The Second Reich: Beginning with the Prince of Prussia

As a famous corrupt official in history, He Shen's ability to be greedy for money is very famous!

The emperor asked him to be in charge of negotiating arms procurement, which made He Shen's heart suddenly bloom!

The arms trade has had a lot of oil and water since ancient times!

Not to mention such a large order as a warship?

According to the current price of warships on the market, a large warship can easily reach a sky-high price of millions or even millions of taels of silver!

With such a high price, he only needs to get a little oil and water from it.

That can make him a lot of money!

So, for the task given to him by the emperor.

He Shen didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.

In his opinion, this is not a task, but an opportunity for the emperor to give him a fortune!

Moreover, such a major matter as the purchase of warships, the emperor can hand it over to him so confidently.

Doesn't this show that the emperor has a lot of trust in him?

As a corrupt official, the biggest reason why He Shen can embezzle hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

It is the emperor's connivance, if the emperor does not condone his nonsense.

Wouldn't he have been impeached 800 times by those clean officials a long time ago?

Therefore, in He Shen's opinion, the emperor handed over this matter to him to deal with.

is conniving at him to make money from this business, as for how much money he is greedy.

The emperor probably doesn't care, as long as he doesn't mess things up, then everything is as if it never happened.

So, He Shen immediately set off by boat with his housekeeper Liu Quan, after making preparations.

Go to Europe and get ready to go around Europe.

......

Three months later, He Shen and others came to the European continent.

Because they were traveling north via the Mediterranean, the first country they visited was Italy in the south.

The Italians were surprised by the visit of Heshen and others, who had no colonies in the Far East.

So they didn't have much to do with the overlords of the Far East, and they weren't the top powers.

Therefore, when countries purchase arms, they will not be given top priority.

Countries around the world used to go to powerhouses like the Sun Never Sets and the Second Empire to purchase weapons, and very few of them came to Italy.

And even more so a great power like the hegemon of the Far East.

However, such a large list was delivered to the door by itself.

How could the Linger miss it?

So, their Prime Minister Antonio personally went out to welcome the visit of He Shen and others.

And enthusiastically showed them the strength of the Italian navy, and also took them to visit the Italian naval shipyard.

Let them have a preliminary understanding of the strength of Yi Duli.

Antonio did not know what the industrial strength of the overlord of the Far East was, but since the other party was the hegemon of one side.

And with a land area of tens of millions of square kilometers, it is certainly not a weak country.

So he behaved very politely along the way, trying his best to please the other party.

He Shen didn't really care much about such a small country as Yiduli.

After all, the other party is only a small country with an area of only 300,000 square kilometers, which is not as big as their province.

But after they visited the sea parade held by the Italins.

He Shen and the other high-ranking officials were frightened and changed their faces!

The naval power of the Italians is not very strong in Europe.

But they still had a powerful fleet of a dozen battleships, dozens of large warships.

Seeing this 10,000-ton steel giant ship passing in front of them, He Shen and the others were so frightened that their legs were weak.

Compared to them, the sailors of the imperial court looked like toys, and they were no match for them at all.

Although He Shen doesn't know much about the navy, it is so intuitive and has such a huge gap.

Unless he is blind, it is impossible not to see it!(If you read a violent novel, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And this is just the strength of a small country!

And to what extent did the other European powers, which were more powerful than the Italians, have been?

............

The news that the mission of the Far Eastern hegemon arrived in Europe, preparing to purchase a large number of warships from Europe.

It was like it had grown wings, and it soon spread throughout Europe. []

Affected by this news, countries have geared up.

They are all ready to show them their strong military strength when the other party arrives.

Thus attracting them, getting that big order from them.

And some of the powers, like the sun never sets and Gaul.

even took the initiative to send someone to Yiduli and contact He Shen and others in advance.

While acting as a guide for them along the way, explaining the customs of European countries.

On the other hand, they are invited to visit their home countries first, so as to have a head start when competing for orders.

However, among the many powers, there was one country that reacted differently.

......

The capital of the Second Empire, the city of Bolin.

Andrews also received the news that He Shen and others had arrived in Europe.

"It's a little slower than I expected, but they're acting.!"

Andrews sighed in his heart, the reaction speed of the Far Eastern Overlord was much slower than he expected.

If it were normal, when the Japanese people started to act, they should have started to act as well.

This is probably the sluggishness of the great powers!

"Your Majesty, should we also send people to the south, welcome them, and invite them to visit the empire by the way?"

The trade secretary was clearly salivating over this huge order, and he did not want to give such a large order to other countries for nothing.

"No, we don't have to invite ourselves, they will definitely come!"

Andrews shook his head and said firmly.

While all the other countries took the initiative to run over to Tie Heshen, the Empire did not follow suit.

Once such news reaches He Shen's ears, it is bound to arouse his curiosity.

In addition, the warships of the Japanese were ordered from the side of the Second Empire (Zhao Hao).

So sooner or later, He Shen and the others would hear the name of the Second Empire, and when the time came, they would only need to investigate a little to find out this fact.

Then, they will learn.

In the past five years, the warships of the Second Reich have been the most sold and the best sold country in the world!

In this way, they naturally became curious about the Second Empire.

They will also take the initiative to come to inspect and talk to them about the order when the time comes.

It's much more logical, and because the empire has not lowered its profile.

So when asking for a price, I am also more confident!

It's called, Wanting to Catch and Indulge!

However, there is one thing that makes the emperor a little worried, that is, He Shen is a corrupt official.

If other countries spend money to buy Heshen, then I'm afraid things will be variable!
