Chapter 182 Hirohito's determination

Seckert designed some of the previous armor of 50 degrees in advance, and Zhang Xuewu knew that Seket was not easy to fool and deal with!

So, Zhang Xuewu seemed to suddenly realize and said, "This! After the battle, I found that, for example, the arc of the turret, where the car body has a tilted surface, is not easy to be penetrated, and it is prone to slip or bouncing, just like the angle of the helmet bulletproof.

George Fotzell and Seckett looked at each other. Zhang Xuewu's words made the two old soldiers who had saluted the artillery fire in World War I feel the truth. Indeed, many things are often impossible to learn, so they can only go to the battlefield to learn how to survive, and Zhang Xuewu gave a sketch, such as how to match the five load wheels. The set of shock absorption, transmission system, etc. need to be developed and tested on the experimental body, but this design drawing with a strong Bavarian style is too shocking to the Germans.

Sechter pushed the file in front of him forward and said, "The empire really has no funds to squander now. General Zhang's order is a witness to Sino-German friendship and Germany's personal friendship with you. We can only guarantee the quality of supply to you. On behalf of the German political axe, I can say that we will train you every year. 300 officers and 500 technical non-commissioned officers, this is also our biggest concession, because Germany oppressed by the Treaty of Versailles is just like your motherland!"

Seckert even said that you have used it, and Zhang Xuewu naturally couldn't say anything else, so he nodded and said, "So what about the production line of Honor Type II?"

George Fotzer glanced at Sector and turned to Zhang Xuewu: "We will send technicians to guide the overall process and the forging of armor plates in your designated steel mill. As for the engine part, I suggest that you import it directly from us, because the power part is crucial for the current stage of industrial workers in China. In terms of technical level, it is difficult for them to undertake the manufacture of their precision equipment.

George Fotcher said that Zhang Xuewu naturally knew that Sino-German relations are entering the honeymoon period, and everything is naturally easy to say, but once Germany's expansion step forward, China, an old friend, will not enter Hitler's eyes again, because there is also a fleet of 2 million tons, which is extremely fascist. Compared with the Japanese Empire, Japanese is more able to contain the military power of the Soviet Union in the Far East. In contrast, Japanese is much more important than China, and I'm afraid these signs will be reflected at the end of 1935.

For Zhang Xuewu, 1934 and 1935 were the most harmonious honeymoon between China and Germany, which meant that all contracts about Germany must be completely completed at the end of 1935. If it is delayed to 1936, I am afraid that the completion of many contracts will be greatly hindered.

So Zhang Xuewu can't put all the eggs in one basket, such as the Soviet Union, because in history, before the outbreak of the Pacific War, he wanted to get British and American aid, so he dreamed of it. In history, Feng Yuxiang once sighed infinitely that when the Japanese plane with American aviation engines burned the United States. When China's gasoline dropped bombs made by American steel, the Soviet Union provided me with life-saving equipment and volunteer pilots at the critical moment of life and death to help us resist aggression. The Americans sold a large amount of rubber, oil, steel and aircraft engines to Japan, but sold drugs. China, in order to heal the damage caused by their bombs, Americans only have interests in their eyes, and they will only make the greatest use of China!

But Zhang Xuewu knows better that the assistance of the Soviets in history was far more generous than that of the Americans. At least they did not exchange hundreds of thousands of foreign blood of the Chinese expeditionary army for that meager assistance, but in cooperation with the Soviets, it was necessary to prevent the fire and the wolf from entering the house, because of greed. It is the essence of polar bears, which is a fact that no one can change.

Zhang Xuewu took a deep breath and smiled at George Fotcher and Sekter, "But the equipment, production lines, engineers, technical workers and equipment I need must be delivered by the end of 1935, and I have to send about 3,000 technical workers a year to Germany to study and work. The number of officers and non-commissioned officers should be doubled!"

After George Fotzell and Seckert looked at each other, it was obvious that Zhang Xuewu's requirements were in line with their previous bottom line, so the two stood up with a smile and shook hands with Zhang Xuewu one by one. Because Zhang Xuewu did not represent China's political axe, this cooperation could only leave a small number of unrelated records. In fact, all the contracts between the two sides were It is fulfilled by the established trust.

Although the cooperation between China's political axe and Germany is considered to be very confidential, in fact, all the people inside the political axe have long been betrayed to me. At the imperial meeting of the Japanese base camp in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito faced Nanjiro, Ryokari Takashi and others with a cold face, Ningji Okamura, Seishiro Itagaki, and Koiso Kuniaki. Others knelt on the periphery, but it was puzzling that Prime Minister Mi Saito, as a representative of the political axe, did not attend the regular imperial meeting.

Because of the failure of the Rehe Campaign, the army department resigned. If Nanjiro hadn't temporarily taken over as Lu Xiang to maintain this mess, I'm afraid there would have been another cabinet resignation. However, since Inu Yangyi met and stabbed, the voice of the political circles has been much weaker. Now it can be said that he is the head of the military. The energy has changed from dealing with the political axe to internal strife.

Prime Minister Mi Saito's failure to attend this crucial imperial meeting can be said to be a signal that the so-called military and political axe era came ahead of schedule because of the fiasco of the Kwantung Army.

It can be said that Zhang Xuewu did not expect this change at the beginning. He thought that Rehe's fiasco would restrain the military power, but the result was completely counterproductive. Rehe's defeat made the military completely crazy, and the people were also encouraging the cry of revenge. If Zhang Xue When Wu learned the words, he would definitely marvel at the shamelessness and shamelessness of the Japanese version. If he occupied the three provinces in the northeast, he still wanted to shout revenge? Are you going to give yourself a beating?

Obviously, the poor soldiers of the Rehe Legion made me feel deeply uneasy, because Zhang Xuewu is extremely aggressive and has always been very unfriendly to the empire, so Emperor Hirohito held the first regular meeting after the establishment of the base camp. How to deal with the threat of Rehe Zhang Xuewu has become The main task of the Kwantung Army at present, the defense of Manchukuo, has made the Kwantung Army work together and unite unprecedentedly!

The strategic task of the Kwantung Army has also changed from attack to defense, because Rehe's fiasco made me realize that their army is not much stronger than the [***] team. If the Chinese defend the city, I'm afraid that the Japanese army really has no effective means to defeat the enemy, so strengthen the army's weapons and equipment. The case was taken out again. In the past, the military money dispute between the army and the navy ended in the army's defeat, but this time it seemed to be an exception.

What makes the navy extremely angry is that the army repeatedly mentions its fiasco as an honor, as if the defeat was due to weapons and equipment? At this moment, the army deliberately ignored that their weapons and equipment were far stronger than the average level of the middle [***] team, and deliberately emphasized the firepower and moral strength of Zhang Xuewu's new first division.

Since the army is shameless, the navy can't do anything about it. Ryogari Takashi and Nanjiro submitted the arms orders purchased by the Rehe Legion in Germany [***] respectively. After seeing it, Emperor Hirohito also took a cold breath and said, "So many heavy artillery? Do you still want to buy planes and tanks? Are these the most advanced weapons in Germany? Why do Germans sell to Chinese? And these weapons are used for attack, that is to say, the Rehe Legion in China is fierce? Are you ready to attack our Manchuria at any time?

Ling Kaoru, the commander of the Kwantung Army at that time, said blankly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that China is indeed making such a plan. They have accepted the advice of the German [***] Advisory Group and are ready to reorganize the country's army into 60 divisions, all equipped with German weapons, which is for the economic recession crisis. Germany is very important, so as long as there is money, Germans are willing to sell everything now.

"Sixty editors? How will the firepower of these armies compare with that of the Imperial Division? In the face of Emperor Hirohito's inquiry, Nanjiro deliberately said with some alarmism: "The German army can be said to be a first-class army in the world. The middle [***] team from their training office is absolutely different from the previous local faction army, and the German weapons and equipment are above our army in the early days of our army. The founding of the army is to follow the example of Prussia. It is estimated that the two branch consolidation divisions will be able to pose a great threat to a Class A division of our army at that time. If the [***] team completes the moral consolidation plan of 60 divisions, I'm afraid that Manchuria will change hands again, and our army can only defend the front line of the Yalu River and retreat to North Korea.

"What?" Emperor Hirohito immediately stood up and paced back and forth: "Manchuria is the Manchuria of my empire. From the Russian War to the Battle of Rehe, the blood of our imperial soldiers has spread all over the land of Manchuria. How can the rich and vast land of Manchuria be comparable to the barren North Korea? The Empire must not lose Manchuria!"

Emperor Hirohito's attitude surprised everyone present. Emperor Hirohito pushed his glasses and took a deep breath: "From the broadcast of this year's budget, the two battleships under construction by the navy are temporarily suspended. The navy alone cannot defend Manchuria. If necessary, I can also use 150 million US dollars just borrowed from the United States to vigorously target the development of artillery, tanks and aviation. After three or four years of preparation, I want to completely defeat the moral engineers of the Chinese people and cut off their ambitions to touch Manchuria!"
