Chapter 1088

"For the sake of the industry of our empire, now we have a machine that needs to run with this black oil."

Tang Wenjie did not hide.

When he was in Qingzhou, the emperor told him that buying oil in Persia and Osman was the most suitable choice, but not the only one.

If the diplomacy fails, they will spend more energy to exploit oil in Nanyang, so he has a lot of chips in his hand this time.

After a short time of contact, he found that Gambis was still a very smart man. It was unnecessary to deliberately hide. One day Gambis will know that when the lies were exposed, the relationship between the two sides would break.

"I see. I didn't expect black oil to play such an important role."

Gambis is very happy. Now he has at least one thing that he can take the initiative to trade with the eastern empire. Otherwise, he really does not have any chips in this negotiation.

"Indeed, what does your majesty mean? "Tang Wenjie asked again.

Gambis didn't answer. He and Alsace looked at each other and pondered for a moment. He said, "I want to see your steel warships? OK? "

" of course. " Tang Wenjie's brow picked, he finally knew why Gambis wanted what, this is a sly guy.

Temporarily stop negotiations, Tang Wenjie led Gambis and other Persian nobles to board the steel warship in the port.

At the moment of seeing the steel warship, Gambis's eyes never left the six mighty sea beasts.

After seeing the firepower of these warships, Gambis sank and looked at the sea for a long time. He said, "we Persia can supply you with as much oil as you want, but on one premise, you can no longer cooperate with Osman, just buy our black oil. "

Tang Wenjie shook his head with a bitter smile. He said," even businessmen compare goods. If we only buy your black oil, how should we price it? "

this problem immediately baffles Gambis. Black oil in Persia can't be regarded as goods at all. It's very cheap. If the lion opens his mouth at this time, the eastern empire will not accept it.

After thinking about it, he said, "the black oil is free, as long as you help us build a production line for guns and cannons."

Tang Wenjie was surprised. It was a big deal. He didn't dare to agree to it easily, but he could make it the lowest in advance.

So he said: "even if our emperor will promise, you will not get the weapon production line you see now. At most, you will get the same production line as the current level in Europe. Moreover, the Empire will not leak technology, but will only sell production machinery to you. "

" even so, we will be very satisfied. " Gambis said, his heart is clear, no matter how much black oil can't protect, it's just someone else's wealth.

With the ability of the eastern empire, they can absolutely launch a war against Persia to capture black oil, but they obviously do not want to do so now.

Tang Wenjie nodded, "in addition, we also want to buy Abbas port as our trading port. How about your majesty?"

"No king will sell his land, but I can rent it to you." Abbas is in a bit of a dilemma. The issue of land is very serious. Selling land will undoubtedly affect his authority.

Tang Wenjie was a little disappointed, but now he obviously had to step back and ask, "well, I will convey the request of his majesty to our emperor. "Tang Wenjie saluted Gambis.

Gambis was also a little uneasy. He did not know whether the emperor of the Eastern Empire would accept his terms.

In his view, this is an opportunity for the Persian Empire to become strong again. The world has changed and Persia can no longer stagnate.

Otherwise, the East and the West will grind to pieces sooner or later.

After negotiating their respective conditions, Tang Wenjie had no reason to stay. After leaving Gambis, he ordered the warship to return.

"Wuwu..."

With the loud sound of the flute, the six warships sailed slowly to the East.

Gambis and Persian nobles stood in front of the harbor and did not leave. Instead, they watched the six warships that did not need wind disappear completely.

"It's a terrible country. I hope we can have good luck this time instead of war." While Gambis was looking forward to it, he was also worried.

"It's clear that the eastern empires don't want to have one more enemy when they confront the European powers. They come here with good intentions," arsasi said

Gambis's eyes were dazed and turned away with a sigh.

……

Qingzhou.

After a month's voyage, Tang Wenjie landed in Dengzhou and returned here by steam locomotive.

Without time to rest, Tang Wenjie immediately reported his trip to Persia to Xiao Ming.

"Build production lines for muskets and artillery?"

After hearing Tang Wenjie's report, Xiao Ming frowned. It took Tang Wenjie three months.

In the past three months, imperial internal combustion engine factory, imperial automobile factory, imperial industrial machinery factory and imperial heavy industry have been established.Next, the Empire will expand the production of internal combustion engine and internal combustion engine machinery. At this point, the problem of oil is becoming more and more difficult.

"The lower officials and King Gambis of Persia have made it very clear that even if the emperor agrees, they will only set up production lines of muskets and artillery similar to those in the West." Tang Wenjie said carefully.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said: "the oil and weapon production line without money, this Gambis is really a smart man. With the weapon production line, he can compete for the hegemony of Central Asia and get more oil fields. Once he has the weapon production line, he will not lose money."

"This Gambis is really a smart man." Tang Wenjie echoed.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming said: "in this case, we will promise him that we will help them build the production line of the Zhenglu rifle and the production line of the smoothbore gun. These two production lines only need to use the steam engine, and the technical content is not high."

"Do you really promise them?" Tang Wenjie is still a little uncertain.

"The production lines eliminated by the Empire are now piled up in the warehouses. If they rust, it's better to give them to Persia. The news that we buy oil in Persia will soon spread to Europe. At that time, Europe will inevitably be bad. At that time, we need Persia to be able to resist external threats and create a stable environment. At the same time, this Gambis thinks about the production line too simply, Once a production line is set up for them, they will buy our steel to make weapons, and they will also buy ammunition. It means that we have a place for arms dumping. Why not

When Tang Wenjie thought about it, he suddenly patted his head, "yes, so Persia will be tied to our chariot. The emperor is wise. "

Xiao Ming has a smile on his lips. This is an opportunity for him to establish a different OPEC OPEC world version, and he will not miss it.
