He sighed and said to John, "My grandfather said that about half of the forts were built during a war, and they are now stepping up their modification, but most of them can follow the original things because of lack of materials."
"Then how to stop the German attack?" When John first heard that London was so dangerous, he couldn’t help asking.
"To tell you the truth, the defense facilities were already very strong two years ago, and some major areas were well prepared. I think there should be no problem?" The signalman thought for a moment and said, "Leave it to fate!"
After saying this, he said goodbye and started the motorcycle. As the engine roared, it disappeared around a street corner.
John looked at something lying at his feet and the signalman gave him a sack when he left. If it was less than half the current price in peacetime, John gave a wry smile. John put the sack on his shoulder and wanted to take it back to the hole to deliver the food to his wife.
However, he found several volunteers in rags around him, one by one, hesitant and seemingly wanting to talk.
Of course he knows what these people want to do. He is not in a hurry, but waiting for these people to speak first. In front of these volunteers, he is the kind of well-informed military leader, just like a signalman or a backer in his eyes, sir.
After a few seconds of stalemate, a man finally took the lead in saying, "Sir, can you give us some of these foods?" He didn’t say anything, but his face was clear that they were waiting for an answer.
"That depends on how much money you have," John replied. "You must have seen that I also spent money on saving lives. I won’t do it!"
"I have 3 here!" The man was very well-advised and took out his own money. He had to take out more money because several mouths at home were waiting for him to take food back.
"I also have 3 here!" Another person also rushed to pay the money, but the last volunteer seemed to be short of money, and his face was flushed but he couldn’t get the money.
"Butter flour!" John took out the things, left bread and dried fish with a bag of flour, skillfully stuffed the money into his pocket, and then walked back with the leftovers. According to the value, it was almost for nothing that he had sacks and food in his hand
After walking a street, he found that the man with no money still followed him, his face was red, but he hesitated to say anything. John didn’t say much and threw the dried fish to the man. "Go back and help me keep an eye on what’s wrong and come to me!"
The man nodded gratefully. "Thank you! I will repay you. "With that, I ran back to John with the dried fish in my arms to take charge of the ruins.
John came to the entrance of the tunnel on the street and took the stairs that looked a little steep. The dead body had long since disappeared, but the blood and rubble still proved the story that had happened.
Every time he passes by, he will take a look at the corner, the pool of blood and the gravel covered with dust.
"Dear" saw his wife and children, and John was in a good mood. He trotted over and picked up his child and handed the food to his wife. "I got some flour for Mrs. Mary."
Mrs. Mary is the wife of their new neighbor, John, the officer who backed the mountain. Their family moved in with the John family the day before yesterday. Like all British people, it is getting harder and harder today.
Chapter 399 399 China guests
Arcado quietly toyed with a blue-and-white porcelain vase from far away China, which was given to him by General China as a gift. Although it was not an antique, it definitely had an orphan value. German and Chinese made this vase look a bit nondescript, but it was written by a valuable legalist in later generations.
Sickert’s old general’s reputation in Nanking is no worse than that in Berlin, arcado. The reason is that this old general has brought earth-shaking changes to China’s national defense. These changes are not those fancy manners and obscure theories, but things that actually make Chinese people strong.
It was an arms industrial base with more than two supporting production lines established in Wuhan and Chongqing. It was to personally arrange trenches and bunkers to demonstrate each machine gun position, such as hidden as cross fire and accurate data. It was to describe the appearance of World War I in his mind to the Chinese people and build the Chinese team into a new army in the East by himself.
The old man with closed eyes in China had to love to wear clothes like relatives. With this affinity, arcado was interested in supplying China with arms and production facilities when the German Defence Force was developed. After China was captured by the Japanese, he naturally thought of this "European friend."
So the special envoy of the Republic of China carrying the hand of the generalissimo is now so embarrassed by German head of state arcado? It is natural for Rudolph to ask for a gift and talk about human feelings in front of him.
The special envoy finished the long-standing revolutionary friendship between the two countries and praised the great achievements of sickert’s old general. Seeing that he still had to talk about the future prospects of China and Germany, arcado was not interested in dealing with this meaningless bureaucratic ceremony, so he interrupted China’s special envoy and said, "You have come to sing praises. I can’t listen to vanity. When everyone is talking about business!"
So the diplomatic conference that could have lasted for two hours or even longer was left with the word "shriveled beggars"-begging for support, the China army saw the German e19 fighter plane and lost everything, hoping to buy five more such fighters. The Chinese army had a bigger appetite and saw the German anti-tank rocket launchers and sniper rifles, but the navy didn’t want anything-because it was almost wiped out.
"Fighters are not a problem. I can sell you seven." arcado smiled and nodded and agreed to the request of Special Envoy China. "But instead of talking to me, you can talk to Romania about the fact that they have ready-made fighters and production capacity. Just talk to them about this deal-I will give you a letter and give it to their leader. He will give you a fair price."
E19 is now a real fighter in the world. China, Japan, Romania, Italy, France and even Britain all make fighter planes affordable in almost the world. More than half of the countries are e19.
"We really can’t do anything about iron fist rocket launchers and sniper rifles," arcado said regretfully. "But don’t worry, I can introduce you to two alternative weapons that you can buy from other friends."
He smiled and walked to the side of the huge globe in the office, gently fiddled with his hand to make the globe turn, and then pressed the mouth of Soviet territory with one hand and said, "Buying their technical large-caliber anti-tank guns is not as powerful as iron fists, but it is more than enough to deal with the Japanese tin cans."
"Thank you, Fuehrer, for your generosity." Special Envoy China was of course satisfied with German Fuehrer arcado’s response, and his smile became even brighter.
I don’t blame him for being so impatient. After 14 years, China’s diplomatic road is a long scroll full of humiliation and bitterness. Every diplomat representing China can drag out an ignoble existence in the cracks, and rarely ends up in ruin.
However, since the German head of state officially came to the front desk in 1925, it seems that China’s diplomatic environment has improved by more than a little bit. Everything that was done by the former method can find a breakthrough in German diplomacy here, and China has realized the dream of a strong country to a certain extent through Germany’s complementarity and alliance, which has made all diplomats stand upright and emboldened-of course, they are more grateful to Germany.
"But Mr. Special Envoy, I don’t know what to say here." arcado suddenly said in a tone of discussion. "I, the German head of state, is an outsider and it is not good to say anything casually. I am kind enough to suggest it without putting this conversation record in the diplomatic memorandum. Can you understand it?"
As soon as his voice fell, three secret departments responsible for recording diplomatic memos stood at attention and saluted a German ceremony, and then he left, which made China’s special envoy marvel at the German potential and majesty of the German head of state.
Thought of here, China’s special envoy would certainly not disobey his benefactor and immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Fuehrer, if you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to pass your words to the generalissimo intact."
Aka thought about it for a while and said, "Your Nanjing defense line must have suffered a big loss of ammunition and weapons. The current situation is self-deception rather than bad. Don’t rush to deny that you can deceive others, but you can’t fool me … Although our technicians helped you find several small iron mines in some areas, you have enough supplies to fight what kind of war. I know almost as much as your chairman."
Speaking of which, arcado patted his face a little embarrassed. Special Envoy China continued, "So I am very responsible for telling the chairman that it is very unrealistic to rely on China to fight with Japan alone. Once Japan is exhausted and the land in China is dead, it will compromise with the United States, and eventually the two sides will reach an agreement, so the three northeastern provinces of China, especially North China, will never get it back …"
He is not alarmist. Once he discovers that he has occupied China legally, he will compromise with the United States and digest the northeast occupied area. At that time, China will not be able to counterattack. In the end, it is easy to form a forced recognition of the independence of the three northeastern provinces. This is certainly not a situation that China wants to see or that even arcado does not want to see.
Germany’s aid to China is really to delay the strategic deployment of Germany and Europe when Japan and the United States are in direct conflict. However, the degree of aid to China has been somewhat failed. Now it seems that it is a bit too much to give, and it will be too much for the future.
In case Japan completely gives up the idea of confronting the United States, arcado will lift a rock and drop it on his own feet. The terrible war potential of the United States will overwhelm the future German side, and arcado will just flip over the Pacific War and know that the consequences are as he is, and he is unwilling to try it easily.
Now he has to condescend to discuss the future world situation with China, which is not a world power in the Far East. "It is easy to resist Japan by relying on China’s own efforts, and it will be hard for Japan to retreat for second time. Splitting China will have an adverse impact on China’s development in the future, so you should try to make Japan challenge the United States."
"Mr. Fuehrer, I know what you said is very reasonable, but it takes great courage to do so, and there are many ways to predict the subsequent crisis …" China’s special envoy is obviously not stupid, or China has considered arcado’s plan.
This plan is to give up a part of the territory, expand the crisis caused by Japan and China, and let the interests of the United States, Asia or the Far East and Southeast Asia continue to expand. The obstacles induce Japan to go to Southeast Asia and fight hard with the United States, but it is the same risk. If the two countries of Japan and the United States are not appropriate, it is tantamount to saying that China has ceded a large area of territory in vain-this is definitely not a good thing.
"They must make mistakes! If they don’t make mistakes, Germany will be defeated and at least half of China’s territory will become a thing in the bag! " Arcado looked out of the window and said, "We must gamble our lives, our souls and everything … to fight for the future of a nation we love most."
He turned around and said, "Please believe that I have no malice towards the ancient Chinese nation."
German is quite good. China’s special envoy was stunned and then suddenly looked at the tall German head of state in front of him. His eyes were full of curiosity. After a long time, he slowly spoke Chinese and replied, "Please rest assured that I will tell the chairman the words of the head of state intact."
Then he asked in German, "Mr. Fuehrer, can I ask you a presumptuous question? When was Germany an ally, but Germany helped the weak China to invade Japan? "
Akado smiled brightly. "Mr. Special Envoy, at present, Japan and Germany are allies, but in the long run, Germany is more willing to be allies with a powerful China. I have planted a kind plant now, and in a few years, it will produce beautiful and gorgeous flowers-it will change the whole world if it bears fruit!"
"It seems that you see that many people in China can’t believe the future … will we be strong enough to control the world?" Special Envoy China’s eyes are full of longing.
"As long as you don’t give up and advance like the Germans, you can wait for the answer," arcado replied with a smile.
Chapter 4 4 Mountain Visit
Special envoy China’s conversation made arcado feel better. I have to say that the profound cultural heritage of China, the oldest ancient country in the world, is not surpassed by some plagiarists-even imitation is difficult.
Arcado took the initiative to talk about the sinking of the No.5 aircraft carrier, the Baltic Sea, by a British submarine, which made Special Envoy China truly realize the cruelty and bloodiness of the European battlefield. It was not smooth for Germany to sing the triumph all the way, and it was not blindly beaten than Britain. Hundreds of thousands of tons of warships were sunk, and the Atlantic competition between the capital ships of both sides made Special Envoy China fascinated.
"Mr. Fuehrer, Britain, an old capitalist power, has a very deep foundation. After enduring a painful defeat, they can still come up with their strength to sneak attack on the Baltic Sea. The information revealed in it is still worth your deep thinking." China’s special envoy Cheng Bugong said, "I think the British will not only not surrender, but will also resist more fiercely."
