Age of Conquest Reborn

The Japanese could not defeat Tang Qiuli. Hitler knew this, and it was by no means a conclusion he drew out of thin air. Since Tang Qiuli was born in China, he could not help but become the real leader of that ancient and huge empire, and it was still under his command.

The troops fought against several powerful countries in the world at that time, and the battle on the Burma-India border with the British caused the British to lose the entire East India region.

Fighting against the already destroyed Soviet Union in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, the Soviets suffered heavy casualties. Millions of elite Soviet troops could hardly return to the European battlefield. The worst thing was that the Japanese lost millions of elite troops in mainland China.

, fled the Chinese mainland in embarrassment, lost the Korean Peninsula and Manchuria, then lost the Indochina Peninsula, and now lost the islands in the Southwest Pacific.

From Hitler's point of view, the Japanese almost devoted all their efforts to the decisive battle with Tang Qiuli on the Australian battlefield, but the result was not much better. Tang Qiuli, who completely defeated the Japanese, had a military power that even he was afraid of.

Strength, therefore, he instructed his subordinates to draw the attention of the Japanese to purchase arms to the Italians.

There is only one purpose for doing this, which is to let the Japanese consume as much of Tang Qiuli's strength as possible before they die. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. It openly showed favor to Tang Qiuli and secretly increased the force value of the Japanese. Hitler believed that

, Italian Prime Minister Mussolini, who is also one of the leaders of the three axis countries, will be very happy to do this big deal and achieve his goal, but this has nothing to do with Germany.

General Kelt, the director of military industry of the German Army, was an extremely shrewd guy. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the Führer's confidants. His specialty was not commanding thousands of troops to attack cities and expand territory for Germany.

It develops and manufactures the world's most sophisticated weapons and equipment for the German army. It has a large number of top military experts at its disposal. It also has the support of abundant material resources across the European continent and is an enterprise with strong military production capabilities.

In Admiral Celtic's view, the Japanese's small arms order could be delivered in less than a month. However, he fully understood the secret order from the head of state. During the talks with the Japanese, he told the Japanese frankly

Japanese. "As a member of the Axis Powers, Germany is very happy to provide its allies with the weapons and equipment they need. However, because the quantity required by your country is too large, the delivery time must be half a year at the earliest."

After that, and even longer!”

The Japanese became anxious when they heard this. If it takes half a year or more, why would they come to Germany? The Empire of Japan has the military production capacity and can solve most of the problems by itself. The key to the problem is that time waits for no one.

This batch of equipment is urgently needed on the Australian battlefield.

Things were at a stalemate here. Later, the Japanese gave in and asked Germany to provide one-tenth of the order quantity of weapons and equipment within a month. And the quality was not required to be perfect. In a word, it could be a temporary emergency.

!

Admiral Celtic told the Japanese with a smile, "I'm sorry, this is not the German habit. Every piece of German weapons and equipment must strive for excellence. In a word, products produced in Germany must be high-quality. So-so is not acceptable. Smash it.

Can you do anything about the brand?"

The Japanese were confused by what they heard and had no choice but to keep talking to the Germans. In private, Admiral Celt used complicated channels to let an economic counselor of the Italian Embassy in Germany get the news.

The content of the news is that the Japanese want to purchase an astonishing amount of arms from Germany, but the Germans demand too high a price and cannot deliver the goods on time. The two sides have now broken down the negotiations. The Japanese have a lot of money in their pockets, but they cannot buy it.

Got something!

After receiving the news, the Italian Economic Counselor named Zidya felt as if he had found a treasure. First, through private channels, he secretly met with Lieutenant General Nobutake Takakura, the chief representative of the Japanese Procurement Group to Germany, to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

After confirming the reliability of the news, Counselor Qidiya flew back to China overnight and asked directly to see Prime Minister Mussolini.

The Prime Minister of Italy and the leader of the Fascist Party, His Excellency Mussolini, after listening to Counselor Zidi's report, his face glowed with excitement. The Germans had caused a bloody storm in the world. Thanks to the alliance with Germany, Italy

He also shared part of the dividends, but Mussolini always felt that his confidence and ambition were not put into practice. He watched the German army fight in the North American continent, while the Italian army could only play a side role.

Mussolini knew that the cake of North American interests after the war, with Hitler's personality, was only a little bit left at the bottom of the plate. He was also one of the leaders of the three Axis countries, so he felt very guilty.

It's unbalanced. Now, the opportunity to make big money has come, and it's a big deal that the Germans can't do or are unwilling to do. So you can't blame me, Mussolini, for stealing business.

As for the new ruler Tang Qiuli in the far east of China, I have no friendship with him. There is no need to consider or worry about what the Chinese think. This big deal has been settled. Mussolini instructed Qidiya

, as the special representative of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, to contact the Japanese, these Japanese, who are like the God of Wealth, must be brought to Italy, and they cannot be let go without emptying every penny in the Japanese pockets!

After sending Qidiya away, Mussolini sent a telegram directly to Hitler, explaining euphemistically but clearly that you Germans can't do this business, but we in Italy can do it. I hope the Head of State doesn't have anything else in mind.

idea.

After seeing Mussolini's telegram, Hitler laughed to himself and immediately called back to his old friend, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, of course I am very disappointed that Germany has lost such a large arms order, but there is a reason for it, so

, I have nothing to say about old friends being able to provide the best possible help to Japan, which is also an ally, and Germany will not become an obstacle to reaching arms deals between old friends and the Japanese!"

Hitler's call back gave Mussolini reassurance. His only worry was that Hitler was feeling uncomfortable. Now, his worries were gone. With Hitler's secret instructions, Mussolini was showered with money.

It's dazzling, the Japanese are eager to buy arms, and the three parties are pushing it. Is there any reason why things can't work out?

The Japanese arms procurement group immediately moved to Rome, the capital of Italy. Mussolini personally went out to meet with the chief representative, Lieutenant General Nobutake Takakura, and his party, and hosted a banquet at the Prime Minister's Office. All the big bosses of the Italian party, government, and military were present. The scene was amazing.

A large and enthusiastic Japanese who had received a cold reception in Germany was almost moved to tears when he saw the enthusiasm of the Italians who were also allies. However, Takakura Nobutake was most concerned about the issue of arms.

He was not worried about the quality of Italian goods. Although the performance was not as superior as that of the Germans, it was not much different. What he was worried about was whether Italy could meet the urgent requirements of the Japanese Empire. So, halfway through the banquet, Gao

Kura Nobutake took out the purchase list and handed it to Mussolini respectfully. The Japanese were basically good at Kung Fu, and the purchase list had been replaced with Italian text.

Mussolini read the list carefully, pondered for a moment, and said: "The quantity is not small, but please rest assured, your representative, we will overcome all difficulties and deliver the goods on time. However, because the time is too tight, we need to meet the deadline.

Therefore, the overall price is increased by five thousandths. I wonder what your representative thinks?"

Takakura Nobutake looked at the fat-headed, big-eared Italian Prime Minister with a shiny face, and felt speechless. No matter how you look at it, the current Prime Minister looks like a profiteer who just sits there and raises the price. He calculated in his mind that five thousandths is still enough.

What is important to accept is that the Italians can deliver the goods on time. After the first batch of arms arrives in Australia, the next step is to negotiate a loan.

"Yes, our only requirement is that we must deliver the goods on time. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you also know that the Empire of Japan is fighting a decisive battle with the damned Chinese on the Australian battlefield. Therefore, on-time delivery is particularly important.

!" Takakura Nobutake said solemnly.

"No problem!" Mussolini agreed, his bald head shining with excitement, and his face was filled with the excitement of making a lot of money. Even though the ratio of 5 per thousand was very low, the base number was so big, 1000

Five is a lot of money!

The arms deal that Japan urgently needed was concluded at the welcome banquet. Takakura Nobutake was also very happy, and finally fulfilled his mission. Mussolini was even more happy. Anyone who makes money is happy. The guests and hosts frequently raised their glasses and spoke enthusiastically.

, pushing the friendship between Italy and Japan to the forefront!

Mussolini patted his chest and agreed to the Japanese request, but the generals in charge of arms production were so anxious that they repeatedly looked at the Prime Minister, who was very excited about the matter, and reminded him to hold on tight.

He said, but the Prime Minister was so immersed in the excitement of making a lot of money that he didn't even notice the winking expressions of his subordinates.

The Italian generals in charge of arms production know that the Prime Minister is boasting. According to the delivery time required by the Japanese, even if all the domestic military industry enterprises operate at full capacity and the workers do not eat, drink or rest, it is impossible to complete the delivery on time.

Of course, losing credibility is a trivial matter for orders, but if you lose a big customer who has a lot of money, and you can't make any subsequent money, then the gain outweighs the loss!

The banquet to welcome the God of Wealth from Japan ended very late. Mussolini, who was slightly drunk, was flushed. The generals following him had frowning faces. When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, the Prime Minister was still sober.

At this moment, the generals in charge of military production shook off all their worries.

He said without complaint: "Prime Minister, with Italy's military production capacity, there is no problem in completing the order, but the key is that the time required by the Japanese is too tight, and you agreed too hastily!"

Mussolini was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "The key to a problem that is easy to solve is to use your brain when encountering problems!"
