"No, no!"

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Actually, the bowl of wine given to Lieutenant Colonel Marshall last time was because Pudovsky's drinking capacity shocked us, so we showed the greatest sincerity.

But Lieutenant Colonel Marshall's drinking capacity tells us that not every Westerner has a good drinking capacity.

So we adjusted the way we welcome guests. There is no big wine bowl like last time, but there is still some small wine. Our Fenjiu is mellow, definitely no worse than brandy. General Stilwell can try it."

Then Stilwell smiled narrowly and said: "I heard a saying when I came to your country, it's like the sky is different even if it's ten miles apart.

I thought the custom here is that every new guest has to drink a bowl of wine twice as big as the person's head!

Hahahahaha!”

The old man Stilwell certainly knew that Marshall had been treated specially the last time he came. He did not believe that there was any custom in this country where new guests had to drink from a bowl twice the size of a person's head.

Bowl of wine.

It wouldn't be possible even if America's most prolific drunkard comes.

After hearing Zhao Gang's explanation, he reluctantly chose to believe it with his expression.

Sit in the seat.

Logistics Director Guo also served the last dish in time, but glanced at Zhao Gang strangely.

I thought to myself that these scholars have very quick minds, and they would have a reason to refute this old American man as soon as they rolled their eyes.

People with high EQ are called scholars who are quick-thinking, while people with low EQ are called readers who have so many clever ideas.

There are many dishes on the table.

For the Eighth Route Army, this was the highest-level banquet.

Mutton, this is normal. It is grown on young grass on the hillside. It was bought from fellow villagers with real money. We cannot be stingy with the distinguished American guests who come to discuss cooperation.

Fish meat is also carp fished out from the river with a net. The carp here very close to the Yellow River is different from the carp in the south in later generations. It does not have that earthy smell.

Of course, this cannot be said to be fed chicken feces into the pond.

There are just a few dishes of chicken.

Roast chicken, that's for sure.

The Xianggu braised chicken is also good.

Chicken nuggets roasted with potatoes, shredded chicken, diced spicy chicken, and finally Chen Shanhe even cooked it himself and made plain-cut chicken.

If you exclude the goat meat and Yellow River carp, the whole thing is a chicken feast.

This made Stilwell a little surprised: "This surprises me a little. It is said that you are in difficulty, but today's reception made me doubt this rumor."

Chen Shanhe smiled: "General Stilwell, if you are a guest, whether you are here to discuss cooperation or not, we will always take good care of you."

At this time, George Manderson, who was seated next to him, interrupted: "General, this chicken grows very fast, and the meat is delicious.

This is a broiler chicken breed they developed that can grow quickly, called white-feather chicken.

Do you know how long it takes for this kind of white-feathered chicken to go from being born with an eggshell to being ready for the dinner table?

Only takes 42 days!

It only takes 42 days for a chicken to grow from an eggshell to being ready for dinner.

General, this is amazing!"

George Manderson's words directly shocked General Stilwell.

How is that possible?

He widened his eyes and looked at George Manderson to confirm the authenticity of this sentence again.

George Manderson confirmed with him again: "General, I have been following the news since I learned about it a month ago, and because I am a journalist, I am very sensitive to the news.

So I ordered a batch of chicks and fed them exactly the same way as they did according to the feeding procedures their breeders told me.

In just a few days from when I got that batch of chicks to when you came here, the weight of this batch of chicks has grown from a tiny bit to more than a pound, and there are amazing changes every day.

I estimate that in 20 days, it will be almost three kilograms. And these breeds of white-feather chickens they raise only need 42 days to grow to three and a half kilograms or four kilograms.

That’s more than 4 pounds. This growth rate is amazing, and the meat is very delicious. It is the most delicious variety of chicken I have ever eaten.”

After receiving the confirmation, General Stilwell was completely shocked.

Chen Shanhe explained with a smile: "The comparison between the Japanese army and our country's army is nothing more than better weapons, better nutrition, long-term training, and ideologically armed with Bushido.

That's why we can be so devastating on the battlefield.

What we need to do is try our best to catch up with them in weapons, catch up in nutrition, and keep up with them in training.

Moreover, with the idea of ​​protecting the homeland and the country, the Japanese have nothing to fear.

This white-feathered chicken can grow to three and a half pounds in 42 days, which is a great improvement on the meat intake of our soldiers.

In fact, our research has just been successful and is being promoted on a large scale.

I believe that in just a year and a half, we can promote this chicken breed to all base areas that can afford to raise chickens.

I believe that when you come to our country, you are used to seeing that our soldiers are usually thin and showy.

As long as white-feathered chickens like this are popularized and the meat intake is increased, the physical fitness will be improved. Even if they face hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, they will not suffer too much physical losses.

After all, you know that the general height of the Japanese army is usually about 1.5 meters, and their advantages are just their skilled hand-to-hand combat skills and their short but strong bodies created by adequate nutrition."

General Stilwell sighed: "The person who cultivated the white-feathered chicken breed will be an epoch-making great man!"

In fact, Chen Shanhe wanted to laugh in his heart.

Because the white-feather chicken breed was developed by Americans after World War II, and they were used to transport white-feather chickens to the world, monopolizing 80% of the world's chicken market.

And white-feathered chickens are often used to jam the chicken markets of other countries.

It was not until 2000, when my country was stuck, that research on white-feathered chickens began.

Then through arduous efforts, another breed was finally developed that was not inferior to American white-feathered chickens. The secrets of American white-feathered chicken breeding were slowly revealed.

The white-feather chicken technology that Chen Shanhe acquired is the old white-feather chicken breeding technology in the United States.

Moreover, his first few batches of white-feathered chickens were all hatched when he took them from Yang Baiqian to this place.

And wouldn’t the white-feathered chicken egg be able to hatch in the second or third generation?

He got hens, eggs from untouched hens.

The reason is to show this chicken's skills in front of Stilwell.

It's because even if he didn't come up with it, after the end of World War II, the Americans would study it on their own.

It's better to use it as a bargaining chip now.

When negotiating a deal.

Better to talk about it.

This was the plan from the beginning.

The more I think about the idea of ​​cutting leeks from Americans, the better I feel.

"Chen, after dinner, can I visit the place where you raise white-feathered chickens?"

Chen Shanhe said with a smile: "Of course! There is nothing hidden in this. Aren't we allies?

Allies should help each other, right? General Stilwell?"

After hearing this, General Stilwell asked meaningfully: "Since we are allies, we should really help each other.

So Chen, should the mass production technology of penicillin and the technology of making tablets help each other and exchange knowledge?

You must know that if we fight against the Japanese together now, we can defeat the Japanese sooner, and the Japanese will be able to withdraw from your country faster and return to that small island.

Therefore, you will not refuse the request of allies, right?"

In fact, the technology for making tablets is dispensable, the most important thing is the mass production technology.

Even though American researchers have racked their brains, they have not found a method that can be mass-produced.

It was not until 1950 that they could find this method to semi-synthesize penicillin.

Regarding this technology, Chen Shanhe is still the same. This is completely a technology invented by Americans. Even if you don't give it to him, he will still discover this method in a few years.

So you might as well give it to him a few years in advance and exchange it for something you need.

Chen Shanhe laughed after hearing this. What he was least afraid of was this kind of moral kidnapping.

Because he can be tied behind his back!

"General Stilwell, since you have spoken, we are allies, and as allies, we cannot afford to watch the US military being beaten like this by the Japanese in the Pacific.

Nor would he watch helplessly as wounded US soldiers died in pain and mourning.

This is very cruel, so we are willing to share this technology with you in the Allies.

So since we are allies, it is reasonable for you to support some of our machines, some industrial-based machines, isn’t it?”

General Stilwell said with a wry smile: "No matter how you say it, at present, Chiang Kai-shek is still the head of state of this country, and we cannot bypass the development potential he has given you.
