Ouyang Yun's place where they are resting now is the only foothold of the Cadet Army Representative Office in Washington. The villa is located in a well-known affluent neighborhood in downtown Washington, D.C., just a few kilometers from the White House.

He and George got out of the villa, and the group was divided into two cars and sped southeast at a fast pace. Half an hour later, I came to the gate of a manor.

George has always seemed very nervous, and when he spoke in the car, he was incoherent for a while, and when he got out of the car, he looked around, looking like a thief.

Ouyang Yun was very annoyed when he saw this, and he couldn't wait to go up and kick it, he scolded in a low voice: "George, can you take out some courage?" If you're like this, you can cause trouble if anything happens. ”

George muttered in a low voice: "If this is sent and discovered, but, it's treason!" ”

"If you really want to be discovered, then stay in China, have Lao Tzu to cover you, and protect you for a lifetime. Besides, since Joseph is willing to see me, he is absolutely sure to get involved in this matter, what are you fooling about? ”

George is not a timid person, it is only because the stakes are so great that he shows that he has a lot of gains and losses.

Ouyang Yun was inspired by the "St. George" cruise ship to have such a bold idea. George is now playing the role of the second intermediary, and when Ouyang Yun first started talking to him about this matter, the Yankees behaved quite uprightly. However, he had a handle in Ouyang Yun's hands, and at that Christmas party, it was precisely because of his cooperation that Ouyang Yun was successfully drugged by Takahashi Ryoko. Although it seemed that Ouyang Yun took advantage in the end, Ouyang Yun said cruel words the next day, and sooner or later he would have to find George to get the account back. And now, it's time for George to pay the bill. It's not that George can't cheat and not pay it back, but in that case, he won't want to mix in Guangzhou in the future - George was forced to be helpless, and finally had to agree to this request.

This is a typical American-style private manor, there is a vicious dog tied to the door of the manor wall, George and Ouyang Yun and his party just approached the door, and the big dog barked wildly. A few minutes later, the door to the villa in the manor opened, and a middle-aged white man walked out with the guidance of a black man. He stopped the big dog with a soft snort, and then asked the black servants to open the gate of the wall and welcome them in.

At the door of the villa, George asked Liu Kui and the others to stay there, and then took Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang into the living room of the villa with the middle-aged white man. The meeting was held in secret, and George was asked not to reveal Ouyang Yun's identity, so after the two sides sat down, he only introduced the middle-aged white man to Ouyang Yun in English: "This is Wallace, he can help you get what you need." As for the price and the specific means of operation, you can talk about it yourself. ”

Ouyang Yun had already taken a closer look at Wallace at this time, and saw that the other party was about forty years old, and his appearance was not outstanding, but his eyes were very bright, and he was a lot more sure in his heart. He smiled and said in English: "Hello, Mr. Wallace, we are here to know that you must already be clear, and we now want to know your exact answer." ”

When Ouyang Yun was in a large number of Wallace, Wallace was also looking at him and Chen Shichang, and quickly distinguished the identity of the master and slave of the two. He said: "There is no problem on my side, but it is necessary for me to know the specific quantity you need and the delivery time." ”

"Is it possible for an aircraft carrier?"

Wallace shook his head: "It is possible to have a destroyer and a cruiser, but in the case of an aircraft carrier, I am not capable of doing it." ”

"We're willing to give more."

"No, no, you misunderstood what I meant, it's not about money, it's about the fact that the aircraft carrier involves too many aspects, and it doesn't work operationally. If you have to have an aircraft carrier, there is nothing I can do. ”

"Oh well. In a year and a half, you can get a few ships at most, destroyers and cruisers are preferably halved, and attack submarines, as many as we want. ”

The glint in Wallace's eyes flickered twice, and he became more and more attentive, he thought for a moment, and replied: "Three destroyers, three cruisers, attack submarines I can't guarantee you now, I can only try my best." What do you think? Still satisfied? ”

"Can't it be more?"

Wallace smiled and looked at George and said in anxious and fast American English, "George, are their identities reliable?" I don't know the rules of the industry at all. ”

George's face has always been not very good, and at this time he smiled helplessly and wryly: "Their identity is definitely fine, it's just the first time to do this business." ”

"They're Japanese, aren't they? Is there a rush to restore the combined fleet? Hehe, I have a great appetite. ”

The two Americans communicated quickly and quickly in American English, Wallace thought that Ouyang Yun and they might not understand, but they didn't know the way, Ouyang Yun's American English was also very authentic, and it was not difficult to understand these words at all. And because of his quick answer with George, Ouyang Yun's heart became more and more relaxed.

Wallace's full name is Wallace. Whitney, this person is the result of the battle between the Fox Pupil Foreign Ministry and the Japanese secret services in Hong Kong. Don't look at Wallace who doesn't serve in the U.S. government, or even have any prominent work experience, he is actually a member of the American mysterious organization Skull and Bones. His family was a well-known tycoon in the railroad and arms manufacturing industry. Wallace had a lot of hands, and at one point he was responsible for Japan's purchase of scrap steel in the United States. Ouyang Yun believes that as long as he is given enough benefits, then it should not be a problem to get a few ships from the US Navy shipyard, and this will definitely be cheaper than buying them through formal channels.

Wallace had a lot of dealings with the Japanese, and Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang deliberately misled in this regard, so Wallace thought they were Japanese.

George didn't dare to reveal Ouyang Yun's true identity, which was also quite dangerous for him. He said noncommittally, "Wallace, are you really sure?" This is no joke. ”

"Assuming they can afford it, of course." Wallace said, his eyes fell on Ouyang Yun's face, and he said slowly: "Friend, this is already my greatest ability. If you're really sincere, let's talk about the specific price, as well as the delivery method. ”

After nearly half an hour of bargaining and discussion on the delivery method, Ouyang Yun left three checks for half a million US dollars as a deposit and prepaid funds for pre-activities, and then left the mysterious manor with Chen Shichang and the others.

Ouyang Yun was very satisfied with this deal - three destroyers with a displacement of about 2,000-5,000 tons, three cruisers with a displacement of about 5,000-12,000 tons, and at least one attack submarine, the price was a total of 80 million US dollars, and the commission was 20 million US dollars. In other words, the total cost is 100 million. Of course, it was claimed that all of these ships had major design flaws or major mistakes in the manufacturing process, and could not be put into active service, so they could only be disposed of as scrap. The U.S. Navy has to thank Wallace for creating benefits and reducing losses for scrap products at this price.

On the way back, Chen Shichang raised his thumb and said excitedly to Ouyang Yun: "Commander, this move is high, if you really want to achieve it, you will make a lot of money." ”

Ouyang Yun was also in a very high mood, and he smiled: "It's too early to say this, only when you really get your hands on it, can you really achieve it." ”

"It should be fine, I think Wallace can be trusted."

"Shi Chang, remember, you can't tell anyone about this, including you, Senior Sister Gu."

"I know."

When Ouyang Yun returned to the villa, Gu Lianyun and Pan Meiren were sitting in the living room, each holding a cup of coffee, waiting for him with strong spirits.

At this time, it was almost 12 o'clock, Ouyang Yun frowned slightly, and asked, "It's so late, why don't you rest?" ”

"Aren't you worried yet, where have you been?" Gu Lianyun stood up, helped him take off his coat, and asked.

"I went to meet a guest with Shichang, and while I was leaving, there was nothing wrong, right?"

Pan Meiren brought over a cup of coffee and said, "Let's take a sip of coffee." It's nothing, I'm just worried about you with my eldest sister, after all, this is the United States, not as good as Guangzhou, we should still pay attention to it. ”

Ouyang Yun took the coffee with a smile and took a sip, and said, "I don't think so, we are guests now, and the host will be responsible for our safety." Moreover, our trip is relatively confidential, and there are very few people who know about it. If you want me to say, the safety factor is only higher than in Guangzhou. ”

Gu Lianyun approached and asked softly, "Ouyang, aren't you angry with me?" ”

"Angry with you? Am I so unreasonable? Aren't you also for our aircraft carrier cause? Okay, let's go to sleep, I'm going to the White House tomorrow, I can't do it if I don't have energy. ”

Gu and Pan glanced at each other, the latter gave the former an encouraging look, and the former gritted his teeth and said, "Ouyang, I have something to tell you." ”

"What? Say no tomorrow? I'm a little tired right now. ”

"It's okay in a while, it's like this......" Gu Lianyun said Eleanor's plan as it was.

Originally, Eleanor's plan was to surprise her and Ouyang Yun. But because of the fundraising incident, she was worried that Ouyang Yun would not cooperate at that time, so when she went back to the room with Pan Meiren just now, she couldn't help but hold her to discuss. Since Pan Meiren came to the United States with the group, Gu Lianyun did not plan to specialize in beauty alone. When she was still at sea, she had already reached an agreement with Pan Meiren and decided to be a bride together. After some discussion, the two of them agreed that it was better to tell Ouyang Yun first, so as not to embarrass everyone if he did not cooperate at that time.

After Ouyang Yun listened to Gu Lianyun's narration, he looked at her and then at Pan Meiren, for two minutes, there was no expression on his face.

Gu Lianyun and Pan Meiren glanced at each other, the latter didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, and the former felt a pain in his heart, and the tears rolled down. She swallowed her grief and said, "If you don't agree, forget it, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Eleanor tomorrow and let her dispel this idea." With that, she wiped away her tears, turned and ran towards the door of the living room.
