And Zhang Xuewu's order undoubtedly made the German side very interested, especially the tank shooting codenamed Honor II, which made the German side feel like seeing the morning star! Outstanding protection ability, strong mobility, and fierce firepower! Like a little leopard, Zhang Xuewu's order for a hundred aircraft saved the Bavarian aircraft factory, although the two sides are in the final battle over the price, but in fact, many people see very clearly that the Chinese will be the final winner, because the Bavarian aircraft made by the extremely risky multi-purpose aircraft is difficult to find the next buyer.

A general under the Central Army of the Chinese political axe purchases ten times more than his political axe? This is difficult to reason in the eyes of the Germans, the Germans took a lot of effort to understand the relationship between Zhang Xuewu and Zhang Xueliang, and smoothed out their position in the central political axe in Nanjing, and then understood that even the central army of the political axe in Nanjing, China, as long as you have money, you can also buy the weapons you need, so the German political axe Wehrmacht attaches great importance to this, which is why Seckert's award to China.

Airplanes! Buzzing! The poignant siren sounded on the main defensive position of the outer line of Hu Zhenglong's Fourth Division and the 10th Brigade in Chaoyangnan, Zhang Xuewu opened his pocket watch and put it aside, George Vertzel and Seckert each had an artillery mirror to observe the left and right positions, and thirty seconds later, a large group of regiments swarmed in, and Sun Guiming of the 10th Brigade shouted at the top of his voice: "Order the 20th Regiment to enter the position, and the 21st Regiment should respond to the flank of the 11th Brigade of the friendly neighbors, what is going on?" Xi staff officer? ”

In the artillery mirror, the heavily armed Chinese soldiers began to quickly enter the positions and fortifications in some panic, during which the officers and non-commissioned officers played a vital role, when Sun Guiming found the corps commander Zhang Xuewu and a large group of German advisers, he immediately understood everything, so he immediately entered the role, and immediately contacted the artillery regiment directly under the division in the rear by telephone, and transferred the heavy mortar battalion and the Yeshan artillery battalion directly under the brigade from the second line to the third line for deployment.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Xuewu picked up the gold-shelled pocket watch on the side and snapped the lid shut and said: "Don't insult the four words on this watch, your troops are performing very well, and they can still enter the position within fifteen minutes when the meal is served, and the limit of the mixed assault of the army infantry is at least thirty minutes, not bad!" Even under enemy fire, within twenty minutes, you can enter the position unprepared, and guard against arrogance and rashness! Strive for greater honor! ”

This is the first time that Sun Guiming has a face-to-face conversation with the corps commander Zhang Xuewu at such a distance, it is inevitable that he is a little excited, and the corps commander actually gave himself a pocket watch with a gold shell, Sun Guiming didn't even dare to look at it on the spot, took it with respectful hands, stood aside and watched Zhang Xuewu talk with a group of Germans, and the Germans' pointing and pointing made Sun Guiming a little frightened, and he was very afraid that the Germans were finding fault with himself.

In the end, Zhang Xuewu said to Sun Guiming: "Tell your division commander, let him do whatever he should be busy with, you don't need to rush over to serve Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't need him to serve, the German adviser said that your fortifications are well built, and the response of the troops is okay, but the defense system of the fortifications still needs to be strengthened and improved, especially the position of the right flank, there are obvious weak points!" ”

Sun Guiming glanced at the right flank, and quietly approached Zhang Xuewu and said: "Commander, that is the defensive connection position between our department and the 11th Brigade, where there are dense minefields and concealed fire points, which are a fire trap, deliberately exposed to Yue himself, and a certain amount of mines are also buried in the anti-tank trench, Xiao Yue dared to come over to ensure that they had a surprise!" ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded, looked at the long line of defense and said: "The strength of a division to defend such a long line is indeed very tight, and it will be much better to wait for the permanent garrison fortifications of the entire defense line to be completed!" No more than three years at most! ”

After Zhang Xuewu left, George Futzel and Seckert, Sun Guiming wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Thanks to Lao Tzu's ghost today, he came in like a god and didn't scold, my God!" Can you still live after scolding the legion commander? ”

The officers on the side came over with a smile, scrambling to see Sun Guiming's gold watch, you must know that pocket watches and even watches are not rare, but gold watches are different, especially the gold watches given by the corps commander himself, the meaning is even more extraordinary!

Sun Guiming was reluctant to let everyone touch it, he carefully opened the pocket watch, and the golden words "Loyal to the Country" on it made everyone's eyes shine, it was not the most common "dear sincerity", nor "success and benevolence"! And the mother-in-law's tattoo "loyal to the country"!

Zhang Xuewu spent five days with George Futzel and Seckert two generals to raid and inspect his subordinate five divisions and two brigades, the most well-trained is the artillery brigade, I don't know the so-called mechanized brigade, the worst lax is the second brigade of the first division Xu Guohui's department, in general, Zhang Xuewu is satisfied, but for the other lax, Zhang Xuewu also gave severe criticism and a warning warning.

Zhang Xuewu prepared seventeen pocket watches, and finally only gave three pieces, because he would only send them if he was satisfied, so the three people who wore pocket watches were also extraordinarily foreign, and the Chinese [***] people were different from foreign armies who were used to wearing medals, and ordinary officers and soldiers did not have medals to wear.

The medal is a representative of military honor, Seckert felt very strange that the Chinese [***] people collected the medal instead of wearing it, while Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu and others felt that if they wore all their medals, in case of a flash of death were captured by the enemy, it would be a real shame.

Zhang Xuewu naturally knew that this was a kind of disagreement between the two different ideologies of the East and the West, each with its own reason, but Zhang Xuewu came up with the idea of creating a batch of honorary medals, bronze, silver, gold third-class tiger medals, for the officers and soldiers of various departments to hang on the left chest, it seems to be a good idea? Moreover, it seems that those who kill high-ranking officers of the Chinese army, blow up or destroy enemy tanks and artillery, who fight extremely bravely, and who take part in battles with wounds, should also be given certain ornaments to prove their honor.

After Seckert personally put on the "Knight of Friendship Medal" for Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Xuewu ordered Huang Tao to study a set of battle wounds, heroic guides, destruction guides, and kill guides, which were used to reward officers and soldiers who fought bravely, so as to wear them on their chests to mark honor.

Subsequently, the dinner officially began, when many officers were eating and drinking, Zhang Xuewu and Seckert and Georg Futzel secretly came to Zhang Xuewu's humble bedroom, and an accompanying German captain acted as a meeting record.

Seckert officially took out the memorandum and handed it to Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Xuewu with a serious expression got up and took it with both hands, as a witness to history, Zhang Xuewu's mood at the moment was complicated to an indescribable level, Zhang Xuewu carefully looked at the so-called contract of the German Ministry of Defense!

This contract is similar to the unilateral hegemony clause of later generations, the so-called contract stipulates that Zhang Xuewu will hand over all the design data and base files to the German side, and ensure that the German side has all the right to use the patent, and keep it confidential, on the contrary, the German side will immediately start to design and produce the bank's tanks, and the first 30 test vehicles will be given to Zhang Xuewu free of charge, but Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Corps needs to purchase a total of 150 units of this model and the German side's subsequent improved models. The German side completed the transfer of all combat vehicles before March 1935, and trained relevant armored troops and technical maintenance personnel for Zhang Xuewu.

Zhang Xuewu closed the contract and took a deep breath, it is indeed a bit of a bully! Obviously, he seems to have given himself a huge benefit, but Zhang Xuewu knows very well that this is the Germans asking themselves to pay for them to experiment with new equipment, Zhang Xuewu, who has never suffered losses, put down the contract with a slight smile and said: "If this design flow into the hands of Soviet Russia, I wonder if it can be exchanged for 200 free chariots?" ”

Georg Furtzel's face changed and said, "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

Seckert glanced at George Futzel beside him, and then said: "If General Zhang wanted to hand it over to the Soviet Russian side, I am afraid that it would have been handed over to them a long time ago, you must know that Chairman Chiang actually does not like Soviet Russia, but he is forced to resume diplomacy due to the pressure of the Imperial Empire, and hopes to use Soviet Russia to contain himself, am I right?" General Zhang! ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "Your Excellency, you are very right, but I must say that we are doing business, where is the goods, do you want to give money?" Sincerity! We both have to show sincerity, you must know that it took me a few days to draw this design, which is very hard! ”

These two drawings drawn by General Zhang himself? George Vertzel and Seckert looked at Zhang Xuewu with incredulous eyes, Zhang Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I have liked machinery and ordnance since I was a child, and in this Battle of Rehe, our army's Renault and Italy's thin-skinned rags are not the opponents of the tanks of the Yue army at all, and what is the tank?" The ancient battlefield was used for heavy cavalry, charging into battle, and my current few broken things lack firepower? Not enough defense? Not to mention the speed, so I figured out the tank I imagined, that is, the drawings of the two chapters, hoping that the German factory could make it for me to use against the Japanese army in the future. ”

Seckert frowned and said: "I really painted it myself, I can't say any design, it's just a general appearance, and I have to ask professional designers and mechanization engineers to complete it!" I also have a whole bunch of different sketches at home in Yenching, airplanes, submarines, warships, etc., just a hobby! ”

Seckert nodded and said, "Then how did General Zhang draw the front part of the tank into an inclined plane?" I'm very curious about that! ”
