Chapter 229: Purchase of an Aircraft Carrier

When Qin Shou left Anliangtang, Situ Jizan and Situ Chengye, father and son, sent Qin Shou out of the gate of Anliangtang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThrough this meeting, Qin Shou and An Liangtang and Situ Jia have established a good cooperative relationship.

An Liangtang will use their influence to recruit the soldiers and workers needed for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be responsible for protecting them. After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army now has very good relations with the United States. Once the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army gained a foothold in Burma and even expanded its sphere of influence to the whole of Nanyang, An Liangtang could also take this opportunity to gain more benefits. So, their cooperation is a huge benefit for both parties. In particular, Situ Chengye will be the Minister of Industry of the Burmese military junta, responsible for the industrial construction of Myanmar. This will be a very important position for a long time to come!

"Chengye, I'll let you know when we leave. You also have to be prepared. Qin Shou is very satisfied with Situ Chengye.

"Yes, Commander. I'm going to call people who are like-minded with me in the next few days. When the time comes, we will go to Myanmar together. Situ Chengye said excitedly.

Although, now Myanmar's industry, is blank. However, this undoubtedly gives them a platform to play. If they can develop rapidly with the full support of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, this will undoubtedly give them a great sense of achievement.

When Qin Shou returned to the hotel, Lieutenant Colonel Steven was already waiting for him.

"Qin, according to your request, I have already helped you buy shares in Boeing, Coca-Cola, Gillette and other companies. However, your $120 million deposit is now only $20 million. Will this have an impact on what you do next? Steven asked.

This time when he came to the United States, Qin Shou did not forget to use his foresight to make a lot of money. Although, in his previous life, he didn't know much about these situations. But he still knows that Boeing, Coca-Cola and Gillette, the three companies that made a fortune in the war. Qin Shou only thought about taking the shares of these three companies now, and when their stock prices skyrocketed, he would sell them, and he would be able to make a lot of profits as soon as he came and went. This is very important for the future Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, there are only 20 million US dollars left, which will undoubtedly have a great impact on Qin Shou's next plan. Because, Qin Shou next wants to officially propose to the American side to buy American aircraft carriers.

In order to fight back against the Japanese themselves in the Pacific Ocean and fight for sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean, the Americans are now building aircraft carriers like dumplings. Thirty-two aircraft carriers of the 'Essex-class' alone are planned. Of course, because the Japanese themselves were so careless that the United States ended up building only 24 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers. But even so, he has already beaten the day * himself to his knees.

As the most powerful industrial country in the world, the United States is undoubtedly very terrifying when its industrial strength is transformed into war strength. As long as a country like Japan could not make the United States kneel down in the early stage of the war, once it entered the battle of attrition, Japan would only be dragged to death.

Qin Shou's eyes were also fixed on the 'Essex-class' aircraft carriers of the US Navy that were preparing to cancel their construction. There are some aircraft carriers, which are already half completed. However, because the Japanese * Ben was defeated ahead of schedule, they were demolished during the construction. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can buy these aircraft carriers, this will further enhance the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the very least, they can have a certain say in the South and Indian Oceans.

It's just that whether the Americans will agree to sell these aircraft carriers, Qin Shou is unknown. Even he wasn't completely sure.

"Steven, help me get in touch with General Marshall, I want to talk to him about a big deal." Qin Shou said.

Qin Shou knew that even if the United States promised to sell aircraft carriers to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it would be an astronomical amount. And now, Qin Shou only has 20 million US dollars in his hands. And an 'Essex-class' aircraft carrier costs as much as $70 million. If you add the supporting fighters and escort warships, it will cost at least $100 million. Therefore, Qin Shou's current approach is more like an empty glove white wolf.

"Okay, Qin. I have to advise you, though. Your idea is so whimsical. Unless the person in charge of the White House has his head caught in the door. Otherwise, I will never agree to your request. Lieutenant Colonel Steven said with great certainty.

"I know it's very difficult. But how do you know you won't succeed without giving it a try? Qin Shou's attitude was more positive. It was difficult, but he wanted to give it a try. Anyway, even if it's a failure. This did not have much impact on Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At most, let the Americans see his ambitions.

The next day, Qin Shou returned to Washington. In the afternoon of the same day, he went to the General Staff. Admiral Marshall, take an hour to meet.

"General Qin, how are you doing during your time in the United States?" Admiral Marshall smiled. Admiral Marshall is still very optimistic about this young man who can help them defeat Japan in the Pacific Ocean and reduce the casualties of American youth as much as possible.

"General Marshall, thank your Government for your hospitality. I've been in the U.S. for a long time, and I've had a good time Qin Shou replied with a smile.

"Okay, Qin. I have limited time, you want to see me this time, is there anything wrong? Admiral Marshall asked. As Chief of the General Staff of the US Army, he was undoubtedly very busy during this period. Being able to take an hour out to meet Qin Shou is already very face-saving.

"General Marshall, next year, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will launch an offensive against the Japanese forces entrenched in Thailand and the Malay Peninsula. Although, we are confident enough to beat them on land. However, the traffic in Indochina and other parts of the South Seas is really bad. It would be great if we could attack by sea. Qin Shou said.

Admiral Marshall nodded, knowing that the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, like the American Army, was a unit that relied heavily on firepower. The bad road in Nanyang is indeed a nightmare for them. But if the U.S. Navy were to mobilize forces to help them, that would probably not be possible. (To be continued.) )
