Chapter 380 Recapture the lost civilization

Then eight comprehensive supply ships of the China Ocean Fleet unloaded the cargo on the ship and loaded a large number of items sent by the British. These items were tightly wrapped, some were wooden boxes, and some were wrapped in thick paper, with different sizes and shapes.

This busyness took two days and finally completed it all.

After finishing his trip to Britain, Chen Ce ordered the fleet to continue to set sail, and the next stop was Amrotterdam, the Netherlands.

The German side also sent Ribbentrop, who had enough weight, to welcome the Chinese fleet. This time, the Chinese fleet had twenty supply ships docked at the port of Amrotterdam.

The welcome ceremony was grand, and many Dutch people also came to watch giant ships from ancient Eastern countries. Many of them also came for the name of the world's number one battleship. The result did not disappoint everyone, and it was worth the money.

On that day, Chen Ce had a secret meeting with Ribbintrov.

Ribbentrop first made a little polite, and then said straight to the point: "Genius General, for the long-term friendship between the two countries, I hope your government will not continue to sell extremely dangerous weapons and equipment to the Allies. Of course, in return, in the future, oh no, from now on, we can accept all your arms trade in Europe."

"Accept it all?" Chen Ce paused clearly, expressed his surprise slightly, and then quickly said, "I heard it right, Your Excellency Minister?"

"No, you heard it right!" Ribbentrop said seriously, "I sincerely hope that you can think carefully!"

"Immunely, Minister, I think so far, the war between your country and Europe does not seem to have ended yet!"

Ribbintrov was not a stupid person. On the contrary, he was very smart, so he quickly understood what Chen Ce meant: "Are you doubting our country's ability to pay?"

Seeing that Chen Ce did not speak, but just smiled and said nothing, Ribbin Troph didn't know how to answer for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.

"Well! Dear General, can you introduce us to the goods for this transaction?" In view of this embarrassing situation, the proud Ribintrov had to let go of his identity and said, "I think you must have given me a surprise expression again!"

However, the fact once again hit him for no reason. Chen Ce shook his head and said sincerely: "I'm very sorry! Everyone! It's true that your country and the Allies are in a state of war, and it is inevitable to be hostile to each other. For the sake of our own interests, it's understandable to do so. But after all, trade exchanges do not distinguish between national boundaries! And our government has always been honest and has already decided, so we cannot violate it! On this point, please forgive our difficulties!"

Ribbentrop could no longer bear it and immediately said bluntly: "God of General, there is no factor in war, and there is no rule to follow. The risk of trade in war areas is at any time!"

Chen Ce said: "If someone restricts the free trade rights of our merchants, then in response, our government will also impose the principle of reciprocity on the expatriates in some countries."

"You have completely misunderstood. This is just my personal opinion, that's all! Of course, it doesn't represent anything in itself!" After a smooth move, Ribbentrop continued, "The friendship between China and Germany lasts forever, and the interests of the Chinese in Europe are a matter of concern to us. The head of state emphasized from beginning to end that the interests of the Chinese in Europe must be guaranteed. But all this is only in the occupied areas, and we cannot guarantee other places. Therefore, Germany hopes that China will disconnect military trade from the Allied forces, and as long as China's remaining production capacity is China's remaining production capacity, the Axis powers can accept it in full. This is the latest decision made by our head of state in order to maintain the long-term friendship between the two countries."

Chen Ce still said: "As I said just now, war will only damage the country's economy."

Before he could finish his words, Ribbentrop said first: "The most direct negative impact of war is economic losses, which is inevitable, but this is not the problem, nor does it mean that we do not have the ability to pay!"

Chen Ce's eyes slowly swept over his face, and then he fell into deep thought. He didn't care about his expression, nor did he need to care. All he had to do now was to constantly measure the pros and cons in his heart. Suddenly, his heart moved, and the word "Europe" came into view. Yes, the Germans only wanted the share of Europe. Even if they were handed over to Germany, at least China would not lose much. As for Britain's needs, they could start from the Middle East. After all, the Allies were not only in Europe, and the Allies could obtain everything there, and the journey would be closer. And in this way, it would not affect the decisions of the empire in the future. Thinking of this, he thought for a moment and said, "So, what about your guarantee?"

"Our current occupation zone is guaranteed."

Chen Ce waved his hand and said quickly: "No, no, no, Minister, this is just a general statement, and our country cannot obtain any substantial benefits."

Seeing Ribbentrop's puzzled look, he explained again, "You probably know why we sell weapons to the Allies, because the Allies gave us an unrefused benefit. Britain gave us a large area of ​​land in the Middle East, and then my Majesty agreed to the British's request, because we cannot refuse this benefit."

"You mean..." Ribbintrov said hesitantly, with a bad premonition in his heart.

"No, you don't have to think about it. We don't want any of you land. Instead, we need your help to collect cultural relics scattered in Europe in our country since ancient times. Of course, precious cultural relics from other countries are also our goal, and we can exchange weapons for this condition. Our Prime Minister of the Empire has come to discuss with the head of state before!"

Ribbintrov did not answer Chen Ce's question, but nodded, obviously he knew about it. He originally thought that China wanted the lion to speak loudly, and he thought about his feelings. After thinking for a moment, Ribbintrov spoke, "Since you have talked about this, can you see what weapons your country has brought this time?"

"At this time, the twenty supply ships in the military port are the list, but the twenty ships of weapons and equipment are not traded. Our Majesty learned that Germany had prepared a large number of gifts to give to us. In order to thank the German friends for their kindness, these twenty ships of weapons and equipment were given to Germany. According to the customs of our Chinese, this is called reciprocity. Our Chinese will not treat any sincere friend unfairly." Chen Ce smiled slightly and spoke.

Ribbintrov hurriedly said, "The twenty supply ships are all weapons and equipment? They are all for us." He couldn't wait to confirm whether he had heard it wrong. The news was so good that he didn't know what to say.

"Yes, those twenty ships of weapons and equipment cover a large number from rifles to aircraft, and they can fully arm an army. There are also the thank-you gifts prepared by His Majesty to thank Germany for agreeing to take away the Jews. Today, we still have ten ships of weapons to arrive in Europe, which is also part of the thank-you gifts. Thank Germany for making such a huge concession for China." Chen Ce once again said a very important news for Ribbintrov, and it is also good news.

"Dear General, please forgive me for your impoliteness. On behalf of our head of state, I would like to express my gratitude to the Chinese side for its generous actions. I believe that the friendly relations between China and Germany will be maintained forever." Ribintrov stood up and bent down to pay tribute to Chen Ce with an excited and excited expression.

Seeing Ribbentrop's actions, a thought flashed through Chen Ce's mind. If Germany discovers in the future that China continues to sell weapons to the Allied forces, what kind of expression would Bententrop have? And this weapon would have sent the Germans, which would be too cheap!

"I hope that as His Excellency the Minister said, the friendship between China and Germany will be passed down forever. As for cultural relics, I hope that the two countries can cooperate happily in the future." Chen Ce said.

"Please rest assured that we will put the greatest energy into cooperating with this. Ensure that every lost cultural relics in China is found and returned to China intact."

"We will feel at ease in this way and wish us a happy cooperation."

After the two had finished their talks, the integrated supply ship docked in Amrotterdam also began to unload the goods. Under the custody of German soldiers, the war criminals and migrant workers began to carry the scattered military supplies unloaded on the dock onto the truck. It took a whole day to unload the weapons from the twenty supply ships alone.

Then boxes of Chinese cultural relics that had been prepared were loaded on supply ships, with a large number, and it took another two days to take them.

These cultural relics were collected by German soldiers from France, and many of them were precious cultural relics from the Louvre. In addition to the vast majority of them snatched from China by Western powers, there are also many precious cultural relics from the Louvre. Now, the entire Louvre has basically been emptied.

When Hitler learned that China had sent thirty ships of weapons and equipment, and had already arrived at twenty ships, including many heavy weapons, he waved his hand and also gave the statue of Venus, the God of Love he wanted to leave behind to China as a thank you. As for the other two treasures, they had already been loaded.
