Chapter 481: German-style equipment
After pacifying Liu Jianhua, Qiao Youhua returned to the regiment headquarters and asked the guards to find the political commissar Guo Meng, telling her that she was going to Lingshou and let her sit in command of the regiment headquarters.
Qiao Youhua's call back to the first battalion just now was to ask Jiang Haidong to suspend his action and wait for his arrival to help him.
Guo Meng learned that they were going to attack Xingtang and capture war horses and cavalry equipment to rebuild the cavalry troops, so he naturally agreed, but he just told Qiao Youhua to pay attention to safety, so he didn't say anything.
Qiao Youhua simply cleaned up and was about to leave, when suddenly the guards came to report, the German Adru asked to see him, and Qiao Youhua asked the guards to bring him in.
Adru's face was happy, but when he saw Guo Meng still standing next to Qiao Youhua, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing his concerns, Qiao Youhua raised his hand and signaled: "It's okay, Mr. Adru, this is my closest partner, just say anything, don't treat her as an outsider." ”
Guo Meng, who was standing on the side, pouted, who is intimate with you.
Adru said happily: "Dear Mr. Qiao, I really have very good news to tell you, so I can't wait to come to you, and I'm very sorry if I disturb you." ”
Qiao Youhua was in a hurry to leave, but he really couldn't stand his long-winded German, so he interrupted directly: "Mr. Adru, you didn't bother me, if there is anything, you can quickly say it directly, I still have important things to do, otherwise it will really delay my time!" ”
"Okay, Mr. Qiao, our previous negotiations, your request for a deal, our great Führer has agreed, and in order to show his generosity, our Führer has also decided to assist you with a batch of German-style weapons, just like supporting you Chairman Chiang to form a German armourer!
We can send military instructors to help you train your troops, and we can also provide weapons and ammunition for free. Adru said excitedly, and when he first got such a reply, Yadru was also a little surprised.
But after talking to his colleagues and analyzing the phone, Adru understood that the Führer was anti-Semitic, and that some people were willing to accept these Jews who were obstacles in the eyes of the Führer, and were willing to provide more advanced tank and combat vehicle designs, which was a great benefit in the Führer's view.
There was no reason not to agree, so Hitler, an arrogant guy, not only readily agreed, but also decided to show his generosity by giving Qiao Youhua a batch of German-style weapons and equipment for free, and helping him secretly train and form a German-style infantry division.
From this point of view, it seems that Qiao Youhua did not suffer a loss, but Hitler's think tanks still felt that the Führer was too generous, and the generosity was a bit of a loss, so they persuaded Hitler to add a proviso.
Qiao Youhua was so smart that he naturally understood that there was no free lunch in this world, and said with a smile: "Mr. Adru, are there still some prerequisites?" ”
Yadru was stunned, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Qiao, you are really smart, our Führer's requirements are not high, as long as you are willing to continue to cooperate with us in the future and provide us with more advanced weapons and equipment design drawings or design concepts."
We will provide your troops with at least 100,000 German equipment, all free of charge. ”
Qiao Youhua thought for a while, and said: "That's it, Mr. Adru, you help me reply to your Führer, Mr. Hitler, I agreed to his request, but there is no need for military instructors and secret assistance in our training, and I don't need as many weapons and equipment as I need for a hundred thousand troops."
Just provide me with a batch of MG34 general-purpose machine guns, MP38 submachine guns, 37mm anti-tank anti-tank anti-aircraft guns, and sufficient ammunition.
Finally, I would like to make a request, I hope that you can help me build an arsenal that can produce the above three types of weapons and their ammunition, these are light weapons and small-caliber artillery, for your militarily powerful country, I think it should not be a difficult thing, right? ”
Qiao Youhua understands all these truths about the unified caliber of weapons and the reduction of logistical pressure, but at present, the whole of China, especially its own anti-Japanese base areas, wants nothing and nothing, and what kind of unified caliber is not too early?
Therefore, it is necessary to establish it first, and only then can we strive for excellence, learn from the strengths of others, and develop a military industry with Chinese characteristics.
Therefore, Qiao Youhua is now a person who does not refuse to come, German-style equipment, Anglo-American, French-style equipment, and Soviet-style equipment, including their weapons production lines, equipment and technology, and they will never let it go if they have the opportunity.
Yadru obviously didn't expect Qiao Youhua to make such a request, this is not something he can agree to, and smiled apologetically at Qiao Youhua: "Mr. Qiao, I still have to report your reply back to China before I can give you an accurate answer." ”
"That's fine, I'll be patient." Qiao Youhua shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Okay, I'll take my leave." Adru bowed his head in respect and turned to leave.
"You want so many things, can the Germans agree? And what were the conditions you talked about earlier? After Yadru left, Guo Meng asked with a question.
"Don't worry, what I'm talking about is something that we urgently need at the moment, but for Germany, which has greatly improved its national strength and is about to reach its peak, it is not worth mentioning at all. They will fully agree, but it is rare that these things should be transported to our base safely and smoothly. Qiao Youhua paused,
Then he said: "But now I'm also working hard to solve this problem, no, I'm leaving, good partner, you have to take care of your home." After speaking, Qiao Youhua stepped forward and planned to leave.
In fact, it is true that the MG34 general-purpose machine gun is only the predecessor of the MG42 general-purpose machine gun, which began to be mass-produced to equip the German army as early as 1935, and it is not a new weapon for the Germans at all.
Although the MP38 submachine gun is much more advanced than the MP18 submachine gun, using a folding stock and a combination of plastic and aluminum alloy as the gun body, it is not a secret weapon that cannot be disclosed.
As for the 37mm anti-tank gun, also called a war defense gun, the Germans had long exported and sold it to Lao Chiang to equip the Central Army. Compared with the advanced tank design drawings provided by Qiao Youhua, the Germans, who attached more importance to the ground armored assault force, would definitely not disagree.
However, if these three German-style weapons can be equipped with the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, in addition to the navy, in the weapons and equipment of other arms, the German army is absolutely completely small Japan, throughout World War II, you can see how big the gap between the level of weapons and equipment of the Eastern and Western countries is.
Whether it is artillery fire, air combat, or infantry combat firepower of the ground army on the European battlefield, the density and scale of the scale are much greater than those in the Asian theater with China as the main battlefield.
