Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 172 The Role of the Germans

However, the Germans did not completely break off relations with the Japanese, because the Chahar local government was still an ideal candidate for cultivation and had not yet truly grown up.

Moreover, if they could attract 50 Soviet troops, that would mean they had used all their strength. Of course, they could not use all their strength to attack the Soviets. The main target of their national humiliation and family feud was the Japanese.

The Germans also did some research on the Chinese. In their opinion, the Japanese are the Chinese's biggest enemy. Facing their biggest enemy, the Chinese may burst out with 120% of their combat effectiveness, but if facing the Soviets, it would be good if they could burst out with % of their combat effectiveness. This is the relationship between aggression and counter-aggression.

Colonel Hans came to Chahar this time with two main things. One was to hand over the aid equipment to the local government of Chahar so that the German officers under him could learn from it and not be arrogant and think that they were the best in the world. In fact, in the far east, there are a group of very good soldiers. We will give you similar equipment so that you can go back and get better training.

The second purpose is still the issue of warships. Ten destroyers cannot alleviate the current problems of the German Navy. More warships are needed. The last time the Germans traded with the Chahar local government, they said that they might have larger warships.

Do we have it this time? Even if not, we still have to purchase a batch of destroyers.

The situation in the world is changing suddenly. If Germany still insists on manufacturing all of its warships as before, then they will be in big trouble. Not to mention the time problem, there are also some technical problems that cannot be solved. After all, all of Germany's major resources are in the army and air force.

If the navy wants to develop, it will inevitably affect their development, which Hitler cannot allow to happen. If he wants to realize Hitler's dream, the army and the air force are the most important.

Therefore, the German government must obtain the cooperation with the Chahar government in the Far East. This time they want to continue to purchase 20 destroyers.

If possible, this number can continue to increase, and through the last transaction, they also found a great benefit, that is, the export of these industrial production lines also boosted the domestic economic circulation in Germany, which is different from simple trade. If it is only purchased with money, Germany needs to export more things to earn back this money. Now directly using domestic production lines to mortgage this part of the payment also promotes the domestic economic development of Germany.

It can be said that every businessman anywhere is willing to do business with such a customer. Now China is in a state of disrepair and has nothing. Any German industrial production line can be exchanged for money.

And now, except for Germany, other countries do not dare to do such a large-scale transaction with China.

In fact, when Colonel Hans arrived, another batch of Krupp heavy artillery had already been prepared, just waiting for a telegram from Colonel Hans, and then they could be delivered directly.

Germany's domestic civilian production lines are basically in a wealthy state, and even some slightly outdated ones can be brought to China for use. After all, China has nothing. If you want the world's latest ones, you can, but they are relatively expensive. Anyway, they are all basic industries, and a few years' difference will not be a big deal.

This point just happened to cater to Mao Yuanshan's idea. I don't need the most advanced technology in the world. You just need to give me some that are not outdated. The important thing is that the quantity must be large. Only when the quantity is sufficient can the country's basic industry develop.

Mao Yuanshan knew his bait very well. As long as he threw it out, the Germans would definitely take it and not let go. So when Colonel Hans came this time, he was not as enthusiastic as last time.

This is also a negotiation skill. When you ask others for help, of course you have to be close to them. But when others ask you for help, if you don’t put on a high profile, you cannot get the maximum value you need.

Although the Germans are very kind to us now, in history, they have taken advantage of us a lot. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the capital, the commander-in-chief of the alliance was a German. They took a lot of things. If they want to beg me now, they must show some sincerity.

Although your sincerity is good now, you must still pay for the mistakes you made in our country in the past. It is not that those things will be forgotten with the passage of time. Mao Yuanshan has never said that he is a broad-minded person. Maybe he is quite broad-minded towards his internal affairs, but not so good towards you invaders.

It was not until the sixth day after Colonel Hans arrived in Chahar that Mao Yuanshan finally found time to meet him.

Of course, the hospitality during this process must not be neglected. Although we can give them a little face, we still cannot refuse to do business with them. This is also Mao Yuanshan’s current dilemma.

It was just as they thought. No one except the Germans could make any deal with the Chahar local military government.

The most important thing is that no country's ships can break through the blockade of the Japanese Navy. Now the Japanese dare not break off with the Germans. The main reason is that a batch of German technology in Japan has not been fully mastered. This period of time is the best time to do business.

Some German experts also need to guide their Japanese students to help them master these technologies.

At this time, if the Japanese Navy seized the German merchant ship, then these German experts could immediately board the ship and go home. As for any problems with your equipment in the future, it is better to let you, the Japanese Navy, solve them yourself. It has nothing to do with us.

So even if the Japanese knew that the Germans were making a deal with the Chahar local government, they could only swallow their anger.

You can’t do this and you can’t do that.

The Japanese headquarters could only urge Japanese technicians to quickly master these equipments so that they could break off relations with the Germans. At least, they should not allow these equipments to be shipped to the Chahar local government again. If the Chahar local government really allowed to develop its own industrial system, it would be really troublesome in the future.
