Chapter 90: Good News for the United States
Put Chiyo on a cruise ship to Germany.
With 3 small ones, 8 bodyguards, and a group of 12 people boarded the ship directly in Tokyo and headed for San Francisco, USA. Watching Anna wave her little hand at Mrs. Takano who came to see her off in tears, and firmly board the cruise ship, it was helpless and comforting.
Holding Anna to look at Tokyo, which was still smelling of cow urine, Anna turned around and hugged me tightly...... But he didn't cry.
Looking at the three children who left Japan and played like crazy, it seems that Miya Noguchi is not a peaceful person, as long as she is happy, she is relieved. Anna was happy, and she didn't have to stick to herself.
When I had time, I continued to write a book with Ralph, and in any case, I had to finish it before I arrived in the United States, and then I didn't worry about it. Ralph's level of cooperation is getting higher and higher! In some places, pictures are more expressive than words, and he was even encouraged to try his hand in the direction of becoming a comic book artist.
After the second Christmas on board.
When I saw San Francisco, it was already 1936, and I had hastily completed my writing assignment. The manuscript was handed over to Han Ping for correction, and after correction, it was arranged to be brought back to Xi'an with the trading company.
My uncle arrived in San Francisco, but half a month earlier than him, and he is still in the San Francisco factory. Stephen Godwin's research team had been arranged by his uncle to continue development in San Francisco. Now that it's been arranged, I don't have to worry about it. My uncle still has a management level, and he straightened out the factory more reasonably in half a month, and James Cartlett admired me, and when he saw me, he asked to be an engineer. I directly refused to accept it, I only have one uncle, how can I be willing to be only a factory director!
Instructed Han Ping to bring 5 people to leave behind to readjust and optimize the security of the factory.
Arrange James Catlett's 36-year production plan, in addition to last year's production content, go all out to produce bazooka accessories; 7.92 rifle barrel; Production of 7.62 automatic rifles and shift machine guns, and by the end of the year, one gun production line and two 7.92 bullet production lines were procured in the name of the factory, which were sent to China by a trading company.
After a three-day stay in San Francisco, I went to New York with my uncle and his party, and it was already the morning of the eighth day after the New Year. Xiaoya, who was at home during the winter vacation, immediately pounced on me and made love when she saw me, and when she saw a bunch of friends coming, she immediately threw her brother away. Chinese and English take off, German and Japanese sing in unison, it doesn't affect the children's communication at all, I have to say that the children's language really doesn't understand!
Aunt Liu exchanged a few words with her uncle, and introduced her uncle to Isaac, Woody, and Donna Shearer, who were waiting at the villa, and his uncle's lack of English slowed down the communication. I introduced to everyone the tasks and responsibilities of my uncle's visit to the United States, to put it simply, except for Isaac, who is directly responsible for me, the rest of the work must be responsible to my uncle, and the industrial part is coordinated and managed by my uncle. There is no change in the tasks and responsibilities of other people.
Downer reported that the prototype of the firearm has come out, which is basically good, and the recoil can reach less than 30 kilograms. Estimate for yourself, this recoil is estimated that most Chinese soldiers will not be able to fire 5 rounds. See something and then talk about it.
Woody reported on the results of the operation and the materials sent to China at this stage. There is a medium-sized engine plant in Missouri ready for sale for about $200,000. At present, it mainly produces automobile engines and aircraft engines, and the production is basically at a standstill.
Aunt Liu's situation is the best, the penicillin test has basically found an idea, and it will take time to realize the trial production; Sulfonamide production can bring in more than $2 million a month, half of which goes to Woody to purchase supplies and half to Isaac's investment.
Isaac also explained the amount of money available for this year, which is estimated to be around $10 million.
It cannot be said that it is less, and it is estimated that the government of the Republic of China will not import 10 million from the United States this year. Now that the basic situation is clear, it is necessary to arrange this year's tasks.
Decided to acquire the engine plant, set aside $1 million in funds, and his main task this year is at this plant.
The core of exports to China is copper plates, steel, and gasoline, and the funds that can be squeezed out are used, focusing on futures procurement, expanding the scope of procurement, including Chile, Peru, and so on.
The second is to ensure the production tasks of the San Francisco and New York factories; The trading company also has priority to purchase M1919A4 that can fire 7.92 bullets, 2,000 machine guns, 1,000 trucks, 20 million rounds of 7.92 bullets, 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, etc.; Switching to a global sourcing model is not limited to the United States, such as the Czech Republic, France, Belgium, etc.
The New York factory finalized large-caliber rifles as soon as possible, and strives to produce 2,000 pieces and 1 million rounds of ammunition. The pharmaceutical factory exports more than 5 tons of sulfonamides in China, and the more the better, under the premise of meeting the sales and capital needs.
$100,000 for components such as radio stations and tubes, or consider acquiring a radio factory.
Funds are always insufficient, and if there are too many things to buy, it is necessary for the uncle to adjust according to the specific plans and funds proposed by various aspects, and determine a more accurate production plan and procurement plan.
In the afternoon, I went to the New York factory to see Donner's large-caliber anti-tank rifle, which looked strange and different from the firearms I remembered. Downer has put a lot of effort into the shock absorption of the butt, which is already the best result of this era; There is no good way to reduce recoil, so let Donner continue to increase the muzzle brake and strive to reduce the recoil to less than 25 kg! Downer designed two structural rifles, one is bolt-action, and the other is a short recoil structure that can already meet the requirements of semi-automatic.
I think it is better to keep both, a semi-automatic 25-inch short barrel is specially designed for anti-tank, and it is enough to maintain an effective range of 500 meters; A continuous shot of 5 rounds to knock out a tank is a good deal. The bolted one uses a 30-inch long barrel to make an ultra-long-range sniper rifle; Not necessarily against soft targets, at least against enemy artillery transport vehicles at about 1500 meters, or at the shell storage sites of artillery positions, there should be a certain use. By consensus, the matter of anti-tank rifles was determined.
In the evening, I need to report to Aunt Liu about the situation in the country. took Han Ping to the study together, and Aunt Liu was already waiting. Let Han Ping describe his actions in as much detail as possible. The hardships and great sacrifices of the Red Army, two years of training have made Aunt Liu a lot calmer, although her face is scary, after all, she is not as prone to tears as she was two years ago.
He also recounted the summons of Mr., gave the photo of Mobao to Aunt Liu, and asked him not to show it to Xiaoya first. Seeing that Aunt Liu had difficulty recognizing cursive writing, she read it to her softly. When I heard the words "after the hero", I still cried, but this time the tears were filled with relief.
Spend a day communicating with Isaac. Isaac has built a management team of nearly 100 people, and the team has basically stabilized. Financial and legal advisory bodies have been set up, and regular audits of invested enterprises will be carried out in the future; Bought two small bankrupt banks, which are still in a half-dead state, and in the process of liquidation, they will play a role as the US economy improves.
The long-term investment chosen, which has increased in value to nearly $2 million, is small but well oriented, and in addition to corporate stock, it has also purchased several small oil fields and refineries, which Smith has been assigned by Isaac to manage specifically. He immediately asked Isaac to arrange for the dismantling of a small oil refinery equipment for export to China.
Short-term speculative gains also reached nearly $3 million. At present, the assets in Isaac's hands, not counting the part of his own factory, have exceeded 20 million US dollars. Direct access is currently $5 million, and a conservative estimate of $10 million is available for the full year.
The two discussed a number of issues such as the form and development of the global and American economy, and strategies for dealing with the situation.
Tell Isaac to stock up on some titanium futures in the United States to be useful to himself.
Han Ping was asked to continue to expand the scale of the security company and do a good job in the security of core people and factories. Contact the Flying Club to train elite personnel brought to the United States. Then, according to the training situation, select a group of people who meet the requirements of cultural and physical fitness in China to participate in training in the United States. Arrange for Dawu to bring 2 American bodyguards and domestic bodyguards to protect himself.
