"What we want is to strengthen cooperation in the military industry and resources, and Japan, as our allies, will persuade them to abandon their confrontation with the defense forces in Southeast Asia. At the same time to recognize the control of the Wehrmacht over the existing areas and to jointly develop all the resources of the zone now occupied by the USSR......"

Gerhardt was entertained by one of the top members of the coalition government: Yang Yuting. Yang Yuting has not seen age over the years, but has a posture of getting younger and younger.

Although he is no longer in charge of the military, he now has a lot of power in his hands. It can even be said that it is better than the previous supervision of the three eastern provinces. The son has also come out, and now he is training in the land of Lao Qin.

Although he is only a mayor, he can pass more than 50 performance evaluations. After a few more years of training, he will inevitably be transferred back to the imperial capital to take up a substantive position.

Later, he was sent to a province to serve as a feudal official, and he may have the opportunity to become a member of the Supreme Committee in the future. Therefore, Yang Yuting is naturally getting younger and younger now.

"Mr. Gerhardt, I will truthfully report your conditions to the Supreme Council." Yang Yuting smiled warmly and said to Gerhardt: "Of course, the final decision depends on the vote of the Supreme Council. ”

"We can understand that. We just want to strengthen the cooperation between China and Germany and achieve greater success in a wider range of areas. Gerhardt nodded and said, "Now we have achieved a huge advantage in the war in the Soviet Union, not only occupying most of the resource producing areas of the Soviet Union, but also destroying almost all of their industrial facilities......"

"And with more than 300,000 Soviet troops as our prisoners, we believe that we will be able to complete the war against the Soviet Union by next year. After that, we will consider crossing the Bering Strait for the next step of the war......"

Yang Yuting was still smiling, but there was a little more color in his eyes. Gerhardt's words, although not single-pointed, are already clear: if Germany defeats the Soviet Union. And China did not become an ally of Germany.

In the next step, Germany may not choose to attack China first for the sake of its allies and its own security. At that time, even if it is unwilling, China will have to face the difficulty of starting a war on two or even three fronts.

From the establishment of the Wehrmacht to the present, the Navy has been the weakness of the Wehrmacht. If, with the assistance of Germany, Japan launched a landing war against China, at the same time millions of German troops rushed down from Siberia.

Then the situation is very bad, and Yang Yuting himself is not sure that China will be able to support it in such a situation. Perhaps, the good situation in Southeast Asia will collapse globally.

"Mr. Gerhardt, our We're in the Wehrmacht in 1931 when the Japanese launched the September 18 Incident. It was established. But before that, we had already fought against the two major powers in the Far East, including Japan and the Soviet Union. ”

Yang Yuting slowly closed his notes, still maintaining that warm smile. "When the large forces of our Northeast Army were forced to withdraw from the Northeast, we fought against tens of thousands of Japanese Kwantung Army. ”

"When our vanguard was defeated by the Soviet Union, it was we who personally routed the Soviet Far Eastern Army in Harbin. The Soviet Union was forced to recognize Outer Mongolia as ours. And Japan did not dare to hold us accountable for the annihilation of their Kwantung Army. ”

Yang Yuting paused and said, "The reason why our national defense force has been able to get to where it is today is that every step has been made. Since the establishment of the Wehrmacht, there have been no less than 1,000 battles, large and small. Adversaries range from domestic warlords to Far Eastern powers. ”

"The Soviets recognized our power because we forced them to sit down at the negotiating table. The Japanese recognized our strength with practical actions, because they lost more than a million troops in the Chinese battlefield. Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"At the same time, now their troops in the Southeast Asian theater are just surviving. If we want. At most, in three months, their Southern Army will fall into a total collapse. ”

As if he had just realized that he had said the wrong thing, the cold sweat on his face fell. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was about to explain something, but Yang Yuting waved his hand and said, "At the beginning of our declaration of war against Japan, New York Times reporter Edgar Snow asked our commander-in-chief. Questions about the enemy. ”

"Our commander-in-chief has only one answer to this: Have they ever won against me?!" Yang Yuting said, packed up the notes in his hand, got up and said: "Our commander-in-chief also has a very favorite sentence called: If you say it, you don't have the final say. See you here! ”

After speaking. Yang Yuting said goodbye, and then turned around and left directly. Gerhardt and Franz, whose faces were uncertain, were left staring at each other.

More than an hour later, the conditions put forward by both the Axis and the Allies in the meeting room of the coalition government were put in front of the leaders of the coalition government and the defense forces.

Figures on the Wehrmacht side include Navy Commander-in-Chief Shen Honglie, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Chen Haihua, Chief of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht Su Zongzhe, and Wehrmacht Commander-in-Chief Tu Mengben. At the same time, there is also the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater of Defense Forces, Tu Sancannon.

And on the side of the coalition government. In addition to Yan Zhengqing and Yang Yuting, who attended the negotiations on behalf of the government, Chang Yinhuai, Fan Xudong, and Jia Xiaohou ...... And so on, top people in all aspects are also involved.

For the part of the coalition government and the Defence Forces, a comprehensive assessment of the cooperation plans of the Axis and the allies is to be carried out. These assessments include technical, mechanical, and resource assessments...... and so on.

"Judging from the information they provided, we have the technical base provided by the Germans. If we continue to work together, we and the Germans have improved these technologies. Jia Xiaohou wore glasses and read the introduction of technical cooperation between the two parties.

"On the contrary, the allies will have more to offer in terms of technology. These include design drawings, design ideas, and a wealth of research materials. Personally, I think these are the most important. These can not only be used for reference, but those test data can also allow us to take a lot of detours when developing on our own......"

After Jia Xiaohou finished speaking, he directly shut up. Jia Xiaohou's character is like this, he will never be flexible. What to say, he will say more about technology. But if you ask him if you have nothing to do with technology, he won't be bothered to say it.

"Tin: 1,500 tons per month, Lead: 7,000 tons per month, Nickel: 800 tons per month, Molybdenum: 300 tons per month, Cobalt: 10 tons per month...... Copper pipes and other copper products: 300 tons per month......"

Minister of Industry Fan Xudong kept reading the supply of various materials promised by the allies in the contract, and couldn't help but smile. Every time he thought of the supply of materials, Fan Xudong's eyes would light up a little.

"Everyone. If we supply it like this, even if we hit the edge of the sky, it will definitely be enough! Fan Xudong laughed: "We are in short supply now, mainly these rare minerals. Although exploration and exploitation are being carried out everywhere, it will take time for production to be generated......"

"If the allies can provide these for the time being, we can completely arm all the remaining reserves and directly crush Xiao Ri!"

Fan Xudongle danced with his hands and laughed: "I haven't counted the output of the minerals they said were jointly developed, if it was counted, it would be even more terrifying!" ”

"And the machine tools, the machines that they promised to help and lend to us, several of which are now the most advanced. Our people want to take a look at people and don't give it, now it's okay! It's all the same as giving it away for nothing, these white-skinned guys are bleeding profusely! ”

looked at Fan Xudong's dancing appearance. The crowd couldn't help but laugh. Fan Xudong once went to other countries to try to buy machinery, but people didn't even look at it.

It is also said that the Chinese cannot understand these machines, and it is in vain to look at them. So Lao Fan has always hated white people for this matter.

"I didn't expect that...... I, Fan Xudong, can still see these white-skinned guys sending machines to us in a low voice in my life, hehehe...... My old fan is worth it! ”

said. Fan Xudong's eyes turned red. He remembered the mocking words of the Britzes when he visited the headquarters of the British company in England.

"You soil-eating people can't understand the alkali making process, so it's better to just take a look at the boiler room......

This sentence deeply pierced Fan Xudong's heart. Since then, Fan Xudong has secretly vowed that he must let the Chinese get rid of the title of "soil eating people"!

He made up his mind that he must Chinese develop his own soda ash in his lifetime. Yes, Fan Xudong finally succeeded. But the road to success has been so tortuous.

Several major international companies that monopolize alkali production technology are kept strictly confidential. It is almost impossible to procure complete sets of machinery and equipment, everything needs to be redesigned and in-house. In order to stop Fan Xudong from developing soda ash, the company lobbied the Ministry of Finance of the Beiyang Government and tried to pass the "Regulations on the Taxation of Industrial Salt", stipulating that "industrial salt is taxed at 2 jiao per quintal". This will increase the yield of each ton of alkali by 8 yuan out of thin air, making it difficult for Wynn in the test to bear.

Fan Xudong invested 2 million yuan at that time to finally produce the first batch of alkali products. However, it is disappointing. The production is still inferior alkali with red and black colors. When the news broke, the British-owned company let out a burst of ridicule. At this time. The four ship-type calciners were all burned out and could no longer be used, and the whole plant was forced to stop production for a time, and the shareholders who had been waiting for several years had lost patience......

Bonemen Company took the opportunity to ask for talks with Fan Xudong, hoping to take a stake in Wynn. At the same time, some shareholders who are oblivious to their interests are beginning to make a move, trying to sell their shares for cash......

However, Fan Xudong finally withstood this series of tribulations. After all, he produced Chinese soda ash from technology, technology to products, which completely belonged to the Chinese.

"If China does not have a group of people, they are willing to calm down: do not take advantage of the heat, do not worry, do not be confused by the fame and wealth of the world, and devote themselves to creating new academic skills for China, and China will never be able to produce new life!"

As the Minister of Industry of the coalition government, Fan Xudong was also invited to give a lecture at the Imperial University of Technology. Standing on that podium, looking at the students below, Fan Xudong burst into tears.

"China's future is in your hands! The future of the Chinese nation is in your hands! Every effort and sweat you put in now will cast the ladder for this country to move forward. We have suffered so much, too much misery, bullying, ridicule and oppression, all because we don't have our own industry. ”

"And this is a shame for us industrial people! If we want future generations to be free from the humiliation of the guns of those great powers, we need to work hard at this moment! For the sake of our Motherland, prosperity and prosperity! ”

That's what Fan Xudong said, and that's what he did. This Hunan man is stubborn by nature, and even if he was once pointed to the head at gunpoint, he still refused to give in. But at this moment he burst into tears.

"Lin Gong, I have dreamed countless times that we can get the most advanced machine tools in the world. But I didn't expect this day to come so soon......"

Fan Xudong lowered his head. Trembling, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes. Without the unforgettable ridicule he received in those foreign companies, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine the pressure of Fan Xudong as Minister of Industry.

Indeed, since the provincial governments of the three eastern provinces, China's industry has made significant and significant progress. But that's still not enough. The output value of the entire industry cannot be compared with that of large countries such as Europe and the United States, even compared with Japan in Asia.

Although European and American companies are cooperating with coalition governments, the blockade of technology is still very tight. Only if the technology is at least one generation behind will they consider selling it to the coalition government.

And the asking price is not low every time, and they also love to teach the operation and principles of some machine tools. It's all up to the workers in those factories who grit their teeth and experiment over and over again......

In terms of the use of some special processes, they are even more close. No one is even allowed to approach during the operation, and they are only allowed to come in when they are done.

A lot of the time. Both the coalition government and the Ministry of Industry had to grit their teeth and accept these harsh conditions. Without him, these technologies do not have their own. They had to rely on these people to complete the production of the product.

Of course, Fan Xudong is not a fool either. He did not miss all kinds of buying, reverse pushing, and even taking advantage of the economic recession in Europe and the United States to hire a large number of skilled workers to acquire technology.

But after all, there is no such reality as to get the technology directly from European and American countries.

"Old Fan, we have finally come out after so many years......" Jia Xiaohou's current feelings about Fan Xudong. It can be described as empathetic.

He also studied technology abroad, and as a Chinese, he was not less eye-catching. But in order to learn technology, Jia Xiaohou had to grit his teeth and hold on.

"Let's work hard for the two old bones to leave a good foundation for the future generations. In the future, there will be those white-skinned guys begging us for technology! ”

Jia Xiaohou's words made Fan Xudong suddenly come to his senses, and he responded loudly: "Yes! Let's just blow up this old bone, and we have to leave something for future generations! In the future, there will be times when those white-skinned guys beg us! ”

Everyone saw that Fan Xudong had come back to his senses. I couldn't help but smile and comfort. Then, Lin Sen tapped his finger on the table and said, "Now that the conditions of the Germans and the allies have been opened, let's talk about which one we are cooperating with?!" ”

As soon as Lin Sen's words came out, everyone immediately buzzed into a discussion. If only from a technical point of view. The Germans promised to share and study comprehensive technology with China.

Although many of the technologies in the previous joint research and development between China and Germany overlapped. However, at that time, Germany also took into account, and some of the material test data and technology were not shared with the Wehrmacht.

And in this regard, the allies gave relatively poorly. Although they agreed to give high-end machine tools. At the same time, personnel are dispatched to train and use.

But in terms of a fully cooperative attitude, they were not as sincere as the Germans.

Secondly, in terms of resources. Germany was one of the allies. The Allies first promised to supply the coalition government with a large amount of ready-made materials, but also promised loans and joint development of large quantities of minerals, including the Soviet Union and Canada.

Germany really can't do anything about this, and they themselves are short of resources. To be able to set aside a part of it to work with the coalition government is already a huge concession.

Finally, on the territorial front, Churchill and Hull have implicitly signaled that the Allies would recognize Chinese ownership in Southeast Asia. As long as it is a government in Southeast Asia that the coalition government decides to recognize, the allies will choose to recognize.

At this point, Germany lost again. They even proposed to use the current occupied areas as a limit and demanded that the Wehrmacht refrain from attacking the occupied areas of Japan. Of course, it also acknowledges China's control over these places.

This made the members of the coalition government and the defense force extremely dissatisfied, and if we were to take the land in Xiao Ri's hands, we would have taken it ruthlessly. Why do you want to give it to Xiao Ri now?!

Expand and expand, Japan and China are direct mortal enemies. Either they died miserably, or the Wehrmacht was defeated. There is no third way, and the coalition government as a whole has never considered a third way.

Asking the Wehrmacht to spare the day became the most unlikely condition for Sino-German negotiations. This has become the goal of the entire coalition government and even the National Defense Force.

Moreover, there can only be one great power in the whole of Asia. If he is allowed to survive now, this poisonous snake that cannot be killed will sooner or later jump up and bite people.

"If we reject Germany, then we have to take into account the ......threat to our Mongolia, the three eastern provinces, and other places when Germany invades Siberia," Su Zongzhe, chief of the General Staff, said worriedly: "I thought that no matter how bad the Soviets were, they would be able to fight for at least a year or two." But now look at ......"

Su Zongzhen said, and everyone smiled bitterly. The defeat of the Soviet Union was too sudden and too fast. It's even dizzying, and in just over half a month, they've almost lost all the barriers they can rely on.

At least more than 300,000 Soviet troops became prisoners of the German army, more than eighty percent of the warplanes, tanks, and automobiles of the entire Soviet Union were destroyed, and a large amount of military supplies were captured by the German army.

It's only been more than half a month, and who can guarantee that the USSR can support it for half a year?! At least these generals present here are not optimistic about the sustained combat capability of the Soviet army......
