"Mr. President, according to our investigation, this watchman company is an import and export company that was registered by a Chinese in May 1936. In the beginning, their business was only exporting silk, but now their business scope has expanded to the import and export of various household appliances and various daily necessities. Now they have matured and developed into a huge group with more than 10,000 employees and more than a billion assets. ”

In his office, Roosevelt was sitting behind his desk, listening to a plainclothes intelligence officer reading the information that had just been sent by the Central Intelligence Bureau. His personal secretary, Margaret Lehand, was crouching in front of him to help him massage his polio-stricken thighs to prevent further atrophy of the thigh muscles. His senior aide Hawkins sat on the sidelines and listened to the intelligence officer's briefing with Roosevelt.

"Oh! Does this Yuanwang company still have the official background of Huaxia? Roosevelt asked quietly.

"Yes, and we also found that there are three shareholders in this company, and they are all women."

"What? Three women? At this time, Hawkins, who was standing next to Roosevelt, was also curious, "Could it be that these three women started this watch company?" It's incredible. ”

"We don't know if these three women started this watch company, but we found out that these three women have a legal husband together, his name is Su Tong, the current president of the Republic of China!" , the intelligence officer affirmed.

"God, three women share a legal husband, the world is crazy!" Margaret Lehand, who was helping Roosevelt with a leg massage, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh, Miss Margaret, this is a Chinese tradition. It is not unthinkable for a man to have more than one wife in Huaxia, although this man's status is a little special. Hawkins said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"But isn't it disrespectful to women?" Margaret asked curiously.

Hawkins smiled, "Miss Margaret" We'll talk about it later, but now all we have to do is study what they want to do in the United States.

"Jeffrey, you go ahead and talk about Lou"

"Yes, Mr. Hawkins." The intelligence officer continued, "And recently we discovered that this watch company is purchasing a lot of food. Roosevelt pursed his lips and didn't speak, but moved his body to the side, and Hawkins also asked, "Did you get a specific amount?" ”

The intelligence officer replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Hawkins. We only came to report to you after we got the specific data, this watch company has purchased a total of 200 million US dollars of grain in more than ten days, and the final destination of these grains is Huaxia. ”

At this time, Roosevelt interrupted the intelligence officer's words: "It seems that this batch of grain should have been purchased by the Huaxia government, and they just borrowed the name of the Shouwang Company." Hawkins: "Have we received reports of a large-scale self-confessed man-made disaster in China this year, resulting in a massive reduction in grain production? ”

Hawkins shook his head and said, "No, Mr. President." We have not been reported in this regard. "No reports of a massive reduction in food production? Do the Chinese want to build up grain reserves? Roosevelt thought for a while and couldn't think of any reason, 200 million dollars, that's billions of kilograms of grain? This grain is enough for all the Chinese people to eat for two months. Could it be that the Chinese government is now very short of food? Roosevelt really couldn't think of it, so he finally gave up, after all, 200 million dollars of grain seems to be a lot, but it is only a small part of the huge American grain market, and it is not enough to affect the American market. Anyway, the grain market in the United States is generally weak, and it would be a good thing if the $200 million investment could bring food prices back up.

What baffles us now is that Wish doesn't seem to want too many people to know that their acquisition is going on quietly. ", the conscientious intelligence officer continued.

The intelligence officer's words made both Roosevelt and Hawkins laugh, "Okay, you go down first." I don't think anyone would make a big deal of buying such a large amount of grain, unless he thinks he has too much money. In Roosevelt and Hawkins' minds, the Wish Company would do this normally, and it would be brainless if they made the whole city know about the large-scale purchase of grain, after all, it would be strange if the farmers didn't take the opportunity to raise the price after knowing that someone was going to buy so much grain.

But what Roosevelt didn't know was that our Vice President Chiang also sent another wave of people to buy nearly a billion dollars of grain in markets all over the world, which is quite a lot. If Roosevelt had received this information in time, he would have to make a separate assessment of the Chinese government.

Just when Su Tong was preparing for the coming of the big war, he himself, who had been silent for several months, had already begun to move in Nanyang.

On 23 March, a small fleet of the Japanese fleet set sail from the port of Kaohsiung in Taiwan to the Batan Islands in the Philippines, where it encountered a US patrol fleet near the waters off the Batan Islands. The explanation for this is that the Japanese were originally conducting normal patrols in the waters near Taiwan, and that "it is not US territory, so the US Government's protest is unreasonable."

Yes, there seems to be nothing wrong with the government's statement on the surface: "Your American mainland is 108,000 miles away from here, and I came here to patrol what does it matter to you." But the Philippines is a traditional colony of the United States, and it is also the traditional sphere of influence of the United States.

After receiving the Japanese government's concubine, the U.S. government was silent, and Roosevelt further raised his vigilance against the Japanese government.

In fact, after receiving the appearance of the Japanese fleet in Philippine waters, Roosevelt was also depressed. The strength of the US Navy at present is not as high as that of later generations, and it can do whatever it wants on the earth, unlike the desperate efforts to develop the Navy with the strength of the whole country, and under the influence of national isolationism, the development of the US Navy at this time is still relatively slow, and if the US Navy wants to clash with the Japan Combined Fleet, it is the Americans who will suffer the loss. Moreover, the United States was not ready for war with Japan, and Roosevelt had to hold his nose and swallow this breath.

"No, the naval strength of the Chinese is still too weak, and we can't let the Japanese themselves do whatever they want in the Pacific." After this incident, Roosevelt felt that the support for the Huaxia Navy must be increased. At this time, after Su Tong wanted the U.S. government to help Huaxia establish two more large shipbuilding bases and ports in Huludao and Qinhuangdao through official channels, Roosevelt quickly agreed, and a large number of technicians, engineers and materials soon came to Huaxia under the tacit agreement of the two governments.

At this time, Su Tong was already thinking about what kind of battleships he wanted to configure for the Huaxia Navy.

In a hidden office in the presidential palace, Su Tong was checking a large number of battleship materials. Now in front of Su Tong is the information of the two most powerful battleships in another space, they are the Iowa-class battleships of the United States and the Jihe-class battleships of Japan.

Judging from the data, the Yamato battleship had a displacement of 64,000 tons, a maximum of 73,000 tons, a maximum speed of 27 knots, three triple 18-inch (455-mm) main guns, three triple 6-inch (155-mm) main guns, 24 127-mm anti-aircraft guns, 133 25-mm anti-aircraft guns, and a crew of 2,300.

The Iowa-class battleships of the United States have a displacement of 45,000 tons, a maximum of 59,300 tons, a maximum speed of 33 knots, nine triple 406 mm and 50 times caliber guns, and 20 twin 127 mm high-level dual-purpose guns; There were 6,180 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, 5,160 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and a crew of 1,851 people.

In front of Su Tong stood Lieutenant General Ma Jun, who is now the head of the General Logistics Department of the Huaxia National Defense Forces.

Su Tong picked up the blueprint of the Yamato-class battleship and handed it to Ma Jun and asked, "Ma Jun, if you let the Moon Base build two of these Yamato-class battleships, how long will it take to build them?" ”

Ma Jun took the drawings and silently calculated and said: "Sir, since the Moon Base is now making every effort to produce the two Midway-class aircraft carriers that you customized, the construction of these two battleships will not start until April, and it is expected that it will take two months to complete without damaging other production plans." ”

At present, the three major ships are still just an empty shelf, and there are no main warships, if China had relied on its own national strength to build battleships and aircraft carriers, I am afraid that World War II would have been over long ago. But if you want to use the golden finger of the moon base, how do you explain these warships falling from the sky? Thinking of this, Su Tong felt that his head began to swell, and after thinking about it, Su Tong was ruthless, now the country's Lao Tzu is the biggest, buddy, don't say who dares to chirp crookedly, that's it, make it! Su Tong slapped the table and immediately made up his mind.

"Damn, we're going to build the Yamato-class!" Aren't you very good, buddy will build your battleship in advance, disgusting you.! ~！
