Chapter 226: Wrong Decision
The attitudes of Admiral Marshall and Major General Eisenhower had a great influence on President Roosevelt. Since the two generals have expressed their www.biquge.info, they can support the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to develop industry in Burma. Well, this undoubtedly shows that it will not have much impact on the interests of the United States. Otherwise, these two generals would definitely come out against it.
"General Qin, from the perspective of defeating Japan, the U.S. government supports the development of industry by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The U.S. government can assist the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in building a number of industrial projects in Burma, so that you can achieve self-sufficiency in war materials as much as possible. "President Roosevelt made the decision.
In the current view, this decision has little impact on the United States. But, ten years later, twenty years later. When the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army unified the entire Nanyang and built Nanyang into a powerful country with advanced science and technology and prosperous industry, countless Americans felt sorry for President Roosevelt's decision today. Because at that time, the South China Sea had already posed a serious threat and challenge to the interests of the United States and the hegemony of the United States. Even if the United States is the world hegemon, it has the red giant of the Soviet Union to contain it, making its status in the South Sea and the Western Pacific even inferior to that of the South Sea.
This has made countless Americans dissatisfied with President Roosevelt's decision today. He thinks that the U.S. government is shooting itself in the foot. If the U.S. government had not supported the development of industry by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, Nanyang would not have been able to threaten the United States at all, and would have become a market and a source of raw materials for the United States.
Of course, all this is not visible now.
President Roosevelt's statement made Qin Shou very satisfied. It is precisely because of such a statement that his current trip to the United States can be said to be a success. With the support of the U.S. government, factories will soon be sprawling in Myanmar. These factories will be a pioneer force in Myanmar's industrialization. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will have a strong industrial base. Soon, they will no longer have to look at people's faces.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. Soon, Your Excellency will know that the U.S. Government's support for the Japanese National Salvation Army will be very correct. We will contribute more strength in the war against Japan. Qin Shou said with a straight face.
Next, Qin Shou began to make requests, hoping that the U.S. government would help them build factories.
Iron and steel plants, non-ferrous metal smelters, oil wells and supporting refineries, coal mines and other mining plants, chemical plants with three acids and two alkalis, machine factories, arsenals, automobile factories, tank factories, aircraft factories and shipyards, etc.
These requirements put forward by Qin Shou are completely to create a complete military industrial system in Myanmar.
It's just that although the Americans agreed to support the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in developing industry, it does not mean that they will demand from Qin Shouyu.
"General Qin, tank factories and aircraft factories, require extremely high scientific and technological content. With the current foundation of Myanmar, it is impossible to make tanks and planes. There is no need to waste these investments. Admiral Marshall objected.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it is true that it is not possible to complete the manufacture of tanks and aircraft on the basis of what Myanmar is now doing. However, I believe that what we lack is some core technology. Our tank factories and aircraft factories are fully capable of producing some components that we are able to manufacture ourselves. The most critical equipment, such as engines, tank guns, etc., can be obtained from the United States and then assembled on its own. In this case, the difficulty is much lower. "Although Qin Shou wants to eat it in one bite and become a big fat man. But he also knows that he needs to do what he can. If you eat too much, you will get indigestion.
Although, subject to technological limitations, their tank factories and aircraft factories were nothing more than assembly plants for a long time. However, Qin Shou believes that one day they will be able to overcome those core technologies. Especially after the defeat of Germany and Japan, a large number of scientists, engineers and highly skilled workers will be wiped out by the victorious countries. If the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army can also get a piece of the pie, this can make their industrial development wings. When the time comes, many of the current problems will be easily solved.
Admiral Marshall hesitated, but finally nodded. If the core technology is in the hands of the United States, and the tank factory and aircraft factory of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are just assembly plants, then there will be no storms.
Eventually, the two sides agreed. The U.S. government will provide these industrial aids to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Within three months, all projects will start construction. Within one year, it was completed and put into operation. At least the first phase of the plant will be completed and put into operation. In order to facilitate the control of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, Burma can succeed in terms of industrial strength.
Qin Shou was very satisfied with this. This can be described as a white wolf! With the support of the Americans, his industrial construction in Myanmar will reach a new level. It will even soon turn from a poor industrial desert into a powerful country with a well-developed basic industry.
Of course, there is still a big gap compared with the world's industrial powers. But Qin Shou believes that they still have time to develop. Nanyang is rich in various resources, and if it continues to develop gradually, it will soon be able to achieve success.
After the meeting, Major General Eisenhower left President Roosevelt's office with Qin Shou. Qin Shou knew that this might be the only chance he had to meet President Roosevelt. However, he is still very satisfied with the results of this meeting.
"Marshall, this little fellow, is very interesting! I could see his hidden ambitions. Hopefully, we won't create an adversary for the United States. President Roosevelt smiled.
"Your Excellency, it is better to be ambitious than not to be ambitious. Only those who are ambitious can also take advantage of this opportunity to control it in their hands. Although, we helped the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to develop industry in Myanmar. However, we will never hand over the core technology to them. For example, the engines of tanks and airplanes, the steam turbines used by large warships, these are our secrets. As long as we master these core technologies, even if the industry of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army develops, it will still be subject to ours. Without our support, they would have been beaten back to their original form very quickly. "Admiral Marshall looked confident. He thought that even if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army developed, it would still not be able to jump out of his palm. (To be continued.) )
