"I called you back because I was going to go back to China in the near future, and Angela sent a telegram that the Nationalist Government was eager to have a meeting with us, and Angela couldn't make up her mind, so I had to go back once." Vivien, who was in Austria, was urgently recalled to Bremerhaven by Zhuo Fei for no other reason, just because Zhuo Fei was going to return to China in the near future, and Zhuo Fei hoped that Vivien could come to Bremerhaven.

"Boss, but if this happens, it will inevitably affect the plan of Ku Ding." Vivian didn't ask why Zhuo Fei was in a hurry to return to China, but took out a document and handed it to Zhuo Fei. "Damn the Poles not only got planes and artillery from the Czechs, they also had a batch of light tanks that originally belonged to the Czech Wehrmacht, and if it weren't for them to get these tanks, maybe the deal with them would have been completed long ago."

The Germans only wanted Czech military factories and large tracts of land, while the Poles took advantage of the chaos to seize a lot of weapons and equipment that originally belonged to the Czech Defense Forces. The Poles tried to be a wall grass that no one could offend like the Netherlands, and the weapons and equipment seized from the Czech Republic have been regarded by many Poles as dividends that belong to them, and Zhuo Fei's original plan was to let Vivian come forward to buy those weapons and equipment from the Poles, and then split them up and send them to China.

After flipping through the information that Vivian handed him, Zhuo Fei immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, those Czech light tanks are not good goods with good performance." I have already gone to Berlin to meet with the Führer, and the Germans will be happy to sell us some of their light tanks, and they will be fully equipped with them. It's just that we need to find a way to get these light tanks to Bremerhaven ourselves, and then change the livery and load them on ships to send them to China. ”

Zhuo Fei's words made Vivian happy, those disgusting Poles had already disgusted Vivian to the extreme, and a large amount of money was sent, but one by one they only went in and out, and the appearance of those Poles was too ugly. "It wasn't a difficult task, I found some tankmen in Poland who were originally part of the Czech army, and brought them to Germany to drive these tanks. Then a paint shop was built here in Bremerhaven, where the Jews could paint the tanks, so that the tanks could be put on board. ”

Vivien's paint shop is actually very rudimentary, and in the strict sense of the word, she can't call it a factory at all. There were a large number of Jews in the camp, and only a few hundred people a day had to be drawn to find an open area large enough to add some paint and brushes. No matter how many tanks were sent to Bremerhaven, Vivien was able to give these German tanks a makeover in a day, just by asking the Jews to help paint the tanks a few more times.

Zhuo Fei was made to laugh and cry by Vivian's advice, but when he thought about it, this was indeed the case. The Germans didn't want to be known that these tanks originally belonged to the German Wehrmacht, and Zhuo Fei used paint to completely change the original livery of the tank, in a sense, it had the effect of confusing the eyes, but Zhuo Fei didn't know if these tanks showed up in China, and the Japanese army fighting against them would be suspicious from the appearance of the tanks.

"Modification," Vivian then gave another suggestion in response to Zhuo Fei's concerns, "I have recruited a large number of technicians and skilled workers from the original Czech military factories in Poland, if they want to build tanks, it is a bit unrealistic, but if they just change the shape of the tank, I think they will be able to do it, and they will do it very well." Vivian's suggestion opened Zhuo Fei's mind, yes, the shape of the German tank can be properly modified, anyway, there is no need for these tanks to participate in any military parade, no matter what the shape of the tank is, as long as it can win the Japanese army.

Zhuo Fei then waved a big pen, not only promised Vivian that the Czech military technicians and workers would be accepted, but also gave Vivian $300,000, which would be used to pay the Czechs as their travel expenses to leave Poland and come to Bremerhaven. "I can only give you half a month, and after half a month, I will go to China with the ship, and I hope to leave with the first batch of modified tanks." The time given by Zhuo Fei was very tight, and Vivian did not dare to delay too much, so she took a plane back to Austria on the same day.

The Germans did not know when the railway from Austria to Munich would become so busy, and a large number of Czechs who crossed the border into Austria took the train to Munich with their families. Before the Germans could react to what was going on, the Czechs with their families drove north along the road to Bremerhaven, where the temporary shelters that had been set up to evacuate Jews were once again busy, with trucks, carriages, bicycles, and all sorts of vehicles appearing on the road in the direction of Bremerhaven.

The SS and Gestapo along the road also became busy, but the Czechs who went north to Bremerhaven were armed with Austrian SS certificates showing that the Czechs who went north to Bremerhaven had paid the SS $20 per person. Vivien recruited more than 4,000 skilled military technicians and workers from Poland, and if her families were included, Vivien had paid almost $200,000 in tolls to the Austrian SS troops.

Under the watchful eye of SS troops and the Gestapo along the route, the uprooted Czechs arrived at Bremerhaven with the Jews heading north, while about 100 of them were quietly sent to a Wehrmacht barracks along the route. "Captain Hagen, here are 20 No. 2 tanks, and another 15 47-mm self-propelled tank guns converted from No. 1 tanks, I have been ordered to hand them over to you, and now I ask you to sign for them." The SS officer with a serious face opened a document and asked Hagen, who had led the team to the barracks, to sign it.

Hagen was recruited by Vivien when she arrived in Austria, and this captain who had served in the German army was now only a captain of Vivian's bodyguard, commanding 12 German guards. Looking through the documents handed by the SS officers, Hagen motioned to the Czech tankmen who had been brought to the barracks to inspect the tanks lined up in the open field, and the Germans got a batch of high-performance LT-38 tanks from the Czechs along with the production line, which led Hitler to agree to sell a batch of light tanks that had been reduced to German trainer vehicles to Zhuo Fei. ，

The No. 1 tank has long been reduced to a training vehicle by the German army, although the No. 2 tank is still in service with the German armored forces, but Zhuo Fei's birth has accelerated the pace of the German army's equipment with Leopard tanks, compared with the Leopard tank, the No. 2 tank with low firepower is simply scum, and Germany has stopped the in-depth research and development of the No. 3 tank. The Czech tank crews who had inspected the tanks soon returned to report to Hagen, saying that the light tanks were in good condition and could be left at any time.

All the tanks that Hitler agreed to sell to Zhuo Fei have been disarmed, of course, Zhuo Fei doesn't care about these, Vivian said that those Czech military technicians can modify light tanks, Zhuo Fei already has a plan in his heart for these German light tanks that have been disarmed. The Czech military technicians who were in charge of and involved in the tank modification were the first to arrive in Bremerhaven, and Vivien spent a lot of money to hire a convoy from the Austrian SS to transport the Czech technicians.

The tanks are still on the way to Bremerhaven, Zhuo Fei has already discussed with those Czech technicians how to modify these tanks, the firepower of the Japanese tanks on the domestic battlefield is not as fierce as those tanks in the European battlefield, so Zhuo Fei is not ready to add any large-caliber artillery to these light tanks. "My opinion is only three points, first, to ensure the speed of the modified tank. Second, it is necessary to ensure the defense of the modified tank, and third, I want you to leave a place for the installation of large-caliber heavy machine guns when refitting the tank. ”

Zhuo Fei's three opinions are not out of line, the armor of light tanks is not strong, but light tanks are known for their dexterity and speed. Zhuo Fei asked to increase the defense of light tanks at the same time, but agreed to discard some of the redundant devices and accessories on the tank, in fact, Zhuo Fei was not very optimistic about the light tanks sold to him by Hitler, he just wanted to give these Czech technicians a chance to practice, maybe there will be more opportunities to modify tanks in the future.

After a brief assignment to the Czech technicians, Zhuo Fei immediately sent a telegram to Andy in the United States, saying that he was about to return to China, and it was time to send the things he asked Andy to prepare in advance to Bremerhaven. What Zhuo Fei asked Andy to prepare was a batch of Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns and a supporting ammunition production line, and the U.S. government did not allow the export of such large-caliber heavy machine guns, but this ban was nothing to Zhuo Fei, who had weapons exchange skills.

When he first proved that his homemade AK rifle could use the bullets he had redeemed in the United States, Zhuo Fei secretly teamed up with Andy to set up a small arms factory, and exchanged a Browning large-caliber heavy machine gun from the system as a sample and handed it to Andy. Over the past few months, Andy's black factory has produced more than 200 replica Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns and 4,000 AK assault rifles, and Zhuo Fei plans to bring them all back to China this time.

Vivien's planes, tanks, and artillery from the Poles, plus the heavy firepower weapons that Hitler sold him, coupled with the heavy machine guns and assault rifles that Andy was about to deliver, as long as there were enough troops, Zhuo Fei would immediately be able to build his own mixed army. As soon as he thought of this, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but want to return to China immediately, he couldn't wait to meet the Japanese army right away.
