“”Fuhrer, are you going to stand up the Eagles?”
Himmler was the first to react, looking at Mainz in surprise. Mainz smiled and said,”It’s not that we’re going to stand them up, but we can still make some money by using the time difference. You have to pay a deposit when you buy something, right? It’s impossible that we will equip them with all the equipment if they don’t pay a penny, right?”
Everyone nodded. With so much equipment, it would cost a lot of money just to purchase raw materials, add new production lines, and pay workers’ wages. If the customer does not provide a deposit, the factory will not even have the money to start the production line!
Moreover, collecting deposits is a normal practice in business activities. The purpose is to avoid customers from regretting placing an order but then regretting not selling, which would lead to huge losses on the factory side!
So it is reasonable for Hans to ask Yingjiang to provide a deposit, and Yingjiang cannot refuse. If they refuse, Hans can directly refuse their order!
Normally, the amount of the deposit and the first payment will not be less than one-third of the total price. After all, the factory needs a lot of start-up capital. Without enough money, production efficiency will be greatly affected. At that time, the cost will be even higher, and the selling price will also rise accordingly!
One third of $4.2 billion is $14. If the Eagle Sauce people are really willing to give this $14, then they will be fooled! With the money in hand, Hans can use various reasons and excuses to delay the seizure of the equipment until the relationship between the two countries deteriorates or even a war breaks out. At that time, these equipment can be requisitioned by the German army and added to the German arsenal!
In other words, the Eagle Sauce took a large sum of money for nothing, but ended up making a wedding dress for Hans, and did not get any equipment!
“But will the Eagle Sauce be fooled?”
The mustache asked doubtfully. Mainz’s plan seemed very obvious. Since the Eagle Sauce was planning to turn against Hans, could they not be on guard against Hans?
If they were on guard against Hans in their hearts, they would be unlikely to believe in Hans’ sincerity in cooperation, and they might not be willing to pay the money at that time!
“They might refuse ordinary cooperation, but this is a military order. These equipments are the most advanced weapons and equipment in today’s era. They are naturally very attractive to them, so I think they should take a risk!”
Ribbentrop saw through it very clearly. The Eagle Sauce people might really do this!
“We will know the result soon!”
……
After Roosevelt held an internal meeting and discussed with the Minister of Finance, the Minister of National Martial Arts and other senior executives, they finally resolved the huge internal disagreements and reached a consensus: buy!
Since Hans is willing to sell these weapons and equipment, then buy them.
Take advantage of the great opportunity that they still have with Hans and quickly buy all these equipment. Otherwise, once they miss this opportunity, when their relationship with Hans deteriorates, they will not be able to buy them even if they want to!
Therefore, after reaching an internal consensus, Roosevelt quickly came to Mainz to discuss this cooperation.
“Haha, Mr. President, you came at the right time. I just happened to find you about something too!”
Seeing Roosevelt’s impatient look, Mainz smiled and didn’t give him a chance to speak, and blocked what he was about to say!
Roosevelt was very anxious. He was a little worried that Hans would change his mind, so he wanted to finalize the matter quickly. Only after this matter was finalized, he could feel at ease!
But looking at Mainz’s meaning, the other party obviously saw through his thoughts, so he deliberately didn’t give him a chance to speak!
So, President Roosevelt could only put this matter aside for the time being and care about what Mainz wanted to say!
“”I wonder what the President wants to talk to me about?”
Roosevelt asked curiously. The biggest issue between the two countries should be the arms sales contract. Is there anything more important than this?
Yes!
“I heard that the President was touring the Eiffel Tower City. I wonder if he has ever been to the Palace of Versailles?”
When Mainz mentioned the Palace of Versailles, President Roosevelt raised his eyebrows and had a bad feeling in his heart.
The Palace of Versailles was originally a palace where the Gallic royal family lived, but during the Gallic Revolution, the palace was destroyed and abandoned. Although it was later restored, no king lived there again. The Elysee Palace replaced her position, so the Palace of Versailles was vacant and transformed into a historical museum.
Although the Palace of Versailles is no longer a royal palace, it still plays a very important role in history.
In 187, in the Hall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles, William I, the victor of the Franco-Prussian War, was crowned emperor and formally established a unified German Empire, which was later the Second Empire.
It was a great shame for an emperor of another country to be crowned in the famous palace of his own country by virtue of his military exploits in defeating his own country. It was a humiliation to the entire Gaul and tens of millions of people in Gaul!
Therefore, driven by great hatred, several generations of Gauls gritted their teeth and vowed to avenge the Gauls. This strong impulse of revenge made them fight with Hans to the last moment in World War I, and finally succeeded in revenge.
After winning World War I, the Gauls triumphantly brought Hans’ representatives to the Palace of Versailles and forced Hans’ representatives to sign the surrender!
Since the starting point of the Second Empire was in the Palace of Versailles, then her end should also be here.
The Gauls let Hans sign the surrender here with the intention of washing away their own shame. , announcing their victory of revenge to the world, and at the same time humiliating the Hans people to the fullest, returning the shame imposed on them by the Hans people tenfold and a hundredfold!
It can be said that the feud between Gaul and Hans has been deepening in Versailles, and has reached a point where it cannot be resolved!
The outbreak of this Gallic War was actually not unexpected by the world. The relationship between the two countries was so bad that it was not surprising that a war broke out. It would be strange if a war did not break out!
President Roosevelt read a lot of history books during his convalescence, and he was very clear about the contradictions between Hans and Gaul, so when he heard Mainz mention the Palace of Versailles, he felt something was wrong.
At this time, Gaul had already signed a surrender agreement, so Mainz could not have dragged the Gaul representatives to the Palace of Versailles to sign a surrender again.
Then, there was probably only one possibility for him to mention the Palace of Versailles!
