Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 517: 1940—The Harvest Year

While negotiating with the United States, Chen Feng also sent people to actively communicate with Germany. Relatively speaking, the negotiations with Germany went smoothly. Germany is now eager to obtain a large amount of penicillin drugs, so as to get rid of the Soviet Union, especially the Siberian main artery. reliance, or to launch a war against the Soviet Union as soon as possible.

Because of this, the Germans attached great importance to this negotiation. When Hitler learned that the Chen family was willing to sell penicillin drugs to Germany, it was a joy.Therefore, a delegation headed by Air Force Commander-in-Chief Goering and assisted by Delixi secretly arrived in Guisui to make every effort to facilitate the matter.

Chen Feng extended a warm welcome to the arrival of the German delegation. At the same time, he handed over the matters in his hands to Li Wensheng, Yang Yi and others to handle them with full authority, while he himself negotiated with Goering and others.

The Germans have three requests. The first request is that the Chen family can provide Germany with penicillin drugs worth 100 billion U.S. dollars within three months; the second request is that the Chen family can sell the penicillin production technology and equipment To Germany; the third request is that the Chen family can provide Germany with drawings of new tanks and new fighters, and authorize Germany to produce such new tanks and fighters.

As for Germany's first condition, Chen Feng readily agreed. Although penicillin is a very important war resource, at least so far, except for the northern province of Serbia, no country has explicitly stipulated that penicillin is prohibited from exporting. strategic resources.

Moreover, Chen Feng also knew what the Germans planned to do next after they got the penicillin, so there was no need to think about it.Mustache Hitler's next target must be the bearded Stalin and the Soviet Union behind Stalin.Even though Germany fought the Soviet Union, it was aggression and an unjust war.

But to Chen Feng, whether the war is a battle or not doesn't mean anything to him.He only knew that the Soviet Union was a potential threat to Sebei Province and the Chen family.But Germany did not have any conflicts with them. On the contrary, they had a good relationship with each other. This can be seen from the fact that Hitler gave him the most precious artwork in Europe, the Mona Lisa, as a gift this time.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Germany's attack on the Soviet Union is a good thing for the Chen family and China as a whole.If at the most critical moment of the Soviet-German War, Chen Feng's subordinates had come out to beat the Soviet Union hard, or come forward to beat the Soviets, I'm afraid his mission would have been completed.So this $100 billion penicillin drug has to be provided for Mustache.

For the second request, Chen Feng thought about it and agreed.Although the production equipment for penicillin drugs is important, that's the reason. Even if he doesn't sell it to Germany, it won't take long for the Germans to get it from other sources.Not to mention the lost opportunity to collect money for no reason.More importantly, he missed a favor in selling Germany.

This is a person with a higher status.The more unwilling you are to owe favors to others, because every time you owe a favor, the price you pay when you pay it back is extremely high.The same is true between countries.Sometimes he even got involved in a war in order to repay a favor. Chen Feng believed that once the Germans owed him a favor from Mr. Chen, the Germans would definitely help him in the future.

The third request, Chen Feng, is very tangled. Germany is already very powerful, the mighty France was wiped out in just one month, and the rampant British Empire almost razed it to the ground. Even the huge Soviet Union was in front of him. It is also trembling.If the Germans get new tanks and fighter jets, I am afraid that Germany's strength will further expand, and even the combination of Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union will not be able to contain Germany.

It is a good thing that a potential ally is strong, but it is not necessarily a good thing if the other party is too strong. You may become his prey one day.Such things have happened in Chinese history. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Great Liao Kingdom established by the Khitan people was the biggest opponent of the Song Dynasty. The two sides fought endlessly because of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

However, due to the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty, the national power declined rapidly after the middle period, and finally had to form a "brotherly alliance" with the Liao Kingdom. The Khitan was the elder brother, and the Song Dynasty was the younger brother. , called the old coins.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, a force rose rapidly in the territory of the Liao Kingdom. This was a minority led by the Jurchen leader Wanyan Aguda, and they formed the Dajin Kingdom.Initially, the relationship between Song, Liao and Jin was that Song and Liao confronted each other, and Jin and Liao continued to fight each other. Therefore, the Song Dynasty decided to unite with Dajin to destroy Liao.

Everyone knows the final result. The Liao Kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years, and its interior was already rotten. It could not withstand the pincer attacks of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. In the end, it was wiped out. Liao and Song Dynasty also obtained the land of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun as they wished.

But after destroying the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty did not enjoy real peace.After the Jin Kingdom gained a firm foothold, it quickly turned against the Northern Song Dynasty, and a larger-scale war broke out between the two sides. In the end, the Northern Song Dynasty was not destroyed by the Liao Kingdom, which had been confronted for more than a hundred years, but by the Jin Kingdom, which had been established for less than 20 years. At that time, all the emperors, concubines, nobles and princes of the Northern Song Dynasty were plundered to the Kingdom of Jin by the Kingdom of Jin.

Now the relationship between China, Germany and the Soviet Union is similar to that of Song, Liao and Jin. Chen Feng can't guarantee whether Germany will take him down after destroying the Soviet Union.Most importantly, although Chen Feng had the confidence to defeat the Soviet Union and Japan, he really didn't have the confidence to defeat Germany, which country was too crazy and terrifying.After much deliberation, Chen Feng still decided to reject the German's request. He didn't want to be a farmer among snakes, let alone Mr. Dong Guo.

Although Chen Feng only agreed to two of the three conditions put forward by the Germans, it was already a big surprise for Goering and others. Therefore, the two parties signed an agreement in Guisui on December 12. According to the agreement, Chen Feng The family will sell $15 billion worth of penicillin drugs to Germany at 50% of the original price within three months.

Second, Germany will obtain a complete set of production technology and equipment for penicillin with US$20 billion plus a commitment to support China in recovering the territories it has looted for nearly a century.

The China-U.S. negotiations and the China-China negotiations were the biggest adjustments Chen Feng made in his foreign relations. After this adjustment, Chen Feng formally established the foreign policy of resisting Japan, resisting the Soviet Union, and America and Germany.As for Japan, Chen Feng was quick to destroy them.For the Soviet Union, Chen Feng's primary goal was to recover the lost land.If the Soviets cooperate, then the two sides will still get along very well.On the contrary, Chen Feng didn't mind killing it with the Germans.

Regarding the attitude of the Americans, Chen Feng would rather not offend them if he could, and try to be as good as possible if he can, and try to have a harmonious relationship with each other.For Germany, Chen Feng tried not to offend Germany, but in view of the final outcome of Germany, Chen Feng thought that he should try not to get too close to Germany.

With the tripartite trade in full swing, the eighth war zone has also entered a period of rapid development.After more than a year of accumulation and development, Saibei Province now has 141 million armed forces of various types, and Nanyang Territory also has 17 armed forces of various types.

Although it is still not a star and a half behind Japan's 300 million military expansion, compared with the weak Xinghe County Security Corps before, the eighth theater at this time is an out-and-out giant.With nearly 160 million armed forces, even compared with the national government, it is not much worse. Now Chen Feng is completely confident in facing provocations from any country or force.Whether it was Japan, the Soviet Union, or other countries, Chen Feng could no longer be easily succumbed.

In terms of industrial and agricultural production, apart from the newly acquired Dongfang City, Ulaanbaatar City, Zongmod City and other places in Saibei Province, other vast areas have initially completed industrialization construction, especially several major heavy industrial areas and light industrial areas. Now There are more than 2 various factories and mines in Sebei Province, of which 8000 are funded and directly managed by the provincial government, 7694 are directly managed by the theater logistics department, and the rest are private enterprises.

There are so many factories and enterprises that basically meet the daily supply of goods for the people and troops in the province, and even the economy of Saibei Province has undergone earth-shaking changes.The most direct feeling is that the income of ordinary people in Saibei Province has increased this year, and their living standards have also improved a lot, and their consumption power has changed a lot compared with a year ago.

According to the data collected by the provincial government on December 12, in the past year, the total industrial and agricultural production value and government fiscal revenue of Sebei Province have increased significantly. In 18, the provincial government of Sebei Province only received a total of 1939 million ocean taxes. and donations.But this year's tax alone has reached 4209 million oceans, which is about four times that of last year.Although it is still difficult to make ends meet and the financial deficit remains high, but compared to before even the salaries of the military and political officials had to be paid by the Chen family themselves, the situation this year is much better. At least the salaries of the military and political officials are not paid by Chen Feng himself .

In addition, this year's agricultural harvest in northern Saibei Province has been bumper, and the food problem that has plagued the eighth war zone for many years has been well resolved. At least in this year and next, the eighth war zone will not need to import food from outside.Although the grains harvested this year are mainly coarse grains such as corn and potatoes, and fine grains such as wheat and naked oats only account for a small part, but for those who can't even eat enough.The difference between coarse grains and fine grains is not very big, and a catty of fine grains is far less affordable than ten catties of coarse grains.

More importantly, Chen Feng became a father this year, and he got two cubs within a year, and the Chen family has a successor.Especially these two cubs have been extremely smart since they were young, which made Chen Feng fully appreciate the joy of being a father!Throughout 1940, it was a well-deserved harvest year for Saibei Province and the Chen family!
