Chapter 705 U.S. Aid is not to be missed

"You're welcome, the Americans have a thick background! Now that he has spoken, he has to double the number. No matter how much supplies there are, the Americans will pinch their noses and give them! They have no choice! Meng Xiang directly returned the list drawn up by the General Staff to request aid from the United States, and directly pointed out.

"The US Pacific Fleet was paralyzed, and the capital ships in reserve were either blocked in the Atlantic Ocean or were still on the slipway. The 1.5 million regular troops that had just been gathered in the country lacked training, and the comfortable young soldiers were not yet able to adapt to the brutal war. Both the navy and the army lack time to reorganize their armies, and now they are looking for cannon fodder all over the world. Meng Xiang continued,

"Since the Americans are looking for mercenaries, they have to accept the high price of hired lives. Our Chinese people are not elsewhere, and now every name is precious! ”

Next to him, Yu Dawei smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.

A group of experts who were familiar with the United States drew up a list of bargaining with the United States, which surprised him when he saw it, but in Meng Xiang's mouth, he was still very dissatisfied. He naturally didn't know the generosity of Americans in another time and space, but he also felt that Meng Xiang's analysis made some sense.

"There are also items on these lists that need to be adjusted appropriately. We don't lack weapons, ammunition, and medicine, and even if we have equipment for the Air Force and Navy, we have other cheaper ways to do so, and we don't need American goods. Meng Xiang was really dissatisfied, and he didn't look at the military material aid proposed by the Americans at all. With the base in hand, you can choose all kinds of classic weapons of World War II, and even post-war weapons and super weapons in the red "color" alert, why need more politically sensitive American goods?

"The key thing is that we still choose a few things. First of all, choose some industrial technologies, or focus on petrochemical, metal smelting and other aspects! "Meng Xiang focuses on the advantageous industries of the United States.

With the help of the "chaos" and "chaos" in the past few years, absorbing nutrients from industrial countries all over the world, Huaxia has imported a large number of technologies and machines from Germany, Britain, France, the United States, and even Soviet Russia and other small European countries, and the industrial system has completed the initial foundation. The rest of the time is mainly used for digestion and absorption to build China's own unique industrial civilization.

In recent years, although Huaxia industry has undergone earth-shaking development and changes, the products of the initially built industrial system have slowly reduced the scale of imports, and began to make cheap and high-quality domestic goods from all walks of life replace foreign goods as the mainstream of the market.

Those low-tech industrial systems have a lot of related technologies and machines in Europe, and they can already expand their own production in China. In order to stimulate the development of domestic production and scientific and technological forces, these are naturally self-solving and perfecting. In the follow-up adjustment plan of Huaxia's first five-year plan, many of the machines in the newly added factories have been labeled with the nameplate of "Made in Huaxia".

In this way, the focus of imported machinery and technology is to seek high-level technology and equipment.

Unconsciously, Meng Xiang's conditions require a high vision. When he thought about the industrial superiority of the United States, he found that the industrial technology level of the Americans was not too high in many aspects in this era.

When it comes to the United States in World War II, the deepest impression should be its massive industrial manufacturing capacity and the most balanced and complete comprehensive industrial system, but in this era, the center of science and technology is in Europe. It was only after World War II and a large number of technology and talents from Europe that American science and technology broke out on a super-scale scale and overwhelmed the whole of Europe.

Previously, even the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, and even the Soviet Union and Russia had some good scientific and technological fields, not to mention Germany and the United Kingdom created many firsts in the history of science and technology. Some of the myths of World War II weapons in Germany were created by standing on the shoulders of the ultra-high-tech level of the whole of Europe, standing at the pinnacle of science and technology in the world.

Although the Americans directly submerged the Germans, who had never unified the European industrial system, with an industrial scale comparable to that of the whole of Europe, when Meng Xiang chose the industrial cornerstone, he mainly chose the German standard of "trade", which was more cost-effective, supplemented by other European technologies such as the United Kingdom, and the focus of absorbing American nutrition was only concentrated in petrochemical industry and large-scale metallurgical manufacturing.

Of course, the Americans also have the best technology in the world in some aspects, but it is absolutely impossible to be on the aid list. This is one reason why Meng Xiang is interested in U.S. aid technology in general.

"Note that what we need is not only technology, but also their relatively reasonable management system, and their industrial management is still very scientific, regardless of those over-exploitation regulations." Meng Xiang admonished again. In terms of industrial management and economic management, the Americans are at the forefront of the world. However, these are important, but they are all additions and are no longer on the list of aid.

"What we need most is the real stuff, and in addition to some of the machines that we produce trouble, the industrial raw materials are the focus of our request. The number of scrap rails here is several times more. We still need to build a few more railways, and the domestic rail production capacity cannot keep up! "The development of automobiles in the United States led to the depression of railroads, and a large number of railroad tracks were demolished. Previously, China imported a large number of them, but with the "fierce" European war, steel as a strategic material has been more strictly restricted. The Americans could not help but ban sales to Japan, and they were equally reluctant to sell to China. Such an opportunity is a big deal.

"Scrap steel can be used directly in electric furnaces. However, now that the power consumption of the base has increased, it is better to limit this one! Meng Xiang continued to ponder.

"Rubber? This one doesn't need to. The Chinese rubber plantations and shadow companies in Nanyang have enough rubber production. The base can be directly replenished with consumables such as tires. ”

"Colored metals? This is not needed, the production output of foreign sub-bases is sufficient. Lao Mei doesn't have much surplus food over there, and the price is not cheap, so it's not cost-effective. Meng Xiang crossed out another one, "If you have a base, you don't have to think about military supplies." The domestic mines that have been built to meet the needs of civil use. ”

"As for light industrial products such as quilts and canned food, our Chinese manufacturing has been exported to Europe, squeezing out a lot of American goods, and they still want to use these as military aid? Laugh at! "The catalogue of products offered by the Americans was also crossed out.

"Wine, coffee, and tobacco can still be listed? Do these luxury goods still need to be imported in the name of the state? Who handled these, check it out! Meng Xiang swept over this and couldn't help but snort coldly, "It's not enough to have so many famous wines and tobaccos made in China?" If anyone wants to taste foreign goods again, go directly to Europe and Africa to help! In the next step, our aid team is ready to expand. ”

"'Medicine'? We can be self-sufficient, and another 50 "pharmaceutical" factories will be built this year, which can directly stabilize the demand for "pharmaceutical" products from the private sector and smoothly promote the implementation of medical security policies. As for munitions, there is still a surplus in the base building. Even orders for penicillin from the Americans have been sent to us, where is the need to import them? ”

"Vehicles? There is no need either, the supply of military products at the base is sufficient! Automobile factories in Shandong, Shaanxi, Wuhan, Shanghai, and Tianjin can also solve some civilian problems. They knew that we had a lot of planes, so they directly canceled the transport plane. ”

"Grain? This can be had. In the next two or three years, it is necessary to prepare for domestic disasters and the international demand for grain will be stronger, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to stock up on more cheap grain from the Americans. Now Americans have less food and more food, and later, hehe, it will be difficult to say. Meng Xiang has already made up his mind that although there is a bumper harvest of grain in China this year, but during the war, grain is hard currency, and there is not too much at all.

In the future, the smoke of the world war will be more extensive, and the food will only become more and more scarce, and even the Americans, who were extremely rich in goods in their previous lives, can hardly say whether they will be so extravagant as young master soldiers in the future.

"Oil, this one needs some, too. Although it can be shipped directly from the Middle East sub-base, it still needs some cover-up on the surface. In addition to those British and American shadow companies, it is necessary to reassure suspicious Americans. ”

……

"Now we're going to war with Japan?" Fan Chong on the side looked at Meng Xiang seriously sketching the entries of US aid materials one by one, and couldn't help but ask.

Although he didn't know what Meng Xiang was behind it, he knew some of Meng Xiang's plans against Japan and the United States. The war between Japan and the United States means that China can be a fisherman in Southeast Asia. And the war has just begun, and China is going to "intervene", which obviously does not meet the needs of huge profits.

"War with the Japanese? Aren't we fighting them now? Meng Xiang was stunned.

"Our current operational focus is still on the side of Soviet Russia in the north, and we still maintain a moderate confrontation with Japan?" Fan Chong reminded.

"That's right! This kind of moderate confrontation will continue! Seeing Fan Chong's vigorous gaze at the US aid directory in his hand, Meng Xiang naturally knew his worries, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "But the opportunity to knock on the Americans' bamboo poles should not be missed." As long as we carve out a million recruit eggs, it will be enough to make the Americans bleed. One billion and eight billion dollars is not too little. ”

The corners of Fan's mouth arc down rapidly.

"At the beginning, we just made a small fuss, and to maintain friction will not affect the overall situation of the Japanese and Americans fighting. We're still waiting for the little devils to charge ahead, and create more opportunities for us! Meng Xiang smiled again.

He raised his eyes and swept the globe on the corner of the table, and couldn't help sneering in his heart: "I hope the little devil will create another miracle this time, and solve the troubles of Australia and India together!" ”
