Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Colonel Hans, I basically understand what you said, but you can also see the difficulties on my side. I can only make a request to my friends. I can't guarantee what the final result will be because they may not have so many destroyers." Mao Yuanshan did not say anything final because he felt this was a good opportunity to blackmail him, but he just didn't know how to start the conversation.

I just said that the two people are very good friends and the two forces are very good allies. If I start to blackmail them now, my image will be ruined.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Mao. You will be the best friend of our German Empire. If there is anything you need us to do, we will do our best to help you." Colonel Hans has now become a talker, and he can speak Chinese slang fluently.

If you don't look at his blond hair and blue eyes, you might think he is a Beijing tyrant.

"Since we are talking about personnel training, I wonder if the military school over there can help me train a group of talents." Mao Yuanshan wanted weapons, ammunition, civilian production lines and the like, but what he wanted most were the talents, whether they were officers in the army, skilled workers in the factory, or even engineers, which were what he lacked here, including pilots and naval officers, he wanted all of them.

"Of course there is no problem with this. If the number is not too large, I can agree to it on behalf of the government." People's awareness is still relatively weak in this day and age, and they have not thought about what international students will learn here and what they will learn when they return.

Although the Qing Dynasty sent many students abroad, the number was still too small. After they came back, they changed many things in China. If there were more students abroad at that time, China might not be like this now.

"I think you should communicate with your country first. According to the preliminary plan, I will send a study team of about 2000 people."

The number of 2000 people really scared Colonel Hans. He thought there would be only a few hundred people, but he didn't expect so many to come in. This was indeed not something he could decide. These 2000 people entering his country would, apart from any other issues, be a big problem in terms of security.

These were sent by their allies to study. They must be good seedlings on their side, the kind of young people with great potential. If something unexpected happens in Germany, it will be difficult for them to explain, and it may affect bilateral cooperation. There are quite a few Japanese in Germany now. If the two countries fight in their own country, it will also be a troublesome matter.

"Dear Mr. Mao, please forgive me for being frank, but this number is too large. I cannot make the decision. I need to communicate with the domestic government. Also, can you give me detailed information on what these 2000 people need to learn? It is impossible to put them all in one place."

Germans are so serious about doing things that no matter what you say, they need something in writing so that it is easier to explain when you go back, and they can also explain it to you if any disputes arise in the future.

The talks between the two sides came to an end, and everyone went back to prepare some things. Mao Yuanshan was preparing what the 2000 people going to Germany would learn. Of course, the Germans would not let you know some very core things. What they need to learn are relatively basic things. These things are no secret worldwide, and I believe the Germans will not stop them.

Colonel Hans felt that there would be no problem with these 20 destroyers, so he hurried back to ask his superiors.

Although Colonel Hans was not very good at doing business, his brain was fine. He knew very well that if the German government rejected the training plan for these 2000 people, there would be no hope for the 20 destroyers.

After receiving the telegram, the Germans immediately began to calculate that there were about 3000 Japanese armed personnel of various types in Germany. These people also came here to study, and some came to communicate with the German army.

The Germans are now on two boats, so they are in a dilemma at this time. Which side should they help? Although the Japanese are very hateful and often take advantage of them, they are a ready-made ally after all.

In the end, the German General Staff did not dare to make this decision and reported the plan directly to the High Command to see what Hitler thought.

The commanders-in-chief of the German Air Force, Navy, and Army all attended the meeting, and they all chose the Chahar local government and abandoned the Japanese.

The Japanese Army and the German Army took two different paths. The German Army took the path of mechanization, or more precisely, used equipment to defeat the enemy, while the Japanese Army followed the spirit of Bushido, relying on one's own bravery to defeat the enemy. These were basically two carriages on two different roads, and there was no way they could communicate with each other.

German officers never asked their soldiers to sacrifice their lives. If they failed, they could raise their hands and surrender. However, the Japanese regarded surrender as a disgrace.

The German Navy wanted to learn from the Japanese Navy, but the Japanese Navy was very petty. Not only did they keep their core secrets strictly hidden, they were also unwilling to reveal even some ordinary things. In their view, the German Navy was a failed navy that had nothing else except submarines. There was no need to communicate with them. If they communicated with the German Navy, it would be a waste of their time. Therefore, there was no friendship between the German Navy and the Japanese Navy at all.

As for the German Air Force, there is even less to say. The aircraft of the German Air Force are the same as those used by Chahar.

Moreover, according to the drawings provided by Chahar, they made some modifications to the aircraft, and their performance was much improved compared to before. As for the Japanese aircraft, the Germans really did not take them seriously. In the eyes of the Germans, the Japanese aircraft were like children's toys.

In the end, the German High Command understood what to do, which was to completely abandon the Japanese and form an alliance with the Chahar local government, not only because of the 20 destroyers, but also because the Chahar local government had greater potential than the entire Japan.

Although we are no longer friends with the Japanese, we still need to maintain the superficial relationship. There is no need to expel these Japanese in Germany. Just let them stay here.
