Qingyuan tungsten ore industry has been under construction since last year, and the main sales object is Germany. Every month, at least one freighter from Europe comes to load tungsten ore at the port of Fuzhou. George has a big opinion on this. Between the German government and the Jews, his position was very firm, so he had always persuaded Ouyang Yun to give up dealing with the rogue government of Germany. At this time, he took the initiative to let Wynn and others invest in Qingyuan tungsten mine, just to cut off the economic and trade exchanges between the student army and the German government.

Tungsten ore has a wide range of applications in the modern steel industry, and the demand in the United States is also very large, and its profits are certainly very considerable, which makes Wynne and others very tempted. If it weren't for Wallace's special attention, I believe that someone would have jumped out at this moment and taken the initiative to take this matter.

"But I heard that Qingyuan is very close to the Japanese-occupied area. Your Excellency, if we really invest in Qingyuan tungsten mine, how can you ensure the safety of our investment? After thinking about it for a while, Wynne asked the question, and then said, "We have come all the way from the United States, and we don't want to go home empty-handed. Your Excellency, there is something I did not want to say, for fear that you would misunderstand. But now, I think that since you are friends with us, from the standpoint of friends, we should still be honest with each other. Your Excellency, the aircraft carrier under construction of your army is currently in considerable trouble. ”

"Huh?" Ouyang Yun pretended to be very serious.

"The Japanese are aware of this and are putting pressure on our government. They believe that Newport News Shipyard has violated the Neutrality Act and demand that we seize the 'St. George', which is being rebuilt, and sell it to the Japanese," Wynn said, staring at Ouyang Yun with unblinking eyes.

Ouyang Yun's reaction made him a little disappointed. "Really? So, has your government succumbed? No, perhaps not so, Mr. Wallace, did he give in? Ouyang Yun said slowly, the expression on his face was very calm.

Wynn couldn't help it, and he asked, "Your Excellency, aren't you worried?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled: "Should I be worried?" Objectively speaking, I am now just a customer representative at the Newport News shipyard in your country. I don't think that with the reputation of the Newport News shipyard, nay, should be the reputation of Mr. Wallace and the group he represents, I have nothing to worry about. We are not building aircraft carriers to invade any country, but only to protect ourselves. Your Excellency, if you consider that such an act of the Newport News Shipyard is also a violation of the Neutrality Act, then I can only regret to say that I deeply regret that your Government, which has always adhered to truth and justice, has been impressed by the authority of a rogue state this time. Ladies and gentlemen, I know that it is not easy for you to come all the way to China. The Chinese people have always been friendly and hospitable, and I think that in view of the consistent friendship between the two peoples, we will try our best to meet your demands, as long as they are not excessive. ”

Politicians and businessmen are the most professional hooligans in the world. Conversations between hooligans, sometimes, really can't be deduced by common sense.

After Ouyang Yun released these words, Huai En and the others finally laughed. The next thing is much simpler, Wynn and others, after reaffirming the friendship and support of the American people and government for the Chinese people, half-veiled their request, they hope to obtain the second generation of transistor technology.

Since then, the electronics industry has become the largest exporter of transistors and other electronic components. The last time Ouyang Yun went to the United States, in order to raise money to build an aircraft carrier fleet, he sold the transistor generation technology. At that time, the Americans thought they had taken advantage of a huge advantage, but now, with the emergence of smaller and more powerful semiconductor components, the Americans realized Ouyang Yun's evil deeds. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they feel unhappy, so the Americans will magnify the aircraft carrier and make Ouyang Yun ugly. Now it seems that the good intentions of the Americans seem to have paid off, no, Ouyang Yun finally relented on the transfer of the second-generation transistor technology.

While Ouyang Yun was fighting with a group of American businessmen at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, on a heavy cruiser off Nagasaki, Japan, Toshiichiro Koizumi and Isoroku Yamamoto were pointing out something on a map of China and a map of Southeast Asia.

"There's oil here!" Koizumi pointed to a place called Daqing in China's Heilongjiang Province.

"Oil!" Yamamoto's eyes widened.

"There's iron ore here!" Koizumi's hand pointed to Anshan.

And as his finger pointed to one place name after another, Yamamoto fifty-six gradually lost his excitement. Later, he said, "It's just rubber." ”

"The rubber is here," Koizumi pointed to another map. He pressed his finger to the name of the place "Sumatra" and said, "There is not only rubber here, but also oil." Here, it must be captured. ”

"We still have to go to war with the United States!" Yamamoto said, his right hand began to pinch his chin.

"Yes, how? Your Excellency is scared? Koizumi said, his eyes burning and shining.

"You know, I've been in the United States. Do you know what is the most terrible thing about America? With strong manufacturing capacity, as long as there is a need, American factories can immediately switch to a wartime mechanism, and at that time, a steady stream of military products will roll down the assembly line. In East Asia, the empire may be strong enough, but our industrial base is still too poor compared to the United States. ”

Hearing Yamamoto say this, the corners of Koizumi's mouth turned up slightly, and he thought to himself: "It's really exactly the same as what is recorded in the history books, Your Excellency Yamamoto is aware of the strong industrial production capacity of the United States, so he will oppose the war against the United States." The former Yamamoto-kun was a tragic figure. But now it's different, with my help, the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor will definitely not end hastily, but will definitely inflict heavy damage on the U.S. military, and at that time, the entire Pacific war situation will be changed. As he thought so, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in his heart as a traverser's unique insight into the situation. His eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "But we are not without opportunities, as long as we inflict heavy losses on the US military at the beginning, so as to gain a year or two of development time, then the empire can produce enough weapons to dominate the Asian battlefield." At that time, even if the Americans can ease up, they will not dare to bet easily. Your Excellency, rest assured, the fate of the Empire has changed with me. ”

"I hope so!"

"No, Your Excellency, you are the soul of the Imperial Navy, please be sure to build strong faith. I believe that as long as you are able to dominate the Imperial Navy, then the Empire will win the Pacific War in the near future. ”

"War in the Pacific?" Yamamoto looked at Koizumi in surprise.

There are many things that Koizumi did not say to Yamamoto. And at this moment, Yamamoto did not dare to think about launching a war in the Pacific at all, after all, after experiencing "sunken", the United Fleet lost two main aircraft carriers at once, and now, he really does not have the courage to argue with the powerful US Navy.

Koizumi, on the other hand, didn't care about it at all. After learning in detail about the process of growing the cadet army and the current focus of military development, he already had a series of targeted measures in mind. In his mind, because Ouyang Yun was still only a warlord and could not yet dominate China's power, he was nothing compared to the entire empire. What he thinks about most now is still the empire's worst enemy: the United States.
