Chapter 351: Tank Blueprints
entered Wan Hu's secret mansion in Tianjin, and a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared inside, and some dishes were still steaming, it seemed that Wan Hu had just ordered someone to prepare it after learning of Qiao Youhua's arrival.
While arranging for Wan Yinger and Xiao Wu to take Qiao Youhua and Hu Linger to take a shower and change their clothes, they began to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Qiao Youhua.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and said, "Brother Wan, I am still busy with military affairs in Luquan, so I can't stay in Tianjin for too long, please arrange for me to meet the Englishman." ”
Wan Hu's face was a little red, and he said: "This is natural, but Wan Mou has something he wants to ask, it's not that I don't believe in Captain Qiao's personality, but it's really uncomfortable to hold it in my heart and not ask." ”
Qiao Youhua seemed to have guessed what Wan Hu wanted to ask, so he said, "Brother Wan wants to ask what he wants to ask, just ask, where is there so much consideration between us." ”
Wan Hu nodded and said: "That's the case, Brother Qiao, do you know, the Englishman who cooperated with the Daomen of the Association is an official of the British in the Tianjin Concession, this person is greedy for money and profit, and he can even buy his own mother for money, in general, he is a mercenary guy."
If you want to cooperate with him, you must take real money, or good things that can impress him, with all due respect, this time Brother Qiao does not seem to be carrying anything precious, if you rashly meet with the Englishman, it will annoy him at that time, and I am afraid it will not be good for our future cooperation. ”
Wan Hu saw that Qiao Youhua was only carrying a black suitcase, and according to Xiao Wu, the weight was very light when he helped him carry the box, if it contained gold and silver, it would definitely not be so light, so he couldn't help but ask.
Of course, Qiao Youhua understood what he meant, and smiled at Wan Ying'er and said, "Sister Ying'er, I'm sorry for you." ”
"Brother Qiao, just give orders." Wan Yinger has the style of a father, and she responds heartily.
"Go to my room and help me bring the black suitcase." Qiao Youhua said.
"Okay." Wan Yinger happily agreed, and Hu Linger got up and left with her.
It didn't take long for the two of them to take Qiao Youhua's black suitcase and return.
Qiao Youhua took the black suitcase and pretended to look at Wan Hu and the others mysteriously and said, "Brother Wan, do you remember that I promised you that as long as you help me contact the foreign devils, I will definitely have a way to make him kneel and beg to cooperate with us." ”
Wan Hu smiled and nodded: "Of course I remember, so I'm even more curious, Brother Qiao has any way to make the British guy, who has always been high, turn his head and whisper to us." ”
Qiao Youhua put the box on the table, and just now, Xiao Wu and Hu Ling'er had already cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and other things in front of him for him, and made a space.
smiled and said: "Naturally, it's all here, the things in it are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, do you think the British will kneel down and beg me to cooperate with him?" ”
What is so valuable? $100 million? How many oceans does that have to be? The one-to-three exchange rate is hundreds of millions, hundreds of millions of oceans, even ten thousand tigers dare not think about it.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Qiao Youhua opened the black leather box, but to everyone's disappointment, there were no rare treasures in it that they had guessed, but only a stack of papers, and the sharp-eyed Hu Linger and Wan Hu vaguely saw that there seemed to be a lot of things painted on the top one, but they couldn't understand what was drawn.
"What is this?" Wan Hu opened his mouth in confusion, how can these papers be worth 100 million US dollars? Or the least estimate, Qiao Youhua won't be joking, right? looked up, but saw that Qiao Youhua didn't show any signs of joking.
"This is a new type of tank drawing! Call it the M4 medium tank, or call it the Sherman, but of course when we sell them to the British, whatever they call them, it doesn't matter to us. Qiao Youhua explained.
"What? Tank drawings? Is this thing worth 100 million dollars? "Wan Hu, including Hu Linger and others, are all confused.
"Absolutely, you don't know, although the British are the first in the world in terms of navy, but they are their weakness in terms of tanks, and this tank will definitely arouse great interest from the British and even the Yankees.
Because if they want to maintain their colonial rule in Eurasia and even Africa, it is definitely not possible to be close to the navy, as the main assault force of the ground forces, the role of tanks is self-evident.
Owning an advanced tank is something that all the countries of the Western powers dream of. ”
Qiao Youhua did not tell them that World War II would break out in a year, and its realization was already full of war clouds over Europe, and the Germans, under the leadership of Hitler, had completed a comprehensive recovery after World War I, and their national strength and military strength had been greatly improved.
Tanks were an indispensable piece of equipment against the Germans, and on the European continent, the duel between tanks and artillery was much more likely and dense than in East Asia.
Whether it is the British, the Americans or the French, although they have not yet tasted the power of the German blitzkrieg, it does not mean that they are not pursuing new weapons and equipment.
In fact, Qiao Youhua originally planned to sell the British some design drawings of advanced ships and warships, but then he thought about it, the British are still the world's first in naval strength, and the army is their shortcoming.
Tanks were supposed to be more of interest than warships, so they instead used Sherman tank blueprints to sell for money in exchange for the machines, technology, and even supplies they needed.
The Sherman tank, also known as the M4 medium tank, is a new type of tank that the Yankees began to develop in 1940, and became the main tank of the Allied forces in World War II.
Qiao Youhua's biggest reliance is to take advantage of the traverser to trade with the various advanced weapons and equipment that the Yankees, British, Germans and Soviet polar bears should have developed, in exchange for the technology, opportunities, funds and even talents that he urgently needs.
Just imagine, if the Germans had developed the Leopard tank, the Tiger tank, and various advanced fighters in advance because of the drawings provided by themselves, how much would their combat power have been improved?
And how much benefit can you get from it?
Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union are the same, Qiao Youhua's purpose is to take their technology, earn their money, exchange their materials, technology and capital, and then let the Western powers eat each other's dogs, develop their own heads, and take the opportunity to strengthen China's military power.
This can be regarded as a kind of empty glove white wolf, a sure deal.
