Chapter 51: A Generous Gift (Revision)
Look at Mike. Lang's well-organized plan, Pershing knew that this document would be prepared by a group of people, including military officers and merchants, and those considerations about the merchant fleet and pricing were probably from the American Chamber of Commerce, which shows that the other party has put a lot of effort into this matter.
The suggestion is that the US military can purchase some large auxiliary facilities and some heavy artillery in France, and these equipment can be purchased locally in France than it is purchased domestically and shipped to France. In particular, the search for a U.S. arms company in France to supply the U.S. military would optimize the cost-effectiveness ratio of U.S. troops.
In particular, the final conclusions and recommendations are not only well-argued, but also well-informed, and are not at all documents that can be easily refuted by any opponent.
This is natural, when Mike. When Lang was still tricking the nurses and ladies on the German side to use the hand-cranked radio transmitter for him, Tang Yunyang had already asked Charles. Kim contacted the head office in Boston and set out to do this. The calculations are carried out not only by accountants and military transport officers in France and the United States, but also by the maritime transport associations of the American Chamber of Commerce.
At the very least, if you just measure it in terms of money, the document is worth about $100,000. It is impossible for any businessman to spend such a large price on this except for the certainty that the United States will inevitably enter the war.
Closing the plan, Pershing, who smoked a few puffs of cigarette silently, did not say anything, but asked very suddenly.
"Mike. Mr. Lang, has your company received the news that the U.S. military is bound to enter the war? Otherwise, how could it have taken so much effort to produce this document? ”
Not to mention, Pershing's sudden question almost made Mike . Lang asked, who can be sure that the US military will inevitably enter the war, except for the guy from the future, it is difficult to make money with him.
Mike. After all, Lang is a money-greedy wolf who barks out his white teeth when he sees money, and his brain moves slightly, and he immediately has an answer.
"General, whether or not to enter the war has a bearing on the interests of the United States, and can't a sharp-eyed general like you come to the conclusion that the United States will inevitably enter the war?"
Mike. Lang's little trick finalized for Pershing, and he has been thinking about it in his heart, and occasionally has some dilemmas.
Driven by the interests of European commercial competition, the United States, which is developing rapidly, is very likely to enter the war after identifying the victorious side and win the main voice in Europe and even the world.
In view of the future economic interests of the United States, this time, after determining the victorious side, it will invest troops in the war. The only situation in which Pershing is uncertain is public opinion, and if the government had taken public opinion into account, it might not have been so quick to enter the war, and it was even possible that it would not have entered the war.
Now, when the vice president of the company, who controls the media, says something like this, he undoubtedly makes a choice for Pershing.
"A good plan, I believe that if the US military enters the war, this document can play a very key role! As for the recommendations, I think you need to put this document in its proper place and keep it in line with your actual needs at all times. In addition, these documents get in the hands of the appropriate department, or whoever. That's probably all I suggest! ”
After reading the plan, Pershing casually put the document on the table and pressed Mike. Lang asks for some advice, which seems quite pertinent, but it is clearly not the whole story.
Mike. Lang, how can this guy who is used to business not understand that there is still a matter of interests here, who will give all his thoughts for the benefit of others?
There may be, but the world is scarce.
Mike. Lang bared his teeth and smiled wolfly.
"General, we have certainly found the right person to master this plan, and he is the most suitable person we are looking forward to, both in his ability and in other conditions."
Saying, Mike. Lang reached out and pushed the papers on the table to Pershing again.
"What, you mean ......!"
As Pershing switched to honorifics, Mike. Lang knew that such a pile of "gold" was smashed down, and he had already thought of the effect in advance.
"Yes General, that person is you! Also, there's a little thing, I wonder if you can help? ”
"Help?!"
(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected].
Pershing knows there is no such thing as a free lunch, but what do they want him to do? If you think about it carefully, you are just a brigadier general, and apart from a little thing about the army, you can't think of anything else that can help them?
"This matter is related to Lieutenant Patton's business, and I think Mr. Lieutenant may need a rather long vacation, this matter ......!"
Pershing didn't expect that the other party gave him such a generous gift, and he actually took a fancy to Barton, but what did they want Barton to do?
He couldn't figure it out anyway. Since he couldn't figure it out, it wasn't a big deal for Patton to stay in the army.
"That's fine, as for Lieutenant Patton's leave, as long as he writes a request himself, I think I can take care of the rest for him."
Now that the business was over, the three of them also talked about the war on the French side. Soon after, Pershing went out with a bag with a full set of documents in his hand. But he had not gone a few paces when the beautiful young girl he had seen when he had entered the door chased after him, and at dinner he knew that her name was EDI.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
Probably afraid that he would go away, EDI ran after him.
"General, Mike. Mr. Lang just found out that there was an important document pulled down, and he didn't give it, No, that's it! ”
"Thank you, Miss EDI!"
Pershing was a little worried when he boarded the bag. As a general, if Mike. Prince. If the Merlin military-industrial complex bribes him, then this matter is not a trivial matter, and if he is not careful, his future will be completely ruined. Moreover, this is beyond Pershing's principle of being a man.
Therefore, when I took the paper bag, I reached out and carefully touched the document bag. I found that it was not a banknote or a security, but rather a real piece of information, so I was relieved.
After returning to his residence, he immediately opened the document bag that had been sent to him under the lamp. What he never expected was that it was the one whose name was often mentioned on the radio. Prince. A paper by the former vice president of the Merlin military-industrial complex.
The content is the characteristics of the weapons used in the European offensive campaign, as well as the impact of intensive firepower on the operation. After Pershing got the paper in his hand, he couldn't put it down, and the light in his room was on until the next morning.
