Meeting with Roosevelt

Billion-dollar purchases, even in the present day, are enough to attract the attention of a country's leaders. What's more, one dollar is enough to be worth tens of dollars, or even hundreds of dollars, in the forties of the last century.

It can be said that looking at the whole world, no country has been able to spend so much money on equipment at one time.

In front of real money, a heavy aircraft carrier that the United States had just built in the late stage of World War II and had not had time to enter service, and the war ended directly into the hands of the Chinese Navy.

Of course, aircraft carriers are in hand, corresponding cruisers, destroyers, carrier-based fighters, bombers .......nothing is missed. It is safe to say that after these more than 10 warships return to China, the largest aircraft carrier fleet of the entire Chinese Navy will be born.

On the army side, in order to cope with the possible future military conflicts on the Sino-Soviet border, and also to recover more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land in Siberia, which was occupied by the Soviet Union and is full of oil and natural gas, it is also in order to recover more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land in the area of Siberia, which was occupied by the Soviet Union and full of oil and natural gas. Ten heavy armored divisions, five aviation divisions ... A series of army heavy equipment has all become the content of this transaction.

Of course, throughout the transaction process, there are also things that both parties are dissatisfied with. For example, aero engine technology, tank internal combustion engine production, automobile engine production technology, high-hardness composite steel plate technology...

As the head of the delegation, Liu Hua just put forward his intention, but was rejected by the other party.

"Please forgive me, Your Excellency, these production technologies are the core military technologies of the US government, and I have no right to sell them without the authorization of the president. Of course, if you are interested in these equipment, our US government can export a large number of aircraft engines, internal combustion engines... equipment...."Chief of Staff Marshall politely declined with a sly smile.

Marshall's refusal did not surprise Liu Hua, you must know that the reason why the American equipment in World War II was able to shake the lead of several other countries is that the most important thing is the secrecy and continuous development of these core technologies. If even these core technologies are lost. Then there is no need to take the lead.

However, Marshall's refusal was one thing, and President Roosevelt's disagreement was another. Because during the trip to the United States, Liu Hua had already thought of saying the specific words of US President Roosevelt.

"That being the case. I will definitely persuade Your Excellency the President...."Facing Marshall, Liu Hua said confidently.

After the procurement of the military industry was completed, the entire Chinese delegation began to go to various parts of the United States to purchase various civilian industrial equipment and corresponding production technologies urgently needed in China in accordance with the tasks assigned by Liu Hua during the trip.

As the head of the delegation, Liu Hua, under the leadership of Marshall, chief of the US General Staff, held a series of meetings and consultations with President Roosevelt.

As President of the United States. Roosevelt's first impression of Liu Hua was that he was very capable, with a pair of bright eyes, as if he could see through himself.

In the face of a rare opponent, Liu Hua also cheered up, intending to get more beneficial benefits for his country in the negotiations.

"Your Excellency, I believe that you should already be clear about the purpose of my visit to the United States... After a long war of resistance to Japan. The entire industrial base of China was almost destroyed at once. The development of various industries, especially the corresponding military industry, has also stagnated for several years. So. For the sake of the development of our country and the corresponding national security, I hope that through this trip to the United States, I can purchase various equipment and corresponding technologies that are urgently needed in China...."

In front of the real cattle people, any hypocrisy and grievances are false, and they will also cause dissatisfaction with the other party. Therefore, after a short greeting between the two, Liu Hua went straight to the point and said his purpose. …,

"In terms of equipment, your chief of staff has promised to help us liaise with us, and at the same time promised to sell it to our country. But. On some technical aspects, I was rejected. Now facing Your Excellency, I hope to be able to get your consent...."

Liu Hua's style of acting was different from that of the former Kuomintang diplomats, which made Roosevelt's favorable impression of China much better. After smiling mysteriously, he asked sharply.

"Mr. Vice President, Marshall should have told you. The technology you need is the core technology of our industry. Once leaked, it will cause very huge losses to our industry. So, I need a reason to be able to move me...."

Roosevelt did not directly refuse, and Liu Hua already saw the hope of victory. After quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he opened his mouth and asked, "Your Excellency, I would like to ask you a question. As for the core technologies you mentioned, how long do you think it will take to crack them after the introduction of the corresponding products and the concentration of national strength in our country...."

"It will take at least more than a year....of course, for some high-end electronic technologies, it will take two years, or even more than three years." After a brief moment of contemplation, Roosevelt spoke.

"No, Your Excellency the President, you are wrong...."Liu Hua said confidently.

"According to China's current technical reserves and industrial conditions, at the latest one year, we will be able to crack all relevant technologies."

"Absolutely impossible....Mr. Vice President, are you lying....as I understand it, after many years of war, the Chinese government has almost no large military industry, let alone advanced military industry and new technologies. Under such harsh conditions, it is possible to suddenly come into contact with such high-end technology, and to crack it all..."Roosevelt seemed to have settled on Liu Hua, and said with a firm face.

However, Liu Hua is a person who makes the impossible possible. looked at the confident Roosevelt and said directly with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I am very sorry to tell you. Before the expedition to Japan, Japan's heavy industry base was indeed zero. However, after the expedition to Japan, along with various industrial equipment, military production technology, and advanced talents, it was continuously introduced into Japan. The level of development of our country in the military industry has reached the heyday of the Japanese government ...."

"With the help of a large number of Japanese military personnel and corresponding technologies, Your Excellency the President thinks, can what I just said be realized?"

"Since these core technologies of your country can only be ahead for a year at most, why not use this year to exchange a sum of dollars or gold from our country to solve the economic crisis caused by the end of the war in the major arsenals. Besides, now that the war is over, even if you sell these technologies to our country, you will not be a threat to your country..."

Looking at Liu Hua with a smile on his face in front of him, Roosevelt immediately fell into deep thought and began to think about the pros and cons.

Liu Hua knew that as long as he could add another fire now, Roosevelt in front of him would definitely agree to his request. Thinking of this, he continued to speak with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, if your country is in a difficult situation, I can go to Germany and buy it. As a defeated country in the entire Second World War, I believe that the current German government needs this unprecedented super order even more to restore the poor economic situation at home..."

Liu Hua was not mistaken, as soon as his agitated words fell, Roosevelt, who was still contemplative just now, began to be anxious. Directly opened his mouth in agreement.

"To Germany....no, Mr. Vice President, you have no need for this at all, I agree to your request and agree to sell these military-industrial technologies to your country. As for the exact price, it will be up to my Secretary of State, together with Chief of Staff Marshall, to discuss with your delegation, what you see. ”…,

"Thank you, Your Excellency, I believe that the cooperation between us will be very pleasant...."Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.

The first round of the confrontation, because of Roosevelt's intelligence mistakes, ended with Liu Hua's victory.

As the president of the United States, Roosevelt calmed down at the first time and was ready to move back from Liu Hua in front of him.

What Roosevelt didn't expect was that in the second game, his opponent Liu Hua could have had the idea of sending benefits to the U.S. government. After all, what needs to be negotiated in this game is what the other side needs to do.

The two were calculating with each other, and after a short silence, Liu Hua spoke first: "Your Excellency, regarding the investment of funds by our country and the investment of teachers by the United States to jointly establish a joint military and political university in China integrating the navy, army and air force, I don't know if you have any good suggestions..."

"The joint establishment of the Military and Political University....for the two teams, it is indeed a very good platform for military exchanges....on the whole, I agree....However, in terms of details..."Roosevelt seemed to have found a window to vent and directly stated his purpose.

Liu Hua smiled directly, and also said the huge benefits he had given: "Your Excellency, in terms of details, as long as it does not harm the interests of our government, I can express my consent on behalf of my government. ”

"At the same time, in order to show our sincerity, our government can appropriately open up some cities in the coastal areas within a period of five years, reduce the existing tariffs by 50 percent, and allow your country's goods to enter our country.

The U.S. government will open up the markets of some coastal cities in China and reduce tariffs by 50 percent. Not only for Roosevelt, but also for several major plutocrats in the United States, it also has a very huge temptation.

Although World War II ended, the European area, which had been bombed to the ground, made it impossible to dump all kinds of goods made in the United States. And China, a huge market with a population of more than 400 million, has unsurprisingly become a piece of fat in the mouths of American capitalists.

Liu Hua's initiative to open the Chinese market to the US government is already a very huge bait, not to mention that there is such a big bargain as reducing certain tariffs.

Liu Hua's words fell, and Roosevelt had already agreed in his heart. However, as the president of a country, after a short period of contemplation, he said with a dignified face: "Mr. Vice President, I also wish us a happy cooperation..."
