Chapter 129: The British Foreign Secretary Arrives
Can the USSR agree? Even Cirek didn't know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the surface, the Soviet Union took a big advantage, you know, building an aircraft carrier is almost a plan to exhaust the national strength of the Soviet Union, just look at the battleships made by the Soviet Union.
And now? The USSR just had to ship the minerals out! The USSR has a large number of minerals, aluminum, tungsten, manganese, etc., and there are also a lot of rare elements! To build an aircraft carrier, the amount of minerals needed is huge, it must be transported by rail, and it must be transformed in the territory of the Soviet Union!
Moreover, there is no other country besides Germany that is willing to do this! Only export minerals, can you exchange them for aircraft carriers? Are you kidding! Ask the United Kingdom, France, the United States, will they not?
Even Italy does not have this ability, only Germany!
It can be said that if the Soviets wanted to get an aircraft carrier, they had to rely on Germany, and there was no other branch!
If the USSR did not want to give anything, only by exporting ore, it wanted aircraft carriers? Are you kidding!
The USSR had to change the railway, not the railway, this is not to be discussed!
Let the Soviets worry and see if they want national defense, or railways!
In fact, this project, whether it is achieved or not, will not do any harm to Germany, and if it is achieved, Germany will not deliver the aircraft carrier to the USSR! Joke! The warships built in the past were almost the same for the Soviet Union, and the aircraft carriers, which were of the strategic level, would have to be constantly delayed in the future, and finally left in the German navy!
And if it is not negotiated, then Germany has nothing to lose, anyway, the shipyards are now too busy.
Tukhachevsky frowned and did not speak, he, of course, knew, unifying the railway, what did it mean! This is one of the conditions put forward by the Germans, and if this condition is not agreed, then the rest is not to be discussed!
Can the USSR agree? Of course not! So, Tukhachevsky said cautiously: "We are afraid that we do not have the extra funds to renovate the railway, and if this railway is renovated, then the trains on our other railway network will not be able to run on this line, and it will be inconvenient for us." ”
"It's easy." "In that case, wouldn't it be convenient for us to build a special line for transporting ore from the Ural Mountains to the border and connect it with Europe?" Specialized in transporting ores. ”
Build a special line!
In later generations, in order to transport Huaxia's coal, Huaxia specially built a Datong to Qinhuangdao Daqin Railway, with only one task, that is, to transport coal!
A steady stream of coal from Datong was transported out and then loaded onto ships, some to thermal power plants in the south, and some to the island nation.
Then, the island nation directly unloaded the coal into the sea, rich, capricious.
And now, isn't the Soviet Union disgusted with this? Simply, build a special line!
Now Germany needs to make strategic reserves, and the more ore, the better! If it can reserve enough for more than ten years of war, then Germany will not have to worry about resources!
"As for the investment in this line, it should be up to you, but you can also consider using the ore to convert it and leave it to us to solve." Ciric said.
In this era, it is not difficult to build railways, but in later generations, what is the bulk of building railways? It's demolition compensation! also gave birth to such a group as the second generation.
And in this era, there is not so much nonsense, especially in the USSR, when it is said that land will be expropriated, then it will be expropriated immediately!
Therefore, there is only money left to build a railway, and if the USSR does not have it, it will still be offset with ore!
Tukhachevsky did not speak, because, he no longer needs to say anything! No reason will be a reason!
Just as he was about to get cold, Graf walked in and said a few words to Ciric's ear, so Ciric could only say to the Soviet visitors with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, something happened in Berlin, I need to go back, and the rest of the trip will be accompanied by our other personnel." ”
With that, Ciric stood up and walked out, leaving the Soviets with a helpless look on their faces.
The conditions of the Germans, yes or no?
Ciric is not fighting psychological warfare, for Lao Maozi, if he really fights psychological warfare, there is only one way, drink!
Lao Maozi, just admit to drinking, if in the wine field, drink down this group of guys, let alone change the railway, let them paint the Kremlin with pink cute paint, and dress Stalin as a white-bearded Santa Claus, they can also agree!
Ciric really prepared a one, specially found a few guys who could drink, and planned to accompany these people from the Soviet Union, after all, when Ciric went to the Soviet Union, he was warmly welcomed, and now, Ciric should also be enthusiastic.
But now, Ciric can't help but leave, because there really is something going on in Berlin.
British Foreign Secretary, Samuel Hall, with a whole bunch of high-ranking British naval officers, has come to Berlin!
When he heard the name, Ciric knew that the time had finally come, and this person was the best object! Historically, what has been his evaluation? Famous appeasers in the Chamberlain cabinet!
This guy's main contribution was that when he was the Minister of Indian Affairs, he took on the important task of formulating and maintaining the Indian Constitution in the parliamentary debates, and made the government pass the Indian Act, so he became famous.
And now, having just taken over this position, he has come to Germany.
Historically, he did not stay long, and at the end of this year, after the outbreak of the Ethiopian War of Resistance against Italy, he and French Prime Minister Pierre Reival conspired to cede two-thirds of Ethiopia's territory in exchange for the "Hall Reival Agreement" in exchange for Italian cooperation, and resigned due to public condemnation.
However, he did not stay long and continued to serve as Minister of the Navy, Secretary of the Interior, Minister of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of the Air Force, full supporter of appeasement and the Munich Agreement, and a core member of the Neville-Chamberlain Cabinet.
This guy is much more important than the current Tukhachevsky! So, Ciric had to hurry back, a big thing, about to happen!
In later generations, Chamberlain's appeasement policy can be described as a policy that everyone shouts and beats, how can this guy be so spineless?
However, when we come to this era, we can know that the policy of appeasement has its own breeding ground!
The First World War was a tragic world war, even if it was a winner, it was a tragic victory, and in the First World War, a whole generation of British youth was lost! Therefore, many people who came down from the First World War did not want another war.
Peace is precious, and if a negotiated solution can be resolved, do not resort to war, this is their way of thinking.
Ciric likes this idea very much!
