Chapter 530: Britain Asks Huaxia for Help
The next day, as expected, the British envoy did not come, and Chen Jinghui accompanied Tang Yan'an to go home safely to Tang Yan's parents for a hundred years. During lunch, Chen Jinghui couldn't help but want to say it several times, Tang Yan was happy. But every time he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Tang Yan or kicked him with his feet, reminding him, which made Chen Jinghui depressed. But Tang Yan's parents didn't think so when they saw the two of them like this, thinking that the two were flirting.
On the first day of the new year, Chen Jinghui took Tang Yan to start greeting the commander-in-chief, deputy commander Jiang, the commander-in-chief, the prime minister, and those members of the Standing Committee in Beiping, wishing them a happy New Year.
In the evening, Chen Jinghui contacted Dean Sun and asked him to arrange to be an obstetrician and gynecologist, and he was going to take Tang Yan for an examination in the third year of junior high school. As a result, on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the comrades from the commander-in-chief said that the British envoy would arrive in Beiping at noon and let Chen Jinghui receive him. Although Chen Jinghui agreed to the commander-in-chief, he was concerned about his wife and future children, so he still decided to take his wife to the hospital for examination first.
After the inspection was completed and Tang Yan was sent home, Chen Jinghui was relieved. But when he looked at the watch on his wrist, it was almost eleven o'clock. So he said hello to Tang Yan's parents, asked them to come and take care of them, and then he went to see the British envoy, he wanted to see what the British were doing.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's the Chinese New Year in the past few days, and we have a lot of entertainment, so please don't blame Mr. Special Envoy. Chen Jinghui hurried to the reception room, saw a few Britons, and immediately humbly apologized for his late arrival.
"It doesn't matter, we also know that these few days are the most important season in China, and it is really helpless to take the liberty of coming over to disturb. I am William, Commander-in-Chief of the British Dispatch Force in Southeast Asia. William stood up and introduced himself.
"Hello General William, I'm glad you were able to come to Huaxia. My name is Chen Jinghui, and I was the deputy commander of the country at the time, so what can you tell me? Chen Jinghui introduced himself.
"It turns out that you are the famous General Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful."
William was shocked, he just knew that it was the deputy commander of Huaxia who received him, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Jinghui. In fact, before he came, Churchill had already told him that the most important task in Huaxia now was Chen Jinghui, and many big things needed Chen Jinghui's vision and permission. Therefore, before coming, Churchill especially resisted William, and he must meet Chen Jinghui and talk to him in detail. So when William heard Chen Jinghui's name, he was both excited and happy.
"Hehe, it's all a false name given by others. General William, it's not too early now, and we can't talk about anything more. Why don't I treat you to lunch and taste our Chinese cuisine? Chen Jinghui suggested.
"Ok, I also want to try the Chinese food, I heard that it is very good." Although William really wanted to start talking about things immediately, it was indeed lunch time now, and he couldn't talk about anything, so he simply agreed to Chen Jinghui and went to eat together.
For lunch, Chen Jinghui arranged braised pork, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork and other special dishes from the north and south of the Chinese country. Although there are only seven or eight dishes, it is already a high-standard reception for the current Huaxia.
After lunch, William didn't want to delay any longer, so he proposed that Chen Jinghui start talks. Chen Jinghui saw that William was in such a hurry, and he was embarrassed to continue to shirk, so the two came to the conference room again.
"General William, I don't know what the purpose of your visit this time is. You also know that our Chinese New Year is now the New Year, and other countries will avoid this time in general. Chen Jinghui asked.
"Deputy Commander Chen, then I'll say it directly. We came to Huaxia this time to get help from Huaxia. William said.
"Oh? Why do you say that, aren't you allies with the United States? Aren't they helping you a lot in Southeast Asia now, and you are still in your homeland, why do you still need our help from Huaxia. Chen Jinghui asked with a difference in performance.
"Nonono, it was true that we were allies with the United States before, but now the Americans have changed, and we don't know each other. There are some situations that you don't know, and if you did, you wouldn't think so. William said.
"Oh, I want to hear about it." Chen Jinghui said.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, you should know that Southeast Asia is our traditional British colony. Since the Japanese monkeys came to Southeast Asia, our colonies have been plundered by them, and we are really grateful that you Huaxia sent an expeditionary force to help. Later, the Americans themselves came to help, and they really helped us a lot in a short time. In India before, he also fought fiercely with the Japanese army with us. But for some reason, they suddenly signed an armistice agreement with Germany and Japan and other fascist countries behind our backs, and never mentioned attacking the Japanese army again. It is okay for them not to fight us ourselves, but when we were fighting against Japan, they even came to dissuade us from armisticing the war, which made His Excellency the President very angry. William was angry when he mentioned the United States.
"Oh, I didn't expect the United States to be mixed up with fascist countries, if you hadn't said it, I would have thought they were still in the anti-fascist camp." Chen Jinghui said in surprise.
"What's even more odious is that when they saw that we refused to stop fighting, they even cut off our arms supply, so that we are now very short of weapons and ammunition, and our offensive was blocked for a while." William continued to say with an angry expression.
"What! Isn't this an act of fascism that the Americans actually did, how can they do this. Chen Jinghui stood up excitedly and said.
"Vice-Commander, you are also very angry, don't you, their actions are indeed fascists. We demanded that they leave India and leave our colonies, but they refused to move, and stood where we were, and now our strength in Southeast Asia is not as strong as that of the American and Japanese armies, and we cannot defeat them, so we can only swallow our anger. Now that they have cut off our weapons supplies, we are even more saddened. Therefore, I came here this time mainly to seek your Huaxia's help and want to buy weapons and equipment from your Huaxia. William said.
"There is no problem with this, as long as it is an anti-fascist force in the world, we in China will help. Although we declare neutrality, we can sell you what you need. Chen Jinghui said.
He can't let Britain be squeezed out of Southeast Asia now, otherwise the United States and Japan will have no scruples. Now Chen Jinghui just wants to delay time, and Britain is the best target. As long as Britain was still fighting against Japan, there would be a gap in the alliance between them, and they had to devote their energies to dealing with Britain, so that China would have a chance to breathe and prepare well.
"Really, thank you so much, thank you so much." When William heard Chen Jinghui agree, he stood up very happily and was about to shake hands with Chen Jinghui.
"Hehe, it's a must. In fact, I still admire you Britain, who have the backbone and can continue to insist on your own truth without being a powerful person. Chen Jinghui praised him in person.
"Thanks, we've finally found a partner, thank you." William thanked again.
"General William, I don't know how many things you need, can you give me a list so I can estimate." Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes, yes, you see I'm so happy that I forgot about it. Deputy Commander-in-Chief, this is a list of the weapons and equipment we need at the moment, please be sure to sell them to us. William handed a list to Chen.
"General William, I can sell you most of the things on it, but there are two things that are not available at the moment. One is our rocket artillery, and the other is our Type 41 main battle tank. Although these two weapons were displayed when we founded the People's Republic of China, the performance test has not yet been completed, and they are not stable enough to be sold. Chen Jinghui said.
"But I've heard that these two weapons are very powerful, and that's what we need most right now." William said anxiously.
"General William, these two weapons are extremely unstable right now, and they are prone to problems. If I sell it to you and there is a problem on the battlefield, it is not a problem with a few pieces of equipment, it will affect the battle situation, and I can't harm you, so these two pieces of equipment cannot be sold in Huaxia for the time being. Chen Jinghui explained.
"Well, since it's not stable enough, then we're willing to increase the number of your J-1 fighters."
William felt that artillery and tanks could not buy what he wanted, but the aircraft were sold in Huaxia. As long as he can gain air supremacy, it can also effectively deter and threaten the enemy, so he decided to increase the number of aircraft purchased.
"General William, you have no problem increasing the number of J-1s, but the problem is that J-1 fighters are very expensive, and one one costs 30 million dollars." Chen Jinghui said.
"It doesn't matter, we are not ready to use dollars for the purchase of weapons and equipment this time, we are ready to use gold." William said.
"What, gold."
Chen Jinghui was surprised that someone was willing to trade with him with gold. This thing is a hard currency, a guarantee for the circulation of all paper and pencils, and it is much more valuable than the yuan and the dollar.
"Well, in that case, I have nothing more to say. General William, you immediately go and select pilots to enter China from our northwest, and we will take care of the training. Once your pilots are familiar with the J-1, you can fly straight back. Chen Jinghui said.
"Hehe, okay, that's the best, thank you very much to the deputy commander." William was still worried about this problem, but he didn't expect Chen Jinghui to solve it directly, which made him look out.
"Hehe, that's good, I'll have someone draw up the contract now."
Two hours later, the two sides signed the arms sales contract.
