Chapter 422: Sino-German Cooperation (Part II)

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "700926", and ask for a recommendation vote ^_^ again

At the same time, the German side still wants to buy a large number of rare earths and other rare raw materials that were not available in the early preparation for war, as well as finished special alloy steels and other special materials from China, according to its rough estimates, the total value is as high as 500 million US dollars (the pricing power is in our hands, naturally it will not be cheap, but even if the resources themselves are not money, only the production costs such as labor and energy are counted, the total amount is close to 100 million US dollars.) above

Now the German negotiators are a little embarrassed, you must know that Hu Weidong is not a guy who is willing to suffer! Besides, China is a poor country (inexplicable per capita), how can it sacrifice itself in favor of a rich Germany? Therefore, don't even think about such a thing as credit

The Red Party really wanted to buy more German equipment, but for the mustache who could not give up his expansion ambitions, selling machinery and equipment worth $3 billion was already the limit of what he could accept, and if it was more, it would inevitably seriously affect Germany's war preparations and even war potential, and it might even lead to the embarrassment that by the end of 1940, when the pressure of loan repayment reappeared, Germany's military strength was even inferior to that of Britain and France.

To this end, Hu Weidong proposed to order 300 Stuka dive bombers and 500 production licenses from Germany (in fact, it is Jishu transfer), and asked Germany to provide a full set of production equipment required at the same time to send experts to help China build an all-metal aircraft factory in Shanghai, priced at 50 million US dollars. As an aircraft that can only play a role under the premise that the Stuka has air supremacy, the Jishu parameters do not need to be kept secret. In addition, the Chinese side did not require that it must be the latest model, which was just convenient for the Luftwaffe to be updated, so the German side quickly agreed to the deal.

The reason why Hu Weidong wanted to purchase Stuka dive bombers. Mainly considering that it has a solid structure, high bomb delivery accuracy, and a large bomb load, it poses a very big threat to warships. Replacing the engine produced by the liberated areas can increase the range to more than 800 kilometers, which is basically enough for coastal defense bombers, and it is not impossible to improve the process of copycating. And the Stuka dive bomber could not do without the defects of fighter escort. This special battlefield in Shanghai has also been well avoided, because the existing airports in Nanjing and Shanghai alone are enough for hundreds of planes to be stationed, and when a large number of field battles and even regular airports in the suburbs of Shanghai and southern Jiangsu have been built one after another, the total number will be even larger, and the devils can only rely on the limited number of aircraft carriers on the aircraft carrier, and which side will get the air supremacy. There is no doubt about it.

In addition to the immediate needs, Hu Weidong also hopes to improve the level of structural science of his own aircraft designers, including Sukhoi, by introducing the Stuka dive bomber, which is the only aircraft in history that can dive bomb at a completely vertical angle and be safely reconstructed, and its fuselage structure can be imagined. If you can figure out the principles and know-how, it's not just bombers. Even the design of the fighter will be of great benefit.

As for Hu Weidong, he did not specifically ask for the latest model, on the one hand, because there is an urgent need for ready-made aircraft, and the production of the latest German model of Stuka bomber is still very limited, on the other hand, because as long as there is air supremacy, it does not matter if the performance of the Stuka dive bomber itself is better, even if the original model can only carry a 250kg aerial bomb and it is not powerful enough, but as long as the number is enough, it is enough to blow up heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers, not to mention that the earliest model Germany has not produced much in total. Most of it was lost in the Spanish Civil War

In addition, Hu Weidong also proposed to purchase 500 of the latest BF109 fighters from Germany, without asking for the transfer of Jishu and production lines, and offered a price of 30 million US dollars, which the Germans immediately agreed without thinking about it. In fact, Hu Weidong was not interested in this extremely short-legged historical aircraft, but out of concern about the I-16 fighter and Stuka would not work together, he still decided to buy some transitions. In addition, it is also a reasonable reason to let Chinese pilots experience the operation of all-metal fighters first.

$80 million is actually a big order, but it is still not enough to satisfy the appetite of the Germans, and at this time, Hu Weidong, who has fully felt the sincerity of the German government, put forward a very tempting proposal

Although Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, the seventh largest industrial country in Shijie under the appeasement policy of the United States, Britain and France (before the German occupation of the Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia was still a country, and later the Czech Republic was directly annexed by Germany, and Slovakia was separated and became a client state of Germany.), but the Czech nation has a strong sense of resistance to Germany since ancient times (a bit like the relationship between Vietnam and China), so Germany was frequently attacked by local rebels after entering the Czech Republic. And the sluggishness of the Czech workers, even the destruction of production, is a headache for the mustaches who are eager to digest Czech industry. With his temperament, he really wanted to arrest all these people and throw them into concentration camps, but the problem was that Germany had not yet launched a European war, so after all, he had to take care of a little bit of international image, and he couldn't just arrest people without evidence. Fabricating evidence is one solution, but it takes time and effort to plan and arrange, and it is worth it for the important people, but for the millions of Czech people who are secretly resisting, if the mustache does the same, the German government is afraid that it will go bankrupt

However, Hu Weidong has long coveted the first-class workers of the Czech Republic, especially now that China has purchased a large number of machinery and equipment in the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has in-depth cooperation with Germany, which has also made an astonishing number of machines, and these machines and equipment need to be operated by skilled workers, and even if it has begun to generally carry out rapid technical education for Japanese prisoners of war, the domestic work in this area has continued to be carried out in depth with the continuous expansion of the liberated areas, and it is still far from being able to fill this huge gap. Therefore, Hu Weidong suggested to the German government that all those who suspected problems could be sent to China, so that the German government could not only eliminate the hidden dangers in the occupied areas, but also get a certain amount of feedback from the government of the liberated areas.
