Rebirth of the National Marshal

"I'm so sorry, Colonel Hans. I should have met you as soon as I came back from Nanjing, but you have seen the situation here. The Soviets have transported a lot of troops to the border, and the Japanese have also begun to have intentions on our area, and their reconnaissance planes have already flown in. I have to deal with some urgent military affairs before I can come here. I hope you can understand." What Mao Yuanshan said was an excuse, but it was also the actual situation.

Colonel Hans basically understood the situation here. He knew very well that the current situation of the Chahar local government was quite critical.

The Soviets were increasing their troops on the border, which was exactly what the German government wanted.

Colonel Hans has been a little anxious these days, and he was also a little dissatisfied. Germans are naturally proud. We come to do business with you Chinese, but you hide and don't see me?

Now after listening to Mao Yuanshan's explanation, the anger in my heart immediately calmed down. After all, they are not hiding from you. They really have a lot of things going on here. After all, they don't have that much background.

So people could only deal with their own affairs first. Even Colonel Hans herself did not expect that just after Mao Yuanshan explained a few words, she actually started to make excuses for Mao Yuanshan. She originally thought that she would embarrass this guy when she saw Mao Yuanshan.

Now, not only has he not embarrassed others, but he has also excused them. In addition to Mao Yuanshan's excellent acting skills, there is another important reason for this.

It is because the German government cannot lose this friend, and the German Navy cannot lose this friend. If this ally parted ways with Germany because of Colonel Hans's emotional problem, she would not be able to take responsibility for this when she returns.

"Dear Mr. Mao, what you said are all facts. We are not the kind of people who make trouble for no reason. When I came here, our head of state asked me to convey her sincere greetings to you. She admires the fact that you have already controlled such a large local power at such a young age, and entrusted me to wish you to go further and further on the road ahead and become a firm ally of our German Empire in the Far East." If someone did not know Hitler as a person, they would definitely think that he could say these words, but Mao Yuanshan knew what kind of person he was. He was a more arrogant person, and it was more painful for him to say these compliments than to kill him.

"That's the best. In the past, I only heard that you Germans are cautious and pursue perfection in everything you do. I didn't expect you to be so considerate. We will become good friends in the future. By the way, are you satisfied with those naval warships we traded last time after you go back?" Only absolute strength can make others respect you.

If he did not have these naval warships and could not help the Germans to contain the Soviet army, his actions in the past few days would probably have made him guilty. Not to mention getting the support of the Germans, they might even turn the tables on him.

When talking about that batch of naval destroyers, Colonel Hans was really very happy, and the expression on his face became even more joyful. These things had greatly improved his status in Germany. Although he was also a staff officer of the German High Command before, some generals under him would not neglect him when they saw him.

"Dear Mr. Mao, I am really impressed by your friend's ability to get the British active destroyers. This is simply a miracle. Please forgive me for not believing you last time. This is really hard to believe. Even when I went back to tell the senior officials of my country, they didn't believe it at first. But when these destroyers appeared in the North Sea, they slapped these guys in the face. Even the most stubborn people in our country have to admire your ability. It can be said that we are quite satisfied, especially those guys in the navy. You also know that our country's Naval Academy is very good. It trains a large number of navy for us every year. But except for submarines, our country has few surface ships. You really saved them. They don't have to go home to farm after graduation."

Colonel Hans was really very happy. You know, when Germans speak, they always say useful words. They basically don't say useless words. This is directly related to their character. But Colonel Hans no longer had any reserve at this moment. He opened his mouth as if he was chatting on the street and couldn't close it.

Through this sentence, Mao Yuanshan also got a piece of news, that is, there are too many naval officers in Germany, and he will form a navy sooner or later. Can he make use of them? Of course, asking them to come to China seems a little unrealistic, because their country is about to enter a war, but he can send some domestic soldiers to study with them. This is worth considering, and they will probably agree.

No matter how strong your country's army and air force are, if you don't have a navy, it is impossible to gain your own position in the world. Just like Germany, the German army was invincible, and the German Air Force was also very powerful at the beginning of World War II.

But did the Germans gain their own status? Of course not, because their navy was useless. Not to mention competing with the British Navy, they were not even as good as the French Navy. Now, except for submarines, the German Navy had nothing to show for itself.

No matter how China develops, the army and air force cannot make China a great power in the world. Our country has 1.8 kilometers of coastline and a vast sea area. If we do not have a strong navy, we will ultimately be unable to do anything to others.

"Wait, respected Colonel Hans, I seem to have heard that there is a surplus of naval officers in your country. How about we start a contract? I also want to form a navy. Although we don't have a seaport yet, I believe we will have one in the future. However, I don't have any naval soldiers who can drive a ship. I wonder if you can help me train a group of them." Mao Yuanshan is also a person who will climb up when he sees a pole. Since you said that there are many naval officers in your country and there is nothing to do, it's okay for you to do me a favor.
