Chapter 259: A Huge Deal on
In April 1941, the Hanjing FΓΌhrer's Office Center. Zhang Shusheng has never felt that Yuzi has been so comfortable.
When the war entered the depths and white-heat of the war, the two newly rising economies of China and the United States began to search for wealth around the world.
From Guangxi to the coastal ports of the Shandong Peninsula, it is incredibly busy.
One moment, a cargo ship is heading for Germany with a radar that is very ordinary but the Germans are most in need, and perhaps the next moment a ship loaded with other supplies, even rare earth minerals and anti-aircraft guns, is bound for England.
Of course, there may be a shipload of merchant ships bound for the company, which is loaded with the 99-year-old mountain tank that he urgently needs, because he cannot buy high-quality tank engines from Germany or China, and the latest domestic tanks are still wandering in the factory, and the original tank models are either too heavy in tonnage or too poor in the surname, which cannot meet the needs of the mountainous terrain in Southeast Asia. The import of a Type 99 mountain tank specially made for them from China was used to great effect against Britain and France in Southeast Asia. However, after all, he wanted to save face, and this kind of tank was named Yuben from beginning to end, and even the purchase became 'commissioned production'.
But what does it matter, China is only responsible for collecting money, even if you ask me to sell you tanks under the name of scrap.
The number of things that China sells is unimaginable, such as the huge quantities of chemicals needed by the army, medicines, military cotton, military soap, toothpaste, boots, razors, chocolate, coffee, and cocoa, and China can export hundreds or thousands of tons again and again from its own territory or from its controlled trading companies. From 'commissioned production' tanks, rifles, machine guns, mortars, heavy artillery, and even engines, submarines. As long as you dare to buy, China will dare to sell, except for the Soviets, the British who are currently in a desperate situation and the Germans, who urgently need China to drag the Soviet Union in the East, do not dare to turn their faces against China, let alone the Sino-US trade mutual assistance agreement.
At least for now, Chinese and American merchant ships are safe.
As the scale of the war grew, the British felt more and more pressure, and domestic production could no longer meet the needs of large-scale military expansion.
More than 300,000 people died in Dunkirk, which made the British feel an unprecedented crisis, the officials who advocated the theory of surrender were assassinated at home the next day, the fear of the theory of national extinction, and even the emergence of a British-style Nazi party in the country, under all kinds of pressure, the British political axe led by Churchill has passed the wartime general mobilization decree, the war situation is unprecedentedly severe, and the Nazi European Legion is trying to encircle the whole of Britain.
From the initial expansion of 2 million troops, it quickly increased to a huge scale of 5 million at home and 4 million overseas, and the British made the most strategic decision in history, with India as their most important troop base.
As the army became larger and stronger, the British political axe found itself how ill-prepared it was, from planes, artillery and tanks, to rifles, bullets, boots and even water bottles, all facing huge shortages. The whole of the UK is rushing to produce it, but it still can't keep up with the pace of expansion of the army every quarter, even as many as hundreds of thousands.
The resources that the colonies were transporting to the mainland were subject to damn routes, and unless ships were tried from the direction of the Arctic Ocean, they could be attacked by the Germans' brazen submarines, and the losses were too great for the British to bear.
India's domestic production capacity is particularly low, and the simple military production system is completely insufficient to expand the army. After promising the most generous post-war policy ever to the Indians, India was ready to serve the British with a roar.
After much deliberation, the British finally decided that they would accede to India's request for reading power as long as they could usher in a final victory in the war. This decision directly tied the entire Indian nation to the chariot, and the combat power was unprecedentedly high, and the first batch of newly organized Indian divisions, wielding stockpiled weapons and wearing long skirts that would be used due to the lack of military uniforms, launched a charge in the mountains and forests of Vietnam in batches against their own positions.
At this time, the task of arming the native army and the colonial army was extremely difficult, but it was extremely important.
So, the British, as a matter of course, chose China and the United States. Not to mention the local demand, the first batch of 200,000 people in India's nearly 3 million military expansion target alone, due to the convenience of its geographical location, China has almost won all the armed shares. Merchant ships sailing from the coast of Guangxi and Guangdong, and even from the China-Burma Railway, sent everything from bullets and bayonets to rifles and machine guns to Indians who had just taken off their robes and skirts and had not even had time to shave their beards.
In order to win over Indians, the first batch of 10 million yuan of goods, mainly grain, was also delivered to major Indian ports, which is the first step in the commitment to improve people's livelihood in India.
The Germans pressed forward step by step, the bombing over London every day, and the cross-sea landing that was being deduced all the time made the British panic, and the Americans were slow to send troops, but the Germans pulled up huge Nazi legions in more than a dozen countries in Europe, and the British could only resist with all their strength except to surrender.
It was Churchill's decision to encircle the colonies, train the colonies on a large scale, improve relations with China as much as possible, and maintain supplies at sea. As soon as the French fell, the whole of Southeast Asia was regarded by the British as their war territory, and integrating strategic resources from Southeast Asia to India to fight against the increasingly powerful Nazi legions was the most ambitious strategic plan that the British could make.
If it were not for his own obstruction, a huge strategic belt of pan-Southeast Asia-South Asia would have provided Britain with the strongest overseas impetus, and they could even fight all the way from Africa to the Mediterranean.
"Chairman, I just received information that the special envoy of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill has just concluded a secret conversation with Stalin. The British envoy believed that the Germans would soon launch an attack on the Soviet Union, and hoped that the Soviet Union would cooperate with Britain and change its defensive posture and attack the Nazis on its own initiative. According to the information that the agents of the Secret Service had obtained with great difficulty, the British promised to launch a landing war somewhere in Europe to cooperate with the Soviet attack. β
Su Yuren, the head of operations, made a routine report to Zhang Shusheng with the information he had just received.
Zhang Shusheng smiled and waved his hand, "Let me guess, does Stalin think that the Germans will not attack the Soviet Union, but will arm the Nazi legions in Europe and launch a cross-sea landing war against Britain because of the assassination incident and Hitler's extreme hatred of the British?" Solve the British problem in one fell swoop. β
The Germans were indeed very crazy, and under Zhang Shusheng's various pushes, in a much superior strategic environment than the original history, Hitler's ambitions were more realized, and the whole European territory that was about to be realized, and the British resolute resistance were all necessary to solve in Hitler's plan.
Germany's 10 million troops to be achieved by the end of the year are the most naked manifestation of this ambition, not including the 5 million troops of the Italians, nor the Imperial Army, which is about to reach 7 million troops of another Asian ally.
With a huge army and an unprecedented war machine, it is necessary to start a war to vent its energy, otherwise, any country will be dragged down. Foreign wars, obtaining huge benefits, and realizing the expansion of the nation at a speed of crossing states and seas, this was originally the dream of those emperors in the cold weapon era, but in today's firearms age, it is also the ultimate goal of non-emperor readers.
Originally, in history, due to various reasons, the Germans were strong and capable, and Hitler's ambitions were not rewarded, but now, the arrival of Zhang Shusheng has changed the strategic environment for them and made them see the hope of realizing their dreams.
Larger-scale wars, world wars have turned into civilizational evolution wars of a racial reshuffle. The signs are becoming more and more obvious, the warring parties are far more powerful than they were in history, the hatred between the two sides is also greater, and the scale of the war is no longer controllable.
"Yes, Stalin rejected the request of the British envoy, but said that he would participate in the war at the right time." Su Yuren smiled, the chairman's ability to foresee some things is indeed not comparable to that of himself, the minister of operations.
The Dunkirk victory and the assassination seemed to have violated Hitler's ultimate bottom line, but, as an unprecedented Nazi reader, Hitler's goals were higher and farther, and his personal hatred would always yield to the goals of the Third Reich. They will not spare the British, however, the Soviet talent is their tireless pursuit. A huge country, inexhaustible resources. Even ......" Zhang Shusheng walked to the map, pointed to the map, and said, "Even, if I were Hitler, when he divided the Soviet Union with China, he could even announce the establishment of a real pan-European Third Reich, if the United States did not enter the war, if China and Germany did not go to war, then, the truce planned by Hitler is not far away, maybe, they think that it only takes one year to defeat the Soviet Union, maybe next year can be a complete armistice." β
"The Americans are going to join the war, and they're getting faster and faster. However, the Germans never seemed to have touched their bottom line. Su Yuren said suspiciously.
Zhang Shusheng smiled, the bottom line of the Americans is actually very simple, there are no more than three, first, to launch a war against the United States mainland or colonies such as the Philippines. Second, a sneak attack on the huge Pacific Fleet of the United States, such as the historical attack on Pearl Harbor. Thirdly, Germany will be earnestly preparing to land in Britain.
Any one of these three would allow the Americans to truly join the war, and they would quickly change from trading nations to allies, and their support for the Soviet Union and Britain would change from making money to real support.
At that time, it was the time when China broke out the energy of war that had been hidden for decades, and it was the time when the real world war broke out.
Nowadays, it's just some appetizers.
"It will take time to prove where their bottom line is, but the bottom line of the Jews has been stepped on by the Germans." Zhang Shusheng looked back at Liu Shaoqi, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vice Premier of the State Council, who was sitting there and had been listening to the discussion of several people, "Shaoqi, tell me about the request of the Jews. β
"Yes, Chairman." Liu Shaoqi got up, took out the documents he had prepared for a long time, and began to speak, "Yesterday, we received an official letter from the Zionist Council. In the letter, the newly formed Committee for the Rescue of European Jews wanted to start comprehensive negotiations with us about European Jews. The head of this committee is also an old acquaintance of the chairman, the number two person in the Zionist Council, Gruni. This relief committee consisted of three parties, including the Zionist Council, the World Jewish Merchants Association, and the Pan American Ken's International Trading Company. The delegation led by Gruni will travel from Hanzhong Province to Hanjing in three days on a Hanzhong-Hainan flight. β
"Well, the Jews are really anxious, actually, I am also anxious for them."
Zhang Shusheng This is not a joke, the racial Hitler is about to wield the slaughter knife of the concentration camp, although China needs Jewish talents and is willing to rescue Jews for a fee, it does not mean that Hitler will obediently raise Jews in concentration camps and wait for China to save them.
From a personal standpoint, Zhang Shusheng hopes to save the Jews, no matter what, it is a life. However, from the standpoint of the state, if there are no huge benefits, China will have to pay a huge price out of thin air in order to get back these Jews, which will be a kind of personal will that leads to crime.
After all, this is not a few Jews, nor thousands, tens of thousands of Jews, but Jews who will eventually reach millions. Even if Zhang Shusheng is God, he only opens the door to survival in the sky, but the premise is that the Jews need to climb that high and walk into the door of survival by themselves.
No bleeding is inevitable, the Jews are not bad for money, they do not need to arm the army, they do not need to produce aircraft artillery. They didn't need to face the USSR, said Ben. The United States and even Germany, China is short of money. Then, this rescue should be regarded as their hundreds of years of savings to sponsor China's war operations.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shusheng said, "Our preliminary work, if we put aside attracting Jewish talents, is almost for this unprecedented huge deal, Shaoqi, you are responsible for the preliminary negotiations with the Jews." I'll see Gruni again in a while. β
"Okay, rest assured, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A hundred years ago, Westerners were slave traders, but today, it is the Jews who are begging us to do this big business. Liu Shaoqi said with a smile. It's a dramatic scene, the Jews are known for their vampires, and they have swept almost the entire British and European economy, but today, they are helpless, no amount of money can buy the Jews directly from Hitler, they can only ask China.
"At this time and then, we should pay attention to two issues in our negotiations with the Jews, the first is to let the Jews use their power all over the world, both openly and covertly, to recruit talents for us, and the more the better. The second is to give him a promise, if the deal can be reached, it will ...... in the future" Zhang Shusheng paused and threw out another biggest hole card, "After the war, we support them to build a country." β
Zhang Shusheng knew that the so-called race was a matter of life and death, and that those Jews could not afford it, or at least not so generously, and that the only thing that could really facilitate this unprecedented big deal was this promise, about the restoration that the Jews had dreamed of for thousands of years.
This promise had no effect on China, nor on the post-war period, but it meant a twist of fate for the Jews.
A week later, Zhang Shusheng met with the head of the European Jewish Rescue Committee, the long-time friend of the decades, Gruni, in the Hall of All Nations in Hanjing Mountain.
