Randall was born in a noble family of Junkers in Germany. Just like other nobles, he is also the darling of the German army. In the past World War I, Randall had been working as the chief of staff of Germany and personally Including the Battle of Verdun, including the formulation of a number of major combat plans, but he is the most important rising star in the German army.

But God made a joke with him. Just when he had accumulated enough capital and was about to climb up and show off his talents, Germany missed the victory and became the loser of World War I.After the Allies defeated Germany, they adopted unprecedentedly severe sanctions. Almost all of Germany's huge army was disbanded. Only [-] Wehrmacht were allowed to remain, and the navy and air force were strictly restricted.

The dignity of the former largest land power on the European continent was completely crushed. Not only Britain and France, but even Poland, which had just gained independence, was able to bully Germany and seize a large amount of territory belonging to Germany.All the humiliation fell on the Germans, especially the German soldiers, who suffered unprecedented humiliation.

Faced with this situation, Randall once thought of "suicide", but he met Seckert. Although the old general was equally sad and angry, he did not give up hope, but firmly believed that Germany would stand up one day.

"Our current mission is to preserve the minimum army and the foundation of the military industry for a strong Germany. When Germany needs it, we can quickly organize a powerful army and wash away the shame on us!"

"Your Excellency, do you think we still have a chance?"

"Of course! I firmly believe in this point. In fact, we should learn enough lessons from the war that has just passed. Trench warfare has no way out. We must explore new forms of warfare. As long as we can find them, victory will definitely belong to Germany." Seckert said firmly.

He smiled at Randall and said: "The Allied Powers want to restrict by treaty. It is simply impossible for us to completely lose the army. I just reached a cooperation agreement with the Chinese, and Germany will provide them with a batch of military technology and industry Equipment, and then they provide us with mining products and open the market. This is a win-win cooperation. We can use the cooperation with China to maintain our industrial base and verify new technologies on the land of the Far East. This is very good choose."

China?After Randall heard it, he was still a little puzzled.Hastily asked: "Your Excellency, China is a very backward place. Are they qualified to cooperate with Germany? In my opinion, maybe the red Russia is much better than China. At least they have stepped into the modern society." , as for the Chinese. They can only stay in the Middle Ages.”[

Seckert shook his head: "Things are constantly changing, according to what I know. The Chinese are already able to produce almost all weapons. And they are very far away from us. There is no conflict of interest, but Russia is in our Side. If China can be a partner, it must be much safer than Russia, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand, but I still don't believe that the Chinese have a sufficient industrial base."

Seckert smiled and said, "Since you question them, you should go to the Far East yourself. Take a good look and submit an accurate report to me to see if China is a qualified partner."

Although Randall was a little embarrassed, he faced this task.There was no way to refuse. He could only take a delegation of more than 20 people across the ocean and came to China.They first arrived in Shanghai, which is the largest portal in China, full of feasting and feasting, and merchants from all over the world. The prosperity is relatively high, and there is a taste of luxury and gold everywhere.

However, Randall didn't have much feeling for this demon city. A city without industrial support is just a piece of fat, no matter how beautiful it looks, it will be vulnerable.

What they saw in Shanghai made Randall even more disappointed about his trip to China. They took the train and went all the way north to Beijing, the heart of China, where there was still chaos.Randall was completely disappointed, he only regarded this inspection as a trip.

The rumbling train carried them through Shanhaiguan and headed for their destination, Fengtian.After arriving outside the pass, Randall finally felt something unusual.Along the railway line, I could finally see some huge chimneys, billowing black smoke from them. It was obvious that the three eastern provinces already had considerable heavy industrial enterprises, which made Randall finally refreshed.

Along the way, there are flat fields everywhere, dense and neat villages, and factories can be seen in almost every town along the way, which shows that Fengjun's industrial base has already reached a considerable scale.And what surprised them the most was that the people in the three eastern provinces were not humble and cowardly at all. On the contrary, they were all high-spirited, and they could see something called hope in their eyes, which made Randall particularly impressed.

His views have finally changed. China is a huge country with too many differences among regions, and the three northeastern provinces can best represent the future of this country.

The German delegation arrived in Fengtian as scheduled, and Zhang Tinglan took Gu Weijun and Xia Han to welcome Randall in person.After seeing them, Randall was amazed again. These three people are all in their 30s and [-]s. Youth means vitality, which is what this ancient country needs most.

Randall also left a deep impression on Zhang Tinglan. This is a shrewd and capable guy, and the corners of his eyes will unconsciously lift up when he speaks. Obviously he should be a very arrogant and conceited guy.Without something attractive enough, I am afraid it will be difficult to impress him.

After they were seated, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "On behalf of the Fengtian [government], I welcome your arrival. I believe this will be the beginning of cooperation between China and Germany. The two countries have similar economic structures. Huge complementarity, which is the basis of our cooperation."

Randall also said: "I agree with this point of view very much, but I still want to know if you have any specific ideas for cooperation. Do you need Germany to provide technology for the production of guns, or some talents?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled and waved his hands: "This kind of cooperation is too rudimentary and not suitable for us at all, and I can say frankly that the production problem of guns has been solved long ago. 』Suoyan is more in line with the needs of the Chinese. We have already started production of aircraft and tanks.”

Although Randall has already highly estimated Fengjun, he did not expect that the actual situation is even more astonishing. Aircraft and tanks are quite complicated things. If they can be produced, it means that Fengjun has a considerable industrial system. It was astonishing. [

"Mr. Patrol Envoy, what would your ideal cooperation look like?"

"Of course it is all-round cooperation, not just limited to the military industry. It includes all aspects, first of all, commodity trade, we purchase machinery and equipment from Germany, and at the same time provide food and ore to Germany; secondly, economic exchanges, we can open markets to each other. Allowing Germany to invest directly in China and set up factories can enjoy preferential policies; the third is talent exchange. I plan to send a large number of international students to Germany to receive higher education in Germany.”

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's idea, Randall gave a thumbs up in his heart. This young commander was not limited to specific content, and his vision was extremely broad. Obviously, the other party's plans were also very far-reaching.

"It seems that this plan is more beneficial to China, and it is very limited in helping Germany."

"Mr. Randall. This is a win-win cooperation. In fact, it will benefit Germany even more." Gu Weijun said with a smile: "At present, the three eastern provinces can export more than 500 million tons of grain every year. It can be exported to Germany. It can solve the food shortage problem in Germany. And these grains do not need to be settled in gold, we can barter and directly replace them with machinery and equipment, which is a very cost-effective business for Germany.”

After hearing the words barter, Randall's eyes lit up immediately. This proposal really moved him. The biggest difficulty for Germany after the war was the large amount of reparations after the war, which caused serious currency depreciation, and Mark became waste paper. the trend of.The depreciation of the currency has also increased the cost of imports. Even if there is food, Germany cannot afford it.

However, if you barter directly, you can cross the currency barrier, which is definitely a boon for Germany.Historically, after Hitler came to power, the German economy was able to take off rapidly. To a large extent, Germany adopted labor vouchers, bypassing the currency barrier and directly bartering.

The Nanjing "government" also had a trade agreement with Germany, and they pledged all of China's mineral resources in exchange for the equipment of [-] German mechanists. From a trade point of view, China is simply at a loss.Of course, Zhang Tinglan would not make such a low-level mistake. What he exchanged was not equipment, but equipment and technology, and held the key to producing weapons in his own hands.

Randall was completely interested, and asked with a smile: "This is just the first item, so what is the name of the second item? At present, German companies are short of funds, and it may be very difficult to invest in China!"

Gu Weijun said with a smile: "Investment does not necessarily require direct investment. Germany can invest in technology or equipment. Our cooperation method is absolutely very flexible, and we will truly consider Germany's difficulties."

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Randall, then glanced at the other members of the German delegation, and found that these people were thoughtful, obviously they were all tempted.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "As for the third talent exchange, it contains many levels of content. We send overseas students to Germany, and Germany can also export skilled workers to us. The "Versailles Peace Treaty" has strict restrictions on your country. Many military No technology can be experimentally researched. These can actually be moved to China. We have a vast land and can provide a large number of secret research sites. As long as the exchange conditions are suitable, no one will control what you do. And Fengjun is currently preparing to cooperate with When the Russians go to war, you can send a corps of officers to evaluate the effects of new weapons, study the effects of new tactics, and even obtain top-secret statistics of the Feng army."

Zhang Tinglan's last words completely moved Randall. After the German military affairs were restricted, the most worrying thing was to be derailed from the world. If the Fengjun could provide a verification site, the Germans would be free to learn the most advanced technology. Strategy and tactics, then Germany can keep up with the world military trend and find its future direction.

Originally, the Germans still had a condescending attitude, thinking that cooperation with the Fengjun was a kind of charity from the advanced to the backward, but from the current point of view, what the Fengjun can give to Germany is far beyond imagination. Heart pounding.

"Mr. Patrol Envoy, we have felt your sincerity for cooperation. I personally think there is no problem with the cooperation between China and Germany. In order to express our gratitude, we will first provide Fengjun with a batch of technologies, including the production line of large tractors. , diesel engine technology, and submarine blueprints."

During the two world wars, Germany's most frightening weapon was the famous U-shaped submarine. The British Empire was almost trapped to death by the Germans.Now that Fengjun can also obtain U-shaped submarine technology, the good days of the opposite island country are finally coming.

Zhang Tinglan stood up in high spirits, and said to Randall: "Let's have a toast for the success of our cooperation!" (To be continued...)
