Chapter 163 Today is a good day
Stilwell returned to Beijing in despair and reported truthfully in front of the American minister. 8 9 Read w9. mThis guy didn't add any fuel to the fire. Even if he did, it wouldn't do anything. The overall situation of the US government now requires a
A chess piece to contain Japan's move south. Not to mention that this chess piece has a huge market space.
U.S. Minister Ryans could only do everything possible to seek a meeting with Marshal Fang. Cooperation between China and Germany must be effectively curbed. In early June, Ryans received a call from the United States stating that China had ordered six cruisers (double-height cruisers).
Si Qing), can be delivered in advance. Please tell Mr. Fang Jianxiong if Ryans can take this opportunity to announce the "China-US Friendly Cooperation Agreement".
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ryans finally got the information about Fang Jianxiong's exact location. At this moment, Marshal Fang was in Nanjing, attending the opening ceremony of Nanjing University of Science and Technology. This is the second true science and technology university in China, and the first
It is Wuhan University of Technology. Fang Jianxiong wishes that every province had a university of science and technology. The problem is where the teachers will come from. The two universities of science and technology have put all the talents at hand into it. Only at this time can you feel how powerful this country is.
There is a lack of engineering talent.
"Why are the great powers strong? Because of industrialization! The country needs a large number of scientific and engineering talents, which is the cornerstone of the country's industry! Dear students, I want to talk more about the truth here, but I just want to ask you to study hard. You have more than just shoulders on your shoulders.
It is a personal future, as well as the burden of national rejuvenation!" Marshal Fang's speech at the opening ceremony was unusually short. After finishing speaking, he bowed to more than 3,000 students! "Gentlemen! Please!"
The famous Marshal Fang was so sensational in front of thousands of pairs of eyes! All the students in the audience were affected. The motivators stood up, clenched their fists and raised their hands, shouting: "Study hard and shoulder the burden of national rejuvenation!"
The enthusiastic young people shouted excitedly in unison, and many of them had tears in their eyes. I guess Marshal Fang will tell them now that you are all Ultraman, and they will all believe it. This era is the worst era in China, and this era is
China's best era. The country is poor and weak, and the society is in turmoil! However, in this era, every aspiring young man has a dream of a strong country in his heart, and is willing to dedicate his youth and blood to the country.
"Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will have no fear of traveling all over the world!" This sentence has been applicable for a long time, which shows how poor the foundation of China's science and engineering talents is.
Ryans and Stilwell got their wish and saw Fang Jianxiong at the door of the auditorium.
"Marshal Your Excellency, first of all I want to tell you the good news that the six cruisers manufactured by Bethlehem Company can be delivered ahead of schedule. Bethlehem Company suggests that it is best to take the opportunity of delivery to announce the "China-US Friendly Cooperation Agreement", so as to
It can reduce a lot of trouble for both sides!" Ryans tried to speak in a reserved tone. The young man in front of him was not easy to fool. There is an alliance between Britain and Japan. The United States builds warships for China, which will naturally lead to a backlash from Japan.
Cruisers are not battleships, and even heavy cruisers are not that sensitive. It is really not a big deal for the United States to build a few cruisers. But if this cruiser is built for China, it is not a trivial matter. Therefore, this pressure must be shouldered together! Only
Only when China and the United States reach an agreement on friendly cooperation will the British-Japanese alliance be wary.
Fang Jianxiong pondered for a moment and said: "I have read the almanac and June 28th is a good day. Let's choose that day for delivery. At that time, both China and the United States will announce the news at the same time and the two countries will reach a friendly cooperation agreement."
Ryan was overjoyed. The young man finally let go. Today is June 10th, and there are still 18 days until the cooperation between China and the United States will be officially announced to the public. At that time, China will unconditionally treat the United States in accordance with the contract.
Opening most markets. Ryans could even hear the cheers of American businessmen in his ears.
"Great, your decision is so wise! Under your leadership, the Chinese government will definitely prosper!" It's not easy for Ryans to flatter Chinese. It shows that he has been prepared!
June 28, 2014, was indeed a good day. Just how good it was, Fang Jianxiong knew best. Of course, it is still some time before this day, and the officers and soldiers of the Second Fleet who have been training in the United States for a period of time can board the battleship.
The conversation between Fang Jianxiong and Ryans was friendly and pleasant. The two sides reached an agreement that the United States can deliver the warship now. A grand ceremony will be held on the 28th to announce the cooperation agreement between China and the United States.
After an hour of meeting, Ryans couldn't wait to send a telegram to inform the country, but he didn't see Stilwell's eyes several times. Finally, Stilwell couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency, Marshal, before leaving.
On this occasion, I ask you to allow me to live in your artillery unit for a period of time."
Fang Jianxiong gave him a meaningful look but didn't answer immediately. Stilwell hadn't yet developed his shamelessness, and when he felt slightly hot, Fang Jianxiong said, "Don't bother me. I'll give you what you need on the 28th."
"Thank you, Marshal!" Stilwell did not expect Marshal Fang to be so easy to talk to. Fang Jianxiong, who pretended to be a good guy, continued to pretend: "The friendship between China and the United States has the highest status in my mind! What do you want in the future?
Just say it!"
After saying a word, Marshal Fang drifted away, leaving Stilwell a little ashamed to stand there. However, the thick-skinned American quickly returned to his normal state and excitedly followed Ryans into the car and rushed to Nanjing to the United States.
Went to the consulate.
It was a nice day in San Francisco on June 28. A high platform was erected on the pier. The official delivery ceremony of two heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy was about to be held here. I don’t know where I got the news. A large number of Chinese people gathered on the pier.
, take a look at the new cutting-edge warships of the Republic of China.
Two heavy cruisers have been painted with Chinese characters, one is Yellow River and the other is Taishan. There are also four light cruisers, namely Beijing, Nanjing, Wuhu, and Wuhan. These six warships were delivered
The date is still different: the light cruiser has been delivered for almost two months, and the two heavy cruisers have only been delivered for more than ten days. They will be announced together today!
Without World War I, the United States would still be a debtor country. Although its industry was developed, its national strength was not strong. It is precisely for this reason that the U.S. government worked so hard to hook up with China. It strategically restricted the Japanese navy and gained markets economically.
China and the United States agreed that at ten o'clock in the morning on this day, they would simultaneously announce in Washington and Beijing that the two sides had signed the "China-U.S. Friendly Cooperation Agreement."
The delivery ceremony was in full swing, and the scene was very lively. The Americans obviously valued this very much. There seemed to be a lot of big shots on the stage. Lu Bicheng stood on a high platform with no interruptions and a good view, holding a telescope in his hand to watch the delivery.
During the ceremony, there were two burly men behind him! These two were bodyguards, wearing sunglasses and standing with hands behind their backs. It is said that these two people were former junior officers in the U.S. Army, and the bodyguards were hired by the American banker Fisher.
Standing next to Lu Bicheng is Alice, a girl in a long skirt. In seven years, this girl has turned into a big girl. Now she is studying at Columbia University and is also Lu Bicheng's assistant in the United States. This assistant position was requested by Alice.
of.
After Lu Bicheng came to the United States, she originally planned to study at Columbia University. Unexpectedly, Fang Jianxiong asked her to first set up a container company after arriving in the United States, and then asked her to set up a food factory to produce various cans and some kind of instant coffee. God knows this guy.
Where did all these ideas come from in my mind? After the container company’s business started
It became extremely popular after that. Partner John is Fisher's brother-in-law, and now he is basically in charge of everything in the stall. Lu Bicheng only needs to check the accounts regularly. The food factory also has a shareholder named Hoover, who usually doesn't see anyone and divides the money.
There is no shortage of time. Lu Bicheng's position is that of an official, taking care of these industries in the United States.
The business of the food factory is also very good. The canned food is mainly sold domestically. In the past month, Fang Jianxiong asked her to expand production and stock up on canned food. The instant coffee market is still operating, and John has been entrusted to hire an American team to operate it. All in all, it has been more than a year since she came to the United States.
, Lu Bicheng’s understanding of the little man on the other side of the ocean not only did not deepen, but more unknowns were added. For example, I just learned yesterday that he still has shares in Mobil Oil, and these shares can bring tens of millions of dollars every year
profit.
Alice accidentally let this slip! How much property does this guy have locally? Let these mysteries wait for the future.
China and the United States issued a joint communiqué. This was a big event, and the whole world should have been shocked by it! However, this matter did not cause too many waves, because something bigger happened.
Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, heirs to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were assassinated in Sarajevo!
Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are engaged in a fierce battle in the Balkans, and both sides have allies to help support the situation. If you are not careful, the European War will break out. Who has the mind to care about such trivial matters between China and the United States? Great powers
Among them, only the Japanese shouted a few times, but there was no response.
So, June 28 is a good day! When Europe’s attention was attracted to Sarajevo, Fang Jianxiong said to himself in front of a huge map: “Today is the day after tomorrow.”
This is a map of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Every detail is clearly marked, and all units at the village level have not been spared. This is the result of two months of hard work by a group of staff from the General Staff. These young people traveled all over the Jiaodong Peninsula.
Every village, well, the banner is to explore the terrain and build roads.
After completing the delivery ceremony, six Chinese naval warships flying the five-color flag sailed out of San Francisco. In the command cabin of the flagship "Yellow River", the formation commander Tang Xiangming's face was slightly distorted with excitement. The displacement was 10,000 tons, and the main gun caliber was 203mm.
Chapter completed!
