"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, Your Excellency the Field Marshal. The victory of the Chinese Empire in the Pacific was undoubtedly a great victory for the entire Iron Alliance. As the most powerful country in the world, the Chinese Empire should make greater contributions to victory. The Third Reich hoped that the Chinese Empire would launch an offensive against South and West Asia in order to weaken Britain and France and reduce the pressure on Germany in Europe. In addition, after taking West Asia, the Chinese Empire could provide more oil to Germany. Didn't we negotiate this before the outbreak of war? Ribbentrop said.

"Your Excellency, the specific tactics of the Empire in this war are mainly formulated by the military in accordance with the actual situation of the Empire." Foreign Minister Gu Shaochuan said.

Ribbentrop nodded and looked at Marshal Jiang Baili.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the greatest enemy of the empire is still the United States. Although, our fleet won a victory in the Pacific Ocean. However, there is still a long way to go before the United States is defeated. U.S. industry is concentrated on the East Coast and the Great Lakes. In this war, there were no losses. And, again, the Pacific Ocean is too big. If it wants to defeat the United States, the Chinese empire must do everything in its power. To this day, the Americans still have a very strong military presence in the Pacific. The total number of troops deployed in Australia is still more than one million. Therefore, on the battlefield in other directions, the Chinese Empire will lag a little behind, which is also a matter of no way. Marshal Jiang Baili, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, said.

"Of course, Your Excellency Marshal. However, the British and French forces in South and West Asia were not very strong, and with the strength of the Chinese Empire, only a small number of troops needed to be sent to defeat them. Ribbentrop said.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, the strength of Britain and France in South and West Asia is not strong. However, let's not forget that in addition to the United States, we have another great enemy, and that is Soviet Russia. Now, the Russian army deployed on the border of the two sides has reached more than three million. And they're continuing to build up their troops. The empire had to concentrate its forces on the defense of Soviet Russia. Therefore, it is difficult to juggle other fronts for the time being. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

Ribbentrop was silent on the surface, but he was smiling inwardly. This should be the beginning of the German strategy, and the Soviet Union will further increase the number of troops on the Sino-Soviet border, naturally because of the withdrawal of a large number of German* troops from the Eastern Front, so that the Soviet Russia can withdraw its troops from Poland. Coupled with the pressure of the Americans, the possibility of Soviet Russia waging war against the Chinese Empire was undoubtedly very high.

"Your Excellency, Soviet Russia is under strategic encirclement between China and Germany. But unfortunately, both of our countries now have a very strong enemy to deal with, so we cannot join hands to deal with the Russians. However, after Germany defeated Britain and France, we could flank Soviet Russia with the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the Chinese Empire's attack on South and West Asia was not only helping Germany, but also helping the Chinese Empire. Ribbentrop continued.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, we will consider this carefully. If it worked, the Empire would have attacked. Marshal Jiang Baili agreed. Of course, this is really nothing more than perfunctory.

Ribbentrop naturally saw Marshal Jiang Baili's perfunctory. However, the Chinese Empire is the world's largest power, not a small country that can be called by Germany. The Chinese Empire was unwilling to act according to the will of Germany, and they had no choice but to curse a few words of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they did not even dare to make public accusations. After all, Germany still had to rely on the Chinese Empire for the large amount of war materials needed for the war, especially oil.

Germany is pushing Turkey to join the world war once again, once again fighting alongside Germany. In this way, the support of the Chinese Empire to Germany could reach the Balkans through Turkey. After conquering the Balkan countries, a supply line of life would be established, and Germany would no longer have to worry about being blockaded by the British.

"All right, Your Excellency Marshal. I believe that the Chinese Empire will correctly recognize this. Ribbentrop said helplessly.

"In addition, Your Excellency Marshal, the Chinese Empire successfully defeated the U.S. Navy and completely annihilated the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet in this Pacific naval battle. This is undoubtedly a great victory. Germany paid attention to the fact that the Chinese Empire was very unique in the application of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in this naval battle, and played a powerful combat power. As we all know, Germany also has a formidable adversary, and that is the British Empire. Britain's naval strength is very strong, and if Germany can obtain the relevant technology for aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, then it will not be impossible for us to defeat the British navy and break through the blockade of the British. In this way, there will be huge benefits for the steel alliance. Therefore, we hope that the Chinese Empire will transfer the relevant aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft technology to Germany. Ribbentrop said.

"Your Excellency, the technology of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft has always been a top secret of the Chinese Empire, and this is an important guarantee for us to be able to defeat the United States. Of course, the Americans are now catching up. If we transfer this technology to Germany, will Germany be able to guarantee that the data and technology will not be stolen by the Americans? This is undoubtedly a great threat to the empire. In addition, Germany's current strength is already very tight to deal with a land war, and if it increases its investment in the navy, it will be unbearable for Germany. Therefore, the Chinese Empire believed that it was somewhat too early for Germany to develop its navy. It is entirely possible to wait until the end of the war to develop the navy. When the time comes, the Chinese Empire will definitely help Germany build a powerful navy. Marshal Jiang Baili said.

For Marshal Jiang Baili's nonsense, Ribbentrop just wanted to give him a slap in the face. This is clearly the refusal of the Chinese Empire to transfer the relevant technology to Germany, and it has made so many excuses. If the war really ended, would the Chinese Empire be kind enough to help Germany build up its navy? That's simply impossible, even a fool wouldn't believe it. It is estimated that the first thing after the end of the war was probably the suppression of Germany by the Chinese Empire. If Germany had a strong navy, it would have been much more difficult for the Chinese Empire to suppress Germany.

"Your Excellency Marshal, it seems that the Chinese Empire is a little too impersonal in doing this. Before the outbreak of the war, the cooperation between our two countries involved many fields. At that time, Germany came up with a lot of advanced technology free of charge. Ribbentrop said with some annoyance.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, regarding the technology of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, we need to consult His Majesty the Emperor." Gu Shaochuan saw that the conversation seemed to be about to collapse, and hurriedly put the responsibility on the emperor Wu Haoxuan.

"All right, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary." Ribbentrop said helplessly.

Although, before leaving for China, he had guessed that this might be the outcome. However, he did not expect that the Chinese Empire really ignored the friendship between the two countries and did not give Germany face on these key issues, which made Ribbentrop feel that the Chinese Empire and Germany were not allies at all, and they both treated each other as potential enemies.

There is no way to do this, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Between the Chinese Empire and Germany, they were both planning for the post-war period. Both countries want to trick each other. Initially, both sides were very obscure. However, from the point of view of now, both sides have put these issues on the table.

In the end, when Ribbentrop left Yenching and returned to Germany, he did not receive a definite answer. It is clear that the Chinese Empire was determined to adopt the procrastination trick and perfunctory Germany. Although the German side is very dissatisfied with this, there is nothing they can do about it. Although Adolf Hitler cursed the Chinese Empire, he did not dare to openly tear his face with the Chinese Empire. If it falls out with the Chinese Empire, it will undoubtedly do more harm than good to Germany.

Of course, the Germans are not going to sit still. With Germany's scientific and technological strength, developing its own aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft is not a big problem at all, but it will inevitably take some detours. However, Adolf Hitler was obsessed with having a powerful navy. No matter how big the investment is, I won't give up. This made Germany tilt its already weak national strength towards the navy, and the German army and air force inevitably suffered some impacts. As far as the overall battle situation is concerned, it will also be affected to some extent.

"Your Majesty, the German envoy is gone. However, when I left, my face was not very good-looking. This time he came to the empire, and neither intention could be realized. I am afraid that this will affect the relationship between our two countries. Foreign Minister Gu Shaochuan said.

"There is no way to do this, the Germans want to take advantage of us and calculate us, and of course we can't give them all those benefits stupidly. Besides, the Germans are not a good thing either. The Russians were massively increasing their troops on the Eastern Front, which was inseparable from the Germans. Their large-scale withdrawal from Poland undoubtedly gave the Russians a signal that they would not have to worry about trouble. Wu Haoxuan said.

Gu Shaochuan nodded, the Chinese Empire was calculating the Germans, and the Germans were also calculating the Chinese Empire. Two countries, no one is far behind. (To be continued.) )
