Fengxian Jiangshan

The Messerschmitt prototype failed to be developed, and the military order could not be obtained, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.Giving up one's beloved career is a huge blow to any genius.When he heard that there was still a way to survive, he immediately became very excited, and walked in front of Zhang Zuoxiang and the others in three or two steps.

"These... two..."

Randall said with a smile: "They are distinguished guests from China, and they are interested in acquiring your company."

"Don't be busy!" Zhang Xueliang waved his hand: "You are Mr. Messerschmidt. I want to see your work first, and then discuss cooperation."

Zhang Xueliang also knows the air force quite well, and he still has some doubts about this guy in front of him.When Messerschmidt heard this, he was also a little unhappy. He is also a celebrity in the German aviation field. What conditions?"

Zhang Xueliang smiled slightly: "China now mainly has two major aircraft design centers, Fengtian and Wuhan, and Mr. Bayuzao and Mr. Wang Zhu in charge can get about 800 million scientific research funds every year. The military purchases about 500 aircraft every year. In addition, there are With more than 3000 civilian orders, what do you think is the market size?"

Hearing these figures, not only Messerschmidt, but even Randall took a deep breath. The aircraft purchased by the Chinese military in one year has exceeded the sum of all the aircraft of the German military. It is simply unreasonable!

After listening to the translator, Zhang Zuoxiang also said in a rare way: "Mr. Messerschmidt, China has a vast aviation market and also needs all kinds of talents. As long as you have the ability, I can make the decision to build an aviation company in Chengdu." Design Bureau. All conditions will be far beyond the present.”

For a real genius, a stage to display their talents is far more exciting than how much income they earn, so Messerschmidt immediately put aside all unhappiness.Hurriedly using the fastest speed, he took out his design drawings, handed them over to Zhang Xueliang, and took them to the workshop to see the two prototypes.

Zhang Xueliang is an expert in flying airplanes. When he saw Messerschmidt's design, he was shocked.Measure aircraft performance.One of the easiest ways is to look at whether the aircraft is beautiful or not. The more comfortable the aircraft is, the more aerodynamic it is and the stronger its combat effectiveness will be.

The aircraft designed by Messerschmitt makes people feel very atmospheric at first glance.In particular, quite a lot of new designs have been adopted, such as retractable landing gear, openable canopy, automatic flaps, lower monoplane and so on.

Just judge by intuition.This aircraft has quite outstanding performance.Zhang Xueliang watched for a while.I couldn't help asking: "Mr. Messerschmidt, your plane is quite good, but I would like to take the liberty to ask, why did it fail during the test flight, and what went wrong?"

Messerschmidt was also a little embarrassed, but he had to answer: "It was during landing. The landing gear broke."

Zhang Xueliang nodded: "It's similar to what I thought. Chief Instructor Wang Zhu also designed this structure, and there were also problems because the landing gear was too small and too narrow."

"What?" Messerschmidt was taken aback.Hastily asked: "My design is original, how can China have it?"

Zhang Xueliang suddenly laughed: "Mr. Messerschmidt, you underestimate China's aviation industry. How many times our fighters have fought in air battles and have such a wealth of experience. Some things will come naturally when we accumulate more data. .To be honest, you have a genius design, but it still lacks the integration with the battlefield. I believe that after you move the factory to China, you will get more things.”

"Okay, anyway, I'm also bankrupt now, and I just happen to go to China." Messerschmidt also has a competitive heart, and if he wants to go to China to see something, maybe he will have better luck.

At this time Randall also said: "Willie, I think it is a good choice for you to go to China now, but I want to remind you, as a German, once our army is regrouped, I hope you can return to Germany to serve .”

"No problem, I can definitely do it, maybe I will come back with a better design then!"

During the discussion, Zhang Xueliang contributed 20 US dollars to help Messerschmidt move. As for other funds, they will be negotiated after arriving in China.Just when Messerschmidt was moving, another well-known figure in the aviation field, Kurt Tank, also found him.

He was also a top designer in Germany during World War II. He developed the FW190 fighter jet equipped with an air-cooled engine, and became the master of German air combat in the later period.At the same time, he also developed an early jet fighter, and he can definitely be called a master in the aviation field!

However, Kurt Tank had just lost his job at this time. When he heard that China was recruiting talents, he recommended himself and found him. After some conversations, Zhang Xueliang found that this guy's level was not below Messerschmidt's.If they go to China, the two of them will definitely be able to pull up two design bureaus.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang was not polite, and promised the best conditions, and then all abducted.After getting the two big names in the aviation field, they turned their attention to Farben.

This company is the largest concern in the chemical industry in Germany!IG Farben has three main companies, namely Akfa, BASF and Bayer.Take out any one at random, and they are all the top companies in the world.

Chemical dyes are the leading products of Farben. Before World War I, more than [-]% of the world's chemical dyes were produced by Farben. They were also the first to break through the synthetic ammonia technology and the coal-to-oil technology.

During World War II, Farben produced a large amount of synthetic fuel and synthetic rubber, enabling Germany to break through the resource bottleneck.In addition, 100% of the methanol and lubricating oil, 80% of the explosives, 70% of the black powder and 35% of the sulfuric acid used by the German army also come from Farben. In addition, considerable achievements have been made in the research of poisonous gas.The Allies even said that if the United States had Farben, there would be no Hitler's war.

For such a powerful company, it was naturally included in the scope of China's cooperation early on. It is unrealistic to buy it completely, so the Chinese side decided to invest in cooperation with IG Farben and let them build a joint venture factory in China.

Being able to open up the Chinese market and obtain the support of Chinese raw materials is also a good way for Farben to get out of the predicament.As a military giant, Germany's military was strictly restricted, and Farben's revenue in 29 years was less than 4000 million marks.Compared with DuPont in the United States at the same time, it is dozens of times worse.

Therefore, China's millions of troops and huge demand are fatally attractive to Farben.Of course, this is also of great benefit to China. Farben has chemical dye technology, which is what China's rapidly developing textile industry urgently needs.

They have a lot of core patents in the fields of explosives, poisonous gas, coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry, medicine, materials, etc., all of which are urgently needed by China, so the two sides negotiated very harmoniously. Ten thousand US dollars, occupying 3000% of the company's shares.Then Farben set up a subsidiary in Shanghai to open up the Chinese market.

China has adopted a completely different attitude towards virtue, and the United States still has spare power, and those big companies can't swallow it at all, so they can only poach corners.In Germany and China, they directly attack large companies. On the one hand, the Germans are indeed very difficult. On the other hand, China and Germany have cooperated for ten years, and both sides have a tacit understanding.

The high-level German government also knows that putting factories in China and being able to move them back if Germany needs them is of great significance to the preservation of Germany's military industry, so they all adopted a tacit attitude.After all, it is better for talents to come to China than to go to the United States or even go to Russia.

It was this acquiescence that made Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Xueliang quicken their pace of action. After taking down Farben, they negotiated a cooperation agreement with the two major military giants Rheinmetall and Krupp, introduced artillery technology, and Krupp Armor technology, in return, China provided tank technology.

The German army of this era has noticed the importance of tanks, but due to the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles, the German armored soldiers had to be like children, carrying cardboard shells as tanks for training.Relying on this kind of joking method, the most powerful steel army in the world has been sharpened, which shows the rigor and horror of Germany.

China has mature experience in tanks and can fully share technology with Germany.In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang cooperated with Mercedes-Benz to purchase 800 Mercedes-Benz trucks, 400 of which will be assembled in China. In other words, the production line will be moved to China. The Germans also generously agreed. After all, this It can solve the employment problem of hundreds of people, and there are huge profits.

During this time in Germany, it can be said that things went smoothly, and almost everything China wanted was obtained. Zhang Zuoxiang was also very excited, so he sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan, showing off proudly.

However, he was proud of himself, and Zhang Zuoxiang did not dare to slack off at all. He had already given away more than 3 million yuan, and there was still more than half of the funds that had not been spent, so he rushed to Munich without stopping.

This is the headquarters of Siemens AG. What Zhang Zuoxiang is going to talk about this time is to cooperate with Siemens AG to develop oil.Now China has three important oil-producing areas, one is Central Asia, the other is Borneo, and the other is Iran, all of which are rich in oil resources, and Germany happens to be a country that lacks resources.

But just after Zhang Zuoxiang arrived in Munich, he suddenly received a business card, which was sent by Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party, and he hoped to meet Zhang Zuoxiang.

"Uncle, the Nazi Party is a newly rising force in Germany, but their views are too extreme, and I don't think much of them."

"No." Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand: "Hanqing, when Zhuoyan came here, I made a special statement. This Hitler is a very important person. You must be aware of Zhuoyan's vision. Let's go and pay a visit. Maybe this guy will It will be of great help!" (To be continued...)
