"Do you have better guns?" The young captain asked in surprise.

"Nope!" Meng Xiang said categorically.

Looking at William's exaggerated expression of disappointment, Meng Xiang naturally spread his hands to him regretfully, but said with a smile in his heart: "You think I'm so stupid!" Out of mp40, there is something else, isn't it your own smashing your own business? Other firearms also have to be considered with Soviet Russia, and of course doing business is to sell three companies in order to make a fortune. ”

He looked at a few Germans with regret on his face, but his mind ran to the Americans.

"O Americans! It's really embarrassing! ”

Meng Xiang, who had tasted the sweetness of the Germans, began to contact the Americans in February.

The war in China has made the United States feel a great threat.

The Naval Armaments Treaty had expired in 1936, and it was said that the treaty had long been set aside and the Navy had been vigorously developed. For this reason, the United States, which is deeply aware of this threat, and at the same time, in order to get rid of the domestic economic crisis, also began to develop new ships and start the military industrial machinery at an early stage.

At this time, the United States had already begun to discuss the second round of the Naval Expansion Act.

In order to catch this bus, Meng Xiang also did some research.

Trading battleships would not be very appropriate. The battleship at the pinnacle of technology is too conspicuous, Meng Xiang is not too much to throw out a battleship of World War I, if there is a more advanced one, then others should be especially wary of the huge power comparable to the country behind him.

The aircraft carrier is also conspicuous, although Meng Xiang wants to sell the Essex-class aircraft carrier to the Americans, but he does not have so much money on hand. Even the cost of half price is enough to empty all of Meng Xiang's coins. Anyway, the Americans are not very urgent, so they can only arrange a little later. Besides, the new aircraft carrier may not necessarily be selected, and it will take a lot of risks. No more than the Bavaria-class battleships have already become famous, easy to sell.

The U.S. military industrial system is very sound, and there is no threat of war for the time being, so it is not easy to sell arms to the Americans.

In order to choose a trading partner, Meng Xiang also had a headache for a long time. In the end, the LCVP landing ship was cautiously launched first. He originally wanted to launch it directly, but later learned through the U.S. intelligence team that Higgins' Eureka Company had received funding from the military to develop a landing ship. Meng Xiang's shadow company in the United States has only begun to operate, but its roots are too shallow, which is much worse than the forces behind Higgins.

As a last resort, Meng Xiang still chose to cooperate, and a Chinese company directly found Higgins. With regard to these less sophisticated weapons, it is not so suspicious. Meng Xiang can play the brand of the Chinese Pioneer Army, and he can also constantly change the impression of foreigners on China, so as not to rise too abruptly in the future.

"We don't need to cooperate! We've got the best landing ship! After a lot of effort to meet Higgins, Higgins directly refused. There is really no big technical difficulty in studying this type of landing ship, the key is the way of thinking. Higgins' company soon produced samples.

"But we've heard that the Navy has rejected your plan!" After becoming the captain and staff officer of the Vanguard Army, Yang Bo said with a very relaxed expression on his face.

He didn't want to stay in the U.S. to conduct intelligence operations, but he also understood the importance of intelligence. I can only hope that someone can replace him and hurry back to Huaxia. With the intelligence analysis he obtained, as the Battle of Xuzhou continued, the vanguard army would definitely make a big move. Hurry back as soon as possible, and you will be able to show what you can.

"The Marines have fallen in love with our work!" Higgins said calmly. Although I was surprised when I saw some of the surnames and data of the Alligator-class landing ship. But he still didn't believe that a Chinese company could have much ability to open up the relationship with the navy.

"Oh well! Phil is waiting for our return visit! Good bye! Yang Bo ended the conversation neatly, stood up directly, and was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute!" Higgins spread his hands a little helplessly, "Well, your proposal has made me a little moved. We can go on and on! ”

Because of the blockade of the devils, the LCVP landing ship was not easy to transport out, and in the end, it was only by filling a boatload of grain that the disguised LCVP landing ship passed the inspection of the devil patrol by relying on the smuggling of foreign transportation with the acquiescence of Yuben. After passing the test of ocean crossing, such a surname can be what Higgins is excited and feared. If you really catch the line of the Navy through Phil Company, I am afraid that my Eureka will be in vain.

"Okay!" Yang Bo sat down again with an indifferent expression.

As for direct export, Meng Xiang didn't have much expectations at first. The political situation of the United States has determined that he is far less enthusiastic about foreign products than domestic products, so Meng Xiang's focus in the future is to develop shadow companies.

In addition, since China is not yet a member of the patent organization, it is more convenient to produce some products directly in other countries, given the huge profits from patents. In this case, only a spy who is a national of that country is required is sufficient.

While spies can change into other people's forms, low-level clone spies are a bit dull and suspicious.

Low-level spy secrets can't be done yet, but some simple things are still fine, especially when it comes to identity. Given that the status of people of color is still awkward at this time, the role of a white identity spy is sometimes a cheat. At least the companies they start enjoy national treatment.

As a result, more than a dozen shadow companies have been established around the world. The recently trained spies have all dispersed, but due to the limitations of the spy level, most of the people they replace are low-level people in society, their roots are too shallow, and it takes a process to develop and grow, and when time is pressing, they can only choose to cooperate with others.

"We're the McBus Aircraft Company, and this is the most advanced military transport aircraft we've designed, and because we originally applied the standards of your DC-3 airliner, I thought we could talk about cooperation on that basis." Room 47 went directly to Douglas & Co.

This time, Room 47 did not encounter indifference. The prototype they provided to the military has already made the United States [***] very interested, but it still lacks strength. Douglas worked with them so they could quickly take the initiative. After all, the United States is not one or two aircraft companies, and Boeing is also eyeing it. And many of the parts on this aircraft are made of DC-3 passenger parts, and only a few changes to the production line are needed, and new profit points are generated.

"We just need to take a cut of each plane." Room 47 calmly said the plan to divide according to the number of aircraft produced and sold according to Meng Xiang's instructions. It turned out that the production of more than 10,000 C-47s in history could make Meng Xiang count the money and count the cramps in his hands.

"Happy working together! Let's toast to the bright future of McDonnell Douglas One! "Donald? Wales? Douglas smiled and raised champagne to Room 47.

"Americans don't fight, arms are not easy to sell!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but sigh when he saw that after being busy for a while, he didn't get much money. Both of these are very lucrative collaborations, and it will take a long time to see the gold coins fall into your pocket.

Recently, from the opening of sub-bases to upgrades, as well as a round of people's livelihood construction on the site, Meng Xiang's pockets have been deflated again.

At this time, the battle in the south of Lianghuai became more and more intense.

Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army urgently assisted along the Huai River, and together with the 31st, 51st, and 48th Armies, he drove himself across the Huai River. However, he said that he had more and more reinforcements, and even if he was supported by some ammunition from the vanguard army, he was afraid that the situation there would not be able to support him for half a month.

The free aid of the Vanguard Army is too much to bear. This made Meng Xiang's money pocket even more tight. There is not enough money, and in the battle of Xuzhou, I am afraid that I will not be able to sing too long a play. At this time, the Fifth Division had also moved south and captured the Yuezhao area. The 10th Division also began to move southward, and began to advance in the direction of Qufu.

Time is running out, in order to complete the accumulation faster, almost as soon as the two shipyards of the Nanyang sub-base are completed, Meng Xiang gritted his teeth and built a new shipyard.

As soon as the new factory was built, Meng Xiang began to think about the objects to be built.

"Having produced destroyers, will the Americans want them?" Meng Xiang was just thinking about it at this time, a more advanced Benson-class destroyer could not be produced without 4 million oceans.

Maybe as soon as it changes hands, at least 10 million can be credited to the account, but the risk is too great. In case Lao Mei does not accept weapons from other forces, and has to produce them by itself, and the shadow companies produce their own and cannot explain so many sources of funds, it may be troublesome at that time.

Meng Xiang looked at the Germans in front of him and couldn't help but have a thought.

"Everyone is an old friend, and we need more sincerity between us!" Meng Xiang smiled and leaned in front of Karn. After looking at him carefully, he said, "We still have two Englishman's Scott destroyers, brand new ones, do you need them?" ”

"Scott the Destroyer?" Karn looked down and frowned.

"Yes! As long as the quality is okay, we want it! Instead, William said directly.

"The quality is absolutely guaranteed! 10 million marks a piece. Cash transactions, no credit! Meng Xiang looked back at William with a smile.

"And what about your ship?"

"See the goods in a week! We will tell you about the location in three days! ”

"Good!"
