After arriving at the cargo port, the team immediately dispersed, and the experienced team members occupied various advantageous positions, and even two snipers on the tower crane climbed up. Wang Haitao led a team to quickly move in the direction of the "Freedom" freighter. As for the guards on the cargo port, they were controlled by Wang Haitao's men at the first time.

At night, the port is still relatively quiet, and occasionally the shouts of sailors who have drunk too much can be heard, but it does not affect the silence of the port. Wang Haitao and his entourage came to the wharf, and at night, the "Liberty Wheel" floated quietly on the sea like a huge giant beast, and only a few lights on the freighter were still on, and there was no sound quietly.

The gangway on the ship has been put away, but this is not up to Wang Haitao and his men. Following the thick cable tied to the stone pier of the wharf, Wang Haitao and the others climbed onto the freighter without much effort. Wang Haitao's target is the metal materials in the cargo hold, and for the sailors on the cargo ship, the metal materials in the cargo hold are not necessary to guard at all.

Even the heavy metal materials used in the crane on the wharf require a lot of effort to unload, and who will steal these goods that cannot be taken away? Wang Haitao and the others got on the freighter, leaving a few soldiers on the deck to stand guard, and the rest of the people searched around with Wang Haitao for the passage where they lived in the front warehouse. Ten minutes later, a group of fighters spotted the stairs descending.

Wang Haitao came to the stairs, looked down, and took the lead to go down. The first floor is the sailor's living quarters, and the passage mouth further down is blocked by a warehouse door, and Wang Haitao tried that the warehouse door was locked. However, this kind of lock is like a fictitious in Wang Haitao's hands, and Wang Haitao opened the door in three clicks. And then down, it's the warehouse.

Another door of the warehouse was opened, Wang Haitao took a flashlight and shone it in, full of steel, there were various types of steel pipes, steel bars of different thicknesses, steel ingots, and steel plates. Wang Haitao was also excited when he saw so many materials, and unceremoniously began to put them in the storage ring. Soon, the metal materials in this warehouse were all collected by Wang Haitao into the storage ring, and the space in the storage ring was also occupied by more than half.

Wang Haitao knew that this cargo warehouse was just one cargo compartment in the entire freighter, and the goods in this freighter were far from being able to fit in this small storage ring. Wang Haitao then came to another warehouse, and when he opened the door, it was full of brass and copper. In terms of value, the copper in this warehouse is much more than the steel in the warehouse just now, but in the military factory, the consumption of steel is much more than copper, so after Wang Haitao fills the storage ring with brass, there is no need to go to other warehouses. At this time, Wang Haitao regretted that the space of this storage ring was too small.

After completing the task, Wang Haitao and the soldiers withdrew from the freighter safely, and everything was completed without knowing it and unknowingly. Although the storage ring is full of materials, the space of the storage ring is limited, and such a small amount of materials is enough for the arsenal to use for a few days? How can we obtain raw materials stably for a long time, this is what makes Wang Haitao very headache.

I originally wanted to find a way from Lihe Foreign Company, but because of the beginning of the world war, it was impossible for Lihe Foreign Company to transfer the raw materials that Germany was very nervous about to Wang Haitao. The output of domestic iron and steel enterprises is not high, and the quality is not good. The relatively better Han Yeping Company has been basically controlled by Japanese businessmen, and now after the Sino-Japanese war, it is even more unlikely that the steel of the Han Yeping Company will be sold to Wang Haitao.

Just when Wang Haitao really couldn't think of any good way, a staff member of Lihe Foreign Bank came to Wang Haitao and sent a letter to Wang Haitao from the general manager Ren and Donald, in which Ren and Donald asked Wang Haitao to go to Lihe Foreign Bank again and discuss with Wang Haitao on important matters. After Wang Haitao read the letter, he promised to live in a ceremony and a foreign company before the next day, and the clerk left with Wang Haitao's message of resignation.

The next morning, Wang Haitao and two guards came to Lihe Foreign Bank for the second time, and as soon as Ren and Donald saw Wang Haitao, they said enthusiastically: "Colonel Wang, welcome to come here again, I invite you to come over, there is a telegram to be handed to you." Then Donald took out a telegram from the drawer of his desk, and said to Wang Haitao with a smile: "This is a telegram sent to you by the head of the empire himself. ”

Wang Haitao was also stunned for a moment, took the telegram and read it. The telegram was sent by Hitler himself to Wang Haitao, and in the telegram, Hitler mentioned that General Guderian had been awarded the title of Field Marshal of the German Reich for his success in the blitzkrieg. At the award ceremony, Marshal Guderian specifically mentioned to Hitler himself Wang Haitao, who first put forward the theory of blitzkrieg, so Hitler hoped that Wang Haitao could go to Germany and join the German army. In the telegram, Hitler also promised that as soon as Wang Haitao arrived in Germany, he would be awarded the rank of lieutenant general and commanded the First Mechanized Corps as Marshal Guderian's deputy. Moreover, Germany will also provide China with all the weapons and equipment of three infantry divisions.

Hitler's conditions are not unfavorable, which also shows that Hitler attached great importance to Wang Haitao, and this value made Wang Haitao also grateful. Wang Haitao thought about it for a while, although there were many reasons for Germany's defeat in history, but a wrong decision and the battle against the Soviet Union and Britain and France at the same time were important reasons.

Out of gratitude to Hitler for the importance he valued, Wang Haitao sent a telegram back to Hitler, which not only expressed his gratitude to Hitler for his attention, but also explained the reason why he could not go to Germany, and vaguely proposed that hundreds of thousands of British and French troops could not be easily spared in the Dunkerk area, and that it was best not to start a war against the Soviet Union before Britain and France were completely resolved.

Wang Haitao asked Donald to send the message in an encrypted way, and then said goodbye to Donald, Wang Haitao could only do this step to help Hitler, as for his own opinions, whether Hitler could listen to it or not was not something that Wang Haitao could influence. After leaving the courtesy and foreign firms, Wang Haitao came to the Bund again, and he also wanted to find a few more foreign foreign companies to see if he could find a way to purchase raw materials for a long time.

Ran until the afternoon, Wang Haitao still found nothing, went to several foreign companies, when they heard the items Wang Haitao needed, they all shook their heads, only one American company, said that they could find a way to get some, but their asking price was outrageously high, which Wang Haitao could not accept at all, and finally Wang Haitao could only leave under the pretext of reconsideration.

After returning to the residence, Wang Haitao decided to stay in Shanghai for another two days, and if there was still no way, he could only go back to Longzhou first. Just one day before Wang Haitao was about to return to Longzhou, Donald personally came to Wang Haitao's residence and visited Wang Haitao. Donald said to Wang Haitao: "Colonel Wang, the Führer attaches great importance to the content of your telegram, and in order to reward you for your contribution to the German Empire, you are hereby awarded the rank of Major General of the Reich, and the Reich will provide you with the weapons and equipment of an infantry division to arm your troops. The equipment will be shipped into Shanghai by a German merchant ship and handed over to you by Rite & Co. Congratulations, General Wang. ”

This is good news for Wang Haitao, the weapons and equipment of an army division is not a small amount, and with this batch of weapons and equipment, Wang Haitao can pull up a German armor division. Donald also said in the end: "Director Alefred Jr. of the Krupp headquarters also asked me to convey my congratulations to General Wang, and told General Wang that if General Wang still needs anything, the Krupp headquarters will try to meet it." ”

Donald's words reminded Wang Haitao of the shortcomings of his own troops' combat vehicles, so Wang Haitao asked Donald to convey to Director Alfred Jr., first thanking him for his congratulations and care, and then asking him if he could get more heavy armored vehicles and Cheetah tanks for himself, and he would use a new tank and a new weapon in exchange.

Wang Haitao's idea was to exchange the technology of the Type 62 light tank and rocket artillery in exchange for Germany's support for him. Wang Haitao is not worried about the consequences of handing over these advanced technologies to Germany. Among European and American countries, Wang Haitao really doesn't have a good impression of any country except Germany, including the Soviet Union.

In Wang Haitao's view, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Germany to become a victorious country and occupy Europe or even the Soviet Union, after all, Germany is not allied with Little Japan now, and its attitude towards China is also friendly. There will be no affection between countries, and some can only be naked, naked, and naked interests, and China and Germany may not be able to become allies in the future.

Because of the matter of Lihe and foreign affairs, Wang Haitao postponed his return to Longzhou. Sure enough, two days later, Donald came to the door again, this time he came to convey the words of Director Alfred Jr. of the Krupp headquarters, Director Alfred Jr. was very interested in Wang Haitao's proposal, and in order to show his sincerity, Director Alfred Jr. promised to provide Wang Haitao with 20 new eight-wheeled heavy armored vehicles, 10 Cheetah tanks, and 100 heavy trucks. The weapons will be shipped to Shanghai with the cargo ship, and the ship's technicians will decide on the amount of money needed for the weapons after looking at the drawings provided by Wang Haitao.

Wang Haitao had no objection to this, and gave Donald the wavelength of his own radio station, and made an appointment with a code, asking Donald to notify him to come to Shanghai to pick up the goods before the cargo ship arrived at the port. After Donald said goodbye and left, Wang Haitao was also ready to leave Shanghai first. This time, Wang Meili, the girl, will go back to Longzhou with Wei Erxi, and Liu Shiping's family has no objection to this, and is sincerely happy for Wang Meili.

Early the next morning, Wang Haitao and his soldiers left the city in batches, met in the suburbs of Shanghai, and returned to Longzhou County along the original road. After more than half a month of arduous marching, Wang Haitao and his entourage finally returned to Longzhou County. Although Wang Haitao did not find a way to obtain raw materials for a long time, the storage ring was full of metal materials, as well as all the weapons and equipment from a German infantry division, as well as the combat vehicles promised by the Krupp headquarters, and the acquisition of these windfall gains can be said to be not worrying about this trip.
