Chapter 124 Do you want to go to Tokyo (Third update, please collect)
“What?”
Grace couldn’t help being stunned, looking at the man with some doubts.
Ignoring the girl, Li Yian turned around and walked towards the roulette table aside. Grace quickly followed.
Arrived at the table, she saw the man staring at the roulette wheel, seeming to be calculating something. After others gambled for several rounds, she only listened to him talking.
"Bet on the corner."
"What?"
"Bet on the corner."
Grace looked at the corner and quickly bet a few chips.
The moment the croupier turned the ball, everything was as expected. He really... won!
When the croupier pushed over the winning chips, Grace had not yet reacted.
She looked at the man in surprise and said.
"This, is this a win?"
"A soulless bet..."
After saying that, Li Yian turned around and left, leaving only some hair. Confused woman.
Looking at the man leaving, Grace's blue eyes widened, she looked at the man's background and murmured.
“Here, just, just leave like this...”
He didn’t even ask my name!
Looking at the retreating figure, Grace only had one thought left in her mind - doubting life!
No, wasn’t he clearly looking at me just now?
His eyes were not on her... Looking down at the bulge between the V-neck, her self-confidence was once again hit.
"This stinky man...he was looking at my necklace just now!"
At this moment, another blond woman walked up to her and asked.
"How's it going, Grace, did you have fun?"
If Li Yian were here at this time, he would definitely say - what a coincidence, the big blonde girl who came is none other than , it was the woman he passed by in Havana and whom someone gave him a ticket on the train to Washington.
After leaving the VIP room of the casino, Paige went to the lobby to look for her sister, and happened to see her sister standing at the door, pouting angrily.
Looked at the entrance with some resentment, her eyes fell on her sister’s neck, and then Grace said
“Sister, tell me, between me and diamonds, what would a man choose? "
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Paige laughing.
"Haha, Grace, my sister, any man knows that choosing you means owning a diamond. Do you still need to ask this question?"
Paige said, holding her sister's hand.
“When I got married last year, my father gave me a dowry of one million dollars. Since then, everyone has called us the “Million Dollar Babies of the Kelly Family.” Honey, why do you How to ask such a question? "
Their father, Jack Kelly, was a three-time Olympic gold medalist. He started a business with a loan of US$7,000 and eventually built a construction company worth tens of millions of assets. As a multi-millionaire He has never been stingy with his children, and a dowry of one million dollars is definitely considered a generous sum in the United States today. It also made Paige headlines and earned them the nickname "Million Dollar Babies."
"I..."
Looking at the entrance of the casino, Grace said with some resentment. "I'm just talking casually."
The resentful look in her sister's eyes made Paige stunned. She looked at the little sister beside her with a half-smile but not a smile, and said with a smile.
"Grace, could it be that you have met a man who makes your heart beat?"
Heartbeat?
Hearing this, Grace’s eyes widened, she waved her hands repeatedly and said.
"How is it possible, impossible, how could I be attracted to him?"
"Him?"
In an instant, the smile on Paige's face became even thicker, and the woman's gossipy heart immediately surged. Come to mind.
"Tell me who he is, Grace, dear...tell me, what kind of person is he..."
"Where can he be..."
"You just said it clearly..."
"Okay, sister, let's go back to the room and see Jason."
"No, you have to tell me..."< br>
When a pair of sisters were laughing and joking at the entrance of the casino, Li Yi'an, who had returned to the room, had no idea how deep a blow he had caused to others, making them doubt their life. .
At this time, he was holding a telegram in his hand, which was sent from the front desk of the hotel.
Although the content of the telegram was very simple, Li Yian felt a little uneasy when faced with this telegram with only a few words.
“Want to go to Tokyo?”
The telegram was sent by Truman. What does this telegram mean?
Looking at the telegram in his hand, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Go to Tokyo!
He must have gone to bomb Tokyo!
In fact, just as in history, the B29 fleet flew from the Chengdu airport to the Japanese mainland in June and bombed Kyushu. After all, the United States paid for the airport—$400 million.
In history, China advanced more than 50 billion French currency to the United States during the Anti-Japanese War. After the war, the United States kept delaying and refusing settlement under various excuses. After 1946, it had to settle with a severely devalued currency. In the end, more than hundreds of millions of dollars of surplus materials on the Pacific islands were used to settle the account like a beggar.
This time, in order to calm public opinion, Luo Zizi, who was "stabbed in the back", personally requested the Ministry of Finance to settle the advance payment through a presidential decree - after the calculation, everyone was in tears and sad. From July 1942 to May 1944, including the U.S. purchase of tungsten sand and other materials, as well as U.S. military expenses for coming to China and building airports, China advanced as much as 45 billion yuan! This is equivalent to US$2.25 billion. At the same time, China actually received less than US$200 million in supplies from the United States.
Public opinion was immediately detonated. Before, it was only Dewey’s one-sided words, but now it is clearly written in black and white. Co-authored, this is the White House’s way of fighting the Japanese devils-to extract all the wealth of China who is at war with Japan. Then use it to aid the British and Russians.
Faced with the public's accusations, Luo Zizi quickly instructed the Ministry of Finance to settle the advance immediately, and required that future advances be paid monthly.
This can be considered a good thing. At least the hard-earned money of the Chinese people has not been siphoned away by the so-called ally. With more than two billion US dollars in hard currency, the country has no choice but to withdraw the over-issued products from the market. currency, thereby ensuring the stability of currency value.
Of that money, the largest single expenditure is the US$400 million spent on building the airport. Since so much money was spent, it had to be heard. So, just like in history, dozens of B29s set off from Chengdu and bombed the Japanese mainland.
Two years later, the report of another bombing of the Japanese mainland immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Americans, and finally allowed Luo Laizi to barely pass. But... if Luo Zizi wants to defeat Dewey and enter the White House for the fourth time, he must do something big!
What is his big deal?
It was the bombing of Tokyo. From that day when he showed Luo Zizi and others aerial refueling in the movie screening room of the White House and told them that they could bomb Tokyo through aerial refueling, Luo Zizi became interested in this matter. After all, taking off from Chengdu The bombers could not fly to Tokyo, and what the Americans wanted to see was...Tokyo was razed to the ground!
This telegram from Truman is obviously telling him that they are ready!
