Chapter 204: Training the Navy (Today's Update)
German Chancellor Adolf Hitler received a telegram from the German military inspection team, which stated in detail what the delegation had seen and heard in the North, especially the armored cluster tactics of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteers, and called it a new method of operation for the Panzer Army.

Although Hitler had not yet reached the top, the Nazi Party was menacing, and its control was already extraordinary, and it was only a matter of time before it reached the top.
Hitler was ambitious, he had bigger goals, and the strength of the German army was a top priority.
Therefore, Hitler did not hesitate and immediately gave an order: to agree to all the demands of the other side, and Germany would select the best elements as quickly as possible, and the officers would arrive in the East in the second half of the year to learn and master the tactics of armored clusters.
Colonel Manstein, who had received the order, immediately held talks with the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Government in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
"General Feng, the delegation has received instructions from China, and Germany will select officers to come here as soon as possible to learn armored cluster tactics. Of course, you can negotiate with any of your requirements, and we will try our best to meet them. In accordance with the leader's intentions, he wants to establish a long-term relationship between the two sides, and Germany is happy to help you. ā
Colonel Manstein knew the conditions Feng Tian had said before, but he didn't feel that Feng Tian had asked for this.
This time it was a formal negotiation authorized by the German government, and Manstein thought that Feng Tian must negotiate his own terms.
Feng Tian smiled slightly and said, "Although the environment in the north is poor, this place is the most suitable for armored cluster drills. We are willing to help Germany, and I will personally follow the matter and try to produce the most outstanding Panzer Corps commanders for Germany.
As for what conditions our side has, in fact, it has already been said last time, and some preparations have been made here, and a group of naval talents have been selected to study in Germany.
I hope that in three years they will become qualified naval talents, and they will be able to fight, and they will win the war.
On the other hand, I hope that some universities of the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army will send some students and teachers to Germany for exchange and study, learn about Western education, and strengthen the integration of Eastern and Western education.
Just because Northland doesn't have a navy now doesn't mean there will never be one.
Northland needs to make some preparations in advance, that is, it needs shipbuilding equipment, but also needs shipbuilding talents, and of course it will send people to Germany to learn shipbuilding technology.
In the near future, Northland will also need to have its own navy, which will require a certain number of warships.
Of course, it is still too early to say this, and in the future, we will continue to strengthen mutual trust, cooperation, and friendship between the two sides. ā
Colonel Manstein was stunned, isn't this still the condition said last time?
Of course, the addition of a university exchange event is not a condition.
"General Feng, Germany is serious and willing to help you. You said this last time, do you really have no other requirements? ā
Feng Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "That's probably it, in addition, at some point in the future, there may be a small request, which is easy for the German side to do."
However, it is difficult to say now, it depends on the development, and then we will talk about it.
Of course, some companies in the Northland want to be taken care of by the German government in their business activities in Europe. Businesses may have some normal business activities, such as business loans.
As far as I know, Europe is not equal to some businesses in the East.
Actually, it doesn't matter if the conditions are met, as a person, I am willing to help Germany. There is some sympathy for Germany's previous suffering, and at the end of World War I, Germany was not defeated, but the reality is very unfair.
Well, don't worry about the so-called conditions, as long as the two sides maintain friendship, this is what I would like to see the most. ā
Not only did Colonel Manstein feel Feng Tian's sincerity, but even the other members of the delegation were also very moved, and it was rare that the other party was a local armed force, and it did not open his mouth to the German lions.
And, you listen to what he said, it's simply more German than a German.
As Germans, they knew better what the outcome of the First World War meant.
In World War I, the Germans really couldn't fight, but they were not defeated, and the treatment was almost the same as defeat.
There is no such mistreatment of people, and every German is deeply ashamed.
Almost all the members of the German military expedition group originally admired Feng Tian a little, and after listening to Feng Tian's expression, they even had a kind of heartfelt admiration, this oriental god of war is really unusual, and at the same time, he is so friendly to Germany.
Feng Tian no longer mentioned conditions, but kept a simple condition and waited until the right time came.
Colonel Maninstein felt embarrassed that Northland was so generous, is it interesting for a country to take advantage of such a local organization as Northland?
But the people were so capricious that Colonel Maninstein had no choice but to give up and said: "Since it is difficult to say now, then we will talk about it then, and the German side reserves its promise to you." As long as you bring it up, Germany will satisfy you.
According to the information coming from China, the selection of German officers is begining, and it is estimated that they will definitely arrive in the north in the second half of the year, and it is hoped that the north will have time to prepare and provide food, lodging, teaching, and other matters.
The students and teachers of the Northland School who go to Germany for study and exchange do not know when they will be ready and make a good time arrangement, and the German side will be easy to receive. As for the business activities of Northland companies, they can be assured in Germany. Loans are not a problem, and I think the German government will say something. ā
The two sides have entered the stage of detailed arrangement, and Feng Tian is not polite. He replied: "Except for the slightly rudimentary conditions in the Northland, we will try our best to do a good job in reception, and there are no problems with accommodation, food and teaching." As for the exchange personnel of the Northland School to Germany, they are all ready-made, either with Colonel Maninstein or alone in the second half of the year, depending on the convenience of Germany. ā
it, it's so efficient here, you can set off at any time.
In fact, regarding this aspect of the content, Feng Tian began to consider it a long time ago and made corresponding arrangements.
Although the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army does not have a navy, the former Northeast Army Navy Command still exists, and there are still a small number of naval officers and even soldiers, plus the naval cadets of the school, and the Northland Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army can also make up some expatriate personnel.
Later, after some universities in Peiping moved over, Fengtian selected some students in these schools and made preliminary preparations. For example, language learning, as well as some basic courses.
Therefore, these expatriates are now going to Germany, at least they will not understand nothing, and they have some foundation.
As for the students and faculty of the university, it is even simpler.
By the time it became known that Colonel Maninstein and the military expedition had come to Northland, the work had already begun.
Feng God knows that when Hitler saw the tank, this war maniac would definitely have an adrenaline rush, and if he didn't have any ideas in his heart, then he wouldn't be Hitler.
Cast the bait, and seal the sky without fear that the fish will not take the bait.
"That's good, if it's time, go to Germany with you when the exam team leaves. If there are too many people, you can also set off in batches, and the German side will definitely arrange everything. ā
The negotiations between the two sides were smooth and friendly, there were no disputes and no bargaining during the negotiations, and such negotiations are really rare.
Maninstein promised his cousin Sophie to help her fulfill her wish and become the Lady of the Heavens this morning.
At the end of the expedition, Manstein was busy with his business, and he wanted to take the opportunity to settle Sophie's affairs.
Sophie has a point, the Junkers have little way out of this matter, and Sophie must marry Fengtian.
The Sophie incident was a big news sensation in the Western world, and Colonel Maninstein had just learned that when they got off the train, Feng Tian and Sophie came to greet them, and a pair of jade figures were photographed by reporters and sent to Europe.
Now Europe is a sensation again, the media is hyped, handsome men and beautiful women are cheering, and the old medicine jar is boiling again with water.
The last media storm has not been long, and most people still remember it vividly.
After all, most people want to see a happy ending.
If, due to the opposition of her family, Sophie did not become the lady of Fengtian, wouldn't the Junkers become the target of attack by young people in the West? Once the news leaks, it is not known how the media in Europe will toss.
Thinking about this kind of consequence, Colonel Maninstein shuddered a little, this kind of consequence can't afford it!
Therefore, Maninstein surrendered first and resolutely supported Sophie to marry Fengtian, and in this matter, Sophie finally won a big victory.
Manstein figured out that since this marriage had to be established, why not strive for a better outcome?
The first lady of Fengtian already exists, and no one can do anything about it.
Then, the second lady must win it, and before anyone else can do it, it is imperative to solve this matter. The honor of the Junckers is at stake, and Colonel Maninstein must give it his all.
As for the family's opinion, whether it is against or agrees with it is a bit of a concern now.
Colonel Maninstein, however, felt that there was no problem.
Colonel Manstein had sent a telegram back, briefly explaining the situation and expressing his attitude.
Sophie has been here for a long time, especially loves Chinese culture, and knows a little about the customs of this place, so she asked her cousin to visit the old man of the Feng family first according to the customs and habits here, and propose marriage by the way.
Now the old man Fengyuan lives with his son and daughter. He has a separate courtyard, with his daughter's yard on one side and his son's yard on the other, so that both his son and daughter can take care of it.
Now that his son is promising, the old man is very satisfied.
Now Old Man Feng's greatest wish is to see the next generation as soon as possible.
Of course, now the granddaughter is still too young to wait.
As for Sophie, she has already been familiar with the old man.
Although Sophie is a foreign girl, she is very well-behaved and very popular with the old man, so the old man does not object to his son marrying a foreign girl.
In the old man's heart, he probably already regarded Sophie as a daughter-in-law, although the ceremony had not yet been held.
Manstein visited the old man with a gift and proposed the marriage contract on behalf of the family.
Of course, the old man was very happy, and said again and again: "Good, good, this is good." As long as two people have no opinion, I raise my hands in agreement. ā
The old man was very talkative here, but Feng Tian next to him didn't let him go, and joked: "Old Man, it seems that you understand our national conditions, follow the customs and routines here, and know to come to see my father first." But are you missing something? ā
Hey, Colonel Maninstein didn't know what he was missing, looking at Feng Tian's evil smile on his face, he knew that Feng Tian was joking.
However, Maninstein still didn't understand what he had missed, and asked with a strange expression: "Feng, isn't that the custom here?" For the marriage of children, you must first visit the elders, and you must first ask for the approval of the elderly, but I have learned about it. ā
Feng Tian smiled evilly: "Hehe, it's not bad that Lao Man can do this." The first step is to go right, but it's not right to come empty-handed, the proposal must have a marriage, the woman should have a dowry, where is your family's dowry? ā
This guy is so bad that he fools other foreign devils.
"Really? It turns out that there is really such a saying, I really don't know that the woman should have a dowry. However, it seems that there is also such a custom in India, and there are many dowries. It doesn't matter, we'll make it up. ā
Maninstein is serious, not messing around like Feng Tian.
"Don't, I'm joking with you, we'll be a family in the future, just liven up the atmosphere, don't take it seriously, I don't lack any dowry." Maninstein took it seriously, and Feng Tian didn't want to joke anymore, so he quickly explained.
Manstein was in a good mood, and it went well, that is, Sophie was 100% second lady.
Although he knew that Feng Tian was joking, Maninstein still replied: "Hehe, your future brother-in-law is not easy to deal with." However, since there is this custom in the East, it is better for us to observe it. It is your business that you are not lacking, and our preparation for marriage is our business, which are two different things. ā
Yes, Maninstein really takes it seriously.
Sophie also added oil and vinegar to the side, and took the opportunity to say: "Cousin, there must be a dowry for a daughter, there is no empty talk, the East has always attached great importance to customs, and it is related to face." This matter is also related to the face of the Juncker family, and you have to discuss it carefully when you go back, but don't be inadequately prepared, and take out what you have in hand and lose your share. The Eastern world is very different from the West, you just look at India. Now that I want to marry in the East, I have to do it according to the customs of the East. ā
Yes, this one hasn't married yet, and he's already turned his arm out.
And Sophie also specifically mentioned India, because the customs there are more prosperous, and the woman's dowry is even more powerful than in China.
"Hehe, what my cousin meant, probably said don't lose your face, right?" Maninstein seemed to understand what Sophie meant, the girl looked out, this hasn't come out yet. So, half-jokingly fought back.
Sophie didn't want to be left behind, and countered: "The little woman is insignificant, her personal face is not as good as the family's face, but I am thinking about the Junker family." (To be continued.) )
