Time is like water, and a month passed in 1925. In March 1925, with the increasing size of the National Defense Force, Akado was recently worried about how to secretly support such a large defense force expenditure.
Because of the existence of the Coalition Arms Control Committee, the German government could not spend too much money on the military spending of the National Defense Forces, although the defense force funds distributed on the scale of 100,000 people are enough to feed more than 200,000 regular troops, but because they actually have close to 320,000 People, so the funds of the National Defense Force are still stretched.
Akado ’s internal German Merchant Group has donated tens of millions of Deutsche Marks to the renewal of the German Wehrmacht. Akado ’s private company has also provided nearly 1,000 cars and 3,000 motorcycles to the Wehrmacht, but these equipment are distributed. Paying 300,000 soldiers is still a lot of money.
Recently, because Chiang Kai-shek led the Huangpu Military Academy Teaching Corps to organize the first eastward expedition, he ordered 200 million rounds of rifle and pistol bullets from Germany, and purchased an additional 30,000 m25 steel helmets for future military expansion. Funds have been obtained, and part of the money for this batch of equipment will be liquidated in China with scarce rubber and brass from Germany.
In China, where war is endless, relying on loans from the United States, Britain and other countries to buy arms has reached a dead end. The credit of China ’s loans has been exhausted in the banks of these countries. The amount of funds has not been as huge as before.
The German Defence Force, which most supports the Chinese Kuomintang group, has no extra money to provide to China in the distance because of its own development needs. After all, Germany ’s own funds are also very tight, long-term arrears of war compensation from France and Britain, and even the reimbursement of business expenses of domestic officials.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek of China and Akado of Germany contacted each other in private telegram to understand each other's difficulties, so there was this kind of arms trade that used rubber and brass to buy German fire and barter.
At this juncture, Akado ushered in a special guest, the help of the diplomat from the Japanese Empire, Yamashita.
"Hello, Mr. Kosuke Yamashita." Akado chose the meeting place in a private apartment in Krupp in Berlin, because the meeting was confidential and private in nature and not official.
"Hello General Akado." Yamashita, as one of the powerful assistants of the Japanese Foreign Minister, was able to be selected to secretly negotiate in Germany. Naturally, he was excellent. He was first-class in German and polite. Cardo bowed at 90 degrees, which made people feel very good.
"Mr. Yamashita, bowing is not a popular etiquette in Germany. You can use the handshake next time you meet." Akado smiled and said to Kosuke Yamashita. The Japanese will not bow to a Chinese, they will only raise their butcher knives to them. On the contrary, the Japanese will bow to the Germans-they still have to strengthen themselves!
"The handshake ceremony is a courtesy in an equal relationship, but next time you come, you are asked for it, so you don't dare to use this kind of courtesy." Kosuke Yamashita bowed his head and said.
Akado smiled and waved his hand: "No, Mr. Yamashita, at least we can be friends in private, right? You Japanese like to do a lot of vain, I am not used to it."
"The etiquette is the etiquette. How could there be such a strange expression of hypocrisy?" Kosuke Yamashita looked at Akado and asked.
Akado laughed: "My friend, to be honest, if I don't have the strength, then you won't respect me even if you bow to me. On the contrary, if I have the strength to make you afraid, then even if you don't agree with me Shaking hands, you will tremble when you talk to me, right? "
"General Akado is really an interesting person. You seem to know our Japanese very well. If you are not such a handsome Westerner, I even suspect that you are our Japanese." Kosuke Yamashita nodded and agreed. .
I rely on! You are Japanese! Your whole family is Japanese! Akado scolded angrily in his heart, and found that it was wrong to say so. Yamashita was originally Japanese, so Akado scolded again in his heart: you are xxx, you are a big xxx! Your whole family is big xxx!
Although I thought about it in my heart, Akado still had a smile on his face: "We Germans don't like to turn around and ask questions. What is the purpose of Mr. Yamashita's coming to Germany this time?"
Now that the Korean peninsula is under Japanese rule, could it be that they brought back some habits that like to recognize things in their own homes? Akado sneered a bit in my heart, I know why you came here, you don't say it, I don't say it, to see who can breathe.
"It's no secret, next time I came to Germany for the situation in the Far East and the trade between your country and China," Kosuke Yamashita lowered his head to Akado again.
When asking for people, I'm going down three and four, but when stabbing a knife, it's steady. Akado raised his eyebrows, and then thought a little, before saying: "The Chinese market is very large and attractive. I think companies in any country want to do business with generous Chinese businessmen. No exception."
"Frankly speaking, General Akado, your country and China are engaged in an arms trade. Recently we received information that a German Hercules-class transport ship loaded with ammunition was unloaded in Guangzhou, which gave us the strategy of the Great Japanese Empire in the China region. Has an impact. "Kosuke Yamashita said angrily.
"Where is this news from? We do provide a lot of arms to China, but I am not very clear about the recent arms sales to China. Are you sure the information is accurate?" Akado pretended to be confused and asked Yamashita's help. .
Yamashita nodded: "We have our intelligence channels in China. This news is very accurate. We even know that the Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang forces actually possessed more than 900 artillery instead of the 100 claimed by the outside world. In addition, they sold close to 500 warlords everywhere Cannon. "
Yamashita glanced at Akado and said, "And most of these cannons are advanced howitzers made by German Krupp. Chiang Kai-shek has also secretly hidden dozens of aircraft and is secretly building an airport near Guangzhou. I also want Continue, General Akado? "
The traitors and the traitors should be hanged. Akado thought bitterly that the Japanese could obtain all the information they wanted in China. The accuracy of these information was surprising. Everyone already knows.
What exactly do Chiang Kai-shek ’s counter-espionage departments eat? They turned out to have no secrets in front of the Japanese like a naked woman. Akado felt that it would be better to open the list of weapons secretly traded with China and read it in front of the Japanese. The Japanese in the province imagined China ’s strength to be too strong.
"Mr. Yamashita, I said that Germany did sell some weapons to China, and your country has no right to interfere in our merchants’ foreign trade. These trades include arms business. "Akado said displeasedly:" Even It ’s the coalition arms control committee, and it ca n’t stop the profit-making behavior of my fire merchants.

"Japan can cooperate with Germany, including many aspects of cooperation. We can buy a lot more arms and materials than China." Yamashita took out the biggest bargain he brought this time.
"We can earn more. If we continue to sell Chinese weapons, and you will buy our weapons to suppress China, this is two dollars, right?" Akado said with a smile.
"How do you know that we will buy your weapons? Our Great Japanese Empire can produce weapons ourselves!" Yamashita retorted excitedly.
Akado sneered: "You? Your weapons are not good, our German weapons are the best in the world."
What a hate! It's like when you said that Japanese cars are bad when you were alive, but now that Japanese cars are not good with weapons always have a straightforward taste! Cool! What a cool!
"What if the navy of the Great Japanese Empire strengthened its patrols on the southeastern coastal area of ​​China, caught suspicious smuggling ships, and happened to catch some transport ships in your country?" Yamashita threatened.
He glanced at Akado and said with a sneer: "After verification, Krupp may not have produced this batch of German fire that we seized. The joint arms control committee can intervene in this matter. "
"Ha ha ha ha ha. Then why don't you try it? What do you do to me?" Akado laughed for a while before saying, "I can send a car to take you, not far from here, only about 20 minutes. Distance. "
I can go long ago! Yamashita's budding teeth tickled, but he couldn't say anything. The Japanese intelligence service has been following the information from China ’s smuggling of German fire, knowing that the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union have been tied to a tank by the German interest chain. If Japan clarifies this, it will break Germany, Britain, the United States, China, the Soviet Union and even the Netherlands Waiting for the country's wealth-this is no different from finding death.
"So, ask General Akado, how can we stop Germany from exporting weapons to China?" Yamashita's leaving the sofa finally sat back again, looking helplessly at Akado and asked.
"Don't always think about China's problems. Does Japan actually have its own friends in the far west?" Akado said with a smile, a fake smile on his face.
"Yes! General Akado, you are a loyal friend of the Great Japanese Empire far away in the western world." Yamashita almost spitted out after saying this, and thankfully he was a diplomat and a qualified diplomat.
"So, there is nothing to talk about between friends, right?" Akado continued to ask.
"Yes! Completely correct, General Akado." Yamashita was crying and laughing.
"Then next, let's talk about the issue of Chinese weapons." Akado extended his hand with a smile.
Yamashita Kosuke was helpless, so he extended his hand and held it tightly with the opposite hand.
