    "However, considering the huge pressure we are currently under on the economy, I hope that you can increase part of the amount of financial assistance, at least in terms of military investment, so that we can breathe a little more and not be overwhelmed.  The huge military spending has completely overwhelmed us.”

    "With excellent personnel like Pearson, as the head of the US Army Observation Mission in the Anti-Japanese War, I think you should have a general understanding of our overall situation. You should be very clear about the taxes that we can now use as a source of funds. Almost  It’s like no.”

    "As the scale of the war expands, the demand for funds will only increase. The hundreds of thousands of troops eating, drinking, sleeping, sleeping every day are an astronomical figure. Now we are already in Yin, and if the scale of the army continues  It is difficult for us to withstand the pressure of expansion, but the reality of war forces us to continue to expand our military strength."

    "So I hope that the United States can double the financial assistance on this basis, so that while we can get a breather, we can expand enough troops to contain more Japanese troops. We must know that we can expand more  With one division, the United States will face one less Japanese division on the battlefield in the near future.”

    "As for the quantity of supplies, what I want to know is whether the numbers provided by Mr. Hopkins are the same standards that the U.S. government is preparing to provide us with every year in the next few years, or whether it is just from now to the end of the year.  The amount of time, Mr. Hopkins, is a critical issue."

    "If these are just the amount of supplies we can get from now to the end of the year, then we have no opinion for the time being. Although we also urgently need tanks and aircraft to cooperate with us in combat and reduce our casualties, the United States is also facing difficulties.  , we won’t be too pushy.”

    "However, I hope that the United States can add another 300 large tractors, corresponding combine harvesters and other corresponding agricultural equipment to the list of aid supplies. In this way, we can save part of the agricultural population and supplement it for combat operations.  Go among the troops."

    "Currently, the total population of our actual control area is less than 10 million. If we want to ensure enough supplementary soldiers and a certain number of reserve soldiers, then we must reduce the number of people involved in agricultural production, especially immediately.  They are the main force in agricultural production and the main source of soldiers.”

    "With agricultural production in most of our areas still relying on traditional manual production methods, recruiting a large number of soldiers among the agricultural population will inevitably reduce agricultural output. In this way, we need more than just materials and equipment.  We also need to increase a large amount of food and other supplies necessary for the survival of the army. In order to solve the conflict between eating and replenishing soldiers, we hope that the United States can assist us with a batch of machinery and equipment for agricultural production. "

    "There is also the amount of fuel. We hope to at least double this number on the basis of this number, so that we can ensure that in addition to ensuring the operational needs, we can ensure that we can maintain reserves for at least two to three months.  to prepare for any eventualities that may arise.

    "Mr. Hopkins, it seems that shipping from the United States to the Soviet Union through the Pacific is quite safe now, but once a war breaks out between the United States and Japan, the powerful Japanese navy will inevitably block the route from the United States to the Soviet Union and sink it.  All ships flying the U.S. flag.”

    "Once this transportation line is paralyzed, we will not be able to get enough fuel supply when needed, and then our already small number of heavy equipment will not be able to be put into the battlefield. Once this situation occurs, we will simply not be able to  Maintaining existing combat capabilities, especially the vital logistics supply capabilities, will also be greatly weakened."

    "As for the Arctic and Iranian routes that pass through other Soviet territories, I'm sorry Mr. Hopkins, these two routes don't matter to the Soviet Union, but they are too long for us. Once there are any accidents during transportation,  We will still be out of fuel at any time.”

    "Mr. Hopkins, I have to remind you that no matter what the Soviet Union guarantees on the issue of communication lines, you should not forget that it is during the war, and during the war, strange things will happen.  In order for us to have a certain reserve to cope with unexpected emergencies that may arise at any time, and to avoid being unable to put the most important equipment into combat at critical moments, I hope that the amount of fuel provided by the United States will be at least doubled.”

      “Also, I hope that the United States can provide us with another twenty air defense radars before the end of the year, as well as some observation and aiming devices used by anti-aircraft guns, especially high-power searchlights and long-range radio communication equipment, which are all our current  Most urgently needed.”

    For this series of questions and requests raised by Yang Zhen, Hopkins smiled and did not answer him directly. Instead, he took out a document from his assistant and handed it to Yang Zhen: "This was jointly studied by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union.  , within next year and the next two years, we will make a plan for the distribution of your materials and equipment.”

    Mr. Hopkins's statement was a conscious attempt to avoid Yang Zhen's request for more aid. It is obvious that Mr. Hopkins did not intend to increase the amount of aid supplies or financial aid this year.  On the other hand, before conducting any negotiations with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he directly turned the topic to next year and the distribution of materials and equipment in the future.

    Taking the plan that had been translated into Chinese from Hopkins, Yang Zhen read it carefully and handed it to Li Yanping beside him and said: "Mr. Hopkins, judging from this plan,  Starting next year, we can only get an allocation of 300 fighter jets, 100 light bombers, 300 tanks, and 70 combat defense guns every six months.”

    "As for the artillery and anti-aircraft weapons of various calibers, there are simply none. And even this quantity will not be provided until March next year at the earliest, depending on the situation. This means that basically the equipment we can get next year will only be 400.  aircraft and 300 tanks, and nothing else. You still can’t finalize this little equipment.”

    "Isn't it a little unreasonable for the United States to do this? You must know that all aspects currently involved in the war are added together. Our military-industrial capabilities are the weakest. Except for light weapons, we basically do not have any tanks, aircraft and  In terms of artillery manufacturing capabilities, why are we given the smallest share of equipment?”

    "Although I don't know what the numbers assigned to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union are, I think they must be far more than us in terms of numbers. I don't want to know if other parties have intervened in this list, but the U.S. government has done so.  , It’s not that it’s too unfair to us.”

    "In terms of material distribution, except for cotton, cloth, leather and other materials that cannot be directly used in combat, which are still relatively sufficient, in terms of other military materials, we only have 6,000 tons of smokeless gunpowder and 10,000 tons of explosives every year  Share, there is no armor steel and aluminum required for manufacturing aircraft, only 32,000 tons of gun steel and 50,000 tons of ammunition steel per year.”

    "The quantity of various types of fuel we urgently need is only 50,000 tons per year. Cars are more generous, and there are only 10,000 vehicles per year. However, there is a blank in terms of other corresponding materials, especially when we urgently need them.  In terms of machinery and equipment, except for some small arms production lines, you simply give us nothing.”

    "Mr. Hopkins, with all due respect, according to the total amount of the supplies you have given, even if they are all safely delivered on time and in full, and are not missing any parts during transportation, it is still almost unsatisfactory.  Half of what we need.”

    "This battle only lasted for more than two months, and the large amount of supplies we had stored before the war was almost exhausted. During the entire battle, the fuel consumption used by cars, tanks, and aircraft reached more than 20,000 tons.  , not only have all the 3,000 tons of gasoline we imported from you been used up, but all the gasoline we had previously stored has also been used up.”

    "As for the consumption of ammunition, not counting anti-aircraft shells and small-caliber artillery, millions of rounds of mortar shells and mountain artillery shells alone were consumed. As for the consumption of light weapons ammunition and other materials, it has not been calculated. It does not count.  The quantity produced during the war and the original reserves before the war were basically all used up.”

    "Mr. Hopkins, since you already know what happened last night, you should also know why we took the initiative to terminate this battle even though we were victorious, instead of chasing down the enemy with more strength.  And this battle is just a medium-sized battle.”

    "If the United States hopes that we can assume more responsibilities and share more pressure, then making small fuss will never have the effect you hope for. And your stinginess and stinginess in terms of supplies and equipment are necessary.  We made amends with the blood of our soldiers.”

    "And the small amount of supplies you allocate to us is still an amount that may not be enough for the originally small amount of heavy equipment. Mr. Hopkins, are you, the United States, kidding us?  Are you going to play? You are having difficulty with heavy equipment and we are not able to provide it for the time being. It is not unacceptable to us.”

    “You have to do something else in other ways.??Let us at least maintain our current combat capabilities and attack capabilities. If you don't give them to us, we should be able to produce them ourselves. But our industrial base is there. Even if all construction is completed,  It is simply unable to meet the combat needs of the troops. In terms of military raw materials, we have a greater demand for your supplies.  "

    "But the small amount of supplies you gave me, to put it bluntly, is not aid to an ally. You are sending beggars away. I'm sorry, although I don't want to describe it this way, but you gave me this small amount of supplies."  It’s something I can’t even squeeze between my teeth, so I have to think like this.”

    "The Japanese army is not dregs of tofu, nor is it a piece of sand that can fall over at a push. They are an army that has been trained strictly and even quite cruelly. Facing such an army, especially the Kanto Army, which is their most elite strategic group,  We can only win every battle by investing more energy and strength in fighting them.”

    "Furthermore, Japan's mobilizable population and the country's overall war potential are far beyond ours. Unfortunately, Mr. Hopkins, let alone the military-industrial base, even with our current population, even  We are willing to pay with blood to compensate, but we cannot afford it.”; Didn't finish reading?
