Chapter 293: Negotiation and Attack

After Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, US-Japan relations entered a new stage. Pinshu.com Japan relieved its worries about the north and actively prepared to move south. The U.S. attitude has become more assertive, imposing severe sanctions on Japan. Because Japan insisted on establishing a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, the United States resolutely opposed it, and the US-Japan talks entered a deadlock.

Hu Zhiyong received a secret invitation from Roosevelt and arrived in Los Angeles on a special plane. Harry Lloyd Hopkins was already waiting, and when he saw Hu Zhiyong enter the door, he said to Bailey: "He's still so young! ”

"Mr. Special Envoy, I'd love to hear your intentions!" Hu Zhiyong walked into his living room and asked questions without waiting to sit down.

"For your sake, please stand on the same side with us." Hopkins also didn't like to beat around the bush, and directly said his intentions.

"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong laughed, politely poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Hopkins: "For our common interests, we must stand on one front!" ”

"Yes, yes." Hopkins happily took the tea, took a sip and put it down, and talked to him about the plan to jointly sanction the island's crude oil and supplies.

"Aren't you afraid that the islanders will go to war with you?" After listening to this, Hu Zhiyong asked with a slight smile.

"The island nation really dares to attack us, and we have more reasons to participate in the war!" Hopkins didn't care, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

Hu Zhiyong nodded: "I have stopped importing grain, and the remaining millions of tons of wheat and rice will all be shipped back in the near future." Cement is not what you need most in the war, and I hope to continue to cooperate under the condition that the waterway is safe! Hu Zhiyong knew that Hopkins would discuss these matters with him, so it was better to say it in advance.

"You're a smart man!" Hopkins praised Hu Zhiyong and said sincerely: "Mr. President, in order to express his apologies, hopes to delay the contract until after the war." Of course, to compensate you for your losses, change the three-year contract to six years post-war. ”

"Thank you, Mr. President, for me!" Hu Zhiyong was happy, the contract was doubled, and after the war, countries were in need of a lot of supplies, and it was difficult for him not to get rich if he could get so much of the material!

What Hopkins said next came as a surprise to Hu Zhiyong. He demanded that Hu Zhiyong build airfields on all continents in the United States and open all passenger plane transportation lines to the air!

"Mr. Ambassador, there seems to be a conspiracy here!" Hu Zhiyong smiled, waiting for Hopkins to tell the truth.

"Once the war begins, use your air transport lines to rally troops and deliver supplies!" Hopkins smiled: "Use your economic strength to facilitate our military operations." ”

"What about my benefits?" Hu Zhiyong asked deliberately.

"Cunning merchant!" Hopkins was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Isn't airline a benefit?" Are you still not satisfied? ”

Hu Zhiyong sighed: "I only need three routes to New York, Los Angeles and Virginia, and I won't open a space company in other states." ”

"Oh?" Virginia was stunned, didn't Hu Zhiyong want to do business in the transportation industry?

"Really, Mr. Hopkins, I'm telling the truth, I'll never do this!" Hu Zhiyong sighed: "It is difficult to make profits in space transportation, I would rather use a car to transport supplies in the United States!" ”

Hopkins smiled heartily, "I'll talk about that later." Now talk about your new aircraft, I hope to bring out your best products, we are going to equip ten divisions! ”

"Ahh Hu Zhiyong shouted in shock, one pilot division has more than 80 planes, and ten divisions have 800 planes. As is customary for Americans, eggs are never put in one basket!

"Surprised, huh?" Hopkins laughed triumphantly: "We do this, there is a reason for this!" Your latest aircraft is excellent, and can be used in air combat to attack, bomb, and defeat the opponent with less. ”

"How long will it take to deliver to you?" After Hopkins finished speaking, Hu Zhiyong returned to normal. The price of the new plane is incredibly expensive, and I believe Bailey has already talked to him.

"Within a year!" Hopkins held out a finger and asked for it to be used on an aircraft carrier.

"Repayment with grain, cement, steel, glass and non-ferrous metals." Hu Zhiyong didn't want to ask for more dollars, and he had to dispose of some of the dollars in his hand as soon as possible.

"Deal!" Hopkins stood up: "I still have urgent business, don't you politely save this meal!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong Dayue: "I believe you will come to me soon!" ”

The root cause of the Great War is the ignorance, paranoia and arrogance of the people, however, the war is like a crazy gamble, and there are people who are desperate for it. The League of Nations, which was built to guarantee peace, failed to prevent World War II, mainly because it lacked the power of a punishment statute for offenders.

After more contact with the United States, Hu Zhiyong changed the thinking of hating the Yankees in his previous life! Between nations, there is no justice and injustice, only the strong and the weak.

Hu Zhiyong did not leave Los Angeles, he sent telegrams to various places, demanding full production and striving to win the plane mission. As the Germans began to feel the strain of supplies in the rear, Hitler's ambassador Taudemann rushed to Hong Kong and talked to Yinlong about clothing, food, liquor, and tents.

Yinlong had already received Hu Zhiyong's instructions, and of course he agreed. In this way, the Germans reduced their transport personnel by several hundred thousand and soon attacked deep into the belly of the Soviet Union.

Stalin saw Tianhua's plane, but the people were neutral, and they were transporting food, clothing, and so on. He wanted to point at Hu Zhiyong's nose and scold, but he couldn't find a reason to vent.

In late August 1941, a distraught Hitler mobilized 32 infantry divisions, 4 tank divisions, 4 motorized divisions and 1 cavalry brigade on the northern flank, equipped with 6,000 artillery pieces, 4,500 mortars and more than 1,000 aircraft, to launch a fierce offensive on Leningrad, threatening to occupy Leningrad on September 1.

In the Barbarossa Plan, the capture of the city on the Neva River was seen as an "urgent task" - to wipe Leningrad off the face of the earth, to kill all its inhabitants, and to eliminate the cradle of the proletarian revolution.

On the 13th, most of the Soviet Vyazma group was annihilated, and the Bryansk Front also retreated after being encircled by the battle, and on the 23rd, most of the Soviet Bryansk group was annihilated. In the battle of Vyazma-Bryansk, the Germans captured 670,000 Soviet troops.

Moscow became the target of German air raids. The Moscow air defense forces fought stubbornly against the German air force in the air, and in October the Germans carried out 31 air raids on Moscow, with a total of 2,000 aircraft participating, of which 278 were shot down and only 72 broke into the skies over Moscow.

Hu Zhiyong was very depressed during this time, and the supplies that were originally waiting to support the Soviet Union were piled up in large quantities at the railway station and in the Far East, but he did not expect that Stalin seemed to have forgotten them.

In addition to being angry, Hu Zhiyong really wanted to sell the missiles to Germany, but he was afraid that the Soviet Union would be finished, and no one would pay back the dollars he lent. He smiled wryly, what kind of role he played in this war.

"Report, the Soviet ambassador asked to see the young master directly!"

"It's finally here!" Hu Zhiyong smiled, and he said to the confidential section chief in Los Angeles: "Call back, I will meet him in the Far East this afternoon!" ”

"Yes!"

How could Hu Zhiyong know that because of the rocket artillery he sold to Germany, Moscow and Leningrad had already suffered a devastating blow! A large number of people died, and troops were transferred from outside the city to build fortifications on the ruins!

The intensity of the fighting was unimaginable, and Stalin insisted on not retreating from the city. The soldiers shouted: "Defend the commander! Surround Stalin! "In the midst of the war, they went forward and stopped the German attack!

It was not that Stalin did not feel the crisis, but the intensity of the battlefield made him forget everything. Fortunately, Zhukov reminded him: "We must ask the Far East to support us!" Even if it's just food and medicine, it will give people confidence! ”

Stalin suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly sent a telegram to Podlov.

Hu Zhiyong arrived in the Far East after dark, and the two sides did not make a detour, but directly put forward the amount of materials needed. Hu Zhiyong was surprised: "For this little thing, do you need to call me back?" ”

"The commander wants you to stop aiding the Germans!" Podlov took the opportunity to name the most critical issue.

"This—" Hu Zhiyong deliberately hesitated.

"We're going to double our share and promise not to lose you financially!" Boderov knew that negotiations must be sincere, otherwise Hu Zhiyong would not agree.

"Double? Do you know how much food and other supplies the Germans have contracted with us? Hu Zhiyong took out the contract: "Look, this is an order of 1500 million US dollars!" ”

Bodlov sweated with palpitations, did he dare to call the shots for such a big order? Hu Zhiyong smiled understandingly: "You discuss it with Mr. Stalin and give me an accurate number!" ”

Bodelov left, and Hu Zhiyong smiled: "After the end of World War II, just give me all the war dividends you shared!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Hou Dashun, Chen Wanxin, and others, who did not say a word during the negotiation, laughed happily.

"Shh Hu Zhiyong raised his index finger and put it on his mouth. Everyone smiled heartily, knowing that Podlov had not gone far.

Stalin had already developed rocket artillery, which, although not as advanced as Hu Zhiyong, had the effect of firepower. As soon as Stalin heard that Germany had ordered $1.5 billion in food and other supplies, he gritted his teeth and said: "Promise him that we will ask for $3 billion in supplies, provided that we give up supporting Germany!" ”

The business was negotiated, and the foreign secretary left satisfied. Hu Zhiyong smiled proudly: "The 1.5 billion supplies have already been delivered, and I can only come to earn your 3 billion!" ”

"Young Master, how much has this war made us?" Hou Dashun smiled and asked.

"In the year of peace, it will take us thirty years to earn so much!" Hu Zhiyong said lightly.

"Ahh Everyone was stunned, the profit earned in three years was thirty times that of the peaceful year!
