Chapter 239 Big Business

"Berlin said that this check is for that Mr. Lu, and you are required to hand it over to him personally." Someone from the consulate made such an explanation, but Colonel Moss was still at a loss. The number is not small. If it is based on Colonel Moss's current military salary standard, he may not be able to get so much money after working for 100 years.But in any case, this was also an order from Berlin, and Colonel Moss handed over the check to Lu Yuan according to Berlin's order.

The moment he handed out the check, Colonel Moss' gaze landed on Lu Yuan's face, trying to see the expected expression change on Lu Yuan's face. Who would have thought that Lu Yuan, who reached out to take the check, didn't care about the check at all. The amount on the table was just placed on Zhuo Zi casually, as if what he took over was just a very ordinary piece of paper.Colonel Moss was paying attention to Lu Yuan's reaction, and Lu Yuan was actually observing Colonel Moss, but Lu Yuan did not pay attention to the amount on the check.

"Colonel, thank you for sending this check. With this money, maybe I can get other weapons and equipment data for the empire. You should know that many military technicians in the United States are not living very well. And I know that among them, some people already have good design ideas or blueprints, but suffer from insufficient research funds, so their designs can only be shelved." Lu Yuan looked at Colonel Moss, but the words in his mouth were not Stop and continue throwing bait at the opponent.

"Lu, are you saying that you can still get new-style weapon design drawings and data?" Lu Yuan's words really aroused the interest of Colonel Moss, and he was able to become the special envoy of the head of state and be sent to Shanghai to meet with Lu Yuan. It shows that Colonel Moss is not as simple as an SS colonel.Besides, Colonel Moss knew what Lu Yuan had done in Berlin. When he heard Lu Yuan said that he could still get the design drawings of new weapons, his blood boiled.

"Of course, Colonel Moss, what I said will definitely count. But I want to remind you in advance that this matter is by no means as simple as doing ordinary business. First of all, I need the empire to give me a guarantee. The empire must first guarantee For my safety, if my plan fails, the empire must ensure that it will not settle accounts with me. The second is funds. The environment and system of the United States are looser than that of the empire, which gives us an opportunity, but funds are essential Yes, without enough funds, it is impossible to buy those military technicians and specialists." Lu Yuan replied to Colonel Moss with a smile.

As soon as Lu Yuan mentioned funds, Colonel Moss' excitement immediately calmed down. He was just a small SS colonel. Even if he was Hitler's confidant, he did not dare to promise that Lu Yuan would provide financial support. Who knows what Lu Yuan is? How much is it. "Lu, I will contact Berlin right away about the funding issue. Why don't you talk about your plan first, and what's more, if the empire agrees to provide financial support, what is the amount of funding? What can the empire get in the end?" Moss The colonel cleverly started to change the subject, causing Lu Yuan to roll his eyes inwardly.

"Mr. Colonel, I don't have a specific figure for the amount of funds yet. But what I can be sure of is that a piece of technology that I am about to acquire here will be about battlefield communication equipment. It is said that once this equipment is successfully developed, any A commander equipped with this kind of communication equipment can easily contact all troops within a radius of 10 kilometers. If a way to increase the power of the equipment can be found, the communication range may be increased to 15 kilometers, 20 kilometers or even longer distance.” What Lu Yuan was talking about was the walkie-talkie equipped by the U.S. military during World War II, but it is still 1938, and the walkie-talkie is only a concept that exists on paper.

"Colonel Moss, you can imagine that once this kind of communication equipment can be popularized to the platoon level, and the communication on the battlefield does not rely on wired telephones, will the mode of warfare change drastically? I believe this will be It is a new type of equipment that crosses the era, and you are a soldier, so you should know how this equipment works, especially on the battlefield." Seeing that Colonel Moss was obviously out of shape, Lu Yuan just chuckled He didn't take the initiative to interrupt Colonel Moss's meditation.

The meeting with Lu Yuan was originally an ordinary matter for Colonel Moss, but after hearing what Lu Yuan said just now, Colonel Moss suddenly had an idea of ​​wanting to tie Lu Yuan back to Berlin .Now that Lu Yuan has said to himself that he has some helpers in the United States, if Lu Yuan and his helpers can be used by the empire, Colonel Moss will be willing to take the risk of blaming the Ebi head of state and make Lu Yuan Go back to Berlin, because this young man is so useful.

As if he had already guessed what Moss was thinking, when Moss looked up at Lu Yuan but before he could speak, Lu Yuan spoke first. "Colonel Moss, unfortunately, I can't leave my country now. I believe you have seen and heard it since you came to Shanghai. The Japanese are currently invading my motherland. As a Chinese, I can't leave at this time China. You just need to tell me now, are you interested in my proposal just now? Are you willing to report this matter to the head of state?"

Lu Yuan's last words instantly awakened Colonel Moss. That's right, the head of state can only make the final decision, so he, the special envoy, doesn't have to worry about it.Colonel Moss left immediately, and immediately sent a telegram to Berlin after returning. He even sent what Lu Yuan told him, every word in the original text, to Berlin and reported it to Hitler.In the next two days, Colonel Moss seemed to disappear suddenly. He didn't come to Lu Yuan's place, and even Hansen didn't know where Colonel Moss went.

It was not until the morning of the fourth day that the dusty Colonel Moss reappeared in Lu Yuan's study, but Moss did not come by himself, he also brought an entourage named Ed. "Lu, what you told me, I have already reported to the head of state. The head of state instructed to do everything possible to meet your request. These are the greatest help I can get from the German consul, and this is also the sincerity of the empire to you and attitude." Colonel Moss took the suitcase from Ed's hand, placed it on the table and opened it, and the shiny gold in the box was full of gold bars.

Lu Yuan just glanced at the gold bars, then shook his head slightly at Colonel Moss and said, "Colonel, you are mistaken, I never said I was short of money. Actually, I am not short of money, all I want is An opportunity to cooperate with the empire, such as arms." Lu Yuan's reaction made Colonel Moss's eyes shrink, and he said that if you want arms, you should have said it earlier, Germany lacks everything, but there is no shortage of arms, especially the SS. After the plan to replace the new rifle, the replacement Mauser rifle will soon fill the warehouses.

"Colonel, I won't disappoint the empire, but I still need you to report what I mean to the head of state, because the ammunition I need is not as simple as a few hundred rifles. The new technology of weapons and equipment is only one aspect. I will also pay part of the empire’s money as compensation, I just hope to get a reasonable arms price and an Asian agency qualification to be the sole agent of German weapons.” Lu Yuan’s drawing is correct, this matter is indeed important, but it is only the special envoy of the head of state Colonel Moss can only report to Hitler for a decision.

Hitler's recovery came quickly, but he also made some restrictions in the reply, but when Moss proposed these restrictions to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan showed great generosity. "Mr. Colonel, please tell Your Excellency that there is no need to worry. All I want are infantry weapons such as rifles and light and heavy machine guns, and then light mortars. I don't want any artillery with a caliber of more than 75 mm. The other is bullets." And explosives, especially explosives, I hope the more the better." Lu Yuan's reaction made Colonel Moss a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that this was not the time for flirting.

Knowing that what Lu Yuan wanted was only rifles and light and heavy machine guns, in addition to a large amount of ammunition and explosives, Berlin quickly made a decision to reject Lu Yuan's request for the general agent in Asia, but basically agreed with Lu Yuan's side to get the goods first and pay later. Require. "Lu, I have some good news for you. In order to show the sincerity of the empire, a large ocean-going cargo ship full of munitions has set off from Germany and is expected to arrive in Shanghai in 20 days. Berlin has agreed to what you said to delay payment Request, but before the arms ship arrives in Shanghai, Berlin needs to see your sincerity."

"This is for sure, Mr. Colonel, please rest assured that in the next few days, there will definitely be good news for you." The satisfied Lu Yuan seemed very happy. After Leumos and his entourage had lunch, Lu Yuan Yuan personally sent the two away. "Hogg, didn't you always say that the business in Tianjin is not easy to do? I got you a big business this time, but I may need you to go to Chongqing. I don't know if you would like it or not?" Si, Lu Yuan called Hogg and Schuchman into the study.

Hogg was obviously confused by Lu Yuan's question, so Lu Yuan had no choice but to tell the two of them, "I have reached an agreement with the imperial government. The Germans will provide me with a large number of Mauser rifles, light and heavy machine guns, ammunition and explosives. The exact number is not known, but my estimate is that Hitler probably gave us all the Mausers they replaced, as long as we could sell them."

What Lu Yuan said made Hogg almost cheer on the spot. He still followed the recording and went back to Berlin. He also knew that Lu Yuan provided Hitler with the design blueprint of a new automatic rifle.The word "replacement" that Lu Yuan just mentioned has already made Hogg think of the design blueprint of the new automatic rifle. Without careful calculation, Hogg knows exactly how big the big business Lu Yuan said is. It may be the Mauser rifle replaced by the entire German army.
