Chapter 543: Minor Accidents

"Yuan Xiansheng, in-depth and extensive cooperation with Germany has always been a happy thing for the Chinese government to see, but the Sino-German alliance is designed to all aspects, the most important of which is the attitude of the United States, if the United States feels threatened, they will form an alliance with Britain and France again, and even the Soviet Union may abandon their previous suspicions with them, as for Japan and Italy are unreliable allies, I don't see the slightest situation in favor of us in terms of the balance of power!"

Qiao Yu's words are still very reasonable in the eyes of several German military high-level officials, the reason why Germany lost in World War I was the result of the participation of the United States, and Italy also betrayed Germany in World War I, and the German army has actually been reflecting on World War I, and they hope to find a suitable way to avoid re-following the old path of World War I.

In the eyes of the Germans, the most important thing is to win over China, delay the United States through China and Japan, and then let Germany give it a go, or let China take the lead to attract firepower, but now China is obviously unwilling to offend the United States for Germany, so this dream has lost its color.

Hitler was not reconciled, he also tried to persuade Qiao Yu: "Mr. President, the politicians of the Republic of China are stupid and fragile, their system determines that these countries are not efficient at all, and the United States wants to enter the war through layers of blockage, which is definitely not something that can be done in a short time, and this time is enough for us, we can completely eliminate the main opponent on the Eurasian continent, and when that time comes, the United States can only be helpless, and we can also use Canada and the United States to exchange!"

As for the contradictions between the Soviet Union and the Western world, which are deep-rooted, there is no possibility of an alliance between them, and now the politicians of the West are hoping that Germany and the Soviet Union will go to war, and they will stand by and watch on the basis that these stupid people are not our opponents at all, and it is impossible to elect a suitable leader in democratic elections, they are all weak and powerless, and a bunch of fools who only believe in treaties and guarantees cannot lead the world.

In addition, Italy and Japan, although still somewhat weak, can still fight, especially since Italy has now annexed Abyssinia. Japan also annexed the Dutch East Indies. I think they can be worthy allies and can rewrite the world as long as the four great powers are united! ”

Regarding Hitler's judgment, Qiao Yu could only shake his head secretly in his heart, there has never been a shortage of generals who can fight in German history, but there is a lack of big politicians who have been trapped on the European continent for a long time. The Germans' vision was already seriously wrong.

To put it simply, it is to overestimate yourself and underestimate your opponents!

It is true that the politicians in Britain and France are weak and incompetent, but this does not mean that this is the case in all democracies, especially the US government, which is in a period of rapid rise, and the current President Roosevelt is a complete old fox, if the Americans feel a real threat. It will definitely mobilize quickly, which is very certain after Qiao Yu's visit to the United States.

As for the contradiction between the Soviet Union and the West, it is not a problem, the ideological thing is not an insurmountable obstacle, the key is whether it is worth it, in fact, whether it is Stalin, or Roosevelt, or the big fat man Churchill who is still dormant in Britain, they believe in pragmatism. As long as there is enough interest. There is nothing that cannot be done in their eyes.

In addition, what was even worse for Germany was its ability to choose allies, and in World War I, it chose an Italy that betrayed it. Another Adou Adou Austria-Hungary was selected, and by the time of World War II, Italy had become an Adou that could not be supported, and although Japan was tenacious, it used the wrong direction and stupidly went to attack Pearl Harbor and dragged the Americans into the war.

After Qiao Yu arrived in Germany, he also continued to check the pulse of the German government, what problems did they have, this time he negotiated with Hitler, Qiao Yu was completely clear, the biggest problem in Germany is that he did not recognize who the opponent was.

Britain's decline has been irreversible, the world hegemon has come to change, Germany wants to take advantage of the trend, the United States, which has the strongest industrial strength, is not the case, the two world wars are actually Germany and the United States desperate.

And Hitler now wants to satisfy the appetite of the United States with one Canada, it is simply naΓ―ve, the pattern of the United States itself is enough, and what they want is world hegemony, not pure territory.

It is possible to satisfy countries like China and the Soviet Union with territory, but it is absolutely impossible to appease the United States, and if you can't see the world clearly, it is impossible to win the war, Qiao Yu has secretly sentenced Germany to death.

"Yuan Xiansheng, it's too early to talk about the alliance, Germany's strength still needs to be strengthened, especially the navy, what else does Germany need from China!"

Qiao Yu was no longer willing to argue with Hitler on the issue of alliance, and turned to specific issues, Hitler also felt Qiao Yu's coldness at this time, this president did not seem to have the enthusiasm he imagined, which made Hitler very disappointed, perhaps it was the trip to the United States that made the president afraid, and Hitler's heart was puzzled.

"Mr. President, we need aircraft carriers to form combat strength as soon as possible, I hope China will provide all-round talents, and Germany also needs the design drawings of the latest aircraft carriers!"

"No problem, this time I will stay in Germany with all the personnel who came with the starting point, including carrier-based aircraft pilots and command staff, we will help Germany improve its combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and we will also provide the design drawings of the Zhenyuan, but I hope that Germany can provide China with an interest-free loan at a price of 500 million US dollars!"

Of course, Hitler knew that China still had a newer aircraft carrier design plan, but the other party was only willing to provide the Zhenyuan, and it would increase the loan by 500 million, and it was obvious that China had raised the price, but after seeing the power of the aircraft carrier, Hitler had already made up his mind to get the aircraft carrier technology no matter what.

Therefore, he could only agree without hesitation, and after Qiao Yu returned to the hotel where he was staying, he handed Jiang Baili to his side.

"Brother Baili, what do you think of Germany!"

"There are tactics, but there are no strategies! Ambitious, no pattern! There is a chance, but there are no days! In short, it is difficult to achieve great things! ”

"Brother Baili doesn't always advocate that the son is silent and weird, how can he talk about the number of days?"

"Otherwise, the rise and fall of the country seems to have a certain national fortune behind it, for example, Japan won the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and seized the national fortune, and since then it has been a disaster for China, the British have taken the fortune of the industrial revolution, and the United States has taken advantage of the opportunity of the last war to steal the national fortune of Britain and France, and Germany is currently tossing no matter how it is tossed. will fall into the pattern before the last war. And continue to repeat the mistakes of the past, it is difficult to change! ”

At present, the Great Depression has just passed, the international situation has changed, Germany occupies the time, and Hitler has boosted the morale of the people through various means. It can be regarded as having people, but there is no geographical advantage, and the three are incomplete, and it is difficult to achieve things! ”

Qiao Yu said the things of heaven and man again, but the views of the two are very similar, that is, Germany has the ability to make trouble. but they are not capable of doing things.

In the middle of the conversation, it was reported that Seckert had come to ask for a meeting, and that Seckert was also an old friend of the country, and it was under his single-handed planning that Germany preserved the seeds of the military industry as much as possible, so Seckert had a high status and was very respected in the German Wehrmacht, but now he is in his last years. The body is getting worse and worse. Very few public appearances anymore.

However, Seckert's technology transfer is extremely important for China, and the rising countries want to develop. It is inevitable to learn technology from advanced countries, and the whole of China respects this old man, and Qiao Yu and Jiang Baili personally took him in.

Seckert was indeed old at this time, his body trembled, his old eyes were dizzy, his face and hands were covered with age spots, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, Qiao Yu personally supported Seckert.

"Old general, I was supposed to visit you, but I let you come first, it's really rude!"

"Your Excellency President, I am a bad old man, and I was deeply impressed by my visit to China back then, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to that beautiful country again in this life, I can only come to visit you, just take it as a wish!"

Between the words, the three of them had already done a good job of dividing the guests and hosts, and Seckert coughed again and again, tears and snot were also left, and it took him a long time to clean up, Qiao Yu and Jiang Baili were waiting patiently.

"Mr. President, are you not optimistic about the future of Germany?" As soon as Secket finished cleaning up, he suddenly asked such a question, Qiao Yu was also a little at a loss, this old general was too direct.

If you agree, it will immediately cause a diplomatic conflict, if you lie, it seems that you don't want to go to this dying person, Qiao Yu hesitated a little, and then said: "Germany is a great country, naturally has a bright future, but China's main energy is still focused on domestic people's livelihood, we have a huge population, more than half of the population has only solved the problem of food and clothing, our energy is also focused on the development of people's livelihood, and we are not interested in territorial expansion!" ”

If China does not want to expand its territory, then why should it go to war with France and seize the three Indochinese countries, and now it seems that China is indeed not optimistic about an alliance with Germany.

In fact, as a veteran German officer, Seckert was also a little unaccustomed to some of Hitler's methods, but he was no longer capable of changing anything.

Seeing off the dying Seckert, Qiao Yu visited Munich and other big cities in succession, and finalized a large number of cooperation agreements, but at this time there was already a rift between China and the Nazi Party.

Qiao Yu's visit is coming to an end, in fact, all countries are also paying attention to this visit, countries are actually very worried that China and Germany will become allies in fact, just when the spirit of the countries is nervous, suddenly a news came out, the cabin of the Chinese starting point suddenly fired, two boilers had problems, and it was no longer possible to sail.

When they got the news, many countries had a hint of joy that China's aircraft carrier was not as powerful as imagined, and that it would go wrong, and that it was a big joke that it went wrong at the juncture of a foreign visit.

Of course, some people have analyzed that the starting point is an old warship, and there will definitely be problems when it goes on a long-distance voyage, and it is normal for a fire to occur now, but fortunately, there is still a Zhenyuan in China that stays in a German port, otherwise the Chinese president's majestic round-the-world voyage will be completely finished.

Soon everyone got the news that the starting point needed to be maintained, and then transported back to China by tugboat, but it was still very difficult to get a big guy of more than 20,000 tons back, so Qiao Yu had decided that the Zhenyuan would leave Germany first, and the starting point would be maintained in Germany for a short time, and then transported back to China.
