Chapter 105 Thunder
Regarding the issue of Germany, Fang Jianxiong thought a lot and thought about various situations. Therefore, at this time, he had a relatively clear answer in his mind. But when facing Todman, Fang Jianxiong naturally had to put forward another answer.
Secondary face.
"The country has invested heavily in military industry in recent years, and it has indeed achieved some results, and it has indeed received a lot of help from German friends. However, China has also given Germany a platform to continue after the European War. The cooperation between the two parties is a win-win situation. The problem is
, these achievements achieved by China are all the results of long-term independent research. For example, the new tank is the product of the Eurasian Military Industrial Group's unremitting investment of large amounts of money to develop with the support of the state. Even as the president of the country, I am not good at it.
Let a company come up with technology that they have spent a lot of money and manpower to obtain in vain. Not to mention, these technologies are absolutely leading in the world and will also have a huge impact on possible wars in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that very
It may determine the outcome of the war." Fang Jianxiong stared at Tao Deman who looked ashamed. He said this slowly and then paused for a moment before continuing: "The comprehensive cooperation between Chinese and German enterprises after Europe is not as I expected.
It is a kind of frank and close cooperation. German companies have reservations in many technical fields, such as alloy technology, optical equipment, and petrochemical technology. These reservations may seem like nothing, but in fact they have caused Chinese petrochemical companies to be unable to
Refining high-grade aviation kerosene requires spending a large amount of foreign exchange to import aviation kerosene every year. And..."
Tao Deman raised his hand in time and interrupted Fang Jianxiong rudely: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you are talking about, but I can work hard to get the government to allow the transfer of these technologies to China in exchange for China
Scientific research results in tanks and radar."
"I think this matter is not urgent for the time being. We can wait until the military delegation arrives in Germany to discuss it." Jiang Fangzhen's intention at this time was undoubtedly not good. Military exchanges between China and Germany have existed for a long time.
What the Germans have learned about new tactics is what Jiang Fangzhen cares about. Knowing yourself and the enemy means you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. As the number one person in the army whom Fang Jianxiong trusts most, Jiang Fangzhen knows that Fang Jianxiong has always regarded Germany as an imaginary enemy in his heart. And it is very likely that
Fang Jianxiong has decided to stand on the opposite side of Germany in the next world war. Of course, the last idea is just a guess.
Traudeman left in a hurry. No one dared to delay what the current German head of state Hitler wanted to do. The introduction of tanks and radar technology from China was the result of the strong request of the military. This matter must be taken seriously. Germany is not manufacturing
There are no tanks, but those German generals who studied new tactics together in China are now in important military positions. Their opinions are very unified. The tanks that Germany now designs and produces will be directly replaced by the tanks currently in service in China.
burst.
The proud Germans can only bow their heads on this issue. Not to mention the importance of radar technology in air combat. As for aircraft, the Germans have good things of their own and do not think that Chinese aircraft can be better than German ones.
The cooperation between Chinese and German military industrial enterprises is mainly concentrated in the field of manufacturing naval warships. The Germans cannot be so generous as to offer all technologies. Similarly, China has also secretly hidden some good things, such as sonar, which the Germans do not pay attention to.
Technology. Qingdao Shipyard is installing new sonar equipment on the destroyer. To say that this new destroyer is a technology introduced from France, sonar technology is a product secretly developed by the Chinese themselves. One of the important projects of Sino-German cooperation is submarines.
The sonar technology that the Chinese are secretly researching is undoubtedly aimed at the Sea Wolf tactics that the Germans will pursue in the future. Fang Jianxiong even requested that sonar equipment be installed on large seaplanes. This is to prepare German submarines in the Atlantic Ocean.
The rhythm of tossing to death.
Of course, there are still many good things hidden by the Chinese. Very few people know about these absolute military secrets. So far, anyone who comes into contact with military secrets must sign a confidentiality agreement in advance. If any leaks are found, they will definitely go to the military.
Sent to court.
What good things are you getting back from Germany? Fang Jianxiong touched his chin in a daze, wondering if he wanted to change coal to oil?
In the second half of 1935, something happened that made the great powers quite anxious. In early October, Jiang Fangzhen led a delegation of the National Defense Forces to visit Germany. The navy dispatched a 22,000-ton aircraft carrier, two 32,000-ton battleships, and four
A huge task force consisting of one heavy cruiser, eight light cruisers, 24 destroyers, and six supply ships. Western media called this a major attempt by the Chinese navy, and Chinese media called the navy's move into the deep blue.
Putting aside the actions of the navy, the most important thing is that this time the military delegation has a very high standard. The minister of defense and the top figures of the navy, army and air force are visiting together. This thing is frightening no matter how you look at it. After Hitler came to power, he held high
** banner, now that China and Germany have engaged in this incident again, the first target to be frightened is naturally the Soviet Union. It is said that after Stalin learned of the news, he immediately convened a high-level military meeting. The specific content is unknown. What was planned in response to this incident
The possibility is high.
While the military delegation was still on the way, another incident broke out between China and the United States. At first, COFCO publicly stated in the newspaper that due to the domestic grain harvests year after year, COFCO was under great pressure to purchase grain, so it would stop purchasing grain from the country next year.
The United States imports grain (of which corn accounts for 80%). The aftermath of this matter has not yet bloomed, and then another wave of news came. PetroChina and Sinopec issued statements at the same time, taking into account the military's need for oil, the two giants will begin to terminate their operations next year.
Importing oil from the United States
The plan was to cooperate with oil companies from the UK and the Netherlands to import a large amount of light crude oil for national strategic reserves. What happened throughout late October was dizzying. Following the statements issued by the above three giants, domestic private enterprise giants also
All have stopped importing products from the United States. The most eye-catching among them are private enterprises such as Eurasia Group, Norinco, South China Longsheng Heavy Industry, Shanghai Dongfang Heavy Industry, Northeast Sanjiang Heavy Industry, etc., which have successively stopped importing machinery and equipment, special materials, alloys, etc. from the United States.
wait.
Overall, these orders that previously belonged to U.S. companies were worth approximately US$3 billion. In 1935, the total import volume of Chinese companies from the United States was US$3 billion. The loss of such a large order, especially in today's world economic downturn,
Under the premise of prosperity, it is a foreseeable result that American capitalists will go crazy.
Not only domestic companies in the United States have been affected, but companies investing in China have also been greatly affected. For example, the new bomber designed by the Sino-US joint venture Huabo Aviation Manufacturing Group did not pass the review requirements of the Air Force. According to
According to the Air Force, this new aircraft developed by Huabo Group uses technologies that have been proven to be "backward".
Technology. The Air Force's actions directly affected civil aviation. China Airlines also rejected Huabo's new passenger aircraft in its subsequent new aircraft purchase plan. Moreover, this incident was just the beginning. Sino-US joint ventures continued to emerge, and in the subsequent time
Many conflicts have occurred within the country. The core of the conflict mainly provided the United States with "backward technology" that failed to meet China's requirements.
Boeing was naturally unconvinced and asked for help from the U.S. government. The U.S. government immediately put pressure on the Chinese side. The Chinese side responded directly. The new bomber provided by Huabo Group was more powerful than the latest one in service with the U.S. Air Force.
There are huge gaps in various data about the B-17 Flying Fortress. The Chinese Air Force does not need a bomber that is already lagging behind before it is equipped.
What happened between China and the United States? Why did it suddenly turn into this after years of close cooperation? The great powers are very curious and want to find out. The U.S. government is very aggrieved, and we have not done anything unscrupulous to the Chinese.
Well, why did you suddenly change your face?
U.S. President Roosevelt was under tremendous pressure. An order worth billions of dollars was enough to make those members of the U.S. Congress jump out and spit on the president to death. After carefully analyzing a series of changes, Roosevelt decided to send a special envoy, Herbert Roosevelt.
Earley came to China and took over as the United States Minister.
After receiving the notice, Hurley rushed to the White House to meet with Roosevelt. Hurley had always been deeply trusted by Roosevelt. This time he visited China with a very special identity, that is, he was Roosevelt's personal representative. American intelligence personnel were obviously not vegetarians.
, it is natural to connect the new development of Sino-German relations with the changes in Sino-US relations. After careful analysis, we came to the conclusion that the Chinese are acting abnormally! The specific reasons are currently unknown.
After meeting Hurley, Roosevelt first reported the results of this analysis. He said to Hurley with a solemn expression: "The existence of China objectively limits the maritime threat from the east to the Japanese Navy. At the same time, the rapid development of the Chinese Navy also
A major threat to the U.S. Navy. The U.S. government’s policy towards China is very clear, which requires both cooperation and restriction. In any case, there cannot be an alliance between China and Germany. That would be a major issue for the U.S. national strategy.
The blow.”
After some thought, Hurley said to Roosevelt: "Franklin, I don't think the possibility of a Sino-German alliance will exist. For a long time, China has been showing a pro-American posture in front of countries around the world. This posture is all-round. After all,
What caused the Chinese government to take the above actions? I think it is still unclear.
Careful research is needed. Here, I think it is necessary to remind that Mr. Fisher, the former adviser to the President of the United States on China, is now the general financial adviser to the Ministry of Finance of the Chinese government. I think I should contact Mr. Fisher as soon as possible.
We want to get something from him that we want to get."
Roosevelt nodded and said: "This is a good idea!" At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the office door, and Hopkins hurried in and said: "The Chinese suddenly announced a major medical achievement!"
Chapter completed!
