Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Because even if it is cooperation, both sides should be equal. It is like a lion can only talk about equal cooperation with tigers, and only force the rabbits to demand it. If we hadn't annihilated the German Far East Fleet and captured Qingdao, it showed that we had enough strength to negotiate with Germany, but the Prince would still sit in front of me and discuss cooperation with me calmly? I'm afraid it's like three years ago, the Prince would come over with an army and force us to hand over the drawings of the three British ships. Isn't that the case?"

Heinrich couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this. He originally proposed the losses of Germany, but he really hoped that overseas Chinese could make some concessions in the formal negotiations. After all, you caused me to suffer losses. Therefore, now that the two sides have cooperated, they should naturally give me some compensation. However, Qin Zheng's reply was far beyond Heinrich's expectations. He did not use any diplomatic words, but directly mentioned the essence of the negotiations. The negotiations did not sympathize with the weak party, but were guaranteed by the strength of both parties. As Qin Zheng said, if it were replaced by the Qing court with these three sets of British ship drawings, Germany would not have negotiated so honestly, but directly threatened by force.

Qin Zheng then said: "In addition, we also believe that the greater the loss Germany loses in this battle, the more likely it is to cooperate with us. Because Germany cannot allow itself to suffer such a major loss, so it must do its best to recover the loss. The best choice is to cooperate with us. I do not deny that Germany's losses are caused by us, but a qualified politician should understand that there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends. It is always national interests. At least at this stage, cooperation with us has the greatest benefits to Germany. For national interests, France and Russia can work together to form alliances, let alone us and Germany."

Heinrich couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that in this conversation, he had completely entered the other party's pace, so he said: "Political Commissar Qin, I have to admit that you are an excellent orator, an excellent diplomat, and an outstanding politician. To be honest, I have been convinced by you. As long as the appraisal results of General Tirpitz prove that the three sets of drawings you provide are real, we can negotiate cooperation and it is a great honor to be able to talk to you."

Qin Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Prince, you are too rewarding. I believe that your decision will bring huge benefits to Germany and far exceed that of Germany's losses, so you will never regret it."

In fact, before coming to Qingdao, Heinrich and Tirpitz stayed in Shanghai for three days to collect and investigate information about overseas Chinese. After all, if you want to negotiate with each other, you must first understand the other party’s situation.

At this time, all countries were also trying their best to collect information from overseas Chinese, and they would gain some gains. After all, the time traveler has appeared for half a year, and a lot of real and fake news has been spread. The booklets introducing the history of the time traveler have been circulated, and all countries have interpreted the booklets themselves. Of course, they are all similar.

The German Consulate in Shanghai also divided the origins of overseas Chinese and came to some uncertain conclusions. First of all, it was certain that this group of people was indeed Chinese, but they had left China National Day and lived overseas hundreds of years ago, and established a country on an island. The reason why the ancestors of overseas Chinese left China National Day and the Germans speculated that it should be related to the current Chinese ruler Qing, because the ruler of the Qing Dynasty was not Han, but Manchu. About 25 years ago, the Manchus conquered China National Day and became the ruler of this land. The ancestors of overseas Chinese should have fled China National Day and were ruled by the Manchus at that time.

The reason is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China overseas, they were still very low-key. Although they participated in the world's maritime trade, they deliberately concealed their identity and history, probably because they were afraid of the Qing court's pursuit of them, so they were not known to the world for a long time. However, the technological level of this group of overseas Chinese was roughly the same as that of Europe, and there seemed to be no need to be afraid of the Qing court.

Not long ago, a volcano exploded on the island where the overseas Chinese founded a country and sank. Only this group of survivors were left, with about 6ooo people. Maybe they felt that there was no way out, and they knew that the Qing court had been extremely weak, so they came back to China for 600s.

Although they are of the same race, this group of overseas Chinese are completely different from the Chinese who live in the Chinese Big 6. They are more advanced, civilized, open, and have a good understanding of the overall world situation. Their way of thinking and action habits are very similar to those of Europeans.

Heinrich thought these information was a bit incredible, but at least he had a general understanding of overseas Chinese. Heinrich had participated in negotiations with the Qing court and was received by the Chinese emperor and the empress dowager. He knew that although the Qing Dynasty had begun some modernization changes, it was essentially a medieval country. This group of overseas Chinese was obviously different from the Qing Dynasty, so he must not communicate with overseas Chinese with the mentality of treating the Qing Dynasty.

However, although Heinrich had attached great importance to overseas Chinese in his heart, after talking to Qin Zheng, Heinrich was surprised because Qin Zheng's knowledge, concepts, grasp of the situation and frank style were very rare even among European politicians. Qin Zheng was only one of the leaders of overseas Chinese, which also shows that the leadership of overseas Chinese is quite outstanding.

Before he knew it, the morning passed like this, while Tirpitz was still looking at the drawings and asked to deliver lunch to the room. He wanted to eat and read it. Qin Zheng invited Heinrich to have lunch together and continued to chat.

The two then talked about the history and current situation of Europe, from the beginning of the British Revolution, to the French Revolution, the Napoleon War, to the rise of Russia, the unification of Germany, to the current situation in Europe after the Franco-Prussian War, the Crimean War and the Russian-Turkish War, as well as Germany's current strategic dilemma.

This also changed Heinrich's view of Qin Zheng again, because Qin Zheng had a profound understanding of European history and was well organized, and had a very unique view on the internal connection and interaction of each major historical event. Many of them were the first time Heinrich heard it, and it made Heinrich feel that he had gained a lot of knowledge and felt that he would also add the title of historian to Qin Zheng.

It was not until after 3:00 pm that Qin Zheng and Heinrich returned to the reception room to continue drinking coffee and chatting. At this time, Tirpitz and Huang Zhe came out of the room where the identification drawings were identified.

Although Heinrich wanted to continue chatting with Qin Zheng, he still knew that the main business was important, so he immediately stopped talking with Qin Zheng and stood up to greet Tirpitz. Although he did not ask, when he saw Tirpitz's expression, Heinrich knew the authenticity of the drawings, because Tirpitz's face was red and his eyes were full of excitement, Heinrich didn't understand the result.

At this time, Qin Zheng first asked Pitts and Huang Zhe to sit down, poured them coffee, and then said: "General Tirpitts, how did you identify the drawings?"

Tirpitz took a sip of coffee and said, "Political Commissar Qin, thank you very much for providing these three sets of drawings. In addition, Second Lieutenant Huang is indeed an excellent warship designer. He has many advanced and practical ideas. Today I learned a lot of knowledge. This trip to Qingdao was indeed a correct decision."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "You are too rewarding, but Lieutenant Huang is indeed our excellent talent. If our country is not destroyed, Lieutenant Huang should have begun to preside over the construction of the warship."

It turned out that at the beginning, Tirpitz did not take Huang Zhe seriously. After all, the experience of building a ship requires time to accumulate, and Huang Zhe was only in his twenties and could know much. However, Huang Zhe explained the design ideas of these three types of British ships to Tirpitz. After Huang Zhe explained the advantages and disadvantages of these three types of British ships, Tirpitz's view of Huang Zhe greatly improved, because he was definitely an expert in making such comments. At the same time, Tirpitz was basically sure that these three sets of drawings were indeed true.

Huang Zhe also felt emotional. After commenting on these three types of British ships, he also evaluated the British monarchy, 100-man long-rank, and prestige-class battleships. Since Germany aimed at building the ocean-going navy, he naturally tried his best to collect information on the British ships. Although he had not obtained a full set of drawings of the British ships, he did collect a lot of information, and naturally analyzed the design ideas of these warships. It can be said that Tirpitz is not unfamiliar with these types of warships.

However, after listening to Huang Zhe's comments and comments, Tirpitz had to admit that Huang Zhe's comments were indeed much more wise than Germany. Some Germany could not understand the problem before and then heard Huang Zhe's comments, and then he suddenly realized it and felt a little enlightened.

Then Tirpitz asked Huang Zhe to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the two types of warships of the German Far East Fleet, Brandenburg-class battleships, and Earl Bismarck-class cruisers. Huang Zhe was not polite, and pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the designs of these two types of warships, which also made Tirpitz nodded repeatedly, and admired Huang Zheji with great admiration. This was simply a genius warship designer. Shi had the idea of ​​poaching Huang Zhe away.

Originally, Tirpitz wanted Huang Zhe to evaluate the second type Frederick III battleship and the Vechersbach-class battleship that Germany was building, but Huang Zhe realized that these two types of warships were still under construction. Qin Zheng's requirement for him was that he could only talk about the warships he had built, and could not mention the warships that were under construction or not built, so he said that there were no drawings and it was difficult to comment.
