Chapter 101 Exit the League of Nations
Chapter 101 Withdrawal from the League of Nations
From the long-term development point of view, the rocket launcher is not suitable for field troops. But at this period, it is undoubtedly a sharp weapon at close range. In fact, this rocket launcher was designed by Dr. Robert Goddard under a contract from the US Army.
During World War I, while working at Clark University, Goddard also worked at the Mount Wilson Observatory designing tubular launch rockets for the U.S. Army in World War I. He and his
Colleague Dr. Clarence Hickman jointly demonstrated the weapon to the U.S. Army Signal Corps at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland on November 6, 1918. However, five days later the Allies and the Central Powers ceased fighting at Cambon.
The agreement was signed (the end of World War I), so this type of weapon did not receive further development. The delay in the bazooka development project was largely related to Goddard's suffering from tuberculosis.
běi In 1928, the Jing Medical Research Institute developed a drug called streptomycin, which happened to be the nemesis of tuberculosis. Since the initial output of streptomycin was very low and the Chinese did not disclose the patent, in order to treat tuberculosis, Dr. Goddard
He had no choice but to accept the invitation from Eurasia Group, come to China for medical treatment and continue his research.
In 1930, Goddard came up with the first rocket launcher, but after sending it to Beijing, Fang Jianxiong said he could not accept it. He also drew a sketch of an RPG rocket launcher and told Goddard that this was the rocket launcher. Eurasia Wuhu Military Industry
The group generously stated that once it can produce RPGs, Goddard will receive two yuan in return for every rocket launcher produced within 10 years. There is no shortage of funds, assistants, and equipment. Where can I find such a good thing?
?
After many studies and improvements, Goddard finally came up with a rocket launcher in early 1935 that satisfied Fang Jianxiong. In fact, the most successful thing about RPGs is not its lethality and range, but its low price and high quality. So the famous one in history
Bazooka was aborted before she was born, and was replaced by RP named by Fang Jianxiong
g rocket launcher. Although the final version of this rocket launcher has a certain gap compared to the RPGs sold all over the world later, it is already very good. The most important thing is that it is cheap. According to the price in 1935, after mass production, every
The price of a rocket launcher was only US$100, which was equivalent to RMB 400 at the time.
This equipment was required to be kept secret, so it has never been distributed to the army. Lin Yun took advantage of the holidays to visit relatives in his hometown, got the news from a friend in the Eurasian military industry, and then shamelessly tried to get some of it back.
Goddard made a lot of money from this rocket launcher. According to later statistics, from 1935 to 1945, Wuhu Military Industrial Group produced a total of 2.2 million RPG rocket launchers, which were also bought all over the world. Objectively speaking,
, with the ingenuity of the Chinese people, as long as there are not too many constraints from the system, the Chinese people can sell products all over the world. It is not an exaggeration at all!
Ambassador to Germany Jiang Tingfu started busy early in the morning. Wang Chonghui, the foreign minister of the Republic of China, called and asked the embassy to try its best to help some Jews with skills or academic achievements to go to China. After the "Nuremberg Act" was announced, countries around the world
The German embassy refused to issue visas to Jews, and only the Chinese embassy continued to issue visas.
Suddenly, a group of strong German men with shaved heads appeared outside the embassy. They all held sticks in their hands and rushed towards the Jews who were lining up at the entrance of the embassy. These people beat and cursed, and most of the Jews were dispersed. A small number of them were dispersed.
He escaped by hiding in the courtyard of the embassy. The strong German men had no intention of leaving and continued to block the door and curse.
After being alarmed, Jiang Tingfu came out quickly and saw a thrilling scene. In the small courtyard, twenty or thirty Jews with broken heads and bleeding bodies were moaning and hoping for help. Jiang Tingfu, filled with indignation, rushed out and pointed at
Those strong German men shouted angrily: "Assholes! You thugs!"
"Damn it, he dared to call us thugs!" A strong German man in a black shirt waved his hand, and a group of Germans rushed up, punching and kicking Jiang Tingfu. Upon seeing this, the staff in the yard rushed out immediately. The embassy
After hearing the news, Major Zheng Jiemin, the military attaché, also rushed out, took out his pistol and fired into the sky. Only then did he stop facing the Germans at the muzzle of the gun.
When the news returned to China, Wang Chonghui, the foreign minister of the Republic of China, called the German government to express strong protest. He also proposed three solutions. First, severely punish the rioters and compensate the injured. Second, publicly apologize. Third, similar incidents must not happen again.
It is very bad for something like this to happen. The embassy is equivalent to a country within a country. The embassy is attacked by bugs and the ambassador is injured. It is absolutely equivalent to the invasion of the country. If the German government cannot handle it properly, according to Fang Jianxiong's character,
The result will definitely be bad. This incident attracted the attention of the whole world. The rising Germany was subject to trade sanctions from all over the world. Among the powerful countries, China is Germany's only trading partner. When such a thing happens, the governments of both countries are highly concerned.
Pay attention to.
Before the outcome of the matter came out, the Chinese government caused another major incident. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement, saying: In view of the failure of the League of Nations to effectively respond to Germany's violation of the Treaty of Versailles, the Chinese government decided to withdraw from the League of Nations. News 1
The world's media once again paid serious attention to China. You must know that the original sponsor of the League of Nations was the United States, and the last one was Britain and France. The relationship between China and the United States has always been very good. Does China's withdrawal from the League of Nations mean something else?
When all kinds of speculations from the outside world were flying, a Mercedes car came out of the German Chancellery and drove to the Chinese Embassy under strict protection. Naturally, the person who got out of the car was not Hitler, and his status was not suitable.
When we came to the embassy, the person sitting under the car was General Bob, who was well-known in the German army. Because he had a good relationship with China, Hitler called him to the office of the Chancellery early in the morning, hoping that he could come forward to mediate the matter.
Bob looked serious. When he walked into the Prime Minister's Office half an hour ago, Hitler told him frankly that he hoped to get China's understanding of the vicious case that happened in front of the Chinese Embassy. The perpetrators were a group of stormtroopers.
The stormtroopers were established on August 3, 1921. In the founding declaration, the stormtroopers vowed to serve the Nazi Party as a "steel organization" and to "willingly follow the leader."
The German army has always disliked this organization, and some generals have never concealed their dislike of the stormtroopers. Bob is one of the generals who dislikes the stormtroopers. As a famous general in the German army, Bob has no sympathy for these stormtroopers.
What a great idea. We can only ask Mr. Prime Minister to propose a solution and suggest: "Mr. Prime Minister, don't let this incident affect Sino-German relations. There has been a lot of non-governmental cooperation between the two countries for a long time. These non-governmental cooperation have effectively promoted the development of Germany."
Rebuilding the National Defense Force. Recently, the National Defense Force is seeking to obtain the latest tanks, fighter jets, and radars from China. Objectively speaking, the Chinese are ahead in many aspects. They not only cooperate with Germany, but also with the United States, and even from Eastern Europe
Some countries have poached a large number of talents in the field of military science and technology. More importantly, China is Germany's largest trading partner. Germany needs rare metals from China, which is the country with the largest output of rare technologies in the world."
Hitler was not too dissatisfied when something like this happened. However, he was worried that it would affect exports to China and the import of rare metals manganese, tungsten and other materials that Germany urgently needed from China. As for aircraft, tanks and radars, Hitler did not think so.
It is a particularly important thing. "Germany is the best nation in the world. We can build the best aircraft and tanks in the world. As for radar, what is it used for?"
Bob was used to speaking with facts, so he took out a photo from his bag, put it on the table and said to Hitler: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is a photo taken by our military advisers in China ten years ago.
Please see, this is a tank made by the Chinese. Shooting with a 75mm cannon at a distance of 800 meters cannot penetrate the front armor of the tank. Objectively speaking,
This is the best tank in the world today. Our officers have personally driven this tank. As for aircraft, the Chinese have proven in the Siberian campaign that they are leading the world in the way they use aircraft. And radar, which is a
The latest technical equipment can detect enemy aircraft even when they are far away. I think the importance of these things is beyond doubt."
"Okay, my general. I accept your suggestion. Those guys who are messing around in front of the Chinese Embassy will be severely punished. Compensation can also be discussed, but I hope the Chinese Embassy can cancel the visas for the Jews." Hitler decided to give in.
, but Bob had no intention of giving in at that time and insisted: "I don't think the Chinese will agree! I know Mr. Fang Jianxiong too well. With his character, if he can't
To meet his request, he will definitely take the toughest measures. One thing I want to remind the Prime Minister is that the Chinese withdrew from the League of Nations for no other reason than to prepare for independent action against Germany. From understanding
From the day Fang Jianxiong died, I knew that no one should underestimate his national pride. Anyone with such a mentality will not end well when it comes to China's issues."
"General Bob, I have received help from the Chinese. I have no ill feelings towards the Chinese. I just don't understand why the Chinese want to accept the Jews." Hitler finally compromised. At this time, Hitler had not yet become arrogant.
, the German Wehrmacht is still being reorganized, and Hitler is still cautiously testing Britain and France. For Germany today, China is still a very powerful opponent, so don’t mess with it if you can.
běi Jing, Presidential Palace, Fang Jianxiong is not as angry as the outside world suspected. If something like this happens, Fang Jianxiong may not necessarily think it is a bad thing. What do the Jews say? They are very rich! As long as they have money, Fang Jianxiong is easy to negotiate!
