Chapter 374 Long live the friendship between the Soviet Union and Germany
Yu Qiaqing quickly took out a notebook from the table and said, "This is what Mr. Tan Kah Kee asked me to pass on to you. We are going to Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces this year. Although the Chongqing government tried not to publicize it, it still caused great concern abroad.
It was a sensation. The Nanyang Overseas Chinese Association was very excited when they learned from Tan Kah Kee that we were building heavy industry. Mr. Tan Kah Kee recruited a large number of heavy industry workers in Nanyang, and also opened related schools in Nanyang to train workers. Originally, according to what Mr. Tan Kah Kee meant,
Chongqing and our Yan'an each have half of the workers. Unfortunately, Chongqing doesn't want these workers at all. After all, Chongqing doesn't even have the materials, so it's useless to ask for them, so they replaced them with a fleet of cars. Now these more than 5,000 industrial workers are ready to come
Yan'an, this is the list, but the question is how to get here."
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Really? That's great. What we need most now are these skilled workers. It's a bit difficult to come here with five thousand people. In this way, from Fujian to Jiangxi, from
The New Fourth Army is responsible for escorting them to Shandong, then from Shandong to Hebei, and finally into Shanxi. I will report to the chairman immediately."
Seeing Jiang Cheng's excitement, Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but proudly said, "That's right, we have put a lot of effort into these people. In addition, some of the students we sent to study abroad will graduate next year, so we also have to consider it."
Should we let them further their studies or let them return to China?"
Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Let them continue their studies. We are not short of money. There is still war in the country and there is no good environment when they come back. They can learn more. How come they graduated so quickly? Hasn't it only been two years?"
"
Yu Qiaqing smiled and touched his beard and said, "Our children are very hard-working. They all know their mission and they study by comparison abroad. Once someone slacks off, they will be criticized by everyone, so most of them use
I learned four years of content in two years.”
Jiang Cheng sighed and nodded and said, "These people will become the main force of our scientific research in the future. Okay, then I will go see the chairman first."
When Chairman Mao learned about it, he was naturally overjoyed and immediately sent troops along the route to put the matter at the highest level. At this time, the industrial workers of the Eighth Route Army had already formed several major groups including Jews, overseas Chinese, European and American workers, and local workers.
Interacting with each other and learning from each other led to the rapid development of industrial power in the entire red zone.
--Berlin
Hitler looked at Ishihara smiling across from him with some boredom. From the bottom of his heart, Hitler didn't think highly of Japan, and even disliked Japan.
These all come from interests. After Japan attacked China, in order to win over Germany, it specially proposed that China could provide Germany with things that Japan could also provide after occupying China.
At that time, the Chinese army was retreating steadily, the German weapons divisions were completely lost, and the fertile areas of Pingjin and Pingjin in the southeast and Hebei provinces were all in the hands of the Japanese army. Hitler could not see any hope of victory in China. During the battle of Wuhan, Hitler also announced that he recognized Manchukuo.
, the relationship with the Chinese government has basically been severed. I thought that Japan would really provide enough resources to itself as promised, but who would have thought that the tungsten mine that Germany needs most, Japan itself has not reached the main mining area, and can only be found in the corners.
The tungsten ore obtained through mining is not enough for itself, let alone providing it to Germany.
Moreover, in Hitler's mind, the Germans have always been the noblest race, and foreign races such as Asians are inferior races. However, in Japanese theory, the Japanese are the descendants of gods. This conflict of views can be seen among the people of the two countries.
It was said that it was extremely noisy.
Ishihara smiled and bowed and said, "Dear head of state, on behalf of the Emperor of Japan, we offer you our most sincere greetings."
Hitler nodded and said, "Thank you. I also wish him good health. What are you doing here this time?"
Ishihara smiled and waved, Sejima stepped forward and handed a stack of materials to the guard next to him and said, "This is the information we collected. We suspect that your country's Skoda Arsenal is secretly assisting China's Yan'an Eighth Route Army. This is a branch of the Red International in China.
The red armed forces originally did not have any technical equipment, but in the past year they have obtained a large amount of technical equipment, including tanks, heavy artillery, aircraft and other items. A large part of the equipment comes from the Skoda Arsenal. We have sufficient
There are reasons to suspect that the Skoda factory has been infiltrated by red forces. In accordance with the "International Anti-Red Agreement" signed by our two countries, I hope that the head of state can investigate this arsenal."
Hitler frowned and flipped through the information. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at it. He patted the information and said, "Our Japanese friends, can't even such a force be able to deal with it? I have said before that although China is big, it is not worth it."
Ti, well, it seems they still have some advantages."
Seshima Ryuzo wanted to have a fit when he heard this, but Ishihara Wanji grabbed him. Ishihara Wanji lowered his head and said, "These Red Army are very good at guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Of course, the most important thing is that the main force of our imperial army is dealing with the puppet government of Chongqing, China."
The troops fighting against the Yan'an troops are all second- and third-line troops. My head of state, in any case, it is true that Skoda is suspected of being red. I hope the head of state can give us an answer on this matter."
Hitler rubbed his forehead. He already knew the secret relationship between Jiang Cheng and Yan'an. Not to mention the weapons that appeared in the Yan'an army, there were many Yan'an Red Army officers and soldiers still in training in his own Wehrmacht.
So what, not to mention that he didn't want the Japanese to focus on China in the first place, and even he himself was ready to sign a cooperation agreement with the Soviet Union. But think about the fact that Japan just had a big fight with the Soviet Union and continued to
The Note Society hopes to cooperate with them to deal with the Soviet Union, and they are not prepared to tell Japan.
Hitler said, "I know about this matter, and I will investigate it thoroughly." After that, he looked at Ishihara Wanji with his hands behind his back, as if seeing off a guest.
Ishihara Wanji was shocked when he saw it. He originally thought that Skoda aided China just because it was infiltrated, but now it seems that the German government completely knows the truth.
Ishihara Wanji said firmly, "Our Empire of Japan will definitely investigate this matter to the end, so please." After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.
When Ishihara Wanji left, Hitler became more and more angry as he thought about it. Why should he take the blame for Jiang Cheng? Hitler picked up the phone and shouted, "Let Jiang come see me immediately. What? He's already here?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng opened the door and came in with a smile, "My head of state, what makes you so angry?"
Hitler snorted, "Jiang! Tell me, are you secretly aiding the Yan'an Red Party in China again? Don't you know that we and the Red Party are enemies?"
Jiang Cheng hummed and said, "So the empire is ready to sign a non-aggression treaty with its enemies?"
Hitler's eyes lit up, he grabbed Jiang Cheng and said, "How did you know? Jiang, I know you are very capable, but don't test my trust in you."
The guard next to him stepped forward and was about to catch Jiang Cheng. Hitler yelled at the guard, "What do you want to do? Get out!!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and broke away from Hitler's hand and said, "Okay, my head of state, do you think there are still few people who know this? Britain and France probably don't know, but I can guarantee that Japan already knows, especially that one
Ishihara, you can go and investigate whether there have been many suspicious figures near the Soviet ambassador recently. Besides, do I still need to doubt my friendship with the empire? When have I not thought about issues from the empire’s perspective?"
Hitler hummed and said, "Well, of course I believe you. You know, we cooperate a lot. In Africa, in military industry, in medicine, we are cooperating in many places. But after all, you are not us Germans, but I am still here
I am on your side at the critical moment. This time when the Japanese come to question Skoda, I will help you push back."
Jiang Cheng smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you, Führer. Regarding the Red Army issue in Yan'an, you can rest assured that they are not from the Soviet Union. To be precise, I only helped them because I believed that only they could lead China to prosperity."
Hitler didn't care at all who was in charge of China, and he could still sell this matter to the Soviet Union. But seeing Jiang Cheng being so frank, he was still very happy and said, "Very good, Jiang, I like your frankness. I listen."
Krupp has said that your ideas have always been forward-looking. In addition, Dönitz also told me that you have a new method of manufacturing submarines. I see everything you do. Do you know that it is because of you?
, that’s why the empire has never formally formed an alliance with Japan.”
Jiang Cheng sneered at this statement in his heart. The key reason why Germany and Japan have not completely formed an alliance is that Japan hopes to form an alliance with the Soviet Union as its imaginary enemy, while Germany hopes to form an alliance with Britain and France as its imaginary enemy. This is why Germany and Italy are now signing the "Steel Treaty"
》The real reason why he didn’t sign a contract with Japan.
Hitler probably found Jiang Cheng and didn't believe it, so he said, "By the way, your Skoda has received a lot of orders this time, especially your Wolf anti-tank vehicle, which is very popular and has been booked by many countries."
Already."
Jiang Cheng quickly complimented and said, "Aren't these also bringing glory to the empire? We always remember that Skoda is Germany's arsenal first, and then our arsenal."
Hitler was very satisfied with Jiang Cheng's answer and said, "Okay, you can have dinner with me tonight. I heard that China has started a major counterattack. I'm looking forward to the ending."
Jiang Cheng scratched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I'm a little impatient this time. The result probably won't be great, but I believe victory will definitely belong to us in the end."
Hitler shrugged and said, "I hope so, but a country without its own industry cannot truly become strong. I hope you remember this."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Of course."

Ishihara Wanji was in the car and smashed the seat of the car hard.
Seshima Ryuzo turned around and asked, "General, what should we do? Hitler seems to be very protective of Skoda."
Ishihara smiled and said, "Yes, Hitler probably knows everything. Damn it, it's better not to have such an ally. Hitler is trying to please the Soviet Union, but we can't just let it go. At least we have to get something, haha
, our trip is well worth it, the situation in Europe is about to change drastically."
Ryuzo Seshima said worriedly, "If Germany and the Soviet Union form an alliance, will the Soviet Union attack Manchuria? Zhukov's troops are still gathering in the Far East."
Ishihara smiled and said, "Don't worry, Stalin would never dare. The alliance between the Soviet Union and Germany is only temporary. Stalin will probably be more wary of Germany and focus on Europe. Manchuria is already safe. We can find a way to solve China first."
Problem."
——In a conference room of a high-end hotel in Berlin
After seeing Germany's military power, Molotov and Ribbentrop finally held hands together. Goering, Himmler and others who came to witness this moment applauded. A man who was later known as
The darkest and most evil treaty was signed.
As early as when Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Germany had a heart-to-heart relationship with each other. However, due to the subsequent intervention of Britain and France, this ended without any resolution, and the estrangement between the two countries even deepened. Now, the two most powerful countries in Europe are ready to cooperate, and their
The target is Poland, which is sandwiched between the two countries.
According to the agreement, both parties promise not to use force, aggression or attack against each other, either alone or in conjunction with other countries. If one party is at war with a third country, the other party shall not provide any support to the third country. The two parties also agree not to participate in any direct or indirect action against the other party.
Any group of countries and promises to resolve any disputes between the two parties in a peaceful manner. The agreement is valid for ten years.
But this was only a superficial clause. In the secret agreement, the two countries initially reached an agreement to carve up Poland, and Germany recognized that the Soviet Union had special interests in the three Baltic countries. At the same time, Germany would export a large number of industrial products, such as machine tools, to the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Union will export a large amount of resources such as oil and ores to Germany. The first batch of contracts is worth more than 200 million Reichsmarks. And such contracts will continue to be added in the future.
Molotov smiled and raised his glass and said, "Maybe we still had misunderstandings yesterday, but starting from today, the situation has changed. We will become brothers of mutual assistance. Our two countries will strengthen friendly relations, expand practical cooperation, and expand political cooperation."
We have always believed that a strong Germany is an indispensable condition for lasting peace in Europe."
Ribbentrop also raised his glass and said, "The birthday of the great leader Comrade Stalin is coming soon. I believe that our agreement will become one of the best birthday gifts he has ever received in his life. Come on,
I wish Führer Hitler good health and Comrade Stalin a long life."
Everyone shouted, "Fuhrer Hitler may be in good health and Comrade Stalin may live forever."
——Berlin Chancellery
Hitler shook his head and said, "That's it. According to our investigation, the Soviets stole Skoda's technology. You know, they have been peeking at our German military industry technology for a long time, and Czechoslovakia already has a lot of red."
elements, so it is inevitable for them to infiltrate and steal. The Skoda factory has already started to accuse the Soviet Union. Well, maybe you can also write a letter to accuse them of supporting China."
