Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 174 Buying Two More Destroyers

"It's like this. Our country's military has always been very good at training officers and technical personnel, so the navy obviously has more people, but our equipment can't keep up. I feel sad when I say this. Everyone knows that Germans have the best technology, but our country is too small and we don't have that many resources. There is no problem in helping you train some naval personnel. Our German naval officers are of course the best in the world."

The Germans are sometimes so unreliable when they say everything they have. They say that you have the best, but why was your German Navy so badly beaten by the British Navy when fighting against them? The Battle of Jutland in World War I has already shown the gap between your German Navy and the British Navy.

The British Navy's warships are not much different from yours, but in the end you were beaten so hard that you hid in your homes and dared not go out.

However, there is one thing that the whole world has really seen, that is, the losses of the British Navy were slightly greater, and the quality of the German Navy was also reflected at this time, especially the German Navy's shipbuilding technology. However, that thing has little to do with Mao Yuanshan now. I will not buy warships from you Germany, and there is no use for that technology. You just need to help me train personnel.

"This is really great, Colonel Hans. This should be another milestone in our cooperation. You can help me train a large number of technical workers and professionals, and I can pay for all of these." Mao Yuanshan said happily.

In this era, many people do not realize how important the training of technical workers and some professionals is. Only people from later generations know how important talent is.

"Dear Mr. Mao, aren't you looking down on our friends a little too much? It's just some personnel training, which is very simple for our country. You just need to bear some of their living expenses in the local area. As for other things, you don't need to worry about them. As for our allies, we Germans will always be the best friends in the world." Mr. Hans's words won the favor of Mao Yuanshan.

Mr. Hans had his own thoughts when he said this. No one would make contributions for free. This was also paving the way for his next request. His next request was to purchase 20 destroyers, exactly the same as the last time. No matter what Mao Yuanshan asked for, Germany would satisfy it.

"Excuse me for being frank, sir, the quantity you asked for this time is really too large. Let's not talk about what my friend does. No matter how advanced his technology is, he can't provide you with 20 destroyers at once. I think even if all the shipyards in the British Empire were combined, they would not be able to offer you the production of 20 destroyers in the shortest time." Mao Yuanshan said.

What Mao Yuanshan said was of course true. Although the British naval shipyard was very efficient, if you wanted to produce 20 destroyers in just a few months, you might as well just buy a few explosive packs and pile them in their shipyards and blow them up. Even if the order came from God, they would not be able to complete it. It was a bit too much to ask.

Colonel Hans also felt a little guilty, but this was an order from the top domestic officials and he was just an official, so what could he do?

"Dear Mr. Mao, I know this request is a bit excessive, but our situation is really not optimistic. As you know, because of the First World War, we Germans have almost no allies in Europe. The development to this level is all due to the great leadership of our head of state. In addition, we have a heart that never admits failure. We, the Germanic nation, are the same as your Chinese nation. We will become the highest nation in the world. We cannot live in such a small place. Just like our iron-blooded chancellor Mr. Bismarck said, we want to use iron and blood to create a world for Germany. For this, we must develop our navy and develop a surface navy." It has to be said that Colonel Hans's ability to bewitch people is exactly the same as that of their head of state.

Then Colonel Hans explained to Mao Yuanshan the current situation in Europe. According to him, Germany was now in dire straits, and other countries were ready to unite to destroy Germany because Germany's development had caused their dissatisfaction.

In Mao Yuanshan's mind, Colonel Hans is also an Oscar-winning actor. How could he not know this issue of history? History was his favorite subject when he was in school because it can teach people a lot of knowledge. Now the whole of Europe lives under the shadow of the Nazi iron hoof. It's good enough if you don't attack others. Do you still have to worry about others attacking you?

Britain and France are now pursuing a policy of appeasement. Every time you invade a small country, they will offer you their support with both hands. Your current situation can be said to be very good, and it is definitely not what you are saying now. However, since both sides are allies, you cannot do such things as undermining each other's foundations. All Mao Yuanshan has to do is listen quietly.

In fact, according to Mao Yuanshan's current situation, it would not be a problem even if he exchanged for 200 destroyers. The reason for saying this is to tell them his difficulties and let them understand that the things on his side are not so easy to get. Of course, a thing that everyone is fighting for can be sold at a high price. If it is a common thing on the street, how can it be sold at a high price?

If two pure soldiers came to do business, it would certainly not be so troublesome. Colonel Hans is a pure soldier, so he is straightforward when doing business, including the personnel training plan just now, which is just a brief mention to you. His mind is not so full of detours. Although Mao Yuanshan is not a businessman, his mind, which came from the later decades, is much more flexible than these people. He thinks about more things, so he will not suffer any loss in anything he does.

After a half-hour speech, Colonel Hans finally shut up and told everything he knew about the situation in Europe. Of course, most of it was exaggerated. Germany was like a weak baby, and the surrounding Britain, France, and even Poland were like giants who were ready to bully them at any time. Without these 20 destroyers, they might not be able to survive.
