Chapter 124: Forming an Anti-Soviet Alliance
Chapter 124: Forming an Anti-Soviet Alliance
Rudolf stayed in the Northeast for four full days, during which time he visited almost all the cities and important factories in the Northeast.
Of course Xu Yan accompanied me throughout the whole process!
On the fourth day, the two had another long conversation.
"Xu, forgive me for being blunt. Although I am not an expert, I can see that your current industrial system is quite weak. Your steel production is too low. Although everyone shows me their signature confident smile, it is difficult to achieve substantial development at the current level!"
"We Germans produce 2000 million tons of steel every year. How much do you have? Your industrial level is really too poor. Excuse me, I'm afraid your industrial level is not enough to support your ambitions."
Xu Yan felt very heavy in his heart. He knew that what Rudolph said was true, but what could he do? His foundation was too weak!
Seeing that Xu Yan did not respond, Rudolf continued, "I know that you have signed a secret treaty with the Soviet Empire, but from what we know, the Soviet Empire's intentions towards the Northeast are not simple! You should make preparations early."
Xu Yan finally knew the real purpose of Rudolf's visit! This guy was here to stir up trouble!
"Rudolf, let's be frank. We are now in a secret war with the Soviet Union! This should be the result you want to see! If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. It's giving me a headache."
Xu Yan crossed his legs and said with a relaxed look on his face.
"Xu, the Soviet Empire will sooner or later be a problem for our two countries! In the east, he wants to annex the Northeast, and in the west, he wants to annex Saudi Arabia and Finland. I am actually the one supporting these two countries! I hope we can reach a consensus on opposing the Soviet Union!"
"Sure, no problem! But what about the benefits? You know that the Soviet Union has provided me with a large amount of machinery and equipment, as well as weapons and equipment. What can we gain by forming an anti-Soviet alliance with you?"
Rudolph was stunned by Xu Yan's words. He didn't expect this guy to be so direct and not hide anything at all!
"Xu, you don't look like a politician, you look more like a businessman! A profit-seeking businessman!"
"Haha, you're right. We are so poor. My support for you has almost drained my savings. So now that you're here, I have to take advantage of you and collect some interest!"
"Xu, you really are a person who speaks the truth! In this case, I believe you have already prepared a list! Then take it out!"
"Haha, that's great!" Xu Yan clapped his hands, and Hu Ruoxue took out the list with a red face.
Hu Ruoxue was indeed a little embarrassed. She still remembered clearly how Xu Yan drew up the list last night. He looked like a typical profiteer!
Rudolph took it nonchalantly. As he watched, Rudolph's face became uglier and uglier. In the end, Rudolph almost felt like crying but had no tears.
"Xu! Tell me the truth, how do you know all this?" Rudolph was a little confused, because many things here are still top secret!
"Then forget it. There are no absolute secrets in the world! This is my bottom line! Of course, we can purchase some of them, but the price is just like that. You know, we are old friends, and you will definitely not ask for too much!"
Xu Yan said with a rogue look on his face.
This includes Germany’s latest machine guns, artillery, anti-aircraft guns, fighter planes, forging machines, machine tools... and so on and so forth, a total of more than one hundred items!
Rudolph's mouth twitched when he saw this!
"Are you serious?" Rudolph asked twitchingly.
"We can talk, but you don't have to be like this." Xu Yan still had that harmless smile on his face.
"How can we talk about this! This contains a lot of our latest technologies!" Rudolph rolled his eyes and gave Xu Yan a look.
"Everything can be negotiated. I offer the price, you bargain, let the people below negotiate boldly."
"Then let's talk!" Rudolph wiped his forehead and smoothed a strand of hair on his forehead.
On the fifth day, Rudolf took a special plane back to Germany. Ye Fan, Wang Zhuguo, Liang Hengze, Jing Chao, Wang Changyu and others also left on the same plane. Their only mission was to get the latest technology from Germany! Get the aid equipment!
Looking at the flying plane, Xu Yan let out a long sigh and returned to his official residence.
Xu Lanchun has returned from Japan.
Seeing Xu Yan come in, Xu Lanchun stood up immediately.
"Minister Xu, thank you for your hard work! Please sit down," Xu Yan greeted warmly and personally made a cup of tea for Xu Lanchun.
Xu Lanchun was somewhat flattered!
"Headmaster, you are truly amazing! Japan is not a monolithic country! The conflicts between the cabinet and the military are complicated! Foreign Minister Tanaka even said that the cabinet was not aware of the Mukden Incident that year, and it was the military and its officers who made the decision on their own!"
"This is normal. This is their tradition. Whether they agree or not, they are all united in occupying our Northeast! How are the loan negotiations going?"
"It's going well. Prime Minister Suzuki has said that he can provide us with a low-interest loan of 2 billion yen, but..."
Xu Lanchun hesitated, glanced at Xu Yan and continued, "They hope that we can use the Nankou Coal Mine as collateral!"
"What a joke! Tell him we don't have any collateral, so he can borrow from us if he wants. I'm not afraid if he doesn't lend to me!"
Xu Lanchun was speechless. How could this be called asking for a loan? He was even more arrogant than the person who lent the money! Wasn't this just pure brain disease?
The head of state in my own country really doesn't play by the rules!
"Don't worry. I don't expect to reach an agreement even if we can't. Tell them to control their troops! Otherwise, I don't mind crossing the Baishui River! Don't feel burdened and talk to them! Also, tell them that we will use the money to fight against the Su State and prevent it from moving south!" Xu Yan said indifferently.
You are a high-ranking official, so you have the final say! Xu Lanchun muttered to himself, and quickly returned to his Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact Japan.
"Yan, what are you doing?" Hu Ruoxue was a little confused. What on earth did Xu Yan want to do?
"Xue, let's get married!" Xu Yan suddenly said without thinking.
"Ah?" Hu Ruoxue was shocked when she heard Xu Yan's words.
"Why don't you want to?" Xu Yan felt a little disappointed.
"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to...you would say this!" Hu Ruoxue's fair face was flushed and felt hot.
Xu Yan grabbed Hu Ruoxue and held her in his arms, "Ruoxue, I think about you every moment. I don't know when this battle will be over. I can't wait any longer! I want to marry you! Do you know? I feel lonely every night! I miss you so much. I want you to be by my side!"
"Yan, me too!"
When their eyes met, intense sparks flew, and the atmosphere in the room became hot. The distance between the two kept getting closer and closer, and finally their hot red lips kissed each other!
Even the birds outside the window seemed to be shy and couldn't bear to watch, so they flew away chirping!
Just when the love was at its peak, an inopportune voice suddenly rang out.
"Führer! Minister Chen wants to see you!"
Lin Hu shouted outside the door in a loud voice.
Hearing the voice, Ruoxue quickly broke free from Xu Yan's arms and ran out with a red face like a fly!
This scared Lin Husan and Chen Shu who were standing at the door.
Lin Husan looked confused, while Chen Shuo secretly groaned, saying that today was not the right time!
"Lin Husan! You are a shameless thing! I will send you to the front line!" Xu Yan looked depressed and shouted loudly!
Lin Husan, this fool, actually didn't understand what Xu Yan meant. He stood at attention and said seriously, "Really? Head of State! Then I hope to go to Baishui River!"
"Get out! Get out of here!" Xu Yan waved his hands unhappily.
Chen Shuzha walked in courageously.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If it's not important, I won't let you go!" Xu Yan rolled his eyes and said.
"Führer, the spy hiding among us has been found!"
"What? Found it? Who is it?!"
