The fall of Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not just a simple loss of cities and land for the National Government. These three places have always been important sources of its wealth, accounting for almost half of its fiscal revenue. Of course, Now, with years of savings, the central government does not need to rely on donations from overseas Chinese as it did in the late Anti-Japanese War. However, it has seriously affected the normal operation of the central finance. Therefore, for Chen Lifu’s proposal of "eating Fujian" Old Jiang was quite tempted by the "Guangdong" plan, but due to various reasons, he had no time to pay attention to it for the time being.
The war in Xuzhou was raging, which took a lot of Generalissimo Chiang's mind away from him, and he was not in the mood to think about the matter carefully. Moreover, after dealing with Ouyang Yun many times, he had a certain understanding of his character, and in addition, Not long after the Shangdaheshan Incident, he did not dare to make a desperate move and make a joke that made the Japanese secretly happy.
Chiang Kai-shek was not too concerned about this matter. The emperor was not anxious and the eunuchs were anxious, but Chen Lifu was very enthusiastic about it. Chen Lifu was determined to retaliate, so he made a detailed plan for this. In the plan, he planned to persuade Xue Yue to let him First get a few troops to stimulate the Xuebing Army. No matter what reaction the Xuebing Army makes, it will be an opportunity for him. If the Xuebing Army really dares to risk the disapproval of the world and have another Daheshan Incident, then , he would be much tougher when speaking in front of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and this stimulation could turn into a big fight; if the Xuebing Army chooses to swallow his anger, well, just send in a few more troops, no matter what, how many troops will be captured first? Let’s talk about this place, and then cast a spell to expel the officials appointed by the military government, and the central department will take over directly. As long as we can get this started, Ouyang Yun will not be allowed to use any more tricks in the future. Slaughter the cow with a blunt knife. The Xuebing Army is waiting to be squeezed out of its territory and bullied until it can't bear it. By then, it won't be tolerated anymore. The central government's millions of troops will move over. Even if Ouyang Yun has the courage to do something disobedient, he will have to weigh his own weight. Well, after thinking about it, Chen felt that he was invincible, so he devoted himself to it with great enthusiasm. Let’s not talk about whether the plan was perfect, but he encountered trouble when it was implemented. Xue Yue was not a fool. Although he was very attracted to Ouyang Yun because Dahe Mountain was plotted against him, he would not do such a thankless thing as being used as a target. No matter how hard someone Chen talked, he would not relent and agreed to send troops. Later, Being forced to panic, he directly said: It is not impossible to send troops, but they are all my soldiers. In this way, for 100 yuan a soldier, I will sell it to you directly. As long as you can afford the price, you can take my subordinates. Buy all the soldiers and they will be ready,
Chen came up with such a vicious plan, originally for the sake of making money, but now Xue Yue asked him to lose money first, and the C.C system boss who was making a lot of calculations naturally refused,
This matter has been shelved like this.
On the other side of the ocean, Ouyang Yun did not know that Xuebingjun almost faced a huge test. At this time, because he finally "made peace", he was in an unprecedented mood. After all, on the land of the United States, their Everything he said and did was under surveillance, so that night, he walked into the "Lai Bo" Hotel with the big guys from the National Restoration Organization and followed them closely. There were some American agents who euphemistically claimed to be protecting foreign friends. After tipping off the negotiators of Ford, RCA, and Charles Pfizer, the representatives of the three companies who had always been confident immediately panicked. At this time, the Zionist Organization may still be a mysterious existence to ordinary Americans. But people in the upper class of the United States are aware of its existence, and that's not all, because everyone has either cooperated or been competitors, so they know each other's strength, and they know that things cannot be as simple as imagined. , the participation of the Zionist Organization gave Ouyang Yun another choice, so it was impossible to hold on to the same price. Representatives of the three companies reported the information to their respective headquarters, and then got a new negotiation the next day. policy,
At this time, the Zionist Organization had not yet reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the U.S. government, and this negotiation was originally initiated by the U.S. government. The U.S. government was interested in the great military and strategic significance behind these three patents, and it was important to them. It can be said that these three patents are determined to win. Therefore, there is no problem of joint bidding by the two parties to lower the price. In this way, although the businessmen are still comparing their dollars and cents and want to use words to delay time and seek greater power, the U.S. government Relevant departments and dignitaries could no longer keep their composure, so when the U.S. State Department brought up the national security label, it promised to provide preferential policies to make up for the three companies' choice to make concessions this time. In the end, Ouyang Yun 35% of the proposed target price was the final price, and the four parties signed a patent transfer contract.
Ouyang Yun carefully put away three large checks with a total denomination of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars. He really felt as if he was holding them in his mouth for fear of melting and holding them in his hand for fear of falling.
This is not a check, this is not US dollars, this is an aircraft carrier. With this 100 million, St. George can officially carry out the transformation, and Wallace can also deliver the first ship deposit, and the prototype of the aircraft carrier fleet is ready. , and then add the income from the US representative office to the later expenses month by month, the birth of China's first aircraft carrier fleet is no longer a dream. When Ouyang Yun thought of this, his heart skipped a beat, and his face jumped. Because the blood flow is accelerated, it turns into the color of pig liver.
Ouyang Yun's excitement was obvious, which puzzled the old Dassault: "Dear general, we have a higher price, why should we sell it to the Americans?"
Although Lao Dassault and the others participated in the bidding initially because of Ouyang Yun's request, as they are good at speculation, they really did it as a deal.
The exact value of these three patented technologies is not clear to outsiders, but it is clear to insiders. The Jewish quotation is 15% higher than the American quotation. What is the concept? In other words, Ouyang Yun could have paid more Got 15 million,
Ouyang Yun replied: "Because we still need Americans to help us train soldiers and officers to operate the ship. Aircraft carriers are not pistols. Anyone can use them after just playing with them." He did not tell the truth. Lao Dasuo didn't tell the truth. You would think that when he decided to transfer these three patents, Ouyang Yun had already calculated that the US government would definitely try to obtain these three patents. The reason is that any one of these three patents has irreplaceable military significance. If the Xuebing Army wants to own its own aircraft carrier, it can only turn to external forces, and the only one in the world that can help them is the United States. Therefore, no matter how low the American offer is, in the end, he will sell to the other party. From this Considering this perspective, Americans seem to be quite "kind",
With the money and the cooperation in transferring these three patents, the next thing became easier. With Roosevelt's mediation, Ouyang Yun and Newport News Shipyard, the negotiations between the U.S. Department of the Navy became quite complicated. It went well, of course, but there was a little problem here, because there were too many matters involved, and Americans considered things too comprehensively. They had to sign a contract for everything, and the contract and negotiation time took much longer than Ouyang Yun expected. He stayed in the United States for four days, which forced him to change his original plan and stay in the United States for ten more days.
When Ouyang Yun boarded the cruise ship with several contracts and agreements signed with the U.S. government, several American companies, and the Zionist Organization, the Japanese military finally received its first cadet army in exchange for a woman's lust. technical secrets,
It's a bit of a stretch to say it's a technical secret. Perhaps it's more appropriate to describe it as a design concept, because apart from some figures, this confidential document stolen from Ouyang Yun's desk does not involve any further analysis of parts and components or processing techniques. Of course, in the eyes of some experts from the Japanese Army Ministry, this is already considered a top-secret technical secret, because there is Ouyang Yun's explanation on why the "Jiguang LI Type" should be designed to be so heavy. experience,
As we all know, at that time and space, although the Japanese army was equipped with tanks very early, it developed slowly because it had almost no opponents when it first entered the Chinese battlefield. This directly led to the ravage of the Soviet army in the battle of Nomonhan, and then The Japanese army finally woke up and began to vigorously develop tanks and armored vehicles, but it was too late.
Ouyang Yun has always had an idea, that is, if the Japanese army had not suffered a defeat in Nomonhan, what would the Second World War have been like? There is no doubt that this would be a huge impact on the Soviet Union, and the people who would benefit the most would definitely be The United States, because in this way, once the Japanese army fights in the Far East, due to troop strength issues, it will definitely restrain itself in Southeast Asia, thereby avoiding premature conflict with the United States. Of course, China will definitely be one of the beneficiaries. Because in that case, the focus of the Kwantung Army's strategy will definitely be in the Far East rather than the hinterland of China.
Ouyang Yun's intentions are very sinister. He has been changing the Japanese tank strategic thinking intentionally or unintentionally for a long time. Now he is even better. He takes advantage of others and treats them as Chiang Kai-shek. He imitates Zhou Yu and uses tricks.
Ouyang Yun's design concept for the Jiguang tank can be summed up in seven words: high speed, thick armor, and heavy firepower. The Japanese and the Xuebing Army fought no less than ten tank battles, and never took advantage. , suffered a big loss in Pukou. A regiment of Type 99s, which had high hopes for imitating the Jiguang type, were surrounded and annihilated before they could find a chance to perform. It became a big joke.
Interested people in the Japanese army have been studying the secrets of the Jiguang tank for a long time, and once captured this tank. However, due to various reasons, they have been unable to obtain the support of the military. Now, the technical secrets stolen by Takahashi Ryoko can be It was a great help to them. The big bosses of the Japanese military did not believe in their generals, but they admired the enemies who always defeated the Japanese army. No, it had only been three days since this technical secret was delivered to Tokyo. Several factories in Japan with tank production capabilities received notices from the Ministry of Military Affairs and began to develop new tanks.
