    Shortly after Chen Cheng left, Speer and Manstein walked in together.  Manstein came to Jiyuan as early as last month and conducted an on-site inspection of the weapons of the 98th Army. Of course, he was very satisfied with the weapons of the 98th Army.  "Dear General, has your boss, Commander Chen, left?" Manstein said to him.  "That's right." Lu Mingxuan said with a gloomy face. He didn't expect that Chen Cheng would come to invite him in person. It seemed that Chiang Kai-shek was really determined.  "I didn't expect that things in your country are really complicated. The leader of a country would actually find a way to plot against his own general who was pardoned for his military exploits." Speer shook his head and said.  "This kind of thing happens in every country." Lu Mingxuan said lightly.  Manstein slumped his shoulders, and then said to Lu Mingxuan: "After these few days of on-site inspections and careful consideration, we all agreed that your army's weapons are excellent, so our head of state has agreed to sign a huge contract with your army.  Arms purchase agreement." After listening to his words, Lu Mingxuan finally smiled. It seemed that he had a lot of money to be credited.  "I believe that your country will never regret buying my weapons." Speer and Manstein looked at each other, then took out a Chinese-German bilingual agreement and handed it to Lu Mingxuan.  "This is a draft we have drawn up, and I would like to ask your Excellency, General, to take a look at it." Lu Mingxuan took the agreement and read it carefully.  "We plan to purchase 150 Tiger tanks, 100 King Tiger tanks, 150 Panther tanks, 100 Grizzly tanks, 100 Jagdtiger heavy tank destroyers" Lu Mingxuan listened to Manstein's words, and then  He quickly read the agreement in general, and overall he was very satisfied with the agreement.  In the past few days, German negotiators have been negotiating with the 98th Army.  Although the two parties have considerable differences in some details such as price and purchase quantity.  But one of the two parties is really willing to buy it.  One who really wants to sell.  After Lu Mingxuan made a lot of concessions, they finally reached an agreement.  In the end, Mustache made the decision and decided to spend about 700 million German marks to purchase some heavy weapons ranging from aircraft, heavy artillery to tanks.  Seeing so much money being credited to his account, Lu Mingxuan immediately felt much better.  It seems that you no longer have to worry about military expenses this year!  "We hope that your army can deliver the goods within a year, and it is best to help us train some weapon maintenance personnel and operators as soon as possible." Manstein continued.  "I think there is no problem with this. I still have some inventory in my warehouse, and I think the delivery of the others can be completed within two months." Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.  After hearing his words, Manstein and Speer couldn't help but be shocked. It seemed that they still underestimated Lu Mingxuan's weapons production capabilities.  "Don't you plan to buy some Gustav cannons? If you have such Gustav cannons, I believe you will be able to easily break through the Maginot Line." Lu Mingxuan discovered that Gustav was not on the list.  Taff Cannon couldn't help but asked in slight surprise.  "Thisthe price of your army's heavy artillery is really too expensive, and I'm worried that its power is not as powerful as described." Manstein said to him very honestly.  In the past few days, they had a long negotiation with the negotiators of the 98th Army on the selling price of this giant gun, but after they lowered the price to 12 million German marks, they were unwilling to lower it no matter what.  In the end, Manstein and Speer decided not to consider purchasing such a giant cannon for the time being, considering the high cost and the fact that they had not seen the actual object.  Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that his worries would come true, but fortunately, he had been prepared for it.  "In fact, we are already producing this kind of giant cannon. It will not be long before this kind of giant cannon will be available, and we plan to use this kind of giant cannon in the near-term attack on Qinhuangdao. If General Manstein is not in a hurry  If you leave China, you can witness the power of this giant cannon." After hearing his words, Manstein hesitated.  He was also very happy to see the power of this giant cannon.  So he said to Lu Mingxuan: "I need to discuss it with our head of state, but I think this problem should not be big." "But there is one more thing I want to remind the general, your country's plan to use Jews to offset part of the payment for goods may be  There will be some problems. I think the General does not have the authority to defend those Jews.People issue visas. What if we transport them to China and your country does not agree to accept them?  " Lu Mingxuan thought for a while, and then said to Manstein: "You don't need to worry about this problem. I will find a way to solve this problem when the time comes.  " "That's best.  "Manstein nodded and said. "Can I ask a question?  General Manstein will not leave China recently, right?  " Lu Mingxuan asked. " That's right.  " Manstein said. "This agreement is only a draft, and some specific details still need to be finalized. In addition, Germany has nothing major to do, so he will not leave China in the near future. "So, are you interested, Mr. Manstein?"  Serve as my temporary chief of staff?  It won't be long before we counterattack the Northeast. You also know that I am in very short supply of staff personnel.  " Lu Mingxuan said with a look of longing. "Manstein is one of the three famous generals in Germany, and he is the famous general with the highest overall quality. If he can be allowed to serve as the temporary chief of staff of the 98th Army, it will be of great help to the restoration of Northeast China in the future.  Help. ¡°This?  "For a moment, Manstein hesitated. The relationship between Germany and Japan is still quite good. If the Japanese learn that he has served as the temporary chief of staff of the 98th Army, they will definitely protest to Germany. "As long as Manstein  If you are willing to serve as the chief of staff of our army for three months, then I am willing to reduce your country's payment by 20 million German marks.  ¡± Lu Mingxuan said very sincerely. For a moment, Manstein felt extremely tempted. 20 million German marks was a huge sum for Germany. And it would be good to be able to command this strange and powerful force.  Choice. So he nodded and said, "I think there should be no problem.  " "Then we have a happy cooperation.  My chief of staff.  "Lu Mingxuan extended his big hand. "It's a pleasure to cooperate.  " ****** ****** May 9. As the high-level combat meeting in Luoyang approaches. More and more Kuomintang bosses came to Luoyang. Chen Cheng, Yan Xishan, Bai Chongxi, Yu Xuezhong  , Deng Xihou, Long Yun, etc., it can be said that the real big guys gathered together, and Lu Mingxuan's representative Nie Ziwen also came to Luoyang City on this day. Not long after arriving at the place of collapse, a very unexpected guest came to visit.  "Director Yan, why did you come to visit me in person? How can you afford this official?  " Nie Ziwen was shocked when he saw Yan Xishan coming to visit in person. Yan Xishan is a real veteran of the Kuomintang and can now be regarded as a prince. He actually came to visit one of his division commanders in person. This of course made him feel flattered. "Haha!  After learning that Brother Nie was here, I quickly came to visit Brother Nie.  Our Jinsui Army's attack on the Japs has been so smooth recently, and your 98th Army has been indispensable. This time I came here specifically to express my gratitude.  " Yan Xishan laughed loudly when he saw Nie Ziwen. "Director Yan is too polite. We are all part of the anti-Japanese war, and it is right to assist the Shanxi-Sui Army.  " Nie Ziwen can be considered a big shot who commands tens of thousands of troops. He has seen many big scenes recently, so he quickly calmed down. "You can't say that. Your assistance to our Shanxi-Sui Army is real.  It's not as beautiful as some people just say.  " Yan Xishan said very sincerely. After listening to his words, Nie Ziwen could only smile bitterly. "A while ago, I heard that your military commander was sick, and I should have gone to visit him in person.  But because the attack on Suiyuan was really busy with military affairs, and I was coming to Luoyang for a meeting soon, I couldn't take the time. I wonder how Commander Lu's condition is?  " Yan Xishan said with great concern. " Our soldiers' illness is an old problem. It will be cured in a few days. It's nothing serious.  "Nie Ziwen said quickly. "That's good!  That's good!  !  " Yan Xishan said quickly. "In fact, he is also an old fox. He could tell at a glance how fishy Lu Mingxuan's condition was. He said this just as a polite greeting. "Actually, I'm still here this time.  There is one very important thing.  "At this time, Yan Xishan said very seriously. "If Director Yan has anything to say, it doesn't matter.  ¡±  Nie Ziwen said.  "I wonder if Commander Lu has thought about what will happen after the Japanese are beaten away?" Yan Xishan suddenly whispered.  "What did you say?" Nie Ziwen couldn't help but be shocked after hearing his words.  "I wonder what your army's plans are after they defeat the Japanese?" Yan Xishan said seriously again.  "This matter is too far away. I heard that the Japanese are mobilizing the whole country. I don't know how long this war will last?" Nie Ziwen said with a strange look on his face.  He never expected that Yan Xishan would say such a thing. Now that the Japanese are still raging in Northeast China and Central China, he has already begun to think about what will happen after the Japanese are driven away.  "Brother Nie, you are not being honest. I have always regarded brother Nie as one of my own, and I have not concealed anything." Yan Xishan pretended to be displeased.  Nie Ziwen could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Of course he knew Lu Mingxuan's plan to drive away the Japanese, but could he tell Yan Xishan about this kind of thing?  "I heard that several divisions of your army are going to serve this month. Now your army's strength has greatly increased. I wonder if this is true?" Yan Xishan said.  "It's absolutely impossible!" Nie Ziwen quickly denied it flatly.  Yan Xishan looked at Nie Ziwen with dissatisfaction, but Nie Ziwen's expression did not change at all.  "Okay! Then let's not talk about this matter!" Seeing Nie Ziwen's stubborn refusal to admit his fault, Yan Xishan, who didn't want to fall out, could only wave his hands helplessly and said.  "When I came here today, I hope to sign an offensive and defensive alliance with your army!" Yan Xishan said very solemnly.  "Offensive and defensive alliance?" Nie Ziwen said with a confused look.  "That's right, after we defeat the Japanese. Maybe we will start a fight with the Communist Party, maybe we will start a fight with each other. Who can say for sure?" Yan Xishan sighed and said.  "I hope that our two countries can sign a mutual assistance agreement. If either party is attacked by a third party, the other party must fully support it, and our two families must not launch any military attacks on each other." He has always been aware of the strength of the 98th Army.  As you can see, both military production capacity and combat effectiveness are second to none in China. If they can form an alliance with the 98th Army, then the Jinsui Army will be able to sit back and relax in the future.  After listening to his words, Nie Ziwen couldn't help but think deeply.  After a long time, he said to Yan Xishan with a serious face: "I am not in charge of such a big thing. I need to report it to our military commander." "I understand this." Yan Xishan said quickly.  He also knew that only Lu Mingxuan could make the decision on such a big matter.  "I hope that Brother Nie will be able to express his feelings when he sees Commander Lu. This kind of thing will be of great benefit to both my family." Yan Xishan said to Nie Ziwen.  "Don't worry, Director Yan. I will definitely bring your words." Nie Ziwen nodded and said, but he was a little disappointed with Yan Xishan. It seems that Yan Xishan still plans to continue to live his life guarding his one-third acre of land.  There is no plan to hand over power.  At this moment, the soldiers outside the door knocked and came in.  "Reporter's seat, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the Presidential Palace. He said that the chairman of the committee wants to see you." "The chairman of the committee wants to see me?" For a moment, both Nie Ziwen and Yan Xishan were shocked.  (To be continued) PS: Thank you very much to book friend 140130013015698 for the reward and the additional monthly pass.
