Chapter 389: Happiness Comes from Ignorance

Alice thought about it carefully, and after organizing the language in her mind, she said: "General Su, this time I was entrusted by the US government to convey one thing to you, that is, the special assistant to the US president, Professor Hawkins was entrusted by our US president to meet you and discuss some things with you, and now it is estimated that he has landed in Shanghai, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Chahar in a few days." ”

"The U.S. government? Professor Hawkins? Talk to me about something? This made Su Tong a little surprised, he has never dealt with the US government, at most he sells stockings in the United States, and then sells some refrigerators and other household appliances, and it doesn't seem to touch any interests of the United States.

Seeing Su Tong's thoughtful appearance, Alice on the other side couldn't help but snort, "What are you thinking about?" Professor Hawkins came to contact you on the orders of the U.S. government this time, so if you are careful, you will be fine, you don't need to think nonsense. ”

"Can you give me a little hint?" Su Tong turned his head to look at Alice and said, "Your U.S. government has sent people all the way here this time, so you don't want to contact me, right?" ”

Alice laughed again, and he found that he was laughing more than ever when he was with this Huaxia general.

"I don't know much about this, but I heard that it was because of the frequent appearance of American-style equipment in your Seventh Theater and the fact that your achievements in fighting the Japanese alarmed the U.S. government, so I sent someone to negotiate with you."

"Uh, it's broken!" Su Tong couldn't help but pat his thigh, he has plagiarized a lot of Yankee weapons over the years, not to mention far away, that is, the standard rifle of the Seventh War Zone, the Garand rifle, is an authentic American product, as well as M2 heavy machine guns, M1911 pistols, F4F 'Wildcat' fighters, M2 howitzers and other weapons are all active equipment in the United States, this time the main owner is here to collect debts.

Seeing Chief Su's uncertain face, Alice didn't think so much, she was just a messenger, and she didn't have anything to do with the words.

"Okay, I've already brought the words, and then I don't have anything to do, and you should fulfill what you promised me, right?" Alice's eyes flashed with a glint of eagerness.

Looking at Alice's eager expression, Su Tong had no choice but to temporarily put down his thoughts and go out with Alice and a few guards.

Zhangjiakou was carried out by Su Tong with reference to the urban planning of later generations, although Su Tong did not know what urban planning and design, but as long as he said the general idea and idea requirements, there were naturally special people to do it. Therefore, after more than two years of development, Zhangjiakou seems to have the appearance of a prosperous city.

"Oh, you see there are so many department stores, there are perfume stores there, oh God, the stockings here are only two dollars, and in our America they are twenty dollars a pair, Sue, your merchants are so greedy!" As soon as she arrives at the department store, Alice, who usually looks shrewd and capable, becomes a different person, and she can't get enough of shopping on the street.

Su Tonghe just silently stayed behind her, quietly watching Alice wander around like a little girl, but she was thinking about the arrival of the American envoy in a few days.

The U.S. envoy must have a certain purpose in coming to Chahar at this time, if there is no special purpose, Su Tong will definitely not believe it, Chief Su understands the virtues of those Yankees too well, and it is not profitable to say it early on People like them.

But what is there in Chahar that the United States is interested in? Engage in economic cooperation? No kidding, although Chahar has undergone several years of economic development, its economic capacity is more than a few streets worse than that of an old capitalist country like the United States. And what about military technology? Well, it seems that the B24 bombers exposed during the last bombing of Tokyo and the 'Northwest Tigers' tanks that frequently make a big splash in Siberia have attracted the attention of the United States.

Not to mention the nonsense that Chief Su is thinking about here, at this moment in an apartment in Shanghai, Professor Hawkins, who has traveled all the way from the United States, is talking to the US ambassador to China, Nelson. Jensen was sitting together at a small round table talking.

Hawkins took a sip of his coffee and asked, "Mr. Nelson, do you think the Japanese ambition is to occupy all of China in the end?" ”

"There is no doubt about this, this is an open secret in China or the world." Nelson shrugged his shoulders.

"Do you think the Japanese will succeed?"

"Oh? That's a question you ask me, because it's a question that only God can answer. But if you ask me my personal opinion, I don't mind making a comment," Nelson paused, and then a look of disdain appeared on his face: "Japan is a strong baby who has just gotten up, and now he can't wait to kill his adult neighbor who is already seriously ill." But they forgot that even the strongest baby was a baby, and he could not beat an adult anyway, even if the adult was seriously ill. This can be seen from the naval battle a few days ago! ”

"Hahaha" Hawkins laughed, "Nelson, how did I find out that what you said is so similar to the president, even the tone is carved out of a mold." ”

"Oh yes, that's my pleasure!" Nelson smiled too.

"So, Nelson, what do you think of the Chahar government's frequent use of our team's active equipment?" At this, Hawkins's face began to become serious.

Nelson also smiled, pondering for a moment before shaking his head, "Professor Hawkins, as far as I know, Chahar has not been in contact with any of our country's arms dealers, and the weapons they are using now are all produced by themselves. Now Chahar has initially established an economic system based on the combination of light and heavy industries, although their production capacity can not be compared with China, but I think the difference with Japan is also very limited, as far as I know, just last year, their annual steel output has reached two million tons, has reached the same production capacity as Japan. And they plan to build a large steelmaking plant in Baotou, Chahar, which will surpass Japan's annual steel output by four million tons. So is there still any guess about the outcome of this war? ”

"As for the question of the origin of their weapons, I think it is easy to explain, imitation! It's imitation, we in the United States of America are the greatest country in the world, and the weapons are also the most sophisticated, and I don't think it's surprising that Chahar bought a few of our weapons and copied them. Nelson affirmed, "Ever since they had gone crazy to snatch the more than a million deported Jews from Germany, and now that they can even develop their own airplanes, can't they make a few rifles?" ”

Hawkins silently listened to Nelson's analysis, although he felt that it made sense, but he just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it, shook his head and gave up this nerve-wracking question.

"Alright, old friend, don't think so much!" Nelson stood up and patted Hawkins on the shoulder, "Since you are in Shanghai, I must do my best to be a landlord, Shanghai is a good place, I will take you to see the reception jointly organized by our American Embassy and the embassies of several other countries tonight!" There are many famous ladies who often participate! ”

Looking at Nelson's blinking 'you know' man's eyes, Hawkins couldn't help but cry and laugh, but he couldn't refuse this friend's kindness, so he had to get into the car and follow Nelson.

In a splendid nightclub in the French Concession, hundreds of diplomats and so-called noblewomen from all over the world gathered, sipping champagne and red wine, eating steaks and various fruits carefully prepared by the chef, and slowly discussing this war that did not belong to them.

Looking at the wives of the ambassadors and the well-dressed men dressed in ornate furs, Hawkins shook his head and remembered in his mind what President Roosevelt had said: People are happy because of their ignorance.

"People are happy because of their ignorance!" That's right, Hawkins savored the words in his mouth, and drank the glass of wine in his hand in one gulp.

"Hawkins, let me introduce to you, this is His Excellency Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya, commander of the Japanese city defense force in Shanghai!" Hawkins's voice suddenly rang in his ears, and when he looked back, Nelson was accompanying the Japanese man with a mustache who thought he was wearing a Japanese military uniform and with the rank of general.

"Hello, Mr. Hawkins, welcome to Shanghai, and I wish you a happy stay in Shanghai!" Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace bowed slightly to Hawkins.

"Hello!" Hawkins also nodded lightly, and the two began to chat without a word, chatting and chatting about the war in China, Prince Hatohiko of Asakamiya was very disgusted by his arrogance and words and attitude, when Hawkins asked lightly about the naval battle in Peter the Great Bay a few days ago, Prince Hatohiko of Asakamiya had a little uncontrollable face, he just said bluntly: "That is just a temporary defeat of the Great Japanese Empire, and the Great Japanese Empire will soon destroy them." ”

After saying that, Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace quickly found an excuse and left.

Looking at the figure of Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, Hawkins shook his head, it seems that General Su's book "Chrysanthemums and Knives" is really accurate, Japan is really an extremely arrogant and extremely inferior nation.

Thinking of this, Hawkins became more and more interested in the ruler of Chahar, whom he had never met! R
