lot.

But Major General Conrad Adenauer was not interested in Wu Mozhou's proposal.

The primary destination for German immigrants is the major cities in Queensland. After all, the major cities have developed industry and commerce, high living standards, and rich educational resources and material foundations, which are far from comparable to overseas territories.

Even as a rancher and planter, isn’t he fragrant in northern Queensland? Is he fragrant in New South Wales? Is he fragrant in Victoria?

If you are not good, you can go to Shangri-La Island or Borneo. After all, it is closer to Australia and has a more mature development.

Mozambique is east of the east of Pas, the capital of Western Australia, Australia. It has a straight line distance of 6,600 kilometers. It needs to cross the entire vast Indian Ocean, and there is no small island in the middle that can be used to dock.

According to the technical level of today's era, it is an extremely dangerous ocean channel. The changing weather and shocking waves in the ocean are the horn of death. Ordinary cargo ships and even cruise ships will not choose this channel, which is too dangerous.

They would rather circle the eastern coastal channel of Africa and head north, pass through the Mogadishu waters in the Horn of Africa and enter the Arabian Sea, along the Indian, Malacca and Borneo routes, and arrive in Australia. This mature route has a large number of supply points, docks and ship repair plants along the coast. When encountering strong winds and waves in the sea, you can enter the port to hide at any time.

The disadvantages are also obvious. The total flight from Mozambique to Queensland, Australia is as high as 15,500 kilometers (note, the straight line distance from Pas to the Red River Valley, Queensland, is 3,620 kilometers, and there is no land road for the time being. If you detour through the northern channel, the distance is 4,760 kilometers), it is almost half farther than the straight line.

Major General Conrad Adenauer lacks any interest in this place because the range of options for German immigrants is too wide. Going to the United States, Canada, Argentina, Australia, and even going to Egypt and South Africa is more attractive than Mozambique.

Mozambique is indeed beautiful in the environment and pleasant climate. The key is to have nothing to do. Social development is in the semi-primitive tribal era, and its attraction to white immigrants is almost 0.

Don't say anything else

The north is a German East African company. As long as German immigrants arrive, just go to the circle as big as the ranch you want.

Carl Peters, president of the German East Africa company, led a team to negotiate in Seoul City. According to him, the largest ranch for the Germans is as high as 6,000 square kilometers. This is not the upper limit. Can Mozambique give such conditions?

The answer is obviously no. Mozambique is mainly a blessed land for Chinese immigrants, rather than German immigrants.

"Hey... don't leave, Lao Kang, I haven't finished saying this yet!"

Wu Mozhou grabbed his arm again. He knew that the old man in front of him looked bad, but he was an immense white German immigrant leader and had a lofty ethnic prestige.

White German immigrants have a high status in Queensland. One military and the other science and technology industry has many talents, and their influence is enough to compete with white British immigrants.

He was very envious of these high-quality white immigrants, diligent and rigorous, and good obedience, which could have a positive effect on Mozambique.

"Stop talking, I will not trick the immigrants who have introduced them at a huge price to this place where birds do not shit. There is no need to discuss this." Major General Conrad Adenauer shook his head like a rattle, with a firm attitude.

"What is cheating... What is this? The conditions in Mozambique are no worse than any place, but they have not developed. This is a good place for German immigrants to display their talents. Whether they operate a ranch or open handicraft workshops, we will give preferential policies."

"I appreciate the good intentions, but I can only say NO."

"Why can't you, a stubborn person, get in? OK... I won't talk about this for the time being, I'll tell you another thing."

Wu Mozhou could not hold him back, so he could only change the topic and said, "Lao Kang, look at Mozambique, this place has the innate conditions for developing water transport. The lower reaches of the Sire River can be passed through all year round. The Malawi Lake District is 560 kilometers north-south, which is also a good place for developing water transport. In addition, the Zambési River Basin can be opened for navigation for more than 8 months every year. This is a vast market.

I don’t brag about you. The conditions for Mozambique to develop inland shipping are no less than Shangri-Razor. Just look at the inland shipping industry in Tianshu City, which is now developing in full swing, and you will know that there is great potential for investment in the shipbuilding industry.

I want you to invest some money. Wouldn’t it be nice for us to take this way to make a fortune in our hands?"

"Mr. Wu, frankly speaking, I'm not very interested in this. Why don't you look at the rest of the Expeditionary Force?" Major General Conrad Adenner politely refused.

He does have some money and German immigrants are richer, but there are many local investment opportunities in Australia. Who would like to go to Mozambique, thousands of miles away to invest?

As one of Queensland’s top figures, do you still lack investment opportunities?

"No, let's talk..."

Wu Mozhou was not that easy to fool, and tried his best to get some money from this old guy, so he started lobbying endlessly.

After a moment

Major General Conrad Adenauer was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree to invest 20,000 pounds in a joint venture to establish a shipyard. This investment looks more reliable, at least he will not lose money.

The Qiqu Town Steel Plant has an annual output of 30,000 tons, and it does not have the ability to produce special high-quality steel plates in the early stage. However, it will also introduce advanced blast furnaces to expand the production scale in the future. It should be no problem to produce some thin steel plates for building inland ships.

Because of the complex water conditions and waterway conditions in the Mozambique region, inland ships suitable for the Mozambique region will not be very large. Basically, they are the mainstream within the range of 50 tons to 150 tons. They can penetrate deep into inland tributaries with shallow water depths, which are cheap and have a wide range of uses.

The number of larger inland ships is limited and is mainly suitable for trunk channel transportation. These small and medium-sized inland ships require relatively low production requirements for special steel plates.

After entangled for a while, Wu Mozhou finally let go of his hand and let the major general with a black line leave.

He was not afraid of the investment promised by the Chief of Staff, because there were more than a dozen young and middle-aged German officers in the Mozambique Garrison Command.

He offended the general manager and gave them little shoes every minute.

In the temporary residence

"Haha... Carl Peters wants to see me?" Li Fushou asked with a smile.

"Yuan Ding, why did you ask me knowingly?" Wu Mozhou rolled his eyes helplessly and complained wildly in his heart; Look how fresh you said!

Carl Peters excitedly led the team to participate in the boundary negotiations, and his attitude was very positive. As a result, before he arrived, you left, Count. There was only one day difference between them. Do you think about this?

The Earl was inspecting outside for a month and a half, while Carl Peters stayed in Seoul City for a month and a half. The results achieved by both sides were extremely limited.

This famous adventurer who dared to be strongly accused of the German Iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck. Because he independently developed the East African colonies and enjoyed a very high reputation in Germany, he was by no means a soft persimmon that could be easily grasped. He insisted that the German East African colonies should share the Malawi region.

It has violated Queensland's bottom line, how can we continue to talk about it?

"Let's sit down, Brother Mo Zhou, we are not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if we can't reach the result for three or two years. After the immigration sites are spread, the Germans are still pinching their noses to admit our facts. This is not something Carl Peters can decide. What does his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness have to do with me?"

Li Fushou sat down calmly, and the secretary presented a fragrant coffee. Wu Mozhou could only sigh and sat down and said, "Yuan Ding, what I mean is that since the two sides can reach an agreement, why should the relationship be very stiff?"

"He should know our bottom line, right?"

"Yes, Carl Peters knows that the Viagra we set up, and that we have established ourselves in the Malawi region unless we expel or conflict, but we hope to be compensated in other ways due to the Germanic stubbornness."

"Oh, have you revealed what expectations?"

"This is something that needs to be discussed in detail, but Carl Peters strongly demands to meet you, otherwise it will be meaningless to continue the negotiations. The breakdown of the demarcation negotiations is almost inevitable. This is a German who values ​​honor and face, with a strong sense of self-esteem and hopes to get your equal treatment."

"Hahaha... an interesting adventurer." Li Fushou picked up the coffee and took a sip, without rushing to answer.

At this moment, various ideas emerged in his mind. After considering the pros and cons, he felt that it would be a favorable choice to reach boundary negotiations as soon as possible.

Clarifying the territorial dispute between the two sides does not mean that they will not be able to interfere in Tanzania, which is in East Africa in the future. As long as the world war is launched more than 20 years later, all the German colonies overseas will not be kept, and there is no need for any reason to start a war.
