Chapter 626 Everyone, our relationship with Shancheng is not a one-shot deal
There is a small conference room next to the President's office.
The conference room is not very big and can only accommodate a dozen people.
This is the place where discussions take place and decisions are made.
The leader's eyes are not very big, but once he looks at anyone, that person will unnaturally avoid his gaze.
"You all heard Guderian's words clearly just now. I think everyone here should know that the plan Shancheng proposed to us this time is the most beneficial and appropriate for us."
Guderian, who was sitting next to him, was still immersed in the conversation with Zhou Weiguo.
Those two hours were the fastest he had ever experienced in his life, and they were also the two hours that allowed him to improve the fastest.
Zhou Weiguo, a rising star in this mountain city, spent two days explaining to himself how to use bombers to first destroy the enemy's transportation routes, paralyzing their supplies, and then use tank armored groups to move forward quickly and encircle them, not giving the enemy any time to react.
After he came back, he carefully deduced this proposal. It must be said that it was really a brilliant idea. In Zhou Weiguo's words, this way of fighting is suitable for this ancient country because its military industry can keep up. No other country can achieve this.
Goering, the Luftwaffe Commander, thought for a moment, "Führer, now that we know the plan, can we just execute it? We can even tell the Japanese about it. That way, we won't have to give Yamashiro anything."
"You have a pig's brain." The leader waited for him to finish and then backed off.
The fat on Goering's face instantly dimmed. The Foreign Minister sitting next to him lowered his voice, "You're walking into a trap. Since Yamashiro proposed this plan, they have control over it. If you want to get rid of them, then the plan will appear in the British Prime Minister's office the next morning."
They dare to do this, you don't think they are not prepared at all.
Goering was embarrassed. He had heard that the other party wanted the production technology for 88mm anti-aircraft guns. This was a very advanced military technology of the Empire, and they just gave it to Shancheng.
He is not willing to give in.
Guderian did not think it was a bad deal. On the contrary, he thought it was a good deal. It could even be said that the Empire had gained a great advantage.
His views are also the views of the Führer.
He stopped dwelling on Goering's mistake and leaned back. "We need to understand one thing right now: what exactly is Shancheng's intention in doing this? Because we need to formulate a corresponding aid plan based on their purpose."
Several people looked at him with confused eyes.
Goering frowned and asked, "Führer, they have already requested 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Why do you mean we should also provide them with other assistance?"
The Führer didn't overly criticize his favorite general. He took a sip from the coffee cup. "The plan they proposed is the most complete and reasonable. They've even suggested things we haven't considered. This is about managing relations with the Northern Soviet Union. We need to establish an agreement to gain their trust. This will be beneficial for our future operations."
"We need to be tactful. There are some things that others don't say, and we can't represent them. We won't do them. I think this won't be the first time we cooperate with Shancheng, and it definitely won't be the last. I say this, do you understand?"
The exchange of interests cannot be completely fair, but it must not cause the other party to suffer too much loss.
This is not a one-and-done deal.
"Führer." Guderian stood up.
The Prime Minister glanced at him and said, "It seems you already have the answer. Tell me."
Guderian left his position and came to the map behind him.
With the assistance of two staff officers, the originally hanging map of the empire's controlled areas was quickly transformed into a world map.
Taking the command pole beside him, Guderian approached the map. "Your Excellency, colleagues, since the Japanese attacked Yamashiro, the city has lost more and more territory. Especially after the Japanese occupied Wuhan, some weak-willed individuals have defected to the Japanese. This has affected British interests in the Far East, so they have joined forces with several other countries to impose restrictions on shipments to Japan."
He paused to see that everyone understood, then pointed to the map again. "This was especially true after the Japanese occupied Xi'an. They increased transportation to Japan and stepped up support for Shancheng. But with Shancheng's defeat in Guangxi, their support routes were cut off. Shancheng probably didn't want to fight alone. So they wanted to drag the British into the fight."
Understood.
Everyone present agreed with Guderian's analysis.
The Führer pondered for a moment and nodded. "You are correct. The Japanese attack on Britain is not only beneficial to them, but also to us. Therefore, we must make this deal. However, we cannot give them too much in terms of weapons and equipment. After all, we are allies. We cannot go too far."
"Then we can only provide assistance in other areas, such as radio stations and medical equipment," the Foreign Minister suggested.
The leader thought for a moment and nodded. "Just let me know after you discuss it."
Special embassy.
Zhou Weiguo took Chaoxiang Xiuling and Minamizo Akiko out. There are many luxury goods in Berlin, and they plan to bring some back to Xiao Ya.
After seeing the three people leave, Song Wen went to the balcony and sat down next to Fatty Kong, who was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun, and asked, "Do you really think Berlin will agree to our request?"
"As Zhou Weiguo said, they had no choice. This was the result of a struggle for interests and compromise. To make their future operations easier, and so that we can assist them in completing the Japanese attack on the British Far East Governor-General, they must provide this technology."
"Don't they have any other choice? They are smart people. I've dealt with them before. They are very powerful."
"Amazing! You haven't seen how powerful Zhou Weiguo is. You don't even know how many high-ranking Japanese military officials he has brought down."
As for who those people were, Fatty Kong knew one or two, but he would never tell them. Not to mention Song Wen, he wouldn't even tell his own parents.
"No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. How can he calculate so many things?" Song Wen picked up the beer glass beside him. His heart was burning like fire. If he didn't drink some, he was worried that he would be burned to death by the fire.
Fatty Kong remained calm, which made Song Wen sigh after finishing his glass. "Are you really not worried at all?"
"You didn't see the situation clearly, so naturally you're worried."
"Situation?" Song Wen looked at Fatty Kong; "What situation is there to talk about here?"
