Chapter 705: The US Aid Can't Be Missed
Chapter 705 US aid is not to be missed
"Don't be polite, Americans have a strong foundation! Since they have spoken, they have to double the amount. No matter how much supplies there are, Americans have to pinch their noses! They have no choice!" Meng Xiang directly returned the list of aid materials formulated by the General Staff to ask the United States for help, and directly spoke and gave them a message.
"The US Pacific Fleet was paralyzed, and the reserve main ships were either blocked in the Atlantic Ocean or were still on the ship platform. The 1.5 million regular troops that had just been gathered in China lacked training, and the group of comfortable young soldiers could not adapt to the cruel war. Both the navy and the army lacked time to complete the army, and now the world is looking for cannon fodder." Meng Xiang continued,
"Since Americans have the intention to find mercenaries, they have to accept the high price of hiring life. We Chinese are not elsewhere, and now every name is precious!"
Yu Dawei next to him smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.
A group of experts familiar with the United States formulated a list of bargaining against the United States, which surprised him, but Meng Xiang was still very dissatisfied with it. Naturally, he did not know the generosity of Americans in another time and space, but he also felt that Meng Xiang's analysis made some sense.
"There are also some adjustments on these lists. We do not lack weapons and ammunition. Even if the Air Force and Navy equipment, we have other cheaper ways and do not need American goods." Meng Xiang was really not satisfied. He didn't even see the military material assistance proposed by the Americans. With the base, he could use various classic World War II weapons, even post-war weapons and super weapons in the red alert. Why do you need more politically sensitive American goods?
"We should choose these key points. First, we should choose some industrial technologies, or focus on petrochemicals, metal smelting, etc.!" Meng Xiang focused on the advantageous industries of the United States.
With the help of the chaos in recent years, absorbing nutrition from industrial countries around the world, China has introduced a large number of technologies and machines from Germany, Britain, France, the United States, and even the Soviet Union and other small European countries, and the industrial system has completed the preliminary foundation. The rest of the time is mainly used to digest and absorb to build China's own unique industrial civilization.
In recent years, although Huaxia Industry has undergone earth-shaking development and changes, the initially built industrial system products have gradually reduced their import scale, and have begun to replace foreign goods in all walks of life with low-cost domestic goods and become the mainstream in the market.
Those low-tech industrial systems have a large number of related technologies and machines in Europe, and domestic production can also be expanded by themselves. In order to drive the development of domestic production and scientific and technological forces, these are naturally solved and improved. In the follow-up adjustment plan of China's first five-year plan, many of the newly added factories have already been labeled with the nameplate of "Made in China".
In this way, the focus of imported and imported machines and technologies will be explored towards high-level technologies and machines.
Unconsciously, Meng Xiang's conditions and vision were higher. When he thought of the advantages of the United States' industrial advantages, he actually found that the Americans' industrial technology level was not too high in many aspects of this era.
When it comes to the United States during World War II, what impressed the most was its massive industrial manufacturing capabilities and its most balanced and complete comprehensive industrial system. However, in this era, the center of science and technology was in Europe. Only after World War II and gaining a large amount of technology and talents from Europe did American science and technology have experienced rounds of super-scale explosions, overwhelming the entire Europe.
Before, even the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, and even the Soviet Union had some special technology fields, not to mention that Germany and Britain created many firsts in the history of science and technology. Some of the World War II weapons myths in later generations were created by standing on the shoulders of the ultra-high-tech level of Europe, and at the peak of technology in this world.
Although Americans directly submerged the Germans who had never unified the European industrial system with the industrial scale comparable to the entire Europe, when Meng Xiang chose the cornerstone of the industry, he mainly chose German standards that were more cost-effective in trading, assisting other European technologies such as the United Kingdom. The focus of absorbing American nutrition was only on petrochemicals, large-scale metallurgical manufacturing, etc.
Of course, Americans also have the world's top technology in some aspects, but it is absolutely impossible to be included in the aid list. This is also one of the reasons why Meng Xiang is interested in American aid technology.
"Note that we need not only technology, but also their relatively reasonable management system. Putting aside the excessive exploitation regulations, their industrial management is still very scientific." Meng Xiang reminded again. Americans are at the forefront of the world in terms of industrial management and economic management. However, although these are important, they are all the more important and are no longer on the list of aid.
"What we need most is real things. In addition to some of the troublesome machines we produce, industrial raw materials are the key points we ask for. The number of scrap railways here is several times more. We also need to build more railways, and the domestic railway production capacity cannot keep up!" The development of American automobiles led to the depression of railways, and a large number of railway tracks were demolished. China had imported a large amount of imports in large quantities, but with the fierce European war, steel and other strategic materials were restricted. Americans couldn't help but banned the sale of Japan and were also reluctant to sell to China. Such an opportunity happened to be a big hit.
"Scrap steel can be used directly in electric furnaces. However, the power consumption of the base has increased now, so it is better to limit this one!" Meng Xiang continued to think about it.
"Rubber? This is not needed. The rubber production of Chinese rubber plantations and shadow companies in Nanyang is sufficient. The base can directly replenish consumables such as tires."
"Nonferrous metals? This is not necessary. The production and output of foreign sub-bases is sufficient. There is not much surplus grain in the United States, and the price is not cheap, which is not cost-effective." Meng Xiang also cut off another one, "If you have a base, you don't have to consider military supplies. The non-ferrous metal mines that have been built in China have met the needs of civilians."
"As for light industrial products such as quilts and canned food, our China Manufacturing has been exported to Europe, squeezing a lot of American goods. They still want to use these as military aid? Sigh!" The product catalogues offered by the Americans were also cut off.
"Can foreign wine, coffee, and tobacco be listed in the catalog? These luxury goods still need to be imported under the name of the country? Who handled these? Check it out!" Meng Xiang swept this article and couldn't help but snorted coldly, "There are so many famous wines in China, and tobacco are not enough? If someone wants to taste foreign goods, they can directly go to Europe and Africa to provide assistance! Our aid team will be ready to expand in the next step."
"Drugs? We can be self-sufficient. This year, another 50 pharmaceutical factories will be built, which can directly calm down the demand for private medicines and smoothly promote the implementation of medical insurance policies. As for military supplies, there is still a surplus in base construction. Even American penicillin orders have been delivered to us, so where do you still need to import theirs?"
"Vehicles? No need, the base's military supplies are sufficient! Automobile factories in Shandong, Shaanxi, Wuhan, Shanghai and Tianjin can also solve some civilian use. They know that we have many aircraft, so they will automatically cancel the transport aircraft."
"Food? This can be found. In the next two or three years, we must be careful of domestic disasters, and international food demand will be more strong. Taking this opportunity to store more cheap food from Americans is also good. Now Americans have less food, so it's hard to say afterwards." Meng Xiang had a plan in his mind that although the domestic food harvest is another bumper this year, during the war, the food is hard currency and there is no time to be too much.
The smoke of war in the future will be wider, and the food will only become more and more tight. It is hard to say that Americans with extremely rich items in their previous lives will be so luxurious to be young masters in the future.
"The oil, this also needs some. Although it can be transported directly from the Middle East branch, it still needs some concealment on the surface. In addition to those British and American shadow companies, it also needs to make suspicious Americans feel more at ease."
...
"Now we are going to go to war with Japan?" Fan Zhong, who was standing beside him, couldn't help asking as Meng Xiang carefully outlined the entries of US aid supplies.
Although he didn't know Meng Xiang's driving force behind it, he knew some of Meng Xiang's plans for Japan and the United States. The war between Japan and the United States means that China can be a fisherman in Southeast Asia. The war has just begun, and China is going to intervene, which obviously does not meet the demand for huge profits.
"Going war with the Japanese? Aren't we fighting with them now?" Meng Xiang was stunned.
"Our current combat focus is still on the northern Soviet Union. Aren't we still maintaining a moderate confrontation against Japan?" Fan Zhong reminded.
"Yes! This moderate confrontation will continue to be maintained!" Meng Xiang saw Fan Zhong keep aiming at the U.S. aid in his hand, and naturally knew his concerns and couldn't help but laugh, "But the opportunity to knock the Americans off will not be spared. As long as we set aside one million new recruits, it will be enough to make the Americans bleed. We don't think there are less billions of billions of dollars."
Fan Zhong's mouth quickly recedes.
"At the beginning, we were just making small fuss, keeping friction and not affecting the overall situation of the Japanese and Americans' clash. We were still waiting for the Japanese to charge forward and create more opportunities for us!" Meng Xiang smiled again.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the corner of the table and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "I hope the Japanese will create another miracle this time and solve the troubles of Australia and India together!"
