Chapter 1127
Naturally, Yang Fan would not do a loss-making business, and it was impossible to spend precious wealth to give blood transfusions to the Soviet Union.
But there is a workaround here, that is, Yang Fan can be an intermediary, sign a targeted purchase and sales contract, be responsible for purchasing the weapons, equipment and military supplies needed by the Soviet Union from the United States, and then be responsible for safe transportation to the Soviet Union.
Dongxing Trading Group now has not only several 10,000 tons of transport ships, but also has an escort fleet of a certain scale. Although this escort fleet is more symbolic than actual existence, it cannot compete with the Japanese fleet and the German submarine forces at all.
But it is impossible to resist Yang's system, and he can pay a express delivery fee to ensure transportation safety.
This operation has three major benefits. It not only makes a certain difference, but also makes the Soviets owe a lot of money and huge favors, greatly reducing the transportation losses of the Allied materials!
Spending a little money can extend the lives of the fighting nations. Letting them stand in front and absorb more firepower is equivalent to allowing the Chinese nation to reduce casualties and save more energy. This transaction will naturally make a lot of money.
Maybe it was impossible to sign a large order at the beginning, but with Yang Fan's current methods and resources, it is absolutely no problem to make a few small orders worth millions of dollars, and to save some character and reputation.
Once the Americans believe that they can miraculously and without damage, even if Yang Fan doesn’t ask the Americans for orders, the Americans will cry and shout to ask Yang Fan to help "unified purchase and sales"!
As for post-war interest disputes, that is what happened in the future. The most important thing at present is to fight against the invasion of the Axis Alliance, so that the Allied camps can achieve final victory as soon as possible, and the Chinese nation will get rid of suffering as soon as possible and achieve great rejuvenation as soon as possible!
"I do have a way to transport supplies to the Soviet Union. As for the risk level of the process and the transportation losses, you don't have to worry or worry about it. You just need to pay as much as you want!"
After careful weighing the pros and cons, Yang Fan threw away his thoughts and nodded confidently and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money now. You can wait until the war is over before repaying it slowly, but you have to pay a certain amount of interest according to international practice.
What do you think and comment about this proposal?”
"Is this really possible?"
Andrey shivered all over and reached out to grab Yang Fan's hand tightly and said, "General Yang, as long as you can safely deliver supplies to the local Soviet ports, it will really help us a lot. No matter how much interest is, it is not a problem!"
Although he didn't know where Yang Fan got his confidence and courage, and he didn't know what means Yang Fan used to safely deliver supplies to the local port of the Soviet Union, Andrei did not doubt Yang Fan's ability.
Yes, the process is not important, what matters is the result.
"It's good if there is no objection. Let's take action immediately. You are responsible for giving this situation a feedback report to Comrade Stalin and putting a list of demands. I am responsible for sending people to convince the Americans and letting them hand over the demand orders to our Dongxing Trading Company for operation!"
"Okay, okay! The great Soviet will always remember this great friendship. After the war is won, the Soviets will definitely repay it twice as much!"
Andre was really excited. Although things had not changed much on the surface, he still produced weapons and military supplies from the United States, and then had to cross the ocean to transport them to the Soviet Union, and even let Yang Fanyan pluck her hair.
But the problem is that the Americans now have very limited transportation capacity, and the transportation process is particularly lossy, so the military supplies provided for assistance are no longer in a hurry.
If you can spend more money and greatly increase transportation efficiency and success rate, it will be equivalent to having more chances of winning and more potential for war.
At this time, whether it is money or not is really not important, saving one's life is the most important thing.
On the morning of July 9, the White House, the Oval Office.
Not long after President Roosevelt started working today, he welcomed two uninvited guests: the Soviet military attaché William Marshall Blitt, and the head of Dongxing Trading Company, Xia Houcheng.
After some in-depth discussion, President Roosevelt finally sent away the two guests who visited the door and promised to carefully consider their request.
After the secretary closed the office door, President Roosevelt turned to look at Secretary of State Hull and said, "Hull, what do you think about this?"
"This proposal is indeed incredible and incomprehensible."
Hull pondered: "It is understandable that merchants seek profit, and it is understandable that the Soviets seek medical treatment in a hurry, but I can't imagine how Dongxing Trading Company can deliver goods safely to the Soviet Union!
You know, even if the powerful United States of America has a large number of warships escorted, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the route!
Did they find any unknown safe route? It seems unlikely!”
Marshall interrupted: "That's right, I'm puzzled by this proposal. Dongxing Trading Group has developed very rapidly in recent years, has strong economic strength, and has even tended to evolve into a business empire.
But the fleet they have is just a commercial transport fleet and does not have the ability to open routes independently!”
Roosevelt frowned and said, "But their proposal seems to be sincere, and from any perspective, this matter is not risky to our American government. It seems that we have no reason to refuse?"
Roosevelt was indeed fooled. He really didn't understand what the Soviets were building. He actually believed that Dongxing Trading Company's trans-ocean transportation capacity was stronger than that of the United States!
After discussion, the three of them still couldn't figure out the joints, until Hull woke up President Roosevelt with one sentence: "His Excellency President, I think the process is not important at this time, we just need a good result.
The Soviets were indeed at stake, and our United States of America could no longer meet their war needs!
What's more, we are fighting on the North African battlefield now, and if we are not careful, Egypt and the Suez Canal will give in.
The American people are almost overwhelmed and there is indeed a need for a new breakthrough point.
As His Excellency the President said, this plan does not have any risks to the United States, and once they really have the ability to open a safe new route and can quickly and safely deliver supplies to the Soviet Union, it will be equivalent to helping the United States solve the biggest problem of course!"
After a pause, Hull said in a persuasive tone: "His Excellency the President, every time we transport it across the ocean to the Soviet Union, we will lose more than $5 million in supplies under the attack of enemy submarine forces!
