"General."
In the mountain city, the residence of the American military, a staff officer walked into Weidemeyer's office:
"Your plan to support Yamashiro was rejected by the president and Congress."
"The idiots of Congress."
Weidemeyer was furious, slapping the table and glaring.
Seeing that the mountain town was gradually declining, the peasants were gradually gaining strength, and the Republic of China was gradually becoming the color he hated the most, Weidemeyer, who was anxious, applied to the Congress for more aid to the preserved fruit.
Aid packages.
This includes reviving the economy, developing the basic military industry, talent, and even direct military assistance.
As for the reason for the assistance, it is easy to find that the United States is doing its best to deal with the situation in Europe, but as an ally on the same front, considering the situation in East Asia, it has stepped up its assistance to counter Japan.
Of course, the United States is not wronged.
The plan to revive the economy and make money certainly needs to be done by the banks of the United States, to avoid corruption, to develop the military industry, and to cooperate with American factories to run factories, and military aid also needs to be supervised by the American military attaché.
"Even the president."
After a pause, he said in a puzzled tone.
In his mind, Mr. Franklin, the president, was different from the idiots in Congress, with a long-term vision, a deep strategic vision, and a vision of the future.
His kingdom is growing in power at an incredible rate, and it is already a great threat to American interests.
Although the Pacific Ocean is large, it cannot accommodate two world powers.
Just like Little Japan and the United States at this time.
Once the country under his feet develops, with its huge territory and population, and all that technological equipment, it is definitely many times more powerful than little Japan, and in a dozen years the United States will face a very tricky opponent.
If we don't take advantage of the limitations and weakening now, it will be too late in the future.
"Mr. President told you."
The staff officer continued:
"The United States needs them, and the Allies need their medicines and technology, so they have to think about their attitude."
Weidemeyer was stunned.
America needs them, they can't be preserved fruits here, this group of people is crippled, and they beat themselves to cripple, then they can only be that group of farmers.
"Need them..."
He muttered to himself, in a complicated tone.
How long has it been?
It's been less than two years.
In such a short period of time, this group of people went from being nameless, being chased by tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and suffering heavy losses, and they all need to consider the attitude of the other party when they develop to the United States.
What do you have to do in a few years for them?
However, there is nothing he can do about it, he is only a major general, and he has just been promoted, a military attache who has lost the local powers, and there is basically no strength and power under his hands.
With his lieutenant in hand, Weidemeyer decided to go out for a walk.
Walking out of the mansion, ignoring the salute of the guards at the door, and down the steps, Weidemeyer walked all the way to the city.
"It's changed a lot."
Looking at the mountain city in front of him, Weidemeyer was very surprised.
He has been working in the mansion, thinking about how to gather intelligence materials in order to plan and persuade the Diet and the president to support Yamashiro, for which he often consults with the high-level officials of the fruit candied and rarely goes out on the streets.
Even if you pass by occasionally, you are immersed in the affluence of America in the car the whole time, and you don't look out at all.
Naturally, little attention is paid to the situation on the streets.
So he was very surprised by how much the streets of the mountain city had changed in front of him.
On the streets, people come and go, laughing and laughing. Horse-drawn carriages full of goods are intertwined and shuttled, flowing water, and beside the streets, large and small stalls are lined up one after another, like a prosperous scene in the market.
From time to time, trucks, cars, tractors, and jeeps can be seen passing by.
Although the urbanization is far from even the smaller cities of the United States, especially the streets and public facilities, it is visible to the naked eye that this mountain town has begun to develop.
A year ago, the mountain town was lifeless, and people were like frightened birds, and it was difficult to see smiles on people's faces.
At this time, more than a dozen walk-behind tractors were belching black smoke from their fronts, dragging bodies full of bulging sacks across the street, looking out and seeing more in the distant streets.
"It seems that the situation is even more serious than I thought."
Seeing these tractors, Weidemeyer's pupils shrank.
This tractor he knows, and even studied, is a kind of tractor produced by the gang themselves, the technology is not advanced, but it is very versatile, can plough the land, can pull goods, and can also pump water.
Ideal for mountainous rural areas.
He also deliberately asked Donovan to send someone to investigate the intelligence of this tractor.
From this, we know that the production capacity of this tractor is very strong, in October it can achieve about 50 units per day, although it is not much, but including the engine, bearings, tires, all parts are produced by themselves, and the quality is very good, and the machine failure rate is extremely low.
It seems to have a set of foundation for the machinery industry.
This is one of the reasons why he is in a hurry to push forward with the aid program.
In all countries, the tank industry began to develop from tractor factories. And to establish an industrial foundation so quickly, give them another year or two to solve the talent problem, and the production capacity will skyrocket.
Now it seems that his estimate is too conservative, only in the past month or so, the output has increased significantly, and this kind of tractor can be seen in this mountain city, which is the best proof.
Although the mountain city is the center of preserved fruits, the development speed is really far less than that of the group of people.
"They recruited technical people from abroad."
The staff officer on the side added.
"Why don't these idiots lock it down."
Weidemeyer scolded again.
Knowing that the other party lacks the most talents, he actually did not blockade it and allowed domestic talents to flow to the other party, which really made Wei Demai angry.
If it were him, he would not let their talents return to China at all, and would also wantonly intercept talents from other countries.
The coastal areas are occupied by small Japan, there is no passage, and talents can only take the Yunnan-Burma Highway, or the Northern Highway, which are not in their own hands, and a little blockade and buckle can reduce the inflow of talents.
The United States and the mountains are beautiful, and I believe that everyone will choose the former.
"General."
The staff officer was well aware of his superior's thoughts, so he added:
"The other side is an ally, we have the technology and medicine of the other side, and the other side has sufficient funds, there are many technicians from other countries who are willing to come here to pan for gold, and they also have special air channels to transfer talents."
"The blockade is very difficult."
Weidemeyer was silent for a moment.
Steelmaking technology deals, the price of 250 million US dollars, if it is used only to recruit talents, the top professor level may not work, which requires an excellent environment, but basic engineers, senior technicians, tens of thousands of people are easy.
In the midst of a world war, there is no shortage of people fleeing everywhere.
"You go and prepare, I'm going back to China."
Weidemeyer decided to personally persuade Mr. President.
Others can't see it clearly abroad, but in this mountain city, in this Republic of China, he has witnessed the rise of that group of people from scratch, and he knows better than everyone that this group of people is terrible.
This is an opponent even more formidable than a mustache.
Terrible much.
······
Weidemeyer can see it, and the local people in the mountain town can naturally see it.
And compared with the powerful and rich United States, the huge gap and the diametrically opposite speed of development make them even more desperate. But no matter how desperate you are, you won't give up resisting.
Mountain city.
Director Dai's office.
"Hey..."
Returning from the conference room, the big guy took a deep breath.
At this time, Director Dai's tone was sad.
He's a little nostalgic for the little devil.
In comparison, it's still a little devil who is easy to deal with, and it's much easier to deal with.
At that time, he was able to produce many people under his hands, and he was full of enthusiasm, although there were many shortcomings, but countless people were engaged in the battle with enthusiasm, and would rather die than give in, with their efforts, one by one the devil spies were caught, and one by one the devil conspiracy was foiled.
At that time, he felt that he was on the side of justice.
But now.
There are fewer and fewer people under him, especially those who are enthusiastic and willing to work seriously for the Republic of China, they all left one by one, and when they went there, they couldn't keep the soft and hard.
He called in a confidant, a college student who had studied abroad and had gained his trust.
"You go to their Ping'an County to actually inspect it."
Director Dai gave his henchman a few gold bars:
"Find a way to develop what they call a master."
There is no one who can't be bought, it's just that the price is not enough, Director Dai has always thought so.

Zhao Jiayu.
Zhao Gang's office.
"Political commissar, this is the latest statistics that the master asked me to give you, including industrial data and economic data."
An office worker handed over a stack of materials to Zhao Gang.
Now that the base areas are on the right track, the various management systems are also tending to be modernized, and after receiving Uncle Sam's $250 million blood package, the economic department has also become independent from the construction brigade.
Because of the lack of experienced person in charge, after all, no one has experience in such a big stall, so Zhao Gang is temporarily in charge, for which he specially applied for the assistance of more than a dozen masters.
Zhao Gang took the data and looked.
"Eight hundred tractors per day?"
The data on the first page made Political Commissar Zhao's eyes light up.
Referring to the walk-behind tractor in the eighties, single-cylinder diesel engine, walk-behind direction column, able to plough the land, can pump water, can pull goods, coupled with the leather durable, simple maintenance, strong passability, and sufficient and cheap diesel, this kind of tractor is very popular with the people.
Basically, you sell as much as you produce.
Even because of the good quality, there are people abroad who are jealous.
In the past, because the production capacity has not been able to meet the demand of the base, now the daily output of 700 vehicles, has basically met the demand, after providing to the farms for their own use, some can also be sold to other places.
Seven hundred per day.
Even if the production capacity is not increased, it will be nearly 300,000 vehicles a year, which is quite a huge number.
However, this figure is the product of the full strength of the entire base area, which can be described as the strength of the whole country, and a super-large factory of the Ford Motor Plant in the United States has the same production capacity, and the gap is obvious.
"Drug revenues are $1.5 billion."
The second page made Political Commissar Zhao close his mouth.
Why was it possible to increase the tractor from less than 50 per day to 800 per day in such a short period of time? In addition to the mature technology and proper management of the master, it all depends on those technical talents from abroad.
And recruiting talent, it's really expensive.
In particular, the attractiveness of the base area is low, and many technicians would rather go to the United States, but he can only open a high price, and the Americans who earned 250 million US dollars before will not last long.
Now with this $150 million a month from selling medicines, we can unleash our hands and feet to recruit qualified personnel and vigorously develop base areas.
