Destroying the Sun Chapter 66 Meeting
. "2 million Mauser rifles? Ha! Do they think Germany is the arsenal they opened? Take as many weapons as they want!" Chen Tian vented his emotions with a contempt expression. Just a few seconds ago, he learned from his special liaison officer for China's affairs that the new requirements of the Jiang family's Nanjing government - 2 million Mauser rifles and 1 billion bullets, as well as as many heavy artillery, tanks, aircraft, fuel, etc.
Chen Tian's liaison officer, Alexander von Meier, is a Prussian nobleman in his early forties. His grandfather and father both served as German ambassadors abroad during the era of William II. They are a diplomatic family. Alexander Meier is obviously following the footsteps of his ancestors, although he is currently playing the role of a microphone.
"Your Majesty, according to President Chiang's wishes, their army urgently needs these weapons to fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army! In addition, if we can provide them with a batch of heavy artillery and armored weapons, they are confident that they will take an offensive against the Kwantung Army within the year!"
Meier did not seem to have a strong reaction to Chen Tian’s adverse reactions.
"Take an offensive against the Kwantung Army? Well, but as far as I know, President Chiang and his army are in and about to carry out, but it is just an extremely disappointing civil war! Civil war! Civil war!" Chen Tian repeated the word "civil war" with dissatisfaction. There were probably not many people in this world who liked civil war, and Chen Tian was one of them. But in the far east, those people who didn't know what was in their heads were not only keen on civil war, but also good at civil war masters. Although there was a little difference from the historical trajectory, when the Japanese Kwantung Army devoted most of their energy to the power of the sea cucumber, the war between the Chiang national Xinming Army and the local warlords inevitably broke out.
At present, the "Central Plains War" for central hegemony is in full swing, and its scale and momentum are not inferior to the war between Germany and Japan across Asia, Oceania, Pacific and Indian Ocean. Before Meier came to report, Chen Tian had already obtained the exact situation from the intelligence personnel and military observers stationed in China. It will be the next two months for the Jiang army to win the war. Obviously, this war also consumes a huge amount of weapons and ammunition. Nanjing urgently needs a large amount of weapons and ammunition to supplement and reorganize its own troops.
As for the next plan of the Nanjing government, some people think it would be to go north to fight against Japan, some people think it would be to take a defensive and strengthen the Great Wall's defense line, and some people boldly believe that the Chinese army would go to Southeast Asia to cooperate with the German-Turkish expeditionary force to fight, but these are not the correct answers.
Chen Tian knew that Nanjing's next goal was "Annei". This time it was not the warlords, but the so-called "Red Bandits". Although the Russian Revolution missed success in 1914, the Bolsheviks had never given up their beliefs over the years. This idea that scared the monarchy and democratic system was introduced into poor, backward and oppressed countries at an astonishing speed and tenacity, China was one of them.
Chen Tian is powerless to change all this, nor can he change it.
"Your Majesty, President Chiang's full-time adviser has assured me that the Chinese government forces will devote all their efforts to the war against Japan after quelling the local rebellion! Because they have to face the powerful Japanese army, they need this batch of equipment incredibly! And..." Meier paused for a moment, received Chen Tian's "continue" sign and said: "And our German army eliminated a large number of old weapons last year. Among them are a considerable number of Mauser 1898!"
“That’s right.
The Imperial Army successively replaced 5.2 million Mauser 1898 rifles and rifles, and with our strategic inventory, it would not be a problem to collect 10 million! As for bullets, 1 billion rounds are just a small part of our inventory! Also, there are many cannons, tanks, armored vehicles and even aircraft that we eliminated before 1920!" Chen Tian told the straightforward German diplomat in front of him without any concealment, "Please tell President Chiang that our transport ships cannot arrive at the Chinese coast safely now, so we have to defeat Japan first!"
"Yes, your majesty!" Meir truthfully wrote all this in his mind.
"Remember to tell him, 'we' must defeat Japan first! Do you understand?" Chen Tian emphasized his tone, especially the word "we".
"Yes, your majesty!" Meier replied very hard.
"Also, please tell President Chiang or his full-time consultant. Spring is here, and the ice age in Zonggu Strait is about to end. The Japanese army is facing the Ku-Piao Astronomy--!"
Since Sasha was two years old, Friedridge always had such a scoundrel tone in front of Sasha.
"There are a lot to talk about, and I can't finish it last week!" Sasha said with a smile, "Let's talk about it next time! I was going to board the boat here today, but since I met Andres, I would postpone it for one day and then leave, but I can only postpone it for one day, so it's not good to let everyone wait for a long time!
My father said, I can go to Cairo and Jerusalem on the way!"
"Sister, it seems that you are really determined to travel the whole world before you are 20 years old!" Friedridge said with a smile, "Are you afraid of being locked up at home after getting married?"
"Nonsense! I just want to do a global trip like my father!" Despite denying Friedridge's speculation, Sasha's slightly red cheeks still exposed her true thoughts.
"Oh..." Friedrich deliberately dragged his voice to the end.
"Don't talk nonsense, how could our German eldest princess be locked up at home!" Andres's words finally helped Sasha to help him, and he followed him with a look: "Sister, I'll greet my father well after I go back. I haven't seen him for almost two months!"
"Well, I will! By the way, will your army join the battle next?" Sasha asked with concern.
Chapter completed!
