Jiang Cheng then pointed to a strange-looking tank and introduced, "This is the Soviet T-35 tank. I believe you may have heard of it."
Krupp said excitedly, "God, how many cannons does he have? This is simply a forest of cannons."
Jiang Cheng agreed, "The characteristic of this tank is that it has a lot of turrets. The T-35 tank has a total combat weight of 50 tons and a crew of up to 11 people. It has 5 independent turrets. However, these 5 turrets are divided into two
Arranged in layers. The main turret is the central turret. On the top floor, there is a 76mm howitzer with a caliber of 16.5 times, carrying 90 rounds, and a 7.62mm machine gun. There are 4 turrets and machine gun turrets on the lower floor.
The firepower is extremely terrifying."
Hitler said gloomily, "What about defense? His speed is definitely not fast, so what about defense?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "His speed is not very slow, it is also 30 kilometers, and the armor is 30 mm."
Hitler held his head and said, "That means our No. 3 lags behind the countries on the east and west, right?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Dear head of state, the No. 3 is just still being tested. The tanks you see have been installed in large numbers. If it is a test, it will be another kind of tank."
After saying that, he took out an extremely beautiful tank. Guderian looked at the tank and his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "This tank is so beautiful."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "This should be the most advanced tank in the Soviet Union now. The A-32 tank has a frontal armor thickness of 25 mm. However, I heard that the latest improved model has a 45 mm gun with a 76 mm caliber. This data is said to be still used by Stalin.
Not satisfied, I really don’t know what weapons your country has to stop this tank from charging towards the Rhine."
The A-32 is actually the later T-34, but it has not been renamed yet. To be precise, it should still be in Koshkin's mind. But since the first two tanks are real, inertial thinking will make Hitler and others
I mistakenly thought that this tank also existed.
Listening to Kong Xiangxi's translation, Hitler shouted excitedly as if he had seen an apocalyptic scene, "No, never, I will never let such a thing happen. Krupp, your company and Mercedes-Benz will work together to create a
Tanks that exceed these tanks, otherwise I can't imagine what kind of horrific scenes our soldiers will encounter when the war breaks out."
Guderian was still relatively calm. He looked at the tank and said, "His armor seems to be tilted. Well - this can greatly enhance the defense. It is indeed a good idea." Krupp shook his head and said, "You can't just
Looking at the increase in defense power, the consequence of tilting the armor is that the internal space of the tank is reduced. Whether it is appropriate or not is hard to say, but it does give us a new idea."
Goering finally spoke at this time, "My head of state, please don't worry, our planes will make the tanks useless." In fact, Goering was right in saying this. The German pilot who destroyed hundreds of planes in history
There were so many that I couldn’t remember the names, but since we were going to attack, let’s attack from other places. Jiang Cheng nodded and said, “Compared to the gap between tanks, the gap between aircraft is much smaller, but the British have a new type of equipment that can
It is easy to know the attack direction of the opponent's aircraft and then ambush it."
Göring was born in the Air Force, and of course he knew how terrifying it would be if the Air Force could ambush, because unlike the Army, the functions of aircraft are often relatively simple, and the divisions are also obvious. Fighters and bombers would be completely one-sided, so he was very excited.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and looked at Hitler with a smile, saying that the information needed something in exchange. Hitler stood up and walked around, suddenly stopped, and said with a smile, "I am very grateful to our Chinese friends for their intelligence help. If there is more powerful intelligence, I will
I will agree to your order and give you more loans, but I will increase the price by 10%. After all, according to your wishes, as long as we accept it, no matter whether there is war between China and Japan, we must send it to China. This will make
We are in danger of falling into war. We German people are peace-loving and do not want to be involved in war, so we must increase the price. Only then do I have reason to convince the people. Also, I doubt your China's ability to pay. After all, this is not
A small amount, does the Nanjing government really have such huge financial resources?"
Kong Xiangxi whispered to Jiang Cheng, "We don't have the financial resources at all. Do you know how much it will cost? Such a loan will bring down our National Government."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I know. Let's get the order first. It will take a few years to pay it back anyway. We don't know what will happen then."
When Kong Xiangxi heard that Jiang Cheng meant that he was not really prepared to pay back the money, he was stunned by this arrogant boy. How could it be so easy to rob German money?
Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Hitler and others, "As for the money, on the one hand, we will pay with raw materials such as ore, and on the other hand, we hope that your country's export price will be reduced by 30%."
Hitler said excitedly, "No, absolutely not, and this price is absolutely not possible."
Jiang Cheng said, "Dear head of state, I believe you have seen that the weapons your country is currently equipped with are already behind the times. Putting them in the warehouse is just letting them get moldy. Why did you sell all these equipment to us? In this way, you can
It will allow your country's backward weapons to be rapidly updated and equip the army with the latest weapons. Secondly, it will also make other countries feel that your country is a peace-loving country and that the recovery of the military industry is just to cope with international orders."
Hitler thought for a while and said, "It still doesn't work. Your price is too low and I can't accept it."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We can discuss the price later. Let's talk about the quantity first. I wonder whether these quantities of equipment can be shipped to China in time?"
Hitler looked at Hess, who had been silent. Hess said, "There is no problem on our side. In fact, many of these equipments are being used by our army. But if our opponents really have reached this level of armed strength, we will
I think we should get rid of these equipment that are no longer useful, especially the anti-tank gun. I really don’t know what to do with it now. It can only be used for shooting."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "These anti-tank guns are not included in the order I gave to your country."
Hitler nodded and said, "Okay, as long as the information you provide is of sufficient value, we will ensure that the weapons arrive on time. As for the factory you mentioned, we will also send people to help you build it. And -
To show our sincerity, we are willing to give you 500 anti-tank guns."
Kong Xiangxi smiled like a lily. By purchasing such a large amount of weapons, he was going to make a great contribution and make a fortune. This was the first time that a Western country wanted to give weapons and equipment to him so much. He immediately
Expressing gratitude to the German government on behalf of the National Government.
Hitler stopped Kong Xiangxi and said, "I have provided you with so much equipment, but I also have a special request." He looked at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that it was probably penicillin and kept silent. Kong Xiangxi had no choice but to ask, "What does the respected head of state need?"
Hitler raised his head and said, "We the German people need penicillin. Therefore, I hope that the government of the Republic of China can give us the production process of penicillin to show your sincerity in the Sino-German friendship. After all, we are providing you with the manufacturing process of a large number of weapons. I believe in this request."
It’s not excessive.”
Kong Xiangxi looked at Jiang Cheng and motioned for Jiang Cheng to answer on his own. Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "We can provide you with the production process of penicillin, but only in terms of principles. We cannot provide strains. In addition, I require all payment for the order."
Qing, our country will provide it to your country only after the factory starts working."
Hitler shook his head and said, "This won't work. We must trade together."
Jiang Cheng replied, "China is a weak country and Germany is a strong country. Since ancient times, only strong countries have bullied weak countries. How can a weak country deceive a strong country?"
Hitler thought for a moment and nodded and said, "Okay, but it must be written clearly. No matter what, we must obtain the manufacturing process of penicillin before February 1938."
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and looked like he was struggling, as if he still wanted to say something.
Hitler shouted, "I heard that none of your penicillin comes in through customs. I haven't investigated your Weihua company yet. I hope Weihua will pay more attention to it in the future."
Jiang Cheng was so frightened by this sentence that he broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn't notice this. Over in the Republic of China, due to the incompetence of the National Government and Du Yuesheng and others over in Shanghai, no one dared to investigate. This was a matter of customs abroad.
It became a big deal.
Jiang Cheng said helplessly, "Okay, we Weihua will agree to the request of the head of state. As for the tariff, we will pay it in time, but I hope that the head of state can protect our Weihua company. We bring hope of life to the German nation. We
They are not enemies,"
Kong Xiangxi's eyes turned red when he heard this. He was very aware of the importance and value of penicillin. It wasn't because of penicillin that he and Jiang Cheng were at odds with each other. Today, this guy actually said that he would give it to others for free? He immediately said, "Jiang Cheng, what do you want?"
It’s clear, international exchanges are no joke.”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Brother Yong, I know what I am doing. This is not my decision, but the decision of our organization. If this arms purchase can be successful, the combat effectiveness of our army will be greatly improved. In this way, when we fight against Japan
How many fewer people can die!!"
Kong Xiangxi seemed to not know Jiang Cheng, "You really just gave up on penicillin?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said in Shanghainese, "Don't worry, it's not easy to produce on a large scale without strains." This was to prevent Hitler and others from understanding Chinese and knowing that Jiang Cheng had a hand.
Hitler and others were not biologists, so they thought that as long as they had the production process, they nodded in agreement, and the weapons manufacturing process and design drawings were agreed upon.
A preliminary agreement was reached, and Hitler asked, "Now can you tell us the information you have obtained."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "The UK is currently researching a piece of equipment called radar."
When Kong Xiangxi heard this, he looked at Jiang Cheng pitifully. He had never heard of this term before. How could he translate it?
When Jiang Cheng saw his look, he knew that it was probably because radar was a military term. As a businessman, he couldn't explain it at all, so he said, "This is an English translation. Just say it."
Hitler heard the radar and thought for a moment and asked the other people, "Which of you knows what radar is?"
Himmler, worthy of being an intelligence expert, said, "Reporting to the head of state, I know that radar is an electronic device that uses electromagnetic waves to detect targets. I have heard of it before, but it doesn't seem to be very reliable."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Indeed, but the British have begun to develop practical radars and have begun to install and use them. The United States has also developed radars with a range of 40 kilometers to detect aircraft. The most important thing about this radar is that
Electromagnetic waves can be used to detect the position of the aircraft, so as to attack or avoid it in a targeted manner."
Goering said, "In this case, the enemy's aircraft will have eyes and ears, while ours will be blind."
Hitler had been hit too many times today and said, "Doesn't anyone in our great German nation develop this so-called radar?"
Himmler said, "I once heard that a doctor at the University of Darmstadt was studying this thing, but I don't know what the situation is."
Hitler shouted, "Find him, fund him, and let him study radar with all his strength. Our aircraft needs eyes and ears."
Hess suddenly said, "I'm afraid not only the air force needs it, but our navy also needs it. We can find the enemy beyond the visual distance and set up a formation to wait for the enemy. I believe this can lead to a great victory for our army."
Hitler nodded and said happily to Jiang Cheng, "Very good, you are very good. Every piece of information you provide is so valuable. I hope our cooperation can be happy. I will let Ribbentrop and Ribbentrop work on the specific procurement matters."
You talked about it."
Kong Xiangxi happily shook Hitler's hand and said thanks. Jiang Cheng motioned to Huang Biao to pack the box and said, "I will give these models to the Führer. I hope that the glory of Germany will be restored soon."
Hitler also nodded and said, "We also sincerely hope that the Chinese Empire can be revived under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek."
On the way back, Kong Xiangxi asked excitedly, "How on earth are we going to pay? The money is far beyond our budget, and I see that you didn't buy a light machine gun, and you didn't buy a lot of tanks in comparison. Is it something else?"
Any plans?"
At this time, Kong Xiangxi completely forgot that he was the person in charge this time. If a suitable payment method can be found to complete this contract, the clause that the goods must be delivered regardless of whether China is in a state of war can make him Kong Xiangxi
Returned home with glory.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Our light machine gun is from the Czech Republic. After all, there are already many of this model in China. Unifying it is more suitable for our logistics. Moreover, our air force is too weak. I am also planning to buy the Swedish Bofor
They have the Swedish 40mm anti-aircraft gun and the Swiss Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft gun, and I am also planning to go to the Czech Republic to see their tanks. I heard that their LT-35 tank is quite good."
Kong Xiangxi asked strangely, "Why don't you go to France to buy it? According to what you just said, I can understand why you don't go to the Soviet Union for international influence, but aren't French tanks better?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Kong Xiangxi and smiled, "You don't think what I just said is true, do you?"
Kong Xiangxi was so frightened that he pointed at Jiang Cheng and said, "You...are you lying to them? What about those images? Where are those models? Don't tell me that you made them up."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't make that up, but most of those tanks are still in the state of research and development. I just told the Germans about them in advance. In this way, all German weapons became obsolete overnight. The Germans will also blame themselves
Why don't you sell it to us if you need it? I think it's true that as long as Brother Yong's words are accurate, I'm afraid they will sell it to us at a lower price."
Kong Xiangxi catered to him with a smile, but at the same time he was afraid of Jiang Cheng Weihua's strength. The weapons he was still testing could actually obtain such detailed information in just a few days. Such an organization actually wanted to annex it at the beginning. If he really
If you attack this Jiang Cheng, you may not know how you will die. Kong Xiangxi is a businessman. Since they cannot be eliminated, they will join forces. Kong Xiangxi immediately decided to curry favor with this Jiang Cheng. Maybe he will get some benefits by then.
On the other side, Hitler and others looked at the models left behind in silence. Jiang Cheng not only left the several tanks he had just left, he also asked Huang Biao to leave several aircraft models. Himmler served as the biggest intelligence
The leader first spoke: "Head of the State, if something like this happens, I will take full responsibility."
Hitler waved his hand and said, "This information must be their most confidential military information. You can be forgiven for not knowing it, but this will not happen next time. Intelligence work must be strengthened." Hitler stood up and turned around and said fiercely, "Those damn French guys,
The British and the Russians are all targeting us. They want us all to become their slaves. We must resist and we must fight. If we continue like this, we will become national sinners. Do you understand?
"
Goering said excitedly, "Führer, please rest assured that we will definitely strengthen training. Now that we have obtained so much intelligence, I believe that the other party does not know it. We can completely develop weapons in a targeted manner. We will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win by then."
Hitler nodded and said, "The Chinese must have been sent by God to help us. They enabled us to find out a lot of the enemy's trump cards before the battle. Now there are only two things we have to do. One is to speed up the development of new weapons."
, the second is to get rid of those obsolete weapons, especially the damn anti-tank guns, I feel sick just thinking about this now."
Guderian said disapprovingly, "My head of state, I think anti-tank guns still have a certain role. After all, anti-tank guns are too expensive. Anti-tank guns can target local light vehicles to prevent our soldiers from facing enemy armor."
The vehicle was unable to fight back."
Hitler thought for a while and said, "We have to find a way to develop a new type of infantry anti-tank weapon. We can't joke with the lives of warriors."
Krupp raised his head and said, "Please leave this task to us. We will definitely develop a new type of infantry anti-tank weapon."
Hitler nodded and said, "Okay, let your Krupp take the lead in the development. After all, Daimler still has the task of developing tanks. I hope to see the results as soon as possible. Well, our No. 3 is already on the drawing board."
It’s out of date. I remember that Krupp’s Panzer IV tank is about to be tested. It needs to be redesigned with Daimler so that it can at least keep pace with the Soviet A-32.”
Jiang Cheng didn't know that his actions this time would greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the Third Reich and create a bigger nightmare for subsequent allies than in history.
