let's (2)
At MA, we are eagerly trying out the advanced technologies and various blueprints handed down from Japan.
This put an end to the naval issue. The rest is up to Leather.
What was handed over from Japan was not only ships and torpedoes. She was something of equal importance to him, perhaps even more important than him.
The only difference was that it required a small amount of money and persuasion rather than a shobu with the Japanese government.

"It is an honor to invite you, Mr. President..."
The name of the short-built Japanese man who trembles like a reed is Shintaro Uda.
He kept blinking as if everything surrounding him was in vain.
This is all a dream, right? If you close your eyes once and open them, they will be back to normal. Okay.
So why am I still in Germany?
There's even Hitler in front of you?
Could it be that he resembles Hitler? Yes, probably. Because his mustache is so common.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Shintaro Uda. Adolf Hitler. Welcome to the Third Reich."
The interpreter who worked with Hitler translated German into Japanese and relayed it to Shintaro.
Only then did Shintaro realize that this was not a dream but reality.
Adolf Hitler.
Author and current German Fuhrer.
The person I only knew about in newspapers and news films is now in front of me.
"I was worried what would happen if you didn't come to Germany, but I'm glad. "Wasn't it difficult to get to Germany?"
"Wow, it was a very comfortable trip..."
"This person keeps shaking. Anyone who sees me will think that I am holding on to your life and threatening you. "I'm in peace."
"Oh, sorry."
There was one reason why Hitler invited Uda to Germany.
It was because of Uda's invention.
"It's my invention?"
"exactly. "Isn't 'Yagi-Uda Antenna' your work?"
Yagi-Uda antenna. An antenna produced in 1926 by Japanese engineer Shintaro Uda and his advisor Hidetsugu Yagi.
The name Yagi-Uda was created after the last names of Shintaro Uda and Hidetsugu Yagi.
While the existing antenna radiates radio waves by flowing current through the antenna element, the Yagi-Uda antenna radiates radio waves in the direction by arranging a waveguide with a short wire in front of the half-wave dipole antenna and a reflector with a long wire at the back. It was a groundbreaking product that could not only shoot but also receive transmitted radio waves with high sensitivity.
However, contrary to the name 'Yagi', both design and production were handled by Shintaro Uda alone.
However, Yagi used his authority to steal Uda's achievements and later made a lot of money by starting a company called Yagi Antenna.
Of course, Uda got nothing back.
Although he had become accustomed to people's indifference and Yagi's abuse of power, he was unable to maintain his composure when meeting Fuhrer Hitler.
Moreover, he is interested in his own invention - which people think is Yagi's invention.
This is not a dream but a true story? really?
"I know roughly what hardships you have gone through so far. The guy called the advisor took all of the teacher's credit and continued to manipulate him from then on. The paper is also under their joint name, and his patent is his own...
However, you did not give up on engineering and continued your research. "It would be difficult to find someone with as much patience as you, even in Germany."
"It is an honour······."
No one in Japan recognized his achievements, but the leader of a distant, foreign country with no relation to Japan recognized his efforts.
Uda, overcome with sorrow from the past, shed tears without realizing it.
"Calm down, sir."
Hitler, embarrassed by Uda's tears, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Uda.
"The product you created is truly innovative. However, I was dumbfounded to hear that your country, instead of recognizing your hard work, completely ignored it."
The Yagi-Uda antenna was an essential item in the development of radar, but Uda's home country, Japan, did not pay any attention to Uda's work and even banned the research and development of radio equipment in Japan in 1936.
This was for the absurd reason that citizens became ideologically unsound non-citizens by listening to foreign broadcasts on shortwave radio.
The Japanese military did not use radar because they thought it was a way to inform the enemy of their location, and were busy ignoring Uda, who emphasized the importance of radio wave detection.
On the other hand, countries such as Britain, the United States, and Germany, which recognized the importance of radar, put all their efforts into developing radar technology and put it to great use in actual combat.
It was not until the end of 1941 that Japan began to research radar technology, but it was too late.
"So, sir, I have a suggestion for you."
"Please tell me."
"Can you come to Germany and continue radar research? We will give you everything you want, including research and living expenses. "Your work is an essential technology for the development of Germany, and indeed of all mankind."
Not only does it promise to support his long-cherished research, but he also promises top-class treatment, and there is no one who can refuse this.
Uda's answer was already decided.
"All right. "Please just leave it to me."
***
Shintaro Uda was assigned a large mansion and a state-of-the-art laboratory located on the outskirts of Berlin.
Along with assistants, an interpreter, a driver and a personal chef to help him with his research.
Indeed, it is said that Uda has been concentrating on research since the day he unpacked the mansion. That's good, that's good.
It's good for Uda because he can continue the research he wants in an affluent environment, and it's good for us because we can obtain the latest radar technology.
This is mutual aid, this is what I mean.
The fact that Britain had great fun in air warfare on the British mainland by using radar is already a very famous story among the military.
At this time, Germany, which was hit hard by radar, also accelerated radar research and put it to good use.
However, the problem was that the enemy was so deceptive that it seemed to be of little use.
However, Japan did not use this good thing for the reason that its location could be revealed to the enemy, and began researching it only in August 1941, when it obtained information on air warfare over the British mainland.
By the time anything useful was found, the war situation had already deteriorated to the point where it could not be reversed, so it was a waste of time.
You idiots.
Well, thanks to this, we were able to obtain a genius who only comes along once every 100 years, so maybe we should be grateful.
They've given Uda a lot of talented people who are said to be from Germany, so he'll be fine on his own.
Negotiations with Henry Ford of the United States were also concluded successfully.
To begin with, Henry Ford was friendly to the Nazis from the start, so it was just a negotiation and there was nothing to call it a negotiation.
This is a fact that people are surprisingly unaware of, but contrary to the Roosevelt administration's hostile stance toward Nazi Germany, American companies maintained very close relationships with Germany until Germany declared war on the United States.
American companies actively cooperated with Germany's rearmament and war effort, to the extent that Albert Speer, Hitler's closest confidant and Minister of Armaments, said in his memoirs that Germany would never have invaded Poland without the synthetic oil provided to Germany by American companies.
There are so many things the German military needs that it is difficult to list them all, but the most important thing is 'vehicles'.
Contrary to public perception, Germany suffered from a vehicle shortage from the beginning to the end of the war, as it was widely known as a mechanized force.
Germany, Europe's strongest industrial country, had a shortage of cars, so they used horse-drawn carriages? I can not believe it! I'm sure many friends will say this, but it's true.
Due to an absolute lack of vehicles, the German army had to rely on military horses for most of its transportation, and each division even had a unit that specialized in treating military horses.
War horses were so important to the German army that there is an anecdote that when asked why Germany did not use poison gas at the post-war Nuremberg trials, Goering said, 'It was because there were not enough gas masks to cover the horses.'
Naturally, supply using warhorses takes longer than supply using vehicles.
The longer the supply is delayed, the more soldiers are bleeding on the front lines.
Therefore, we must secure as many vehicles as possible before the war.
Not only Ford but also General Motors (GM) has expressed its intention to actively cooperate with us. Up to this point, it's the same as the history I know.
However, according to history, even Jewish companies that would have been at odds with Germany proposed cooperation first.
This was so unexpected that I was quite embarrassed.
It's strange to think of a Jew joining hands with the Nazis!
What's even more shocking is that there is a 'Hitler learning craze' among some Jews in the United States.
There were also reports that many of the buyers of Mein Kampf displayed in American bookstores were Jewish.
Are you saying that my previous speech made a big impression in America?
It's unimaginable that Jews are reading Mein Kampf.
"Uh... Anyway, isn't that a good thing? "It means that there are more people in the United States who follow the ideology of National Socialism."
"Of course, it is not a bad thing, but I am still concerned that if His Majesty the President makes a mistake, he will be considered an idol of the Jews."
These were the words of Goebbels, who still could not abandon anti-Semitism.
Looking at the expression on his face, it seemed like he was genuinely worried about me being treated like a messiah among the Jews. Himmler and Heydrich seem to have similar thoughts.
"There is no need to worry. The most important thing to me is not how I look in the eyes of others, but whether I can help Germany even a little more. Anyway, isn't the result good? "There is no reason to refuse since they will voluntarily cooperate with us, and rearmament is accelerating."
Although they were having some fun through trade with China and Japan, the money they earned from trade was not enough to cover the costs of rearmament.
However, thanks to companies in the United States, especially Jewish companies, reaching out to us first, the burden was greatly reduced.
This is why people should live good lives. They say it all comes back to you one day.
Balkan countries such as Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria were also good customers for us in Germany.
In particular, Romania had no hesitation in importing German weapons even though it was allied with France and Poland, which were hostile to Germany. Since it borders Hungary on the front, the Soviet Union on the back, and Bulgaria on the bottom, it was concerned about strengthening its national defense capabilities. I had no choice but to write.
France and Poland also did not touch it much because they wanted to avoid trouble with their allies over arms imports.
At best, they might ask implicitly if you would like to buy some Korean products instead of German ones.
Hungary and Bulgaria were more serious about importing German weapons than Romania, and this was understandable because both countries had a history of losing land to Romania due to their defeat in World War I.
A strong army is essential to one day regain land lost through war.
To build a strong army, you need good weapons, and there happens to be a country not far away that is selling weapons.
Their orders were so large that there was a disruption in the production of weapons to be supplied to the National Defense Forces.
Even production of the first tank, whose mass production had been halted, was resumed at the request of Hungary and Bulgaria.
"I really don't understand. What is so good about a light tank with only two machine guns that you would buy so many of them? "Isn't that so?"
"It seems like there is no news from Spain yet. Anyway, isn't it a good thing that we in Germany can make money?"
Due to issues with tank development and production, I have had a lot more time to meet with Guderian recently.
Knowing Guderian's skills, I promoted him whenever I had the chance, and thanks to that, I now have a captain's epaulet on my shoulder.
Guderian is so grateful to me for hiring him that he even gave up his vacation and is working hard day and night to repay my expectations.
"Switzerland, Sweden, and Iran have also contacted us to buy our tanks, and they also want Panzer 2. What do you think, General? "I don't think it will be a big problem if I sell it."
"My thoughts are the same as your Excellency the President. "It might be the 4th tank, which has just been prototyped, but if it's the 1st and 2nd tank, there's no need to worry."
The original plan was to mass produce only 500 tanks, but 2,000 were produced due to numerous sales requests.
The money earned from selling No. 1 and No. 2 will be converted into other weapons, including No. 4, and appear in the world.
If this is not a creative economy, what else is it?
