Chapter 140 Oilfield Sales, Reminder!

In December 1937, German Admiral Bob once again led a delegation to visit China. Compared with the size of a fleet sent by China, Germany, with its weak navy, could only use one passenger ship to send the delegation to China.

Among the delegation, there are many familiar faces from Chinese generals, such as Guderian and Dönitz.

Marshal Fang was very generous and went to Shanghai to greet the German delegation in person. When the soldiers were together, they naturally talked about the military. When Bob faced Fang Jianxiong alone, he talked about tanks. "Boss, our Panzer IV is a replica.

(t34), Biel, as the engineer in charge of imitation, deeply regrets your country's technology. It is too rough, really too rough. Also, because Germany lacks crude oil, we can only use gasoline engines of the same horsepower instead.

.”

When it comes to this gasoline engine, Fang Jianxiong is a little tempted. The Germans can build such a high-horsepower gasoline engine, which is definitely of high tonnage when used in cars. The maximum load of domestic cars is only two and a half tons. In that damn place in the Soviet Union, cars with small horsepower

It doesn't work. "Bob, I want this gasoline engine, but I don't want it for free. I'll give you some important news in exchange."

"What important news?" Bob showed a vigilant expression. He knew the nature of this boss very well. For the sake of Germany, Bob also tore off his honest face, as if he was ready to roll up his sleeves to ask for advice and bargaining. Fang Jianxiong smiled.

Patting him on the shoulder, he smiled as he got into the car: "Don't you know me yet? Haven't you taken away enough good things from me over the years?"

Bob replied seriously: "Boss, to be honest, you gave a lot of good things, but the rewards you asked for are also very high. Now I am the head of the German diplomatic delegation, and I am responsible for the interests of Germany."

.”

"It's boring for you to be like this! Back then, you and Pierre embezzled the dividends from my sales in Europe. I have never settled this account with you. Now you are arguing with me?" Fang Jianxiong settled the old accounts sadly, and Bob didn't care.

He moved and continued with a straight face: "After the European war, hundreds of German companies came to China and brought technology to help China complete the construction of its industrial system. You should know very well that at that time, although only China could provide such large-scale help

Germany, but it does not mean that Germany has no other choice. It is precisely because Biel felt that he owed you that the German companies came to China as shareholders. Now that the two countries are friendly, you should not worry about Germany. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, very much hopes to work with you.

As long as you agree to an alliance with China, everything can be discussed."

"Look at you, are you talking nonsense? You're wrong. What's the point of forming an alliance in a good business? China is not a dictatorship. It can't be as simple as forming an alliance if I say it. Let me tell you...

"Bob raised his hand to interrupt Fang's chattering, and asked seriously: "What is a crooked building?"

"Hahaha! Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." After haha, Fang Jianxiong suddenly looked very serious, looked at Bob with sharp eyes and said: "You really don't want to know the important news I said? That's an oil field!

"

Bang! It was like a thunder exploded in Bob's ears. He was so excited that he forgot to be in the car. He stood up suddenly and his forehead hit the roof of the car hard. At that time, stars were shining in his eyes. The unscrupulous boss not only didn't care about it, but also paid attention to what was ahead of him.

Liao Yaoxiang, a top student from Daoliude, the adjutant of the car, said: "Remember, send someone to check the roof of the car later to see if it is damaged, and give the repair bill to General Bob. Really, the landlord is so excited.

There’s a margin.”

Adjutant Liao was feeling uncomfortable. He turned his head and pretended to look at the scenery outside, saying that he had not heard anything. When Fang Jianxiong saw this, he said angrily: "Liao Yaoxiang, you don't want to be this adjutant anymore. You can clean up tomorrow and report to the Eighth Mechanized Army. What the boss said

If you don't even pay attention, get away as far as you can from me."

Liao Yaoxiang heard it very clearly this time. Instead of being afraid, he said with surprise on his face: "Thank you, President, for showing mercy and finally agreeing to release me from the army. What do you think I will do in the Eighth Mechanized Army?"

"What can you do? First go and work for Zhang Zhizhong as a staff officer or as a regiment leader. Choose one yourself. Then go to the General Staff Office tomorrow to go through the formalities. Just say it's what I want." As he spoke, he saw that Bob had almost returned to normal.

He smiled and said: "Bob, my brother, look at how boring I am as a president. None of my adjutants are willing to stay with me for one more day. Hey, it's not easy for me. You have to understand my difficulties. China

It is an agricultural country, and the current industry..."

Bob stared at Fang Jianxiong with a murderous look, threatening to strangle you to death if you keep nagging you. Fang Jianxiong put away his nonsense and said with a crooked mouth: "It's really boring. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we can't make any jokes." Bao.

Bo gritted his teeth: "Oil field! Where is it? As long as it's true, Germany has the technology and it's easy to negotiate."

"That's right. We are all brothers. It's boring to bargain like businessmen. Forget it, I'm not kidding you. The oil field is in Bavaria. This is one of our scientists who studied in Germany. According to his research

The new theory he came up with deduced that the geographical structure of Bavaria is likely to contain oil fields. He also told me a specific location. You wait for me to look for it." Fang Jianxiong took out his pocket and handed a note to Bao before he opened it.

Bob grabbed it, and after looking at the address carefully, Bob shouted: "I want a radio station." "Liao Yaoxiang, record it, he was charged a hundred yuan per word for telegraph fees, and he was allowed to yell at the boss."

Liao Yaoxiang finally saw another side of Marshal Fang who was always strict as a businessman. He felt that he had gained a lot today and would have something to talk about in the next few decades. It made him happy when he thought about it carefully. Who would believe it if he told it? The President, actually

There is also such a side. China currently has more than 20 automobile factories, of which only four produce trucks. They are the Sino-US joint venture Dodge Automobile Factory in Wuhan Special Economic Zone, the Sino-German joint venture Nanjing Automobile Factory controlled by the Nanjing government, and Northern Heavy Industries in Shenyang.

The Northern Automobile Factory and Eurasia Group's Jianghuai Automobile Industry Group in Hefei mainly produce 1.5-ton and 2.5-ton cars. The only JAC Group that can produce 5-ton cars has all its engines from the United States.

Import. With the introduction of German engine technology and production lines, it only takes two years to build a five-ton car by yourself. You no longer have to look at the faces of Americans. The days of being blinded by holding the engine outlet are over. Speaking of which, always look at people.

It’s really hard to live a day with your face. The Germans are also bad. During the last negotiation, they did not transfer technology such as heavy-duty trucks, which is in high demand.

Before Bob's excitement subsided, Fang Jianxiong said unhurriedly: "Bob, if oil can be produced this time, it will prove that this scientist's theory is correct. According to his theory, I will tell you again.

The location of an oil field. In fact, I am full of confidence in the correctness of this theory, because according to this theory in China, we have found a large oil field with an annual output of 20 million tons. Unfortunately, China's industrial development is too fast

, the output of the oil fields is not enough, and a large amount of imports are needed. Also, our oil refining technology is not very good. Although the Americans reluctantly agreed to provide some technology, new obstacles are always set up in the export of equipment." Bob waved his hand: "

Boss, stop talking. As long as oil is pumped out this time, Germany will help build a large refinery in China. The technology will be free and the equipment costs will be borne by Germany."

Fang Jianxiong meowed like a cat on its tail: "You are still not my brother. I am telling you such important news. How dare you charge me for the equipment? No, I will send a telegram to Hitler and ask him to change it."

Here comes the head of the delegation."

The welcome reception was held at the Eurasia Hotel, the best hotel in Shanghai. During the short speech, Mr. Fang once again sang the high note of peace. Don't tell me. Fang Jianxiong is so hooked up with Germany. He is doing the same thing as Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Nervous, especially the Soviet Union. Once China and Germany form an alliance, it will cost the Soviet Union. One is the country with the most population in the world, and the other is a traditional European power whose industry is several blocks ahead of Germany. These two countries are now

China in China, even if its industry is poor, can basically achieve self-sufficiency. If Germany provides more support, it is hard to say whether the Soviet Union can withstand the attack from both sides. The conspiracy of Sino-German alliance must be broken, and this matter will soon be

After the Supreme Council of the Soviet Union made the decision, while the German delegation was still in China, Soviet Foreign Affairs Commissioner Molotov submitted an application to Germany, requesting the foreign ministers of the two countries to meet to discuss international issues of common interest.

Hitler was determined to solve France first and avenge his previous disgrace. During World War I, Russia withdrew from the war. Besides, without the support of Britain and France, wasn’t Russia just a bunch of gray animals? It was not enough to cause trouble, and the biggest enemy was Britain and France.

.So, Hitler accepted the Soviet Union's suggestion that the foreign ministers of the two countries contact each other first, and then slowly talk about Soviet-German friendship issues.

The Soviet Union wanted to destroy the Sino-German alliance, while Germany wanted to stabilize the Soviet Union, so neither side had good intentions, and everyone deceived each other. In short, the "peace-loving" Stalin and Hitler hit it off, and each felt that the other was a development target that could be deceived. Parallel

Historically, Germany was the one who deceived, and the Soviet Union was the one who was deceived. Of course, in history, the Soviet Union, with the help of American resources, desperately resisted the German onslaught. This is another story.

Diplomatically speaking, Hitler succeeded in deceiving.

Bob eagerly sent the telegram back to China. Hitler, who received the telegram, thought it was a fairy tale. How could there be oil in Germany? Had it not been found earlier? How could it have forced the Third Reich to switch from coal to oil?

Technology? The oil produced by this technology is much more expensive than imported oil. If it were not forced, Germany would not develop this technology. Now if an ordinary person tells him that coal-to-oil technology is redundant, Germany has

Oil! No matter which way Hitler looked at it, he would definitely catch this guy and let the Gestapo severely torture him to calm him down. Let him know that Adolf is not easy to fool, and it was always Adolf who fooled others.

The problem is that the person who said this is in China, and he is the talker of an alliance that Hitler is actively trying to win over. This is a different matter, and Hitler is still half-convinced, and finally decided to dig a well first to see the details.

I already have the address, but if I can’t type it out, I’ll have to settle with this liar. If there’s no oil, you still want an engine? You’re so beautiful.

So, Guderian led an armored division into a small town in Bavaria, and moved all the people in the town under the pretext of military needs. Then, a twenty-mile radius was set up as a military restricted area, and a "construction team" drove into the military area.

Restricted area, start drilling.

It’s not clear whether others believe it or not, but Guderian believed it anyway, because this telegram was sent back by Bob, and it was President Fang Da who told General Bob. If there is anyone in the world that Guderian completely believes, this person is the only one who believes it.

It was General Bob who pioneered the large-scale use of armored clusters in the history of world wars and achieved results. Later, it was Bob who led the German delegation to study and explore in China and perfected this tactical theory.

Assemble, unfold, break through, break through, hit the void and find gaps, sweep across, the whole theory can

Summed up in the above words, these are all theories that Bob led a group of German officials to complete in China, and many things in this theory were actually first proposed by President Fang Da and helped to improve them. Using ancient

To sum up the Eastern military thought, it can be summed up in four words: "Wind Mountain Forest".

At Bob's insistence, every student at the Berlin Military University must read the Chinese "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Moreover, when he was in China, Guderian also heard a story told by President Fang Da personally, about the former French emperor.

Napoleon read "The Art of War" while he was imprisoned on an isolated island after his defeat at Waterloo. After reading it, he said that if he had read this book earlier, he would not have failed. He also asserted that China is a sleeping lion. Once he wakes up, the world will

Will be shocked by it.

It’s hard to tell whether this joke is true or not, but Guderian believed it because he saw the Chinese Communist Party develop into one of the most powerful national defense forces in the world in just over twenty years.

With confidence in Bob and President Fang, Guderian patiently trained his troops in the small town. Half a month later, an engineer suddenly rushed into Guderian's headquarters with a dark and greasy face, speaking incoherently.

Repeating "Oil! Oil!"

Guderian immediately reported to Hitler. After receiving the news, Hitler cheered like crazy in the office of the Chancellery: "Oil, oil! As I said, China is the best ally, the best ally God has given to the Third Reich.

partners. Now their scientists have found oil in Germany using careful theory. They just need some of our engine technology. Goring, it seems that you stopped me last time and said that the engine technology of automobile gasoline engines should not be transferred to the Chinese.

Sensible?"

Faced with Hitler's sarcasm, Göring could only sneer and say: "Facts have proved that the Führer is always right!" Goebbels was secretly furious on the side: This sycophant is stealing my lines!

Hitler, who was preparing to annex Austria, felt greatly empowered after obtaining the oil field. He immediately called Bob and said: The information is accurate and a new oil field address is urgently needed. The key to the blitzkrieg is based on air superiority, and at the same time, the dependence on logistics is too great.

.It is precisely because of this that after the Normandy landings, in the face of the powerful air power of the US military, the Germans were unable to adopt a highly coherent blitzkrieg. The Battle of the Bulge is a typical representative. No air superiority means no logistical supply lines.

Of course, without resources, the logistics supply line is a joke. Therefore, Hitler, who was troubled by resources, didn't think much about it. Isn't it just the car engine technology? Give it to him! Isn't it the engine production line? Give it to him!

Soon Bob's call back came. China's request was for two engine production lines and a full set of technologies, including the latest aviation aluminum alloy material technology. As long as you get the thing, you will give the address. The German side acted very quickly this time, in just a short time

Half a month later, while the delegation was still wandering around China, all necessary matters were completed and shipped.

This exchange between the two ** teams was extensive, and the most in-depth exchange was between the navy. The naval representative was Dönitz, the commander of the German submarine force, who plunged into the Sanya Yulin Base and then stayed there permanently.

Dönitz was not attracted by new submarines, but by a new tactic called "wolf pack".

Guderian plunged into the Northwest Military Region, which is the most advanced area in China and has the latest record of competing with the Soviet army. Liao Yaoxiang, commander of the Xinza Regiment of the Eighth Mechanized Army, was responsible for accompanying Guderian to fly to Dihua first, and then

Then transfer to Almaty, where the Eighth Mechanized Army is based.

Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the Eighth Mechanized Corps, was still very polite when he saw Guderian, but when he took Liao Yaoxiang's reporting materials, he was not too polite and directly ordered: "Serve as a staff officer in the military headquarters for two months, and get familiar with the situation of the army before going down.

Of course Liao Yaoxiang couldn't agree. He frowned and said, "Shuai Fu asked me to come down and be a regiment commander. I can be a battalion commander without a regiment commander. What I studied in Germany was mechanized warfare. After returning to China, I went to Baoding for three further courses."

Month. His grades ranked first in the school, and he was chosen by Fu Shuai.”
