Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Visit to Germany

All the equipment of the armored brigade was purchased from French products produced by the French company Renault due to the restrictions of various countries in the world, especially Germany, after World War I.However, for the production line of military factories specializing in the production of various equipment, German products, which have always been known for their rigor and good quality, have become Li Guosheng's first choice.

According to my own memory, combined with the latest European and American market economic surveys sent by foreign trade companies.Li Guosheng can be sure that with the rapid spread of the Wall Street economic crisis in October 1929, an economic crisis capable of affecting the entire world is rapidly unfolding.Since the end of the First World War, the German economy, which has developed entirely on the United States, has undoubtedly become the biggest and most serious indirect victim of this economic crisis.

Numerous businesses have closed down, a large number of workers have been laid off, and more and more outstanding German veterans who have retired from World War I have fallen into a difficult life due to losing their jobs...>

However, even so, Hitler, who was full of expectations for the future, had a hard time. [

The economic crisis unfolded rapidly, and the country's tax revenue also decreased accordingly.As a large number of workers continue to be laid off, the state's assistance funds for unemployment have continued to increase.In this way, one ebbs and another, not only the entire German "government" treasury revenue began to show a deficit, but the Nazi party under Hitler's command also fell into an economic crisis, and urgently needed a large amount of capital injection to help him overcome the immediate difficulties of life and death.

So neither is the beleaguered German "government".Or the German Hitler Nazi party in trouble...all gave Li Guosheng a contact with Germany and Hitler, the future head of state of Germany.Then, attract a large number of talents from Germany, introduce advanced equipment and production technology, and even establish an opportunity to establish a good relationship with the German "government" before the official start of World War II.

Come to think of it, a huge idea.It directly surfaced in Li Guosheng's mind.

Taking advantage of the temporary stability of the domestic situation, Ludong Special Zone is entering a favorable period of rapid development.With the hundreds of millions of dollars just earned, at a critical juncture.Send support to Hitler and create a good bond between the two countries.Of course, there is another very important purpose.Introduce talents, technology, and equipment from the German "government"...

Because it was a secret trip to Germany, Li Guosheng, Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Shaoqing, Navy Commander Sun Haijun...>

Almost half a year ago, a large-scale military equipment transaction was carried out with the German Krupp company. In addition, the Krupp military factory happened to be the most solid supporter of Hitler, the leader of the German Nazi Party.Li Guosheng wanted to meet Hitler's request, and soon received a reply from half of Hitler's approval.

On the surface, it was a meeting.Rather, it is an exchange of interests between countries.

Faced with the temptation of 5000 million US dollars in free aid, coupled with the increasingly severe economic situation in the country, a large number of unemployed workers who are likely to launch a coup at any time, and a large number of retired officers and soldiers after World War I.For Li Guosheng's series of demands, Hitler, who was eager to overcome the immediate difficulties, didn't even think about it.He gave an affirmative answer.

Faced with an increasingly severe economic crisis, Germany has devoted almost all its energy to the national economic recovery.Coupled with the agreement of the "Treaty of Versailles" after World War I.The German "government" after the war did not invest much money in the military until Hitler officially became the country's chancellor.

Therefore, the current development of various military technologies in Germany.Almost at a standstill.Of course, even if there are some developments, they all come from private funds and the support of major arms companies.

In this case: the German von who developed the turbojet engine for the first time in the world>

Two sets of complete industrial master machine production equipment, two sets of forging hydraulic presses of 500 tons and 2000 tons respectively, and [-] corresponding supporting engineers.Although it cost Li Guosheng a total of [-] million U.S. dollars in working capital, Li Guosheng, who got these equipment, was very happy from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he had made a fortune.

As long as you are a leader with a long-term vision, you are very aware of the fact that the industrial mother machine and large-scale forging hydraulic press are important to a country's industrial development, especially the heavy industry and military industry.

It can be said that there is an industrial mother machine, coupled with a mature steel forging enterprise.With the support of his strong technology, after returning to China, he can completely independently produce various weapons and equipment and civilian equipment production lines, completely getting rid of the road of importing.As for the large-scale forging hydraulic press, with it, I can independently produce and forge various large-scale machine tools, produce large-scale special steel plates, and even produce large-caliber artillery barrels...>

Therefore, use 5000 million U.S. dollars in free aid and 2000 million U.S. dollars in transaction funds in exchange for the future of China's industrial development.For Li Guosheng, no matter from which point of view, it is a very cost-effective deal.

Looking at the whole of Germany, apart from the high-end industrial equipment, Li Guosheng is most envious of two aspects: special steel forging technology, naval submarine production technology and the advanced command and tactical level of the submarine force...>

Now that I have personally come to the mainland of Germany, and have established a good relationship with Hitler, Germany's future aid.As for the technologies in these two aspects, of course Li Guosheng had to get his hands on them.

The complete set of equipment for the two special steel smelting and forging plants cost Li Guosheng another 2000 million US dollars... >

Ask the German shipyard to help China secretly build ten submarines, and send at least 1000 submarine and surface ship officers and soldiers to Qingdao, China, to help the Chinese "government" train the submarine officers and surface ship officers and soldiers. This transaction once again cost Li Guosheng almost [-] million dollars. [

but.Fortunately for Li Guosheng, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars in a row, Li Guosheng finally felt some of Hitler's 'sincerity'...>

"Army, is this Hitler crazy? He even offered to transfer [-] pilots, [-] armored soldiers, and [-] army officers. Go to our Ludong Special Zone and help us train our troops...>

"This Hitler is not only not stupid, but also very smart...>

After seeing the increasingly puzzled expression on Liu Shaoqing's face.Li Guosheng expressed his thoughts: "According to the "Treaty of Versailles" signed after the First World War, the current German "government" must not have an established air force, armored force, and naval force...>

"How can such a large country maintain the security of the entire country with only tens of thousands of light troops...>

"Unable to expand the army in the country. In order to ensure that one day in the future, when the army suddenly expands, there will be enough officers in hand, and at the same time to ensure that the command level of these officers will not decline due to peaceful times. The simplest and most The direct way is to send these excellent officers abroad as instructors. With the help of foreign combat and training, maintain the commanding ability and combat effectiveness of these excellent officers...>

"So. This Hitler, on the surface, seems to help us train our troops. In fact, it is also for herself, for these hundreds of outstanding officers, who can maintain and continuously improve their command level...>

"I see...>

Li Guosheng waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Commander Liu, although Hitler's ultimate goal is for himself. However, we can't help but see the huge impact these hundreds of instructors have brought to our Ninth Army after they returned to China. Benefits...>

"You have to be clear, look at the whole world, especially after the baptism of World War I. The strong combat effectiveness of the German Army has been recognized by all countries in the world. Let such a group of army officers help us train troops and improve their combat effectiveness. Why not No... In my heart, these instructors are still too few. When we leave, I will definitely ask Hitler for hundreds of excellent instructors...>

After the analysis, Li Guosheng turned his attention to Fu Guangyun, the director of the arsenal who was visiting with him, and ordered: "Director Fu, I am just a layman in terms of industry, especially military industry. In this meeting, I am in the industry. Some decisions made on the front side can only be regarded as big ones. As for some small aspects of looting, I still need you, an expert, to check for omissions and fill in the gaps..."

"Here is 500 million US dollars. I will give you a week to spend all the 500 million US dollars. Whether it is equipment, production technology, or talents... >

"Please rest assured, the military seat, to ensure that the task is completed... >

Seeing Fu Guangyun leaving quickly, he also traveled with him. Lieutenant Colonel Sun Haijun, the head of the Ninth Army Navy who was looking forward to this visit, stood in front of Li Guosheng hesitantly, and said... >

"Secretary, it's not fair...>

"It seems that Captain Sun has a lot of resentment in his heart... >

Now that the words have been spoken, Sun Haojun no longer has any worries. He nodded in direct agreement and said, "Secretary, let's take a look at our army first. Even if there is no armored brigade to be established. Only with the equipment of the troops and With the proportion of heavy artillery, it can be called a unique and powerful army in the whole country."

"After the armored brigade is formally established, I can guarantee that with only one armored brigade, we can easily sweep any field force in the country."

"Looking at the air force that our army has not yet established...>

"Finally, looking at our naval forces... It has gone through half a year of training and development. It still only has three new gunboats, and one gunboat is used for training... >

"Let's not talk about anything else. With the current strength of our navy, we can definitely rank last among the major local forces that have naval forces across the country...>

"When I received the request from the Military Seat to visit Germany with me, I faced the expectations of a group of brothers. I directly assured everyone that this visit will definitely let the Military Seat buy a few ships for our navy to help us. Support the destroyer on the table and go back, let everyone follow the prestige...>

"However, what I didn't expect was that the military seat only bought ten submarines that my brothers had never touched... >

Looking at Sun Haijun who was speaking righteously in front of him, the smile on Li Guosheng's face became wider, and he asked directly: "Colonel Sun, who told you that I only plan to equip the navy with ten submarines...>

"Besides, it's not that you don't know the situation of the German Navy. It's okay to let them secretly produce submarines. But if they are asked to produce surface ships, let alone a destroyer of more than 1000 tons, it will also cause trouble in European and American countries. Attention. Besides, after several years of stagnant development, do you think that Germany's surface ships can be compared with European and American countries?"

"Army, what do you mean...>

Li Guosheng seemed to know that Sun Haijun in front of him would definitely ask this question, shook his head with a smile, and asked unexpectedly: "Colonel Sun, don't be busy learning about my plan. Now, what I want to know is that I Did you complete the task successfully...>

Because of Li Guosheng's words, Sun Haijun, who was once again full of hope for the future, hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, military seat... >

"Okay, what I want is this result... >

"The leader of the team is called Qi Yong, who was originally from the Northeast Navy, and his current rank is a major...>

"Very good, you immediately give Major Qi Yong the general appointment of our Ninth Army's military headquarters... >

"In addition, I will tell Lieutenant Colonel Qi Yong that I will give him half a year. After half a year, he must bring all the equipment, officers and soldiers, and return to the country with combat effectiveness... >

"Submarine brigade... please rest assured, the military seat, after you leave the humble post, immediately convey your orders and requests to Qi Yong... >

"Okay Sun Haijun, since you want to know my plan so much, then I will tell you in advance... >

"Satisfied, very satisfied...>

"Well, I've heard a lot of your promises...>

"Yes, Seat...>
