Chapter 1334 Aircraft Pre-sale Case
"Instructor, how many planes did Germany and Britain order from us?"
Xu Huaijin asked. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
Zhang Yi replied: "The Germans have 300 planes in five years, and the British have 150 planes in five years, a total of 450 planes!" ”
"In the next five years, with our aircraft production capacity, I am afraid that we can only produce 1,000 aircraft......"
Zhang Yi nodded and replied: "Second-generation aircraft, we are equipped with a maximum of two hundred, there is no point in more, within five years, our third-generation aircraft can definitely be mass-produced, there is no need to equip the second generation too much, then there will be eight hundred left to all countries, and minus the share of Britain and Germany, there will be three hundred and fifty." ”
Xu Huaijin muttered: "France can give them more, even if Tsarist Russia counts, after all, we border Tsarist Russia, if we sell too much to them, it will also be a threat to us." ”
"Well, then sell one hundred and twenty to France, one hundred to Tsarist Russia, and the remaining one hundred and thirty, and give them to other countries for purchase, if it is still not enough, then it can be outside, in preparation for fifty to be provided to various countries, what we want now is real money, as for weapons, hehe, it is enough for us to deter the great powers and dominate Asia......"
Zhang Yi replied.
Xu Huaijin nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk to them according to this framework!" ”
Zhang Yi replied: "You don't need to go to the mushrooms one by one, give them a notice, and ask all the envoys and ministers of various countries to gather in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let's solve the problem at one time, no one can start with their mushrooms, we have something to do!" ”
Xu Huaijin smiled: "Okay, I know, I'll gather the relevant personnel in a while, let's set the details, what about our offer?" ”
"Two hundred thousand pounds! If you want to buy it, then pay for it, otherwise, get out of it as soon as possible, is there still a shortage of buyers for our aircraft? ”
Zhang Yi said disdainfully.
A few words. Zhang Yi decided the overall situation, as for the details, Xu Huaijin was there, so he didn't have to think much about it.
The third day finally arrived, and as soon as Xu Huaijin's plan to sell the plane was announced, countries were boiling.
The French envoy Corey stood up and shouted, "General Xu. It's not fair, it's definitely not fair. Why let Germany and Britain take the lion's share, we can only drink soup? I ask for a redistribution of aircraft for the next five years! Is German money money, and ours not money? ”
The special envoy of Tsarist Russia, Kulizov, also roared angrily: "No, resolutely not, General Xu, your country sold so many planes to the Germans at once, what should we do with the Tsarist Russian Empire?" Should we be directly threatened by the bombing of your country's aircraft, this is absolutely not possible, I resolutely protest. The distribution plan must be reformulated! ”
Xu Huaijin's face sank, he had a good temper, that was to his own people, for these Westerners, especially the French, he didn't even have a good impression, you must know that his father died in the Sino-French Mawei Naval Battle. The hatred of killing my father is not shared, and now the French and the Russians are so arrogant, it is purely a lack of cleanup!
Xu Huaijin said coldly: "Do you want it?" If I didn't want it, I could just overturn the plan and sell all those shares to the British or Germans! ”
Kuryzov shouted: "General Xu, what do you mean by this. Don't you sell advanced weapons without taking into account the feelings of our neighbors? ”
Xu Huaijin sneered: "What? Should I consider your feelings? When you provoked trouble in the northwest and invaded Chinese territory, did you consider the feelings of the Chinese? Reason with me now? ! ”
Kurizov was choked by Xu Huaijin's words and fell silent.
Corijean, however, did not care about this, and exclaimed: "We French have not seized your territory, we are adjacent to the Germans. They have so many planes at once, we have reason to doubt the military intentions of the Germans, and this scheme is absolutely unacceptable to us! ”
Xu Huaijin slapped the table and shouted, "Didn't seize the territory? Have you forgotten the Battle of Mawei back then? Mr. Corijan, if you are worried that the Germans will attack you, then you should try to ease relations with the Germans, and not interfere in our internal affairs! ”
Corey replied: "We really can't interfere in the internal affairs of your country, but we ask your country to sell France as many planes as Germany, so as to ensure the equilibrium of our two countries, a Europe in the midst of war, for your country, there is no benefit, is it?" What's more, we'll come up with a more generous price tag! ”
Xu Huaijin sneered: "It's late! Why did you go earlier, the Germans had already signed an agreement with us a few days ago, and at that time, you had not yet arrived in Beijing, and now you remember that you were in a hurry, why did you go earlier? Once the treaty has been signed, no country has the right to unilaterally change it, unless you convince Wilhelm II! ”
Corry's face darkened, rubbing, if I can convince Wilhelm II, why are I still here?
The U.S. envoy Joel on the side frowned and replied: "General Xu, it is indeed too much to sign an agreement between your country and Britain and Germany on such an important arms order, without notifying the countries in advance, this matter will affect the strategic balance of the world, are you in a negotiation with President Jianzhi, although this matter has little to do with Meijian, but we also hope that your country can think more about the relationship between countries in the world......
Xu Huaijin replied: "Mr. Joel, it's very simple, Britain, France and Russia have always advanced and retreated together, and the Germans are not on good terms, if we sell the same planes to Britain, France and Russia as the Germans, then it will affect the strategic pattern of the world, am I not right, if you want to maintain world peace, then you must let Germany maintain a slight advantage over any one of the countries in Britain, France and Russia, this is the best way to avoid war!" ”
……
Xu Huaijin and others had a fierce dispute with the ministers of various countries for a whole day, and seeing that Xu Huaijin did not give an inch, they had to accept this result, but in order to compensate France and Russia, Xu Huaijin promised them that they could take out forty planes from their share and sell them to the two countries.
In this way, the total number of aircraft in Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary has reached more than 500, and the number of aircraft in Britain, France and Russia is also more than 500, and the two sides are still in a weak balance, but in general, Germany still occupies the advantage, after all, he has the most planes in a single country, and maintains a huge air superiority over its neighbors!
Germany has become the biggest "winner" in this aircraft order, and with such an advantage, it is natural that it will no longer worry about the encirclement of Europe, and it can open its mind to frenzied competition with the Entente!
