January 15, 1928.

Legation of the Republic of China to the German Empire, Kurthornstrasse, Berlin, Germany.

Minister Huang Fu's study has now been given to Luo Yaoguo as a reception room. After the dinner, Luo Yaoguo, Lu Ming, Gustav. Krupp, Heinz. Blom (Blom. Representative of the Fox shipyard), Bauer. Rosh (the owner of the mAn company) and the five men entered the study, and until midnight, the negotiations were still not over. Natalie, on the other hand, brought the steaming coffee in again and again, so as to give a boost to the evil capitalists who were plotting to destroy world peace in the third watch......

The study is filled with the aroma of fine coffee and fine tobacco. The negotiations seem to be a bit deadlocked. Luo Yaoguo, who was sitting behind a large mahogany desk, had a calm face all night, basically didn't say anything, just drank coffee and inhaled second-hand smoke. Lu Ming, chief engineer of the Ministry of Armaments and director of the Trade Bureau, is an expert in technology, so negotiations involving technology transfer naturally have to be negotiated by him, and Luo Yaoguo is just a bodhisattva who respects the array.

Tonight's negotiations are actually part of the "warship trade" that is booming right now. Originally, according to Uncle Krupp, they carried out military-industrial cooperation with China to help China grow its navy and build warships. It is for the sake of Sino-German friendship to help Germany secretly accumulate a little naval strength, purely out of the noble sentiment of patriotism...... This Luo Yaoguo also believed it at that time, but he never dreamed that these Germans, who looked quite honest, would start selling warships all over the world before the joint venture shipyard was fully completed

At present, the world economy is very prosperous, but the international arms trade, especially the trade in military ships, is extremely sluggish, mainly because of the First World War and the Washington Naval Treaty. After the end of World War I, Germany, which was originally a major arms exporter, was shackled by the Treaty of Versailles, and it was no longer possible to sell warships. After the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty, Britain, the United States, Japan, France, and Italy, the world's five major naval powers, were not reluctant to sell warships at will, especially warships that were really useful and useful. For example, the "Polish Legion"-class armored ships, which are well received in the international market this time, will not be able to sell them...... Not to mention the madness that almost makes the admirals of the world envious. Marx's "class battleships", so the downturn in the arms trade is not actually a downturn on the demand side, but a downturn on the supply side. Therefore, when Germany, the king of the arms trade, turned a corner in China and returned to the international arms market, and also came up with really good tools, this order naturally continued one after another. "Carl. A total of four high-end battleships such as the Marx-class battleships have been ordered, and more than 10 low-cost and high-quality warships such as the "Polish Legion" class armored ships have been ordered. In addition, there is a light cruiser of the "Königsberg" class, and there are almost more than a dozen orders for it.

Now that a lot of good tools have been ordered out, and a lot of deposits have been collected, it is natural to consider how to build these warships. As a result, the contradiction between China and Germany began to appear, and this contradiction is the transfer of core technology and the transfer of production capacity of high-end manufacturing.

Core technology, uh, this problem must be under the control of all countries and capitalists in the world before GCISM is realized. Nature Krupp and Blom. FUCHS and mAn are no exception. And what is their core technology?

Naturally, Krupp used various grades of shipbuilding steel and armor steel for battleships in terms of artillery and steel were supplied by Krupp's steel works, and almost all naval guns were also supplied by Krupp. But the problem is that Germany can't afford to export artillery at the moment, so it can only be produced by Chinese joint ventures.

It's just that the naval guns used in this battleship are not the kind of 105 mm or 150 mm howitzers, and the Krupp company casually transferred them. That's a 380 mm 52 times caliber naval gun, and at present, only Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan, and perhaps France have this production capacity in the world, and even the Soviet Union can't build it. ^ At that time, this thing was similar to the ICBMs of later generations, and who would just give up with this? So Gustav. Krupp proposed to open a wholly-owned steel and military-industrial complex in China for the production of high-fidelity artillery and shipbuilding steel...... The address wants to choose the Ma'anshan Iron Mine in Anhui Province.

Blom. FUCHS's core technology is marine propulsion and power systems, such as the Wagner-type high-pressure heavy oil boiler, Blom. A FUCHS steam turbine engine. These two treasures are not considered arms, and at the moment Blom. FUCHS uses a similar power system on some commercial vessels. So in fact, it is not limited by the Treaty of Versailles...... But Luo Yaoguo and Lu Ming really wanted it. Even if it's Blom. FUCHS Shipyard is also wholly owned, as long as it can be produced on Chinese soil. lest in the event of a future war being blockaded by the enemy, and even the marine power system cannot be built, will not the huge shipbuilding industry that China is currently building become an arrangement?

And that mAn company is the manufacturer of the famous Leopard tank in history, and the owner of this company, Bauer. Roshj, on the other hand, was the most reactionary capitalist in Germany at the moment, a staunch advocate of rearmament and a rejection of democratic freedoms (a view that now seems...... So he is also a staunch supporter of "secret Sino-German military cooperation". The current fist products of mAn are various types of diesel engines, in fact, the diesel engine idea was discovered by mAn. All the ideas for marine diesel in this warship trade were provided by mAn. So Luo Yaoguo also wanted mAn to set up a factory in China to produce various types of diesel, in addition to tanks

However, the three Germans seem to have their own calculations, and they are constantly making all kinds of harsh and strange demands to Lu Ming. On the other hand, they have always been vague about the transfer of certain key technologies to the Ministry of Armaments and the construction of a plant for the production of core components in China, and they have refused to finalize it, obviously because they want to obtain more preferential conditions.

I don't know how long the difficult negotiation went on, only to hear Luo Yaoguo cough lightly, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said, "Everyone, have you forgotten what a great cause we are undertaking?" Our cooperation is likely to determine the pattern of the world in the next 1,000 years, and whether our respective motherlands will be the leaders of the world in the next 1,000 years or completely wiped out depends on our current cooperation, and my demands are not high...... I don't want them to transfer key technology to Chinese companies or governments, but I want them to open factories in China that can produce large-caliber naval guns, high-power diesel, high-pressure heavy oil boilers for ships, and steam turbines. This purpose is only to enable China to connect and continue its combat effectiveness in the future world war, do they think that in the future war, without China's intervention, Germany can win the world with the strength of one country? It is important to know that the future enemies are not only Britain, France, but also the Soviet Union, and even the United States, without the help of a powerful China, Germany will not be able to win the war. A strong China is inseparable from those key heavy industries. ”

“…… And Germany has also received sufficient returns in cooperation with China, profits, rare metals, control of new weapons and war experience, in addition to the savings of naval power, half of the combat ships ordered by the navy of the Nationalist Government, where can Germany obtain them at a low price when it rearmament in the future? If it were the Russians, would they dare to cooperate like this? ”

“…… Finally, I'll give you another thorough explanation. The expansion of our Chinese naval armament will never stop at two battleships and two aircraft carriers, and this size of the navy is not enough for China to establish hegemony in the western Pacific, nor is it enough to defeat the old enemy Japan, and my target is eight super battleships and more than twelve aircraft carriers, in addition to ten armored ships and many more cruisers, destroyers, submarines, landing ships...... Uh, do you know what a landing ship is? It is a warship built specifically for amphibious landing. In the future, Germany will be able to use it when attacking the British mainland. If you wish, I can now contract most of these purchases to the Germania shipyard and Blom. A joint venture of FUCHS Shipyard in China. In this way, their investment is secured, how about it? Is it possible? ”

After some half-truths and wishes, Luo Yaoguo straightened his face, puffed up his chest, looked like a generous and sad man, stared at a pair of red eyes that stayed up all night, and quietly looked at the three German reactionary capitalists who loved both patriotism and money, waiting for their final answer......

……

"Honey, have you got those Germans? Do you need me to go out? ”

"Out of the horse?"

"Didn't people want to help, didn't they notice that when I went in to deliver coffee just now, the old German man surnamed Blom kept staring at them?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to seduce him...... Ouch, stop pinching, I know it's wrong...... Woohoo......"

On the mahogany bed in the guest room of the legation, Luo Yaoguo was playing with the stunner with snowy skin and graceful body...... After talking for almost a night, the agreement was finally completed, so Luo Yaoguo, who was in a good mood at this time, was also happy to play with his wife Natalie for a while.

"Well, it seems to be in a good mood, it looks like those Germans are fooled." After playing for a while, Natalie, who pretended to be pressed under Luo Yaoguo's uniform, came to such a conclusion.

With a snap, Luo Yaoguo patted Natalie's buttocks lightly, and scolded with a smile: "This fox spirit is all nonsense, what do you mean by being fooled?" That's cooperation, it's mutually beneficial. Again...... Those are some of the smartest people in Europe, can I fool them? ”

Natalie turned her head and smiled at him: "I'm not stupid, I'm not even fooled by being so clever, and the girl sent by Zhongg, I think it will be sooner or later." ”

"Ah, big breasts and no brains." Luo Yaoguo stretched out his right hand and gently scraped it on the bridge of Natalie's high nose, and said with a smile: "Can you now be sure that Ying is an agent sent to me by Zhong G?" ”

Natalie raised her delicate and charming face, and smiled sweetly: "Of course I can be sure, I can be sure from the way she looks at us that she is an agent of Zhongg, and she is still my colleague, uh, they are all spies." ”

"What can you see with one look? It's too, isn't it? Luo Yaoguo rolled down from Natalie, lay down beside her, and gently stroked her body with his hand: "It shouldn't be jealous, right?" ”

Tully squeezed, looking at Luo Yaoguo with a pair of beautiful eyes: "Do you know how much I love?" Because you love me, you're jealous. The other women also had jealousy in their eyes when they saw us together, even the most generous Sister Bei was no exception, but Qu Ying didn't have it, so she didn't really love. ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, with a faint satisfaction in his expression: "Hehe, it's jealousy, right?" ”

"A little bit ......"

Luo Yaoguo looked at the big eyes that showed a hint of resentment, as if he was condemning his absurd and lustful eyes, and felt guilty for a while, and smiled apologetically: "Okay, my beauty, I'll go and take Ying away, uh, I'll never see her again...... Such...... All right? ”

It's just that in the end, there was a hint of reluctance in his tone, really, Luo Yaoguo likes this girl very much, if it weren't for the disagreement between beliefs and ideals, most of the current Mrs. Luo would be her...... Now that people have sent it to the door and driven it out, it seems to be immoral, right?

"Hmph, I know it's reluctant." Natalie is naturally empathetic, otherwise ...... I can't do that. just a slight flash of disappointment on his face: "It's good to keep her by her side if you are reluctant, but she is a ...... of the middle g"

"Are you sure?" Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and said: "Otherwise, tomorrow you will accompany me to meet with the leader of the German National Socialist Workers' Party, uh, that kind of meeting is not interesting at all, that Hitler is all empty words." I'll hand Ying over to ...... tomorrow Review, no, it's an inquiry. I know the legation has a dark, damp basement, and I'll ask there tomorrow. But don't break it. If she's not GCD, I'll take her, or else ......"

"How else?" Natalie looked at Luo Yaoguo with a smile.

……

I don't know what strange thoughts are in the mind of this woman, Natalie...... Just want to ask. I need to buy that rope, a whip, a riding boot...... Or something? And buy it, just buy it, but I still have to take Luo Yaoguo and Qu Ying to visit the German sporting goods store, uh, there are horseback riding equipment sold there

"Ying, how about this horsewhip? Do you like it? Natalie held a long, thick whip in her hand and smiled at Qu Ying, who was timidly hiding behind Luo Yaoguo.

Look at the whip with exquisite workmanship and exquisite materials. Luo Yaoguo broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "This woman shouldn't have that kind of tendency, right?" If that's the case...... Qu Ying is miserable."

But thinking about it, his face didn't show it at all, he just turned his head and looked at Qu Ying with a smile: "Ying, do you like this brand?" ”

The girl seemed to sense that something was wrong at this time, and her face was blue and white. Looking at the thick whip and thinking of his delicate skin like congealed cream, two big tears formed in his eyes. A thought of wanting to run away immediately appeared in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it. You know, it's Germany...... Not South China under the Kuomintang reactionaries. And not in the legation, but in a shop that sells high-end sporting goods. If you want to run, you should be able to run the lost, but the glorious mission handed over by the organization will not be completed. Well, the girl Qu Ying is certainly a loyal GC fighter. And it was trained with special Soviet agent textbooks, which Natalie could see at a glance.

"Well, that's good, I like it." The girl tried her best to suppress the little thought in her heart that she wanted to escape, pretended to smile sweetly, and threw it at Luo Yaoguo with charming eyes as if she didn't want money...... Hopefully this big pervert can be confused.

Seeing that Qu Ying liked that whip a lot, Luo Yaoguo naturally felt a little better in his heart, he glanced at Qu Ying with tender eyes, and then turned his head to the smiling German guy next to Natalie and said, "That's it, I want three." ”

The three Qu Ying bit their lips and looked at Luo Yaoguo's back, two hot tears finally couldn't help falling, he actually bought three horsewhips at once, could it be that he wanted to break one and replace it? Can you handle it yourself? Whining......

It's Natalie happily paying for the mark, and the German guys are busy wrapping those scary leather whips in fine wrapping paper. And Luo Yaoguo took the opportunity to hug Qu Ying's waist, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Ying, don't get excited, those three whips are not all used." After returning from this visit to Europe and the United States, I will go to Mongolia and Xinjiang to see how their military reform is going, and then take them together for horseback riding. ”

Qu Ying snuggled softly into Luo Yaoguo's arms, raised her face as melodious as a fairy in the painting, blinked a pair of bright eyes, and squeezed out a sweet smile: "Well, that's good...... However, I don't know how to ride a horse, so if I can't help but ride with him, I won't have to buy this whip, right? ”

Luo Yaoguo squinted, looking at this girl who had almost been "revealed", and pretended to be ignorant at this time, but there were horrors and tears on his face that could not be hidden. I really thought it was a little funny, so I smiled: "It doesn't matter, Natalie will teach it tomorrow...... They're all Polish masters, well, but she's a bit stricter as a teacher, but be mentally prepared
