This meeting ended in unhappiness, and the three of them came to Su Jin to ask for an explanation, but they didn't expect that the French would make peace with the Germans, and then Armand and others were dumbfounded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's not all, at the instigation of Su Jin, the three people who came together also had a disagreement. Armand and Laborde were wary of the Yankees because Jensen refused to guarantee that the U.S. government would not restrict their freedom, thinking that the United States was going to take the opportunity to annex their fleet, and Jensen was also very dissatisfied, you French people ran to my house to eat and drink for nothing, and you don't want to work, I really think that our U.S. government is an idiot, this is definitely not good, so both sides are a little unhappy, but the three of them are civilized people, and they did not quarrel about this, so under Su Jin's suggestion, everyone went back first, Further consultations will be held in a few days.

After the three of them left, Zhou Yusheng immediately found Su Jin and asked, "Sir, do you have a crush on that French fleet?" ”

After all, Su Jin has made such a big movement these days, if Zhou Yusheng doesn't notice it, then he will be the chief of staff in vain, he has been unable to figure out for most of the past half a year, why Su Jin would be so short-sighted and take more than 100,000 brothers of the Third Army to work for the French, to say that he is not in a hurry is false, but every time he mentions this matter to Su Jin, Su Jin always has a mysterious and unpredictable look, and now it seems that Su Jin has premeditated this matter, but Zhou Yusheng can't figure it out, Why was Su Jin so sure that the French would be defeated?

Su Jin laughed, "Chi Yu, who knows me, you must have a lot of questions in your heart these days." ”

Zhou Yusheng asked suspiciously: "Sir, I really don't understand, how do you know the time when Germany will attack France, and you are so sure that the French will definitely be defeated?" ”

"Analysis, precise analysis." Su Jin pointed to his head and said: "There is no doubt that there will be a war between Germany and Britain and France, and Hitler will not forget the humiliation brought to him by the First World War, which will be known with a little analysis." ”

"How do you know then when the Germans will attack France, and you are so sure that the French will be defeated during this time, and what will we do if the French hold out for a few more months?" Zhou Yusheng then asked.

Faced with this difficult problem, Su Jin only said one sentence: "Two ways, one is to delay, and the other is to cheat, anyway, the money has already entered my pocket, and it is impossible to let me spit it out again." ”

Although Su Jin's explanation was very pale and weak, Zhou Yusheng wisely did not continue to ask, and he could see that his boss was quite secretive about some questions, and if he continued to ask, he was afraid that he would touch on something that the boss didn't want him to know. Although Zhou Yusheng is not a smooth person, after so many years in the army, he naturally understands that if he knows too many things, it will not be beneficial to him.

"Okay, Chi Yu, these are all details, let's study how to get this fleet." Su Jin interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, you're kind of asking me." Zhou Yusheng smiled bitterly: "This fleet is French, and the difficulty of getting it into our hands is tantamount to being more difficult than climbing to the sky." What's more, even if they give it to us, no one will open it! ”

Su Jin shook his head and said, "Since the French have come to our territory, it is up to them what the surname of this fleet is." If no one opens, we can find someone to learn, whether it is five years or ten years, if we don't learn, we will never! What's more, we won't and don't care, I remember that the current Chairman Shen Da of Shandong Province is a serious naval background, and he should have a lot of talents in this area. ”

"You mean Chairman Shen Honglie?" Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but groan when he heard this, to say that this is one of the oldest admirals in this year, this person once served as a staff officer of the Military Aircraft Department of the Navy Department of the Nanjing Provisional Government of the Republic of China, the colonel of the Navy Bureau of the Beijing General Staff Headquarters, the commander of the Jihei River Defense Fleet, the deputy commander of the Northeast Bohai Fleet, the commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy, and the acting commander-in-chief, and he is also a rare educated general in the Northeast Army......

Seeing that Zhou Yusheng was silent, Su Jin asked, "Chi Yu, if you have any ideas, you just have to say." ”

Zhou Yusheng said slowly: "Sir, you also know that the more than 100,000 people in our Third Army are all in the army, and there is no general from the navy, if Shen Honglie is allowed to command this fleet, with his rank and qualifications, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to suppress him, if he takes charge of the fleet and leaves directly with the fleet, what will we do?" ”

Su Jin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Chi Yu, you are also smart and confused for a while, he Shen Honglie wants to control this fleet, but does he have that ability?" You must know that the French are not vegetarians, the most important thing is that whether it is the French or Shen Honglie, as long as the logistics and supply control are in our hands, we will not worry about them being obedient, and the most important thing is that even if he controls the fleet, where can he go? ”

"Hey......" Zhou Yusheng then remembered, now the entire outlet of China is occupied by the Japanese except for Zhejiang, as long as Su Jin controls Zhejiang, he is not afraid of Shen Honglie's blowing, and with the passage of time, when Su Jin's own naval talents grow up, they will naturally control this fleet firmly in their hands.

"The chief is indeed far-sighted, but the ministry is not as good as it!"

Su Jin scolded with a smile: "You don't come to this set, I don't know who you Zhou Chiyu is, but this matter can't be rushed, feeding a fleet is not a simple matter, just maintaining and replenishing on weekdays is a lot of money, and the most important thing is that we don't have professional talents to get these things, so I have to find a time to discuss it with the Yankees." ”

"Americans, can they promise?" Zhou Yusheng was skeptical, don't forget the idea that the Americans are also fighting this fleet, how can they help themselves.

"You'll figure this out later." Su Jin looked at his chief of staff, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his chief of staff is a good hand in the military, but he doesn't know much about politics......

"What...... Do you want to leave the French fleet in Zhejiang and serve you? ”

Jensen looked at Su Jin with wide eyes, if it weren't for the fact that he was sure that this was the person he knew, he almost thought that he had met a madman.

"Yes."

Su Jin looked directly at the American ambassador to China with firm eyes, and after dinner, he drove to Jensen's place to find him, and bluntly said that he wanted to control the French fleet.

"Ambassador Jensen, I know that your country also wants to get this fleet to the United States in order to increase the strength of the United States Navy. But I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of asking, does the United States really need such a fleet today? If it is really necessary, I can assert that it will take less than half a year to build a fleet several times more powerful than it in your country's industrial strength, and the main reason why you have encouraged Admiral Laborde to sail the fleet to America today is that you are worried that Admiral Laborde will return to France with this fleet and surrender to the Germans. ”

Jensen was silent, Su Jin was right, with the industrial strength and surplus production capacity of the United States, which is so strong that it almost wants to kill itself, it really doesn't take the French warships seriously. In another time and space, the Americans with full horsepower seemed to be crazy, and in just four years, they built nearly 300,000 aircraft, 100,000 tanks and self-propelled guns, 370,000 cannons, 3.5 million military trucks, 1,500 warships, and more than 100 aircraft carriers, including frigates. The real reason is that, as Su Jin said, they are afraid that they will defect to the Germans, which is what they are most worried about.

Seeing that Jensen didn't speak, Su Jin smiled slightly and continued: "Actually, don't you think that leaving such a French fleet in our Huaxia is more useful than getting them to the past?" They can better contain the Japanese here, or at least make the Japanese less unscrupulous to deploy their forces to the Pacific Ocean to reduce the pressure on the US Navy, do you think? ”

After being silent for a long time, Jensen said, "General Su, I have to admit that your words moved me. But I must tell you that it is not up to me to decide on such a big matter, and the only thing I can do is to report your words to President Roosevelt, and I will not reply to you until he has made a decision. ”

Listening to Jensen's words, Su Jin smiled. He knew that this thing was at least half of the battle, and that it was up to the French that the remaining half was up to the French.

After Su Jin left, Jensen looked at Su Jin's back and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, a figure walked out from behind and said to Jensen: "Mr. Ambassador, do you really want to agree to his request, if you let him control such a fleet, I am afraid it will have an adverse impact on the interests of the United States, right?" ”

Jensen didn't speak, but took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his arms, lit it and took a deep breath, and only after spitting out a long column of smoke did he sneer: "Lieutenant Colonel Crawford, you still haven't been able to look at the problem beyond the thinking of a soldier, in fact, the General Su is right, this French fleet staying in China will help us more than going to the United States." The Chinese will not just let them stay in the harbor and bask in the sun, they will definitely go to war with the Japanese, no matter what the outcome will be for us in the United States, in that case, why should I stop him?
