Only fools will give up this opportunity. They will send people to China immediately after the meeting! Everyone in the conference room was thinking so. Even if they just grabbed a contract of 10,000 cars, it would be enough for their company to spend a year.

"I think... you overestimate the size of the Chinese market and are too optimistic about dumping goods there." Akado had to interrupt the infinite fantasy of the merchants present. He really underestimated the ability of these merchants to dream, so he had to pour a basin of cold water on them: "It is a place that is suffering from war and is now occupied by most of the wealthy areas."

He looked at the stunned crowd in the entire venue and continued his morale-damning remarks: "I regret to say one fact to you, that is, maybe China needs 1 million rifles, maybe they want 5 billion bullets. But the reality is that they don't have the money to buy these things..."

Until the 1970s and 1980s, New China was unable to become a huge and mouth-watering market. The main reasons were two aspects: one was that the country was insufficient foreign exchange reserves, so it was impossible to buy foreign machinery and equipment at all. The other was that people had very limited banknotes and lacked the ability to buy goods. It was not until the reform and opening up countries and people had saved enough money that this huge market gradually became really popular.

The war brought not only trauma to China's ancient land, but also deprived the nation of amazing wealth accumulated over thousands of years. Due to the continuous failure of the incompetent Qing government, the ancient China cedes land and pays more than 720 million taels of silver for compensation, and most of them paid off in full... The only thing left to the suffering Chinese people was the devastation left by the war.

"I am discussing with the financial department about lending money to China to fight against Japanese aggression. Here, I might as well give you a briefing. There are about 100 million imperial Jinmaks. I believe you know how many weapons can be purchased before this." Akado sighed helplessly and said.

Akado also wanted to lend money to China and the entire Europe like the United States after World War II in another time and space, and even supported Europe's reconstruction work for a while. However, his Germans were even poorer than China to some extent, and they could not play any "high-end" aid strategy for China.

Germany has been preparing for war and launching wars for 12 consecutive years. With Mifu Coupon and tricks, it has barely maintained the empire's economy without collapse. At this time, it is impossible to support a country that is already poor and deserted. Akado knows very well how capable he is, and the group behind him cannot sacrifice himself for others and only spend his life to aid China.

What is more in line with Germany's interests is actually the Middle East's resource-for-support model. China has used some of its labor and natural resources to repay the various paid aids provided by Germany. This does sound like exploitation and tricks, but it is easier to implement and easier to implement.

The only thing that gave Akador headache is that this is undoubtedly a huge deduction in the established national policy of uniting China. Most of the United States provided free aid to China by wealth, and even if it requires money, it would not be as petty as Germany. At least in terms of aid, the United States has an advantage over Germany, and Germany's advantage is nothing more than returning the territory.

But in this way, the right to decide the fate is left to China, because after all, the degree of temptation to return the territory and the immediate aid is actually different. Akado is really afraid that China will turn to the United States and completely collapse the strategy of the Third Reich.

"My private representative has already gone to China. If possible, we will transport 30,000 rifles and 200 million rounds of ammunition in advance, and give away 20 Chinese me-109c fighter jets to support their combat against Japan." Akado leaned on the back of his chair and said to the merchants in front of him: "After all, we have not declared war with China, and reasonable diplomacy is within the scope of permission."

"In addition, all business groups and special envoys who go to China need to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and contracts or transactions need to be approved... This is to ensure that everyone here will not make any mistakes that affect the diplomacy of the empire." No one spoke, so Akado continued to talk about his decision. His decision was no different from the imperial edict here, and as long as it is reasonable, everyone will nod and agree immediately.

Sure enough, when he heard Akado say this, the merchants present quickly nodded and said yes. Everyone knows that the Head of State is a famous Chinese expert. Since the Head of State has already developed a set of strategies for China, everyone can just follow the implementation. Many people are used to following the instructions of the Head of State, because the Head of State has not made any strategic mistakes until now.

Rather than saying that all the politicians are here, it is better to say that all the people here are businessmen. Businessmen do not care about the process. They only need to confirm the result of making money. And what is the guarantee of making money? A decision that never makes mistakes is the guarantee of making money! The head of state has this guarantee, so this is the reason why they obey their words.

"Then, let's get to the meeting here! Syndra, remind the Secretariat to leave me a meeting record." Akado stood up and left his seat. He walked out of the conference room door, and behind it was still a group of people who were thrilling in a thunderous mountain voice: "Long live Akado Rudolph, Head of State!"

...

In the dim basement, Stalin sat in his seat with a expressionless face, listening to Zaitsev's report on the news that had just been confirmed: "Comrade Stalin... the news of General Vatujing's death that had been repeatedly broadcast on the German positions has been confirmed to be true. The German army is getting closer and closer to this place, and I still hope that you can move eastward for your own safety."

"Comrade Vatutin... is a noble and good comrade." Stalin stroked the armrest of the chair, ignored Zaitsev's advice, and said to himself: "I should have activated such generals earlier, rather than those borers and cowards who are just like this."

No wonder Stalin said this. On the morning of August 6, Soviet Marshal Temushingo finally surrendered to the pressure and temptation of power from the German army. He published a broadcast announcing his joining the Siberian Federal Government and becoming one of the members of the parliament of this government. This also marked the last force with a swaying attitude outside the Moscow encirclement, which was completely eradicated by the German army.

In fact, this is easy to understand. In comparison, it is indeed a difficult act of treason for seeking Germany like Vlasov, but joining a newly established Russian nation-state is much smaller in this regard. This is also the common idea of ​​many Soviet military commanders, who do not think they have betrayed their own country.

"If possible, give Comrade Vatutin a decent funeral...I will preside over it myself!" Stalin stood up from his chair with all his strength, walked to Zaitsev with a swaying force, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "On Red Square, play the national anthem with my guard of honor and guards!"

"I will try my best to arrange it... Comrade Stalin. However, German shelling may interrupt the entire ceremony, so I suggest that you choose the location of the ceremony near the entrance of the basement, so that it is convenient and concealed." Zaitsev said to Stalin.

Stalin nodded and agreed with Zaitsev's opinion: "I cannot be shot dead by the Germans. Even if I die, I should die in my own hands. I should give myself a decent result like British Prime Minister Churchill! I heard that **** is a very effective way of dying. What do you think of these?"

"Comrade Stalin..." Zaitsev was about to persuade him for a few words, but Stalin himself stopped him.

He waved his hand and asked Zaitsev to stop wailing: "You will have a lot of time to cry for me after I die... Ask my secretary to come, I will write a telegram to send to President Roosevelt of the United States."

Soon, the secretary prepared the typewriter and waited for Stalin, who was already tired, to speak his telegram. Stalin held the table foot and thought for a while before speaking: "Dear President Roosevelt, thank you for your strong support for the Soviet Union's resistance to German aggression... After the hard battle, we regretted that we were unable to complete the mission of defending our country. Now, I, Joseph Visarionovich Stalin, have no hope of victory. The first regret in my life is that I was unable to save my motherland, and the second regret is that I did not meet an outstanding person like you. No matter what, I will fight to the last moment, and I hope you can continue to fight with the United States... May the United States win, and may the world always remember the Soviet country... Your close friend, Stalin."

The secretary typed out the message Stalin wanted to send on the typewriter, then tore it off and handed it to Stalin for him to read. Stalin did not take the message, but waved his hand to signal the other party to send it directly. So the secretary had to leave Stalin's office with the documents in it, and closed the door before leaving.
