It's easy to talk to students on a case-by-case basis, but if you do some general debates on an air-to-air basis, you'll only get yourself into trouble. After half an hour of discussion, except for a few students who were unwilling to admit that the casualties of the 128 www.biquge.info th Japanese army were only 3,000, everyone else went back satisfied. At the end of the discussion, when the students asked Li Kongrong to give some advice to international students, Li Kongrong talked bitterly about aviation talents and engine talents.

There are many international students studying aeronautical engineering, many in the United States, many in Italy, and other countries. Everyone knows the importance of aviation, Wang Zhu, who graduated from the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 22 years ago, is China's first master of aeronautical engineering, but in the past 22 years, there has not been a bachelor's degree in aircraft engine manufacturing in China. Now there are more than a dozen or twenty aircraft designers in China, but there is no aircraft engine engineer, and now the navy wants to develop and produce a helicopter, but none of the international students can help, so they can only recruit foreigners in the United States......

Li Kongrong's exclamation made the hearts of the international students present heavy. They all stayed abroad in order to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and only in this way can they have a good future when they return to China, and it is really not worth going back to study a bachelor's degree in aero engines. However, this incident was just a complaint for Li Kongrong, but he did not expect that it was this complaint that caused heated discussions among Chinese students at MIT.

After sending the students away, the next step was to deal with the American reporters, and after briefly answering some questions raised by the reporters, Li Kongrong finally left the interview to Henry Luce, and as for Li Fu, his interview will be a great victory for Jinshanwei.

"Lee, why do you say that if there is a war between Germany and France, France will be defeated in forty days?" Henry Luce did not attend the welcome dinner last night, and in the morning he saw the overseas Chinese move, and only after inquiring did he learn what had happened last night. He arrived immediately, but he was still too late and was blocked at the door.

"Because the pattern of war has changed." Li Kongrong spoke eloquently, and he felt that if the topic were to be described in depth, it should be beneficial to his own weight in the hearts of the American bigwigs after the surrender of France in 1940. "In the last world war, the war was static, everyone fought around the trenches, but at the end of the war something changed, the tanks appeared, only because Germany collapsed so quickly that the tanks were decommissioned and dismantled before they could fully show their charm.

Germany is working to create a new type of army, that is, a mobile army that does not fight in the trenches like it did twenty years ago, but because France is the victor, they feel that the experience of the previous war is still useful, so they are still the same army that fights around the trenches and defensive lines, and if there is a war between the two countries, the French government will completely surrender in forty days. ”

"The French government surrenders ......" Henri Luce was taken aback, all he had heard before was the defeat of the French army, he thought it was a rout like the Battle of Songhu in China, but he didn't expect it to be the surrender of the government.

"Yes, as long as there is a substantial ** war between the two countries, the French will completely surrender to Germany in less than forty days." Li Kongrong affirmed, "The British army that supported the French will also flee back to the mainland in panic, and this is the change brought about by the tactical innovation, and the French army will not be able to withstand it for forty days." ”

Henry Luce was stunned and hurriedly recorded, in fact, this is not usually his business, he is the owner of Time magazine, but in order to get the big news first, he has to make a cameo in person. "If I'm not mistaken, Lee, you're talking about the Panzer Division, right?"

"It's not just armored divisions." Li Kongrong nodded and then added. "Previous wars are around the railway line, because compared with a few decades ago, the logistics materials needed for the operation are increasing, in the last war, artillery shells are the bulk of logistics transportation, and there is horse material, compared with the previous gun era, an army through its own logistics capabilities can sustain the combat time is decreasing, the army is confined to the railway, near the canal, this is a static army, it has four regiments in a division, but the next war army is by no means static, it does not have to move along the railway line canal, it is mobile, dexterous, It's also very ferocious.

In the same way that a wolf can tear apart a giraffe, such an army can move and fight in places that were previously considered immobile, they are no longer marching more than twenty kilometers a day, if necessary, it can advance more than a hundred kilometers in one night, it can march four hundred kilometers in three days, and then go into battle. War is no longer static, but dynamic. The wolf will attack the giraffe in an unexpected position and at an unexpected time, and it will kill with one blow. Even if a giraffe is several times the size of a wolf, as long as it bites off the giraffe's neck, it can only fall to the ground and convulse, so this is a comprehensive military tactical innovation. ”

Li Kongrong paused here when he said this, and waited for Luce to finish recording before he said again: "In the last time war, the U.S. Army was built on the template of the French Army, the French Army is outdated, they are vulnerable, if the U.S. Army does not reform, change their square division into a triangular division, and free the tank force from the shackles of cavalry and infantry, if it really encounters a war, the consequences will be exactly the same as the French Army, the only fortunate United States is in the American continent, she is safe for the time being." ”

"Oh God." Hearing Li Kongrong put the problem on the US Army, Luce was shocked again, he had already thought of the title of the article. "Lee, is this true?"

"Of course it's true, the current model of the U.S. Army was established in France by the great General Pershing, and it is exactly the same as the French Army, and its artillery units even use the metric system instead of the British system. Because of the end of the war and the Great Depression, the U.S. Army has not received the necessary funds to test new tactics and reform the new military system, and they are even using old tanks from 20 years ago, which is very terrible, and the only consolation is that the United States is surrounded by the sea on three sides and far from the mainland.

Pacifists, and 'America First', have always kept in mind the lessons of the last great war and do not want the United States to get involved in disputes in the Old Continent. In fact, this is in vain, the world is changing dramatically, if the old continent is allowed to sink, then the new world will sink, the world is an interrelated whole, burying one's head in the sand like an ostrich will only get a tragic fate, in terms of trade and supplies, the United States is not safe. ”

Lee Kongrong turned the subject again and began to evaluate the current prevailing isolationism, which was officially needed by Luce, and he took the record and said: "Lee, can you elaborate on why the United States is not safe? ”

"This is a matter of common sense, first of all, the United States needs to sell its own goods to alleviate the economy that has not fully recovered, and if it insists on implementing isolationist policies, the United States will lose these overseas markets and the economy will be even more sluggish; Second, the United States is a big country, and although it has countless minerals, there are some minerals that it does not have, and it must buy them from the outside world. For example, the most common rubber. Most of this rubber comes from the South Seas region of Asia, and if the United States allows the situation in Asia to allow Japan to invade China and the South Seas, the American auto industry will stop working because of the lack of tires.

Another example is that the South Seas and China are rich in tin ore, which the United States does not have, and if Washington insists on implementing an isolationist policy, the result is that the American industry lacks tin, which is a very important metal, without which the tube will not be able to be soldered; Another example is diamond, which is also not produced in the United States, but it is an important abrasive and processing tool in industry.

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of modern industry should know that even if the United States can afford the consequences of shrinking trade, it cannot afford to lose industrial raw materials. The loss of industrial raw materials has resulted in the inability of the United States to produce airplanes, because the production of airplanes requires aluminum, and most of the bauxite in the United States is imported from abroad; The United States also cannot produce cannons, and chromium is needed to produce cannons, which also need to be imported; It is not even possible to produce military steel, and some of the added metals in military steel need to be imported; Generators, electric motors could not be produced because of the lack of cobalt, and cobalt had to be imported, although in small quantities. Suffice it to say, then the American army will not be able to fight because the soldiers will not have weapons, or there will not be enough weapons.

Of course, I never underestimated the determination of the American people to pursue freedom and independence, but the development of technology to this day is long ago not the era when the colonists could be defeated with shotguns and black powder. If the United States continues to isolate itself and no longer obtains these vital overseas raw materials, then the servant armies of the invaders opposite her, such as the Chinese army armed by the Japanese, will eventually have to surrender. ”

After letting out the alarmist words, Li Kongrong rested satisfied. He had to plant the seeds in the hearts of the Americans and wait for the seeds to sprout. Luce was also satisfied, and in the more than two hours of the interview, he had enough evidence to ridicule Washington and isolationism, and he believed that this issue of Time magazine would be a sensation.

"You've got a lot going on!" After sending Luce away, Zhou Yingcong came. He is now completely living in the light of Li Kongrong, and he makes him feel very uncomfortable with his high self-esteem

"No way!" Li Kongrong's voice was already a little hoarse, "I just have to keep talking, keep talking, let the Americans remember me, and then our plan can be implemented." ”

Of course, Zhou Yingcong knew that Li Kongrong had to keep talking, persuading others, and causing influence, and only in this way could the naval reconstruction plan go smoothly. "Brother Xiang Xin asked when we were leaving for San Francisco?" He asked, holding a telegram from California from Mr. Lin.

"It may not be until next week." Li Kongrong thought for a moment before saying. "I have five more people to visit in New York, and then Washington has to visit Ambassador Wang, and I have to go to Florida once, and then I have to go to San Francisco, you can go first."

"Five?" Zhou Yingcong is not very clear about Li Kongrong's itinerary.

"Yes, Mr. Situ should always go and have a look, and Mr. Gu Lin." "There's also a friend from my German friend who wants to meet me, then I want to meet a Russian, and finally I have to go to MIT." Li Kongrong said the itinerary, and asked Zhong Qiangong again, "Is the schedule arranged?" What do we do at night? ”

"Sir, according to the schedule, Mr. Stern will come at three o'clock, and Mr. Gu Lin will visit him in the evening." Zhong Qiangong said. As soon as he said Mr. Stern, there was a knock on the door outside, and Li Kongrong had a hunch that it might be Stern, and after opening the door, it was a Jew in his forties, who was wearing a small round hat, with darker skin and a thick beard, and he took off his hat when he came in.

"Hello, Mister Lee." Stern said, he was introduced by the German Schwarz.

"I need some help, Mr. Stern." Li Kongrong bluntly said, "Of course, this will be paid." ”

"I'm more than happy to help." Stern spoke English with a German accent, "Please command." ”

"I need a very good business lawyer," Li Kongrong detailed, "I will be mainly responsible for the business of foreign companies in the United States, commercial mergers and acquisitions, asset valuation, patent purchases, IPO financing, etc." This is most likely not a person, and it is estimated that a law firm will be needed. ”

"Yes, sir. I will find you the best business lawyers. Stern took a careful note and nodded.

"It has to be reliable." Li Kongrong emphasized. After talking about the lawyer, he added: "I also need investment brokers, they must be the best, and they must also be reliable." He needs to have a good understanding of the Wall Street securities market. ”

"Of course, it must be the best!" Stern carefully noted it down again, nodding.

"That's all there is to it. I hope to have your help. After thinking about it, Li Kongrong had to turn to the Jews for legal and investment brokerage. There are either no or no great talents among the Chinese, and these are the strengths of the Jews.

"Mister Lee, when will you need them?" Stern had the consciousness to repay the favor, after all, the Chinese embassy in Berlin had begun to secretly issue visas to Jews, although the number was not too many, but it was still a trend.

"Can you give me a shortlist first, I need to know a little bit about their resumes." Li Kongrong said.

"Of course, I think I can get them to see you tomorrow." Stern said enthusiastically.

"It's fine. If they really are the best. Li Kongrong saw that Stern took the initiative, so he temporarily believed that he could help him find the best candidate.

The Jews soon left, and Zhou Yingcong, who was watching from the sidelines, said, "What are you looking for a lawyer and an agent for?" You're not going to trade stocks in the U.S., are you? ”

"Of course I want to speculate in stocks, not only in stocks, but also in listing!" Li Kongrong was full of confidence, and after the penicillin was extinguished, he secretly scolded himself for having no ambition. There are many ways to make money, one is to make money by speculating in the stock market through the war information he has mastered, and the other is to build a giant hodgepodge company through cross-industry mergers and acquisitions, and then package it with a new concept and take advantage of the war to go public to make money, he does not believe that he will not make more than 40 million US dollars.

"You're crazy about money." Zhou Yingcong didn't know Li Kongrong's plan and sighed. (To be continued.) )
