"Gold?" Guderian and Giovanni looked at each other and frowned. As countries with a gold standard and vested interests in World War II, neither Germany nor Italy lacked gold. Among them, Germany was
After successive battles, almost half of Europe was conquered, and an astonishing amount of gold was plundered from the occupied European countries. However, they also knew the importance of gold as a hard currency for countries whose currencies adopt the gold standard.
Chen Shichang picked up the tea cup and sipped it slowly while looking at the two of them quietly. The junior officer wanted to take advantage of the three world wars to expand arms exports, but Chen Shichang did not agree very much with this. On the surface, the three world wars seemed
It seemed to be a war between the United Nations alliance formed by China, Germany, and France and the anti-United Nations alliance formed by Britain, the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union. But in fact, because the United States, Britain, and Japan had raised the flag of **, he firmly believed that this
In the end, this war will definitely evolve into a racial war - that is, a war between the yellow race led by China and the white race led by the United States, Britain or Germany. Chen Shichang's judgment is well-founded. Why did World War II happen?
Will it happen? Admittedly, one reason is that Britain and France used the Treaty of Versailles to exploit the Germans too harshly. But the fundamental reason is that Britain, France, and the United States hope to suppress Red Soviet Russia through Germany. To put it bluntly, the real initiator of World War II
In fact, it was not Germany, but Britain, France and the United States who were hiding behind Germany and wanted to destroy the survival conditions of Red Soviet Russia. However, the then British Prime Minister Chamberlain underestimated the ability of Mustache Hitler, and also miscalculated the Germans' influence on Britain and France.
Resentment. So, when Germany quickly grew into a terrifying giant under the stimulation of the war, the British and the French panicked, which directly led to the out-of-control World War II.
China was able to become the big winner in World War II, and Ouyang Yun's handheld computer was indispensable. Thanks to that small handheld computer, China was able to accurately identify the lifeline of the development of weapons and equipment from the beginning, and use a leap-forward method to directly
At the forefront of the world. However, technological leadership does not mean that China has complete advantages. The industrial foundation is too weak and the country’s education penetration rate is too low, which have limited China’s continued development in industrial and military technology.
Development. Therefore, what Chen Shichang has to worry about is that because European and American countries have a broad industrial base. Then, once these advanced weapons and equipment are no longer exclusively controlled by China, then these European and American countries will be able to use their strong industrial production capabilities to increase quantity in quantity.
Leave China far behind.
Between countries, there are only eternal interests but no permanent friends and enemies. Today, Germany, France and Italy can stand with China to fight against the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and Japan because of the need for survival, but who knows whether they will in the future
How about joining forces with the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and Japan to fight against China?
If such a situation really occurs and China loses its technological advantage in weapons and equipment, what will happen? Can China single-handedly challenge the entire white world? Not to mention that Chen Shichang does not have this confidence, and even Ouyang Yun does not dare to
Are you talking big words like this?
Of course, Chen Shichang can also understand Ouyang Yun's idea of exporting arms in exchange for gold reserves. After all, if a country's economy is to develop, it needs a sufficient amount of currency to maintain circulation. And once there are not enough gold reserves, a financial crisis may occur.
This leads to a crisis of trust in the government.
Giovanni and Guderian would never have thought that Chen Shichang, who offered to trade arms with gold, would actually want them to reject the proposal. The two thought for a while, and Giovanni, who was in power, first said: "No problem." Then.
He directly asked about the details of the transaction. At this time, he did not know that China's First Central Army had already gained control of Damietta in Egypt.
Guderian also wanted to agree immediately, but after thinking about it, he still said that he must report to the Military Committee of the Wehrmacht before he could give an answer.
Chen Shichang was disappointed by the two people's answers. Of course, he would not show it no matter what angle it was from.
"You don't have to worry about the transportation channel. Our country has already gained control of Damietta in Egypt. Moreover, our country has a sufficient number of long-distance transport aircraft to ensure that the arms your country needs can be transported in time as scheduled," he said to Giovanni
After taking the reassurance, the negotiation came to an end. When sending the two people away, Giovanni made another request, hoping to obtain some Chinese military officers to help him train his troops.
Chen Shichang thought about it and thought it was not a problem, so he generously agreed.
After watching the two people leave, Chen Shichang held his hand on the railing of the flight deck of the aircraft carrier "Wudaotianwang" and frowned in thought.
"You should be happy that you have made a big deal. Why are you looking so sad?" Bian Jingdao came over and handed him a bottle of Coke.
"Do you think we will always be friends with the Germans and Italians?" Chen Shichang took a sip of the Coke and said.
Bian Jingdao was known for his lack of political acumen when he served as Ouyang Yun's guard. Although he has made some progress in political issues due to his position, such profound issues are obviously beyond his ability. "We are soldiers, thinking about how to fight.
Just win the battle. Why think about it so much?" He said with a disapproving expression.
Chen Shichang smiled bitterly and said, "I know we don't have much in common with you. By the way, do you have any news about Fu Xinqiang and the others?"
Fu Xinqiang was ordered to take three destroyers and several submarines to escort three large transport ships to Damietta to receive supplies. They set out in the morning, and counting, they should have reached the Mediterranean Sea around Malta by this time.
Although the British blockade had turned the Mediterranean into the back garden of the aircraft carrier fleet, Chen Shichang was still worried that accidents would happen because the British still had many troops stationed in North Africa.
"They arrived in Malta and everything went well."
"How much ammunition is left in the inventory? How many days can it last?"
"There are still five bases. It will not be a problem to maintain it for three to five days. By the way, according to the response of the attacking aviation force, the British used a new type of anti-aircraft artillery today. Three of the five Chinese Sturgeons we lost were shot down by this artillery.
of."
"Five aircraft were lost today?" Chen Shichang frowned.
Bian Jingdao smiled bitterly and said: "I thought you would say that only five were lost. The British dispatched hundreds of fighter planes to intercept, and the ground air defense forces fought very fiercely. I think it was a fluke that only five were lost. I just said
After discussing with the brothers in the staff department, we believe that the ammunition should be replaced. We agreed that the use of cluster bombs can ensure the strength of the attack on ground air defense forces. In fact, the best way is to carry out nuclear bombing. In that case, I think the British will
