At this point, Li Yanping said with some confusion: "Old Yang, I always feel that the US government played a big role in this matter. Think about our two technologies.
No matter how precious it is, with the technological level of the Americans, it’s not that they can’t find a production method, it’s just that the time is delayed. For them, we can say that the price of these 500 million U.S. dollars is a lot of money.”
"I can't figure it out. Why did the U.S. government push for this with such force even though it knew it was expensive? That Major Pearson, I don't think his identity is as simple as it seems on the surface. And
The attitude of several pharmaceutical companies changed significantly after the embassy intervened. They changed from desperately lowering prices to constant bidding."
Regarding Li Yanping's speculation, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "This guy should be an official of the U.S. intelligence department. This guy's background is definitely not simple. There should be shadows of the U.S. side and the government behind this negotiation, and maybe even...
It was directly authorized by the White House. If I guess correctly, most of the funds should be disguised loans and aid given to us by the United States."
"Americans are not fools. They have their own intelligence sources. Since the Japanese army lost the Battle of Nomonhan last year, the controversy between the Japanese military going south and north has probably subsided, and as long as you are not a fool, you can almost determine the Japanese army's next target.
It's going south."
"With the defeat of Britain and France, the surrender of France and the Netherlands, and the fact that Southeast Asia, as a colony of traditional European powers, has almost no defense power, the temptation to move southward is even greater for the Japanese. The Japanese know this truth, and the Americans are more
I know it all."
"For the Japanese, what can they get by going north? The vast Siberian wasteland, covered with ice and snow, and most of the areas are deserted? Or a few ports that are blocked by ice for 200 of the 365 days a year? How far is Siberia?
The core area of the Soviet Union is too far away. Even if they occupy Siberia, they will not be able to defeat the Soviet Union. The Japanese do not have that much financial resources, nor do they have such high technology to develop the permafrost zones in Siberia."
"Southeast Asia is different. There is oil, rubber, tin ore, and various rare metals that the Japanese desperately need to maintain the war, as well as various rare metals that they cannot find in the Northeast. Especially oil and rubber from Indonesia and Myanmar, which are all required by modern military industries.
Urgently needed blood. Without oil, their modern war weapons are just a pile of scrap metal. Especially the navy, it can only be parked in the port and become a living target."
"For the Japanese, instead of going north to face millions of Soviet troops, thousands of tanks, countless heavy artillery and aircraft, and only getting a desolate permafrost zone with little development value, it is better to go south.
Go down and pick the fruits left behind by the battlefields of Europe. It doesn’t take much effort, and you can get all the resources you desperately need.”
"And for the Soviet army, they may not be able to defeat it. Even if they fight it with all their strength, it will not be worth the loss for the Japanese. The gains are far less than the efforts. The European and American powers want the Japanese to follow their own baton.
, do they regard the Japanese as idiots? Are the Japanese so honest and follow their intentions to do such things that benefit others and not benefit themselves? They also underestimate the Japanese brains."
"The situation now is different from the Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War. At that time, one was to compete for the already developed Northeast China and complete the so-called landing strategy of the Japanese. The other was to gamble on the fate of the country, which had already weakened.
By seizing North Korea, China has obtained a springboard for landing. It has received huge war reparations from China to make up for the lack of national strength required for its own development."
"As of now, they have accomplished their original goal. They have completely occupied Northeast China and gained a solid market and cheap raw material production area. For them, what is more important now is to control the energy and mineral resources that China does not have and does not produce.
.”
"Last year, excluding steel for arms production, Japan imported more than one billion U.S. dollars of oil and products from the United States alone. This amount can only be more this year. This amount is still extremely poor for a small country with poor people and relatively poor financial resources.
It is very difficult for Japan to bear.”
"Moreover, oil, the bloodline of the military, is now in the hands of others. It is not only difficult for the Japanese to support it financially, but more importantly, once this blood supply is cut off, the entire Japanese army and navy are in danger of being paralyzed. You see,
As long as an oil embargo against Japan is not announced, I bet that a full-scale war will break out between the United States and Japan within six months at the latest."
"The Japanese are greedy snakes that can never be fed enough and have become accustomed to looking forward to Shu. Of course they want China, but if they can easily take over Southeast Asia and solve their fundamental need to rely on the Americans for their own survival, they won't mind.
"
Having said this, Yang Zhen showed a sarcastic smile and said: "Actually, we are rich in oil in the Northeast. Not only is there, but the reserves are quite abundant. It can be said that it is spread throughout the Songliao Plain. If the Japanese can find it,
Not only can it meet their needs, but it can also allow them to suddenly become an oil exporting country."
"It's just that they couldn't find it. But fortunately they didn't find it, otherwise where would we find such a wealthy ally? And now that they haven't found it, they will never have the chance to find it. Because I will never find it again.
Give them this opportunity."
Looking at Yang Zhen's high-spirited face when he said he would not give them another chance, Li Yanping frowned and said: "Old Yang, didn't you say that China is an oil-poor country? There is still oil in the Northeast? I can't believe that.
I have never heard of it. When I dealt with these Americans in the customs, they were an oil-poor country."
"How do you know, brother, that our Northeast is full of oil? You know, as far as I know, the Americans did survey during the period when the warlords ruled. And the Japanese did it before the September 18th Incident and after the September 18th Incident.
After careful exploration, nothing was found. Your eyes, Old Yang, can't be any better than those of the Americans, right?"
Regarding Li Yanping's disbelief, Yang Zhen laughed and said: "Political Commissar, don't worry about how I know it. I can only tell you whether China is an oil-poor country or not, so we have to compare ourselves with others. We won't talk about other places, just
If all the oil in our Northeast is developed, I guarantee you that it will not be lower than the current oil production of the Soviet Union. At least it will be more than enough to meet the needs of the little devils."
"This is why I insist on importing a complete set of oil production equipment. You see, when our situation reaches what I want, I promise to give you a high-yield oil field. Moreover, this high-yield oil field is not far from us in Songhua
On the riverside. As long as this oil field is developed, we will not have to spend money to buy other people's high-priced products when using oil in the future. But now this matter needs to be kept secret. Only you, me, oh, and Comrade Xiao Yuan know.
"
Having said this, Yang Zhen stood up and looked at the so-called Manchurian resource map drawn by the Japanese that was captured on the wall hanging side by side with the combat map, and then said to Li Yanping: "Tomorrow you will discuss the details with the Americans.
When I arrive, I must get the key items on my list no matter what. Especially the electronic products and equipment for producing electronic products must be obtained."
"The German production lines we originally imported were all eliminated from Germany. The products produced were not very stable and the waste of raw materials was high. Many of the key equipment were replaced by Jiangbei with their own defective products. Our radios
Whether the factory can be upgraded or not depends on your negotiations this time."
"There are also radars. It would be best for the United States to export them. If they refuse to export, we can manufacture them ourselves with these production lines. We need to establish our own industrial base, and the air defense mission is extremely important. Otherwise, our wealth will not be enough for the Japanese.
Several bombings.”
"Now that the most basic steel plants and automobile production lines have been agreed upon, the next step will focus on the production lines of high-horsepower automotive diesel engines and gasoline engines. As for the number of cars they provide, we will need as much. There are also experts and
The same goes for skilled workers. Without experts and skilled workers, even if those things are sold to us, we won’t use them.”
"Political Commissar, today's negotiation is just to lay a foundation, and tomorrow's negotiation is the key. There is a saying that details determine fate. Whether we can establish an independent defense industry in the future depends on the details of your negotiations with them tomorrow. Automobiles, steel
, metallurgy, and the equipment that produces machines are the foundation of a country’s defense industry and the foundation of whether we can fight this war in the future.”
"As for the aircraft and engine production lines, if we really can't talk about it, just hang it up until there is a reply from the United States. For other materials, especially automobiles, steel, chemical products, and electronic components, we must urge them to hurry up and supply them.
.
"Due to our excessive ammunition consumption in this battle, the steel for artillery shells originally reserved is now insufficient. The steel and high explosives that Jiangbei promised to provide in the form of loans have now been delayed. Although the commander-in-chief repeatedly said
Urging, but the other party is still unable to deliver the goods."'"For us now, if we cannot replenish the steel for artillery shells within two months, we can only stop the production of artillery shells. It doesn't matter other artillery shells, rocket launchers and Japanese artillery.
When the artillery shells arrive, there will be comprehensive tension. Therefore, we must urge them to ship steel and cars as quickly as possible. It is best to have them shipped within a month."
"I also know the principle of acting within our capabilities, but we don't have the time to delay now, let alone the qualification to take things step by step. Neither the world situation nor our own situation allows us to dilly-dally, be cautious, and feel our way through the stones.
The river is a luxury hope for us. What can be achieved now is how bold the people are and how productive the land is. We would rather let the equipment wait for people than let people wait for the equipment."
"Political Commissar, no matter how difficult it is, we must complete the infrastructure and equipment installation of various industries before December next year. Even if we are so tired that we vomit blood, we must complete all industrial infrastructure within the first half of next year.
All machines and equipment are imported.”
"This opportunity now may be our last opportunity. Maybe next year we just want to import these machines and equipment, and the Americans agree to export. I am afraid it will be quite difficult for us. Even if the Americans agree to export
, once the war situation in Europe changes and Jiangbei joins the war, all our transportation routes will be cut off."
