Meeting with Roosevelt to make a billion-dollar purchase, even now, is enough to attract the attention of a country's leaders. What's more, one dollar can be worth dozens of dollars now, or even hundreds of dollars in the 1940s.
It can be said that, looking at the entire world, no country has been able to spend so much money to purchase equipment at one time.
In front of real money, a heavy aircraft carrier that was just built by the United States in the late World War II and the war ended before it could be put into service fell directly into the hands of the Chinese Navy.
Of course, once the aircraft carrier is obtained, the corresponding cruisers, destroyers, carrier-based fighters, bombers none of them will be left out. It can be said with certainty that after these more than ten ships return to China, the largest aircraft carrier fleet in the entire Chinese Navy will be born.
As for the Army, in order to deal with possible military conflicts on the Sino-Soviet border in the future, it is also in order to recover more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land in Siberia that was ceded by the Soviet Union and full of underground oil and natural gas. Ten heavy armored divisions, five aviation divisions a series of army heavy equipment, all became the content of this transaction.
Of course, there are things that both parties are dissatisfied with during the entire transaction process. For example, aviation engine technology, tank internal combustion engine production, automobile engine production technology, high-hardness composite steel plate technology
As the leader of the delegation, Liu Hua was rejected by the other party as soon as he proposed his intention.
"Please forgive me, Vice Chairman, these production technologies are core military technologies of our US government. I have no right to sell them without the authorization of the president. Of course, if you are interested in these equipment, our US government can completely sell them to you." Your country exports a large amount of aviation engines, internal combustion engines equipment" Chief of Staff Marshall declined with a sly smile.
Marshall¡¯s refusal did not surprise Liu Hua. You must know that the most important reason why the U.S. military equipment in World War II was able to lead several other countries was the confidentiality and continuous development of these core technologies. If even these core technologies are lost. Then there is no need to lead.
However, Marshall¡¯s refusal is one thing, and President Roosevelt¡¯s disagreement is another. Because during the trip to the United States, Liu Hua had already thought of the specific words of US President Roosevelt.
"In that case, I will definitely convince the President of your country" Liu Hua said confidently to Marshall.
After the military-industrial procurement was completed, the entire Chinese delegation began to follow the tasks assigned by Liu Hua during the trip and traveled to various parts of the United States to purchase various civilian industrial equipment and corresponding production technologies that were urgently needed in the country.
As the head of the delegation, Liu Hua, under the leadership of Chief of Staff of the US Army Marshall, conducted a series of meetings and consultations with President Roosevelt.
As President of the United States. Roosevelt's first impression on Liu Hua was that he was very capable, with a pair of bright eyes, as if he could see through himself.
Facing a rare opponent, Liu Hua also cheered up and planned to obtain more benefits beneficial to his country during the negotiations.
"Your Excellency, I believe that you should already know the purpose of my visit to the United States After the long-term Anti-Japanese War, the entire industrial base of China was almost destroyed. The development of various industries, especially the corresponding military industry Development has been stagnant for several years because of this. Therefore, for the development of our country and corresponding national security, I hope that through this trip to the United States, I can purchase various equipment and corresponding technologies that are urgently needed in the country"
In front of a truly talented person, any pretense or compromise will be false and will also cause dissatisfaction on the part of the other party. Therefore, after a brief greeting between the two, Liu Hua went directly to the topic and stated his purpose.
"In terms of equipment, your chief of staff has promised to help us contact us and also promised to sell it to our country. However, in some technical aspects, I have been rejected. Now facing the President, I hope to get your consent"
Liu Hua¡¯s behavior was different from that of the former Kuomintang diplomats, which made Roosevelt feel much better about the Chinese Communist Party. After smiling mysteriously, he asked sharply.
"Mr. Vice Chairman, Marshall should have told you. The technology you need is the core technology of our industrial industry. Once leaked, it will cause huge losses to our industrial industry. Therefore, I need A reason that can convince me"
Before Roosevelt refused directly, Liu Hua already saw the hope of victory. After quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, he asked: "Your Excellency, President, I want to ask you a question. Regarding these core technologies you mentioned, do you think that after our country introduces corresponding products and concentrates the national strength? , how long will it take to crack it"
"It will take at least one year Of course, for some high-end electronic technologies, it will take two or even three years or more." After a brief reflection, Roosevelt said.
"No, Mr. President, you are wrong" Liu Hua said confidently.
¡°According to our country¡¯s current technological reserves and industrial status, we will be able to crack all relevant technologies within one year at the latest.¡±
"Absolutely impossible Mr. Vice Chairman, are you lying According to my understanding, after years of war, the Chinese government has almost no large military industry, let alone advanced military industry and new technologies. In such a harsh environment Conditions first, is it possible to suddenly come into contact with such high-end technology and have to crack it all" Roosevelt seemed to have convinced Liu Hua and said firmly.
However, Liu Hua is a person who makes the impossible possible. Looking at the confident Roosevelt, he said directly with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, I am very sorry to tell you. Before the expedition to Japan, our country's heavy industry foundation was indeed zero. However, after the expedition to Japan, various industrial equipment, military production technology, and advanced talents in Japan were continuously After continuous introduction into the country, our country's development level in military industry has reached the peak period of the Japanese government"
"With the help of a large number of Japanese military industry talents and corresponding technologies, does the President think that what I just said can be realized?"
"Since these core technologies of your country can only lead for one year at most, why not use this year to exchange a sum of US dollars or gold from our country to solve the economic crisis caused by the end of the war in major arsenals. Besides, now The war is over. Even if these technologies are sold to our country, they will not pose any threat to your country"
Looking at the smiling Liu Hua in front of him, Roosevelt immediately fell into deep thought and began to think about the pros and cons.
Liu Hua knew that as long as he could add more fire now, Roosevelt in front of him would definitely agree to his request. Thinking of this, he continued to speak with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, if your country is in trouble, I can go to Germany to buy it. As a defeated country in World War II, I believe that the current German government needs this unprecedented super order to restore the poor domestic economic situation"
Liu Hua was right. As soon as he finished his stimulating words, Roosevelt, who had been looking pensive just now, became anxious. He directly agreed.
"Go to Germany No, Mr. Vice Chairman, you don't have this need at all. I agree to your request and agree to sell these military technologies to your country. As for the specific price, my Secretary of State, together with Chief of Staff Marshall, will discuss with your country's representatives Let¡¯s discuss it with the group, what do you think?¡±
"Thank you, Mr. President, I believe that the cooperation between us will be very pleasant" Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction.
The first round of confrontation ended with Liu Hua's victory due to Roosevelt's intelligence errors.
As the president of the United States, Roosevelt calmed down immediately and prepared to make a good comeback from Liu Hua in front of him.
What Roosevelt didn¡¯t expect was that in the second game, his opponent Liu Hua had the idea of ????giving benefits to the U.S. government. After all, what needs to be negotiated in this round is to ask for something from the other party.
The two were making plans for each other. After a short silence, Liu Hua spoke first: "Your Excellency, Mr. President, regarding the investment of funds from our country and the investment of teachers from the United States, we will jointly establish a joint military academy in China that integrates the navy, army and air force." Military and Political University, I wonder if you have any good suggestions"
"The joint establishment of the Military and Political University is indeed a very good military exchange platform for the two armies Generally speaking, I agree However, in terms of details" Roosevelt seemed to have found a way to vent. The window directly stated his purpose.
Liu Hua smiled directly and said the huge benefits he had given: "Your Excellency, in terms of details, as long as it does not harm the interests of our government, I can fully express my consent on behalf of our government."
¡°At the same time, in order to show our country¡¯s sincerity, our government can appropriately open some cities in the coastal area, and reduce the existing tariffs by 50% for a period of five years to allow your goods to enter our country In addition, I can also guarantee that this tariff reduction plan is currently only for your country"
? Open some of China¡¯s coastal city markets to the U.S. government and reduce tariffs by 50%. It was a huge temptation not only for Roosevelt, but also for the major American plutocrats.
Although World War II is over, Europe, which has been bombed into ruins, makes it impossible to dump various goods made in the United States As for China, this huge market with a population of more than 400 million people, it is no surprise that it has become a piece of fat in the mouth of American capitalists.
Liu Hua¡¯s initiative to release the conditions for opening the Chinese market to the US government is already a very huge bait, not to mention the huge benefit of reducing certain tariffs.
After Liu Hua finished speaking, Roosevelt already agreed in his heart. However, as the president of a country, after a brief reflection, he said with a majestic look: "Mr. Vice Chairman, I also wish us happy cooperation" (To be continued!~!
