mixed in the war

Chapter 499 Infighting?

Hull's complexion was indeed very bad.

Because the hand of the Chinese really makes them passive.

China is poor, China is being invaded, and the Chinese people may lose their lives at any time under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders... But they have not forgotten the people of the United States of America who once extended a helping hand to China and supported China in the War of Resistance!When the Chinese people heard that the United States had been attacked by the Japanese shamefully, they immediately stretched out their arms, which were not strong, and could even be said to be thin... They donated more than 100 million US dollars to the United States of America.

That's not a lot of money. Just over $100 million.From a national point of view, this amount of money is not even a drizzle.

That's another huge amount of money. More than 100 million US dollars.From the standpoint of ordinary Americans, this is a huge sum of money that can instantly lift people from hell to heaven.Although there are already billionaires this year, the most rich people are called "millionaires"!The Chinese actually took out so much money all at once. What does this mean?It shows that the Chinese people really have feelings for the United States, and they also sympathize with their experiences.

And according to the investigation by the FBI, the Chinese embassy is still operating secretly, telling the American people how much the more than $100 million is through newspapers and radio: In China, this money can arm at least ten divisions troops!Although these troops may only have an old rifle each, or even the smallest mortar, the troops of these ten divisions can defend against the Japanese aircraft and artillery that is already fragmented. land!In China, this money can help millions of refugees who have left their homes due to the war and have no food or clothing; in China, this 100 million US dollars can build more than 100 small and medium-sized factories and solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people; In China... In short, the Chinese have given their hearts to the American people.

But why do Chinese people do this?Because of the friendship between China and the United States.Because many Americans fought for China's war of resistance.Not to mention the few American pastors and doctors who came forward to expose the brutality of the Japanese army, but only Henry Luce, the founder of "Time" magazine, and his father, Lu Siyi, an old missionary.A missionary in China for 15 years, returned to the United States from 1912 until around 1930, has been the head of the (US) China Church University Foundation, and kept collecting donations for Yenching University in Beiping, China, and Qilu University in Shandong. Elderly people such as universities (also American missionary schools) who send school running funds by mail, have been working hard for many years to fight for China's independent war of resistance.

The Chinese will keep these friends firmly in mind!

The Chinese pay attention to "the kindness of a drop of water. The spring will repay each other"! [

Although China is very difficult now, and the enemy is getting stronger day by day, the Chinese will never give in, nor will they sit back and watch their friends suffer.The Chinese are willing to extend their hands of friendship to the American people at any time and do their best to help every American who can.

The American people are moved!

It is impossible not to be moved.

Look at the suffering of the Chinese people, look at what the Chinese people are suffering now...but they can cut down on food and clothing at this time.I would rather be hungry and suffering, but also express condolences to the United States, which was attacked by Japan, and do my best to support it.What a great feeling is this?

Many newspapers, magazines, and radio stations, including "Time" magazine, have also analyzed the situation in the Pacific Rim. These news media almost unanimously believe that it is precisely because of China's efforts to fight against Japan for several years, and precisely because of the poor The Chinese people, who are backward, backward, and may not even know a word, have fought against the Japanese invaders without fear of sacrifice, and the stability of the United States has been achieved.otherwise.The Japanese may have dropped their bombs on American soil long ago.The Japanese might even invade the continental United States directly.Because they were held back by the Chinese, they were forced to invest more than 100 million troops on the Chinese battlefield, and their strength was seriously insufficient.But if there is no Chinese, then, with the Japanese claiming to be the world's third largest maritime power, these troops can be thrown to North America, instead of just dropping 2000 airborne troops like now... And if that is the case.Well, congratulations to the United States. At the moment when all three Pacific railways are destroyed, the Panama Canal is destroyed, and the traffic between the east and the west is seriously affected, the western United States may be completely lost.Because the United States has not had many regular troops until now, and the garrisons in the west are even more pitiful.Faced with hundreds of thousands.Even more Japanese troops, the United States was almost defenseless. ...God bless America!There are Chinese standing in front of us.

These reports are somewhat sensational, and some are too high on China's role in the United States.But it is undeniable that there are many points of view that are quite correct.

And the most important point is.The U.S. "government" has become a negative teaching material in these reports without exception.

When China was invaded by Japan, at the most difficult time in China, the U.S. "government" regarded Japan as a threat to the United States, and still sold various military supplies to Japan, although these supplies were sold at high prices; when the Japanese launched shameful sneak attacks Before, the Chinese "government" had warned the United States many times, telling the United States to be careful of Japan and this crazy country, but the US "government" arrogantly ignored these warnings, insisting that Japan would not, and would not dare The United States launches an attack on...

Fortunately, the Chinese have not clearly expressed their pessimism about the situation in the Philippines. Otherwise, many Americans, especially the families of American soldiers in the Philippines, will come out to demonstrate and petition the "government".In that case, it will be even more difficult for the U.S. "government" to keep the squadron out of its colonies.

But even that is enough to make things difficult for the White House and Congress.

The Chinese have donated millions of dollars in such a difficult situation, so should the American people also express it?What's more, the Chinese people are just loans.Furthermore, the "government" also provided 50 destroyers to the United Kingdom before. Although it is said to be leased, does that mean the same thing?According to rumors, British Prime Minister Churchill jumped up for joy when he heard that the United States was attacked by Japan. How does this performance compare with that of the Chinese?The benefits of the US "government" to the British are far greater than those of the Chinese, right?Instead of giving money to those who just gloat and wish Americans would shed blood and die for them, why not give money to more trustworthy people?Moreover, Germany did not attack the United States.Should the United States go to Japan to retaliate first?And lending money to the Chinese is one of the best ways to retaliate against Japan.

Although the American people who keep their word in the United States will never be those who are talked about, the support of the people will still affect the "government" of the United States.This is also one of the reasons why the U.S. "government" knows these actions of the Chinese, but it cannot lose face with China...it is not easy to explain to the American people.

They can't tell the American people that the Chinese took out the 100 million, but they actually want to get back a hundred times or two hundred times from them, right?It's just a loan, you have to pay it back!What's more, I said it before.The British have also benefited from the United States. Although they have also been invaded, they have not lost much land, right?Compared with the Chinese, the suffering of the British is much smaller.But they have heard about what happened in the United States, have they donated money?

……

"We can't learn from the British. They have industries and colonies all over the world, and they can pay back the money, so the Americans are willing to borrow money. But we are different. We are too poor. If we want to get a loan, we can only play the emotional card... 100 Ten thousand times the investment, no matter what, you have to get back a thousand times the reward." Yan Huiqing looked at the expressions of Hull and others.He leaned into Song Ziwen's ear and whispered. [

"A thousand times?" Song Ziwen's face twitched three times, "Is your appetite too big? A thousand times a million, that's a billion dollars!"

"The estimate is about 30 billion." Yan Huiqing said with a straight face, "But this is the minimum."

"Crazy. You think Americans are fools? With so much money, it is enough to buy half of China." Song Ziwen gritted his teeth

"War is all about money. It's only 30 billion, which is only a fraction compared to European countries." Yan Huiqing sighed, "During World War I, the total military expenditure of the United Kingdom alone was 80 billion pounds. According to the exchange rate before World War II, that is 400 billion U.S. dollars. It was more than 20 years ago, and most of the army had not been mechanized, let alone the consumption of air force and armored forces. But now, according to our calculations, until now. Germany* The military expenditure has reached more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars, and Britain is not far behind. The Soviet Union has not officially entered the war, but only fought with the Japanese. The military expenditure has exceeded 400 billion U.S. dollars, and Japan is the least. It has been fighting for several years But it also invested 20 billion U.S. dollars... According to some data we have obtained, the military expenditure of the United States last year exceeded 70 billion U.S. dollars. This year, it was attacked by Japan, and the military expenditure will inevitably soar, and the preliminary estimate will reach 200 billion U.S. dollars US dollars, and once it enters the war, this number will increase again. Next year, it is expected that US government spending will rise to between 300 billion and 600 billion US dollars. Once the United States enters the war, the scale of the war will further expand. By then, Americans The military spending that needs to be invested will also be bullish again. It is estimated that at the most it may even be 800 billion a year, or even exceed 30 billion... Of course, such a large amount of money cannot be spent by themselves, so we expected [-] billion It’s not enough to see at all, it can only be regarded as “drift” and “drizzle” at most.”

"I don't care how much money you want to steal from the Americans, I just want to ask: Why don't I know anything about this?" Song Ziwen said angrily.

"I was going to tell you, but did you listen?" Yan Huiqing glanced at him, "You have your own way, and you don't even care about the words of the chairman. When you arrive in the United States, you just want us to listen to you Arrangement... a loan of 2000 million U.S. dollars first? You are so careful, I am ashamed to say that you represent a country."

"You..." Song Ziwen never expected that Yan Huiqing would dare to despise him like this, and almost exploded on the spot.But fortunately, he considered that there were Americans on the other side in time, so he couldn't lose face, so he temporarily restrained himself, planning to go back and trouble Yan Huiqing again.However, no matter how he suppressed it, his expression still changed, and this fell into the eyes of Henry Morgenthau Jr., the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, who had been watching coldly. So he spoke:

"Mr. Song..."
