Chapter 2 Fujian Strategy (5)
A day later, Ouyang Yun and Bonn Sr. got on the L-19 and embarked on a journey to the United States.
When the fighter plane entered the altitude of 10,000 meters, despite the preparations in advance, the elder Bonn still vomited a mess. Ouyang Yun, on the other hand, looked like he was nothing.
Roosevelt's personal representative was named Bi Luoxing. He was by Ouyang Yun's side, and he showed a very strong interest in this representative of China's new power from the beginning.
Compared to the identity he represents, Ouyang Yun is undoubtedly too young. This is not the most curious part of Bi Luoxing. What he felt most incredible was Ouyang Yun's sophistication in dealing with people.
In the minds of Americans, ancient China was undoubtedly an ignorant and uncivilized country. The country may have prospered, but for now, the term China is closely associated with backwardness. Of course, Ouyang Yun and the Cadet Army behind him were an accident - a big accident, which can be understood from penicillin and L-19.
An ancient and ignorant country, but with the most advanced technology, it is Ouyang Yun who promotes the harmonious coexistence of these two essential contradictions.
Bi Luoxing himself, the first time he took the L-19, he vomited a mess. This also made him full of expectations for Ouyang Yun's performance after boarding this kind of fighter for the first time. However, the latter disappointed him. Ouyang Yun not only did not vomit, but also looked quite calm, and even gave Old Bonn some practical anti-motion sickness suggestions.
The fighter flew all the way south, refueled in Hawaii and then flew straight to Washington. When the bottom of the fighter plane appeared as a deep blue ocean, Ouyang Yun pointed to a chain of islands below and said to Old Bonn: "Those small islands are all our Chinese!" Someday, I will let our warships cruise between them and the mainland, and no one will be allowed to watch them. ”
Old Bonn had just recovered from the continuous vomiting, and he had no energy to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers below, and only nodded quietly when he heard the words. Bi Luoxing turned his head and smiled secretly.
Bi Luoxing should be a cultivated gentleman, so Zhilu avoided Ouyang Yun and didn't let him see his ill-intentioned smile. However, Ouyang Yun still saw it. I know what this American means with a deep smile - China's current naval strength is too weak, not to mention the Cadet Army. Although they fully accepted the naval forces of the former Cantonese Army, they were only able to get their hands on the four torpedo boats. To rely on such a small-tonnage, single-capability warship to traverse the oceans is like expecting a group of ants to defeat an elephant.
Ouyang Yun also smiled. As far as the current situation is concerned, his speech just now is indeed suspected of being a fool's dream, but what about five or ten years from now?! He had this confidence that he would be able to assemble a navy, and it would be dark blue. He secretly swore in his heart: Grandma, Lao Tzu just doesn't eat or drink, even if he loses his underwear, he has to make a deep blue navy. Otherwise, once we wait for the reunification of the whole country, it will be very difficult to think about this matter when the time comes.
Continuous flight, the last stage, Ouyang Yun spent it in his dreams.
At that time, he was used to airplanes and flying in the air, but he didn't have a jet lag. When Gu Lianyun and his entourage, who had been waiting for nearly three hours, saw him at a military airport in the suburbs of Washington, the former felt in a trance in the face of him in high spirits.
How could he see his close lover, Ouyang Yun's face couldn't help but appear with a warm smile, and he walked straight to Gu Lianyun, he smiled and said, "Why, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you don't know me anymore!" ”
Gu Lianyun immediately woke up, and her face turned red. instantly entered the role, glanced at him, and said: "Others are sluggish when they take such a long plane, who would have thought that you would still be so energetic." You're such a monster. ”
Except for Gu Lianyun and his party, Washington did not arrange anyone else. Gu Lianyun's subordinates are mostly Chinese and Yuan Xuebingjun, and everyone knows the relationship between them, so naturally they will not come up at this time to interrupt and destroy the atmosphere.
"It's not because I want to see you!" It was rare to say a witty word, looking at the woman's red and shy expression, and the fatigue of the journey disappeared all of a sudden. After joking and shaking the woman's soft little hand, Ouyang Yun pretended to be upright and said, "Introduce me to the others, how to say it, they have all worked hard for the cause of the Apprentice Army for too long!" ”
There is some nostalgia for the feeling of being held by him, but in public, the woman is not good at acting too numb, so she cheered herself up and put on a businesslike look, and she introduced him one by one to the relevant people who accompanied her to pick up the airport. At the end, he reminded: "The leaders of the Chinese and overseas Chinese from all over the United States have rushed to Washington to prepare a dinner party, and you are not allowed to dine at the White House in the evening!" ”
"Of course, no matter how good the meal prepared by Roosevelt, how can it be as good as the one prepared by his wife?!" whispered this sentence in her ear, and after a woman's heart was softened, Ouyang Yun walked to the others, put on a smiling face, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with them one by one.
Ouyang Yun came to the United States this time, and for some unknown reasons, both sides were very low-key. This also avoided the grand welcome ceremony, but made Ouyang Yun feel relaxed.
Those who are qualified to follow Gu Lianyun to pick up the plane are all the backbone of the Cadet Army in the United States, and many of them exist as representatives of the Cadet Army in the joint venture factory. A considerable number of them had never seen Ouyang Yun, so when they saw the legendary leader for the first time, they were all a little excited. Among them, a female overseas Chinese who was about twenty-five years old held Ouyang Yun's hand and shook it for a long time, until she found that her top boss frowned deeply, and then she was embarrassed to let go. And after Ouyang Yun and Gu Lianyun walked over, she said to the other woman beside her: "Little chief is so handsome!" What a blessing the eldest sister is! ”
White House, president's office, Roosevelt in a wheelchair, accompanied by his wife Edith, first expressed a warm welcome to Ouyang Yun's arrival, and then began the first round of negotiations after the first meeting between the two sides.
One is an elderly man in a wheelchair with a disability; One was a young man in a breezy military uniform, and the two hands were clasped tightly together - a photojournalist from Time magazine seized the opportunity to capture the footage of the two shaking hands.
President Roosevelt was keenly aware of the development potential of the Xuebing Army, a Chinese warlord-like collective, from the very beginning, so he overrode public opinion and favored it. And it turned out that he was right. Not to mention the development of the Xuebing Army in China, in the United States, several of its subordinate enterprises have already had considerable influence in the United States and even the whole world, and this does not include some joint ventures that have not been made public.
The U.S. and China have different conditions. In China, for example, television sets were promoted by the Cadet Army through collective purchases; In the United States, because ordinary people have good purchasing power, the sales of new products such as televisions are quite hot. The cooperation with RAC company, although Xuebingjun only accounted for 30% of the shares, still obtained considerable profits.
As for the wholly-owned pharmaceutical companies, because they have mastered the most advanced pharmaceutical technology, their profits are even more impressive. This has even caused concern among the top levels of the United States that it will form a monopoly and hurt local pharmaceutical companies.
This is one of the reasons why President Roosevelt was eager to meet with Ouyang Yun. Of course, the most important task of the meeting between the two sides is still in the area of cooperation in military technology.
One of them is the transfer of technology for the Jiguang tank.
Here, one has to mention the intelligence system of the United States. It is precisely because of their activity in China that the name of the Jiguang tank has floated across the ocean and is recognized by the US military circles. Not only that, the Great Wall off-road vehicle has also attracted strong attention from the US military circles, especially the Army.
Plagiarism is shameful. The most shameful thing about plagiarists is that they have crushed the real inventors and manufacturers of these "pirated materials" in history.
Of course, Ouyang Yun will not admit this point of view.
Although the Xuebing Research and Development Institute is well protected, it has still entered the eyes of some high-level national leaders, and as an institution with the highest level of scientific research in the world, Ouyang Yun has successfully diverted his attention and avoided becoming the target of public criticism.
Regarding the cooperative relationship between the Cadet Army and the U.S. government, Ouyang Yun has a clear understanding of the mutual use of each other. Therefore, although before leaving, Jiang Shuren and others repeatedly instilled in his ears such a concept: I hope to get more substantial support from the US government. However, he himself knew that when World War II had not yet completely started and Germany, Japan, and Italy had not yet threatened the actual interests of the United States, it was only a wishful thinking that he wanted the Americans to help China deal with Japan. The main purpose of his current visit to the United States is to obtain some basic equipment and technical personnel from the United States.
Roosevelt also had a deep understanding of this. No matter how much the MPs clamore, they need to squeeze more value out of the cadet army. His concept is that, for now, this kind of partnership is what the United States needs, and if it wants to obtain greater benefits, it will have to make a decision after meeting Ouyang Yun.
If Ouyang Yun was not a shrewd person, he was completely sure that he would fulfill the wishes of the parliamentarians; On the contrary, let's be honest and talk about things and see if we can strengthen the in-depth cooperation with the Cadet Research and Development Institute on the basis of the current framework and foundation.
In the history of World War II, Roosevelt received a fairly high rating. However, there is a premise, that is, on the premise of not betraying its own interests, the United States is willing to provide assistance to some countries in their anti-fascist struggles.
Ouyang Yun, as a person who has traveled through history, has a deep understanding of this. Therefore, the meeting between him and Roosevelt was destined to be a contest between two foxes who knew the roots.
An old fox, a newborn calf-like fox, which one is more powerful?
It's worth the wait.
