On the morning of October 13, Chen Dao, accompanied by Arnault, visited the Škoda Arsenal, and noon was naturally a sumptuous luncheon. After the luncheon, drunken Chen Dao and Lieutenant Bach were put into a car and set off for Germany.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Dao had just walked into Karin Manor, and the old butler greeted him and said happily: "Earl and Lady Falk are here, and they are now chatting with the marshal." ”

Chen Dao's eyes quickly turned around in his sockets a few times, and then he remembered who the Earl of Falk and his wife were, and it turned out that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law came to the door.

Heinz von Rosen had three siblings, Karin was the second, Heinz was the third, and they also had an eldest sister, Gilly von Rosen, who was married to the Swedish socialite, Count Eric von Faulk, and it was in this Count Faulk that Goering fell in love with Karin at first sight.

Thinking of the identity of the Earl and Count Falk, Chen Dao immediately knew what attitude to treat them.

Chen Dao threw his suitcase and coat to the old butler, strode into the living room, and saw a strange woman and Amy playing with Ada, and Goering talking to a handsome old man in a neat suit.

"Dear Gilly, you've finally come to see me in Berlin." Chen Dao threw himself at Jili with his arms outstretched.

Jili was also very excited, put down Ida in her hand and threw herself into Chen Dao's arms and cried. "Heinz, I heard that you were seriously injured, I am worried about death, you don't want to fight anymore, come back to Sweden with me."

Chen Dao looked at Goering and Count Fokk, who were smiling and surrounding, and bowed his head to Gilly and said, "The duty of a soldier is to win the war, and after the war is won, I will go to Sweden to see you." ”

Let go of the tearful Gilly, Chen Dao and his eldest brother-in-law, Earl Falck, warmly embraced, everyone sat down to chat again, and after chatting for a while about the anecdotes of the world, Goering proposed that the three men go to his upstairs study to smoke cigars, and Chen Dao knew that Goering had something to say, so they went upstairs together.

In Goering's study, the three of them talked about business while spitting clouds.

After Count Falk explained, Chen Dao understood the meaning of Count Falk, who was entrusted by the Swedish industry.

Sweden's industrial giants have confirmed that the war between Germany and Britain and France will continue, and that it will be protracted. Germany must have needed a large number of industrial products and industrial raw materials, such as munitions, iron ore, etc., so they entrusted Count Falk as a representative to negotiate with Goering, who was in charge of German industrial development, in an attempt to increase Sweden's market share in German industrial procurement.

"In two days I will arrange for Eric to meet with representatives of German industry, Heinz, you can see first, are there any Swedish weapons that we can use?"

Chen Dao felt very embarrassed when he heard this, and said in his heart that Germany is a big industrial country with a complete military industry, and it is also a strong country, as small as a bullet, as large as a battleship and an aircraft carrier, all of which can be self-sufficient, where will Sweden's arms be needed? Chen Dao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of the weapons he needed to buy in Sweden.

It's just that relatives are relatives after all, the eldest brother-in-law and his wife came from afar, they have to give some face, and they can't refuse directly, Chen Dao asked in a hurry: "Is there a 75 mm artillery, cannon or anti-aircraft gun, more than 45 times the diameter." ”

Chen Dao thought of the tank guns of the No. 4 tank and the No. 4 assault gun, if there were ready-made guns in Sweden that could be used for modification, it would save a lot of research and development time, and it would also give Count Fokker face, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Count Falk thought for a moment and then said something that made Chen Dao ecstatic.

"I remember that the Bofors Arsenal once sold a batch of 75-mm anti-aircraft guns to China, the model number was M1929, although I don't know what the multiplier diameter was? But I'm sure it's above 45 times, and if you need it, I'll send a telegram back to Sweden tomorrow and ask them to send in the specific weapon parameters. ”

"Yes," Chen Dao didn't expect to find the artillery he urgently needed in a small Sweden, and hurriedly nodded and said: "I urgently need this kind of artillery now, and I must ask them to send the weapon parameters tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Chen Dao really had the intention of purchasing, Count Falk couldn't help but increase his interest a few points, and asked, "What other weapons do you need?"

Chen Dao frowned and thought hard, and suddenly remembered the business that Albert had talked about with him, and thought that maybe he could discuss it with this eldest brother-in-law, but before discussing, he needed to talk to his second brother-in-law Goering first.

"If that cannon really meets my requirements, this business alone will be enough to make you a lot of money." Chen Dao smiled and said, "I don't have any other needs for the time being, if there are other weapon needs, I will contact you again." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and Goering promised to introduce Count Falk to the representatives of German industry the day after tomorrow, and the three of them left the study・・・・・・

The next day, Chen Dao took Goering's car to the Air Force Headquarters, and when he passed by the station of the Herman Goering Regiment, Chen Dao did not get out of the car, but went to Goering's office.

"I met Albert in the Czech Republic the day before yesterday." Chen Dao sat across from Goering's desk, consciously opened Goering's cigar box and took out two cigars, lit one himself, and stuffed the other into his left breast pocket.

Goering turned to the side and pretended not to see, "What did he say to you?"

"He said he had a big business to do and asked me if I would like to take a stake, and I wanted to hear your advice." Chen Dao said.

When Goering heard that there was business to be done, he turned to look at Chen Dao, waiting for Chen Dao's next step.

"After we annexed the Czech Republic, the troops of the 38 integrated divisions of the Czech army were disarmed by us, plus the inventory, we captured at least 60 divisions of equipment, of which less than half were requisitioned by us, a large part of them were piled up in the warehouse, and there were also a lot of them in the warehouse of the Skoda factory, Albert said that he could not watch these weapons rust in the warehouse, and asked me if I could find a way to dispose of them."

"Those weapons were requisitioned by the army, and I can't interfere." Goering said.

"The army is only temporarily using them to replenish the number, and when our weapons production comes up, the army will definitely eliminate those equipment, after all, the Czech equipment and the army's standard equipment parts are not common, and it is very troublesome to maintain. And not just those Czech equipment, we recently captured enough Polish weapons to arm more than a million people. Also, after the end of the French campaign in the future, I estimate that the number of French weapons we have captured will also be able to arm two million people, but unfortunately, these equipment are not common to our standard equipment, and at most only a small part can be used, and it will also require a large number of manpower and warehouses to preserve them, don't you think it's a pity? I think Albert was right when he said that we should get rid of them and exchange them for some foreign currency or supplies that we desperately need. ”

"Czech Republic, Poland, France." Goering turned sideways again, his left index finger tapping on the desk.

After knocking rhythmically for a few minutes, Goering suddenly turned around to face Chen Dao, leaned forward, and said to Chen Dao with a serious face: "Let's not talk about France, the equipment of the Czech Republic has been requisitioned by the army, and I won't say it." Let's just say that Poland, as you said, is enough to arm millions of people with weapons and equipment, and to have them rust in warehouses is a great waste of national resources and a very irresponsible act in the interests of Germany, and I think we should stop it. ”

"It's shameful to waste, it's glorious to thrift, not to mention that Germany itself is not rich, and we should save every penny of resources." Chen Dao was also infected by Goering's emotion of "worrying about the country and the people", and said seriously.

"I'm glad your mind has reached this height." Goering had a teachable expression.

"There are just two questions, one is how to ship it out? Germany was already blockaded by the British Royal Navy, and our merchant ships could not sail. Goering said with his hands outstretched.

"Another question, is there any region or country in the world that needs the equipment of millions of people right now?"

"The problem of transportation is easy to deal with, we all know, Earl Faulk is a very warm-hearted man, what do you say?" Chen Dao snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, solving the first problem that Goering said.

"As for the second question, it is even simpler, China and Japan are at war in the Far East, China is the most populous agricultural country in the world, and their weapons production simply cannot meet the needs of the war with Japan, and according to my judgment, the war between China and Japan will last at least five years, and the weapons China needs are absolutely astronomical."

"China? No, no. Goering shook his head repeatedly, "The Führer does not want us to trade with China anymore, especially the arms trade, we need Japan to contain the Russians for us in the Far East, and not to provoke the Japanese." ”

"You're wrong, it's not Germany that trades with China, it's that we trade with Sweden, and then Sweden trades with China. Germany and China have absolutely no intersection, what can the Japanese say? ”

"Heinz, you have a point." Goering slowly leaned back into his chair with a cigar in his mouth, then said with a smile, "I'll think about it again." ”

Chen Dao didn't persuade again, he knew that Goering was already moved・・・・・
