Lu Yuan is fluent in English, and Jensen knows a lot about Chinese, so there is no need for a translator to be present.

Lu Yuan took a shallow sip of his wine glass, and saw that Jensen didn't speak, and penicillin was in his hand, he was not in a hurry at all.

The Americans had not yet entered the war, and their thirst for penicillin was far less intense than that of the British or Chairman Chiang, but Lu was far from caring, because what he had in his hands was more than just penicillin.

"Captain Lu, so let's officially start, shall we?"

After a polite gesture, Jensen coughed dryly and said: "On behalf of my President of the United States of America, Mr. Roosevelt, I would like to express my highest respect to you, Commander Lu, and at the same time, I sincerely want to ask Captain Lu for the formula of penicillin, such a drug, we should let it benefit the sick and wounded who need it all over the world......"

"Mr. Jensen, let's stop talking about these vain heads, right?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Penicillin, although my President Mr. Roosevelt values it very much, he must not be willing to pay too much price in exchange for it - so, we won't talk about penicillin tonight!" ”

"Huh?"

Jensen was stunned.

In this era when most of the planet is involved in war, it is difficult to estimate how much demand penicillin has!

If any country can control the production of penicillin, then they are all inquisitive beings for the warring countries, and they can exchange everything from the two sides of those warring countries, all kinds of minerals, gold, resources, whatever they want!

A few years ago, the United States of America was struggling in the Great Depression and was on the verge of collapse, but it was because of the outbreak of wars everywhere that they quickly came out of the brink of collapse and embarked on the path of rapid development.

Arguably, no one knows better than the Americans how much war money can boost the economy.

As long as the production formula of penicillin is obtained, once it is successfully mass-produced, then penicillin will be the most profitable item in the whole of the United States, even the arms deal has to be ranked after penicillin!

What's more, although the Americans are not involved in the war now, as the war situation deteriorates, it is only a matter of time before they intervene in the war, after all, they cannot watch the Germans occupy the whole of Europe, watch the British Empire, France, and so on all fall without hesitation.

After all, Americans also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

That's why Americans are so eager to get penicillin formula, firstly, because of huge benefits, and secondly, because they are also preparing for a rainy day in the war they may participate in in the future.

But as soon as Lu Yuan opened his mouth, he actually said that such a small benefit of penicillin was not worth talking about, how could he not surprise Jensen?

After all, Jensen didn't think that Lu Yuan could have something in his hands that could impress their president more than penicillin - although Lu Yuan's name had already spread all over Europe and the United States, he was only a small regiment leader after all, and his energy was still very limited.

Even if his future may be limitless, for now, he is still just a small regiment leader.

"I'll start by saying what I want!"

Lu Yuan looked at Jensen and smiled, put down the wine glass and said: "What I want is for your country to unite other countries to impose economic sanctions on Japan to prevent the Japanese from importing strategic materials from anywhere, and at the same time, I hope that your country's fleet will blockade the Pacific Ocean, and once it is found that the Japanese have ships to transport strategic materials, I will sink or confiscate them all - as long as we can do this, within two or three years, even if we can't finally defeat the Japanese directly, the Japanese themselves will collapse......"

"Captain Lu, you're laughing......"

When Jensen heard that his mouth was open enough to stuff a basket of duck eggs, he couldn't close it for a long time, and said in his heart, isn't this guy crazy? Actually let the empire take the lead in imposing economic sanctions on Japan, and then blockade the Pacific? Isn't that forcing the Empire to go to war with Japan?

"We, the United States of America, have always maintained a neutral attitude toward the war of various countries, and although we are extremely indignant at Japan's aggression against you, this is after all a war between you and Japan, and it is really difficult for us in the United States of America to intervene in ......."

Jensen continued, saying that no matter what benefits you come up with, if you want us Americans to help you Chinese fight the Japanese and help you bleed, it is simply a dream!

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's a question of whether the interests are big enough!"

Lu Yuan smiled: "So I said, I won't use penicillin to talk to you, this kind of benefit, your Mr. President can't look at it - the benefit I give is, Japan!" ”

"Huh?"

When Jensen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Commander Lu didn't mean to hand over Japan to us and make it a state of our United States of America, right?" I'm afraid you have a long way to go if you want to do this—you have to find a way to get the Japanese out of your land now, and that's the right thing to do! ”

"Japan will lose, whether you Americans make a move or not, I wonder if Mr. Jensen can see this?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Anyway, I can see it, many people can see it, Mr. Jensen, you are so smart, you must not fail to see it, now the Japanese seem to be bouncing happily on the land of my Chinese land, but in fact, they are simply stuck in the quagmire of this national war and can't pull out their legs - we may not be able to defeat the Japanese, but we can drag them to death, do you believe it?" ”

In Japan, the economy almost collapsed because of the war, a large number of soldiers died in China, the age of conscription in Japan has been lowered to 16 years old, the upper limit has been adjusted to 50 years old, and in Japan itself, except for soldiers and a very small number of men, almost only the old and weak women and children remain.

The economy may be able to barely support itself for a few years with their plan to feed the war with war, but if all the men are gone, what else can Japan use to fight?

Perhaps because of these, the purpose of Japan's current frenzied attack in China is no longer conquest, they want to do their best to force the Chiang government to negotiate peace, and want to get out of the quagmire of this war as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Chairman Chiang was coerced by the will of the people this time, and it was impossible to negotiate peace, so this war could only be fought unless one side was completely defeated.

In Japan, the final outcome can only be defeat.

Of course, Jensen knew that he was not an ambassador for nothing, and while liaising with the Chiang government, he was also responsible for intelligence gathering and other tasks.

He thought for a moment before saying, "Even if Japan is bound to lose, what does this have to do with me, the United States of America?" ”

"Interests, Mr. Jensen!"

Lu Yuan laughed and said: "Think about it, if we defeat the Japanese ourselves, then all the benefits can only belong to us, and you Americans won't get anything, right?" But if you do what I ask, Japanese
