"Haha, you underestimated the Japanese's ability to play tricks too much. They recently passed a special reward, mainly for passenger ships and cruise ships. Isn't it ridiculous that the military will reward the construction of civilian ships? The reason is actually very simple. , that is, these ships are all built according to the requirements of the military. On the surface, they are civilian ships. Once it comes to wartime, they can be converted into aircraft carriers as soon as possible. The Japanese use this secret method to expand their military power. If the United States is still kept in the dark Guli, I'm worried that you will suffer."

Hearing Gu Weijun's words, Hoover couldn't sit still, and a strong sense of being deceived came to his heart.He also knew that the matter was important, so he immediately ordered an investigation.

As Gu Weijun said, the Japanese government did have a similar move, and Hoover immediately became furious, scolded the Japanese for being shameless, and hurriedly called Gu Weijun over.

"Gu, thank you for your reminder. We finally discovered the Japanese conspiracy. Since some countries do not abide by the treaty, there is no need for the United States to abide by it. Compared with shipbuilding capabilities, the United States is not afraid of anyone's provocation."

Seeing that Hoover was furious, Gu Weijun was elated. Most of the tasks assigned were finally completed. He said with a smile: "Mr. President, China is willing to stand on the same side with your country on the issue of the navy. Countries with different national conditions , The rigidly stipulated tonnage has no value, and under such an economic crisis, large-scale arms sales can also stimulate employment and foreign trade, which is really a multi-purpose thing.”

Hoover was completely persuaded by Gu Weijun, and the economy has not improved for a long time, so the only way is to prepare the army for war.Hoover immediately instructed the Navy to propose a new generation of capital ship plans, and also specifically explained that there is no need to pay too much attention to arms limitation treaties.

The hole was finally opened, and the Americans acted quickly. In addition to designing new warships themselves, they also invited the navies of Brazil and Argentina to visit the American warships and advertised.

China's actions were not only aimed at the United States, but Italy was also drawn into it. China and Italy jointly seized Chile's warship list, which greatly touched Mussolini.Italy can completely bypass the UK and earn huge profits by cooperating with China.

The dictator had long had ambitions to expand arms and prepare for war, and Italy was also deeply affected by the economic crisis, so he simply threw off his arms and did a big job, not doing what the British did.

The London Naval Conference planned by the British was disrupted by China before it was held. All countries started to expand their navy in advance, and they not only built large warships themselves, but also invited small countries to place orders.

As long as you buy a warship from any country, you will get closer to that country, cut off the chicken head and burn the yellow paper, and a circle will be formed.Relying on the arms sales relationship, the world was quickly divided into several circles, and the armaments of those small countries have also been greatly improved. Regardless of whether they need it or not, if they don't take out one or two capital ships, they can't survive in the world. mix.

For some small countries, they still don't know the value of aircraft carriers, or they don't have the ability to equip a large number of aircraft, so battleships have become their first choice.

The situation in the world is being staged according to Zhang Tinglan's script, and he is also very happy, so he specially invited Chilean Navy Minister Victor to the presidential palace.

"Mr. Minister, China agrees in principle to your country's request and can suspend part of the expenses. But I want to know, with your country's current economic situation, can you really afford the cost of a warship?"

Victor's face was a bit ugly. Under the crisis, all kinds of exports from Chile were stopped, and he really couldn't get much money, but he didn't dare to breach the contract, so he hesitated.

Zhang Tinglan also saw it, and said with a smile: "Money is not a problem, don't worry too much, as long as you accept this agreement, I think your country will not only have to spend money, but also earn a lot of money!"

Chapter 832 I Got The Baby

Facing the Chileans, Zhang Tinglan completely put on the attitude of a wolf grandmother. In fact, when dealing with a small country and a big country, the only difference is how much it suffers, and how can it really take advantage of it.It's just that the Chinese are more friendly and are willing to give up some benefits, and they don't wipe it out.

China's repayment plan is to use Chilean agricultural and mineral products to offset the cost of the battleship. Of course, China did not directly ask for something, but set up a joint development company with Chile. China holds [-]% of the shares and contributes capital, technology, and equipment. Develop copper mines in Chile and sell them to China and the world.

According to estimates, after ten years, Chile will be able to fully repay the expenses, and from then on, there will be another financial source.In addition, Chile's fishery resources and saltpeter resources are also very rich, and this standard can also be referred to.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "The Chinese market can be fully opened to Chilean products, and the tariff can be controlled within 5.00%. I think this should be good news for Chile's economy."

When Victor heard it, his eyes lit up immediately. This is not only good news, it is simply a pie in the sky.In the Great Depression, the biggest impact of the hand was international trade.Chile's foreign exports have also plummeted, especially in the United States, the most important market, where demand has shrunk in a straight line, and Chile's financial distress has reached the extreme.

If China can open its market, it will be great news for Chile. Even if Victor doesn't understand the economy, he still knows that this is a good thing.In fact, he is very worried that China will turn its face and deny people like the United States, but looking at it now, the Chinese are indeed good. It is so touching to be able to reach out to Chile in such a difficult time!

"Mr. President, thank you for your generosity. I will return home immediately and report the news to the President. China and Chile should sign this agreement as soon as possible."

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "Mr. Victor, there must be a way to give your country special preferential treatment, so I propose that the two countries sign a strategic partnership agreement. At the same time, set up a settlement bank between the two countries, so that you can bypass the UK Banks. Realizing the direct settlement of the currencies of the two countries is of great benefit to us in expanding trade."

Victor, a guy from a military background, of course doesn't know what Zhang Tinglan is thinking. Strategic partners are not allies, so there is no problem in signing.As for the settlement, it is not a problem, and now the international trade has shrunk sharply.The currencies of various countries have also depreciated sharply, and the credit has collapsed. If they continue to settle through Western banks, they will definitely suffer a lot.

Either way, it's good for Chile.Victor agreed without hesitation, and immediately set off to return home.Of course, he didn't know the meaning behind Zhang Tinglan's actions. Cooperation in the development of agricultural and mining resources was economic kidnapping, and strategic partnership was political kidnapping.Bank settlement is financial kidnapping, and if warship trade is added, it is military kidnapping.

As long as these four things are tied to China, Chile will not be able to escape the palm of China, and can only honestly act as China's spokesperson in South America.hold the country.In the short term, it can provide China with at least 20 tons of copper and millions of tons of fertilizer raw materials every year.

In the long run, China has laid a wedge in South America, and this is also a challenge for China to the existing international order.

The colonial order of Britain, France and other countries is like a big tree with intertwined roots. A head-on collision like Germany will only lead to a stronger backlash, which is not advisable at all.

The only way is to work hard with water and disintegrate bit by bit. For example, if China and Chile engage in direct settlement, the next step will be direct settlement with neighboring countries, and even settlement with countries such as the United States and Germany.Once things reach this point, Britain's financial hegemony will disappear, and the pound will no longer be an international currency. Once it loses its financial hegemony, Britain will be like a fox in its original form.

With the fall of Britain and China's geographical advantages, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia and other regions will all fall into China's hands. This is a huge game of chess.For this goal, it is very necessary to give benefits to countries such as Chile and let them take advantage of it.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan personally arranged for Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Chen Youren to go to Chile to sign a package agreement between the two countries.If successful, Zhang Tinglan is also ready to bring in Siam, Iran, Egypt and other countries, and even sign a currency swap agreement directly with Japan.All in all, the biggest enemy now is the international order dominated by the West. As long as it can shake this order and cooperate with the devil, it will not hesitate.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was forming cliques here, the purchasing group to the United States also frequently reaped results.

Xia Han and the others obtained 10 large blast furnaces and 12 open hearth furnaces from the U.S. Steel Corporation, as well as a large amount of supporting equipment and more than 500 senior technicians.If all these equipment and personnel are shipped back to China and put into production, China's steel output can increase by at least 200 million tons.

Moreover, according to American experience and technology, adjusting other steel plants can make the entire steel industry take a big step forward. According to Xia Han's prediction, by 31 years, China's steel production capacity is expected to exceed 1000 million tons!

By that time, the scale of China's steel industry will be more than four times that of Japan, and it will have an overwhelming advantage.With this scale of production, China will be able to advance to the ranks of the world's leading industrial countries in one fell swoop.

After solving the steel industry, they went to Detroit without stopping.As a world-famous Motor City, Detroit's brilliance is beyond doubt.Yamamoto 56 has been to the United States. When he saw Americans producing cars like sausages, he was impressed by the country's strong industrial strength, and he deeply knew that fighting a war of attrition with the United States would only lead to death.

When Xia Han and the others arrived here, the situation was completely different. Many factories of Ford Motor had been closed, and weeds began to emerge.In the tranquility, there are countless steel equipment lying like a tomb.

They're not polite either, re-copying what they did in Pittsburgh, buying production lines, recruiting workers.China has already broken through the problem of automated production lines, so Xia Han and the others are only planning to purchase two car assembly lines, and the main energy is still on skilled technicians and design and development talents.

Just as he was making a lot of purchases, suddenly a middle-aged white man found Xia Han. He was dressed in rags and looked a bit haggard. When he saw Xia Han, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Sir, I know that you are recruiting all kinds of talents. I am sure that you will be interested in my things."

"Oh?" Xia Han said with a smile: "These days, there are always Americans who come here and come up with some weird things, but it turns out that they are all liars."

"Of course I'm different from those people. My name is Miller. I'm an engineer and an entrepreneur." The guy said confidently: "At least three months ago, my company produced radio navigation equipment, which can accurately Measure the distance between two places and provide navigation services for aircraft."

Xia Han had no interest in this guy at first, he only thought of him as a bankrupt, but after hearing his introduction, Xia Han's eyes suddenly brightened.Navigation technology is exactly what China needs. Since many wars, the Chinese Air Force has played an important role. Especially with the development of aircraft carriers, the value of aircraft is even more unparalleled.

However, China's backward electronic technology has always been a bottleneck. Without effective communication and navigation, it is difficult for fighters to arrive at the battlefield accurately, and it is extremely easy to get lost or even delay fighters.If this guy in front of him can help China solve this problem, that would be great news!

"Can you go into more detail?"

Miller also showed a smile on his face: "No problem, if the weather is normal and will not cause radio interference, then an aircraft only needs to be equipped with a radio receiver, a map and a radio distance measuring station and its frequency. You can fly over any area according to the navigation information. If you deviate from the route, there will be out-of-sync and unstable Morse signals, reminding you to correct the route.”

Xia Han was completely tempted when he heard this. This technology is not only of great value in military use, but can also be introduced into the civilian field. Chinese aircraft are developing very fast. If this set of navigation equipment is installed, the safety performance will undoubtedly be improved. increase in magnitude.

"Okay, if it's what you said, I'm willing to offer enough favorable terms to buy your technology, and even invite you to set up a factory in China."

"Thank you boss, as long as you help me pay off a little debt, I will leave with you immediately."

"Arrears? How much?"

"Not much, only $200 million!"

"Bah!" Xia Han almost spat at him, 200 million is enough to recruit [-] workers, this guy really dared to speak up.Xia Han deliberately refused to agree, but his items were too attractive, so he had no choice but to say: "You are definitely not worth the price. If I can recommend a few more similar factories, I may agree to you."

When Miller heard Xia Han's refusal, his face collapsed. He lost all his family's money by investing in stocks. Now this is his only way of life, the last straw, and he must not lose it.

"Sir, I also know a factory that makes gyroscopes, which are also put on airplanes so that they can land smoothly in clouds and rain. I also know a General Electric Service engineer who invented the A metal electron tube, compared with glass electron tubes, its performance is greatly improved. There are also color TV sets, car recorders..."

Miller was eloquent and told everything he knew. Although Xia Han didn't change on the surface, he was happy in his heart.

These things are very important. Gyroscopes are widely used in the military, electron tubes are also the core of communication technology, and other things have great prospects in civilian use.

And more importantly, these are just getting started, and Americans may not realize the value of them, so they can be poached quickly.

Thinking of this, Xia Han suddenly took a closer look at Miller, and said with a smile: "You are very good, how about this, you can help me find similar talents and technologies, and I will reward you [-] dollars for every one I find. "
