Chapter 395 Maybe we will meet each other at that time! "Master, how are you going to transport these resources?" Meng Fanglia looked at the list handed over by Cun Yunsheng and was stunned for a while. Although they are all in short supply, for the current Nanyang Task Force, they are not enough. Nothing. Because they have regained lost territory one after another, they have many rubber plantations in their hands. As for tungsten ore, it is not impossible to solve it. After the ninth theater has dealt with the Japanese troops on the opposite side, we can consider taking back Gan Province. By then there will be a large amount of tungsten ore. Now there is a small amount of tungsten ore, but it is enough to sustain the German army for a while. "Of course they are merchant ships. After all, we are the Allies. I believe those Allied warships in the Indian Ocean should give us some face." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and said. "Do you believe it?" Meng Fanlao asked. "I don't believe it." Cun Yunsheng spread his hands.
Even if the Allied flag is hoisted, once an Allied warship is encountered, it is natural to board the ship for inspection. It's better if there are no prohibited items. Once there are prohibited items, they will definitely be confiscated. The best way is to transport by submarine, but the volume of submarine transport is too small. "It would be great if the German army could cross the canal and occupy the Middle East." Cun Yunsheng murmured while looking at the map. Hearing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Who do you think you are? The German army still has to listen to you? Attack if you ask him to attack? But he knew he couldn't say such words, so he said it tactfully. “How about letting William try it?” The two parties have cooperated many times and have a good relationship. It is completely possible to try it through each other. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng touched his chin, thought for a while, and agreed. "Well, you can definitely try it." "In this case, you send someone to contact William and ask him to come. If I remember correctly, this guy should be in Xiangjiang. The information Anjia sent last time specifically emphasized it." "Yes!" Meng Fanlao responded. At this time, William, who was far away in Xiangjiang, was really distressed. The German army exchanged resources with the Japanese army, and all the tasks fell on him. During this time, he has been busy with resource statistics, delivering goods himself, etc. As a result, it didn't take long for all kinds of bad news to come out. A neutral merchant ship was seized by the Allies. It was transported by submarine, but was sunk halfway through the transport. Very few resources actually make it to the Suez Canal.
This troubled him very much. This kind of loss is too great, even Germany cannot bear it. Thinking of this, William couldn't help but sigh. He hasn't figured out how to solve this problem yet. Just then, the secretary walked in with a letter in his hand. William thought it was some kind of party invitation and refused it directly. Who knows, the secretary shook his head. "The messenger said he was an old friend of yours." Hearing that his old friend William couldn't help but be surprised, he still took the envelope, opened it, glanced at it, and stood up suddenly. "Make arrangements, I want to go to Hanoi immediately." "Yes!" Although the secretary was surprised, he made arrangements immediately. It didn't take long for William to come to Hanoi again. No wonder he was so anxious, because the person who wrote the letter was Cun Yunsheng, and the content was very simple, that is, I can solve your problem of insufficient resources. Arriving in Hanoi on a familiar road, William couldn't help but sigh that the changes here were still great. The roads seemed to have expanded and become cleaner. Not only that, a large number of new houses have been built on both sides of the road, and the originally sluggish market has gradually become bustling with people. It seems like there has never been a war here. When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, William met Cun Yunsheng again. "Dear Mr. William, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you seem to have become more haggard. This is not a good sign." Cun Yunsheng started to joke when he saw William. Hearing this, William said with a bitter look on his face. "Sir, please don't make fun of me. During this period of time, I was worried about raising those supplies, but I couldn't sleep well for several days and nights. Especially after I learned that it was sunk, it was even harder to sleep." This is true, William is indeed worried about those supplies. "Cun, how can you help me?" William looked at the other party expectantly. "Oh? I wonder what benefits I can get?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile. William would have been very angry before, but now he has long been numb. So he looked at the other person expressionlessly, as if waiting for the other person's next words. Unexpectedly, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party with innocent eyes. "Don't look at me like that. You know, although I want a lot of things, the advice I give is definitely very useful." Hearing this, William sighed lightly. This was a good thing. Although the other party asked for a high price, it was indeed reliable. "Tell me, what do you want?" William looked at the other person and asked.
"Don't worry, if you don't ask for too much, you will definitely be able to come up with it." Cun Yunsheng chuckled and started to come up with a list that he had thought about for a long time. After receiving the list, William was stunned for a moment. There was only one page, which was indeed beyond his expectation. He thought that the other party had changed his gender, but he was completely fooled the next second. Although there are fewer things, they are all high-tech gadgets. At least in this era it is definitely top technology. Jet fighter, including a complete set of jet engines, and related materials technology. This is definitely Germany's most advanced fighter technology currently. Last time he only gave relevant rocket skills, but only a small part. This time he directly asked for the full set of skills. It can be said that the lion opens its mouth wide. William really wanted to curse at this. He thought he had really changed his gender, but now it seems that he was just overthinking it. The other party didn't change at all, he was still as greedy as ever. The technology related to Zeiss telescopes requires high-precision technology this time, not the previous civilian technology. 10,000 tons hydraulic press, own boiler, etc. They are all technologies that are important to great powers. Normally, it would never be transferred, but this time everything has been arranged. "Impossible, these technologies will never and cannot be transferred." William did not get angry, but just shook his head and refused. "Don't refuse in a hurry, don't you listen to my conditions?" Cun Yunsheng was not surprised by William's reaction, but he would still find it strange if the other party didn't say that. "Say it." William motioned for the other party to continue speaking. He wanted to see what the other party could say. "Before that, I would like to ask, how are you preparing for the winter offensive on the Eastern Front? Are the soldiers and weapons and equipment in place?" Cun Yunsheng did not answer immediately, but asked instead. Hearing this, William frowned slightly and just said expressionlessly. "Once it's in place, it will definitely give the Soviet army a drink." "Really?" Cun Yunsheng said with a half-smile, and continued without waiting for the other party to speak. "As far as I know, the US military transported a large amount of supplies to the Soviet army during this period. The Soviet army on the front line is now far stronger than before. If you continue to look at the problem from the same perspective as before, I am afraid you will suffer a big loss." Now William couldn't hold himself any longer. If it's true, I'm afraid they will really have a hard time this winter. "And as far as I know, the Soviet army has assembled almost five thousand tanks for the winter counterattack, not including other tanks." Cun Yunsheng once again dropped a piece of bombshell news. "Really?" William lost his voice. "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile. William nodded silently to this, it was true, he was indeed not lied to.
It’s just no less than five thousand tanks. Isn’t this too many? Is the Soviet army still so strong after the war? Isn't this too scary? "So do you still think you can win? I even suspect that you won't be able to hold on anymore." Cun Yunsheng's words left William speechless and he didn't know how to refute. "Once you lose, these technologies will still belong to others. Why not use these technologies in exchange for things that enhance your strength." Cun Yunsheng advised again. "Based on the lessons learned from the last war, I believe that if you lose again in this war, I believe that the Allies will completely dismember you and make it impossible for you to stand up again." Cun Yunsheng's words are not alarmist, but true. At least William felt the same way. He did feel that if the war was lost, the Allies might really dismember them. Thinking of this, William looked at each other. "Even so, the value of these technologies is very high." "It's just that these things are completely inadequate." Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng nodded and did not refute his words, but said calmly. "What if I can let you own tungsten ore?" "What do you mean?" William looked at the other person in confusion. What does this mean? What does it mean to allow them to own tungsten ore? What tungsten ore was discovered? Impossible, there are absolutely no tungsten mines in their territory. Wait, looking at the other person's expression, it's obviously not a joke, that means it's true. Damn it! What do the exploration engineers raised by the empire do for a living? Why was nothing found? Thinking of this, William took a deep breath. He knew that since the other party said this, it meant that he must have discovered something. If there is really tungsten ore, it is indeed good news, which means that the empire can reduce many costs and increase the production of armor-piercing bullets. Especially after learning that the Soviet army was going to mobilize 5,000 tanks, he instantly became worried. Without enough armor-piercing bullets, relying on the infantry to deal with the tanks would be simply wishful thinking. "Literally, there is a tungsten mine in your territory, very close to you, and the reserves are very high." Cun Yunsheng explained with a smile. Hearing this, William became somewhat excited. If it was true, it would indeed be good news. "If it is true, I can consider these conditions of yours, but it is unrealistic to agree to them all. These technologies have cost us a huge price."
Cun Yunsheng had no objection to this, because what the other party said was true. The amount of funds required for scientific research can be said to be huge. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng dropped another bombshell. "What if I can help you solve the rubber problem?" Cun Yunsheng asked again. "What?" He cared more about rubber than the stimulation brought by tungsten ore. Tungsten ore is required for armor-piercing projectiles, but rubber is different and is required for many weapons and equipment. For example, airplanes, cannons, etc. are all inseparable from rubber. The quality of synthetic rubber is still a bit poor, not as good as pure natural rubber. "Your recent merchant ships have been seized by the Allies. It is almost impossible to get these rubber resources back." Cun Yunsheng ruthlessly tore open the opponent's wounds again. "My solution is for your North African Army to immediately cross the canal and attack the Middle East and other places." As he spoke, Cun Yunsheng began to give him a detailed introduction to the benefits of crossing the canal and capturing the entire Middle East. He then used merchant ships to transport the rubber to the Middle East, which greatly shortened the distance and reduced the risk. Originally, their transportation route was also this one, but that route was not suitable for large-scale transportation. Next, large-scale transportation of resources will definitely require a safe zone. After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, William fell into deep thought. There is nothing wrong with the plan. The key issue is that the German army does not want to fight on multiple fronts now. It is enough for the North African Army to hold the current defense line. Cooperating with Egypt, which had just surrendered, their situation in North Africa was still good. Crossing the canal at this time may not be a good thing for them. But the method proposed by Cun Yunsheng is indeed quite good. "I'm afraid there is little hope." After a long time, William said. "Why?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party in confusion. "We don't want to start a war on multiple fronts for the time being. The logistical pressure on us is too great. We need to adjust." William explained. This made Cun Yunsheng suddenly realize that he was still wondering. How did the German offensive in North Africa come to a halt? It turned out to be this. It seems that the German army also knows the consequences of fighting on multiple fronts. It’s just that we’ve reached this point, and if we stop now, what’s the use? Don't you want to take over the entire Middle East and Persia in one fell swoop? "Adjustment? Once the Allied forces gather more and more troops on the other side of the canal, do you think you can hold it? It is better to cross the canal now and destroy the Allied troops on the other side of the canal." "There are even unexpected surprises." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.
An unexpected surprise? Thinking of the natives who helped them transport equipment before, William suddenly had an idea. If these natives were really willing to help, they could indeed consider making an appointment to cross the canal. "And once you cross the canal, the Allies will be panicked. Maybe they will dispatch my troops for reinforcements. Wouldn't it be more convenient to transport rubber then?" Cun Yunsheng said jokingly. "Transfer your troops?" William chuckled now. This makes Cun Yunsheng feel a little unhappy, what? What's the meaning? Look down on us? Do you think my troops can't defeat you? When the forces are equal, you may not lose. "What's the problem? Once the canal is occupied by you, the Allied forces will be beyond their reach. In addition to us, the troops they can mobilize include the Army in the Pacific. However, they have been held back by the Japanese army recently, so they can only mobilize us." Cun Yun Sheng said incredulously. After hearing this, William thought about it and felt that it was indeed possible. If this is the case, then transporting rubber would be quite convenient. "I need to report these suggestions of yours. I can't make the decision." After thinking for a while, William said. "No problem, I'm waiting for your good news." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile on his face. (End of chapter)
