"Your country can rest assured in terms of confidentiality." Tukhachevsky assured confidently. After the establishment of the Soviet Union, many habits and customs were completely different from those of the Tsarist Russia. Just a way of addressing each other can be divided into superiors versus subordinates, subordinates versus superiors, people with seniority differences between peers, people with no seniority differences, within the department, between different departments, etc., etc. Human eyes can't tell the different rules at all, but the staff inside the system can clearly distinguish them. So if it were a foreign spy who knew nothing about this, maybe two or three greetings might reveal the truth.

Yannick nodded and stated the last condition. "Finally, I want 1 million tons of grain. This is the total price. General Tukhachevsky, you should also understand that what you get in this transaction is simply disproportionate to what you pay. Even if I add another 2 million tons, 3 million tons, you have to agree. But for the sake of our friendship, I only charge the friendly price this time."

In the end, both parties ended the negotiation with satisfaction. When Yannick was sending Tukhachevsky to the door, he thought of another question. "Your Excellency General Tukhachevsky. I wonder if you have ever heard of the saying that the plank road is built secretly but Chen Cang is secretly built? Our transactions and cooperation are all carried out secretly. On the surface, we in Germany still have to fight against the S. The flag of G. We may sometimes say some ugly words, but it will not be out of our original intention. I hope Mr. Stalin will not mind."

Tukhachevsky got what he wanted most, felt greatly relieved, and said with a hearty smile. "Your Excellency Yannik is overly worried. Our great Soviet revolutionary leader Comrade Stalin is a man of great wisdom and wisdom. How could he mind such a trivial matter."

Yannick's face was tense, and he couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart. "I wonder if you would be convinced if you were killed by such a wise and wise man?"

In the elevator, Tukhachevsky suddenly snorted heavily. "Are all the people in the Intelligence Department a bunch of losers? Which idiot came to the conclusion that Crown Prince Yannick is a good-for-nothing playboy? Do you think he looks like it?!"

Natasha lowered her head in fear and apologized. "Sorry General, it was our negligence. Maybe this person is good at disguise and deceived all our people."

After sending everyone else away, Yannick lay down on the extremely comfortable bed. Although the next trip to Daming will also require a secret training venue, if Daming arranges all the personnel, it will be troublesome if Japanese spies notice it. After all, Japan is also one of the Allied inspection teams. These little devils will either open their mouths like a lion, or they will be brought directly to the Allied inspection team. The sanctions imposed on Germany will definitely increase.

And this transaction is indeed a mutually beneficial matter. At this time, the Soviet Union's steel output was still not high, but Germany's Krupp Company now had a large surplus of production capacity. Germany could import large quantities of various mines from the Soviet Union and re-export the steel products produced to the Soviet Union. Considering that the current Soviet Union cannot have much foreign exchange reserves, Germany can even barter.

Well, he can ask for food from the Soviets. You must know that before World War II and during the Cold War, the Soviet Union's main food production area came from Ukraine, and cash crops mainly came from the Caucasus and Central Asia. The Soviet Union itself had problems with its own geographical environment. , agriculture is relatively dependent on the fertile soil and water in Europe. The agricultural output value in Asia is relatively low, and it depends largely on the weather. The gap in food production between good years and disaster years is even half and half.

If he remembers correctly, starting from this year, the Soviet government has taken some special measures against the Ukrainian kulaks and is preparing to kill them.

These ranged from increased taxes and grain quotas to confiscation of all property and ultimately banishment. By the mid-1930s, approximately 100,000 families were deported to Siberia and Kazakhstan. Large-scale collectivization began in 1929, under coercion by party activists and the threat of economic sanctions. From October 1929 to March 1930, the percentage of collectivized farms increased from 9% to 65%, and by the end of 1935 it exceeded 90%. Mass resistance to collectivization took the form of riots, slaughtering of livestock, and destruction of machinery, and was answered by increasing already high quotas and confiscating rations. The result was the Great Famine of 1932 to 1933, with a death toll of 5 million to 7 million - an unprecedented man-made disaster in peacetime. Immigrants from Russia were resettled into deserted rural areas. The traditional Ukrainian countryside has been basically destroyed.

It is not difficult to understand that the German army that attacked the Soviet Union in the original time and space received the support of a large number of Soviet people. Wherever the German troops went, they were welcomed and openly supported by the Ukrainian people. Many non-Russian ethnic groups surrendered to the German troops. They believed that the arrival of the German troops "liberated" them.

One German soldier, recalling their invasion of Ukraine, wrote: "In every village, people welcomed us with bouquets of flowers. The scene was even more enthusiastic than when we entered Vienna."

Flowers are just a way for people to welcome German soldiers. Every time the German troops arrived in a village, the local villagers would warmly entertain them with food and water, play music for them, and imitate the Naz military salute to salute them: "The Ukrainian people sincerely thank our liberators, the heroic German soldiers! "

It's a pity that Mustache's cruel racial policy ruined the ally he spoke of in vain.

Of course, Yanik will not make the same mistake in this time and space. Ukraine is known as the breadbasket of Europe. As long as the Ukrainians show a little kindness, then the entire Europe will not have to worry about food. Not only did he not have to worry about food, Yannick could also imagine that the Ukrainians who hated the bearded rule could easily form an army.

Thinking about it makes me a little excited.

It's a little regretful that I couldn't travel a few years earlier and curb the Soviets' momentum of independent research and development of tanks. Just last May, the Soviet Union completed a brand-new design plan and trial-produced a prototype. After undergoing a brief road test near Leningrad, the plan was named "1S-1 Small Guard Tank" ", which was later officially designated as "T-18".

Next year, in 1929, the total production of T-18 will begin to increase. However, as the Soviet Red Army General Staff's requirements for the combat capabilities of armored forces continue to increase, the T-18's performance in all aspects has revealed obvious deficiencies. Later they will improve the T-20 light tank, then the T-24, T-26, T-28, and finally the famous T-34 tank! !

Once the T34 is mass-produced, the advantage of the German armored forces will be weakened. One T34 shell may be able to take away five precious tank drivers, and the losses of the German armored forces will increase exponentially. It is very possible to repeat the tragedy of the original time and space and retreat all the way to Berlin. Maybe William II won't live until that time, and he should be the one hiding in the basement with the PPK and pulling the trigger on his head.
