Although Secretary of State Hull didn't see the stack of papers, in his heart, he obviously didn't think so, you know, the two divisions of US military equipment, that is a very large amount, not to mention anything else, the matching bullets alone need more than a dozen trucks to load.

''Oh, Mr. President, maybe you haven't realized what this invention means, but I swear in the name of a scientist that this invention is incalculably valuable, not to mention two divisions, or twenty divisions, or a hundred divisions. Neumann said solemnly.

''Oh my God, Mr. Neumann, are you kidding?'' Roosevelt and Hull were taken aback, looked at each other in amazement, and said in disbelief.

''Dear Mr. President, Mr. Hull, do you think I'm joking?'' I'm an American citizen, do you think I'm going to joke with the head of state of the United States of America for a Chinese?'' Neumann said solemnly.

Roosevelt did not smile again, but looked at Neumann with a wise and sharp gaze, as if he wanted to see through his inner world, and began to seriously examine the problem in his heart. Although he did not have a deep friendship with Neumann, he knew Neumann's achievements and character, and he gave such a high evaluation to these broken papers from the perspective of a scientist, so he must not have made something out of nothing, so he might as well listen to his opinion.

''Well, Mr. Neumann, that sounds like a good thing, and since you think these papers are so important, I wonder how great it is, and you'll explain it to me, won't?' Roosevelt said seriously.

''Oh, of course, my dear Mr. President, in simple terms, its role can be compared with Mr. Watt's invention of the steam engine, Mr. Watt's steam engine triggered the first industrial revolution, and the Chinese's invention can greatly promote social change, the core of this invention is efficiency, it can be applied to the military, industry, commerce and even all walks of life, it can greatly improve our efficiency, a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand times, and it can also provide simple and convenient services, What now seems to us to be very complicated and cumbersome, and it takes top scientists to perform calculations, after this invention, an ordinary person can easily complete it. Neumann's eyebrows fluttered and he gushed.

President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull opened their mouths wider and wider to the point that they could fit two eggs, and they were already shocked.

''Mr. Neumann, are you telling the truth?'' Does this invention really have such a big effect? Roosevelt asked in surprise.

''Yes, Mr. President, I swear in my own name and in the honor of a scientist that it does more than that, there are many functions that I have not yet been able to describe. Neumann said in an unquestioning tone.

''Oh, Mr. Neumann, I'm starting to think it's a great invention now, but I think it's still a great cost and a lot of risk to trade two divisions of U.S. military equipment for such an unproven invention. Roosevelt groaned.

''Mr. President, with this technology, we can firmly sit on the throne of the world's number one power, and even leave the British far behind, in my opinion, even the risk is worth it, not to mention that our price is only two divisions of American equipment. Once again, Neumann threw out the tempting cake and tried desperately to get the deal done.

''The number one power in the world. Roosevelt muttered to himself, his eyes glowing with frenzy, and then he thought of something, and his eyes dimmed again.

''Oh, dear Mr. Neumann, you have given us a very attractive prospect, and I personally would like to take your word for it, but you know that there are many factors involved in this deal, and although I am the president of the United States, I am not alone in the final say, and there are those difficult guys in the Senate and the House of Representatives, who are not easy to deal with, first of all, they have to evaluate the invention and prove that it is indeed worth two divisions of American military equipment, and whether it is in the national interest of the United States, because we are likely to offend the Japanese in this way, will cause tension between the United States and Japan, and then those guys will discuss the feasibility of specific operations, if I guess correctly, the Chinese should ask for payment, that is, we will also be responsible for sending two divisions of US military equipment to them, am I right? This is also a big problem. Roosevelt said solemnly.

Roosevelt said this, which means that he has basically been persuaded by himself, Neumann breathed a sigh of relief, but Roosevelt said that the Senate and the House of Representatives would evaluate the invention, but Neumann frowned, not everyone can realize the significance of this invention like himself, he can be sure that without him, the deal is basically over.

''May I ask Mr. President, may I participate in the evaluation of this invention?'' Neumann asked nervously.

Of course, with your prestige in academia, you will be the lead expert advisor, and I can do that. Roosevelt's eyes flashed with a sly glint and he said affirmatively.

''That's great, I hope so.'' Neumann was overjoyed, nodded and said.

''Mr. Neumann, I have a very important question, who is this Chinese who wants to do business with us? Was he a member of the Kuomintang or the Communist Party? Secretary of State Hull, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

''Yes, Mr. Neumann, this is an important issue, and it can also affect the success or failure of the transaction. Roosevelt chimed in.

''Neither, they're a civilian armed force in China. Neumann said truthfully.

‘’what?‘’ Roosevelt and Helton were taken aback, looked at each other in surprise, looked at each other, and both felt headaches.

''What's wrong?'' Is there something wrong?'' Neumann said suspiciously.

''Oh, nothing, the Chinese have just given us another problem. Roosevelt smiled wryly. This also involves the issue of US policy and interests in China, and with two divisions of US military equipment, then this civilian armed force is already not to be underestimated, and this in itself has already broken the original balance.

''That's your problem. ''Neumann said in his heart, but said in his mouth; ''Mr. President, when will this assessment begin?''

''Oh, Mr. Neumann seems to be in a hurry?'' I'll get the bill forward as soon as possible, and I'll let you know when the time comes. Roosevelt said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Mr. President, I just can't wait to see the miracle happen, so I'm a little impatient, please forgive me. Neumann smiled and said embarrassedly.

''Oh, that's okay, in fact I want to see a miracle happen, like you, then, Mr. Neumann, how about we go to the ballroom for a drink?'' Roosevelt laughed.

''Thanks, no, my Chinese friends are still waiting for me outside, and if Mr. President is fine, I think it's time for me to leave.'' Neumann rejected Roosevelt's kindness and took his leave.

After Neumann left, Roosevelt was lost in thought, thinking about how it would be more appropriate to do this.

''Mr. President, how sure do you think we're going to be able to convince those guys in the Senate and the House of Representatives?'' Hull asked.

''100 percent, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get this deal done.'' Roosevelt's body suddenly released a self-confidence, his eyes were imposing, and he said word by word. (To be continued.) )
