Chapter 623: Procurement Plan

Diana really didn't disappoint Qin Feng, less than a month after returning to China, several transatlantic telegrams had been sent, all about the production line of planes and tanks, of course, it would be full of sensual words that missed you and kissed you, American girls were enthusiastic and unrestrained, daring to love and hate, not to mention a romantic like Diana, it was even more strange.

After Diana's lobbying and even the power of the family, the United States finally agreed to sell Qin Feng's current most advanced aircraft and tank production lines to Qin Feng at the lowest price. Of course, the United States originally made a fortune from the war, whether it is finished products or equipment, as long as the price is right, it will basically be sold, and the price is the key to the problem, which is also the crux of Diana's need to work hard, and finally Diana was fortunate to live up to her life, and the four production lines will be shipped from Yangon by sea, and then transported to Kunming via the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

Seeing this, it is estimated that many people are going to be dizzy, such a large batch of equipment is a huge amount of money just for transportation, who will pay for it, is it Diana?

The answer is no, in fact, Murong Youheng is in the United States, and penicillin is sold to a huge profit, and now there is no shortage of money.

Not long after Diana's good news came, Murong Youheng also wrote to inform that the Americans were very interested in these patented products, and even couldn't believe that this was a scientific research achievement from China, and the Japanese army relied on bazookas to defeat the Soviet tank group in the Battle of Nomenkan.47 Compared with the Thomson submachine gun in the United States, the structure is simple, easy to operate, easy to maintain, more powerful and better, which makes the United States marvel that this is a genius.

The walkie-talkie and radar are even more surprising to the US side, because the two products are also produced and used by the US military. However, the US military's walkie-talkie weighs more than 10 kilograms, and the call distance is even shorter than that of this thing developed by China that can be put into the pocket, which makes the United States, which has always been a scientific and technological power, embarrassed, and the radar is even more outrageous. The United States also realizes that if these cutting-edge technologies are used in war, they will definitely be a magic weapon and a sharp weapon for victory, which makes the Americans' eyes too hot, but the conditions offered by the Chinese side are simply unacceptable to them.

Qin Feng's condition was to exchange these cutting-edge technologies for 9 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, 9 light cruisers, 67 destroyers, and 12 submarines. The U.S. side can deliver in three-year installments. There were also additional conditions, all ships were temporarily docked in the United States, allowing the squadron to practice in the designated area.

However, there is a second option...... For this condition, the military top brass can no longer make the decision, and can only hand it over to the president for him to decide.

In a few days, the list was in the hands of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Roosevelt was furious when he saw this, and scolded on the spot: "Shameless, extremely shameless!" I see that the Chinese want to rebuild the navy and want to go crazy? With such naΓ―ve ideas, 9 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, 9 light cruisers, 67 destroyers, 12 submarines, the whole fucking Pacific Fleet, and they were allowed to anchor and practice in our military port, wouldn't I sleep every night with a fleet of other countries aimed at my White House? β€œ

Army Chief of Staff Marshall said: "Not really, because they are not equipped with weapons during the berth time!" β€œ

"That's not going to work, just use some to exchange my entire Pacific Fleet, they're just wishful thinking!" Roosevelt's anger did not subside.

Marshall said: "Mr. President, the military has given these 'things' a high evaluation, saying that they are enough to change the tide of the war, and they can be called magic weapons and weapons for victory!" β€œ

Roosevelt was displeased: "Then you mean to agree with their conditions?" In other words, should we trade the entire Pacific Fleet for their so-called high-tech patents? β€œ

Marshall smiled and said, "No, no, Mr. President, they actually have a second plan, and I think this second plan is acceptable!" β€œ

With that, Marshall pulled out a piece of paper from the folder and handed it to Roosevelt.

Roosevelt glanced at Marshall, took the document in his hand, and looked at it, and the expression on his face slowly unfolded as his gaze moved downward.

"Hmm, what do you think of this?" Roosevelt pursed his lips and nodded slightly, handed the document in his hand back to Marshall, and said.

Marshall said with a smile: "I don't know what the Chinese think, the previous requirement is that the lion opens its mouth, and there is simply no discipline." In exchange for a large, well-equipped shipyard that allows all the shipyard's products to leave the port and hand them over to the Chinese government at any time, the United States must not block it for any reason, all the equipment and materials needed for shipbuilding are supplied at market prices, and prices and supplies must not be increased or cut off for any reason, and other ridiculous conditions such as allowing the Nationalist Government to send officers and soldiers to our navy for training on our navy ships are not to be mentioned......

Speaking of this, Marshall laughed so much that tears flowed out, as if this was the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life, which provoked Roosevelt to be handsome, and it took a long time before Marshall continued: "What do you say the Chinese think about it, China will not die or not?" If it dies, then these things are given to us in vain, even if it does not die, do the Chinese understand shipbuilding technology? This is an aircraft carrier and a battleship, but it is not a wooden ship from the Qing government, and throwing so much money in the United States is simply to promote the economic development of the United States? β€œ

Roosevelt was obviously not so optimistic, Marshall's words instead made him fall into contemplation, Qin Feng is certainly no stranger to Roosevelt, that is the killing god who terrified the Japanese army on the battlefield in China, and even has many admirers in the United States, not long ago, the Morgan consortium also came forward to lobby for the sale to Qin Feng of two aircraft and tank production lines in the Lishui base, which shows that he is determined to devote himself to the development of industry and is a very far-sighted person.

The most incredible thing is that he avoided the national government in all this, and it was completely Qin Feng's personal behavior, although the transaction party was a technology company named Huanghe registered in the United States, but the licensee was called Murong Youheng, according to reliable information, this person was Qin Feng's own brother-brother, he had already made this series of arrangements, before putting these cutting-edge technologies on the table to negotiate with the US government, it can be seen that this Qin Feng is by no means a simple character, everything is more like a bureau, a bureau within a bureau that leads the US government to take the bait, so, This matter still needs to be considered.
