Chapter 1191 Farewell Reception

With regard to the post-war restrictions on Germany's military power, China believes that it is extremely unreasonable. Germany has the right to independently develop its own military power, especially in the case of severe threats to its surrounding areas. Reasonably, China is also willing to provide corresponding help to Germany.

After the publication of such a joint communiqué, it caused an international uproar.

First of all, the Netherlands jumped out to sternly condemn, saying that China has seriously violated the legal rights of the Netherlands in the Balkans and violated the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Netherlands.It is believed that this is a new manifestation of China's foreign aggression and expansion, and reminds all relevant countries to be vigilant about China's performance.

Britain, on the other hand, is extremely disturbed, believing that China's involvement in the Potsdam Convention has seriously violated the legality of the treaty. This is a flagrant contempt for international law and an extremely irresponsible act.At the same time, this is also a denial of the legal ruling of the League of Nations and reminds China to pay attention to its words and deeds.

France seems to be fully united with the United Kingdom, resolutely safeguarding the legal status of the "Potsdam Convention", and at the same time resolutely maintaining the adjudication status of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, but in the end, it cautiously asked whether the Balkan issue could be resolved peacefully through negotiations between the two countries.After France raised the issue, Britain is also actively engaged in Balkan negotiations.

Portugal believes that all countries should try their best to maintain restraint and calm to maintain world peace, but they also believe that it is understandable for Germany to doubt the legitimacy of the "Potsdam Convention", and its distrust of the Hague International Court is also reasonable.Portugal, which has not signed the treaty with Germany, also has reservations about some decisions in The Hague.

The Soviet Union believed that the alliance between China and Germany was to attack itself from east to west. On the one hand, they launched diplomatic offensives with China and Germany respectively, hoping to sign something similar to a non-aggression pact.On the other hand, it is vigorously preparing for war, investing all industrial forces in the construction of the army, paying close attention to the army, and vigorously building national defense.

But in fact, both Britain and France have the view that the alliance between China and Germany is to pinch the Soviet Union, so that the two most threatening countries will fall into endless internal friction.In the end, a new war will break out between China and Germany for hegemony at both ends of Europe and Asia. This is exactly what the two countries hope to see most.Then, for the most favorable situation, it is completely possible to sacrifice the interests of some small countries, and it is completely acceptable to tolerate some actions of China and Germany in the surrounding areas, such as Poland, which belongs to the scope of sacrifice.

As a result, Britain and France unanimously strengthened their defenses on the Western Front, and the "Maginot Line of Defense" was strengthened again under such circumstances.The UK has also begun strengthening its military presence in Australia.After all, China has always been eyeing Oceania. In order to prevent China from advancing southward, it is also necessary for Britain to enter Australia appropriately.

France is very clear that no matter what, it will inevitably have a life-and-death battle with China, and it can't rely on anyone but itself.Dealing with the Soviet Union is China's long-term goal, but before the Soviet Union, China is entirely possible to deal with itself first, or must deal with itself first.Based on this understanding, France accelerated the pace of military expansion and preparations for war, invested two-thirds of its national power in army building, and took the lead in starting the process of militarization of the national economy.

It can be said that as soon as the joint communiqué came out, the whole world went crazy, and the already chaotic world fell into even more serious chaos.

On the evening of October 1924, 10, Berlin.

In order to send off Pu Yin and his party, the German side held a grand farewell reception.Wilhelm II did not come forward, because it was a military delegation, mainly senior generals of the German Wehrmacht and SS went here to see him off.

The atmosphere of the whole reception was also very cheerful, because Pu Yin was very young, the young German military officers were also very open, and everyone drank to their heart's content.Although Pu Yin was too strong to drink, he drank a lot.In the past few days in Germany, Pu Yin met a group of military officers who will shine in the future.

"Mr. Pu Yin, I admire your achievements in the field of science, especially the two bombs and one satellite, which is really amazing." Doenitz said very honestly, "I have heard about your country's armor tactics for a long time. Yes, as early as 1910, "Blitz" and "Great Depth, Wide Front" were very popular in our country's military academies."

"I'm sorry. What I have achieved in the scientific community is only insignificant, and I owe it to the dedicated scientists of the empire." Pu Yin said meaningfully, "There are still many scientific problems in front of us."

Dönitz smiled, "In the past we didn't pay much attention to the armored forces, but the Kaiser appointed me as the director of the armored forces, and now I can let go."

"Congratulations, as an army general, I don't think I have any more enjoyable job than the commander of the armored mechanized unit." Pu Yin and Denitz clinked a glass, "From my layman's point of view The direction of the army's advancement is definitely mechanization and grouping, and the armored force is the ultimate integrated force of these, I have no doubts about this, at least in this century I believe that the main development direction of the army is like this."

"I completely agree. Facing the heavy defenses of the US military and a large number of fortifications, your country's steel army, hehe, is real steel. It can be said that it is as powerful as a bamboo. It is always at the forefront." Doenitz sighed, " This is very inspiring to me. You know that Germany has many enemies in Europe. I can say frankly that we admire your country’s tactics and firmly believe that this is the The shortest path to victory for us."

Pu Yin laughed and said, "For terrain like Europe, it is very suitable for large-scale armored warfare, especially for certain countries."

"Yes, that's right. But our German army lacks experience in this area, and tank equipment is also very lacking, so I hope that your country will mainly export tanks and armor weapons in the first batch of weapons exports this year, and at the same time, can you send a batch of Teachers and technicians come to Germany," says Dönitz.

According to the treaty document signed by Germany and China, China will provide Germany with some new weapons during the treaty period, including tanks, but Dönitz hopes to advance the time as much as possible, which is completely in line with the agreement.

"Well, this is easy to handle. Since we have signed the treaty documents, then we will follow the rules." Pu Yin said, "You can send a working group to the empire to discuss the details of the introduction, and at the same time select a group of technical personnel. "

It was expected, and Pu Yin was not surprised. According to the agreement, a batch of advanced weapons were provided (with reservations, of course), including training and maintenance.

"Oh, you guys chatted very well." Hao Si walked over, "Mr. Pu Yin, I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Hehe, thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Pu Yin raised his glass, "I also wish your goal to be realized as soon as possible. Of course, we are happy to provide some help."

Hauss didn't know why, but Dönitz certainly understood what the other party was talking about. It was some time ago that Dönitz had a long conversation with Pu Yin. Pu Yin mentioned in the conversation that a large number of submarine troops were used. The "Wolf Pack" submarine force during the attack of the wolves carried out unrestricted submarine warfare just like World War I, cutting off the sea routes of US aid to Western European countries.In this plan, Doenitz believes that it takes about 120 submarines to form 1012 wolf packs to ensure the blockade plan.Pu Yinze made it clear that at least about 360 submarines should be maintained at sea, and with such a basis for forming about 30 wolf packs, the North Atlantic route can be completely blocked, including the blockade of the coastal areas of the Soviet Union, Britain, and France.At this time, Dönitz pinned his hopes on the submarine, hoping that this weapon could make up for the lack of large capital ships of the German Navy.After listening to Pu Yin's words, he strengthened his determination. At the same time, Pu Yin also agreed to provide submarine technical support to Germany.

In fact, Pu Yin had already thought about it, and it was enough to provide Germany with the relatively mature Seawolf submarine designed by the Imperial Navy in the model of a German submarine more than ten years ago. He would never provide the Jiawu-class nuclear submarine to Germany.After all, an unreserved foreign aid plan is a dangerous behavior for one's own country, and at the same time, why not do this kind of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.So after persuading Raeder, Dönitz put forward a plan for the navy to have 300400 submarines, which was later determined to be 360, including self-built and purchased Chinese submarines, finished and semi-finished.Since 1924, Germany has had about 70 submarines, and strives to complete this plan before the end of 1925.Of course, after the war broke out, the speed of the whole plan was greatly increased. "Thank you. Whether our plan can be realized depends on your country's support." Denitz laughed.

"Hehe, of course we are willing to support as allies." Pu Yin wondered why he came here tonight, and it was all these few words.In fact, Pu Yin knows in his heart that for authoritarian countries, as long as the leaders are in a good mood and feel happy, with a flick of a pen, any aid, loan, or dispatch of personnel to aid in construction is easy to handle. The two families are like brothers.But as long as the leaders turn their faces, there will be great policy changes. There are really many examples of brothers who were originally comrades turned against each other.

Although Dönitz was a senior military officer of the Communist Party of China in the past, like many famous World War II generals, he was reactivated after spending several years in a prisoner-of-war camp. This is also China's intention.There is a difference between his personal style and his political style. Although he later acted as the Minister of War, he is a soldier of flesh and blood in his bones, and he is a typical officer belonging to the Prussian army.On military issues, he usually doesn't get involved with personal feelings, so he said seriously: "Thank you for your help, but I hope to see our submarine as soon as possible. Please forgive me, please understand my mood, I It doesn't mean anything else. It's just that you know that our German navy is far behind the British navy. In terms of the number of capital ships, we can't even compare with the French navy. And as you said that day, the submarine is a weapon that can be To a certain extent, it can make up for the lack of capital ships. Now your country has signed a capital ship construction plan with our navy, so I hope that the submarine plan can also be implemented as soon as possible.”
