Chapter 625 They Know, But They May Not Dare to Say
"Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, I think I should first state that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. We and the Japanese army are sworn enemies, but this does not mean that there are no conflicts of interest between the two sides. Similarly, our visit this time is naturally due to conflicts of interest. Of course, whether we can reach an agreement depends on whether the interests we each put on the table are consistent with our respective interests."
As he spoke, Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette and raised his hand to ask, "Can I smoke?"
"Yes." Guderian also took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat down next to Zhou Weiguo. "I'm here to negotiate with General Zhou on the orders of the Führer. You're right, interests come first. So, I'd like to know how we can properly handle the relationship between you and me this time."
Zhou Weiguo lit his cigarette and took a puff. "We each get what we need. You're worried that once a war breaks out, the British will immediately counterattack. I can draw the British army's attention to the Far East before you launch an attack. I think your leader would really like to see this happen, wouldn't he?"
"What should you do?" Guderian had to admit that this was the issue that the Führer and the defense department were most worried about.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled and said, "General Guderian wants to get something for nothing. I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate."
Zhou Weiguo smiled calmly. "Didn't you just say that exchanging benefits is a fair deal? So, why don't you listen to what we need?"
Guderian was restrained by his nose. He nodded and said, "Tell me, what do you need?"
"88mm anti-aircraft gun production technology. Also, optical instrument production technology. I think this won't be difficult for you."
Guderian, also the plenipotentiary representative, nodded. "Yes, it's not difficult for us, but why do you think we will give it?"
“It’s simple, because you need it.”
Damn, so crazy.
Song Wen's eyes widened as he listened to what was said. He had never dreamed that Zhou Weiguo would dare to speak to the people here like this. He didn't dare to do that anyway.
He wanted to speak, but when he looked up, he found that Fatty Kong was drinking tea, while Asaka Hiderei and Minamizo Akiko, who came with them, were eating fruit intermittently, as if this matter was nothing new to them.
He stopped talking and just listened attentively.
"Can you tell me more details?" As the plenipotentiary representative, Guderian wanted to know more details.
Zhou Weiguo stood up and said with a smile, "Do you have a military map? Of course, now that I've mentioned this, you already have a plan. I believe that in the near future, you will become the most dazzling marshal in this empire. As for this cooperation, I believe you will not regret it. If you feel that my proposal makes you feel that 88mm anti-aircraft guns are not enough to express your gratitude to us, you can give us medical production lines and tank production lines."
Damn you.
Guderian wanted to curse, but before he even started, the second request had already come down.
But he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "A fair deal is the basis for our next cooperation. We will carefully consider the situation and will not let Shancheng suffer any loss."
With this, Zhou Weiguo felt relieved. The Berliners kept their promises, and Zhou Weiguo was not worried that they would go back on their word.
He got up and went to the next room with Guderian, while Asaka Hiderei and others were waiting outside.
About two hours later, Guderian and Zhou Weiguo walked out side by side.
Fatty Kong saw that Guderian was smiling, while Zhou Weiguo looked calm, and he clenched his fists in his heart.
This guy got it done.
"Zhou, you are truly a military genius. I believe that sooner or later you will achieve victory in this war. I promise you that we will provide you with the 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Furthermore, we will provide you with another technical production line. As for what it will be, I need to discuss it with the Führer."
Song Wen was still confused.
At least when he returned to the embassy, he still hadn't figured out the situation. He asked Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting on the sofa, "What did you talk about with him? Guderian is a very strict person. I find it hard to accept that he praised you so much."
"I just told him about their troops' next plan after entering the Ardennes Forest, and their plan to paralyze the British on the Eastern Front."
Fatty Kong picked up the red wine and said, "Speak something we can understand."
"To put it bluntly, it was a blitzkrieg. After they reached the edge of the Ardennes Forest, their air-to-air fighters took off immediately, destroying the British and their allies' bridges and transportation lines, and bombing the airfields, thus paralyzing their enemies. At the same time, their forces split in two, one continuing the pursuit while the other assisted in attacking the Maquis Line and opening a gap."
"At the same time, they will continue to increase their forces towards the North Soviet Union to paralyze the enemy. After the war begins, they will quickly sign a friendly agreement with the North Soviet Union. Of course, the value of this agreement is their own business."
"What then?" Fatty Kong raised his head and asked Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo nodded. "What we need to do is to attract Britain's attention. This attention means that the Japanese Navy will attack the British Far East Fleet, causing a crisis and diverting Britain's attention to the Far East. This will buy them time."
"You are a little too naive. How could they..." Song Wen felt that this was impossible.
How could the Japanese Navy do this?
"Why wouldn't they? They don't have control over the military, and that's not what they want. Besides, it doesn't matter who did it. What's important is that the British think it was the Japanese army that did it. As for the attack, whether it was done by the navy or us is unimportant."
"You..." Song Wen pointed at Zhou Weiguo; "You told Guderian everything."
"Is there a problem?" Zhou Weiguo asked after looking at him.
Song Wen exclaimed, "You've told me everything. If they tell the Japanese army and let them carry out this plan, then your plan will fail."
oops……
He is young, he is young after all. He said that he still can't see clearly what is inside.
How could I tell them all this? If I told them, the Japanese army would know about it.
"What do you mean?" Asaka Hiderei did not allow anyone to question her man, so she put down her teacup and asked.
Song Wen sighed, "If they know, it means the Japanese army knows too. You don't understand this."
hum...
Zhou Weiguo snorted coldly, "They know, but they may not dare to say it."
