Alfred looked at Wang Haitao and continued to say with a serious face: "The first choice, after you pay a high processing fee, our Krupp company will produce these firearms for you. I, Krupp, promise not to produce any more firearms for third parties in addition to supplying you with such firearms. And it doesn't let those designs leak out.

The second option is that you can transfer the design of these firearms to us at a suitable price. In addition to supplying the guns you need, we at Krupp can also continue to produce these guns and supply them to those who need them, of course, in this case, the price of these guns will not be too expensive.

The third option is that you can terminate the cooperation with Krupp now, and we will return all the information and data and the sample firearms to you. I hope Mr. Wang Haitao will think about it seriously and give me an answer. ”

Wang Haitao didn't have anything to think about, so he immediately replied, "Mr. Alfred, and all the gentlemen present. As you all know, my motherland, China, is a poor and backward country, and my country is not able to produce such weapons at all, even if it is very advanced and excellent. And my motherland will face another war of aggression.

We urgently need such advanced weapons to equip our army, and at this time my country is receiving help from your Germany in all aspects, so I am here today. Since I arrived at your Krupp company, I have not kept any secrets about the design of these firearms, which shows that I have complete trust in your Krupp company, so I have decided to leave the design of these firearms to you Krupp company completely. ”

Wang Haitao's answer made everyone present feel relieved, and Alfred still had a smile on his face. At this time, Alfred said lightly: "Very good, Mr. Wang Haitao, thank you for your trust in our Krupp company. Now you can come up with your conditions. ”

Wang Haitao replied: "Mr. Alfred, I am not going to ask Krupp for a transfer fee of a new mark, but I ask that within ten years, Krupp provide me with the firearms and ammunition I need at cost price." Of course, the number of guns and bullets I need each year will be discussed with you on a case-by-case basis, and it should not be too much for your company to bear. ”

Wang Haitao's words made people in Krupp Company talk about it. At this time, Wang Haitao added: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have another request, that is, the Krupp company can provide me with artillery and shells for routine use in war at cost price. After Wang Haitao's words were finished, Alfred replied: "Mr. Wang Haitao, we need to discuss your request, can you please recuse yourself?"

Wang Haitao said: "Of course. With that, he stood up and was led by the staff out of the conference room to a nearby break room. At this time, Wang Haitao was already thinking about how to deal with Alfred if they didn't agree.

An hour later, a staff member came to invite Wang Haitao back to the conference room. After Wang Haitao returned to the conference room and sat down, Alfred said: "Mr. Wang Haitao, after our discussion, we have always thought that we can provide you with a certain number of these guns and bullets at cost price within ten years, but artillery is not, if you need artillery, our company can give you priority at the market price." ”

Wang Haitao, who had been prepared for this for a long time, did not rush to fight for it, but said: "Mr. Alfred, as far as I know, your Krupp company is developing a new type of tank, right? What do you think if I can provide you with the design drawings of a new type of tank in exchange for the cost price supply of conventional artillery?"

Alfred was taken aback at first when he heard Wang Haitao's words, and then stared at Wang Haitao with eagle-like eyes and asked: "Mr. Wang Haitao, how do you know that our company is developing a new type of tank?" Wang Haitao, who had been prepared for this for a long time, said: "When I was in the United States, I learned through some ways that your army is no longer satisfied with the existing No. 2 light tank, so your Krupp company is developing a new type of tank, is that so?"

Alfred listened to Wang Haitao's answer, and only after a long time did he show a smile and said: "Mr. Wang Haitao, designing an advanced tank is not as simple as designing a few guns, can you have the design drawings of the new tank in your hand? ”

Wang Haitao replied: "That's great, I need a studio and a few assistants, and I will provide you with a design drawing of the new tank in three days." Alfred replied: "That's all right, Manager Lucas will arrange everything for you, and in three days we will calculate the cost price of the gun you need and tell you." With that, Alfred adjourned.

The next morning, Wang Haitao was taken by Lucas's men to a separate office in the building, and after seeing Wang Haitao, the four staff members first saluted, and then explained that in the next few days, these four people were Wang Haitao's assistants. Wang Haitao's any request can be met through them. Wang Haitao checked the office and sat down behind his desk after finding that all the tools needed here were available.

The reason why Wang Haitao put forward this condition is that he knows how eager Germany is for an advanced design tank in this era, which is a condition that Krupp cannot refuse. And I was a tank fan when I was in the army before, and I had a good study of various German tanks during World War II, such as my favorite German No. 4H tank and the later King Tiger tank, as for the Leopard tank in the late World War II, I was sure to design it.

So let's start with the blueprints of the No. 4H tank. Wang Haitao, who was mature in his thinking, climbed on his desk, picked up his tools and began to draw the design drawings of the No. 4H tank. With the help of his assistants and the full support of Krupp, three days later, Wang Haitao not only drew all the design drawings of the Type 4 H tank, but also made a one-to-fifty model out of wooden blocks.

Three days later, in the morning, when Alfred and the staff of the laboratory arrived in Wang Haitao's office, they were immediately shocked by the realistic models and thick stacks of blueprints in front of them. Alfred didn't even know what to say to Wang.
