Chapter 751: Rebuilding the Navy
Wang Shihe said softly: "I am Shihe, Ambassador Smith and military attache of the US Embassy in Chongqing came to visit, saying that there is an urgent matter, and I must see you tonight." ”
Immediately, the sound of Suo Suo was heard in the room, and soon, the chairman and his wife were dressed neatly and opened the door, this saw the foreign ambassador, of course, they could not dress casually, the chairman of the committee was wearing a silk gown, and his wife was wearing a pink cheongsam, with high temples, rich and elegant.
"Where are the people, and what have they said?" The chairman of the committee said suspiciously, it must be a very urgent matter to come to see him so late.
Wang Shihe bowed down and said: "The people in the living room didn't say anything, they looked very anxious. ”
The chairman of the committee did not dare to slack off, and walked into the meeting room with his wife, and the ambassador and military attache in the room quickly got up, shook hands, and after some politeness, quickly got to the point, Smith said: "Mr. Chairman, General Marshall, Chief of Staff of our Army, and Mr. Robert 61 Anthony 61 Aiden, a British diplomat, have arrived in India today, and our country hopes to lease your country's 'Zhongshan aircraft carrier' and' At the same time, both China and Britain hope to obtain your country's technology for the production of Cobra helicopter gunships, and hope that your country will immediately send a commissioner to India to discuss relevant matters.
"Lend-lease our aircraft carriers?' 'Nakayama', 'Jie'? The chairman's expression was shocked, like falling clouds, thinking that he had heard it wrong, the armed helicopter had heard of it in the past few days, and it was shining on the battlefield in Burma, and the chairman was also a little excited about it, but he really didn't know anything about the aircraft carrier, although he knew about the Yangtze River Shipyard, but he never thought that Jiang Haoran could really build an aircraft carrier, so he didn't think about it at all, and at this time he suddenly heard that the United States was going to lease an aircraft carrier to him, where could he not be shocked or confused.
"Why, Mr. Chairman, don't you know that your country has two aircraft carriers launched a few days ago at the Yangtze River Shipyard in the United States?" Ambassador Smith wondered.
"Ahh
The chairman of the committee opened his mouth wide, which would be a little overwhelmed, but the lady was shrewd, and quickly replied: "Mr. Smith, of course we know about this matter, but we didn't expect that with the scientific and technological strength of the United States, it would actually lease an aircraft carrier from us." ”
The chairman of the committee also hurriedly echoed and said: "It's a drop, it's a drop, that's what I mean!" ”
The expression on Smith's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said with a wry smile: "In the battle of Pearl Harbor, all my country's aircraft carriers were sunk, and we really have no way to recover in a short time, but I didn't expect that your country's science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and even high-end weapons such as aircraft carriers and helicopters can be produced, which is really admirable!" ”
"Hahaha, although we started late, we have been working hard, and we have indeed made some achievements in the past few years, but there is still a long way to go compared with your country." The chairman of the committee immediately laughed, in science and technology can win the praise of the ambassador of science and technology power, this is a face-saving thing, and there are two aircraft carriers out of thin air, at this time no words can describe the excitement and joy in the heart of the chairman, although the words are low-key, but all full of pride.
When the news arrived, Smith did not mean to stay a little longer, and asked the chairman and his wife to resign. The chairman and his wife personally sent Smith and the military attache out of the mansion, and repeatedly insisted that he would arrange this matter as soon as possible and send a commissioner to India tomorrow.
When he returned to the meeting room, the chairman of the committee was so excited that he couldn't say anything, and he ordered Wang Shihe to immediately notify Chen Chen, Admiral He, Bai Chongxi, Zhou Zhirou, and other senior officials to immediately go to the mansion for a meeting.
"Darling, are you going to rebuild the navy?" Madame wondered.
Since the Battle of Wuhan, the navy has existed in name only, and Chen Shaokuan, the commander-in-chief of the navy, has become a completely empty shelf, and has not appeared at a major meeting of the Central Military Commission for a long time.
The chairman said excitedly: "Of course, now we even have aircraft carriers, and there are two, why not rebuild the navy?" ”
"But the problem is, we don't have a military port at all now, where are these two aircraft carriers docked?"
"Wenzhou!" The chairman of the committee replied with certainty, "I finally understand now why Jiang Haoran would rather give up Wuhan than seize Wenzhou, it turns out that he has long wanted to rebuild the navy, and the capture of Wenzhou is prepared for these two aircraft carriers. ”
Madame said: "This is unlikely, even if Wenzhou can build a military port, but with just two aircraft carriers, no frigates, submarines, carrier-based aircraft and skilled sailors, this navy is probably not so easy to rebuild, right?" Moreover, even if these are available, they are not enough to compete with the Japanese Pacific Fleet, and they cannot gain a foothold in Wenzhou at all. What's more, isn't the US side now preparing to talk to us about the matter of leasing aircraft carriers? Aren't you going to lend them out? ”
The chairman said: "It is impossible for Wenzhou to dock aircraft carriers for the time being, and the navy really cannot compete with the Japanese army at sea, but I believe that since Jiang Haoran has this preparation, there will definitely be a plan for the next step, and this is just the beginning." As for the matter of the United States leasing aircraft carriers? This is not a conflict, with the industrial strength of the United States, it will not be long before they can produce a naval fleet that can compete with the Japanese army, even if it is to lease our aircraft carriers, this time will not be too long, and we can take advantage of this time to make preliminary preparations. ”
Seeing the chairman's high-spirited and ambitious appearance, Mrs. couldn't help but wonder, since the Anti-Japanese War, it is rare to see the chairman so determined and full of confidence, Mrs. rolled her eyes, and said meaningfully: "To say that Haoran's child is really good, 'Zhongshan', 'Jiezhong'?" Giggle 616161616161 he actually puts your uncle first in his heart, but your uncle has never been at ease with him. ”
"Humph!" Saying this, the chairman of the committee suddenly changed his face, snorted coldly, and said: "This time he is still acquainted, and he didn't make a whole thing." Haoran came out, but he didn't notify me in advance of such a big matter, so I almost made a fool of myself in front of the US ambassador, and the United States and Britain had already arrived in India for this negotiation, but they didn't notify us in advance, obviously they didn't want to talk to Jiang Haoran directly, so I don't know what reason they didn't continue, otherwise there would not have been a US ambassador who came to visit so late in a hurry. ”
