Chapter 566

Ribbentrop's attitude was simply a 180-degree turn.

In the past two days, Ribbentrop has been entertaining Khrushchev. His attitude is quite sincere, explaining the various difficulties of his own side. The attitude became more and more tough, until he was forced to find Cyric.

As a result, after looking for Cyric, this is the attitude, and his answer represents Cyric's attitude.

Hearing this, Khrushchev became anxious.

He guessed everything. Now, the Soviet Union is undergoing a major purge, and there is no preparation for war at all. His so-called use of war to intimidate Germany is just a speculation. Those who are not well prepared for war, as for a large-scale invasion of Germany and stabbing Germany from the east, it is even more insignificant.

You must know that Germany is now invincible across the whole of Europe. If the Soviet Union starts a war against Germany, the Soviet Union will burn itself out.

From a macro perspective, the current Soviet Union's use of troops against Germany is in line with the Soviet Union's strategic choice for the next 100 years. However, from a micro perspective, the current Soviet Union does not focus on fighting Germany at all.

Moreover, the war in the Far East is not over yet.

The historical battle of Nomenkan started in May 1939 and did not end until September 1939. The island nation in history, relying on those backward weapons, persisted for so long.

And now, the island country has obtained the support of Germany's weapons, especially the tank technology of the Panther 2, which has been lagging behind Germany. Now the island country is eager to fight with the Soviet Union, and the battle will not be temporary. Accepted after a while.

The Great Purge killed many of the Soviet Union's outstanding army commanders. Their combat effectiveness was actually not very high, and they almost depended on human life.

Khrushchev has always been tough, and now, as soon as he sees the German side being tough, he feels his momentum suddenly disappear.

What was his purpose when he came? It is to use all means to let Germany deliver the aircraft carrier as soon as possible, deliver the naval guns for the battleship, and even export a large amount of steel to the Soviet Union to build the Soviet battleship.

But what about now? The other party has already issued an expulsion order!

For a moment, Khrushchev was in a dilemma. There were two plans in his mind, thinking back and forth.

Or, continue to be tough and threaten each other with war! What Germany is most afraid of is fighting on two fronts. Now, Germany is obviously not abiding by the contract and fooling the Soviet Union. Do the Germans want the Soviet Union to go to war against Germany?

Although the Soviet Union did not really plan to go to war, can this kind of war intimidation scare the Germans?

The other is of course to be soft-hearted, begging the other party to quickly build a battleship for their own side, there is no delay, the Soviet Navy is waiting for it!

How to do? Which plan?

Khrushchev was still thinking about it, when he heard the other party continue to speak: "Mr. Khrushchev, I also understand your anxiety, but there is nothing we can do about it. Now, France will soon be After surrendering, we will be able to slow down after the surrender of France. At that time, your project will be carried on first, what do you think?"

France is about to surrender soon. In fact, this is nothing at all. Now this news is thrown out, of course, to make Khrushchev surrender.

Khrushchev's trump card is naturally that Germany is afraid of fighting on two fronts. Once the Soviet Union uses troops against Germany, Germany will be too busy. After all, the main force is on the western front.

However, once France surrendered, the two-front battle would cease to exist. If the Soviet Union dared to make trouble on the Polish border, then Germany could march east at any time and beat the Soviet Union to the brink.

The Soviets' trump card is useless.

Just now, the news of Germany's landing in Brest has spread all over the world, and Khrushchev also knows it. Therefore, it is also possible that Ribbentrop said that France is about to surrender.

Gritting his teeth, Khrushchev finally chose the second option.

"Mr. Ribbentrop, can you promise? Once the French war is over, you will immediately continue to work on our aircraft carrier, so that our aircraft carrier can reach the state of service as soon as possible?" Khrushchev asked.

"That's for sure, we in Germany have always abided by the spirit of the contract." Ribbentrop almost made a promise with a pat on his chest. Of course, this promise was invalid.

Now, as Germany's foreign minister, Ribbentrop knows Germany's overall strategy. After defeating Britain and France, it will eventually go to war with the Soviet Union. Therefore, the aircraft carrier built for the Soviet Union will never reach the hands of the Soviets. inside.

"What about our 406mm naval gun?"

"As long as the war is over, give priority to casting for you."

"We would also like to order some high-quality steel plates from you for the construction of battleships."

"No problem at all." Ribbentrop agreed to all the conditions.

At that time, there are still many reasons to prevaricate them. The French war is over, but the war against Britain has begun again. Soviets, wait!

Anyway, the iron ore exported by the Soviet Union to Germany is already piled up, and it is enough to build two more aircraft carriers.

After this conversation, the arrogant Khrushchev softened, and Ribbentrop once again put on the peculiar smile of a diplomat: "Mr. Khrushchev, please rest assured that our Germany will not treat us badly. For your ally, we will definitely guarantee the quality, and we will quickly complete the construction of the warship for you as time permits, please rest assured.”

With this promise from Germany, Khrushchev can also go back to do business with confidence.

The atmosphere became friendly again, Khrushchev suddenly remembered something, and continued: "Your industry, especially the military industry, is progressing too fast, especially your tanks, and now the tank soldiers all over the world are envious of your Fang's equipment."

"Equipment, it is impossible to always lead the way. Your Mr. Koshkin, the designed T-32 tank has very good potential. We really want to visit Mr. Koshkin and ask him for his thoughts. Well. If it is appropriate, can we invite him to Germany for an academic discussion on armored equipment?"

Hearing this, something suddenly appeared in Khrushchev's eyes.

"I will definitely pass on your request back to China," Khrushchev said.

Ribbentrop was like a mirror in his heart. Before he knew it, he had helped Reinhardt with a few words.
