Hans, who had experienced World War I, naturally knew the cruelty of war, and he also knew better what kind of situation Germany would face once defeated. In fact, Hans did not agree with all the analyzes Tang Cheng had just made. After all, the current situation in the East
On the front-line battlefield, the German army still had the advantage. However, Tangcheng's analysis of logistical supplies and guerrilla destruction, as well as the coming winter, made Hans's heart become heavier and heavier. The silent Hans was thinking secretly, Tangcheng
Cheng was observing his reaction, and neither of them spoke.
After a while, Tang Cheng spoke first, breaking the silence in the study. "Hans, I know you are a patriotic person, otherwise you would not have stayed in Shanghai for so many years! But this damn war will always end.
Curtain! During World War I, you, Germany, became the loser and were finally jointly sanctioned by other participating countries. If I were you, the most important thing you should consider now is not to blame others or think about returning to the exhibition. The most important thing you should consider now is if Germany
Defeated, what can you do for defeated Germany?"
Tang Cheng's last words made Hans look confused. The country's defeat was due to the military's dereliction of duty. What happened after the defeat was the responsibility of politicians. What does it have to do with an ordinary person like him? Facing Hans's
With searching eyes, Tang Cheng grinned and chuckled, "Do you think I'm joking with you? You have experienced World War I, you should know the consequences of defeat and sanctions! Unemployed people are everywhere, prices are soaring,
With chaotic security and frequent crimes, what do you think Germany will be like after its defeat?"
Tangcheng has not experienced World War I, but there are many descriptions and information about the aftermath of Germany's defeat in World War I on the Internet. When he talked about the soaring prices, Hans's eyebrows began to tremble. According to
Tang Cheng was familiar with Hans and knew that this was a sign of Hans' excitement. "Why does your head of state dare to face the whole of Europe and the Soviet Union? I personally feel that the most important reason is because you, Germany, have
The best military industrial enterprises and related talents in the world today."
Tangcheng is right about this. If Germany did not have a first-class military-industrial foundation, the head of state in Berlin would not dare to face the whole of Europe. In the end, a two-front war was launched. "The military-industrial foundation is Germany's greatest advantage.
, is also one of Germany’s original sins. Once Germany loses the war, neither Stalin nor the United Kingdom, the United States, and France will remain indifferent to Germany’s military-industrial enterprises. By then, I am afraid that Germany will stage the Ruhr crisis again.”
What Tangcheng is talking about at the moment is the danger of Luer.
The reason is that after World War I, Germany, as a defeated country, was burdened with war compensation. However, the German government used inflation and financial crisis as excuses to request a delay in paying so-called war compensation. However, France joined forces with Belgium to argue that the German government did not fulfill its obligations to pay war compensation.
On the grounds of compensation, 100,000 troops were directly dispatched to occupy the Ruhr Industrial Area in Germany. This was the so-called Ruhr Crisis. The Ruhr Area is Germany's largest industrial base and the lifeblood of Germany. France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr Area.
It is to curb Germany's industrial lifeline.
As a German, how could Hans not know about the Ruhr crisis? When he heard Tang Cheng mention this, Hans's heart skipped a beat. He finally understood what Tang Cheng wanted to say. "I'm doing it now.
A plan, and you are the protagonist in this plan!" Before Hans could speak, Tang Cheng continued. His words really caught Hans' attention, and Tang Cheng said with a smile, "I plan to wait and see first.
As a result, once the war on the Eastern Front turns out to be what I predicted, then my plan will be useful."
Under Hans' repeated questioning, the mysterious Tang Cheng finally revealed his so-called post-war plan, "You are now an American on the surface, so even if you return to Germany after the war, it will not cause any trouble."
Attention of the occupying forces. Hong Kong will be the starting point of our business in the future, but Hong Kong has no mineral resources and no heavy industry foundation. Therefore, the only labor-intensive industries we can do are textiles and clothing. Germany also has textile companies, you
If you go to Germany to purchase textile equipment, you will definitely not attract attention."
"First enter Germany by purchasing textile equipment, and then hire textile-related personnel on a small scale. After you have established a foothold in Germany, you will begin to secretly hire and transfer technical talents from other industries in Germany. We can first go to Hong Kong,
Establish relevant research institutions, and after new technologies are developed, we can go to other countries to establish relevant production enterprises, such as Germany, where the unemployment rate has increased significantly after the war." Tangcheng's words seemed to be just what Hans said.
He was talking to himself, but Tang Cheng’s last words made Hans’ eyes light up.
What Tang Cheng said tonight sounded too complicated and confusing. After the restless Hans returned home, he almost didn't close his eyes all night, he just tossed and turned.
Think about what Tang Cheng said. As a German, Hans naturally does not want to see Germany defeated, but Tang Cheng's analysis of the Eastern Front battlefield is not unreasonable. The head of state in Berlin is a qualified speaker
and politicians, but he is definitely not a qualified commander, otherwise the top brass of the National Defense Forces would not have violated that head of state.
Hans, who didn't close his eyes until the sky was bright, immediately came to Tang's house. He wanted to continue the topic that he had not finished last night with Tang Cheng. Hans came to him so early, Tang Cheng knew in his heart that he knew Hans
This was because he was persuaded. They were still in the study room in the backyard. There was a fairly sumptuous breakfast on the table in front of the two of them. While eating, the two of them chatted about last night's topic. "Hans, you have to understand, why?
There is no contradiction between making money for yourself and dedicating yourself to the country."
"In other words, if you can't even support your own family, what else do you have to contribute to the country?" Looking at the troubled Hans, Tang Cheng, holding back a smile, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.
After lighting up a cigarette and taking a puff, Tang Cheng continued, "It is right for a country to put the country first, but that is when the country is facing a crisis. Once the war is over, economic development will become the key to rejuvenating the country.
The main method is, how can a person who can't even make money revive the country?"
"You have been in Chongqing for such a long time, so you should know how I do things! When I followed Uncle Zhang south to Chongqing, I had almost no extra money and no manpower around me. But now, how many people do I have?
There are ten good people who can be used, there is a farm outside the city, and there are dozens of shops in the city. All these are not obtained by force, and the income from the farm and shop is not mine alone.
Everyone owns it.”
"The military commander has never given me the so-called funds. The money I took from them is the bounty for us to actively collect intelligence and clues and capture Japanese and puppet spies. I am not telling you this to show off to you, but
It’s just to illustrate one thing. As long as you are willing to work hard and find a way, your life will definitely be changed." Tang Cheng paused and left Hans enough time to think about it. In the final analysis, whether Hans wants to participate or not will not matter.
Hans still needs to make his own decision.
Tang Cheng waited for a while and finished smoking the cigarette. He didn't wait for Hans to express his position. He could only continue. "I always pay attention to win-win when doing things! I
This plan will indeed bring enough benefits to my side, but if this plan succeeds, Germany will also get more benefits. At least in post-war Germany, the problem of unemployment can be greatly improved.
"
"We can even use our products to exchange for food in other countries and ship it to Germany by sea to curb the trouble of soaring prices. As long as the post-war Germans can fill their stomachs first, other problems will not be a problem.
You have been in Chongqing for so long. Are there fewer broken soldiers and beggars on the streets day by day? The newly built farms outside the city can not only accommodate these broken soldiers and beggars who have nowhere to go, but also provide a continuous supply of food.
The city provides food, vegetables and meat, which is a win-win coexistence."
After Hans went south to Chongqing, he spent a lot of time wandering around in and outside the city. The places he visited most were the farms and newly built factories outside the city. Therefore, Hans did not doubt what Tangcheng was saying now. But Germany
Not Chongqing. If Germany loses the war, it will inevitably be sanctioned just like in World War I. By then, there will not only be a large number of unemployed people in Germany, but also a large number of occupying troops. The plan Tang Cheng said is not what he said.
Simple.
After not sleeping all night, Hans' reaction was a little slow, but he quickly came to his senses and quickly started thinking about the loopholes and deficiencies in Tangcheng's plan. Hans's expression of deep thinking made Tangcheng just look at it.
He wanted to laugh, so Tang Cheng did not say anything to disturb Hans, but quietly left the study and took his two sisters to play in the backyard. Hans sat alone in the study for almost an hour before slowly waking up.
Taste comes.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was the only one left in the study, but Tang Cheng had disappeared. "If you find it boring, how about we go out to the city to fish?" He saw Hans coming out of the study and sitting in the backyard.
In the pavilion, Tang Cheng, who was playing tumble rope with his two sisters, smiled and said to Hans, "It will take at least a few years before the plan is implemented. We still have a lot of time to perfect the plan.
"
Although Hans refused to admit it, he had to say that Tang Cheng liked to plan things in advance and almost never made any mistakes. After calming down, he showed reluctance on the surface, but he was still pulled by Tang Cheng outside the city.
Fishing to relax. People here in Tangcheng either go out to the city to fish and have fun all day long, or they hide at home and don't go out. They secretly pay attention to his position, which is a bit unhappy.
