Chapter 482: Devils are alert
"Deputy commander-in-chief, at this time, with the approval of His Excellency the President, the Congress has agreed to your proposal and is ready to sell the two integrated aircraft carrier fleets to Huaxia, and send special personnel to train Huaxia."
Maher was very happy to receive a call back from China, and found Chen Jinghui early the next morning, and couldn't wait to tell him the news, hoping to sign this mutual arms sales agreement with him as soon as possible.
"Hehe, it seems that you still have smart people, since you have agreed to my proposal, I don't know what the equipment of your fleet looks like and what the price is." Chen Jinghui asked.
"By our American standards, each aircraft carrier fleet includes one aircraft carrier, two cruisers, six frigates, and eight destroyers. The external price of each aircraft carrier fleet is $120 million. That's your 120 million RMB. Maher said.
"Very good, not very expensive. Before, the arms sales order between us was 192.5 million yuan, plus those medicines and other things, it was almost 250 million. In view of the fact that you send professionals to come for training, I can't let them be instructors for nothing, and you don't have to pay the extra 100 million, just as their training expenses. However, I hope that you will be able to place your order as soon as possible and try to deliver it by September. Chen Jinghui said.
"There is no problem with this, we will deliver these two aircraft carrier fleets as soon as possible, and the deputy commander can rest assured. We Americans do business with a lot of credibility," Maher said.
"Okay, then ask General Maher to draw up the arms sales contract as soon as possible, and we will also prepare the arms sales contract here, and we will sign it together." Chen Jinghui said.
"Very good, I wish us a happy cooperation." Maher stood up and held out his hand.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Chen Jinghui also stood up and shook hands with Maher.
In the afternoon, both sides took out the arms sales contracts that had been drawn up, and after checking that there were no problems with each other, they began to sign the agreement.
"General Maher, rest assured, as long as your army is in India, I will immediately transport weapons and equipment from our northwest border." After signing the agreement, Chen Jinghui said.
"Thank you, our side will also build it as soon as possible, and try to deliver the aircraft carrier fleet to you as soon as possible." Maher said.
After the agreement was signed, why did the two celebrate the success of the cooperation, they had dinner together, and then went back to arrange.
A month later, in June, the United States actually delivered two aircraft carrier fleets to Chen Jinghui ahead of schedule, and Chen Jinghui was very surprised when he arrived, and he did not know how the United States did it.
In fact, what Chen Jinghui didn't know was that the United States had already started the construction of these two aircraft carrier fleets, and they were originally going to be delivered to the US Navy. However, due to Chen Jinghui's sudden order and request for delivery as soon as possible, the US government decided to deliver the two fleets that were almost completed directly to Huaxia, and then they slowly built a new aircraft carrier fleet to supply themselves. Because they have a new development in the construction of aircraft carriers, and Chen Jinghui's order just provides them with funds for the construction of a new type of aircraft carrier, so for them, there is no loss at all in the early delivery.
At the same time as the delivery of the aircraft carrier fleet, four more US aircraft carrier fleets in service appeared in the Indian Ocean. Of course, their whereabouts are hidden. But even so, the devil still noticed something.
"Your Majesty, our trade with the United States has been a little strange these days." Hideki Tojo said.
"Tojo-kun, what's wrong with our deal with the United States?" Emperor Akihito asked.
"Your Majesty, in the past month or so, our trade volume with the United States has begun to decline, and we have also found that the Americans are slowly becoming a little reluctant to do business with us." Hideki Tojo said.
"Nani, they don't want to do business with us, don't they want to make money even if they have it." Emperor Akihito asked in surprise.
"Your Majesty, not all trade has stagnated, mainly the trade of some military supplies, and the two sides are beginning to have great differences. For example, the price of necessary military materials such as copper and steel has begun to be raised by the Americans, which is close to the level that we cannot accept. Hideki Tojo said.
"Nani, are they crazy to be poor and take us for fools." Emperor Akihito said with waiting eyes.
"Your Majesty, in fact, it is not only the business between us and the United States that has gone wrong, but also something that has gone wrong in other aspects." Hideki Tojo said.
"Tojo-kun, you have told everything about your friend." Emperor Akihito said.
"Hai, Your Majesty should know that almost a month and a half ago, I thought you reported on the war situation in Southeast Asia, and one of them was that the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces sent by Huaxia to Southeast Asia suddenly disappeared overnight, and there is no whereabouts so far." Hideki Tojo said.
"I know about this matter, and because of this, we judged that the Chinese expeditionary force might play tricks on us, so our strategy in Southeast Asia was also adjusted, and the offensive against North India was not particularly large." Emperor Akihito said.
"Your Majesty, this is the strange place. If they play tricks, so long has passed, why haven't they shown up yet. Now the British in North India are about to be unable to support it, why is the Chinese expeditionary force still not moving at all. The question of where exactly they went has been bothering us for fear that they will suddenly appear behind our backs. Hideki Tojo said.
"Yo Sai, what Tojo-kun said makes a lot of sense. But it's been more than a month, and even if they have any actions, they should be revealed, and let the troops in Southeast Asia be careful these days to prevent the Chinese Expeditionary Force from sneaking up behind. Emperor Akihito said.
"Hay, I'll take care of our troops in Southeast Asia." Hideki Tojo said.
"Your Majesty, Tojo-kun, something big has happened." At this time, Shi Nei Shouyi suddenly came in.
"Shi Nei-kun, what is it that makes you so alarmed." Emperor Akihito asked.
"Shi Neijun, what are you holding in your hand?" Hideki Tojo asked.
"Your Majesty, Tojo-kun, this is the news that Huaxia has just sent back. According to the reconnaissance we had in secret talks in Huaxia, the United States just delivered two reorganized aircraft carrier fleets to Huaxia yesterday and sent instructors to Huaxia to train the Huaxia Navy. Shinei Shouichi said.
"Nani, two integrated aircraft carrier fleets." Emperor Akihito and Hideki Tojo asked in unison in surprise.
"Hay, that's what the intelligence says. In addition, Huaxia salvaged the two aircraft carriers that sank us in the previous battle of Shanghai and dragged them back to the port of Shanghai, and they have been repaired. So they already have four aircraft carriers. Shinei Shouichi said.
"Yaga, damn Americans, what are they doing." Emperor Akihito scolded loudly.
"I kind of understand why the trade between the Americans and us has decreased, and the problem is here." Hideki Tojo suddenly woke up.
"Tojo-kun, what do you mean, what do you understand." Emperor Akihito asked.
"Your Majesty, just now we were still discussing how difficult it is for us to trade with the United States. In fact, it is not difficult to do, but the Americans are deliberately making things difficult for us. Because they have found a new trading country, that is Huaxia. Huaxia must have given the United States a large trade order, which caused problems with our imports. Hideki Tojo said.
"Nani, it's Huaxia again. Damn the Shina people, you should send a navy over to destroy them. Emperor Akihito said angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry, in fact, the Americans have been secretly supporting Huaxia before, and we know this. But even so, they still do business with us, and they are not affected at all. Now that they have suddenly changed their position, there must be no other reason than the increase in trade with Huaxia. Hideki Tojo said.
"Tojo-kun, what do you know?" Emperor Akihito asked.
"Your Majesty, now I don't know what the specific reason is, but the increase in trade between China and the United States is definitely not the main reason, I can be sure of that." Hideki Tojo said.
"Yo Sai, Tojo-kun, or your quick thinking, when you say that, I also think there is something wrong with this. In this way, this matter will be handed over to you, and it will be found out as soon as possible. Emperor Akihito said.
"Hay, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will find out as soon as possible why these are." Hideki Tojo said.
"Yo Xi, Shi Nei-kun, you also assisted Tojo-kun to participate in the investigation of this matter, please two of you." Emperor Akihito said.
"Hail"
Hideki Tojo and Shinetoshi bowed, and Emperor Akihito got up and left the main hall and returned to the harem of the Imperial Palace.
"Shi Neijun, immediately contact our secret agents in Huaxia, and let them find out the situation of the expeditionary force in Huaxia as soon as possible. Also, let them pay attention to the deputy commander of Huaxia, I suspect that he has made all these things up recently. Hideki Tojo said.
"Don't worry, Tojo-kun, I'll go and set it up. But I think all this seems to be aimed at our troops in Southeast Asia, should I remind them. Shinei Shouichi said.
"Yo Xi, or Shi Neijun has the foresight, inform them to pay attention to the waters around Southeast Asia and the border with China, don't have any forks." Hideki Tojo said.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Shinei Shouichi left the palace, and Hideki Tojo did continue to stand inside the main hall, his eyes narrowed into a slit looking in the direction of Southeast Asia. His mind was now full of the information just now, coupled with Shi Neishouyi's reminder just now, he had a very bad premonition that something would definitely happen soon. So he was worried and anxious now, desperate to know what these abnormal situations were asking.
