Chapter 133 Collusion of Interests

.

Diplomacy? It is a kind of collusion and betrayal without eternal friends, without eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

As diplomats in the southwest, everyone remembers the words that Duan Guoxue warned, and they all remembered this clear explanation of Duan Guoxue's diplomatic activities at a meeting.

This time, facing many visitors, Duan Guoxue and his diplomatic and political team strictly followed this principle, making profitable and helping each other to be friends, and they have lost the value of using cooperation and no longer wasted time. Collusion and betrayal of various interests have gradually become a habit under the gradually mature and cruel mentality of superiors. Duan Guoxue did not know when he started to change like this. He just knew that now he is no longer the passionate young man, but every move, every word and action will affect nearly 100 million people. Sometimes, he has done a lot of things to give up the interests of some people for the benefit of the vast majority of people.

Duan Guoxue first met with Gorene and his diplomatic mission. The purpose of the German mission was very clear, which was to obtain several of the most advanced weapons production technologies in the southwest. However, as Germany was also in the process of recovery, it was unable to provide more mechanical equipment to exchange them. Duan Guoxue proposed to exchange them with Jews who were excluded in Germany; but the premise was that the exchanged personnel must be middle-aged, senior technical workers and various teachers, scientists, financial business personnel, especially financial business personnel. Although the southwest now has a good industrial foundation, the financial industry is very weak and fragile. The reason is that Duan Guoxue himself does not have a good understanding of the financial industry, and the southwest is also not as sensitive to the financial market as those in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.\\\*\\

The negotiating delegation led by Gorene quickly signed the first phase of the exchange project and quantity. Germany will use several (specific numbers unknown due to confidentiality) technical and technological personnel of Jewish descent to exchange the production technology and drawings of the southwest's 4-barrel 122mm rocket launcher. However, although this rocket launcher is extremely powerful and has excellent performance, it also has extremely high requirements for production technology. Therefore, the southwest also exchanged the production technology and drawings of the original 6-slide 12-air rocket launcher at a low price.

The Southwest resells these two rocket launchers because the Soviet Union has begun to conduct similar weapons research. In 1933, because several scientists including Einstein exchanged for the production technology of semi-automatic rifles, tearing machine guns and large-caliber sniper rifles that use Type 32 7.92 mm traditional ammunitions, as well as large-caliber sniper rifles, the Germans now cooperate with their own various types of artillery and tank armored vehicles, and they are also in the category of strong military.

However, as soon as you see this 40-tube rocket launcher covering the strength and area of ​​the strike at one time like a heavy rain, all German army officers' eyes were shiny and red. It can be seen that as long as a camp 40-tube rocket launcher, it can produce the firepower coverage effect of two artillery divisions at one time, especially this dense, continuous, indiscriminate, high-fire rate, and large-scale firepower coverage will be a nightmare for infantrymen.

Although the Germans really wanted to equip this weapon, the difficulty of the production technology of 40-bar rocket launchers revealed in the negotiations made the German military engineers who followed him frowned. Although Germany could also do this kind of weapon production requirements. However, the cost and the early construction of new factory areas require a lot of money and time.

However, the negotiators in the southwest immediately explained that they could transfer the production technology of the 12-slide rocket launcher of the primary 6-slide rail at a low price, which really excited the Germans. From the perspective of this initial weapon, although this initial rocket launcher is not only stupid, stupid, and has a short range and a small load, it is better because it is easy to produce and facilitate rapid equipment. Not only is the production technology simple, but the only requirement for production is the production of rocket propellant. 40-bar rocket launcher is really easy to use, but the investment is too large. Mass production requires a long preparatory time, but this initial rocket launcher can replace this period as a substitute. For this reason, Germany quickly reached the first phase of the exchange agreement.

At the same time, the signing site is the second phase of the exchange intention agreement. The second phase of Germany also uses personnel exchange technology, while the Southwest uses new fighter jets, 1,100 horsepower main battle tank engine technology, and key technologies that can improve the performance of a submarine as exchange content.

The negotiations with the Germans were very smooth. One side was worried about how these Jews would deal with them. The other side was demanding the skills and abilities of these people. Both sides had what they needed to win each other, so the negotiations were very smooth.

The negotiations with the Americans were also very smooth. The delegation sent by the United States did not involve much political matters, but only slightly asked the Southwest about China's political situation. This was not beyond Duan Guoxue's expectations. At this time, the United States had just emerged from the shadow of the Great Depression led by President Roosevelt. At the same time, isolationism was prevalent in the United States. In 1935, the US Congress passed the Pittman resolution aiming to keep the United States neutral. The resolution stipulates that the United States is prohibited from exporting weapons and equipment and credit during the war. The "current purchase and self-transportation" clause, which is valid for two years, authorized the president to require the belligerent countries that purchase non-military materials in the United States to pay cash and ship them with their own ships. Faced with the aggression and expansion of fascist countries, isolationism and neutral legislation are tantamount to acquiescent and condonation of aggression and expansion.

Moreover, Americans are more keen on economic recovery and pursuit of personal wealth at this time. Although the US delegation has the least official staff, they follow the largest private trade group members.\\\\\\\\\

Members of these trade groups were constantly surprised to find various commodities produced in the southwest, and keenly discovered the huge profits that these commodities could be sold in the United States. Therefore, negotiations with Americans were more about commercial products. The Southwest used the products purchased by the American trade group to require the trade group to directly purchase machinery and equipment in the United States to expand the production strength of the Southwest, because Germany, the source of traditional production machinery, can no longer fill the growing appetite for equipment demand in the Southwest, and Europe is also nervous because of Germany's expansion. Looking at the world, only the United States can meet this demand in the Southwest.

However, one situation that Americans and other forces do not know is that most of the production equipment purchased in the Southwest is basic equipment, and high-value-added high-quality equipment purchased in the Southwest is rarely purchased because the Southwest already has the ability to produce these equipment by itself. It is just that because of the production and confidentiality demand, purchasing from outside is also a good choice.

As for the representatives of various forces in China, Duan Guoxue only met with some representatives of the forces perfunctorily because the situation in China is very subtle and complicated. Duan Guoxue's ideological policies are destined to unify China by itself, and there is no need to have too much contact with these local forces.

The last Japanese representatives, Duan Guoxue, did not meet him, so he could not feel disgusted or uncomfortable.=== However, surprisingly, the official documents submitted by the Japanese side clearly disclosed the Japanese attitude towards the Southwest government, and was willing to recognize the Southwest government as a legal government and establish ambassador-level diplomatic relations.

In response to this, Duan Guoxue just finished reading the official documents and threw it into the garbage box. Jianguo? Just kidding, he wanted to make a country like Manzhouli come out to dismember China? Duan Guoxue would not be so stupid as to be trapped by the Japanese. If he founded the country, then the image of the Southwest finally established in the minds of the Chinese people will be completely destroyed. The title of traitor who split China must be implemented on his own head.

Duan Guoxue returned to his study office. Here, several blonde and blue-eyed people were waiting for him.

"Dr. Einstein, I'm sorry for letting you and your friends wait for a long time." When Duan Guoxue walked into the study, he apologized politely to Einstein. Although he was already a warlord with hundreds of thousands of armed forces, his politeness to a great scientist is the cultivation that Duan Guoxue, who is half a scientific researcher at the same time, should possess.

"Duan. I left my laboratory and came here to have a request." Scientists' time is precious, especially great scientists like Einstein. Therefore, Einstein made his own request directly without any nonsense.

"Please tell me directly." Duan Guoxue also clearly knew his personality.

"This is Mr. Amos, the external head of the Jewish National Foundation. As the introducer, my mission has been completed and I will go back to my office." After that, the old man left the study directly, and his simple style made the remaining Amos and others feel a little surprised and uneasy.

Duan Guoxue returned to his position after seeing the old scientist away. He saw the uneasiness of the people opposite him and said with a smile:

"It's Mr. Amos, you and your friends don't have to be so nervous. I can guess the purpose of your visit. Don't have to be nervous. Come, please have tea. This is our best Longjing tea in China." Two sips of tea were in their stomachs, and it seemed that the fragrance of the tea leaves and Duan Guoxue's friendly attitude made several people obviously relax their nervous nerves.

"A few days ago, I used some means to reach a partial agreement with Germany. I believe this is also your main purpose for coming to me. I don't know if your foundation has any dissatisfaction or protests about my approach, please say it."

"Our foundation expressed his joy and gratitude to Mr. Duan for his willingness to rescue our Jewish compatriots in the German region, and he had no dissatisfaction or protest." Through the translation, Amos politely answered Duan Guoxue's topic.

"Actually, there is nothing we can do about this. Although this is an exchange, as a human being, I don't like to use human life and dignity as a condition for exchange."

"You have been worried too much, and you can exchange for the lives of more compatriots. These dignity is not something that cannot be given up, not to mention that you can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jews." Amos and several fellow travelers stood up and saluted Duan Guoxue in honor.

"I plan to establish a special area in our southwest to accommodate these people. Of course you know, one of the conditions for your compatriots to leave Germany is to become Chinese nationality, oh, strictly speaking, the Southwest household registration. I will arrange their lives and work because I need them."

"We can deeply understand your approach, and for us Jews, your approach is also a way for us to repay you. "Have Mr. Namos been here this time, has he been authorized to cooperate further with our Southwest?"

"Mr. Duan is wise, I have indeed received some authorization."

"Okay, we might as well conduct further cooperation negotiations openly and honestly. Please rest assured that all the content we talk about here today will be sealed as our highest secret in the Southwest."

“So too.”
