Nine hundred and thirtieth eight chapters good business
"This is a betrayal of allies, and I don't agree." Alfred Rosenberg, Minister of the Eastern Occupy Region, shook his head and said: "It is a war time, and the mutual trust of allies is more important than ever. If we can betray allies easily, who will believe us?!"
"Although doing this will result in a bomb design, which will make our bombing more powerful. But what we pay for is our credibility, which is not a good deal for us."
Alfred's words aroused everyone's contemplation. It is indeed very beneficial to Germany in the short term. But in the long run, if Germany can easily sell its allies, then who dares to continue to cooperate with Germany?!
Germany is now facing the Soviet Union and Britain directly on both sides, and the United States has announced its participation in the war. This is not good news for Germany. This is also the reason why Hitler was eager to take Britain.
The position of the British Isles is very important. If you don't get it there, the United States and Britain will have the opportunity to launch an attack on the German-occupied area from any point in the British Isles.
Historically, since Germany had launched an attack on the Soviet Union at this time, even if they were wary of Britain, they could do nothing. But now, Germany has not started a war with the Soviet Union as in history.
This led to Germany being able to withdraw a large amount of troops to deal with the British Isles.
"I think it's worth paying some price." German Weapons and Equipment Minister Fritz Tott finally spoke at this time, but saw him say to everyone.
"At the most, we will give Japan some compensation, such as the opening of some design drawings. I believe they will be interested." After a pause, Friz said with a smile: "At that time, we can say that the design drawings have been leaked, and then give the Japanese some compensation. In this way, they can't say anything."
Hitler nodded. This is a good idea. The aircraft carrier drawings are just for the National Defense Forces, so it's better to trade them secretly. If the Japanese find out, they will say that the drawings will be leaked.
Then Isn’t it just that I can open some drawings for them?! The Japanese have always wanted to get the drawings for bf109, so I just gave them one. I believe that they can’t say anything in this way.
"The most important thing is that the Japanese have lost two aircraft carriers in Shanghai now. We can say that this is because of their own lost aircraft carrier, which has caused the leakage of aircraft carrier designs. It has nothing to do with us." Fritz smiled and said, "Even if we don't trade with the National Defense Force, it is only a matter of time before the two aircraft carriers, the National Defense Forces find out the structure of the Japanese aircraft carrier."
"I think Frizzy's view is very correct. What do you think?" Hitler nodded and looked at everyone. The meaning was very clear: Do you have any different opinions?!
Everyone pondered for a while and shook their heads one after another.
"Okay. Then that's the decision." Hitler stood up and said in a high spirit: "Ribbintrov, this matter is left to you! But the price should not be too low. After all, what we gave them was the aircraft carrier design drawing. If it was just for the design drawing of the bomb, it would not be cost-effective. We should also change to some other things."
"Hi! Hitler!" Ribbintrov stood up and replied loudly.
Hitler then asked the Minister of Weapons and Equipment Fritz Tott, Minister of Aviation Hermann Goring and Ribbintrov to discuss what to change, and then left on his own.
Hitler didn't have to take care of everything, otherwise he wouldn't be busy even with three heads and six arms. He only needed to set a general direction for these things, and the details were naturally coordinated by various ministers.
If they really can't handle things or have exceeded their permissions, they will contact Hitler to coordinate.
The director of the Defense Forces Office in Germany is a lieutenant colonel named Tao Gang. The relationship between the German and the Defense Forces is very strange, and neither side has formal ambassadors.
Germany's office in China is called the "Exchange Office". China's office in Germany is directly called the "office". And Germany has never formally established diplomatic relations with China, both during the period of the National Defense Forces and the period of the coalition government.
After the Nanjing National Palace was finished, the original consulate was abolished. However, it was preserved in the exchange office of the National Defense Forces. Even the exchange between the two sides increased day by day.
The United States can only turn a blind eye to the private engagement between the Defense Force and Germany. The United States does not speak, and Britain is even less likely to say anything. Although Japan knows that there is still a engagement between the German and the Defense Force, it can only accept it with a pinch of its nose.
Both sides are also very low-key and basically do not publicize their relationship. All exchanges are carried out behind the scenes. And neither side declares war on each other.
Everyone understands this tacit attitude, but no one will point it out. Japan needs Germany to support itself, and they need allies. The United States, Britain and other countries also hope that the National Defense Forces will play a greater role in Southeast Asia, at least to hold back the Japanese army from letting them attack the United States on the other side of the Pacific.
Under this mutual restraint, everyone tacitly agreed without any comments on the unclear relationship between China and Germany.
"No! The structure diagram of the bomb has been bleeded heavily for us. We have tried it no less than 300 times to ensure the function of the bomb! I'm not afraid to tell you that this kind of bomb is not only effective for ships, but in fact it is just as effective for fortifications."
In Ribbintrov's private estate, Lieutenant Colonel Tao Gang talked with the Minister of Weapons and Equipment Fritz Tott and Minister of Aviation Herman Goring.
After hearing that this kind of bomb is also effective for ground fortifications, a burst of spirit suddenly erupted in the eyes of the two of them.
"Tao, can you tell me in detail about how to use fortifications?!" Goering was the first to ask. He knew that if he wanted to attack the complex fortifications in the UK, it would be impossible to avoid it. If these bombs were also effective for fortifications, it would be impossible to exchange them for aircraft carrier design drawings.
"After our test, the fortifications of reinforced concrete structures within five meters underground will be completely destroyed under the impact of the 'mace' type." Tao Gang was not afraid to tell the truth, and said to Golin: "If it is six meters, then the fortifications will collapse. If it is seven meters, the outer structure will be seriously damaged..."
Tao Gang had received a telegram from the National Defense Forces, and all the data from these experiments were given to him, but he did not give him design drawings and manufacturing methods.
Hearing Tao Gang said that he could actually knock down reinforced concrete fortifications five meters deep underground. A burst of green light suddenly burst out from Gorin's eyes! He knew better than anyone else what it meant for the bomber if this effect could be achieved.
"And we are using dive bombing. Under normal circumstances, the bombing error will not exceed ten meters. As long as there are skilled bombers who control it, then having such a bomb can easily destroy the enemy's fortification firepower points!"
When Friez heard Tao Gang say this, he was suddenly itchy. But he also knew that such negotiations could not be settled in just one or two sentences. Speaking of war, Ribbintrov was not the same as Friez and Goring even if the three of them joined together.
But when it comes to diplomatic negotiations, even if Fritz and Gorene disdain Ribbentrope, they have to admit that his level is indeed very high. In the early years, Ribbentrope convinced Britain through negotiations, allowing Germany to legally develop its weapons and equipment.
Later, he fought in the Soviet Union to ensure Germany's resource supply so that Germany could conduct continuous resource transactions with the Soviet Union, effectively ensuring Germany's consumption on various battlefields.
So, Goren and Friez were just asking some technical questions. As for the transaction, they were completely left to Ribbintrov to deal with it.
"Tao, my old friend! I know this kind of bomb is indeed very strong. But you need to know that what we handed you over is the design drawing of the aircraft carrier!" Ribbintrov lamented to Tao Gang: "This will put us at the risk of selling out allies. It is fatal to Germany."
"If it weren't for the good relationship between Germany and the Wehrmacht and the Head of State and the Chief of the Tiger, we would never have taken out the design drawings of the aircraft carrier to trade." Ribbentrop paused and said, "So, if you can't come up with the design drawings that make us excited, we have to terminate the transaction. After all, this may affect the cooperative relationship between Germany and its allies."
Tao Gang curled his lips. You have a nonsense cooperative relationship with Japan. In Germany, Tao Gang can see who knows clearly. The reason why Germans are willing to interact with Japanese is that they are completely interested in the fact that the Japanese can hold back the United States in Asia.
Of course, the transaction of aircraft carriers is an unexpected surprise. Although Japan's own industrial capacity has reached a certain level, it is still much worse than that of a major country like Germany with a deep industrial foundation.
Therefore, Japan and I hope to introduce German technology and improve their own industrial level. This is the cooperation between Japan and Germany. In fact, Japan is asking for more in Germany.
Otherwise, how could the Japanese take out their aircraft carrier design drawings so easily to show them to the Germans? Not to mention letting the Germans visit the Chicheng, and even giving the German flight deck manufacturing materials.
Tao Gang actually knew that Germany had taken out the design drawings of the aircraft carrier for trading, which was actually considered bleeding. After all, Germany was really at a disadvantage in exchange for the design drawings of the aircraft carrier.
If Germany hadn't thought about getting England and Geely as soon as possible, they would probably have come to negotiate so happily. But even though they knew, Tao Gang wanted to save more resources.
"His Excellency Ribbintrov, I know this is very difficult for Germany. In fact, we want to get the design drawings of the aircraft carriers, which are also to repair the salvaged aircraft carriers as soon as possible." Tao Gang shrugged and said, "Although the United States has promised us that we can provide us with their design drawings, those design drawings are artificial aircraft carriers designed by the United States after all. They are not Japanese."
"We want to repair the Japanese aircraft carrier, so it is naturally more convenient to have Japanese design drawings." After a pause, Tao Gang said: "In fact, if we don't trade design drawings, we can probably repair them with the technology provided by the Americans."
Negotiation is a process of tempting each other's bottom line and compromising each other. As an excellent diplomat, Ribbintrov naturally knew this.
"Tao, although that's what it said. But if there are Japanese design drawings, it will be easier for you to repair them, right?" Ribbin Trov said with a smile: "And, combined with the design drawings of the United States, you can completely concentrate the advantages of both sides in the future and design your own aircraft carrier. I think this is what you want, right?!"
Tao Gang laughed when he heard this. He was not shaken at all because Ribbin Trov saw through the bottom line.
"Indeed, we have this idea. But if your requirements are too high, we have to give up this idea." Tao Gang said with a smile: "After all, we already have two Japanese aircraft carriers on our hands, so we can only take some time to study it. We can always understand their technology."
"Besides, the United States has also sent technicians to help us. I believe they will help us complete the inspection and transformation. Then, with the design drawings of the US aircraft carrier, it will not be difficult for us to develop our own aircraft carrier."
Ribbintrov sighed inwardly that the Japanese were really not up to date. Two aircraft carriers and four battleships were thrown in Shanghai. If they were more cautious at that time, they would not have suffered such losses if they drove the aircraft carrier to sea.
Ribbintrov didn't know, why didn't the Japanese want to do this? But on the one hand, they need to provide support to Shanghai. Naturally, the closer this kind of battle is, the better.
Another reason is that Japan feels that even if the National Defense Forces are fired, they will have enough time to evacuate. The National Defense Forces bombs were not that powerful before, and they could blow up the aircraft carrier in just two.
The Japanese had never expected that the National Defense Force would develop such a crazy bomb.
Of course, the most important reason why the Japanese made this decision was: they had no oil anymore. Although they occupied Southeast Asia and obtained certain resources, the early consumption was too great. The insidious Europeans exploded many oil fields when they evacuated, and they had to do a lot of work to resume work.
This leads to Japan's resources, especially oil. Even if the crude oil is transported back to the local area, it must be refined, right?! When consumed in all aspects, there is not much saving at all.
The navy's warships are often tens of thousands of tons. The fuel consumed every time they sail is astronomical. The entire cabinet and base camp have a view of the fleet that the less they move, the better.
When they moved, they consumed a lot of fuel, two aircraft carriers and four battleships, plus the troops, waiting. When they moved, the entire cabinet felt like crying without tears.
Without everyone paying attention, Japan suffered a huge loss on the battlefield in Shanghai.
"Okay! You can get the information about the aircraft carrier, but you should not get the combat records of the Japanese Navy and the training information about the aircraft carrier pilots taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier?!" Ribintrov gritted his teeth and decided to grab the rabbit and sell all of Japan in one breath.
Selling aircraft carrier design drawings is also sold. Selling the Japanese military's combat records is also sold. It is better to sell more at once and change the price to a better price. This is the most important thing for Germany.
Goring and Frizzy's faces changed when they heard this. The Japanese army's combat record was not mentioned during the discussion. Ribbentrop's violation of the rules!
"The Japanese naval combat records and aircraft carrier take-off and landing training materials?" This time it was Tao Gang's turn to frown. To be honest, he was very moved. Anyone knows that aircraft carriers can be made.
After all, the National Defense Forces now have two Japanese aircraft carriers. Although they are seriously damaged, they can still be built with the support of the United States' technical support and design drawings.
The biggest problem now is how to put aircraft carriers into actual combat?! The take-off and landing of aircraft carriers is the biggest problem. If you are not careful, you may be destroyed during training.
If you have to explore it yourself, you don’t know how much the price you will pay. The United States has limited experience in aircraft carrier takeoff and landing, and they do not have much practical experience in aircraft carriers. In this regard, only Japan is the most.
"Okay, if you really want to trade this, I can report to the headquarters and ask for an extra technology." After thinking for a long time, Tao Gang finally felt relieved.
After all, this kind of information is the most rare, which will reduce the detours of the National Defense Forces aircraft carriers.
"Of course, I will report to the Head of State." Ribbintrov finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope the technology you provide will make us excited."
Tao Gang nodded with a smile and responded: "I will do my best."
As the topic went on, the two sides had no interest in continuing to talk. Tao Gang politely exchanged greetings with Ribbin Trov and said goodbye.
After Tao Gang left, Ribbentrop, along with Gorene and others, went to see Hitler.
"We need to exchange those combat information and training information?" Hitler kept lit up on the table. In fact, his opinion was the same as Ribbintrov. He sold the aircraft carrier design drawings, so why not sell those information?!
"The Head of State doesn't have to sell it. If the National Defense Forces don't offer enough, we will definitely not sell it." Ribbintrov smiled and said, "I'm just trying to catch their appetite. Unless they come up with skills to share with us, otherwise they won't get our training materials."
Hitler nodded, and he also wanted to see what technology the National Defense Force would use to exchange it.
And at the command center of the National Defense Forces, there was a big quarrel over this matter. Navy Commander Shen Honglie rushed back from Shanghai and handed over all the salvage to Chen Shaokuan.
"Buy! Why not buy?! These materials are more important than aircraft carriers. With them, we can lose less pilots. With them, we will take many detours! Commander, this is a good deal!"
In order to promote the aircraft carrier, Shen Honglie jumped up and down in the headquarters. In order to promote his own momentum, he even brought the old marshal Sa Zhenbing to come.
Sa Zhenbing didn't say anything, just sat on the chair and watched everyone. But the old man had too high prestige! Who dared to say more?
From Lin Sen to Tu Mengben, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly. Shen Honglie tried his best to do his best to the aircraft carrier! Leng was pulling out the Buddha Sa Zhenbing to help. (To be continued...)
