    "" Refuse to apply for a patent in the United States!  ?  Roosevelt and others were unable to recover for a while. After a while, they slowly regained some strength after looking at each other But they still couldn't believe what they heard.  "Why do they have it?" the Secretary of War was angrily asking, "Do they think they can coerce us without applying for a patent? As long as they produce this kind of drug, American pharmaceutical companies can imitate it immediately. By then,  This patent will only belong to the imitators, but they will get nothing. "Why can they never produce these drugs!" Hopkins said calmly.  ¡°¡­¡± Stinson was immediately speechless.  "Never produce it? Could they" Hull said in surprise.  "If they cannot obtain the new 'Hellcat' fighter jets, then they will lose air superiority in future battles. This will be a disaster for them, who have always been at a disadvantage in ground wars." Marshall said solemnly.  : "So, they would rather let the people who are in urgent need of these life-saving drugs hate them and hate us, than they will never produce even a single pill This is a lose-lose tactic. They will suffer huge losses as a result, and even  We may be completely defeated, but we will always be hated until we also develop new drugs that can treat these drugs. "But by then, the U.S. government may not have much to do with us," Hopkins added.  road.  "Interesting method." Roosevelt pondered for a while and smiled, "It's rare to see the Chinese have such a tough attitude. Medicines for airplanes! It seems that they finally have some capital to negotiate." "I  Opposed to compromise." The naval officer shouted again: "Although if the news of rejection spreads, many sick people will hate us, but compared to normal people, the number of sick people will be small.  But they will also be dissatisfied with us. We are the United States, the world's largest industrial power, how can we bow to China? " "This is not a bow, but a deal, and we will earn the most from this transaction.  Benefits." Hopkins smiled and said, "My Secretary of the Navy, have you forgotten? Both the new fighter jets and the medicines are actually provided by the Chinese." "" Knox also suddenly became speechless.  "Gollan is right. In fact, the Chinese just exchanged one thing for another of theirs We did not suffer a loss, on the contrary, we took advantage." Roosevelt also laughed.  "So what do you mean, you agree to deliver the Hellcat fighter jets to China?" Marshall asked.  "George, do you have any other opinions?" Roosevelt asked hopefully.  Although he was smiling just now.  But I really felt uncomfortable.  China is big, but it is so weak that it is difficult to see.  Some time ago, the ambassador of this country was smiling at him, hoping to receive assistance.  But now, these people are forcing him to bring out the latest fighter jets That's right.  This aircraft is indeed a design and technology provided by the Chinese, but so what?  You can't make it yourself.  We also need to rely on our American companies.  If I want to pinch you, I will pinch you. The only thing you need to do is endure and wait. How can you still resist?  But there was nothing he could do.  Because 1940 was an election year!  He is seeking a third term.  This is an unprecedented move.  Since Washington, no president in the United States has dared to challenge this tradition.  If he wants to be re-elected for a third term, there must be no problems.  And it is obvious that good medicine that can cure diseases and save lives is refused to enter the United States.  It will become the opponent's strongest weapon against him, bar none!  Because he is definitely one of the best American presidents in history. Under his leadership, the United States has emerged from the abyss of the economic crisis.  The American way of life is also changing He is disabled and strong-willed. He comes from a noble family, but he believes in the value of ordinary people and is willing to fight to protect the rights of citizens.  The only thing that his opponents can attack him with is his breaking the tradition that the US president cannot serve more than two terms But what does this mean?  He believed it didn't threaten him.  But if he refuses those medicines, the problem will be big.  If the opponent questions him about this then, how should he answer?  Are new aircraft supposed to protect U.S. security?  Please, how else does the United States need to be protected?  If we can build this kind of aircraft, we can naturally handle this kind of aircraft.  What's more, we still have the Atlantic and Pacific as barriers Who can attack the United States?  It can be said that the Chinese hand hit his waist Although, for polio patients, the waist may not be a critical point, but for the goal he pursues, this hand can be crucial at a critical moment.  ???It's fatal.  And if his goal of seeking a third presidential term cannot be achieved, then the name Franklin Roosevelt will be followed by a comment after the title of "one of the greatest American presidents": the most overestimating and cruel United States.  president.  He couldn¡¯t accept that title, so he had no choice but to compromise with the Chinese.  But he does not want to compromise like this. He wants to fight back, at least to let the Chinese know the price of threatening an American president.  "Mr. President," Marshall did not see the desire in Roosevelt's eyes. He did not believe that a great man like Roosevelt would want to seek revenge on the Chinese because of his dissatisfaction. He just said it as it was: "I suggest if  To deliver these new aircraft to the Chinese, we'd better learn from the Soviets and send an aviation volunteer team to China. "Why?" Roosevelt asked.  "Because we need to understand the Japanese, especially their increasingly powerful air force." Marshall said, "Because it is with the superiority of the air force that they can maintain their offensive against the Soviet Union. Otherwise, with the Soviet Union's powerful military and industrial  Advantage, I really can't find a reason why the Japanese can occupy a large territory in the Far East. ""As far as I know, the Chinese government has sent a representative before. He seems to be an American?" Hull suddenly asked.  "That's right." Knox said, "That guy used to be a U.S. Army captain, but now he is a consultant to the Chinese Air Force and a colonel." "Has that guy already formed a volunteer air force?" He  Er asked, "It seems that the Chinese Ambassador once talked to me about this issue. But because he couldn't get the plane, it was temporarily disbanded, right?" "You remember it right." Knox smiled.  "Then let's send this man to be the commander of our aviation volunteer force. How about that?" Hull turned to Roosevelt and asked, "Anyway, even if we don't send it, the Chinese will pull them over after they get the plane."  "That's it." Roosevelt smiled, but secretly rolled his eyes.  He was so disappointed!  He thought Marshall would understand what he meant Wouldn't this be cheaper for the Chinese?  "How many aircraft have the Chinese ordered from Grumman?" Hull suddenly asked again.  "As far as I know, it seems to be five hundred." Marshall lightly shrugged his shoulders.  "What?" Everyone was shocked, "Five hundred?" "Does China have that many pilots?" Hull asked.  "I don't know. But the Chinese clearly understand the importance of maintaining air supremacy." Marshall said with a straight face, "Because in addition to the 500 'Hellcats' they officially ordered, they also owe another 700 on credit. Also.  In other words, they plan to take away a total of 1,200 fighter jets from us. "Grumman can actually agree?" Hull asked.  "If I also owned so many drug patents, Grumman would sell me more airplanes. And I'm sure they would prefer that I not pay back the debt." Hopkins laughed.  "The Chinese only want fighter jets?" Roosevelt suddenly asked.  "Yes." Marshall nodded, "I only want fighter jets, but not even a bomber or a transport plane.  It's extremely puzzling." "Perhaps they want to obtain these two aircraft from the Soviet Union?" Si  Tingson suddenly sneered.  "Just like Germany is in contact with Japan, the Soviet Union definitely wants to further strengthen its relationship with China If the Chinese make a request to the Soviet Union at this time, I think Stalin is still very likely to agree. Although their  The bombers and transports aren't very good yet, but they're obviously good enough for the Chinese," Hopkins said.  "What kind of aircraft they want is the Chinese people's own business, but before that Hull, I want to have a phone call with the Chinese ambassador." Roosevelt said suddenly.  "No problem." Hull walked to Roosevelt's office and personally helped dial the White House operator. After waiting for a while, he handed the phone to Roosevelt.  ¡­ ¡°Mr. President?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, dear Ambassador Hu!¡± Listening to Hu Shi¡¯s somewhat surprised voice coming from the microphone, Roosevelt¡¯s originally wounded heart felt a little comfort: ¡°I want to tell you some good news.  "Good news?" Hu Shi was obviously stunned again, "What good news?" "Through discussion, the White House has decided to deliver the newly developed 'Hellcat' fighter jet to your country," Roosevelt said in a gentle tone.  Said in a tone of grace.  "The White House agrees?" Hu ?Obviously a little surprised, "This is really great. Mr. President, on behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to express my gratitude to you." "Haha, for the sake of the friendly relations between the two countries, this is what we should do." Roosevelt smiled: "  And I have another good news to tell you. We have decided to send an aviation volunteer team to your country to support your country's just war." "Really? This is really great." Huanran said incoherently.  "Then, Mr. President, don't worry, I will send a report to the country right away and ask them to send the research report on 'polio' to the United States. Your condition will definitely not be delayed, don't worry!" "  ¡­¡± Polio?  Well, isn't that the disease I have?  Roosevelt was stunned.  (To be continued)
