Chapter 48

Time is like water. In 1925, another month passed. In March 1925, with the increasing scale of the national defense force, akado was worried about how to support such a huge expenditure secretly.

Because of the existence of the joint forces arms control commission, the German government can not spend too much money on the defense forces. Although the defense forces funds issued according to the scale of 100000 people are enough to support more than 200000 regular forces, the actual number of people is close to 320000, so the defense forces are still short of funds.

Akkado's inner business group of the great German Party has donated tens of millions of Deutschmarks for the rejuvenation of the German defense forces. Akkado's private companies have also provided nearly 1000 cars and 3000 motorcycles for the defense forces free of charge. However, the allocation of these equipment to 300000 soldiers is still a drop in the bucket.

Recently, because Chiang Kai Shek led the Huangpu Military Academy's training regiment to organize the first eastward expedition, he ordered 200 million rifles and pistol bullets from Germany, and purchased 30000 M25 helmets for future military expansion. German * industry once again obtained funds, and part of the payment for these equipment will be settled with Germany's scarce rubber and brass.

In the war-torn China, relying on loans from the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries to buy arms has entered a dead end. In the banks of these countries, China's loan credit has dried up. In most cases, for the long-term consideration of the United States and the British government, the amount of money lent to China is not as huge as before.

The German national defense forces, which most support the Chinese Kuomintang group, have no extra money to provide to distant China because of their own development needs. After all, Germany's own funds are also very tight. It has long owed France and Britain war reparations, and even owed its civil servants travel expenses.

Therefore, Chiang Kai Shek of China and akkado of Germany contacted each other privately by telegram, understanding each other's difficulties, so there was this kind of barter arms trade of buying German fire with rubber and brass.

At this juncture, akado welcomed a special guest, the diplomat Yamashita, who came all the way from the Japanese Empire.

"Hello, Mr. Yamashita." Akkado chose a private Krupp apartment in Berlin for the meeting because it was confidential, private and unofficial.

"Hello, general akado." Yamashita, as one of the right-hand assistants of the Japanese foreign minister, can be selected to negotiate secretly in Germany. Naturally, he is very excellent. His German is first-class, and he is very polite. He bows 90 degrees to akado as soon as he meets him, which makes people feel very good.

"Mr. Yamashita, bow is not popular in Germany. You can use handshake next time you meet." Akado smiles and says to Yoshiko Yamashita. The Japanese will not bow to a Chinese, they will only raise the butcher's knife to them. On the contrary, the Japanese will bow to the German - they still have to strive for self-improvement!

"Handshake is a kind of courtesy in equal relationship, but I'm afraid to use it because I'm asking for it next time." Yamashita said with his head down.

Akado laughed, then waved his hand: "no, Mr. Yamashita, at least we can be friends in private, can't we? You Japanese just like to make a lot of courtesy. I'm not used to it."

"Propriety is propriety. How can there be such a strange saying as empty propriety?" Yamashita asked, looking at akado.

Akado laughed: "my friend, to tell you the truth, if I don't have the strength, you will not respect me even if you bow to me. On the contrary, if I have the strength to make you fear, you will tremble even if you don't shake hands with me, right?"

"General akado is an interesting man. You seem to know us Japanese very well. If you don't have such a handsome western face, I even suspect that you are Japanese. " Yamashita said with a nod of approval.

Shit! You are the Japanese! Your family are all Japanese! Akkado angrily scolded in his heart. After scolding, he found that it was not right. He was Japanese at the foot of the mountain, so akkado scolded again in his heart: you XXX, you big XXX! Your whole family is big XXX!

Although he thought so in his heart, akado still had a smile on his face: "we Germans don't like beating around the bush. May I ask Mr. Yamashita what is the reason for his coming to Germany this time?"

Now the Korean Peninsula is under the rule of Japan. Have you brought back to Japan some habits of recognizing things at home? Akado sneered in his heart. I know why you come here. If you don't say it, I won't say it. I'll see who can be calm.

"It is * * * that we will come to Germany next time for the trade in the Far East and trade between your country and the Republic of China". Yoshiko Yamashita lowered his head to akado again.

I'm humble when I ask for help, but I'm firm when I stab. Acardo raised his eyebrows, then pondered a little, then said: "the Chinese market is very huge and attractive. I think enterprises in any country want to do business with generous Chinese businessmen, and we in Germany are no exception."

"To be frank with you, general Accardo, your country and China are in the arms trade. Recently we have * * * information, and a German Hercules class carrier loaded with ammunition has unloaded cargo in Guangzhou, which has brought about a great influence on the strategy of the great Japanese Empire in the area of China." Yamashita said angrily.

"Where does this come from? We have indeed provided China with a lot of arms, but I am not sure about the recent sale of arms to China. Are you sure the information is accurate? " Akado pretends to be confused and looks at Yoshiko Yamashita and asks. Nod: "we have our intelligence channel in that area. The news is very accurate. We even know that Sun Zhongshan and Jiang Jieshi's * * Kuomintang troops actually have more than 900 cannon, not 100 claimed outside, and they have sold nearly 500 cannon to warlords everywhere." At the foot of the mountain, he took a look at akado, and then said, "most of these cannons are advanced howitzers produced by German Krupp company. Chiang Kai Shek has also hidden dozens of planes and is secretly building an airport near Guangzhou. Shall I go on, general akado? " It's time to hang those traitors and traitors. Akkado thought that the Japanese can get all the information they want in China. The accuracy of the information is amazing. The Japanese already know the total number of guns and even the number of planes sold by Germany to China. What on earth do Chiang Kai Shek's anti spy departments do? They have no secrets in front of the Japanese like naked women. Akado felt that he might as well open the list of weapons secretly traded with China and read it in front of the Japanese. The Japanese in Fujian Province think that China's strength is too strong“ Mr. Yamashita, I have said that Germany has indeed sold some weapons to China, and your country has no right to interfere in the foreign trade of our businessmen. These include the arms business. " Akado some displeasure said: "even the joint arms control commission, also can't stop my * fire business profit behavior."“ Japan can cooperate with Germany in many aspects. We can buy a lot more arms and materials than China. " Yamashita took out the biggest chip he had brought this time“ We can earn more. If we continue to sell Chinese weapons, you will also buy our weapons to suppress China. That's two pieces of money, right? " Akado said with a smile“ How do you know we're going to buy your weapons? Our great Japanese Empire can produce its own weapons! " Yamashita retorted excitedly. Akado sneered: "you? Your weapons are not good. Our German weapons are the best in the world. " It's so special to get rid of hate! It's like saying that Japanese cars are bad in the past is always sour, but now that Japanese car weapons are bad is always with a sense of righteousness! Cool! How cool“ If the navy of the great * * Empire strengthened its patrols on the southeast coast of China, caught suspected smuggling vessels, and caught some of the transport vessels in your country, what should we do? Down the hill. He took a look at akado and said with a sneer: "after checking, Krupp may not have produced this batch of Germany * fire seized by us at all. The joint arms control commission will be able to get involved. "“ Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Then why don't you try? What are you doing here? " Akado laughed for a while and then said, "I can send a car to take you. It's not far from here. It's only about 20 minutes away." I would have gone if I could! Fortunately, Yamashita's teeth are itching, but he can't say it yet. Japan's intelligence agency has found out from China's intelligence of smuggling German fire that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are all tied to a chariot by the German interest chain. If Japan finds out this, it will break the financial path of Germany, Britain, the United States, China and the Soviet Union, and even the Netherlands and other countries - what's the difference between this and seeking death“ Then, general akado, how can Germany stop exporting weapons to China? " The bottom of the mountain leaving the sofa finally sat back, helplessly looking at akado asked“ Don't always think about China. In fact, Japan has its own friends in the Far West, right? " Akado said with a smile, a false smile on his face“ yes! General akado, you are the loyal friend of the great Japanese Empire in the western world. " With this sentence, he almost vomited out. Fortunately, he was a diplomat, a qualified diplomat“ Well, there's nothing you can't talk about between friends, right? " Akado continued“ yes! Exactly, your excellency general akado. " It's a little sad down the mountain“ Next, let's have a good talk about China's weapons. " Akado grinned and held out his hand. Yoshiko Yamashita was helpless, so he had to stretch out his hand and hold it tightly with the hand from the opposite side.
