Berlin, Germany, a huge conference room.

Mustache Hitler, Hermann Göring, First Army Commander Army General Rudolf Rundstedt, German Army Chief of Staff Fritz Erich von Manstein and others

More than a dozen high-ranking German military officials gathered together, and they were truly shining stars.

But now they are all staring closely at a black and white video played on the big screen in the conference room. On it, a King Tiger tank is shelling in the distance. A 100 mm homogeneous steel plate hundreds of meters away is easily hit by it.

Broken down.

These video tapes were the ones flown in by Lu Mingxuan. Since these video tapes were flown to Berlin, Hitler has been completely attracted by the weapons in these video tapes, whether they are King Tiger tanks, Tiger tanks or Black Panthers.

, all made him feel intoxicated.

This is the tank he wants!

He used to think that the German tanks were pretty good, but compared with the tanks of the 98th Army, the German tanks were like a bunch of ugly ducklings.

Not only does it not have the majestic appearance of those Tiger tanks, it is also no match for them.

And those heavy artillery and aircraft are very good, especially those Karl 600mm self-propelled mortars and Gustav 800mm cannons. If you have these cannons, they will be of great help in breaking through European fortresses and the Maginot Line.

Hitler waited until the video tape finished playing before he rubbed his sore eyes.

Then he looked around for a week and said to the generals: "You have finished watching these videos. Do we want to buy weapons from the 98th Army?"

But no one immediately came out to answer his question, because they were still immersed in the shock that the film had brought to them. They had never thought that how could there be such a powerful weapon in the far east?

Finally, General Baker, Chief of Staff of the German Army, stood up and said: "If these weapons are real, then we should buy some weapons and study them. But is this a scam? How can a backward China have such powerful weapons?

?”

Even though he saw the contents of the videotape with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Isn't China a very backward country? And so much territory was occupied by Japan. If they had such advanced weapons, why did they fail?

"General Speer and General Guderian assured us that these weapons are absolutely real. They all witnessed these weapons firing live fire. And it is precisely because of those advanced tanks that the 98th Army has achieved a series of recent victories.

In other words, these weapons have been tested in actual combat."

Hitler said to him seriously.

"Since these are true, then I think we should buy some tanks and heavy artillery, which can make our German army stronger."

Admiral Baker thought for a while and said.

Judging from the current international situation, it will not be long before Germany launches a war, so making the German army stronger is an urgent task.

"Those aircraft are very good. I think some fw190 fighters and f4u pirate fighters should be purchased, and some bombers should also be purchased."

Hermann Goering also stood up and said.

As the number one figure in the German Air Force, now is the time to fight for the interests of the German Air Force.

The German Air Force has always advocated high altitude, high speed, heavy equipment and heavy firepower, so he fell in love with these two fighter jets at a glance.

Moreover, the B29 bombers of the 98th Army are also very good and have repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the Chinese battlefield, so he also wants to buy some bombers back.

"I also agree to purchase some weapons. If we can learn from it, it will greatly improve our country's military industry."

Manstein also stood up and said.

"I also agree..."

"..."

"..."

"Now that everyone agrees, let's discuss which weapons we should buy."

Hitler continued.

At this point, he frowned, because Lu Mingxuan's prices were too expensive, especially the ones he offered for sale starting from a few cars, so he simply regarded them as big fat sheep.

As a result, their wish to purchase a small amount of weapons for research would not be realized.

It seems that we need to send a telegram to Speer and ask him to severely lower the price of those weapons.

"At least 200 fw190d should be purchased. 200 f4u pirate fighters should be purchased, and 50 b29 strategic bombers should be purchased."

Hermann Goering said it first.

In fact, his vision is very sharp. He saw the huge strategic value of the B29 bomber at a glance.

After hearing his words, Hitler's face couldn't help but tremble.

"It's easy to talk about those fighter jets, but let's forget about the B29 bombers. The Chinese are really too greedy. Their asking price for that B29 bomber is 100 million German marks, and the minimum price is 30."

Hitler said with a dark look on his face.

"How much did you say?"

Goering couldn't help but open his mouth. He thought his ears had heard wrongly.

"100 million German marks per unit. The starting price is 30 units."

Hitler said expressionlessly.

After hearing his words, the generals below couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

30 aircraft equals 3 billion German marks. How is this making money? This is simply robbing money!

I'm afraid only the money printing machine can keep up with the speed at which the greedy Chinese make money!

"He's such a damn vampire!"

Göring couldn't help but cursed loudly.

"It's better not to buy bombers yet. The price of those bombers is too high. At present, our military's bombers can already meet our needs."

Hitler said.

In fact, Lu Mingxuan also recommended two bombers, the B25 Mitchell bomber and the B24 Liberator, to him. However, these bombers were extremely expensive, which made him feel like he was being ripped off as a fat man.

"...Okay then."

Goering could only say helplessly.

Although he wanted the B29 strategic bomber very much, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for Hitler to spend 3 billion German marks to purchase 30 bombers.

Not to mention Hitler, even he himself couldn't accept it.

"I think 200 Tiger tanks, 100 King Tiger tanks and 200 Panther tanks should be purchased. In addition, some Panzer IV tanks should also be purchased."

Admiral Baker stood up and said.

After hearing what he said, Hitler nodded in agreement.

"The Assault Tiger and Grizzly tanks are very good. They are very important for urban assaults. The Jaguar and Jagdtiger heavy tank destroyers are also very good. You should buy some of these,"

Manstein stood up and said.

"There are also Karl 600mm self-propelled mortars. They will play an important role when attacking some fortresses in Europe."

Rundstedt also stood up and said.

So the senior officials then talked to each other and told each other about the weapons they thought should be purchased.

After they finished their discussions and calculated the funds needed to purchase weapons, almost everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

Because that amount was almost close to 1 billion German marks (approximately 400 million U.S. dollars). You must know that Germany's fiscal revenue in 1937 was less than 15 billion German marks. This is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for the German government.

Hitler said with a headache: "Give Speer electricity and ask him to lower the price of these weapons no matter what. In addition, if any of you go to China again, we need to carefully examine those weapons.

After all, this deal is too huge."

Every arms purchase is measured repeatedly. It is simply impossible to achieve an arms purchase in a flash, let alone a huge arms purchase of nearly 1 billion German marks.

"I'll go."

Manstein stood up and said.

"Okay then, I will prepare a special plane for you tomorrow. You can take some experts to China to carefully examine the weapons of the 98th Army."

Hitler nodded and said.

Manstein had just been promoted from the position of Germany's Minister of Demand, and he was still competent in this aspect of the business.

Just as an arms purchase conference was being held in Berlin, Germany, in a hospital in Peiping, China.

Naosaburo Okabe's face was wrapped with a large number of bandages, and he looked like a mummy, lying on a hospital bed with a pale face. In the bombing three days ago, the building he was in was collapsed, and

He was also trapped under the rubble.

If those Japanese soldiers hadn't fought desperately to rescue him, he might have gone to see Amaterasu by now.

"How is the battle situation now?"

Naosaburo Okabe said to Hideki Tojo with a weak look on his face.

"It's terrible! The vanguard of the 98th Army captured Langfang Railway Station yesterday. If nothing happens, they will be able to reach Beiping City today."
