Chapter 479: Slaughtering the British
The Japanese finally tearfully agreed to Xiao Zhenlei's conditions, and they couldn't agree if they didn't agree. Xiao Zhenlei asked Song Shijie to send Lu Zhengxiang as a representative to sign a secret agreement with Youpeng in Shanxian County, which was the "Yimao Secret Treaty".
After the signing of the secret treaty, both sides must now keep it secret, after all, China's strategic intention has not yet been realized, so Japan still has to cooperate with China to complete its strategic intention, and the Chinese army still has to fight Korea and Wandao, but these two battles are just a show, purely acting, of course, outsiders can't see it.
Since the island of Kyushu was destined to be ceded and the Ryukyus were to be returned to China, the Japanese side began to consciously move the Japanese from Ryukyu and Kyushu to Shikoku and Honshu Islands, especially some young and middle-aged people, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled.
At the same time, in order to prevent outsiders from seeing the flaws in the attack on Korea and Wandao and other places, the Chinese side really fought it, and the officers and soldiers did not know the secrets, and in order to reduce its own losses, the Japanese side ordered all parts of Korea and Wandao to build extremely strong fortifications to prevent soldiers from taking their lives when they were bombarded by the Chinese side on a large scale. In a desperate situation, it is possible to surrender.
Both the Chinese and Japanese sides are making preparations, and the top brass of the Chinese army is preparing to wait for the beginning of spring next year to launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Korea and Wan Island at the same time, and now it is about to enter winter, which is not conducive to the operation, so let the army carry out a period of correction and training, and at the same time free up time for the logistics department to allocate materials.
Presidential palace.
Wang Yaqiao reported to Xiao Zhenlei: "President, the technical data and drawings for the manufacture of the first generation fighter have been completed with German intelligence officers, during this time. Although there were many twists and turns, the deal was finally completed. And the German side has already brought back the data and drawings safely, and I believe that soon they will be able to carry out mass production! ”
Xiao Zhenlei asked, "What about the money?" ”
"The money has already been sent to the Aircraft Research Center!"
Xiao Zhenlei nodded. sighed. Seeing this, Wang Yaqiao asked, "President, is there anything else you don't worry about?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked a few puffs and said: "We have done everything we need to do now, whether the Germans can cause greater damage to Britain and France depends on the will of God, if Wilhelm II is a normal person, I am not worried at all, but he is not a normal person, because he has had polio since he was a child, the ideas in this man's mind are often different, and he is too dependent on his marshals and generals." I'm worried that the master will be set up in the end! ”
Xiao Zhenlei's worries are not unreasonable, in the history of another time and space, in the later stages of World War I, the German army was indeed in the hands of several marshals such as Hindenburg, Wilhelm II was almost overthrown, and he lost control of the army.
Wang Yaqiao thought for a while and asked, "Then do you want our inner line to exert some influence on Wilhelm II?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and waved his hand: "This kind of thing can't be done often, the inside line is too ordinary and easy to attract the attention of people with a heart, and even if he will not be suspected." But there will be retaliation, do you think that the marshals and generals of Hindenburg are all idiots who eat dry food? Will they allow some people to speak ill of them in front of Wilhelm II? ”
Wang Yaqiao frowned and said, "Then we can't do nothing, right?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei walked back and forth in the office a few times with a cigarette, stopped and said, "Forget it, let it be." Perhaps the more we do, the more difficult it will be in the end for the situation to be managed, and now the Germans are not acting out of disadvantage. On the contrary, they have the upper hand, and now the Germans have received technical data and drawings for the construction of our first generation aircraft. Believing that they know how to make good use of this as long as they are not stupid, in fact the Germans are not stupid. On the contrary, they have very good qualities under their cleverness! ”
"Yes!"
Soon after Wang Ya left, the secretary called in and told Xiao Zhenlei that Jiang Baili asked to see him, and he asked the secretary to bring Jiang Baili in, and two minutes later, Xiao Gao walked into the office with Jiang Baili.
Xiao Zhenlei put down the pen and got up and said, "What is Brother Baili doing today?" ”
Jiang Baili shook his head, and said with a helpless look: "It's not the matter of the fighters, the matter of one million guns and ammunition has been negotiated, and there is no objection from both sides, on the issue of the three hundred first-generation fighters, we have reached an agreement in other aspects, the British side agreed to allow our Chinese dollars to circulate freely in the sterling area, and can exchange money with the pound sterling at a free exchange rate, and also agreed to pay in Chinese dollars, when the fighters are all delivered, the British side will pay the full amount, but on the issue of price, We and the British have never been able to agree, the British think that we have raised the price too high, and we think that the price is already very low, because the British can buy back these fighters for a maximum of three months to copy, they not only bought back a large number of fighters, but also bought back the technology! ”
Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and frowned: "In other words, the two sides have reached a stalemate on the issue of price now?" ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Zhenlei asked, "How much do you sell an airplane?" ”
Jiang Baili said: "One fighter plane is 1 million Chinese yuan, one bomber is 1.3 million, one torpedo plane is 1.1 million, and one reconnaissance plane is 900,000!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei gasped when he heard this, he thought that he was already black enough, how did he know that these people were much darker than him, a first-generation fighter cost one million Chinese dollars, you must know that the cost of this first-generation fighter is only more than 10,000 Chinese dollars, even the highest cost of the bomber cost less than 20,000 Chinese yuan, and it is still an old product that has been used for several years.
Xiao Zhenlei couldn't cry or laugh, pointed at Jiang Baili and said: "No wonder the British have always refused to agree, you are trying to slaughter people to death!" A fighter plane that costs more than 10,000 yuan, you have used it for several years but you have changed hands to buy 1 million, tsk, this abacus is good enough! ”
Jiang Baili said helplessly: "We think so, anyway, this is a hammer deal, the British must not know our specific cost, or how much we say?" Although the British don't believe it, they don't have any evidence to refute it, and they say that it only takes three months to imitate these fighters after they are bought, and they will definitely not be wronged again in the future, so why don't we slaughter them now? It's just that now the negotiations are deadlocked, and I'm worried that this deal will be yellow, so I'm here to ask you for an idea, you see? ”
Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette while thinking, and said after two minutes: "It's okay, you continue to talk to them, I believe they will definitely give in in the near future, if they give in, our side will also make appropriate concessions, don't make the relationship too stiff, it is still acceptable to give tens of thousands of yuan per plane, no matter what, we and the other party are still allies, just look at the face of the allies, each plane will give them tens of thousands of yuan cheaper!" ”
Jiang Baili couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Each plane is tens of thousands of yuan cheaper? Hehe, I don't think you're a fuel-efficient lamp either, okay, I see, if it's okay, I'll go first! ”
Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, if the negotiation reaches an agreement, in terms of the delivery time, extend the delivery time as much as possible!" ”
Although Jiang Baili is very researched in military affairs, he is a layman in politics, he didn't understand it for a while, and wondered: "This, what does it mean?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei spat out a puff of smoke and said, "Try to delay the time when they imitate the plane!" ”
This time Jiang Baili understood, he thought he understood everything, but in fact he only understood partially, Xiao Zhenlei did not tell Jiang Baili about his overall plan, and Jiang Baili did not know that Xiao Zhenlei wanted to use Germany to weaken Britain, and it is estimated that he did not want to know what Xiao Zhenlei thought, after all, he was just a pure soldier, and it was not a good thing to know these political conspiracies.
After a few days, the British were anxious after getting the Germans to obtain the manufacturing technology and drawings of the Chinese fighters, they did not think that this was deliberately sold by the Chinese to the Germans, and now that Germany has the aircraft manufacturing technology and drawings of the Chinese country, with the manufacturing capacity of Germany, it is entirely possible to build hundreds of fighters in a very short period of time, which makes the British feel frightened, you must know that the Japanese naval fleet was destroyed by the Chinese air force!
The British could not sit still, and the London side demanded that the representatives who were negotiating with the Chinese military in the capital do their best to complete the deal, and the London authorities could not wait any longer, and if they continued to delay, when the Germans produced a large number of fighters, the British would be finished.
On this day, Zhu Erdian protested to the Chinese side through diplomatic channels, accusing the Chinese authorities of being too childish in their technical secrecy measures, so that Germany had obtained this deadly technology, and at the same time asked to see Xiao Zhenlei. Xiao Zhenlei decided to meet Zhu Erdian after getting the news.
Xiao Zhenlei had already guessed a few points about Zhu Erdian's intentions, and after the meeting, Zhu Erdian really asked Hua to unconditionally hand over the aircraft manufacturing technology to the British authorities on the grounds that the Chinese authorities had indirectly helped Germany strengthen its strength because of the leakage of secrets.
Of course, Xiao Zhenlei would not agree to such an unreasonable request, and sternly refused, you must know that the current Huaguo is no longer the Qing court of the past, and it will no longer be coerced and oppressed by any country.
Later, Zhu Erdian asked the Chinese side to make concessions on the price of the plane sold, but Xiao Zhenlei excused himself on the grounds that he didn't care about the matter, and asked Zhu Erdian to go to the negotiators of the two sides to settle the matter through negotiations. Zhu Erdian had no choice but to fail, and on the issue of the price of this batch of 300 fighters, the British side finally made a concession, because they could not wait, and the Chinese side finally agreed that each plane could be cheaper by 40,000 Chinese dollars, and the two sides reached an agreement.
