"Bang, bang, bang." The train was speeding along the rails into the distance. The early summer weather made people sleepy. So most people on the train were swaying with the shaking of the carriage. Du Yuming was writing carefully
journal.
I benefited a lot from the conversation with General Guderian in Germany. The general’s understanding of armored warfare is amazing. He taught me that the use of armor cannot be too rigid and needs to be used flexibly. He is worthy of being the first person in German armored warfare. But in
During the conversation, General Guderian believed that his understanding of armored warfare was far inferior to that of General Hoffman. He hoped that during this visit, he could pay a visit to General Hoffman...
While Du Yuming was writing notes carefully, there was a knock on the door. "Brother Guangting, can I come in?"
Du Yuming knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and immediately said loudly, "Brother Frank, do you still need to be so polite between you and me? Come in."
Gui Yongqing pushed the door open, saw the diary lying aside, and said with a smile, "Hey, I'm still writing a diary, so I didn't bother you."
"Nothing to disturb me, I'm just bored and writing to pass the time."
Faced with Gui Yongqing's words, Du Yuming explained casually and asked curiously, "Brother Frank, why do you have time to come to my place?"
"Don't I miss you?"
"speak English."
"It's boring to stay in the carriage, and I have nothing to talk about with other people. I can only catch up with you, an old classmate."
After finishing speaking, Gui Yongqing looked at Du Yuming with envy. "This time you are much more powerful than me, Commander of the Armored Division."
Hearing Gui Yongqing's words, Du Yuming quickly clarified. "This is nothing to say. Brother Frank, please don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Du Yuming quickly clarified his words, Gui Yongqing immediately said, "What nonsense? One of the items during this visit is to purchase tanks and armored vehicles for Brother Guangting. How can you hide this from me?"
Gui Yongqing looked like he had already understood the inside story, which made Du Yuming feel helpless.
Seeing Du Yuming with a helpless look on his face, Gui Yongqing immediately touched his shoulder and said, "Brother Guangting is really lucky this time. Not only did you get the appreciation of the principal, but you were also highly recommended by Captain Moderke. If it weren't for
In addition, I am not familiar with armored warfare, so I want to compete for the position of division commander.
This is an armored division. Look at the power of the Romanian armored division in the battle between Romania and the Soviet Union. It simply treated the Soviet defense line as no man's land."
Hearing Gui Yongqing's words, Du Yuming said nothing. Regarding Romania's use of armored divisions in the Russo-Soviet War, Du Yuming knew more than his old classmate Gui Yongqing. The analysis report alone was more than a foot thick.
Unlike Gui Yongqing who focused on the performance of armored divisions on the battlefield, Du Yuming paid more attention to daily maintenance and daily training cooperation with the armor.
During the conversation with Guderian, he further let him know that his idea was correct. Only when tanks and armored vehicles pay more attention to daily maintenance can they play their greatest role on the battlefield.
While Du Yuming and Gui Yongqing were talking, at the front of the carriage, the special envoy of the delegation, Minister of Finance Kong Xiangxi, was also talking with Executive Yuan Secretary-General Weng Wenhao.
"Minister, this visit to Europe has achieved remarkable results and has completed most of the tasks assigned by the Chairman. I believe that the minister will be able to get off to a successful start in the next trip to Romania."
Listening to Weng Wenhao's praise, Kong Xiangxi waved his hands with a smile on his face. "Wherever this is, it depends on everyone's help to live up to the chairman's trust. Speaking of which, the Japanese are becoming more and more restless in North China, committee member I can’t sleep at night because of this!”
Although Kong Xiangxi said that this was everyone's contribution, judging from his expression, it was clear that he was very proud of the remarkable results of this visit.
However, seeing Kong Xiangxi turn the topic to the Japanese, Weng Wenhao, as his deputy, naturally went along with the conversation.
"Yes, everyone knows the ambition of the Japanese. However, the country is in a difficult situation. Those outside only know how to shout anti-Japanese slogans. Fighting requires military pay and ordnance. Do they know these things? It is all blamed on Zhang Hanqing for ruining the country. If he hadn't been in Xi'an If they did such a stupid thing, this bandit would have been wiped out long ago. We can concentrate more on dealing with the Japanese threat. The Chairman is still magnanimous and can let Zhang Hanqing be at ease."
After hearing Weng Wenhao's words, Kong Xiangxi didn't want to talk more about this topic. "Well, our mission this time is to visit Europe, and the mission assigned by the Chairman is the most important. As for Zhang Hanqing, let him stay in Nanjing."
It is obvious that Kong Xiangxi is also angry with this young master of the Zhang family. He was fooled and lost his mind. This young master of the Zhang family is really too young. If the Zhang family had not left him a rich family fortune, this young man would have been killed long ago. Missing.
When Kong Xiangxi brought the topic back to his visit to Europe, Weng Wenhao immediately said, "The results of this visit to Europe are remarkable enough. Not only did we meet Hitler, but we also received a credit loan of 120 million marks. Such results are enough to Let’s take a look at the people in China.”
It’s no wonder that Weng Wenhao doesn’t show off. Currently, the national government’s annual fiscal revenue is just over 700 million French currency (because of the assistance from Romania, the fiscal revenue is a bit higher). According to the current ratio of marks to French currency, which is almost one to one, this is a financial gain. A loan of 13% of income. Although this loan can only be used to purchase weapons in Germany, for the current Republic of China, this is not a small amount of money.
This amount of money is 20% higher than in history. The reason is also because there is competition from Romania, so Germany is a lot more generous.
Hearing Weng Wenhao's somewhat complacent words, Kong Xiangxi continued. "Don't be careless. The next visit to Romania is very important to our country. This time, the chairman of the Generalissimo specially asked me to pay a visit to His Majesty Eder to express his gratitude. I hope that the next visit, It would be nice to get a new loan from Romania.
Moreover, the navy also wants to order warships in Romania this time. The Chairman of the Generalissimo has previously promised Chen Shaokuan to meet the navy's requirements. Otherwise, why would Chen Shaokuan come with the delegation this time? It is not for his ship."
It would be remiss not to mention the current navy of the Republic of China here. As the maritime power of this big country, the current navy of the Republic of China only has two or three ships, which are not ranked among the best in the world. Moreover, its warships are basically pre-World War I. An old-fashioned warship. Despite its small size, the evil spirit was very strong at that time. With this little wealth, the navy was divided into many factions.
This time the Nanjing government agreed to purchase the navy because it was indeed in dilapidated condition. Moreover, the current financial situation was a little better, so it was able to arrange some assets for the navy.
