Rebirth of the National Marshal

The Chahar government received about 50 yuan in donations from the people of all walks of life across the country every month, which was not much money, so the Chahar government was almost unable to make ends meet, if all their expenses were bought with money. 1 million yuan a month was not enough, just look at the weapons on the battlefield, and you will know that the Chahar government army consumed nearly 3 million rounds of ammunition every month, which was more than the consumption of the entire German Wehrmacht.

According to the regulations of the government army, all recruits must fire 300 rounds of bullets before they can go to the battlefield. These 300 rounds of bullets cannot be from machine guns, but must be from rifles.

If you are an artilleryman, you must fire more than 100 artillery shells before you can go to the battlefield. Therefore, those who want to go to the battlefield to kill Japanese devils must waste every bit of their strength on the training ground until they can't get up on the training ground. Only then can you become an excellent soldier. Only in this way can you meet the requirements of the Chahar government's new recruits. If you can't even do this, then you can forget about going to the battlefield in your life.

Colonel Hans was very interested in Ulan-Ude. Every day he took his camera to take pictures everywhere. Mao Yuanshan did not stop him from doing this. He knew very well what the Germans wanted to do. These things would definitely be a great incentive for Germany after they were brought back. They would also use the Chinese as an excuse, such as, "See? Even the Chinese can defeat the Soviets, so why can't we defeat the Soviets?"

Mao Yuanshan was not angry at all about what they said. Even if you say that, we won't lose any weight. As long as you give us enough resources, just like this time, we finally got the coveted 150mm heavy artillery production line.

Maybe there will be a place to exchange them in the future, but there is no place to exchange them now, so we can only use this production line. According to the production capacity of the production line, about 25 cannons can be produced every month.

This number is already quite good. You should know that the main factory in Germany can only produce about 70 cannons per month, which is already 1/3 of their output. Mao Yuanshan is already very satisfied with this. You can't get fat in one bite. If you want to exceed the output of the Germans, then forget it. If Germany wants to switch to a wartime economy, they can definitely produce more than 100 cannons per month. If they work 24 hours a day, the number will definitely be more.

The reason why Mao Yuanshan did not discuss the prices with Colonel Hans in the past few days was that he hoped that Colonel Hans would take the initiative to come to him. If he went to find her, he would lose the initiative. He was really waiting for the money, but the more he had to keep calm at this time. Whoever took the initiative to speak first proved that he needed what the other party had.

Mao Yuanshan needed the money from the Germans, and the Germans needed the destroyers from Mao Yuanshan. It was such a simple relationship.

Actually, Colonel Hans was not very good at photography. He had hardly touched a camera when he was in Germany. The reason why he showed such enthusiasm this time was, in addition to the task assigned to him by the government, he also wanted to use this incident to irritate Mao Yuanshan and let him know that the Germans were not in urgent need of these destroyers. He also wanted Mao Yuanshan to make it clear to his friends and not to rush to raise the price.

In the past two days, neither side was in a hurry. Even when Colonel Hans was taking pictures, Mao Yuanshan told him some photography techniques. You know, in modern society, anyone who casually browses the Internet knows some common sense about photography. This made Colonel Hans look at him with new eyes. They got along very well in the past few days. Both sides did not talk about sensitive topics. They were almost like ordinary friends chatting about family matters.

But when it came to the fifth day, Mao Yuanshan still had no intention of negotiating the price, but Colonel Hans could not wait any longer. It would take at least half a month to return to Germany from here, and the people over there were already waiting impatiently, sending a telegram every day.

The content of this telegram had already been intercepted by Mao Yuanshan, who had some cipher machines from the end of World War II in his hands. Of course, it was easy for him to decipher the current codes.

Since he already knew the other party's trump card, he was even less anxious. Mao Yuanshan would have a pot of Biluochun tea every day and wait in his yard. Although the Siberian region was very cold, the sun was still very good.

"Why did you come back so early today, Colonel Hans? Shouldn't you have gone to the city to take pictures? Didn't my people lead you to the place? Then I should call them over and scold them, or your entourage ignored you? It would be fine to replace a few people." In the past, Colonel Hans would come back around five in the afternoon, but today he came back just after two o'clock.

"I've basically checked out this city, and there's nothing good here. Mainly because our country is pressing for payment, the headquarters has sent me an urgent telegram, asking me to explain the navy's matter clearly. I wonder how much your friend wants to raise the price to?" After sitting down, Colonel Hans drank a glass of Biluochun without hesitation.

At the beginning, he was not used to this kind of Chinese tea drink and still preferred to drink coffee. But after drinking it for a few days, he felt that it had a refreshing effect, so he liked to drink it more and even took some back with him when he was leaving.

"If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten it. I have already explained this to our friends. They also took into consideration that you are in a difficult situation, so they only added 500 million dollars to the price of each destroyer. I believe that you should be able to accept the price of 2000 million dollars. And as far as I know, this price is not high. If it is produced by other countries, the price will at least add a few million dollars." In fact, Mao Yuanshan has been considering that the price should not be too high these days. If it is too high, it will definitely scare them back. It should not be too low either. If it is too low, they will ask for more. What should we do? To what extent has the German Navy expanded at that time? This is likely to change the balance point of the European Navy, and it will not be good for the future history.
