The streets of Singapore are crowded, noisy and vibrant as a colonial port city.

People of all colors from all over the world are rubbing shoulders with each other. Sailors, dressed in white summer uniforms, rampage through the streets. The colonial policemen from India, the "red-headed threes", wore shorts and leggings, and wandered around lazily. The air is filled with fruity sweetness and a hint of saltiness from the sea breeze. Most of them are yellow-skinned, black-haired overseas Chinese with Hokkien and Cantonese, and everything here is actually created by their sweat and hard work.

The surrounding streets are lined with various shops, and if you look at the signs, most of them are in Chinese and English. This is also the time of bustle and busyness, the boss and the guys are busy going in and out, or greeting customers, or carrying goods, so that business is booming.

The Princess Mary will make a few stops in Singapore and then make its next stop in Mumbai, India. Tourists who have been on the steamer for several days also took advantage of this opportunity to get off the boat one after another and have a tour.

Luo Yaoguo also got off the boat, and together with his brother-in-law An Sihua, he squeezed around in the crowd side by side.

In the twenties of the twentieth century, Singapore was still an important stronghold of the British Empire in Asia, and the British Empire at this time still maintained the majesty and glory of the unlost empire, and it seemed that it would always be inoffensive.

However, Luo Yaoguo, who came from later generations, knew that this empire was already a thin West Mountain, and it was purely a paper tiger. Just wait for the corporal from Austria to lead the German fascists to deliver a fatal blow to it. Then it's the turn of the new rising empires to divide up the legacy of the old ones...... Including the dependencies of Britain, France, and the Netherlands, as well as Siam, the only reading country in Southeast Asia, are in fact ownerless wealth. Now a greedy soul from another plane is watching them.

As a military officer in the 21st century, Luo Yaoguo is naturally familiar with the history before and after the Second World War, and he also has a unique view of the outcome of this war. There were actually only two victorious countries in this war - the United States and the Soviet Union. China, Britain, and France were nothing more than signs of victorious powers, which were actually no different from defeat.

Britain and France lost their entire empires, and within a few years of the war, two centuries-old colonial empires collapsed. Their homeland has also become the little brother of the United States, but it is only a second-class power in the world. As for China, the situation is even more complicated, as far as the whole nation is concerned, it has not perished. Well, if that's a victory, it's barely a victory. However, for the Kuomintang, the Second World War was indeed defeated. In fact, at the cost of its own economic collapse, China dragged down the Soviet Union and the United States, creating the possibility for them to win the world. And after the war there was nothing...... Not only the territory, but even the war reparations were not received.

That must not be the case on this plane. Looking at the prosperous streets of Singapore, Luo Yaoguo's eyes flashed with greed. This reactionary officer from the twenty-first century obviously lacks a correct outlook on life and values, and does not even know what a "national liberation movement" is.

"Sihua, what do you think of our Nanyang?" Luo Yaoguo glanced back at his brother-in-law An Sihua and saw that he was looking east and west observing the terrain. Well, this half-foreign must have been badly taught by Prussian militarism, and all he wanted was to fight.

An Sihua's eyes rested on a British warship in the harbor. It was a Hawkins-class heavy cruiser, a British cruiser that began construction in World War I. Since it meets the requirements of the Washington Naval Treaty, it will be retained. Now there is one that happens to be moored in Singapore.

An Sihua pointed to the big warship: "Even if war breaks out again in Europe and gives us a loophole to exploit, we must have a strong enough navy." You agreed yesterday that the Admiralty would build a large warship, probably for the sake of the South Seas, right? ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled heavily and nodded lightly: "I really can't hide anything from you!" I estimate that Europe will definitely be able to fight again in more than ten years, and then it will be our opportunity to take the South Seas. And the development of the navy is by no means an overnight thing, don't people say that it is a 'century-old navy'? We don't have a hundred years, only a dozen years, and it won't work if we don't hurry up. Therefore, if the Admiralty wants to build a ship, let's build it, and what is lacking can only be known when it is built. This time I went to Germany to negotiate with them about the introduction of technology, Sihua, do you think you are sure? ”

"Technology import?" An Sihua frowned slightly. He didn't have any way out of this matter, but to go to Zekter, his old boss who was in the German army in the past. This old stubborn was now the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, bent on restoring the honor of the German Reich. The old stubborn Zeket is actually a very thoughtful person, which is somewhat similar to Luo Yaoguo. He is now laying out for the re-emergence of Germany in the future, and if he can help in this regard, it is estimated that there will be a way for the introduction of technology.

Thinking of this, An Sihua smiled slightly: "The key to this is that we have anything to impress each other?" As long as the conditions are in place, there should be no problem in introducing technology. Germany was now oppressed by the Treaty of Versailles and was subjected to many repressions in armaments and the military industry. Technology is a thing that goes against the current, and it has to keep improving to stay ahead of the curve. If Germany were to be oppressed by the Treaty of Versailles for another ten years, it would probably fall behind in terms of military industry. Let's start with that. In addition, Germany's resources are short and there is a lack of non-ferrous metals, so cooperation in this area has already begun, and this time it will also strive to expand, in addition to tungsten and manganese, aluminum should also become a cooperation project. Then there is the training of officers, such as submariners and air force pilots, which Germany cannot openly engage in now, but only through cooperation with foreign countries, and we have no conflict of interest with them after all, so we should be the best partners to work with. At last...... It is the arms trade, if Germany wants to rearmament, they will need a large number of advanced weapons in the initial stage, so that they can have the ability to protect themselves. If we can agree to sell Germany a fleet of submarines and warships at a reasonable price when they rearm...... I'm sure Zeckert will be tempted. It's just that...... We may suffer in cooperation. ”

Andershua is very clear that this cooperation can only succeed if the interests of both parties are aligned. Therefore, if you want to get Germany's sincere help, you must also pay the same sincerity to help Germany rearmament, and if necessary, you need to suffer a little loss.

Luo Yaoguo sighed, looked at the busy harbor, and smiled faintly: "We will sincerely help Germany rearmament, if they don't rise, how can this Nanyang fall into our hands?" Sometimes taking advantage of a loss. ”

A strong Germany will also be of great significance to China in the next 20 years, not only in the South Seas but also in the North! Now that South China's heavy industry has taken off, it is very likely that it will catch up with or surpass it in a decade or so if we can get technical support from Germany. But to catch up with the USSR, it was simply unrealistic. If you want to regain the lost territory in the north, the only thing you can count on is for the mustache to beat Daddy Si hard. If you can kill ...... That's even better.

It's just that now the Soviet Union is still thriving, and the ignorant and backward China seems to have a desperate father and son, who are preparing to take risks in the north to touch Stalin's tiger buttocks. I wonder how they're preparing? Will it be better than it has historically been? Go back and ask Luo Shun to take a telegram and ask Zeng Qi.
