Qingyuan Tungsten Ore Industry has been under construction since last year, and the current main sales target is Germany. Every month at Fuzhou Port, at least one cargo ship from Europe comes to load tungsten ore. George has a lot of experience in this regard. He had a strong opinion on the relationship between the German government and the Jews. Therefore, he had always persuaded Ouyang Yun to give up dealing with the rogue German government. At this time, he took the initiative to let Wynn and others invest in Qingyuan Tungsten. Mine, just to cut off the economic and trade ties between the Xuebing Army and the German government.
Tungsten ore is widely used in the modern steel industry, and the demand in the United States is also very large. The profits are of course very considerable, which makes Wynn and others very tempted. If Wallace had not paid special attention to it, I believe they would definitely have it at this moment. Someone will jump out and take over the matter,
"But I heard that Qingyuan is very close to the Japanese-occupied area. Your Excellency, if we really invest in Qingyuan Tungsten Mine, how will you ensure the safety of our investment." After thinking about it for a while, Wynn raised this question, Then he said: "We have come all the way from the United States, and we don't want to return empty-handed. Sir, there is something I didn't want to say at first, for fear that you might misunderstand, but now, I feel that since you regard us as friends, from now on From the standpoint of our friends, we should tell you frankly, Your Excellency, the aircraft carrier your army is building is currently experiencing quite a bit of trouble."
"Yeah." Ouyang Yun pretended to be serious,
"The Japanese know about this and are putting pressure on our government. They believe that the Newport News Shipyard has violated the neutrality law and require us to seize the St. George, which is being rebuilt, and sell it to Japan. Man." Wynn said, staring at Ouyang Yun without blinking.
Ouyang Yun's reaction made him a little disappointed, "Really? So, has your government surrendered? No, maybe you shouldn't ask, Mr. Wallace, has he surrendered?" Ouyang Yun said slowly, his face His expression is very calm,
Wynn couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Sir, aren't you worried?"
Ouyang Yun smiled: "Should I be worried? Objectively speaking, I am just a customer representative of your country's Newport News Shipbuilding Company. I don't think that with the reputation of Newport News Shipbuilding Company, No, it should be the reputation of Mr. Wallace and the group he represents. I have nothing to worry about. We are not building aircraft carriers to invade any country, but just to protect ourselves. Your Excellency, if you think Newport If the behavior of the Neuse Shipyard can be regarded as a violation of the neutrality law, then I can only regret to say that your government, which has always insisted on truth and justice, has been overwhelmed by the power of a rogue country this time. I express my deep regret. Everyone, I know it is not easy for you to come all the way to China. The Chinese people have always been friendly and hospitable. I think, in view of the long-standing friendship between the two peoples, as long as your request is not too excessive, We will try our best to satisfy you.”
Politicians and businessmen are the most professional hooligans in the world. Sometimes the conversations between hooligans cannot be judged by common sense.
After Ouyang Yun said these words, Wynn and others finally laughed, and what happened next was much simpler. After Wynn and others reiterated the friendship and support of the American people and government to the Chinese people, they half-hidden the truth. Hidden put forward their request, they hope to obtain the second generation technology of transistors,
The transistor was synthesized by Xuebing Research and Development Institute. Since then, Xuebingjun's electronics industry has jumped to the forefront of the world, and has begun to become the largest exporter of transistors and other electronic components. When Ouyang Yun went to the United States last time, in order to raise funds They spent money to build an aircraft carrier fleet and sold the transistor generation technology. At that time, the Americans thought they had taken a huge advantage. But now, with the emergence of smaller and more powerful semiconductor components, the Americans have realized that they have cheated on Ouyang. Maybe it was because of Yun's misdeeds that he felt unhappy, so the Americans magnified the aircraft carrier incident to make Ouyang Yun look bad. Now it seems that the Americans' good intentions have paid off. No, Ouyang Yun finally relented on the transfer of second-generation transistor technology.
While Ouyang Yun was arguing with a group of American businessmen at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, on a heavy cruiser on the sea near Nagasaki, Japan, Koizumi Minichiro and Yamamoto Isoroku were looking at a map of China and A map of Southeast Asia points to something,
"There is oil here." Koizumi said, pointing to a place called Daqing in Heilongjiang Province, China.
"Oil." Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes widened,
"There are iron ores here." Xiaoquan pointed to Anshan,
As his finger pointed at place names one after another, Yamamoto Isoroku gradually lost his excitement. After a while, he said: "The only thing missing is rubber."
"The rubber is here." Koizumi pointed to another map, pressed his finger on the place name "Sumatra Island", and then said: "Not only is there rubber here, but there is also oil. This must be captured."
"We still have to go to war with the United States." Yamamoto said, and began to hold his chin with his right hand.
"Yes, why, you are scared?" Xiaoquan said, his eyes shining brightly,
"You know, I have lived in the United States. Do you know what is most terrifying about the United States? It has strong manufacturing capabilities. As long as there is need, American factories can immediately switch to wartime mechanisms. By then, there will be a steady stream of military industry. Products roll off the assembly line. In East Asia, the empire may be strong enough, but compared with the United States, our industrial base is still too poor."
Hearing what Yamamoto said, the corners of Koizumi's mouth turned up slightly, and he thought to himself: "It's exactly the same as what is recorded in the history books. Mr. Yamamoto was opposed to war with the United States because he knew the strong industrial production capacity of the United States. The former Mr. Yamamoto, He was a tragic figure, but it is different now. With my help, the attack on Pearl Harbor will never end hastily, but will definitely severely damage the US military. By then, the entire Pacific war situation will be changed." He couldn't help but think about this. With the unique sense of superiority that a time traveler has in understanding the current situation, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "But we don't have no chance, as long as we inflict heavy damage on the US military at the beginning and gain one or two years of development time. , then, the empire will be able to produce enough weapons to dominate the Asian battlefield. By then, even if Americans can recover, they will not dare to place bets easily. Your Excellency, please rest assured, with me here, the destiny of the empire has changed. .”
"I hope so."
"No, Your Excellency, you are the soul of the Imperial Navy. Please build strong confidence. I believe that as long as you can dominate the Imperial Navy, the Empire will definitely win the Pacific War in the near future."
"Pacific War?" Yamamoto looked at Koizumi in surprise,
There were many things that Koizumi did not say to Yamamoto, and at this moment, Yamamoto did not dare to think about launching a Pacific War. After all, after experiencing the "sinking", the combined fleet lost two main aircraft carriers at once. Now, he honestly I don’t have the courage to challenge the powerful U.S. Navy,
Xiaoquan, on the other hand, didn't care about this at all. After understanding in detail the growth process of the Xuebing Army and the current focus of military development, he already had a series of countermeasures in mind. When he thought about it, because Ouyang Yun was still only He is a warlord who cannot yet control China's power. Therefore, compared with the entire empire, he is nothing to mention. What he thinks about most now is still the empire's greatest enemy: the United States.
