Why did Li Xiaofeng suddenly go to the United States? There is only one reason: to introduce technology, especially the technology that the navy urgently needs.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng is trying one thing the most important thing is whether he can introduce a group of Brooklyn-class light cruisers. According to the agreement reached by Li Xiaofeng and Stalin before, the Type 33 destroyer and Type 35 cruiser projects must be launched. If you want to start construction work in 34 or 35 years, you must introduce technology at this time. Especially the Type 35 cruiser project, Stalin attached great importance to it, and repeatedly urged it, annoying a certain immortal.

Coincidentally, in 1933, the Americans just completed the design of the Brooklyn-class light cruiser, and the Senate had allocated funds to start construction. If a full set of Brooklyn-class technology could be introduced, for the Soviet Union, both heavy cruisers and light cruisers would have been settled (Brooklyn's heavy training version is Wichita).

Not only did cruisers have landed, but also the problems of destroyers could be solved together. For the Soviet Union at that time, the boilers were still old-fashioned, while the Americans had already done direct intake injection technology with fuel-saving devices, and the hull had been widely used for electric welding. As for the firepower control system, it was several streets higher than the Soviet Union.

For example, the famous mk1238 caliber high-level dual-purpose cannon and its extremely attached mk37 fire control system (the system was developed in 1936 and installed in 1939) can detect and track air targets with speeds of less than 740 kilometers per hour and guide the artillery to shoot. The central shooting calculator introduced by the Soviet Union from Italy that year could not effectively detect enemy aircraft, let alone track and shoot.

In 1933, neither the MK12 cannon nor the very awesome MK37 fire control was invented. Among them, MK12 was not done in 1934. This problem is not big. However, the MK37 fire control system was a bit overwhelming, but Li Xiaofeng believed that if real money was used to open the way, the American company that was tortured by the economic crisis would be happy to develop a fire control system similar to the MK37 for the Soviet Union. In this regard, Nokia did not achieve nothing. At least the magnetron Nokia was basically done, leading the world for about 5 years. Now Nokia is not inferior to the integration and specific process production issues, otherwise the sea-based radar used would have been done long ago.

Americans were not actually world-class in this year. Like the international policies of the United States, American companies did not invest much in this area. It was not until the outbreak of World War II and the British cousin conducted a technical blood transfusion that they leap forward with the help of developed basic technical reserves and industrial capabilities.

Now, Nokia does not lack cutting-edge technologies, but it lacks an industrial foundation that can apply these technologies on a large scale. At this time, cooperation with Americans can be considered as a way to get what they need.

At least Li Xiaofeng is confident that he will produce a fire control radar that is no worse than the mk4 radar within two to three years, and even because of the magnetron, the performance will be better than the original mk4 radar.

However, there are many difficulties in convincing the Americans. Because the relationship between the two governments is really not that good, and they cannot be good friends like Britain and the United States. If they do not provide enough conditions to impress the Americans, the introduction of technology may be stranded.

In fact, the United States exported high-end technology to the Soviet Union in history. After the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression treaty in 1939, it was agreed to export relevant technology to the Soviet Union because the war on the European continent was about to begin and was in the purpose of diplomatic balance. In this year, in the United States, where isolationism is dominant, it is probably difficult for it to sell cutting-edge technology to other countries like the Soviet Union. This depends on Li Xiaofeng's skills.

Some comrades may also wonder why Li Xiaofeng talked about the introduction of technology. Why is he a spy leader involved in this matter? The reason is very simple, because Li Xiaofeng is not an ordinary spy leader. In addition to this identity, someone is also the general manager of the US-Soviet trading company (amtopr). All trade with the United States is handled by this US-Soviet trading company, including sensitive military technology.

So when US Secretary of State Cordell Hull heard the boss of the US-Soviet trading company requested to meet with him to discuss the US-Soviet trade issue, he was both surprised and curious. As Roosevelt's hardcore loyal dog, Cordell Hull fully supported Roosevelt's new policy, and he was really a pawn-like role. Because he was loyal to Roosevelt and had outstanding abilities. When Roosevelt became the longest-serving president in American history, Cordell Hull also became the longest-serving secretary of state. This man worked from 1933 to 1944!

Of course, this old fox is also a perfect match, and it is quite difficult to deal with.

"I'm glad to see you, Mr. Petrovic, is there anything you can do for you?"

Facing the smiling Secretary of State, Li Xiaofeng, who had not come, felt like he was facing a smiling tiger. Hull's smile contained a beast-like emotion, as if he was not careful, he would bite hard by this person.

"I am also very happy to see you, Secretary of State. I am here to visit you this time, the main purpose is to further expand trade cooperation between our two countries..."

Bar, Bar, Li Xiaofeng said a lot of scenes, and Hull listened so unhurriedly. Until someone basically finished speaking, he replied: "I am happy to expand trade exchanges between the two countries. Our industrial products can completely change the lives of the Soviet people, right?"

This is a test. The Americans actually discovered that in the previous cooperation projects with the Soviet Union, every project introduced by the Soviets had profound military purposes. For example, in the Ural joint venture tractor factory, this factory can produce tractors and quickly convert to tanks and armored vehicles. For example, the Dnieper Hydropower Station seems to be a civilian project, but its power is not used for the use of residents, but is directly used to produce steel and aluminum alloys.

As the United States, which is dominated by isolationism, has opposition to the attitude of war. Even if the United States does not directly intervene in the war, the export of weapons and military technology is untolerable in the eyes of some moral guardians. For example, in the 1940 US election. In the context of the world war, Americans are more inclined to elect a pacifist president.

Now, isolationism is even stronger. It is unlikely that the US military-industrial group will even dump arms out. In this case, the Roosevelt administration, which had just come to power, is probably hesitant to treat an alien country like the Soviet Union. For example, what Hull said just now is that there is no problem selling civilian products. As for military products, let’s talk about it later!

In fact, Li Xiaofeng also heard Hull's meaning, but he felt that Americans are also quite rigid in their work. Is there such a big difference between military and civilian technologies? Take off those shorts and it is for military purposes. When worn, it is for civil purposes. Some rules can avoid the so-called sensitivity of military equipment.

So he smiled and replied: "We welcome American companies to help our country in various fields, such as in mechanical manufacturing, shipbuilding, and electronic technology. We think there is a lot of room for this cooperation. In fact, I have brought several contract consent letters this time."

While saying that Li Xiaofeng handed the letter of intent to Corder Hull, the latter took it quietly and did not read it immediately. Because there was no need for such things, there was no need to give an answer immediately. It must be carefully reviewed and studied, and it is impossible to be urgent.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng also knew that there would be no result for the time being. After saying some scenes with Hull, he said goodbye. However, Hull was shocked by the letter of intent left by Li Xiaofeng. There were dozens of projects involved, and each order was not small!

For the United States, which is troubled by the economic crisis, these orders mean employment security. Not to mention all of them, even if they achieve half of them, they can increase the employment rate a lot.

However, Hull also knew that the large orders sent by the Soviets were not so delicious. Looking at the companies and technologies involved, they always gave people the feeling of selling dog meat with the help of sheep.

For example, the Soviets were preparing to introduce boilers and turbines and electrical equipment and technologies to Westinhouse, General Electric and Babcock Wilcox. They said that the power of those boilers and turbines was civilian. Who would believe it?

Anyway, Hull didn't believe it, and he probably didn't believe it either, but he was reluctant to let him refuse this order and give up this temptation.

Why? The economy is in a downturn.

"Continue to discuss and research, touch the bottom of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and see how many people oppose it!"

Roosevelt could not completely refuse this temptation, and of course he would not agree immediately. It is not easy to mess with the men of the Senate and the House of Representatives. He had just come to power and could not offend the real power faction of the Senate and the House of Representatives for a little economic benefit. Otherwise, how would he live in the next few years?

News of the Soviet Union's large-scale technology introduction was soon leaked, and the American political arena was in full swing for a while. Some supported them and certainly many opposed them. But what is more interesting is that these two factions competed equally on this issue, and no one could convince anyone. This also caused the matter to be persistent.

"Aren't you going to do something?" Wufengjevich asked.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and did not answer this question, because he had done everything he could. This is not the Soviet Union, nor is it a country that the Bolsheviks say. When dealing with the US government, it is useless to just contact officials. Because these people are just agents standing on the table, and the interest groups behind the agents can really determine the direction of things are the interest groups behind them.

Obviously, the olive branch Li Xiaofeng has thrown is very attractive to large groups that play in manufacturing, such as General Electric, Westinhouse Electric and other related companies. They urgently need new orders and new markets and are happy to promote this business.

However, the conservative forces in the United States, especially those engaged in finance, opposed this business. The reason was not difficult to find. Li Xiaofeng had no face to give Jews in East Prussia and cut off their business heads. This made the Jewish consortium in the United States very annoyed and wanted to give someone a little color, so he jumped up and down to sang praises to the conservative forces.

Faced with such a situation, Li Xiaofeng certainly could not surrender to the Jews. If they surrender, they would have to make a big difference. And he is not unable to wait. In the context of the economic crisis, the position of financial groups in the United States is actually quite embarrassing. If they want to get out of the economic crisis, the motivation will definitely not lie with them. Judging from the later Roosevelt's new policy, the country's control over finance has actually been strengthened. Moreover, large-scale investment in industries and infrastructure has driven domestic demand.

In the long run, the financial industry will have to hold its tail together in the next few years, waiting for the Roosevelt administration to reform them. The era of free economy that financial tycoons like to let them play has passed.

Under this big situation, Li Xiaofeng is even more unlikely to admit defeat to the Jews. Anyway, the 100-day new policy has begun to be implemented, and it is the general trend that Roosevelt took action against the financial industry. This stage of action will last until January 1934, ending with a depreciation of 40.94%. Li Xiaofeng does not believe how long the Jews can be awesome.

Moreover, judging by Roosevelt's subsequent continuous measures, he completed the rectification of the financial field. The next focus was on adjustments to industry and agriculture. How to reduce the unemployment rate and how to find a market for American products was his most important topic. At that time, orders from the Soviet Union were of extraordinary significance.

Even Li Xiaofeng felt that he came a little early. Maybe in two months, he would come to the United States in October. That was the general trend, and the Jews could not make any waves at all.

Of course, it is not without reason to come to the United States earlier. The main reason is that Princess Anne is about to give birth. A certain immortal is about to become a father, and Li Xiaofeng does not want to miss this moment. Speaking of which, this is the first time a certain immortal has become a father in his two lives. Excitement is inevitable, so he naturally has to rush to the United States early to wait.

So why did Princess Anne give birth in the United States? The reason is very simple. After the war, as a certain immortal married Angelina, His Highness was stimulated to a certain extent and once lived in the United States, preparing to feel at ease when her previous princess forgot about a certain immortal.

Fortunately, a fickle fairy improved her sister's skills a lot in her life. She used both soft and hard words to pull His Royal Highness back to her arms. However, Princess Anne always felt that she was a mistress, so she was not willing to live in Europe. Except for spending a few months in Finland and France, she spent most of her time in the United States.

Moreover, Princess Anne is in the United States, and a lot of the industries of a certain immortal were handed over to His Highness the Princess for her. If it were someone else, a certain immortal was really worried.

Speaking of Princess Anne, we have to mention another woman beside a fairy, that is, his authentic wife Angelina. In 1925, under the witness of Lenin and his party-state giants, Li Xiaofeng finally married this beautiful girl in the Winter Palace, which symbolized the great victory of the proletarian revolution.

To be honest, in 1925, when materials were in trouble, the rules of the wedding were quite large. The host was Lenin and the witness was Derrensky. The guests who attended the wedding included all the Politburo and members of the Central Committee. Let's put it this way, this wedding was more lively than the plenary meeting of the Central Committee. In the words of later historical circles, it was a wedding of the century.

A certain immortal's marriage life is also quite happy. In addition to a few mistresses, this family is also harmonious and beautiful. What makes a certain immortal more frustrated is Angelina's weird old man, her weird grandfather and her weird hobbies.

Li Xiaofeng's father-in-law, the famous playboy, was in prison for several years. Under the care of a certain immortal, he was treated well in prison, at least he saved his life and was not forced to pick up soap. However, after he was released from prison, the playboy became solid again and made a lot of jokes. As a last resort, Li Xiaofeng could only send him abroad and let him go to Sweden to continue the flower-picking business.

As for Angelina's grandfather, the old man liked to make trouble. After the large-scale disarmament made him go home, he ran to the Northeast, and got along with a group of old White Russian friends who were exiled to Harbin. He almost lost his life in a drunken fight. Fortunately, Li Xiaofeng kept asking one-eyed Peter to help take care of him, so he saved the old man.

Of course, compared with these two, Angelina herself has greater and more intense struggles. As a new woman, especially a new woman with advanced ideas who participated in the October Revolution, she is completely different from those Russian women who traditionally took care of their husbands and children. She is extremely passionate about politics and likes to participate in sports.

In the 1920s and 1930s, an advanced women's organization was formed by her and Stalin's loli wife Alilueva, determined to safeguard the power of Russian women. He was really running around and constantly fighting against all kinds of Russian drunkards and domestic violence against her husband. Once, the relationship between Stalin and Alilueva was on the verge of shattering (no one could stand the temper of steel).

In addition, Angelina is busy with the welfare of children. In this way, she and a certain immortal are really separated and have less time to meet each other in a week. This makes the immortal a little happy while being depressed. Angelina likes to make trouble, otherwise all his fans will have to be exposed.

After entering the 1930s, Lenin could not bear to see the troubles of these women and ordered them to show less and engage in less exercise, go home more and live a family life, and have more revolutionary second-generation people as soon as possible.

It was only after Lenin's words that Angelina was a little more honest, but she became honest, calmed down, and went home, and lived a good life with a certain immortal. However, the relationship between Steel and Alilueva did not ease after Alilueva's return, but the conflict between the two sides became even more intensified!

Anyway, since 30 years, Steel's family life has been a mess. Old couples and young couples quarrel when they meet, and they quarrel over the phone without meeting each other. They really have to stop for a moment. Steel is worried and regrets again and again. Why did he push down such a loli back then?
