Umekawa Kuko's body was quickly dragged away by two Gestapo, and the blood pool on the ground was quickly wiped dry. Some red blood stains that were inconvenient to remove in a short time were left there temporarily and will be dealt with later.
Looking at Hiro Oshima who was still full of worries, Reinhardt had no choice but to say: "Don't worry about it. Now that the big shots have made the decision, people at our level can only implement it and watch."
Big shot?! Oshima Hiro's brain couldn't accept this sudden information.
Determined to strike while the iron is hot, Reinhard then deceived: "Major General Umekawa is a radical soldier. He has offended too many people. Among them are many high-level officials of your country who have reached an agreement with us. Sorry, I can't reveal it to you here.
The specific names of the senior executives.”
The truth seems to be gradually emerging!
The shocked Oshima Hiroshi stammered, "Could it be that...you killed Major General Umekawa because of the intention of our domestic high-level officials?"
"Otherwise, why do you think we killed Major General Umekawa when we met for the first time?" With a mysterious smile, Reinhard pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "Mr. Oshima Hiroshi should not be interested in the Northern Movement.
Strange."
"Northern Movement Faction"! Hearing this name, Hiroshi Oshima quickly made a preliminary guess. Although he has been a diplomat stationed in Europe for a long time, Hiroshi Oshima is still aware of the domestic conflicts. The country has always been divided into those who advocate the North.
There are two factions that advance and go south, namely the "Northern Movement" and the "Southern Movement".
The Northern Movement faction regards the Soviet Union as its imaginary enemy and advocates attacking Siberia northward to consolidate its hegemony in Asia. The Southern Movement faction regards Britain and the United States as its imaginary enemy and advocates attacking the Nanyang Islands southward.
In fact, the idea of the Northern Expedition is extremely dangerous. As a time traveler, Umekawa Kuroko will naturally not support this strategy. Reinhardt can easily infer this. Therefore, it is also possible to use this point to make an issue.
It's just a matter of course.
In Oshima Hiro's view, this is a signal, a signal for the reshuffle of domestic forces! And Major General Umekawa is obviously on the wrong team.
It is not surprising that the Northern Movement faction, which has always been relatively strong, would do such a thing in order to achieve their goals. In this era where human life is regarded as nothing, what a radical and fanatical faction needs to take power is not rational communication, but
It’s ruthless cleaning!
However, Oshima Hiroshi is not sure whether the domestic situation has really reached this point?
In fact, the two Japanese factions have been fiercely arguing over which strategy to adopt and in what direction Japan's military power should be focused.
However, Reinhard knew that in 1936, Japan's top decision-makers finally decided to adopt the "North and South Advance" strategy.
According to this plan, Japan's army armaments aimed at implementing the strategy of advancing north and prepared to fight the Soviet Union; Japan's naval armaments aimed at implementing the strategy of advancing south and prepared to fight the United States.
For such a "perfect" compromise plan, Reinhard admired the nerve of Japan's top leaders from the bottom of his heart.
Punch the Soviet Union and kick Britain and the United States. What kind of courage is this!
Reinhardt was too lazy to care about Japan's national strategy. Anyway, the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States were Germany's future rivals. If Japan wanted to provoke them, let's do so together.
However, now Reinhard has decided to add fuel to Japan's provocation.
At this moment, Oshima Hiro, who was thoughtful, had figured out all the doubts. What the Germans did was not done out of thin air, but was done at the request of some senior officials of the Northern Movement in the country.
Since the Germans will fulfill their secret agreement with domestic high-level officials and get rid of Umekawa Kuko, it means that the Germans have reached some kind of consensus with the country.
This is a positive signal in Oshima Hiro's view. The subsequent negotiations must have a certain basis, so his task will not be too difficult.
Ignoring Umekawa Kuko's death, Oshima Hiroshi talked to Reinhardt in a relaxed mood: "Since your country has reached an agreement with our country's top leaders, I believe our subsequent exchanges will be quite smooth."
Seeing that Oshima Hiroshi had already agreed with his deception, Reinhardt also smiled in a relaxed mood and said: "Yes, there have been contacts and exchanges between our upper management for a long time. The tone of this negotiation is friendly, Japanese friends
We will try our best to meet their requirements. The superiors have already given instructions to me, asking me to cooperate with Japanese friends in negotiations as much as possible."
Steve and Ross, who were sitting nearby, were in admiration for Reinhardt's serious nonsense. They even felt the urge to worship their direct leader.
Führer Reinhard is so capable! He talks nonsense all at once, and it’s just serious nonsense.
Today, in German diplomacy, nothing goes through their hands. Sickert, a pure soldier, will naturally not interfere. Even President Gustav is a member of the Socialist Workers Party.
Why should the superiors explain it to him? Damn it, can the leader of the Socialist Workers Party still have superiors?
Oshima Hiro, who didn't know the inside story, suddenly realized it at this moment. Now, all the doubts have been explained.
"Now, I will not beat around the bush with Mr. Hiroshi Oshima. We will completely stop the arms trade in the Far East. In addition, we will not expand the scale of some non-arms transactions. At the same time, Germany will also provide the best support to Japanese friends.
"Good technical equipment will help your country's northern movement and strengthen their capital to achieve strategic goals in the future." Reinhard looked like a tall saint at this moment.
Feeling that the benefits he had gained through this time were enough to receive strong domestic awards. Hiroshi Oshima asked with some excitement: "I wonder what technical equipment you will provide us? What will we have to pay?"
The pleasant Reinhardt smiled generously and said: "Let me answer you a question first. First of all, considering that your country lacks large-caliber anti-tank guns, we decided to secretly sell you the most practical individual anti-tank gun.
arms."
"Individual anti-tank weapon?!" Oshima Hiro's eyes widened, there is such a thing, it is a treasure.
Reinhardt walked up to Oshima Hiroshi and said: "This individual anti-tank weapon is called the Iron Fist Rocket Launcher. It is simple to operate and has significant effects. Once your country equips a large number of this weapon, the Soviet armored forces will not be able to threaten you."
.By the way, this secret weapon has not yet been installed in our country, and it is a first-class secret equipment."
Reinhardt did not lie to Hiro Oshima. The Iron Fist bazooka he sold to Japan is one of the latest weapons secretly developed by Reinhardt based on the drawings provided by Reinhardt. It has a caliber of 44mm and is equipped with a 2.3kg
Equipped with ammunition, it adopts a dome-shaped ammunition cover with higher armor-breaking capability. It can be said that it can completely destroy Soviet tanks at close range.
Looking at the overjoyed Oshima Hiroshi, Reinhard secretly laughed in his heart. This weapon has little use in China. It will definitely be used by the Japanese military in Nomonkan in the future. It can be used to contain the Soviet Union for Germany, so naturally
It could not be better.
As for the shortcomings of ordinary Japanese soldiers who need to take great risks to get close to Soviet tanks in order to use this weapon, Reinhardt selectively did not outline it to Oshima Hiro. Since the Japanese military likes to seek death, then let their soldiers also
Let’s experience this exciting feeling together.
Reinhardt's detailed introduction made Oshima overjoyed. Such a convenient and practical individual anti-tank was tailor-made for Japan. He even couldn't wait to show his merits to the country.
Patting Oshima Hiro on the shoulder, Reinhard said enthusiastically: "Don't just focus on this weapon. We also have technology to compensate for the Southern Movement."
There is also technology to compensate for the Southern Movement?! Oshima Hiro can't believe it. Today's surprises seem to be too many, and the death of Major General Umekawa seems to be quite meaningful. Oshima Hiro almost wanted to die for Umekawa Kuko's death
Well done, one life can bring so many benefits, it’s totally worth it!
The compensation technology Reinhard mentioned was the submarine technology secretly studied by Germany in the Netherlands. To this end, Germany also sent an additional 100 expert technicians to assist Japan in establishing a submarine production line.
After all, Reinhard was quite supportive of Japan's brave strategy of "advancing north and south simultaneously" in his heart. The harder Japan fought, the less pressure Britain and the United States would put on Germany later.
