Chapter 64 Army's Favor
Xiao Maoqi knew that he had to find a suitable reason to reject Qin Tian. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to everyone, and it would also arouse other people's doubts. Once it reached the ears of William II, the consequences were even more serious.
William II would never want his chief of staff to be a person who abolishes public affairs for personal reasons. I don't even want him to do things that harm the interests of the German Empire in order to please Crown Prince William. However, Xiao Maoqi knew that Qin Tian's influence could not be further expanded. The navy has completely turned to Qin Tian. If the army also fell to Qin Tian, the position of Crown Prince William might really be in jeopardy.
"Your Highness, this is indeed a very good product. However, the army simply has no money to purchase it. The current situation is getting more and more tense, and Germany's position makes us have to beware of threats from both sides. Therefore, the army must strengthen its military equipment. And the military expenditure is only a little. Almost every year, the military expenditure is not enough. Therefore, we have no money to purchase these motorcycles at all." Xiao Maoqi said regretfully .
Although, this reason is a bit lame. However, it has to be admitted that this is a reasonable reason. Lack of money has become a problem for the entire German military. The annual military expenditure is only a little, and if you want to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, you can only find ways from other places. The life of the navy is a little easier now. The loans from the royal family and Qin Tian have enabled them to have enough financial resources to build the warships they need. However, the Army is different.
Little Maoqi glanced at Qin Tian's expression and laughed in his heart. He wished that Qin Tian would be deflated, this would be very helpful in combating Qin Tian's influence. Although, Xiao Maoqi also has to admit that with Qin Tian's ability, if he has the opportunity to inherit the German throne, he may do better than Crown Prince William. This is a great thing for the people of Germany and even the whole of Germany . Just, for him personally, I am afraid it is not so wonderful. After all, from the very beginning, he was clearly on the side of Crown Prince William. Even if you want to change the court now, it's too late. Therefore, he can only go one way to the dark.
"His Royal Highness, if possible, I hope that His Highness can donate a batch of motorcycles to the army. After all, His Highness donated a battleship to the Navy, and that is a big guy worth 50 million marks! Your Highness can't favor one over another. "Little Maoqi continued to run.
Qin Tian donated a battleship to the navy, although it was a secret to ordinary people. However, for these military leaders, this is not a secret. The reason why Xiao Maoqi said this was undoubtedly to arouse the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the army generals. After all, we have the German army at the same time. Why do the emperor and princes support the navy with all their strength, but ignore their army? This is too unfair.
"Damn it, what did this old guy do? Why does he always get along with me? I didn't offend him?" Qin Tian also felt the hostility of little Maoqi, so he was a little confused, so he didn't know why little Maoqi would Always do that to him. Everything Qin Tian did was to enhance Germany's military strength and ensure that Germany would have a better chance of winning in future wars.
Qin Tian knew that these senior descendants of the army must not be dissatisfied with him. In that case, it will be a major threat to him in the future. Regardless of whether he has a chance to replace Crown Prince William, these generals had better not be offended.
"Your Excellency, Chief of the General Staff, of course I will not favor one over another. I am also full of respect for the Army of the German Empire. The German Empire's unification and its current international status are inseparable from the strength of the Army. Since the Army is now If the funds are difficult, then I am personally willing to donate 10,000 two-wheeled military motorcycles and 10,000 three-wheeled military motorcycles to the army. According to the value, the 20,000 motorcycles already exceed 50 million marks. However , this donation must be kept secret. Otherwise, if it is leaked, it will have a great adverse effect on my overseas business." Qin Tian said with a smile.
Donating motorcycles worth 50 million marks to the army is nothing to the wealthy Qin Tian. Qin Tian himself is willing to donate these things to the army. However, what made him dissatisfied was Xiao Moqi's attitude. Qin Tian will cooperate with the army a lot in the future, and he doesn't want to be stopped by Xiao Maoqi in the future.
In terms of the size of the German Army and the large-scale military expansion after the outbreak of the war, 20,000 motorcycles are simply not enough, and more will be purchased. In addition, Qin Tian also wants to produce military trucks, armored vehicles and tanks in the future. He can't let him donate all these for free! In that case, wouldn't he be dead?
Little Maoqi was also stunned by Qin Tian's words. It was worth 50 million marks, and he donated it without blinking an eye. This made Little Maoqi twitch his mouth: "This guy is too rich, right?" , 50 million marks were donated without hesitation. Sure enough, as others have said, in the business field, he is definitely a genius."
"Papa papa!"
The generals of the army all clapped their hands and applauded at this moment. They were very satisfied with Qin Tian's generosity. Even those who were dissatisfied with Qin Tian's strong support for the navy are now convinced.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for supporting the army!" von Falkenhain thanked.
"As the prince of the German Empire, this is what I should do. What I want to tell you is that both the army and the navy are important military forces of the empire. In my eyes, there is no priority. I support The navy is because the navy faces a powerful enemy. And the army, we are already number one in the world!" Qin Tian continued.
Qin Tian's words made the generals of the army very satisfied. The German Army has long had their series of victories showing how powerful their combat effectiveness is. No. 1 in the world is definitely well-deserved. However, Qin Tian said this in front of them, which still made them feel very honorable. Everyone looked at Qin Tian with kindness in their eyes. Many people couldn't help but compare Qin Tian with Crown Prince William. In the final result, it was obvious that Qin Tian was much better in all aspects, and the two sides were not even comparable at all.
