Chapter Ninety-One: Red and White Eats All

As for the arms deal between Germany and the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, Lin Han did not prevent the sabotage, but secretly facilitated it. In his opinion, Song Ziwen's group is inferior to Chang Kaishen, and no matter how many weapons he buys, he is just another transport captain, but he is very pleased that the guns in the hands of the artillery party are all German, which are the same caliber as the guns and bullets he aided the Red Army, and it will be more convenient to supply them after they are captured in the future.

Due to the "ass problem", when Song Ziwen was a comprador under Chang Kaishen to control the import of arms, he could not care about the life or death of the country and just gnaw on this big tree, Chang Kaishen is the spokesperson of this group of people, and he can only turn a blind eye to this.

But now Song Ziwen can't do this anymore, and now he, the comprador of the ocean, has personally put on the battle and become the chairman of the committee. The change in identity and status has made him comical to become the person who "hates the compradors the most for indiscriminately harming the foundation of the regime when importing arms", and he has changed from the practice of talking about big trees to gnawing on his own flesh.

In addition, Hannah and Hitler ordered the military advisers in China to bribe and lobby the military at the right time, and the military unanimously opposed the trouble of adding new types of rifles to increase logistical supplies, and the British and French fire loans were finally cancelled and replaced with artillery and other materials. And Hannah and Lin Han were very happy to see that the caliber of the guns of the Nanjing Nationalist Government began to be mainly German.

The happiest man in this arms deal was Hitler, who used it to get rid of a large number of old rifles at a good price, so that the German Wehrmacht could easily retool. The headquarters of the German 6th Army was very satisfied with the performance of the new G32 semi-automatic rifle, but due to the high cost, the military was shy and difficult to equip a large number of them. After selling this large number of old firearms, the military, which had the money, had ordered 30,000 G32 semi-automatic rifles to be reequipped for the army. At this time, Germany was still limited by the Treaty of Versailles, and could only retain 100,000 6th Army, and the replacement of 30,000 semi-automatic rifles could undoubtedly greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the 6th Army.

Song Ziwen, who received support from Britain and the United States, breathed a sigh of relief, but although the imported weapons were in place in time, it took time for army training and officer training. So the negotiations with the Red Army were still going on in disguise.

Unlike Chang Kaishen, who regarded the Red Army as a mortal enemy, Song Ziwen only regarded the other party as another warlord similar to Yan Xishan and Li Zongren in his heart. Due to the speculative nature of the businessman, he actually did not really want to die with the Red Army in his heart. Since the fourth encirclement gnawed out the teeth. Although he received assistance from Britain and the United States, he just wanted to keep his current territory.

Chairman Song Ziwen and Song needed time to expand the army and regain its vitality, and the Red Army also needed time to digest the newly acquired territory, and when neither side wanted to fight, the war subsided for the time being. Negotiations began between them to test each other's bottom line.

So in the following months, until the Spring Festival of 1933, the fighting between the two sides began to subside. The Red Army began to train desperately during the winter slack season. In the early battles, the Red Army captured a large number of firearms, the number of the army expanded again, and the average number of soldiers fell on the contrary. The autumn harvest has passed, and there is no doubt that the best time for military training is during the winter farming slack. And this time. Hannah, who had taken a lot of benefits from Lin Han, also began to fulfill her previous promise, lobbying Hitler to secretly send a group of German instructors with excellent military skills into the Soviet zone to teach the Red Army various military skills, such as the use of various artillery, the tactics of the storm commandos, and so on.

Of course, in order to hide people's eyes, the identities of these people were all under the banner of military advisers sent by the "Communist (Crab) International" to the Soviet area. It is different from the historical one-sided support for Chang Kaishen (crab). This plane was built under Hannah's persuasion, and the mustache was betting on both sides, and after eating Party A, Party B was eaten: on the one hand, he was sending military instructors to the Nanjing Nationalist Government to teach the army, and on the other hand, he was also sending instructors to the Soviet District.

To paraphrase a similar line in a famous movie in later generations, evaluate this matter: Fascist bullets are sold (sent) to the Communist Party (crab) to fight fascism.

For this seemingly aggrieved behavior, Hitler and even the Junkers officer corps, in which he participated, had no opinion. The reason is very simple: it is precisely because the Red Army has killed more than a dozen divisions of the Nanjing Nationalist Government and the equipment losses are severe that Chairman Song will smash the pot and sell iron to frantically purchase arms all over the world to supplement the losses. The truth that the bird hides the bow is not difficult for the Germans to understand. Arms are consumer goods, and if the Red Army was really wiped out by the White Army, who will German arms be sold to in the future?

Another reason why Hitler could not refuse to "aid the Communists" was that the Jiangxi Soviet District could provide Germany with the most precious resources: tungsten ore and rare earths.

The so-called "aid to the Communist Party" is only a literal statement, and in actual operation, the Red Army in the Soviet zone still has to use a large amount of minerals and gold and foreign exchange as a transaction. After four anti-encirclement and suppression operations, the base area of the Central Red Army has expanded to most of Jiangxi and part of Hunan. and the northwest region of Fujian. In the Red Army-controlled area, tungsten ore is abundant in southern Jiangxi, and rare earths and gold are abundant in the Shanghang Revolutionary Base Area of Longyan in northwest Fujian. Originally, in 1932, the mineral deposits in Shanghang had not yet been discovered, but Lin Han, a traveler, was very aware of the distribution of minerals here - because he himself was from Shanghang. "Zijin Mining" is such a famous company, and the location of mining in Shanghang, he is a local. After entering the Soviet zone last year, he told the upper echelons of the Red Army the exact location of the mining area early on, and soon after the Red Army began mining in Shanghang.

Tungsten is an extremely important strategic resource, and Jiangxi was the location of the world's largest tungsten mine at that time. High-quality armor-piercing bullets are inseparable from tungsten, and tungsten is required for cutters and drills of various machine tools and lathes, and tungsten is also needed for the manufacturing materials of the motive. As for rare earths, their importance is self-evident. Knowing the future history, Hitler knew that the future war with Britain would last for a long time, and that Germany would face the problem of a long-term naval blockade as in World War I, and in this case, it was necessary to hoard as many of these strategic resources as possible.

Besides, the gold and foreign exchange paid to the Germans were actually "small vaults" secretly set up by Lin Han himself, with his left hand handed over to his right hand, transferred by Hannah, pretending that the Red Army paid the Germans to deceive Hitler, and Hitler, who had great trust in Hannah, did not have the slightest doubt about this. The Junkers arms dealers, who sold a lot of arms, also did not get along with the money and made more trouble to investigate the source of funds.

Therefore, under the influence of the guiding ideology that "nationalism" is more important than any other ism, coupled with the two traversers Lin Han and Hannah muddying the waters in the middle, there is such a strange phenomenon of "red and white all-takes" between China and Germany.
