Hearing what Ouyang Yun said, Fan Xuande and Stilwell looked at each other, as if this was indeed the case. The U.S. intelligence agencies were not provided for free. What Ouyang Yun didn't know was that from the time he arrived in Guangzhou and annexed the old Cantonese clique,
From that day on, the U.S. intelligence agency set up a special file for him. In this file, his character traits were commented on as "snobbish and never suffers". Fan Xuande was approached by Roosevelt before leaving Washington, and later
The reporter specifically explained how to deal with him. At that time, Roosevelt said this: "Ouyang Yun will definitely open his mouth. Remember, as long as his demands are not too excessive, you will satisfy him. Back then, Wavell paid a huge price to get rid of Ouyang Yun."
Xuebingjun purchased fifty Baijis. Many people thought that he was a waste of money because he was too rich. But I know that it was precisely because of these fifty Baijis that the British army stopped the Japanese army from marching into India.
pace..."
Precisely because he was mentally prepared, Ouyang Yun's words made Fan Xuande feel at ease. His words suddenly turned to the Western journalists' demonstrations and protests, and said: "General, I personally think that your army has adopted some measures on the battlefield.
Any means to deal with the Japanese army is not too much. Those journalists do not understand the cruelty of war. I will ask the American journalists among them to withdraw in the name of the government."
It seemed that it was a topic that the Golden Eagle Baganzi could not discuss together. Stilwell frowned slightly and was about to speak, but when he saw Ouyang Yun looking thoughtful, he quickly bit his lip and was about to speak.
He swallowed it alive. When he was in Cairo, Stilwell didn't like Ouyang Yun. However, when he came to Guangzhou and experienced the prosperity and order of Guangzhou and the strong military production capacity of Xuebing Army, he looked at Ouyang again.
Yun felt that he couldn't see through it, and he couldn't help but feel more scruples in his heart. He would think twice before opening his mouth to say anything. "Perhaps, this is a good breakthrough." He thought in his heart, and then became quiet.
Watching the conversation between Ouyang Yun and Fan Xuande,
"To treat the enemy with kindness is to commit a crime against one's own people. Anyone who has experienced the war will understand this. This war was forced on us by the Japanese, so I think, even if it is just out of patriotic sentiment, how can we
I won’t treat them too much. I don’t want such a war to happen again in the future. Therefore, I will use all possible thunderous means to deal with the Japanese who do whatever they want. I will let their descendants know the cost of invading China...
…" Fan Xuande changed the topic. Ouyang Yun was a little surprised, wondering if he was preparing to play political cards. After thinking for a while, he continued on this topic. Fan Xuande wanted to use this matter to bargain, so he
Don't be afraid at all, because now it is completely Americans who want to learn from the military.
When it came to political topics, the atmosphere entered a slow rhythm. As Ouyang Yun expected, he was not in a hurry. Soon the Americans lost their composure. Naturally, he still ended the topic raised by Fan Xuande.
After criticizing Japan's aggression, Fan Xuande once again changed the topic back to the issue of the golden eagle, "General, you should feel that we have always respected and supported your country's just actions.
, Our government and people are not actually rich, but you have also seen that in order to support your country's just cause, our government and people have generously donated money and provided help within their ability, even if it is to repay the goodwill of our government and people, you
It would not be an exaggeration to give us fifty golden eagles."
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Yun burst into laughter. He laughed and said to Stilwell: "General Stilwell, do you feel friendship and goodwill? Why do I smell the smell that only businessmen have?" At this point, his face turned serious and he said to Fan Xuande: "Mr. Special Envoy, what you said is correct, but what I want to correct is that all of this is based on the fact that we have a common enemy, and this The enemy seems to be very powerful at present, and we need to work together to resist it. For the sake of the friendship between your and our governments and peoples, it is okay for me to give these fighter planes to you, but..."
Before "but", Fan Xuande felt secretly happy, thinking that the homework he had done in advance had worked. After "but", his heart sank, thinking that he still couldn't do what others couldn't do from Ouyang Yun, the iron cock. Pull out even a hair,
"We must see that the Pacific battlefield, the Australian battlefield and the Chinese battlefield are actually closely related. If we can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army in the Chinese battlefield, we will definitely be able to share the pressure for your country in the Pacific and Australian battlefields, so from a strategic perspective , I think it is more necessary for these fighters to be used on the Chinese battlefield first."
Fan Xuande saw that Ouyang Yun had brought the topic back to the original point at the end. He smiled bitterly and could hardly help but say, "Just make an offer." Stilwell smiled, glanced at Fan Xuande and then said: "General, our government is indeed eager to obtain these fifty golden eagles to change the war situation in the Pacific and Australia. Perhaps, we can compensate your army in other ways."
Ouyang Yun nodded: "Well, in order to defeat our common enemy, I hope that your army will directly exchange goods in kind. You two also know that what we lack most now is the naval power that can match the Japanese combined fleet, so I I hope you will still use ships in exchange."
Fan Xuande and Stilwell looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"The cost of a golden eagle is three times that of a dolphin. If coupled with missiles and other necessary weapons and equipment, the price will be around four dolphins. You have bought a dolphin from us. You can calculate the equivalent value first. Right Now, you can choose not to match the missiles for now."
There is no doubt that the cost of the Golden Eagle is higher than that of the Baiji Dolphin, but one is comparable to three Baiji Dolphins. Fan Xuande and Stilwell expressed doubts. Of course, missiles must be equipped, otherwise what is the speed advantage of the Golden Eagle? Talent can be fully utilized. Are just two missiles worth as much as one Baiji Dolphin? Although Fan Xuande and Stilwell were ready to be slaughtered, after calculating the specific price of fifty Golden Eagles, They still hesitated. At this price, fifty Golden Eagles could be exchanged for an aircraft carrier fleet.
Ouyang Yun saw their hesitation and asked him to bring over the cost list of the Golden Eagle. On this cost list, the prices of each component of the Golden Eagle were marked. The most expensive one was the engine, followed by the missile. , and because the endurance of the machine body is very high after the speed increases, the price of the metal materials it is equipped with also rises directly. Fan Xuande and Stilwell originally thought that Ouyang Yun was deliberately opening his mouth, but they saw this cost list. It was difficult to say such things, but because the value involved was too high, they still expressed their intention to seek instructions from Washington.
