Chapter 327: You Have to Bet
"Your Excellency, are you kidding? What does your deal with the British have to do with us? Leohard looked at Qin Wei with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking at a fool who pretended to be smart.
"Actually, with your position, Mr. Leohard, it is indeed difficult to understand the meaning of my words. But I can remind you," Qin Wei ignored Leohard's ugly expression, he pointed at himself: "Like Marshal Goering of your country, I am also an air force!" β
"I don't think I understand what you mean, General." Jonas found that Leohard's face was as black as the bottom of a pot after Qin Wei said this, and he knew that the other party's words had deeply hit the confidence of his companions, but he really didn't understand what Qin Wei's identity as an air commander could have in common with Goering's air marshal. Just because everyone is doing the same job? But he seems to know that there is a Chinese saying called "peers are enemies"!
"Mr. Jonas, although our General Qin's power is far less than that of Marshal Goering's influence on Germany, we are well aware of his feelings for your air force. Do you think that an anti-aircraft gun that can shoot down a good fighter with fifty shells means anything to him? Zhou Tian, who had not spoken, suddenly asked with a smile.
"That means we could lose a lot of planes, and we'll have a lot of pilots killed." Jonas Road.
"Looks like you get it." Zhou Tian said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I don't understand." Jonas shook his head, "We don't have a direct conflict with the UK. Although the German Army was attacking the small countries of Western Europe, and Britain and France had earlier declared war on us over Germany's annexation of Poland, this did not mean that we would necessarily have a major war with England. Moreover, the main forces on which the German army relied were armored clusters, tanks, and what if the British could hold off our air force? Will they be able to hold back the invincible torrent of steel? β
"That said. Mr. Jonas, are you against the exchange of equipment from several pharmaceutical factories for our penicillin production methods? Qin Wei asked.
"Yes." Jonas nodded, "Your asking price is too high. β
"Then forget it." Qin Wei's mouth drooped, "Secretary Zhou, send them out." β
"Please, two." Zhou Tian raised his hand and pointed to the door, about to send off the guests.
"Wait." Leohard suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Jonas frowned, "Leohhard, there's no way we're going to agree to this condition. The Board is unlikely to agree. β
"But the government will agree." Leohard glanced at Qin Wei and found that the other party was still leisurely, looking like he didn't care about their departure. Secretly sighed.
"Leo, don't talk nonsense." Jonas secretly glanced at Leohard, "The board of directors can't approve it, how can the government agree?" β
"Forget it, let's not waste time." Zhou Tian glanced at Qin Wei. Suddenly interjected: "Mr. Jonas, you are a qualified negotiator. But you obviously don't understand what we're talking to you about. Bayer is really strong in the field of medicine. But your board of directors is not even a pill in front of Marshal Goering, who was Hitler's closest fΓΌhrer. You don't know that this negotiation has already involved the security of your country's air force, that is, the new anti-aircraft gun we have invented has actually threatened the position of Marshal Goering. β
"When the Air Force can't play its strength, the Air Force Commander is just that. Unfortunately, in Germany, everyone else can be an ornament, but Goering certainly not. Who hurt his Air Force. He will tear anyone to shreds, including Bayer. Qin Wei smiled.
"It can't be." Jonas didn't believe it.
"It's likely." Leohard sighed. He could already be sure that Qin Wei knew a lot about the situation in Germany, especially the relationship between Goering and the Air Force...... The other party is right. If they allowed this new type of anti-aircraft gun to enter Britain, they would damage the Luftwaffe in a direct battle with Britain and France in the future. Goering's guy who treats the air force as his own and does not allow anyone to interfere will definitely tear Bayer to pieces, even if it is a time of war and Germany still needs Bayer's medicine, but these related people will definitely become victims of Goering's anger. You know, it was Hitler's deputy, the second man in the Reich. And who in Germany can really ignore the Air Force? Blitzkrieg without the Air Force, how can it really be called Lightning?
"To do business, you really need to understand a little bit of politics. Mr. Jonas refused, but I don't think that's going to happen to you, Leohhard, right? Qin Wei was very satisfied with Leohard's cognition. He also thought that he needed to ask the two guys about Bayer's top management before he could give in to him. Now it seems that this time will be significantly shortened.
"Since this matter has already involved Marshal Goering, I wonder how you can guarantee that this new weapon will not fall into the hands of the British, Your Excellency?" Leohard was not so easily deceived, although he was well aware of Goering's threat, he was even more aware of the consequences of being tricked by Qin Wei...... If they had paid the price, and the guy had sold the new anti-aircraft gun to the British, not only would Goering kill him, but Bayer's higher-ups would have wanted to tear him alive. If that were the case, he would have no choice but treason. But in Germany's current situation, he really doesn't have the courage to commit treason. But the truth was destined to disappoint him.
"I can't guarantee it." Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders slightly, "You can only gamble and choose to believe me." β
"You're blackmailing." Jonas shouted.
"You can understand that." Qin Wei said with a smile: "But the problem is, if you pay, there will be at least fifty percent of the winning, if you don't pay, you will lose 100 percent." β
"You ......"
"We need an agreement, and at least an agreement signed by you." Leohard stopped Jonas and said.
"No problem." Qin Wei chuckled.
"We also need to send a telegram to Berlin to get authorization in this regard."
"Whatever you want."
β¦β¦
"Are you really going to keep this new anti-aircraft gun and not give it to the British?"
The two Germans were quickly taken away and sent a telegram to the country for instructions. Zhou Tian sent the person out of the living room and turned back, she looked at Qin Wei, and felt more and more that this guy's thoughts were difficult to guess.
"If it's just the British, let alone anti-aircraft guns, I still want to use some tricks to let Long Yun go to Burma. But who made the British too deep? Although the family has been separated, the American brother on the other side of the ocean also speaks English. Qin Wei sighed helplessly. Every time he thought about it, he was extremely depressed. Both were Americas, and North America eventually emerged as two great powers, one of which was still a superpower; But South America obviously had a chance, but it ended up splitting into dozens of small countries. Although the United States and Britain also fought fiercely at the beginning, Britain even launched a second invasion after recognizing the independent status of the United States, forcing the Americans to fight the Second War of Independence, and for a time defeated Washington. But it must be said that as more than a hundred years have passed, the distance between the two countries where English is the mother tongue is getting closer and closer, and sooner or later, they will become the relationship between the big brother and the little brother again. Although the status of the two will be somewhat reversed, Britain, with the strong support of the United States, is already in an invincible position in this war.
"That is, you are still going to sell the anti-aircraft artillery to the British?" Zhou Tian was surprised.
"Even if I don't sell it, Lao Jiang will sell it sooner or later. Maybe it's cheaper than me. Qin Wei smiled bitterly.
"Aren't you afraid of offending Germany? What if they get angry and really form an alliance with Japan? Zhou Tian asked.
"Even if we give everything we have to the Germans, the Germans will definitely ally themselves with Japan." Qin Wei sighed: "Don't forget, the threat of the Soviet Union to the major European powers has always existed. No matter what war, whoever wants to gain hegemony on the European continent, he must defeat the Soviet Union, otherwise, he will always be threatened. And now the only one who can help the Germans contain the Soviets is Japan. And what about Japan? The Germans were also in need of an offensive against the USSR in the European direction...... What is it called? This is called dry wood against fire, jackal with tiger and leopard! β
"The Germans should be able to think of that, right?" Zhou Tian asked.
"Clever." Qin Wei beckoned and pulled the chick into his arms, "Hitler himself is a genius-level figure, and he is surrounded by some capable people, so he can definitely imagine it." β
"And then they're going to be fooled?" Zhou Tian asked.
"They have to be fooled." Qin Wei said proudly: "As I said just now, if they are not fooled, they will be sniped by this kind of anti-aircraft artillery 100%; But what if they fall for it? There is a 50 percent chance that such a danger will not be encountered. Moreover, even if we make it clear that we are going to pay our debts, as long as we sign an agreement and mediate through diplomatic means, we can at least delay for a while. Germany is now in full swing and will soon be able to take France, and the hundreds of thousands of British, French and Dutch allied troops will be defeated...... They're sure to have that confidence. β
"You always say that the Anglo-French-Dutch will fail, but I have not seen any of these signs until now." Zhou Tian said. Germany attacked the small countries of Western Europe and overwhelmed the Netherlands, and the British and French forces went to the rescue...... The eyes of the whole world are now on the Netherlands. However, no one now saw the possibility of defeat for the Anglo-French forces.
"No way, people like me are destined to be lonely." Qin Wei sighed very stinkingly, looked at Zhou Tian's disdainful eyes, and said with a smile: "But you don't have to be too inferior." In fact, there are many people who are just as confused as you now, and they are probably more sad than you. (To be continued......)
