Chapter 933: Trading

Roosevelt smiled wryly, he knew that since the tiger had said so, he would definitely not talk about it again. It would be in vain to continue to talk about it yourself.

"General Tu, can you guarantee that this matter won't have too much impact?!" Little John values the impact of the matter, after all, it is too great to kill a general directly, and it is so cruel and blatant.

Tu Lao Hu was obviously a little impatient, waved his hand and said to John Rockefeller Jr.: "What guarantee do you want?!" In my opinion, this may still be a good thing. At least in the future, even if it is an invasion, they will try to kill as few civilians as possible for no reason. After all, no one wants to bear this kind of bloody revenge. ”

Listening to the words of the slaughtering tiger, little John nodded unexpectedly. Indeed, if the Wehrmacht had done this, anyone who tried to violate the Geneva Conventions on the battlefield would have thought twice.

You are happy to break the covenant, but it is painful when others violate the covenant against you. No one wants to bear such pain, even for many countries to take the Geneva Conventions seriously.

"Okay, that's the end of the conversation. Next, let's talk about those two sunken aircraft carriers and those four sunken battleships. Tu Laohu had obviously endured to the limit, and looking at his expression, Roosevelt and the others could only smile and expose the topic.

"Well, my Mr. Tiger. Those two aircraft carriers and four battleships, what are you going to do ?! Roosevelt no longer dwelled on the subject, but shifted the topic to where Tu Sanpao wished.

"Those two carriers and four battleships were sunk in the harbor, so we could do salvage." Pao Ye was also not polite, and said to the two: "Didn't you always hope that we could attack Southeast Asia and rescue your people?!" Now is the opportunity, as long as those aircraft carriers and battleships are repaired, we are sure to send troops to Southeast Asia. ”

After a pause, Pao Ye continued: "Of course. The premise is that you must help us hold back those Japanese navies. Otherwise, with two aircraft carriers and four battleships, I'm afraid we still won't be able to stop the Japanese Navy. ”

Roosevelt and Rockefeller glanced at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes. In fact, after the news of the Wehrmacht's sinking of aircraft carriers and battleships, Roosevelt and his cabinet began to study this matter.

The first thing they have to do is to rejudge the combat effectiveness of the Wehrmacht. This has had a tremendous impact on the strategic arrangement of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region. The fighting power displayed by the Wehrmacht led Roosevelt and his cabinet to believe that support for the Wehrmacht could be increased.

This would ensure that the Wehrmacht would be able to fight against the Japanese, thereby depleting the Japanese and preventing them from posing a threat to American soil. And the United States can also free up its hands and feet to deal with the Germans who are now eyeing the English Channel.

Second, the United States is very interested in the new bombs of the Wehrmacht. It can be used only with two. It was undoubtedly a feat to sink the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships.

The Americans very much wanted to get their hands on this new type of bomb. You know, these bombs can not only hit aircraft carriers, but the Wehrmacht has also achieved great results in using them for work.

This will be of great help to the United States in attacking the European continent in the future, so the Americans are eager to get a map of the bomb structure. It would be nice to have a few for them to study.

"Three guns, our current technicians are also very tight." Roosevelt shrugged. He said to Tu Sancannon: "You have to know that we are now facing a challenge from the Germans, and the Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses at Pearl Harbor. We also have to think about our own safety, right?! Therefore, it is unlikely that a technician will be sent. ”

Roosevelt was also a master bargainer, especially after spending some time in China and learning the Chinese's desire to capture him, so his bargaining skills became more and more masterful.

"I didn't say I wanted your technicians, I just said that we still need to repair it after we salvage it. It's going to take some time. The cannon shrugged his shoulders and said, "The British are for their prisoners of war." I believe it will provide us with some help. What I need is for you to help us get in touch with them. ”

Roosevelt smiled bitterly, now that Britain is too busy to take care of itself, where are the extra people to provide for the Wehrmacht to repair the battleship?! Tu Sanpao is forcing the palace, and the implication is very clear: if you don't help us, you will postpone the entry into Southeast Asia.

"Mr. President, the warship salvaged from Pearl Harbor has been partially repaired. We should now be able to spare some manpower to help the Wehrmacht repair those six warships. "Secretary of War Harry H. Woodlin stepped up at the right time. Whispered to Roosevelt.

The president has already spoken out, and naturally it is impossible to take it back. At this time, someone needs to stand up and carry the black pot.

"Oh?! Is that so?! Roosevelt turned his head in surprise and asked, and Woodlin nodded, "Yes, of course, these people don't have many manpower, but they can help the Wehrmacht repair these ships." ”

Sangun smiled. It seems that this Woodlin is not a good bird either. He wanted to spare some of his manpower to urge the Wehrmacht to repair the warship as soon as possible. Then the Southeast Asian operation was carried out.

On the one hand, it can be regarded as an alliance with the Wehrmacht, and on the other hand, it can also keep an eye on the progress of the Wehrmacht's repair of warships. And the price to pay is not huge.

"It's just a small group of people, and I think it's going to take more time for us to fix it." For this kind of intellectual contest, the three guns have always been very interested.

In the eyes of the Third Artillery, this is like a war, constantly trying to attack, finding out the opponent's offensive line, and then finding the weak point, everything enters, dividing and surrounding the opponent, and annihilating them one by one.

Of course, Master Pao is still relatively clear about this kind of thing. Allies, it's okay for everyone to make a little calculation with each other. However, we must maintain a consistent pace in the general direction and on major issues.

Hadley didn't expect that the cannon master would react so quickly, and he couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he smiled wryly and turned his gaze to John Rockefeller Jr.

"B-17, fifty. Thirty professional technicians will help you repair those six ships. Little John pondered for a while, and then said to the slaughtering tiger: "The war in Southeast Asia must be opened up within this year, and we still need information on new bombs." ”

John Rockefeller Jr. was a businessman, and he was keenly aware of the fact that bargaining with the bandit general was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task. So he chose to directly throw out his reserve price, and at the same time tell the tiger what he wanted.

"Ten B-17s are fine, but we need blueprints and engine construction drawings." The gun master saw that Little John had already offered the price. Naturally, you're welcome.

"Two aircraft carriers, four battleships will definitely not be able to complete the task. We also need at least one aircraft carrier and other warships to cooperate. "The gun master also set a price, of course, he will not let the Americans suffer too much.

No one is stupid, and you can't do this business just thinking about taking advantage of yourself. Only win-win and multi-win can keep your business going.

And if you give people a kind feeling, then he will be willing to do business with you next time. If you put people to death at once, then you can only lose your customers.

The father and son of the Tu family understand this truth very well, so their business has been very long-lasting. And those who have dealt with them think that although the father and son are smart, they are kind people.

"We can provide the drawings of the 'Gong' type, and we will provide you with ten pieces for study." There was a pause. Pao Ye smiled and said, "I know you've always wanted the 'Tiger Shark', and there's no problem with that. ”

Little John hesitated for a moment, and the deal proposed by the gun master was obviously attractive. The design of the tiger shark is what the United States has always wanted, after all, the tiger shark has proven its value with its excellent performance.

Therefore, the US side has always wanted to get the Tiger Shark to equip its troops. Especially the Navy. After learning that the Tiger Shark had blown down two aircraft carriers and four battleships, they desperately wanted to get the Tiger Shark to arm their carriers.

However, the requirement for engine technology was a bit of a dilemma for John Jr. So John Jr. turned his attention to Roosevelt. That's a good idea, and I think it's a good price.

Roosevelt didn't know if it was a good deal, so he turned his attention to Secretary of State Cordelhull.

"General Tu, we need something else." Hull did not disappoint Roosevelt. He lowered his head and thought about it, and said to the artillery master: "I know that you have a single weapon, which is very suitable for fire support in positional combat. ”

At this point, Hull's meaning is clear. The engine is too much of a loss for the United States, at least it has to give the United States some benefits, right?! After all, engine technology is not the U.S. government's.

This will have to be coordinated with the following companies. The B-17 is equipped with a Wright R-1820-97 cyclonic supercharged star engine. This belongs to Boeing.

Although the U.S. government can also ask Boeing to sell this technology, if there is no compensation at all, then Boeing is not fun.

"We need some weapons on warships, as well as some plans for aircraft carriers and battleships." This is the final price of the cannon master.

The meaning of the gun master is very clear, we can provide what you say. But the same. You also need to provide what we need to use.

"General, you are a master bargainer. If I go to sales. Then I am sure that you will definitely be able to make a great sales manager. ”

Hull smiled at Tiger Slayer with a sigh, and then nodded at Roosevelt. This is the kind of decision that only Roosevelt could make. If it had been in the past, Congress had come to restrain him.

But now Congress and Roosevelt almost wear a pair of pants, and there are not many Roosevelts in the entire Congress. Those Roosevelt's proposals would have been directly agreed without too many twists and turns.

"Hahaha...... Three guns, you are really a master bargain. Well, for the sake of the Asia-Pacific format, I think I can give you all that. ”

As he spoke, Roosevelt paused and said, "Tonight I will draw up a report with my cabinet members and submit it to Congress." As long as it passes, then everything is easy to say. ”

This kind of thing is a must to be submitted to Congress, at least on the surface that you need to. Otherwise, political opponents will attack and annihilate it, which is not fun.

Tu Hu smiled faintly, and pulled Roosevelt to go out to often hunt the prey he had hunted yesterday. The details of the deal will be taken over by a dedicated department of the coalition government. The three guns don't care about these things.

And Roosevelt will also give these things to the officials below to be specifically responsible, after all, he is the president. It's boring to argue at the negotiating table.

Roosevelt was pleased with the deal. He got the design drawings of the Wehrmacht "Tiger Shark" that the United States had always wanted. At the same time, a blueprint for the Wehrmacht's ground attack weapon was obtained.

Of course, Pao Ye is also very happy. The survival rate of wooden planes is too low, and many times when encountering Japanese planes, it can only be said that they keep pulling up and then fleeing.

This made the gun master very dissatisfied. And the cannon master is very keenly aware of it. The thick-skinned B-17 will become the mainstream bomber in the future. And the most important thing is that the United States Matsuguchi provided information on the engine.

This greatly prevented the Wehrmacht from taking a crooked path in the design and manufacture of new fighters. After all, the Wehrmacht has been established for too short a time to compare with an industrial behemoth like the United States.

The foundation is too thin, resulting in a lack of talent in all aspects of the national defense force. Most of the time, the research institutes of the National Defense Forces rely on Jia Xiaohou's generation.

And the industrial accumulation of the United States for decades is not something that can be caught up in a moment and a half. Getting these design drawings is more important than getting the aircraft, because the Wehrmacht can have more research and development and thinking directions from now on.

This is an incomparably large contribution award for the new fighter.

Roosevelt and Tiger Tu were laughing, while Miyajihito of the Tokyo camp wanted to cry without tears. A general became a prisoner. This is something that has not happened since the Meiji Restoration.

The army's heel was so powerful that only more than 30,000 people withdrew from the entire 300,000-strong army. The two aircraft carriers and four battleships that the Navy had supported were all sunk.

Less than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were saved, and the palace knew that the two aircraft carriers and four battleships would definitely be salvaged by the Wehrmacht. But it is still unknown whether they can repair it with their craftsmanship.

However, neither the capture of Shunroku Hata nor the loss of Shanghai did as much harm as the loss of two aircraft carriers and four battleships by the navy.

"Xianyuan Gongjun, I think you know that you personally requested to send warships to support this time." King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong's face was gloomy. Teeth clucking.

The losses of the Navy this time are too great, admittedly! This is also caused by the fact that the admirals have always believed that the Wehrmacht has little power to fight back against the navy.

"Now that Shunroku Hata has been captured, he will even be sentenced to death in public by the Wehrmacht! Your Excellency Fushimimiya, don't you feel heartache at all for what happened to your colleagues?! ”

Xianyuan Gong tried to change the topic and avoid his own embarrassment. Of course, he also hinted: Shunroku Hata has been captured, and there is really no way for our army not to fight.

"Red Deer Noro! I don't even know how he got into the Luda Saber Group. Led to such a heavy loss for the Empire! If he had died in front of the battle, I might have retained some respect for him. But now that he's been captured, he'll even be escorted to the Shina Army's shrine to be executed! It's a shame to get home! ”

It's okay not to mention Shunroku Hatata, but it's even more angry when he mentions the ups and downs. Is it easy for our Imperial Navy to train a little talent?! In particular, most of these officers and seamen participated in the Battle of Pearl Harbor.

This is a real battle! Shunroku Hata is good. buried them all in Shanghai at once.

"Regarding this matter, the army must give our navy an explanation!" Fushimiya gritted his teeth and said, "Two aircraft carriers!" Four battleships!! Do you know how important this is for the coastal defense of the Empire?! ”

Xianyuan Palace was silent, and sat with his head bored without saying a word.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Fushiminomiya glared angrily at the door. But after seeing the comer, Fushiminomiya was stunned. The person who came was a close entourage in Hirohito's palace, and he had never left Hirohito's side.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Fushiminomiya, His Royal Highness the Prince of Kanin Palace. Your Majesty asked me to come to you. The chamberlain saluted the two princes respectfully, and then said, "Please come with me into the palace." ”

Kanin Palace and Fushimi Palace saw this chamberlain's face extremely ugly, and Hirohito rarely summoned them. Even if they are usually summoned, they just ask the palace officials to give them a phone call.

This time, Hirohito actually asked his personal attendant to come to them. It seems that Hirohito's attitude towards this matter is elusive......

Hirohito summoned him, and the two of them did not dare to slack off. Cleaned up a bit, and then rushed to Hirohito's palace with the chamberlain. Neither of them spoke along the way, and no one even tried to test the chamberlain's tone.

These chamberlains are all Hirohito's henchmen, and it is impossible for him to get any news from them.

In silence, the two made their way through the corridors to Hirohito's palace. Hirohito didn't see them directly, but waved his hand at the chamberlain behind the screen.

The chamberlain bowed knowingly, then walked out of the room and closed the door.

"What's going on with you two?! The Navy turned out to lose two aircraft carriers and four battleships!! After the chamberlain walked out, Hirohito behind the screen let out an angry roar.

"A general has been captured! Since the Meiji Restoration, the army generals of our Great Nippon Empire have only been killed in battle, how can they ever be captured?! Xianyuan Palace! Fushiminomiya!! You two have simply disgraced my emperor's face!! ”

"Hail!!" The heads of Fushimi Palace and Xianyuan Palace were lowered, and even the cold sweat on their backs kept rising. Hirohito rarely got so angry, and the only time was at 226.

This time, it seems that Hirohito is really angry.

"Today, you two must give me an explanation! Especially you, Xianyuan Palace! What did you tell me?! The Shanghai position is impregnable, it is the Oriental 'Maginot '! But now, what do I see?! ”

ps: Set off to practice driving, this is a good overnight code.
