Chapter 862 Shocking China and the World (Medium)

"This is teaching people to fish!" The chairman couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Yes, but the price paid by the other side is also very expensive, according to our statistics, especially after listening to some of the economic courses I have taught, as well as my understanding of some of the current situation in the international community, according to our calculations, the other side has consumed fuel, materials, weapons, etc., in this year alone, the overall statistics of the figures, you should take a look." Premier Zhou smiled bitterly and said.

While speaking, Premier Zhou handed a piece of paper to the chairman, and the chairman glanced at Premier Zhou, and then looked down at the paper, and when he swept the number, the chairman couldn't help but say with a shocked face: "2 billion pounds?!" ”

"Nothing more, no less!" Premier Zhou said a number.

What is the concept of £2 billion? After the signing of the Monetary Stability Agreement between the United Kingdom and the United States and France in 1936, 1 pound was equal to 4 dollars in this era, you know, it is still the gold standard! £2 billion means the equivalent of $8 billion! What is the concept of $8 billion? You must know that in 1938, the United States began to develop the largest Iowa-class battleship with a standard displacement of 45,000 tons, and the cost was less than 100 million US dollars, and 8 billion US dollars means a full 80 super senseless-class battleships!

And now it was just the beginning of June 1937, and the GDP of the whole of China in 1936 was only 7.7 billion US dollars! Although the chairman does not know these figures, the chairman also knows about the international prices, so he naturally knows what the concept of 2 billion pounds is! The other side spent a whole 2 billion pounds on them in a year! This number made the chairman a little dizzy, and this one was terrifying.

"This ......"

"This can no longer be described as a favor, the other party can really use the whole country to support us." Premier Zhou couldn't help but sigh and said, "Now we have basically completed the construction of the preliminary industrial system, the output of steel and other aspects has kept up, including fertilizer, oil refining and other aspects can be built, and the most important thing is that our bullets, shells, etc. can already complete self-production." However, the production of gunpowder cannot keep up, and it still needs to be transported, but in general, the materials that need to be transported are developing towards high-end, but this is also one thing I want to consult with you, Chairman, we ...... Do you still want to accept help from the other party? ”

It's a good thing that someone helps, but both the chairman and the prime minister are frightened by this figure, 2 billion pounds! $8 billion! This figure is simply scary, and the chairman and the prime minister are really embarrassed.

"Wait for Mr. Liu to come back and find out what Mr. Liu means, if it affects the economy of their country, we can't accept it, and we can't drag down our friends because of ourselves." The chairman thought for a moment, then spoke decisively.

"That's what I mean, too." Premier Zhou nodded.

"And the most important point is that if our country wins the war, we need a strong ally internationally." The chairman said earnestly, and the chairman was already thinking about the future.

"But&...... What I can't figure out is why Mr. Liu and the country should be closed to the outside world, because the Qing government was backward in this way, and the country was completely unable to keep up with the development of the world. Premier Zhou said with some confusion, but during this time, he and the chairman were not embarrassed to talk to Liu Fei about this.

"What do you think of their economic technology?" The chairman thought very clearly, and asked very dryly.

"It's very powerful, and the technology is also very advanced, at least these things are not much more advanced than Europe and the United States." Although the chairman and the prime minister are not experts in engineering, they have a first-class vision and naturally know what kind of situation the European plane is still staying at, and what the other side's plane looks like. The difference is not the same at all.

"Then I think it's very simple, if they don't close off the country, these things will undoubtedly guide the progress of Western science and technology, I think they are cutting off this possibility, that's why this kind of thing will happen, but I have a hunch, I'm afraid it won't be long before they lift the blockade." The chairman shook his head slightly, and spoke.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it, these are still too far away from us, but the plan we discussed last time, I think we can pass it, ask for the opinions of other comrades, if there is no opinion, let's pass the resolution." The Chair added.

Premier Zhou's body shook for a moment, thought about it, and then nodded decisively and said, "Then let's have a meeting tomorrow?" ”

"Okay." The chairman nodded.

Liu Fei left Yan'an because Liu Fei was about to start making preparations, of course Liu Fei didn't know that the prime minister had calculated such a number, in fact, if it was calculated, Liu Fei spent far more than 2 billion pounds, and Liu Fei really transported it by plane for more than a year! And for more than a year, it has been Thor's transport aircraft! The amount of fuel consumed and so on is definitely a very scary number.

However, there is a gap between this cost in Liu Fei and other countries, not to mention, although the Chinese Empire now has its own economic system, most of the things in the whole country are Liu Fei's own, and there are also many factory products produced by Liu Fei's robots, so the value of these things is not as much as the outside world thinks, not to mention, the money in this world is even less useful to Liu Fei.

In this way, Liu Fei can hold on to the end of World War II without shaking the fundamentals, not to mention, Liu Fei does not need to hold on to the end of World War II, at most another year to two years, as long as there is a port, Liu Fei can be transported by sea, and at that time, many industrial systems have been basically completed.

The time soon came for the Yan'an government to hold a press conference, in fact, too many reporters had already entered Yan'an, but at this time, because they still had to hide it, many troops near Yan'an had changed into old gray-blue clothes, and their guns had also been replaced, of course, most of them were still those troops who had been confronting the Nanjing government to maintain discipline throughout Yan'an.

In fact, in the Yan'an incident, the armed new army has never entered, and even the citizens of Yan'an do not know that the current Eighth Route Army is no longer the former Eighth Route Army. So after these reporters came to Yan'an, although they saw a new Yan'an that was much stronger than Yan'an at the same time in history, they didn't have much concept before, so they were just a little surprised by the economy here in Yan'an.

The others don't have a big concept at all, but the factories around Yan'an City can't hide from people, so the National Government took the opportunity to send them, as well as the country's reporters were surprised, because almost all of them feel no less than Nanjing, although the area is much smaller, but the factories, streets, etc. give people a very prosperous feeling. Especially for foreign journalists, this means that the Yan'an government and Mao Jiang are governing here well! No, it's stunning! You know, a few months ago, Mao and the others had just fled here!

The foreign correspondents who come here have done their homework!

But none of this matters, they are interested in how Yan'an managed to wipe out 2,000 Japanese elite troops in the rear of Japan! I'm afraid that even Berlin, Washington, London, and Paris dare not say that their country's army has this strength, right?!

When these reporters arrived at the press conference, they were still a little surprised by the layout of the scene, at least they saw a lot of things in this scene that they had never seen.

When the press conference officially began, something that surprised these reporters even more happened, when the leader of Yan'an, Mao, stepped onto the rostrum, all the reporters pressed the cameras in their hands, looked at the reporters below, and after they had taken enough, the chairman said in Mandarin with a Hunan accent: "Welcome to China, all journalists, today's press conference, we want to clarify two things, first of all, the first thing is that a Japanese factory in Harbin was attacked, But it's not like the Japanese government advertises, it's just an ordinary water supply plant! ”

All the reporters were shocked, and immediately knew that the meat show was coming, and everyone was crazy about what was written on their notebooks, and after a pause, the chairman said: "After our investigation, the Japanese 731st Epidemic Prevention and Water Supply Force, in the name of the epidemic prevention force, carried out inhumane and tragic massacres and human live experiments in the entire Harbin!" ”

As the chairman's words fell, the whole venue was in an uproar in an instant, and among the dozens of Chinese reporters who rushed below, at least a dozen reporters stood up directly and excitedly, ignoring the discipline of the venue and asked loudly: "Mr. Mao!" Is this true? Do you have the actual evidence?! ”

And some reporters who are not good at Chinese, or who have not yet understood, when a male voice next to them directly translated the chairman's words into English, caused a sensation that was no small few! Although it is said that the civilization of Europe and the United States, especially the civilization of the Middle Ages, is very barbaric, but at the end of the 19th century, and after entering the 20th century, Europe and the United States paid great attention to human rights, etc., and Germany, which was the first to use poison gas during World War I, was spurned by the entire European and American world!

And now what the Japanese Unit 731 has done can be said to be appalling in this era! It's not like after this thing was poked out in later generations, decades have passed, and Japan doesn't even admit the Nanjing Massacre, let alone this thing, for such a brazen country, these things are simply tickling, but in this era, at least before the Chinese Empire lifted the ban, European and American society was still the mainstream, so such a thing was poked out, so the shock caused can be imagined.
