However, due to the appearance of Mainz, the history of this time and space has been greatly deviated. It is difficult for the Eagle Sauce to reap the benefits as before!

However, since Chukir has already had a private meeting with Roosevelt, the probability of the two countries colluding together will also increase!

“Vanelk is right. The two countries are colluding together because of interests. Our rise has damaged their interests, so they have to unite. This is inevitable!”

Hearing Mainz say this, Ribbentrop was a little anxious:”Führer, then don’t we do anything?”

Mainz glanced at him and smiled,”Of course not, didn’t the Eagle Sauce want to buy our weapons before? We can use this matter to delay them and prevent them from forming an alliance in a short time!”

The last time President Roosevelt visited Hans, the two sides signed a huge arms sales contract with a total amount of 4 billion US dollars.

The amount of this arms sales contract is huge and of great significance to both countries.

For Hans, selling this arms can help them obtain a lot of funds, but it will also put their military technology at risk of leakage!

For the Eagle Sauce, if they can really buy so many advanced weapons from Hans, then their equipment level will be instantly improved.

And they can also use these purchased weapons for reverse imitation, which is what they are best at!

And once they succeed in imitating, then they will be able to produce these weapons themselves in the future, and the weapons of the US military can be quickly updated, thus improving their weapons and equipment. Greatly narrow the gap with Hans!

Therefore, both countries attach great importance to this arms deal. Both sides sent professional representatives and conducted a series of negotiations before finally finalizing this arms deal.

The two parties agreed that the Eagle Sauce would first pay a deposit of one-third, and then Hans would use this money to expand production, and the weapons produced would be handed over to the Eagle Sauce for transportation back.

After one-third of the weapons were shipped out, the Eagle Sauce would settle the remaining two-thirds of the purchase fee, and Hans would make up the subsequent two-thirds of the equipment!

The main point of disagreement in the negotiations between the two countries was the cost!

Hans initially asked the Eagle Sauce to advance all the purchase costs before Hans could deliver the goods. The

Eagle Sauce rejected this proposal as soon as it heard it, because they felt that this would be very disadvantageous to them. But what if Hans is a black-hearted person and swallows up their troops without giving them weapons, wouldn’t they be in tears?

Therefore, the Eagle Sauce side proposed that Hans deliver the goods first, and then let the Eagle Sauce’s army inspect and accept them before paying Hans.

This proposal of the Eagle Sauce was also rejected by Hans, and the reason was similar to the Eagle Sauce’s previous reason.

Once these weapons are moved, if the Eagle Sauce people turn against them, then Hans will lose both the wife and the army. Not only will he lose the weapons, but he will also not get the money. Naturally, they will not agree to this.

Therefore, the two sides launched fierce negotiations on the delivery of goods and the payment of purchase costs!

The final result of the negotiations was that both sides took a step back. Hans did not require the Eagle Sauce to pay the full amount at the beginning, and the Eagle Sauce did not require Hans to pay all the weapons. The money will be paid after the equipment is produced!

Hans hopes that the Eagle Sauce can at least take out half of the funds, so that Hans can purchase the means of production in advance, expand the production line, recruit qualified workers, and work overtime to produce these weapons and equipment for the Eagle Sauce. If there is no such funds, then Hans’s military factory can only give priority to the purchase of its own army, and there is not enough production capacity to meet the needs of the Eagle Sauce!

If this continues, this arms deal may take a long time, so the Eagle Sauce is not happy.

They agreed to pay the deposit in advance, but they felt that the deposit of half was too much, so they were only willing to pay one-tenth.

They felt that in the world’s commercial activities, the deposit is generally only so much, and more would not conform to business logic, so they were only willing to pay so much.

Although one-tenth is more than 400 million US dollars, this number is not small, but Mainz is certainly not happy. After all, compared with 4 billion, 400 million is nothing!

Therefore, Hans gave in, but insisted that the Eagle Sauce pay at least one-third of the deposit, otherwise they would not accept the order!

Hans’s attitude was very firm, and the reasons he gave were irrefutable.

They believed that arms trade was completely different from general commercial trade, and the arms market was much smaller than the commercial market, so the production capacity of major arms factories could not be compared with that of private factories.

The original customers of these weapons manufacturers of Hans were only Hans’ own army, so their production lines were relatively fixed and their production capacity was relatively stable.

It would be almost impossible for them to suddenly meet such a large order from the Eagle Sauce without expanding the production line and recruiting and training workers, unless the Eagle Sauce was willing to wait patiently until the German army no longer needed these weapons and the production lines of these weapons were idle, and they might be able to produce them for the Eagle Sauce!

Moreover, the production of weapons and equipment requires the purchase of a large amount of raw materials in advance, which is also a huge expense!

Hans’s reasons were very clear. The Eagle Sauce thought about it and felt that this was also true, and Hans’s attitude was so firm that it seemed that as long as they disagreed, this negotiation would fail.

So the Eagle Sauce finally compromised and agreed to pay one-third of the deposit!

Although it failed to defraud all of the four billion US dollars, it was satisfied to defraud more than one billion US dollars!

Therefore, after the Eagle Sauce paid the deposit, Hans purchased various production materials as promised, expanded the production line, recruited a large number of workers and trained them to meet the needs of the Eagle Sauce!

Originally, the transaction went smoothly, and the weapons production on Hans’ side was proceeding in an orderly manner. The people on the Eagle Sauce side did not find any problems.

However, as long as this batch of weapons is not shipped to the Eagle Sauce’s homeland, their more than one billion US dollars will be wasted!
