Chapter 206: Interests First (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
PS: Bow and thank you for the reward of eni.gma.yan.xi League, thank you, thank you!!
In addition, I came back late yesterday, and the words of the manuscript chapter have not been modified, and it is very troublesome to read the revision today, so I will not make changes, and I apologize to all book friends here, including a lot, March is not a professional writer, so it is inevitable that time is tight.
Harbin and Qiqihar fought for several days in a row, and the Japanese army did not make a single profit, especially in Harbin, where Ichiro Kui was forced back by the sudden dense long-range artillery for five kilometers, and the headquarters moved back three kilometers, so that the defense of the two cities did not heat up.
In the face of the opponent's criss-crossing defense system, the Japanese army, which was quite experienced in positional warfare, also had a headache, and they all knew that this situation was not easy to attack the opposite position.
The attack stopped the next day.
The Japanese army needed to readjust, and after some probing, they realized that a direct attack was obviously not something that could be done at this time.
At this time, Berlin's Parisino produced the first Iron Fist in two days, tested its performance, and confirmed that it was identical to the sample, and had already notified the Japanese diplomat in Germany, 'Yugo Shiga', and met with him.
The old and sturdy Paricino greeted him with a few words and went straight to the point: "Mr. Shiga, my friend, we have something very important that you may be interested in. β
"Oh? Do you have new weapons in your country? β
Shiga Yugo leaned forward and asked with interest.
"Yes."
Paricino smiled slightly, and asked in a changed tone: "My friend, do you understand the situation in Manchuria, China?" β
"Manmeng? I don't know what you're referring to......"
"It's the battle situation there, I don't know if you know it?"
Situation?
Yugo Shiga quickly analyzed. They are allies with Germany, although they have not yet reached the level of offensive and defensive alliances and mutual support. However, they are already secretly doing work in this area, such as the support of technology and the mutual exchange of advanced concepts of the military, and it can be said that they are sparing no effort. But if the allies are concerned about the war situation of the Great Japanese Empire in China, do they have any new strategic purpose?
He hesitated. Said quickly: "It is an important place in our Great Japanese Empire, and I still know the situation there, plus the Voice of China a few days ago, I believe that there are not too many secrets there." β
Paricino smiled slightly, not paying attention to Shiga's Tai Chi. A diplomat is not a chatter, he understands and accepts it. He said straight to the point: "Has your Type 89 lost its role on the Manchurian battlefield and can't play a role in covering the breakthrough of infantry and mechas?" β
"This ......"
Shiga Yugo intuitive judgment. The item that the old German fox wants to mention is probably a tank. But the Reich was far less important to tanks than the Germans, and besides, against the Chinese, the current tanks had made it difficult to contend with, and it was only in the last few battles that the advantage of tanks was lost.
"By the way, my friend, let's go to the school grounds to see our new weapons."
Paricino did not delve further into the issue. Instead, he bluntly invited Yugo Shiga to take a look at his new weapon.
Of course, Shiga would not refuse, and his mission in Germany was to collect advanced German weapons. As long as it suits the Empire, it will find a way to introduce research. So, happily followed Paricino to a secret schoolyard.
"Here, look at this tank."
With a smile, Paricino led Shiga to a tank that had been dismantled, but was in active service in Germany.
Shiga looked at Paricino suspiciously. There are no secrets about this type of tank, and the Reich does not plan to introduce them. Take it out, here's ......
But he still looked inside and out, and confirmed that it was the tank that the German army was in service.
As soon as he climbed out of the tank, Paricino beckoned: "My friend, how about looking at this bunker?" β
Shiga had a vague feeling that the new weapon he was going to see today was not a tank, let alone this cement bunker. He followed Paricino to the bunker. Confirming his judgment, the bunker was a 20-centimeter-thick concrete-poured machine-gun bunker, which was filled with a one-to-one life-size model made of clay, apparently to test the destructive power of the weapons used to attack the bunker.
Seeing this, Shiga's eyes lit up. Tanks have large targets, and they can be solved by using artillery or anti-aircraft guns to aim flat, while pillboxes, where shells can't reach, can be used to attack small weapons.
He had just received the battle situation in Manchuria, and it mentioned that this kind of weapon could be aimed directly and the gunpowder was thrown into the bunker at close range, instead of the projectile projectile such as the grenadier can't, so as to solve the disadvantage that the artillery fire could not tear through the opponent's defense, and directly attack the inside of the bunker, causing damage to the vital force inside, so as to conquer the position.
He nodded, and didn't say much, only to say what caliber of artillery was needed to destroy such a thick cover.
Paricino took Shiga to the observation room where the protection was in place, handed him the binoculars, and then pointed to the tank and said, "Let's take a look at the tank first." β
Shiga Yugo raised his binoculars and looked at the tank dozens of meters away, waiting for the image for him to appear and see how this old fox destroyed the tank.
Just as his eyes were locked on the tank, a bright light broke into the camera, followed by a loud bang, and the parked tank burst into flames in a cloud of sparks.
"Huh?"
Shiga frowned, looking at the flames in front of him in amazement. How is this picture the same as the description of the Kwantung Army Commander's Department? It was all tanks that were hit, and then a fire broke out, and the driver and tanker were all pierced by the armor, and the shock wave entered the interior, and even if the shells were not detonated, it was difficult for the people inside to survive.
Seeing Shiga's reaction, Paricino smiled darkly and said, "Let's take a look at the machine gun bunker." β
"It's good."
Shiga is already looking forward to it. If this tank-destroying weapon is possessed, then what armored unit will be able to stop the Empire on the battlefield in the future?
Just as he locked onto the machine-gun bunker, a ball of fire quickly approached the bunker, followed by a loud bang, and before the smoke cleared, Shiga saw a basin-sized hole appear in the front of the bunker.
Looking at the steel bars in the telescope, the inside is a bunker of smoke and dust. Shiga Yugo burst into ecstasy. This is what he is looking for, a weapon that can be aimed at directly, but I don't know if this weapon is bulky, if it is......
"Let's go, let's take a look."
The cunning Parisino has gathered the information he wants, and there is no excessive nonsense. Directly took Shiga Yugo to the tank that was already ready to extinguish the fire and was still smoking.
Hiss......
Shiga looked at the large hole in the frontal armor, and he secretly gasped. This destructive power is already quite amazing, this is a much thicker German tank than the Type 89 armor, their tank can't withstand a blow, and the Type 89 is obviously even more unbearable.
Paricino waited for Shiga to see the tank, didn't say much, and led him to the machine gun bunker again.
"Oh......"
I saw that a big hole was also blown out, and the interior was messy. Those dummy wooden boxes were all shattered, and the effect of impact and destruction surprised Shiga.
"Mr. Paricino, may I take a look at this weapon?"
"Ha Lu Ha! My friend, I didn't treat you as a secret door to such weapons. β
Palicinoha laughed and raised his hand to clap it twice.
With his movements, a group of people walked out of the bunker dozens of meters away.
"This is ......" Yugo Shiga watched in surprise as two people held two tubes, one holding the same tube as them. But there's a little watermelon-like head in the wacky stuff.
Could this be the new weapon he is talking about?
As he pondered, several soldiers approached. Paricino reached for a tube and handed it to Shiga Yugo. After he checked it, he handed him the object with the big head.
"Was that the effect of this weapon just now?"
Shiga asked compulsively and calmly.
"Come, my friend, let's see the effect up close."
Paricino took Shiga's iron fist and returned it to the soldier, and as he spoke, he retreated with Shiga behind a cover wall more than a meter high twenty or thirty meters away.
That soldier after getting the order to start. Squatting down, carrying the pipe on his shoulder, a ball of fire erupted back and forth, and the big head on his head dragged the tail straight to another tank about a hundred meters away.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the tank burst into flames.
Yugo Shiga was completely stunned. That's what he's looking for. And it's even stronger than he imagined, he tried it just now, the weight of the weapon is not large, and it is very convenient to carry alone, with it, it is ......
The moment Paricino climbed on his face with Yugo Shiga's surprised expression, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said, "Let's go, my friend, I haven't had a drink in a long time, I happen to have a reserve wine from the British royal family, let's go have a drink." β
Shiga Yugo Zhilu said that this loves your weapon Since he let him watch the effect, the other party is obviously preparing to call to cooperate or something, but he just needs to see the official reaction, so he didn't mention it, Ha Lu Ha smiled, and the person left the school with a hook.
Soon, the effects and shape of this new individual weapon, called Iron Fist, spread to the Japanese mainland.
Terauchi Shouichi was excited, he is now the director of education, and he still has the absolute right to speak on the Ministry of the Army, after getting Shiga Yugo's report, he jumped up and down, put this matter in the most important position, and tried his best to promote the purchase to fill the army.
The bigwigs of the Japanese army did not reject this purchase plan, and this is a weapon with advanced concepts and advanced ways of delivering ammunition.
After a day of negotiations, various purchase plans were released, and the message arrived in the hands of Shiga Yugo.
When Yugo Shiga came to Paricino's office with various purchase plans coiled in his mind, after throwing out several purchase plans that did not arouse Palicino's interest, he began to drum the psychology of this purchase, feeling that this old fox wanted the lion to open his mouth and was obviously ready to sell for a high price.
Paricino took a purchase plan and looked at it and said, "My friend, we have good things to share with friends, so, since I took you to see the effect of Iron Fist, it is ready to sell to you to make our allies stronger." But ......"
Shiga Yugo didn't interject, he leaned forward, quietly waiting for the old fox to throw out the bid.
Parisino paused and continued, "However, I need to change the way you sell these plans. As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper and said, "The transaction can be made of gold, rare metals, and the price will definitely satisfy you, the quantity of 50,000 is no problem, but there is a condition." β
Seeing that there was going to be a showdown, Shiga Yugo sat up straight and said calmly: "What conditions do you say." β
"The condition is that you will suspend the offensive in Heilongjiang, China, and we will transport some civilian lathes and some civilian production equipment to a business customer there."
"Delivery of civilian lathes and equipment? Going to Heilongjiang? β
Shiga Yugo was stunned. This condition surprised him. This is the enemy of the Reich, why should the Germans do business with the enemy of the Reich? Could it be that they learned that the empire had lost at Heilongjiang and wanted to change allies?
"Yes, my friend."
"We're just doing business and making money, and anyone can do it, even if they're your enemies." β
"This ......"
Shiga felt that his brain was slowing down a bit, and he analyzed it quickly, but he didn't understand why Germany was doing business with the enemies of the Reich.
Paricino smiled: "My friend, it's winter, it's not the best time for the army to fight, you can't fight during this time, and in winter, they can't do any construction, when we ship all the equipment and complete the deal, you can grab it, isn't that equivalent to buying it for you?" β
Shiga Yugo groaned, he knew what Paricino meant, since it was not military equipment, it would not have much effect on the war, and he agreed with what Paricino said, he was very confident that the army of the empire could completely defeat the enemy in Heilongjiang, and at that time, wouldn't the equipment that the other party had spent countless fortunes buy become the empire's?
"The truce is not something I can do, this depends on whether the strategic goals of the empire can be allowed, you see ......"
Looking at the hesitant Shiga Yugo, Paricino smiled and said: "This is understandable, when you ask the military department for instructions, we will discuss it in detail after coming up with a plan, but our head of state attaches great importance to this Heilongjiang business, and their purchasing power can solve our increasingly tight finances." β
"Hmm. Sir, we are allies, and I am sure that our empire will prioritize the interests of our allies. β
Yugo Shiga, who is also not stupid, heard the meaning of Paricino's words, and although there was no threat, it had already shown that Germany was determined to win this business.
The two of them put down the topic and chatted for a while, and Shiga Yugo turned around and said goodbye and went back to ask for instructions.
Paricino looked at the vanishing back, he was not worried that the Japanese would not agree. According to the news transmitted through Christian, Harbin did not smell of a big war at all, and the advance army seemed to have easily blocked the Japanese attack on Shuangcheng. When I arrived at Qiqihar, the guns rumbled constantly, but there was no defeat, and the people of Qiqihar lived very quietly and enthusiastically. Therefore, a temporary truce was not an unacceptable harsh condition for the Japanese.
As for what happened after the equipment arrived, Parisino had the same idea as his FΓΌhrer, as long as they got the drawings of the tank, their deal with the weapons company would be completed, and it would be okay to fight Germany. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
