Chapter 175: Even if it's a pit, you have to jump

What do you say about Japan? There are some places that are really respectable, for example, they were able to complete the transformation from agriculture to industry in only one or two decades, and then quickly ate the industrial technology they learned from other countries, digested and integrated into their own system. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It's a very dynamic country, and they have probably the best ruling people in the world." Paul. Joseph. Goebbels was very emotional: "It was a country where all the people tightened their belts and donated money and materials to develop industry. It is not surprising that such a country has risen in such a short period of time. ”

"That's because there are no powerful countries around Japan, and they earned their first pot of gold from the Qing State." Keynes. Valen looked serious: "Their luck is too good, they met an old and decaying country. In other words, any country can have an unimaginable war reparations because of the victory in the war......"

It seems like...... That's how Germany rose! In the Franco-Prussian War, Germany received astronomical war reparations from France, which directly made Germany develop into the world's second industrial power.

To put it mildly, France is really remarkable, after decades of losing the war reparations, the country's strength can still increase, and the economy will not lose to the great powers at all, which makes countless people wonder if the country's lending is really profitable. And then...... Tsarist Russia collapsed, Soviet Russia came to power and refused to recognize the loan, France was stunned, and the whole world laughed.

"Is the whole country hard-working?" Li Qi's face was dull: "It is indeed a country that bears hardships and stands hard work!" ”

Litch was hostile to Japan, but he could not do what he wanted, which is why he studied German-Japanese cooperation projects.

The honeymoon period between Japan and Britain is over, and they want to draw closer to the United States, but the United States seems to be a little unhappy with them.

Japan is not the one that is arrogant enough to challenge the whole world, but a cabinet that can see the world situation clearly and understand its own shortcomings.

After the Kato cabinet maintained a line with Britain and the United States, they deeply knew that Japan needed to have another channel to obtain technology, and handed the olive branch to the United States, but the United States believed that there could only be one absolute hegemon in the Pacific Ocean in the future, and obviously did not want to support Japan in technology, but could do some business.

The Japanese cabinet was in contact with almost the whole world, and they needed to obtain the technology that Japan lacked from abroad to complete the entire system of industrialization...... That is, Germany.

Germany was once the world's second largest industrial power, especially in the smelting and chemistry of some metals. After the defeat of the war, Germany was very restricted, and for economic reasons it stagnated in some areas of scientific research, but a considerable amount of technology was still not available in other countries.

"They want to get armor steel and a lot of chemical element lists." Gustav. Stresemann frowned deeply: "What an incredible meeting, they didn't turn around the corner and directly made their own request." ”

There are many types of armor steel, and the armor steel produced by various formulas is ...... in hardness, density, weight, heat resistance, etc. And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth, and so on. This is a big project, and without enough accumulation, it is definitely not something that a certain country can figure out in three or five years, what is it that gives the Japanese representative such a strong confidence to propose such a non-cent deal?

Speaking of chemistry, there are more aspects involved, and it can even be said that it is many times more complex than armor steel. Chemistry is the foundation of any science, and the table of elements is not a rotten thing. Anyone who knows chemistry understands that chemistry is everywhere, and that whether it's researching or making anything, leaving it is tantamount to losing its foundation.

"They said they could give money, in cash, in pounds or dollars." Gustav. Stresemann held back his anger: "Maybe those Oriental monkeys don't understand that some technologies can't be bought with money. ”

How angry should it be for a country's foreign minister to explode in a formal setting?

Does Japan really not understand what it costs to buy those two things? Maybe the Japanese really don't understand, or they won't be like a complete stupid ~ force, pay back the pound or the dollar, they can take out hundreds of millions or even billions of pounds to buy the whole set of materials? Then do you know how much paper should be made of the materials, and how many ships should be used to carry those materials?

To tell the truth, if you use paper to store data, you need a complete steel formula and element composition, plus a chemical element table, which is used to form your own steel industry system and chemical system, and hundreds of thousands of tons of paper may not be enough to carry the information composed of words and patterns. Then, if you want to sort out those materials, you definitely can't do it in one or two years.

So, if you want to buy the whole set of materials, is it funny, or is it a brain disease!?

"It's a signal." Paul. Joseph. Goebbels said: "A sign of long-term cooperation. ”

Gustav. Strezemann was visibly stunned, and he was silent for a long time, saying only the word "maybe".

Li Qi also understands that Japan is sending a signal, a stepping stone to get closer to each other and obtain a series of cooperation. He obtained some information from the intelligence organization in Italy, and Japan also attacked Italy, and it seems that the movement is much greater than in Germany, because Italy is a war country, and it is not like to cooperate with Germany to do anything.

Then again, Italy is a half-farmer and half-worker...... In countries where the industrial power of Europe is not much stronger than that of some small countries, can they hook up with Japan?

Among the information known to Richie, the fascist leader Benito . Mussolini and the visiting Konoe Fumiro got along very well, and the two had a very pleasant conversation in public on many occasions. Mussolini was very committed to being able to take over the British's role as a "pick-up man" and establish friendly relations with Japan.

The question is, what kind of technical support can Italy give to Japan? Teach Japan how to develop agriculture in mountainous areas? Or will you cooperate with Japan in the field of aviation?

"We can talk slowly with Japan and at least get some goodwill cooperation." Li Qi still knows that some scientific research in Japan has its own unique developments, such as aviation and navigation, which are worthy of reference for Germany. "Maybe," he said...... It would be good to help domestic shipbuilding companies find some business. ”

Japan is building its own "88 Fleet," and it seems that it has not yet taken shape after some years. Li Qi is very optimistic about Japan's development of the navy, and he is also concerned about Japan's excellent naval warfare in the future.

[Carrying out shipbuilding cooperation with Japan, even if it suffers a little loss, as long as it can accumulate experience, it will still have an unimaginable effect on the development of Germany's fleet in the future. 】

Li Qi still really admired Japan's madness, the development of the army, the development of the navy, and then played himself to death.

Of course, in addition to playing itself to death, the development direction of the Japanese Navy can really be used as a reference, learn how to build its own large fleet with limited resources, and there are definitely things worth learning in naval warfare, such as ultra-long-range navigation and horizontal precision bombing, and then there is torpedo research.

According to the current trend of world development, the old powers are maintaining their apparent strength, and some countries will certainly be dissatisfied with the distribution of interests in the old order, and with the revenge of Germany, the possibility of another war breaking out is not a matter of probability, but 100 percent.

In fact, Li Qi really didn't want to do what he did in the old history, such as getting closer to Italy and Japan, but he pondered many times in the dead of night, if Germany did not move closer to Italy and Japan, then to whom?

Come to think of it, there is a lot of times when there is a deep sense of powerlessness that Germany will definitely start another war, and whoever is the leader can only obey the will of the people, and the will of the German state is revenge. Li Qi was always preparing for war, but he was always afraid of the outbreak of war, all because Germany had no friends......

France got along with Britain very unhappily during the First World War, but if the war broke out again, France and Britain became good buddies in life and death every minute, then there was no dime to do with any emotion, everything was because the situation required it.

At present, France has begun to distort its "development line", and they are discussing the construction of an impassable defense line, a defense line that cannot be breached. There is a relevant public opinion that says that as long as the defense line is built, France will always ...... the enemy That is, the German army was blocked from the land outside the country.

That is, the French, without any surprises, went into the pit of "defense supremacy", having won the war with a defensive war in the last war, taking it for granted that the side that was on the defensives after the outbreak of the war was in an advantageous position.

Litchie was very concerned about the construction of the French defensive line, and he was concerned about whether the construction of the defensive line would count towards the Belgian border.

It is important to know that in the history that has not been changed, although France and Britain are still filthy in the First World War, they are really not that big. In this changed history, France and Britain were extremely ugly, and the two sides were even on the same page for a time, and Belgium, which had always followed in the footsteps of Britain, was also affected.

From one point, Li Qi can see that France's diplomatic relations with Belgium have changed, and in the history that has not been changed, France will pull Belgium in whatever it does. However, as history changed, France was unhappy with Britain, and even Belgium, Britain's loyal brother, also changed, and although France and Belgium had some cooperation after the war, the pace was not so consistent, as can be seen from the march into the Ruhr area.

If because of the change in history, France no longer considers Belgium's feelings when building a defensive line, and builds a defensive line to repair the Belgian border, it will not only make Litchie cry, but history will also change after the outbreak of war again.

Is it appropriate to bring Germany and France together? If you look at the twenty-first century, maybe it's really appropriate. Can...... Now that the 21 st century is still far away, France has not been deeply wounded by Britain and the United States, and there is no possibility for the two countries to stand together in terms of national feelings or practical interests.

"Italy and Japan ......" Li Qi's tone was still dull: "What kind of engine are they going to engage in joint development?" ”

There are signs of the rise of the tide in Italy, the fascist parties are marching at every turn, and the forms of ancient Rome are one after another, but there is no openness to restore the Mediterranean Sea of Roman times as an inland sea. However, Benito. Mussolini said something similar to his own party more than once, and he was running to restore the glory of Rome.

To put it mildly, Italy did have a golden period in the aviation industry, at least around 1930 to the forefront of the world, but later in order to carry out the invasion of the Balkans and Africa, most of the scientific research funds were misappropriated to the development of armaments, resulting in the original leading aviation industry research began to slow down, and even with the successful invasion of Algeria and Ethiopia, too much money was invested in the invasion zone, resulting in a complete stagnation.

"Prime Minister, in fact, Japan has invited us to join." Gustav. Stresemann looked impressed: "Perhaps...... We should be on board. Not only to restore our ties with nations, but also ...... To prepare for the future. ”

Gustav. Of course, Stresemann did not know that Li Qi had been preparing for war all along, and in fact, not many people knew about it except for some core figures, which proved that Li Qi had done a good job of secrecy.

"Discuss in detail, and if you confirm that it is suitable, you can send a delegation." Richie had no reason to refuse.

What a fucking thing that must be? Knowing that it is a pit, he can only jump down by pinching his nose, because at least there is a pit to jump on, and if he doesn't jump, he can only be alone.

Richie knows too well what the "two allies of the future" do! One is constantly sleepwalking in a sweet dream, which is simply a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper; The other is even more exaggerated, at the beginning, it is to move forward on the road of death, and to die professionally for thirty years.

[That damn thing, because of the war became an upstart, and the result was a desire for more war, but like cerebral palsy, the national policy changed again and again! 】

If Germany had not allied with Japan, would it not have provoked the United States after Pearl Harbor? Actually, it's impossible! Regardless of whether Germany and Japan are allies or not, as long as the United States enters a state of war, the next step is to declare war on Germany. It can even be said that even if the British did not kneel and beg in a low voice and without backbone, the Yankees would never allow Germany to become the hegemon of Europe, which is contrary to the Yankees' national policy arrangement for nearly a hundred years.

I can only get together with two unreliable partners! What Li Qi is thinking about is, can he take advantage of the time to play a good little buddy development plan? (To be continued.) )
