After Jiang Mengyun left, Lu Mingxuan asked Speer to sit down.

"Dear General, first of all I would like to congratulate you on your successful recovery of Qinhuangdao."

Speer said with a smile.

"Thanks."

Lu Mingxuan nodded and said.

The 98th Army recaptured Qinhuangdao in just two days, which undoubtedly surprised many people.

Many people predict that this will be a hard battle. After a month of preparation, the 400,000 Japanese troops will definitely teach the 98th Army an extremely profound lesson in Qinhuangdao.

However, the Gustav cannon shattered the Japanese's extravagant hopes. Facing the astonishingly powerful Gustav cannon, all the Japanese fortifications became decorations.

In addition to its huge power, the Gustav Cannon also had an extremely powerful deterrent effect. Many Japanese reservists had serious psychological shadows after witnessing the power of the Gustav Cannon.

Facing a deep pit that was as big as more than two football fields, many Japanese soldiers felt extremely frightened and uneasy.

This not only made their morale extremely low, but they were so frightened that they finally captured some Chinese people to serve as human shields.

However, Manstein greatly appreciated Gustav after discovering his huge intimidating power.

So the 98th Army used the Gustav Cannon to fire more frequently. They almost used the Gustav Cannon to blast all the way to Shanhaiguan.

Faced with this extremely brutal offensive, all the defense lines that the Japanese soldiers had worked so hard to build were turned into decorations.

"In addition, our head of state is very interested in your army's secret weapons. I wonder if the general is willing to sell this weapon."

Speer continued to talk to him.

"I am very humble. This weapon is not for sale. I have no intention of selling this item."

Lu Mingxuan said almost without thinking.

It's okay if those external lies are used to deceive other countries. But it's not okay if they are used to deceive the Germans. After all, Manstein knew this very well, and he even knew the losses of the Japanese very well.

So Lu Mingxuan rejected him very firmly, but it also made him regret asking Manstein to be the temporary chief of staff, because he didn't know if it was a good deal to expose the secrets of the Haiying.

"General, don't you think about it again? We are very sincere and we are willing to pay a very high price."

Speer saw this and quickly persuaded.

After learning about the immense power of this weapon, Mustache gave him a death order, and he must obtain this weapon no matter how high the price was.

Of course he knew the reason why Mustache was so anxious.

Although Germany's national power is very powerful, it has always been firmly suppressed on land by the British fleet.

Many people believe that Germany lost World War I because Germany failed to break through the blockade of the British fleet. The British fleet was like a nightmare haunting the hearts of everyone in Germany.

Therefore, destroying the British fleet is definitely Germany's top priority, but a strong army may be built in a short time.

But a powerful navy cannot be built in a short period of time.

Ten years of army and one hundred years of navy are not for nothing.

But now Mustache sees the hope of defeating the British fleet, and that is the secret weapon of the 98th Army.

He believed that as long as he mastered this secret weapon, it would be easy to destroy the British Armada.

Therefore, for this matter, Mustache is almost determined to win.

"I think there's no need to think about this."

Lu Mingxuan shook his head and said.

How can a country's sharp weapon be sold to others lightly? Let alone such a sharp weapon that is decades ahead of its time.

Even if he, Lu Mingxuan, wanted money no matter how much he wanted, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Seeing Lu Mingxuan's extremely determined look, Speer knew that this matter might be difficult to handle.

If Lu Mingxuan just wanted to sell it at a high price, then this matter would be okay, but now it seems that Lu Mingxuan has no intention of selling at all.

After a moment of silence, Speer took a deep breath, and then continued: "This is really a pity. If your Excellency the General intends to sell this weapon, please be sure to inform us as soon as possible. We will definitely give it to you."

Offer a price that satisfies His Majesty the General."

"Okay, Mr. Speer, just rest assured. If I plan to sell it at any time, I will give priority to selling it to your country."

Lu Mingxuan said casually.

Speer nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Lu Mingxuan's promise.

"Then let's talk about another thing. I wonder what your Excellency the General thinks of the Soviets?"

"Soviet?"

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but feel extremely surprised. He didn't understand why Speer suddenly raised this question.

Looking at Speer's burning eyes, it seemed that this matter was very important to him.

Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and then said: "The Soviets are a country that is greedy for land. I don't like the Soviets."

Why does the West always unite to resist the Russians? On the one hand, it is because they believe that the Slavs are the descendants of slaves, and they are mixed with a large number of Huns, Turks, Gypsies and other bloods, and they are not worthy of being called white people together with them.

On the other hand, it is because Lao Maozi is too greedy for territory. In less than a thousand years, Russia has transformed from a small serfdom principality into a territory spanning Eurasia by annexing the territories of surrounding countries.

The largest country in the world by area.

Lu Mingxuan estimated that many Europeans believed that if things continued like this, Lao Maozi would even annex the entire Europe. This was the reason why they united to resist Lao Maozi.

A smile appeared on Speer's face.

"If the General becomes the leader of your country, does the General intend to use troops against the Soviets?"

After listening to his words, Lu Mingxuan vaguely guessed his purpose.

"Yes! Of course I will use troops against the Soviets."

Lu Mingxuan said without thinking.

Using troops against the Soviet Union seems to be one of the must-do things when traveling back in time, Lu Mingxuan thought to himself.

"Then are you, General, willing to form an alliance with us, Germany? As long as you, General, form an alliance with us, Germany, then we, Germany, and even the entire Axis group are willing to provide all help for you, General, to become the leader of China."

Speer's eyes showed eagerness.

Lu Mingxuan's face showed such an expression.

After Manstein's in-depth understanding of the 98th Army, he believed that the 98th Army had extraordinary potential.

Maybe they have a lot of shortcomings in terms of command and the quality of their soldiers. But their weapons and equipment are absolutely luxurious to the extreme. Even the Germans can't compare to this.

This gave them a very powerful combat capability, so he suggested that Mustache should try to form a military alliance with the 98th Army.

"No! I don't agree!"

Lu Mingxuan still shook his head and said without wanting to think about it.

"Why?"

After hearing his words, Speer couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.

You must know that Chiang Kai-shek tried his best to get help from the Germans. Now that the Germans have offered to form an alliance with Lu Mingxuan, he still doesn't agree?

But Speer seemed to have thought of something, and then said to Lu Mingxuan with a look of enlightenment: "Are you worried about the Japanese? Don't worry about this, we in Germany are willing to do our best to provide mediation for both of you."

"No! I think Mr. Speer you have misunderstood me."

Lu Mingxuan shook his head and said.

"My refusal to form an alliance is not because of the Japanese, but because I plan to form a military alliance myself in the future. So I have no plans to join your alliance."

"Are you planning to form your own military alliance?"

Speer couldn't help but feel extremely shocked.

"That's right, I've already thought of a name. It's called the Han Alliance."

Lu Mingxuan said.

In fact, this was just Lu Mingxuan's reason for refusing. The real reason was that he believed that he and Mustache were two different people.

Basically, Mustache is a fanatical racist, but Lu Mingxuan considers himself a calm nationalist.

Mustache has always advocated the supremacy of the Aryans, claiming that the Aryans are the best nation in the world, and that other ethnic groups are inferior ethnic groups, which of course include all ethnic groups in China.

Of course Lu Mingxuan felt extremely unhappy about this.

What's more, Lu Mingxuan is not a fan of Germany. The reason why he is willing to sell weapons to Germany is, on the one hand, to obtain some funds. On the other hand, it is because Germany has beaten the three rogue countries, Britain, the United States and France, in a terrible way.

Lu Mingxuan did not have any favorable impressions from the three countries.

He believes that sooner or later his strength will become the best in the world. So why not join the Axis group? He might as well start a new one and become the boss.

Moreover, his goal has always been to subvert the entire world system and establish a new international order with China at the core, which requires a military alliance absolutely led by China.

Joining the Axis would only run counter to this goal, so he could not accept Speer's invitation.

"General, why don't you stop thinking about it? There are great benefits to forming an alliance with our country."

Speer said with a bitter look on his face.
