Chapter 429: To Each His Needs
Isn't this knowingly asked?
If it weren't for you, Reinhardt, who tempted us with the Leopard tank blueprints, how could I have come to negotiate with you, the devil?
Hiroshi Oshima saw that Reinhardt was playing dumb on himself, and secretly cursed in his heart.
However, his thoughts naturally did not dare to show on his face.
After all, this is Berlin, and it is German territory.
Seriously, he was a little scared that Reinhardt would suddenly pull out a gun this time and tell him to leave a last word.
As a result, Hiroshi Oshima still kept a warm smile on Reinhardt.
However, after he finished laughing, he finally said what he meant: "Yuan Xiansheng is busy with work, and the contemptible people will get straight to the point. I'm here for three things. ”
Three things?!
Reinhardt raised his eyebrows quietly, undeniable.
"First, the contemptible people are the blueprints of the Leopard tank that they promised to the Japanese Empire for the first time in order to take the Yuan."
Hiroshi Oshima spoke quickly in fluent German.
"Second, the contemptible people also came to negotiate with the Führer on behalf of the Emperor of Japan about our army's attack on the French colonies in Southeast Asia."
"Finally, I, the Imperial Japan, would like to buy more excellent weapons and equipment from Germany, preferably secret weapons like the previous Iron Fist Rocket Team."
What a big appetite, Reinhardt secretly laughed in his heart. Presumably, this group of devils still doesn't understand how tragic their ultimate fate will be.
"It's easy to say, everything is easy to say, as long as it's a condition proposed by an ally, I will try my best to meet it." Reinhardt replied without thinking.
Well, though, his eyes were full of perfunctory.
It's another thing to promise to promise, but not to do it.
For a head of state like him, who regards keeping his word as a bad habit, no matter how much he agrees to it, he doesn't need to think about it.
"So the Führer promised me three conditions?"
Hiroshi Oshima doesn't seem to have figured out yet, and the head of state in front of him has always only taken advantage of it and not suffered losses.
Reinhardt promised so happily, is it sincere, you don't have a little pressure in your heart?
Everyone present looked at Führer Reinhardt, waiting for his answer.
In fact, it is very easy to guess what the Japanese want, and the best weapons and equipment in Germany are nothing more than tanks and armored vehicles, individual weapons, and air force fighters that Japan lacks.
There are a lot of things, but some can be given, and some cannot be given.
After all, it's a lesson for the white-eyed wolf, and the skill of going up the tree still can't be taught.
As for how much else to give, it depends on how Japan bids.
But before Reinhardt could speak, Hiroshi Oshima continued: "We need 200 ME-109 fighters, settle in cash!" ”
After thinking about it, Hiroshi Oshima continued: "In addition, we are willing to pay a larger fee, hoping that Germany can assist our Imperial Japanese Navy in developing a carrier-based fighter that can take off and land on at least a Shozuru-class aircraft carrier. ”
Reinhardt smiled and didn't speak, he was waiting for Hiroshi Oshima to continue to open his mouth.
Sure enough, Oshima paused and continued: "In addition, we will visit German tank factories and send apprentices and engineers to learn German tank technology. We want to look at the production line of the Leopard tank, not just a drawing, domestic engineers believe that if you do not see the production line of your tank, relying on a set of drawings alone will have no effect. ”
"And!" Hiroshi Oshima seemed to be addicted, and rushed to pour out all his demands: "The navy of the Great Japanese Empire wants to cooperate with the German navy and share a complete operational summary report." We are very interested in your country's operational plan and execution process for the annihilation of the main forces of the British Navy in the North Sea. The domestic navy believes that your country's combat report will be very helpful in our future operations against an imaginary enemy, such as Britain or the United States. ”
Fight against Britain and the United States, yes, help!
Reinhardt smiled and nodded, and said hypocritically, "That's no problem. The friendship between Japan and Germany is unbreakable, and we are willing to help our friends. We can discuss all these things you mentioned. But ........."
Without making Oshima Hiroshi wait too long, Reinhardt continued: "However, we need to ask our Japanese allies to do us a small favor in Asia, after all, everything needs to be exchanged for equal value. We have so much to help Japan, and naturally you need to meet some of our small requests. ”
Oshima Hiroshi naturally knew that good things were not given in vain, so he nodded and said, "Yuan Xiansheng, please speak up, what do you need the Great Japanese Empire to do for you?" ”
Reinhardt smiled slightly, and took out the plan that he had discussed with the War Department before: "We need Japan to fight north again before going south, attack the Soviet Far East, and alleviate the Soviet threat to the European theater." ”
"This ......" Hiroshi Oshima did not expect Reinhardt to give Japan such a problem.
It is no child's play to let Japan provoke another war against the Soviet Union in the Far East, and if Japan is not careful, Japan may never recover.
You must know that Japan was taught a hard lesson by the Soviet army at Nomenkan as early as last year, and they are unwilling to let Japan leapfrog to challenge the Soviet Union again.
"I can't be the master of this, I have to go back and ask my superiors for instructions." Hiroshi Oshima replied very cautiously.
Indeed, this kind of thing is not something that a small diplomat can grasp, and his task is only to convey the instructions given to him by his superiors, and he needs to report to his superiors before he can decide.
"It's not about giving you a full-scale war with the Soviet Union." Reinhardt saw that Hiroshi Oshima's eyes were wrong, and said with a smile: "As long as there is a skirmish with no less than 3 divisions in the Outer Mongolia region and the Soviet Union, it doesn't matter if you win or lose." Of course, winning is best for both sides. ”
Reinhardt saw Hiroshi Oshima's face look frightened and relaxed his requirements.
However, this is also the biggest concession that Germany can make, after all, if it wants to contain the Soviet Union's forces, it is too small to meet the requirements.
Not a full-scale war? It's not that things can't be considered.
Hiroshi Oshima frowned and secretly struggled.
On the one hand, it is possible to probe the reality of the current Soviet Union's forces in the Far East and test the depth of the Soviet army's current strength in the Far East.
On the other hand, we can see what the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Kwantung Army is now after rectification and reform, and whether it can have an advantage in the war against the Soviet Union.
You must know that since the last defeat, the Japanese base camp has successfully copied more than 30,000 Iron Fist rocket launchers bought from Germany, and all of them have been equipped for the Kwantung Army.
The current Kwantung Army's strength is already different from the beginning!
After weighing it up, Hiroya Oshima still decided not to agree or refuse first, and used a procrastination trick to solve the problem, and then drag it out for a few months.
"I have to discuss this matter with the base camp, and I can't answer it right away."
Reinhardt did not seem surprised by Hiroshi Oshima's answer, and he also knew that it would not be easy for Japan to fight the Soviet Union again.
So Reinhardt turned to smile and said, "Okay, I'll wait for the good news from Mr. Hiroshi Oshima." As soon as you attack, we will deliver everything your country wants. ”
"Don't worry, I will inform you immediately if there is news." Hiroshi Oshima replied.
Then, he stood up and said goodbye: "I'll go back to the embassy, contact the country, and urge the base camp to make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Reinhardt also got up and hugged Hiroshi Oshima again: "Old friend, I'm waiting for your good news. ”
When Hiroshi Oshima's car left the Führer's mansion, Hiroshi Oshima in the car restrained his smile and scolded in a low voice, "Eight Geyalu, this hypocritical villain!" "。
And Reinhardt, who was sitting in the room, also said to Steve and Ross beside him with a gloomy face: "First send Japan the drawings of the Zero fighter that were eliminated by our Air Force, which is considered an advance payment." Anyway, it's already a good thing for them. As for the rest....... Drag it out first, until the day when they have no use value, and there is no need to give it to them. ”
