Chapter 195 The Germans are back.
Baotou.
"Hello Minister Zhao, I didn't expect that you'd be promoted after just a few months of not seeing you."
Ribbent greeted Zhao Tianyang with a smile.
"Hehe, just a lucky break."
Zhao Tianyang said modestly, looked at the people next to Ribbent and asked, "Who are these people?"
"Oh, look at me, I almost forgot to introduce myself."
Ribbent pointed at one of them, a middle-aged man with wisdom in his eyes, and introduced him.
"This is Paul Schmidt, the rocket engineer who invented the ramjet engine."
Then he pointed at several other people and said succinctly, "These are Mr. Schmidt's assistants."
"Hello Mr. Zhao Tianyang."
Paul Schmidt reached out, held Zhao Tianyang's hands, and said enthusiastically.
"The V2 missile blueprints you sent us are remarkable. You are a great rocket scientist. I hope we can talk about missile development in private."
"hehe."
Zhao Tianyang awkwardly broke free from Paul Schmidt's hands: "We'll talk about this later."
Zhao Tianyang looked at Ribbent beside him: "Have you brought everything?"
"of course."
Ribbente nodded and said, "In order to successfully transport this batch of machines here, I also used my connections in the Soviet Union to ship the goods from Inner Mongolia."
"Soviet Union?"
Zhao Tianyang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it had not been long since the "No Poland Incident".
During this period, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany was indeed quite good.
In a large warehouse in Baotou City, Zhao Tianyang was very happy looking at the various machines in front of him.
"With these machine guns and the guidance of our engineers."
"Within half a year, you will be able to independently produce various lathes and 20 to 100 mm cannons."
Ribbent reminded with a hint of pride: "Of course it's just the ability. You still have to research lathes and cannons on your own."
"I know!"
Zhao Tianyang smiled nonchalantly.
For him, as long as he has the machines, he can do it himself.
"By the way, since you've sent rocket engineers here, does that mean you're interested in cooperating with us?"
After checking the machine, Zhao Tianyang looked at Ribbent and smiled, "Did you bring the stepping stone?"
"88 guns?"
Ribbent took out a document from his pocket and said, "I can't bring the sample, but I brought the full set of information."
"It's OK if you have information."
Zhao Tianyang took the information, flipped through it, and put it away after making sure there was no problem.
"Minister Zhao, I actually have a question!"
Ribbent looked at Zhao Tianyang curiously: "How can you be sure that we will keep our promise?"
"What if we take back the information about the 107 rocket launcher and the V2 missile and they refuse to acknowledge it? Wouldn't you be helpless?"
"hehe."
Zhao Tianyang smiled calmly: "You, Germany, are indeed stronger than we are now."
"If you guys really want to cheat, there's really nothing I can do."
"But I'm just betting that you can't let go of your pride, and that you'll be curious about other things in my mind."
"The most important point is that the V2 missile actually has many shortcomings that have not been resolved. It cannot help you defeat Britain quickly."
"this......"
Ribbent was speechless. He didn't expect the reason to be so simple.
"Minister Zhao is right."
At this time, Paul Schmidt said: "Although there is detailed information."
"But there is still a long way to go before the V2 missile can be realized."
"Especially in the manufacture of rocket engines, we haven't made much progress so far."
Hearing this, Ribbent glanced at Zhao Tianyang and said, "Minister Zhao, I think this is your confidence!"
"Hey, hey, no where!"
Zhao Tianyang smiled faintly and did not explain too much.
Is he going to say that he deliberately concealed some key data in the information provided?
..........
"Okay, let's eat first!"
After looking at the sky, Zhao Tianyang asked people to prepare lunch.
After dinner, Zhao Tianyang began to arrange people to clean up the venue.
"What is Minister Zhao doing?"
Ribbent on the side asked curiously.
"I'm clearing the area. An airship will come pick us up later."
Zhao Tianyang explained casually.
"airship?"
Paul Schmidt's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect Minister Zhao to also study airships?"
"A little bit."
Zhao Tianyang made a gesture that Koreans hate.
"Haha, Minister Zhao, you're joking. You've started using airships to transport goods, which means you must have done some research on airships."
Fearing that Zhao Tianyang might be hiding something, Paul Schmidt explained, "Actually, I have a friend who also studies airships."
"But you also know that after the last war, airships have been proven to be unsuitable for use on the battlefield. What do you think, Minister Zhao?"
"That's right!"
Zhao Tianyang affirmed: "The airship is heavy, like a giant, slow-moving turtle."
"Once discovered by the enemy, it will be powerless to fight back. But if the airship is used to transport goods, it is still much cheaper than an airplane!"
"Is that so?"
Paul Schmidt nodded thoughtfully.
Soon, after waiting for almost an hour, a small Taihang Type 1 airship slowly appeared in front of everyone.
"Open the rear hatch."
After the airship stopped, Zhao Tianyang shouted loudly.
A "hissing" sound of steam leakage was heard, and the large hatch at the rear of the airship opened with the help of a hydraulic device.
"Move everything up there!"
Zhao Tianyang instructed the workers around him.
After that, he looked at Paul Schmidt and the others and said, "Everyone, do you want to go up and take a look?"
"Is this...convenient?"
Paul Schmidt was a little tempted.
"Convenient, why not!"
Zhao Tianyang waved his hand generously: "Come on, I'll take you to have a look."
"Then we'd better obey orders than be respectful!"
Ribbent said something, turned around and called Paul Schmidt's assistant over, and the eight people lined up and boarded the airship.
"minister."
The captain of the airship is a young man.
Zhao Tianyang looked at the young man in confusion: "Who are you?"
"I am Lu Ming, a first-term graduate of the airship school. I just became the captain of No. 3 last week."
"I see."
Zhao Tianyang suddenly realized.
The way they named their airships is one, two, and three. Number three represents that this is the third airship produced by the airship factory.
"These are all foreign friends. Please show them around the cab."
Zhao Tianyang pointed at Ribbent and the others and explained.
"Yes."
Lu Ming didn't hesitate, saluted and started the tour with everyone.
After a while, Paul Schmidt returned to Zhao Tianyang a little disappointed.
"Why, Mr. Schmidt seems disappointed!"
"Isn't this airship good?"
Zhao Tianyang looked at Paul Schmidt with amusement.
"No."
Paul Schmidt shook his head repeatedly: "Your airship is normal, it is a standard small airship."
Nonsense, if there was any high-tech, Zhao Tianyang would not let them see it!
"Minister, the machines are all installed."
At this time, a worker came over and said.
"Got it, let's get everyone out!"
After saying that, Zhao Tianyang looked to the side and saw Ribbent and others who had finished their tour.
"Everyone, we have a lot of people this time, please stay in the cargo hold for a while."
"It's okay. We are half soldiers now."
Ribbent waved his hand indifferently.
After they entered the cargo hold and sat down, Zhao Tianyang looked at Lu Ming and signaled that he could take off.
