Fan Xuande and Stilwell, including later Roosevelt, never expected that the quotation sheet for the Golden Eagle provided by Ouyang Yun was not inflated, but actually suppressed profits. Compared with old-fashioned propeller aircraft, jet aircraft Because the speed has nearly doubled, the requirements for metal materials and manufacturing processes have greatly increased. What is not known is the research on the aluminum alloy materials used by the Golden Eagle and the metal materials at the core of the engine. and experiments, the Xuebing Army spent nearly 10 million yuan, and if other factors are taken into account, the research cost of the Golden Eagle is worth the cost of an aircraft carrier. According to common practice, the research cost is converted into fighter aircraft. It is recovered within the manufacturing cost, and if this calculation is followed, the unit price of the golden eagle will be six to eight times that of the white-finned dolphin. "Xuebingjun made a lot of war fortune", this is a saying spread by the British. At that time, Wavell made up his mind to buy fifty Baiji Dolphins at a price five times higher than the normal price. From a strategic point of view, it was actually a good deal. However, after overcoming the crisis, the British did not see it that way. They felt that He suffered a big loss, so he came up with the above statement. Roosevelt also had a deep understanding of this when he signed a package cooperation and technology transfer agreement with Ouyang Yun in Cairo, so this statement is also quite popular among high-level officials in the United States. So much so that Roosevelt would give special care before sending Fan Xuande. The chief designer of the Golden Eagle was Hou Debang. Under the influence of Ouyang Yun, he is now accustomed to this kind of lion's open-mouthed style. His reason is that the West Having plundered so much wealth from China, it was a rare opportunity for them to make some blood, so naturally they should not miss it. Therefore, he was very puzzled by Ouyang Yun's lowering the price this time. When sending him away, he found an opportunity to ask: "Ouyang Yun , why should the price of the engine and those materials be set so low, so as to maximize profits?"
The metal materials used in the golden eagle have extremely high requirements for processing technology. It is not impossible to produce it at the current industrial level in the United States, but the cost will be quite high. Ouyang Yun chuckled: "I didn't make this price list, I asked Fox to Hitomi's people made it based on the current industrial strength of the United States plus shipping costs, so it's actually cheaper than Americans producing it themselves."
Hou Debang is such a smart person. He immediately heard the hidden meaning, his eyes lit up and he said: "I understand, you are making plans for the future."
Ouyang Yunxiao: "Yes, I want Americans to buy from us in the future instead of producing independently. I look forward to Americans taking advantage of this small advantage."
While Fan Xuande and Stilwell were busy reporting to the country and requesting instructions, Gu Lianyun had already subdued the group of Western reporters. In a small conference room at the Xuebing Army headquarters, she met with the Westerners who participated in the protests. Reporters, she first let them vent to their heart's content, then took out a stack of photos and took them in front of them, and asked: "Although I have never been a reporter, I know that a competent journalist with a conscience, no matter what he does, Reports should be objective and should not be mixed with personal emotions. I don’t know, when you are concerned about whether Japanese soldiers should enjoy humanity on the battlefield, have you ever thought about our country, our people, and our soldiers? How could they deserve it? We did not start this war between China and Japan. Look, these guys who you say need to be treated humanely, what they have done on and off the battlefield..." These photos, They all record the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, including the torture and murder of Chinese civilians by the Japanese army, and the torture and murder of captured Chinese officers and soldiers. The sources of the latter type of photos are partly collected by Hutong agents behind enemy lines, and some are from Seized after front-line troops killed or captured Japanese journalists accompanying the army,
The reason why journalists from the United Kingdom and the United States launched protests was actually to play on the topic. The Xuebing Army's control over parts and places involving military secrets was too strict, which made it impossible for the spies who were among the journalists but actually played a disgraceful role. Let's start. They have long been dissatisfied with Xuebingjun's control of the news media. This time they are just trying to get Xuebingjun to relax its control in this area. The bloody facts in the photos Gu Lianyun took out are true. It elaborated on the nature of the Japanese army. Those reporters who had a sense of justice couldn't bear to read any more after reading some of it. They all said that if it was such a Japanese army, then they would not care how the Xuebing Army treated them. However, because they themselves have committed crimes against humanity, some people insist that this is just an isolated phenomenon and believe that it cannot be concluded that all Japanese soldiers have participated in the torture and killing of civilians. For these people, Gu Lianyun is very He responded unceremoniously: "Please take a closer look at these photos. They have the designations of the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, etc. Among the Japanese troops in China, none of them have committed such atrocities."
The reporters fell silent, and Gu Lianyun continued: "The Chinese people have always been kind, but some people think that we are weak and can be bullied. I solemnly tell you here that this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen again in the future, no matter which country it is, No matter who it is, as long as they dare to commit crimes against our citizens, regardless of others, our Xuebing Army will definitely seek justice. The burning of the Yamada Regiment this time is actually our response to the Japanese army's consistent atrocities against Chinese civilians. The strongest response ever.”
Among the senior officials of the Xuebing Army, if Gu Lianyun considers herself second in terms of familiarity with foreign affairs, no one would dare to claim first. After so many years of training in the United States, she has become a qualified diplomat. , her statement is actually inappropriate from a diplomatic point of view. The key to diplomatic speech is not to say it to death, so as to leave some room for practical action. The reason why she dared to say this today is because Xue Bing The senior military officials have begun to consider the issue of China's international status after the war. The basis of her words stems from the consensus reached by Ouyang Yun, Jiang Guangnai, Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu and others on China's international status after the war. From then on, China No longer does it need to act based on the opinions of any country or force. China will actively participate in international affairs to actively defend its own interests and become the strongest backing for its people.
Fan Xuande telegraphed the quotation for the Golden Eagle provided by Ouyang Yun back to Washington. After receiving the quotation, the White House immediately convened relevant experts to conduct research. The Americans were studying jet aircraft, but because they were only studying stage, so their so-called experts could not immediately judge whether the quotation was exaggerated. The White House was unable to give a reply. Fan Xuande and Stilwell had to stay in Guangzhou. During this period, Xuebingjun’s money The sculpture is outstanding again,
