This time Chiang Kai-shek summoned An Yi to Nanchang to consult with An Yi on a series of aftermath and response plans after annihilating the Red Army in the Jiangxi and Fujian Soviet areas, and to prepare An Yi to coordinate with the ministries in southern Sichuan, western Hunan, and western Guizhou, and with the central government
The army cooperated with each other to avoid problems such as possible damage to the economic construction of western Hunan and southern Sichuan due to the harassment of the Red Army's mobile troops.
An Yi was worried in his heart whether Chiang Kai-shek would take this opportunity to get involved in his own southern Sichuan, but on the surface he was upright and said that he would strictly defend to the death, fully mobilize the troops in western Hunan, western Guizhou and southern Sichuan, and never let the Red Army enter the area under its jurisdiction.
Ensure the smooth operation of various industrial zones in western Hunan and southern Sichuan.
Chiang Kai-shek seemed very satisfied. Due to the urgent military situation on the front line, An Yi was not left to talk for long, so An Yi had ample time to convene personnel to discuss Yin Jinan's telegram and give detailed instructions.
When Yin Jinan received An Yi's reply, it was already the next morning. There is a seven-hour time difference between Berlin and China, so Yin Jinan knew that An Yi and his brothers must have worked all day and night for this reply.
When I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart.
After reading the reply, Yin Jinan made a decision in his heart and had a lot of expectations for meeting Hitler.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the motorcade sent by the Head of State arrived in front of the villa. Hitler's personal driver Erich Kamka and Chief Adjutant Wilhelm Brückner came to greet them personally, along with the Wehrmacht and the SS.
Yin Jinan was a little flattered by several officers.
Hitler had extremely strict requirements for the people around him. Both Kamka and Brückner were tall, blond and handsome. However, one of Brückner’s eyes was abnormal. Yin Jinan knew that Brückner had
Na was involved in a car accident in a remote corner near Wright, which left him with multiple fractures and the loss of an eye.
In the past few months, Hitler's image has frequently appeared on film screens, especially the recent news clippings of his participation in the Nuremberg Congress, which have flooded major theaters, and his personal driver and chief adjutant have also become famous figures.
Yin Jinan quickly greeted two of Hitler's close ministers in proficient German, and said hello to the officers of the Wehrmacht and SS, and then happily got into Hitler's car in the middle of the motorcade. Since Hitler had always maintained the image of being single, this time
This time Yin Jinan attended without his wife.
Half an hour later, the convoy drove into the Radziwer Palace where the Kaiser once lived. In 1878, Bismarck held the world-famous Berlin Conference here. It was also in this palace that Hitler was received by Hindenburg and
Appointed Chancellor of Germany, and until today he has become the head of state who is in charge of the party, government and military. Since the stormtroopers attacked this ancient building during the riot in June and set fire to some facilities, after the situation subsided, Hitler allocated funds to renovate it.
This ancient palace has been rejuvenated.
"Welcome, General. The head of state is currently in a meeting with the military generals. He is expected to meet the general in the study in half an hour." Us Schaub, the general manager of the head of state, stood in front of the steps and personally opened the car door for Yin Jinan.
The first impression Shaobu made on Yin Jinan was not very good. He had a pair of swollen eye blisters, and because he lost several toes due to freezing during World War I, he walked with a slight limp. But Yin Jinan did not dare
To neglect this old man, among the things Weitzer specifically called to warn him about were the detailed information of Us Schaub.
Schaub studied in a pharmacist school and worked in the Munich General Supply Bureau after the end of World War I. He joined the Nazi Party very early. When he limped to attend the Nazi Party rally, Hitler
Discovered him. He participated in the riots of 1923 and was imprisoned for it. He went to Landsberg Prison near the Lech River with Hitler. After being pardoned and released from prison in 2025, he became Hitler's
Long-term friend. He was so loyal to Hitler that he gave up smoking in order to please Hitler, but he did not quit drinking. Hitler knew that he liked drinking and did not ask for it. If someone told Hitler, Schaub was entertaining again
If he drank heavily at the meeting, Hitler would open his arms and sigh helplessly and say: "Yes, I know, this is very sad. But why are you joining in the fun? I don't have any other adjutants."
How could Yin Jinan dare to neglect such a figure who was highly regarded by Hitler? He quickly stepped forward to salute, and then followed Schaub into the palace hall.
At this time, many people had gathered in the hall. Seeing Yin Jinan arriving surrounded by Us Schaub and Brückner, they all asked their companions who this Oriental was? Why was he received such a grand reception?
Us Schaub waved his hand and signaled the waiter to bring the drink tray, and then said respectfully to Yin Jinan: "General, I will go and inform the head of state that please feel free to enjoy the drinks and food here. Mr. Wilhelm Brückner will
Let me introduce to you the guests attending today..."
Yin Jinan picked up a glass of orange juice from the fruit plate and said with a smile: "Mr. Shaobu is so polite. I won't lose myself in this magnificent palace!"
Yin Jinan's words caused a burst of laughter from Schaub and the people around him. After Schaub left, Brückner led Yin Jinan towards a nearby young man who was 1.5 meters tall and looked extremely thin.
Yin Jinan was shocked, and suddenly remembered that he had seen this person from a distance at a recent rally in Berlin. He was probably a senior figure in the Nazi Party. As expected, this thin young man with a deformed foot took the lead.
Greeting Yin Jinan confirmed his judgment: "Dear Yin, hello, I am Paul Joseph Goebbels of the National Socialist Party. Nice to meet you."
It turns out that this person is Goebbels, the propaganda minister of the Nazi Party. Yin Jinan quickly saluted: "Mr. Goebbels's name is well known among you. He holds the propaganda mouthpiece of your party and serves as the country's minister of propaganda and education. Under the leadership of the head of state,
He holds a very important position in my mind, and I am deeply honored to be able to get to know you, sir!"
Goebbels's black eyes revealed a gleam of interest. Because he had been engaged in political activities such as speeches and rallies all year round, the disabled Goebbels did not have the inferiority complex and cowardice of ordinary disabled people. Instead, he only had sharp wisdom and self-confidence:
"The generals are not simple. I know that the generals are one of the few figures among the largest local forces in China. They are in charge of the fate of nearly 60 million people, which is equivalent to the population of our country. This time the head of state summons the generals, we must be sure that in the future
There are bright prospects for cooperation.”
Yin Jinan smiled faintly. Germans do not have the habit of modesty. The stronger they are, the more respected they are. So he did not defend himself, but politely asked another middle-aged man who was leaning over: "This gentleman is..."
The visitor was tall and had a thin and long chin. After approaching Yin Jinan, he took the initiative to perform Eastern etiquette, held his hand and said:
"I am Hanf Stangl, the press secretary of the Führer. I have read the German translations of "Model Camp" and "Steel Army" and know that the general is one of the founders of the Anjia Army and the main decision-maker in the southwest.
Have a high say in China’s affairs.”
Seeing Hanf Stangl again in person, one of the people closest to Hitler, Yin Jinan no longer had the initial excitement. He smiled and squeezed Hanf Stangl's hand and said something.
After saying compliments, under the guidance of Wilhelm Brückner, he walked towards the next person who was standing with a smile.
Just like this, Yin Jinan got to know Hans Baur, the driver of Hitler's private plane, Schreck, another driver, Widmann from the Führer's adjutant group, Connie Gescher, the captain of the Führer's escort, and Yuan
The housekeeper of the capital, Artur Kaneenberg, his wife Freda, and the mysterious Ms. Eva Braun. Yin Jinan speculated that this girl with blond hair and blue eyes, who was extremely beautiful, was probably Hitler's secret lover.
, but he didn't show it on his face. He still acted courteous and courteous, which greatly increased people's goodwill.
After introducing the people around the head of state, Brückner took Yin Jinan into a luxurious small hall next to him. After entering the classical and elegant porch, Yin Jinan was surprised to find that the small hall was full of people. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes.
A group of five people sat together, chatting quietly. Brückner clapped his hands, and after everyone calmed down, he solemnly introduced Yin Jinan. When these people heard that Yin Jinan was from southern Sichuan, which is currently a hot spot for investment in the world,
When they were number two, they all showed their eagerness.
Brückner then brought Yin Jinan to everyone and introduced them one by one. Only then did Yin Jinan realize that in this small hall were gathered important business figures in the German economic world, including the President of the German Central Bank and Minister of Economic Affairs Hegarmar Saar.
Hitt, the steel kings Krupp and his son, the electronics oligarch Siemens, and industrial giants such as Disson, Bosch, Holman and Hogler.
Although he was wondering why these monopoly capitalists who were supposed to appear at the noon luncheon showed up at the Heads of State so early, Yin Jinan, who had received snacks from An Yi beforehand and knew what to expect, still acted very calmly and saluted everyone with a smile. He knew
The purpose of these people is nothing more than to occupy a place in the large-scale development of southern Sichuan so that their products can open up the Chinese market.
Especially the Krupp family. After the defeat of World War I, the factory that was the backbone of the German military industry was demolished. Old Krupp was declared a war criminal. The Weimar Republic was established. The workers revolted and occupied Essen. The French occupied the Ruhr area.
All of this once put the Krupp family into a desperate situation. Fortunately, they finally managed to survive the hardships. In recent years, thanks to the good cooperation with Anyi Group, the Krupps and their sons established a new company and established
A new factory and a new coal mine were purchased, and the products produced were mainly sold to the Soviet Union and China. At the request of the German General Staff, the Krupp family also secretly participated in Germany's rearmament, quietly manufacturing the first batch of armored vehicles in 2026
, resumed the production of cannons two years later. However, under the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles, all of this was carried out secretly. Although Hitler announced Germany's permanent withdrawal from the League of Nations last year, he did not dare to touch Britain, France, and the United States on sensitive armament and military issues.
Because of the country's fragile nerves, Krupp could still only develop new weapons quietly.
In the late 1920s, thanks to the matchmaking of the German Lulin Company, Krupp and the Anyi Group unexpectedly cooperated. Many of the latest weapons developed by the Krupp Group were tested in practice in the Chinese Civil War and the war against Japan. At the same time,
The new weapons developed by Southern Sichuan were also promptly fed back to Germany for further digestion and in-depth study. Therefore, the cooperation between the two major groups is far closer than others imagined. Many talents who studied abroad in Anyi Group directly entered Krupp
Various factories and research laboratories for practice and improvement.
Alfred Krupp gave Yin Jinan a warm hug: "Dear Yin, you haven't come to visit Krupp since you arrived in Germany. Have you forgotten our friend?"
Yin Jinan quickly said modestly: "How could it be? During the time I arrived in Germany, I was busy passing the language barrier, and then indulged in military and tactical research. On weekdays, the people who walked around were all generals and seniors in the army, even those we dispatched
The overseas students didn’t even have time to meet me, let alone talk about other things. But I think that with this meeting, I will move around frequently in the future, and I’m worried that if I come too often, you will get bored of me!”
The Krupp father and son looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
As a steel and military industry trust, the tungsten ore that Krupp needs most is mainly purchased from China through Lulin Foreign Co., Ltd., and 90% of China's tungsten ore exports are controlled by the Anyi Group. Even if this time
Yi intends to gradually take action in the tungsten ore industry in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places. An important premise is that the mined tungsten ore can only be sold to Anyi Group. Therefore, in order to ensure the special steel production of Krupp Group, and Anyi Group
Cooperation becomes very necessary.
Tungsten is a rare high-melting point metal with very low vapor pressure and low evaporation rate. Its chemical properties are extremely stable. It does not react with air and water at room temperature. When not heated, it can react with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and hydrofluoric acid of any concentration.
Water has no effect on tungsten. It is an important raw material for high-quality steel and hard steel. Firearms, metal cutting blades, drill bits, super-hard molds, wire drawing dies, etc. are all inseparable from tungsten steel. China in the 1920s and 1930s
, is the largest exporter of tungsten ore in the world, but An Yi controls this important strategic resource. It is no wonder that the czar of the German industry has also put down his arrogant attitude.
Yin Jinan was having a friendly conversation with the Krupps. At this time, a lively and cute little girl with brown hair and eyes ran in from the small hall, holding a large plate filled with fruits and cakes.
He was too hasty and bumped into Yin Jinan's body. The porcelain plate was smashed to pieces, and the fruit and cake were scattered on the floor. What was especially bad was that the cream on the cake stained Yin Jinan's pants.
A middle-aged man stood up from the sofa in a panic, walked quickly to the Krupps and Yin Jinan, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, my little girl has caused trouble to everyone. I'm really sorry..." After saying this, he picked up the collar of the little girl's suit from the ground and stretched out his hand to teach the frightened little guy.
Obviously, he wanted to use his own punishment to calm down Yin Jinan and the Krupps. You must know that the anger from the Industrial Czar is not something ordinary people can bear, and there is also Yin Jinan who can bring a turnaround to his career.
Yin Jinan quickly grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist: "It doesn't matter, I will go to the bathroom later and wash it with water. The child is still young and may be frightened. Please comfort him..."
The middle-aged man took the opportunity to step down, hugged the little girl and said, "Hepburn, why don't you apologize to your uncle quickly..."
