Chapter 1218 - Aid to the Soviet Air Force
In the eagerly awaited gaze of everyone, Marshall thought for a long time, finally sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will report your conditions to the White House as soon as possible, and whether it can be passed or not depends on the creation." ”
As soon as the words fell, warm applause suddenly sounded in the room, and after a long time, Jiang Haoran walked quickly to Marshall with a smile, stretched out his right hand to him, and said: "General Marshall, on behalf of the Chinese people and the peace-loving people of the world, I thank you because you have saved the world." ”
Marshall smiled bitterly: "You don't have to put a high hat on me, my reputation is completely ruined in your hands, and the two failures in my diplomatic history are all in your hands, ashamed!" ”
"No, no General Marshall!" Jiang Haoran hurriedly said: "The two negotiations between us cannot be measured by success or failure, both sides take what they need, and no one has suffered a loss, but in the mouth of the world, everyone will say that I Jiang Haoran is insatiable, but your General Marshall will usher in a piece of praise, saying that you Marshall in order to fight fascism and world peace, dare to sacrifice himself, and have a far-sighted strategic vision, and the facts will also prove that it is precisely because of your two wise decisions that you successfully rewrote the history of World War II, and the Allies will be at the cost of the least casualties. Defeat the fascists in the fastest time and achieve a total victory. ”
There is a way that you don't wear a thousand sycophants, Marshall's face suddenly looked much better, his fingers were connected in the air, and he said: "I can see it, as long as you Jiang Haoran gets the benefits in your hands, you can do without any other reputation and face, come on, I won't say much, time is urgent, you hurry up and arrange a high-power radio station for me, I want a transoceanic telegraph." ”
"Eh, Adjutant Lin, hurry up, take General Marshall to telegraph!"
Lin Long stepped forward quickly, neatly spread out his right hand and stretched it out, "General Marshall, please!" ”
Marshall looked at Lin Long, then looked back at Jiang Haoran, with a playful smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, he stretched out his arms very gentlemanly, signaling Lin Long to go first, and the group quickly followed Lin Long out of the conference room.
As the heavy door of the conference room closed, the room suddenly burst into cheers and tsunami cheers, and the long-suppressed joy was fully released at this moment, and everyone danced and had no shape at all, where it was still like a group of senior generals of the party-state.
After cheering, Zhang Dabiao flattered Jiang Haoran and said: "General seat, you are too godly, we can't even think of this kind of thing, who knows that you really did it, now your status in the party-state and among the people will go to a higher level, and all the forces with a little vision should move closer to you, I think Li Zongjian, the president, is about to come to an end." ”
Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "These are small things, the most important thing is that we have cleared foreign debts and recovered national sovereignty, in the future, the word concession will no longer exist in China, all open ports will also be closed, China is no longer a cat and a dog can come in casually, and we are now lightly armed, the industrial base has also reached a certain level, as long as the Chinese work together, it will be a year or two, foreigners will not want to pinch our necks on this again, at that time, none of us will be afraid." ”
Jiang Haoran's words were immediately seconded, and everyone was quickly brought into a beautiful imagination.
An hour later, Lin Long returned to the conference room with Marshall and his entourage, Marshall's face was solemn, his eyes swept over the faces of Jiang Haoran, Zhang Dabiao, Liu He and other Chinese generals one by one, and only raised everyone's hearts to their throats.
Who knew that Marshall suddenly smiled, stretched out his right hand to Jiang Haoran, and said, "Congratulations to you, General Jiang, you have won, and the White House has agreed to your request." Hey...... Are you nervous with so much sweat in your palms? ”
There was already a burst of cheers in the room, and most people didn't hear Marshall's teasing words in the second half, but Jiang Haoran still heard it clearly, and suddenly understood that Marshall was deliberately creating a tense atmosphere just now, which was a small revenge on himself, and immediately withdrew his right hand from Marshall's hand, and subconsciously grabbed a handful of his index finger in the palm of his hand, which was really wet.
"Hehe, General Marshall, you really can't afford to lose a little? This guy scared the hell out of me......".
"Hahaha!" Marshall laughed heartily, and then continued: "General Chiang, although we agreed to your request, there is also one condition. ”
"Okay, you say!" Jiang Haoran replied very dryly.
Marshall said: "According to reliable sources, after the capture of Moscow, the German army immediately divided a large number of infantry and tank clusters to advance in the direction of Stalingrad and the Caucasus, intending to perform a blitzkrieg again, you know, even if we get your jet fighter technology, it is impossible to mass-produce it in a month, and the number that can really reach the number of containment of the German offensive may have to be more than two months, but no one can predict what the Soviet Union will become after two months, so, We hope that you will provide no less than 200 Tiger jet fighters before then, and send pilots to form an air force to aid the Soviet Union, so as to immediately go to the Soviet battlefield to fight, so as to curb the momentum of the German offensive and buy us time. ”
"Two hundred, to aid the Soviet Air Force?" Jiang Haoran subconsciously responded, and then frowned in contemplation.
This made Molotov on the side very nervous, and said hurriedly: "General Chiang, two hundred planes are not enough to solve the current crisis, and our pilots have no combat experience in flying jet fighters at all, and they do not have a complete radar system like you in the air, only your pilots can complete this arduous task, so I must ask you to agree to this request, and be fast." ”
It stands to reason that as an outstanding diplomat, it is impossible to show such an eager expression, but at present, the fate of the Soviet Union is hanging by a thread, and the nerves of the people up and down are very tense, but if there is a hope of saving the Soviet Union, who can calmly and calmly, so Molotov's performance is also understandable.
Jiang Haoran touched his nose, shook his head and said with a regretful expression: "Two hundred planes is not a problem, I can transfer it to you immediately, but ...... pilot?" Alas, you must also see that the relationship between me and Li Zongjian is a little tense at the moment, he has stopped the salaries of all the troops under me, as well as a group army that I just recruited, because I have been behind enemy lines for a long time, and I haven't even received a penny of military salary for three years, as you all know, where does this soldier have no salary and still have the heart to fight, especially at this time to let them go abroad to fight, all of them are frosted eggplants, and there is no combat effectiveness on the battlefield, so it is better not to go. ”
