In the summer, he talked eloquently about Germany's weaknesses and strengths, as well as the direction of future development, and said that Hitler had a sense of openness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hitler then asked Xia about his views on the major powers in the international community, the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and France. Xia Chao also analyzed it for him separately.

He Fengshan was on the side, listening to Xia Chao's conversation, and was shocked. Xia Chao's understanding of the international community at this stage is much more refined than that of professional diplomats like them. Analysis and judgment are beyond his reach.

Hitler was very satisfied, and he had an important meeting in the afternoon, but he ordered him to go down, so he would not attend the afternoon meeting and continue to talk with Xia Chao.

Gustav was also very pleased with the summer dynasty, and he felt that he had recommended a good conversation partner for the Führer.

He Fengshan was a little anxious in his heart. Hitler invited the summer and the DPRK to lunch, and in the afternoon he was to talk with the summer and the DPRK alone. There is nothing to do with He Fengshan here. He was worried about the weapons, but they didn't talk about it at all.

He Fengshan couldn't help it. He said: "Honorable Führer, my government has asked me to ask, when will the remaining part of the weapons that your country has provided will be issued? ”

Xia Chao was very depressed, and said in his heart: "He Fengshan is really a nerd, and I don't know why Chairman Jiang chose him as his ambassador to Germany?" ”

Hitler was in high spirits at this time, and when He Fengshan asked him this, he was not happy, and he said: "Why did Germany give you weapons?" ”

He Fengshan was stunned, originally there was an agreement on this batch of weapons, and Hitler was going to pay the bill! He was afraid of angering Hitler, and did not dare to mention the agreement. He thought for a moment and said: "Our country is suffering from Japanese aggression and urgently needs these weapons. ”

Hitler said unhappily: "Over the years, have we Germany helped you less? ”

He Fengshan was speechless, Germany was the country that helped China the most at that time.

Hitler said: "If Germany and Japan have an agreement, should Germany turn its face for China and Japan?" ”

Xia Chao said: "Ambassador He, I think the Führer is right, Germany has no obligation to help China. Please don't embarrass the honorable Führer. ”

When Hitler heard Xia Chao say this, his face looked a little better.

He Fengshan couldn't believe his ears, what was Xia Chao doing? He stared at Xia Chao, eager to kill him with his gaze!

Xia Chao ignored him and said to Hitler with a smile: "Honorable Führer, please don't be angry. In my opinion, Germany is the country that has helped China the most in the world. The Führer has done his duty, and we cannot always ask Germany to help China, but we must first think of how to help Germany, which is the basis for exchanges between countries. ”

He Fengshan was depressed, and he said in his heart: "China is so backward, what can it exchange for Germany at the same price?" You're talking in the vernacular! ”

Hitler felt that Xia Chao was sensible and an understanding person. Look at him approvingly.

Xia Chao changed the conversation and said: "Honorable Führer, Ambassador He also has some truth in what he said, China really needs these weapons too much. You see, this is not going to work, we will exchange things. ”

Hitler was a little curious, he did not think that there was anything in China at the moment that could be exchanged. He said, "General Xia, you want to hear it?" ”

Xia Chao opened the leather bag he brought, took out a map of Germany, pointed to the places marked with red circles on the map, and said: "Germany's resources are actually not so scarce, and some of your resources are still very large, but you haven't found them." ”

Germany's underground resources are relatively poor, and most of the mineral deposits cannot meet the needs of industrial development.

Germany's main underground resources are hard coal and lignite, and it ranks fourth in the world in terms of total reserves and production, after China, the Russian Federation and the United States. The Ruhr region was once one of the world's largest hard coal mining regions, followed by the Saarland. Hard coal in the Ruhr area was the basis for German industrialization in the 19th century. Lignite is mainly produced in the Cottage of Ketbus, the Harz Mountains and the Lower Rhine region in eastern Germany.

Germany's oil resources are very scarce, and its reserves are far from meeting the needs of production, and it mainly relies on imports. A small amount of oil is concentrated in the North German Plain, mainly near Hanover.

Germany is extremely rich in potash reserves, which account for about 10% of the world's total production, mainly in Lower Saxony, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.

Among the non-ferrous metals, aluminum and zinc can meet 1/3 of the domestic demand, and most of the other non-ferrous metals, such as copper, tin, manganese, etc., rely on imports.

Pointing to a site in the Ruhr area, Xia Chao said: "Here, there is a coal mine with huge reserves, which is sufficient to meet the current industrial needs of Germany. ”

Hitler's eyes lit up when he was worried about energy, and he said: "Are you sure? ”

Xia Chao said affirmatively: "Sure." Moreover, the coal seam is close to the surface of the earth, making it easy to mine. Then he said some specific data.

Hitler was delighted and said, "I'll send someone to verify it." Immediately, he asked, somewhat confused, "How do you know this?" ”

Xia Chao had already thought of his rhetoric, and he said: "You may not believe it, but I got these data from the Japanese, the Japanese are not small, they have sent spies all over the world, and the Japanese basically have mastered China's important mineral deposits." They also mastered a lot in Germany. If the Führer needs it, I will provide it to you. ”

When Hitler heard that the hand of the Japanese had reached into Germany, he was secretly angry. Xin said: "One day, I will destroy your little Japan." ”

He understood what Xia Chao meant, and he said, "Okay, if the information you provide is true, I can give you the weapons you want." ”

Then Hitler said: "Ambassador He, you can go back, and this afternoon, I will have a separate meeting with General Xia." ”

He Fengshan was very excited, he didn't care about Hitler's attitude, saluted him and retreated.

He Fengshan hurriedly returned to the embassy and sent a telegram to Chairman Chiang.

The Supreme Military Council of Nanjing.

He Yingqin, who was reporting to Chairman Chiang on the state of military production, said: "The situation is not optimistic, because at present not only is the consumption of ammunition very large, but also the loss of weapons is very alarming. Just to supply the front-line troops, it is very difficult. The new troops could not be satisfied. Many of the recruits were training with sticks. ”

Chairman Chiang's face was gloomy and he did not speak.

He Yingqin said: "If the summer dynasty can get weapons back from Germany, it will be easy to do. ”

Chairman Jiang said angrily: "He Fengshan is incompetent, and the summer dynasty is also incompetent, so he can't count on them."

At this moment, Wang Shihe pushed the door in and said excitedly: "Mr. Report, German telegraph." ”
