Chapter 298: The Truth About the Economic Miracle

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "AA Tank", and ask for a recommendation vote again

However, it is not so easy to invite top scientists on Shijie, especially in those military-related research fields, even if it is not yet famous for the top scientific and technological talents of the future, it is difficult for Hu Weidong to bypass the governments of the future to poach people, so the way through national cooperation has become almost the only feasible way, and it is because of this that Tupolev and Sukhoi came to China. ,!。 But this method also has great limitations, because if the powers are unwilling, you can't exchange the conditions for Haode, the British Rolls-Royce Company is a typical example, Hu Weidong opened a very high price and dug up some of the personnel who were laid off, fortunately in the United States and other countries have also gained, put together to barely form an aero-engine research group, after the Anti-Japanese War reorganization, the Red Party with a "legal" identity also sent people to negotiate with the British ambassador, Hoping to get jishu support from Rolls-Royce, but was brutally and directly rejected by the British, relying on the blood transfusion of the colonies, now the British have basically come out of the quagmire of the economic crisis, and they would rather not make this money than help the future enemy

So far, only the Soviet Union with the same ideology has sent shijie-level experts, but Hu Weidong is actually not very willing to cooperate with the Soviet Union in his heart, because this kind of jishu cooperation and talent exchange is beneficial to both sides, and the stronger side benefits more, but Mao Xiong and China still have historical problems that have not been solved, if there is another choice, Hu Weidong is not willing to make it stronger, relatively speaking, he prefers to cooperate with Western countries, on the one hand, Western countries have a higher level of science and technology, It can be of greater help to China; On the other hand, apart from the United Kingdom, they at least do not have territorial disputes with China, and even the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and southern Tibet are far less than the interests of the lost territories in the north and Outer Mongolia, not to mention the decline of the British national power. Compared to the Soviet Union, which would have become even stronger in the coming period, the threat was far from that.

However, with the Soviet Union's "case" of taking advantage of the economic crisis to quickly complete industrialization, the Western powers have always been afraid of China's real revival, so Hu Weidong's Jihua was resistant from the beginning. The attitude of the British has already been mentioned above, and there is no need to say more. The Popular Front, which came to power in France in 1936, was "left in shape, real right" in its bones, although it wore the skin of a left-wing, and they were equally reluctant to provide military assistance, while the French Communist Party at this time was subservient to the Soviet Union. Asking them for help is not much different from working directly with the Soviet Union. As for the spaghetti that performed the worst during World War II, it was directly ignored by Hu Weidong.

Relatively speaking, those small and strong countries that have jishu advantages in some aspects can fight for it, such as Switzerland, the three Low Countries, the Nordic countries, etc., and the scientific and technological level of these countries is not bad. But because the country is too small, the industrial sector is not complete, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. On the one hand, it is relatively difficult for China to bring in personnel and equipment from these countries, and on the other hand, even if these countries are willing to exchange everything, they are still far from meeting their needs, especially aircraft and ships. None of these countries have strong R&D and production capacity. Therefore, Hu Weidong thought about it, and there were only two targets left, one was the United States, and the other was Germany.

The United States, like the Soviet Union, is a future enemy, and the threat may be even greater in the long run. However, because the United States is much stronger than China at present, there is no substantial difference between 1:100 and 1:200, and the United States does not have much ambition at least in terms of territory, so Hu Weidong hopes to carry out exchanges and cooperation with the United States more than the Soviet Union. However, the Americans also hoped that Japan would contain the Soviet Union. He is not willing to turn his face with it prematurely, not to mention that there is still an ideological gap between the Chinese Red Party and the United States. It's okay to do some civilian business for commercial interests, but it is obviously unrealistic to expect the Americans to assist the military jishu. Moreover, Hu Weidong is not in a hurry to fight a war now, and the demand for advanced weapons is not so great, and Hu Weidong is absolutely unwilling to take out strategically important weapons such as cloud burst bombs, so it is difficult to get the Americans to change their attitude

For Germany, the good things in Hu Weidong's memory are of great value, and Dr. Hans, the head of the German Observation Mission in Luoyang, immediately lit up after seeing the design of the Panther tank, but the mustache has not yet completely given up on Japan, and more importantly, if Germany agrees to the conditions that Hu Weidong demanded, Germany's first-class industrial research and production will be affected within one or two years, and with the continuous increase of foreign debt, the so-called "economic miracle" illusion of Nazi Germany is almost impossible to maintain. The mustache is now bent on expanding aggression to defuse the crisis (the purpose is to plunder wealth to fill the funding gap, to divert domestic contradictions, and to strengthen national strength as a backing for debts). Even if some of Hu Weidong's private statements were reported back by the head of the regiment, the mustache also realized that there were indeed irreconcilable contradictions between China and the Soviet Union, and China and Germany were far apart, so the ideological opposition would not lead to a conflict of national interests between the two countries for a long time

That is to say, if the Red Party wants to cooperate militarily with Germany (including civilian jishu with a major military relationship such as 10,000-ton hydraulic presses), it is useless to just give new weapons design drawings and other quid pro quo, and must pay a large amount of hard currency (limited to gold and silver, dollars and pounds) that can sustain the German treasury for an extra year, and the Germans may have the patience to cooperate with the Red Party to develop those new weapons, and provide them with a short period of time will weaken Germany Those core talents and jishu equipment of engineering research and production capacity

Hu Weidong didn't realize this at first, until he found out that the Germans were obviously moved, but they were still unwilling to agree to cooperate, and he became suspicious of this unreasonable situation, and the "Dr. Schacht" mentioned by the Germans in the conversation suddenly reminded him of an article he had read before crossing to expose the truth about the Nazi economic miracle

Note 1: The Daladier government's policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany is a testament to this, as evidenced by the Spanish Civil War's non-support for the Spanish Republic, and even more so by tearing up the face of the French Communist Party, which had helped him come to power, even though they were largely to blame for this serious setback.
