Chapter 989 The Abacus of the United States
989 Commander Jiang asked Commander Mao whether Yan'an needed to establish a navy, Commander Mao must have thought about it, but considering the situation in the entire north, Commander Mao did not know where the navy was built.
The north is not as good as the south. There are still harbors in the south, and the Japanese navy dare not approach it, but the north is different and is still fighting now. Japanese warships come to attack at any time, but there is no excellent general in Yan'an, so there is no way to establish a navy.
"You don't have plans? If there is a plan, I think it's the best time to buy warships. The United States is not as good as before. We used to buy American planes and couldn't buy them. Now they will sell everything to us. Now they have something to ask for in China.
Besides, in recent years, the United States has purchased a large number of weapons from our China. In fact, the United States has a lot of economic pressure. At this time, we buy their warships and their planes and tanks. I think they will definitely be happy.
The production speed of American warships is very fast. I sent naval officers to see them before. The production speed is too fast and they want to sell it to us!" Jiang Tongshu walked inside the garden and said to Mao.
"Well, after you say that, I really want to do it. It's not possible to have a warship. Now this opportunity is indeed a good opportunity. After this time, we don't know whether the United States will sell it to us.
Now that we have got the American warships, let alone the others, our engineers can also study the American warships and build our own warships at that time. Your proposal is very good. I thought about it before, but considering that there are no warships, it seems that we have to take some risks.
If it is near the sea, our air force can provide good protection for those navies. It will not be that easy for Japan to attack our warships. Well, I really have to consider it." Commander Mao nodded when he heard Commander Jiang's words.
"If you can recover the Northeast, you will have a chance. I think you will definitely kill the Goryeo devils and then attack Japan in an airstrike. This puts pressure on the Japanese navy and air force. By then, you can establish naval bases in Dalian and Qingdao. I think there is no problem with this." Commander-in-chief Jiang said from the side.
Commander Mao heard this and nodded. He was also concerned about this matter. After the two left in the garden, they went to have breakfast together.
Today they have to announce a lot of things to those reporters, and today they have to discuss matters about industrial development. Chongqing wants to buy American equipment, and Yan'an also has a lot of equipment. Therefore, Chongqing first sees what equipment can be provided in Yan'an, and then they go to the United States to buy it if there is no equipment.
On the United States, it happened to be around 8 o'clock in the evening. Roosevelt was sitting in the office at this time, watching the telegrams collected from China, as well as the telegrams sent by the US special envoy Stilwell and the US ambassador Janssen.
"Good news, it is good news for our current anti-Japanese situation, and it is also good news for the European continent. This meeting between two great Chinese men can determine the overall direction of the Eurasian continent.
I was worried before that after they both sides fought the Japanese troops out, they would fight first. Now it seems that there is no need to worry!" Roosevelt nodded and said after seeing the telegrams.
"Yes, this meeting will also bring us great good news to the United States. Previously, Chongqing sent naval cadres to our United States to visit our warship manufacturing plant. They wanted to purchase our warships, and we have been following up on this matter.
The news they got later was that they were afraid to buy it now because they needed to reach a consensus with Yan'an. Another thing was that this time Chongqing met with Yan'an and discussed dealing with the Japanese on the Southeast Asian islands.
They have not attacked those islands before, and they may discuss this time. Once they decide, our navy, with the cooperation of the Chinese army, will definitely be able to attack those islands.
However, we also have one concern, that is, we are worried that if Chinese troops go up, they will not come down. In other words, we may lose the power in Asia. Judging from the large number of immigrants from Chongqing to Southeast Asia, Chongqing does not want to hand over the land, it is impossible to hand over to the UK or to the local people.
In fact, there are not many people in the local area, and we dare not think about how many people there are on those islands. Maybe there are no more!" Marshall said to Roosevelt.
"This is very likely. China cannot attack those islands for no reason. Without sufficient interests, how could they take the initiative to attack? Now their country is also facing the threat of Germany, and they also need a large number of troops to stay at home to defend.
Now they attacked those islands, maybe they saw that there were not many people in those islands, and that was the resources of those islands.
You have to analyze whether we should fight for those places, and what price will we pay if we fight for them. If we don’t have those islands, can we get compensation from other places, and is it appropriate to compensate?" Roosevelt sat there, thought for a while, and said to them.
"This?" Those people heard it and looked at Roosevelt in confusion. Listening to Roosevelt's meaning, Roosevelt wanted to give up the interests of Southeast Asia, but it seemed that they had to obtain compensation from other places.
"If China can really beat Germany in Southeast Asia, it is impossible for us to control the islands in Southeast Asia. We in the United States are not interested in those islands.
Our interests, in America and Europe, if China can support us in gaining benefits from America and Europe, what if Asia’s interests give them?” Roosevelt said to the generals.
"What are the interests of America?" an aide asked in confusion.
"Why is America not profitable? Isn't Canada interest? If Canada is included in our territory of the United States, then we will be completely bordered with Alaska. Canada has more resources than Asia!" A general said, looking at the staff member.
"Then, this place is from the UK. Can the UK agree?" another staff member said.
"British, hum, huh, is there any Britain?" At this time, another general spoke.
"Yes, Britain has now lost its country. The king and officials of the United Kingdom are on our side. In Canada, we don't know how many British people there are now!" The other staff members nodded and said.
There is no need to consider the British affairs at all. The colonies that Britain controls now have been lost. India is now controlled by Japan, Southeast Asia is controlled by China, and Australia and Canada are also controlled by Japan.
When the United States defeats Japanese troops, it really doesn't know who Canada belongs to. The United States will definitely not be able to return Canada to Britain, because there may be few British people in Canada. Japanese troops like to massacre and are famous all over the world.
"I think China will not object to the interests of Canada and Europe, but we should not object to the interests of Asia. On the contrary, it is very beneficial for us to dispatch troops to attack the devils on the islands now.
If those islands are attacked, then our navy will be able to directly threaten Australia. At that time, Japan may not have the strength to continue to attack us in the United States.
My opinion is that China hopes that China will dispatch troops as soon as possible to lift our US dangerous alliance. Now we do not have enough troops to continue to consume with Japan. Japan has obtained so many troops, which is not something that we in the US can compare with.
And China, this country is so magical. They have 400 million or 500 million people. You said that China is inexhaustible in the source of troops here, so we are very different from China!” Roosevelt said.
When the generals heard this, they nodded. The United States now has more than 100 million troops, but the recruitment of more than 10 million troops. If the people who serve the troops later are included, it may exceed 30 million.
Nowadays, many women are recruited to the army logistics forces to serve, because men have to go to the battlefield. In China, women at most serve in hospitals and telegraph departments. In the United States, in addition to combat positions, many positions are women.
"So, if China wants to fight Southeast Asia, we will send our navy to support them in landing operations and keep them going to Australia?" Marshall said to Roosevelt.
"Well, this is the best, but we also need to evaluate our gains and losses to see if this is the most beneficial to the United States. If it is the most beneficial, it is okay to give up the interests of Southeast Asia!" Roosevelt said.
"Well, I hope this is the case, because this will be a lot lower for us in the United States, and our economic pressure is not that great. We have purchased a large number of Chinese weapons now. If China purchases our warships, I think we can save a lot of money." Marshall said.
"Reported, General Stilwell sent a telegram. He had requested the two Chinese commanders, hoping to talk to the two commanders in the afternoon of China time. The two Chinese commanders have agreed and agreed to meet General Stilwell at 2 pm." At this time, a secretary came in with a telegram sent from China and said.
