Chapter 91 Licking the dog gets nothing (first update, please collect)
“What, there are only 1,000 rifles! This, is this true?”
Hearing this number, Harry Feeling as if he was suffering from cerebral ischemia, he looked at Li Yian suspiciously, and heard the sound of airplane propellers outside the room.
Putting the document in front of Harry, Li Yian said.
"The documents in this document include a telegram from the Chinese Theater Chief of Staff to the Pentagon, reporting on how it withheld supplies and refused to send them to China, as well as a telegram from China requesting the delivery of supplies, and of course, transportation The handover documents after arriving in China can prove that Roosevelt had no intention of attacking the Japanese. "
"This, if this is true..."
Looking at the files in front of him, Harry could already feel his heart beating violently, and even his words were muted. The other party must not be able to hear what he was saying. What to say, he said as loudly as possible.
“If it is true, it seems to really prove this.”
“But, you know, what does this mean? This is not ammunition, it is a bayonet!”
< br>“It is a bayonet stabbed at the president, and it is very likely to change the outcome of the election!”
Li Yian picked up the wine glass, glanced elsewhere, and said nothing. Just looking out the window quietly.
"Just like Marshall said - he doesn't care at all about the outcome of the Chinese battlefield! He only cares about Europe! So does the president!"
I have to say that there are people in the Pentagon Such a little favor is still very useful. This information was provided by friends in the Pentagon, but they were also marginalized groups excluded by Marshall's "China Gang". They were happy to see someone attack Marshall.
Turning to look at Harry, Li Yian asked.
"Then do you think I care whether Roosevelt can be elected?"
As a Chinese, do I need to worry about Americans, and Americans who continue to betray China's interests?
From arms to loans, throughout the Anti-Japanese War, the United States always used beautiful lies to deceive and fool China!
It can even be said that during the Anti-Japanese War, the damage caused by the United States to China was not even inferior to that of Japan!
After the Pacific War, the leased supplies that China expected were extremely limited. China paid a heavy price for the leased supplies, which even led to the collapse of the Chinese economy. China provides materials and labor services to the US military stationed in China.
From July 1942 to the end of 1944, China advanced approximately 50 billion yuan to the United States. According to the exchange rate at the time, the amount was as much as 2.5 billion US dollars! This is equivalent to 48.5% of the total government revenue in recent years! Equivalent to 26.4% of the total legal currency circulation in 44 years.
When building a new airport in Chengdu that can take off and land B-29 bombers, China mobilized more than 400,000 workers. The United States originally promised that the airport construction fees would be paid from the "Gold Loan" from the United States. For this reason, China advanced 8 billion French currency for the airport construction fee, and the Central Bank advanced 4.8 billion French currency for the air force base construction fee. According to the current 20 French currency At the official price of one U.S. dollar, the currency is worth as much as $640 million! Far more than the total gold loan amount.
In order to pay for these advances, China had to print a large amount of legal tender, which greatly aggravated inflation. However, the gold that was originally supposed to be delivered to China to stabilize the currency value and recover excess legal currency from the market has only been delivered to less than US$20 million so far.
Why is this happening?
Because China is eager to defeat Japan and eager to use the power of the United States to defeat Japan and regain lost ground.
But the United States took advantage of our urgency and desire, and tried to become a superior emperor again and again. In another world, some scholars once used the term "alarming allies" to describe the two countries during the war. For a country that has suffered a hundred years of humiliation, it is most intolerable to have an overlord giving orders.
The status that Americans want is precisely the bottom line for Chinese people, both now and in the future. Because of this, throughout World War II, we were betrayed and fooled time and time again by our so-called allies.
What now?
What Li Yian has to do is to retaliate hard against those who have betrayed us and fooled us, including Luo Laizi!
Taluo Laizi wants to "put Europe before Asia", that is his business, but... we must not betray our interests!
Crying children will have milk to drink, but licking dogs will eventually have nothing. This time, let them know that China will also be angry!
Looking at the thick file bag, Harry said.
"You must have a backup plan, Dewey is just a knife in your hand, right?"
Li Yian smiled after taking a sip of whiskey.
“I am a businessman, and what I care about is profit. In the end, it depends on what he can give me!”
Shaking the glass and looking at the amber wine in the glass, Li Yian even felt a little excited, because at this moment, what he was influencing might be history!
It may even affect whether Roosevelt can be re-elected for the fourth time. What will happen if Roosevelt loses the election?
Hmm... It won't have much impact. Dewey will intensify his attack on Japan. After all, during the entire campaign, he criticized Roosevelt's "Europe first, Asia later" policy.
“Isn’t the blood of our young men precious?”
This is Dewey’s words and Li Yi’an’s rhetorical question.
"By the way, there is a Mr. Song in Washington. If Dewey is willing, you can get more things from him. Well, I heard that now China has stopped construction because Washington refused to pay for the airport construction. Chengdu The airport is used for bombing Japan!”
Don’t have too many cards in Li Yian’s hand!
Since the Americans don’t give money, then stop building the airport. Although the Chinese have never done that, under the sudden change of the situation, the country should know what to do to force the Americans to spend more materials and funds. Ship to China, not fool China!
Bombing Japan is the simplest wish of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. China, its military and civilians even brought their own dry food without paying a penny, and used the most primitive manpower to build four large airports, but... against Japan However, the bombing severely squeezed the transportation capacity of the "Hump Route". This directly resulted in that until January 1945, before the B29 bomber group transferred to the Pacific Ocean, a large amount of aid supplies to China were backlogged in India and could not be transported to the country.
Bombing Japan... Although the hatred is relieved, it is still left to the Americans. The "Hump Route" is best to only transport aid materials to China.
"I will send this material to Dewey through certain channels..."
Harry thought for a while and said seriously.
"I promise not to involve you. After all, your ultimate goal is to help Roosevelt solve this big trouble! God, I really want to see what is in your mind and what is your next step? ?..."
Looking at Li Yian seriously, Harry asked.
"Dewey is the knife in your hand, but what about Roosevelt? Do you want to use this knife to force Roosevelt to increase aid to China?"
Putting the empty wine glass on the table, Li Yian raised his lips slightly.
"There is a saying in China, give milk to a crying child! This is just an extra bonus, for him... I have other plans!"
