Chapter 554: Chief Divine Stick Su
As soon as he heard the knock of the bamboo pole, Su Jin's eyes immediately shot out two fine lights, and a moving smile appeared on his face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Armand, on behalf of the more than 100,000 officers and men of the Third Army, I would like to express my sympathy for you, and at the same time, we are also willing to help your country within the scope of our ability, after all, our two countries have a common experience, and it is right to help each other, what do you say?"
As soon as Su Jin's words were finished, Jensen and Armand were both stunned. What about the threat of Japanese invaders? If you say yes, you can't spare time? You are also the commander of the group army, do you want to make a face? And look at how you are thicker than our two professional diplomats.
Well, for diplomats, it's just a decoration, and it can be discarded if necessary, so let's not talk about it for now, and let's get down to business for now.
Armand reluctantly showed a smile: "General Su, I'm glad you can say that, I thank you on behalf of the French government." ”
"It's okay, it's as it should be!" At this moment, Su Jin was so radiant as if Bethune was possessed, but in the following words, he began to reveal his true form again: "Next, we should talk about aid." ”
Looking at the light that kept coming out of Su Jin's eyes, Jensen on the side sighed secretly, in his opinion, Armand was simply making it clear that he was letting the other party knock on the bamboo pole, so he almost shouted it directly, come and knock me, hurry up and knock on my bamboo pole.
As soon as Su Jin's expression became serious at the mention of benefits, he immediately became serious, and he said with a straight face: "First of all, this time we have to rush to France to participate in the war in advance, and the time is one month earlier than originally planned, so it will inevitably lead to an increase in costs, and this cost should not be paid by me, do you think I am right?" ”
Armand felt a little dizzy when he saw a general in command of an army discussing cost issues with him like a financial director, but he still resisted the discomfort in his heart and nodded in agreement.
Su Jin nodded: "Okay, since you also agree with this question, then there should be no problem for your government to pay an extra $30 million in opening fees for this, right?" ”
"This ...... Of course there is no problem! Armand hesitated for a moment, estimating that he was a little distressed about 30 million US dollars, but this idea was only turned around in his heart and then ignored by him, although 30 million US dollars is not cheap, but people are also more than 100,000 troops, and it is only a few hundred dollars to be distributed to everyone's head, so it is still reasonable.
"Good!" After Armand agreed, Su Jin continued: "Since this is the case, we have decided on this matter, but I also want to ask, the personnel and equipment of more than 100,000 troops is not a trivial matter, how do you plan to transport us over, will it be transported over in batches again and again or all at once?" ”
Before coming, Armand estimated that he had communicated with the French government, and he replied without hesitation: "General Su, please rest assured, in order to transport you and more than 100,000 soldiers of the Third Army, our government has mobilized 12 troop carriers, 27 passenger ships, and 22 cargo ships. ”
"Not enough, far from enough!" Su Jin's head shook like a rattle, "Mr. Armand, I hope that I can transport the troops away at one time, instead of transporting them to France little by little like ants moving, which will delay too much time, and you don't want me to stay in the French port with my troops stupidly and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops but can't do anything, right?" ”
"That's not enough!" Armand looked at Su Jin in surprise and expressed puzzlement. It's no wonder he doesn't understand, no wonder in his opinion, Su Jin's Third Army has only killed more than 100,000 people, rifles can naturally be carried with him, and those artillery and the like are enough to kill a few freighters to load, and now he has prepared more than 20 freighters, how is it not enough.
Jensen on the side saw this situation and knew that Armand still knew too little about the strength of the Third Army, but as a third party, he couldn't speak, otherwise when Su Jin heard it, people would naturally be unhappy. Oh, how do you know so much about the formation and weapons of my troops, and how much do you mean?
However, he didn't open his mouth Su Jin was about to speak, he thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Armand, I'm afraid you don't know very well about the strength of our group army, our group army has a total of five infantry divisions, one armored division, one air force division, two heavy artillery brigades and one air defense brigade, with a total strength of about 150,000 people. There are more than 400 tanks, more than 300 planes, more than 500 artillery pieces, and a very large number of other supplies, do you really think those ships can fit all our stuff into them? ”
"Hiss......"
Armand gasped, he never expected that this force, which he had not looked down on, would be so strong, and if it were to be so, it would be too useful if it came to France.
He hurriedly patted his chest and said: "General Su, don't worry, this time it was my work mistake, I will immediately send a new report to our government, asking them to send more cargo ships and passenger ships, and they must load all your personnel and materials." ”
"Well, I believe in the strength of your country." Su Jin nodded, and then asked a question: "Then how does your country ensure our safety during the sea voyage, you must know that the Germans have announced the implementation of unlimited submarine warfare, they will attack any ships flying the flags of belligerents, so I hope that your country can send a strong fleet to escort our fleet, I don't want my heroic soldiers not to die on the battlefield, but to be torpedoed by the Germans into the icy Atlantic." If your government can agree to this condition, then I think the matter will be fulfilled. ”
"A mighty fleet?" Armand didn't react for a while, and looked at Su Jin with some confusion.
"Yes, I need a strong fleet to escort my soldiers, who, as valiant as they are, are incomparably vulnerable to the seas. And your country has a strong navy, and the tone makes them stay in the harbor all day to bask in the sun, why not let them come out and do a little bit of activity, it's good for both of us, isn't it? ”
Su Jin looked at Armand, like a magic stick who was cheating people out of money, spitting and bewitching the poor French consul in Lu...... (To be continued.) )
