    After speaking, Sir Carl respectfully handed the folder in his hand to Su Rui. When Su Rui took the file and glanced at it briefly, his expression changed quickly, but he was angry.

    Handing the document in his hand to Li Zongren, Su Rui looked at Sir Carl and said with a faint smile: "Sir Carl, I don't know how your government calculated this list, but for this return  I can tell you clearly from the list of supplies compiled by the government right now, this is absolutely impossible!"

    Su Rui¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was resounding, and his expression was very determined, full of unquestionable flavor.

    Sir Karl was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened: "Why? Don't you know that our government urgently needs these fighter planes to protect my airspace?"

    At this time, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi also came together to look at the list. After they took a rough look, their faces became a little ugly. Before Su Rui could speak, Bai Chongxi spoke first: "  Sir Carl, the requirements for this list are not low. Let me see, you not only ask us to provide you with two hundred F6F Vixen fighter jets, one hundred P-51 Mustang fighter jets, and one hundred P-47 fighter jets within a month.  Thunder fighter jets, and even fifty B-24 Liberator fighter jets. Do you want to pack all our housekeeping stuff back to the UK?"

    Since he and Su Ruibing were united, Bai Chongxi naturally regarded the belongings in the Fourth War Zone as his own. He could see the sinister intentions of the other party at a glance from the list proposed by the British.  It stands to reason that the British were bombed by the Germans and were in urgent need of fighter planes to defend their skies.  But buying a fighter jet does not mean that the more models, the better. Generally speaking, the one that suits you is the best.  Now that the British have captured all the excellent fighters in the four theaters, the meaning behind it can be imagined.

    As we all know, Britain is the most established industrial power, and its industrial foundation is needless to say. Although it is not as good as the United States, a country that has caught up from behind, it is still one of the best in Europe.  If these fighter jets fall into their hands, within a few months their engineers will be able to fully understand the performance of these fighter jets through reverse engineering and produce them themselves.  In this way, the air superiority of the four theaters will become transparent to these Western countries.

    What makes Bai Chongxi even more annoyed is that the British plan to pack away the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber that they do not urgently need. They are planning to take the blame.

    Faced with Bai Chongxi's accusation, Sir Carl's expression did not show the slightest fluctuation, and he continued to say in a calm tone: "General Bai, our government has no intention of spying on your country's fighter planes, but we don't know which one at the moment.  Fighters are the most suitable for us. Therefore, we purchase some of each of your fighters and let pilots evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these fighters through actual combat. Finally, we can decide which fighter to purchase in large quantities. As for why even heavy bombers are required  Buy them together because our government has decided that since German bombers can bomb London, the great capital of our British Empire, then we must retaliate in kind. We will send bombers to bomb Berlin, Germany. And we also heard that you have a very excellent heavy bomber.  , so I expressed my intention to purchase.¡±

    "hehe¡­¡­"

    Bai Chongxi was infuriated. It was as if he had discovered for the first time that these foreigners were so good at telling lies, and they were so thick-skinned that it was amazing.  Just when he wanted to continue to blame the other party, Suri reached out to stop him.  He turned to Sir Carl and said: "Sir Carl, I am very grateful to the returned government for paying such high attention to our fighter planes. However, it is not necessary if we buy them all back for test flights and then study them. Here I can introduce you to an excellent fighter plane.  I think it's perfectly suited to take on the responsibility of protecting your nation's airspace."

    Sir Karl said seriously: "ReallyGeneral Su, please speak."

    Suri smiled slightly and said: "I think that P-47 Thunder fighter is very good. It has powerful armor, excellent dive speed and maneuverability. It will definitely be effective against the German BF-109 fighter.  People have unexpected effects. There is a proverb in our country called "You can bite off more than you can chew", which means that people who are too greedy will end up with nothing."

    Suri pointed out mercilessly that the British were spying on his fighter planes and technology, which made Sir Carl blush. Noono was speechless for a moment.

    At this time, Hurley on the side spoke: "General Su, what about your bomber nicknamed the Liberator? Don't you plan to sell it?"

    After hearing what Hurley said, Suri turned around and looked at Hurley with a half-smile: "Why, is the U.S. government also interested in our military's bombers?"

    "Yes!" Unlike Sir Carl, who wanted to refuse and welcome back, the Americans hereBut he was much more straightforward. Hurley said frankly: "Our country is indeed very interested in this bomber of yours. We will be very grateful if you can sell it to our country."

    "Yes!" In the stunned eyes of everyone, Suri miraculously agreed to this almost impossible and unreasonable request, "As long as your government is willing to buy it, of course we can sell it to you."

    "What, are you telling the truth?" Hurley swallowed hard and shouted out loud. Only when the words came out one by one did he realize his gaffe and quickly changed his words: "General Su,  So what price do you plan to sell it for?¡±

    Suri slowly stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "A B-24 Liberator bomber costs 900,000 US dollars. If you want to buy it, you have to buy at least 100. A P-47 fighter jet costs 300,000 US dollars."  There are two hundred aircraft in one batch. I wonder how many aircraft your government plans to buy?"

    "Hiss" There was a gasp of cold air in the office, and a thought came to everyone's mind, "Black so damn black!"

    Hurley's expression also changed a little, and he said very unhappily: "General Su, as far as I know, even the most advanced bombers now only cost about 300,000 US dollars, and the most advanced fighter jets only cost about 300,000 US dollars.  It¡¯s one hundred thousand dollars, and you tripled it as soon as you asked. Isn¡¯t this price too high?¡±

    "Is it high?" Su Rui sneered: "Colonel Hurley, we are all smart people, let's stop talking in circles. If you buy our fighter plane, just take it back and do some reverse reasoning, and it won't take long  You can build exactly the same aircraft, and then our secrets will be gone. Don¡¯t tell me that you just bought it for viewing. That will make me look down on you. The reason why I offered this price is because of the  It includes our patent fees.¡±

    "Uh" As soon as Suri said such blunt words, Hurley became speechless.  Because Suri is telling the truth, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, they will definitely dissect these aircraft and study them thoroughly after buying them back.  Hurley is even certain that as long as these aircraft are bought back within three months, with the strong comprehensive national strength of the United States, those aircraft manufacturers can imitate exactly the same thing.

    But Su Rui quickly said with a smile: "Of course, this is just the price of the first batch. If you want to continue buying the second batch, we can lower the price, and I will give you a 50% discount! Opportunity  It¡¯s rare, so don¡¯t miss it. Also, Sir Karl, do you need any weapons? I have anti-aircraft artillery, semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, howitzers, and even trucks, everything you want, I can buy it  I sell it to you, and I guarantee a lot of discounts on the price!¡±

    Seeing Su Rui selling his products so diligently, Hurley and Sir Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly. This General Su really has the qualities of a profiteer.

    Looking at Suri who was eloquent there, Hurley couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "General Su, I really wonder if you worked as a salesman for an insurance company before joining the army."

    "Insurance salesman?" Su Rui was startled, "I did do it, but I only did it for less than half a year and stopped doing it."

    As soon as this was said, everyone laughed bitterly, but everyone took this as a joke from Su Rui.

    Only the client himself understood that he had really worked as an insurance salesman, but he stopped working after a few months.

    "The reason why Suri worked so hard to sell these weapons to the other party and sold them something as important as the B-24 Liberator bomber was because he had no choice but to do so.  Because Suri knows that even if he doesn't sell it to them, the Americans, who have strong comprehensive national strength, will develop these things by next year at the latest. If they sell them now, they can still get a good price. If they wait until the Americans can develop them themselves,  By then, even if he wanted to sell it, he wouldn't want it.

    And the most important thing is that Suri knows that the British still have a foreign exchange reserve of up to 4.5 billion U.S. dollars. Rather than taking advantage of the Americans, it is better to take advantage of himself. He does not expect this 4.5 billion U.S. dollars.  Being able to get them all, but even if you can get half of them, that would be a great thing. Then the things you can do will be huge.

    Thinking of this, Su Rui couldn't help but look at Sir Carl with a golden light, as if he saw a golden mountain waving to him.

    The talks continued. After two hours of wrangling, Sir Carl finally purchased 200 P-47 Thunder fighter jets on behalf of the British government, and jointly purchased 100 B-24 Liberator bombers and 200 bombers with the U.S. government.  M107 cannons, 300 M75 anti-aircraft guns, 200 M118 anti-aircraft guns, and 1,000 M1919A4 heavy machine guns, bullets and shells are not included, and these items added nearly 200 million US dollars to Suri's account.
