Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 968: Being threatened is not pleasant

Guderian thought the Führer was crazy. From what he said, did he want to transfer all the empire's technology to his mountain city?

"Prince, you mean to transfer some of my empire's technology to Shancheng."

Adolf took a sip of his tea and coffee, set it on the edge of the table, and nodded. "Yes, I did consider this, and I can tell you clearly that it was a certainty, not a consideration."

Seeing Guderian's puzzled expression, Adolf hummed and asked, "Why, don't you understand?"

Guderian nodded. "Yes, I do not quite understand why the Führer thinks so."

Adolf smiled and said, "The truth is simple. The more you learn, the less proficient you become. I don't know if you've observed Shancheng's current development closely, but they're following the path of Northern Soviet Union, or rather, learning from Northern Soviet methods. You should know that if a country focuses solely on acquiring technology in one area, it will quickly develop its own production path. Shancheng happens to be adept at imitating and learning."

"What the Führer means is that by giving them production technology, we're not really helping them. Instead, we're trapping them in a vicious cycle of technological exploration, preventing them from truly figuring out which side's technology is superior."

"If I only have one painting, then viewers will naturally say that this one is unparalleled. But if I have two paintings, viewers may not necessarily say that one is the best. They will have choices, and with choices comes hesitation, and hesitation will lead to disagreements, and disagreements will inevitably lead to detours."

Adolf pondered for a moment before saying, "Giving them technology is also aid, because they need it. Can you see that the people of Shancheng have released their long-suppressed ambitions because of this war? The first to bear the brunt of it are the Northern Soviets, because the Northern Soviets have caused them the most damage. How could they really allow that damage to remain on their bodies? Giving them weapons and equipment is also to nourish their ambitions. Only then, under the right conditions, will they send troops, and their sending of troops means helping us."

"The leader is wise. With more equipment, they will definitely attack other places if they can stop the Japanese army. This can also indirectly help us. At least they will take action after we launch military operations against the North Soviet Union."

"Yes. We don't lack technology. What we lack are more allies, even if these allies exist in secret. So, providing technology is both help and not help. I hope you understand this."

"Understood. I'll go back and hold a meeting immediately to come up with the appropriate technology."

It was four days later that Zhou Weiguo met Guderian again. This time, Guderian brought not only a piece of technical information, but also another praise for Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo and Chaoxiang Xiuling each received one Iron Cross Medal in recognition of their contributions to the Berlin side this time.

Looking through the technical data brought this time, it includes bomber production technology, fighter production technology, and tank production technology.

"Indeed, you are our best friends. Please tell the leader that our city will always remember your support. I also believe that our friendship will last forever. No matter what choices we make in the future, you will always be our friends."

"Yes, I believe we will always be best friends." Guderian smiled, put down his red wine glass, and asked, "Zhou, how do you think we can stop the rapid development of Northern Soviet Union?"

"The impact of attacks and chaos is not very significant. I think you have already considered this issue."

Guderian did not deny that, indeed, in a recent meeting, some people proposed to hinder their development speed by blowing up their bridges and roads. This was the most direct way, but the only bad thing about this was that the other party could suppress it quickly and might even find out who did it.

They also considered shifting the blame to Tokyo, but based on analysis, they believed that this was not possible. The Japanese army was now engaged in a battle of wits and courage with the British, and no matter how they tried to shift the blame, it was impossible for them to do so.

"Yes, we have considered it, and even considered asking Tokyo to take responsibility for it."

"But it's not appropriate, is it?"

Guderian nodded. "Well, it's not appropriate, so I'd like to hear your opinion."

Zhou Weiguo silently took out a cigarette and lit it. After a while, he smiled and said, "You should know the origin of Manchukuo in our mountain city."

Guderian was stunned for a moment, then understood something and said, "You mean to cause chaos within them, and this chaos is their royal family, right?"

"General. I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Ruth said from the side.

Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at him, then smiled and said, "Why not?"

Chaoxiang Xiuling chuckled and said, "Ruth, do you think that their royal family no longer exists?"

Ruth nodded. "Well, didn't they kill their royal family back then?"

"What does it matter? Whether he exists or not is irrelevant. If I say he exists, he exists. If I say Zhang San is a member of the royal family, he is a member of the royal family. If I say he is not, he is not. We don't want a real royal family. We just need a royal family to package ourselves and attract those old ministers who hope to return to the past."

It’s high, really high.

Guderian never thought that Zhou Weiguo would come up with such an idea.

"You're right. If we unite our forces and attack separately, they will be in chaos soon."

Made.

Zhou Weiguo cursed in his heart. He just hoped that Berlin would do it this way, but he didn't say that he would do it himself.

But judging from the situation, if our side does not agree, then the technical agreements on the table probably will not be given to Shancheng.

This is a soft threat. If the mountain city wants these things, then we have to do it. If the mountain city doesn’t need it, then it doesn’t matter.

Vicious, so vicious, they are not good people?

Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath, looked through the document on the table again, and then looked up. "General Guderian, can we replace some of the things in here with something else?"
