Chapter 113

The relationship between the state and the state has been broken and crumpled to see that it is nothing more than two words: "interests." If this interest is mutual, long-lasting, and reciprocal, then friendly relations will be long-lasting. If not, then friendliness is.

The attitude of the United States towards any major country in the world is the same, that is, restrictions! Limit! Limit again! A powerful China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the United States has never wanted to see it! Because this is not in the interests of the United States, the layout in Europe is to overthrow the Versailles system, and the layout in Asia is to turn the Pacific Ocean into an internal lake of the United States. For Americans, Roosevelt's greatness lies in the fact that during World War II, the foundation of the United States as the world's number one power was laid. As for China, it would be good to be a market for American products with peace of mind, not to develop industry, not to do this or that.

If there are words, it's good for everyone to keep them in their hearts, and don't say it. Everyone's face doesn't look good when you say it! The problem is that Fang Jianxiong did just that, so I said it and made it clear. It doesn't matter if you look good on your face or not, why dare you say that? Because Fang Jianxiong has confidence! In fact, this is similar to the later ** dispute, the United States said that it was neutral, and on the other hand, it said that its status was uncertain, and that the security treaty was suitable. Everything is said by the United States, and the truth is in the hands of the United States. Why? Because the United States is the number one power in the world, because the United States uses bandit logic!

Roosevelt's luck was not very good in this plane, because China rose ahead of schedule. After completing the initial construction of the industrial base system, in the turbulent climate of today's world, Fang Jianxiong has enough bargaining chips to get rid of the United States and find other countries to cooperate, which is not an outcome that the United States can accept at all. Once the huge Chinese market is lost, the result that awaits Roosevelt will be one -- step down! Are you still thinking about being re-elected? Dream on! The current United States does not have the confidence to be the world's first power at all!

Until the European question is resolved, before the Versailles system is not **, provoking China is undoubtedly a big trouble. Not to mention the high prestige of Fang Jianxiong in China, it is not something that can be shaken by some unacceptable means. At the time of the penicillin incident, didn't the Americans also play a disgraceful role in it? But the result?

Silent! Silent! Silent! Although Hopkins is a very powerful feeling, the brain is very flexible and reacts quickly! But at this moment he found that his brain was not enough. Negotiating this thing has always been a bargain, how can Fang Jianxiong come up like this and stud, putting on a posture of flipping the table and going back to sleep if he doesn't win! How can we talk about this? Using technological advantages to control China's industrial development, this is originally something under the table, you have to overturn the table, what else is there to say?

Thinking that the relationship between China and Germany is heating up recently, combined with Fang Jianxiong's previous deeds, Hopkins is entangled in his heart, once this visit to China fails, the consequences are not at all what Roosevelt can bear, and Roosevelt will definitely lose in the next election. Over the past 20 years or so, Sino-US relations have been the focus of the US Asian strategy. China, which has long cooperated happily with the United States, suddenly decided not to play with the United States, citing Roosevelt's suppression of China. You must know that the United States is not stronger than European countries in many technological fields, and even lags behind. The technological heritage of old-school powers like Britain, France, and Germany is simply not comparable to that of the United States.

"Your Excellency, please calm down! The United States is a ** country, and it is very difficult to intervene in the behavior between businesses! I came to China this time to enhance mutual understanding. I will accurately convey your suggestions to President Roosevelt. Hopkins struggled to find a sentence that was quite suitable, before coming to China this time, he thought of everything, but he didn't expect Fang Jianxiong to be ready to flip the table. Those people in the intelligence department can really go home to retire, and they haven't noticed such an important move at all.

"Mr. Hopkins, China is also a ****, and the business behavior of enterprises is not something that can be arbitrarily interfered with." After Fang Jianxiong replied with a cold official sentence, he sneered and looked at the other side with bad intentions.

Hopkins felt even more uncomfortable, this guy didn't plan to play his cards according to common sense. The so-called zhèngfǔ does not interfere in the operation of enterprises, that is, everyone just talks about it. The United States has always been a mercenary country, and this kind of character is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of every American. When it comes to interfering in corporate behavior, what country's leader can compare to Fang Jianxiong? The United States zhèngfǔ dare to operate a business is still less? After Roosevelt came to power, he suppressed monopoly and strengthened the state's control over finance. People have double standards, and so do countries. In general, the United States is a country where capital has the final say, China is a little more complicated, and the power of capital is not small, but for now, Fang Jianxiong's personal authority is more powerful. Not to mention that Fang Jianxiong himself is the number one capitalist in China!

Hopkins really doesn't know what to say, please, you're the president of the country, should the body work of flipping the table be done by the people below? It's not right for you to do this, it's not in line with your identity!

At the critical moment, someone came out to save the scene, and Premier Gu Weijun asked to see the president. Fang Jianxiong hummed at this time, and said to the secretary: "Let him come in, it just so happens that I still have something to deal with, and I will leave it to him here." "Hopkins almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, is it okay not to bring such a mess? How can you talk about it when you're gone? Who would have flipped the table over and left? The program is wrong!

"Your Excellency, I ......." Hopkins hurriedly spoke, Fang Jianxiong glanced at him contemptuously, and interrupted him very rudely: "I know what you mean, so let's go back first, the report that should be reported, the research that should be studied, next time I am talking, Premier Shaochuan has something urgent to find me." Whoever is that, send off! "Naturally, that person is Fisher, who has not spoken.

Hopkins, who has always been known for his stability, was dizzy and dizzy by Fang Jianxiong's tricks of not playing cards according to the rules. I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, but I couldn't find an answer, so I could only stand up and say goodbye. When the group came out, they saw Gu Weijun walking inside, and Lao Gu greeted with a smile: "Mr. Fisher, is the talk over so soon?" ”

Fisher smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister will know, what is good about you?" As he spoke, he glanced at a newspaper that Gu Weijun was holding in his hand, and with a radiant look, a fool could see that there was something good.

"Hehe, it's nothing good, it's just ......, that, let's talk about it." Gu Weijun gave Fisher face, put away the telegram and walked in quickly. Hopkins didn't say a word, and after the group got into the car, Fisher came up with a sentence: "This time it's a big trouble, Gu Weijun is rarely so happy." The only thing that can make him so out of shape on this occasion is that the country has gained great benefits, and there is no other reason for this. ”

Hopkins, who was originally resting on closing his eyes, sat up straight and glared: "You mean, China and Germany may form an alliance?" ”

Fisher rubbed his head and said: "I don't rule out this possibility, according to my understanding of China, this country is just dressed in the cloak of **, and it is still an authoritarian society in its bones." Fang Jianxiong's personal prestige can completely influence the country. Germany is constantly testing the Entente and breaking through the bottom line of the Treaty of Versailles. Britain and France have been conniving, and there are reasons for blocking the westward advance of the Soviet revolution, and more because of the problems of Britain and France themselves. Fang Jianxiong was an adventurous man, a nationalist through and through, and he admired Hitler's style. The United States is the only country in the world that has introduced the "Chinese Exclusion Act", don't look at Fang Jianxiong's opening and closing of his mouth is Sino-US friendship, it is because he needs the United States, and he made a gesture out of national interests. This person is jealous of the United States from the bottom of his heart, and he has nothing to do with generosity. To use a Chinese phrase to describe his xìng grid, that is, if you glare at him and bare his teeth at him, he will take revenge. This bastard is not a normal person! ”

Fisher's gritted teeth is true, but it is only understood from a different angle. In front of Fang Jianxiong, Fisher didn't dare to have any resistance at all, this bastard was really too powerful. From Hopkins' point of view, it's a different conclusion. Fang Jianxiong is a very capable person, there is no doubt about that. According to Fisher, this guy is also a crazy man.

"Can you get information on the progress of the Sino-German negotiations?" Hopkins actually asked without any hope, this kind of top secret was not something Fisher had the opportunity to touch at all. Unexpectedly, Fisher nodded and said, "I can give it a try, China is a very strange place." In China, favor is more important than contract! Most of the time, Chinese will first ask acquaintances for help. ”

If Fang Jianxiong heard Fisher's words, he would definitely spray him: "You can blow it." Isn't the United States a humane society? Everything is done according to the contract? Then why do you do it when there is something, and it's not to pull a relationship? The Yankees are hypocritical in their bones, and they obviously have to set up a memorial arch! ”

Gu Weijun did bring good news, and the delegation to Germany sent back good news. The Germans opened their mouths wide and demanded the latest Chinese technology for tanks, airplanes, radars, submarines, and penicillin. Naturally, the Chinese side will not be polite, and all they want are good things, and the petrochemical technology, alloy technology, and jīng dense processing technology that Germany has been unwilling to let go of are all within the scope of China's requirements. Of course, the Germans would also wonder how the Chinese could build high-capacity aircraft, tanks, and cannons without these technologies. However, the Germans soon found the answer, and China took advantage of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the economic crisis that swept the world, and recruited technicians from Eastern Europe, among which the Czech Republic was the hardest hit area. Now there are no less than 10,000 Czechs in the service of China. The Czech Republic, on the other hand, has a habit of using second-rate technology to produce first-class products.

Regardless of what the Germans thought, in line with the principle of exchanging good things, the two sides began to bargain for a pound and a tael. This process is undoubtedly long, but it is also inevitable. Military-technical cooperation is only the beginning, and then it will naturally turn to political cooperation, and maybe even alliances. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence seemed to Hitler to be a deceptive trick. The German side is quite optimistic about the possibility of seeking an alliance with China. The Chinese side has no intention of relenting, but its attitude is very ambiguous, the militaries of the two countries can strengthen military exchanges, and the Chinese side is happy to show the latest equipment and tactics to the German side.

Negotiation is done by others, and communication is the work of the generals. In particular, Raeder, the boss of the German Navy, was unusually positive. The German Navy was now a blank slate, with a few small ships negligible in front of the huge Chinese naval formations. Compared to when Raeder set his sights on battleships, an important figure in the German Navy set his sights on submarines. This German is called Dönitz! Commander of the 1st District Fleet of Submarines of the German Navy.

This powerful naval task force is naturally indispensable for submarines, and they are also two of the latest ocean-going submarines. The indigenous technology of German submarines has not advanced much in recent years, and has even regressed. However, submarine technology has made great progress in the process of cooperation with China, which is inseparable from Fang's enthusiasm for submarines.

The two newest Jiaolong-5 ships, the predecessors of which were naturally German U-boats, were developed on this basis.

On June 18, 1935, Germany signed a restriction agreement with Britain to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles, stipulating that Germany's naval armed forces should be limited to 45% of Britain's. Germany began building submarines in 1935. The Type 2A became the first combat-ready submarine of Nazi Germany, and after entering service, the Type 2A mainly trained excellent crews and provided reliable numbers for later submarine construction. Type 2A is not advanced, with a displacement of only 254 tons on the water, and it is a submarine of the type in question, mainly with power plants and seals.

It is obvious that the German submarines in service are really small compared to the Jiaolong-5 submarines with a displacement of 1850 tons. Although the Rì Mania shipyard is already manufacturing new submarines, and the technicians used are all a group of Germans who have returned from China, there is still a big gap in Germany's submarine technology compared with China, which has long insisted on submarine research and development. This is not a problem of industrial capacity, but a fault in the accumulation of technology.

When Dönitz first saw the Jiaolong-5 submarine, he was fascinated by the submarine, which could carry 20 electro-powered torpedoes. Of course, electro-powered torpedoes look a bit off-the-beaten, and that's not the main problem. What is important is the advanced type of this submarine that is manifested everywhere, and the German submarine forces undoubtedly need this kind of thing. There is a question, Dönitz does not understand very well, that is, how did the Chinese play such a high-tech thing as a torpedo?

This question is actually not difficult to answer, the leader attaches importance to it, and the boss attaches importance to it! (To be continued.) )
