"Yes! We have everything you want, and we can satisfy you whatever you want. Count Chink!"
"Okay, then tell me, what do you need? You should know that now that the war is going on, we no longer have the ability to pay in full!"
"Our friendship didn't happen in a day." Deng Yong stood up, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to Count Chinke: "I have been here since the outbreak of the war, no matter what kind of
No matter what happens, it can't affect our friendship. What happened to Germany?
Please believe me, count, I will always be your friend."
Count Chink took a reserved sip of his wine, and always maintained the German rigor in his speech: "Okay, now please tell me, what do we need to pay?"
"God." Having been in Europe for a long time, Deng Yong also brought some European habits when he spoke: "Why can't you believe that I am your most sincere friend? I am helping you sincerely."
Count Chinke put down his wine glass, still looking serious: "From the first day we dealt with you, you never regarded us as friends. You just regarded Germany as a business partner, even to some extent.
You are making more money than anyone else in Germany. We need to pay double the price to get the supplies we urgently need."
"God, I really don't know how you view me this way. I always thought we were best friends." Deng Yong looked aggrieved: "Yes, I admit that the things I sold you were indeed a bit more expensive.
But there is no way. You have to know that the whole world is blocking you, and I am the only one who takes the risk to send you batches of supplies."
As he spoke, Deng Yong suddenly said: "Well, since you must say that, then I should honestly make my request. After all, I am risking my life to do business with you."
Count Chinke was not surprised at all by Deng Yong's attitude.
The [Chinese] man in front of him is a pure businessman. He doesn't care at all who is just, the Allies or the Entente. In his eyes, money comes first.
Since coming to Europe, he has been making huge profits crazily from Britain, France and Germany. Those urgently needed war supplies can be obtained from him as long as you have money.
This man valued money more than anything else. So when he said those words of "deep love and justice", Count Chinke didn't believe it at all.
Deng Yong took out a thick stack of documents from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Count Chinke: "Count, I will arrange for you what you need, and this is my request."
The earl took the document without saying a word and looked at it without hesitation. However, as he looked further back, surprise appeared on his face. When he finally turned to the last page, the seriousness on his face finally disappeared.
Wu Xing: "Oh my God, are you crazy?"
Deng Yong looked at himself: "Earl, why do you think I'm crazy?"
"God." The earl's tone was full of disbelief: "You actually ask for so much from us? God, I really don't know what else you don't want for these things! No, you are really too greedy!"
Deng Yong shrugged: "What's there? What you need most now is the supplies to sustain your war. You need to continue to carry out the war. The American army is about to land in Europe, and you will face a powerful country again, and
Who else in the world besides me can provide you with supplies now? No, none!"
Deng Yong drank the wine: "What I asked for is nothing compared to the war. You have lost these and can continue to develop because you have such a foundation and continue to develop on the old basis. Originally, you are better than any other country."
It’s easier when you don’t know anything. What’s more, please forgive me for saying something presumptuous..."
Deng Yong paused and continued: "Suppose you win the war compared to what you lost, what does that mean? Suppose you lose the war, do you think you can still keep these? God, the British
And the French wouldn’t allow it.”
Count Chinke stared at this [Chinese] man without saying a word!
Deng Yong didn't care about this at all: "What I can promise you is that in addition to continuing to provide you with all the supplies you need, once you lose this war, when you regain your strength and develop, I will also give you the maximum
I can give you the most solemn guarantee on this, even if you lose the support of the whole world and receive the most severe sanctions in the world, at least you still have a friend."
Count Chinke's eyes narrowed: "You are not a businessman, do you represent your government?"
"God, my government has nothing to do with me, at least not now." Deng Yong smiled slightly: "I am only representing an individual now. You need the supplies I provide, and I need what I want.
Please believe me, Your Excellency, no matter what the outcome of the war is, I will always be your friend!"
The count's brows knitted together.
Deng Yong did not rush him, but sat there leisurely and waited patiently.
Count Marcus von Zink, a member of the Junker noble family, the special envoy of His Majesty the German Emperor, and an important member of the Marcus family who is highly respected both in the military and among the people.
Well, these identities are enough to negotiate with yourself.
Having been in Europe for so long and doing business with Germans for so long, Deng Yong knows Germany very well. This country is very different from China.
In [China], when the emperor is overthrown, the royal family members and the nobles will be ruthlessly eradicated by the new regime. But in Germany, even if the German emperor is overthrown, these nobles will still be respected infinitely.
You will still have a big say.
I don't care at all whether Germany will lose this war, all I care about is whether they can capture these nobles!
After the war, Germany was in great need of a friend who could help him. These words were spoken by Heng Shuai to himself when he left Germany.
What surprised Deng Yong was why Hengbao thought Germany would lose the war from the beginning.
But the progress of the war is exactly the same as Heng Bao’s judgment!
The count raised his head and said with difficulty: "This matter is too important. I can't make the decision alone. I have to go back and discuss it before I can give you an answer."
"No problem at all." Deng Yong said easily: "Your Excellency, I hope to hear your reply as soon as possible. There is not much time left for you."
As he said that, he looked at the time and picked up his coat: "Your Excellency, I can't accompany you anymore. There is a banquet waiting for me there..."
"Hua, my friend, you are late."
The new French Minister of Justice Du Jean greeted him warmly and gave Deng Yong a gentle hug: "I have stayed in [China] for so many years. I know that [China] has a habit. People who are late will be fined with alcohol.
.”
Deng Yong laughed: "I'm very sorry. I must apologize for being late. I am also willing to drink as a fine."
Du Rang smiled and asked someone to bring him a glass of wine: "Okay, let me introduce you to a hero in France."
Now Dujean has completely lost the gloomy face he had when France was at a disadvantage in the war. With the United States declaring war on Germany, the balance of the European war has begun to tilt.
Du Rang brought Deng Yong to a majestic officer and said with infinite respect: "Deng, please allow me to introduce to you the hero of all France, General Henri Philippe Pétain!"
Deng Yong was taken aback.
Henri-Philippe Pétain, on the eve of the outbreak of the European War, Pétain was only an army colonel and the commander of the 33rd Regiment. He was 58 years old. As the German army made good progress in the early stages of the Battle of Verdun, Auguste Di
General Bailly requested a retreat, and Pétain's troops were transferred to the front line of Verdun to take over the responsibility of holding on to the Verdun Fortress. After arriving, he found that although the situation was serious but not critical, he put forward the famous defensive slogan: "They will not
Will pass”!
After Pétain arrived at Verdun, he first inspected the entire defense system. The forward positions strewn with corpses made Pétain feel that the situation was extremely critical, and Verdun was in danger of being surrounded.
Pétain felt that the situation was not good, so he immediately drew a line of supervision on the front line and strictly ordered the soldiers to withstand the German attack. Anyone who dared to retreat beyond this line would be shot.
Immediately afterwards, Pétain held a front-line military meeting to study plans to ensure the rapid arrival of reinforcements and ammunition from the rear. At that time, except for the Bar-le-Duc-Verdun road leading to the southwest, all others had been cut off by German artillery.
Pétain immediately ordered an emergency repair team to be organized, with the help of civilians along the way, to pave and widen the road surface and ensure the safe passage of vehicles.
Two days later, 6,000 vehicles passed through this road, transporting 190,000 reinforcements and more than 20,000 tons of arms and supplies to the Verdun Fortress. Due to the outstanding performance of this road, it completed the transportation task of the Battle of Verdun, so it was called the French
"Holy Road".
The two sides fought back and forth, resulting in heavy casualties and a stalemate. The Germans only advanced seven or eight kilometers.
After the attack, the French army turned to counterattack and quickly recovered the lost forts. The German army retreated and withdrew from the Battle of Verdun.
Now, this "French hero" actually appeared in front of him. Deng Yong straightened his expression and said politely: "Hello, General Pétain."
"Hello." Pétain was also very polite: "I have heard that you are a [Chinese] person who has given us great help and provided us with a large amount of supplies. Please allow me to thank you on behalf of the French people.
"
Deng Yong smiled slightly: "For the sake of justice, all this is what I should do!".
