Jiang Baili on the side thought for a while and said cautiously: "Mr. Hawkins, can you explain in more detail?"
Hawkins paused and then a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "General Su, it's better for you to decide some things yourself. But I think your influence on your country is far less than your contribution to your country.
"
Hawkins's obscure and suggestive words made the atmosphere in the small living room suddenly become a little weird. Su Tong shook his head and gave Hawkins an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hawkins, we appreciate your kindness.
But the current situation in our country is not very good, and we still need to study this matter carefully."
After hearing Su Tong's tactful rejection, Hawkins was not disappointed. He just smiled and said nothing. Su Tong gritted his teeth and cursed in his mind. This Hawkins suggestion was very tempting, but is it really appropriate to start his own business now?
For a moment, our Chief Su felt as if there were a hundred rats crawling around in his heart, tickling his heart.
Jiang Baili on the side is much calmer than Su Tong in this regard. That is because he, who is nearly sixty years old, has gone through many more similar temptations and experiences than the young Chief Su, and his mental quality is naturally much stronger.
So he just smiled slightly and changed the topic, "Dear Mr. Hawkins, let's talk about your country's cooperation with us now. I think you must have a certain foundation and strength to do anything.
, otherwise it will only be a castle in the air, what do you think?”
Seeing that the other party remained calm after understanding his hint, Hawkins secretly praised him, laughed and changed the topic, "Well, last time I talked to General Su about assisting your country's navy.
I haven’t reported to His Excellency the President and the Government yet, but before that I still have a question that I would like to ask General Su and General Chiang to answer.”
"Mr. Hawkins, please," Su Tong said solemnly, having come back to his senses.
"Well, I would like to ask if our government provides large-scale naval assistance to you, will it affect the friendship between you and Germany?" Hawkins asked solemnly.
"Damn, this old fox, has the agreement been reached? Are you trying to sow discord now?" Su Tong cursed in his heart, but he still had to do enough on the surface: "Mr. Hawkins, what we have always advocated is to let the people enjoy
A good life and being able to bathe in the air of freedom and openness after the war. Any country or force that violates this premise, no matter how powerful they are, will never let us bow, just like we dealt with that little shoemaker in Georgia."
After hearing this, Hawkins nodded with satisfaction. Su Tong's words were clearly telling him that Chahar would not bow to forces like the Soviet Union and Japan. You Americans don't have to worry about your hard work being wasted.
drift.
He also knew that no one here was given free money. Everyone knew the purpose of the United States' aid to Chahar, which was to rely on Chahar's navy to contain the Japanese's aggressive moves in the Pacific, and also to rely on Chahar's army.
Resist Stalin's ambitions in the Far East.
Su Tong also made it very clear in his words. If you want us to block the bullet for you, you have to come up with ready-made benefits. Don't expect to play the trick of a white wolf with empty gloves.
"Also, regarding the naval issue, I think your country should increase its assistance. I think a few cruisers alone cannot resist the ambitious Japanese. Your country should also increase its support for us."
Now that everyone has spoken out, Su Tong no longer has so many scruples about speaking.
"I think what Chahar lacks now is a powerful fleet that can compete with the Japanese. If you want to compete with the Japanese in the Pacific, you must have an aircraft carrier. What do you think?"
Hawkins frowned after listening to Su Tong's words. Although Su Tong's words sounded like a lion's mouth at first, an aircraft carrier was needed. In this case, the United States' support for Chahar would not be as strong as usual.
Chahar's request for an aircraft carrier from the United States is not something that can be settled by the United States throwing an aircraft carrier. What is important is the subsequent troubles. If you give someone an aircraft carrier, they have made it clear before. They do not have that many professionals and
Logistics support personnel, these all need the help of the United States to train. And can one aircraft carrier alone form a combat capability? No, there must be other supporting ships and many related issues. If the United States decides to send Chahar
If you provide an aircraft carrier, it will be equivalent to announcing to the world that it is working hard to create its own spokesperson in Asia. It is impossible to say how the Soviet Union and Japan will react at that time, but the United States is ready now.
Are you coping with it all?
Seeing Hawkins sitting silently on the sofa, Su Tong did not rush to urge him. Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to Jiang Baili beside him. He lit it and puffed out a few cigarettes leisurely.
Circle, anyway, the ball has been kicked to the Americans, it depends on how they respond.
Hawkins thought for a long time before he smiled apologetically at Su Tong and Jiang Baili, "Sorry General Su, this matter has exceeded the scope of my authorization. I must submit a report to the president and the government before I can reply to you. Please forgive me.
"
Su Tong still smiled and nodded generously, "It doesn't matter, we should be waiting for your good news at any time."
Jiang Baili on the side also interrupted at the right time: "Mr. Hawkins, in order to deepen our understanding of each other, we would like to invite you to visit our recruit training base and several of our military industrial zones in the next few days. I don't know if you
Are you interested?"
Hawkins said with great joy: "Oh, I wish I could have asked for it. I am very honored to accept your invitation." Hawkins has always been eager to know about Chahar's military production and research and development capabilities, but due to the sensitivity of military technology, Chahar
Hal has always kept a close eye on this aspect. The strict guarding and defense measures in the military industrial zone are not just for show, so the U.S. government's intelligence on this aspect has always been like looking through the fog. The layer behind it seems to be thin.
But he couldn't see clearly at all. Now it was rare for Chahar to take the initiative to invite him. How could Hawkins not be overjoyed?
Seeing the uncontrollable joy on Hawkins's face, Su Tong and Jiang Baili looked at each other and smiled. Although Americans must support themselves to compete with Japan and Soviet Russia, they must also show corresponding strength, otherwise not only will others look down on themselves,
Moreover, in future cooperation, one's own side will also fall into a relatively weak position. Because a force that is too weak is not qualified to negotiate cooperation with a powerful force, and even if it cooperates, it will be reduced to the role of a thug.
After the three of them had finished talking about business, they started talking about romance. Well, don't get me wrong, it was not what everyone imagined. Instead, they talked about everything from astronomy, geography, military and politics. At this time, Hawkins's advantage became apparent. As a Harvard student in the United States,
A top student in the university and a senior staff member of the President of the United States, his vision and vision are not comparable to ordinary people. His words made Su Tong and Jiang Baili admire him. Seeing that his knowledge and knowledge are not just bragging, he does have a way.
.
However, Jiang Baili on the side is not unworthy. He can be respected as a Chinese military theorist by later generations of Chinese people. He himself has studied in Europe and studied at a high-level military academy in Germany. He is also very capable in terms of military literacy and vision. They
One was a senior staff member of the President of the United States, and the other was a leading figure in the Chinese military community. They had a very pleasant conversation. Our Chief Su knew that in terms of real talent and learning, he was far behind these two talented people, so he
Most of the time he just shut up and drank tea, but sometimes he revealed some theories from later generations, which made the eyes of the two people next to him brighten up, giving people a feeling of great wisdom and foolishness.
"This is a leader who doesn't like to be in the limelight but is very smart, wise and far-sighted." This is how Hawkins now evaluates Su Tong.
Su Tong and the other three chatted in the small living room. In the large living room, Alice, the nurse, and Yulia also had a great conversation. Especially Yulia and Alice, one of them is a Russian aristocrat and the other is an American.
She is the president's niece, and both of them have relatively upright surnames. It can be said that they met each other late, and the more they talked, the happier they became, and they almost cut off the chicken's head and kowtowed to become sworn brothers.
On the contrary, the reaction of Xia Juzuo and the nurse's sister, the little girl, was a bit dull. Xia Juzuo has an instinctive vigilance towards unfamiliar people because of his surname and occupation, while the little girl Huang Ya is afraid that her sister will come back to her again.
Having one more sister makes her a little wary of Alice. Well, but she is already seventeen years old, and who can guess the thoughts of this slim and graceful little girl?
"Yuliya, what brand of perfume are you using? The scent is so unique." Alice asked Yulia curiously at this time.
Even women can’t help but be intoxicated by it.
Yulia half-leaned on the sofa and caressed her already towering belly, and said with a happy smile: "It's nothing, this is a perfume specially given to a few of us by Tong. This perfume can be
It's amazing. The same perfume will emit different scents according to different people's bodies when sprinkled on different women. For example, our three sisters all use the same perfume, but the scents are completely different. You can smell it again.
look"
"Really?" Alice's big blue eyes suddenly lit up. What she smelled when she was next to the little nurse was indeed a fragrance completely different from Yulia's. It was a light and distant fragrance. Again
Only after seeing the faint smile and slight nod on the little nurse's face did Yulia believe this fact.
"Oh God, this is really a magical perfume. Where did you buy it? I want to buy it too." Alice's beauty-loving nature came into full play, and she asked Yulia about the origin of the perfume.
