The second Stockholm International Defense Exhibition is about to open, this time the scale of the defense exhibition is larger, seeing the good publicity effect of the previous defense exhibition, more arms dealers have begun to pay attention to this defense exhibition held in the small Nordic countries. In particular, the birth of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium has made many arms dealers feel that the world defense market is rising rapidly, and perhaps a gluttonous feast for arms dealers will come soon, and let their own popularity be improved, so that their arms products can have a good sales performance, and the best way is to come to Sweden's Stockholm International Defense Exhibition to exhibit, which is indeed the best weapons display platform.

On the one hand, because the restrictions imposed by the Versailles Peace on Germany were gradually being broken, some old German arms manufacturers began to return from the civilian field to the military field, and of course many projects were still carried out under the banner of civilian use.

At this time, it was the end of 1932, and the current German Reichstag was already in the hands of Hitler's Nazi Party, and on July 31, 1932, the Nazi Party won 37.3% of the votes and won 230 seats, making it the largest party in the Reichstag. So the revival of Germany as a whole is unstoppable.

Philip clearly remembers that period of history, and in January 1933, Hitler finally stepped onto the stage of history and became the chancellor of Germany! Although this heroic figure once brought great war disasters to the world, it is undeniable that he still has a strong ability to unite Germans and promote Germany's economic and social development. Hitler promised at the beginning of his coming to power to "let every German household have milk and bread on their table", and his promise was fulfilled at the beginning of the Third Reich, that is, in 1938, and Germany's industry and science and technology also developed rapidly during the Third Reich, and even more than 20 kinds of new weapons invented during the Second World War, except for rocket artillery, which was invented by the Soviet Union, anti-tank rocket launchers and atomic bombs, and the rest of the new weapons were all invented by the Germans, what a remarkable achievement, It is true that the Germans have a talent for industry and technology that surpasses that of other countries.

Historically, Germany and China were indeed very closely linked, and even after Japan launched the 918 Incident, no country in the Western countries except Germany stood up to help China resist Japanese aggression, and the United States and Britain at that time completely betrayed China for their own interests, and the United States has been providing Japan with materials for the war, including strategic materials such as high-octane gasoline, and it did not stop trade with Japan until shortly before the outbreak of the Pacific War. In order to protect their interests in the Far East, the British did not hesitate to do things that harmed China's interests after the outbreak of the Pacific War, including reaching a secret agreement with Japan to close the Yunnan-Burma Highway for three months, resulting in the cutting off of supplies for China under the Lend-Lease Act, which seriously affected the situation of China's anti-Japanese struggle.

In fact, until Germany formed an alliance with Japan, Germany's relations with China were still very friendly, and China also purchased a lot of advanced weapons from Germany, including Krupp's cannons, Mauser rifles to Junker and Heinkel aircraft, and even China also purchased ten HE111 medium bombers, which played a certain role in bombing the Japanese army in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. Even after Germany formed alliances with Japan and Italy, Germany still secretly maintained relations with China.

Philip also knows very well that during World War II, the relationship between countries is really unclear, the United States, Britain, France and other countries have been appeasement policy towards Germany and Japan, which is the real reason for the Second World War, in Europe, the United States, Britain, France and other countries want to lead Germany to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union wants to let the United States, Britain, France and Germany do it, of course, the United States, Britain and France are not without suspicions, these countries also have contradictions, so Germany continues to grow. In the East, after Japan launched a war of aggression against China, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union had a completely high-minded attitude of not caring about their own affairs, because these countries completely looked down on poor and weak China, but only Germany extended a helping hand to China at this time.

Of course, there may be many theories about the reasons why Germany is friendly to China. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON THEORIES IS THAT HITLER, IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY DESCRIBING HIS CHILDHOOD IN VIENNA, MENTIONED THAT WHEN HE WAS DESTITUTE, HE RECEIVED SELFLESS HELP FROM A CHINESE FAMILY LIVING IN AUSTRIA, AND THAT THE FAMILY SURNAMED ZHANG (ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL GERMAN PRONUNCIATION CHEUNG, WHICH CAN ALSO BE TRANSLATED AS "CHENG") PROVIDED HIM WITH 500 AUSTRIAN IMPERIAL SHILLINGS FOR HIS TUITION AND LIVING EXPENSES AT A TIME, AND OFTEN INVITED HIM TO HIS HOME FOR DINNER AND LODGING.

When they learned that Hitler had a good talent for painting, this kind Chinese family also took the initiative to help him contact the famous University of Vienna, hoping to sponsor him to study at the university. Their help was selfless and unforgettable. Later, when Hitler came to power, he annexed Austria, but no matter what method he used, he never found this kind benefactor again.

Sun Tzu's Art of War and Zizhi Tongjian at the head of the bed--- Hitler was very fond of the ancient Chinese art of war and books. According to his entourage secretary, Chinese books in German editions could often be seen at the head of the imperial head's bedside.

Hitler carried a condensed translation of the Art of War with him during his visits to the French occupation zone and to Italy, and he often read and wrote numerous reading notes. When Rommel was appointed Field Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the North African Front, he also gave the famous general a condensed translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War with his own annotations, which made the loyal general weeping for gratitude.

Despise Japan and favor China--- In the early days of the Axis alliance, Hitler did not anticipate such rapid development in Japan. At that time, at the military base in Mainz, he had privately told his Secretary General Armstaelan that it was a shame to form an alliance with such a country, that they would only fish by the sea!

Thus, despite pressure from Italy to form an alliance with Japan, Nazi Germany's attitude toward the Chinese government has always been rather ambiguous. Even after learning of the fall of Nanjing, Germany secretly supported some German-made weapons of the Nationalist army, including the No. 1 tank.

Hitler once said: "The Chinese are not equal to the Tatars and the Huns, they are a special race, a race with some civilization." He also expressed friendship with China and praised Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek sent a large number of publicly-funded students to Germany. As for the large amount of German military aid before the Anti-Japanese War, it is needless to say that it was not until the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War that it gave military aid to China on a small scale despite Japan's strong opposition until 1941. The German Gestapo did not bother Chinese students very much, even after the war, and it is also true that Germany funded the Chinese delegation for the 1936 Olympic Games.

Philip also understood that he could not stop the rise of the Third Reich, so he could only use it as much as possible to develop and expand his Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, and at the same time help China defeat the Japanese Empire as much as possible, after all, although Philip is now a Westerner's body, he has a Chinese soul!
