mixed in the war

"Doctor, that's just my personal wish."

As if seeing Leighton Stuart's doubts, Qin Wei said with a smile again.

"As one of the highest-ranking generals in China, General, your personal wishes can sometimes affect the will of the entire Chinese government." Leighton Stuart just shook his head, "And as far as I know, your foreign policy towards China The influence of your country has reached an astonishing level. We even found out that many of the negotiations with your country’s ambassador to the United States were directed by you behind the scenes. Isn’t that wrong?”

"Doctor, you came prepared." Qin Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Even this investigation is so clear...then my name has already been registered with President Roosevelt?"

"Mr. President is really curious about you." Leighton Stuart did not deny, "and he also admires you very much. But it is a pity that your position and some of the actions you have recently promoted the Chinese government to do are not in line with the United States Benefit."

"Really? Then can I make this sentence public?" Qin Wei asked back.

"No!" Leighton Stuart shook his head directly, "And even if you make it public, we won't admit it."

"It seems that I don't have to worry about your country not cooperating with us." Qin Wei laughed again.

"The United States and China must cooperate. Otherwise, after Japan obtains the resources in Southeast Asia, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the Pacific Ocean. However, compared with the United States, China's losses will be greater." Stuart said in a deep voice.He had already learned from the telegram that Qin Wei had a good eye for foreign affairs, but he never thought that Qin Wei was also good at catching the loopholes in other people's words.He just said that some of Qin Wei's actions were not in the interests of the United States, and he actually wanted to use this to put pressure on the other party.Ordinary Chinese, only those angry literati would ignore it, but Chinese government officials will basically think carefully after hearing such words.In order not to cause dissatisfaction with these great powers with their own words.After all, China has not had the guts to challenge the great powers for so many years.But Qin Wei was more direct than those angry literati, and asked him if he dared to make these words public...Of course not.It has been made public. Doesn't that mean that the Roosevelt administration has been unwilling to cooperate with the Chinese to send troops to rescue the US troops in the Philippines, and the reason is only because of Mr. President's conjecture?For a guess, he dared to disregard the lives of tens of thousands of people. How much should Roosevelt deserve to die?However, Qin Wei got the answer he wanted from the phrase "cannot be made public": the U.S. government is willing to cooperate. Although they may take precautions, they have no choice.

"At present, if China's power is concentrated, it can only fight a modern war with about 10 people." Qin Wei sighed again, "Doctor, this is China's power."

"Are you kidding?" Leighton Stuart laughed, "The weapons Timoshenko left behind are enough for you to fight a high-intensity war with millions of people."

"What you said is within the scope of China. But what I said is outside." Qin Wei said seriously. "And the Soviets were very stingy. They were forced to give up all their weapons, but they played tricks. They rigged a lot of weapons... I don't mean heavy weapons. We take those things very seriously. , they didn’t dare to do anything, but they did their hands on ordinary individual weapons.... You don’t know? Among the Soviet-made firearms left by the Timoshenko Group, one-third of them have no bolts or firing pins !"

"Is there such a thing?" Leighton Stuart was stunned, "How could they do this? It's simply embarrassing."

"Stalin felt that we were taking advantage of the fire, and he was very angry. But he couldn't do anything about us. So he used this kind of shameless trick. And what about us? We lost so many things because of a momentary negligence. Talking nonsense?" Qin Wei shook his head and sighed.

"But even so, you should have received enough supplies." Leighton Stuart said.

"In a battle to recover Shanxi, we consumed more than 3000 tons of large-caliber shells. And this battle is still going on." Qin Wei asked: "Doctor, do you want us to stop this war , and then transfer all resources to the South?"

"As far as I know, the Squadron rarely has such a 'luxury' on the battlefield!" Leighton Stuart expressed his disbelief.

"Your country's air force hero, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, was on the front line in Shanxi. He drove his B-25 medium-range bomber to the Japanese position more than once. Not long ago, he was able to deliver It is no longer a bomb, but a napalm bomb and a large explosive bag! Do you know how sad this is for us?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"Speaking of napalm bombs, we also have a question." Leighton Stuart avoided the question just now, "As far as we know, napalm bombs should only be weapons owned by the Chinese government so far, but why is it in the Philippines? During the battle, the Japanese also used this kind of weapon with huge lethality? We need an explanation from your country, a reasonable explanation."

"Doctor, the U.S. military is also developing napalm bombs." Qin Wei laughed, "Britain, Germany, Italy, and even the Soviet Union are all developing napalm bombs. The Germans also used this bomb many times in their attack on the Soviet Union not long ago." A kind of bomb, and caused a lot of damage to the Soviet army. They even threw such bombs in large quantities into the forests of the Soviet Union to force the Soviets hiding in them to come out and surrender. But the Soviets did not express anything to us , do you know why?"

"..."

"Because they know that as long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to research this kind of bomb. This is not a problem for any country with a little scientific research strength, let alone a country with advanced technology like Germany." Qin Wei He said with a smile, "Germany and Japan have always been allies. If the Japanese were not trying to attack Southeast Asia and obtain the resources of Southeast Asia, their main force may now be attacking the Soviet Union with the German army! So, even if the Japanese cannot develop it themselves The Germans can also supply them with such bombs. There is nothing surprising about that."

"We hope to obtain the formula for napalm." Leighton Stuart said helplessly, smacking his lips.He could hear the sarcasm in Qin Wei's words clearly, but he had nothing to say.The scientific research strength of the United States is not weaker than that of any other country, but the Germans have it, and the Japanese have it too, but they have never been able to develop the formula of this powerful bomb. This cannot but be said to be a failure.

"Yes." Qin Wei spread his hands, "We need 100 million tons, and at least 50 tons of oil supply every year after that."

"General Qin..."

"Don't worry, doctor." Seeing that Leighton Stuart's expression changed, Qin Wei laughed again, "The fuel can be deducted from the loan provided by your country."

"China can't use so much oil." Leighton Stuart shouted.

"It can be used." Qin Wei said seriously, "And it will be used more and more, especially the heavy fuel oil used by ships and warships! I have already estimated it at the minimum amount."

"No, no, general...China can't use so much oil. Believe me! You want too much." Leighton Stuart continued shaking his head.

"Last year, U.S. crude oil production was 150317 million barrels, equivalent to 2 million tons; this year is coming to an end, and your crude oil production is 591 million barrels, or approximately 140418 million tons!" Qin Wei snorted coldly: "Now When the war comes, your crude oil production will only increase, and your military’s crude oil consumption will also increase. In my estimation, the US military will consume at least 1 million tons of oil every year in the future! Our What is needed is only one percent of yours, and you don't agree?"

"But the squadron doesn't have so many mechanized weapons, you..."

"We will have a more powerful navy and air force soon! Moreover, as long as your government agrees to borrow money, then we can also quickly have one or even more mechanized troops." Qin Weidao, "I think, this is very important It is a good thing for your country, especially for your arms dealers. Because what they get is not only an order, but also a country's weapon standards! This is a long-term, at least decades long Business...you don't suffer."

"We provide you with a maximum of 10 tons of oil every year." Leighton Stuart still insisted.

"50 tons, not less than a gram." Qin Wei said solemnly, "This is our minimum requirement. As for the specific needs of various oils, I will notify them to provide you with a detailed receipt."

"General, even if we agree to your request, do you have a corresponding reserve? This is oil, not grain, and cannot be stored casually." Leighton Stuart shouted.

"I don't think this is a problem. Your country can definitely provide us with enough assistance in this regard." Qin Wei said quite naturally.

"... General, Americans are not philanthropists!" Leighton Stuart was anxious.Qin Wei's words gave him a feeling that he had been blackmailed, and it was a strong blackmail, which did not allow him any room to object.

"We are not philanthropists either. Thirty thousand US soldiers, plus a general, oh, lieutenant general, major general, etc., should be worth the price. And I seem to have heard that Hitler is very satisfied with the recent performance of the Japanese , so I gathered a batch of new planes and sent them over. Tsk tsk, I heard that these planes have already arrived in Novosibirsk, if there is a little more delay, they will fly over the Philippines." Qin Wei pretended Sighing, "Doctor, the 'Hellcat' has a considerable advantage against the Type Zero, but their efficacy against the German-made aircraft may have yet to be tested. You don't want this test to be in Manila. above?"
