Chapter 410: Roosevelt and Oil Left
οΌ
Then these R&D personnel held a meeting on the spot, and Jia Xiaohou had studied in the United States, so English was not a problem at all. didn't even go back to the office, so Jia Xiaohou directly held an office meeting on the spot.
On the spot, the developers expressed some opinions on the test launch, especially the impact on the wings, jet device and accuracy. But Tu Qianjun, who was in the audience, listened for a long time and didn't figure out what kind of motivation they used.
Especially fuel and rocket engines, how did these guys come up with it?! Finally, after they finished the meeting, Tu Qianjun pulled Jia Xiaohou to the office and asked Jia Xiaohou.
"Uncle Jia, how did you solve the problem of fuel?! What about the rocket engine installation?! There is also ballistics, the problem of correction...... "Tu Qianjun's crackling and continuous problems suddenly rushed out, and he had been holding back for a long time just now.
And Jia Xiaohou couldn't help but be a little dazed when he began to listen to Tu Qianjun's words, and after Tu Qianjun finished speaking, he was silent and didn't say a word. Seeing Jia Xiaohou like this, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stupid! Could it be that this Jia Xiaohou is also unable to cross the crowd? !
"What bullshit rocket engine?! What the hell?! After being silent for a while, Jia Xiaohou burst into a rage! Facing Tu Qianjun, he roared angrily: "When did the engine be used for rocket launch?!" That's a car or a ship! How to use it on rockets?! β
Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, isn't this rocket propelled by an engine?! How can there be so much motivation then?! Seeing Tu Qianjun's appearance, Jia Xiaohou snorted angrily: "The old man has gone around for you, and then I understand!" What a rocket engine! Rockets never had any engines, they were just ignition jets......"
Tu Qianjun is really stupid now, gunpowder can have such a big thrust?! That rocket with its iron shell, tail and bomb doesn't look light! According to Jia Xiaohou's information, the rocket weighed about 42 pounds, which is about 40 catties.
Gunpowder alone can have so much power?! Seeing Tu Qianjun's doubts, Jia Xiaohou couldn't help but sigh and muttered alone: "If you don't learn, you can't do it...... If you don't learn, you can't do it! Commander, go back and read more books! Ask Mr. Chitsune for advice! Come on, I've got to work! You! Let's go back to Mukden! β
Saying that, Jia Xiaohou kicked Tu Qianjun out of his office in three or two clicks, and Tu Qianjun could only leave the office helplessly after being driven away by Jia Xiaohou. And Jia Xiaohou ran into the production room with the goods, and began to modify the various gunpowder ratios of the rocket according to the previous opinions of the R&D personnel.
Tu Qianjun was left behind, so he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and took Shang Dinan and the others to leave the R&D Institute and return to Fengtian City.
At the end of February, the U.S. business delegation, which had been in Manchuria for more than 10 days, finally announced the successful completion of the inspection. It has signed contracts with the Wehrmacht, including metallurgy, industrial machinery, metalworking, fuel power, petrochemical, transportation, agricultural machinery, agricultural irrigation engineering, automobile, ship and aircraft manufacturing...... and other aspects of the cooperation agreement.
Those agreements, not to mention Nanjing, are the Japanese are red and about to drip blood! That's a lot of dollars! At the same time, the Wehrmacht announced plans to send more than 3,000 students to the United States within two years.
These will include students and military officers, who will study at military academies and universities in the United States. Stanford University, Harvard University and other famous universities in the United States have also announced that they will set up examination centers in Mukden. Students who are interested in studying in the United States will be evaluated, and those who pass will be provided with a part of the scholarship to study in the United States.
At the same time, the United States announced that the first American workers who had come to work in Manchuria had been recruited. They will soon depart for Manchuria to build railways, minerals, docks and factories.
And those smelting machinery and so on have also been shipped, and will come to Manchuria with those workers. Moreover, several private banks in the United States announced at the same time that they would lend to Manchuria! For the construction of Manchuria and the entire three eastern provinces, including Inner Mongolia, provide loans of up to 500 million!
Even the rest of the private banks of more than a dozen countries, including Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, France, etc., announced at the same time that they would consider lending to Manchuria.
Looking at these dazzling news, fools know that Manchuria is about to rise! And as Tu Qianjun's neighbor, the Soviet Union is a little gnashing of teeth about this! And the USSR gritted its teeth understandably.
Before 1929, none of the major Western powers was willing to lend to the Soviet Union, and even the loans came with harsh conditions. But the emergence of a large amount of excess capital in the West during the economic crisis put the USSR in an advantageous position in the international financial markets. As a result, the Soviet Union was able to obtain a large number of loans from other countries, but this situation was broken by Tu Qianjun.
Tu Qianjun defeated the Japanese, and because of his previous experience in the United States, the Americans valued him. After all, the Soviet Union had an ideological problem with the capitalist countries. Moreover, in 1930, Moscow implemented a system of strict control over foreign trade, foreign exchange, and customs duties under the state monopoly, completely banning all activities of foreign exchange and negotiable stock exchanges.
This also made the capitalists of the countries quite dissatisfied and vigilant, so when Manchuria appeared and announced the beginning of cooperation with the United States, Britain and other countries, the eyes of the countries naturally turned to Manchuria.
In the eyes of the USSR, these loans would have belonged to them! It is a pity that after the United States, Britain and other countries gained certain benefits in Manchuria and launched various cooperation with Manchuria, not only the governments of other countries, but also private banks turned to Manchuria. The days of the USSR are no longer moisturized.
Looking at the steamer that was gradually moving away at the pier where he saw him off, Tu Qianjun smiled at Eisenhower beside him and said, "What?!" Ike, did you decide to stay after thinking about it?! β
Eisenhower nodded when he heard this, he actually did not think that he would stay and become a military attachΓ© in China. The previous arrangement for him was only to accompany Roosevelt to Manchuria and make an assessment of Tu Qianjun and the Wehrmacht. So that Congress can make a judgment on whether it supports it politically.
But Tu Qianjun moved him with just a few words, especially about actual combat. Whether it is the Philippines that he plans to go to after returning to China, or whether he continues to stay in the United States, there are not many opportunities to get in touch with actual combat.
This was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity, and Eisenhower smiled at Tu Qianjun and said: "The general is very happy that I have the opportunity to stay in Manchuria, and he hopes that I will have more opportunities to participate in actual combat in addition to teaching." He said: As a soldier, it is rare to have the opportunity to fight in real combat. β
After graduating from the Staff School, Eisenhower was commissioned to compile World War I materials, and his rigor was greatly appreciated by General Pershing, who was responsible for supervising the work at the time. Therefore, this time he will be selected to come to Manchuria.
"There will be a chance to fight, I can guarantee it!" Tu Qianjun smiled and whispered to Eisenhower: "At the end of this month, I will go to Germany. Those cubs in school, you have to bother more! β
Eisenhower was stunned when he heard this, but it was the first time he had heard someone call his soldiers cubs. But then he smiled and nodded with relief, and when the two left, Yan Zhengqing had already held a press conference on behalf of the National Defense Force.
He was joined at the press conference by Yang Yuting, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. Clear-sighted people know that although on the surface, the three eastern provinces are still subordinate to the Nanjing government. But in reality, everything is on its own.
For example, Yang Yuting said that he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but in fact his functions were equivalent to those of the Minister of Foreign Affairs! Even when the British and American countries released various news of cooperation, they used the word "national defense force" without mentioning the Nanjing government at all. This also shows the attitude of the nations.
They treated Manchuria differentially from the Nanking government, and they considered Manchuria to be partners. For Nanjing...... Hehe......
"Fellow journalists, welcome to today's press conference. What we are going to announce to you today is that port experts sent by the U.S. Congress came to Pulandian to investigate the planning and construction of the deep-water wharf of Pikou Port. After all, Yang Yuting has been in the United States for a long time, and he speaks English very well.
"After the investigation, our two countries will negotiate and bid for the construction of a deep-water terminal." Yang Yuting smiled at "Click! Click! The reporters who kept taking pictures chuckled and said, "This time we will build a large deep-water pier." Therefore, the conditions for tendering may be higher. Of course, this will have to wait until the port experts arrive. β
Then Yang Yuting took out a document and said in a deep voice to the reporter again: "And according to the arguments of the geological experts of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, they have discovered oil in Manchuria!" β
"Wow~" The reporters were originally just focusing on recording the so-called "port bidding", but Yang Yuting's words made the whole scene explode! In the past, Manchurian rumors said that there was oil, but it was just a legend.
Even the Japanese spent a lot of effort and personnel funds to find the oil, but how could the American geological experts say that they found it as soon as they came?! It's incredible!
"Mr. Yang Yuting, what I want to know is whether the discovery of oil you are talking about is a sign or a real oil field?!" A Japanese reporter stood up anxiously and asked Yang Yuting, "Where is the location?!" You know, the Manchurian Geological Survey took a long time, and even more than 30,000 yen was spent but no oil was found. How the hell did you find oil?! β
