In order to reach an agreement as soon as possible, several parts of the meeting were discussed at the same time, and the participating generals of the Donde-Poland state discussed the future course of the war in considerable depth and tried to reach an agreement on the formulation of an overall strategy. Among them, the most critical was the German offensive in the Western European theater and the assistance provided by the Tang Empire to Germany.

From the 19th to the 25th, the two sides spent six days to negotiate the details, as Tan Renhao expected, the first disagreement between the Tang and German countries about when the Tang Imperial Navy would enter the North Atlantic, and whether Germany should send troops to southern Europe, and the main issue between the two sides was how much armored troops the Tang Empire could send to the Western European battlefield, and in addition, who would command the Tang Empire's armored forces.

The argument lasted until the 25th, and both sides made concessions. The Tang Empire will send an armored expeditionary force (the size of an army group) composed of five tank divisions, eight motorized infantry divisions, and about 220,000 people to the Western European battlefield, and a general will be assigned by the Tang Imperial Army to command, and in combat operations, the armored expeditionary force will obey the unified command of the German General Staff, and Germany will provide assistance in logistics support and other aspects to the expeditionary force, and this group of troops will be directly drawn from the battlefield against Russia and transferred from the Eurasian land bridge of the Persian Empire to the German Eastern Front battlefield. It then passed through Germany to the Western European theater and was deployed in August.

The general offensive of the German army will also begin in August, and in fact, the scale of the armored forces that Germany can put into the Western Front is comparable to the size of the armored expeditionary force provided by the Tang Empire.

The Germans planned to commit eight tank divisions and twelve motorized infantry divisions to the Western Front, which amounted to about 280,000 men. It can be seen in terms of tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery ground configurations.

Both the German tank and motorized infantry divisions were slightly smaller in size than their counterparts in the Tang Empire. Eight German tank divisions had more than 2,700 tanks, while five Tang tank divisions had more than 2,400 tanks.

Therefore. The Tang Imperial Panzer Expeditionary Force was to undertake half of the combat missions on the Western Front, and the specific arrangements would be determined by the German General Staff.

Germany gave up its almost unreasonable demand for the Tang Empire's navy to enter the North Atlantic as soon as possible, but in addition to this, the Tang Empire reached an agreement with the Persian Empire that the Tang Empire would provide naval assistance to the Persian Empire as much as possible. Assist the Persian Empire in defending the Eastern Mediterranean to secure sea routes from the Tang Empire mainland to Southeast Europe. In addition, the Tang Empire will also increase its investment in the North African battlefield, consolidate its strongholds in the South Atlantic, and independently undertake the task of dealing with the British expeditionary fleet.

Investments in these three directions were also extremely important for the Tang Empire itself.

The fighting in the eastern Mediterranean was directly related to the safety of the Tang and German shipping routes, and at this time, eighty percent of the strategic materials transported from the Tang Empire and the Persian Empire to Germany had to take the sea route, and the war materials provided to Germany by the Tang Empire and the Persian Empire accounted for forty percent of the total war consumption of Germany. Especially the oil of the Persian Empire, seventy percent of the oil needed by Germany at that time came from the Persian Empire, and this. Almost half of them are transported by sea. If there was no oil from the Persian Empire, Germany would have been defeated long ago. In addition, the Eastern Mediterranean theater is the flank of the North African theater. If the combined European fleet had reached the eastern Mediterranean, the defense line of Alexandria would have collapsed, and the Suez Canal would have fallen into the hands of the enemy, with unimaginable results.

The North African theater was the fourth largest battlefield in the continental war at that time. Until now, the main combat missions had been carried out by the army of the Persian Empire. From 23 onwards, the Tang Empire sent a North African expeditionary force to assist the Persian Empire in its wars. Initially, the North African Expeditionary Force had only ten infantry divisions and two anti-aircraft artillery divisions, and was mainly responsible for the defense of the Suez Canal (mainly air defense). By the end of 23, the size of the North African Expeditionary Force had grown to the size of twenty-five divisions, of which two were tank divisions. And by now, the North African Expeditionary Force has reached the size of forty divisions, of which eight are armored forces. The Tang Empire Expeditionary Force has become the main combat force on the battlefield in North Africa, especially the armored forces of the eight divisions, which fought several beautiful battles in the desert battlefield of North Africa, so that the Italian-Spanish and French forces could not break through the Alexandria defense line at all, let alone threaten the security of the Suez Canal.

Not to mention the importance of Cape Town in the South Atlantic. In the case that the Persian Imperial Navy was unable to move south, only the Tang Imperial Navy could stop the incoming British expeditionary fleet here.

The gain or loss of this port is not only related to whether the Tang Empire has the right to operate in the Atlantic, but also to the safety of the Indian Ocean shipping route, which is the main channel of communication between the Tang Empire and the Persian Empire and Germany.

Throughout the Tang-Poland agreement, the Tang Empire would promise to provide the Persian Empire with more warships, train naval officers and sailors for the Persian Empire, as well as provide the Persian Empire with the technology to build new warships, train skilled workers in shipyards, build infrastructure, and so on. This was already the best that the Tang Empire could do at that time, and while the fighting in the Pacific theater was still raging, the Tang Empire could not provide more and more powerful assistance to the Persian Empire.

In the whole agreement, the Tang-German agreement is the most critical. In addition to the thirteen armored divisions promised, the Tang Empire also provided Germany with a large amount of weapons and equipment in the form of a package agreement, the most notable of which was the agreement to send expeditionary aviation to Germany.

The Tang Empire will send at least three heavy bomber units of the Strategic Strike Force to Germany by the end of 25 years, and the total size of more than 3,000 "wolf doves" will fly to Germany one after another, and the pilots of the Tang Empire will fly these bombers to carry out strategic bombing operations against Britain.

In addition, the naval aviation of the Tang Empire will send 40 fighter squadrons to Germany, mainly to carry out escort missions, and will also undertake part of the air defense tasks of the German mainland.

In terms of army aviation, the Tang Imperial Army Aviation will send 25 squadrons of expeditionary aviation to Germany by 60 years, including 20 fighter squadrons and 40 bomber squadrons. The main task of this tactical expeditionary aviation unit was to assist the Luftwaffe in gaining air supremacy on the Western Front and to provide air support as the armoured forces advanced.

In order to meet these fighters, Germany will provide at least 40 airfields for the two expeditionary air forces of the Tang Empire by the end of 25 years. And prepare the infrastructure, supply these aircraft with ammunition, fuel. Accommodation for pilots, living guarantees. and even the pilot's allowance and so on. In other words, Germany actually hired pilots from the Tang Empire to fight for Germany, which was much better than Germany retraining pilots. In addition, there is an additional clause in the agreement, if necessary. The Tang Empire could recruit these two expeditionary forces at any time, and at the same time, the Tang Empire would train pilots for Germany and gradually replace the Tang Empire pilots who fought in Germany.

There are even more related aid agreements.

The Don Empire was to supply Germany with a line of heavy bombers, and also with "wolf doves"

All the production techniques of the bomber allowed Germany to produce its own heavy bomber in 26 years. The first batch of skilled workers were trained by the Tang Empire's local aircraft factories, and before that, the Tang Empire arranged skilled workers to go to Germany as the backbone of production activities.

In order to ensure that the bombers had enough ammunition to use, the Tang Empire would assist Germany in building two production lines for incendiary bombs. The first skilled workers were trained for it, and before that, Germany would hire skilled workers from the Tang Empire to keep the production line running. And the technology for the production of incendiary bombs (an improved model, better than the incendiary bombs used in the early days of the bombing of Japan) was to be provided by the Tang Empire free of charge. The main raw material (oil) needed was supplied to Germany by the Persian Empire in accordance with the German-Polish agreement.

In order to accelerate the training of Germany's own pilots, the Don Empire was to send military advisers.

An aviation academy was established in Germany to train pilots of heavy bombers, as well as crew members. In addition, Germany will send three groups of pilots to the Tang Empire for training, so as to gradually replace the pilots of the Tang Empire who served in Germany.

In addition to the Tang-German and Tang-Polish agreements, Germany also had a package agreement with the Persian Empire, the key of which was the Persian Empire's provision of strategic resources, especially oil, to Germany.

Seventy percent of the oil produced by the Persian Empire was shipped abroad, of which about forty percent went to the Tang Empire, two percent to Germany, and another ten percent to other Central Powers. At that time, the Gulf region of the Persian Empire was the largest oil-producing region in the entire world (and still is), the most oil-rich region, and the easiest to exploit. It can be said that, to a large extent, the position of the Persian Empire in the alliance was brought about by oil. At that time, neither the Tang Empire nor Germany were the main oil producers (in addition to the Persian Empire, the United States and Russia were the other two major oil producers), and both needed to import large quantities of oil in peacetime, and even more so in wartime. As a result, the oil of the Persian Empire was of vital importance to both the Tang Empire and Germany, but before that, most of the oil was shipped to the Tang Empire, not Germany.

In the new agreement, because the Tang Empire had expanded the exploitation of oil fields in the South Seas, Germany demanded more oil resources from the Persian Empire. After consulting with the Tang Empire, the Persian Empire revised the oil export quota, in which the oil exported to Germany would account for 30% of the Persian Empire's oil production, and the oil exported to the Tang Empire would be 30% and 5%. In other words, Germany can get about 12 million tons of more crude oil from the Persian Empire every year, which will ensure that the German army has enough fuel to use.

In the end, the three countries reached a tripartite package agreement, in which the tasks of the three countries were not clearly demarcated, but in fact the status of the three countries was stated.

The Tang Empire would be the most important industrial power in the Triple Alliance, and its main obligation was to provide weapons and equipment to other Central Powers in the form of loans or free gifts. The Persian Empire was the main energy exporter of the Triple Alliance, and its main task was to supply other countries with oil, as well as refined oil products (the Persian Empire's chemical industry, especially the oil refining industry, was very developed).

Germany, on the other hand, will mainly shoulder the heavy responsibility of the ground war, not only will bear more pressure on the battlefield in Western Europe, but will also take on the main responsibility on the continental battlefield by attacking the eastern front, opening up the southern front and even sending troops to North Africa after the situation on the western European battlefield has stabilized.

On the 27th, after the Persian Emperor held a send-off banquet for the Tang and German generals, Tan Renhao followed Gan Yongxing back to China.

"And what do we get?" On the plane back to China, Tan Renhao finally couldn't help but ask Gan Yongxing. "We have paid so much, even sent more than 200,000 expeditionary forces to the Western European theater, provided Germany with a large number of combat aircraft, and even let our pilots fight in the European theater, so what did we get? Reduced oil imports, or a promise from Germany? ”

"You think we're at a loss?" Gan Yongxing laughed.

"Chief of Staff, I'm not an internationalist. Regardless of whether Germany is our ally or not, we should have some benefit after paying such a huge price, but the question is, what do we gain? Tan Renhao didn't mean to laugh, "It's like a deal, we first pay generously, and as a result, we are likely to suffer dumb losses." ”

"Then you're doubting the Prime Minister's wisdom?"

"I didn't say that, I always felt a little wrong. According to the Chancellor's diplomatic guidelines, it is impossible for us to export so much military power to Germany without adequate returns. So what do we get? ”

"Actually, we've got what we need."

"What do you mean?" Tan Renhao frowned slightly, and looked at Gan Yongxing with a little disbelief.

"It doesn't matter whether Germany will invest heavily in the Eastern Front or whether it will open up the Southern Front, the important thing is that we have obtained what we need."

"What's that?"

Gan Yongxing laughed mysteriously. "I don't know about this, but the Prime Minister personally arranged for the special envoy to go to Berlin to consult with the German Prime Minister. I only believe that the Prime Minister will not make a loss-making business, so we will definitely get a lot after giving so much. Perhaps, we may not be able to see it on the surface, but in reality, we are getting much more affirmation than we give. ”

Tan Renhao smiled and shook his head, he didn't ask any more, anyway, he couldn't ask anything famous.

"The plane will arrive in Songjiang in two hours, you go and change into a dress."

"What are you doing in Matsue?"

"You don't want to miss your sister's wedding, do you?"

Tan Renhao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was already the twenty-eighth day, and today happened to be the day of great joy for Hao Dongjue and Tan Qinglian.
