Chapter 710: The Great Man's Ecstasy
In this battle, many excellent soldiers, even high-ranking officers, will shed blood on the battlefield.
In fact, many troops with strong combat effectiveness may be disabled by the Japanese and lose their organizational structure.
Obviously, if you want to avoid this kind of tragedy, Ye Tian's performance is extremely important.
Although Kong Xiangxi was the great steward of China, he was extremely powerful.
However, during this trip, his status was far inferior to Ye Tian.
In fact, before the delegation came to Germany, Jiang Jieshi, Kong Xiangxi, and many big shots in the military and political circles gathered together and offered their suggestions.
The conclusion is that when the delegation returns to China, it is best to bring back some weapons at low prices, especially cannons of various calibers that China is in urgent need of.
Of course, if Germany doesn't give face and is only willing to sell at a fair price, China has no other way.
Yes, Germany has supported China in various ways for so many years, but she is not a living Bodhisattva, so why should she be so nice to you?
Why are you, China, so able to think of good things?
The relationship between countries is actually similar to interpersonal communication.
Be willing to give up, be willing to give up, and only by giving up can you gain.
Only by giving up something can you get something else.
The sky will not drop pie out of thin air.
In fact, even if the pie is lost, even if China has a vast land, abundant resources, and a vast territory, it will still be difficult to fall within the borders of China.
…
In fact, early this morning, when Ye Tian just left the embassy, the embassy immediately fell into chaos.
Jiang Jieshi was very excited when he heard that when Ye Tian gave his lecture, a large group of German generals would attend, including Hitler himself.
The military situation is extremely urgent, and the Battle of Songhu is said to start on August 13th.
However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is entirely possible for this battle to break out in advance.
After long-distance transportation, after the weapons on the German side are in place, they still need to go through procedures such as installation, debugging, and soldier running-in before they can form combat effectiveness.
In a word, time is tight and the task is heavy, so Jiang Jieshi is very anxious.
Jiang Jieshi very much hoped that the delegation visiting Germany could achieve good results, that is, bring back as many modern weapons as possible.
Make bricks without straw.
In fact, this sentence is more suitable for soldiers.
Also, nowadays, it is no longer the era of cold weapons.
In the era of cold weapons, under normal circumstances, the side with more people has a greater chance of winning the final victory.
However, in the era of thermal weapons, it is difficult to exert numerical advantage.
For example, if a large-caliber artillery shell hits from dozens of miles away, it is likely to kill hundreds of people, or even more.
If a large force is in a marching formation, such as a standard division with 10,000 men, it will be difficult for it to last for an hour in the face of carpet bombing.
It was under this circumstance that Ye Tian came to the embassy again.
Kong Xiangxi and the others were relieved when they saw Ye Tian coming.
At the same time, they all looked at Ye Tian pitifully, indicating that they were mentally prepared to get good news.
Seeing how busy they were, and knowing their confusion and intentions, Ye Tianzhen felt extremely embarrassed.
Now, Ye Tian regrets one thing.
It's very simple. After the lecture, he should not go to the hotel to play with Allen, but should go directly back to the embassy.
With his mind spinning, Ye Tian suddenly thought of something.
Ye Tian planned to bring some members of the delegation there during the afternoon lecture.
In this way, we can contact the country at any time.
Also, it can make them raise their posture.
Facing the anxious eyes of Kong Xiangxi and others, Ye Tian didn't hesitate and directly talked about the situation in the morning.
Of course, Ye Tian was not stupid enough to tell Allen's story.
What Ye Tian didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, Kong Xiangxi and the others were stunned.
At the same time, ecstasy was still written on their faces.
What?
Germany supports Chinese artillery for free?
At this moment, Hitler was discussing with senior military officers the amount of assistance! ?
No money, not a penny!
In addition to 75 caliber cannons, there are also 105 caliber cannons! ?
There are even 150 caliber ones! ?
Kong Xiangxi and the others often contact Germany for support. They know very well that the value of even the 105mm cannon, let alone the 150-caliber cannon, is absolutely sky-high.
What I have to say is that this sky-high price is still based on Germany's profit concession.
To put it bluntly, buying a 150 mm caliber cannon from abroad may not be successful even if it is purchased at a high price.
Kong Xiangxi and the others were still in shock, but Ye Tian was the first to react.
At Ye Tian's prompting, Kong Xiangxi suddenly realized what he was doing and immediately sent a telegram to the country.
Naturally, after receiving this telegram, Jiang Jieshi immediately responded.
In the call back, Jiang Jieshi praised Ye Tian and hoped that he would continue his efforts and make new achievements.
In fact, there are also stars gathering around Jiang Jieshi at this moment.
These big shots couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that Ye Tian could get some modern cannons for free before anything happened.
Chinese Embassy in Germany.
As the deputy leader of the delegation, Ye Tian exercised his power in time while waiting for Kong Xiangxi and others to get over their excitement.
While having lunch, we discussed the issue of assistance.
Realizing that there was a lot of information in Ye Tian's words, Kong Xiangxi and the others nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
During the period, after an attendant's introduction, Ye Tian finally had a deeper understanding of the previous transactions between the two countries.
In fact, the friendly relationship between the two countries is based on mutual benefit, win-win cooperation.
Germany needs China's rare strategic metals, especially tungsten ore.
It is a key material for making tungsten alloy steel. Whether it is making guns or cannons, if you want to improve the quality, you can't do without this thing.
Germany is seriously lacking in this resource, but Asia has a lot of it.
In this regard, Asia's output accounts for 80% of the global output.
And the output of South China is the first in Asia.
Therefore, China's tungsten mines have a very important position in Hitler's mind.
On the other hand, China, because of its weak national strength, can be completely defeated by Germany in both economy and technology.
Especially in terms of modern weapons, the gap between China and Germany is at least decades!
So the two sides hit it off and became friendly countries.
What people talk about is that most of the transactions between the two sides are not in cash, but barter.
Of course, this is not entirely because Germany thinks China has no money.
In fact, Hitler attaches great importance to the real economy and is very disgusted with the financial industry.
Barter is not only welcomed by China, but also by Hitler.
In this way, both countries got what they wanted.
However, although the scale of this transaction is not small, it is not very large.
