Funds with a total value of 1,000 tons of gold, if all are converted into US dollars, that is, a full billion....

Such a good opportunity to extort money, not only the chairman, but also the prime minister also attaches great importance to it-1-With the approval of the chairman, the prime minister directly reluctantly cut his love and handed over the entire billion dollars of funds to Liu Hua, allowing Liu Hua to decide for himself the equipment and materials that need to be purchased....

Looking at the telegram sent by the central government, Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh with emotion for the central government's handwriting and courage. Because, in the case of a backward domestic economy and a shortage of funds, development is needed everywhere, and funds are needed. Taking out such a huge amount of money, no matter which leader it is, is a very difficult thing to choose, since the two CEOs put this burden on themselves, Liu Hua of course wants to complete it better.

Large machinery and equipment and military equipment were basically all purchased through the last round of telegraph transactions.

This one is even larger, and without the purchase of large machinery and equipment. It is undoubtedly very difficult to spend it all, and to spend it in key positions, without conducting a field trip. Here, the idea of visiting the United States came directly to Liu Hua's mind.

"Chief of Staff, report to me the latest situation of the various combat units of the Expeditionary Force...."Liu Hua asked directly with an abrupt face.

Holding a telegram from the Central Committee on authorizing the commander-in-chief to purchase equipment, he asked about the situation of the expeditionary force, which had nothing to do with the purchase of equipment. Although Chief of Staff Zuo Quan didn't know the reason, his perennial partner had already made him adapt to Liu Hua's very jumping thinking.

After quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he spoke directly with the left right of recollection.

"The progress of the various units is not bad....""At the repeated request of the Japanese cabinet and the local Japanese government, the retreating units did not encounter any difficulties from the Japanese....and, even if the Japanese wanted to make difficulties, in their own territory. Nor could I find a few young men who could take up arms and fight. Speaking of this, a look of admiration for Liu Hua directly appeared on his face.

Several years of war losses, plus the millions of people Liu Hua sent to the U.S. government....look at the entire Japanese mainland. It is rare to see a single young Japanese man. Even seventeen or eighteen-year-old students are like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is difficult to see. To be sure, at least for the next few decades, the entire Japanese government will have to fight for an unbalanced proportion of the population in the country...

Decades of stagnant development, coupled with Japan's poor and white industrial foundation. As you can imagine, as long as there are no accidents. The Japanese government will forever lose the opportunity to rise ....

All of this, without exception, came from the hand of the commander-in-chief in front of him.

After a short period of thought, Zuo Quan's sanity still recovered as soon as possible. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he continued to report.

"According to the latest battle reports sent by the various departments, all the troops on the expedition have been assembled according to the order. So far, the smallest massed forces are also at the division level ....as long as the order is given by the General Command. All the units of the combat year can be gathered in the scheduled military port within half a month..."

"That being the case. Then the entire expeditionary force will not have any major events in the next period of time...."Liu Hua said.

"Commander-in-chief, what do you mean...."Zuo Quan, who was becoming more and more puzzled, directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"The central government handed over a large sum of money of one billion dollars to me, and authorized me to use all the funds. In any case, I will not let down the chairman and live up to the trust of the Central Committee. Therefore, I plan to temporarily resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force to the Central Committee, and take this money to visit the United States in person..."Liu Hua replied with a contemplative face. …,

"Visiting the United States..."Zuo Quan directly opened his mouth into a 0 shape. He asked rhetorically with a shocked face.

"Yes, it's a visit to the United States...."

"A billion-dollar purchase order is a huge asset even for the current U.S. government. In addition, there is no clear procurement goal in this transaction, and only by going to the United States can we truly understand the gap between China and the United States. We got the right medicine and got the equipment we needed...."

"In addition, I also want to go to the United States to buy some patented technologies and introduce some talents through this trip to the United States," Liu Hua explained.

Perennial partner, Zuo Quan is very aware of one fact. In front of Liu Hua, there must be a reason to do it, and this thing must be right....

Seeing Liu Hua with a confident face in front of him, Zuo Quan directly agreed.

"Commander-in-Chief, I believe you...."

"However, a visit to the United States is such a big thing that the two of us can't make a decision alone. I mean, immediately put your reasons into writing, report the situation by telegram to the Central Committee, and ask the Central Committee for approval. After all, you are also a national leader, and a visit to the United States can be regarded as an exchange between countries..."

"Yes, I'll send a telegram to the Central Committee right away... After I leave, the entire expeditionary force will be handed over to you for unified command and gradually withdraw from the Japanese mainland...."Liu Hua nodded and said.

Office of the Chairman of the General Office of the Central Committee of Zhongnanhai, Beijing.

Looking at the telegram sent by Liu Hua personally, the chairman was very satisfied. Because from the content of the telegram, the chairman could feel that Liu Hua had not forgotten his identity because of his military exploits. At the same time, it also let the chairman see Liu Hua's meticulous and cautious attitude in doing things.

"Visiting the United States....Enlai, I seem to remember that since we took over state power, there has been no experience of a leader visiting a foreign country, right?" The chairman asked with a smile on his face.

"No, even the big brother of the Soviet Union on the border has not officially visited since the founding of New China....", the prime minister affirmed.

Hearing these two words, the Soviet Red Army in the Far East constantly provoked a series of frictions on the border during the Northeast Field Army's attack on Korea. A trace of murderous aura immediately flashed on the chairman's face, and he said coldly.

"The Soviet Union is okay for the time being, although they are the same people, but from them, not only do we not see a little friendship between people, but we see a trace of murder... If nothing else, take the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression as an example, the US government's various kinds of gratuitous assistance to our country far exceeded that of the Soviet Union, to which it belonged. In my opinion, our big brother is not as good as US President Roosevelt...."

Speaking of which, the chairman did not seem to want to continue the topic and asked directly to the Prime Minister.

"Forget it, let's not discuss this topic, let's talk about the request sent by Comrade Liu Hua first....Enlai, what do you think of Comrade Liu Hua's suggestion?"

"Very pertinent, there are no personal feelings mixed in it. At the same time, what he said is also true, only by going to the United States in person can we really discover the real gap between China and the United States and choose the equipment we need to develop. Of course, there is also the most important thing, which is to introduce advanced production technology and talents from the United States to China..."The prime minister did not hesitate to praise his own praise and said excitedly.

"This sentence in Comrade Liu Hua's telegram is right, no matter what period 'talent is the first development force of society'. If a country does not have talents, no matter how much industrial equipment it has, it is impossible for the whole country to develop and become strong. Of course, even if it becomes stronger, it will be overtaken by other countries at the first time..."

"Therefore, the introduction of foreign advanced technology and talents has become a vital part of our country's development. Since Comrade Liu Hua has proposed it to us, then we must make good use of this opportunity..."The chairman firmly stood on the side of his future successor Liu Hua, and said with an affirmative face. …,

"Chairman, since this is the case, then we agree to Comrade Liu Hua's request for a foreign visit.," the premier asked with a smile.

"Not only agree, but also support as much as possible," the chairman said.

"Comrade Liu Hua is not a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, but also a vice chairman of the government and a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission. It can be said that in foreign countries, Comrade Liu Hua represents our entire country. As a leader of a big country, he should not be too shabby when he visits a foreign country. ”

"Prime Minister, my idea is that since Comrade Liu Hua is on a foreign trip on behalf of the country, he will go to the United States to purchase equipment. Then the government, the government council....do you need to send some personnel to follow? Of course, the premise is that these people who follow Liu Hua on his visit can help Liu Hua..."The chairman said categorically.

"As for the Government Council, I have a candidate?" The Prime Minister's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"Huh? Who can make our Prime Minister so attentive, let me hear it too...", the chairman asked with an interested face.

"Before Comrade Deng Xiaoping was recommended by Comrade Liu Hua to enter the Government Affairs Yuan, I thought that Comrade Xiaoping was just an excellent political worker. In less than two months after entering the Government Affairs Yuan, I discovered that Comrade Xiaoping also had a very high talent for economic development. ”

Comrade Xiaoping not only understands the domestic economic situation, is well aware of the various industrial bases in China, but more importantly, he is also Comrade Liu Hua's old partner. Therefore, I think it would be better for him to be Comrade Liu Hua's assistant..."The premier said with certainty.

"Since the prime minister approves of it, then let Comrade Xiaoping go....As for the other personnel, it is up to you to decide."

In addition, he telegraphed to Comrade Liu Hua, and the Central Committee agreed to his request. Immediately transfer the command of the expeditionary force to Comrade Zuo Quan. Then, in the shortest possible time, rush back to the Central Committee and accept a new appointment....", the chairman ordered.

"Yes, Chair..."
