Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1069 Completely 'blackened' blue eyes!
The big capitalists cultivated by capitalism have completely lost their resistance before the checks waving wildly by a certain group.

However, although Tang Dao's proposal to invest in building a factory is very attractive, as Tang Dao said, Krupp has no shortage of raw materials, and China's labor costs are ridiculously low. Once the output is produced, the profits can make anyone People are so envious that their eyes turn green, but the equipment, factory buildings, and the injection of funds mentioned by Tang Dao, and even the coordination of the relationship with the Japanese, cannot be completed in ten and a half months.

However, as long as the two sides have reached this consensus, it already means that the top person in charge of the Krupp Arms Manufacturing Far East Company has tied a rope with a small Chinese infantry commander.

The shares of Tang Dao will be held by a Chinese businessman surnamed Qian. All profit dividends do not require cash. Lou Dehua only needs to purchase precision machine tools from China and steel produced by steel factories to pay workers' wages.

Yes, Tang Dao almost frankly stated that the purpose of his investment in the steel factory was not only to need steel, but also to build a secret military factory with the help of this steel factory to manufacture various types of firearms in large quantities.

Fortunately, what made Lou Dehua quite relieved was that in order to make the steel plant operate for a longer period of time, the underground military factory covered by the steel plant would only produce all kinds of firearm accessories needed by Tang Dao, and then transport them to Tang Dao's location The military factory deep in the Taihang Mountains conducts assembly tests.

Moreover, the rifles and light machine guns manufactured are basically Czech-style, which are also widely used by the Chinese army. The heavy machine gun Tang Dao did not elaborate, but there will be design drawings at that time, and the mortar is 82 caliber Mortars and imitation French brand 60mm mortars are the main ones, which basically have little to do with the German system.

Lou Dehua heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little bit upset, what's wrong, the guns and artillery of our Germanic Empire can't see it?
"Your country's weapons and equipment are famous for their precision. Both power and accuracy are world-class. Only the technical requirements for manufacturing are too strict. Our army is not short of manpower and weapons. The only way to equip a large amount of equipment in a short period of time Weapons have a chance to win the war against Japan.

As for importing large quantities, the Japanese are not fools, and they also have a large number of intelligence personnel in Europe. As long as you check a little carefully, you will know where these weapons are flowing, and it will also be detrimental to you, my dear friend.

Therefore, the safest way is 'no guns, no cannons, let's build them ourselves! '" Tang Dao explained.

Of course, these are the general exchanges between the two, and the two will not talk about the details until Tang Dao arrives in Jincheng and mentions the huge sum of money.

Cash is the basis of mutual trust, and both of them are tacit about this point.

But basically the two are already deeply bound.

Tang Dao needs the help of this person to open up a transportation line with import and manufacturing capabilities for himself, so as to continue blood transfusion for the War of Resistance in North China; and Lou Dehua needs Tang Dao's funds to create enough performance for his business in the Far East. As mentioned, if the empire and the company undergo tremendous changes, he will regain the opportunity to control a business empire.

Therefore, when Tang Dao took out a pen and paper and made a list of additional weapons to be ordered, Lou Dehua agreed without hesitation.

Even if Shan Shanyuan saw the current list of armaments and equipment, he would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Austrian Bailu company imitates the Swedish Bofors 24-fold 150mm howitzer with 28 guns and 3 rounds of shells;

奥地利白露公司仿瑞典博福斯60倍径M36型40毫米高射炮50门，炮弹15万发，备用炮管100根；
克虏伯公司制造M434通用机枪150挺；钢芯弹150万发；备用枪管1000根；三脚架和两脚架各150副；
320 Mercedes-Benz TYP100WK off-road vehicles;”

"Dear friend, do you know that if the things you asked for by name were put on the battlefield, Commander Shan Shanyuan would tear off his hair in pain." Lou Dehua smiled and shook the Tang Dao in his hand just finished writing List Road.

This guy is obviously also a black-bellied guy. I'm afraid his shrewd mind is already calculating the profits of this huge order of millions of dollars!For this reason, he would rather pluck out the hair of all the generals of the Japanese North China Front Army Command.

This time it's not that God is incompetent, but that the little Japanese are too stingy, insisting on stubbornly using the junk weapons produced in their country, and dismissing the huge arsenal of the excellent Germanic Empire.

The current market price of a 150mm howitzer is 3.5 U.S. dollars, and the shells are 40 U.S. dollars a round. Tang Dao is a big deal. The shells alone cost 12 U.S. dollars, and the artillery costs 98 U.S. dollars, which is more than a million dollars. beautiful knife.

The 40mm anti-aircraft guns are not cheap. The price is 1.1 US dollars each, 10 US dollars for a shell, and 1700 Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicles worth 100 US dollars for spare barrels and loading. The total amount More than $250 million.

Of course, the above two Krupp companies have to purchase from another company, and the net profit will not exceed 30.00%, especially the 150 howitzers. I don’t know if they can be purchased. I really think that large-caliber guns are Chinese cabbage Woolen cloth!The spies of several great empires kept a close eye on the Germanic Empire.

But the MG34 general-purpose machine gun is different. It was finalized in 1934 and put into production in 1935. It is a product of Krupp's fully mature production line, but it only costs some steel materials, and it is almost pure profit.

The only regret is that the quantity purchased is a bit small, and the total value is only 20 US dollars.

"Dear Tang, do you want to add a 34 after the small amount of the MG0 machine gun? If your army can equip this machine gun in large quantities, I can guarantee that the egg yolks of the Japanese can be beaten out." Blinking The blue-eyed Lou Dehua simply interpreted the "greedy" traits of a businessman to the bone.

At this moment, he didn't care what the Japanese would doubt why a large number of German-made weapons flowed into the battlefield. As long as the company can make money and the empire can receive taxes, who cares what the Japanese think.

Even, because of the charming taste of money, he has already started to tempt Tang Dao with Japanese egg yolk.

Really, completely blackened blue eyes!
"Your company's MG34 machine gun is the best general-purpose machine gun in the world today," Tang Dao smiled slightly. "But it will soon be replaced by a newcomer."

Of course Tang Dao knew that in just three years, the MG42 known as the "Hitler Chainsaw" would be born, and because of its great power in actual combat, it would eventually completely replace the MG34 in the German Empire Army.

But why did he still spend a lot of money to purchase so many MG34? That is because MG42 is excellent, and the manufacturing cost is far cheaper than MG34, but its rate of fire is too exaggerated. The speed even has a record of 1200 rounds per minute.

This led to the need to replace a spare barrel for 500 rounds. The massive consumption of ammunition is not only a nightmare for the enemy, but also a nightmare for logistics support personnel.

Even the Germanic Empire Army whose logistics support has entered mechanized transportation, in order to protect the firepower of the MG42 light machine gun, each infantry soldier has to help the machine gunner carry 200 rounds of ammunition. Otherwise, it only needs MG42 to fire at full speed for 2 minutes. It has to be exhausted.

In contrast to this, the MG1000, which can fire at a rate of up to 34 rounds per minute, can choose between burst and continuous fire, and the ammunition consumption is much lower, which is more suitable for the reality on the Chinese battlefield at this time.

150 MG34s are enough to meet the needs of the three infantry battalions of the Four Elements Regiment. Besides, with steel, machine tools and design drawings, wouldn't the Four Elements Regiment build them by themselves?

Tang Dao tried his best to seduce the foreigner, but he definitely didn't take advantage of him, and the silver didn't come from the strong wind, it was the wealth of the people of Pingjin.

"It's impossible. At least in the past five years, there won't be a general-purpose machine gun better than the MG34." Lou Dehua refuted very unconvinced.

The corners of Tang Dao's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that the arrogance of the Germans was coming again. That incomparably excellent machine gun was born with difficulty in their arrogance, and finally made the same arrogant American cowboy almost cry on the battlefield. .

The MG34 is indeed excellent, and Lou Dehua has reasons to be proud of it, especially as the world's first general-purpose machine gun.

The so-called general-purpose machine gun is a light machine gun with a bipod, a heavy machine gun with a tripod, and an anti-aircraft machine gun mount, which is an anti-aircraft machine gun.

This is also a product of the pressure of the Germanic Empire.Because of the defeat in World War I, according to the Treaty of Versailles, the defeated Germanic Empire could not manufacture heavy machine guns, but the characteristics of the Germanic nation doomed them to never be willing to fail.

As soon as the war ended, various scientific researches were launched, but because they were the defeated country, if they violated the Treaty of Versailles, they would definitely be severely punished by the Western allies. Therefore, the shrewd Germans played a roundabout tactic.

The gun is still the same gun, but once the gun frame is changed, it can be switched from a light machine gun to a heavy machine gun.You must know that the gun not only has a very high rate of fire, but also has an effective range of 800 meters when equipped with a bipedal gun mount. If it is replaced with a special tripod for heavy machine guns, the effective range is as high as 1000 meters. It can be broken by life and death, completely reaching the peak of a single-barreled gun.

Perhaps, the only flaw that restricts the gun is its complex structure, which requires a lot of man-hours and materials. Each gun needs to use 49 kg of steel to drill and other methods to create a MG12 weighing 34 kg. , It is difficult to provide products to the front line on a large scale.

But all of this changed with the birth of a metal stamping engineer. The metal stamping process will completely replace the outdated process of drilling. The MG42 general-purpose machine gun also entered the stage of history a year after the war began. Until decades later, this old World War II gun is still active in various battlefields.

"There is a saying in China that talented people emerge from generation to generation! The same is true for weapons and equipment. Mr. Lou Dehua, what you said is a bit absolute." Tang Dao laughed. "By the way, I'm asking you about a person. I don't know if you have heard his name."

"Who?" Lou Dehua was taken aback.

"Dr. Grunov! An expert in metal stamping technology in your country. I had the honor to meet him once when I was studying in your country. I have always admired his character and knowledge." Tang Dao said.

What Tang Dao said is of course nonsense, but in the first ten years before the war started, because China and the Germanic Empire cooperated a lot, whether it was business cooperation or studying abroad for scientific research, there were not a few Chinese who went to the Germanic Empire. Tang Dao did It's not uncommon to be one of them.

What's more, he believes that Lou Dehua doesn't need to check his resume specifically for this purpose, even if he has checked, who doesn't have his own secret?

"No wonder Colonel Tang Dao is so familiar with the situation in our country. It turns out that you have studied in our country. You see, I yearn for your oriental culture, but you go to learn our knowledge. In a sense, we belong to this country. It's complementary, no wonder you and I hit it off." Hearing what Tang Dao said, Lou Dehua's blue eyes shone even more, and he felt a little closer to Tang Dao.

However, this was not the answer Tang Dao wanted.

Tang Dao just wants to know if he recognizes the genius who has not yet entered the field of vision of the major German arms manufacturing companies. If his memory is correct, Tang Dao remembers that the big doctor who proposed to use metal stamping technology to make firearms is still frustrated at the moment Status, almost no one recognized his philosophy.

Otherwise, MG42 may have come out before the war.

Of course, the unattractive MG42 was still on the test field, and the spies of the allied countries sent photos back to the country, and then they were laughed and called "broken copper and iron" by the ordnance experts of the allied countries, until the terrifying sound of tearing cloth sounded on the battlefield, With an average rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute, when there were almost no allied soldiers on the battlefield who dared to charge forward, the bricks were as stupid as if they were bored.

Seeing that Tang Dao didn't respond as enthusiastically as himself, Lou Dehua realized that he hadn't answered Tang Dao's question just now, took the cigar from his mouth, and muttered to himself: "Metal stamping, doctor, Greg Runov."

Tang Dao was a little disappointed, but Lou Dehua frowned suddenly: "I remembered, there is such a guy. However, this guy is not as talented as your friend said, and a good metal material expert will not do it. In his old profession, he actually applied for some firearm design, and even boasted that he would design a general-purpose machine gun that is better than the MG34."

"what do you mean?"

"This guy is an employee of my Krupp company! He is still an expert, but he was assigned to the Far East branch by the head office because he was not doing his job properly. He was half a year earlier than me. He should be working in the iron mine at HD at this moment." Senior engineer! To use those old stubborn words, polish his arrogance and transfer him back to the country, haha, it’s really unlucky.” Talking about the unlucky guy who was sent to the Far East like himself, Lou Dehua recalled all this inexplicably I'm a little happy.

"You mean, Dr. Grunov is in China?" Tang Dao almost jumped up.

Of course he knows the principle of the MG42 machine gun, and he can even draw a rough design. With the help of Mr. Xiao He's geniuses, he can basically tinker with 42% of the functions of the MG[-]. However, he lacks metal stamping technology and equipment, so he cannot mass-produce it. , Just get a few guns out and have a ball?

The appearance of Grunov may completely change all this.

Moreover, if he is willing to provide funds and equipment for this research and development and is the first to come up with the initial design drawing, he can write his name on the patent of this weapon.

Of course, Tang Dao does not want to use this weapon to leave its name in the sky of history, but the patent can be charged.

In the future, every time Krupp manufactures an MG42, it must pay him a patent license fee, which can completely become a little hen that lays golden eggs.

"Yes! If you want to see him, I can send him a telegram asking him to wait for you in Jincheng." Seeing Tang Dao's happy face, Lou Dehua said indifferently.

After all, in ancient Chinese culture, there are descriptions of the four proud moments in life of "the rain meets the rain after a long drought, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold list", and meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land is even above marriage.

It can only be said that Lou Dehua's research on Chinese culture is not deep enough, this is definitely a 'toxic' culture.

History has proved it. Originally, the nomads lived well on the grasslands, but as soon as they entered the Central Plains, the...
It only took 90 years for the Mongolian iron cavalry who swept across the Eurasian continent to be invincible, but they were almost exterminated by Zhu Chongba;The whole family was driven back to their hometown in Baishui, Heishan, not to mention, it took hundreds of years to recover.

Now, the tragic blue-eyed capitalist even took the initiative to help Tang Dao find a reason for "meeting an old friend in a foreign country". The company earns millions of dollars in patent licensing fees, and it will definitely pull out the dagger in its waist
Wipe your own neck!
The iron and steel factories that took great risks to open didn't make so much money!

"No, I will arrive at HD with my people first, and then go to Jincheng. How to get there is up to you, my old friend." Tang Dao was firm.

"Okay! Leave this to me." Lu Dehua frowned slightly, but still agreed.

There is nothing wrong with Tang Dao's words. The Krupp company, which has an inspection-free pass, has to ensure that the big benefactor arrives in Jincheng safely. This can be regarded as the treatment of a VIP gold card customer!
After talking about the business, the next two people basically went on a tour. In the middle, Tang Dao shot and killed an extremely rare gazelle 400 meters away with a rifle, and Lou Dehua saw a Tang Tuan. Seat's marksmanship.

There was a roast sheep on the spot!
But Lou Dehua didn't have much mutton in his belly. Although the two of them traveled with strict security, and the accompanying guards were more than 400 meters away, Tang Dao also had an order not to disturb the people in the mountains.

A little boy who was herding sheep on the hillside approached the two without knowing it. Looking at the golden roasted lamb, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Provoking Mr. Lou Dehua to sigh, he gave the little boy half a leg of lamb with a wave of his big hand, and asked the little boy to call his little friend to enjoy it in proper Chinese.

As a result, the ecstatic little boy unceremoniously called NO.20 people, the oldest of whom was over 60 years old.

Good guy, the whole village is full of buddies!

Lou Dehua looked at the Chinese mountain people in ragged clothes, not to mention that he didn't eat a few bites of mutton, and even donated 20 yuan to go abroad.

Of course, it was given by Tang Tuanzuo.

'This is war, and the people who suffer the most are always ordinary people! Tang Dao didn't find it funny when the arms dealer who had sold an unknown number of murder weapons said this sentence.

On the contrary, Tang Dao suddenly liked this German, not only because he might bring the dream-killing weapons to Chinese soldiers.
