Chapter 509: Impressive

A glint flashed in Hull's originally cloudy eyes, but his mouth said, "General Su, what you say is just your judgment. In fact, even the best military strategists cannot judge when a war will start, so why should you make such a judgment? ”

"Not by anything, just by the intuition of a soldier." Su Jin said calmly: "In fact, it is ridiculous for anyone to use the so-called scientific method to judge the time of the outbreak of war, and the reason why I am saying this to you is not to prove anything to anyone, but only based on small talk between us." ”

Hearing this, although there was no change on Hull's face, his evaluation of the Huaxia general in front of him had risen to a higher level in his heart. He understood what Su Jin meant, and the other party was telling him: Put away your arrogant face, the reason why I agreed to talk to you about this is just out of politeness, if it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have bothered to tell you this.

Although he was vaguely warned by Su Jin, Hull was not angry about it. What kind of person is Hull, he has lived for more than half a century, he is almost about to become a sperm, how can he be angry about such a trivial matter.

"Okay!" Hehel suddenly smiled, "General Su, I apologize to you for my questioning of you just now, can I ask you the next question?" ”

"Of course!" Su Jin also showed a smile on his face, but there was a big alarm bell in his heart, this old guy doesn't look like he has gray hair, but he can bend and stretch, and he doesn't look like I am a high-ranking official of a world power, you guy from a weak country quickly kneel and lick the arrogant appearance, but the more this kind of guy is in the city, the more vigilant Su Jin is.

In fact, not only Su Jin, but as the conversation progressed, Hull's heart became more and more surprised, judging from his rich diplomatic experience, the young general in front of him still had reservations in the chat just now, but even so, the information he revealed was also very surprised. He has very incisive views on the contradictions of European countries, the personalities of the main leaders of each country, and the comprehensive national strength and military strength of each country.

In fact, Hull naturally didn't know that what Su Jin revealed to him was a conclusion made after decades of study and research by countless scholars and experts around the world in another time and space. No matter how powerful he is, how can he be as beautiful as the elites of the world, but at this time, Hull was still a little skeptical about some of Su Jin's views.

"Your Excellency, are you so sure that if there is a war, the Germans will defeat the combined forces of Britain and France?"

"It's already obvious." Su Jin said with some disdain: "The British army is an army composed of waste, and the French are still immersed in the glory of defeating the Germans during World War I. And economically, politically, culturally, and militarily, the Germans have left France far behind. Most importantly, in the years since the First World War, the French have pinned their security on the unreliable Maginot Line, and after such a comparison, it would be unreasonable for the Germans not to win. ”

Listening to Su Jin's analysis, Hull's eyes widened. At this time, the French Army was known as the first in the world, and although the British national strength weakened after World War I, after all, the tiger would not fall, and the name of the empire that had spread for more than 200 years could still bluff many people, but these two countries became scarecrows in Su Jin's mouth, how could this not shock Hull.

Prior to this, Hull and the American bigwigs believed that if Britain and France went to war with Germany, the greatest possibility would be to relapse into the stalemate of the First World War, until one side collapsed due to exhaustion.

Although Hull is a very good diplomat, the military aspect is not what he is good at, after listening to Su Jin's "high-minded talk", although he disagreed, but out of politeness he still listened quietly. After Su Jin finished speaking, he said: "General Su, although I can't fully agree with your judgment, I still have to feel unexpectedly for your erudition and wisdom, if I can, I hope to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate with you in the future!" ”

"Cooperation?" Su Jin was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Hull, aren't we cooperating now?" We hold back the Japanese in Asia for you, and you pay only a small amount of material. ”

Faced with Su Jin's merciless explanation of the essence of the matter, Hull did not feel the slightest embarrassment, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency, General, there is no free lunch in the world. Isn't it great that you need supplies, and we need peace, and both sides take what they need? ”

Su Jin took a deep breath, although he was very reluctant, but he also had to admit that what Hull said made sense, and just as he wanted to speak, Bai Qishan walked in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Su Jin said to him helplessly: "Mr. Hull, I regret to interrupt our conversation. The airport has just reported that the plane is ready and ready to go, and as for safety, you can rest assured that I will send a fighter jet to escort you all the way to your destination. ”

Hull stood up and stretched out his right hand to Su Jin, and said with a sincere smile on his face: "General Su, it's a pleasure to have a sincere conversation with you, although we haven't been able to talk about some things because of time, but this does not affect my understanding of you, and I feel honored to know such an excellent general as you." ”

"That's up to me." Su Jin Zhengse said: "I have never been in contact with a diplomat from the West before this, which is completely different from what I imagined, and you have used your wisdom to change my opinion of your government." ”

"Thank you, and I'm equally honored by your comments." Hull has been doing diplomatic work for most of his life, so he can naturally tell that Su Jin's words are indeed sincere, and the smile on his face is even more sincere.

After the two said goodbye, Hull, accompanied by seven or eight entourage, boarded a DC3 passenger plane bound for Chongqing, and after the plane took off, it flew west accompanied by four shrew fighters.

Shortly after takeoff, the plane flew steadily at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and at this time, people began to move around the cabin one after another.

At this time, Hull also looked around with interest, although Hull had already taken this DC3 aircraft produced by Hull many times, but it was the first time he had seen such a modification as this one.

The plane had been completely refitted, and the area where he was flying had been converted into an office, with a rudimentary aluminium interior wall covered in oak paneling and carved with the Kuomintang emblem. All four portholes are covered with blue velvet curtains. On the left side of the cabin is a small desk, and on the right is a row of leather sofas against the wall. The overall design looks harmonious and doesn't feel cramped or cramped.

There were a few more seats in front of Hull, and several of the entourage were leaning their heads over the window and discussing something in a whispered and heated manner.

Hull looked out the window with some curiosity, and found that not far from the window on his right was accompanied by two fighter jets with a rather familiar shape.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar Hull said, "Condon, Gray, come over and see, are these planes outside their imitation of the Wildcat fighters?" ”

Soon, Condon and a few others got up and walked in front of him, only to see the officer named Condon say to him with a very serious expression: "Mr. Hull, this is exactly what we intend to report to you." Although the appearance of this aircraft looks very similar to our Wildcat fighter, but after the identification of Gray and me, we found that this is a new type of fighter that we have never seen, although we do not know the performance of this fighter, but the appearance of this fighter also means that the Su general and the forces behind him have the ability to develop new fighters, which has to arouse our vigilance. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Hull couldn't help but be taken aback, although imitation and development seem similar, but the meaning contained in them is completely different. Imitation can only say that the other party has the ability to follow others and catch up, but research and development means that the other party has creativity, this discovery makes Hull can't help but be surprised, if this is true, then it means that they must re-evaluate the strength of Su Jin and the forces behind him.

After a long groan, Hull asked in a deep voice, "Major Condon, can you confirm it?" ”

Condon affirmed: "Of course, as an air force officer, I have an understanding of the active aircraft in my country and other countries around the world, although it is not a Wildcat fighter, but I can tell you for sure that this fighter has a deep relationship with our Wildcat fighter, maybe it is derived from the Wildcat fighter." But what struck me most was why we hadn't been reported on this, knowing that Karl and Nicholas had been in this unit all along. ”

Hull took a deep breath and said slowly: "There is nothing strange about it, there is only one reason, and that is because the Huaxia people didn't want them to notice this fighter before, and until now they feel that they don't need to keep it secret before they let us see it." ”

With that, Hull fell into deep thought. He was in this state for two hours, until a hurried voice woke him up.

"Your Excellency Hull, the plane...... The Japanese ...... planes" (to be continued.) )
