"Director Ding, where is the submarine?" Ye Hong had a dusty look on his face at this time, he rushed to Germany from the northeast, and he didn't sleep all night last night, but his spirit was still in excitement at this time, and when he saw Ding Cheng, he asked directly. He had heard of the name of the U-shaped submarine, and had even been on the submarine once before, but when he heard Ding Cheng say that the Northeast would soon have its own submarine, it was still the most advanced German cargo in the world, Ye Hong couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and set off from the Northeast early.

"Well, it's right ahead." Ding Cheng pouted at a factory in front of him.

Ye Hong was dumbfounded when he saw it, a few diesel engines, the bridge that had not yet been installed, and some scattered accessories, and one of the shells was still marked with the number of U-143, "It's just such a thing, what can it do?" ”

"This is a U-boat." Ding Cheng said, "Some parts have been loaded onto the ship, and the equipment has been shipped to the Northeast." ”

"It turned out to be folded and transported back to China, in that case, what did you call me over from Yingkou, I thought I was going to drive the submarine back." Ye Hong was puzzled and said, driving a submarine back from Germany is a chore, but Ye Hong would rather work harder, of course, he can't do it alone, and more than ten people in the same company are resting after getting off the ship. Drive the submarine back, these people are enough.

"The situation has changed, this military purchase is too big, it has already alarmed the Japanese, after the defeat of Germany, all the submarines in the military port were pulled to Britain. The United States, France and other powers each shared a little. In order to maintain the absolute supremacy of its navy, Britain did not sell submarines, and although the northeastern side made many efforts, the plan to buy the entire submarine was ruined due to the opposition of the Japanese side, which heard the rumors. "The purchase of submarines this time can be described as twists and turns, Ding Cheng said with emotion." However, these scattered things are enough to assemble a U-shaped submarine. ”

After the British were reluctant to sell U-boats to the Northeast, Ding Cheng took a different path, and Germany built U-boats in view of the superiority of the Allied navy in the later stage of the war. In addition to the ones that went to sea, there were more than 100 ships built at the same time, but Ding Cheng got a batch before the British collected and destroyed them. It didn't fail one of the biggest purposes of this trip to the West.

"Director Mo Feiding has hired a technician to assemble the U-boat?" Ye Hong said happily.

"Not only technicians were invited, but also several submarine commanders who had participated in the European war." Ding Cheng smiled, took Ye Hong out of the factory, and came to a very simple house, through the window, you can see two casually dressed Germans in the opposite room sitting in the morning reading the newspaper. The two men were silent, as if nothing was trying to catch their attention except the newspapers. Although they were wearing an ordinary hemp gray suit and a hat, their upright sitting posture and the cold expressions that leaked from time to time told Ye Hong that the two of them were absolutely different from ordinary people.

The two men were called Wilhelm and Werner, and were formerly captains of U-44 and U-55 submarines. Because of the sinking of the American freighter Torring. The Prince of Belgium, and machine-gun to kill people who fell overboard. Staying in Germany would never have escaped the trial of the Allied military tribunals. If not. The Northeast also can't recruit these two talents. ”

"Are there any other German sailors besides these two German commanders?" Ye Hong's eyes flashed, and even the captain of the U-shaped submarine could be invited, and Ding Cheng, the lieutenant, was really powerful.

"There are more than twenty of them, all of them old men who have fought the war, and Germany is now facing the situation of being dismembered. The navy is almost going to be cut to nothing, and there are always some people who are unwilling to disarm and return to the fields. Speaking of Wilhelm, Werner also has some prestige. Ding Cheng smiled, these professional soldiers have been in the army for several years, and they don't know anything but war. Under the temptation of the high salary in the Northeast, and the old governor called him, he decided to go to the Northeast without much hesitation.

"It's much easier to do this, it's not easy to drive a U-shaped submarine with just a few naval soldiers in the northeast." Ye Hongjie said excitedly, "By the way, Director Ding, how many U-shaped submarines can be assembled among the parts bought back this time?" ”

"Five." Ding Cheng smiled, 5 U-boat boats can already threaten a considerable area of the sea, in Asia, it can be regarded as a feared underwater force, and when the Northeast also has its own technology to manufacture submarines, after creating a large-scale submarine force, even if it is a war with the Japanese army, it can bring considerable trouble to the Japanese army. Northeast China's power at sea is no longer a blank slate, and even if it is to build surface warships, it will take at least one or two decades of efforts to have a scale that threatens the combined fleet. Obviously, far water does not quench the thirst of the near, but the submarine under the water is a shortcut.

"The German soldiers are very professional, although the two of Wilhelm are a little heavier, but their military skills are very outstanding, they can command a boat, they are indeed good, in addition to the technicians who were invited, these two captains have the ability to assemble and repair a submarine, for the weapons they use, these two German soldiers know very well, the Northeast Navy has just started, Colonel Ye, you should learn more from these teachers." Ding Cheng said earnestly, as the team that originally followed Qin Yu to start his business, Ding Cheng is one of the rare old qualifications, and it is not a big deal to talk to Ye Hong in the tone of a senior, and he has seen with his own eyes the ability of the two Wilhelm to command the soldiers to assemble ships on the spot, Ding Cheng is also amazed, the German army is strong, not for nothing.

"Director Ding is right, the Northeast Navy is a toddler, should learn from the valuable experience of the German army, the Battle of Jutland, although Germany was defeated, but tactically speaking, the German fleet was successful, defeat is not a crime of war, but the naval strength is not as good as Britain, in terms of the number of enemy warships sunk, the German army is especially above the British fleet." Ye Hong nodded and said, whether it is a surface ship or a submarine force, the German army can be said to be the top in the world, and it is enough to be the teacher of the Northeast Navy.

"What is the situation in the Northeast, it has been nearly half a year since I left the Northeast. Did the Northeast Army win at Boli? Ding Cheng smiled and shifted the topic to the Northeast, and when this batch of important materials was finished, he could go home, and Germany would introduce technicians. The intellectuals' work can naturally be done by other people, and after leaving the Northeast for so long, although he has a huge amount of tens of millions of dollars in his hands, he has been away from his hometown for too long, and he has some nostalgia after all, although Germany is good. But after all, it is not a place to stay for long.

"Everything goes well, our Northeast Army has entered Boli City, good guys, the army is really good, the Japanese army has almost been reimbursed for a multi-division regiment, and nearly 10,000 prisoners have been killed, if it weren't for the marshal's inadvertent intention to set off a big war, the Eastern Front army that stung on the Middle East Road would have struck a blow, which was enough to wipe out the Japanese army that invaded Boli in the north." Speaking of this war. Ye Hong said excitedly.

"I didn't expect to be able to fight such a record with the Japanese army, just this battle, it is enough to show that our Northeast Army has achieved momentum, this time a large number of ordnance purchased from Western Europe has arrived, just wait for the arsenal to be completed and put into production, three years later, there is no need to fear the danger of Japan's eastward invasion." Ding Cheng laughed loudly when he heard this, and he, the adjutant, also knew about the plan to go north to Boli. He bought all of this large number of machinery. Ding Cheng knows very well how much impact the production capacity of these machinery will have on the development of the military industry in Northeast China once it is released.

"Our army has won the battle at Boli. I'm afraid it's the Navy that benefits the most, right? At the end, Ding Cheng smiled again.

"Director Ding is right, Boli is about to go down, and the Amur River Fleet that is frozen in the port naturally belongs to the Northeast Army." Ye Hong smiled when he heard this, more than 30 old-fashioned gunboats of various kinds will make the Northeast Navy almost blank. Suddenly there is a river fleet, although the gunboats are old-fashioned, but they can train the first personnel for the Northeast Navy. "It's just that the warships are too small, and the real hope is to look at the Yingkou Military Port, where we have built our own new destroyers. In addition, this year's plan to build a cruiser and build a submarine shows the determination of the marshal to develop the navy. ”

"The navy is a big money-swallower, and its forces are scattered, and I don't know if the marshal's plan to go south will be hindered because of this." Ding Cheng sighed, there will be gains and losses, there is a fight with the Japanese army in Boli, and a large number of troops will inevitably be deployed in Heilongjiang in the future to prevent trouble, even the Korean border, the area of Luda, must also be strictly guarded. Now it is necessary to raise an additional river fleet, build an arsenal, and spend huge sums of money on building warships and developing U-boats. After all, the energy of the Northeast is limited, and due to the restrictions of these conditions, Qin Yu's original plan to go south may be a little more variable. At least it won't be as smooth as it used to be, and after Japan has suffered a loss, it will be even more afraid of the Northeast. The more this is the case, the more Ding Cheng can feel Qin Yu's precaution against Japan and Russia, and would rather enter Beijing not so early, but also lay a good foundation for the Northeast Army to recapture the land lost by the former Qing in the Far East in the future.

"Commissioner, Werner has something to see you." Outside, a guard spoke loudly.

Ding Cheng snorted, and the guard brought Werner over.

"Mr. Ding, I suddenly remembered something, and I have to ask you to send someone to do it for me." Werner hesitated and said.

"Werner, you accepted the employment of the Northeast, I will solve the general troubles for you, I don't know what to do for me?" Ding Cheng smiled, for these Germans, he was not afraid of the other party's conditions, some too harsh don't pay attention, most personal matters are nothing to the organization in the Northeast.

What Werner said was not a big problem, it was nothing more than money, and he had to borrow a sum of money to send to the home of his comrades who died in battle.

Finally, when he was about to return to China, he wrote a check to Werner for Huaxing Foreign Bank, and Ding Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Horn has seen the Patrol Envoy!" Horn solemnly gave Qin Yu a big salute, and the future prospects of Rhine Metal Company in the Northeast mainly depend on the powerful faction of the Republic of China in front of him.

"Haha, Mr. Horn, I've been looking forward to it in Mukden for a few years, and I've finally got you." Qin Yu very politely asked people to pour tea for Horn, although the first battle of Boli was very expensive, but it also played the prestige of the Northeast Army, take Horn in front of him, he was originally hesitant to transfer the focus of development to the Northeast, but after the Northeast intentionally revealed the results of the First Battle of Boli, Horn, who realized that the Northeast had the ability to protect itself, did not think about it anymore and came to Fengtian in person. Especially the German businessmen who had lost their state support at this time needed a stable environment, otherwise their interests in the Northeast would be encroached upon by the Japanese.

"You can rest assured that as long as you pay taxes according to the regulations, the development of Rhein Metal Company will never be restricted in the Northeast." Chen Feng patted his chest and reassured.

"Thank you for taking care of the Rhine company, and the cooperation between the Rhine company and the Northeast will be very pleasant in the future." Horn still said very politely.

"Everyone works together to benefit both sides, and protecting the interests of businessmen is what the Northeast should do." After some discussions, the cooperation between Rhine Metal Company and Benxi Metal Company was set up again, Qin Yu was inexplicably excited, this cooperation included gun steel, engines, ship decks, special steel and other aspects. Compared with the past, although the Northeast also has business dealings with Rheinmetall, the attitude of this company is a bit high-minded, after all, it is a giant enterprise in Germany, how can it share core technology with a local warlord in Asia. However, now that the German military industry has been hit hard, Krupp and other arms manufacturers are in a slump, civilian prices are soaring, and the economy is bleak, Rhein Metal must also find another way out. That's why this collaboration was created.

"The Republic of China has a broad market, and in the future, with the entry of the Northeast Army into the customs and the occupation of more territory, the Rhine-Benxi joint venture metal company will have a broader market."

Qin Yu raised the teacup in his hand and replaced the wine with tea to celebrate.

"The Northeast Army wants to enter the customs?" Horn had a certain understanding of the pattern of the Republic of China very early, and this time he decided to carry out all-round cooperation with the Northeast, and Horn made up for his knowledge of the Republic of China. Not to mention the distribution of various forces in the Republic of China at this time, at least he knows a rough idea, Qin Yu's words are naturally very shocking to him.

"Yes, the local warlords in the south are nothing to me, and even with the Japanese, the pace of the Northeast Army going south is at most slower than originally planned. Our country has been weak for a long time, this situation must be changed, and after the Northeast Army goes south, the first thing I want to do is to reorganize the defense industry of the Republic of China, you can imagine what a big opportunity for a company. Qin Yu smiled, the Northeast Army's southward movement was a foregone conclusion, and it didn't matter much to reveal it to the German in advance, and anyone with a discerning eye could already see that the Northeast could no longer restrain the Northeast Army.

Horn's eyes showed a fiery fire, the population of the Republic of China is tens of thousands, several times that of Germany, such a big country, once it is excited, it does not participate in all the military enterprises, as long as it shares a part of it, it is definitely an opportunity for Rhein Metal Company to take off.

Sending Horn away, Qin Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, leaving the direction of the future development of Rhine Metal Company in the Northeast, which is of strategic significance to the Northeast, both military and civilian. At this time, the Northeast industry is still solving the problem of whether there is any, but the future of aviation, armored vehicles, engines, artillery, machinery manufacturing, high-precision instruments, the demand for special metals is increasing, the Northeast must solve this problem, sometimes a metal can create a weapon, the Japanese army in the later generations of zero war, is famous for an extremely light aluminum alloy.
