Looking at the back of Hideki Tojo in the distance, Umezu Mijiro and Ishihara Waner couldn't help but look at each other, and Ishihara Waner scolded angrily for a long time: "Yaga, this senior soldier is like this, if things are messed up, he will pick a pick, and in the end he always lets others wipe his buttocks, he has been this virtue since he was a child, and he hasn't changed it when he is old!" ”

Umezu Mijiro sighed, "Ishihara-kun, you still don't have to complain, let's hurry up and clean up the mess, otherwise we will be passive when the people of China occupy Liaoyuan." Ishihara snorted and stopped talking, and the two began to get busy in the headquarters, and one after another instructions were transmitted along the airwaves.

Su Tong of the Chahar Provincial Government Building in Zhangjiakou was meeting with Colonel Hans, who had been hanging out by himself for several days, but it seemed that Colonel Hans did not mind the cold reception he had received in these days, and after meeting Su Tong, he talked with great interest.

"General Su, I have to admit that this originally desolate and barren land has become a hot land under your efforts, and the buildings that continue to rise from the ground and the dazzling array of goods on the streets prove that your department is not only a general who can fight well, but also an excellent pioneer."

Su Tong smiled slightly: "Okay, Colonel Hans, I didn't invite you here today to listen to your kind words, I think we should talk about our unfinished treaty before?" ”

"Oh!" Hans was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Well, as you wish!" ”

Su Tong took out a cigarette and handed it to Hans, but he smiled and waved his hand to refuse, Su Tong didn't care, lit one for himself before saying: "Colonel Hans, after our careful consideration, we think that the conditions of your government are too disproportionate to the price we pay and the benefits we can reap. Isn't it too much for your government to sell us two shipyards and a few submarines and ask us to contain the world's two largest countries in both Soviet Russia and the Pacific at the same time? And that's beyond our reach. ”

Hans thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, what do you mean?" ”

"We can sign a secret agreement in which we can have limited technical exchanges and mutual access to weapons. Well, you must have heard about the naval battle in Peter the Great Bay a few days ago! Isn't your country interested in those advanced shore-based aircraft? At this time, Su Tong was like a third-rate arms dealer, skillfully selling his goods.

However, although Hans looked a little silly on weekdays, he was not ambiguous in this regard, he shook his head and said: "General Su, I admit that although your naval planes are very good, the existing planes of our German government may not be inferior to them, so we can only appreciate your kindness!" But I still want to congratulate you, your army sank the aircraft carrier and battleship of the Japanese himself, which also taught us a lesson, the battleship is not invincible, and a small plane can sink it! ”

Su Tong, who failed to sell, was not angry, he talked to Hans in a rambling manner, that is, he did not agree to the conditions of the alliance that Hans originally proposed. In the end, Hans could only say regretfully: "General Su, it seems that we can't reach an agreement on the conditions for the time being, and I am about to return to China, what a pity, it seems that we still can't form a real ally between the two sides!" ”

Commander Su also smiled and said: "Colonel Hans, a real ally is not something that can be exchanged by an alliance, I always think that as an ally, the first thing is that both sides can be happy and can put themselves in each other's shoes and only ask for unilateral benefits, which is unrealistic, what do you say?" ”

Su Tong's words faintly pointed out Hitler's little trick, and Hans couldn't help blushing after hearing it.

In the end, because the differences between the two sides were too great, Hitler could not make up his mind for a while after Hans consulted the German government, so he had to order Hans to come back first, and thus the first alliance negotiations between the two sides came to an end.

After sending Hans away, Su Tong was also pondering in his heart that there was only a little more than a year before the start of World War II, what benefits could he and Huaxia gain in this unprecedented world war?

Full cooperation with Hitler, the mustache? No, the fate of the mustache is too clear to say that there is no corpse, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no corpse, it is okay to cooperate with him, but if you tie yourself to the same boat with him, you can't afford the consequences.

Working with the Yankees? However, I am not very familiar with the upper echelons of the United States, and I still lack a stepping stone if I want to establish a relationship with the United States.

Su Tong also understands that although his arrival has changed some of the history of China, because the foundation of China is too thin, whether it is industry, economy or agriculture, compared with those world powers, the gap is not ordinarily large, and this gap cannot be caught up without decades of effort. Therefore, the first goal now is to plan how to get the most out of this unprecedented world war a year later.

Su Tong is not brain-dead enough to be able to destroy the beauty and dominate the world after three and five years of development, as said in some YY novels in later generations, that can only be thought about when dreaming at night. There are some things that have not been precipitated by time and years, and there is no way to solve them.

For example, in this era, more than 90 percent of the Chinese population is illiterate or semi-literate, and this problem can only be solved by the efforts of one or more generations. Su Tong could not imagine that a country with more than 90 percent of the population being illiterate could quickly develop into an industrial power.

Another example is the issue of the army, in the past, the development of land grass did not feel so obvious, and the only types of troops with more concentrated technology were armored troops and air force, but now once the navy was developed, Su Tong immediately felt struggling.

The navy is a high-tech collection of arms, and Su Tong could not believe that a group of illiterate or semi-literate soldiers could operate such a high-tech battleship or cruiser, let alone a new type of aircraft carrier. An aircraft carrier fleet needs thousands of sailors, and without one or two years of training, it is impossible to train a qualified sailor, let alone those officers.

Su Tong asked himself if he could make Niu Ben at the moon base build an aircraft carrier in a month, but what about people? What about the talent needed to operate these ships? A large aircraft carrier needs at least two to three thousand people to play, and even more talent is needed for a supporting escort fleet. Later research data show that during World War II, more than 75 percent of the sailors of the US Navy had received high school or college education, and the worst were all junior high school or above. (As an aside, Ah Ding's father was a soldier in the sixties and seventies, and he only had a primary school education, so he could only become a battalion-level cadre, and the army had regulations that those who wanted to be promoted to the regiment level must be initially Chinese, so they had to be stupid and professional, which shows the lack of talents in China at that time.) ）

Just when Chief Su had a headache, someone came to report: "Lord Su, there is an American reporter named Alice outside who is looking for you!" ”

"Alice?" Su Tong couldn't help but be surprised, and a pretty face with a clear silhouette couldn't help but appear in his mind, they hadn't seen each other for a few months since they parted in Nanjing, how did she come to the door now?

Although there was a lot of imagination in his heart, he still didn't slack off in his mouth, and quickly said, "Please invite her to my office." ”

After a while, a sound of light footsteps sounded in front of Su Tong's office, and soon a beautiful face and a graceful body appeared in front of Chief Su.

"General Su, we're meeting again!" The exotic Chinese made Su Tong's heart flutter.

Su Tong stood up and greeted him, "Oh, Miss Alice, we meet again, is there anything you have to do with coming to Zhangjiakou this time?" ”

"General Su, are you always so direct? This is not the demeanor of a gentleman. Alice looked at Su Tong with a smile, and her big beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Gentleman?" Su Tong pretended to be surprised and asked: "What is a gentleman, don't forget, there is no market for such a thing as a gentleman in Huaxia here." ”

Hearing Su Tong's rogue statement, Alice couldn't help but feel angry, and stared at Chief Su speechless for a while.

"Hehe, okay, let's stop talking about this boring topic!" Seeing that this beautiful reporter was a little angry by herself, Su Tong hurriedly changed the topic, "Alice, you didn't come to me today to talk to me about any gentleman's problem, you must know that you are a busy man!" ”

"Why, can't I look for you if there's nothing to do? You know you owe me a favor. Alice, who still had a lingering aftertaste, said angrily.

"Well, I admit that I was wrong, I shouldn't offend a lady, especially one who is so beautiful and shiny." Su Tong spread his hands helplessly, "As an apology, I will invite you to eat in our snack street in Zhangjiakou as an apology, what do you think?" ”

Well, Chief Su Jia hit the death hole of Alice, a beautiful reporter, and Alice, who loves food, was attracted by the dazzling array of snacks in China after coming to China, and it has become one of Alice's hobbies to look for snacks first when she goes to various places.

Tempted by the food, Alice was helplessly defeated, "Okay, I'll make a long story short." I came to you this time for two things, the first thing is that the market response of the book "Juhuā and the Knife" that you asked me to help you publish in the United States is not bad, so far it has sold more than 100,000 copies, and I have already brought you the first sales commission, a total of 100,000 US dollars, this is a check, you take it! ”

After Alice finished speaking, she took out a check from the American Huā Banner Bank and handed it to Su Tong, and then began to talk about the second thing with a solemn face
