Rise From Eight Hundred

"Dear Tang, it has been more than a year since we parted in the early summer of that year. Look at my beard, it has turned a lot whiter!"

After being politely pushed away by Tang Dao, the middle-aged uncle held Tang Dao's hand, his face full of true feelings.

"Mr. Rostav, I think you are not thinking about me, but the US dollars in my pocket!" Tang Dao calmly saw through the ambition in the eyes of this middle-aged uncle when he saw him.

"Haha! Business is business, but my friendship with my dear Colonel Tang will definitely run through my life!" Rostav laughed.

"Then for the sake of precious international friendship, how about a 20% discount on the goods I want this time?" Tang Dao smiled slightly.

"Dear Tang, you have to know that I have done a lot of work in China for this batch of heavy artillery you specifically requested. The Japanese have basically signed a memorandum of joining the Allied Powers with the top leaders of the Empire. Once all the transactions between my company and you are known by the Japanese intelligence agencies, I am destined to be the scapegoat. With the personality of our head of state, life and death are just a moment." When Rostav heard that there would be a discount, his face suddenly became bitter.

Tang Dao certainly knew that what Rostav said was true, but the so-called worry about life was exaggerated. With the arrogance of the Germans, how could they take Japan, a small ally in the East, too seriously?

The Japanese have been opposed to the German Empire importing weapons to China for a long time. When did the Germans take the Japanese opposition to heart? Not only did they sell weapons and equipment, but they also sent military guidance groups to China and indirectly participated in the Battle of Songhu!

Moreover, with Krupp's current status as an arms supplier to the German Empire, the Fuhrer with a mustache would never target the top executives of Krupp unless they were traitors. His primary target now is the Gallic rooster that lies before him.

If Tang Dao's memory is correct, in a few months, on the Western Front, the crazy Fuhrer with a mustache will deploy a jaw-dropping 3 million troops, which is a huge force of 157 infantry divisions, 2,700 tanks and 7,500 artillery pieces.

Since launching an attack on Poland on September 1, the German Empire, a chariot loaded with explosives, has inevitably opened the road to conquer the old Western powers.

The Germanic people need living space, and so do other peoples. The war that spreads throughout the world is inevitable.

"Whether there is a discount or not is secondary. In addition to paying for the 28 150 howitzers, I also hope that Mr. Rostav can sell me another German-equipped division's equipment." Tang Dao simply stopped beating around the bush and directly stated his purpose.

"But, the German-equipped division equipment was ordered by Mr. Zhang of your country for General Wan. Although he can't come to pick it up now, we Germans have always been honest. Since I have already received the deposit, how can I break the contract and sell it to others?" Rostav showed an embarrassed expression again.

This is not a performance. With the rigorous personality of the Germans, it is indeed difficult for them to do things that violate the spirit of the contract, especially for a small noble like Rostav who strictly abides by tradition.

"First of all, I did not ask Mr. Rostav to violate the contract. When Mr. Zhang ordered this batch of arms, he did not expect that the war would develop so quickly, and my North China would fall so quickly, causing the owner to be unable to pick up the goods.

If nothing unexpected happens, even at the end of the war, General Wan of the 53rd Army will not be able to come to Tianjin to pick up the goods in person, let alone pay the balance.

And now, there is also a Chinese army that can complete this transaction on its behalf. Perhaps when the right time comes, this batch of weapons can be transferred to my friendly army that belongs to the Chinese army sequence. What do you think? How did it violate the contract?

Was it the wrong person who was delivered? Or was the final payment not paid in full?

Secondly, the weapons in stock are already behind the current military structure of your country. Instead of spending the effort to reload and ship them back to the country, it is better to sell them at a low price nearby in exchange for cash flow, and it can also help your country manufacture more advanced weapons and equipment.

Mr. Rostav, you should know that this time your country is facing an opponent who defeated you in the First World War. If you lose again, your country will have no chance to turn over in a hundred years. "Tang Dao stood in Rostav's small office with his hands behind his back, looking at the hanging map of Europe.

A small piece of it has been painted red. It is the land belonging to Poland, and now it belongs to Germany.

It can be seen that the senior executive of the arms company, although far away in China, is still very concerned about the war initiated by his empire.

This German with a clear mind must understand that there will be only two outcomes of this war, either the empire rules the whole of Europe, or it is ruled, there is no third result.

"Dear Colonel Tang, although you are the wisest and bravest Oriental I have ever seen, you are still a little alarmist. Europe is a civilized world. War is only a means, not an end. We Germans just want to stop being oppressed and rise up to resist. Even if we fail one day, the civilized world will not carry out the nearly barbaric genocide against our nation like you in the East." Rostav tried to defend the war initiated by his empire, while also insisting on the so-called civilization he knew.

Tang Dao showed disdain at the corner of his mouth!

Although Rostav is a good person, he still maintains the arrogance of the so-called advanced civilized world in his bones. This has nothing to do with morality, it is created by the times.

The so-called civilization is nothing but a freak born under the rapid economic development, just like the city dwellers in the future look down on the country people, thinking that they are all vulgar and rogue, and they feel superior because they have money.

But is that really civilization? At least Tang Dao doesn't think so.

"Mr. Rostav, the European battlefield is far away from me. I will analyze this battlefield and judge its outcome. You may think that I am just talking on paper. Then I will take the war that happened in our country as an example.

If one day, our country wins this war and leads the war to the Japanese mainland, and also wins the final victory, and I am the supreme commander, what do you think I will do?" Tang Dao asked calmly.

"Then based on my understanding of you, Colonel Tang, you will..." Rostav's face turned slightly pale, and his hand made a downward cutting motion.

The name of Tang Dao's "devil" has long been known throughout the Japanese North China Front Army. When fighting with other Chinese troops, even if they were captured, they still had a chance to survive, either being exchanged for prisoners of war or being kept under guard and served with good food and drink. However, only the Tang Dao troops, in every battle with the Japanese army sequence fighting against them, must have a large number of casualties, not to mention the chance of becoming a prisoner of war.

If you want to become a prisoner of war, you must first have no record of harming the Chinese people. Once you are reported and exposed by other prisoners of war who are trying to survive, your head will be immediately hung on the flagpole.

And which of the Japanese troops who entered China in the early days did not kill the Chinese people? Even if they did not want to, under military orders, didn't they also point their guns at innocent Chinese people!

Tang Tuanzuo's cruel reputation of blood for blood has long been known everywhere.

If one day he becomes the highest commander of China and lands on the Japanese mainland, then there is no need to think about it? The white cherry blossoms on the Japanese island may all be dyed red!

"Haha! It seems that Mr. Rostav still doesn't know me well. I will only aim my guns at my Chinese enemies, and will not point my swords and guns at the innocent people who have been brainwashed by the Japanese high-level officials." Tang Dao laughed.

"But how can I allow others to sleep under my bed! The Japanese have been plotting against my China for a long time. We can win this war, but who knows when the Japanese will come back next time?

The simplest way is of course to let this nation disappear from the long river of history. Such a thing is certainly not new to Mr. Rostav, who is proficient in my Chinese history. The Donghu in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the Turks in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all powerful at one time, but where are they now? Maybe there are still ethnic bloodlines in your Europe, but do they know the glory of their ancestors?

If one day I invade the Japanese mainland, I will divide this country into two and support two regimes. With the current social class structure in Japan, one side is civilians and the other side is nobles.

Well! When I give them enough power and wealth, they will work hard to survive on that barren island for the group of people they represent."

Damn! Rostav's mind was full of these two words he heard from Tang Dao, and his eyes were staring at Tang Dao as if he was looking at a demon.

This army colonel was far more terrifying than the iron-blooded cruelty he showed on the surface.

If there really came a day when he actually caused a nation to be divided into two factions and fight each other, let alone no longer being able to face the outside world, I am afraid that under the accumulated consumption, this artificially divided nation would gradually disappear in the long river of history.

What is bloodless and killing people invisibly? This is it!

Will there be smart people who realize this? Of course there are. This world lacks many things, but not smart people.

But who would give up the power and wealth that is within reach and pursue the glory of the nation? When Rostav asked himself, he knew that he could not do it. Not to mention the temptation of controlling a region and controlling the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people, he was willing to kill his own nephew even for the position of president of a company.

Of course, what really made Rostav's forehead sweat was not what Tang Dao would do to his enemy, the Japanese, but that he thought of his own country.

If someone treats his motherland like this after losing the war, will his nation still have a chance to turn over?

In the past, if the Bear Empire had not been terminally ill and had become a sunset, the nations separated by a thick Berlin Wall would have had no chance of uniting. Even if they finally merged, the different ideologies deeply rooted in their bones still deeply influenced everyone.

If the German Empire wants to rise again, a hundred years is too short.

In order not to evolve into what Tang Dao described, the German Empire must win this time.

Otherwise, it will be doomed!

"Hehe! In order to repay Mr. Rostav and the friendly attitude of the German nation towards our country in recent years, I can design a weapon for close-range individual destruction of tank armor for your company's reference, which may add some new ideas to your country's current tactical thinking dominated by armored cluster breakthrough tactics." Tang Dao looked at Rostav with lifeless eyes, threw out the last straw that broke the camel's back, and handed over a drawing he had drawn.

"Oh! God! What the hell is this weapon?" Rostav was stunned when he saw the crude design with a large warhead and a thin steel tube.

The design that Tang Dao gave him was none other than the first generation of the 'Iron Fist' anti-tank rocket launcher developed by the Germans in 1942.

In the early days of World War II, the German Empire's blitzkrieg quickly swept across Europe, conquering Poland, France, Belgium and other countries. The main force of the German Empire's blitzkrieg was armored units and a large number of motorized infantry, plus air force support.

In actual battles, the German Imperial Army also encountered strong resistance from Allied tank troops, such as the Matilda infantry tank of the Imperial Army on which the sun never sets. The infantry anti-tank weapons of the German Imperial Army at that time were only anti-tank weapons. Grenades and the Park 37 37mm anti-tank cannon can be used. These anti-tank weapons can also deal with light tanks. However, hardcore tanks such as the Matilda infantry tank need to call in 88mm artillery from their superiors for support.

However, the HLL anti-tank grenade used by the soldiers of the German Empire must be attached to the tank for use. In layman's terms, this is a scum weapon that sacrifices the lives of infantry in exchange for destroying armor. It may be used on the Chinese battlefield. It can still be regarded as a treasure, but in the European battlefield, the infantrymen wanted to smash it on the commander's head when they saw this thing.

When the German army attacked Mao Xiong in 1941 and encountered Mao Xiong's T34 tank, the German Imperial Army's anti-tank grenade was upgraded, but it still needed to be thrown at the tank from a distance of 20 meters. At this time, the German Imperial Army felt that it was in urgent need of a grenade. A new effective, high-penetration individual anti-tank weapon, which gave birth to the later famous "Iron Fist" anti-tank rocket launcher.

The principle of "Iron Fist" is to install a large armor-piercing projectile into a steel tube with built-in propellant, launching device and scale. When in use, the internally fixed propellant is used to launch the large armor-piercing projectile at the front end, and then the tail flame generated by the propellant is directly discharged from the rear end of the steel pipe. In this way, the armor-breaking projectile can be pushed to 30 meters away, with 30 mm armor's armor-breaking ability.

This was just the first-generation product. By 1943 and 1944, when the second-generation Iron Fist and the third-generation Iron Fist were launched, they already had a 100-meter range and armor-breaking capabilities close to 140 mm of armor.

Of course, with Tang Dao's personality, he would never get it right in one step. This picture that Tang Dao blindly drew based on his memory was the first-generation Iron Fist plan that Schneider, a company that specialized in developing armor-piercing projectile technology before the war, won the bid.

Tang Dao didn’t draw its internal structure and various parameters at all. Firstly, he couldn’t remember such an old antique. Secondly, even if he remembered Tang Dao, he didn’t intend to give it. Although the Germans couldn’t really conquer Europe with just one picture. But Tang Dao couldn't let them go too smoothly.

Even Tang Dao currently needs this kind of weapon that is destined to be developed by the Germans.

The purpose of this map given by Tang Dao is actually not complicated. The European battlefield has little to do with China, but it is needed on the anti-Japanese battlefield. After the Western world fully goes to war with the Axis powers, in order to contain the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield The main force, a large amount of aid will continue to be transported to the country through the southwest.

Tang Dao believed that with Yamashiro's mind, this 'artifact' that could defeat Japanese tank armor at a distance of tens of meters was equipment that had to be imported in large quantities.

The reason why Tang Dao is so sure is because there is an identical blueprint in Tang Dao's luggage. That blueprint will be given to the little foreign girl and will definitely be placed on the desks of American cowboy and military experts.

With the thinking of arms dealers like the United States, not to mention that they will eventually participate in the war, even if they do not participate, they will find ways to manufacture them and sell them to the world.

Who can have trouble with money? Especially the American financial groups whose concept of money has been deeply rooted in their bones.

As for the warring parties that would suffer more casualties due to the early introduction of this weapon, that is about the Tang Dao ball. In the past, China and its Chinese nation lost more than 40 million compatriots in this war.

In the Western civilized world, apart from reading this number coldly, who else would show any mercy to this ancient country?

Even before China began to rebuild on the ruins, they began to gather heavy troops and stare at northern China. The Chinese, who had not yet recovered from the pain of the war, had to risk the huge risk of their nation sinking into darkness again. Load your gun, bid farewell to your wife and children, and cross the green river.

I don’t know how many people, even if their bones have turned to ashes, have not yet returned to their hometown!

Tang Dao didn't want to wait until the future to avenge this revenge, so he took revenge now.

In the face of national interests, warmth does not represent civilization, but ridiculousness!

"Dear Don, you win!" Rostav looked at the design drawings for a long time and finally gave in. "But I will not sell this kind of weapon to the Chinese battlefield, otherwise the Japanese will definitely doubt us."

"It doesn't matter, I can give you the design drawings, and I will also conduct research and development myself. Maybe before you use it, our regiment will have already equipped it to make it look good to the Japanese." Tang Dao looked calm.

“However, in view of this, 28 150-meter howitzers captured from Austria and the German weaponry equipment I mentioned, 50% off, this is my bottom line.

Otherwise, I will look for a buyer again. Mr. Rostav, you know, my connections are not just in your company. "

"Deal!" Rostav no longer hesitated and once again took the initiative to extend his hands to Tang Dao.

The American Rockefeller Foundation's business in China has increased significantly in the past year, and its Far East head Laura Rockefeller has also gone deep into the Chinese war zone and had contact with Tang Dao. Tang Dao's terrible personal charm could not even help him, a middle-aged uncle. Block, let alone that woman in her prime.

After Tang Dao said this, he was even more convinced that the two of them must have an affair, and that affair was quite imaginative.

But no matter what the relationship between the two was, he had to get this large arms order first.

50% off was nothing. The 28 150mm howitzers seized from the Austrian army were completely a zero-cost business. The price Krupp bought from the military was only a quarter of its cost, and now it can still be sold at 50%. Excluding transportation and other costs, the net profit has tripled.

And the complete German-equipped division equipment that has been in stock for almost two years is almost growing hair in the warehouse. Even if it is shipped back to China, it can only be sold at a low price to the military to strengthen the militia equipment. Even if there is a base of 1 million US dollars, it is still a loss. Now it is sold to Tang Dao, and there is at least a profit of 1.2 million US dollars. It would be a fool not to sell it.

The reason why he started to act awkwardly was that the spirit of contract was only one of them. The more important reason was that he was afraid that Tang Dao, who knew the inside story, would lower the price.

Originally, his bottom line was 20% off. Now that the Tang Dao is 50% off, why doesn't he confirm it quickly?

Smart people, but more money, this is Rostav's definition of Tang Dao.

Little did he know that Tang Tuanzuo was now so poor that he only had money left.

The Rockefeller family earned nearly 10 million US dollars for him in the past six months. If he didn't spend it, this thing would be a pile of meaningless paper.

If the 28 150mm howitzers were a club he prepared to deal with the next attack by the Japanese army, then this will be equipped with the German-equipped equipment of the 683rd Brigade, which now has 4 5,000-man main regiments, is the big guillotine with a shining blade that Tang Dao prepared for Duo Tianjun.

Dare to come, I will beat you to death!
