Chapter 129 The British Foreign Secretary Is Here
Can the Soviet Union agree? Even Cyric didn't know.
On the surface, the Soviet Union took a big advantage. You must know that building an aircraft carrier is almost a plan to exhaust the Soviet Union's national strength. Just look at the Soviet-made battleships.
And now? The Soviet Union only needs to ship out the minerals! The Soviet Union has a lot of minerals, aluminum, tungsten, manganese, etc., and various rare elements! To build an aircraft carrier, the amount of minerals needed is huge, it must be transported by rail, and the Soviet Union must be transformed!
And, apart from Germany, no other country would do this! Only export minerals, can you exchange for an aircraft carrier? What a joke! Ask the United Kingdom, France, the United States, are you willing?
Even Italy has no such ability, only Germany!
It can be said that if the Soviets wanted to get an aircraft carrier, they had to rely on Germany, and there was no branch!
If the Soviet Union doesn't want to pay anything, and only relies on the output of ore, it wants an aircraft carrier? What a joke!
The Soviet Union must change the railway, not to change the railway, this is not to talk about!
Let the Soviets worry about whether they want national defense or railways!
In fact, this project, whether it is achieved or not, will not do any harm to Germany. If it is achieved, Germany will not deliver the aircraft carrier to the Soviet Union! joke! The warships built in the past are almost the same for the Soviet Union. The aircraft carrier is a strategic class. It will be delayed continuously in the future, and finally it will be left in the German navy!
And if it doesn't work out, then Germany has nothing to lose. Anyway, the shipyards are too busy now.
Tukhachevsky frowned and did not speak, of course he knew what it meant by the unified railway! This is a condition put forward by the Germans. If this condition is not agreed, then the rest will be avoided!
Can the Soviet Union agree? Of course not! So, Tukhachevsky said cautiously: "I'm afraid we don't have the extra funds to renovate the railway, and if this railway is renovated, then the trains on our other railway network will not be able to run on this line. It's inconvenient for us."
"It's simple," Cyric said. "If that's the case, then we'll just build a special line for ore transportation, from the Ural Mountains to the border, and connect it to Europe. Isn't it convenient? It's dedicated to transporting ore."
Build a special line!
In later generations, in order to transport coal from Huaxia, Huaxia specially built a Datong-Qinhuangdao railway from Datong to Qinhuangdao. There is only one task, that is, to transport coal!
A steady stream of coal from Datong was transported out, and then loaded on ships, and some were transported to thermal power plants in the south, and some were transported across the ocean to the island country.
Then, the island country directly unloaded the coal into the sea, rich and self-willed.
And now, doesn't the Soviet Union dislike that? Simply, build a special line!
Now, Germany needs a strategic reserve, the more ore the better! If it can reserve enough for more than ten years of war, then Germany doesn't have to worry about resources!
"As for the investment in this line, it should be made by you. However, you can also consider using ore to convert it and leave it to us to solve it." Cyric said.
In this era, it is not difficult to build railways. In later generations, what will be the big part of building railways? It is demolition compensation! A group such as the second generation of demolition was also born.
In this era, there is not so much nonsense, especially in the Soviet Union, when they say that they want to acquire land, they can be acquired immediately!
Therefore, there is only money left to build the railway. If the Soviet Union does not have it, it will still be paid for with ore!
Tukhachevsky did not speak, because he no longer needed to say anything! Any reason will not be a reason!
When it was about to cool off, Graff walked in and said a few words to Cyric's ear, so Cyric could only say to the Soviet guests with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry, Something happened to Berlin, I need to go back, and the rest of the trip will be accompanied by our other personnel."
In this way, Cyric stood up and walked out, leaving a helpless Soviet man behind.
Germans' conditions, yes or no?
Cyric is not fighting psychological warfare. For Lao Maozi, if he really does psychological warfare, there is only one way, drinking!
If you drink these guys in a wine shop, let alone change the railway, let them paint the Kremlin with cute pink paint, and dress Stalin as a white-bearded Santa Claus , they can agree!
Cyric really prepared a game, looking for a few guys who could drink, and planned to accompany these people from the Soviet Union. After all, when Cyric went to the Soviet Union, he was warmly welcomed. Now, Cyric K is also enthusiastic.
But now, Cyric had to leave, because something really happened in Berlin.
British Foreign Secretary, Samuel Hall, came to Berlin with a large group of high-ranking British naval officers!
When he heard this name, Cyric knew that what should come has finally come, and this person is the best object! Historically, what is his evaluation? The famous appeasement of Chamberlain's cabinet!
This guy's main contribution was that when he was the Minister of Indian Affairs, he took on the important task of formulating and maintaining the Indian Constitution in parliamentary debates, making the government pass the Indian Act, and thus became famous.
And now, having just taken over this position, he has come to Germany.
He did not stay long in history. At the end of this year, after the outbreak of the Ethiopian Anti-Italian War, he and French Prime Minister Pierre Laval conspired to cede two-thirds of Ethiopia's territory in exchange for the "Hall" cooperating with Italy. The Laval Agreement was revealed, and he resigned due to public condemnation.
However, he did not stay long, and continued to serve as Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of the Seal, and Secretary of the Air Force. He fully supported the policy of appeasement and the "Munich Agreement" and was a core member of the Neville-Chamberlain cabinet.
This guy is much more important than the current Tukhachevsky! Therefore, Cyric had to hurry back, a big event was about to happen!
In later generations, Chamberlain's policy of appeasement can be described as a policy that everyone shouts and beats. How can this guy be so spineless?
However, in this era, we can know that the policy of appeasement has its breeding ground!
World War I was a tragic world war. Even the victors were victorious. In World War I, a whole generation of British youth was lost! Therefore, many people who came down from World War I do not want to start another war.
Peace is precious. If the problem can be solved through negotiation, don't resort to war. This is their line of thinking.
Cyric likes this idea!
