Chapter 140 Oilfield Trading, Reminder!

In December 1937, German Admiral Bob once again commanded a delegation to visit China, compared with the scale of a fleet sent by China, Germany, with a weak navy, could only use a passenger ship to send the delegation to China. In this delegation, there were many familiar faces of Chinese generals, such as Guderian and Dönitz.

Fang Dashuai was very face-saving and personally went to Shanghai to greet the German delegation. When the soldiers were together, they naturally talked about military affairs, and when Bob faced Fang Jianxiong alone, he talked about tanks. "Boss, our No. 4 tank has been copied (T34), and Biel, as the engineer in charge of the imitation, deeply regrets the craftsmanship of your country. It's rough, it's rough. Also, because of the lack of crude oil in Germany, we had to replace it with a gasoline engine with the same horsepower. ”

When it comes to this gasoline engine, Fang Jianxiong is a little tempted, the Germans can build such a high-horsepower gasoline engine, and it is definitely a large tonnage for cars. At present, the maximum load of domestic cars is only two and a half tons, and in that ghost place in the Soviet Union, cars with small horsepower are not easy to use. "Bob, I want this gasoline engine, but I don't want you for nothing, I'll exchange it with you with an important piece of news."

"What's the important news?" Bob showed a vigilant expression, he knew the essence of this boss too well, for the sake of Germany, Bob also tore off his honest face, and looked ready to roll up his sleeves and ask for advice. Fang Jianxiong patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile as he got into the car: "Don't you know me yet?" Have you taken few good things from me over the years? ”

Bob replied solemnly: "Boss, frankly speaking, you have given a lot of good things, but the reward you ask for is also very high. Now I am the head of the German delegation, and I am responsible for the interests of Germany. ”

"You're not bored! Back then, you and Beard embezzled the dividends I sold in Europe, and I never calculated this account with you, and now you are scheming with me? Fang Jianxiong was heartbroken and settled the old score, Bob was unmoved, and continued to keep a straight face: "After the end of the war in Europe." Hundreds of German companies have come to China and brought technology to help China complete the construction of its industrial system. You should be well aware that although only China was able to help Germany on such a large scale at that time, it did not mean that Germany had no other choice. It is precisely because Biel feels that he owes you something that the German company has come to China. Now that the two countries are friendly, you should not worry about Germany, and Your Excellency the Prime Minister very much wants to form an alliance with China, as long as you agree. Everything is negotiable. ”

"Look at you, talking about crooked buildings, right? You're not right, what kind of alliance do you propose for good business? China is not a dictatorship, and it can't be as simple as I say an alliance and an alliance, and I'll tell you ....... Bob raised his hand to interrupt Fang someone's chirping, and asked very seriously: "What is a crooked building?" ”

"Hahaha! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. After snorting, Fang Jianxiong suddenly looked very strict, looked at Bob with sharp eyes, and said, "You really don't want to know the important news I said?" That's an oil field! ”

Bang Dang! Bob was like a thunderbolt in his ears, and he forgot to be in the car excitedly. He stood up violently, and his head slammed into the roof of the car. At that time, it was a gold star in the eyes. The unscrupulous boss not only didn't care about it, but said to Liao Yaoxiang, a high-achieving student of Daoliude, the adjutant in front: "Remember, go back and send someone to check the roof of the car to see if it is damaged, and give the list of repair costs to Admiral Bob." Really, so excited, the landlord's family has no margin. ”

Adjutant Liao was uncomfortable. Turning his head and pretending to look at the scenery outside, he said he didn't hear. Seeing this, Fang Jianxiong said angrily: "Liao Yaoxiang, don't do this adjutant." Tomorrow I will pack up and report to the Eighth Mechanized Army. I don't pay attention to what my boss says, and I get out as far as I want. ”

Liao Yaoxiang heard it very clearly this time, but instead of being afraid, he said with a look of surprise: "President Xie Da is gracious, he finally agreed to let me go to the army, you say, what am I doing in the Eighth Mechanized Army?" ”

"What can you do? First go to Zhang Zhizhong as a staff officer or be a regiment commander, choose one yourself, and tomorrow you will go to the General Staff to go through the formalities, and I will say that I mean it. As he spoke, he saw that Bob had almost returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Bob, my brother, look at how boring I am as a big president, and my adjutants are not willing to stay by my side for one more day." Hey, it's not easy for me, you have to understand my difficulties. China is an agrarian country, and now it is ...... industrial. ”

Bob stared at Fang Jianxiong with murderous eyes, and he had the intention of strangling you if he was verbose. Fang Jianxiong put away the nonsense and said crookedly: "It's really boring, my brother hasn't seen him for many years, and he can't make any jokes." Bob gritted his teeth: "Oilfield!" Where is it? Only if it is true, the technology that Germany has, it is easy to discuss. ”

"That's right, we're all brothers, and it's so boring to bargain like a trader. Forget it, I won't tease you, the oil field is in Bavaria, this is a scientist who studied in Germany, according to the new theory he studied, deduced the geographical structure of Bavaria, and it is likely that there is a Zài oil field. He also told me a specific location, you wait for me to find out. Saying that, Fang Jianxiong took out his pocket, and snatched a note for Bob before he opened it, and after taking a closer look at the address, Bob shouted: "I want a radio station." "Liao Yaoxiang, record it, the telegram fee will charge him 100 yuan per word, and let him shout with the boss."

Liao Yaoxiang can be regarded as seeing the other side of Fang Dashuai, who has always been stern, as a businessman, and feels that today's harvest is too great, and there will be talking points for decades to come. If you think about it carefully, you will be happy, who will believe it, the president, there is such a side. There are more than 20 automobile factories in China, of which only four produce trucks, namely the Sino-US joint venture Dodge Automobile Plant in the Wuhan Special Economic Zone, the Sino-German joint venture Nanjing Automobile Plant controlled by the Nanjing government, the North Automobile Plant in Shenyang, and the JAC Automobile Industry Group of the Eurasia Group in Hefei. The main production is 1.5 tons and 2.5 tons of cars. The only group that can produce five-ton cars, the JAC, has to import all its engines from the United States. With the introduction of German engine technology and production lines, it took two years to build a five-ton car by itself. There is no need to look at the faces of the Americans, the days of pinching the engine exit and you will be blind are over. Speaking of which, the days of looking at people's faces all the time are really uncomfortable for a day. The Germans are also bad, and the last negotiations did not transfer such a high-demand technology as a truck truck.

Bob's excitement had not subsided, and Fang Jianxiong said unhurriedly: "Bob, if you can get oil out this time, then it proves that this scientist's theory is correct, according to his theory." I'll tell you again the location of an oil field. In fact, I am full of confidence in the correctness of this theory, because in China, according to this theory, we have found a large oil field with an annual output of 20 million tons. Unfortunately, China's industry is developing too fast, and the production of oil fields is not enough, and it still needs to import a large amount. And our oil refining technology is not very good, although the Americans reluctantly agreed to give a little technology. But new obstacles are always set up on the exit of the device. Bob waved his hand: "Boss, don't say it, as long as the oil is pumped out this time, Germany will help build a large oil refinery in China, the technology will be free, and the equipment will be at your own expense." ”

Fang Jianxiong barked like a cat stepping on his tail: "You are still not my brother, I sued you for such heavy news, are you embarrassed to charge me for equipment?" No, I'll send a telegram to Hitler and ask him to come with a different head of delegation. ”

The welcome reception was held at the best Eurasia Hotel in Shanghai. When the speech was cut short, Fang sang a high note of peace again. Don't really say it. Fang Jianxiong hooked up with Germany like this, and Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union were very nervous, especially the Soviet Union was the most nervous. Once China and Germany form an alliance, it will be necessary for the Soviet Union to take its own life. One is the most populous country in the world, and the other is a traditional European power with industry several streets away from Germany. China, the current part of these two countries, can basically achieve self-sufficiency even if the industry is poor. If Germany supports a little more, it is really hard to say whether the Soviet Union will be able to withstand the attack from both sides. The conspiracy of the Sino-German alliance must be broken, and this matter was soon decided at the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union. When the German delegation was still in China. Soviet Foreign Affairs Commissar Molotov submitted an application to Germany requesting that the foreign ministers of the two countries meet to discuss international issues of common concern.

Hitler was determined to settle France first, and he was ashamed. During the First World War, Russia withdrew from the war, and Russia, without the support of Britain and France, was not it just a group of gray cattle? It is not a problem, the great enemy is still Britain and France. Therefore, Hitler accepted the Soviet Union's proposal, and the foreign ministers of the two countries first made contact, and then slowly discussed the issue of Soviet-German friendship.

The Soviet Union wanted to sabotage the Sino-German alliance, while Germany wanted to stabilize the Soviet Union, so neither side was at ease, and everyone fooled each other. All in all, the "peace-loving" Stalin and Hitler hit it off, and each felt that the other was a development object that could be deceived. In parallel history, Germany was the one who was deceived, and the Soviet Union was the one who was deceived. Of course, the historical Soviet Union, with the help of American resources, desperately resisted the onslaught of Germany, which is another matter. As far as diplomacy is concerned, Hitler succeeded in deception.

Bob was impatient to send a telegram home, and Hitler, who received the telegram, thought it was a mythical story, how could there be oil in Germany? Wouldn't it have been found sooner? Why did you force the Third Reich to engage in coal-to-oil technology? The oil produced by this technology is much more expensive than imported oil, and if it were not forced to do so, Germany would not have engaged in this technology. Now if an ordinary person sues him, the coal-to-oil technology is redundant, and Germany has oil! No matter what angle Hitler looks at, he must have caught this guy and let the Gestapo severely punish him, so that he could calm down. Let him know that Adolf is not easy to fool, and it has always been Adolf who fools others.

The problem is that the person who said this was in China, and he was the one who spoke of the alliance that Hitler was actively courting. This is another matter, and Hitler was still skeptical, and finally decided to dig a well to see if it was available, and then settle accounts with this liar if he couldn't make it. Without oil, you still want an engine? Beauty doesn't kill you.

So, Guderian led an armored division into a small town in Bavaria, and under the pretext of military needs, all the people in the town were moved, and then a military restricted area was set up within a radius of twenty miles, and a "construction team" drove into the military restricted area and began to drill.

It is not clear whether others believe it or not, but Guderian believed it anyway, because this telegram was sent back by Bob, and it was from President Fang Da to General Bob. If there was anyone in this world who Guderian was completely convinced, that person was Bob. It was His Excellency the Admiral who pioneered the large-scale use of armored clusters in the history of world warfare, and it achieved results. Subsequently, it was Bob, with the German delegation, who studied and explored in China and perfected this set of tactical theories.

Assemble, unfold, break through, break through, hit the void and drill the gap, sweep, the whole theory can

Summed up in the above words, these are the theories that Bob completed in China with a group of moral officials, and there are many things in this set of theories. It was President Fang Da who first proposed it and helped improve it. To sum it up with the ancient Eastern military thought, it is actually four words "wind volcanic forest".

At Bob's insistence, every student at the Military University in Berlin must familiarize himself with the Chinese Art of War. Moreover, when he was in China, Guderian also heard a story told by President Fang Da himself, the former French emperor Napoleon, who read "The Art of War" while imprisoned on an isolated island after the defeat of Waterloo. After reading it, he said that he would not fail to read this book early. And assert that China is a sleeping lion, and once he wakes up, the world will be shocked.

It's hard to say whether this paragraph is true or not, but Guderian believes it, because he saw that the squadron has developed into one of the most powerful Wehrmacht forces in the world in just over 20 years.

With confidence in Bob and President Fangda, Guderian trained patiently in the town, half a month later. Suddenly, an engineer rushed into Guderian's headquarters with a dark and greasy face, repeating incoherently "Oil! Petroleum! ”

Guderian immediately reported to Hitler. Hitler, who received the news, cheered like crazy in the office of the Chancellery: "Oil, oil!" As I said, China is the best ally, the best partner of the Third Reich. Now their scientists' theorists have found oil in Germany, just some of our engine technology is needed. Goering, last time it seemed that you were in the way, talking about the engine technology of the gasoline engine of the car. Is it unwise to transfer to the Chinese? ”

In the face of Hitler's ridicule, Goering could only sneer: "It turns out that the Führer is always right!" Goebbels was secretly furious on the side: this sycophant. Grab Lao Tzu's lines!

Hitler, who was preparing to annex Austria, felt like a tiger with wings after getting the oil field, and immediately called Bob to say that the information was accurate and that a new oil field address was urgently needed. The key to blitzkrieg is to build on air supremacy, and at the same time the dependence on logistics is too great. It is precisely because of this that after the Normandy landings, in the face of the powerful air power of the American army, the Germans had no way to adopt a very coherent blitzkrieg, and the Battle of the Bulge is a typical example. The absence of air supremacy means that there are no logistical supply lines. Of course, without resources, logistical supply lines are a joke. So, Hitler, who was plagued by resources, didn't think much about it at all, wasn't it the technology of the car engine? Give it to him! Isn't it an engine production line? Give it to him!

Soon Bob's call back came, and China's request was to have two engine production lines and a full set of technology, the latest aerospace aluminum alloy material technology. As soon as you get something, give the address. The German side moved quickly this time, and in just half a month, when the delegation was still in China, all the required tasks were loaded into the ship.

The exchanges between the two teams were extensive, and the most in-depth of them was the exchange of the navy. The representative of the navy was Dönitz, the commander of the German submarine forces, who rushed headlong to the Yulin base in Sanya, where he was stationed. Dönitz was attracted not to new submarines, but to a new tactical "wolf pack".

Guderian rushed headlong into the Northwest Military District, the most frontier region of China, with the latest record of competing with the Soviet army. Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the Xinzha Regiment of the Eighth Mechanized Army, was responsible for accompanying Guderian to fly to Dihua first, and then transfer to Almaty, which is where the Eighth Mechanized Army is stationed.

Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the Eighth Mechanized Army, was still very polite when he saw Guderian, but he pinched Liao Yaoxiang's report materials, but he was not too polite, and directly ordered: "First work as a staff officer in the military headquarters for two months, and then go down after being familiar with the situation of the troops." Of course, Liao Yaoxiang couldn't agree, and said with a stiff neck: "Fu Shuai let me come down to be a regiment commander, and it's okay to be a battalion commander without a regiment commander." I studied mechanized warfare in Germany, and after returning to China, I went to Baoding for three months to study. The score was the first in the school, and he was favored by Fushuai. ”

"I'm not old, I'm not squeamish. Execute the command! Zhang Zhizhong didn't give him a good face, and gave an order with a straight face, Liao Yaoxiang could only stand up and say: "Yes, carry out the order!" The grizzled Liao Yaoxiang left, and Guderian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Liao is a very good soldier, and his academic performance in Germany is excellent. ”

Zhang Zhizhong said lightly: "In my opinion, academic performance is very important, but more importantly, he must first learn to obey orders." ”

Guderian was clever and immediately said: "My companions, my companions, as the most ordinary members of your army, will promise to resolutely obey any orders of the general. Zhang Zhizhong shook his head with a smile and said: "You guys are not like this, there happened to be an exercise recently, so I will help the staff first." Make a drill plan and take a look. Speaking of which, General Bob of your army is also my teacher. ”

Guderian, who has a good talent for languages, immediately said: "Then we are senior brothers!" ”

Zhang Zhizhong laughed, in fact, he welcomed the Germans to discuss tactics together, and the Germans were actually ahead in this regard, which was said by President Fang Da. It is not that the Chinese are inferior to the Germans in theoretical research, but that the soldiers determine the superiority of the German army in mechanized combat. The current Northwest Military District, in order to make up the soldiers of the Ninth Mechanized Army. The world is still scouring the graduates of various high schools. At the beginning, ten

Eight years old is the minimum age, let alone eighteen years old now, sixteen years old as long as you graduate from secondary school, and the last to consider primary school graduates.

The requirements of the technical arms for soldiers are really not a joke. For example, artillery observers, real needs to be calculated, you have to understand trigonometric functions, right? The problem is, if this observer unfortunately dies, there will be no one to command the artillery, right? So. In the course of military training, Zhang Zhizhong repeatedly stressed that as much as possible more soldiers should master some common sense of artillery. And this mechanized troops. The requirements for personal literacy are not only reflected in artillery calculations, but also in the fact that many veterans of the original infantry were eliminated because they were uneducated. Under normal circumstances, it is an indisputable fact that educated soldiers learn everything faster than those who are uneducated. Therefore, it is impossible to overstate the correctness and importance of universal compulsory education.

After Guderian and more than a dozen other German officials joined. It is proposed that the staff officers of both sides each draw up a plan, and then compare it against each other to see what is good and what is bad. Zhang Zhizhong agreed to this mention. Three days later, according to the information provided by the intelligence department, the two ** people each came up with a battle plan, and the goal was to gather and destroy a frontal imaginary enemy.

The plans of the two sides were released almost at the same time, but after the comparison, they were much the same, and when they studied tactics together, the teachers would be similar. However, there are still differences between China and Germany, and the Chinese staff officers emphasize more on the way to seize air supremacy through the powerful combat effectiveness of fighter jets and the airdrop of paratroopers to strategic points behind enemy lines. The German army placed more emphasis on launching a surprise attack, trying to create the suddenness of the battle, and destroying the enemy's air power at the airfield in a sudden manner, and also emphasized the dispatch of special operations squads to blend in behind enemy lines in advance, and to carry out large-scale attacks to sabotage and create chaos.

A slight dispute broke out between the two sides on this issue, and the staff officers of the Chinese side stressed that sending special operations forces without a declaration of war is itself a violation of international conventions and an undeclared war. The German staff officers believed that as long as they could win the war, they would care what means they had.

Zhang Zhizhong did not say anything about this matter, but quietly packed up the two documents and the quarrel records and sent them to the General Staff Headquarters in Beijing. After Xu Shuzheng got this material, he immediately found President Fang Da. Regarding tactical matters, President Fang Da is indeed more authoritative. Fang Jianxiong was silent for a long time after reading these materials, and said in his heart that the set played by the Germans is indeed very powerful. And historically, in the early stage of the Soviet-German war, the fifth column turned the rear of the Soviet Union upside down.

"If you don't declare war, don't study. However, it is worth learning the trick of sending special forces in advance, infiltrating in makeup, and waiting for the outbreak of war before sabotage. In the future, our special operations forces should strengthen training in these areas. The main focus is on language and understanding the habits of the opponent's life. ”

Not to mention Fang Jianxiong's attitude, the Germans also summed up afterwards and believed that the plan of the Chinese staff officers was also worth learning from. The large-scale use of airborne troops in strategic locations behind enemy lines is worth learning. The German airborne forces also had them, but they had not yet developed a set of effective tactics. On the contrary, in this regard, the Chinese side took the lead and developed a glider in a very targeted manner, which was dragged by a transport aircraft. Guderian soon offered to build yì to visit the Chinese paratrooper units.

Bob, who remained in Beijing, immediately made a request. Fang Jianxiong couldn't refuse, after all, there was still a big deal to do, so he agreed to Bob's request and personally accompanied him to Kulen to visit the 1st Airborne Division stationed here. Don't think that Marshal Fang is a conscience, it is really the German army during World War II, and the paratroopers used it miserably. In the spirit of creating more bloodshed for Britain, France and the United States, Fang Dashuai reluctantly agreed to Bob's request, and sighed secretly in private: "This deal is a loss." ”

Bob quickly found out the shortcomings of the German paratroopers from the visit, first of all, the requirements for the airdrop site, the Chinese side was very strict, there was no suitable parachute landing site, and there was no paratrooper at all. The second was equipment and firepower, and one of the 1st Division of the Paratroopers could improvise a piece of material on flat ground that would allow them to land on an airfield for small transport planes, which caught Bob's attention.

After this equipment is airborne, it takes only two hours to build a temporary airfield, and although the load of the small transport aircraft is only two and a half tons, it can already send light artillery of caliber 75 to the parachute landing site. There is also the Minsan assault rifle (AK-47 knockoff) that makes Bob blush, with great range and firepower. Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong let this side hide the RPG bazooka in advance, otherwise Bob would definitely not let it go if he saw it. RPG bazooka, this is the killer weapon of the Chinese Army, once it starts fighting, this thing is everywhere, it is simply a nightmare for the opponent's tanks and firepower points. Especially in the paratrooper unit, Fang Jianxiong was perverted to the squad level, and the maximum firepower was only 120 mortars.

After the visit, Bob asked Fang Jianxiong a serious question: "Boss, why does your army's equipment look very rough in terms of manufacturing process?" The accuracy of this assault rifle is a little worse, and there is a tank, which is too rough in craftsmanship. We've made the appropriate improvements and it looks much prettier. ”

Fang Jianxiong scoffed when he heard this, and sneered: "The last time Germany made the same mistake in the European war, thinking that it would win quickly. This time, I think you're going to make the same mistake again. Once the war broke out, it was destined to be a protracted war. Our tank craftsmanship is a bit rough, but have you thought about it?

Yes I used the time you spent building one tank to build two or even three tanks, did you consume me? Germany, does it have so many resources to consume? ”

This answer made Bob fall into deep thought! The craftsmanship of German products is really not said, keep improving! But the world war, how can there be time for you to keep improving! Stalin just drowned the Germans with a sea of rough goods! Lao Tzu is fighting with you, you have no way, right?
