Chapter 701 Arrived in Berlin

Although Chen Cheng was not convenient to go to Germany, Ye Tian remembered his earnest request.

Get more cannons and anti-aircraft guns, especially large-caliber heavy guns!

It must be said that in the Chinese delegation, Ye Tian was only the deputy head of the delegation.

The head of the delegation was Kong Xiangxi, who was appointed Minister of Finance, and his wife was Song Ailing.

Song Ailing was not an ordinary person, she was the eldest sister of the first lady Song Meiling.

And Song Meiling's second brother-in-law Sun Yat-sen was an even more famous figure.

There is no doubt that the three sisters of the Song family are an extremely prominent sister combination.

As a generation of national mother, Song Qingling loved the country and the people and was deeply admired by the people;

Song Meiling married Jiang Jieshi, and as the first lady, she was even more powerful and could be said to be able to call the wind and rain;

Song Ailing married Kong Xiangxi, was good at financial management, and managed China's finances in an orderly manner.

It is not wrong to say that they have incredible influence on China, and to a certain extent can affect the historical process of China, and are the focus of world attention.

After traveling through time, Ye Tian finally knew one thing.

Kong Xiangxi was not only Jiang Jieshi's double-faced lover, but also the matchmaker between Jiang Jieshi and Song Meiling.

It was precisely because of this opportunity, coupled with his own talent, that Kong Xiangxi was able to manage China's finances for many years.

In fact, in addition to managing the country's finances, Kong Xiangxi also made great contributions in reforming the currency system and building modern banks.

Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, it was because of the hard work of this steward that China was able to struggle.

Of course, it was rumored that Kong Xiangxi abused his power for personal gain and was corrupt, and there were many stains.

In this regard, Ye Tian believed that in the general direction, Kong Xiangxi's contribution was greater.

In addition, as a pure soldier, Ye Tian was unwilling to be involved in officialdom.

As the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, he worked together with various anti-Japanese armed forces to fight the war well.

In fact, although Ye Tian and Kong Xiangxi had just met, the relationship between the two was very good.

The reason was very simple. Ye Tian was highly valued by Jiang Jieshi.

In addition, privately, Ye Tian gave Jiang Jieshi a lot of money, and all this money was managed by Kong Xiangxi.

Also, this time when he went to Germany, he always thought of trying to bring back a large number of weapons, but the funds in his hands were limited, and he could even be called stretched, so Kong Xiangxi asked Ye Tian for help.

Kong Xiangxi's meaning was very simple, that is, to let Ye Tian perform well in Germany and impress the German high-level officials, so that China could pay as little money as possible.

If a batch of free weapons or loan weapons could be obtained, it would be even better.

Without money in hand, the heart is panic.

And Ye Tian is no different from China's money-giving boy, this is Kong Xiangxi's inner thought.

Therefore, when communicating with Ye Tian, ​​Kong Xiangxi was very low-key, and he did not have the airs of a Chinese steward at all.

The head of the group was so low-key, and the accompanying staff was even more so.

And the accompanying staff, in addition to financial talents, were more technical soldiers.

Along the way, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Inspired by Ye Tian's self-confidence, everyone had great hope.

What made Kong Xiangxi and his friends dumbfounded was that the boastful German ambassador to China, Trautmann, was also very low-key when communicating with Ye Tian.

What they didn't know was that before this, Hitler had sent telegrams to Trautmann many times, asking him to urge Jiang Jieshi so that Ye Tian could visit Germany as soon as possible.

Finding that his efforts had finally paid off, Trautmann was very happy, because he kept laughing and his mouth couldn't close.

In fact, because Germany has been strongly supporting China in recent years, and as a middleman, Trautmann has a high status in China.

A military airport in Berlin.

After a long journey, when the night fell again, the plane arrived here safely.

It must be said that during the flight, three German fighters chose to escort the whole journey.

This shows how much importance Germany attaches to Ye Tian's arrival.

In fact, before the plane landed, with its amazing night vision, Ye Tian saw a big killer.

There are many of these big killers, and Ye Tian is itching to see them.

88mm anti-aircraft gun!

This is the most successful artillery system in World War II, and it is a medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

In addition to its outstanding air defense capabilities, the most talked-about thing is that it has unparalleled anti-tank capabilities.

The caliber of standard anti-tank guns is very small, Germany's is 37 mm, and the UK uses 40 mm guns.

The 88 mm anti-aircraft gun was designed by Krupp, the world's top artillery manufacturer.

The Krupp family has always been a wealthy family in Germany and is favored by the highest authorities.

Like other Germans, they strictly abide by time, strictly follow discipline, and execute orders thoroughly...

Even saying that they are serious and strict is a bit rigid, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, as a defeated country in World War I, Germany was strictly restricted from developing armaments according to various treaties.

What makes people laugh and cry is that this artillery was not designed and manufactured by the German parent company, but by a subsidiary in Switzerland.

With the development and progress of science and technology, bombers fly higher and faster.

For this reason, if you want to accurately hit bombers, the requirements for anti-aircraft guns are very high.

Most importantly, the shell must have a high muzzle velocity.

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun does this.

In fact, it has many advantages.

In air defense operations, this weapon can automatically feed ammunition.

In fact, anti-aircraft guns need hundreds or thousands of shells to shoot down aircraft.

Even so, it does not rely on direct hits.

In fact, it is difficult for shrapnel after the explosion to directly hit the enemy's aircraft.

The shells directly hit the aircraft unless you are lucky.

Anti-aircraft machine guns rely on dense barrages and try to hit the aircraft as much as possible.

The power of anti-aircraft guns mainly depends on the shock wave generated after the shells explode.

This anti-aircraft gun can automatically feed ammunition, coupled with a fast initial velocity and high rate of fire, so it can achieve dense rapid firing.

Under the operation of a well-trained soldier, it can fire 15 shells in one minute!

In addition, its barrel is divided into two parts.

If one part is broken, it can be quickly replaced, thus saving materials and labor.

In addition, the firing method is electric and the gun door is a sliding door, which can ensure that the shells can be fired quickly.

Of course, in the most important indicator, that is, the maximum range of air defense, this cannon does very well.

Yes, the shells can fly up to 10,000 meters. If this is not outstanding, what is?

If the muzzle is placed flat to attack ground targets, it can even hit 15,000 meters!

Looking at the densely packed weapons on the ground, Ye Tian once again made up his mind.

Even if he doesn't want any weapons, he must get more of these weapons.
