Among the three options, Ouyang Yun's favorite is actually the second one. However, France's exiled skilled workers and intellectuals had been collected two or three years ago, and Ambois still needs to rely on these people to build the Restoration Army. The backbone of France, so now it is mentioned again, but the effect is very little; War bonds, Angpos is very happy to issue them, but they have not yet been able to seize control of the French mainland, and their credit is extremely low, so even if the Chinese government helps A lot of work has been done, but the issuance of bonds is very unsatisfactory; paying debts with people and issuing bonds cannot work, so Ambois can only bite the bullet and spend time helping the Chinese government to collect basic equipment. Fortunately, France is restored The army's journey to regain the country was basically achieved by fighting all the way back to Europe. Naturally, they had to occupy the places they passed through. European countries, no matter how wealthy they were, had a certain industrial base. The machines and equipment in these occupied areas became became the first target of plunder by the French. Even after the end of the Third World War, the United Nations received complaints every day from European countries or business owners in these countries for a long time. They accused the French Zionist Army of passing through During this period, various basic equipment were looted and the local industrial base was severely damaged...
After the alliance between China, Germany and France, the position of the French Nationalist Army was right on the path that the Soviet Red Army must take to attack Germany, and the French Pétain government had abandoned the German-French alliance (the French Pétain government was originally Nazi Germany) The puppet regime that had been supported by the government) was moving closer to the United Kingdom and the United States, so the Germans turned to recognize the fighting France as the only legitimate government of France, and at the same time began to provide assistance to the Nationalist Army. Ambrosius was impressed, so he suggested that the Germans use the basic equipment to impress the Chinese and seek more help.
Very early on, the Chinese government made a request to the German government to purchase some precision machine tools. However, even when Falkenhausen secretly visited China for the first time to ask for military training, the Germans still did not make any request in this regard. Let’s face it, the reason why Germany’s military industry has always been at the forefront of the world is largely due to its design and manufacturing capabilities of precision machine tools. Hitler obviously knew this very well at the time, so no matter what conditions China offered, he was He refused to let go, and now, precisely because of his original persistence, Brauchitsch has been left with an excellent condition for forming a good relationship with the Chinese government.
The conditions proposed by the German Wehrmacht government were telegraphed back to China by Chen Shichang. Ouyang Yun had not yet expressed his response. Hou Debang and others who had heard the news from nowhere could not hold back. That night, Hou Debang took several capable men with him. Carrying a bunch of stinky dried tofu and two bottles of Laobaigan came to the door.
A common problem among scientists is that they lack a sense of life, and Hou Debang is no exception. In his opinion, the most delicious thing in the world is the stinky dried tofu produced in Chongqing.
It just so happened that Ouyang Yun also had a special liking for stinky dried tofu. Well, after eating a few pieces of stinky dried tofu and being burned by Lao Baigan, Hou Debang asked him to agree to the Germans' exchange conditions. He was really not good at all. Refuse, you know, this is the first time Hou Debang has bribed him since he dealt with Hou Debang, and Chi Guoguo's temptation is to satisfy his appetite. Of course, the most critical reason is Ouyang Yun's disapproval of the German machine tools. They have been salivating for a long time, so they can be regarded as having similar odors.
The plan changed. They stopped going to Genoa and turned to Gibraltar. When the news spread, the Germans were naturally overjoyed. Even the Chinese officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier fleet of the Wudantianwang were also beaming with joy and gearing up.
"It can be seen that the soldiers under your command are not afraid of war, and this is the basic quality necessary for a strong army." Standing on the island of the aircraft carrier Mu Dao Tianwang, looking at the Chinese ships one after another The boat cut through the wind and waves and drove forward. Falkenhausen spoke to Chen Shichang in authentic Chinese.
"I dare not say that we have a strong army, but in terms of fighting spirit, we are not weaker than the navy of any country." Compared with his brothers who seemed a bit too "energetic", Chen Shichang seemed relatively calm.
After a trip to the Atlantic Ocean, Chen Shichang was no longer afraid of any opponent. However, because this was basically a war about the distribution of power in Europe, Chen Shichang did not think that they had the obligation to participate in the war.
After spending so many days with Chen Shichang, he had gained a certain understanding of him. Falkenhausen loudly said: "General, the Germans have always been generous to their friends. Don't worry. For this assistance to your country, Germany will It will definitely be based on a generous return.”
"Please rest assured. Since we have agreed to participate in the war, we will definitely be able to ensure the security of your country's coastal areas."
While the two were making promises to each other, a communications officer came out and reported that an Italian who claimed to be the commander of the Italian Navy was asking for a meeting.
Chen Shichang glanced at Falkenhausen and asked his men: "Commander of the Italian Navy, where is he?"
"It was reported by Colonel Qiao Haisen, who asked for instructions."
"The current commander of the Italian navy is named Buckning, with the rank of lieutenant general. If my guess is correct, the Italians should also want to purchase weapons from your country." Falkenhausen said.
"Ask Qiao Haisen to let him come over. By the way, let me know when he arrives and I will greet him personally."
Falkenhausen frowned and said: "General, after all, our submarine force has limited combat capabilities. They cannot persist for too long. Will doing so delay the fighter plane?"
As early as a week ago, Dönitz sent all the remaining submarines to intercept the US Seventh Mixed Fleet. The Germans' original plan was to use the time difference to facilitate an "encounter" between the Chinese and US fleets. But now, with the A new agreement was reached between China and Germany, but the Germans did not want to needlessly sacrifice their few submarines.
Chen Shichang knew nothing about this, but with his character, once the Supreme Command issued a combat order, he would complete it meticulously, "It doesn't matter, we can hold talks while advancing. If General Bakning's purpose is just to hope It does not take long to purchase weapons and equipment from our country."
Since Chen Shichang said this, Falkenhausen naturally did not want to interfere too much. He knew very well that as an excellent commander, the most disgusting thing is for others to dictate his command.
Holding a white flag and watching ships from other countries passing by one after another, and still within the territorial waters of one's own country, is by no means a happy thing for the commander of the navy of this country, but it is also because of the personal experience of China. With the strength of the fleet, Buckning became more attentive to the tasks assigned by Giovanni.
