Chapter 528 Forced Buying and Selling, Wilhelm II was pitted and cried

There are no eternal allies between nations, only eternal interests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Li Weiguo discovered that the German Empire was showing signs of crushing Britain, France, and Russia on the European battlefield, he immediately decided to start pitting Germany in order to weaken the German army and balance the military forces of both sides in the European war.

Berlin, Wilhelm II looked at the battle reports on the front line, the German Army has captured Paris, the German Navy's high seas fleet and the British Royal Navy's home fleet have clashed several times, the German Navy has taken advantage of some advantages, a few small victories, what a majesty, the elimination of France is no longer a dream, it will soon be realized, when the German Empire will unify the European continent, and then defeat the British Royal Navy, the German High Seas Fleet will go out of the Baltic Sea, enter the Atlantic, and enter the world in the future, to achieve the great rise of the German Empire, Dominate the world.

However, at this moment, Bismarck came to the audience and poured cold water on Wilhelm II.

"Your Majesty, we have just received the rule of the Imperial Chinese Embassy in Berlin, and the Imperial Chinese military has asked us to purchase at least three thousand T23 tanks and three thousand F15 fighters at one time, otherwise they will no longer be exported to us."

Burst!

Wilhelm II, who was sipping Chinese tea, was instantly stunned by the two figures of 3,000 T23 tanks and 3,000 F15 fighters.

"What? Want us to buy 3,000 T23 tanks and 3,000 F15 fighters at once? ”

Previously, Germany had purchased 500 T23A1 tanks from the Chinese Empire, spending 40 million yuan, and Wilhelm II was distressed at that time, but fortunately, the T23 tanks performed well in the European theater, at least allowing the German army to break through the Verdun Line and break the stalemate on the Western Front.

Subsequently, the German army purchased 200 F15A fighters from the Chinese Empire, each costing 32,000 yuan, plus ammunition, supporting expenses, and personnel training costs, a total of 23 million yuan.

At that time, after the plane was transported back to Berlin, Wilhelm II also happily visited it in person, but after asking what materials were made, his face immediately darkened.

An F15A fighter is a pile of wood, cotton, piano wire, the only valuable thing is an engine and an air-cooled Thunderbolt heavy machine gun, and the shooting synchronizer on the F15 fighter used by the Imperial Chinese Air Force was castrated before it was exported to Germany.

The unit price of this pile of broken things is as high as 32,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 640,000 German marks, while the aircraft made by Germany itself is only 20,000 German marks, which is 1,000 yuan when converted into RMB.

This Nima has a full 32 times the price difference in the middle, do you want to be so pitted?

When Wilhelm II heard this, he vomited blood and was depressed for n days.

If it weren't for the timely dispatch of F15A fighters by the Germans in the attack on Paris and their brilliant victory, I am afraid that Wilhelm II would have immediately broken off diplomatic relations with the Chinese Empire.

Now, the Chinese Empire insists that Germany buy 3,000 T23 tanks and 3,000 F15A fighters at one time, otherwise it will stop exporting.

Three thousand tanks and three thousand fighters!

How much silver does this Nima cost?

Wilhelm II's flesh ached at the thought, and he looked at Bismarck and asked for advice.

Bismarck, who had gray hair, understood Wilhelm II's mood at the moment, and said: "This time, the Chinese Empire promised to export to us is 3,000 T23 main battle tanks for the Chinese Imperial Army's own use, and the performance exceeds the T23A1 tanks exported to us before. The F15 fighter jets exported to us are also models for the own use of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, which are much more advanced than the F15A models exported to us before. ”

Wilhelm II felt that he had been humiliated by the Chinese Empire, and he said angrily: "The Chinese Empire is so shameless that it actually exported to us the castrated version of tanks and fighters, which is clearly to defend us and is not in line with the spirit of allies!" ”

Bismarck smiled helplessly, he wanted to say that allies were used to sell, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Your Majesty, there are no true friends between nations, only eternal interests! The Chinese Empire is guarding us, and we are also guarding against the Chinese Empire. Now that the Chinese Empire has basically defeated the United States, the next one will be Britain's turn, once Britain is defeated, the only one in the whole world who can compete with the Chinese Empire is our German Empire, the Chinese Empire Emperor Li Weiguo is a wise and martial emperor, he can't be unaware of this, so after the end of this world war, the next war is probably the Chinese Empire and our German Empire. ”

Wilhelm II immediately calmed down and asked rhetorically: "What you say makes sense, then you mean that we are going to buy these tanks and fighters?" ”

Bismarck nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty!" We have to buy it, just in time to increase the military power of the empire, and sweep Europe in one fell swoop! ”

Sweep across Europe!

Wilhelm II naturally liked to hear this, but he still asked unhappily: "But, didn't you say that the defense industry of the empire can't be pinned on imports?" Earlier, I said that I would buy 1,000 T23 tanks, but you objected, saying that you only need to buy 500 tanks, and we will copy and produce the rest ourselves. The same was true when you bought F15 fighter jets last time, you also said the same, you can't hand over the lifeblood of the defense industry to the Chinese Empire, but now why do you want me to agree to buy this batch of equipment? ”

Bismarck said with a bitter face: "The situation is just different! The Imperial Chinese military has made it clear that if we refuse to buy T23 tanks and F15 fighters from the Chinese Empire on our own, it will affect the alliance between China and Germany. ”

Wilhelm II frowned suddenly, he guessed the intention of the Chinese Empire, and forced the German Empire to buy so many tanks and fighters at once, in order to block the road of self-development and production of the German military industry. Because once the German military buys 3,000 T23 tanks and 3,000 F15 fighters, there is no need for other tanks and fighters in a short period of time, then it is impossible for those arms dealers in Germany to invest money and energy in the development of tanks and aircraft, because even if they are developed, the German military will not be able to procure them.

"How much does it cost?"

Bismarck pondered for a moment, and cautiously said to Wilhelm II: "Tanks, airplanes, and related supporting facilities, a total of 2.7 billion gold marks!" ”

"What? 27 gold marks? ”

Wilhelm II suddenly stood up and said with an angry expression: "You go and tell them, let them just go and rob the Reich Bank!" I don't have money for them! ”

Since the outbreak of the World War, the German Empire has spent so much on its military that it has almost emptied its treasury.

You must know that it is only 1896, the historical German Empire was unified in 1870, and the world war only started in 1914, with 44 years of development in between, accumulating a lot of wealth, but by 1918 it had collapsed economically.

Today's German Empire has only gone through more than 20 years of development, and the accumulated wealth is not as much as in history, but the early arms race, instigated by the Chinese Empire, just a German high seas fleet is far more powerful than the naval power of Germany in 1916, which means that more wealth is consumed.

Therefore, although the military strength of the German Empire today far exceeds the level of the peak of World War I in history, its financial strength is far less than the level of World War I.

To describe it in four words, it is reckless and stimulated by the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, if the historical German Empire was able to hold out from July 18, 1914 to November 11, 1918, then the financial capacity of the German Empire today can at most last from September 18, 1895 to the summer of 1897.

At this time, in the treasury of the German Empire, the gold reserves were greatly reduced, and the exchange of gold and marks had been banned in China, and all the gold was used to pay for international exchange business, and the big customer of exchange was the Chinese Empire.

Due to the war, the German Empire fought on the eastern and western fronts, and had suffered 1.01 million casualties, which was far less than the 1.7 million casualties of the Entente, and a large part of the reason was that the wounded soldiers of the German army could be treated with special medicine, and the mortality rate was very low.

However, the German Empire was also very sad, because the prices of these special drugs they imported from the Chinese Empire were not cheap, and most of the gold stored by the German Imperial Bank was given to the Chinese Empire as the cost of purchasing a large number of special drugs.

Today's German finances are very difficult, and it also has to rely on the printing press to keep the mark depreciating to solve the financial and military spending.

Under these circumstances, the payment of another 2,700,000,000,000,000 gold marks, equivalent to 300,000,000,000 yuan in foreign exchange, would have caused an even greater burden on the finances of the German Empire.

But what hurt Wilhelm II the most was that he was pitted by the Chinese Empire, the T23 tank and an F15 fighter were manufactured in Germany, and the cost could be controlled, but the price difference between imports from the Chinese Empire was more than 30 times.

That's more than 30 times the difference!

How aggrieved do you have to be to make the same kind of deal?

Wilhelm II thought he couldn't do it, so he kicked the ball to Bismarck.

Bismarck shook his head helplessly and said, "Let the old minister be this villain!" Anyway, the old minister won't live long! ”

Wilhelm II turned around and waved his hand.

At this moment, Wilhelm II felt guilty in his heart, and for the first time felt that Bismarck was not so annoying.

However, Wilhelm II took aim at the Chinese Empire, and from then on he did not regard the Chinese Empire as an ally, and he vowed that if the German Empire controlled all of Europe, the next goal was to defeat the Chinese Empire.

"Li Weiguo, don't be too happy, it will soon be the turn of the showdown between the two of us, I hope you won't regret it by then!"

The German military, at Bismarck's behest, agreed to the deal with the Chinese Empire. And Bismarck also became a sinner who strangled the indigenous German tank industry and aircraft industry, and was reviled and reviled.

Wilhelm II then stepped forward, deposed Bismarck, and placed orders with several major German arms companies to develop a German tank that surpassed the T23 and a German fighter that surpassed the F15

For a time, Wilhelm II's prestige increased, and he was loved by Junker arms dealers.

Bismarck's body really failed, he was able to survive to this day, thanks to the special medicine of the Chinese Empire, a week later, Bismarck was admitted to the hospital, Wilhelm came to see him once, the two whispered for two hours, and then Wilhelm left, never to see Bismarck again.

However, Bismarck was always accompanied by a 15-year-old boy.

"Hitla, do you think we will win this world war in the end?"

The boy named Hitra peeled a banana and gave it to Bismarck, and then said very calmly: "We will win, but not the biggest winner!" ”

Bismarck looked at Hitra and asked, "Why?" Who is the biggest winner? ”

Hitra still had a calm expression and replied without hesitation: "The Chinese Empire is the only winner!" In fact, our German Empire is also a loser, because we Westerners have completely internal friction in this world war, Britain, France, the United States and Russia have all collapsed, and we have been seriously weakened, and the Chinese Empire will become even stronger, so strong that our entire Western world power combined is not their opponent. ”

Bismarck was very surprised, he met this young man by chance, but as an old fritter, Bismarck knew very well that this Hitra was deliberately close to him, because the encounter between the two was secretly planned by Hitla.

It is hard to imagine that a fifteen-year-old child would have planned a chance encounter with the Chancellor of the German Empire, and that he was still in this hospital, and that this child had the prescient ability to be sure that he would be in this hospital?

Bismarck could not understand, but he knew that Hitler was a scheming teenager, and he was not at all like a fifteen-year-old boy, but more like an old fellow of seventy or eighty.

"I can't see it, you have such a thorough view of the world situation, if only you were born twenty years earlier!"

"It's not too late!" Hitra smiled mysteriously: "If you can accept me as a disciple, I will hold up the future sky of the German Empire!" ”

……

At the same time, Li Weiguo, who was far away in Chang'an, was busy digging the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

It is not difficult to find the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, after Li Weiguo issued the order, in less than half a month, he found the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

It's just that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is very huge, and the things in the various burial pits around it have shocked the entire Chinese nation, especially the Terracotta Warriors, which are on a grand scale, and it is difficult to imagine how powerful the Great Qin Empire was back then, and it is even more difficult to imagine that the Chinese people 2000 years ago had such advanced technology and could make the Terracotta Warriors and Horses vivid.

But that's not the point, the focus is on the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, which is a huge hill, and after investigation, there is a solid rock under the sealed soil, and the shape is similar to the Egyptian pyramids, I don't know if there is a connection between the two.

And Li Weiguo also knows some legends that the imperial tomb is watered with mercury, and once the tomb is forcibly opened, the imperial tomb will be directly destroyed.

Until 2,000 years later, the technology could not open the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, so how did the people of the Qin Dynasty build this Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang two thousand years ago?

Li Weiguo had more doubts in his heart, if Qin Shi Huang was also one of the traversers, then he must have come from a future world with more advanced technology.

Should it be forcibly opened or not? Will forcibly opening it ruin everything inside?

Li Weiguo hesitated for the first time. (To be continued.) )
