    Looking at Yang Zhen's rather dissatisfied look, Pearson shook his head and said, "Yang, didn't we already sell you a batch of P-39 fighter jets some time ago? And as far as I know, the number is as high as 350  Eighteen, with this number you already have a pretty good air defense capability."

    "Yang, I think having these fighter jets has partially satisfied your requirements. Don't be too greedy, right? The United States of America is a country governed by laws. Even the president cannot violate laws and regulations. We are here  "We have not been authorized to negotiate with you on any export of weapons and equipment, including weapons production lines, so we are sorry that we cannot meet your request."

    "At least until we get authorization from the White House, we can't satisfy you. So, can we talk about something else first? As for this, we have to communicate with the White House before we can reply to you. But there is one thing I can explain first. If the White House agrees,  They can only agree to transfer technology and production lines, but American original products will not be provided.

    "And the White House will never allow a situation like last time to happen again, allowing American products to be resold for profit. Especially in violation of U.S. laws. Yang, I hope you understand that it is allowed to treat you  The right to export planes is in the White House.¡±

    With Yang Zhen refusing to let go, Major Pearson played a card he didn't want to play.  He directly told Yang Zhen, we don't know anything about what you and the Soviets did before, it's just that we don't want to pursue it.

    His meaning is very clear. When it comes to purchasing aircraft production lines and aircraft production technology, there is no room for error.  But if you continue to be entangled like this and anger the White House, there will really be nothing left.

    ¡°In fact, the Americans originally didn¡¯t care who the Soviets sold the aircraft to.  But when Bell went to hand over the aircraft, it discovered that the person receiving the aircraft and paying his salary was actually Chinese.

    ¡°And these Chinese are not the National Government they have supported before, nor are they their so-called comrades in China.  It aroused the interest of Americans even more when they were still Chinese who persisted in resisting in Northeast China, known as Japan's lifeline.  It was also at this time that Yang Zhen and his troops came into the eyes of the Americans for the first time.

    "However, although the Americans thought that it would not be too simple for the Soviets to make such a big effort to support him, at that time the Americans only had some interest in Yang Zhen.  In fact, they are more willing to believe that Yang Zhen's troops were specially used by the Soviets to fight against the Japanese.  Otherwise, why would the Soviets spend so much money and even re-export American fighter jets to arm these people?

    It wasn¡¯t until they saw the documentary of last autumn¡¯s battle in Chongqing that the Americans really took Yang Zhen¡¯s troops into their sights.  The performance of Yang Zhen's troops on the battlefield made it difficult for Americans to believe that this army was trained by the Soviet army, which performed so poorly in last winter's battle.

    ¡°And judging from the subsequent reports from the American instructors who went to the Soviet Union to assist in modifying fighter jets, the training methods of these people are very different from the traditional Soviet training model.  Except for the basic instructors, these people did not receive tactical training from the Soviet army. Their tactics seemed to be figured out by themselves.

    It was precisely with this information, coupled with the achievements of Yang Zhen's troops announced by the central government, some of their development experiences, and the Japanese germ warfare information handed over by the central government, that Yang Zhen was truly listed as a soldier by the Americans.  One of the potential allies in the war.

    Yang Zhen, who didn't know that he first came into the sight of Americans because of the more than 300 fighter jets re-exported from the Soviet Union, looked at Major Pearson who looked non-negotiable, hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, fighter production line."  Let¡¯s put aside the issue first and let¡¯s discuss the issue of cash payment ratio.¡±

    "After all, money is the basis for solving everything, isn't it? Although money is not everything, but there is absolutely nothing you can do without money. For you Americans, money can solve all problems, right? For money, you would rather fight with  They are in the company of jackals. Watching countless Chinese people fall under the Japanese bombs, they still sell the steel used to make bombs to Japan for money.¡±

    "As well as all kinds of fuel for the planes that dropped these bombs, and even exported the bombs directly. At least half of the Chinese who fell under the Japanese bombs and artillery shells were due to you. Haven't you ever thought about it, you sell these  Will a bomb made of steel fall on your own heads one day in the near future? Then you will know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot."

    "For money you can sell your conscience and join the company of jackals. But now you are here with us for the little ones in your eyes."?And chatter endlessly.  What a hypocritical American and evil capitalist.  You sold C-47 transport aircraft technology to the Japanese last year and only charged US$90,000, which was very generous.  "

    "How come we are here, and your potential allies are bargaining endlessly for 200 million US dollars? Major Pearson, this gap is too big. If so, I would rather be your enemy. At least you will treat your future enemies,  Much more generous than us.¡±

    Yang Zhen¡¯s sarcastic words made every American present turn red.  It is American steel, gasoline, and advanced technology that support the Japanese, whose production capacity is not strong, to continue. This is clear to several people here.

    "A country that has always advertised fairness, justice, and freedom is now supporting one country's aggression against another country in disguise for the sake of money. Even the thick-skinned people feel somewhat embarrassed.  This cannot but be said to be a great irony to the American spirit of keeping their mouths shut.

    After a long time, Major Pearson said: "Yang, I hope we can get back to the topic and not talk about things we can't decide. Yang, although I really want to meet your needs, but unfortunately, we didn't  Obtain authorization to provide transfer of military equipment and technology.¡±

    "I will report what you want to the White House, but whether it can succeed depends on the attitude of the White House. We are just small people and cannot formulate US foreign policy. I hope you can understand this. I think we should not discuss the United States.  It is better to return to the topic of foreign policy.¡±

    Seeing that this guy didn't want to continue on this topic, Yang Zhen knocked on the table habitually and shrugged: "Major Pearson and everyone, I also want to continue talking. But you won't give in, why are we still talking like this?  I said 200 million US dollars is the bottom line, but you insist on paying only 100 million US dollars. The gap is too big. If we don¡¯t negotiate the amount of cash payment, how can we talk about anything else?¡±

    "Major Pearson, Mr. James, we are poor, but we have our principles. I don't know if you have carefully calculated it. On the list of supplies I provided, except for cars, they are all second-hand goods. Others  There is still a gap of at least one million US dollars between the actual price and the remaining 300 million US dollars. You should know that this million US dollars is already a big amount for us.¡±

    "In order to show our sincerity, we have made such a big concession under such difficulties. What do you want us to do? What do millions of dollars mean to us who are still in extremely difficult times?  You should know. We have made such a big sacrifice, what do you want us to do? You know, according to the price of the equipment provided by Jiangbei, we can buy thousands of tons of high-quality gasoline."

    Hearing Yang Zhen¡¯s words, the corners of James¡¯ mouth twitched.  As a soldier, Major Pearson didn't know how much the things Yang Zhen wanted were worth.  But as an executive director of a large company, James, who comes from an economic background, is very well-connected.  Although pharmaceuticals and industry are two different things, he can still roughly guess the actual value of these things.

    Yang Zhen¡¯s words almost made James vomit blood.  Although he couldn't express his true feelings due to the restriction of the occasion, in his heart, James still cursed: "You really stand up and talk without pain. Two car production lines, plus a full set of engines and vehicle production technology can't be negotiated for tens of millions of dollars."  Even second-hand equipment costs several million dollars at least.¡±

    "According to the chemical equipment, military production equipment, tens of thousands of tons of steel and cement on your list, the actual price of these is at least 200 million US dollars. There is also the steelmaking plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons.  A five-ton cement plant, even if it¡¯s second-hand, costs at least 20 million U.S. dollars. This doesn¡¯t include shipping and disassembly fees. Do you think American workers are as cheap as you Chinese?¡±

    "With the price difference, we still have a few million US dollars left. Including the oil extraction equipment you want, even if they are all second-hand goods, it will be good to get 300 million US dollars. You can just sleepwalk. Let's use our American industry  Are the products regarded as rubbish or worthless cabbage? ¡±

    Although James, whose face turned blue with anger, wanted to get angry on the spot, he looked at Pearson who was not very good-looking next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, let's take another step back, 130 million in cash." Yang  , We also need money to purchase the materials you requested. We also need to pay cash for shipping and disassembly fees.¡±

    "If all the cash is paid to you, several of our companies may go bankrupt. You wouldn't want to see our company buy your production technology, but then go back and be unable to produce because of a broken capital chain. One hundred and three hundred million  Tens of millions of dollars, so that we can now spendThe largest share of ?.  "

    Regarding this guy's bargaining, Yang Zhen shook his head without thinking and said: "No, 200 million U.S. dollars is not negotiable. I am a principled person, let alone a casual person. If I say 200 million U.S. dollars, it is 200 million.  U.S. dollars, can you please give me a nice word and stop whining like an old woman?¡±

    Hearing what this guy said, James and Major Pearson looked at each other and felt the urge to vomit blood.  Looking at the resolute and uncompromising Yang Zhen, James said cruelly: "150 million U.S. dollars, we can't raise the price any more. Any more and our capital chain will be really broken."
