Chapter 220: To the United States
In the next few days, Qin Shou had been preparing for the expansion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, preparations for the military government, and going to the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info can be described as busy feet do not touch the ground. However, his idea is also taking shape little by little.
Under pressure from the Americans, a large number of soldiers began to travel from China to Burma to prepare for the reorganization of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. Since the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had American aid in hand, the Yamashiro government did not dare to play tricks on this point. The soldiers handed over to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were also strong young soldiers. In this regard, although the Yamashiro government was very dissatisfied in private, it did not dare to express anything on the surface.
As for the soldiers, they had no objections. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already sent people to receive them. The people who went to receive it were all officers. As soon as he received the people, he preached the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, as well as the merits it had achieved. This quickly conquered the young soldiers. Everyone is enthusiastic and wants to defeat the day * himself. However, due to the war in the country, there is no day of victory in sight. Now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has undoubtedly become their guiding light, which naturally makes these soldiers very excited. It also makes little sense to join the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
The 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army stationed in northern Burma took the lead in absorbing personnel from these soldiers to supplement their wartime losses. At the same time, the backbone was transferred and preparations were made for the formation of an additional infantry division.
In southern Burma, a large number of Chinese children also enthusiastically joined the army, forming the 5th Infantry Division and the 6th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At the same time, the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also planned to form the 2nd Army after the arrival of soldiers from China.
Merchant ships from the United States also arrived in Yangon. A large amount of weapons and equipment were transported here, so that the expansion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not have to worry about the lack of weapons and equipment at all. The expansion plan can be carried out in an orderly manner.
The preparations for the junta are also going well. Although there is a lack of these talents in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, among those Chinese families in southern Myanmar, there are still many talents. Before, there was no platform for them to exert their abilities, so they could only be buried. But now, there's a chance for them to do what they can. They certainly won't waste such an opportunity.
What makes Qin Shou even more satisfied is that among these talents, there are also many industrial talents. So that Qinshou's industrial development opportunities can also be improved. As long as he gets enough machinery from the Americans, everything will be able to start working.
Similarly, preparations for travel to the United States have been completed. There is nothing else to prepare, the main thing is to prepare money. The United States is the number one power in the capitalist world, and there is no need to go to the United States, but money is necessary.
Although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was short of money, it could be replaced by other things. Before, when Japan* himself was in Burma, he wantonly looted the wealth of Burma. Myanmar is rich in gold and jade, and a lot of it has been scraped. Unfortunately, they failed so quickly in Burma that none of the gold and jade could be taken away in time. Now, it has all fallen into the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. There are 50 tons of gold alone. In addition, there is a large amount of jewelry and jade, the value of which is not inferior to these dozens of tons of gold.
These gold and jade are undoubtedly the greatest wealth in the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army now. Total value, more than $100 million. However, the gap between what Qin Shou wanted to buy was undoubtedly very large. If Qin Shou wants to achieve his goals, he can only get assistance from the Americans.
Not to mention anything else, Qin Shou wants to build a powerful navy for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and this wealth of 100 million dollars, even if it is all spent, is not enough at all.
"We're still too poor! Americans have a lot of money, and even if they pluck out a leg hair, it is more than our waist. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to develop and grow, it still has to rely on the support of the Americans! Qin Shou sighed helplessly.
With the help of Lieutenant Colonel Steven's family, Qin Shou handed over all these jewels and gold to them to deal with. Fifty tons of gold and jewelry of equal value turned into a $120 million deposit at Citibank. Of course, Qin Shou knew that Lieutenant Colonel Steven's family must have earned some difference from it. However, there is no way around it. How can it be possible to ask for others and not give them any benefit?
"Qin, are you ready? I have already communicated with China. "Lieutenant Colonel Steven found Qin Shou.
"Steven, everything is ready." Qin Shou nodded.
He attaches great importance to this trip to the United States. If a more in-depth cooperation agreement can be reached with the United States this time, it will even have a bearing on the future development of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
It was already the second half of 1942, and it was only two and a half years before Japan was defeated and surrendered. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army must seize this period of time and work hard to develop and grow. Only in this way will they be able to gain the ability to stand on their own feet after the war is over. Otherwise, they will always be puppets of the Americans.
Qin Shou, he didn't want that to happen. Not to mention, after the Americans became the hegemon in the future. Their interests in Nanyang will inevitably clash with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. At that time, the close cooperation between the two sides will come to an abrupt end. It may turn into confrontation or even fierce conflict. Under such circumstances, if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to protect itself, it must have a stronger strength.
Now, although the Americans are gradually launching a counterattack in the Pacific Ocean. However, because of the drag of European allies, their strength has been greatly restricted. If the Americans want to fight back against the Japanese themselves in the Pacific, the support of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is indispensable. And Qin Shou can take this opportunity to make more demands to the US government. If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. It can be said that the opportunity cannot be missed, and the loss will not come again!
On the morning of October 25, Qin Shou and Lieutenant Colonel Steven left Burma for the United States on a B-24 heavy bomber of the air force.
The heavy bomber took off from Keyongan airfield, stopped in India, Africa, and the Azores, and arrived in New York, USA. The entire voyage reached more than 10,000 kilometers. Even if the plane does not make additional stops other than refueling, it will take three days to reach the United States. Of course, such a speed, although it cannot be compared with later generations. But at least it's much faster than taking a boat. (To be continued.) )
