Rebirth of the National Marshal

Generally speaking, if a person wants to lie, it must be because it is beneficial to him or can help him achieve some purpose. But after analyzing for a long time, they have not found any benefit from Mao Yuanshan's government's lie. Now the Germans can be said to be one of the only few countries in the world that support them. If they lose even the support of the Germans, they will become very passive when facing the Soviets and the Japanese.

If the Soviets and the Japanese join forces, it is very likely that they will be wiped out, and very easily. Now the Germans are like their life-saving straw. Of course, this is just the Germans' analysis. If they knew that Mao Yuanshan had a system in his hands, I am afraid they would be crying and shouting for an alliance with Mao Yuanshan, and might even become Mao Yuanshan's younger brothers.

The Germans are very efficient, even their top leaders are very efficient. After hearing the news, the German head of state summoned all the country's top leaders to participate in the meeting. Although they did not believe that this person had naval destroyers, they sent a telegram to Colonel Hans saying that they could trade the first batch of ten ships.

Of course, the German top leaders wanted to use the German Mark to make this deal, but Mao Yuanshan demanded that the transaction must be made with German industrial production lines or US dollars. Nothing else was allowed. This made the Germans feel humiliated. Is our German currency worse than that of the Americans?

In fact, this was due to Mao Yuanshan. He knew very well that in the coming war, all currencies except the US dollar would become wildly valuable, especially the German mark, which was almost like waste paper in the later stages of the war. The pound sterling depreciated a little slower, but throughout the entire war, only the US dollar remained strong from the beginning to the end.

Mao Yuanshan has thought about establishing his own monetary system to replace the new world political and economic order, but now that even survival is difficult, he has to put that wish aside for the time being.

"Please wait a moment, our governor will be here soon." Government staff invited Colonel Hans and his adjutant to the conference room. They are now the most distinguished guests of Mao Yuanshan's government.

"I'm really sorry, Colonel Hans. I just went to see the generators shipped from your country. They are really standard goods. Siemens' quality is really admirable." About five minutes later, Mao Yuanshan came in with Zhang Zizhong and Wang Bing.

"Thank you very much for your satisfaction with our country's goods. We will continue to provide you with such reliable things in the future. We are here mainly for the matter of the destroyers." Mao Yuanshan at least had some greetings when he spoke, but the old-fashioned Germans had no such concept at all. In their impression, they had to finish what they had to do before talking about other things, and they couldn't even say it perfunctorily.

"I wonder how the top leaders of your country have discussed it?" Mao Yuanshan's heart was in his throat at this time. It can be said that the main customer of this batch of destroyers is the Germans. If they agree, the next step of development funds for the entire government will basically be in place. In addition, the foundation for making China an industrialized country will be laid.

"We in the German Navy basically manufacture all of our warships ourselves, so we don't have much faith in foreign technology. However, in order to maintain our cooperative relationship, our great leader can still order ten destroyers from you." Even if these Germans want to ask you to do something, they won't be so tactful in their words. But now we are weak, and they are our customers, and customers are God. Don't worry about these words, as long as you get the deal done in the end.

Mao Yuanshan smiled and shook hands with Colonel Hans. The cooperation was basically signed. Mao Yuanshan was not afraid of future orders from the Germans at all, because as long as the Germans found that these destroyers were brand new and powerful, they would continue to place orders. You must know that there were only 24 destroyers in the German High Seas Fleet, while the British had hundreds of them at the same time.

Although it is impossible for the German Navy to develop to the same scale as the British Navy, it is impossible to establish its position on the sea without a hundred destroyers.

"I wonder how you choose to pay?" Zhang Zizhong added. There is no need for the boss to come out and talk about such trivial matters. As a deputy, this is what he should do.

"This is our list. You can take a look at it. These are the military and civilian production lines we can use. I believe they can offset part of the payment. We can pay the rest with US dollars and gold." Hans motioned to the adjutant next to him to take out the list.

Mao Yuanshan and two other people quickly leaned forward to see what the list was. It listed two Mauser rifle production lines, two bullet production lines, two 5-ton steel blast furnaces and related supporting facilities, one set of coal mining equipment with an annual output of 20 tons, a Maxim heavy machine gun production line, and a mm mountain cannon shell production line.

The items on this list are worth at least 1000 million oceans, and the Germans are also prepared to use them to offset 900 million oceans of payment for goods, and the rest will all be paid in US dollars or gold. Mao Yuanshan nodded, which was basically the same.

"I have always admired the sincerity of you Chinese people in doing business. Only by doing business in this way can we survive in the long run. But now our actual difficulty is the lack of large-caliber heavy artillery. Although I can get 203mm howitzers from the United States, the largest heavy artillery in Japan is 320mm and 150mm. I am far behind them. I wonder if you can export some mm heavy artillery to us?" The central government once purchased Krupp mm heavy artillery, which indeed caused considerable trouble to the Japanese in the early days of the War of Resistance.

In fact, if possible, Mao Yuanshan wanted to buy a production line, but he thought that even if he bought a production line, the steel produced by his factory would be unqualified and would explode before firing two shots. It would not be worth it for him, so he might as well buy some products first. Anyway, his system would most likely unlock such products in the future, and the caliber might even be much larger than this.
