Chapter 1086: Going on a Wild Scale

A week passed quickly, and Qiao Youhua had just perfected a design when he got a report from Wan Hu, saying that the German side had replied.

The Germans agreed to Qiao Youhua's request and were willing to help the Dragon's Tooth Corps and the Eighth Route Army establish a complete German-style military industrial system, but Qiao Youhua had to fulfill his promise to accept Jews that the Germans did not like, and within three years, design no less than ten weapons and equipment designs for Germany, which mainly included fighters, tanks and warships.

The Germans were more inclined to strengthen their ground armored forces and air force than warships, which meant that Qiao Youhua only needed to design ten types of fighter and tank designs for them.

Qiao Youhua was overjoyed and immediately instructed Wan Hu to reply to the German side, saying that he completely agreed.

In fact, it was most advantageous to make a deal with Germany at this time, because Germany's center of gravity at this time was all in Europe, and they did not care about the eastern battlefield at all, and there was no direct interest relationship between China and Japan.

As for helping China build a military-industrial system, this is too simple for them, and they can all help the Soviet Union, a behemoth, to complete the development of semi-industrialization, and there is no reason to reject China.

What's more, the design drawings designed by Qiao Youhua are coveted by the Western powers.

The Germans are just exchanging existing technology for more advanced technology, and in their opinion, they are not losing money, so why not?

The reaction of the Soviets was a little slower, and it was not until the evening of the same day that they gave a reply, agreeing to Qiao Youhua's request, but only agreeing to help build some production plants supporting the military industrial system, such as oil refineries, coal mines, steel mills and other supporting technical facilities.

As for the weapons and equipment system, the reason is very simple, they are still improving, and it is not convenient to transfer them to the outside world for the time being.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Lao Maozi still does not want China to become strong quickly, which will threaten its interests in the Far East.

After all, Lao Maozi is at a loss, during the period of Tsarist Russia, they invaded and forcibly occupied millions of square kilometers of land of the Chinese nation, such as Siberia, Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island, etc., and a large area of Far Eastern land, which was originally Chinese.

Now that the Eighth Route Army and the Dragon's Tooth Corps have swept through the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast with lightning speed, they have actually basically controlled a large area north of the Yellow River.

After the October Revolution, however, Lenin declared that he would give up all the lands of other countries seized during the period of Tsarist Russia, and return to China all the lands of the Far East, such as Sakhalin, Siberia, the Great Khingan Mountains, Outer Mongolia, and Vladivostok.

If China becomes more and more powerful in the Far East, and Lao Maozi now wants to rely on it, then it will have to increase the deployment of military forces in the Far East.

Now that Europe has been swept by the Germans, Lao Maozi does not want to deploy too many troops in the Far East, which is not conducive to their interests in Europe and dealing with the situation.

However, this doesn't matter to Qiao Youhua, anyway, with the German military industrial system, it is equivalent to having the production and development capacity of Soviet-style equipment, because everyone knows that the Soviet Union's military technology was developed with the help of Germany, and the weapons and equipment production technology and equipment of the two countries have many similarities.

Since Lao Maozi harbors evil intentions and guards against us, then don't blame me for being biased.

Qiao Youhua had already decided to give the Germans the blueprints of tanks and airplanes in the fifties and sixties, while the Soviets only gave them the blueprints that they should have in history, that is, they would come out in a few years.

In this way, although at first glance it seems quite advanced, it may also inspire the Soviet military-industrial scientists, but the Germans, who were already leading in the field of science and technology, will receive more advanced design concepts and inspiration.

It will be the best in Europe.

When Hitler, a war maniac, won the war against Britain and France, dominated most of Europe, and his ambitions swelled to a certain extent, and he instigated a little, millions of German troops would definitely march eastward and launch a lightning-like attack on Lao Maozi as they did in history.

At that time, it will be a strengthened version of the German army that will attack the Soviet Union, and it is difficult to say whether Lao Maozi can withstand it.

Once Moscow and other places are lost, Lao Maozi will inevitably send reinforcements from the Far East to come back, and then it will be an excellent time for China to demand that Lao Maozi return the occupied territories.

If Lao Maozi dares not to pay it back, Lao Maozi who only needs 300,000 border guards to fight will not be able to take care of the whole thing, and when the time comes, his nose and face will be swollen and even his mother will not recognize him.

The deal with the Soviet Union and Germany was because the whole of Northeast China was now under the control of the Eighth Route Army and the Dragon's Tooth Corps, which also controlled a large number of coastal cities and ports from Lianyungang to Dalian, from the East China Sea to the Bohai Sea.

So the shipping aspect will be much smoother.

After Qiao Youhua agreed, the Soviet Union and Germany began to fulfill the treaty, and began to rush to China with skilled workers and equipment.

Qiao Youhua found the chief of staff Zuo Quan, and Zuo Quan saw him with a sad face and a worried look, and couldn't help asking: "Youhua, what's wrong, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded, raised his head and said, "Chief of Staff, let me think again, where is the most suitable place for us to build an industrial base?" Our current arsenal is already saturated in Pingshan.

Moreover, in the future, we want to establish a larger military industrial cluster, which can produce tanks, aircraft, artillery, and even warships, and it is obviously not appropriate to build an industrial base in Pingshan, an inland mountain city. ”

"Well, you have a point, but where should we build it?" Left Power is also mired in contradictions.

"Youhua, what do you say about the Northeast?" Zuo Quan said: "The Northeast is vast and rich, and it borders the big brother of the Soviet Union. Moreover, the Northeast Railway is developed, and there are natural excellent ports such as Dalian Lushun and Yingkou, and the water and land transportation are very convenient, so it should be a good and suitable place. Zuo Quan thought for a while.

Qiao Youhua thought for a while and nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense, if the industrial base is located in the Northeast, the existing railway network in the Northeast can indeed provide us with great convenience, but we can't blindly believe in Lao Maozi, a polar bear." And now we don't have a navy, but the navy of the Japanese devils is still strong, and the coastal ports are not safe.

In fact, the most suitable place in my heart is Wuhan, which is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and has the Yangtze River waterway, and in the case that we do not have a navy, where to create a shipyard is undoubtedly the most suitable.

However, now that Wuhan is still in the hands of the devils, and it is too far away from our base area, we will not consider it, so let's set it up in Shenyang and Changchun, Jilin first, but in this case, we have to strengthen the deployment of troops in the northeast.

Because in the future, where will it become the "heart" of our Eighth Route Army's war against Japan, we must absolutely guard against the direct landing of little devils from the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula to attack our military industrial base. ”
