The changes in the North American continent in the past few months have overwhelmed the media of various countries, and the news produced on the North American continent has kept the media of various countries busy.

After the various forces on the North American continent established states one after another, they did not stop tossing, and these small countries began to attack each other because of different beliefs, different races, land, mineral resources, and population.

With the return of the American troops originally stranded on the west coast of France, the intensity of this mutual attack became more intense, and the former American troops who returned to the North American continent did not all accept the command of the Wilson government, but joined various small countries, and it was precisely because of the return of these former American troops to the North American continent that the situation on the North American continent became more chaotic, and the wars between the small countries became more frequent.

Before going to work that morning, Xiao Zhenlei sat in the president's office with a newspaper and read it with relish, not to mention, those reporters were really brain-opening, they used their imagination and speculation to speculate the causes and consequences of various events that have happened on the North American continent, although these speculations are not accurate, but they are also very exciting, quite like reading martial arts novels.

At this time, Lu Zhengxiang walked in and said, "President! ”

When Xiao Zhenlei heard this, he put down the report and looked up at Lu Zhengxiang and said, "Oh, Chief Lu, do you have anything to do?" ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "President, President Situ of the Xinhua Republic sent a telegram to me, saying that he wanted to negotiate with my country about the purchase of naval warships and fighter planes!" ”

"Oh? That's a good thing, how many warships and how many warplanes does he want to buy? Xiao Zhenlei asked, got up and pointed to the rest area next to him, and motioned for Lu Zhengxiang to sit down and talk with him in the rest area.

The two of them came to the lounge area and sat down. Lu Zhengxiang said: "Specifically, President Situ did not say it in detail in the telegram. He said that if our country agreed, he would immediately send someone to talk to us in detail."

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and instructed, "Promise him." Since the other party didn't say it explicitly, let's wait for someone to come over and talk about it in detail! ”

"Understood!" Lu Zhengxiang agreed, hesitated for a moment and said: "The United Indian Emirates has also contacted our diplomatic envoy in North America, saying that they want to buy weapons and ammunition from us, in addition, there are several other newly established countries in North America who want to buy weapons from us, but they don't have money now, and they ask us if they can borrow from us first, you see ??????."

Xiao Zhenlei pondered it when he heard this. Shaking his head and said: "Money, you can't borrow, you also know that after the Huashan Conference, we have lent a lot of money to other countries, and we have no extra money to lend out, and these funds are not recoverable in one or two years, so we can't lend money for the time being, and now the regimes of those newly established countries in North America are not very stable, who knows how long they can exist?" If lent out. Will we be able to recover the money? So, you can't lend them money, but if you want to buy arms from us, you can promise them. If they don't have hard currency, consider exchanging them for minerals and oil resources! ”

Lu Zhengxiang said: "Yes, I understand what the president means!" ”

A few days passed. Chen Duming, the diplomatic ambassador of the Xinhua Republic to China, received an order from the West Coast of the United States, which President Situ gave him full authority. Let him negotiate with China on behalf of the Xinhua Republic on the purchase of arms, warships, and warplanes.

After receiving the telegram, Chen Duming knew that he would definitely find Xiao Zhenlei for this matter. So he made some preparations, and then contacted Lu Zhengxiang, and gave Lu Zhengxiang a detailed introduction to the matter that Xinhua Republic needs to buy weapons from China, Lu Zhengxiang reported to Xiao Zhenlei after listening, and after getting Xiao Zhenlei's permission, Lu Zhengxiang took him to the presidential palace to see Xiao Zhenlei.

Xiao Zhenlei was walking in the back garden of the presidential palace, thinking about the problem, and the secretary Xiao Gao came over and reported: "President, General Lu and Ambassador Chen Duming of Xinhuaguo are here!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Zhenlei turned around when he heard this, and Lu Zhengxiang and Chen Duming were walking from the forest path dozens of meters away.

The two came over quickly, and Lu Zhengxiang introduced; "President, this is Mr. Chen Duming, Ambassador of Xinhua to China."

Chen Duming bowed and said: "Hello President, it has been nearly a month since I arrived here, and I have been busy preparing for the establishment of the embassy during this time, and I have no time to visit the President, which is really rude, and I ask the President not to blame!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook hands with Chen Duming and smiled: "No blame, no blame, come, let's go!" ”

"Okay!"

Xiao Zhenlei asked as he walked, "Mr. Chen, is Mr. Situ okay?" I remember the last time I saw him was when I went to visit the United States, and it was four or five years ago. ”

Chen Duming said: "I thank President Situ for his concern, President Situ is in good health, very healthy, and very energetic, now Xinhua is a grass-roots country, President Situ has a heavy state affair, and he has no time to come to visit the president for the time being, President Situ said in a telegram to me, let me apologize to the president, and when Xinhua stabilizes, he hopes to come to China to visit the president and make a state visit!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and smiled: "Okay, please convey to Mr. Situ that I sincerely invite him to come to China for a state visit, at any time."

"Thank you, President," Chen Duming hurriedly said.

Xiao Zhenlei asked Chen Duming about some recent situations in Xinhuaguo, and the two sides chatted very well and were very happy.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Zhenlei turned the topic to the topic: "Mr. Chen, I heard from Chief Lu that you came this time mainly to buy arms, warships and fighters?" ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhenlei touched his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes from it, and handed one to Chen Duming: "Mr. Chen, smoke!" ”

Chen Duming hurriedly refused: "Thank you, President, I don't smoke, you smoke, you smoke!" ”

"It's good not to smoke, smoking is not good for your health!" Xiao Zhenlei said and lit a cigarette with a lighter and smoked it, and after walking for a while, he asked: "Chief Lu reported this matter to me and also said your needs, but I still want to hear you tell me the details in person."

Chen Duming hurriedly said: "Okay, President, our Xinhua country currently plans to purchase two 5,000-ton cruisers and two 1,000-ton destroyers, 20 fighters, 100,000 army rifles, 2,000 short guns, 300,000 grenades, and 1,000 heavy machine guns. 300 mortars, 200 mountain artillery, 200 howitzers, 100,000 shells, no bullets. We have a bullet production line and can produce bullets ourselves."

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "No problem." There are not many of these things, except for warships and fighters, other arms are in stock, and these warships and fighters you need can be delivered within half a year! ”

Chen Duming hesitated for a moment and said, "President, we have a reluctant request!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "Mr. Chen has anything to say, just say it."

"Okay, President, we hope that you can help us train the naval officers, sailors and pilots needed for this batch of warships, and we also hope that your country can send some army instructors to Xinhua to help us train soldiers."

Xiao Zhenlei listened to Chen Duming's words. After thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Chen's request makes me a little embarrassed, it is not a big problem to send army instructors to help you train the army, this can be considered, but you asked us to help train naval officers, sailors and pilots for you, this matter is a bit troublesome, after all, the amount of business this time is a little small!" ”

Chen Duming said helplessly: "President, we want to buy more, but our country is grass-based, and the treasury is not rich for the time being." Therefore it is not possible to buy more weapons, so ?????? However, in any case, I would like to ask the President for his help, and if your country does not help us train naval officers and pilots, then our country will even buy these warships and warplanes. We don't have anyone who can use it, and I would like to ask the President to help us for the sake of our two countries having the same roots."

Lu Zhengxiang interjected at this time: "The president ??????."

As soon as he said a few words, he was stopped by Xiao Zhenlei raising his hand. Xiao Zhenlei thought for a moment and said to Chen Duming: "If your country only buys these weapons, you want my country to help train the navy and pilots. Then our country will not only not make money in this business, but also lose money. Don't be in a hurry to refute it. Let me give you an example, you will know whether our country has made money, training a group of naval officers and men to operate a warship needs a large training ship, you have purchased a total of six, our country has to prepare at least three training ships for the training of the officers and men you have sent, these three training ships can not do other things within half a year, during the training period the maintenance and maintenance of the ship needs money, this is only a small head, the most consumed is the consumption of fuel, naval artillery shells, anti-aircraft weapons and ammunition, you must know that when the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels! ”

Chen Duming: "This ??????".

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "In this way, since your country wants to buy more weapons, but you don't have money, my country can consider lending your country a loan, which not only allows you to buy more weapons, but also allows your officers and soldiers to be trained, and also allows our country not to lose money in this business, what do you think?" ”

Chen Duming was quite surprised, "President, can your country repay the loan to my country?" Don't know how much you can borrow? ”

"How many more weapons do you need to buy?"

Chen Duming immediately said: "If we can borrow money, we hope to buy one battleship and two cruisers, four gunboats, four torpedo boats, and increase the number of fighters to one hundred."

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Then I will lend you 200 million Chinese yuan, but this money can only be used to buy weapons and related ammunition and weapon accessories, and cannot be used for other purposes."

"Of course, of course!"

After Chen Duming left, Lu Zhengxiang was quite puzzled and asked: "President, I don't understand, why don't you lend money to other countries, but you can lend it to Xinhuaguo?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "Of course, Xinhuaguo is different from other countries, don't you think Huaguo is too lonely in the world?" Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, etc., are all relatives in the final analysis, and European countries are basically relatives with each other, they have a common ideology, but what about us? Our Huaguo is always incompatible with other countries, not only the ideology is completely opposite, but even the physiognomy characteristics of the people are completely different, Chief Lu, we also need relatives! ”

"Got it!" (To be continued......)
