Chapter 59 Reasons for the delegation’s visit to China

Hearing Li Junhao's words, everyone at the reception nodded. Yes, in China now, most of the country has been lost. The Japanese army implemented brutal and high-pressure rule over the occupied areas. Countless Chinese people were bullied and killed. They have always claimed to be a righteous stand. Americans cannot accept it in terms of values!

However, everyone knows that the current domestic policy has been pursuing isolationism, and even President Roosevelt's government has no ability to reverse it!

In addition, a group of businessmen were still muttering in their hearts: At present, the country is still maintaining export trade to Japan. War-related export materials include scrap steel, oil, machine tools, electronics, and chemical products. Even among the businessmen present, There are individuals or companies involved directly or indirectly in this trade.

"Okay, little Ogg, these matters are not something you can interfere with now. Just do your job first!" Riester patted Li Junhao on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Johnson, little Ogg is still young. Need more experience and growth..."

"It's a good thing that young people are energetic. I'm optimistic about little Ogg!" Jason said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. List, he will grow up as soon as possible in the Far East, and we will all help him."

The time of the two important people was precious, and many people were waiting to come forward to chat. Li Junhao said a few words of humility, said goodbye to Linda, and stepped aside to make way for others.Of course, at this time, in the minds of everyone, his status as a young man has risen a lot.

Li Junhao and Linda carried the plates to the dining area. Naturally, he had no scruples. The world is not as big as eating. Apart from other things, the most important thing is to eat first.Linda was a little reserved at first, but driven by Li Junhao's good appetite, she put all kinds of delicious food on the plate and started chewing without worry!This feeling was completely different from her previous behavior at the banquet, but it was both fresh and exciting and made her appetite feel good, making her giggle with joy.

Some young staff in the embassy were envious when they saw the two of them like this. They hesitated for a moment, and when they saw that no one was paying attention to them, they slowly came over and started to join the team of foodies... Young people are always willing to make friends. , it didn’t take long for everyone to get into a good mood and start laughing!

When other older diplomats and businessmen saw them like this, they all laughed and sighed in their hearts: It's great to be young! ——
The cocktail party didn't last long. The senior diplomats and businessmen were all too young to stay up late. It ended a little after nine o'clock, and everyone began to leave gradually.

Linda insisted on chatting with Li Junhao in the room, so she took two bottles of red wine from the dining table. Her sneaky gesture made Li Junhao laugh - he had seen it earlier, as had the surrounding waiters and many colleagues in the embassy. It's here, but of course no one will come out to spoil the scenery at this time. They are all laughing secretly, and no one will tell anyone!

After returning to the room, Linda took Li Junhao to drink, but she was unsatisfied and couldn't bear it after a few glasses of red wine. He had to carry her back to the room and let the Marines on duty in the corridor steal the wine. Laughing endlessly!

When walking back to his room, Li Junhao pushed Yuri, who was standing in front of their door, back to rest, and then went back to the room and turned off the lights.However, of course he did not sleep. Instead, he lay in bed and quietly began to sort out some of the conversations he heard tonight. With the detection function of the smart glasses, he easily heard the members of the delegation at the reception. Conversations with embassy staff, but because there was too much information, he could only rely on smart glasses to store the information first, and then he had time to extract and summarize it.

After sorting it out carefully at this time, Li Junhao basically determined a few points:
First, many people in the delegation came with special missions. These people were headed by Lester Rockefeller. They were responsible for negotiating military assistance with the Nationalist government. Nelson Johnson, the ambassador to China, was only responsible for providing official Support and logistics, not directly involved in negotiations.Second, representatives of several airlines headed by Douglas were tasked with selling fighter jets to the Chinese Air Force. When they were at the airport, they had already informed the government officials who came to greet them.

Third, other companies and businessmen should purchase more strategic materials such as tungsten sand, tung oil, and bristle from the National Government, and at the same time export more weapons and equipment, transportation vehicles, various fuels and machinery, electronics, and chemical products to expand market share. .

The fourth point is somewhat interesting. There are actually several intelligence personnel sent by the United States hidden in the delegation. They have been in private contact with the embassy attaché and other staff to convey some domestic work instructions, including several very important things. Important special work... This interests Li Junhao very much.

The fifth point is even more important. Several financial representatives, led by Citibank, want to negotiate with the Central Bank of the Nationalist Government about the printing and issuance of legal currency, and there is even a more secret plan involved...

The amount of information in these things was quite large. Li Junhao digested it carefully for a long time and had a deeper understanding of the situation between the United States and China in this era. It also gave him a preliminary understanding of what the game between countries is!

At ten o'clock in the morning on Saturday, April 4, many vehicles were ready in the parking lot of the Bazhou Hotel. Members of the business delegation began to board the vehicles in an orderly manner and drove to the southeast of the Yuzhong Peninsula under the escort of military police vehicles. Dongshuimen at the end of the year to attend a reception hosted by the National Government.

Originally, Li Junhao did not plan to attend this cocktail party - he did not want to meet the state officials at this time!But Riester asked Linda to tell him that he had to go to today's reception. You have to think about the reason yourself!
When the convoy arrived at the Huguang Guild Hall in Dongshuimen, the entire hall was already under martial law.

The reception was held at the Jiangnan Guild Hall. Kong Xiangxi, Song Ziwen, and Chen Lifu led a group of officials to greet them at the door. Today's banquet is very important. They have instructions from the president. Today's reception is the culmination of a series of negotiations that will follow. As a prelude, many things must be communicated in advance. It can even be said that some things can only succeed but not fail, because the current National Government cannot bear the result of failed negotiations.

As usual, Li Junhao took a car with Linda. Brown, who was the driver, Yuri, who was the co-driver, and two black bodyguards, were led to another place in front of the door - the level of the reception was too high, and they did not participate. Qualifications.

When he entered, a waitress greeted Linda and invited Linda to the other side, but she refused, claiming that she wanted to be with Li Junhao, which made her lose her temper.

Li Junhao didn't care. What he was concerned about now was why did Lister let him come to the reception?
