Chapter 33 Tear down the east wall and make up the west wall

"Vivien, how much money do we have at our disposal now, I mean all of them." Hurried back to Berlin, Zhuo Fei did not rush to meet with Gustav, but asked about all the funds of the umbrella company in Germany. Although many people thought that Germany would definitely succumb to the strong intervention of Britain and France, Zhuo Fei knew that war was really coming, and now was a good time to pick up foreign money from the German army, and funds had become a big problem for Zhuo Fei.

"So far, we have been able to mobilize no more than $2 million, and once Poland is occupied by the Germans, more Jews will be sent to Bremerhaven, and food, medicine, and supplies will still cost a lot of money." Although Vivian was not as impatient as Zhuo Fei, the speed of her speech was much faster. "There should still be some money from the UK, and Andy should be able to squeeze out some funds, and these are the two places where we can get funds."

Considering the weight of the funds that can be mobilized by the British side and Andy's side in the near future, Zhuo Fei is very disappointed, the comprehensive amount is only 5 million US dollars, which is too much if it is spent on weekdays, but at the moment, it is far from enough. "Find a way, find a way, I need at least more than 20 million dollars, below this figure, what I want, the Germans will not give us."

The Germans replaced more than 1,300 No. 3 tanks, and there were almost 600 improved No. 3 tanks that had been replaced from 37mm tank guns to 50mm tank guns. If the newly formed Wehrmacht units do not have their own long-range firepower, they will lose fire output in a frontal confrontation with the Japanese army.

Zhuo Fei thought that the Wehrmacht unit should be a fully mechanized force, but the current situation did not allow the Wehrmacht to complete the full mechanization, so Zhuo Fei had to do everything possible to scavenge equipment for the Wehrmacht troops. "Why don't we pay the Germans with counterfeit money?" Vivien was forced to be anxious, so she started the idea of the counterfeit banknotes in the printing house, let alone 20 million US dollars, even if it was more cash, the printing house could get it.

"No, we can't trade with the Germans with counterfeit money, once the Germans find out that we are using counterfeit money, our hard-working relationship will be in vain." Vivi's suggestion was not adopted by Zhuo Fei, and as soon as the printing house was able to print counterfeit **, Zhuo Fei strictly ordered that none of these counterfeit banknotes could flow into Germany. If counterfeit banknotes are detected in Britain and France, with the complex money laundering network designed by Zhuo Fei, even if this matter is exposed, it will definitely not be connected to the umbrella company.

But if counterfeit banknotes appear in Germany and are discovered by the Germans, I believe that the secret police will definitely track down the umbrella company, who made Zhuo Fei mention the counterfeit banknote strategic plan to Hitler in advance. "Boss, Mr. Gustav of the Krupp family is here." Just as Zhuo Fei and Vivien were thinking about how to solve the financial problem, Gustav, who had rarely gone out, suddenly came to visit.

"Zhuo, my friend, are you okay?" When the two met, Gustav didn't exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to the point. "Zhuo, you said last time you were going to order tank three, right? I have just received a telegram this morning from the Führer from the front, agreeing to sell you 300 to 500 tanks No. 3, as well as a batch of uniforms and equipment that originally belonged to the Polish army. The Führer said that if you have financial difficulties, the German government allows you to pay half of the money upfront. ”

"Mr. Gustav, thank you so much to the Führer, there is a problem with my funds. Before you came, I was discussing with Miss Vivien how to solve the problem of funding, and you are truly a blessing to me. Hitler allowed himself to pay half of the money to take things away, and this news was definitely great news for Zhuo Fei, so that he could ship all this equipment back to China before the British and French fleets blockaded the German seas.

"Mr. Gustav, I still want to make a deal with you, I wonder if you are interested in aviation incendiary bombs?" Zhuo Fei took out a bound document from the drawer and handed it to Gustav, and secretly motioned to Vivien. The latter received Zhuo Fei's signal, so he opened the safe in the house, first took out a roll of film from the safe, and then asked the guards waiting outside the door to bring in a small movie projector.

"Mr. Gustav, this film is a special footage filmed by our umbrella company when it was testing incendiary bombs, and after watching it, you should have a clear understanding of this aviation incendiary bomb." The film is just a silent film in black and white, but Gustav saw it very carefully, especially when the incendiary bomb the size of half an oil drum fell from the belly of the plane and exploded on the ground, Gustav subconsciously made an evasive action.

"This is our newly developed aviation incendiary bomb, the total weight of the bomb is 50 kilograms, the coverage area is more than 200 square meters, the temperature of the fire is more than 600 degrees Celsius, and it is theoretically able to boil even stones." Zhuo Fei patiently explained according to the data in the document that the incendiary bomb in the film was just an imitation, and if it was a powerful incendiary bomb that Zhuo Fei exchanged from the system, the power released would far exceed what Gustav saw now.

"I don't want money, iron-fisted anti-tank weapons, I want 10,000 with 50,000 ammunition. The empire has already provoked a war in Europe, and the Japanese will be even more crazy in their plans, and for the sake of my homeland, I must get this batch of iron-fisted anti-tank weapons. Asked by Gustav about the price of the incendiary bomb information, Zhuo Fei gave an answer that Gustav never expected. The information on the Iron Fist anti-tank weapon was originally sold by Zhuo Fei to the Krupp family, and although the Jewish technicians in Ruili had begun to imitate the Iron Fist, the imitation Iron Fist was far from Zhuo Fei's requirements.

Zhuo Fei opened his mouth widely, and asked for 10,000 iron fist anti-tank weapons with one mouth, which Gustav could not agree, and the Krupp family's arsenal could only produce no more than 3,000 iron fists per month. "Zhuo, I can't agree to this request of yours, the Imperial Army is also in dire need of iron-fisted anti-tank weapons. If it's just a few hundred, I can promise you, but the number you want is too large for me to agree. Gustav obviously saw that Zhuo Fei was in urgent need of funds, and he was also sure that Zhuo Fei would definitely bring those No. 3 tanks back to China, so he was waiting for Zhuo Fei to continue to come up with other good things to exchange with him.

Gustav's attitude made Zhuo Fei secretly scold the other party for being an old fox, but now is the time for him to beg the other party, so Zhuo Fei can only patiently bargain with Gustav. The two bargained like a see-saw, Zhuo Fei plummeted from the original 10,000 Iron Fist anti-tank weapons all the way to 5,000, but Gustav kept biting 1,000 and did not say anything, and finally Vivian made a round and put on an oil painting from Austria as an add-on, which made Gustav change his mind and agree to sell Zhuo Fei 3,000 Iron Fist anti-tank weapons.

"For those promised by the Führer, you only need to pay half of the money, and the 3,000 iron fists you want now are offset with incendiary technology, and I will give you 500 rockets with iron fists." Gustav didn't want to push Zhuo Fei too hard, and agreed to send Zhuo Fei a batch of rockets, although this was just a small favor, but it still made Zhuo Fei very grateful for a while. The first $2 million was paid to the Krupp family, and Zhuo Fei got 300 No. 3 tanks and a large number of spare parts from Gustav as he wished, and Gustav also gave Zhuo Fei a batch of ammunition for No. 3 tanks in accordance with Hitler's instructions.

"Contact the UK and the US immediately and tell them to prepare the money, prepare the boat, the more the better." Seeing off the satisfied Gustav, Vivien sent telegrams to Britain and the United States one after another, following Zhuo Fei's instructions. At the same time, two well-equipped escorts left the villa and went straight to the SS barracks on the outskirts of Berlin, where they went to receive the first batch of 120 No. 3 tanks, accompanied by Gustav's assistants.

In the next three days, Zhuo Fei seemed to have turned into a man with a full pocket, and the German Ministry of Defense also sent a team of SS soldiers to accompany him. "I want it, I want this, I want as much as I want." In a German Wehrmacht munitions warehouse, Zhuo Fei didn't look at the catalog of the warehouse at all, but directly led people into the warehouse. Whenever he caught his eye, the SS soldiers who accompanied him would be stamped with the Umbrella Company, and as soon as Zhuo Fei paid for it, the items with the Umbrella Company imprint would be loaded onto trucks and transported to Bremerhaven to be loaded and deported.

In three days, in front of Lin Biao and others, Zhuo Fei spent less than 3 million US dollars in one go, and in the end, Zhuo Fei, who was already empty, had to use the gold exchanged for Britain and France using counterfeit banknotes. At any time, gold is a hard currency, and the Germans seem to prefer Zhuo Fei to use gold for settlement compared to the dollar. Tanks, artillery, trucks, planes, in the direction of Bremerhaven, the road is full of arms transporters purchased by Zhuo Fei, and Zhuo Fei is likely to empty the Wehrmacht warehouse.

"Good things, all good things." Lin Biao and the others couldn't close their mouths with a smile, but Zhuo Fei secretly wept, this is really a time to go back to before the liberation, and the little money he had saved in Europe was all spent. If it weren't for the support of a printing press, the refugee camp in Bremerhaven alone would have bankrupted itself.
