Chapter four hundred and twentieth nine take what they need
Isn’t this asking knowingly?
If you, Reinhardt, hadn't used the Panther tank drawings to seduce our Empire of Japan, how could I have come to negotiate with you, a devil?
Oshima Hiro saw Reinhardt pretending to be stupid and cursed in his heart.
However, he naturally did not dare to show his thoughts on his face.
After all, this is Berlin, the territory of Germany.
To be honest, he was really a little scared, fearing that Reinhard would suddenly pull out a gun and ask him to leave a last message this time.
Therefore, Oshima Hiro still maintained a warm smile towards Reinhardt.
However, after he finished laughing, he finally spoke out the reason for his visit: "Mr. Yuan is busy with work, so I will get straight to the point. I am here for three things."
Three things?!
Reinhard raised his eyebrows calmly, unable to comment.
"First, I am here to get the drawings of the Panther tank that Mr. Yuan Yuan promised to the Empire of Japan."
Hiroshi Oshima said quickly in fluent German.
"Second, I am also representing the Emperor of Japan to negotiate with the head of state about our army's attack on the French colonies in Southeast Asia."
"Finally, the Japanese Empire hopes to buy more excellent weapons and equipment from Germany, preferably secret weapons like the previous Iron Fist Rocket Team."
What a huge appetite, Reinhard secretly laughed in his heart. Presumably, these devils still don’t understand how tragic their final fate will be.
"It's easy to talk about. Everything is easy to talk about. As long as it's an ally's condition, I will try my best to meet it." Reinhardt answered immediately without thinking.
But, his eyes were full of perfunctory.
Whether you agree is a promise, whether you do it or not is another matter.
For a head of state like him who regards keeping his word as a bad habit, no matter how many requests he agrees to, there is no need to consider it.
"So the head of state agreed to my three conditions?"
It seems that Oshima Hiro has not yet understood that the head of state in front of him always only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses.
Reinhard agreed so readily. Are you sincere? Don't you have any idea?
Everyone present looked at Head of State Reinhard, waiting for his answer.
In fact, it is very easy to guess what the Japanese want. Germany's best weapons and equipment are nothing more than tanks and armored vehicles, individual weapons, and air force fighters that Japan lacks.
There are many things, but some can be given and some cannot.
After all, this is a lesson for white-eyed wolves. The ability to climb trees cannot be taught.
As for how much to pay for other things, it depends on how Japan bids.
But before Reinhard could speak, Oshima Hiroshi continued: "We need 200 me-109 fighter jets, and we will settle in cash!"
After thinking for a while, Oshima Hiroshi continued: "In addition, we are willing to spend a larger amount of money. We hope that Germany can assist our Imperial Japanese Navy in developing a carrier-based fighter. This carrier-based fighter will at least
Capable of taking off and landing on Shokaku-class aircraft carriers.”
Reinhard smiled and said nothing. He was waiting for Oshima Hiro to continue speaking like a lion.
Sure enough, Oshima paused and continued to add: "In addition, we will also visit German tank factories, send apprentices and engineers, and learn German tank technology. What we want to see is the production line of the Panther tank, not just
A drawing is so simple. Domestic engineers believe that if they don’t see your tank production line, relying on a set of drawings alone will have no effect.”
"And!" Oshima Hiro seemed to be addicted, rushing to pour out all his requests: "The Navy of the Empire of Japan hopes to cooperate with the German Navy and share a complete combat summary report. We are very interested in your country's
I am very interested in the operational plan and execution process of annihilating the main force of the British navy in the North Sea. The domestic navy believes that your country's combat report will be very helpful for our future operations against imaginary enemies such as the United Kingdom or the United States."
Fighting against Britain and the United States is good, we should help!
Reinhard smiled and nodded, and said hypocritically: "That's no problem. The friendship between Japan and Germany is unbreakable, and we are willing to help our friends. We can discuss all the things you mentioned. But that's all.
....."
Without letting Oshima Hiro wait too long, Reinhardt continued: "However, we also need our Japanese allies to do us a small favor in Asia. After all, everything requires equal exchange. We have to help Japan so much.
, and you naturally need to meet some of our small requirements."
Naturally, Oshima Hiro also knew that good things are not given in vain, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Yuan-sensei, please tell me frankly, what exactly do you need the Empire of Japan to do for you?"
Reinhardt smiled slightly and took out the plan previously discussed with the War Department: "We need Japan to try to go north again before going south to attack the Far East of the Soviet Union and alleviate the Soviet Union's threat to the European battlefield."
"This..." Oshima Hiro didn't expect Reinhardt to pose such a problem to Japan.
Letting Japan provoke another war against the Soviet Union in the Far East is no child's play. If you are not careful, Japan may be in ruins.
You know, Japan was taught a hard lesson by the Soviet army at Nomenkan last year, and they are not willing to let Japan leapfrog the Soviet Union again.
"I can't make the decision. I have to go back and ask my superiors for instructions." Hiro Oshima answered very cautiously.
Indeed, this kind of thing is beyond the control of a small diplomat like him. His task is only to convey the instructions given to him by his superiors, and other things require him to report to his superiors before he can decide.
"I'm not asking you to go into full-scale war with the Soviet Union." Reinhardt saw that Oshima Hiroshi's eyes were wrong, and he smiled and said, "As long as there is a small-scale battle with the Soviet Union in Outer Mongolia with a scale of no less than three divisions.
But, it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. Of course, winning is the best for both parties.”
Reinhard saw the fear on Oshima Hiro's face and relaxed his request.
However, this is also the biggest concession that Germany can make. After all, if it wants to contain the Soviet military strength, the scale is too small and cannot meet the requirements.
Isn’t it an all-out war? Then it’s not something that cannot be considered.
Oshima Hiro frowned and struggled secretly.
It seems that it is not impossible to fight another tentative war with the Soviet Union. This may also have certain benefits for Japan. On the one hand, it can explore the actual strength of the Soviet Union in the Far East and test the strength of the Soviet army currently remaining in the Far East.
The depth of?
On the other hand, we can see what the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Kwantung Army is after the rectification and whether it can gain an advantage in fighting the Soviet Union. In other words, we can try again whether the strategy of advancing north is feasible.
You know, since the last defeat, the Japanese base camp has successfully copied more than 30,000 Iron Fist rocket launchers purchased from Germany, and equipped them all to the Kwantung Army.
The strength of the current Kwantung Army is already different from that of before!
After weighing the matter, Oshima Hiroshi decided not to agree or refuse, but to use a procrastination tactic to solve the problem, delaying it for a few months.
"I have to discuss this matter with the base camp and cannot give an immediate reply."
Reinhardt seemed not surprised by Oshima Hiro's answer. He also knew that it would not be easy for Japan to fight the Soviet Union again.
So Reinhard turned to smile and said: "Well, I will wait for the good news from Mr. Oshima Hiro. Once you launch the attack, we will immediately deliver everything your country wants."
"Don't worry, I will inform the head of state immediately if there is any news." Oshima Hiro replied.
Then, he stood up and said goodbye: "I will go back to the embassy right away, contact the country, and urge the base camp to make a decision as soon as possible."
Reinhard also stood up and hugged Oshima Hiro again: "Old friend, I'm waiting for your good news."
When Hiroshi Oshima's car left the presidential palace, Hiroshi Oshima in the car stopped smiling and cursed in a low voice, "Bagaya Road, this hypocritical villain!"
Reinhardt, who was sitting in the room, also said with a sullen face to Steve and Ross beside him: "First send Japan the drawings of the Zero fighter that was eliminated by our air force. It is considered an advance payment. Anyway, this is
For them, it is already considered a good thing. As for the other things... put it off until they have no use value, and there is no need to give it to them."
