The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 683 You Can Buy Scrap

Hearing Gao Jiu said that she was going to return to the Golden Triangle, Lin Yanni was not happy, but rather disappointed.

These days, she has been able to get along with Gao Jiu day and night. Although the conditions are difficult and the battles are endless, she still thinks it is so beautiful.She doesn't care about the quality of her living conditions, as long as she can be with her lover, she is very satisfied.

But she also knew that it would be a matter of time before she left Luzon.She said: "Understood, Ninth Brother, I will hand over the intelligence work to the intelligence department of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army as soon as possible."

After hearing the news that Gao Jiu was going to leave Luzon Island, Zhu Jianmin, Chen Yuqing, Li Mingquan and others immediately felt a lot of pressure.Although the northern area of ​​Luzon Island is relatively stable now, there are still many Japanese troops in the south of Luzon Island, and Luzon Island is surrounded by the sea, and the Japanese army may land in the northern part of Luzon Island at any time.

If Gao Jiu wasn't here, they wouldn't feel at ease.After discussing, they came to see Gao Jiu and asked Gao Jiu to stay in Luzon for a while.

Gao Jiu was aware of the development of the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese army had already started to go downhill, and it was basically impossible to send more troops to Luzon Island. Sooner or later, they would abandon Luzon Island.

So Gao Jiu patiently persuaded them to do a good job in building the base area and training the troops. When the Japanese army abandoned Luzon Island, they could attack on a large scale to eliminate the puppet regime in southern Luzon Island and liberate Luzon Island.

Gao Jiu explained a lot of truths from the international situation to the situation in Southeast Asia to reassure them.But everyone didn't know what to do, and still begged Gao Jiu to stay.

It was difficult for Gao Jiu to persuade these people, and he felt a headache, so he had to ask Lin Yanni to collect some more information about the Japanese and puppet troops in southern Luzon Island to prove his judgment was correct, so as to dispel everyone's doubts.

Before Zhu Jianmin and others could be persuaded here, the Americans came to the door again.

It was George, Tyler, and Colum.George was very hot-tempered. He questioned Gao Jiu when he came up. He said, "Mr. Gao, didn't you already promise to rescue the prisoners of war who were imprisoned on Lushun Island? Now that they haven't been rescued, why are you leaving?"

Gao Jiu said: "Didn't I tell you? Now is not the time. Even if we go to rescue people, there is no way to bring them back. Think about it, whether the Japanese are on land, sea or air, they They are very mobile, and they can intercept the rescued prisoners of war at any time, and what awaits them at that time is massacre. We must wait until the Mi army has command of the sea or the air before we can do this.”

Columb said: "We have already contacted the US military. It won't be long before the US navy can come to Luzon Island."

He said these words in order to stabilize Gao Jiu. The US Navy only said that they are preparing to come to Luzon Island. As for when will they come?There is no letter of approval either.

Of course Gao Jiu knew that the Mi Army did not have the ability to counterattack the Philippines in 1943. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on the Mi Army to rescue these American prisoners of war this year.

Gao Jiu said: "In this case, let's wait until your American navy can gain command of the sea in the Philippines before we start to act."

George said anxiously: "Who knows when the navy will arrive here? Those prisoners of war are suffering in prison camps now, and people are dying every day. How can they wait until the US Navy arrives here to rescue them? You are trying to shirk Responsibility. We Americans and you Chinese are comrades-in-arms of the Allied Powers, you can’t do nothing.”

Taylor could understand Gao Jiu's difficulties, he said: "Mr. Gao, I know this is difficult, but I still hope you can lend a helping hand."

Gao Jiu said: "I understand your feelings, let me think about this matter again."

The Americans didn't know what to do, and they didn't know how to persuade Gao Jiu, so they had to leave.

Back at the residence, George was still very angry, saying that Gao Jiu was irresponsible.

Columb originally wanted to play tricks on Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu turned his back on the army, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Perhaps also from the special forces, Taylor seems to have a deeper understanding of Gao Jiu.These days, the situation in Luzon Island has undergone tremendous changes under the auspices of Gao Jiu. Taylor still admires Gao Jiu very much. He has carefully studied every battle commanded by Gao Jiu, and believes that Gao Jiu Jiu is a thoughtful person with an overall view, and he thinks Gao Jiu is also a person who keeps his word.

Last time Gao Jiu clearly said that he would find a way to rescue these rice army prisoners of war, but now he suddenly changed his tune. He always felt that there were some things that he didn't understand.But he still thinks that Gao Jiu is willing to help and save people, as if there is something hidden in it.

After all, Taylor is a pure soldier. In addition, the way of thinking of Americans is different from that of Chinese, so he cannot make an accurate judgment for a while.

He said: "I think Mr. Gao agreed to save people. Why did he suddenly change his mind? We might as well ask these important people for advice."

George and Colum agreed with Taylor, so they came to find the five important Americans.

Among the five Americans were politicians and businessmen. Their social experience was much richer than these soldiers. After simple analysis and discussion, they quickly came to a conclusion.Gao Jiu is willing to save people, and he must be capable of rescuing those rice prisoners of war.The reason why he suddenly changed his mind was because he wanted to raise conditions.

So, they decided to send a politician who was born as a businessman to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

The analysis of these Americans was not wrong. Gao Jiu would not see those prisoners of war of the American army being held in captivity without going to rescue them.However, he knows the American people too well. The American people always put their interests first in doing things, and they use people to move forward instead of backward.When the interests are the same, they will cooperate with you. If the interests are different, or if they feel that you are useless, they will immediately turn against you.

Therefore, Gao Jiu wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Americans wanted more from him, and negotiate terms with them.

Gao Jiu is neither short of money nor technology, but he lacks one thing, which is advanced machine tools.

Americans have strict control over this aspect. A considerable part of the machine tool equipment purchased in the Golden Triangle area was during World War I, or before the start of World War II. Gao Jiu could not buy new machine tool equipment at all, even if the Americans were in The Golden Triangle area has invested in the construction of many factories, but they also firmly control advanced machine tools and equipment in their own hands, and Gao Jiu can't get them.

Although Gao Jiu has the drawings of machine tools, an advanced machine tool requires dozens or even hundreds of parts. With the current industrial strength of the Golden Triangle, it cannot be fully produced.

Gao Jiu wants to seize this opportunity to get the American people to agree to sell him advanced machine tools and equipment, and ask them to invest in the construction of advanced machine tool equipment production plants in the Golden Triangle area.

Gao Jiu came to Luzon Island this time and rescued those important people from the American country. Although the American people expressed their gratitude and said that they would definitely repay Gao Jiu in the future, I am afraid that Gao Jiu will not be rewarded in the future or will not be able to say well. to his fair share.He must take advantage of what the American people want from him now to achieve the goal he wants to achieve.

The negotiators sent by the Americans are not only members of Congress, but also business leaders.His name is Miller, and he is a well-known machinery manufacturer in the United States.

After seeing Gao Jiu, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Gao, you have helped us Americans a lot this time. The Americans, including me, express our heartfelt thanks to you. Mr. Gao, you are a pragmatic person." , We Americans are also pragmatic people. What conditions do you have for rescuing those American prisoners of war? You can ask them directly.”

For these five Americans, Gao Jiu had already learned about their backgrounds through various channels.The reason why Gao Jiu made such a performance was because he knew what he wanted to offer, and through the influence of these Americans, he could help him realize it.

Miller himself is a machinery manufacturer, and his company has a company that produces advanced machine tool equipment, so he talked to Miller about his request.

Miller is part of the military-industrial complex of the largest interest group in the United States, and has a high influence in both military and political terms in the United States.He himself mastered the production of machine tools and equipment, and was fully capable of helping Gao Jiu achieve his goal.

He said: "Mr. Gao, the United States has strict regulations. The Ministry of Military Industry and the Ministry of Commerce have both legislated to prohibit the export of advanced machine tools at this stage. However, we can find a way to sell you some of the scrapped machine tools."

If ordinary people heard him say that, they would definitely be furious, but Gao Jiu is a person with high EQ, and he knew that Miller would not joke with him. The scrapped equipment he mentioned, the word scrapped, It must be in quotes.

He smiled and said, "Okay! What are you going to do?"

Miller said: "The new machine tool equipment from the manufacturer is not allowed to be sold to the outside world. However, when the machine tool equipment is sold to a manufacturer in the United States, it will be eliminated due to various circumstances during the use process. These eliminated Manufacturers can handle machine tools and equipment by themselves, and no one will pay attention to this matter. I heard that Mr. Gao has your own company in the United States, and you can buy some obsolete machine tools and equipment as waste products. Of course, these equipment are actually Brand new."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll buy some scraps."

Miller is a shrewd businessman. After negotiating the matter with Gao Jiu, he said: "Mr. Gao, my company can produce a large number of machine tools before World War II. If you are interested, we can cooperate. "

Gao Jiu was very interested in this, because at that time, many machine tools and equipment were not the most advanced, but for most of the enterprises under Gao Jiu's command, the performance was enough, Gao Jiu could also use these ready-made machine tools The equipment is upgraded and updated to improve their performance, and the purchase of these machine tools will not be restricted by the U.S. Department of Military Industry and the Department of Commerce, and the price is relatively cheap.

Miller sold these machine tools and equipment to Gao Jiu, and he also made a lot of profits from it. The two parties hit it off.Gao Jiu also proposed to let Miller invest in the construction of a machine tool production plant in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle. He did not require the production of the most advanced machine tool equipment.

This is of great benefit to improving the machinery manufacturing capacity in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle, improving the structure of the industrial chain, increasing employment, and creating tax revenue. Gao Jiu said that he can also enter into a joint venture with Miller.

Miller readily agreed. He was very interested in Gao Jiu's business and technological capabilities. He said, "Mr. Gao, last time the U.S. Military Industry Department sent a delegation to Chongqing to reach a lot of cooperation projects with you. Last time I I still regret that I did not send a representative to participate in this fair. I hope that we can strengthen cooperation in the future, implement the advanced technologies and products in your hands, and give full play to its due economic benefits.”

Gao Jiu was also very happy. He said that after he left Luzon, he would welcome Miller to the Golden Triangle as a guest.

Gao Jiu promised Miller that he would arrange to rescue the prisoners of war of the Mi Army as soon as possible.

In this way, Gao Jiu made a little use of people from the Luzon Island Administrative Committee and the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, including Lin Yanni. Of course, he would not do anything that would endanger them, but only used them to create a The atmosphere puts pressure on the Americans.

Now that Gao Jiu had achieved his goal, he sent a telegram to Xiao Yatong in the United States, asking her to contact the person arranged by Miller.

Although Gao Jiu reached an agreement with the American people, he will not trust the American people easily. He will wait until Xiao Yatong and the American people realize what he wants before starting to organize the rescue of the American prisoners of war.

While waiting for Xiao Yatong's news, Gao Jiu directed the training troops of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Army.

Not long after, Xiao Yatong sent a telegram.

When Jia Liu sent the telegram, Lin Yanni was in Gao Jiu's room.Gao Jiu learned that it was Xiao Yatong who sent the telegram, so he said, "Sister, go and get me a copy of the Japanese army's information from the past two days."

Lin Yanni agreed and walked out.

The reason why Gao Jiu sent her out was because he knew that Xiao Yatong would definitely write something inappropriate for children in the telegram, and he didn't want Lin Yanni to feel uncomfortable after seeing it.

Xiao Yatong confides her heart to Gao Jiu in the telegram. She misses Gao Jiu very much, and hopes that Gao Jiu can take the opportunity of rescuing the prisoners of war in the United States to go to the United States this time.

She said in the telegram that the result of her negotiation with Miller's company was that she could use the people of Miller's company to help purchase the machine tools needed by Gao Jiu in a disguised form, and arrange for the US Air Force to transport them to the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu saw that he had achieved his goal, so he began to plan to rescue the American prisoners of war.

Gao Jiu quickly formulated a detailed plan to rescue the American prisoners of war. He did not disclose the details of the plan to George, Taylor and others. Their rank was too low to be the master.

Gao Jiu still found Miller, told Miller his thoughts frankly, and asked Miller to discuss this matter with the high-level officials in the United States.
