Chapter 378: The Prerequisites for Cooperation (I)
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "zacn", and continue to ask for recommendation votes ^_^
Hu Weidong is well aware of the weakness of China's scientific and technological and industrial foundation, so while relying mainly on self-reliance, he also does everything possible to bring in science and technology, equipment, and even talent from advanced countries. However, with the precedent of the Soviet Union taking advantage of the Great Depression of 1929 to quickly complete industrialization, today's great powers are very close to science and technology and equipment, especially those of strategic importance in the military industry and related fields, even more than "Batumi" after the end of the Cold War.
Even if Hu Weidong relied on the foresight of the time-traveler to seize the opportunity of the economic crisis in 1937 to introduce some emerging technologies and related equipment from the West that have not yet been taken seriously, and even recruited a group of first-class and even super-first-class scientific and technological experts who were not in a good position at that time, including Frankenstein Tesla, due to lack of attention or other reasons, it was still not enough to establish a complete military industrial system, and as for a more ambitious industrial system, it was even more wishful thinking.
Fortunately, Hu Weidong took advantage of the traverser and exchanged a lot of jishu and equipment from the Soviet Union and Germany with some scientific and technological achievements that were ahead of the times, among which the Soviet Union provided huge loans out of political and economic considerations, and provided strong support for many major industrial and construction projects in the border area, including technicians and experts, and the Red Party finally completed the most basic land military industrial system, and the civilian industry also benefited, plus the old Ford and other Western capitalists boldly came to the border area to invest. It's not slow, either.
However, Hu Weidong was not satisfied with this, first, the Soviet Union at this time was not yet a superpower later, and industry was only quantity but not quality. And he is unwilling to come up with the most haodejishu and equipment, if it were not for the fact that China first needs to solve the problem of "whether there is or not", Hu Weidong would not be able to look down on it at all; Second, the so-called "aid" of the Soviet Union was all obtained by Hu Weidong in exchange for science and technology that was ahead of the times, especially military science and technology. Therefore, the benefits of the Soviet Union are actually even greater than those of China, and its national strength, especially its military strength, will be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, Hu Weidong actually hopes to carry out deeper cooperation with Germany. On the one hand, Germany's scientific and technological level is far more advanced than that of the Soviet Union, especially the naval equipment including submarines, which is beyond the reach of the Soviet Union, and is also more in line with the development direction of the Chinese Navy's "flying and fast" in the future; On the other hand. Even if Germany becomes stronger because of Jishu cooperation, it is the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union that are unlucky, China and Germany are thousands of miles away, and there is no irreconcilable conflict of interest between them, so Hu Weidong dares to come up with more scientific and technological achievements as exchange chips, and the more chips exchanged, the more good things that can be exchanged
In addition, Germany as the initiator of the European war. In the past few years, the Germans have been frantically expanding their armaments, and the Germans' desire for advanced weapons is naturally far from being comparable to that of other countries, so it is natural for Hu Weidong to think that he can sell them at a higher price than to sell them to other buyers. At the same time, once the war broke out in Europe, because the sea supremacy was definitely in the hands of the British. It will be difficult for China to import any more large-scale equipment from Germany, and it will not be China's turn to think about the division of the German heritage after the war, so Hu Weidong's jihua must be realized before the outbreak of the European war, so he attaches unprecedented importance to it and hopes that it can be done as soon as possible, but the actual operation is not as simple as Hu Weidong expected.
It turned out that the so-called "economic miracle" concocted by the mustache was actually at the cost of a large amount of borrowing, and because Germany used most of the borrowed foreign loans for military spending, although they had "recovered economically", they were increasingly unable to repay the loans of the financial oligarchs of foreign countries, especially the United States, which were already almost astronomical, because they could not obtain the hard currency that Germany urgently needed through exports, even if it was only interest.
In fact, since the mustache came to power, Germany has been delaying the repayment of these foreign debts again and again, and the reason why the creditors of the United States, Britain and France can still tolerate it is only because of the image of the "anti-communist vanguard" that the mustache has worked hard to create. But although the mustache is crazy, he is not a fool, and it is impossible to use Germany's current national strength, which has no advantage, to fight to the death with the Soviet Union, which looks like a giant, and let the United States, Britain and France be the fishermen who benefit; However, the financial oligarchs of the United States, Britain, and France are also not wronged, and it is okay if Germany does not repay its debts, but on the one hand, the mustache is desperately expanding its armaments and warfare, and on the other hand, it does not dare to take substantive hostile actions against the Soviet Union, and even the two countries are secretly colluding and colluding. If this situation continues, it will not be long before the monopoly capitalists of the three countries will use economic and even military means to directly force debts, and then the mustache will either be forced to act as a pawn against the Soviet Union first, and no matter what the victory or defeat, the fishermen of the United States, Britain and France will benefit, thus burying the hope of German revival; Either they can sit back and watch the illusion of an "economic miracle" be exposed, and then the Nazi government will inevitably fall, and all the efforts of the mustache over the years will be lost
Therefore, the mustache could only preemptively attack Britain, France and their allies, and although this road was also difficult, it was much more certain than fighting the Soviet Union first. Once the "blitzkrieg" is successful, Germany will be able to quickly acquire at least the same industrial and human resources as a new Germany, so that it will have the confidence to completely settle its debts with the United States, the number one creditor, and at the same time plunder wealth to fill the funding gap and divert domestic conflicts through the "revenge" war.
Although Mustache Jihua also planned to use the fear and hatred of the United States, Britain, France and other Western countries for the Soviet Union to blackmail them a few more times, because his personal credit had been seriously overdrawn, Mustache himself did not know how many times he would succeed in deceiving them. In the case that a European war may break out at any time, it is naturally impossible for the mustache to think too long-term, even if he has now realized that there are irreconcilable contradictions between China and the Soviet Union, and China and Germany are far apart, so the ideological confrontation will not lead to a conflict of national interests between the two countries for a long time. Or even buying too much machinery and equipment (to be continued. )
