On July 27, the German weapons and equipment for the five divisions that Jiangdong and the officers were expecting finally arrived.

In order to transport the equipment of these five divisions to Jincheng, Johnson's transportation company used all transportation vehicles and also rented some from other companies.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the long motorcade dragged black smoke and drove to the 39th Army Corps barracks in the northwest of Jincheng.

Jiang Dong, Xie Chengrui, Qi Zhemao, and Mr. Rabe were waiting at the gate of the military camp early.

This time it was Karl who was in charge of pressing the car. This old classmate's military rank had been promoted again and he should now be called Major Karl.

There was no trace of journey fatigue on Carl's young face. He jumped out of the truck and walked toward Jiangdong and the others with long strides.

"Major Carl, it's nice to see you again." Jiang Dong said jokingly.

The smile on Karl's face froze for a moment. He glanced sideways at Jiangdong, then shook hands and said:

"Stop it now.

I heard on the way that you are already a second-level general in the army, one of the most prestigious and capable generals in this country.

God, I am embarrassed to tell people that you are my classmate now.

A general, a major, damn, what a disgrace!"

"Hahaha……"

Jiangdong laughed and gave his old classmate a bear hug.

Karl met the others one by one, and after a few brief greetings, everyone stood at the entrance of the military camp.

Watching one truck after another driving into the barracks, the officers of Jiangdong's group couldn't help smiling on their faces.

Karl put his hands behind his back and looked proud.

There were so many trucks that the entire camp could not stop. Jiangdong had no choice but to let the soldiers unload the trucks first to make room for the trucks outside the military camp.

Mr. Rabe called Karl aside, and the two of them talked carefully, seemingly discussing the domestic situation.

Karl was beaming with joy. War was what young people looked forward to most, especially now that Jiang Dong had become a general. He also wanted to join the ranks of generals.

The more Mr. Rabe listened, the more serious his face became, and eventually he even bent down a little.

A new world war is inevitable!

Although he is a member of the Nazi Party, Mr. Rabe himself is peace-loving and beautiful.

This can be seen when he established a safe zone in Nanjing.

He treated the people of other countries with such care, but now that the people he knew well in his own country were about to go to the battlefield, he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Karl didn't pay attention to Mr. Rabe's expression. After explaining the general situation clearly, he came to Jiangdong's side.

"Jiang, this is the last batch of supplies. When will the remaining equipment arrive, I can't give you an accurate number. I hope you understand."

Jiang Dong nodded and said nothing.

"Before leaving, the head of state asked me to convey his gratitude to you." Speaking of the head of state, Carl's face showed excitement involuntarily.

"The Führer values ​​you very much. We Germans have always valued integrity the most. The equipment of the other divisions will definitely arrive at any time. The Führer hopes that we can always maintain a cooperative relationship, no matter how the world situation changes in the future."

"I am flattered by the attention of your head of state. Germany is my second hometown, and I will always be friends with the Germans." Jiang Dong said calmly.

After Karl heard this, the trace of worry in his eyes disappeared. He dragged Jiangdong to the unloading area of ​​the truck, pointed at some things covered by tarpaulin and said:

"This is a surprise for you, open it and take a look."

Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui looked at each other and opened the tarp first, one on the left and the other on the right.

"88 mm anti-aircraft gun, you brought this thing this time." Before Jiang Dong could speak, Xie Chengrui said in surprise.

Under the oilcloth was the long barrel of an 88mm anti-aircraft gun. There had been a regiment in Jiangdong before this thing, and both he and Xie Chengrui had seen it.

There are many, many tarpaulin unloading areas like this.

This transaction did not include 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Jiangdong looked at Karl in confusion.

Karl opened his hands wide and said exaggeratedly:

"My old classmate, are you surprised or surprised?

In addition to the equipment of five divisions, this time I also brought three regiments of 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Didn’t you realize that there were too many trucks?”

Why did Germany suddenly give three regiments of 88mm anti-aircraft guns? After careful questioning, the reason found made Jiangdong dumbfounded.

The Germans have not yet discovered that the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is a "snake oil".

The German army is expanding, and they also need the equipment of the army divisions very much. Apart from these five divisions, they cannot give more to Jiangdong.

It just so happened that the German military factory rolled out a batch of brand new 88mm anti-aircraft guns. The German army will not have much air defense pressure this year.

The head of state felt that he owed something to Jiangdong, so with a wave of his hand, three regiments of freshly baked 88mm anti-aircraft guns were shipped across the ocean to Jiangdong.

"Hey..." Karl put a hand on Jiang Dong's shoulder,

"Don't you like these things the most? Now they are all yours."

Looking at Karl's unconcerned expression, Jiang Dong tried hard not to laugh.

Later, Rommel discovered that this thing can be used to fight aircraft, and it can be used to fight tanks, fortifications, and infantry...

I wonder if the mustachioed head of state would hold his forehead and sigh at that time.

According to the current progress, the work of unloading equipment will last at least two days.

Qi Zhemao and the staff from the logistics department followed the transporting soldiers with small notebooks to record that the weather was hot and the soldiers were sweating profusely, but no one complained of being tired and they were all very motivated.

Five trucks drove in at the gate of the camp. Karl suddenly rushed out from the shadow of the eaves, lowered his voice, and cautiously said to Jiangdong:

"Jiang, the things pulled by these vehicles cannot be unloaded here."

Seeing the serious expression on Karl's face, Jiang Dong quickly reacted.

The five vehicles circled the camp several times and arrived at the entrance of an independent warehouse.

Jiangdong had some guesses about the contents of the car, so instead of asking ordinary soldiers to unload the goods, he sent all the brothers from the inner guard aboard.

"Er Niu, starting from today, you will lead a team of brothers to guard the warehouse. No one is allowed to enter without my order!"

"yes!!!"

Jiang Dong, Xie Chengrui, Mr. Rabe, and Karl walked into the warehouse.

"The Tiger tanks have been rolled off the production line, right? How much equipment does the German army have now?" Jiang Dong asked as he walked.

Karl shook his head. The quantity of equipment was a military secret. Even if it was the blueprint given by Jiangdong, he couldn't tell.

"Sorry my old classmate."

Jiang Dong smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Wow!"

The oilcloth is like a veil on the face of a beautiful woman. Four people work together to lift it, and the secret is revealed to everyone.

"This..." Xie Chengrui frowned deeply. What appeared in front of him was a pile of miscellaneous parts.

Why is it that a bunch of parts are so mysterious?

Jiangdong probably saw some clues. Karl pointed to the parts and said:

"This is the core drive shaft, this is the outer armor, this is the engine, these are the chassis..."

That's right, the pile of parts piled in front of Jiangdong is the core component of the Tiger tank.

Tanks must be transported by rail. Koto really wanted a complete Tiger, but it was simply impossible.

He did the next best thing and asked Germany to ship over the core components of the Tiger tank.

Except for the tracks and turret, everything needed to assemble the Tiger tank was piled in front of Jiangdong.

While Jiangdong was pondering these parts, Mr. Karl and Mr. Rabe lifted up another piece of oilcloth on the side.

"Jiang...there are two sets of tank engines and fighter jet engines." Jiang Dong specifically asked him to bring it, but Karl was not optimistic about it.

"With China's current industrial strength, even if you have two engine samples, it is impossible for you to photograph your own tanks and aircraft."

Only now did Xie Chengrui understand what these two piles of things were, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Dong in surprise.

Because it was not painted, the armor of the tank was still iron red. But Jiangdong didn't care at all. He caressed these "tatters" affectionately and replied casually:

"I don't want to build tanks or airplanes, I just want to use them for research..."

The three people in the warehouse rolled their eyes at the same time.

China's industrial strength is so weak that it is impossible to build tanks and aircraft based on theory alone.

The reason why Jiangdong went to so much trouble to have the Germans ship the engine and main parts was because he wanted China's own experts to follow suit and take the lead in research.

After the Soviets laid a solid industrial foundation, they would then find ways to build their own tanks and aircraft.

The tractor factory he deliberately requested to establish was to accumulate experience for future tank production.

No one knows about his painstaking efforts, only he himself is constantly preparing.

"By the way, there is one last thing!" Karl suddenly slapped his forehead and led Jiangdong's people to the innermost boxes of the warehouse.
