    "Franklin, what happened?" Hull looked at the furious Roosevelt with a mixture of shock and anger.  Of course he was not angry because of Roosevelt, he was just angry at those who had angered Roosevelt You know, since Lin was diagnosed with polio, Roosevelt has always behaved very gracefully and well-educated, not to mention angry, just angry  The situation is also very rare, but now someone was so angry that Roosevelt threw the phone in front of them and Marshall As Secretary of State and Roosevelt's friend, how could he not be angry?  Unexpectedly, after throwing the phone and cursing "robber" twice, Roosevelt was no longer as angry as before. On the contrary, he glanced at Hull and Marshall and expressed his apology first: "I  It's out of control. I hope you don't mind. " "We don't mind, but you have to let us know what happened." He was relieved but still said in a deep voice.  "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that the Chinese have made conditions again." Roosevelt shrugged and said with a wry smile.  "So, Mr. President, your prediction has come true?" Marshall asked with a frown.  "Yes, is it very fast?" Roosevelt smiled bitterly again, "Henry told me that the Chinese hope to settle previous loans with us in their own currency and at their own official exchange rate."  "What?" "This is simply a bandit!" Marshall and Hull were furious at the same time.  How can there be such rules in this world?  If you use your own printed banknotes to pay back the money you owe others, doesn¡¯t that mean you can pay back whatever you want?  He even pretended to use his own official exchange rate for anything Even the most tyrannical robber in the world would not be able to do such a heinous thing.  "Not only that. The Chinese also said that if we agree to settle this way, then they will not pursue Grumman's possible breach of contract." Roosevelt continued.  "Breach of contract?" The other two people were startled again.  "The Chinese have customized a total of 1,200 Hellcats from Grumman, and now they have only received more than 800. According to the contract, if Grumman cannot complete the contract on time, then they must  The compensation is equivalent to dozens of times the total price of these aircraft, and it is obvious that Grumman is indeed unable to complete this contract," Roosevelt sighed.  "Ten times the total price of one thousand two hundred Hellcats? God, how could Grumman sign such a clause in the first place?" Hull said in surprise.  "Maybe they think this one doesn't matter at all?" Marshall couldn't help but shake his head.  He could understand where Grumman was coming from.  At that time, who could have imagined that the United States would be attacked?  It is even more impossible to imagine that enemies from the Pacific West Coast would actually go to the East Coast of the United States to drop bombs.  And for Grumman.  Producing 1,200 aircraft is not a big deal, and it can definitely be completed on time.  But who would have thought "I remember that the observation team we sent to China mentioned many times the Chinese's use of airborne troops. But although we have begun to form the same troops, the progress is still very slow. Now the Japanese have given  We have learned a lesson. I think it has become inevitable to quickly and in large quantities form the same troops. "I think of the Japanese "borrowing" Canada and capturing its airport, and then using it as a springboard to bomb the Great Lakes region and New York, and to occupy Denver.  Airport.  Then about the bombing of Texas oil fields and three Pacific railroads, Marshall couldn't help but get angry.  The observation group in China had already mentioned the importance of the airborne troops, inspected their training and combat methods, and submitted detailed reports. However, they did not expect that the Japanese would eat the airborne troops from the hands of the Chinese airborne troops.  The loss turned around and hit them Americans on the head, and hit them so hard The Pacific Railway was blocked, and the Panama Canal was blocked.  Pearl Harbor and the Pacific Fleet were almost completely destroyed, and many important industrial facilities were damaged. They still didn't know when they could truly launch a counterattack against the Japanese.  "Now is not the time to talk about this. The Chinese have a huge appetite, but we must admit that they have seized the opportunity and have the ability and qualifications to propose conditions to us." Roosevelt sighed, "I decided to agree to their request.  "I don't agree." Hull shouted, "Grumman is actually bankrupt! Their various aircraft designs and technical information were also destroyed in that bombing. Even if the Chinese want to ask for it.  Liquidated damages can't be done. They just exchanged a few nice words for our tens of millions of dollars in aid!" "It's more than that." Roosevelt smiled bitterly, "The Chinese have a very big appetite.  Said. They also made another request: apply for another 140 million US dollars in aid! " "" Hull was stunned for a long time.Looking around: "Where is the phone?" "Hull!?" "I want to throw that thing again! No, twice. No, ten times!" Hull quickly picked up the phone that Roosevelt threw on the ground.  Get up, then lift it up.  He gritted his teeth and hit the ground: "These are just a group of robbers, greedy robbers! I want to summon the Chinese ambassador, I want to duel with him, a duel¡ª¡ª" *********************  ***************************************** ¡°Can Americans agree?  ¡± Chongqing.  Huangshan.  Chiang Kai-shek was dressed in casual clothes, leaning on a walking stick, followed by Wang Chonghui, Kong Xiangxi and Qin Wei, walking slowly on the mountain path.  The weather is getting hotter. As one of the four major furnaces, Chongqing is only cooler in the woods.  But Chiang Kai-shek didn't care about this.  The Japanese threw the troops they had withdrawn from Siberia to Southeast Asia. The pressure on China was greatly reduced. In addition, the mechanized equipment taken over from the Soviets had entered Guisui, and troops could be sent for training in the near future.  By then, he will have a truly powerful army under his command.  All of this made him feel extremely relaxed.  As for Qin Wei's request for assistance from the Americans, he really didn't take it to heart.  Wenguiwen, but it has come to this point.  Can Americans still disagree?  "The Americans must be very angry. But the more angry they are, the less choice they have. They can only be blackmailed by us. All they can do is bargain with us." Wang Chonghui is also in a good mood.  In the past, it was extremely difficult for China to fight Japan alone. Now it not only has the Soviet Union, but also the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands Although I have never had a good impression of these countries, this feeling of "sharing difficulties together" is really good.  "I'm afraid that the Americans will settle accounts with us." Kong Xiangxi sighed, "These foreigners don't have many good things." "The accounts must be settled, but who is settling the accounts with whom?  Definitely." Qin Wei smiled.  "The United States is stronger than us after all." Chiang Kai-shek reminded.  "That's right. But what if there's still the Pacific Ocean in between?" Qin Wei curled his lips, "Unless they want to start a war, no matter how strong they are, that's all." "I really don't know where you learned this at such a young age.  These tricks." Kong Xiangxi turned his head and looked at Qin Wei carefully, "We have some strength now, but our economy and industry are far behind. This is equivalent to a tree without roots and water without a source, which cannot last long.  ! Now you are taking advantage of the Americans. When they calm down, can you withstand their counterattack? " "It's true that there is no tree without roots, but it depends on the circumstances." Qin Wei smiled and stopped.  He looked around.  Suddenly he walked towards a clump of bamboo a few steps away.  "What do you want to do?" Wang Chonghui asked doubtfully.  "Why not." Qin Wei had already walked to the bamboo bush, stretched out his hand to grab a bamboo, and then started to break itbut he could break it left and right, and the bamboo kept breaking.  He was immediately annoyed, raised his hand, pulled out the gun from his waist, and aimed several shots at the center of the bamboo.  ¡°Bang bang bang¡ª¡ª¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± In less than half a minute, a row of guards armed with submachine guns rushed over. They were all so nervous that they looked like they were going to fight at any time.  "It's okay." Chiang Kai-shek gently rubbed his temples and waved to these soldiers.  Signaling them to step back.  "You are so wealthy. I said Qin Wei, do you know how much this bullet of yours costs?" Kong Xiangxi was not as polite as Chiang Kai-shek. When he saw the soldiers retreating, he immediately attacked Qin Wei.  "It's definitely not as valuable as my cigarette factory." Qin Wei replied casually, and then showed the bamboo he broke off to Kong Xiangxi, "Dean Kong, look clearly" "What do you want to do again?" Kong Xiangxi frowned.  "Just watch it." Qin Wei smiled and inserted the bamboo into the soil next to the bamboo bush.  "I seem to understand." Wang Chonghui looked at this.  He smiled knowingly.  "Yes." Chiang Kai-shek also understood, "Chongqing is a good place. Let alone a freshly broken bamboo branch, it is just a piece of dead wood. It can come alive if it is inserted into the soil The environment is indeed good." "Huh," Kong Xiangxi  Naturally, he also knew what Qin Wei meant by this move, but he had completely different ideas from Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Chonghui: "Want to take advantage of this world war to develop China? This is far better than just inserting roots in the ground casually.  A stick is tens of thousands times harder. "Whether it's tens of thousands times, hundreds of millions times, or even trillions of times it all develops from scratch." Qin Wei clapped his hands and left again.  Come back, "So what if I'm poor and useless? After this battle, the whole worldEveryone will be taught a lesson.  I'm afraid there won't be another world-wide war within a few decades.  Moreover, the great powers such as Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan, and Italy will be weakened to a certain extent or even greatly in this war.  Therefore, this war is a disaster for us, but it is also an opportunity.  As long as we can take the opportunity to reach Japan's current level of military strength, even if it is only half or one-third, it will be enough to ensure our own security.  And as long as there is a safe external environment and we gain independence in the war that we have never really had before, I do not believe that China will continue to be so backward.  China's population and territory determine that as long as we develop seriously, we will become one of the most powerful countries in the world.  We can definitely catch up with other countries, and this time, in my opinion, is only ten or twenty years.  " "That's a good thing" Before Kong Xiangxi said anything, Chiang Kai-shek had already raised his head and strode forward. "The Chairman likes to hear such encouraging words.  "Wang Chonghui glanced at Qin Wei and chased after him with a smile. "I can't tell, but you are quite good at flattering.  "Kong Xiangxi was very unhappy, and he didn't like Qin Wei no matter what. "Flattery is the second best You don't really want me to use your debt to get a loan from your brother-in-law, do you?  "Qin Wei asked him with a smile. "You are cruel.  Kong Xiangxi was suffocated when he heard this. Unfortunately, no matter how much he tried to cheer him up, he still lacked the confidence. He could only sigh and surrender to Qin Wei again: "As long as you pay back the money Seven Star Company paid to buy the factory, I will return the cigarette factory."  you.  "    "no.  You still owe me so much, so why should I give you money?  Qin Wei curled his lips, "You can either return the factory to me directly and add another two million oceans; or you can wait for me to find your brother-in-law and you can decide what to do."  " "Another two million oceans?  " "What else?  When the Japanese invade Indonesia and your oil fields are gone, where will you go to raise money for me?  My ten million pounds will be gone.  Qin Wei shouted: "I only want your factory to add such a small amount of money now, which is already very generous."  What else do you want?  " ""
