Chapter 33 Bargaining
Although these peasants, who have only been training for more than two months after putting on military uniforms, cannot be called soldiers, it is believed that under such training, it will not be long before they will become excellent professional soldiers. It is hard for Bert to imagine that when Western countries were actively exploring and studying the direction of military development after World War I, this mysterious Eastern country that was backward at the same time actually had such a mature military system and had already put it into training.
If the country were given ten years to assemble its huge army and train it in the same way, who else could match it? And this country is vast and rich, and there are so many scarce resources in various empires here? At the same time, they have a huge population base, and there is no shortage of soldiers. Although the cultural quality is not high, they are simple and industrious, and most importantly, they are born with the tenacity of soldiers, once they are armed, it will be a terrible military force in the world!
I have to say that this Bert's vision is still quite vicious, and he can see the future achievements of this kind of army at a glance! As professional soldiers, the two of them can be said to have thought of one piece. As members of the Fotzel Advisory Group, they are not only for trade cooperation between the two countries, including in the military field, but more importantly, to seek or learn from the way to develop the military around the Treaty of Versailles!
Similarly, Xu Qingyun is also taking advantage of the existing conditions to conduct a thorough reorganization and training of the troops he can control, so as to get rid of the shadow of the army of the old era as soon as possible. And all this has only one purpose, and that is to bring all the powers that try to invade this country to the feet of this army! From the very beginning when he took over this unit, Xu Qingyun made clear to the military commanders below the main idea of this unit -- to defend the homeland and the country, and to do whatever it takes for the sake of his homeland and the country.
When Xu Qingyun waved his hands and passionately described the tempting future for his subordinates, Du Lei and the old team were all excited, this is the future that their soldiers want, and all this is only this stunned, no, it is a madman who dares to think and dare to do, although Xu Qingyun has long told them that this army belongs to the country, but without Xu Qingyun, this army is nothing, let alone making contributions, such a force with a very different style is back in such a big era. It's impossible to say whether it can continue to exist under the scene. To put it bluntly, Xu Qingyun is the soul of this army. Xu Qingyun's life and death are closely related to the life and death of this army. All the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division were tied to Xu Qingyun. In other words, the Seventh Division must work together to thoroughly implement Xu Qingyun's will and action in order to get what they want! At the end of the day, a new warlord from his contemporaries is about to take shape.
"Xu, your military thinking can be said to be very mature, with your ability, you should be a military staff officer in Nanjing, instead of commanding a division here to rush and kill!" Bert shook his big hands! "Dear Mr. Bert, you should know the characteristics of the current national government, and although my new 7th Division has advanced training ideas, it also consumes a lot of money, if there are no achievements, they will not approve of me doing this, and even make me a real peasant who is not in line with the military!" Bert didn't seem to understand Xu Qingyun's words very well.
"Xu, if your new Seventh Division has equipment, it can compete with a division of Japanese dwarf mules!" Bert approvingly. Xu Qingyun thought to himself, this big nose really doesn't eat rice. However, Xu Qingyun's goal is to be able to eat a first-class division group of devils, and not fall behind against two divisions, or even more! In the eyes of others, this Xu Erzi is really crazy. However, in Xu Qingyun's opinion, there is still a glimmer of hope, as long as there is equipment!
"So, Xu, what do you need me to do when you get back to Nanjing?" Bert didn't have the arrogance he had before, and he looked like he was learning with humility. I've seen it, it's time to get down to business! If someone else is willing to bow their heads and offer to help, then it means that it is time to talk about the conditions. For the early start of the Sino-German honeymoon period, Xu Qingyun can be said to be quite looking forward to it.
"Quite simply, Monsieur Bert has done everything he can to get Verzell to get your Congress to pass the passage of Sino-German trade." Bert didn't expect Xu Qingyun's vision to mention such a high strategic level. Bert shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Xu, you know that this is beyond my ability!" What's more, the Sino-German trade you mentioned must be mainly military, and this country is subject to the Treaty of Versailles! Xu Qingyun said disapprenosingly: "Mr. Bert, I believe that Mr. Verzell will have a way, and with the spirit of study and study of the people of your country, it will not be a problem to bypass the Treaty of Versailles." Don't tell me your Mr. Stanger is on vacation! ”
When Bert heard that Xu Qingyun had mentioned Stange all at once, his surprised mouth could hold an adult's fist. This plan is a secret of the National Defense Industry Research Institute, and Bert also heard a few words from Verzell after a drunken time! How did this little young master of the East know? Maybe he just knew about Stanger? Or have traitors appeared within the empire?
"Xu, it seems that you don't have the conditions to impress us!" Bert stubbornly continued to probe the truth. How could Xu Qingyun not know Bert's thoughts? "Mr. Bert, you and I are both professional soldiers, why don't you leave non-professional things to other professionals? I just want to say from the perspective of a soldier that your country is indeed more intelligent than Versailles, although the things you have developed are very advanced, but in my opinion it is very impractical, even in wartime all the arsenals of your country will not meet your needs at full capacity. ”
Xu Qingyun's laughter was even more terrifying than a demon in Bert's eyes. Could it be that the empire spent so much manpower and material resources to research something of epoch-making significance that was so unbearable in the eyes of this little master? If it is really as this young master said, then this shortcoming will be disastrous in wartime! He really couldn't understand that this young master from the East, who was thousands of miles away from the empire, could be able to watch the empire's military industry like a fire! Thinking about the identity of this little young master, Bert was a little relieved. But this Xu family's ability seems to be too perverted, right?
"So, Xu, let me see your conditions?" Bert's eyes are like a small child seeing a tempting apple. Xu Qingyun's temptation was undoubtedly quite successful. "My improvement plan is patentable, but compared to advancing your country's military plan by ten years, I believe your country will not care about my small patent?" Xu Qingyun spread his hands! "What? Decade? Bert exclaimed unabashedly. Xu Qingyun didn't expect Bert's reaction to be so big!
At this time, because of the defeat in World War I, Germany can be said to be holding back a momentum to seek a post-war rise. Ten years is more precious than gold compared to Germany's meagre resources. What harm if you can get rid of other countries for ten years at the same time and give this young master a little money? However, Xu Qingyun's conditions are a bit harsh!
"I hope that your country can help our national government to establish a military industrial production line with modern national defense significance as soon as possible, and send military instructors to help our ** team carry out modern integration training! At the same time, new production lines of weapons must be put into production in our country! Xu Qingyun stopped talking and looked at Bert's reaction.
"Xu, the production line will be built in our country!" Xu Qingyun had expected that Bert would mention such a stubble! "No, no, Mr. Bert, the production line has to be built in China. Think about it, we have abundant resources here, your country can train military technicians here, once the war starts, your country can quickly return to China to set up a production line and put it into production, and even openly develop the cutting-edge weapons you want to develop, we are not restricted by Versailles. In addition, we can stock up on weapons in advance, and our government can come to your country's aid at a very large discount before the war begins, so why not do it? Xu Qingyun talked eloquently.
Yes, the biggest obstacle for Germany now is the Versailles Treaty and resources, and as for technology, Germany is very confident. Technology for resources and development has indeed reached the maximum benefit of both parties! However, how to promote the formation of this plan still requires the active efforts of the high-level leaders of the two countries!
The following does not count as a word count. I'm very sorry that I couldn't update it in time when I rushed to Lhasa, and the matter in Lhasa was dealt with and resumed normal updates. Thank you for your support!
