Chapter 374: Long live the Soviet-German friendship

Yu Qiaqing hurriedly took out a notebook from the table and said, "This is Mr. Chen Jiageng asked me to transfer to you, we have even Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces this year, although the Chongqing government tried not to publicize, but it still caused a great sensation abroad, the Nanqiao Association learned from Chen Jiageng that we are building heavy industry, very excited, Mr. Chen Jiageng recruited a large number of heavy industry workers in Nanyang, and also opened relevant schools in Nanyang to train workers, originally according to Mr. Chen Jiageng means Chongqing and our Yan'an are half of one person, It's a pity that Chongqing doesn't want these workers at all, after all, Chongqing doesn't even have materials, and it's useless to ask for them, so they are replaced by a car team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow these more than 5,000 industrial workers are ready to come to Yan'an, this is the list, but the question is how to get over. ”

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Really? That's really great, what we need most now are these skilled workers, 5,000 people, it's a little difficult to come over, so from Fujian to Jiangxi, the New Fourth Army will be responsible for escorting them to Shandong, then from Shandong to Hebei, and finally into Shanxi, and I will immediately go and report to the chairman. ”

Yu Qiaqing saw Jiang Cheng's excited appearance, and couldn't help but say proudly, "That's it, we have a lot of effort on these people, and some of the students we send to study abroad will graduate next year, and we also have to consider whether to let them further their studies or let them return to China." ”

Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Let them continue their studies, we are not short of money, now there is still a war in the country, and there is no good environment when we come back, so it is better to learn more, why did you graduate so quickly?" Isn't it only two years? ”

Yu Qiaqing smiled and touched his beard and said, "Our children are very hardworking, they all know their mission, they are learning in foreign countries, once someone slacks off, they will be blamed by everyone, so most of them have spent two years learning the content of four years." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded with a sigh and said, "These people will become the main force of our scientific research in the future, okay, then I'll go see the chairman first." ”

When Chairman Mao learned of this, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately sent a telegram to all troops along the way to put this matter at the best level, and at this time, the industrial workers of the Eighth Route Army had formed several large groups of Jews, overseas Chinese in Europe and the United States, European and American workers, and local workers, who intersected and learned from each other, making the industrial force of the entire Red Zone develop rapidly.

--Berlin

Hitler looked at Ishihara Waner on the other side with some annoyance, and from the bottom of his heart, Hitler did not look down on Japan very much, and even had some disgust with Japan.

After Japan attacked China, in order to win over Germany, it specifically proposed what China could provide to Germany, and Japan could also provide it after occupying China.

At that time, the Chinese army was defeated and retreated, the German armament division was lost, the southeast, Hebei Pingjin plastered land into the hands of the Japanese army, Hitler could not see any hope of victory in China, during the Battle of Wuhan, Hitler also announced the recognition of Manchukuo, and the relationship with the Chinese government was basically severed, I thought that Japan would really provide enough resources to himself as promised, but who would have thought that Germany needed the most tungsten ore, Japan itself did not hit the main mining area, can only mine in the corners, and the tungsten ore obtained is not enough, let alone provide it to Germany.

Moreover, in Hitler's mind, the Germans have always been the noblest race, and the Asians and other races are inferior races, but in the Japanese theory, the Japanese are the descendants of God, and this conflict of views can be said to be a quarrel between the two people.

Ishihara bowed and said, "Honorable Führer, on behalf of the Emperor of the Imperial Japanese Empire, we offer you our sincerest greetings. ”

Hitler nodded and said, "Thank you, I wish him good health, what is the matter with your visit this time?" ”

Ishihara waved his hand, Seshima stepped forward and handed a stack of materials to the guards next to him and said, "This is the information we collected, we suspect that your country's Skoda Arsenal is secretly assisting China's Yan'an Eighth Route Army, which is a branch of the Red International in China to form a red army, originally basically without any technical equipment, but in the past year, it has obtained a large amount of technical equipment, including tanks, heavy artillery, aircraft, etc., a large part of which is from the Škoda Arsenal, We have every reason to suspect that the Škoda plant has been infiltrated by the Red Forces, and in accordance with the International Anti-Red Agreement signed between our two countries, I hope that the Führer will be able to take stock of this arsenal. ”

Hitler frowned and flipped through the materials, looked at them and couldn't help but smile, patted the materials and said, "Our Japanese friends, can't such a force deal with it?" As I said before, although China is big, it is not worth mentioning, well, it seems that they still have some advantages. ”

Sejima Ryuzo wanted to have a seizure when he heard this, but was pulled by Ishihara Waner, Ishihara Waner bowed his head and said, "These Red Army are very good at guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, of course, the most important thing is that the main force of our imperial army is dealing with the army of the puppet government of Chongqing, China, and the Yan'an troops are fighting against some second- and third-line troops, my Führer, in any case, it is true that Skoda is suspected of being red, and I hope that the Führer can give us an answer to this matter." ”

Hitler rubbed his forehead, he already knew the secret relationship between Jiang Cheng and Yan'an, not to mention the weapons that appeared in the Yan'an army, there were many Yan'an Red Army officers and soldiers who were still training in his Wehrmacht alone, and so what, not to mention that he didn't want the Japanese to focus on China, and even he himself was ready to sign a cooperation agreement with the Soviet Union. But considering that Japan had just fought a big war with the Soviet Union, and that it was constantly sending notes hoping to cooperate with itself in dealing with the Soviet Union, I was not going to tell Japan.

Hitler said, "I know about this, and I will investigate it thoroughly." As he spoke, he looked at Ishihara Wan'er with his hands behind his back, looking like a send-off.

Ishihara couldn't help but be surprised, he thought that Skoda's aid to China was only because it was infiltrated or something, but now it seems that the German government knows the truth completely.

Ishihara said firmly, "This matter will definitely be investigated by our Great Japanese Empire, so please." With that, he turned around and left.

When Ishihara left, Hitler became more and more angry the more he thought about it, why did he take the blame for Jiang Cheng, Hitler picked up the phone and shouted, "Let Jiang come to see me immediately, what?" He's already here? ”

Before the words fell, Jiang Cheng opened the door and came in and said with a smile, "My Führer, what makes you so angry." ”

Hitler snorted, "Ginger! Tell me, are you secretly aiding the Yan'an Red Party in China again? Don't you know that we are enemies of the Red Party? ”

Jiang Cheng snorted and said, "So the empire is ready to sign a non-aggression pact with the enemy?" ”

Hitler's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Jiang Cheng and said, "How do you know?" Jiang, I know you're very capable, but don't test my trust in you. ”

The guard next to him stepped forward and was about to catch Jiang Cheng, but Hitler yelled at the guard, "What do you want to do?" Get out!! ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and broke free of Hitler's hand and said, "Okay, my Führer, do you think there are still fewer people who know about this?" Britain and France probably don't know, but I can assure you that Japan already knows, especially that Ishihara, you can go and investigate whether there have been many suspicious figures near the Soviet ambassador recently, and besides, do I still need to doubt my friendship with the Empire, when did I not think from the perspective of the Empire? ”

Hitler hummed and said, "Well, of course I believe you, you know, we cooperate a lot, in Africa, in the military industry, in medicine, we are cooperating in many places, but you are not us Germans after all, but I am still on your side at a critical moment, this time the Japanese came to question the matter of Skoda, and I will help you go back." ”

Jiang Cheng smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you Führer, you can rest assured about the Red Army problem in Yan'an, they are not from the Soviet Union, to be precise, I only helped them because I think only they can lead China to prosperity and strength." ”

Hitler didn't care who was in charge of China at all, and he could still sell a good thing to the Soviet Union in this matter, but seeing Jiang Cheng so frank, he was still very happy and said, "Very good, Jiang, I like your confession, I heard Krupp say, your ideas have always been very advanced, and Dönitz also told me that you have a new submarine manufacturing method, everything you do, I see it in my eyes, you know, it is because of you that the empire has not officially formed an alliance with Japan." ”

Jiang Cheng scoffed at this statement in his heart, and the key reason why Germany and Japan have not yet completely formed an alliance is that Japan hopes to form an alliance with the Soviet Union as an imaginary enemy, while Germany hopes to form an alliance with Britain and France as an imaginary enemy, and this is the real reason why Germany and Italy are now signing the "Steel Treaty" but have not signed a contract with Japan.

Hitler probably found Jiang Cheng and didn't believe it in his heart, and instead said, "By the way, you Skoda has received a lot of orders this time, especially your Wolf anti-tank vehicle, which is very popular and has been booked by many countries." ”

Jiang Cheng hurriedly complimented, "Aren't these also to win glory for the empire, we always remember that Skoda was first Germany's arsenal, and then our arsenal." ”

Hitler was very satisfied with Jiang Cheng's answer, and said, "Okay, you can eat with me tonight, I heard that your China has started a major counteroffensive, and I am looking forward to the end." ”

Jiang Cheng scratched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I'm a little impatient this time, the results probably won't be great, but I believe that the victory will definitely belong to us in the end." ”

Hitler shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hopefully, but a country without its own industry cannot be truly strong, and I hope you will remember that." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Of course."

――

Ishihara was in the car and slammed the saddle.

Ryuzo Sejima turned around and asked, "General, what should we do?" Hitler seemed to be very protective of Skoda. ”

Ishihara nodded and said, "That's right, I'm afraid Hitler knows everything, damn it, it's better not to have such an ally, Hitler is here to curry favor with the Soviet Union, but we can't just forget it, at least we have to get something, hehe, it's worth our trip this time, the situation in Europe is going to change greatly." ”

Ryuzo Sejima said worriedly, "If Germany and the Soviet Union form an alliance, will the Soviet Union attack Manchuria?" Zhukov's troops are still massing in the Far East. ”

Ishihara said with a smile, "Don't worry, Stalin will never dare, the alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany is only temporary, Stalin is afraid that he will be more defensive against Germany, and focus on Europe, Manchuria is already safe, we can find a way to solve the Chinese problem first." ”

-- In a conference room in a high-class hotel in Berlin

After seeing the German military might, Molotov and Ribbentrop finally shook hands, and Goering, Himmler and others, who had come to witness this moment, applauded, and a treaty that would later be called the darkest and most evil was signed.

As early as when Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Germany had a heart-to-heart relationship, but due to the later insertion of Britain and France, it ended in nothing, and even the estrangement between the two countries deepened, and now, the two most powerful countries on the European land are ready to cooperate, and their goal is Poland, which is sandwiched between the two countries.

In accordance with the agreement, the two sides pledged not to use force, aggression or attack against each other, either alone or in association with other States. If one side is at war with a third country, the other side shall not give any support to the third country. The parties also undertook not to participate in any group of States that directly or indirectly opposed another State party. and promised to settle any dispute between the parties by peaceful means. The agreement is valid for ten years.

But this was only a superficial clause, in the secret agreement the two countries initially reached an agreement on the partition of Poland, and Germany recognized the special interests of the USSR in the three Baltic states. At the same time, Germany will export a large number of industrial products, such as machine tools, to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union will export a large number of resources such as oil, ore, etc. to Germany, and the contract value of the first batch will exceed 200 million Reichsmarks. Such contracts will continue to be added in the future.

Molotov smiled and raised his glass, "Maybe yesterday we still had misunderstandings, but from today the situation has changed, we will become brothers of mutual assistance, our two countries will develop along the line of strengthening friendly relations, expanding practical cooperation and political efforts for peace, we have always believed that a strong Germany is an indispensable condition for lasting peace in Europe." ”

Ribbentrop also raised his glass and said: "It is soon the birthday of the great leader Comrade Stalin, and I believe that our agreement will be one of the best birthday gifts he has received in his life, and I wish Führer Hitler eternal health and Comrade Stalin a long life." ”

Everyone shouted: "Hitler's Führer is in good health, Comrade Stalin has no borders." ”

-- Berlin Chancellery

Hitler shook his head and said, "That's it, according to our investigation, it was the Soviets who stole the technology of Skoda, you know, they have been peeping at our German military industry technology for a long time, and Czechoslovakia already has a lot of red elements, so it is inevitable that they will infiltrate and steal, and the Škoda factory has begun to file a complaint against the Soviet Union, well, maybe you can also write to accuse them of supporting China." ”
