After listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, Hansen frowned and said, "Zhou, as far as I know, your independent division's current equipment is no worse than our German warriors."
"No one would think there is a shortage of weapons and equipment, right?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a smile, "What's more, China and Japan will definitely have a war, so we should make more preparations. So, Instructor Hansen,
I'm really sorry, I think civilian machinery alone may not be enough. What's more, instructor Hansen, we are old friends. I need to ask my superiors for instructions, but to be honest, Europe is too far away. The specific execution person is my independent division, superiors.
No matter what, the feelings of my independent division must be considered."
After listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, Hansen finally understood that it was impossible to win this cooperation with words alone. The blood that should be shed must still be shed, "Okay, Zhou, I understand what you mean,
what do you want?"
Zhou Weiguo laughed, laughing very loudly. Hansen kicked the ball to him again, so he stood up and said, "Instructor Hansen, my time is precious. As a friend, I want to remind you that you
There is one more chance, now I have to deal with other things, please think about it carefully."
Initiative and passivity in the negotiation field have always come from this. Everything must not be rushed. In fact, Zhou Weiguo is really not in a hurry, and Hansen is really anxious.
When Hansen saw Zhou Weiguo leaving the reception room, he patted his head in annoyance. However, in this way, he still had time to ask his superiors for instructions.
…
Chongqing
Old Jiang was still very surprised. The British ambassador came over and said he wanted to see him. When he saw him, he was talking about the Independent Division. Old Jiang really wanted to tell him that he had nothing to do with the Independent Division.
.But after listening to the British ambassador's words, Chiang Kai-shek did not directly drive them away.
"Chiang, I come here very sincerely to represent the alliance between the empire and China." The British ambassador said and looked at Chiang Kai-shek. After all, Chiang Kai-shek is still the leader of this country. The alliance between countries is naturally a matter of course.
Find someone who can make the decision.
"Mr. Eisen," Old Jiang said, "Is it because of the recent German invasion of France?"
Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's question, Eisen nodded helplessly, "Germany today is really armed to the teeth."
"Mr. Eisen, even if I agree, China and Britain are still too far apart." Old Jiang shook his head, "This is simply too late."
"We all know this." Eisen added, "So, when I come to you, I just want to form an alliance with China, and I don't want China to actually send troops."
Chiang Kai-shek was silent and did not speak. In fact, what he admired most among European and American countries was Germany. He once said to his second son Jiang Weiguo, who was about to study in Germany: "China should learn from a country that is steady and solid rather than full of illusions.
We can't rely on fantasy, and we have nothing to learn from the Japanese - their products are too poorly made, the Americans are too fanciful, and the British are too slow. Germany is the only country from which we can learn something.
They can lay the foundation for us to develop our own stable and solid style."
Also because he admired Germany the most, he began to organize a German advisory group in 1928, and purchased arms in Germany on a large scale, equipped the Central Army, and created the most prestigious German weapon division at the time. Moreover, German military advisors have been helping China train soldiers
.
Until the Japanese army invaded China, Germany had no choice because it had signed an anti-communist agreement with Japan and expected Japan to hold back the Soviet Union and the United States. The Japanese army's invasion of China was not in Germany's interest. At least, no one in Germany's senior leadership believed that the Japanese army invaded China.
Hua is a good thing, so his attitude has always been a bit wavering.
But Germany's actions aroused dissatisfaction among the Japanese. At the beginning, Japan fought consecutive battles in China and firmly opposed Germany's intervention in the Sino-Japanese conflict. Moreover, the rhetoric against Germany was that the war of aggression against China was an anti-communist war. Germany
His actions brought embarrassment to Japan, an ally, and he was really unfriendly. But the German Foreign Ministry also directly stated at that time that Germany could do nothing about the Sino-Japanese conflict, and that the Sino-Japanese war could only benefit the Communist Party.
In fact, the view of the German Foreign Ministry is correct. Over the past few years, the power of the Communist Party has grown stronger and stronger, and Japan's situation in China has taken a turn for the worse. Even before, the Japanese had to find the Germans to intervene in mediation.
Now, Germany has made it clear that it wants to start a war in Europe. As an old empire, Britain is now seeking an alliance with China, and its purpose is obvious.
Eisen was still a little anxious when he saw old Jiang not talking. To be honest, although Britain is far away from China, the transportation is now very developed. Planes can fly and ships can run, so distance is not a problem at all. "Chiang, I know
It is difficult to make a decision at this time, so please consider it carefully."
Lao Jiang nodded, "I will give you an answer within three days."
So, Eisen left.
In Chiang Kai-shek's view, it was not wise to form an alliance with Britain, but it was not bad either. After all, it was an old empire. He knew that the alliance between Germany and Japan was an anti-communist agreement, which Germany and Japan could not
Hide. To be honest, he wants to form an alliance with Germany. But by forming an alliance with Germany, he becomes an ally with Japan in disguise. This is probably unacceptable to most Chinese people.
"Eh." Lao Jiang sighed, "Yunong, let's discuss it together tonight."
"Yes, principal."
…
Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know that the British had their thoughts on Chiang Kai-shek. Even if he knew, he would think that the British might have something wrong with their brains. He had already made his position clear. The British would not go to Yan'an but to Chongqing?
No wonder Britain was defeated by Germany and couldn't stop it.
As for his own side, at about 8 o'clock in the evening, the soldiers came to report that another foreigner had arrived, not the one during the day, and said he was from Great Britain.
Zhou Weiguo laughed, and his smile was bright. Sure enough, they were all cats that smelled the fishy smell, which didn't make people feel at ease at all. But that's fine. Only with competition can there be pressure. China can also get more from it.
benefit.
"Tell him it's getting late now and let him come back tomorrow."
"Yes!" After listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, the soldier went out. But after a while, the soldier came back again, "Master, the foreigner didn't leave. He said he had to see you."
"Just say that I'm going to bed. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo continued to wave his hands and said. He definitely couldn't meet the British tonight. If the representatives of the two countries met together tomorrow, it would be exciting.
"yes!"
As a result, poor Locke was rejected by Zhou Weiguo. In desperation, he had no choice but to find a place to stay.
On May 21, outside the Jinan headquarters.
"Hansen?" Locke got up early and wanted to see Zhou Weiguo early, but unexpectedly, he saw Hansen outside the door.
