The progress of the exploration team was unfavorable, and the news came back to Berlin, and Zhuo Fei and others in the manor were all suffering, but Andy's arrival made Zhuo Fei and the others' tense hearts a little lighter. Andy, as a shareholder of Blackwater Oil, naturally knew that Blackwater Oil was helping the German government to find oil, seeing Zhuo Fei's face at the moment, Andy smiled indifferently, "It's a big deal, we all go back to the United States, we own seventy percent of the shares of penicillin in the United States, even if we don't do anything, we can all become rich." ”

Andy's unique persuasion made Zhuo Fei's mood slightly better, but the anxiety in his heart did not dissipate at all, and a series of exploration detachments sent back telegrams, claiming that their exploration activities had failed. As time passed, the tension in the manor became more and more intense, probably at the behest of Hitler, and the SS who nominally guarded the manor took away all the training bullets from Zhuo Fei under the pretext of security reasons.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't have bullets, do regular physical training." More than 100 veterans who were brought to Germany by Vivian and Angela gathered together to discuss privately, but they were scolded by Zhuo Fei. With the arrival of Angela, the number of trainers in the manor has exceeded 150, not to mention Hitler, even if it were Zhuo Fei himself, he would not agree to the appearance of such a lethal armed force in his own territory.

"Boss, we are running out of money, we have less than 200,000 marks left on our books, and if we want to invest more money in the Bavarian exploration team, this money may only last for a week." The American accountant hired by Zhuo Fei came to Zhuo Fei with a sad face. The 10 million marks paid by the Bain family became Zhuo Fei's funds to support oil exploration activities, but it was only half a month, and only 200,000 of the 10 million marks remained, and the American accountant swore to God more than once that if he could turn back time, he would never accept Zhuo Fei's employment.

"Mr. Roger, according to what we have agreed in advance, even if we only have one dollar left on our books, we must continue to increase the supply of funds for the exploration team." Zhuo Fei knew why his accountant would come to see him with such a face, but at this moment, he would never be able to back down. "Mr. Roger, I'll figure out the money matter, you just need to control the flow of our funds."

After sending away the bitter-faced accountant, Zhuo Fei secretly wondered where else he could get the money, he was now under house arrest in this manor, and he was not very clear about the news from the outside world. The design drawings of the AK assault rifle had already been handed over to Gustav, and he and Gustav had said that they would cooperate in production, but so far, he had no idea how many of those rifles were produced in the Krupp family's arsenal, and he didn't know whether Hitler agreed with the German army to replace the new rifle.

The rifles produced could not be sold, and the idea that he wanted to obtain funds through this could only be wishful thinking, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhuo Fei finally remembered that he still seemed to have stored this design drawing of the Iron Fist anti-tank grenade launcher in his baggage. Open the baggage, Zhuo Fei really saw the design drawings of the Iron Fist anti-tank grenade launcher in the space on his back, Zhuo Fei was originally going to sell this design drawing to the weaker side at a sky-high price after the outbreak of World War II, but now it seems that it can only be taken out in advance for emergency use.

Gustav, who got the news, came quickly, and Zhuo Fei just asked the SS in charge of the security of the manor to bring a message to Gustav, saying that he had a drawing of the anti-tank weapon set here, and Gustav, who was arguing with many military experts about the design drawings of the Leopard tank, rushed to the manor to meet Zhuo Fei in a hurry. "Young man, I'm here, hurry up and get the design drawings of the anti-tank weapons you said." Gustav, who was still wearing overalls, didn't even bother to drink the coffee that Angela brought, just beckoned Zhuo Fei to take out the design drawings.

"Give the money first, 5 million marks, no two prices, pay the money with one hand and hand over the picture with the other." Zhuo Fei rolled the design drawings into a roll and made his own request to Gustav. 5 million marks is not a small amount, and Gustav naturally cannot easily agree, although the Krupp family is not short of this money, but Gustav is not a fool.

"Young man, I haven't even seen the blueprint you said, how can I be sure it's worth 5 million marks?" Looking at the paper scroll pressed under the palm of Zhuo Fei's hand, Gustav's heart felt like a cat was scratching. After seeing the blueprints of the AK rifle and the Leopard tank, Gustav attached great importance to Zhuo Fei's ability to shoot weapons, but Gustav, who was the head of the Krupp family, would never agree to Zhuo Fei's request until he had seen this blueprint.

"Well, let me give you a brief introduction to this anti-tank weapon I designed." Knowing that Gustav wanted to bargain with himself, Zhuo Fei was not in a hurry, he just opened the design drawings and looked at them a few times, and then explained to Gustav the shooting principle of Iron Fist and some data. Gustav sat opposite Zhuo Fei, he couldn't see the content of the design drawing, and after listening to the data Zhuo Fei said, Gustav could roughly judge the structure and power of this anti-tank weapon.

"Mr. Gustav, the price of 5 million marks is definitely not my sky-high asking price. If I were to sell the blueprints to the British or the French, they would definitely pay me more than 5 million marks. Seeing that Gustav still looked indifferent, Zhuo Fei had no choice but to move the British and French out. Hearing Zhuo Fei say this, Gustav's brows furrowed, because Zhuo Fei was right, if Britain and France knew the news, they would definitely pay a higher price than Germany to obtain the blueprint of this anti-tank weapon.

"Zhuo, it's not good for you to be like this, I thought we had always been in a cooperative relationship. We have worked well together on the new rifle, so why can't we continue to work together? Although Zhuo Fei's oil exploration for Germany is a secret, Gustav is the ruler of the Krupp family and an ardent supporter of Hitler, and this kind of thing cannot be concealed from Gustav. Just a design drawing of an anti-tank weapon, Zhuo Fei offered a sky-high price of 5 million marks, and Gustav had already guessed that Zhuo Fei was in financial difficulties after a little thought, so he was ready to take the opportunity to lower the price.

"Mr. Gustav, if I am not mistaken, it seems that the new rifle has been mass-produced by your Krupp family, but I have not received a penny so far, is this what you call cooperation?" Zhuo Fei's rhetorical question made Gustav's old face slightly hot. In half a month, more than 20,000 new rifles have been produced in the Krupp family's arsenal, and Hitler's SS has issued an order for 10,000 new rifles.

"I said, 5 million marks, that's a fixed price. If you still want to make a counteroffer, Mr. Gustav, then I'd rather let this design rot in my hands, because the world is so big, I think there will be people interested in it. Zhuo Fei said as he rolled up the blueprints again, and handed them to Angela to put away. Seeing that Zhuo Fei had the intention of ending this meeting, Gustav, who was still pretending to be calm, couldn't sit still, with the AK rifle and the Leopard tank in front of him, Gustav did not doubt Zhuo Fei's design ability.

5 million marks, Gustav finally signed a transfer contract of 5 million marks with Zhuo Fei, and after writing a check for 2 million marks, Gustav finally saw the design drawings of the anti-tank weapon. "Zhuo, I have to praise God, you are God's reward to Germany." After carefully looking at the design drawings on the table, Gustav suppressed the shock in his heart and gave Zhuo Fei a thumbs up.

"Mr. Roger, this is a check for 2 million marks, and a contract with the Krupp family, take the check and the contract, go to Deutsche Bank, and we will immediately have an extra 5 million marks in our account." Unable to continue greeting Gustav, Zhuo Fei handed over the check and the contract to Roger. The latter, who had already waited a little restlessly, got the check and the contract, and immediately took Gustav's car to the Deutsche Bank in Berlin to transfer money.

"Zhuo, are you really sure you can find oil in Germany?" Gustav was a decent businessman, and he had no intention of leaving the estate until Zhuo Fei's accountant returned from the bank. The two were bored, so Gustav whispered to Zhuo Fei about oil exploration, and Zhuo Fei also knew that this matter could not be hidden from the Krupp family, so he told Gustav about the agreement between himself and Hitler, but the latter was not optimistic about Zhuo Fei's insistence.

The entire estate was under the surveillance of the SS, and the deal between Zhuo Fei and Gustav was soon reported to Hitler's ears. Zhuo Fei's account in Deutsche Bank is under the monitoring of the secret police, and the account movements in the past half a month have not escaped the control of the secret police, and he has long known that Zhuo Fei is running out of money, so Hitler waited to see Zhuo Fei's jokes, but he didn't expect Gustav to rush to send Zhuo Fei 5 million marks.

"Why are you looking at me like that? The Krupp family got the weapon blueprints, and we got 5 million marks, which is a happy deal, better than our Blackwater Oil going bankrupt. Sending Gustav away, Zhuo Fei didn't pay much attention to Angela and them gathered in the living room, just ordered Zhuo Yan to watch the stairs, and then he was alone in a room on the second floor and didn't know what he was doing.
