"Dear William. General Grener, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind. The office that Ding Cheng walked into was very simple, with a large map on the wall and a sand table. There are also several copies of the text jiàn on the table, operational maps of different theaters of war. The telephone, kettle, teacup, and nothing more to use for contact.

If he hadn't come to Germany in person, Ding Cheng would never have imagined that the office of a general of the German army, who has always been at the top of the world's army rankings, would be so shabby. In the Northeast, it was only in the past two years that Qin Yu's vigorous grasp stopped the unhealthy atmosphere. In the former Qing Dynasty, it was an ordinary old army patrol battalion, and it was never this scene when it was taken out. Even the things that a battalion management belt with the army is much stronger than the William Grener in front of him.

Although Germany was already a defeated country at this time, he was also a general, and Ding Cheng secretly thought that it was not a fluke that the German Army could become the strongest army in the world.

"I'm sorry, wait until I finish these few documents first." Another staff officer at the door took a stack of papers, walked over with an old-fashioned face, and William Grener glanced at Ding Cheng apologetically and said.

"You get busy first, I'll wait here." Ding Cheng nodded, in order to avoid suspicion, he also specially withdrew from the office, Germany became a defeated country, a big mess of things to deal with, and it was reasonable for Williamgrad to be busy. It took more than a month to come all the way from the Northeast and take a boat, and Ding Cheng didn't care about waiting for such a little more time.

Half an hour later, Ding Cheng re-entered the office.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting so long." William Grener himself got up and opened the door and said.

"I can understand your country's current situation, you have a lot of urgent military affairs to deal with, and deal with the aftermath." Ding Cheng said sincerely with a face.

"Thank you for your understanding, I've heard Arnold say something about you, do you want me to introduce some military enterprises to cooperate with you?" William Grener asked.

"Not bad. Germany is now the object of oppression by Britain and France, and in the East, our country is facing the insult of Japan, and the situation is even more sinister than that of yours. We need to keep our people standing up straight in front of all races, so that their lives and property can be secured, and not that we need to worry about demons taking away their lives, all the time. Ding Cheng said indignantly.

"This situation is a sad one for any soldier with a conscience. I'm deeply ashamed. William Grener sighed, "The current situation of Germany's military industrial enterprises is not very good, including Krupp, Rheinmetall, and several companies that manufacture aircraft and tank fighting vehicles are very difficult, I am responsible for helping you pull the line, and what can I talk about depends on your own efforts in the East." ”

"Thank you very much General William for your help." Ding Cheng was heartbroken, and Krupp was one of the largest artillery manufacturers in the world. In addition, Rheinmetal's metallurgical processes and technologies are among the best in the world. With the technical support of these two companies, the artillery production in the Northeast can leap several steps, save a lot of research funds and research time, and on the battlefield, it will be the lives of thousands of soldiers. And Rheinmetal's metallurgical know-how is not only used in cannon steel, but also in automobile and aircraft engines. As well as the use of various machinery is more extensive. A good specialty metal can directly determine the quality of an engine.

"In addition, our commander-in-chief has a large army at his disposal, and he already occupies a significant position on the military map of Asia. However, due to the rapid expansion of the army. The training was strict and couldn't keep up, so I wonder if General Guò Wilhelm could hire some German officers to teach? Ding Cheng asked tentatively.

"I can't give you much help with this, Germany has just been defeated and has just abandoned its influence to the East, which will cause hatred from Britain and France." Wilhelm Greiner shook his head and said, if it was before World War I, for this kind of thing that could expand the influence of the German army and Germany. Germany couldn't ask for it, but today is different. The German army, which had just been defeated, would probably be regarded by Britain and France as having bad intentions.

"However, after this war, a large number of our troops will inevitably be dismantled, and only a small number of troops will be symbolically retained to maintain law and order. Among those who were dismissed were some of the best commanders, and once they were made redundant. It has nothing to do with the German army, and your hiring of them is also a normal military business practice, and has nothing to do with the German government. At the end, William Grener added.

Ding Cheng was a little disappointed at first, the German Army is known as the world's first, and in this European war, although defeated, it almost single-handedly resisted more than 70% of the strength of the Entente, and it can be said that it is still glorious despite defeat. The Northeast Army has made great progress in recent years, but Qin Yu, Lan Tianwei, Yang Xing and other high-level leaders of the Northeast Army are clearly aware of the rapid expansion of the Northeast Army and the shortcomings of the Northeast Army. One is that the expansion is too fast, and the other is that it has not been baptized by a big war, and it cannot be called an iron-blooded army.

German soldiers have always been known for their rigor and courage in battle, and they have experienced the most tragic war in the history of mankind in Europe. Whether it is positional warfare, air warfare, tank warfare, or poison gas warfare, it can be said that he is the most qualified teacher of the Northeast Army. Although Northeast China is even ahead of Japan in some areas of technological arms, there is still a considerable gap between it and the Western powers. Ding Cheng knew that Qin Yu's most important thing was talent and technology, and the German army could meet his requirements in this regard.

"Then I will have to trouble General William to introduce some retired officers of your country." Ding Cheng smiled knowingly.

"I'll write you a list, and it's up to you to make sure you do it yourself." William Grener said with no expression on his face.

"That's natural, and please rest assured that as long as you are a good soldier, you will enjoy the treatment and respect you deserve in the East." Ding Cheng nodded cautiously, and then proposed another matter, "The last task I received this time is related to the purchase and sale of ordnance and military equipment, with General Wilhelm's status and popularity in the German army, I believe it is easy to do." ”

"I wonder what else you want?" William Grener asked.

"Our commander-in-chief wants to accept the large number of original Mauser rifles, artillery, and all kinds of military equipment that were surplus when the German army was dismantled, as much as possible." Ding Cheng did not hide his thoughts, although the deal with Germany at this time was secret, but once the bulk of the arms deal was completed, when the goods arrived in the Northeast, it would inevitably attract the attention of people with intentions, and as for the expansion of the scale of military factories in the Northeast, I am afraid that it would not be able to hide it from the ears and eyes of the Japanese, after all, the Japanese have been operating in the Northeast for so many years, but the specific process is not so easy for the other party to figure out.

"How much do you want?"

"I want to take a look at the goods that have been dismantled, about 300,000 to 500,000 rifles, and hundreds of artillery pieces, which we can eat. As for military equipment, it needs to be decided by our technicians after looking at it. ”

"Your commander has a great appetite, but we have fulfilled so many of your requests, I wonder what you can give in return?" William Grener asked.

"The defeat of Germany this time is not a crime of war. Our commander-in-chief has said that in the future there will be a day when Germany will recover. During this dormant period, our commander-in-chief is willing to provide a convenient facility so that your country's military technology research can continue. Under the Commander-in-Chief's rule, there are millions of square kilometers of grasslands, vast and sparsely populated, and these places are not even noticed by the sight of the great powers. Tests of aircraft, research on army and tank tactics can be carried out. Ding Cheng said seductively.

"I'll talk about these things later, and now we have no intention of doing this for the time being." William Grener said with a twinkle in his eyes. Although the German army has been defeated, but several German high-level officials are interested in preserving the vitality of the German army as much as possible in this major retrenchment, waiting for the re-emergence in the future, Ding Cheng's mention of yì does have a fatal temptation, but I don't know if the strength of the northeast is really as Ding Cheng said, has grown to the point that the Japanese army is greatly feared. If there was no force to protect itself, the Germans would not have chosen such a partner. (To be continued......)
