The British, who had received Suri's promise to deliver the above-mentioned fighter jets to the UK within half a month, left with satisfaction. The Americans who were eager to get the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber also left with satisfaction. Only Suri was left in the office.
, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Liang Zhi and many others.
With a long sigh of relief, Su Rui just turned his attention to everyone, and Bai Chongxi, who was a little impatient, said eagerly: "Zhongxin, how can you sell our heavy bombers to the Americans so easily? This is not a matter of national importance."
Are we going to hand over the weapon to outsiders? Once the Americans turn against us, we will lose a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy."
"Jiansheng, how can you talk like that? Zhongxin certainly has his reasons for doing this, Zhongxin, don't you think so?" Li Zongren, who was beside him, was a calm man and said something to Bai Chongxi. But why couldn't Su Rui hear it? This guy Ming
He was talking about Bai Chongxi, but secretly he was still questioning him secretly.
Su Rui turned around and looked at everyone. Liang Zhi's face remained unchanged, while Xu Zuyi and Liao Lei looked shocked. It was obvious that they were still frightened by the news of the $200 million in the account.
I sighed secretly, it seems that a person's foresight may not always be beneficial.
After sorting out his language, Su Rui said: "Gong De, Brother Jiansheng, I know that you must think it is inappropriate for me to sell our housekeeping items to the Americans and the British, right?"
"Of course." Bai Chongxi, who was a little impatient, said first: "Zhongxin, although I have only been in the Fourth Theater Zone for a short time, I have already heard about the reputation of the air force in your hands. To be honest, the Fourth Theater Zone can have the reputation it has today.
and record, I think the Air Force accounts for at least half of the credit. It is precisely because of those advanced fighters that our Air Force can resist the attacks of the Japanese Air Force that are several times larger than mine. It is also with the help of a powerful fleet of aircraft.
, we were able to continuously attack the city and regain the lost territory. Now if you sell them like this, our secret will be gone."
After hearing Bai Chongxi's words, Su Rui did not answer directly. Instead, he turned to look at Li Zongren and asked, "Gong De, I believe you have the same view."
Li Zongren nodded slightly: "Zhongxin, I usually think that although you are young, you are very mature in your work. How could you sell our housekeeper to the British and Americans just for money today? This is not like you.
His character."
"Well, it seems that everyone thinks so." Su Rui smiled slightly, and then shook his head: "Gong De, Brother Jiansheng, you only know one thing about this matter but not the other." Su Rui solemnly said
Said: "You only see me selling things to the Americans so easily, but you don't know that the Americans are already studying this kind of aircraft. Whether it is the P-47 or the B-24 Liberator, the Americans are
We are working hard to research, and their prototype can be built next year at most. If we sell it to them now, we can still make some money, but if we keep it in our hands, it will not be worth it when the Americans also develop it next year.
Already."
"So that's it." Li Zongren nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Zhongxin, if what I expected is correct, this kind of thing should be an American military secret. How did you know about it?
?”
"Yes, Zhongxin, how did you know that?"
This time, not only Li Zongren, but also Bai Chongxi, Liang Zhi and others cast suspicious eyes on him. Especially Liang Zhi, he knew the source of Su Rui's information. Most of them relied on the channel of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Liang Zhi
But it is very clear. Through the efforts of himself and Yu Xueying, the Military Intelligence Agency may have a certain strength at home, but when it comes to China, it can only stare blankly. But this Chief Su can now clearly tell the secrets of the US military.
, what does this mean? This means that in addition to the Military Intelligence Bureau, Chief Su should also have an intelligence network that he does not know about, and this intelligence network is unknown to even himself and Yu Xueying. Thinking of this, Liang Zhi couldn't help but feel
He was startled, and could not help but feel a little more in awe of Suri.
At this time, Su Rui didn't know that Liang Zhi on the side had a lot of thoughts because of his words. At this time, he was worried about how he could complete this lie.
"This... Well, I also accidentally learned about this from another channel. You don't need to worry about where I learned it from, but I can guarantee that this news is true."
After listening to Su Rui's words, even Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at him with meaningful glances, and said to themselves: "This little brother has such a wide range of paths. He can even get hold of American military secrets."
Bai Chongxi asked again: "Brother Su, since you want to sell it, why do you sell it so expensively? Aren't you afraid that the British will fall out with you?"
Su Rui couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What Brother Jiansheng said is different. When doing business, it's a matter of willingness to fight and others to suffer. We didn't force them to buy. And the reason why I sold it so expensive is because
Once this batch of aircraft is in their hands, with the strength of the British and Americans, they will definitely study these two fighters thoroughly in the shortest possible time. The Americans and the British also understand that I sold them the first batch of aircraft.
The reason why it’s so expensive is because it includes authorized production and the use of patents, so it’s not expensive at all.”
"Is there such a thing?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Rui couldn't help but secretly sigh. It seems that the word patent is still far away in the hearts of Chinese people. But it's no wonder, let alone the Chinese people at this time, even if it takes another half a century, the Chinese people will not care about genuine products.
The concepts of copyright are still not very clear.
Bai Chongxi thought for a moment and then asked: "Then according to what you said, isn't this a one-and-done deal? In the future, the British and Americans will never have to buy from us again?"
"It's not such a simple thing." Su Rui laughed: "It's one thing for them to research it, but it's another thing to produce it on a large scale. Now the British have been bombed by the Germans and are completely devastated.
Where can we still have the ability to mass-produce aircraft? The same goes for Americans. Their country's economy has not yet switched to a display economic system, and they will not be able to mass-produce aircraft for a while. So you just wait and see. They still have to do this business.
Keep asking us to do it. Don’t the British still have US$4.5 billion in foreign exchange reserves? Sooner or later they will have to put that money into our pockets.”
"What? Four and a half billion dollars?"
Everyone present was shocked. The US$4.5 billion these days is not what it will be in later generations. There are so many things that can be done with so much money. If they can get all this money, how much can they do?
ah?
Now even the most stable Li Zongren could not calm down, "Zhongxin, are you sure the British can take out all these things to buy our weapons and supplies?"
"It's impossible to let them all use it to buy our supplies." Su Rui laughed: "After all, Americans are much stronger than us in terms of strength, and we can't put all the money into our own pockets.
, that will make people hate you. But I guess it won’t be a big problem to make two billion. Mr. De, you have to be prepared. I will leave this business to you. From now on,
If Sir Carl comes to us to do business again, this matter will be your responsibility. You must remember that you must not be soft on those British people. You must extort money from them. The British have been stealing money from all over the world in the past hundred years.
How many good things have been obtained in our colonies, now it is our turn to bleed them."
Li Zongren also laughed when he heard this: "Haha... Zhongxin, don't worry, I won't be lenient."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed. After talking about this matter, everyone got back to business and brought the topic to the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.
He suppressed the smile on his face and said: "Zhongxin, it seems that the Japanese are really crazy. They have stopped attacking the Kuomintang-controlled areas and are constantly shrinking their troops and starting to plan attacks on us. Just now, Ziran, Yan Mouhe and
Yannong has put forward his own opinions, what do you think?"
Su Rui pondered for a while and said slowly: "Gong De, my opinion is different from theirs. I think it is not a good idea to simply wait for the Japanese to attack. Since the Japanese will attack sooner or later, why can't we take the initiative to attack them?"
What if the Japanese attack?"
"Active attack?" Li Zongren hesitated for a moment and then said: "Zhongxin, it would be great if we could take the initiative to attack. But the problem now is that we are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the reorganization work has just begun, and the troops are still insufficient. If we take the initiative to attack
If Japan launches an attack, a large number of troops will inevitably be mobilized. If the Japanese take the opportunity to attack me from another direction, we will lose sight of one thing!"
Su Rui nodded: "What you said, Mr. De, is indeed mature and prudent, but I think as long as we don't deploy too many troops, I don't think it will have much impact."
Frowning, Li Zongren asked: "Then how many troops do you want to deploy and from which direction do you want to attack the Japanese?"
"Everyone, please come and have a look!" Su Rui stood up, walked to the desk, stood still, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please come and have a look!"
After that, Su Rui pointed to the map and said to everyone: "Please see, according to the latest intelligence, the Japanese have mobilized no less than eight divisions to attack us from three directions: Hubei, Anhui and Zhejiang.
Among them, the newly appointed commander of the 11th Army in the Hubei direction, Sonobe Kazuichiro, is the most active. This old devil has mobilized a total of three divisions, the 6th, 13th, and 39th, to attack our front lines of Jiujiang, Ruichang, and Xiushui.
, if we can fight back these three divisions first, then the remaining Japanese troops in Anhui and Zhejiang will not be a concern."
After Su Rui said that, he hammered his hand heavily on the table...
