Chapter four hundred and fortieth incredible
Lina's family now has no choice. They are willing to accept Gao Jiu's advice. First, follow Gao Jiu to Taohua Mountain and decide whether to stay in Taohua Mountain or other countries depending on the situation. Bazer said he would go home and ask his parents for their opinions.
Gao Jiu only made suggestions to them. As for how to choose, it was his own business. Although he knew the progress of history, he was unwilling to force them, so he stopped talking about this topic.
The Germans are really efficient in their work. According to Gao Jiu's tip, the German Ministry of Industry organized exploration personnel to conduct exploration in the Ruhr area without stopping. In less than two days, they found the coal mine buried deep underground and immediately reported to the big man.
The big man was very satisfied and instructed the German Military Industry Department to hand over the batch of weapons that had originally promised to the civil government to Gao Jiu, and agreed to Gao Jiu to purchase production lines of shells and bullets in Germany, as well as other weapons and equipment. Of course, this money was not included in the loan, and Gao Jiu had to pay it out of his own pocket.
He Fengshan and others were ecstatic when they received the news and immediately sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Government, and Gao Jiu also sent a telegram to Lin Yanni.
Wuhan.
According to the original historical process, Wuhan has fallen at this time. Now some deviations have occurred in history, and the two sides in the Battle of Wuhan are still in a fierce confrontation.
Lin Yanni received a telegram from Gao Jiu and immediately drove to the military command.
"Father, my ninth brother has done the matter. The batch of weapons and ammunition is going to be transported back, as well as the production line for bullets and shells. The Germans also agreed to sell it to my ninth brother."
Lin Wenhan was very happy. Now he felt more and more that he had chosen the right son-in-law. He immediately picked up the phone and reported the good news to Minister He of the Military Command. Minister He was also very excited. He asked Lin Wenhan to go to his office immediately. The two of them wanted to meet the big shots in person and report the exciting good news to him.
Lin Wenhan said: "Yanni, you go home for dinner tonight and let's celebrate with our family."
The big man was very happy after listening to the report from Minister He and Lin Wenhan. He grinned and just smiled, and his dentures almost fell off. He said sincerely: "This Gao Jiu is really a character. He has made such a great contribution to the country. We must reward him well."
Lin Wenhan said with some concern: "Report to the big man. Although Germany agreed to give this batch of weapons to the People's Government, there is another question, that is, how to use these weapons back? Even if Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to pass through the border, the freight alone is a huge amount. How should the money be paid? Please ask the Military Commission to raise it."
When the big shot heard this, he felt a little headache. It was thousands of miles away from Germany to China, and the freight fee alone was unbearable. Nowadays, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the places where the civil government can collect taxes are less than one-third of the ones before the war. In such a tight financial situation, it would be overwhelming to take out this large amount of money.
The big man said: "I don't have money. Gao Jiu is a capable man. You ask him to find a way. As long as he can transport these weapons back, I will definitely reward him heavily."
Lin Wenhan dared not agree. This was a huge expense. Gao Jiu couldn't make the money himself. He also wanted to persuade the big man to find a way to allocate funds from the finance department to the military command as freight. The big man said bluntly: "I don't have money now, so you can find a way for yourself." After that, he picked up the teacup, which was the order to expel the guest.
The big man is really a bit cheating, but he does have his difficulties. The government's finances are really too embarrassing. The taxes from several major financial sources have been received for more than ten years, so he dare not increase the burden on the people anymore.
Minister He and Lin Wenhan left with a sad face.
Although this matter is a bit stressful for Minister He, after all, Lin Wenhan is responsible for this matter, and the person in charge is his son-in-law Gao Jiu, so the pressure is too great.
Lin Wenhan was really amused and crying. Not long ago, the excitement of hearing the good news that the weapon was about to be transported back had already disappeared. He now regretted it very much and made his own decision to let Gao Jiu do this.
Lin Wenhan had no choice but to ask Lin Yanni to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking Gao Jiu to find a way to transport the batch of weapons back.
Lin Yanni became anxious when she heard this, and she said, "How could there be such an unreasonable person? My ninth brother went through a lot of hardships to get the weapons and ammunition for the People's Government, and he had to pay for the money to transport it back. It was too much."
Lin Wenhan smiled bitterly, and said, "We must understand the difficulties of the country. For the sake of the country and nation, just tell Gao Jiu that those who can do it will work harder."
Lin Yanni had no choice but to send a telegram to Gao Jiu.
For Gao Jiu, this is really a heavy burden. The money he earned with great effort is really not enough for the shipping cost of this batch of weapons. Besides, why should he pay for it himself?
Ouyang Xue is Gao Jiu's confidante. Gao Jiu would not hide such a major problem from her, so he told Ouyang Xue about the matter to see what solution she could have.
Ouyang Xue felt very embarrassed when she heard this. Although she was very smart and capable, it was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Such a large number of weapons were not long and she could not return to the country by herself. What a huge cost to hire someone to hire a car for transportation. Even with the strength of her family, it was difficult to bear. Besides, even if she wanted to use money from her family to help Gao Jiu, their family would not agree.
Ouyang Xue thought for a long time but couldn't think of a solution. She had to say: "Brother Jiu, I can give you some private money. If not, let's choose some weapons to transport them back. I think some ammunition should not be transported back. First, we must transport the bullets and shell production lines back. Even if the urgent problem cannot be solved, the combat effectiveness of the guo army can still be enhanced by slowly producing."
This is the best way Ouyang Xue could think of. Gao Jiu felt her deep love for herself. No matter what the price this beautiful woman is, she is willing to pay for herself.
Gao Jiu is not a bad person, and he can't be a sucker to pay for this problem by himself, and it is even more impossible for Ouyang Xue to use his own money to fill this big hole.
He really wanted to reject this request directly, but this batch of weapons and ammunition is really important for domestic anti-Japanese resistance. He wanted to transport these weapons and ammunition back to China no matter what.
As Lin Wenhan said, for the sake of the country and nation, Gao Jiu decided to take over this matter. He replied to Lin Yanni by telegram, saying that he did his best.
Gao Jiu first arranged for Lu Zhaoming and Ma Yulin to receive the weapons.
Since Lu Zhaoming and Ma Yulin set out from Wuhan with Gao Jiu, they have been idle and have nothing to do. Now, it is finally their turn to go on the stage. The two happily went to the Military Industry Department to inspect the batch of weapons.
With Gustav's help, the German Military Industry Department was very assigned to each other. Lu Zhaoming, Ma Yu and others did a very smooth acceptance of the acceptance work. They quickly accepted the weapons, ammunition and equipment, and happily came back to report to Gao Jiu, urging him to contact the transportation company and transport the weapons back to the country.
He Fengshan and others were very happy when they heard that the German Ministry of Military Industry had provided this batch of weapons, ammunition and military equipment, and came to urge Gao Jiu to transport the weapons back to China as soon as possible.
They didn't know that the government refused to pay, and Gao Jiu had no money to hire a transportation team. Gao Jiu was unwilling to tell them the reason, because it was useless to tell them, and could only add to their confusion for no reason.
But Ouyang Xue is different. Although she is a smart, wise, generous and decent woman, she has a sweetheart now, and she is unwilling to let her sweetheart take the blame. So she told He Fengshan, Lu Zhaoming, Ma Yulin and others about the reason. Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
No one could do anything, and looked at Gao Jiu with a gaze.
Gao Jiu couldn't think of a good solution at one time, but he thought there was nothing in the world that could not be solved. As long as you are willing to use your brain, you will always think of a solution. He comforted everyone and said that he would definitely think of a solution.
Gao Jiu had already reached an agreement with the Soviets to transit the Soviet Union. The Soviet side would bear the cost of transiting the Soviet Union. They were responsible for transporting weapons to the Sino-Soviet border, and the remaining was the transportation costs within Germany.
Gao Jiu felt that the money could not be afforded, and he would never be so selfless that he would pay the money himself. He had to find a sucker.
Gao Jiu thought about it and knew only a few people in Germany, so he had to think of eight ways from them. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea.
Gao Jiu was very happy. He picked up the phone and dialed it out. When the other party answered the phone, he said, "William, come here, let's go see General Guderian together."
William contacted General Guderian and drove over to pick up Gao Jiu. On the way, he asked Gao Jiu why he went to see Guderian.
Gao Jiu told William about the incident. William felt very strange. He did not worry about Gao Jiu, but was very curious. He wanted to see how Gao Jiu could solve such a problem?
After spending time with Gao Jiu, he felt that Gao Jiu could do everything. He held the attitude of a student learning from the teacher and wanted to see what way Gao Jiu could do to make this cook without rice.
Guderian met Gao Jiu and William in his office. He said enthusiastically: "Mr. Gao, I heard that you are going back to China. I was thinking of inviting you to see you off before you return to China."
Guderian owed Gao Jiu a favor, not only because through Gao Jiu's help, he became the commander of the First Armored Army. The most important thing was to realize his dream, be able to command large-scale armored clusters, and practice his blitzkrieg combat ideas.
Gao Jiu said, "Thank you, General. I am also looking forward to having a private party with the general before leaving. Today, William and I came here because I remembered a question and wanted to ask you for advice from General."
Goodrian was curious and asked, "What's the question?"
Gao Jiu said: "It's still a question about the ideological practice of blitzkrieg operations."
Speaking of this, Guderian became serious and said, "Mr. Gao, please speak."
Gao Jiu asked: "What are the main issues you think that implementing a blitzkrieg is the main consideration?"
As he knew it, Guderian talked about the use of armored troops, and emphasized that he used the rapid maneuverability provided by armor to carry out assaults on the battlefield.
After listening, Gao Jiu said, "General Guderian, the reason why I came to you was suddenly thought of a problem. What you are talking about is the use of armored troops in the battlefield. Now what I want to talk about is the question of how your armored troops carry out long-distance transportation.
If there is a war now in eastern Germany, how can your armored forces be transported to the battlefield quickly?"
This time, Guderian was asked, because his Armored First Army had just been formed and the issue of long-distance transportation had not yet entered the agenda, so this issue had not been considered.
Long-distance transportation of armored troops is not an easy task. Highways are not good. They not only block traffic and plague local economic construction. Heavy tanks and hard tracks will seriously damage the road surface of the road. Therefore, both highways and cities do not allow tanks to pass through. Even if you take dirt roads in the countryside, they will seriously damage the road surface of those dirt roads. Moreover, many bridges are very simple and cannot bear the weight of tanks at all. It can be said that transporting from the road is almost impossible.
The transportation of armored clusters is usually carried out by railways, special vehicles, such as flatbed vehicles. It is extremely difficult to organize an armored force transportation involves all aspects. In order to adapt to the needs of war, the troops usually need to carry out pull drills, referred to as pull training, to cultivate experience in this area. Otherwise, they will definitely be blind when encountering sudden situations.
"I really haven't considered this yet," Guderian said frankly.
Gao Jiu said: "General Guderian, what do you think of Germany's current international environment?"
At this time, Germany had already begun to prepare for war and would attack Poland soon. Although Guderian didn't know what the decision-making level was, his idea of preparing for war had already received widespread attention among the senior German generals.
Guderian said: "War is indeed possible at any time, and the combat effectiveness of the German armored cluster must be formed as soon as possible."
Gao Jiu said: "General Guderian, I would like to give you a suggestion. I hope you can conduct a long-distance transportation drill. What do you think?"
Guderian was also a smart man. He felt that Gao Jiu would not be aimless, so he suddenly came to make this suggestion for himself. He also knew that Gao Jiu had recently obtained the approval of a big shot and obtained the batch of weapons and ammunition provided to the National Government by Germany. He thought for a moment and smiled: "Mr. Gao, I understand. You want my First Armored Army to conduct a long-distance transportation exercise and send your weapons to the German border."
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "General is indeed smart. Your First Armored Army has just been formed, and the number of tanks has not met the requirements of the standard. You organize a large-scale long-distance transportation exercise. In addition to transporting your tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment, you must have extra transportation capabilities. You can do me a favor by the way. Can you see?"
Guderian owes Gao Jiu a favor, and Gao Jiu's proposal is helpful to Guderian's armored army's experience in increasing long-distance transportation, and he has no objection to this.
He said: "I can propose to the General Staff Headquarters for long-distance training, but I don't know if the respected big shots will agree."
Gao Jiu understood the historical process and knew that the war madman would soon launch a large-scale war. Of course, he hoped that the German Wehrmacht would enhance his combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and he would agree.
Gao Jiu said: "General Guderian, please don't worry about this. I can tell you clearly that as long as you make such a suggestion, he will definitely approve it. Moreover, he will praise your enthusiasm for preparing for war."
Guderian also knew that the respected great figure now attaches great importance to Gao Jiu. Moreover, through contact with Gao Jiu, he believed in Gao Jiu's judgment ability.
He said: "Mr. Gao, I will draft a report immediately. If the respected big shot agrees to me to hold this training, your batch of weapons and ammunition will be part of the transportation of the First Armored Army training exercise and will help you to your designated location."
William was not very familiar with the military affairs, but he was extremely impressed by Gao Jiu when he saw that Gao Jiu was able to persuade Guderian to transport this large number of weapons and ammunition for him for free. He increasingly believed that it was a blessing to find such a great man to be a teacher and a friend.
The Germans were very efficient in their work. As a soldier, Guderian was more efficient in his work. He discussed with Gao Jiu on the spot and quickly wrote two exercise reports. One was handed over to the German General Staff, and the other was handed over to the general office of the big man directly.
As expected by Gao Jiu, the big man praised Guderian's active preparations for war and immediately approved his exercise plan.
He Fengshan, Lu Zhaoming and others never expected that Gao Jiu could actually ask the German Wehrmacht to transport weapons and ammunition for him for free, and they all admired them.
Ouyang Xue looked at Gao Jiu with admiration, wishing she could melt him into her eyes.
Wuhan.
