The development of the Messerchmidt prototype failed and could not get the military order, so it was already on the verge of bankruptcy. Give up his beloved career, which was a great blow to any genius. When he heard that he still had a trace of life, he became very excited and walked ahead of Zhang Zuoxiang and the others in three steps.

"These...two..."

Randall smiled and said, "They are distinguished guests from China and they are interested in acquiring your company."

"Don't be busy!" Zhang Xueliang waved his hand: "You are Mr. Messerchmitt, I want to take a look at your works first and then discuss cooperation."

Zhang Xueliang also understands the Air Force quite well, and he still has some doubts about the guy in front of him. When Messerchmitt heard this, he was a little unhappy. He was also a celebrity in the German aviation field, and others suspected his ability. Therefore, Messerchmitt also said: "I also want to hear what conditions you can offer?"

Zhang Xueliang smiled slightly: "China now has two major aircraft design centers, Fengtian and Wuhan. Mr. Ba Yumo and Wang Zhu, who are in charge, can get about 8 million yuan in scientific research funds every year. The military purchases about 500 aircraft every year, and there are more than 3,000 civilian orders. What do you think of the market size?"

After hearing these numbers, not only Messerschmitt, but even Randall took a breath. The aircraft purchased by the Chinese military in one year have exceeded the total of all the aircraft of the German army. This difference is simply unreasonable!

After listening to the translation, Zhang Zuoxiang spoke rarely: "Mr. Messerchmitt, China has a broad aviation market and also needs all kinds of talents. As long as you have the ability, I can make the decision to build an aviation design bureau in Chengdu, and all kinds of conditions will be far better than it is now."

For real geniuses, a stage for displaying talents is far more engaging than how much income it is. Therefore, Messerchmidt immediately put aside all his unhappiness and hurriedly took out his design drawings at the fastest speed, handed them over to Zhang Xueliang, and took them to the workshop and looked at two prototypes.

Zhang Xueliang is an expert in airplanes. When he saw Messerchmitt's design, he was shocked. One of the easiest ways to measure the performance of an airplane is to see whether the airplane is beautiful or not. The more comfortable the airplane is, the more it conforms to the aerodynamic characteristics and the stronger the combat effectiveness.

The aircraft designed by Messerchmidt makes people feel very atmospheric at first glance, especially it adopts quite a few new designs. It can be retracted and retracted landing gear, open and closed canopy cover, automatic flaps, single wing, etc.

Just based on intuition, this aircraft has excellent performance. Zhang Xueliang looked at it for a while and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Messerchmidt, your aircraft is quite good, but I want to ask the liberty, why does it fail during the test flight? What's wrong?"

Messerchmitt was also a little embarrassed. But he had to answer: "It was when landing, the landing gear broke."

Zhang Xueliang nodded: "It's similar to what I thought. Chief Wang Zhuang also designed this structure. There are also problems because the landing gear is too small and too narrow."

"What?" Messerschmidt was shocked and asked hurriedly: "My design is original, how could it be available in China?"

Zhang Xueliang suddenly laughed: "Mr. Messerchmitt, you underestimate China's aviation industry too much. How many air battles have our fighters fought and what rich experience they have. Some things will come naturally as long as they accumulate more data. To be honest, you have genius designs, but you still lack the combination with the battlefield. I believe that after you move the factory to China, you will get more things."

"Okay. Anyway, I'm bankrupt now and I'm just going to China." Messerchmidt also became competitive. If I want to experience it in China, I might have better luck.

At this time, Randall also said: "Willie, I think it is a good choice for you to go to China now, but I want to remind you that as a German, once our army regroups, I hope you can return to Germany to serve."

"No problem, I can definitely do it. Maybe I will come back with a better design at that time!"

After the discussion was made, Zhang Xueliang invested 200,000 US dollars to help Messerchmitt move. As for other funds, they would negotiate after they arrived in China. Just when Messerchmitt moved, another famous figure in the aviation field, Kurt Tank also came here.

He was also the top German designer in World War II. He developed the FW190 fighter equipped with air-cooled engines and became the leading actress in Germany's late-stage air combat. At the same time, he also developed the early jet fighter, which is definitely a great man in the aviation field!

However, Kurt Tanke had just lost his job at this time. When he heard that China was recruiting talents, he recommended himself and came over. After some conversation, Zhang Xueliang found that this guy's level was not inferior to Messer-Schmidt. If he arrived in China, they would definitely be able to bring up two design bureaus.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang was not polite, and promised the best conditions and then all of them ran away. After getting two great people in the aviation field, they focused on Farbourne.

This company is the largest chemical industry in Germany! Farbourne has three major companies, namely Akfa Company, BASF Company and Bayer Company. Anyone is just one of them, which is the world's top companies.

Chemical dyes are Faben's flagship product. Before World War I, more than 90% of the world's chemical dyes were from Faben. They were the first to break through synthetic ammonia technology and coal-based oil technology.

During World War II, the mass production of synthetic fuels and synthetic rubbers by Farbon made Germany break through the resource bottleneck. In addition, 100% of the German methanol and lubricating oil, 80% of explosives, 70% of the black gunpowder and 35% of the sulfuric acid were also from Farbon. In addition, they also achieved considerable achievements in the research of toxic gases. The Allies even said that if the United States had Farbon, there would be no Hitler's war.

Such a powerful company was naturally included in the scope of China's cooperation early, and it was unrealistic to buy it completely. Therefore, China decided to invest in cooperation with Faben to allow them to build a joint venture factory in China.

Being able to open up the Chinese market and obtain the support of China's raw materials is also a good way for Farbourne to get out of the predicament. As a military giant, the German army has been strictly restricted, and Farbourne's revenue in 29 years is less than 40 million marks. It is dozens of times worse than DuPont in the United States during the same period.

Therefore, the huge demand of China's millions of troops is fatal to Faben. Of course, this is also a great thing for China. Faben has chemical dye technology, which is what China's rapidly developing textile industry urgently needs.

They have a lot of core patents in the fields of explosives, toxic gases, coal chemicals, petrochemicals, medicines, materials, etc., all of which are urgently needed by China. Therefore, the two sides negotiated very well. With each other's needs, China injected US$30 million and occupied 20% of the company's shares. Then Faben established a subsidiary in Shanghai to open up the Chinese market.

China has taken a completely different attitude towards the United States and Germany. The United States still has the strength to do so. Those large companies cannot swallow them up and can only poach them. In Germany, China is directly attacking large companies. On the one hand, the Germans are indeed very difficult. On the other hand, China and Germany have cooperated for ten years, and both sides have a tacit understanding.

The German military and political leaders also knew that putting factories in China and being able to move them back if Germany needed them was of great significance to preserving Germany's military industry, so they all adopted a tacit attitude. After all, it is better for talents to come to China than to the United States or even Russia.

It was this tacit consent that Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Xueliang accelerated their actions. After taking over Farbon Company, they negotiated cooperation agreements with Rheinmetall and Krupp, two major military giants, and introduced artillery technology and Krupp armor technology. In return, China provided tank technology.

The German army of this era had noticed the importance of tanks, but due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the initial German armored soldiers had to train like children, carrying paper shells as tanks. With this kind of joke, they actually honed the world's most powerful steel army, which shows how rigorous and terrible Germany was.

China has mature experience in tanks and can fully share technology with Germany. In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang cooperated with Mercedes-Benz and purchased 800 Mercedes-Benz freight trucks, of which 400 need to be assembled in China. In other words, it is necessary to move the production line to China. The Germans also generously agreed. After all, this can solve the employment problems of hundreds of people and also have generous profits.

During this period in Germany, it was smooth sailing. All the things China wanted were obtained. Zhang Zuoxiang was extremely excited, so he sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan and showed off his pride.

However, no matter how proud Zhang Zuoxiang was, he did not dare to slack off at all. He had already spent more than 300 million yuan, and still had more than half of the funds, so he rushed to Munich without stopping.

This is the headquarters of Siemens. What Zhang Zuoxiang wants to discuss this time is to cooperate with Siemens to develop oil. Now China has three important oil-producing areas, one is Central Asia, one is Borneo, and the other is Iran. They all have rich oil resources, and Germany happens to be a country with scarce resources.

But just after Zhang Zuoxiang arrived in Munich, he suddenly received a business card, which was sent by Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party. He hoped to meet Zhang Zuo.

"Uncle Lao Ba, this Nazi Party is a newly emerging force in Germany. It's just that their propositions are too extreme, and I don't really like them."

"No." Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand: "Hanqing, Zhu Yan was particularly explaining when he came. This Hitler was a very important figure. I believe you know Zhu Yan's vision. Let's go and have a visit. Maybe this guy will help you in the future!"
