Chapter 22: Don't Wait (2)

To put it mildly, Sino-German cooperation is a model of cheating, but I don't know why it has been smeared with so many YY color halos. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some people may also say that the national situation was such at that time, and foreign military assistance was needed, and the Germans reaped the benefits and also gave a lot of help to the national government, and from this point of view, the cooperation between the two sides is still worthy of affirmation.

So let's take a look at the cooperation between the two sides, the German businessmen of the Hebu Lou company and the Chinese compradors colluded with each other, one for foreign exchange and the other for kickbacks, deliberately raising the price of weapons, resulting in the price in front of the government being higher and higher, and its selling price has exceeded the price in the international market! For example, the price of the German No. 1 tank imported by the national government was 40% higher than the international market price, and the price of related industrial equipment needed by the military industry was one-third higher than the international market price. ”

Not to mention that the transactions of private companies have nothing to do with the state, even if the domestic moths are forgotten, the transactions with the Hebu Lou company are settled in foreign exchange, and this kind of disguised increase in the country's foreign exchange reserves is not a hell of a matter without the tacit approval of the government.

And the quality of these high-priced weapons is not made in Germany as imagined, as is an example in Falkenhausen's own report to the country: 6 out of 20 Mauser military pistols sampled for inspection were defective (unacceptable), and a 30% failure rate determined that this was German-made quality? There are also military rigging that rust metal components during transportation due to improper packaging, where is a little bit of rigorous German spirit in it?

This is not so much a cooperation between the two sides as a business, in essence, it is the exploitation of the government's blood transfusion to Germany, plus the kickbacks of the compradors in the middle (the Kong family is full of oil), it is not easy for the government to spell out the equipment of those German mechanics.

What is even more sad is that this disguised exploitation is precious to the national government, at that time, except for the Germans who were in need of their own needs almost no one was willing to help the national government (some of them were also politically conditional), perhaps it is this rare and barely goodwill attitude of Germany that will be talked about by later generations.

No wonder people say that prophethood is a painful profession that knows what the future will hold but can't say. Now they think that cooperation with Germany can go smoothly, and they think that Japan will not launch a full-scale military operation so soon (including the Japanese government itself thinks so), but it is a pity that this is all wishful thinking.

Wen Hui, who has a historical reference, now wants to tell the other party that you will open a film in Shanghai for the second time, and then you will lose your capital and the lives of the people in the capital, and be driven to the southwest mountains to survive, and everyone is struggling in the quagmire of war. However, no one believes this kind of "crazy talk" when it is said now, and it may even be misunderstood as spreading rumors for the sake of arms sales.

Although one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, if the government repeats history, it will also have an impact on his development, and this place in Hunan is also a river of blood, so you still have to count on them to stand in front, not to lose an inch of land, and to put more blood on the other side.

"Ahem! General Yu, if I also accept barter, do you see any hope for expanding cooperation? "Wen Hui doesn't count on cash anymore, you can have enough raw materials, it just so happens that raw materials are also needed to open a factory here, agricultural products can be processed into food and sold, and they can also be sold as military food after the war; Minerals and the like are not bad, the current small factories can't digest so much, they can be hoarded, and in the era of World War II, when prices were skyrocketing, neither mineral sands nor industrial finished products were at a loss, and no matter how bad these things were, they could also be thrown into the recycling centers of military factories.

"This ......" I didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to give in! Yu Dawei's eyes lit up, if he accepted agricultural products and mineral sands in exchange for arms, then this matter would be much easier, "Are you sure this is okay?" ”

"Sure and sure." A smile twitched at the corner of Wen Hui's mouth, "If I can, I would prefer to become your new partner after the Germans." ”

"What are you talking about!"

"As a matter of fact, does Sir think that relations with Germany can be maintained like this forever? Although there is a cooperation agreement, it has always been used to tear it up, and the relationship between the Germans and Japan is not bad, and I don't think the German Führer will lean towards us. Everyone understands why the Germans are working with a weak country, because we have what they need, and they care about who can provide it, not who governs. ”

"Be careful!" Yu Dawei's face was not good-looking, Wen Hui was talking about the Liangguang Incident that had not yet ended, the Xingui warlords in Guangxi and Chen Jitang in Guangdong, the Cantonese warlords in Guangdong, raised troops against Chiang in June, and the confrontation between the front-line troops almost broke out into a civil war again. Although the Germans did not get involved in domestic affairs, in order to get tungsten ore more quickly, they sent the economic representative Crane (the person in charge of the Hebulou Company) to bypass the central government in Nanjing and the German military advisory group and directly cooperate with the local government in Guangzhou. If the government does not have rich tungsten ore resources, Sino-German cooperation is estimated to not even have a shadow.

"Why can't you hear the truth? The German advisory group is not bound to the arms business, and not all arms have to be purchased from Germany. And I'm not a complete monopoly, you can continue to trade with the Germans, I just want a piece of the pie. You can also see what I have here, the quality is better than the Germans and the price is cheaper, and it also eliminates the cost of freight and the time consumed in transportation, as long as the deal is reached, you can directly pull the goods from here back to the armed army, which is much faster than shipping from Germany, as if there are few integrated troops that can meet the standard in terms of equipment, right? Although war will not break out immediately, there will be no harm in completing the armed reorganization of the army a day earlier. "One more seller is not harmful to you at all, and Wenhui did not snatch all the orders, and the business of both parties was not affected at all.

As for how to distribute the trade share, it depends on how President Chiang chooses, anyway, his conditions are all here, if you still choose to stretch your neck and be slaughtered by the Germans on such favorable terms, then Wen Hui has nothing to say. Excuses such as political considerations can only coax children, although Qiu Fatzi is not likable, but what he said is right: a country has no eternal enemies, no permanent friends, only eternal interests. What's more, China and Germany have not yet reached the point of friends.

After Wen Hui finished speaking, Yu Dawei fell into a long silence, thinking that it was a simple trip to purchase weapons, but he didn't expect such a guy to follow, this undisguised attitude is really unacceptable, uncovering the skin and showing the bloody facts in front of you is too exciting for the always reserved Chinese people.

But if you think about it, this greedy guy is right, the Germans or the Western powers will never provide a free lunch, that is, Germany is a defeated country in the First World War, and for its own development, it will pull down the dialogue with the government on an equal footing, and it will be difficult to say if you change your identity.

"Who do you represent?" Personally, he definitely doesn't have such strength, Yu Dawei wants to know which country is behind Wen Hui.

"Who do you think I stand for?" Guess what! At this price, at this quality, you can't find a second one in the world at the moment, and the deep-pocketed Yankees are not so generous now.

This is also where Yu Dawei is puzzled, this eye-popping low price and non-cash payment method is not comparable to any of the current powers. This guy literally fell from the sky!

@朔风飞哥: I'm very careful when watching dramas. In the script, it is the Italian cannon of the second battalion commander, but the cannon is played by French guns and Japanese guns, and most of the shots of the prop guns are French M1897 75mm field guns (it is commonly known as Miss 75 in World War I), and the Japanese Type 94 75 mountain gun is a stand-in for the former (this product is a stand-in actor), that is to say, the "Italian cannon" in the play is played by two cannons. Thanks to the rigorous attitude of the prop master at that time, he didn't just use a cannon to fool the audience (damn, now the soil offering in the drama is almost out of the world and overturning the universe).

@一季的武器/Passing by Daily: Watching the Officials Explain !! If you really write about the civil war and suppress the soil offering, then the picture is unimaginable (death is not like this), in order to avoid the river crab beast as much as possible, there is no scene in this book for the soil offering, everyone should treat it as if it does not exist (as for the things bought by the government, it should be used in the national war). The history that should be followed will not change much in general, but please allow the author to "distort" the sensitive part, as long as everyone knows the spirit in their hearts.
