Chapter 556
~Date: ~November 06~
Now Americans have a desire for Hu Yunfeng, so the deadlock will only be short-lived. **(..) Hu Yunfeng ate the food prepared for him with relish, while Roosevelt measured the price he would pay in pain. The United States is not short of money. As long as Hawaii and the west coast of the United States are not attacked by the Japanese, Roosevelt would not care too much about Hu Yunfeng's asking price. But the key is that Hu Yunfeng's intention is to rent Midway Island, which is really sinister.
"Hu, the United States will never agree to the request for renting Midway Island." The situation is imminent, and Roosevelt finally wanted to use the aircraft carrier fleet of the Greater China Empire to temporarily help the US Pacific Fleet overcome this difficulty. He rejected Song E's request for renting Midway Island and said: "We can talk about other conditions."
Song E’s proposal just now made Hu Yunfeng feel good, but Hu Yunfeng thought about it carefully. After the end of World War II, the United States had more than 100 aircraft carriers of various types. It was impossible for the Greater China Empire to build so many aircraft carriers to fight against the United States. After the end of World War II, it was easy for the United States to use force to seize this island far away from the Greater China Empire, so it was not very useful to rent Midway Island.
However, Hu Yunfeng did not let it go easily. He said: "Mr. President, your troops stationed in the Philippines were driven out by the Japanese a few months ago. I took your army without hesitation and let you open a remote counterattack base in Papua New Guinea. I rented Midway Island for your sake. Why do you hesitate?"
"This..." Roosevelt was speechless when asked. Hu Yunfeng's intention to rent Midway Island was to threaten the United States. Everyone knew it in their hearts. But it was absolutely impossible to let Rose refuse. *1*1*1 Roosevelt was forced to say, "Midway's strategic nature is very important to the United States. Even if General Nimitz and I agree to lend it to you, our Congress will not pass it. Therefore, we don't need to waste time discussing this meaningless issue. The United States is just temporarily lacking aircraft carriers, and we will have new aircraft carriers at most at the end of the year. At that time, Midway will be an important base for our US Pacific ships to counterattack against Japan, so it is not appropriate to lend it to you."
"Mr. President, you should know that you want our Greater China Navy to serve the United States. If the United States does not rent Midway to me ◎ A Japanese attack on Midway, the losses are my navy. I also have Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia and other areas to defend against the Japanese. How can I agree to your request?" Hu Yunfeng retorted.
Roosevelt looked at Hu Yunfeng's expression and seemed to be loosening the problem of renting Midway Island. He said: "Old friend, you have the conditions. As long as you are not renting Midway Island, I will seriously consider your other conditions."
You have said this, don't blame me for speaking out loud. Hu Yunfeng asked for this statement. He said: "Mr. President, since the United States insists on not renting Midway Island, I will not force it. For the friendship between the Greater China Empire and the United States, for our private friendship, and for defeating militarist and terrorism, I agree with your request. Our Greater China Navy can help the American Pacific Fleet defend against the Japanese."
"But..." Hu Yunfeng changed his words. But the smiles on Roosevelt and Nimitz's faces did not disappear because Hu Yunfeng made a move. They all knew that Hu Yunfeng had not rented it to Midway Island, and must have asked the United States for other things. If Hu Yunfeng asked for money and supplies, Roosevelt had already made plans in his mind. As long as Hu Yunfeng was not too much, in order to allow the US Pacific Fleet to survive this period of crisis, he was ready to meet Hu Yunfeng's requirements.
Hu Yunfeng looked at Roosevelt and Nimitz with bright smiles on his face, paused, took the list handed over by Song E and said, "You must meet these conditions in my case" plus 2 billion US dollars of free aid."
When Roosevelt and Nimitz heard that Hu Yunfeng asked for $2 billion in free aid, he wanted to step forward and beat Hu Yunfeng, the shameless guy. Roosevelt was even more shocked to take the list handed over by Hu Yunfeng. Hu Yunfeng asked the United States to provide seven aircraft carriers by the end of 1944, including four heavy aircraft carriers, three battleships, ten cruisers, thirty destroyers, twenty submarines and several combat aircraft, as well as helping the Greater China Empire build a naval academy and two shipyards in Australia.
"Madman." Roosevelt's face, which had just been smiling brightly, immediately pulled down and cursed inwardly.
Of course, Hu Yunfeng was not a lunatic. He knew very well that the entire World War II was not the materials that the United States aided the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, which were sunk by German submarines. The materials given to Britain and the Soviet Union alone were worth 50 billion US dollars. He just wanted to share a little bit of it.
Although Roosevelt cursed Hu Yun as a madman, Roosevelt unexpectedly did not reject the conditions offered by Hu Yunfeng. He handed the list to Nimitz and said, "The conditions you offered are not difficult for the United States, but I also have conditions. You agree, I will give you all the things you want, and the United States can add assistance to you if necessary."
After hearing Roosevelt's words, Hu Yunfeng had guessed what conditions Roosevelt wanted to make. He said, "Please say it."
"First, openly declare war on the Japanese. Second, send troops to Southeast Asia to help the United States and Britain drive the Japanese out of Southeast Asia." Roosevelt said.
Damn, *** wanted to use the conditions I offered to force me to start a war with the Japanese now. Hu Yunfeng cursed inwardly: "Declaring war on Japan is a matter of the Greater China Empire, but the time is not ripe now, and my army is not ready yet. As for sending troops to Southeast Asia, I can promise you that when I go back, I will send a force to deal with the Japanese together with you in Myanmar."
"In this way, our differences are quite big. Your conditions cannot meet you." Roosevelt refused.
"Then our negotiations are over, and I think I should take my fleet back." Hu Yunfeng also refused.
Damn it, every time I negotiate with this guy, this guy is confused. When Hu Yunfeng was about to end the negotiations, Rosgao realized that the United States now had something to ask for Hu Yunfeng.
Roosevelt didn't want to get entangled with Hu Yunfeng. He said: "The United States provides 100 million US dollars in financial assistance to the Greater China Empire. All the ships you want are reduced to one-third, and the Naval Academy and two shipyards you want are also able to satisfy you."
"A ship must not be missing for 1.5 billion US dollars of economic aid. I can promise you that you declare war on Japan by June 1945 at the latest, and send a unit familiar with jungle combat to Myanmar to deal with the Japanese with you. Of course, my navy will also form a joint combat commander with your Pacific Fleet to help you resist the Japanese." Hu Yunfeng followed toughly. (To be continued...
