Chapter 67: The Voice of Shanghai

After Jiang Yunshan led people to count the warehouses in Lama Mountain, he even had the idea of shooting Liu Laohei, in Jiang Yunshan's words, that guy was too loser. It turned out that Jiang Yunshan found a large number of military equipment in the warehouse on Lama Mountain, although there were not many guns and bullets, but there were a lot of heavy firepower to the infantry such as mortars and grenadiers. As soon as these heavy firepower equipment returned to the mountain, they were thrown into the warehouse by Liu Laohei and were not maintained, resulting in several mortars that were already rusty and obviously no longer usable.

The most unforgivable thing for Jiang Yunshan was that four new radio stations were found in the corner of the warehouse, and the bandits didn't know what they were, so they threw them in the corner of the warehouse and piled them up with some scrapped guns. Jiang Yunshan saw with his own eyes that one of the radio stations was "killed" on these broken copper and iron.

After cleaning up the warehouse on Lama Mountain, Jiang Yunshan withdrew from the Lama Mountain area with Liu Laohei and others, and reported the details of the battle to the brigade headquarters. This battle also has some experiences of its own, the most profound of which is "uneducated, it's terrible!" ”

According to the regulations of the military region, after the prisoners return to the unit on their own, they must be sent to the headquarters for examination. Therefore, as soon as Wang Yunqiang and others returned to the army, they received a notice to go to the military region for examination, accompanied by several other captured personnel who were willing to stay in the Eighth Route Army.

Since Qian Zhuangfei was not there, and other people had no experience in this kind of task of reviewing the return of prisoners of war, Han Yunhua temporarily left Wang Yunqiang, Jiang Xueyin and others in Jining City, and temporarily did not let these people contact people outside, and waited for Qian Zhuangfei to come back and deal with it.

On 1 May, Qian Zhuangfei sent a telegram in top-secret code saying that they had arrived in Shanghai and had found several arms dealers, but only a German arms company met the requirements. Moreover, the German fire company has hoarded a large amount of arms in Shanghai, but has never found a buyer. But when Qian Zhuangfei and others came to the door and offered to buy arms, this person was named Richie. Perling's guy actually refused Qian Zhuangfei's request because he didn't want to cause a misunderstanding between Yuben and Germany.

Han Yunhua knew that as early as November 25, 1936, Germany and the two countries signed the "International Agreement on Industry" and established a political alliance; When Germany and the two countries signed the "International Agreement on Industry," it contained a secret annex directed against the Soviet Union. Anti-Soviet is not only a smokescreen for them to stabilize the West, but also one of their original purposes; It's just that the coalition at that time was still limited to the political sphere.

However, Han Yunhua knew that just this year, Germany and the two countries were interested in concluding a military alliance. But historically, when the two countries were preparing to conclude a further military alliance, they diverged on a number of issues, especially on policy towards the Soviet Union. Germany proposed the conclusion of a treaty of military alliance against both the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States, and provided for the immediate military assistance of the other parties in the event that one of the contracting parties was involved in the war. He was worried that the conclusion of a broad and close alliance would deprive him of diplomatic room for maneuver, and that if the main force of the army was trapped in the Chinese battlefield, too many enemies would only put him in a more unfavorable strategic situation, and the fact was that he did not have the strength to completely and completely annihilate China in a short period of time, and the main force of the army was dragged into the quagmire of the Chinese war. Therefore, it is said that the treaty of alliance is only against the Soviet Union, and does not include Britain and the United States; The High Contracting Parties are not obliged to "voluntarily enter the war", and whether or not they want to enter the war is subject to "consultation and decision". He hoped that Germany would cooperate with his "northward expansion" plan, which was contrary to Germany's intention to use the Czech Republic and Poland to contain Britain and the United States.

Later, although Hitler made certain concessions and agreed to "decide whether or not to enter the war through consultation," he still insisted on his position and did not give an inch, thus bringing the negotiations to a deadlock. Due to the imminent date of Germany's attack on Poland and the delay in the Triple Alliance, Germany had to secretly negotiate with the Soviet Union to isolate Poland behind its back, and finally signed the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact on August 23, 1939. This violated the secret agreement with Yue Ben in the "International Agreement on Industry", which caused Yu Ben's "northward advance" plan to lose foreign aid, coupled with the defeat of the Syrian side in the Sunomenkan conflict, and lost a large number of elite troops, making the realization of the "northward advance" plan even more slim. As a result, the Cabinet had to issue a "complicated and bizarre" statement, which was used as a reason for his resignation, which he called a serious betrayal by Germany.

Although Germany and Italy later signed the "Treaty of Alliance" in Berlin, establishing a military alliance. Subsequently, the three fascists accelerated the pace of foreign expansion. On the surface, the fascist forces around the world have strengthened their unity; In fact, their alliance was not as strong as it was called steel, and the three countries had their own evil intentions, especially between Germany and Germany. The root cause was the contradictory strategies of conquest between the two countries (not the German-Israeli racial estrangement caused by Hitler's doctrine of Aryan national superiority); The different attitudes towards China and the Soviet Union were one of its main manifestations; The détente is due to the adjustment of the foreign policies of both sides; The effect is that military alliances exist in name only, and they cannot play their due role.

Despite this, in the "International Agreement on Industry" signed by Germany and the two countries, Germany could not provide any military assistance to China's political axe and other party and government organizations, which also led to the complete failure of Chiang Kai-shek's original plan to replace 40 German armoury divisions, and the only German armoury divisions in the real sense were the 3rd Division, 6th Division, 9th Division, 14th Division, 36th Division, 87th Division, 88th Division, and the Teaching Corps, which was also the main reason why the German advisers who had been guiding China in military reform suddenly withdrew.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the German [***] arms dealer does not sell to Qian Zhuangfei arms, but Han Yunhua understands better that the main reason why the German [***] arms dealer does not sell to Qian Zhuangfei arms is that he wants to take the opportunity to raise the price and seek huge profits. If he didn't sell these arms to the Chinese, then what did he do when he sent so many guns and bullets, did he want to sell them to Yue himself?

Moreover, Han Yunhua understood better that during World War II, Germany and Ben lacked sufficient common interests, coupled with the aggressive nature of the war launched by the two countries, so the military alliance between Germany and Japan was actually ineffective in World War II. In the war, Germany and the two countries regarded this alliance only as a tool to deter their respective enemies, and the two sides took advantage of each other to do their own thing. Otherwise, under the attack of the east and the west, will the Soviet Union still be able to support the victory in World War II?

It is said that there was a great chance of attacking the Soviet Union, but you must know that at that time, the training of the Soviet native soldiers was poor and the troops were seriously scattered, and the most important thing was that after Stalin's purge, there were very few veterans and old commanders left in the Soviet Union, and basically all the officers above the division level had been killed, and the newly promoted officers lacked combat experience, and it was difficult for the front line to be replenished with troops and resources, and perhaps Moscow could be taken before winter. Moreover, if Ben did not invade China according to Germany's plan and attacked the Soviet Union based on Manchuria, the Soviet Union would have finished playing a matter of time and would not have had a problem at all in taking the Asian part of the Soviet Union.

Many people, including some members of the party, are biased in putting Germany on the opposing front. In fact, at least in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, we should not put Germany on the opposite side, at least Han Yunhua didn't think so. First of all, we must know that Hitler was against the invasion of China, and his strategic intention at that time was to attack the Soviet Union with the Soviet Union, but as a result, he himself was staring at China, after all, people have been thinking about it for decades. In the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, China's aid mainly came from Germany, and the wartime command at that time was also sent by Germany, and when Germany attacked the Soviet Union later, the Kwantung Army still stood still, otherwise the situation on the German Eastern Front would not be so bad.

After analyzing the intentions of the De [***] Fire Merchant, Han Yunhua instructed Qian Zhuangfei to properly dry that Richie. Perling, by the way, Qian Zhuangfei can also properly stimulate this hateful German Yankee, for example, to have a meal with Czech arms dealers or American arms dealers at the right time and place.

Sure enough, three days later, Qian Zhuangfei sent a telegram saying that Richie. Perling was willing to sell them all the arms in his hand, but the price was relatively high, almost 15% higher than the low price of the small British arms companies. But Qian Zhuangfei has been to Richie. Perin's warehouse, the arms inside are all very advanced arms.

This time Richie. The arms that Perin was going to sell to Qian Zhuangfei included 5,400 Mauser 98K semi-automatic rifles, 500 Luger 08 pistols, 250 MG34 machine guns, 250 Mauser Kabine 98K sniper rifles, 300 MP40 submachine guns, and 14.5 million rounds of various bullets, with a total value of more than 2.8 million silver dollars.

After reading the list of this transaction, Han Yunhua suddenly realized that the German Nazis wanted to use him as an experimental specimen, and wanted to test the surname of Germany's weapons and equipment in actual combat, otherwise such a large batch of arms would be worth at least more than 3.5 million silver dollars.

After figuring out these questions, Han Yunhua immediately sent a report to Qian Zhuangfei and asked him to give it to Richie. Perrin sent 100,000 oceans and asked him to help buy 10,000 Mauser Carbin 98K rifles, 2,000 Czech ZB26 light machine guns, 500 Maxine heavy machine guns, and 50 million rounds of ammunition from Europe in the name of the German state. And tell Richie. Perlin, as long as this matter is done, the Inner Mongolia Military Region will also give him an unexpected gift, ensuring that he can enjoy glory and wealth even after losing the protection of Germany.
