    At Berlin's airport, a Lufthansa JU52 passenger plane slowly entered the tarmac. When he saw the plane, Ribbentrop, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked up.  The German Foreign Minister, who was ridiculed by many because of his marriage and his aunt's involvement in the aristocratic circles, moved very quickly.  When the cabin door opened, he had already walked to the door: "Your Excellency Motolov, welcome to your arrival."

    After receiving Motolov¡¯s telegram, Hitler and Ribbentrop attached great importance to his visit.  The failure of the Battle of Kunduz made these two extremely politically sensitive people immediately smell the opportunity.  Motolov is a well-known diplomat in Europe. Although his political views and ideologies are different, he is very popular personally.  Of course, behind this welcome was the fear and conspiracy of Britain, France, Germany and other countries towards the Soviet Union, and he himself knew this very well.  If Stalin hadn't changed his mind this time, he wouldn't have come here, so he was particularly enthusiastic when he saw Ribbentrop: "Your Excellency, Minister, thank you for welcoming me personally. This really surprises me."

    "This is what I should do. Germany and the Soviet Union are not only neighbors, but also partners since 1921." Ribbentrop's aristocratic status was ridiculed by many people in the Nazi party, but his flexible diplomatic skills made him  People are impeccable.  It was his efforts that finally led to a naval agreement with Britain, allowing the German Navy to obtain 36% of the British Navy's construction tonnage.  Therefore, Motolov did not dare to underestimate this person, not to mention what he said was right. Starting from 1921, the Soviet Union and Germany launched a series of secret cooperation. From 1929 to 1933 alone, the total trade volume between the two countries reached 7 billion.  Mark, twice the amount of Sino-German trade, more than half of which is the industrial machinery and technology that the Soviet Union most urgently needs.  The aircraft and tanks of the Soviet Union all had the participation of German companies, and the engines were all imported. Even the submarines were built with the help of Germany and provided with blueprint technology.  A large number of German officers, including Goering and Guderian, also secretly studied and visited the Soviet Union. Tukhachevsky and others in the Soviet army have also been working on the Soviet-German alliance.  Germany even dispatched dozens of ace pilots from the European War to help the Soviet Union train a large number of outstanding pilots.

    Ribbentrop moved his thin lips: "Your Excellency Motolov, I have heard about the incident in Afghanistan. I believe that the setback is only temporary and will not trouble you and Mr. Stalin." It's really impossible to boil the pot.  Which pot to bring!  Motolov sneered secretly.  This guy with a knife-like face clearly understood the purpose of his visit, so he deliberately opened the scars in order to brand the following negotiations as "the Soviet Union took the initiative to seek Germany."  However, since Stalin had changed his previous strategy, he had nothing bad to say. After getting into the car, he clearly stated his purpose: "Your Excellency, the situation in Afghanistan is not as bad as imagined. Although our army is temporarily at a disadvantage. But more  The army is rushing there, and I believe that we will be able to defeat the Chinese and drive them back to the east in the spring. I came here hoping to purchase some machinery and equipment from your country, and to express the goodwill of General Secretary Stalin and the Soviet Union to Mr. Hitler  .¡±

    "Purchasing equipment?" Ribbentrop tapped his fingers lightly on the leather seat of the car. As one of Hitler's most trusted people, he knew that the latter was planning to annex Hungary in revenge for the clown who had humiliated Germany during the European War.  nation.  But the European War has proved that no matter how powerful a country is, it is very dangerous to face a two-front war.  Therefore, Hitler had long hoped to sign a peace treaty with the Soviet Union first.  If we can take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the Soviet Union, then the next operations will be much smoother.  As for China's reaction, he didn't mind. Although Hitler had thought about winning over China, the problem was that China was too far away.  Unable to substantially help Germany, even Manstein bluntly said, "By forming an alliance with China, the only news that can be heard is that Beijing swallows up the entire Southwest Pacific and India, and controls the Persian Gulf and Suez Canal. The most fertile land in the world will be lost."  All land will be captured in one fell swoop. Even if Germany defeats Europe, it will only be able to swim in the Mediterranean. Worse still, an alliance with China will eventually lead to Japan's defeat and involve the United States in this war."

    Although these words made Redl very angry, and they were obviously metaphors for the vulnerability of the German navy, they were not unreasonable.  In addition to geography, after China and Germany form an alliance, China will inevitably attack the Soviet Union. Germany will likely be implicated in retaliatory attacks by Moscow, and will be in trouble of fighting on two fronts. It is also very likely that due to the need to compete for the Pacific, Germany will be least willing to  The United States is now involved in this war.  Because of these considerations, the voice within Germany of forming an alliance with China has been very low.  Therefore, exporting some weapons to the Soviet Union is not a big problem.  He decided to probe first and asked: "Mr. Motolov, we can provide some necessary help. But you should know that our two countries currently have great differences on Spain and some things! If we sell advanced equipment to your country  equipment, there will definitely be opposition from some MPs and military officers.¡±

    How could Motolov fail to hear what he meant? He immediately said: "Mr. Minister, the previous disputes between our two countries were caused by Britain and the United States' wrong propaganda and mutual understanding! So General Secretary Stalin hopes thatWe hope to change these problems and are ready to open some military exercise projects to your country to increase military transparency and promote mutual trust.  Chairman Kalinin is also already thinking of ways to persuade Spain to stop the civil war. The war has brought too much suffering to the Spanish people and it is time to end it.  In addition, I also brought orders worth 800 million marks!  In addition to exchanging oil and raw materials, we are prepared to pay part of it directly in gold!  "

    Ribbentrop was calm on the surface and pretended to be thoughtful, but he was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Stalin to make such a big concession this time. Not only did he plan to stop supporting the Spanish National Army, but he was actually planning to purchase 800 million yuan in one go.  Mark's equipment and weapons.  I am both happy and worried at the same time. What I am happy about is that now is the time when Germany is fully preparing for its armaments. This order will greatly help the development of armaments.  The worry is that we don¡¯t know what the Soviet Union wants. If the weapons sold eventually help the Soviet Union defeat China, wouldn¡¯t it be stronger and more difficult to deal with in the future?

    I couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°I wonder what you want to purchase in thanks?¡±

    ? Motolov talked about the procurement project.  According to the Soviet Union's ideas, they will provide oil, cotton, phosphate, iron ore, chromium ore, manganese ore and other strategic materials worth 600 million marks and 200 million marks of gold. The purchase includes a battleship and two heavy cruisers.  , 650 bf109 fighters, 450 he111 bombers, 220 ju82 dive bombers and a full set of production technology.  Directly purchase aircraft engines, steam turbines, tank diesel engines, artillery samples, tanks, communication equipment, oil refining, chemical industry and metallurgy, electrolytic aluminum, more than 300 types of machine tools and machinery, etc.  Different from the past, this time not only requires manufacturing technology and samples, but also directly purchases a large number of finished products!  Finally, to ensure the quality and deadline of supply.  Stalin also prepared to send a committee to be stationed in Berlin to supervise the delivery time.

    Even Ribbentrop, who had experienced negotiations between the British and German navies, secretly took a breath. He did not expect that the Soviet Union had such a big appetite and would purchase thousands of finished aircraft alone!  This shows that the failure of the Battle of Kunduz really stimulated Stalin, but this business is also a bit tricky!  Should it be done?  Apart from trade, can¡¯t we talk about other things?

    Ribbentrop took a deep breath, turned to look into Motolov's eyes, and deliberately prolonged his voice: "Your Excellency Motolov, these purchases are very important and require the head of state to make decisions. But there is something I want to hear.  Here's your opinion. It's about Poland."

    "Poland?" Motolov's expression changed slightly.

    ?¡­

    When Motolov arrived in Berlin and couldn¡¯t wait to make a coveted offer to Germany, Yang Qiu had already arrived at the Sartu Oil Field in Anda County, Heilongjiang.

    The Sartu Oilfield is the Daqing Oilfield in later generations.  In 1922, the Sartu area was designated as a national farm and livestock breeding and breeding base, but it has not been developed due to its own technical deficiencies and Japan's unresolved problems.  It was not until the import of deep drilling equipment from the United States in 1930 that the petroleum survey team of the Geological Survey led by Li Siguang began to station and survey.  It took two years and millions to finally drill out an industrial stream suitable for mining.

    It can be said that the Saltu Oilfield is the slowest oil project in the country from discovery to construction.  The main reason for this is that this project has high confidentiality requirements and cannot use joint ventures or import large quantities of foreign petrochemical equipment like the Northwest Oilfield, so it was not put into production until the first phase last year.  The Sartu Oilfield has set many firsts in the country, and its equipment self-production rate is as high as 93%.  The refining capacity is the largest in the country, and the total investment in supporting oil pipelines, roads, railways and airports is also the largest among domestic petroleum projects.  Finally, in order to strengthen confidentiality, the military also declared this area to be a military restricted area, protected by the air force.  Recently, a radar station was added nearby to monitor the sky.

    Since the construction started last year, a total of more than 4 million tons of oil have been mined and smelted.  "Here is the sulfur separation plant, and there is a gas treatment plant over there." Weng Wenhao, Minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources, was introducing the oil field situation to Yang Qiu: "The oil here has high sulfur content. The amount of gas is also high.  , which is really rare in the world. Both oil production and refining have begun to expand their capacity. The second phase of the project will be completed by the end of 2041 at the latest. By then, it will definitely reach a scale of 20 million tons per year. In addition to oil, we considered at the beginning of construction  When gas is utilized, the current products are mainly gasoline, diesel, nitrogen fertilizer, synthetic ammonia, benzene, methane, etc., followed by nylon, polyvinyl chloride"

    "president."

    When Weng Wenhao was describing the blueprint of Sartu Chemical Industry to Yang Qiu, Jiang Fangzhen and Gu Weijun came over: "I just received it, Motolov has arrived in Berlin for a visit."

    "Haha, Stalin has changed his character and actually mobilized reinforcements." Yang Qiu waved his hand to Weng Wenhao, indicating that he would wait a moment, then picked up the telegram sent from Germany and read it carefully.  Although the telegraph is simple, its meaning is profound.

    He knew that the Soviet Union and Germany briefly joined hands before World War II, but he didn¡¯t know that this time he was forced to take the initiative to compromise with Germany.What kind of trouble will happen between the two families?  The situation has developed to this point. In fact, he no longer cares about external political competition. The Soviet Union is his biggest unswerving goal. If he wants to defeat the Soviet Union during World War II and complete the integration of Asian power, he must drive the Soviet Union to Germany.  , even if the Soviet Union and Germany join hands to unleash unimaginable power, it must be done.  However, he was not too worried. The Soviet Union and Germany did have complementary advantages, but the hostility between the two leaders was not easy to resolve. As long as they carve up Poland, it would be impossible to have true mutual trust like allies, and Germany's sophisticated  Industrial products were not easily manufactured on a large scale by the Soviet Union.

    "Contact Yan Baohang and be sure to find out the details of the transaction between the two companies. If you sign an agreement, you must get photos or copies of the contract! In addition, send a report to Yue Peng. When the weather clears in Afghanistan, put more pressure on Stalin and continue bombing Termey.  This is and Herat." After Yang Qiu returned the telegram to Jiang Fangzhen, he turned to Gu Weijun: "Shaochuan, you go to Saudi Arabia and Iran immediately. Ma Kui happens to have an oil agreement to sign with Reza Khan. Go and pressure him.  End the battle. By the way, talk to Reza Khan. If he really wants to revitalize the country and get rid of Britain and the Soviet Union, then he should express some sincerity and at least sign an agreement with Saudi Arabia. After that, he will go to the UK. Chamberlain will not look down on it.  If you understand the current situation in Afghanistan, you will definitely find a way to support the Soviet Union. Your job is to tell him clearly that if they secretly deal with the Soviet Union to deal with us, then we will cancel our commitment not to station troops in Kandahar!"

    Amidst the decisive sound, the uniform oil pumps in the distance rose and fell, injecting a steady stream of black blood into the tank that could no longer brake
