Chapter 315: Lobbying
The American political, economic, scientific, cultural, entertainment and even churches have shown great enthusiasm for this big man who can be said to be hot in the whole world.
Boss Yang, who had just been a hundred thousand Japanese, wore the knightly insignia of the Order of Medicaries and the Grand Cross of the British Knighthood, and he could be said to be in the limelight in the United States, describing the damage of war to the human world with the same compassion on various occasions every day.
"Peace, we need peace, please let war leave this world, we don't want blood, we don't want children crying, the explosion of cannonballs tears apart pure love, the poisonous gas of sin blackens the verdant earth, the smoke of gunpowder smokes away the chirping of birds, I look at the world in blood and fire in pain, my heart is calling for peace." Knight Yang said on TV with tears in his eyes, as if he hadn't done any of these jobs.
He even went to the archbishops of the American provinces and the presidents of the universities to jointly appeal to Britain and Germany to sit down calmly and resolve their differences through negotiations, not paying the slightest attention to the fact that the German bombers had just dropped more than 500 tons of napalm on London just a day earlier, killing and wounding more than 20,000 civilians.
Of course, these performances also mean that it is those business predators who really dominate the United States, in fact, these people do not want to fight now, and now they have made a lot of money in the war, and there is no need to take risks, while constantly selling everything that can be sold to the British, and even leasing American warships to the British to escort merchant ships. While sending all kinds of raw materials to his two biggest enemies, especially in Asia, where supplies from steel to crude oil were open to Japan.
"If the Japanese go to war with the Soviet Union, then we will have one more place to make a fortune, so the priority now is the railway, and in order to maintain deterrence, we also need to increase the number of heavy bombers in North China. Liberators or Aerial Fortresses can be increased, and the number should be increased to more than 2,000, and there will be long-range fighters with a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers, and with these things in North China, we can protect the shipping routes with bombs, and then we can send a steady stream of munitions to the Soviet Union by rail.
Once the Japanese are caught in the two theaters of the USSR and Southeast Asia, they will no longer be able to threaten the United States in any case, and then we can wait until they are exhausted. You can go up and give a gentle push, and you can get the biggest victory at the least cost, just like we did in World War I, and even better. "Big Boss Yang to Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont... The people at the helm of these super-conglomerates talk eloquently.
These people fully understand his peaceful thoughts, and if they really fight. Whether it is with Germany or Japan, his JY business will definitely be greatly affected. Of course, there may be a supplement from the domestic market in the United States, but the demand for those luxury goods will definitely be greatly reduced, and you will not like war yourself.
"Yang, what if the Soviets don't need us? You must know that they themselves have a huge industrial base, whether it is oil or steel, they do not need to supply it from the outside world. "John. Davis. Rockefeller said.
"Tested by the Soviet-Finnish war. Who would have thought that the Soviets would be able to hold off the Germans?" Yang Feng said with a smile: "They have a sufficient industrial base, but if these industrial bases become Germans, what will their raw materials rely on to turn into weapons at that time?"
After the tragedy of 1932, the Ukrainians will welcome the Germans as they would liberators, I can assure you. If the Germans attack the Soviet Union, before they set foot on Russian soil, they will crush the Soviets as they crushed the French in France, and when they enter Russia, the war will really become a war, if there is any more of our arms supply, the Soviets will use their bones and blood to build a strong embankment, when the Germans uselessly exhaust their strength on the vast land of the Soviet Union, that is when we enter the war, and the Japanese in the Far East will also drive straight in, but where can they go, It's up to us to allow them to go. Yang Feng said with a smile.
As for where the future will go, there is no need to be too entangled, anyway, if it was not for the mustache to take the initiative to declare war on them, it is estimated that it would be difficult for the US Congress to pass a resolution declaring war on Germany.
Yang Feng spent a month in the eastern part of the United States, then flew to Los Angeles, where he had to fulfill his promise to Roosevelt that Lockheed would have to develop a jet fighter for the United States, and if he didn't, he would have to disclose his jet engine patents and then have other companies participate in the development.
Of course, it is possible to build a jet fighter for them, but what kind of one to build, this needs to be carefully considered, first of all, this must be a large fighter, too big to fit on a warship, this is a must, and secondly, this plane must be very expensive, more expensive than a double demon, preferably hundreds of thousands of dollars a piece, so that the US Congress has to grit their teeth in distress when appropriating funds, as for the performance, it does not need to be too good, the speed of more than eight hundred is enough, it is best to have poor handling, and the range is short, The engine life is only 100 hours, anyway, try to make them feel like it's a chicken rib.
And it has to drag on the development for a little longer, it's better not to get it out before the Japanese attack them, since that's the case, then leave everything to Johnson and they will be responsible for themselves, anyway, he has no shortage of aircraft designers here, if the Americans are in a hurry, then the military can send people to participate, judging from the timetable for the mustache to study Me262, it is estimated that it will take at least three years to get such a fighter out, and this time is more satisfactory.
In this case, there is no need to give them too much help, let Kelly Johnson and Whittle play slowly, anyway, the centrifugal jet engine they have researched by themselves can't make anything too good, to be honest, now he has little interest in supporting the American aviation industry, for him Lockheed's historical mission has been completed, now everything that can be built here can be made in Beiping, and the quality is not inferior to here, and its hegemony in the American aviation industry has been formed, Many well-known American companies have disappeared under its clutches, and the rest are all struggling to survive in its shadow, and may be able to compete with it in a single field, but even Boeing and Curtis cannot match it in a comprehensive way.
Yang Feng quickly ended his trip to the United States, and then went to a place that everyone who followed his itinerary never expected, and he went to Brazil.
In Rio de Janeiro, the distinguished guest was greeted by no less than any head of state, greeted by the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs at the airport, escorted by a large group of military police, rushed to the presidential palace, personally received by the powerful President Vargas, and then after a week of various performances, after the enthusiasm of his visit subsided, the special plane landed in a small town in the Amazon rainforest.
Of course, this is not a small town, more precisely, it is a military base, theoretically this belongs to the territory of the indigenous people, not to mention outsiders, even the army of Brazilian Zhengfu has to be careful here, but now it is full of tens of thousands of Chinese, and these Chinese can be said to be fully armed.
This belongs to the Amazon mining company, two years ago, the Amazon mining company, from Brazil Zhengfu bought the mining exploration rights around this 10,000 square kilometers, and then under the protection of the mercenaries of the Ambrera company, set up a base here, and bribed the local natives with medicines and arms, prohibiting any outsiders from entering this forest, and then in the name of hiring Chinese laborers, more than 10,000 Chinese were transported from the United States, Southeast Asia, and even Cuba, and these Chinese were equipped with the latest weapons, Garand semi-automatic rifles, Browning automatic pistols, even light and heavy machine guns, M1 howitzers, mortars, it can be said that the level of equipment even surpasses that of the Brazilian army.
However, there was no official reaction from Brazil to this kind of behavior, which was clearly beyond the scope of a mining company and a security company, and even the reports about it were suppressed by forceful means, of course, this is all due to the dollar, and after understanding that these people came to Brazil only to train, President Vargas is naturally willing to make some extra money.
After Yang Feng's plane landed, he was immediately shocked by the outfit of the Hongmen overseas Chinese who greeted him outside, in addition to the standard dress of the rainforest such as shorts and half-sleeves, each person actually had a big hat on his head, just like the Chinese pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
"Just hand this place over to a young man, you don't have to suffer this kind of crime here." Yang Feng looked at Situ Meitang who came to greet him with some amusement, this old man is now dressed in the same way, and he still has a pistol on his waist, but he looks weird with that white beard.
"Don't worry if you don't come and see, the Hongmen brothers will rely on these people in the future." Situ Meitang said somewhat proudly, this is not false, Hongmen has been tossed for hundreds of years, betrayed again and again, and had to live in a foreign country, and now he finally has a chance to grab a piece of land alone, which is naturally extremely cherished.
