Chapter 115 The Terminator Project
Chapter 115
The FBI was very capable. It quickly completed a report and submitted it to Roosevelt's office. The report was quickly sent to the U.S. Embassy in China in an encrypted manner. After having such information, Huo Huo
Pugins saw the dawn of someone making concessions.
"Damn guy, we finally found his weak spot!" There were cheers in the office, and Stilwell waved his fist excitedly and roared. Hopkins sat back and smiled reservedly, Hurley beamed with joy, and Fisher
I turned my face away, twitched my cheeks a few times, and secretly lamented in my heart: He was planning me again.
The intelligence revealed that the Eurasia Group, a subsidiary of the Fang family, registered a company called Quake in the United States, and took advantage of the bankruptcy of Lockheed in 1929 to acquire 30% of the company.
Shares. The investment spokesperson of the Eurasian Group in the United States is an American named George. He joined the Eurasian Group in his early years and served as the executive president of the Eurasian Group Maanshan Steel Company for a long time. After the economic crisis broke out in 1929, George returned to the United States.
As the spokesperson of the Eurasia Group, George also acquired 20% of the shares of the American Dodge Company and 15% of the shares of Ford Motor Company in the United States. In the past two years, George has spent a lot of money and acquired more than a dozen
A bankrupt military manufacturing company was integrated into Quake Corporation. These assets and shares of Eurasia Group in the United States totaled approximately one billion U.S. dollars.
Based on the above intelligence facts, Fang Jianxiong has huge interests in the United States, and his tough stance is just to scare people. Another thing worth noting is that some of the advanced military technology in the United States has long been sent to China through the channels of Quake Company.
In fact, such a piece of intelligence had been submitted to the President's Office when Hoover was president, but no attention was paid to it at the time. President Hoover even asked the intelligence agencies not to touch this company, so as not to disturb the Chinese people, which would lead to
The consequences of divestment.
Just because I didn't dare to mess with this company at the beginning doesn't mean I don't dare to mess with it now. Besides, with so many American assets, it shows that Fang Jianxiong's attitude towards the United States has not fundamentally changed. When everyone was happy, Fisher splashed the beans in time.
A basin of cold water said: "Everyone, the U.S. economy is recovering, which is a good thing. What I want to remind everyone is that Fang Jianxiong cannot be judged by common sense. Once he is completely angered, no one can predict what he will do.
Expected.”
"Mr. Fisher's words are very reasonable. President Franklin asked us not to anger the other side. It is for this reason that we can make some concessions. Anyway, if we don't give China something, the Germans will give it to them."
.Let the other party understand the attitude of the United States through appropriate concessions, but we must let this dictator understand that the United States will not give in easily." Hopkins added Fisher's speech in a good mood, thinking in his mind
How to deal with this difficult guy.
"The Chinese have not solved the problem of engine development for large bombers. I think they can make some concessions in this regard and transfer some mature but backward technologies to China. In addition to the technology of high-grade fuel, I think this is enough.
"Fisher suggested with a smile. Stilwell frowned and said, "Can you tell me the reason? The large bombers currently in service in the Chinese Air Force are all produced by Huabo Company, but the engines they use are relatively backward.
It belongs to the technology of the late World War I. Can we just transfer the technology of the active US Air Force to China?"
"According to the intelligence I learned from some of my military friends, the Chinese Air Force has a total of ten large bomber wings, four of which are deployed in the Northwest Military Region, four in the Far East Military Region, and the remaining two are deployed in Qingdao. The question is
"The bombers currently in service in the Chinese Air Force have a maximum range of only 800 kilometers when fully loaded. If this problem can be solved, Fang Jianxiong will not give in." After Fisher explained in a leisurely manner, everyone understood. The latest from the U.S. Air Force
The Flying Fortress B-17 in service only needs to be given this.
"The b-17 is produced by Boeing in the United States. The joint venture Huabo Company in China has never had the technical capabilities in this area. Boeing was very stuck before, and even threatened the Chinese Air Force with divestment and suspension of production, refusing to produce b-17 in China.
I think I understand what Mr. Fisher means. The German Junkers are enough to replace the active bombers produced by Huabo. I have to admit that Mr. Fisher has a very accurate vision on the China issue. In Chinese terms,
It's so profound." As a soldier, Stilwell, after listening to Fisher's self-conscious explanation, stood up and loudly helped Fisher round out his words, and even applauded enthusiastically.
Others also think this makes sense. The Chinese can introduce the Junkers series from Germany. Huabo will go bankrupt without orders from the Air Force. And Boeing has a lot of influence in the United States. Once it is pressured by the government,
If the Chinese market is lost, some members of Congress will definitely jump at the Capitol. It has probably lost 3 billion orders per year, and the United States cannot suffer more losses.
"This suggestion is very good, but we should ask domestic authorities first. If Boeing believes that there is still much room for improvement in B-17 technology, then it is not a big problem." Hopkins is still calm and not impulsive.
I agreed as soon as my brain got hot.
Less than two hours after the meeting ended, the contents of the meeting were placed on Fang Jianxiong's desk. After reading the report, Fang Jianxiong rubbed his temples vigorously, and his neck was sore after a busy day. It is not easy to be the president of the United States!
It’s not easy to fool people! Fang Jianxiong, who is obsessed with the big air force strategy, has always been troubled by the inability to produce strategic bombers domestically. No matter how cold the relationship between China and the United States is, it is still a way for Fang Jianxiong to ask for advice. In the end, he can
Fang Jianxiong is not sure how much benefit he will get. But it is certain that what Fang Jianxiong wants most is the B-17, which is the main bomber of the United States in the early days of World War II. Once Huabo Company can introduce this technology, it will be able to do so within five years.
It is satisfying to digest it thoroughly. The development of China's strategic bombers can be regarded as a leap forward. Speaking of this large aircraft, it has always been a major difficulty in aviation technology. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is cutting-edge technology. China is currently in service
The bomber HB Thunder Dragon-4 has a full load of three tons and a maximum range of 800 kilometers. For this thing, if you want to bomb Tokyo, you have to take off from Incheon. The problem is that North Korea is still in the hands of Japan. Can you take down the B-17?
, build dozens of airports on the eastern coast of China, and bomb Japan whenever they want? Well, napalm bombs are good! They must have an appetite for Japanese architecture! As for killing 178,000 Japanese at a time, Fang Jianxiong has no idea
What a big burden. More importantly, with the B-17, we can push forward from Andiyan to the Caspian Sea and just build the airport. Labor and management don’t have to push too much forward, just use the B-17.
Intensive bombing of Baku, where 70% of the Soviet Union's oil came from.
Feeling so good in his heart, Fang Jianxiong pushed aside the sub-report and picked up another report with the word "Top Secret" on it. After opening it, he read it carefully. The "Terminator" plan finally made the latest progress. It was not easy.
Going back ten years, in the winter of 1926, German chemist O. Hahn and physical chemist F. Strassmann, professors at Shuimu University, were invited to a very remote place as guests. Here the two scientists saw some words
, although it was just a few words, it was enough to open a window in the mind. So the two scientists signed a top-secret agreement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and embarked on the journey.
took the train to the west and began long-term research in a secret research base in northwest China. In 1928, Danish physicist N.H.D. Bohr and his collaborator J.A. Wheeler were invited to give lectures in China, during which they came into contact with some research
After developing the theory of direction, he joined the "Terminator" project. In 1930, Hungarian physicist Zilard Leo joined...
In the past ten years, more than ten foreign physicists and chemists have been invited to give lectures in China and were tempted. Without exception, they chose to stay and conduct some secret research. Of course, no one at that time
I will pay special attention to the reasons why they stay in China. After all, scientists are quite eccentric people. It is impossible to do research without funds. Getting support from China is a good thing for scientists.
The problem of uranium enrichment was finally solved, and Fang Jianxiong breathed a sigh of relief. All the uranium ore for this project came from the Far East, which was one of the benefits of taking back the Far East. The entire project was highly classified, and the research location was in a desert circle in the northwest.
A territory with a radius of several hundred kilometers is designated as a military restricted area.
Fang Jianxiong’s requirements are really not too high. He just needs to be able to produce the atomic bomb before 1945, as long as he is earlier than the Americans. The question is how to create some trouble for the Americans? Fang Jianxiong racked his brains and finally came up with an African place name.
, if I remember correctly at the time, the uranium mines used by the United States to develop atomic bombs came from Africa.
Well, we need to send someone to Africa to buy these uranium mines first. The opportunity to deceive the Americans cannot be missed. Fang Jianxiong did it as soon as he thought of it, but when he reached for the phone, the phone rang first.
"Well, I'm Fang Jianxiong!" He answered the question casually. After a few hums, Fang Jianxiong stood up and said, "I understand, don't act rashly for now." He hurriedly wrote the word "Africa" on the record book in front of him.
, to prevent himself from forgetting, Fang Jianxiong hung up the phone and picked it up: "Answer the Prime Minister's Office."
Something happened in the northwest. The call just now came from the Ministry of National Defense. I received a secret message from the Northwest Military Region. A fierce armed conflict broke out in the demilitarized zone near Fergana. Some militants entered China and burned, killed and looted wantonly.
Chapter completed!
