Chapter 196: Everywhere Controlled
1929 is destined to be a year to remember forever. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoIn this year, countless people go from great joy to great sorrow, and the bankrupt will climb the tall building and then jump into despair with despair......
"Leader, our long-awaited cargo has docked." Adolph. Hitler simply rushed into Rich's office with ecstasy, because the expression on his ecstatic face was distorted: "Three hundred tons!" That's 300 tons! It will be a strong thrust in our business! β
It was worth ecstasy, after all, it was three hundred tons of gold, but what Li Qi was thinking about was how to spend the gold in the shortest possible time, not which warehouse to throw it into and become a collectible.
It was still an era when Germany was able to spend money internationally, and when Germany began to expand its armaments, it would be difficult for anyone with money to buy anything from the foreign powers.
Germany needs a lot of things, especially in terms of raw materials, especially oil!
Until the start of the war, Germany's oil reserves could not be less than 20 million tons. 20 million tons can sustain the German tank for about three years, and three years will decide the fate of Germany, after which Litch should kill himself by swallowing a gun in the bunker, or become the head of the new era belonging to Germany.
"We need to spend our money wisely, and we need to spend it big." Richie looked very calm, and he said, "Adolf, the operation has officially begun. β
"Yes, Leader, it's time for the action to begin!" Adolph. Hitler, a man who was very prone to agitation and fanaticism, waved his arms: "We will buy the resources we need at the right time, infiltrate neighboring countries, and control over some countries!" β
Adolph. Hitler was qualified enough to know about Rich's plans for war, not only in terms of armaments, but also in terms of political aspects. He was most interested in how to unite Austria, as early as 1919 he had been thinking about integrating Austria into the German family.
Speaking of which, in Adolf. In Hitler's eyes, Richie was not only a prophetic figure, but also a great man destined to lead the Germanic people back to new heights and create a Germanic thousand-year empire.
Adolph. Hitler always felt very fortunate to be able to participate in an event that was destined to go down in history in a higher capacity. Of course, he didn't know that he was originally the writer of history, although the end was more tragic.
"Adolf, before the plan begins, your wedding with Eva ......" Richie smiled warmly: "Shouldn't it be held first?" β
"That's a very indifferent thing." Adolph. Hitler wanted to say something, but was stopped by Rich.
"You have the opportunity to give your life to the Germanic peoples first, but before that you need a complete family." Li Qi said very seriously: "I don't want the thousand-year-old empire we have created to have no blood relatives to look at it for us because there are no heirs." β
There is no need to remain single at all to attract women's votes, and that is just a measure when other areas can't do it. Richie has changed a lot of things, including economic regulation, playing the role of a savior, pulling back from the brink of a person who has almost slipped into hell.
With so much preparation, the National Socialist Workers' Party led by Li Qi had more options than it had when Mustache was in power, including communicating with the half-dead capitalists in Germany and facing oppression by the Junker military clique.
Li Qi basically has the initiative when facing the capital group or the military group, he can choose, there are countless choices, whoever does not cooperate will change the target, if you want to make trouble, don't blame the suppression of violent organs, and even reward a bullet or something.
"Leader, are we still importing most of our raw materials from South America as usual?" Worthher. Funk looked a little high-spirited, he now held the financial power of Germany, and he did have the qualifications to be ambitious, not to mention that the National Socialist Workers' Party still had a lot of money at its disposal: "Actually, Asia is also a direction for us. β
It is not the Far East, but the colonies of the European powers in Asia, such as the Dutch Asian colonies.
So far, the German capital group is still trapped in the mainland, and it is impossible to invest abroad, after all, the cake is so big, and the capital groups of the great powers themselves are not enough, how can the German capital group be involved?
Compared with another "time and space", Germany and the Netherlands have gone from friendship to coldness, and Litchie has always been building a good relationship with the Netherlands.
"Yes, there are oil fields on the Dutch side, and they are big oil fields, and we can get stable oil from the Netherlands." Of course, Litchie does not forget the other, more important: "And rubber, we will need a lot of rubber!" β
It seems that there are no resources that Germany does not lack? If it is to maintain civilian use, that is, several things need to be imported, but Litchie has not thought of keeping peace or anything, he will personally start the prelude to another world war, and then either go to glory or destruction.
The Dutch colonies in Asia are not small, and there are many places where oil is produced, among which Machen and Palembang produce the most oil. Because almost all the great powers had their own oil-producing colonies, the Dutch did not have a high demand for oil, and in fact most of the oil produced by the Dutch Asian colonies was sold to Japan.
"So?" Li Qi looked indifferent: "Japan needs oil, and we need it even more." β
Japan is now preparing for war, and their army and navy are restless, seeking new colonies beyond the Korean Peninsula, and have set their sights on the East Asian continent.
The German side had a large advisory and observation group in Japan, but it knew that Japan had the option of going north to the Russian Democratic Federation and attacking the European powers in the south, in addition to looking at the vast but chaotic country in the Far East.
The Russian Democratic Federation has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with Japan, and it is possible to obtain cheap raw material resources without using violent means, so as long as the Russian Democratic Federation continues to maintain friendship with Japan, it seems that the use of war means will become redundant?
The "northward faction" of the Japanese Army no longer has much of a market, and the "northward advance" is beginning to be selectively forgotten, after all, the Russian Democratic Federation is so good, and unnecessary wars still do not happen well.
If it is said that the purpose of aggression is to obtain resources, it seems that there is no need to start a war in Japan's current situation, but this island nation has always longed to be able to "set foot on the mainland", and all the acquisition of resources is to accumulate strength and fulfill the great ideal of "stepping on the mainland" of its ancestors for generations.
"Therefore, Japan will invade that country in the Far East, especially after the outbreak of the economic crisis, in order to release domestic pressure from the outside world, it will become inevitable for Japan to invade that country in the Far East." Li Qi still had some mood swings when he said this: "It is inevitable, what kind of attitude do you think Germany should adopt?" β
There is no doubt that Germany has a relatively close relationship with Japan at present, not to mention sending a large number of advisory groups and inspection missions, so in terms of cooperation in the joint development of warships and naval aircraft, Germany should stand on Japan's side no matter how you look at it. The problem is that there is cooperation between Germany and the countries of the Far East, but it is purely arms in exchange for resources, or basic industry in exchange for resources. (Well, the Harmony Divine Beast is not allowed to interfere too much, because the Heaven Party must appear and govern)
According to the actual feelings, Li Qi really wanted to do something, but he couldn't do it, knowing that Japan was already preparing to invade the Far East, he could only follow the "footprints of history" to sell arms, not too much to "do something".
"It's going to be a big deal, but it's just that we send a team to cooperate with Japan, and then accept the military advisers of that country in the Far East, is it appropriate?" Herman. GΓΆring is sometimes so simple: "Won't cause disputes? β
There will certainly be disputes, but Germany's acceptance of a government hire from a country in the Far East, and the presence of military advisers in the Far East, including the exchange of arms for resources, is a "normal" trade. Li Qi did not intend to give up the business of training German mechanics for the Artillery Party, even if a huge tungsten mine had been discovered in Austria, he still did not intend to give up obtaining resources from the Far East.
"In fact, it is England and France that should jump the most." Adolph. Hitler was very truthful: "Seeing that the British-backed Beiyang government is itself caught in a melee, and the Japanese-backed artillery party is preparing for the Northern Expedition, Britain will certainly be worried about the damage to its interests in the Yangtze River valley, that is, why Britain is becoming more and more combing Japan, and even falling into confrontation with Japan in some areas." β
France was concerned about things that were redundant, such as the French colony in Indochina, and then the safety of shipping routes across the Taiwan Strait. In fact, even if Japan invaded the Far East, it would start from the Northeast, and the warlords in the Northeast would be strange.
The warlords of the Northeast who evolved from horse thieves took the route of being close to Japan in the early stage, and their arms, including the army, were all on the Japanese route. There was a time when the warlords of the Northeast moved closer to the Russian Lao Maozi, but the collapse of the Lao Maozi forced them to move closer to Japan again.
"In other words, that Tohoku warlord is simply difficult to confront and cannot fight against the invading Japan?" Adolph. Hitler understood as soon as he heard it: "That's right, the government, including the army, has been infiltrated to the point that it is not desirable, and it is still difficult for the warlords in the northeast to protect themselves, so how can they hold on?" The 'Kannai', which was supposed to be the backing of the warlords in the northeast, fell into a scuffle again, and faced the crisis of the Northern Expedition, and they had no allies. β
It is also worth mentioning that the actual leader of the warlords in the Northeast, Mr. Zhang Zuolin, was killed on June 4, 1928 while riding a train to Huanggutun. Now, the leader of the Northeast warlords is Zhang Zuolin's son, that is, Zhang Shaoshuai, who is addicted to drugs and can't control his uncle at all.
"According to the information we have, the heir of that marshal, that is, Zhang Shaoshuai, is not doing nothing. In October 1928, they also purchased a large quantity of munitions from us, including 200 Krupp guns, 50,000 Mauser 98K rifles of very high quality, and a number of shells and bullets. There are also airplanes, tanks...... "Gustav. Stresemann is the foreign minister, and that's what he should know. "The arms imported from our side alone are enough for this warlord to arm at least four infantry divisions, and also to form a wing of air force and three battalions of armored troops," he said. β
Gustav. What Stresemann said is true, if you just look at the arms, Major Marshal Zhang can arm those troops, but ...... After Zhang Shaoshuai bought the arms back, it seems that he chose to put them in the warehouse, rather than take them out to arm the soldiers.
Germany could not interfere too much in foreign affairs, and the concern about the situation in the Far East was only a necessity. As soon as Germany is unable to obtain precious metals and rare earths from the Far East, it is time to find new sources of access.
"On the side of the Russian Democratic Federation...... Our share is too small. "Gustav. Stresemann was not so pleasant: "In some ways, Japan has become our competitor rather than a partner. β
It is quite correct to say that the regions or countries that Germany wants to obtain resources are basically competing for shares in Japan, and that is also because the two countries have limited access to resources.
Most of the regions are now under the control of the Great Powers, the so-called colonies. Since it is a colony belonging to the great powers, the resources produced are, of course, given priority to the enterprises of their own country, and wait for the spillover before it is the turn of foreign countries. At the same time, the Great Powers had been controlling the quantity of goods sold to Germany, and they were stuck with a very strict value, especially in France.
"We judged that in 1931, Japan would have taken action against that Tohoku warlord." Kurt. Zeitzler was the chief of staff of the National Socialist Workers' Party, and was responsible for some military judgments: "If we had interfered in nothing, the trade routes in the northeast would have been cut off, and we would have to seek other places to make amends." β
"It's ridiculous that our potential allies are squeezing our space for war." It can be seen that Adolf. Hitler really didn't like Japan: "If it weren't for the ......" whispered a few words that no one could understand, and then continued: "Then the topic came back again, oil and rubber on the Dutch side, and then non-ferrous metals and rubber in South America?" β
The current mainstream rubber production area is really in South America, not the South Seas. What Germany needs to worry about is what kind of change in attitude in the United States will be caused by another extension of its hand to South America. (To be continued.) )
