Chapter 97 Neutrality Law
So far, the two fleets of the Xuebing Army, the Dongshan Fleet and the Haikou Fleet, have been quite large-scale. Although the total tonnage is not even comparable to that of an aircraft carrier of the Japanese, it is superior in number and speed. Moreover, in terms of submarine skills and torpedo boat skills alone, the cadet army must be far ahead of the world's leading world. The submarines of other countries are also equipped with naval guns, and the cadet corps has all changed to torpedo tubes. Moreover, because of the improvement of metal technology, the depth of the submarine is also amazing, which has surpassed the understanding of other countries in this regard.
Ouyang Yun had already set his sights on the Pacific War, which was about to take place in two years, while the Americans had no concept of this at all, and they had become Japan's largest arms supplier by the time they passed the amended Neutrality Act. The United States originally amended the "Neutrality Act" to take care of its two allies, Britain and France, but because of its practice of the principle of "cash and ship." In Asia, Japan was cheaper.
Just when Kurai Maliang's group of devil soldiers began to become welders at the Haikou Shipyard and began to serve the Navy of the Cadet Army, the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Gu Lianyun, Gu Yu and others were discussing countermeasures to some recent things in the United States. Gu Lianyun and Ouyang Yun will communicate regularly, and all her activities in the United States have a clear purpose because of Ouyang Yun's support behind her back. The last confrontation between China and Japan ended in a great victory for the Cadet Army. After inflicting great casualties on the Japanese in the United States, Gu Lianyun did not restrain herself, and the reason why she continued to direct her subordinates to assassinate the Japanese at the risk of being expelled by the US government was to weaken Japan's ability to operate in the United States. But now it seems that her ruthlessness has not yielded enough results. After the passage of the new "Neutrality Act," the Japanese increased the scale and intensity of purchasing materials in the United States, and a large amount of war resources were continuously transported to Japan from the United States.
"Wallace and I got angry, but they didn't care. I can see that between national interests and personal interests, the Skull and Bones Society only cares about personal interests. Godfather, do you have any good ideas? Gu Lianyun asked Gu Yudao.
Ouyang Yun didn't know what to do, because he failed to get rid of Koizumi Zhengfa, and because of his vigilance, the Japanese intensified their purchase of American resources, and now the monthly purchase volume is more than three times that of that time and space. According to their purchasing strength, by the time the Pacific War begins, Japan should be able to store enough oil and other strategic resources.
The student army is developing, and the Japanese are also developing, and because the Japanese have a thick enough industrial foundation, a high enough starting point, and a strong enough capital, in the case of coming and going, the student army and even China will definitely be pulled further and further away.
Gu Lianyun is worried about this problem now. She was friends with President Roosevelt and his wife, so she had the opportunity to show them the crimes committed by the Japanese in China. Therefore, Zhongenough did gain their sympathy. However, the affairs of the United States are not as good as those of China, and the president is not the only one, so although Roosevelt was very much in favor of restricting the buying and selling of the Japanese, he was restricted by the "Neutrality Act" and Congress, and could only exert personal influence on some businessmen and manufacturers, which was a drop in the bucket for China, and it was not enough to solve the problem at all.
Gu Yu, who has a deeper understanding of the American political system, said: "This can only be effective if you convince more members of Congress to introduce a certain bill." However, with so many members of the U.S. Congress, it is too difficult to move a small number of people to introduce a bill. In fact, it is not that there is no other way, for example, we first buy the scrap steel that the Japanese value or something, but now we have invested all our money in the planning of the aircraft carrier, and there is no extra money at all. ”
Almost every day, Japanese cargo ships leave the United States loaded with full cargo, which is too stimulating for Gu Lianyun. But as Gu Yu said, things in the United States are more complicated, and even the president can't intervene in some things, so so far they can only do it in a hurry.
Gu Lianyun: "Godfather, that White came to me again the day before yesterday." I don't think it's okay to follow the path of the U.S. government, but maybe it's the way to go with the military. ”
White is from the U.S. Navy, and he came to Gu Lianyun for the missile. As a representative of the US Navy, White hopes to cooperate with the Cadet Corps in developing the "missile" weapon, but to put it bluntly, they just want to obtain some missile research data that the Cadet Corps has already mastered without hard work.
Gu Yu: "It's for the sake of cooperating in the research of missiles, right?" What kind of weapon is this missile, it seems that the Germans are also making up their minds. ”
"I don't know what the missile is, Ouyang said that it is not clear in secret language, but he mentioned that once the missile came out, there would be no artillery in the world from then on. Since missiles are more powerful than artillery, it is no wonder that both the United States and Germany are bound to get them. Godfather, do you think that if the U.S. military comes forward, it may restrict sales to Japan? ”
"It's hard to say. Without war, it would be difficult for the U.S. military to influence government decision-making, let alone businessmen. Of course, if it is a supplier to the U.S. military, it is not impossible. It's just that since this missile is so advanced, Ouyang is afraid that he will not give it to the Americans. You have to ask him about this first. By the way, you must not disclose relevant information until you get the letter. The Skull and Bones Society's nose is too long, and they know that if they threaten the aircraft carrier, then we will be passive. ”
The Cadet Army's missiles were short-lived, but they didn't fool the spies with a keen sense of smell.
Dai Yongqiao adhered to Ouyang Yun's instructions and went underground again after the missile research was carried out again, although many spies temporarily lost the direction of continuing to spy on them, but because the Cadet Army had grown into a towering tree, the troubles caused by it could not be alleviated much. When Gu Lianyun and Gu Yu's father and daughter were discussing what to do to make the Americans sell less military resources to Japan, Ouyang Yun was continuously harassed by George and Connor Consul General of the German Consulate in Guangzhou, and he was on the verge of going berserk.
George is okay, after all, he is an old friend, although due to domestic pressure, he has to frequently go out of the General Headquarters of the School Army, and he is in Ouyang Yun's office, fortunately, he will not take any out-of-the-ordinary actions, so at most Ouyang Yun feels annoyed. That Connor was different, Germany won victories in Europe, and Britain and France could not raise their heads, which fueled his momentum. The German devils often used the Cadet Army to harbor and shield a large number of Jews, and even said that in order to exterminate these Jews, the Third Reich could not rule out the possibility of sending troops to the Far East. The implication is that at that time, the Third Reich may be wiped out by the way.
Ouyang Yun is not afraid of Japan, but he is sincerely afraid of Germany. The Soviets were fierce, right? In the Far East, he fought several battles with the Japanese army, which was known as the second strongest army in the world, and almost all of them were great victories. But so what? When you run into the Germans, that soldier is like a mountain of defeat! I am a time-traveler, a butterfly that has traveled through time and space, and it is hard to guarantee that I will not induce anything terrible. If he really lured the German devil to China because of this, Ouyang Yun felt that it was quite terrifying just thinking about it.
Therefore, this Connor has become the only guy Ouyang Yun has crossed over and given him a headache.
