At the same time, Germany also wants to purchase a large amount of rare earths and other rare raw materials not included in the early war preparation plan from China, as well as finished special alloy steel and other special materials. According to its rough estimate, the total value is as high as 500 million U.S. dollars (pricing power
In our hands, naturally it will not be much cheaper, but even if the resources themselves are not money, only labor, energy and other production costs are counted, the total is close to 100 million US dollars.) More than
Now the German negotiators are in a bit of a dilemma. You must know that Hu Weidong is not a guy who is willing to suffer losses! Besides, China is a poor country (unexplained per capita), how could it sacrifice itself to support the wealthy Germany? Therefore, the credit
Don't even think about it
The Red Party really wants to buy more German equipment, but for Mustache, who cannot give up his expansion ambitions, selling machinery and equipment worth 3 billion US dollars is the limit he can accept. Any more will inevitably have a serious impact.
Germany's war preparations and even war potential may even lead to the situation that when the pressure to repay loans reappears at the end of 1940, Germany's military strength will not even be as good as that of Britain and France. Although long-term interests are important, we cannot ignore immediate needs! . .
To this end, Hu Weidong proposed to order 300 Stuka dive bombers and a production license for 500 from Germany (actually a technology transfer), and asked Germany to provide the full set of production equipment needed and send experts to help China build an all-metal aircraft manufacturing plant in Shanghai.
, priced at US$50 million. Although Germany attaches great importance to this model, it is not interested in several German manufacturers.
For the enemy, the performance of the Stuka is not enough to allow it to be specially copied. As an aircraft that can only function when one's own side has air superiority, the Stuka's technical parameters do not need to be kept secret. In addition, the Chinese side
There is no requirement that it must be the latest model, which is convenient for the German Air Force to upgrade, so the German side quickly agreed to the deal.
The reason why Hu Weidong wanted to purchase a Stuka dive bomber was mainly because of its solid structure, high bomb delivery accuracy, and large bomb load, which posed a great threat to warships. With this weapon, Shanghai would no longer be afraid of the Japanese fleet.
As for its short legs, replacing it with an engine produced in the liberated areas can increase the range to more than 800 kilometers, which is basically enough for a coastal defense bomber. Besides, it is not impossible to change it in the process of copycatting.
Furthermore, the Stuka dive bomber cannot do without fighter escort. This special battlefield in Shanghai has also been well avoided, because the existing airports in Nanjing and Shanghai alone are enough to support hundreds of aircraft.
When a large number of field operations and even regular airports in suburban counties of Shanghai and southern Jiangsu were built one after another, the total number became even larger. However, the Japanese could only rely on the limited number of aircraft carriers to carry air superiority. Which party would get the air supremacy? This was completely meaningless.
Questionable matter.
In addition to immediate needs, Hu Weidong also hopes to improve the structural science level of his own aircraft designers, including Sukhoi, by introducing Stuka dive bombers. It should be noted that the Stuka dive bomber was the only one in history during World War II.
An aircraft that can dive bomb at a completely vertical angle and recover safely has a strong body structure. It can be imagined that if the principles and know-how can be understood, not only bombers, but also the design of fighter jets will be of great benefit.
.
As for Hu Weidong, he did not specifically ask for the latest model. On the one hand, it is because there is an urgent need for ready-made aircraft, and the production of Germany's latest Stuka bombers is still very limited. On the other hand, as long as there is air superiority, the Stuka dive bomber itself
The sex performance is a little better
It is not important at all. Even if the initial model can only carry one 250kg aerial bomb and is insufficiently powerful, as long as there are enough, it is enough to destroy heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers. Moreover, Germany did not produce many of the earliest models, and most of them were still used.
were wasted in the Spanish Civil War
In addition, Hu Weidong also proposed to purchase 500 of the latest BF109 fighter jets from Germany, without requiring the transfer of technology or production lines. The price was US$30 million. The Germans immediately agreed without thinking. In fact, Hu Weidong was not interested in the history of this extremely short-legged fighter.
Mingji was not a fan of Mingji, but because he was worried about the poor cooperation between the i16 fighter and the Stuka, he decided to buy some as a transition. In addition, it is also a reasonable reason to let Chinese pilots experience the operation of an all-metal fighter first.
.
US$80 million was actually a large order, but it was still not enough to satisfy the Germans' appetite. At this time, Hu Weidong, who had fully felt the sincerity of the German government, made a very tempting proposal.
Although Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, the world's seventh largest industrial country, under the appeasement policy of the United States, Britain and France (before the German army occupied the Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia was still a country. Later, the Czech Republic was directly annexed by Germany, while Slovakia separated and became a slave state of Germany.
), but the Czech nation has had a strong sense of resistance to Germany since ancient times (a bit like the relationship between Vietnam and China). Therefore, after Germany entered the Czech Republic, it was frequently attacked by local resistance forces, and the passive sabotage of Czech workers even
Destroying production is even more
This gave Mustache, who was eager to digest the Czech industry, a headache. With his character, he wanted to arrest all these people and throw them into concentration camps. But the problem is that Germany has not yet launched the European War, so after all, he still has to worry about some international affairs.
Image cannot be made without evidence
Arresting people at will and fabricating evidence is a way, but it requires planning and arrangement, and consumes time and energy. For those important people, it is worth doing so, but for the tens of thousands of Czech people who are secretly resisting, if Mustache does the same

fu is afraid that it will go bankrupt
Hu Weidong, on the other hand, has long been coveting the world-class team of workers in the Czech Republic, especially now that China is purchasing large quantities of machinery and equipment from the United States, and on the other hand, it is cooperating deeply with Germany and has also obtained an astonishing amount of these machinery and equipment.
All require skilled workers to operate, and even though rapid technical education for Japanese prisoners of war has begun to be generally carried out, domestic work in this area continues to be in-depth with the continuous expansion of the liberated areas, and it is still far from filling this huge gap.
There was a gap. Therefore, Hu Weidong challenged Germany to
Fu suggested that all those suspected of having problems could be sent to China. In this way, the German government would not only eliminate hidden dangers in the occupied areas, but also obtain certain feedback from the government in the liberated areas. (To be continued.)
