Listening to Yang Shiqi's words, Xiao Zhenlei's eyes lit up and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Yang Shiqi said with a smile: "Since the Americans are short of money, and we have money in our hands, we can make a deal with them, what is left of the US government now?" Only the name and land are left, we can buy Hawaii and Alaska from them, Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean, the United States has only been getting it for more than 20 years, Alaska is in the northwest corner of Canada, and our country is separated by the Bering Strait, these two places are only two enclaves for the United States, and now that the Americans are short of money and eager to stabilize the country, it should not be very difficult for us to buy these two enclaves! And these two are enclaves for the Americans, but they have a great effect on our country, we have Alaska can reach into North America, and with Hawaii, we can control the route from the Americas to Asia, and we can also use Hawaii as a springboard to deter the Americas as a strategic offensive point! ”

No one expected that Yang Shiqi's idea was to buy Alaska and Hawaii, this idea is quite unique, they have never thought about this problem before.

Xiao Zhenlei listened to Yang Shiqi's words, and his heart was also extremely shocked, Yang Shiqi's idea was very bold, but he had to admit that this idea was very interesting, and it lingered in Xiao Zhenlei's mind.

Xiao Zhenlei pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Yang's idea?" ”

Liang Qichao frowned and said: "Hawaii is a good place, ships from many places on the American continent need to be supplied in Hawaii to Asia, which is a thriving place for the shipping industry, but Alaska is a bit of a chicken rib, it is a barren land!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei knew a lot about the situation in Alaska, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Liang doesn't know, Alaska is not a barren land. It is rich in natural resources, and its greatest role for us is not its natural resources, but its location on the North American continent! ”

Song Shijie said: "After such an analysis by the president and Mr. Yang, I think that the success of this deal depends on whether the Americans are willing to sell it to us, and if they are willing to sell it." How much do they want? And how much can we contribute? It's certainly best if both parties come to an agreement! ”

Xiao Zhenlei asked again: "What does Mr. Huizi think?" ”

Yang Du said: "I have no other opinions, this idea is very good, it is beneficial to us, I think it is feasible." And I would add that if we can get Hawaii, then the United States will have little role to play in Wake Island and Guam in the Pacific, and I think we can take advantage of the situation and ask the United States to sell them to us."

When Xiao Zhenlei heard Yang Du's words, he immediately thought of the Philippines again, and now the entire Philippine Islands are under the control of the Americans. However, if the news of the civil strife in the United States reaches the Philippines and is known to the indigenous people in the Philippines, it is feared that the United States' control over the Philippine Islands will be greatly reduced, and it may even lose control of the Philippines, and the United States may also directly abandon the Philippines.

But this is all for the future, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done one by one. You can't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry.

Xiao Zhenlei nodded: "The idea of adding this is good. I almost forgot! Okay, that's it, so let's meet with U.S. Presidential Envoy Wright first, and test him to see what his attitude is."

After these people left. Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette alone in his office and stood in front of the window thinking, Hua Guo had informed various countries a few days ago that a meeting of finance ministers of various countries would be held in mid-November to discuss the issue of the post-war international economic and financial order, and the matter of borrowing money from China would also be resolved at that meeting. But the United States couldn't wait, and still sent people over to discuss the loan after receiving the note, which shows that the situation in the United States is very critical, and the United States is already impatient with this loan, which is a good thing for China, at least during the negotiations, Xiao Zhenlei can use this as a bargaining chip to force Wright to make concessions.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhenlei called Lu Zhengxiang and asked him to bring Wright to see him in two days.

On the morning of October 18, Wang Yaqiao was reporting to Xiao Zhenlei on the details of the situation in ??????the United States. So far, the United States has produced a total of 15 major warlords, and there are many small warlords under these 15 big warlords, including four black forces, one Chinese force, one Indian force, one other mixed force, and the rest are all white forces, and now the US government only controls Washington and some areas around New York. The army's line of defense has also retreated to the northeastern coastline of the United States."

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "What areas did the Chinese forces control?" ”

"Mainly in some areas of California, mainly in Los Angeles, the Chinese forces have also sent people to contact us in the past few days, hoping that we can support them."

Xiao Zhenlei was quite interested and asked, "Who is the main person in charge of this Chinese force?" ”

Wang Yaqiao said: "It's to the court!" ”

"Oh? It turned out to be them! No wonder! Xiao Zhenlei is not surprised at all, among the Chinese in the United States, only Zhigongtang is more influential!

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a few seconds and asked, "How do they want us to support them?" ”

Wang Yaqiao said: "They lack weapons and ammunition, and they also lack officers to help them train the army!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei felt a little surprised and said, "Aren't there many people in the Kuomintang over there? How come they still lack officers? ”

"President, the Zhi Gong Court has seen the Kuomintang clearly, and now they don't care much about the Kuomintang people."

"I see!" Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and instructed: "I think this matter is feasible, you can arrange it, give them some weapons and ammunition, and find a few retired officers to send them over, but this matter must be carried out in secret, and our government cannot come forward yet!" ”

Wang Yaqiao hurriedly said: "Understood, understood!" ”

Before Wang Yaqiao left, Lu Zhengxiang came with the special envoy of the President of the United States, Wright, Xiao Zhenlei asked Wang Yaqiao to leave, and invited Lu Zhengxiang and Wright to the secretary Xiao Gao, who came in to report.

After the two came in, Wright bowed to Xiao Zhenlei: "U.S. President's Special Envoy Wright meets Your Excellency!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook hands with Wright, "Mr. Wright, welcome, please sit here!" ”

"Thank you!"

After sitting down, Xiao Zhenlei asked, "I don't know what Mr. Wright is doing in China on this trip?" ”

Wright said: "Your Excellency, I have been appointed by His Excellency President Wilson of our country to come to China to discuss the loan with your government, and I hope to get the support of His Excellency the President."

Xiao Zhenlei said: "Regarding the borrowing matter, the Chinese government has sent a note to the finance ministers of various governments, which will be discussed and resolved at the meeting of the finance ministers of various countries to be held in China next month. ”

Xiao Zhenlei knows that the situation in the United States is very serious, since the outbreak of civil strife, the various fleets of the US Navy fleet have turned to various warlords in order to survive and obtain supplies, which has made the US government almost control the navy, which has also indirectly caused the US 600,000 troops on the west coast of France to be unable to return, and at the same time, it has also caused the US authorities to almost be able to obtain supplies from the outside, so the situation of the US authorities is very bad, if you want to continue to control the 100,000 troops steadily, you must find a way to obtain enough supplies.

Wright's reaction really did not surprise Xiao Zhenlei's expectations, only to see Wright say: "Your Excellency President, if it were not for the emergency, our government would definitely send the Minister of Finance to attend the meeting, but our government really can't wait for the meeting to be held before getting the loan to transport back the materials that our country needs."

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and shook his head: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Wright, since our government has promised to solve the problem of borrowing from various countries at the meeting of finance ministers of various countries, it cannot lend to your country before this alone, which is unfair to other countries, I believe that Mr. Wright should not embarrass us, after all, this involves the integrity of one government to other countries!" ”

Wright was extremely anxious when he heard Xiao Zhenlei's words, and he said eagerly: "Your Excellency President, can't you be accommodating?" There must be some other way! ”

Xiao Zhenlei smoked a cigarette and frowned, pretending to think for more than ten seconds before saying to Wright: "Mr. Wright, don't worry, I can't answer you about this matter now, wait for me to hold a high-level meeting to discuss and then reply to you, what do you think?" ”

Wright could wait, but his time was limited, so he was concerned about when the results would be available, and asked, "I wonder when Your Excellency the President will be able to give me an answer?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "In three days, what do you think?" ”

Wright said anxiously: "It's been too long, Your Excellency the President, can you convene a meeting now, this loan is related to whether our authorities can continue to support, if our government continues to support, then a series of agreements signed between our country and your country will be invalid, and many of your country's interests in our country will not be guaranteed!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei doesn't care about these at all, for him, losing some interests in the United States is nothing, as long as the United States is a potentially huge threat, even if the loss of interests is great, he thinks it is worth it. And now, his idea is to cut off a big piece of fat from this behemoth of the United States before the whole of America.

"Not now, so let's do it, I will give you an answer the day after tomorrow, you rest in the capital for two days first, and General Lu will arrange your daily life!"

Wright had no choice but to get up and leave with Lu Zhengxiang. (To be continued......)
