Chapter 754: Negotiation
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Robert 61 Anthony 61 Aiden suddenly pushed the document in his hand to the table, slapped the case, and said angrily: "Why don't you go and grab it?" ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly sank, and Chen Chen and Chen Shaokuan suddenly looked embarrassed and looked a little restless. Mrs. smiled, looked at Robert 61 Anthony 61 Aiden without being humble or arrogant, and did not speak, Jiang Haoran even hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and held his hands in front of his chest, so that he could be ready.
Marshall didn't lift his eyelids, and kept looking at the papers in his hand.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, and Marshall had not yet spoken, Robert 61 Anthony 61 Aiden felt bored, sat down angrily, and looked at the document again.
Although the British navy is powerful, the army is vulnerable, and the air force is significantly behind the US army. Before World War II, Britain's overall level may not be inferior to that of the United States, whether it is industrial, economic, or military, it is on a par with the United States, and they have many colonies, a vast territory, and an out-and-out empire on which the sun never sets. However, after the beginning of World War II, the battlefield was defeated one after another, the mainland was bombed by the German army, and a large number of colonies fell, basically ending the position of a century-old hegemon. Moreover, in order to continue this war, they are inseparable from the strong support of the United States, and they have completely become the little brother of the United States.
Therefore, in this negotiation, only Marshall really held the power, and the British appeared at the negotiating table at this time, basically playing the role of paying the bill.
Actually, I don't blame Robert 61 Anthony 61 Aiden for being angry, it's really Jiang Haoran who dares to open his mouth too much, and he really can't hold it down without Marshall's scheming and prime minister's heart that can support the boat in his belly.
What Jiang Haoran wants is that four steel plants with an annual output of one million tons of steel, four large cement plants, and four large power plants will only be completed after the installation and commissioning of all factory equipment, but this is only the big picture. There are countless other lathes, drilling machines, milling machines, planers, grinding machines and other machine tools, involving weapons, ships, excavation, mining and other light and heavy industrial production, and even oil extraction equipment has not been left behind.
Moreover, this is only the technology transfer fee for the Cobra gunship, and the two aircraft carriers are counted separately. According to the one-year lease period proposed by the United States, Jiang Haoran did not want money and materials, and the price was two aircraft carriers of the same level, that is, after the expiration of the lease period, the United States would return the four aircraft carriers of the Chongqing government.
Jiang Haoran's idea is very simple, with the weapon drawings in his mind, he can produce any weapon needed in the battlefield, there is no shortage of technology, what is lacking is the industrial base, and with these equipment, there will be two years of development, at least to meet the needs of the entire Chinese battlefield is no problem at all.
China has a vast land and abundant resources, including gold, silver, copper, iron, tungsten and even oil. As a traverser, where there is an oil field, where there is a copper and iron ore basic door clear, this is only the knowledge of junior high school geography, although it is not necessarily known the exact location, but there is no problem to determine a certain city, with this direction is enough.
Marshall looked very carefully and very attentively, and he did not see a trace of change in his expression during the whole process, and he was calm and calm. It was a full half hour before Marshall slowly closed the folder, clasped his hands to his chest, and examined the folder for a few seconds, as if in thought.
Then he raised his head, glanced at the audience, stayed on Jiang Haoran's face for a few seconds, and finally his eyes fell on Madame, who already had a playful smile on his face, and said: "Madam, first of all, what I want to tell you is that we are allies, and resisting the aggression of the Axis powers is our common goal, not the matter of Britain, the United States or even a certain country of the Soviet Union. ”
Madame smiled slightly and said: "Yes, we are allies, I admit this, but before this, since the '918 Incident' in the 19th year of the Republic of China, we have been fighting the Japanese army alone for nine years, and it is with our early attrition that the national strength and strength of the Japanese army have declined significantly, otherwise, with the wolf ambition of the Japanese army, the current war situation may be more severe, and the losses of the allies may be greater." As a result, our national government is heavily indebted, depleted of resources, and deprived of livelihoods. Moreover, in this situation, we still insist on resisting the war and holding back hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops for the Allied forces, shouldn't our allies help us? So, I don't think we're asking too much at all, not to mention that our helicopters and aircraft carriers are definitely worth the price, so we won't back down at this point. ”
Madame's words made Jiang Haoran's thumb hidden in the crook of his arm can't help but stand up, not only answering the question forcefully, but also secretly ridiculing them in the past few years of the Japanese invasion of China, they not only watched the fire from the other side, but also took advantage of the fire to rob, and now these are regarded as rewards. But this return is probably less than one-tenth of what Britain and the United States plundered from China.
Of course, Marshall would not blush at these things, and immediately replied: "No, no, no, madam, there is absolutely no problem in helping China, and we have been doing this, and even a thousand transport planes and two hundred fighter planes will be sent to the Chinese battlefield soon, opening a hump route for China, so that weapons, ammunition and all kinds of material resources will flow into China continuously, as for these equipment or something, we will not see the effect in the short term, what you lack, we will send it, there is no need to do more than that." ”
Marshall was undoubtedly a master negotiator, and his slick approach to avoiding the important was slick and seemed convincing. But Madame is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately pointed out that they opened the Hump route to ensure that the expeditionary force can win the battlefield in Burma and prevent the German-Japanese and Indian divisions, and at the same time, it is also to let the Chinese army drag the Japanese army on the battlefield in China.
Speaking of this, Marshall immediately responded, this matter is mutual benefit, elaborating on all kinds of things, without their support, China will face the danger of extinction.
Mrs. retorted, China has been fighting the war for nine years, does not care about two more years, and now on the Chinese battlefield, the national army has won successive victories, has recovered many cities, even if there is a lack of materials, but the Chinese population is large, the source of soldiers is sufficient, even with bayonets, fists, and teeth, you can still fight with the Japanese army for a few more years, the determination of the Chinese to resist Japan has never wavered, and will never give in now and in the future, but Britain and the United States may not be so optimistic, once the expeditionary force withdraws from Burma, Germany and Japan will soon meet forces in India, and I am afraid that they will not think about the Soviet Union first, but Britain and the United States.
