Chapter 307: Let the US imperialists snatch the little devil's military purchase order
Cheng Gong did not fool Roosevelt this time, and clearly told Roosevelt that although this Changxing Island-class aircraft carrier looks very similar to the famous general-class aircraft carrier of the Donghua Royal Navy, it is not a general-class, but a foreign-trade aircraft carrier specially designed and manufactured by the Donghua Empire based on the famous general-class.
Since it is a foreign sale of products, there is only one principle, whoever has money will sell it to whom, and whoever pays first will take it first.
Cheng Gong also specially told Roosevelt a piece of information: Stalin bought a 016-class aircraft carrier from Donghua last time with a completion rate of nearly 60 percent, and for this reason, the Donghua Empire helped the Soviet Union establish a large shipbuilding joint-stock group company in the coastal area of the Far East in accordance with the agreement between the two sides.
Of course, Roosevelt could understand the inner meaning of Cheng Gong's words. As long as you Americans can afford to pay for them, you can take these two Changxing Island-class aircraft carriers that are nearly 75% complete, and the Donghua Empire will also send a team of experts to assist the United States in completing the follow-up project progress.
In addition, as long as the US Government can order 300 Qiang-5H1 "Haidongqing" carrier-based aircraft from the Donghua Empire, Donghua can package and transfer the entire set of technology of the Qiang-5H1 "Haidongqing" carrier-based jet fighter, including the advanced axial turbojet engine.
With Roosevelt's political sense, he took it for granted that Cheng Gong was very unhappy with the war against southwest China that Japan was planning, so he wanted to use the United States to attack Japan. Such a good thing, of course, Roosevelt would not refuse.
If we can get this Changxing Island-class inclined deck design heavy aircraft carrier of the Donghua Empire, as well as their jet carrier-based aircraft technology, the strength of the US Navy will undoubtedly achieve a qualitative leap!
In order to snatch the two national strategic-level military technologies of advanced aircraft carriers and advanced jet fighters from the Japanese, Roosevelt did not hesitate to temporarily adjust the duration of his visit to China, increasing the length of his visit from the original three days to five days.
The U.S. Navy also sent a special team of inspection consultants to cooperate with the engineering and technical team of the Newport News Shipbuilding Company to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Changxing Island-class aircraft carrier and the Qiang-5H1 "Haidongqing" jet carrier-based fighter.
The result, of course, made the U.S. Navy feel like it had been beaten with blood, and it was clamoring that the two aircraft carriers must be brought back to the United States. And claimed that if these two aircraft carriers were really acquired by the Japanese Navy, the US Navy would completely lose its strategic advantage in the Pacific region.
In particular, when we learned that the J-5 H1 "Haidongqing" jet carrier-based aircraft and the land-based J-5 L1 "Big Red Hawk" jet multi-function combat attack aircraft were available, the US Government's thirst for advanced jet fighters has reached an unprecedented level of urgency.
As early as when it was decided to regard the Changxing Island-class aircraft carrier and the Qiang-5 carrier-based aircraft as the fist products of foreign trade, Cheng Gong told the relevant departments that on the basis of the existing mature technology, the electronic system and power system should be properly castrated, and the back door must be reserved.
For example, the land-based "Big Red Eagle" and the carrier-based "Haidongqing" are two jet fighters, and the avionics mainly weakens the function of the airborne radar, and the power part weakens the technology of the turbojet Rokko into the original version of the turbojet six.
As for the "Sparrow" air-to-air missiles, they are all prohibited items for the time being, and it is enough to equip the "Big Red Eagle" and "Haidongqing" with aerial artillery, cellular rocket launchers, and aerial bombs.
But even so, the technical experts of the German, Japanese, and American delegations have been "stunted" and "hungry for death," and they all regard this jet fighter with close to the speed of sound as an invincible aerial killer.
Cheng expected that by early 1943, both the Allies and the Axis powers should be able to begin mass production of subsonic jets. At that time, the struggle for air supremacy between the two sides will certainly be more intense than in the era of piston fighters, and the consumption of war resources will inevitably be even greater.
The battle of a large group of jet fighters must be far more intense and spectacular than the dogfight of a large group of piston fighters.
With the basis of friendly cooperation, when Roosevelt talked to Cheng Gong about the problems between Donghua and Britain, Cheng Gong generously gave Roosevelt a face, claiming that the past would be turned over, and as long as Britain openly recognized the sovereignty of the existing territorial waters and airspace of the Great Donghua Empire, the Great Donghua Empire and the British Empire could become friends, and all the previous unpleasantness could be regarded as if it had not happened.
Roosevelt, of course, patted his chest and vouched his ballot, bluntly saying that as long as the Donghua Empire no longer plotted against the British colonies, Britain and France would recognize the international status of the Great Donghua Empire and its status as a neutral country as soon as possible.
After snatching the Maldives, Chagos Archipelago, Seychelles and Mauritius Islands in the Indian Ocean, Cheng Gong no longer had any desire or hope for foreign expansion. Now his mind is full of thinking about how to maintain the strategic bottom line of the Great Donghua Empire.
Judging from the current world pattern, as long as Donghua does not take the initiative to participate in the war, there should be no war in the Donghua Empire in the next five years. It's time to immerse yourself in farming, construction, and development, and just be the number one international arms dealer with peace of mind.
After Roosevelt's mediation, the contradictions between the Donghua Empire and Britain and France were eased, and Cheng Gong could no longer worry that Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Soviet Union and other world-class powers would join forces to deal with the Donghua Empire. The next step is to run the Paradise Island Cooperation Organization well, and there is every opportunity to turn the Paradise Island Cooperation Organization into the United Nations.
National interests are an eternal topic between countries.
In Donghua's foreign policy, Cheng Gong has always adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and has never worn any colored glasses. As a result, the Donghua Empire could move between the Allied and Axis camps, and it was able to move with ease.
Whether it is the European battlefield or the South Asian battlefield, Cheng Gong has never thought of intervening in the war at present. What Cheng Gong valued was that the European and South Asian battlefields would not be leveraged to enable them to develop in a direction favorable to the Donghua Empire.
As to whether Japan will really restart its war strategy against China, Cheng Gong also looks at it with the principle of listening to nature. After all, the affairs of Huaxia ultimately have to be decided by the two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China. As long as the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can continue to maintain the anti-Japanese united front and the two parties work together, Cheng Gong can ensure that the little devils will be bled on the iron plate of China.
Relying on the astronomical amount of materials needed throughout the Second World War, all the large and small enterprises of the Donghua Empire were able to take this fast economic train and enter the fast lane of rapid development. Relying on the comprehensive cost-effective advantages of Donghua enterprises in technology and quality, Cheng Gong is fully confident that the Donghua Empire will become the largest exporter of arms and military supplies.
The turmoil of the world war can not only stimulate the industrial development and economic growth of the Donghua Empire, but also bring a steady stream of outstanding immigrant talents to Donghua.
When the civil war also broke out in the United States, the whole world was only the Donghua Empire, a pure land and a happy land far away from war. At that time, both talent and capital will regard the Donghua Empire as their only choice.
