“The German naval dock in Kiel port requires four cruiser orders. If Japan doesn’t buy it, maybe the Chinese will be interested in naval construction.” Akado smiled and asked the mountain sitting in front of him.
Yamashita Konosuke lowered his head helplessly: “This is no problem, as long as the quality passes, Japan is willing to purchase 4 German cruisers.”
He had previously agreed to provide Akadol with US $ 5 million in funds to make up for the profits brought to Germany by the elimination of the continued export of helmets and bayonets to China, and he purchased 100,000 Mauser rifles at twice the international price and equipped them for North Korea. A local garrison composed of local people.
Of course, the ammunition used by these rifles is also provided by Germany. For this reason, Japan will import a bullet production line to be placed on the outskirts of Pyongyang City, and purchase another German standard 7.92 mm caliber bullets 100 million rounds. Akado also “generously” sent 30 outdated Makqin heavy machine guns from Japan.
Japan has no choice but to purchase 70 obsolete biplanes, because if these equipments are not bought, they will be sold to China, although it will not cause too much trouble for Japan, but if they do not buy these aircrafts, Akado threatens Japan will export a new Fokker biplane to China.
Although in the process of bargaining, Akado promised Yamamoto that Germany will modernize these old-fashioned aircraft so that they can carry a small torpedo. These aircraft will be responsible for the Japanese naval attack missions in North Korea- Although these aircraft are not much stronger than the aircraft they are using now.
Yamamoto’s visit to Germany this time was a charitable blow to Akkado. Germany negotiated and received much-needed 17 million US dollars from Japan, and Japan at least on the surface has completed the arms trade blockade against China, making the backward Chinese industry even more It’s worse.
“Don’t be so pessimistic, Mr. Yamashita.” Akado said with a smile: “We will send engineers to Japan to help the Japanese Imperial Navy manufacture the world’s most advanced submarines. I personally assure you that these engineers are the most in Germany. Good expert. “
Hearing this, Kosuke Yamashita’s face was a little more beautiful. After all, he came to Germany this time to have another important task is to obtain German support to develop the submarine technology of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
“We want your engineers in the Netherlands!” Yamashita thought for a while and said: “It must be a technical engineer who has participated in the production of first-line submarines.”
“3.” Akado extended three fingers: “We will send 30 technicians to support your submarine construction, but our technical engineers in the Netherlands can only go to 3 people.”
“We need 70 submarine manufacturing technicians, at least half of whom have participated in submarine construction in the Netherlands.” Yamamoto bargained.
Akado thought for a while, then stretched out five fingers: “5, a technical expert group of 50 people, there are 5 technical backbones involved in the construction of submarines in the Netherlands. There can be no more.”
“We …” Yamamoto was interrupted by what he wanted to say.
“We in Germany deeply regret the affairs of the Jiaozhou Bay in Far East China. Many Germans now have resistance to Japan. These are already the limits we can provide, and there can be no more.” Akado said with dissatisfaction.
Yamamoto Kosuke has an impulse to go crazy. In this negotiation, Akado used the Japanese act of sending troops to Shandong as a matter of fact. However, this time Japan was begging for people to visit, and was pitted by the victory he had fought, which made people cry and laugh.
“Okay! Five! There can’t be fewer! When I go back to China, these people will go with me.” Yamashita’s sad expression compromised.
“It’s no problem, but since these engineers and designers are valuable resources, we don’t recommend them to take the same boat, after all, don’t put the eggs in the same basket, right?” Akado said with a smile.
“In addition, we also need cooperation in the field of aviation,” Yamashita continued. “We want to cooperate with German airlines to produce new torpedo attack aircraft. This will also require General Akkado to help.”
“Which company do you hope to work with?” Akadomin asked, knowing the answer or pretending not to know.
“We intend to cooperate with Henkel, after all, we have worked together.” Kosuke Yamashita said with a smile.
Akado nodded: “It is a very good aircraft manufacturing company, and it is also very famous in Germany.”
Ernst Henkel ’s aircraft production company was founded in 1921 and stayed in Germany. Following this company, he invested in “an adventure game he called“ playing hide-and-seek ”with the Allied Military Industry Commission inspector. in.”
Henkel was a successful aircraft designer in World War I. The company founded in 1921 openly violated the “Versailles Peace Treaty” and signed cooperation agreements with the United States and Japan to produce a type of equipment that can be equipped for diving in these two countries. A small waterborne reconnaissance aircraft on board, he produced parts of these aircraft at the factory in the small town of Warnmund in the Baltic Sea, and then sent these parts to Sweden to assemble the aircraft.
“But I think we should have more extensive cooperation.” Akado smirked, like the devil tempting others to be fooled: “Only in this way can we show the friendly and mutual trust in technical cooperation between the two countries.”
“What do you mean?” Asked Yamashita with some doubt.
“We have many advanced weapons factories, all under the surveillance of the Joint Arms Control Committee, which makes our cooperation full of difficulties.” Akado spread his hand and said: “And you happen to be members of the Joint Arms Control Committee, Is not it.”
“What do you mean? I hope that our Great Japanese Empire will withdraw from the Joint Arms Control Committee? This is impossible.” Yamashita shook his head and said.
Akado also shook his head: “Of course not, but hope that the Japanese military officers in the Joint Arms Control Committee will provide intelligence to several of our companies to provide enough information to deal with surprise inspections.” Akado finished, looking at Yamashita Kosuke.
“This is no problem. We can provide information to Henkel for the benefit of both of us.” Yamashita nodded, but then made his own request: “But we only provide intelligence for companies that have military cooperation with us, you yourself We ca n’t control it. “
“Then talk about what equipment you are interested in.” Akado immediately said to Yamashita: “I think there are many places where both of us can cooperate.”
Yamashita thought about it carefully before saying: “Our navy needs a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. Henkel provided some data. This is an export version of a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft he secretly developed for you. We are very Satisfied, I plan to order a physical machine. “
“No problem at all.” Akado was very generous.
“We need 30 luxury cars produced by Daimler Benz Motors. 500 high-powered car engines. High-powered! Large enough to drive a very heavy car.” Yamashita continued lion’s mouth.
“No problem! I will provide you with five more latest models of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars in private.” Akado did not skimp on his own bribe, and extended a hand and said, “Not on the account.”
Yamashita nodded and said with satisfaction: “Thank you for your generosity! General Akado! I very much hope to be your friend without words! Tomorrow afternoon, I will let my naval attaché in Berlin to you Come here as a guest, what he needs to do, you speak. “
After sending off the Yamashita Kosuke, Akado’s face seemed to be filled with a smile as if wearing a mask, and he waved frequently to the car going down the mountain.
On the side, Gore asked, squinting, “Sir, do you really intend to abandon such a large arms market in China? General Sikter is still on the Chinese side.”
“Sickert suggested that Mr. Chiang Kai-shek build a military industrial enterprise in China, so in the next step, our export to China will not be based mainly on weapons and equipment, but on exporting simple military production equipment.” Akado waved and smiled Tao: “They’re fooled.”
“What about the two transport ships still in port? The bullets are all ready to be shipped to China. There are about 200 million rounds, and there are 2,000 Mark Qin heavy machine guns.” Gore leaned to Acador’s ear and asked: “Cancel Off? “
“Are you stupid? Cancel it? We refunded the money we received to our other Chinese friend Mr. Yan Xishan?” Akado froze, then reproached: “Is the handling fee cheap? Do you want to pay the bill?”
“What should I do?” Geer asked in a daze.
“Of course, they continue to sell to China!” Akado pretended to be displeased. “Change the departure time of these two ships. They left the port last night, didn’t they?”
“Yes!” Geer smiled.
In the car, looking at the retreating Akado, the eyes of Kosuke Yamashita also became sharp, and he snorted coldly: “Ba Ga, this **** German.”
“Yamashita, since this German is very unfriendly, why do you still agree to his later request?” Yamashita’s lieutenant turned back and asked on the co-pilot.
“I promised that Japan would stare at the Allied Arms Control Committee for him, and in turn could not stare at how many weapons and equipment were produced in Germany?” Kosuke Yamashita sneered: “The more companies he works with, the more we deal with Germany. The more detailed the information. “
“Well, that’s what it is.” The adjutant nodded suddenly.
On the other side, after smiling, Gore asked again, “Sir, then our companies let the Japanese help to stare at the Coalition Arms Control Committee. Isn’t the number of Japanese weapons and equipment we have in mind?”
“How many?” Akado laughed loudly after he could no longer see the car of Yusuke Yamashita: “How big are the real Henkel and Daimler Benz? I lend the information to the Japanese. None of them will believe it. Hum. “
