    Chapter 122 Aggressive For Truman, Logan¡¯s historical impression is condensed in the words ¡°atomic bomb¡±, ¡°NATO¡±, ¡°Korean War¡± and ¡°Cold War¡±.  As the president of the United States, he ordered the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan, which promoted the end of World War II. After the war, he implemented containment policies against socialist countries, implemented the "Truman Doctrine", formed "NATO", participated in the Korean War, and ultimately promoted the Cold War.  The formation of the pattern.  It can be said that the foreign policy of the United States truly turned to hegemonism in the hands of Truman. Its political and military influence spread all over the world, and it actively played the role of "world police".  In Logan's view, it is difficult to describe Truman in just a few words, but one thing that is certain is that, as the saying goes, "Jin Lin is not a thing in the pond." As long as there are conditions and opportunities, he will definitely be able to bloom on the stage of history.  Dazzling light.  "As far as we know armed personnel loyal to Germany are assisting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in fighting and have successfully delayed the Italian offensive. King Ibn Saud hopes that the United States can adopt a similar model and send elite armed forces to participate in the war." Truman said in  Although his tone was calm when he said this sentence, the content of his words was quite weighty.  Because of this, he looked straight ahead and did not avoid the gazes of the political dignitaries present.  "Ahem" Logan coughed to ease the atmosphere, and then said: "It is true that our volunteers arrived in Saudi Arabia more than a week ago and fought some good battles, but this is a secret after all.  Official military action. Regardless of whether the U.S. government follows up, we will not risk violating the German-Italian agreement by providing you with military bases. At best it will provide you with limited secret assistance for your operations." Truman was unhurried.  He responded: "As a loyal strategic partner, we certainly will not let the German government get into the trouble of violating international agreements. We just hope to obtain temporary transfer stations close to the war zone through secret leases. Once the war is over, these transfer stations will be immediately  "Return" The other party had already said this. Logan could not ignore the current strategic cooperative relationship between Germany and the United States, so he simply took advantage of the U.S. government's request and issued a "condition": "If your government decides to respond to Ibn.  The King of Saudi Arabia has asked for help and sent troops. As a partner country with the same position, we naturally cannot sit idly by and watch the agreement on leasing tactical transfer stations and related equipment. We can come up with it and negotiate in detail with the ship construction plan that has previously reached cooperation intentions. If we can  Sign the formal agreement, and I believe that your country will soon be able to obtain an ideal transfer station. I also ask Mr. Special Envoy to convey these suggestions to President Roosevelt." After hearing this, Truman smiled very calmly.  Although the relationship between Germany and the United States is developing well, the two major industrial powers are still the world's largest strategic competitors. The U.S. Navy's huge shipbuilding orders could have further consolidated the U.S.'s own shipbuilding industry's global advantage. Once separated,  Half is handed over to Germany, and the principle of one trade-off is almost universally known.  "Okay, I will convey your original intention to President Roosevelt." "In addition, there is another situation that needs to be conveyed to the President as soon as possible by the special envoy." Logan held the hot tea just sent from Shi to resist the stillness in the tent.  Cold air below zero, "If the U.S. government ultimately chooses to enter a state of war with Italy, we will continue to abide by neutrality. Considering that a complete suspension of military trade will have a negative impact on Germany and the United States, we are prepared to adopt a 'cash and carry'  At the same time, the arms sales policy has significantly increased the selling price of military supplies - the Italians will be paid according to the price, and the US government will reduce the actual cost by providing technical drawings, maintenance spare parts, etc." "Oh, high prices and cash purchases from  "Transport" Truman nodded. "Cash and Carry" was originally a very common trade method. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the United States amended the Neutrality Act to allow belligerent countries to purchase weapons from the United States under the "Cash and Carry" regulations. Although in the end  It failed to help the British and French allies win the war, but it became the most influential national policy during the war.  At this time, Germany's imitation seems to be powerful to the financially strong US government, but the real beneficiary is not any of the warring parties. "Well, I think the main purpose of Mr. Special Envoy's trip has been achieved, and now" Rogan said  He turned to two US generals in civilian clothes and asked, "Is it time to ask the two generals to speak?" The two generals from the United States seemed to be surprised by the straightforward way of speaking of the German Chancellor - they were obviously still there before coming.  I was worried about how to approach the topic. After all, I was not an expert in diplomacy. Moreover, this meeting was an "interview" with someone who was several levels higher than the other party. It was not appropriate to speak rashly.  Seeing that his companion was hesitant, Truman took the initiative to answer: "The Prime Minister indeed has an amazing pair of eyes, and can easily see through everything. General Emmens and General Lockwood's trip was indeed inspired by President Roosevelt.""I came here with the hope of learning the advanced experience of modern warfare from my German colleagues." Although the other party said "learning", Logan knew that "asking for help" would be more appropriate here. Since this diplomat has rich diplomatic experience and is quite calm  The special envoy tried to change the negotiating weight through the concept of **, and he endured the cold and laughed: "Advanced experience?  "Oh, our advanced experience lies in land blitzes and large-scale paratrooper assaults. Obviously, there is no room for these experiences to be used in the Pacific Theater." On this professional issue, Truman found it difficult to refute, and General Delos Emengs said this  Finally, he spoke in his beautiful English with a strong accent, and he spoke it all at once. At the beginning, his speaking speed was slow and his words were easy to understand, but as he spoke, his speaking speed became unconscious.  The ground sped up, and there were even a lot of swallowing sounds. After finishing speaking, Emens looked at Logan, waiting for the powerful man to respond, but what he answered was a very simple elementary English:  "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand. Can you say it again slowly?  " Emmeng was dumbfounded for a moment, and Logan actually didn't understand it at all, but the U.S. Army lieutenant general was just explaining the German air force's plan to export f¨¦ng to the United States. He had no choice but to speak word by word.  He repeated it, unconsciously changing some words in the middle. It seemed insignificant, but Logan silently remembered it. "Okay, I understand roughly what you meant. In fact, we have been very generous to the U.S. Army.  The technical department provided the technical parameters of Germany's active fighter jets, which were obtained through rigorous testing. The U.S. government ultimately selected the Wolf 190 more because of its solid structure and strong firepower, and the framework agreement was announced a few days ago.  has been officially signed.  In this case, I do not think it is necessary to conduct a so-called simulated air battle, and once the 'cash and carry' policy during the war is announced, I fear that there will be no other reason to prevaricate the Italians except the order sequence - they are very interested in it.  "I am very, very interested in the Wulf fighter jet and have a strong willingness to deploy it to East Africa and West Asia." Emmengs immediately expressed regret, and his face was indeed full of disappointment. He reluctantly said: "  Out of respect for the German government, I am willing to cancel the proposal just now, but the United States still sincerely hopes that the strategic partners can provide some technical assistance. "This big framework is something that the German authorities will not refuse. In view of this, Emmen  Just now gs revealed the "key point": "Currently we are committed to developing high-power airborne radar and mounting platforms, and the German Air Force has considerable experience in this area. We hope to obtain a complete set of technology transfer and order a batch of finished products  "The so-called radar aircraft is a new reconnaissance aircraft with airborne early warning functions. Three small-scale production models with different ranges and functions have been equipped with the German Air Force, but in general they are still national top-secret technologies. "During the visit  During my stay in the United States, I explained to President Roosevelt face to face that Germany's arms sales policy is: as long as it is produced in a finalized manner, it can be sold to the United States.  However, in terms of airborne radar, we are indeed still in the research and development stage, and there is no model that has been officially put into production.  As for learning from experience, I must admit that every country has its own technology that needs to be kept secret. According to international practice, this should be respected." Logan said "blind lies" without blushing or heartbeat.  Although Mengs was not a diplomat, he at least knew that he could not pierce the "window paper" based on intelligence alone. He asked the German Chancellor: "The battlefield is the best place to test a piece of equipment, isn't it?  " Logan replied tit for tat: "Of course, if we succeed in developing it, this new equipment can of course be sent to the United States for actual combat testing. There are still many weapons in the research and development stage, but the laws of history are destined that only some of them will succeed.  " Emengs was helplessly defeated - this was not a conversation at the same level at all. The environment, atmosphere and huge differences between the two parties made him unable to continue. Seemingly worried that the atmosphere would become rigid, Truman lowered his stance and said:  "Your Excellency, this is just our unilateral suggestion. You don't have to mind it too much." Logan took a sip of tea and turned his attention to the US Navy Vice Admiral present.  Our German colleagues can get some help here." Charles Lockwood's eyes wandered from Logan to Redel, and then quickly back again. "You still feel that we are secretly providing submarine personnel, equipment and equipment to the Japanese Navy.  Technical Support?  "Logan asked coldly. "No, of course not," Lockwood said quickly, "This is just some unwarranted speculation. I think the German government will definitely not maintain military cooperation with Japan, but at present  We confirm"There are some insurmountable problems in torpedoes. In addition, our number of submarines is too small, and their contribution to the war situation is very limited." "We have heard a little bit about these." Logan looked at Redel, "In this way, the submarine problem  It can be settled through negotiation with the shipbuilding matters, and we will try our best to give you a satisfactory answer." Two considerable weights were put together on the scale of weighing shipbuilding orders, but there was a gloomy look on Special Envoy Truman's calm face.  []
