234th plot Germany
When the train enters Germany, the Franco-German border is a mess, and the sight is terrifying. Looking at the traces left by the war, it seems to perceive the tragic fighting on the battlefield. This scene is reminiscent of a terrible war, and everyone falls into a state of silence.
In order to enliven the atmosphere, Ge Yunfei took advantage of the scene to explain the classic battle examples of the two sides, and when everyone was drunk and listening, a subordinate came in with a telegram to report: "Chief Chief, Mr. Hu is calling!" Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi took the telegram and checked it, and immediately said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"Chief, Mr. Hu has good news, the French side has agreed to our request to reasonably compensate the labor losses, and the relevant compensation rules are being negotiated." Gu Weijun said: "The chief wants to capture the old man, and the French are naturally anxious." The crowd laughed happily. Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said: "Commander-in-chief, after the defeat of Germany, the Kaiser stepped down and went into exile. Although Germany established the Weimar Republic, it was very chaotic and I am worried about your safety? ”
Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "The internal chaos in Germany is only a local area, and it is normal for people to be disappointed in the future due to the defeat of the war. At present, the German army is in the hands of a general headed by Field Marshal Hindenburg, who sent me a telegram reassuring me to come to Germany and promised to send troops to protect our security. In addition, from the second half of last year to the present, more than a year has not been fully counted about 500,000 Germans going to China, and there are still a large number of Germans going to China, and it is estimated that it will reach 1 million next year. Nowadays, Germans have a good impression of the Chinese, and our safety will not be a problem. ”
Ge Yunfei continued: "From January to June this year, Qingdao alone received 50,000 Germans, and in addition, the German expatriates in Qingdao spontaneously organized themselves and united with the German diaspora in Shandong and Shanghai to donate money and materials to support the German mainland. From January to June, there were more than 20 cargo ships carrying relief materials from Qingdao and Shanghai to Germany. In addition, the German side welcomes our request for large-scale economic cooperation in the Weimar Republic. ”
Gu Weijun said: "Foreign Minister Tang, according to the information I have, due to China's reasons, the chaotic German economy after the war is gradually recovering, and the people's confidence is strengthening. The most unstable factor at the moment was the emergence of numerous factions in Germany, but the power of the German army remained in the hands of the generals under the group of Field Marshal Hindenburg. Although Albert was president, his position would not have been secure without the support of the military. ”
"During my visit to Germany, I will actually meet with Hindenburg, but I will meet President Albert in public, and the main purpose of my meeting with the President is to discuss economic and technical cooperation between China and Germany. Foreign Minister Tang, Sino-German negotiations should be coordinated with you and me! "Chief, I don't have any preparation, I don't know how to start." "Don't worry, I'll talk about it, the Germans urgently need China's help to tide over the difficulties, to put it bluntly, the Germans have something to ask us for, so it's not a problem to achieve the goal."
The train stopped at Ludwig, a border city in Germany, and according to the prior arrangement, Ge Yunfei and his entourage were to transfer to a special train from Germany to Berlin. A German officer on the platform raised his hand to greet Ge Yunfei and saluted: "Colonel Benig reports to the general, and under the order of Marshal Hindenburg, he will lead a guard company to serve as the general's guard, please get on the train!" Ge Yunfei knew that Hindenburg had gone into the wilderness and was currently recuperating in his private estate. Hindenburg did not have any official title on the surface, but he was in control of the command of the German army.
On the platform, there were three carriages of the special train sent by the German side, Ge Yun flew into the middle carriage, and Benig commanded the guard troops to get into the front and rear carriages. Soon, the train continued on its way with a flute. Everyone on the train looked at the scenery outside the window, and Ge Yunfei took the opportunity to explain the topography of Germany: "The terrain of Germany is low in the north and high in the south, and the Bode Plain in the north is also part of the Central European Plain, with an altitude of less than 100 meters. The northern plains are relatively barren and mainly pasturelands. The central part is mainly a mountainous area of highlands, and in the southwest is the Rhine Valley, where our train travels. To the southeast is the Bavarian Plateau and the Alps, with river valleys with long sunshine hours and fertile land. ”
Sa Zhenbing joked: "The chief not only speaks fluent German, but also knows so much about the terrain and landforms of Germany. Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "Knowledge has no borders, and a lot of knowledge can be obtained from books, so Yelang is arrogant and sits in the well and watches the sky, which makes us lack of understanding of the world, which is also one of the reasons why the ancient Chinese country is outdated in modern times." The policy of closing the country to the outside world has led to China's rejection of the world's industrial civilization in modern times, and it has become a cocoon, backward and beaten. When we realize the mistakes we have made, strengthen our goals, and integrate into the world, a new China will surely stand tall in the eastern ······ of the world. ”
When the train arrived in Berlin, Ge Yunfei and his entourage were received by President Albert. It was a natural thing to do, and after friendly consultations, the two sides formally signed an all-round cooperation agreement between China and Germany in the economic and scientific and technological fields. The content of the agreement is that Germany and Germany will not set up trade barriers in the economic field, and will be equal and mutually beneficial. In the field of science and technology, Germany and Germany share scientific and technological achievements, and the German side agrees to send elites in various fields of science and technology to work in China, and the Chinese side provides preferential treatment. The two sides reached an agreement on the purchase of a complete set of equipment for a German shipyard, including the transfer of German skilled workers to work in China. Subsequently, the Chinese representatives headed by Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi continued to negotiate with the German side in relevant fields, and Ge Yunfei disappeared temporarily.
A week later, Ge Yunfei's figure secretly appeared at the Hannover Manor in Poznań, East Prussia. Poznań was a Polish territory that was forcibly occupied by Prussia for a hundred years. After the signing of the Versailles Agreement, Poznan returned to Poland. Paul, von, and Hindenburg were born here, and at this time, Hindenburg stood in front of the manor and personally greeted Ge Yunfei's arrival. A truck carrying heavily armed German soldiers, several black cars stopped in front of the Hannover manor, and two of the sedans, Ge Yunfei and Sa Zhenbing, got out of the car respectively.
Hindenburg, who was in his seventies, was tall and burly, and looked young in a military uniform, and if it were not for his white hair, he would not be able to see his antiquity. Hindenburg warmly welcomed Ge Yunfei and others into the manor, and the guests and hosts had lunch together in a friendly atmosphere. During the banquet, Hindenburg said: "General Ge, your country would like to express its sincere gratitude to the German officers and soldiers in Qingdao for their proper placement, and as German soldiers!" "Your Excellency Marshal, a new type of state-to-state relations has been established between China and Germany, and on this basis, China and Germany should further strengthen cooperation in the military field."
Hindenburg sighed and said: "We are the defeated and are not qualified to develop weapons and equipment, especially limited by the Treaty of Versailles, how can China and Germany carry out military cooperation?" "Your Excellency Marshal, the Chinese have an idiom called Ming Xiu Plank Road secretly crossing Chen Cang, I think Your Excellency Marshal will not stop there!" "Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang?" "This is a classic battle ······ in ancient China." "General Ge, don't hide it, how can you be willing to fail as a soldier, the German nation cannot be defeated."
Hindenburg continued: "General Ge, I would like to hear your advice, which is the core of our secret conversation. "Your Excellency, Marshal, express my sincerity before making a proposal." Ge Yunfei waved his hand, and his subordinate took a briefcase. Ge Yunfei opened his briefcase and took out a dozen drawings and said: "Your Excellency, this is all the drawings of the stockless submachine gun and the gun grenade, in view of your country's advanced manufacturing technology, it will soon be able to be manufactured in large quantities, and the quality will be better." As far as I know, the Treaty of Versailles exempts light weapons from the list of restrictions. ”
Hindenburg looked at the drawings and said: "I didn't expect your country to be able to manufacture such advanced light weapons, very beautiful submachine guns, grenadiers are very practical on the battlefield, General Ge sincerely smiled himself!" However, we would prefer to cooperate with you in the field of tanks, combat vehicles and warplanes! "At the moment we are developing heavy tanks and more advanced combat aircraft, Sino-German cooperation is a win-win situation, but we have one condition?" "On what terms?" "In view of the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles, we hope to put the development and development of heavy tanks and new fighters in China!"
Hindenburg hesitated and said, "I agree, but it must be kept in the highest sense of secrecy!" "Rest assured, Your Excellency, that our secrecy is of the highest order. In addition, the use of large internal combustion engines in ships in the future is the trend of the times, and we hope to cooperate in the field of large internal combustion engines, and hope that His Excellency the Marshal will help! "General Ge is so frank, I have no opinion." Ge Yunfei was secretly happy when he heard this, and it seemed that Hindenburg was probably not interested in the future aircraft carrier, or knew nothing. This time, what Ge Yunfei is most eager to get is to cooperate with Germany in the field of large internal combustion engines, which is the most critical part of building aircraft carriers in the future.
Ge Yunfei's goal was achieved, and Hindenburg also got the desired result, which can be described as an instant hit. Hindenburg, as the general of the defeated German army, naturally had an urgent desire to strengthen the German army again. However, the shame of defeat, especially the heavy burden of war reparations, made it more difficult for Germany to develop its armaments than to ascend to the sky. Nowadays, Ge Yunfei sent such a big gift, and Hindenburg couldn't ask for it. The two talked about their happiness, and Ge Yunfei suddenly said: "Your Excellency, why don't you run for president?" Hindenburg was stunned.
Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "There is a good saying, only by holding power in your hands can you realize your ideals and ambitions." I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm afraid that I can't think of it. "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a true warrior, and I'm not one of them!"
Hindenburg invited Ge Yunfei to stay in the manor for a long time, and that night his subordinates walked into the room and said, "Chief Chief, Major Li called, and the person we need has been found!" Ge Yunfei glanced at Wen Qing and made it easier for his subordinates to walk into another room. The commander-in-chief, Major Lee, through British agents, looked for a killer. This man is a sniper and is currently destitute ······. ”
"I don't need to know about this person's situation, tell Major Li to contact this person as soon as possible, and take action if appropriate!" "Yes!" After his subordinates left, a smile appeared on the corner of Ge Yunfei's mouth.
