Although the Germans are not used to Yang Zhen's practice of talking about things at the wine table, at least they will not be confused before they can figure out the opponent's purpose. Conceptually, they are also easier to get in touch with than other Chinese people.
, for this guy Yang Zhen, the Germans can be said to love and hate him. Even the Germans themselves can't figure out whether they love him more or hate him more.
Although the price paid for this trip was higher and the diplomatic level established was lower, this trip after all established diplomatic relations with the second socialist country after the Soviet Union, and the new Chinese government, under Yang Zhen's instigation
, also agreed to regard the West German mark as the main foreign exchange reserve after the ruble and the US dollar, and ranked the number of reserves above the French franc and British pound.
Although the amount of the loan is a bit larger, it is not something that the West German economy, which had already recovered to its pre-war state, could not bear. Moreover, for many projects, the Chinese government also paid in cash. The most fundamental thing is that through this negotiation, West Germany
The Germans have successfully opened up the market of China, the country with the largest population and the fastest economic development in the world.
The West German government believes that although the purpose of this negotiation has not been fully achieved and the price paid is far higher than expected, the gains obtained are not small. After all, the market with a population of 670 million is, for any country,
They are all very tempting, so even though they hate Yang Zhen and gnash their teeth, the Germans acquiesce to these so-called package agreements.
After this negotiation, although the diplomatic relations between China and West Germany were only average, they established close economic ties. West Germany also surpassed France at the time and became China's main source of access to Western advanced technology and industrial equipment.
Source channels: Many universities in West Germany that have promised to provide scholarships have also surpassed France to become the main destination for Chinese students sent abroad.
Even a few years after the negotiations were completed, the Germans took the initiative to transfer the Spey engine technology obtained from the British, as well as the British advanced gas turbine production technology and a complete set of drawings. Of course, these things still required the Chinese to pay 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange.
.
This incident also caused another very serious consequence, which is the reputation of Yang Zhen, the chief negotiator with Germany, in the West, especially in European countries. It can be described as infamous. The heavy losses of the Germans left a lasting impression on them.
It can simply be described as unforgettable.
In their economic and diplomatic negotiations with China, these countries tried their best to avoid using Yang Zhen as their negotiating opponent. They even publicly named Yang Zhen, a gangster and villain in the eyes of the Germans, and did not want him to participate. When receiving Yang Zhen as a representative of China,
When visiting, I was also wary of him in every possible way.
Of course, these things all happened after the founding of New China in 1949. Yang Zhen was not able to think of it at this time. Now he just wants to use German equipment to make up for the lack of his own military production capacity, and use German prisoners of war to change the anti-alliance forces.
Yang Zhen, who has a shortage of technical maintenance and support personnel, does not have such a high ability to foresee these things.
For Yang Zhen, these materials and equipment only alleviated the urgent need and were not a long-term plan. At present, Yang Zhen was focusing more on the Soviets. His thoughts and ideas were not just in the past few years of the Anti-Japanese War. Emergency was classified as emergency, but his thoughts were also
Don't just limit yourself to the present.
He wanted to alleviate the urgent situation by introducing a batch of excellent artillery, form the Chinese's own advanced artillery production capacity, and introduce a batch of artillery with excellent performance, instead of just imitating a few backward small mountain field guns. An extremely preliminary stage.
Because he knows very well that as a big country and a poor country, China cannot rely solely on importing and purchasing military equipment. It must establish its own complete industrial system. Even if this industrial system is slightly backward, it must be able to Completely meet your own needs.
He absolutely does not want the current Anti-Japanese Alliance and the new China established in the next few years to follow the old path of the National Government relying on buying. He does not want to see China's industry, especially the military industry, start to take off in the near future. You have to pay a heavy price for the history you know, and within a few decades you can only imitate other people's products that have fallen behind.
The ZLS Type III cannon doesn't matter. With the improvement of the performance of tanks and armored vehicles, this type of artillery actually fell out of date at the end of World War II. As fire support, its power cannot meet the needs. Most of the time, it switches back to its original line of work. , used as a team-affiliated direct-aiming artillery.
However, the M30, a one-two-two howitzer with excellent performance, has a very long service life. Until more than 20 years later, except for the weight, the technical indicators have not significantly fallen behind. Even in the 21st century, there are still many The main artillery of small or poor countries.
Therefore, for Yang Zhen, the M30 howitzer, as well as the subsequent D1 152 howitzer and D44 85mm cannon, are the equipment that he must obtain. This is related to the entire China in the next two years. The development of army equipment within ten years is not just for the immediate relief of urgent needs.
Just looking at Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun in front of him, Yang Zhen shook his head. He could only bury these things deep in his heart, even if he couldn't even talk to the two closest assistants in his career. If you can't understand and support yourself, who else in this world can understand you.
Li Yanping knew that his unprincipled trust in himself had become a habit. He might not understand what he was doing, but he would support it. As for Guo Bingxun, although he might not finally figure it out, he wouldn't either. He will not implement his own suggestions, but Yang Zhen doesn't want there to be any estrangement in Guo Bingxun's heart because of this matter.
Yang Zhen, who barely managed to get through the work of the two partners, had just breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could swallow the water he just drank, the next thing Li Yanping said almost made him spit out on the spot. After hearing what Li Yanping said as a joke in order to ease his mood, he put down the cup in his hand. No matter how much he respected these intellectuals, Yang Zhen couldn't help but say "Tianqin".
It's just that this matter cannot be solved by Yang Zhen getting angry. Facing the initiator of this incident, Yang Zhen cannot get angry. However, this matter seems very difficult. If it is not dealt with, it will have certain consequences. , processing is simply unrealistic.
In fact, this matter is not too complicated. It's just that the initiators of the incident are a little difficult to deal with. If they are ignored, there is actually no problem. However, Yang Zhen is a little worried. If he really ignores it, he may hurt some people who came to the base. The heart of an intellectual.
After all, the reputation of these two people in domestic academic circles, especially in the Southwest Associated University, is still quite high. If they are not handled properly, they may end up with a reputation of not paying attention to intellectuals, which will actually affect the Anti-Japanese Alliance. and even the central government’s reputation in the cultural world.
The whole thing happened like this. The two people came to the Northeast from Chongqing to treat their wives' lung disease. They were being treated in the base area at the time and served as consultants and chief designers of the Infrastructure Project Management Office of the Northeast People's Government. They were known as gentlemen in the beams and beauties in the woods. The two couples, who are prominent figures in the domestic construction industry, have approached the Political Department of the Military Region several times and strongly requested to meet with Yang Zhen or Li Yanping, the two top military and political officials of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
The Director of the Political Department of the Military Region who was responsible for the reception really couldn't deal with these two people. In view of the great influence of these two people in the domestic academic world, Li Yanping, who was already very busy at the moment, had no choice but to do it. He took some time to receive these two people who were crazy and insisted on seeing him or Yang Zhen's couple at this critical moment.
There was no other way. The two contacted a group of intellectuals in the base area, especially those from the Southwest Associated University who were closely related to these two, and jointly put pressure on the Political Department of the Military Region. The two of them didn't care, but a large number of When intellectuals come together, they have to pay attention to it.
When they met these two people, the request they made almost made Li Yanping vomit blood. These two people, who are almost crazy about ancient buildings, reported from a newspaper in Harbin After learning from the battle report that the main battlefield of the Anti-Japanese Alliance in Western Manchuria was in the Bahrain Left and Right Banners and Linxi territory, I repeatedly requested to come to the Linxi battlefield.
As for the main reason why these two braved the flames of war to go to the battlefield in Western Manchuria, they wanted to personally see the ruins of the Liao Dynasty Shangjing in Bahrain Left Banner, as well as the Liao Zu Mausoleum in Bahrain Left Banner, and the Liao Zu Mausoleum in Bahrain Right Banner. Whether the Yongqing Mausoleum of the Liao Dynasty, as well as the royal palaces, lamaseries and various monasteries in the Mongolian alliance banners that are currently the main battlefield in Western Manchuria have been damaged?
In addition to requesting an on-the-spot inspection of the Linxi battlefield, the two men also repeatedly asked Li Yanping, the political commissar of the Anti-Japanese War who received them, that the troops fighting on the Ximan battlefield must pay attention to the protection of these ancient buildings and do their best during the battle. Avoid these ancient buildings if possible, and never let these ancient buildings be destroyed by the flames of war between the two armies.
Mr. Liang Sicheng was calmer, but his condition had improved greatly after treatment. Ms. Lin Huiyin, an architect and writer, was extremely resolute. When meeting with Li Yanping, she insisted on the Anti-League movement. During military operations, all ancient buildings in Western Manchuria, as well as the ruins of Shangjing in the Liao Dynasty and the tombs of the Liao Dynasty emperors, must be avoided.
With Li Yanping unable to give a reply at all, these two men followed Li Yanping almost wherever he went. Even when Li Yanping was negotiating with Soviet representatives, they followed behind them and waited outside the conference room. , even when going to the toilet, one has to guard outside.
If it weren't for Li Yanping's reasonable lover, and if someone else had such a talented beauty following him all day long, the family would have been in a state of chaos. However, even though the family was not in a state of chaos, the actions of these two people were... It also made Li Yanping's head as big as a bucket.
And Li Yanping ordered not to use violence against these two gentlemen. The entire security staff of the Anti-League Headquarters also had no choice but to do anything to these two helpless scholars. They could not beat them, scold them, let alone lock them up. , we can only let these two guys, who are more dedicated than Li Yanping's security guards, follow Li Yanping every step of the way, but there is nothing they can do. Even when Li Yanping came to Shuangcheng this time, he still tried his best to escape.
Just kidding, where is the front finger? It is the central nervous system of the entire army in this battle. It must be kept strictly confidential. Except for the anti-column level and above, as well as cadres engaged in special work such as security and intelligence, even the first division Very few cadres at the level know that the general headquarters of hundreds of thousands of troops is located in a large landlord's house outside Shuangcheng, a small county.
If these two men were allowed to follow, what secrets could the entire Anti-Japanese Alliance keep? In desperation, Li Yanping could only try his best to find excuses to get rid of these two men, but this problem must be solved, otherwise His work will be greatly affected. The tenacity of these two people, especially Ms. Lin Huiyin, really gives him a headache. It can even be described as avoiding snakes and scorpions.
