Chapter 129 The British Foreign Secretary is here
Can the Soviet Union agree? Even Cialek is not clear.
On the surface, the Soviet Union took a big advantage. You should know that building an aircraft carrier almost required a plan to exhaust the Soviet Union's national strength. Just look at the Soviet man-made battleships.
And now? The Soviet Union only needs to transport minerals! The Soviet Union had a large amount of minerals, aluminum, tungsten, manganese, etc., and there were many rare elements! To build an aircraft carrier, the amount of minerals needed was huge and it had to be transported by railways. The Soviet Union had to be transformed!
Moreover, except Germany, no other country is willing to do this! Only export minerals can be exchanged for aircraft carriers? What a joke! Ask the UK, France, and the United States, will it be willing?
Even Italy does not have this ability, only Germany!
It can be said that if the Soviets wanted to get an aircraft carrier, they had to rely on Germany and had no other branches!
If the Soviet Union wanted nothing to pay and rely on outputting ore only to want an aircraft carrier? What a joke!
The Soviet Union had to change the railway, not the railway, so this was free!
Let the Soviets worry and see if they want national defense or railways!
In fact, this project, whether it is achieved or not, will not harm Germany. Once it is achieved, Germany will not deliver the aircraft carrier to the Soviet Union! Just kidding! The warships built in the past were almost the same as those built for the Soviet Union. The aircraft carriers are strategically level and will be delayed in the future and finally left to the German navy!
If the negotiation is not completed, Germany will not suffer much. Anyway, the shipyard is no longer busy now.
Tukhachevsky frowned and didn't say anything. Of course he knew what it meant to unify the railway! This is a condition proposed by the Germans. If this condition does not agree, the others will be exempted from being discussed!
Can the Soviet Union agree? Of course not! So Tukhachevsky said carefully: "We may not have any extra funds to transform the railway now. Moreover, if this railway is transformed, then the trains on our other railway network will not be able to run on this line, which will be inconvenient for us."
"This is simple," said Cialek. "Since that's the case, we might as well build a dedicated ore transportation line, connecting it from the Ural Mountains to the border and connecting it with Europe. Isn't that convenient? Specializes in transporting ore."
Build a special line!
In later generations, in order to transport China's coal, China specially built a Daqin Railway from Datong to Qinhuangdao. There was only one task, which was to transport coal!
The coal from Datong was continuously transported out and loaded on ships. Some were transported to thermal power plants in the south, and some were crossing the ocean and reaching island countries.
Then, the island country directly unloaded the coal into the seawater, rich and willful.
And now, didn’t the Soviet Union think this or that? Just build a special line!
Now, Germany needs to make strategic reserves, the more ore, the better! If it can reserve enough for more than ten years of war, Germany will not have to worry about resource issues!
"As for the investment in this line, you should pay for it, but you can also consider using ore to convert it and leave it to us to solve it." Cialek said.
In this era, it is not difficult to build a railway. In later generations, what is the big end of building a railway? It is the compensation for demolition! A group like the second generation of demolition was also specially created.
And in this era, there was not so much nonsense, especially the Soviet Union, who said they wanted to acquire land, so they could be recruited immediately!
So, the only money left to build railways. If the Soviet Union had no, it would still use ore to pay for it!
Tukhachevsky didn't say anything because he no longer needed to say anything! No reason would be a reason!
Just as the scene was about to be in a cold situation, Graf walked in and said a few words to Cialick's ear. So Cialick could only say to the Soviet guests with an apology: "I'm really sorry, something happened in Berlin. I need to go back. The rest of the trip will be accompanied by our other personnel."
In this way, Cyric stood up and walked out, leaving behind a helpless Soviet man.
The Germans’ conditions, should they agree or not?
Cialek is not fighting psychological warfare. For the Russians, if they really fight psychological warfare, there is only one way to drink!
The Russians would like to drink. If they drink these guys in the bar, they would have to change the railway and ask them to paint the Kremlin with pink and cute paint and dress up Stalin as a white-bearded Santa Claus, they would also agree!
Cialek really prepared a game, and specially found a few guys who could drink, planning to accompany these people from the Soviet Union. After all, Cialek was warmly welcomed when he went to the Soviet Union, and now Cialek also needs to be enthusiastic.
But now, Cialek cannot leave, because there is something really wrong with Berlin.
British Foreign Secretary Samuel Hall, with a large number of senior British naval officials, came to Berlin!
When he heard this name, Cialek knew that what was coming was finally here, and this person was the best object! What was his evaluation in history? A famous appeaser in the Chamberlain Cabinet!
This guy's main contribution was that when he was the Minister of India, he took on the important task of formulating and maintaining the Indian Constitution during parliamentary debates, and made the government pass the Indian bill, thus making it famous.
And now, I have just taken over this position and come to Germany.
In history, he did not stay for long. At the end of this year, after the outbreak of the Ethiopian War against Italy, he and French Prime Minister Pierre Laivar conspired to ced two-thirds of Ethiopia's territory in exchange for Italy's cooperation. The Holrayvar Agreement was disclosed and resigned due to public condemnation.
However, he did not stay long before he continued to serve as Minister of the Navy, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Seal, Minister of the Air Force, fully supported the appeasement policy and the Munich Agreement, and was a core member of Neville Chamberlain's cabinet.
This guy is much more important than Tukhachevsky now! So, Cirick had to come back quickly, and a big thing is about to happen!
In later generations, Chamberlain's appeasement policy was a policy that everyone called for. How could this guy be so backboneless?
However, in this era, we can know that appeasement policy has its own soil for breeding!
World War I was a heavy world war, and even the winners were a miserable victory. In the world War I, a generation of British youth lost! Therefore, many people who came from World War I did not want to start a war again.
Peace is precious. If problems can be resolved through negotiation, don’t resort to war. This is their thinking.
Cialek likes this idea very much!
