“Cooperation is pleasant. We accept the goodwill of the Empire and are willing to be consistent with the Empire on the issue of the Eagle Sauce and advance and retreat together!”
Mendes had no way to refuse such conditions, especially the condition that Ribbentrop finally put forward, which really made him unable to say no!
If Colombia sends 100,000 troops to attack Cuba according to the requirements put forward by Ribbentrop before, then the Third Reich should compensate them with weapons and equipment of 100,000 people!
This is not a small amount of money. The weapons and equipment of 100,000 people are 100,000 rifles and matching bullets, which is a huge wealth!
Moreover, 100,000 people are already military units at the army level. Such a large force can’t have only guns and no cannons, machine guns, mortars, howitzers and other supporting weapons, right?
The price of these supporting weapons is much more expensive than the rifles in the hands of the infantry. According to the current equipment level of the Colombian army, the value of the military equipment of 100,000 people is at least more than 50 million US dollars, which is a huge amount of money! According to the standards of the US military, this amount of money will be higher, at least as high as 80 million or even more than 100 million US dollars!
Although the military equipment of the Eagle Sauce is not as good as The Third Reich was so advanced, but their weapons and equipment were very complete, and their performance was world-class, at least much better than the second-rate equipment purchased by the Colombian army from other parts of the world.
Apart from other things, the 155mm howitzers that the US military was equipped with in large quantities were not available in the Colombian army. This kind of heavy artillery can only be produced by countries with very strong industrial strength, and this weapon is a heavy artillery, which is expensive and has no market. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to buy it in the international arms market, even if you have money!
Even if you buy it, the price is ridiculously expensive. A heavy artillery regiment composed of eighteen 155mm heavy artillery may be more expensive than the artillery regiments of several 105-meter howitzer groups.
Moreover, the shells of artillery of this caliber are also sky-high, with a shell worth hundreds or even hundreds of dollars. Such an expensive price is obviously not something they can afford.
Therefore, the Colombians had almost never imagined this kind of weapon before, but at this time, under the promise of the Third Reich, it became possible for them to obtain this weapon!
“Very good, the issue of North America is currently a matter of great concern to the Empire. I think the Führer is very happy to cooperate with your country on this issue!”
After finalizing the issue of sending troops to Cuba, Ribbentrop also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he completed a task and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
However, he soon cheered up again, because his task was not just a Cuban. Compared with the Cuban issue, the Empire was more concerned about the issue of South America.
“No, no, it is our honor to cooperate with the great No. 1. We are also very happy!”
Mendes immediately flattered him. Anyway, flattering is helpful. If you can make the other party happy and get some assistance from him, then it will obviously be even better!
Since the other party said so, Ribbentrop would naturally not let go of this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ribbentrop continued:”Regarding the matter in South America……”
He started talking, then stopped talking.
Mendes immediately became very excited when he saw Ribbentrop mentioning South America. If the troops sent to Cuba were invited by the Third Reich and Colombia itself was not very enthusiastic, then they became very serious about South America, which involved their core interests!
However, just when Mendes pricked up his ears and prepared to listen to Ribbentrop’s next words, Ribbentrop suddenly stopped talking.
This turn of events made Mendes feel like a cat’s claw scratching his heart. He was very concerned about what Ribbentrop was going to say next and the true attitude of the Third Reich, because for Colombia, the support of the Third Reich was the key to their confrontation with Samba!
If they could get the support of the Third Reich, Colombia could ignore Samba, start a new business, and widely send out invitations to heroes, calling on South American countries to hold the South American Conference in their country, and be the leader themselves!
With the support of the Third Reich, they naturally have nothing to worry about with Samba. After all, Samba cannot find a stronger backer than the Third Reich, so they naturally don’t need to worry about anything.
However, if there is no clear support from the Third Reich, then they must weigh their own strength. Judging from their current strength, if they continue to compete with Samba, they will definitely be the first to fall.
After all, whether it is population, land area, or industrial and economic scale, Samba is several times theirs, and the opponent’s strength is much stronger than them. Although they currently have military advantages, this advantage is very weak, especially since there is an Amazon forest between the two countries. Even if the Colombian army is strong, it is impossible to directly cross this primeval forest to threaten the core area of Samba!
Therefore, although their army is strong, it cannot give the enemy a fatal blow. With the national strength of Samba, as long as they shift the focus of development to the military field, the military strength of Samba can catch up with Colombia in a very short time. At that time, Samba will crush them in all aspects!
Thinking of this, President Mendes became even more anxious.
They must get the support of the Third Reich!
The reason why they agreed to declare war on Eagle Sauce and sent troops to attack Eagle Sauce’s colony Cuba was because they were showing goodwill to the Third Reich in exchange for its support. But if the Third Reich does not support them, then their efforts will become meaningless!
“Something has happened in South America recently, and the Empire may not have heard of it. Why don’t you let me introduce it to you? I wonder if you think so, Mr. Ribbentrop?”
Because the Samba Kingdom sent out invitations to the South American countries relatively recently, and Ribbentrop came in a hurry, President Mendes didn’t know whether the other party had heard of this matter before coming!
If the other party hadn’t heard of this matter, then he must introduce it so that the Third Reich can think about it comprehensively and make choices and arrangements based on the current situation!
Mendes speculated in his heart that as long as the Third Reich knew about the ambitions of the Samba Kingdom, then they would be very likely to intervene in this matter.
So Mendes’ tone seemed extremely urgent, and he couldn’t wait to express his position.
