Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 350: Negotiation (5)

Blumberg is not an expert in economics, so he doesn't quite understand what commercial offers are, but one thing he knows is that before signing a formal agreement, any promise is just a bunch of empty talk. If it weren’t for the current head of state’s credibility, if Hitler was the head, it wouldn’t prove even if he signed the agreement.

Blumberg's attitude surprised Kong Xiangxi very much, as if the marshal of the empire was full of goodwill towards China. Kong Xiangxi did not get rid of it, but instead he was more careful, fearing that his words and deeds would affect the perception of the other party. Don’t be at such a critical moment, because some small details are not handled properly, which leads to the collapse of the overall negotiation. So Kong Xiangxi carefully flattered the German Marshal, as long as he kept the German's current attitude, he had already made a big contribution.

Due to time constraints, the two sides could only exchange their opinions, but for Kong Xiangxi, this was already a huge success. In the end, both the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and the two parties said goodbye, ending the first unofficial first in Germany and China. meet.

Regarding the concessions and benefits granted to Germany, the National Government is indeed sincere. Under the supplementary class of "experts on international issues", Jiang Zhong finally figured out the diplomatic situation facing the country at this time. His previous stupid actions were pushing away the most powerful friend.

Germany is no longer the weak country in his concept. The European countries are building a unified alliance under the strong armed deterrent of Germany. He originally expected that the Chinese government could choose a side station, control the country and profit from it.

I also want to use foreign powers to control foreign powers. Now there is no other power in Europe that can make the German Empire. Jiang Zhongzheng wants to play the old way of speculation.

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhongzheng can't be blamed. The news of the state government is originally blocked. The understanding of the international situation is always slower than that of other countries. The speed of Germany’s victory is somewhat incredible. The changes in the European situation are too great. Quickly, coupled with the strict German blockade of war news and intelligence, Jiang Zhongzheng's grasp of the international situation was still a few months ago, which was completely understandable at that time.

But now that we have learned about these new situations, and we will not remedy them immediately, it will really be unreasonable. At this time, China's war situation was at a time of sharp decline. The Japanese army screamed on all fronts. The defense of several major theaters of the national government was defeated. Countless refugees abandoned their homes and poured into the southwest provinces. The economy in the Kuomintang area quickly declined and prices skyrocketed. The currency value plummeted. , Is completely the scene of a desperate end.

Many people believe that the Japanese army will launch a continuous large-scale offensive, taking advantage of the trend to take all of China. More and more government officials secretly got in touch with the Nanjing pseudo-government, and there were a large number of government forces on the frontline who surrendered or changed flags, willing to be the aggressors of the aggressors, reversing the muzzle and looting and killing their compatriots.

At this time, a strong foreign friend came forward to support China's war of resistance, which was a huge incentive for the people's hearts and morale of the government. Jiang Zhongzheng regretted his short-sightedness, but he couldn't afford to buy drugs like regret.

Many people think that he is an extremely good-looking person, but he ignores that he is actually a flexible man. He behaves like a radical nationalist. In fact, most of this is disguised, maybe in his second half of his life. There have been changes in this area, but in this period of time, he is a pure egoist, as long as he can help him maintain his personal authority, he can bow his head to any force as long as he does not violate the power in his hands. Even if foreign armed personnel act rashly on China's territory, he will not say anything about it.

If it were not for the Japanese military department to be overwhelmed by a series of victories at the time, it was determined to overthrow Jiang Zhongzheng’s rule, which made the leader thoroughly understand the facts, which led to Jiang Zhongzheng, who was still illusory about the peace talks. A firm anti-Japanese leader.

This man was like a piece of granite when he was stubborn, but once he decided to compromise, it was unparalleled to kneel down. Now that he has decided to consolidate the German Empire with all his strength, he must show tangible sincerity and let the powerful power feel the friendliness and generosity of the state.

The government decided to come up with some dry goods to use for the joy of the country. The problem is, don't even think about the material resources of the poor China at present. For the current state government, even the material resources of the poor southwest half of the country are all unsolvable problems.

There are too many warlords’ interests involved here. The Guangxi and Guangxi provinces are under the control of the Gui family. Yunnan’s Long Yun is very difficult. Sichuan’s mountains are in the middle of the mountain. Emperor Tian Gao is far away, the two lakes in Henan are on the front line, and Shanxi is the site of Lao Xi. As for Shaanxi, there is no need to talk about it.

The great officials of Guofu used their fingers to clear the weights in their hands. Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but feel sad. The foundation on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has now fallen into the hands of the Japanese. He has become a rootless tree. It's not that he has firmly grasped a huge army of heirs. Under such a group of wolves, he has long been eaten and eaten by others.

The resources in the hands of the state government are really limited, except for some industrial and mining enterprises, only the name of an orthodox government is available. If you can’t give too much benefit, then use the policy as compensation. This idea was the first proposal made by Wang Shijie, and the result was approved by everyone. Opening up the market in the Kuomintang area, allowing German companies to invest and do business, and even exploring mineral deposits and setting up factories, the trade tax and road tax are all preferential, even if they go to areas that are not managed by the national government, the German caravan Don’t dare to offend, it’s better if someone jumps out, just borrow the German hands to give those **** some taste, and then the state government will get cheap and sell well.

"These need to be reported to Berlin first. I don't think there is a problem. I believe many companies will be interested in this." Dr. Pan Ke looked at the document.

"The purchasing power of the people in this country is not strong, and ordinary industrial products are difficult to penetrate into the local market." Lerbernau did a lot of homework, and the intelligence collection work of the Eye of Odin was very good.

"This has far exceeded our expectations. The main task of our trip can be said to have been completed by half. This finance minister is an excellent lobbyist, but I always feel that I cannot trust him easily." Colonel Davidson sipped Bitter black coffee, with a strong aroma in the air.

"Your judgment is correct. He was not a trustworthy person. This is actually a businessman. His only pursuit is profit. Do you know how many of these suspected smuggling companies were established by his family? Nine There are nine companies that use the name of the country to smuggle and traffic all kinds of tight commodities and earn the wealth of their nationals. He is also suspected of using the treasury funds for his family to speculate foreign exchange on the European and American stock markets, and also rely on news It’s convenient to make a speculative business in the country. The finance minister of a country is trying to dig in the corner of his country. This is really a joke that can’t be laughed.” Baron Lébernau trimmed his cigar butts, and then brightened Got a match.

"This is the Chinese's own problem and has nothing to do with us. As long as he is willing to cooperate with Germany, then he is our friend." Dr. Pan Ke interjected.

"You are acting too realistic, doctor. Don't forget the honor of the empire." Colonel Davidson said coldly.

"I'm sorry Colonel, I don't understand what you mean. I don't think it has anything to do with honor." Dr. Pan Ke glanced at the colonel, and then turned over a page of documents.

"Gentlemen, we don't have to argue about this. What should be discussed now is how to negotiate with this finance minister tomorrow. Dr. Pan Ke, should we let him convey the views of the head of state to the Chinese government." Sitting in the parlor In the corner, Lieutenant Colonel Roch played a round. This communications expert was transferred from the Army Command. He was in charge of the radio communications team of the Special Envoy and kept in touch with Berlin day and night.

"If it is revealed now, will it be too early, we have not yet figured out the other party's bottom line."

"Where do they have the bottom line, you look at this document." Baron Lebernau pointed the cigar at the paper in the doctor's hand.

"If I put forward such a clause, I would be shot in the people's court because of alleged betrayal of national sovereignty, but this is the official document of their government. This is really a magical country." Lerbernau said with a sneering smile To.

"Don’t forget that they are engaged in a **** war, dealing with a strong enemy that is far more powerful than theirs. I think if it is conducive to the victory of the war, it is a normal choice to make some concessions and sacrifices, which can make people Understand." Dr. Pan Ke said, holding his glasses.

"Just after receiving the telegram, the next batch of people transferred from China will arrive in Saigon tomorrow." Lieutenant Colonel Rohe turned the subject.

"Has the telegram been sent?" Lernau asked.

"It has already been sent, and the Berlin side should give an answer tomorrow morning."

"I don't know if these conditions will satisfy the head of state." Lerbernau stroked the hair in the back of the head.

"The head of state will make the right decision. I believe that the head of state knows this country better than anyone among us." Dr. Pan Ke said.

"It is said that the head of state also speaks Chinese." Colonel Davidson interjected.

"Colonel, where did you get this news?" Lebernau asked with a curiosity.

"I have a friend who knows Lieutenant Colonel Randolph at the head of the adjutant's office," Davidson said with pride in his face.

"They can only take out part of the tung oil and bristle." Panke turned the subject back.

"I have read the information and remember that in the early transactions, the largest amount of goods was soybean oil." Colonel Davidson said.

"The main source of soybeans in China is Northeast China, which has now fallen under the control of the Japanese. Manchuria, you remember." Lerbernau spit out smoke.

"The head of state is ready to sever diplomatic relations with Manchuria, if the Japanese continue to hinder German companies from purchasing goods locally. The Japanese's economic monopoly policy has seriously affected the German commercial development in China. This cooperation with China The main purpose of the agreement is to expand the Chinese market. Now this work is half done. They should be asked to send a more professional team to come in contact with us first, so that when the marshal arrives at their accompany, they can sign directly A formal agreement has been made." Baron Lébernau put down the cigar and picked up the warm coffee at hand.

"The head of state's cooperation plan is very comprehensive. If the chairman of China is smart enough, he will not refuse." Dr. Pan Ke's face was full of confidence.

Ask for monthly tickets, ask for recommendations, and thank you for your support and encouragement. I have set a standard for myself. Now I only hope that Junding will not fall below this bottom line. Before that, I will work hard to update it normally. Thank you.

Thank you for your support. (To be continued.)
