"Doctor, that's just my personal wish."

As if seeing Situ Leiden's doubts, Qin Wei said with a smile again.

"As one of China's highest-ranking generals, General, your personal aspirations sometimes affect the will of the entire Chinese government." Stuart Layden only shook his head, "And as far as I know, your influence on China's foreign policy has reached a startling level at the moment. We have even heard that even many of the representations made by your ambassador to the United States are directed by you behind your back. There's nothing wrong with that, right? ”

"Doctor, you're prepared." Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "I actually investigated this so clearly...... Isn't my name already registered with President Roosevelt? ”

"Mr. President, I am indeed curious about you." Stuart did not deny it, "And he has great admiration for you." Unfortunately, your position, and some of the actions you have recently pushed the Chinese government to do, are not in the interests of the United States. ”

"Really? Can I make this statement public? Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"Can't!" Situ Leiden shook his head directly, "And even if you make it public, we won't admit it." ”

"It seems that I don't have to worry about your country not cooperating with us." Qin Wei laughed again.

"The U.S. and China must cooperate, otherwise it will be difficult for Japan to gain a foothold in the Pacific after it gets the resources of Southeast Asia. However, compared to the United States, China's losses will be greater. Situ Leiden said in a deep voice. He had already learned from the telegram that Qin Wei had a very good vision in foreign affairs, but he didn't expect that Qin Wei was also good at seizing loopholes in other people's words. He just said that some of the actions promoted by Qin Wei are not in line with the interests of the United States, but in fact he wants to use this to put pressure on the other side. The average Chinese are the only angry literati who ignore it, but Chinese government officials will basically consider it carefully when they hear it. lest their words cause displeasure among these powers. After all, China has not had the guts to argue with the great powers for so many years. But Qin Wei was more direct than those angry literati, and actually asked him if he dared to make these words public...... Of course, it can't be made public. Publicly, does that mean that the Roosevelt administration has not been willing to cooperate with the Chinese to send troops to rescue the American troops in the Philippines, the reason is only because of the conjecture of Mr. President alone? For the sake of a conjecture, he dared to put the lives of tens of thousands of people at risk, how damn would Roosevelt be? But from this sentence "cannot be made public", Qin Wei got the answer he wanted: the US government is willing to cooperate, although it may be guarded, but they have no choice.

"At present, if China's strength is concentrated. Only a modern war of about 100,000 men can be fought. Qin Wei sighed again, "Doctor, this is China's strength. ”

"Are you kidding?" Situ Leiden laughed, "The weapons left behind by Timoshenge alone are enough for you to fight a high-intensity war with millions of people. ”

"What you're talking about is within the boundaries of China. And I'm talking about outside. "Qin Wei is colored." And the Soviets were very stingy. Although they were forced to give up all their weapons, they played a trick. Hands and feet have been done on many weapons...... I'm not talking about heavy weapons. We watched those things very closely, and they didn't dare to do it, but they did it with ordinary individual weapons. …… You don't know what to do, do you? A third of the Soviet-made firearms left behind by the Timoshenko group were left without bolts or firing pins! ”

"And this kind of thing?" Stuart Redden was stunned, "How could they do that?" It's a shame. ”

"Stalin felt that we were taking advantage of the fire, and he was furious. But he can't do anything about us. That's why this kind of unsavory little trick is adopted. And what about us? Lost so many things because of a momentary negligence, why are you embarrassed to talk nonsense everywhere? Qin Wei shook his head and sighed.

"But even so, you should be well supplied." Stuart said.

"In a campaign to recover Shanxi, we consumed more than 3,000 tons of large-caliber artillery shells alone. And the battle is still going on. Qin Wei asked, "Doctor." Do you want us to stop this war and turn all our resources to the South? ”

"As far as I know, the Chinese army is rarely so 'extravagant' on the battlefield!" Stuart Layden expressed disbelief.

"Your country's Air Force hero, Jimmy. Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, who was on the Shanxi front, drove his B-25 medium-range bomber to the Japanese positions on more than one occasion. Not so long ago, he was no longer able to deliver bombs, but napalm and large explosive packets! Do you know how sad this is for us? Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"When it comes to napalm, we also have a question." Situ Leiden avoided the question just now, "As far as we know, until now, napalm should only be a weapon owned by the Chinese military alone, so why did the Japanese also use this weapon with great lethality during the Philippine Campaign?" We need an explanation from your country, a reasonable explanation. ”

"Doctor, the U.S. military is also working on napalm." Qin Wei smiled, "Britain, Germany, Italy, and even the Soviet Union are all developing. The Germans also used this bomb several times in their recent campaign against the Soviet Union, and inflicted a lot of casualties on the Soviet troops. They even dropped such bombs in large quantities into the forests of the Soviet Union in order to force the Soviets hiding in them to come out and surrender. But the Soviets didn't say anything to us, do you know what this is for? ”

“……”

"Because they know that this kind of bomb can definitely be studied if they work hard. This is not a problem for any country with even the slightest bit of scientific prowess. Not to mention a technologically advanced country like Germany. Qin Wei said with a smile, "And Germany and Japan have always been allies, if the Japanese were not trying to attack Southeast Asia and obtain the resources of Southeast Asia, their main force might now be fighting with the German army against the Soviet Union!" So, even if the Japanese could not develop such bombs on their own, the Germans could supply them. There's nothing strange about that. ”

"We want to be able to get a recipe for napalm." Situ Leiden smacked his lips and said helplessly. He could hear the sarcasm in Qin Wei's words clearly, but he had nothing to say. The scientific research strength of the United States is not weaker than that of any other country, but the Germans and the Japanese have it, but they have never been able to develop the formula for such a powerful bomb, and this cannot but be said to be a failure.

"Yes." Qin Wei spread his hands, "We need 1 million tons, and at least 500,000 tons of oil supply every year after that." ”

"General Qin......"

"Don't worry, Doctor." Seeing that Situ Leiden had a slight change of color, Qin Wei laughed again, "These oils can be deducted from the loans provided by your country. ”

"China doesn't need so much oil." Stuart Layden shouted.

"Yes." Qin Wei said, "And it will be used more and more, especially the heavy oil used in ships and warships!" I'm already estimating this by the very smallest. ”

"No, no, no, General...... China can't use so much oil. Believe me! You want too much. Stuart Layden still shook his head.

"Last year, U.S. crude oil production was 150317 million barrels, equivalent to 205.91 million tons; This year is also coming to an end, and your crude oil production is 140418 million barrels, or about 192.35 million tons! Qin Wei snorted coldly: "Now that the war is coming, your crude oil production will only increase, and your army's crude oil consumption will also increase." In my estimation, the US military will consume at least 50 million tons of oil every year in the future! We only need one percent of yours, and you don't agree? ”

"But the Chinese army doesn't have so many mechanized weapons, you ......"

"We will soon have a more powerful navy and air force! And, as long as your government agrees to a loan, then we can quickly have one, if not more, mechanized troops. Qin Wei said, "I think this is a good thing for your country, especially for your arms dealers. Because they don't just get orders, they get a country's weapons standards! It's a long-lasting, at least decades-long business...... You don't suffer. ”

"We will supply you with up to 100,000 tons of oil per year." Stuart Layden still insisted.

"500,000 tons, not a gram is missing." Qin Wei said, "This is our minimum requirement. As for the specific needs of various types of oil, I will inform them and provide you with a detailed document. ”

"General, even if we agree to your request, do you have a corresponding reserve? This is oil, not grain, and cannot be stored casually. Stuart Redden shouted.

"I don't think that's a problem, and your country can provide us with adequate assistance in this regard." Qin Wei said as a matter of course.

“…… General, Americans are not philanthropists! "Stuart Redden was in a hurry. Qin Wei's words gave him a feeling that he had been falsely accused, and it was also a forcible accusation, and he was not allowed to have room for opposition at all.

"We're not philanthropists either. 30,000 American soldiers, plus a general, oh, and lieutenant generals, major generals or something, should be worth the price. And I seem to have heard that Hitler was very pleased with the recent performance of the Japanese, so he gathered a batch of new planes and sent them a batch of new planes. Tsk, I heard that these planes have now arrived in Novosibirsk, and if they are delayed a little longer, they will have to fly over the Philippines. Qin Wei pretended to sigh, "Doctor, the 'Hellcat' has a considerable advantage over the Zero, but against the German-made aircraft, their effectiveness may still need to be tested. You wouldn't wish the test was over Manila, would you? ”
