Umegawa Kuko's body was quickly dragged away by two Gestapo, and the pool of blood on the ground was quickly wiped dry. Some red blood stains that are inconvenient to remove in a short period of time should be left there for the time being and dealt with later.

Looking at Hiroshi Oshima, who was still full of worries, Reinhardt had no choice but to flicker: "Don't worry about this matter, since those big people have made a decision, people of our level can only implement and watch." ”

Big shot?! Hiroshi Oshima's brain was a little unable to receive this sudden message.

Reinhardt, who was determined to strike while the iron was hot, then flickered: "Major General Umegawa is a radical soldier, and he has offended too many people. Among them are many of your country's top leaders with whom we have agreements. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you the names of the executives here. ”

The truth seems to be gradually emerging!

Shocked Hiroshi Oshima swallowed and choked out a sentence "Could it be ...... Your killing of Major General Umegawa is the meaning of our domestic high-level officials. ”

"Otherwise, why do you think we want to kill Major General Umegawa who we met for the first time." With a mysterious smile, Reinhardt pretended to lower his voice and said, "Mr. Oshima Hiroshi should be no stranger to the faction of the Northern Advancement Faction. ”

"Northward Progression"! Hiroshi Oshima, who heard the name, quickly had a preliminary guess. Although he has been a diplomat in Europe for a long time, Hiroshi Oshima still has some understanding of domestic contradictions. China has always been divided into two factions that advocate northward expansion and southward expansion, that is, the "northward expansion faction" and the "southward expansion faction".

The northward faction regarded the Soviet Union as an imaginary enemy and advocated attacking Siberia northward to consolidate its hegemony in Asia. The southward faction, with Britain and the United States as imaginary enemies, advocated attacking the Nanyang Islands to the south.

In fact, the idea of the Hokkaido faction is extremely dangerous, and Umegawa Kuko, as a traverser, naturally does not support this strategy. Reinhardt could easily deduce this. Therefore, it is logical to make a fuss with this.

And in Hiroshi Oshima's view, this is a signal, a signal for the reshuffling of domestic forces! And Major General Umegawa is obviously on the wrong side.

It is not surprising that the Northbound faction, which has always been relatively strong, did such a thing in order to achieve their goals. In this age of human life, a radical and fanatical faction that wants to take power needs not rational communication, but ruthless purges!

It's just that Hiroshi Oshima is not sure, has the domestic situation really reached this point?

As a matter of fact, the two factions in Japan have always been very bitterly contentious over the question of which strategy to adopt and what direction to focus on Japan's military strength.

However, Reinhardt knew that in 1936, Japan's top decision-makers finally decided to adopt a "north-south" strategy.

According to this plan, the Japanese army armament was aimed at implementing the northward expansion strategy and preparing to fight the Soviet Union; The Japanese Navy's armament was aimed at carrying out the strategy of southward expansion and preparing for war with the United States.

For such a "perfect" compromise plan, Reinhardt admired the nerves of the Japanese top brass from the bottom of his heart.

Punch the USSR and kick the Anglo-Americans. What courage that is!

Reinhardt was too lazy to care about Japan's national strategy. Anyway, the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States are Germany's future opponents, and Japan will provoke them together if they like to provoke them.

However, now Reinhardt has decided to add fuel to Japan's provocation.

And Hiroshi Oshima, who was thinking about it at the moment, also figured out all his doubts. What the Germans did was not out of nowhere, but at the behest of some of the top leaders of the northward faction at home.

Since the Germans will fulfill the secret agreement with the domestic top brass to get rid of Umegawa Kuko. That means that the Germans have reached some kind of consensus with their country.

This is a positive sign for Hiroshi Oshima. The next negotiations must have a certain foundation, so his task will not be too difficult.

Without paying any more attention to the death of Umegawa Kuko, Hiroshi Oshima said to Reinhardt in a relaxed mood: "Since your country has already had an agreement with our high-level officials, I think our next exchanges will be quite smooth. ”

Seeing that Hiroshi Oshima had already agreed with his fool, Reinhardt also smiled lightly: "That's right, there has been contact and communication between our upper echelons for a long time. The tone of this negotiation is friendly, and we will do our best to meet the demands of our Japanese friends. The above has already explained to me, and asked me to cooperate with my Japanese friends in negotiations as much as possible. ”

Steve and Rose, who were sitting on the side, admired Reinhardt's serious nonsense. For their direct leader, there is an urge to bow down.

Führer Reinhardt is so capable of breaking! Full of nonsense, it comes as soon as you open your mouth, it's just serious nonsense.

In German diplomacy today, nothing goes through their hands. Naturally, Sickert, a pure military man, would not interfere, and even President Gustav was a member of the Socialist Workers' Party.

What else is there to explain to him, damn, can the head of the Socialist Workers' Party still have above?

Hiroshi Oshima, who doesn't know the inside story, is simply suddenly enlightened at this moment. Now, all the doubts have been explained.

"Now, I won't go around the bend with Mr. Hiroshi Oshima. We will completely stop the arms trade in the Far East. In addition, we will not expand the scale of some non-arms transactions. At the same time, Germany will also provide the best technical equipment for Japanese friends, help your country's northward expansionists, and strengthen the capital to achieve strategic goals in the future." Reinhardt looked like a tall saint at the moment.

I feel that the benefits I have obtained through this time are enough to be greatly praised by the country. Hiroshi Oshima asked with some excitement, "I don't know what technical equipment your country will provide to us?" What will we have to give? ”

Reinhardt, who had a pleasant face, smiled heartily and said, "Let me answer you a question first." First of all, taking into account the lack of large-caliber anti-tank guns in your country, we have decided to secretly sell you one of the most practical individual anti-tank weapons. ”

"Individual anti-tank weapons?!" Hiroshi Oshima's eyes widened, there is such a thing, it is a treasure.

Reinhardt walked up to Hiroshi Oshima and said, "This individual anti-tank weapon is called the Iron Fist Bazooka, which is simple to operate and has significant effects. Once your country is equipped with a large number of these weapons, the Soviet armored forces will not be able to threaten you. By the way, this secret weapon, which has not yet begun to be installed in our country, belongs to the first-class secret equipment. ”

Reinhardt really didn't lie to Hiroshi Oshima. The Iron Fist bazooka he sold to Japan was one of the latest weapons secretly developed by the Rhein Company based on the drawings provided by Reinhardt. It has a caliber of 44mm and is equipped with 2.3 kg of ammunition, which adopts a dome-type ammunition cover with higher armor-piercing ability. It can be said that at close range, it was completely capable of destroying Soviet tanks.

Looking at Hiroshi Oshima, who was overjoyed, Reinhardt secretly laughed in his heart. This weapon is of little use in China, and it will definitely be used by the Japanese military in the future. It would be great to be able to contain the Soviet Union well for Germany.

As for the drawback that ordinary Japanese soldiers would need to risk great danger to get close to Soviet tanks in order to use this weapon, Reinhardt selectively did not give an overview to Hiroshi Oshima. Since the Japanese military department likes to seek death, let their soldiers also experience this exciting feeling together.

Reinhardt's next detailed introduction made Hiroshi Oshima overjoyed. Such a convenient and practical individual anti-tank is simply tailor-made for Japan. He can't even wait to show his credit in China.

Patting Hiroshi Oshima on the shoulder, Reinhardt said enthusiastically, "Don't just focus on this kind of weapon. For the southward faction, we also have technology to provide as compensation. ”

And the technology to compensate the southerners?! Hiroshi Oshima couldn't believe it. Today's surprises seem to be too many, and the death of Major General Umegawa seems to be quite meaningful. Hiroshi Oshima is almost about to applaud the death of Kuko Umegawa, a life in exchange for so many benefits, it is completely worth it!

The compensation technology in Reinhardt's mouth is the submarine technology that Germany secretly researched in the Netherlands. To this end, Germany also sent an additional 100 experts and technicians to assist Japan in setting up a submarine production line.

After all, Reinhardt's heart was quite supportive of Japan's courageous strategy of "advancing north and south." The harder Japan struck, the less pressure Britain and the United States put on Germany later.
