Zhang Pengchun did not delve into Li Kongrong's suggestion that there will be great changes in Europe next September, he wanted to make a movie. In fact www.biquge.info, there are only a few missionaries and journalists in this "United States does not participate in the Japanese Aggression Committee," and there is no doubt about the power of the Church in the United States, and it involves the public opinion of the United States, but the public opinion of the United States can be controlled. For the time being, the only thing the chairman can do is to provide moral assistance to China by publicizing the embargo on military supplies against Japan. The work of the former has already achieved certain results, and the latter is planning the 'One Bowl of Rice' campaign with the American Medical Aid Association of the United States and the San Francisco Overseas Chinese Association.

Although the 'One Bowl of Rice' movement has surpassed the overseas Chinese themselves, and many American people have also participated in it and spread it to all parts of the United States and even all over the world, Li Kongrong still doesn't like this kind of movement very much, and he feels that the Chinese are begging from the Americans in pity, and how to repay this favor in the future is really a problem. Of course, he can not pay it back, but this is not his style of life, he is used to equal exchange, or violent robbery, both of which have to pay real costs, so begging Americans to give him a 'bowl of rice', it is really ......

It was for this reason that he wanted to issue naval bonds, through which he could conduct a naval war in the Pacific without relying on Lend-Lease, and the result would be that the fleet was completely in his hands, and he did not have to listen to Nimitz or any other American. The Chinese Navy and the U.S. Navy are allies, not mere subordinates. When we land in Japan, everyone will grab the spoils, technology, equipment, talent, hard currency, and turf、......, these are all priceless treasures.

Even if the Americans cut off the arms sales channels by then, he will be able to survive for a short time on the materials stored in advance. Except for the turf and large equipment that is difficult to move, everything else can be looted in a matter of days. When the diplomatic mediation is over, even if you want to withdraw from the territory, it is impossible to spit out some things. If Japan does, Germany can also find a way to get a handful of technical information, such as V2 missiles, jet engines, and other worthwhile things that can be transported by helicopter at the same time, depending on whether the Swiss military will acquiesce to this vote.

After thinking about the beautiful victory time for a while, Li Kongrong roughly summed up the current situation: The situation in the United States is better than he imagined, but fortunately, the propaganda work on the American side has been fully launched, and the person in charge is actually Zhang Boling's younger brother. And there are even bigger figures in this 'United States does not participate in the Japanese Aggression Committee', which gives him full room to operate - it turns out that he is preparing to pass the line of the German Jewish Order, and the strength of German Jews in the United States cannot be underestimated, and many of them are Jews in the financial, legal, and literary circles, although they are not sure how much support they will give themselves, but these people can still help a lot. And now, the two lines of 'the United States does not participate in the Japanese Aggression Committee' and the Jews may be manipulated at the same time.

"Is Brother Hansheng going to the United States this time to issue naval bonds?" Zhang Pengchun thought about Li Kongrong's idea of making a movie just now, and began to ask Li Kongrong about his plans in the United States.

"No, it's not. The brother came to the bond this time just to do the preparatory work. Li Kongrong thinks of money when he talks about bonds, and he can't wait to go to Florida when he thinks of money, Qiu Zhongming has been there for a month or two, and he also feels that he seems to be able to determine the specific location of the shipwreck on a map of 1/50,000.

"The matter of naval bonds is very involved, and it depends on the intention of the government, and according to the neutrality bill, the United States prohibits belligerents from issuing bonds in their own financial markets, and if they really want to issue them, they need to circumvent relevant laws, and then they need to have the support of banks......

"This, can't the Bank of China?" Zhang Pengchun remembered Wang Zhengxu, which was mentioned during the meeting.

"The Bank of China can't do it, what if the government embezzles the money?" Li Kongrong shook his head and said. "Among the three armed forces, the navy is the most neglected, but to put it mildly, the air force should be the most neglected among the three armed forces. Brother, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the money to rebuild the navy will be used by the government to buy planes. ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Pengchun nodded with a smile, he felt that with the importance of the national government to the Air Force, it was entirely possible for Li Kongrong to say it.

"Brother is actually here to ......" Li Kongrong originally wanted to talk about the aircraft carrier, but he was afraid that it would be troublesome to explain, so he had to change his words: "...... It was for the formation of naval aviation. There are two important parts to this: one is the establishment of a large, systematic naval aviation school in the United States; the second is to find American aircraft manufacturers to develop corresponding naval carrier-based aircraft; Finally, there is the preparation for the issuance of naval bonds, and then how to find a way to make money in the United States through industry or speculation. ”

Li Kongrong briefly summarized the purpose of his trip to the United States into four things, but Zhang Pengchun did not pursue the latter two things, he only asked differently: "Didn't Hansheng say that he wanted to build submarines, why did he buy planes again?" ”

"This ......," Li Kongrong sneered, "Japanese spies are everywhere, and my brother has to say this for the sake of secrecy." In order to preserve the sea lanes of our country, submarines may be able to, but aircraft carriers are more effective. A submarine can only control a few tens of nautical miles, but an aircraft carrier can control a few hundred nautical miles.

Brother Peng Chun, Guangzhou is likely to be lost by the end of this year, and if we lose Guangzhou, our supplies will have to enter from Annam and Burma. As I have also said, war clouds are gathering in Europe, and Germany will attack Britain and France once it goes to war, and Japan and Germany have close relations, and the whole of the South Seas may not be protected at that time. The center of gravity of Britain and France is Europe, and if the colonies in the Far East are lost, they will be lost, and they will come back after the war, but don't we want wartime passages? Once Nanyang was occupied by the Japanese army, the ordnance and ammunition could not be imported. Jun Ke is about to go into battle bare-handed. Therefore, the navy must build an aircraft carrier fleet before then, so that this fleet can delay or simply prevent the Japanese from occupying Burma and secure the country. Importation of ordnance and ammunition ......"

If it weren't for Li Kongrong's analysis and exposition of world hegemony before, Zhang Pengchun would not believe his current deduction and prediction of the war situation, even so, he still said: "Brother Hansheng, but you are ...... The rebuilt fleet of the Navy can ......"

"Can you stop the Japanese?" Li Kongrong looked at him with a smile.

"yes. The Japanese Navy is the third largest navy in the world. Zhang Pengchun said confusedly.

"Brother Peng Chun, the Battle of Jiangyin proved that the development trend of the Navy is that aircraft carriers can already replace battleships." Li Kongrong said. "Now Japan has only six aircraft carriers, four large, two small, and two more are under construction. If the Navy can have two or three aircraft carriers, then we can still fight in one battle.

The Japanese will first attack the United States before attacking the South Seas, and the current situation of the US Navy is that there is a lack of carrier-based aircraft that can suppress Japan, and if our rebuilt navy is exhausted again, then the United States will also benefit from this, and they will have carrier-based aircraft that can suppress Japan as soon as the war starts, and the sooner the US Navy hits Tokyo, the sooner the War of Resistance will end. ”

Li Kongrong roughly explained, and when he saw that Zhang Pengchun was still puzzled, he smiled again: "Brother Peng Chun, the development trend of the Navy is aircraft carriers. Only a decisive battle on the surface of the sea can gain sea power, and no matter how well you do things under the sea, you will lose sea supremacy like the German navy in the last war.

Brother, what I need is connections first, and that's the most important thing. The Navy wants to set up industries in the United States, invest in trade, bid for carrier-based aircraft, expand the Overseas Chinese Aviation School, and issue bonds, all of which require the support of local connections. In addition, when the naval bonds come out in the future, I hope that Brother Peng Chun can use the channels of the committee to publicize the issuance, no matter how enthusiastic the overseas Chinese are, there are only 100,000 people, and the bonds they can underwrite are very limited......"

After properly explaining to Zhang Pengchun, he left, and when he left, he told Li Kongrong to remember the welcome dinner at eight o'clock. After he left, Li Kongrong once again sorted out what he wanted to do in the United States and what help he needed. In fact, what he needs most is the support of the leading figures, so that he will not be eaten. If Gu Lin, chairman of the 'United States does not participate in the Japanese Aggression Committee,' is as good as Zhang Pengchun said, this matter will be resolved. The next is just the specific issues, such as aircraft and pilots, shipyards and aircraft carrier modifications, industrial issues, and bond issuance.

These can be handed over to the specific person in charge for management: if Chen Wenlin is qualified, the carrier-based aircraft can be handed over to Chen Wenlin; The shipyard and aircraft carrier refit depends on Ma Deji, the director of the Jiangnan Shipyard from China; The industrial problem was handed over to Zhi Bingyuan, the defense of Xinzhong, which should also be withdrawn after the loss of Wuhan, and there is no problem of insufficient manpower; Yes, not only bond issuance, but also short-term financial speculation by using the war information in their possession can also make a lot of money, and industrial speculation can also be classified in the financial sector, so it is necessary to have a team that is proficient in finance and industrial investment to serve itself.

Aircraft, aircraft carriers, industry, bonds, speculation, and finally lobbying for the United States, a total of six jobs. The shelves responsible for these six pieces of work must be completely erected during this trip to the United States, and then the shipwreck excavation must be completely followed. Only by entering enough funds can these tasks be completed smoothly, and finally the proceeds of the penicillin project and the naval bond project with many risks can be connected to the capital chain of the sunken ship, and the whole game of chess can be lived.

It's just that speculative talents are hard to find! After planning on paper for a long time, Li Kongrong finally felt that in addition to having a leading figure in the United States who endorsed and supported him, he also lacked financial talents. Jews do have a lot of bankers on Wall Street, but can Jews believe it? The Chinese are more reliable, but do the Chinese have investment brokers who are proficient in the U.S. securities market?

In the evening, the welcome reception was held at the Chinese Theater in New York's Chinatown, which is at the southern end of Manhattan in Downtown. At night, New York City is full of rainbow lights and traffic, but when you get to Chinatown, it's a different scene: there are no skyscrapers, only cornices and green tiles. At the entrance of the Chinese theater, where the reception was held, stood a pair of stone lions, and an unrecognizable cursive couplet hung on the door, and two rows of red lanterns on top. When Li Kongrong and Zhou Yingcong got off the bus, the overseas Chinese who stood outside the gate to greet them applauded together.

In the fierce applause, Li Kongrong found that there was an extra bearded man among the people who greeted him, he shook hands with Li Kongrong with some cough, and looked at Situ Binghe beside him, Li Kongrong guessed that this person was Situ Meitang. In addition to Situ Meitang, another figure also caught his attention, that is, Dr. Xu Zhaodui, president of the American Medical Aid Association, who is in his forties, with a Hokkien accent as soon as he speaks, his ancestral home is Jinjiang, Fujian, he was born in the Philippines, and has been in the United States since then. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he organized and initiated the establishment of the American Medical Aid China Association, and is now planning the 'One Bowl of Rice' movement with Zhang Pengchun and others.

After a brief introduction, Li Kongrong and others entered the room accompanied by Consul General Yu Yanji and Paul Lin. Although you are in New York, the welcome reception of the Chinese community is actually a welcome dinner, and eating is always the theme of the Chinese, and half of the shops in this Chinatown are restaurants. This made Li Kongrong temporarily put aside the worry of giving a speech -- he didn't like to talk too much with people endlessly, but at the moment, in order to open up the situation in the United States, he had to talk to some people, after all, the specific affairs he wanted to involve in the United States were very limited, and he had to rely on some people present and some people in the United States to complete his plan.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, as the landlord, Paul Lin ran to the stage in the lobby of the theater with a wine glass and began to speak, and after the scene was lively, he loudly invited Li Kongrong and Zhou Yingcong to the stage. The lights in the theater were bright, and nearly 1,000 overseas Chinese were welcomed, and when Li Kongrong and the two took the stage, applause rang out like thunder.

According to the previous discussion between Li Kongrong and Zhou Yingcong, this time he was the one who spoke, but after he finished his polite remarks, the overseas Chinese below still wanted Li Kongrong to speak. Li Kongrong didn't know what to say at this time, and he was afraid that he would overdo some things and leak secrets, so this time the speech finally turned into a response, and the overseas Chinese who stood up seemed to be unable to distinguish between the navy and the army. The army can't beat the Japanese?

That's really not an easy question to answer. Under the gaze of nearly a thousand pairs of eyes, Li Kongrong slowed down for a moment before saying: "I heard that there are many compatriots who open laundries in New York. Why the army can't beat the Japanese boy and the laundry novice can't do the laundry veteran is the same reason.

Another difference between fighting a war and washing clothes is that the technology of fighting a war has become very fast, and the new washing method of washing clothes has become slower. Country. The army is not unable to fight, the country. The army does not understand the latest laundry method, and there are few new washing machines. The soldiers are less afraid of death than the Japanese boy, and many soldiers die with the Japanese with grenades; When fighting at night, you can't tell whether it is an enemy or a friend, everyone can only touch it with your hands, and if you don't touch it right, you will stab it with a knife, many times you touch the Japanese boy, and the Japanese boy also touches you, it depends on who starts fast, but no matter how fast you start, you will be injured, and on the domestic battlefield, being injured and seriously injured is equal to waiting for death.

I can tell you very solemnly: I am a very good friend of Lieutenant General Du Yuming, deputy commander of the 88th Armored Corps and commander of the 200th Division in command of the great victory of Lanfeng......

Li Kongrong said that his relationship with Du Yuming was just to prove that he was committed to the country. The soldier's description is not fiction, and before he finished speaking, the theater suddenly burst into violent applause, and everyone stood up, they really didn't have such a close relationship between Li Kongrong and Lieutenant General Du Yuming, who won a great victory in Lanzhou and annihilated more than 60,000 Japanese troops, and participated in the formation of the 88th Armored Army.

Li Kongrong waited for the applause to stop before waving his hand to signal everyone to stop, but the applause couldn't stop. Everyone present couldn't believe that this was true, but when the words actually came out of Li Kongrong's mouth, it must be true.

Finally, after a long time, the somewhat frantic crowd stopped, and Li Kongrong continued: "...... From the beginning of the Battle of Songhu, Brother Guangting kept sending me telegrams and letters, although he only discussed armored tactics in telegrams and letters, but he still mentioned battle summaries, soldiers' morale, and so on. He said that although the armored division was being formed during the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, it was still the armored regiment that went into battle, and he said that none of the soldiers in the armored regiment were of a bad breed, and he also said that the soldiers of other units were also good. It's true that there are some scum who have escaped, but this is really only a minority.

To put it very seriously, Japan has a strict household registration system, who can be a soldier and who can't be a soldier Japanese reserve agencies have long been recorded, who went to the front line and who did not go to the front line are also recorded, Jun Cao, that is, squad leaders, platoon commanders, company commanders, many will record the combat process of their troops that day. This is not the case at all in the army, who is from whose family is only known to the same village, and many people go to the battlefield without even leaving their names.

What difference does this make? This will ...... If the Japanese ran away, the army and the government immediately knew what the people from that county, township, and village ran away, whether they arrested someone or reprimanded his parents so that his parents could not hold their heads up in front of their fellow villagers, anyway, the results were immediate, so the Japanese soldiers rarely ran away; Country. As for the army, he didn't even remember his name, and he didn't know what it was called when he ran away, as long as he didn't bring a gun with him, he would be beaten at most.

Let's imagine if Japan did not have a strict household registration system and military service system, would Japan run away from the war? Definitely run when you lose. What is for the emperor's jade shattering, it sounds good, in fact, when the Japanese boy died, they were all reluctant, they had to die, die for the sake of death, and once they died, the Japanese boy who threw himself into the sea and rushed into the artillery fire, isn't it all like this? Look at the country in reverse. Army, when the deserters are beaten at most, and the enemy is bombarded indiscriminately by planes and artillery, so that only a very small number of escapes, and they are already very worthy of this military uniform......"
