MacArthur, who was forcibly dragged back from the port by Sir James, was already a little afraid of meeting Zhuo Fei, and he actually couldn't figure out why he was afraid to meet or talk to this young man, especially when he saw Zhuo Fei's extremely flat expression, MacArthur couldn't sit still. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 "Zhuo, take what you just told me, and now repeat it. Having succeeded in pulling MacArthur back from the harbor, Sir James brought up the subject he had just made.

"That's right, that's what I just meant, I can lobby Chongqing to send troops to participate in the European war, as for whether it can succeed, this still needs Britain and the United States to make a statement, and the Chinese will not help you fight in vain." Under Sir James's repeated urging, Zhuo Fei finally responded, but it seemed that because MacArthur was also present, Zhuo Fei did not say in detail.

Sir James didn't care about this, he didn't pay any attention to the contradictions that might exist or arise between Zhuo Fei and MacArthur, and just urged Zhuo Fei to say more in detail. "Well, I'll say it all, in fact, since the Japanese army sent a special envoy to Inchon to find our umbrella truce, I have secretly contacted the Chongqing side. The Chinese actually did not believe that the Japanese would really stop the war, and if the time was ripe, the Chinese would definitely launch an attack on the Japanese mainland. ”

Zhuo Fei's words successfully attracted the attention of MacArthur and Sir James, if the Chinese army can really launch an attack on the Japanese mainland, perhaps the United States and Australia forces that are pinned down in the Philippine battlefield will be able to completely free up their hands. Xu saw what MacArthur and Sir James were thinking, and Zhuo Fei secretly said in his heart, "It's just a pity that Chongqing doesn't seem to have made a decision, and if there is no external force, maybe Chongqing will eventually give up making this decision." ”

Zhuo Fei's erratic tone made Sir James of MacArthur feel bored, especially MacArthur showed impatience on the spot, he thought that Sir James was just wasting time by dragging himself back. "Zhuo, I don't want to listen to this, I know that you have a good relationship with Chongqing. Tell me the truth, are you sure that you will be able to successfully lobby Chongqing? You know, it's very important to me. Sir James finally couldn't help but make his words clear, but Zhuo Fei didn't answer immediately.

After a slight mutter, Zhuo Fei spoke, "Sir, I'm afraid I can't make a promise to you right now, because there are still a lot of variables in between. At this point, Zhuo Fei whispered a few words to the guards guarding the door, and after a while, the guards who returned quickly brought a folder and handed it to Zhuo Fei. Gentlemen, take a look, this is the latest battle report on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, if it were not for the fact that it happened to fall several heavy snowfalls in the Soviet Union, it is likely that Stalin would have been captured alive by the German army. ”

After only a few glances at the battle report handed by Zhuo Fei, MacArthur and Sir James changed their faces, they did not expect the German attack to be so sharp. "Although our umbrella teamed up with the Chinese army city to solve the problems in the Far East, and also blocked the Japanese army in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, the German offensive was always fast and sharp. So far, many of the cities in Soviet control have been captured by the Germans, and the current industrial manufacturing capacity of the Soviets has fallen to less than half the size of the pre-war period. ”

"Without sufficient industrial production capacity, there is no way to guarantee the weapons and ammunition needed by millions of Soviet troops, and without sufficient material support, even if Stalin raises more troops, he is afraid that he will not be the opponent of the German army." Zhuo Fei's words won the approval of MacArthur and Sir James, especially Sir James, who was in charge of military production in Australia for a period of time, deeply understood this. Although MacArthur agreed with Zhuo Fei's words just now, he came back to his senses in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't think of anything to do with what happened in the Soviet Union and lobbying China to enter the war.

"In the current situation of the Soviet Union, if it does not receive assistance in time, it may not last much." Zhuo Fei took out a document again and handed it to the two. "This is an operational plan drawn up by our protective umbrella, and Chongqing has also read this operational plan and initially agrees with our views. However, Chongqing put forward a request, thanks to the outstanding battlefield performance of China's new army, Chongqing is very optimistic about new weapons and equipment, so they proposed that troops going to fight in Europe must be equipped with new weapons and equipment. ”

The Umbrella has trained hundreds of thousands of new army units equipped with new weapons and equipment for China, which can no longer be regarded as new news, and MacArthur and Sir James know a lot about the combat performance of China's new army units. "Zhuo, can you tell me for sure now how many troops the Chinese side has agreed to send to the European battlefield?" Sir James's question made MacArthur also secretly prick up his ears, waiting to receive an answer from Zhuo Fei.

Zhuo Fei replied with a chuckle, "According to my communication with Chongqing, the maximum number of troops that can be drawn from the Chinese army is close to 500,000, and more than two-thirds of these 500,000 soldiers are veterans. "500,000 troops, Sir James and MacArthur have been shocked into a cold sweat by the answer given by Zhuo Fei, this is the strength of more than 40 divisions, Sir James and MacArthur don't know how much it costs to equip more than 40 divisions of new weapons, but it will definitely not be a small amount.

"There is an old Chinese saying that the reluctant child can't trap the wolf, which means that there is no gain without paying. As I said earlier, the Chinese will not help you to fight in Europe in vain, and the Chinese will not send a single soldier to Europe without enough benefits. Zhuo Fei had already seen the expressions and reactions of Sir James and MacArthur at the moment, and there was more ridicule in his words.

"Zhuo, the current situation is that it is not that we do not want to give benefits to the Chinese, but you must know that in the Australian weapons factories, the production capacity of infantry weapons is very low, and 500,000 troops have to replace weapons, I think we may not be able to make guarantees." Sir James said to Zhuo Fei with a sad face, he knows the most about the production capacity of Australia's military industry, among the three people here.

Zhuo Fei, who was secretly smiling, didn't want to drag it out this time, and continued to take out a document and hand it to Sir James, "Sir, there is naturally no way to guarantee the timely replacement of 500,000 troops by relying only on those arsenals in Australia, but if we add our umbrella's weapons production base in Australia, we may be able to complete this guarantee." - "What Zhuo Fei handed over to Sir James was a catalogue of the Umbrella's inventory at the Australian Ordnance Base, since a month ago, the Umbrella had been hoarding weapons and ammunition at the Ordnance Base in Western Australia, and now, in just one month, the Umbrella had stockpiled enough infantry weapons to equip four divisions.

"Mr. Sir, this is just a month's output of our umbrella Western Australian military base, give me half a year, our umbrella can be responsible for the implementation of a comprehensive re-equipping of 300,000 troops. Besides, with our current capacity, if we want to send all 500,000 troops to the European battlefield, we can't do it in half a year. By this time when the three of them were talking, Zhuo Fei had already expressed all his meaning, and MacArthur, who had rarely spoken, finally couldn't help but secretly scold Zhuo Fei in his heart for being a damn arms dealer.

Unlike MacArthur, Sir James, who is more like a politician, was not surprised by what Zhuo Fei revealed, and if the umbrella could not benefit from it, he would not offer to help lobby Chongqing, but Sir James did not expect that Zhuo Fei would bluntly propose to share the share of the arms. "Zhuo, I can't answer this matter now, I have no way to answer you now, I have to ask the cabinet first. But personally, I agree with this idea, after all, the umbrella can't be in vain. ”

A frustrated Sir James once again took over the telecommunications room of the Headquarters, leaving only Zhuo Fei and MacArthur in the slightly empty Headquarters, and the latter finally spoke. "Zhuo, I want to know, if you can say that the Chongqing side will send troops to participate in the war, where will the main direction of entering the European battlefield be placed first? Or rather, have you ever considered the United States? ”

MacArthur's words made Zhuo Fei unconsciously raise his eyebrows, he had been waiting for this thing to ask this sentence, "General, I know that the current situation in your country is very bad, but what I want to say is that as long as your government has this intention and responds positively, the umbrella company can organize 300,000 troops to land on the American continent at any time to help in the war." But my condition is that your government must bear all military expenses and battlefield pensions, after all, our umbrella is a mercenary organization. ”

MacArthur nodded thoughtfully at Zhuo Fei's positive answer, and did not dwell on the issue any longer, but quietly waited for Sir James' return with his coffee. Seeing that MacArthur didn't want to continue to discuss with himself, Zhuo Fei secretly cursed, and had to kill time by smoking cigarettes in the same way. Sir James came back quickly, but he had not yet received a telegram from the British Cabinet, but on the whole, Sir James felt that Zhuo Fei's offer was not excessive.

It was not until dinner time that Sir James finally waited for a reply telegram from the mainland, and the British cabinet gave a very positive answer, as long as the umbrella could persuade China to send troops, all the weapons and equipment needed by the Chinese army rushing to Europe to help the war, the umbrella had the same supply qualifications as the Australian arsenal. Getting this written commitment from the British cabinet meant a big deal for the umbrella, but Zhuo Fei was still entangled in MacArthur's ambiguity.

Zhuo Fei originally wanted to put the US government in a trap, but he didn't expect MacArthur to be slow to react, but it was the British who were in danger. Seeing off Sir James and MacArthur, Zhuo Fei was somewhat disappointed, but ten minutes later, Zhuo Yan came back and said that MacArthur did not board the ship and leave, Zhuo Fei reacted, and MacArthur was also moved.
