In fact, Ludendorff's request was completely unnecessary. Zhang Chengtian, who was eager to escape, hurriedly applied to Sickert to go to the Soviet Union early the next morning. In order to hide his identity from others, Sickert also signed a transfer document, transferring Zhang Chengtian to
Nominally transferred to the Army Transportation Department. In fact, Zhang Chengtian only visited his nominal department for a symbolic tour. When leaving, he took a major named Guderian from the transportation department with him.
Soviet Union.
At 12 o'clock at noon, Zhang Chengtian and his party, who were in a hurry, boarded a plane secretly flying to Moscow without even eating lunch. Accompanying Zhang Chengtian were Major Guderian, who was arrested by the Ministry of Transport, and Kai, who was sent to supervise by the General Staff Headquarters.
Major Serling, his girlfriend Bonna, who has been secretly in love with Zhang Chengtian since his fierce fight with Schmidt's bodyguard, and two translators transferred from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Moscow, as the red heart of this era, had a beautiful honor guard lined up early to welcome guests from Germany. Although Zhang Chengtian’s travel plan was temporarily decided, Moscow only received the notice last night. However, this is not
This influenced the Soviet Union, a centralized country, to quickly organize a large-scale welcome ceremony. In fact, Moscow not only selected an honor guard composed entirely of beautiful women, but also asked everyone in the honor guard to suddenly learn a few words in German, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
.The Soviet-German friendship lasts forever.”
Zhang Chengtian, who was a standard beauty in his previous life, had never seen this formation before. He felt flattered as soon as he got off the plane. If Bonna wasn't traveling with him, Zhang Chengtian couldn't even take his eyes away from the beauty in the honor guard.
Unfortunately, the happy time is always short-lived. Zhang Chengtian's vision was blocked by a bearded man who was ignorant of current affairs. The angry Zhang Chengtian suddenly had the urge to pick up his fist and hit it. Finally, he had the opportunity to accept a group of people.
The beauty's welcome was unexpectedly blocked by a rough-looking man. Look at this bearded man, he looks so...
Of course, Chang Chengtian did not end up causing a joke in the airport brawl. He recognized the Soviet representative who came to pick him up - Stalin, who was the political commissar of Tukhachevsky at the time! The acting gloomy face of Chang Chengtian quickly faded away.
But what was replaced by a bright smile: "Great Comrade Stalin, it is a great honor for us to have you pick us up at the airport." Before Zhang Chengtian's accompanying translator could speak, the Soviet translator beside Stalin first translated Zhang Chengtian for Stalin
if.
Comrade, who is your comrade? Stalin, who was obviously surprised at being recognized at once, replied: "Dear German friends, the word great is used to describe Comrade Lenin most of the time in our country. You call me that
, somewhat inappropriate." The Soviet translator once again translated Stalin's words to Zhang Chengtian before the Germans did.
"It's all the same. In our opinion, Comrade Lenin's successor is none other than you." Zhang Chengtian showed his true nature with a smile and complimented Stalin. However, when the Soviet translator finished listening, his expression changed instantly. After listening to the translation,
Stalin's face also became unsightly. After all, now that Stalin had just experienced a defeat, the most important thing to do was to silently do some work to improve his domestic status, instead of focusing on Lenin's position with great fanfare.
Stalin, who was wrongly flattered by Zhang Chengtian, was already a little angry at this moment. Obviously, the person in charge from Germany left an unreliable impression on Stalin. This made Stalin, who wanted to rely on this cooperation to improve himself, defeated.
The image of Stalin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
However, before Stalin could show his angry expression, Zhang Chengtian across the street suddenly became furious. The group of people saw Zhang Chengtian angrily yelling at the German translator beside him.
This time, the Soviet translator finally did not translate ahead of the German translator, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Hurry up and translate for them," Zhang Chengtian kindly reminded a translator he brought.
The German translator dumbfounded and translated: "What do you two translators do? You always let someone else's Soviet translator do the talking. It's like we are taking advantage of others. Look, Comrade Stalin's face has changed. Why don't you behave well!"
"After a pause, the German translator then said, "Hurry up, translate for them."
Stalin did not dwell too much on the matter of blaming the reason for his anger on the translator. Now Stalin no longer had the usual mood of having sex with the Germans at the beginning. It was caused by Zhang Chengtian's big nerve.
Stalin was a little worried, and the only thing he wanted to do was to negotiate cooperation as soon as possible and then drive away this unreliable German colonel.
As Guderian, Kesselin, and Bonner came over, Stalin immediately arranged for several subordinates to drive these German guests to the prepared conference room. Obviously, Stalin lost the patience to beat around the bush, and he wanted to go straight to the point.
.
After everyone on Zhang Chengtian's side got into the car arranged by Stalin, the enthusiastic Zhang Chengtian suddenly rushed to Stalin's car in an incomprehensible manner, claiming that he wanted to deepen the revolutionary friendship with Comrade Stalin.
Along the way, Zhang Chengtian, who did not feel annoying at all, kept trying to talk to Stalin, "Our socialist construction in Moscow is really good, and the scenery outside is so beautiful." "I found that the comrades here are quite enthusiastic." "I might as well just
Please stay for a while."
Hearing that Zhang Chengtian, who was originally planned to be responsible only for negotiations, was going to stay, Stalin felt sweating on his forehead. He didn't want to see more of this reckless German colonel at all. "You can see more if you like, but I'm usually very busy, so I guess the discussion
I won’t have time to see you again after completing the cooperation project.” Stalin replied perfunctorily.
Zhang Chengtian, who was intent on avoiding Ludendorff in Moscow, never thought of looking for Stalin often. After reaching a consensus, he felt contented and at peace.
Next, the two parties who arrived at the conference room even skipped the pleasantries and started formal talks directly.
In this scene, Zhang Chengtian still knew how to be serious. He put on a serious expression and said seriously: "Our German delegation went to the Soviet Union with great sincerity. After domestic discussions, we
We are willing to provide the Soviet Union with machine tools for precision machining to fill the shortcomings in your country's production field."
Stalin still liked Zhang Chengtian's serious behavior at the negotiation table. On the way here, he was really worried about what he would do if the colonel raised prices or negotiated randomly.
But now everything seems much easier for Stalin. At least Zhang Chengtian came up with what he wanted from the beginning. The great Comrade Lenin expressed regret for the lack of precision machine tools in Soviet industry more than once. If he had
If Germany imported some, Stalin would gain more weight in the eyes of Lenin in the future.
"We are very grateful to our German friends for their generosity. So what do our German friends want from us?" Stalin, who was in a happy mood, decided to test out the other party's asking price first.
The rude Zhang Chengtian, on the other hand, went against common sense and threw out all his asking prices: "We hope that the Soviet Union can help us secretly train the air force and armored forces prohibited by the Treaty of Versailles. There is also the import of Soviet iron ore."
stone, petroleum, and various other mineral resources.”
Bonna, who was sitting next to Zhang Chengtian, frowned at Zhang Chengtian's unskilled negotiation. How can there be a negotiation where all the demands are put forward at the very beginning? This is the same as the basic model of negotiating one by one between the two parties.
It's completely the opposite. It's not convenient for you to stretch your subsequent negotiations, nor is it convenient for the other party to increase the price.
However, Guderian and Kesselin, who had different thinking from the Bonner businessmen, thought of something completely different. On the plane to Moscow, Zhang Chengtian exchanged a lot of novel ideas with them respectively about the future armored force.
Ideas with air force construction.
At that time, Guderian and Kesselring were only deeply surprised and admired by Zhang Chengtian's novel and unique ideas for building the future military services.
But now, Zhang Chengtian mentioned this matter again at the negotiation table. The two of them suddenly had an idea that made their hearts beat faster, and they got out of hand!
Sure enough, Zhang Chengtian continued: "I have brought the specific persons in charge. They are Major Guderian and Major Kesselring on my right."
Before Guderian and Kesselin could be happy, Stalin poured cold water on him. "The demands of the German friends are too much. Isn't the Soviet Union losing too much from such a deal?"
