Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After sending little Loli Monroe to school, Jin Batian did not go directly to work, but went to the teahouse for morning tea.  The reason is not other. Someone found out that Jinba Genius was the major shareholder of Limin Ship Recycling Factory through the business name of Limin Ship Recycling Factory.  Someone was specially invited to invite Jin Batian to come out to discuss business. Talking about business is naturally much more important than going to work. The salary of a major general is only a few hundred yuan a month.

    The person who invited Jin Batian out this time was the nearby boss Liu. He has been in the grain and oil business for decades and his shop has a good reputation. Jin Batian¡¯s grain and oil are all supplied by Liu Ji Cereal and Oil Store, and he has always been able to eat with confidence¡ª¡ª  What puzzles Jin Batian the most is that if the old society was so bad, why didn't rice poisoned by gutter oil.

    This time, Boss Liu came to the door and said that Jin Batian would only be hired if there was a huge business.  In fact, it was Jin Batian who wanted to see what kind of business this so-called huge business was. Could it be bigger than the average daily transaction volume of several million in the arms business?

    When we arrived at the teahouse, the women naturally stayed in the car. In this era, it was not popular to take a mistress to socialize.  "Boss Liu, who is this?"

    Seeing Jin Batian coming, the two men also stood up to greet him. Boss Liu said, "I'm about to introduce you to him. This is Mr. Zhang."

    "Mr. Zhang." Jin Batian sat down and ordered a pot of tea and asked, "I don't know, Boss Liu, what kind of business did Mr. Zhang invite me to discuss? It's bigger than the sky."

    Boss Liu: ¡°I¡¯ll have to ask Mr. Zhang to tell me now.¡±

    Mr. Zhang looks to be about forty years old, and he is dressed in a combination of Chinese and Western styles - long robes and cloth shoes with a Western-style hat and cane, which gives him a somewhat different feeling.

    Just listen to Mr. Zhang's unhurried saying: "I studied in Berlin and studied mechanics. The most profound aspect of Berlin's machinery is perpetual motion technology. After these years of research, I have been involved in the public relations of perpetual motion technology.  A small success and several papers have been published. What is missing now is a sum of funds to trial-produce this perpetual motion machine and make it available to the world. When the perpetual motion machine sells well, the benefits of all investors will also be indispensable"

    Before Zhang Turtle could finish explaining the benefits of perpetual motion machines, Jin Batian sprayed a sip of tea on Mr. Zhang's face when he heard about investing in perpetual motion machines.

    Okay, what kind of perpetual motion machine is your sister doing?  Are there not many people fooled by this thing?  You said you want to build a fusion and fission device and just invest some money yourself.  After all, this is something that has been proven to work.  If you don¡¯t say whether you can do perpetual motion machines, even the energy tycoons, including OPEC, won¡¯t allow you to do it.

    "This, this, this" Mr. Zhang was sprayed with tea in his face, and he couldn't even speak clearly.  Over there, Boss Liu quickly asked for a towel to help Mr. Zhang wipe his face and clothes.

    "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jin Batian waved his hand and said, "I have also heard about this perpetual motion machine. Although most of it is unreliable, there is no guarantee that Mr. Zhang is really successful in his research. However,  Have you ever thought about what kind of business I am in?

    ¡°It¡¯s true that I sell machines, but I also sell power generation machines and refined oil.  If a perpetual motion machine comes on the market, most of my business will be ruined.  If you let me invest in this perpetual motion machine, wouldn't it mean that I would ruin my own business? In addition, I would like to advise you whether my business is big or not.

    That's all. The oil tycoon hates this perpetual motion machine the most. He thinks that blocking people's financial path is like killing their parents. If Mr. Zhang wants to continue to study this perpetual motion machine, he should try to keep it secret before starting to mass-produce it.  good.  Otherwise, it would be too late to regret being ordered to rape and kill someone.  "

    After saying that, Jin Batian stood up and said, "That's all. Farewell. Farewell."

    Mr. Zhang and Boss Liu were left looking at each other. I heard that the oil tycoon had issued a rape and murder order to study this. Boss Liu's face was livid with fear and asked: "Mr. Zhang, can I get a refund for the five hundred yuan I invested?"  return."

    "If you want to withdraw now, you can only withdraw 90%." Mr. Zhang also looked ugly. It is said that the perpetual motion scam he learned in Berlin can scare many people, but why is it not working here? It has been more than half a year.  , only one boss, Liu, was persuaded to invest 500 yuan. You must know that Mr. Zhang¡¯s purpose is to make a big profit. In the name of buying parts and components abroad, registering patents, etc., he will escape to a foreign country and enjoy endless wealth.  .  Now Boss Liu wants to withdraw his capital even if someone scares him, what should he do?

    Jin Batian got back in the car: "Ministry of Military Affairs."

    " It was so early in the morning. I don't know how much Boss Liu was deceived. I don't know if he will have to buy grain and oil from another store in the future.

    On the way to the Military and Political Department in Peiping, there was a scene of martial law. Patrols appeared in teams, and the number of military police at major intersections doubled.  Of course, Jin Batian's military vehicles are not within the scope of martial law.

    Looking at the patrolmen and military policemen patrolling and setting up checkpoints, Jin Batian thought to himself: Could it be something big?  Haven't heard of it recently?

    When I arrived at the Ministry of Military Affairs, I was invited by Minister Song before I even went to the office.When they arrived at Minister Song's office, Jin Batian asked, "The streets outside the Military and Political Department are heavily guarded, but what's the big deal?"

    "I was about to tell you about this." Minister Song said: "The German head of state came to China for a secret visit. Today he flew from Nanjing to Baoding, and then took a train from Baoding to Peking for a visit."

    "Sure enough, it's a big deal." Jin Batian nodded, thinking that the mustache would give him face.  This is coming.  Presumably the war situation in Europe has changed.

    Minister Song said: "In order to welcome the head of state for inspection, we have sent some additional sentries here. Also, the head of state wants to see our weapons reserves. It seems that there is going to be a real war in Europe."

    Well, Germany and Tsarist Russia in Europe are still in a state of fake war. The two countries used different situations to carve up Poland. In any case, they also need to stabilize the place.  Speaking of which, sooner or later we have to fight. After all, there is no room for two tigers in this mountain, and one European overlord is enough.

    Looking at it now, excluding England, there are still three and a half countries on the European continent that are qualified to compete for hegemony, namely Germany, Tsarist Russia and France. Italy can only count as half. After all, the army of the Noodle Country has always been known for its incompetence in wars.  Although Mussolini was always known for his toughness, he still could not make the Italian army good at fighting.

    Although the unified German Empire under Mustache has long been prepared, the preparations of the allies are still very important. After all, if this ally can contain Tsarist Russia's military strength in the Far East and let it fight on both sides, the German Army's winning rate will be  It's much bigger.

    Although the Central Army is still far away from Moscow, Mustache does not mind if the two countries come to Moscow to meet.  Doing this will give up some of the interests of Tsarist Russia, but in this way Germany can turn its head and fight the hungry wolf France - Mustache has long known that the Anglo-French alliance is not a good bird.

    It¡¯s a long way from Berlin to Nanjing. It would be too easy for something to happen if the news were leaked in advance, so Mustache decided to visit China secretly.  The three locations to be inspected this time are Xi'an, Nanjing, and Peiping.  The elites and weapons and equipment of the Central Army are also located in these three places. From the perspective of Adolf the Mustache, who has now traveled to two places, the current Nanjing government has barely reached the level of fighting against Tsarist Russia.

    But the premise is that they are willing to fight Tsarist Russia to hold back the Tsarist Russians in the Far East, and even march westward to Moscow as planned to complete the great cause of destroying Tsarist Russia.  Mustache came in person this time, and there was also an element of persuasion.  The little Japanese devil is already a yellow flower, and it doesn't matter if he is allowed to roam around for two more days. However, as long as Tsarist Russia is destroyed and the land channel between Germany and China is opened, the significance is much greater than recovering the three eastern provinces.

    But the principal¡¯s attitude did not satisfy the head of state. From the head of the state¡¯s point of view, the principal who had won consecutive victories was already a bit inflated. He even said that he would fight even the little devils, but he would not give up even if they joined forces in Moscow.  You must know that fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists. Germany was defeated on this during World War I.

    The principal has reason to be proud and inflated. In 1936, the Central Army overfulfilled its expansion and reorganization training tasks. By 1937, the number of troops in the Central Army reached 5.5 million. A large number of middle and low-level officers who graduated from Army University contributed to these troops.  Brought new blood.  And in these years, it has not lost a single victory in the war against Japan and Russia.  The years of war have not increased the burden on local areas and people. On the contrary, the territories ruled by the Central Army have shown a prosperous scene due to the exemption of agricultural taxes and the reduction of land rents.

    The country¡¯s finances are running well, with sufficient firearms and ammunition, and it has also built a navy with the world¡¯s largest tonnage from a young age - in early 1937, the Nanjing Navy¡¯s total tonnage exceeded that of the Royal Navy of England.  Now the Nanjing General Staff Headquarters has made dozens of plans to regain the three northeastern provinces, but they just need an opportunity to complete them.

    "Look at the ammunition reserves, no problem. I'll get some more from the warehouse."

    Minister Song said: "No need to go to so much trouble, just go to the warehouse in Tongzhou and have a look."

    Now Jin Batian¡¯s warehouse in Tongzhou is no longer the same size as before. Instead, he bought a large piece of vacant land nearby and built more classified new warehouses according to various categories.

    For a moment, Jin Batian thought about taking a mustache to the underground factory to shock him, but then he thought about it, because he would not tell his parents or his wife and children about such a thing.  Mustache and himself are not even related, so why show it to him.  The principal said it without even seeing it.

    "No problem." Looking at the warehouses on the surface, what else could Jin Batian say.

    The head of state did not fly directly to Peiping because he was in Baoding to review with the principal the 25th Armored Division of the 17th Army that had just been armored in Baoding.  The review was completed under extremely confidential circumstances. At least until the F¨¹hrer returned to Berlin, no news of the F¨¹hrer's visit to China would appear in newspapers everywhere.

    InspectionAfter finishing the armored division, Xiaohu, accompanied by Song Ziwen and Jin Batian, went to visit the strategic reserve warehouses in Peiping, Tongzhou and other places.  These are all secondary. The focus is on the enlarged meeting after watching it in various places. The so-called enlarged meeting is only five or six people in addition to the principal and the head of state, which is not too big. After all, confidentiality is the first priority.

    Since Jin Batian is the largest supplier to the Nanjing government, he also participated in this high-level enlarged meeting.  The head of state and the principal sat separately at the main table. On the left were Song Ziwen, Xu Tingyao and other senior officers from the Northern Army branch. Jin Batian sat at the bottom.  On the right are a series of senior military advisers sent by Germany to the Nanjing government.

    The question under discussion is whether the Nanjing government should annihilate Tsarist Russia by joining forces with Germany and Moscow, or whether it should nibble away at Tsarist Russia from the Far East.

    ¡°Obviously, the people in the Nanjing government still hope to encroach on Tsarist Russia from the Far East bit by bit.  After all, everyone still had lingering fears about sending troops from Shaanxi to fight so far away from Moscow.  Relatively speaking, by containing Tsarist Russia from the Far East, we can regain territory without having to fight the main force of Tsarist Russia.

    The meeting lasted for dozens of minutes and there was no constructive progress. Seeing that it was about to end without any problem, Jin Batian stood up and said: "In fact, it is easy to destroy Tsarist Russia. What we have to consider is more about the international community, especially the European and American powers, after destroying Tsarist Russia.  Reaction."

    The head of state studied Chinese hard for several months before his secret visit to China. Naturally, he understood these words and asked: "Tsarist Russia has seven million troops and the largest army in the world. Although there are shortcomings like this, but only  Even if China and Germany join forces, it¡¯s hard to say that it will be easy to destroy Tsarist Russia, right?¡±

    The principal didn¡¯t understand why Jin Batian stood up to speak. The purpose of this person¡¯s visit was to see if he could provide more high-quality and cheap arms.  But Jin Batian was from his side after all, so the principal didn't ask too many questions. Anyway, the mustache that he wanted to ask had already been asked.

    Jin Batian replied: "The political and industrial centers of Tsarist Russia are mainly concentrated near Moscow. At the same time, Moscow is also the transportation hub for Tsarist Russia to connect to Eurasia. Capture Moscow. Tsarist Russia will not be worried. If the Tsarist Russian cabinet in Moscow is captured alive  and the Tsar could even force the Tsarist Russian troops on the Far East and Polish front lines to hand over their guns and surrender.¡±

    Having said this, Jin Batian paused and said: "I know what everyone wants to say is that our frontline troops are still thousands or even thousands of miles away from Moscow, the capital of Tsarist Russia. I just don't know if you have listened.  They talked about a new military branch - airborne troops, or paratroopers."

    The head of state nodded: "We have built an elite paratrooper unit. It is now the size of a regiment. It is still in training and has not been tested by war. Tsarist Russia also has an airborne paratrooper unit. According to my information, there will not be more than one.  trip."

    Fortunately for the head of state, the Nanjing government has heard of such a force, which has to land from an altitude of several thousand or even tens of thousands of meters and then launch a battle against the enemy.  Even the most elite troops of the Central Army would not dare to skydive over several thousand meters.

    "One regiment is too few." Jin Batian said: "To destroy Tsarist Russia, all we need to do is airdrop three airborne divisions to Moscow. If Moscow is controlled within forty-eight hours, Tsarist Russia will be finished. That's why I said that what we have to consider is Tsarist Russia.  The reaction of the international community after it is over. After all, after the world's largest country across Eurasia is destroyed by us, many people who are ready to watch the show will jump out."

    The meeting suddenly fell into a discussion in Chinese and German. After the two small circles buzzed for a while, the head of state said: "As for the reaction of the international community, I think we forced Tsarist Russia to surrender before they could even make any reaction.  . The three airborne divisions do have a certain chance of taking control of Moscow. But there are many things to be done here, including the training preparations of the three airborne divisions, aircraft Also, if the three airborne divisions fail to take Moscow as scheduled, we will  Be prepared to lose three airborne divisions."

    Jin Batian said: "Everyone must know that in the battle to recapture Yan'an, I have considered the success rate of this airborne landing in Moscow. The success rate is at least 95%. Because before the airborne landing in Moscow, we will send a large number of lightly armed troops  Personnel sneaked into Moscow, cleared out the garrison and key points outside Moscow before the paratroopers fell, and even reserved a batch of ammunition for the airborne troops to use."

    The principal doesn't want to fall behind here. One or two divisions are worth it in exchange for so much territory and wealth from Tsarist Russia. The international community, just like what was just discussed, is probably over before it even reacts. Faced with two  Even Britain, France and the United States should think twice about joining forces with the superpowers.  The principal said: "I think the airborne division can be formed by the Chinese and German coalition forces. How about training in Berlin? It will be closer to the airborne landing in Moscow."

    A German consultant said: "Several airborne divisions cannot be formed in a short time. It seems that the time for the decisive battle with Tsarist Russia will have to be pushed back."

    Jin Batian¡¯s theory?: "As for aircraft, parachutes and equipment for paratroopers, the northern military industry (of course we cannot say that the negotiations with Germany are Nanyang military industry, but for the sake of face, we have to say northern military industry) can completely solve the problem. If you feel that parachute landing is not safe enough, you can use aircraft  Drop some personnel and equipment to control Moscow's periphery."

    The head of state nodded: "I will consider it."

    The two countries treated the world¡¯s largest country as if it were a dish.  Next, the two countries began to discuss the future Sino-German national boundary issue, which would need to be mapped using a ruler.

    Although in theory, the two countries carve up the Eurasian and African continents with Moscow as the central line, but after drawing this way, there is still a corner of northeastern Africa and some African islands within the scope of the Nanjing government - for Germany, which has long wanted to occupy Africa,  This is definitely not possible.

    To the head of state, Africans are too dirty, even dirtier than Jews (it is said that the head of state was bullied by Jewish classmates when he was a child), and they are not suitable to live in this world at all.  In this world, it is enough that the German nation stands at the top of the world. Only the Chinese nation can stand with the German nation.  The remaining ones should be massacred and enslaved. The world's land area is so small that it is really a lot to support two ethnic groups. Regarding the recent expulsion of African-American immigrants and the expulsion of Indians by the US imperialism, the mustache has no words.  Said, I still quite like it.

    After the meeting, Jin Batian was called away by the principal again to talk alone.

    The principal asked: "What do you think is the success rate of the airborne landing in Moscow plan?"

    Jin Batian replied: "Nothing in the world is 100%, but this plan has at least a 90% success rate. It's just that I will take people to Moscow once."

    Jin Batian knew that the key to the success of this plan still rested with himself.  If he leads his team into Moscow in advance and creates a certain degree of chaos in Moscow before the airborne landing, the airborne plan will be completed.

    The principal asked again: "Can Nanyang Military Industry completely solve the problem of aircraft and equipment?"

    Jin Batian calculated the output: "It can definitely be solved, but it will only take a year."

    The principal nodded: "If it's only for a year, then you can wait. Anyway, we need to train the airborne troops during this period. Which team of the Central Army do you think is qualified?"

    "Well, I have been serving in the 29th Army. I am not very familiar with other Central Army teams, so I dare not make any comments."

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s ask Ziwen to come in.¡±

    Jinba Tianxin said, yes, we will have great luck in reorganizing one hundred divisions.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
