Chapter 156 156 Guests from afar

"Respected Yuan Xiansheng. As soon as Yamashita Konosuke saw him, he stood up and bowed ninety degrees, looking very modest. Accardo sometimes had to admire a people who could be more civilized than anyone else when they needed it, or they could throw the word civilization beyond the galaxy when they didn't.

"Mr. Yamashita, long time no see!How are you doing lately?" Accardo hurriedly walked over with a smile and reached out to hold Konosuke Yamashita's hand, which was really like two friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, but Anna saw Accardo finish shaking his hand and put his hand behind his back and wiped it vigorously on his clothes.

Konosuke Yamashita came to Europe this time, but Japan's so-called ice-breaking trip, in 1932, Japan made a desperate attempt to use troops in northeast China, and although it achieved a near-complete victory, it was regarded as a heresy by the whole of Europe.

The so-called cutting off people's financial routes is worse than killing their parents, and the entire Far East market is the financial route of many European countries, so Japan is really "killing parents" this time. The six transports from Germany were a warning to the whole of Europe - only this time on a somewhat large scale: 100 million rounds of ammunition and a dozen cannons, and even 20 French Renault tanks were sold to China.

Judging from Chiang Kai-shek's attitude and China's current strength, it is very likely that Japan will make a big mistake in the future Battle of Songhu. At least Sickett's telegram back from China confirmed that the Chinese chairman Chiang, with his superior cunning and forbearance, was trying to preserve the areas he firmly controlled.

The Japanese diplomat bowed again with great humility: "Gen is the first to be born! This time the military operations of the Great Japanese Empire in the Far East were completely provoked by the Chinese people! Europe's reckless support for the Chinese people has caused trouble to Japan and will also have an impact on peace in the Far East!"

While secretly scolding Japan in his heart, the smile on his face became even brighter: "Mr. Yamashita, Germany does not want to see a weak China monopolized by a certain country! In fact, we support the views of the Americans more, and ensuring peace in China is the prerequisite for everyone to make money! However, if the Japanese Empire wants to eat alone, it will have to pay a heavy price!"

We have conquered the entire Northeast without paying the slightest price! Yamashita Konosuke sneered in his heart, but bent down and bowed again: "Gen Xiansheng, the whole incident was provoked by the Shina government, and the Great Japanese Empire was just for self-defense!"

"It didn't help explaining to me. Accardo made a very reluctant gesture: "This time it's the British who are annoyed! The Americans and the French! ”

Germany now has almost only arms interests in China, and because the distance between other economic exchanges is very limited, it is very difficult for even the world's aircraft ME-109C and the world's automobile Mercedes-Benz to spread to China's poor land.

"We need Germany's diplomatic support and an end to strengthening the arms business in China. We even need Germany to withdraw your officers, stop Sickert's operations in China, and ensure that the friendship between Germany and Japan will last a long time!" Yamashita decided to make a direct request, otherwise the Führer in front of him would surely be able to prevaricate himself by talking nonsense for a whole afternoon.

Germany was able to turn the situation of the defeated countries into an equal position under the noses of Britain and France, and it was only after Britain and France tore their faces and occupied the oil fields in the Middle East that they could barely suppress the rise of Germany. Konosuke Yamashita knows that Accardo has a world-class team behind him to help with advice, and it is definitely not an easy thing to "fight" with such a team, so it is better to go straight and speak with interests.

"The Great Japanese Empire wanted so much. Accardo smiled at Anna beside him, waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to give what you want, and I can't give it." If we support Japan's actions in the Far East, then we will lose the trust of Britain and France, which is not cost-effective for Germany, so we will not do such stupid things. ”

"So, what if Japan wants to import German fighters?" Konosuke Yamashita thought for a while and asked, "We are very interested in the ME-109C fighters exported from Germany, and we want to purchase three for test flights and imitations. ”

"You don't have to talk to me, just go to Messersmit. Accardo smiled and said, "Our government has never interfered in the business of merchants, so businessmen are especially supportive of our government. ”

This sentence does tell the truth, Accardo only keeps the core technology that should be kept secret, and once it is decided that a certain weapon can be exported, he will not interfere with where the weapon is exported. The government does not interfere in the businessmen's business of making a fortune, and the businessmen return to the government with fanatical support and advocacy.

And there has been cooperation between the two countries on aircraft materials, and the Japanese company Sumitomo acquired by Germany has developed a high-strength aluminum alloy, which is favored by the Japanese aviation department and used extensively in future fighter jets - this kind of aircraft is still on the drawing board, so Japan wants to refer to the German super fighter design.

Yamashita Konosuke knew that this was the official attitude of Germany, and since he did not stop it, it was a matter of price, and it would not be cheap, but as long as the Germans dared to sell it, he would buy it back at any price - because the Japanese planes lost two Type 90 carrier-based fighters in a secret battle with the Chinese Air Force. The other side is using the HE-51 supplied by Germany, so this time Japan wants to completely surpass the Chinese Air Force.

Thinking of this, Yamashita stood up and bowed: "Thank you very much for your generosity! The Great Japanese Empire is your forever friend." ”

Just don't pull on my back when you're hit by an atomic bomb. Accardo laughed and said, "What else do you want? I don't think you will go to Europe yourself for such a small matter! Let's talk about it." ”

"We're also interested in the battleships that Britain purchased from Germany, so I wonder if the Führer would like to sell them?" asked Konosuke Yamashita, squinting at Accardo.

Japan's interests in the Far East were in conflict with Britain's, and Germany's interests in Europe were suppressed by Britain, and these two countries were natural allies with great reason to come together, both of which were newly industrialized countries and wanted to challenge the industrial hegemony of the old era. This is also an important reason why the two countries finally came together in the previous life and became allies of the Axis powers.

It's just that Accardo knows very well in his heart that Japan is completely a pig teammate, the kind of goods that give away people's heads and sell their teammates: they didn't stab the Soviets when the Germans wanted it most, and they stabbed the Americans when the Germans didn't want it most...... So in any way, it's a very bottomless gamble to pull Japan together to do big things.

"You have to know that German-designed warships have no weaknesses. Accardo said with a proud smile: "Especially in terms of battleships, they have been tested in the Battle of Jutland, and it can be said that the German battleships are the best battleships in the world." ”

"That's why I'm here!" said Konosuke Yamashita, "The British fleet was already difficult to deal with, but now with the addition of German-designed warships, it will become even stronger." We want to be prepared, no matter what it takes!"

Yamashita deliberately bit the word "any price" very hard, and then looked at Accardo: "Anything can be discussed, including the return of the rights and interests of Germany's Shandong Peninsula! The Great Japanese Empire is willing to work together with Germany to establish a new world order." ”

What is the use of taking it back now? In terms of the strength of the German Navy, let alone going to the Shandong Peninsula to show off its might, it is impossible to ensure that the port of Kiel is not beaten into a sieve by the British Royal Navy! It is better to talk about something practical.

Accardo thought of this, nodded and said: "I want rubber! 100,000 tons of rubber, smuggled in Southeast Asia, there can't be any record to prove that this batch of materials has ever arrived in Germany! Germany will not admit to receiving any materials from Japan, can it be done?"

Yamashita thought for a moment, nodded and said, "There should be no problem with smuggling transportation, we will transport it to the port of Kiel in the name of Dutch merchant ships." The Japanese Navy will send two cruisers to Germany to protect the smuggling operation on the way. ”

The two men also mentioned the German-made zuò luncheon meat, and Yamashita Konosuke was very interested, and asked to have lunch together at the Führer's mansion and eat the normal supply of the German team. Accardo also wanted to try his hand at the life of an ordinary soldier in his army, so he arranged for someone to bring some canned luncheon meat from the guard unit of the Führer's mansion, and had a soldier's lunch with the two people under the mountain.

To be honest, the taste of luncheon meat made in Germany is really not very good, the chicken flavor is chicken gizzards and chicken hearts and other leftovers that Europeans never eat, while the beef flavor luncheon meat is made of pork and beef waste, which is simply junk food of junk food by later standards.

Anna, who was eating at the same table, did not use a knife and fork at all, and Accardo barely swallowed it after taking a bite and lost his appetite, so he had to introduce the benefits of this German canned luncheon meat: "This kind of thing has a very long shelf life, and it does not occupy any of the original food raw materials, it can be said that it is completely an extra free military material, and it can also maintain basic nutrition for front-line soldiers." ”

When he heard that the method still had a function, Konosuke Yamashita, who was originally frowning at luncheon meat, immediately became bright-eyed, this kind of thing can completely simplify the supply, so that the Imperial Japanese Army, which was already troubled by the transportation problem, has a stronger combat effectiveness: Anyway, those soldiers who believe in bushido can fight whatever they eat, so luncheon meat is simply an artifact for Japan.

"Moto's first birth!" "Yamashita Konosuke pointed to the iron box of luncheon meat on the table and asked, "Is this thing for sale?"
