In the hall on the first floor of the Krupp villa, Luo Yaoguo, An Sihua, Lu Ming and those German [***] nationalists were sitting down separately, and a few cups of steaming fragrant coffee were brought up by the servants.

The people who can sit in this room are all top figures in Germany, and they are well aware of the current situation in the world and the awkward position that Germany finds in.

Now only the last vestiges of the glory of the British Empire remain. This empire had actually been crushed by Germany in the last world war. It only barely survived due to US interference, and it has survived until now. Although on the surface, the British Empire still holds the shelf of world hegemony, but in reality this shattered empire is sinking all the time, and everyone knows that the final collapse of this empire is not far off. The world's emerging powers are now eyeing the British Empire's rich legacy, right? In fact, Germany was undoubtedly the first country to join the battle for its legacy, but it was a bit too early. As a result, this scoundrel was firmly bound by the damned Treaty of Versailles.

And now...... The British Empire really looks like it's going to die, as long as there is a strong challenger to deliver the final blow, and then everyone can prepare knives, forks and plates for this feast of dividing the world! So now these German militarists are in a hurry! If you don't smash the Treaty of Versailles quickly, you will miss the feast of dividing up the world.

At this time, Luo Yaoguo's mind was also constantly pondering the changes in the world situation before and after World War II, wanting to find a little opportunity to fight a real turnaround battle for his country. For this reason, he is already ready to cooperate with these demons in front of him, and he doesn't know the final ...... Is there any good news?

To be honest, the deck of cards in Luo Yaoguo's hand was even worse than Hitler's. First of all, China is not yet a unified country, and there is simply no way to unify it in the short term. Although the Kuomintang had a certain military advantage, it was not enough to overwhelm the various factions in the north, especially since they still had strong backing behind them.

Second, there is no way out of China's social contradictions, and the KMT does not have the ability or financial resources to extend its rule to the lowest level, which would mean employing millions of civil servants and party workers. The Kuomintang simply did not have the financial resources to pay their salaries, let alone the Kuomintang paying the salaries of millions of party workers. Therefore, the Kuomintang without grassroots power was simply unable to solve the land problem in rural China, and the rapid growth of industry continued to produce the proletariat. Those...... It is said that he is a bourgeois gravedigger!

In the end, China's heavy industry base is so weak that it almost has to be built from scratch! To build a well-established heavy industry system in just a decade, it would be desirable that China would also have a leading edge in certain key areas. Only in this way will it be possible for China to participate in the feast of dividing up the world in a situation of disunity, and then it will be able to use the benefits it has shared to divert domestic contradictions......

"Dear gentlemen, let us talk openly and honestly." Luo Yaoguo put down the small coffee cup in his hand, smiled slightly, and spoke fluent English: "For countries like China and Germany, time is really precious, and it is no longer allowed to be wasted in meaningless mutual temptations. Let me begin with our request, that we want Germany to help us build a perfect system of heavy industry and military industry, and that in at least ten years we will be close to the original in military industry other than shipbuilding. To this end...... We are ready to provide all possible assistance for the rearmament and rise of Germany, and we can agree to whatever you can think of. ”

The Germans glanced at each other, but still couldn't see any change in their expressions. I don't know what's going on in their hearts. This time, speaking on behalf of the German side was a veteran German soldier sitting on a sofa in the middle of the hall, with the rank of general. The body is straight, the old face is pretending to be iron-blooded, and there is a reading glasses on the right eye, which is the kind of glasses with one lens, and the eyes hidden behind the lenses exude sharpness and gloom.

"I am General of Infantry, Commander of the Imperial Army Command, von Brown. Zecht. "It turned out that he was the famous Zeckert, and the old general could also speak English fluently. He nodded and said, "We can consider your request, with the scientific and technological strength and heavy industry strength of the German Empire, it is no problem for you to get close to the level of the Japanese in ten years." ”

This is ...... I'm not bragging. In fact, Germany was indeed leading in science and technology before World War II, and it should have been more advanced than the United States. And it is said that Ben is just a small late-developing power, and it has just started for a long time, and it is not very advanced. Historically, in order to build Yamato-class warships, Xiao Yueben deliberately spent a huge amount of money to import a batch of technical equipment from Germany, which shows that Germany is not weak in shipbuilding technology, but it has no experience in building aircraft carriers.

Feng. Zekett glanced at Luo Yaoguo with some smugness, as if he wanted to see an ecstatic expression on his face. What I saw was also a dead face without joy or anger. The somewhat disappointed old general raised his chin coldly and reservedly: "But the empire will not help you in vain. As you say, the rise and rearmament of Germany also requires the full assistance of China.

First, the German Empire needs China's abundant reserves of non-ferrous metals, which will be used to pay part of the cost of the machinery and technology you have acquired, at prices according to the standards of the international market. And you also need to refine these metals according to our requirements, and we will provide the technology and equipment. Because only in this way can these things be quietly transported into Germany.

Second, we will establish a joint venture aircraft manufacturing plant, including a large wind tunnel for R&D and testing centers. In the future, this aircraft factory will be responsible for the development and manufacture of the latest models of military aircraft, and all the research and development costs must be shared between the two of us, and of course the technology can be shared, but you cannot leak these technologies to third parties.

Third, we will set up a joint venture shipyard to build submarines and other military vessels. The shipyard will also be responsible for the development of new military vessels, and all research and development costs must be shared by both parties, and the technology can also be shared, and you cannot leak the technology to third parties.

Fourth, we will establish a joint venture tank manufacturing plant, including a large test site and shooting range...... And you must also assemble an armored force with our help to test the tank's ability.

Fifth, all R&D projects, including aircraft, submarines, ships, and tanks, must be under the overall responsibility of German personnel.

Sixth, the training of the navy, aviation units, and armored units of the Chinese Nationalist Axe, as well as the training of officers of these units, must be attended by German affairs advisers. In addition, German officers and non-commissioned officers were also required to participate in the training of these units and in the training of the officer academy in order to help the Wehrmacht reserve the corresponding talents.

Seventh, half of the naval vessels, including submarines, produced by the Sino-German joint shipyards, were purchased by the Wehrmacht at cost price when needed. The Sino-German joint venture aircraft factory also had to receive secret orders from the Wehrmacht when needed by the Wehrmacht. This condition would automatically be nullified after the completion of Germany's rearmament.

Eighth, we will set up a joint expert committee to be responsible for the implementation of the above provisions and to help China establish a sound heavy industry system.

These are the requirements of the German Reich, and as soon as you agree, we can sign a treaty of cooperation. I believe that as long as we can work together, our two countries will have a rightful place in the world in the future. ”

The two sides will jointly develop advanced weapons such as aircraft, submarines, ships, and tanks, and the Nationalist Axe will bear half of the expenses for the German Wehrmacht, reserve talents for the German Wehrmacht, such as navy, air force, and armored forces, and finally provide them with ships and aircraft sufficient to protect themselves before Germany is rearmed. This is the price that the national axe has to pay for its heavy industrial system...... Compared to the "Korean War" in another time and space, these costs are not heavy.

Luo Yaoguo sighed lightly, and finally couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face: "We agree to all the conditions you put forward, it's just ...... There is a small request. We need some aircraft and ships that can adapt to the Chinese battlefield, so I hope to be able to put forward corresponding requirements for the development of aircraft and ships. ”

"Yes." Feng. Zekett didn't think much about it, so he agreed to Luo Yaoguo's request, and his decision may have unexpected effects in the future......

The trip to Germany was a success!

On the way to Berlin to meet President Hindenburg, Luo Yaoguo always had a satisfied smile on his face. Only now has the construction of heavy industry in South China really been on track. A copy of the "Sino-German Secret Treaty" with the fragrance of ink is now lying in the leather bag that Luo Yaoguo carries with him. Comprehensive military and industrial cooperation between China and Germany has already begun.

Lu Ming is now officially the chief representative of the Chinese side of the Sino-German Expert Committee on Heavy Industry Cooperation, and will be responsible for the introduction of heavy industry technology from Germany together with Chinese and German experts, and these projects will have special steel and steel plates and 10,000-ton hydraulic presses for China Iron and Steel in the future. A large coal liquefaction base in Qujing, Yunnan Province (equipment will be transferred through the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway), a Sino-German joint venture for aircraft, submarines, and tank factories. Aluminum smelters in Guangxi, copper smelters in Jiangxi, mines and smelters of tin, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, zinc, magnesium and other important non-ferrous metals. There are also a series of cooperative or joint venture industrial enterprises such as electronics, optics, wood processing, fertilizers, machinery, etc
