Chapter 181 The trip to the award

And Zhang Xuewu's order undoubtedly made De [***] Fang very interested, especially the tank shooting code-named Honor Type 2, which made De [***] Fang feel like a star! Excellent protection ability, strong mobility, and fierce firepower! Like a little leopard, Zhang Xuewu's order for 100 aircraft saved the Bavarian aircraft manufacturing factory. Although the two sides are in the final competition around the price, in fact, many people can see very clearly that the Chinese will be the final winner, because the Bavarian aircraft is extremely risky. It is difficult to find the next buyer for large multi-purpose aircraft.

Is the procurement of a general under the Central Army of China's political axe ten times more than that of his political axe? This is difficult to understand in the eyes of the Germans. It took a lot of effort to understand the relationship between Zhang Xuewu and Zhang Xueliang, and smoothed its position in Nanjing Central Political Axe. Then they understood that even the Central Army of China's Nanjing Political Axe, as long as you have money, you can buy the weapons you need, so Germany The National Government Axe National Defense Army paid special attention to this, which led to Seckert's award to China.

Buzz! Buzzing! The sad alarm sounded on the main outer defense of Chaoyang South of Hu Zhenglong's Fourth Division Tenth Brigade. Zhang Xuewu opened his pocket watch and put it aside. George Fotelle and Sekert each had an artillery mirror to observe the left and right positions. Thirty seconds later, a large group of legions swarmed in, and Sun Guiming of the 10th Brigade roared loudly. He said, "What's wrong with ordering the 20th Regiment to enter the position, and the 21st Regiment's response to the flank of the 11th Brigade? What about the staff officer?

In the mirror of the artillery team, the heavily armed Chinese soldiers began to quickly enter the positions and fortifications in some panic. During this period, officers and non-commissioned officers played a vital role. When Sun Guiming found the commander of the legion Zhang Xuewu and a large group of German advisers, he immediately understood everything, so he immediately entered the role and used electricity. Immediately contact the artillery regiment directly under the division in the rear, and transfer the heavy mortar battalion and the Yeshan artillery battalion directly under the brigade from the second line to the third line.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Xuewu picked up the golden shell pocket watch on the side and said, "Don't humiliate the four words on this watch. Your troops have performed very well. You can still enter the position in 15 minutes during the meal. The mixed assault limit of Junbutan is at least 30 minutes, which is good. ! Even under the enemy's artillery fire, you can enter the position unprepared within 20 minutes to guard against arrogance and impatience! Strive for greater honor!"

This is the first time that Sun Guiming has talked to the commander Zhang Xuewu face to face at such a distance. It is inevitable that he is a little excited. In addition, the commander of the Legion actually gave him a pocket watch with a gold shell. On the spot, Sun Guiming didn't even dare to look at it. He took it with his respectful hands and stood aside and watched Zhang Xuewu talk to a group of Germans. Sun Guiming was a little scared by the German's advice during the conversation, and he was very afraid that the Germans were picking up trouble for himself.

Finally, Zhang Xuewu said to Sun Guiming, "Tell you, master, let him do whatever he should do. You don't have to come to serve me. I don't need him to serve me. The German consultant said that your fortifications have been well built, and the army's response is okay, but the defense system of the fortifications still needs to be strengthened and improved, especially There are obvious weaknesses in the position of the right wing!"

Sun Guiming glanced at the right wing and quietly approached Zhang Xuewu: "Commander, that is the defensive connection between our department and the 11th Brigade. There are dense minefields and hidden fire points. It is a fire trap, which is deliberately exposed to me. In addition, the anti-tank trench. There are also certain mines buried in it. I dared to come here to guarantee that they would have a surprise!"

Zhang Xuewu nodded and looked at the long defense line and said, "The strength of such a division's defense line is really tight. It will be much better when the permanent fortifications of the whole defense line are completed!" No more than three years at most!"

After Zhang Xuewu left with George Fotaire and Seckert, Sun Guiming wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with lingering palpitations: "Thanks to today, I came in like a ghost and didn't curse. My God! Can you still live after scolding the commander?

The officers beside him gathered around with a smile, scrambled to see Sun Guiming's gold watch. You should know that pocket watches and even watches are not rare, but gold watches are different, especially the gold watches given by the commander of the army himself, which are even more extraordinary!

Sun Guiming was not willing to let everyone touch it. He carefully opened his pocket watch. The golden words "loyalty to the country" on it brightened everyone's eyes. Unexpectedly, it was not the most common "loved sincerity" and not "successful benevolence"! And in those years, my mother-in-law's tattooed "loyalty to serve the country"!

Zhang Xuewu spent five days taking George Fottel and Seckert to take the two generals to inspect the two brigades of his five divisions. The most well-trained is the artillery brigade. I don't know the so-called mechanized brigade, and the worst one is the second brigade of Xu Guohui's division. Generally speaking, Zhang Xuewu is full. Yes, but for other lax, Zhang Xuewu also gave severe criticism and warning.

Zhang Xuewu prepared 17 pocket watches, and finally sent only three, because he would only send them if he was satisfied, so the three people wearing pocket watches are also particularly fashionable. The middle [***] people are different from the foreign army's habit of wearing medals. Besides, ordinary officers and soldiers have no medals to wear.

The medal is the representative of military honor. Sector is very strange that the [***] people collect the medal instead of wearing it, while Xu Guohui, Zhao Xinyu and others feel that if they wear all their medals and are handed over by the enemy, it is a real shame.

Zhang Xuewu naturally knows that this is a difference arising from the two different ideologies of the East and the West, each with its own reasons, but Zhang Xuewu came up with the idea of creating a number of honor medals, bronze, silver, gold and other tiger medals for the officers and soldiers to hang on the left chest, which seems to be a good idea? Moreover, for those who kill senior officers of the Japanese army in the battle, blow up and destroy enemy tanks and artillery, who are extremely brave in the battle and participate in the battle with injuries, it seems that they should also be given a certain decoration to prove their honor.

After Seckert personally wore the "Friendship Knight Medal" for Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Xuewu ordered Huang Tao to study a set of war injury brochures, heroism brochures, destruction brochures and killing brochures, which were used to reward officers and soldiers who were brave in combat and wear them on their chests to mark their honors.

Then, the dinner officially began. While many officers were eating and drinking, Zhang Xuewu, Seckert and George Fottel secretly came to Zhang Xuewu's simple bedroom. An accompanying German captain served as the minutes of the meeting. It can be said that five days of hard work were actually for this moment, officially face-to-face. The talks, and everything before was the smoke bomb of this meeting.

Sekter officially took out a memo and submitted it to Zhang Xuewu. Zhang Xuewu, with a serious expression, got up and took it with both hands. As a witness of history, Zhang Xuewu's mood was indescribably complicated at this moment. Zhang Xuewu carefully looked through the so-called contract of the German Ministry of Defense. !

This contract is similar to the unilateral hegemony clause of later generations. The so-called contract stipulates that Zhang Xuewu will hand over all the design materials and cases to the German side, and ensure that Germany has all the patent use rights and keeps them confidential. On the contrary, the German side will immediately start to design and produce the bank's tanks, and the first 30 tests The car inspection will be given to Zhang Xuewu free of charge, but Zhang Xuewu's Rehe Legion needs to purchase a total of 150 of this model and the German subsequent improvement models. The German side completed the handover of all the tanks before March 1935 and trained relevant armored soldiers and technical maintenance personnel for Zhang Xuewu.

Zhang Xuewu closed the contract and took a deep breath. It's really a little bullying! Obviously, it seems to have given him great benefits, but Zhang Xuewu is very clear that this is the Germans who let them pay for their experimenting with new equipment. Zhang Xuewu, who has never suffered losses, smiled and put down the contract and said, "If this design is in the hands of Soviet Russia, I don't know if it can be exchanged for 200 free chariots?"

George Fottel's face changed and said, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Sekter took a look at George Fotzell beside him, and then said, "If General Zhang wanted to hand it over to the Soviet side, I'm afraid it would have been handed over to them long ago. You know, Chairman Jiang actually did not like Soviet Russia, but he did not resume diplomacy because of the pressure from the Japanese empire. He hoped that he could use Soviet Russia to contain it. Man, am I right? General Zhang!"

Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "Sir, you are very right, but I must say that we are in business. Where can we get the goods that you want money and don't want to give? Sincerity! Both of us must show our sincerity. You should know that it took me a few days to draw this design. It's very hard!"

These two drawings drawn by General Zhang himself? George Fotzer and Seckert looked at Zhang Xuewu with incredible eyes. Zhang Xuewu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I have liked machinery and ordnance since I was a child. In this battle of Rehe, our army's Renault and Italy's thin-skinned junks are not opponents of Japanese tanks at all, and what is the tank? The ancient battlefield was a heavy cavalry, which was used for charging into battle. What are the broken things I have now? Is there not enough firepower? Isn't the defense enough? Not to mention the speed, so I thought about drawing my imaginary tank, that is, the two-chapter drawings. I hope the German factory can make it for me to deal with the tanks of the Japanese army.

Sector frowned and said, "I really drew it myself. I can't say anything about the design. It's just the general appearance. The details need to be completed by professional designers and mechanization engineers!" I also have a lot of different sketches at my home in Yanjing, such as airplanes, submarines, warships, etc., which are a hobby!"

Seck nodded and said, "So how did General Zhang draw the front of the tank as a slope? I'm very curious about this!"
