Chapter 19 Negotiation

After a while, Geer invited Tukhachevsky and Natasha.

Although Tukhachevsky's face was still a little red, his eyes were extremely clear and radiant, and he did not look like a drunk person at all. Yannick was really curious about how strong his liver was to be able to withstand such a torment. "Your Excellency General Tukhachevsky, I won't say any compliments about your amazing drinking capacity. How about we keep the story short and get to the point?"

Tukhachevsky nodded. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very cheerful, so please."

Everyone came to sit down in the small conference room in the suite, and Yannick continued. "We come here with sincerity for mutual benefit this time. With all due respect, when a communist country like yours was founded, you were almost the public enemy of the whole world. British Prime Minister Lloyd even called you 'European Untouchables'. I'm afraid no other country will cooperate with you in so many aspects. "There was China in the original time and space, but it's a pity that the Ming Dynasty in this time and space is still strong and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Moreover, Ming Dynasty had always had a bad relationship with the Soviet Union because of the Mongolian issue, so of course it would not look down upon the Soviet Union. The backbone of these Slavs is also very stiff. The people are so poor that they cannot afford bread and they are unwilling to humble themselves and ask others for help.

"Then again, you are the public enemy of the whole world. We in Germany are not much better. We are also suppressed by Britain, France and the United States. There is a saying that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Since we are friends, we can do more Isn’t it cooperation?”

"With all due respect, friends are also based on interests. Cooperation also depends on whether what you pay is out of proportion to what you get." Tukhachevsky answered wisely. Smart people will not put forward conditions first, but let the other party put forward conditions. When the time comes, they can deal with it randomly.

Of course, Yannik knew what the Soviet Union lacked most at this time. Not only at this time, but after the end of World War II in the original time and space, the Soviet Union went further and further down the road of stupidity, blackness and roughness. Far behind Western countries led by the United States. Even precision five-axis CNC milling machines have to be purchased secretly from Japan at exorbitant prices. "I know that you are currently lacking in the field of precision machining. And I can pat my chest and say that our German technology is the most advanced in the world." At this point, Yannick saw the muscles on Tukhachevsky's face. There was a noticeable shake. The "Red Napoleon" certainly understood how helpful what he had to offer would be to the Soviet Union.

Tukhachevsky pinched his throat unnaturally and asked. "Can Mr. Yannick guarantee that what he provides are the latest and most advanced?" When he heard the news that the German Crown Prince was coming to visit a few days ago, Tukhachevsky's first thought was to take this opportunity to let Germany export to Some Soviet precision machine tools. Because now all aspects of Soviet industry are in great need of such precision machine tools. If there were these precision machine tools, the Soviet Union's industrial technology could at least soar to a higher level.

That's why he took over the task of receiving German guests, which was originally not under his control. Unexpectedly, Yannick now took the initiative to ask, how could he suppress the ecstasy in his heart with such difficulty.

Yannick nodded heavily. "Of course. We can provide the world's most advanced machine tools and equipment to improve your heavy industry, arms industry, and steel industry. And we can also send technical personnel to provide technical support, and we will provide you with the entire process." said At this point, he had already seen the unconcealable look of ecstasy in the other person's eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly laugh at him. He couldn't even express his joy and anger, so he was definitely not the type to engage in politics. "But there is an old saying that good goods are not cheap, and cheap goods are not good."

"Since Mr. Yannick is so forthcoming, we can't be too stingy and offer your price." Tukhachevsky said.

"First, we need to inspect your arms industry, artillery, tanks, firearms, etc. First, we need to understand our partners so that we can cooperate better. Second, if we like it, we hope you can authorize it. "Give us production." It's said to be authorization, but it actually means asking for drawings. Yannik from the original time and space didn't like the Soviet Union very much. Although he often heard about how powerful certain weapons of the Soviet Union were and could beat the shit out of his opponents, he didn't pay much attention to their design details. Now he can only draw two or three Soviet weapon design drawings. For other things like T-34, Stalin tanks, etc., he only knows the main data at most, so let him draw the design drawings? That's mission impossible.

"..." Tukhachevsky felt that the weapons currently used by the Soviet Union and the weapons under development could not adapt to future wars, and upgrading them was inevitable. It seems that there is no disadvantage in exchanging these things that will be "eliminated" in the future. "If you guarantee that these weapons blueprints will never flow into third countries, then we can consider it." Although they will be eliminated in the future, no one can guarantee that local wars will occur in the next few years.

"Of course, no problem." Yannick agreed readily. Tukhachevsky is also willing to believe Yanik's guarantee. After all, Europeans generally believe that integrity is the basic virtue of being a human being. In European cultural tradition, "liar" is a very strong curse word. The protagonist in the famous book "Jane Eyre" was heartbroken when she was scolded by her teacher for "lying" when she was in school.

Yannick made a second request. "Second, the Soviet Union has a vast territory. I hope you can provide a secret venue. We need to train our soldiers secretly. And your country must ensure that these training venues will not be discovered by countries such as Britain, the United States, and France."

Tukhachevsky asked. "Can I ask what the training is about?"

"Armored troops and aviation troops." In the original time and space before World War II, the Soviet Union secretly trained and equipped armored troops for ** Germany. The Treaty of Versailles strictly prohibited Germany from establishing offensive troops, especially tank troops. Germany had to secretly produce tanks and find a secret place to train armored troops. At the same time, the Soviet Union, which was in a state of disrepair, did not have advanced production technology and skilled technical backbones, so Germany and the Soviet Union came together for their own interests.

Now there is only one more aviation force, and there is no reason for the Soviet Union not to agree.

Sure enough, the current Tukhachevsky did not hesitate much and responded. "This is not a difficult task. But we also have to send students over, and everyone will learn and communicate together."

Yannick cursed shamelessly in his heart, but showed an extremely sincere smile on his face. "That's really what I want, but you have to provide all weapons and equipment, including tanks and aircraft for training, etc." Even if the performance of Soviet soldiers is as good as that of German soldiers, it cannot make up for the gap in weapons and equipment. The same excellent soldiers commanded the Leopard tank and the T-28 tank respectively. Unless the German tank commander was crazy, the T-28 would definitely be the object of abuse.
