Chapter 1413 How to repay the money!
1413 After Hu Bin left, Marshall stood there, looking at the document, and felt a headache.
He knew that the money had to be given, but the United States had no money now, and he didn't know how to give it to Hu Bin, so now, he could only look at this number and didn't know what to do.
"Chief of Staff, why did General Hu come here just now?" At this time, Patton came in and asked as he looked at Marshall.
Marshall heard it and showed him the documents directly.
Patton didn't know what it was. He opened it and looked at it, and he knew it was the money he had to pay to China this time. Patton turned it back, more than 600 million!
"No, so many?" After seeing this number, Patton blurted out in surprise, and then looked at Marshall who was standing there and not talking.
"I looked at it, there is no problem, we have confirmed it here!" Marshall said.
"This, this, I have to give them so much?" Patton asked as he looked at Marshall.
"According to the agreement, we want to give them so much, but we have no money in the United States. This report is sent to the president. It is estimated that the president will not be able to sleep for half a month.
Moreover, the accounts in Alaska have not yet been settled. Damn, Hu Bin comes to us to fight in the United States. The effect is very obvious, but it is also expensive!" Marshall touched his head, and he didn't know what to do?
"Can we not give it?" Patton asked looking at Marshall.
"Don't give it? Hu Bin's troops are here, and if not give it, China will have more troops coming. Do you think you can block Hu Bin's troops?" Marshall asked at Patton.
When Patton heard this, he thought for a moment, and shook his head honestly. He could not stop Hu Bin's counterattack, so he could not give it to him!
"Damn it, Hu Bin has really made a lot of money in our United States!" Marshall sat there and spoke.
When Patton heard this, he was a little confused about how to answer this.
"By the way, prepare for it. Hu Bin will discuss with us about retreating in 3 days.
I can't hold on anymore. He has to start planning to go back in 3 days, so the plan to pay money must also be attached.
Hu Bin gave us 3 days, so what should we do? We have to find a way together. I guess there is no good idea for the president, so we still have to rely on ourselves!" Marshall said to Patton.
"By our own, sell our weapons and sell the aircraft carrier to them?" Patton asked, looking at Marshall.
"Do they still want aircraft carriers? China already has 12 aircraft carriers, and they are all training now. Damn it, no one wants the aircraft carriers!" Marshall sat there and cursed.
Indeed, Yan'an has already obtained 12 aircraft carriers, not Chongqing, but there are 4 aircraft carriers in Chongqing, all of which are from China.
Once there are not enough aircraft carriers in Yan'an, then the aircraft carriers in Chongqing will definitely be on board, Marshall knows.
"Damn it, then what should we give them? We have nothing to give them!" Patton asked as he looked at Marshall.
"I don't know either!" Marshall shook his head and sat there thinking.
Soon, the document and the telegram written by Marshall were sent to Roosevelt's desk.
"What, more than 600 million, there is estimated that there are still more than 200 million. It will be calculated in the past few days. We will give China a total of nearly 900 million Chinese coins.
Damn it, where do we have that much money in the United States? Where can we get so much money in the United States?" Roosevelt shouted loudly after seeing the report.
When the staff saw it, they looked at Roosevelt in confusion, and Roosevelt showed them the documents.
It's time for him to worry now, the whole of the United States is celebrating, celebrating their victory in the war, and Roosevelt's personal reputation has reached its peak.
However, behind this, he needs money and wants to give money to China, which makes him unable to be happy.
"So much? We have to give them so much money, and our treasury doesn't have that much money either.
Moreover, our ordinary trade has always been a deficit. This month, China has purchased a large amount of equipment, which has caused us to have a surplus, which is only more than 10 million US dollars.
At this rate, it may take several years for us to pay back the money!" After seeing the figures behind, an aide said in surprise.
"Damn it, can China give us so long? I didn't see the telegram sent by Marshall saying that Hu Bin will discuss the retreat in three days.
Think about it, when you retreat, you must talk about money. If you don’t have money, how can they retreat?
If they don't retreat, then we can only owe China more money. Damn it, too much, why do we owe so much?" Roosevelt sat there and said depressedly.
When the staff heard this, they began to think that they could not afford to pay for the money and did not dare to pay for it. However, how to get China to agree to delay payment is a big problem.
"His Excellency President, look, are we delaying payment to China and discuss it with China?" An aide looked at Roosevelt and asked tentatively.
"Delaying payment requires interest, and at present, we in the United States need to restore economic development and money.
Now we in the United States need a lot of money. It can be said that many of our things must be imported from China, which will further expand our deficit.
At that time, we will only owe more and more. Maybe in 10 years, this number will be more than one billion Chinese currency!" an aide said.
"What do you think of? We can't afford to pay so much money now!" Another staff member asked back.
"In fact, we have made so much money, because they are all calculated based on the valuation of the seized materials.
However, the seized money was also spent by the troops, either to purchase weapons and equipment, or it was still piled up there and there was no cash at all. It took time to wait for the cash to be cashed out!
Moreover, the development of the United States requires a lot of funds. I think it is not a solution to owe it. We need to think of other solutions!" An aide said.
"What method? We always have to have a method, right? Who can tell me who can't do it? What method can you think of?" The aides immediately retorted.
"What can you do?" Roosevelt also looked at the staff member and asked.
"There is a solution, but I can't say it. Once I say it, I will become a sinner of the United States. I can't say it. I think you will think of it soon!" The staff member stood there and spoke.
When they heard this, they looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was referring to, but it seemed that there was a way to do it.
"It's okay, you said! I won't blame you!" Roosevelt said to the staff member.
"Learn from the Soviet Union, the reason why the Soviet Union can still withstand China is because they have obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment from China!" the staff member said.
"We don't need weapons and equipment, we need money!" an aide said.
"Same, according to what I know, China still owes more than 3 billion yuan to the Soviet Union. This money is deducted by materials and resources.
For example, the Soviet Union needs weapons and future equipment. It is precisely because the Soviet Union has China, a powerful supporter, that China can still withstand Germany's attacks and has stabilized!" The aide said to Roosevelt.
"I know what you mean, I know!" Roosevelt immediately understood what he meant when he heard him say this.
The reason why the Soviet Union had so many supplies to fight against Germany was because the Soviet Union sold Siberia to China, and then China provided the Soviet Union with continuous support.
The other aides also knew about it at this time, and they dared not say it. As the aide said, they dared not raise it, and if they raised it, they would become the sinners of the United States.
"How much can our land be exchanged for if it is given to China?" Roosevelt asked as he looked at them.
"At least worth 2 billion Chinese dollars? We bought it for $7 million, but now it is estimated that it can be worth about $2.5 billion." An aide said.
"In other words, we can not only repay China's money, but also exchange 1.1 billion Chinese dollars from China to return?" Roosevelt said looking at them.
"Yes, but there are three problems to be solved, one is whether our Congress will agree, and the second is whether China wants it.
The third is, what price is it? It is difficult to do business with Hu Bin. I guess they will definitely bargain!" The staff member who made the comments reminded Roosevelt.
"Damn it, it seems that we only have this method, and we are still not sure about anything now. Even if we can sell it, it is still a question whether China wants it.
Alaska produces nothing, just a piece of wasteland. How could China spend so much money to buy it?
And I got a news from General Marshall before that China doesn’t want land anymore because their population is too small.
On the Soviet side, many Soviets fled to Siberia and became Chinese, which brought great pressure to China.
Therefore, the news I got is that China may not be willing to continue to expand their territory. Now their territory is large enough and difficult to manage!" Roosevelt said while sitting there.
"If it were other countries, they might pay attention to this matter, but China does not necessarily want this land.
Just like Japan Island, if China wants to attack Japan Island, it will be able to fight in a few days, but it just doesn't fight, it just bombs every day and doesn't log in.
They don’t want to control so much land, which is no longer a good thing for China, but a pressure!" A Roosevelt’s aide heard this and nodded.
