Chapter 1424 Captives and Supplies

1424 After Hu Bin got the number of prisoners of war sent by the United States, he glanced at it and found that there were many fewer people, so he immediately showed it to Li Nian.

When Li Nian saw that there were more than 2.2 million on it, he felt that it was not small. However, Hu Bin said that if there were fewer, it would definitely be small.

"I don't know where there is less?" Hu Bin looked at Li Nian and asked.

"Are you a lot? 2.2 million, not a lot!" Li Nian said to Hu Bin.

When Hu Bin heard this, he walked to his desk, took a document from it, and handed it to Li Nian: "Look, this is the number of annihilated Japanese devils written in the American War Report since Japan landed.

There are also the number of prisoners of the Japanese, and this one, which is the force that they have successively invested in America, and the force that they have retreated!"

When Li Nian heard this, he took the document, looked at it carefully, and after reading it, he also calculated it in his heart.

"More than 2 million is missing!" Li Nian said.

"There are not that many, and some are missing people. There are probably more than 1.2 million people. These people have been incorporated by the Americans.

Those Indians joined the US troops. The 2.2 million were unwilling to join. Some wanted to go home, and some wanted to go to the British troops, so they were still locked up!" Hu Bin shook his head and said when he heard Li Nian talk about more than 2 million.

He estimated it to be 1.2 million, after all, there were still some prisoners.

Although from a statistical perspective, I don’t know where I went, Hu Bin is sure that he was either killed by the Americans, or he disappeared without any statistics. Hu Bin just conservatively estimated that the United States left 60%.

"So, then you plan to sell all these people, and the British will eat them all?" Li Nian asked at Hu Bin.

"I can't give them all to eat, but most of them are still given!" Hu Bin heard it and said with a smile.

"Well, that's fine. Then next, you have to negotiate terms with the people from the United States?" Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and continued to ask.

"That's right, we need to talk about it!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

In the afternoon, Truman and the others came here very early. Hu Bin had just finished lunch when they arrived. Hu Bin had no choice but to ask them to sit down.

"General Hu, I wonder if you have any idea of ​​any solution?" Truman asked Hu Bin who was about to sit down.

"This, I wonder if you are a little anxious. Why don't you have money when you guard a treasure mountain? This makes me very puzzled.

Look, the supplies are worth more than 4 billion yuan, and there are those people, even if they cost 100 yuan each, we will sell 200 million yuan, right?" After Hu Bin sat down, he said to Truman and Marshall.

"Ha~~" Marshall smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"I really can't sell it?" Hu Bin asked at them pretending to be disbelief.

"I really can't sell it. If I can sell it, that's fine!" Marshall nodded and said.

"Oh, how is that possible? I said General Marshall, don't lie to me!" Hu Bin said as he looked at Marshall in disbelief.

"How about this? General Hu, these supplies and prisoners, will give you half of them as a reward for this time?" Truman immediately said to Hu Bin when he heard this.

"Ah? No? We said it well before. We gave you cheaper. Just give me the money. Now you say you give me half of it. Isn't this good?" Hu Bin immediately looked at Truman in shock and said.

"As long as you want, give you half of these weapons, some of which are fought by our American troops themselves, and you fight before you come to our Americas, give you half of them.

There are also those prisoners, and many of them were captured by us before you came." Marshall said.

"So, this, this!" Hu Bin heard it and said as if he was very embarrassed.

"We will transport you, just give us 100 million Chinese dollars? How to guarantee that we will send it to your port in northeastern China!" Marshall Xiyi stared at Hu Bin and said.

As long as you can get rid of debts and make some money, it is also good.

"Dede, I said to General Marshall, why are you doing this? It's not good!" Hu Bin heard it and shook his head and said.

"General Hu, you don't know how poor we in the United States are. Really, you want to give you half of it and we will send it back, and then you can give us 100 million Chinese dollars. How about it?" Marshall looked at Hu Bin very sincerely and said.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, I think about it!" Hu Bin sat there and said, pretending to be impatient.

When Marshall heard this, he shut up and stopped talking.

"I really can't sell it?" Hu Bin sat there and said unwillingly.

"I really can't sell it. I won't lie to you. The selling speed is too slow. Who knows when it will be sold? Now we just want money!" Truman looked at Hu Bin and nodded affirmatively.

"So, well, we will forgive you of prisoners, materials and debts as you said, but we agreed not to regret it?" Hu Bin sat there, made up his mind very hard and said to them.

"Ah, really, thank you, thank you General Hu, thank you!" Truman immediately grabbed Hu Bin's hand and said to Hu Bin.

"Stop, stop, stop, first, ask your president, and what others mean, find out for me, ask them whether they agree or not, and then write a contract and write down the supplies clearly for me.

Don't do it, we can't explain it clearly. If you can do it well, I can sign a contract for you tonight!" Hu Bin said to Marshall and the others.

"Don't worry, there must be no problem. We will get the authorization of the parliament and the president immediately. You wait, wait.

General Marshall, you accompany General Hu, I'll send it now!" Truman was very happy. He didn't expect that Hu Bin would actually ask for those supplies.

"General Hu, thank you very much!" Marshall looked at Truman and left, saying thankfully to Hu Bin.

"Hey, stop saying thank you, I have no choice. You said, how can you do this country like this big, so how can you not have such a little money? No one believes it if you say it out.

Judging from the books, it seems that China is taking advantage of you, but you media reporters want to make it clear to you in China that I have not taken advantage of you.

I originally occupied half of these supplies.

Although you said that some of the materials were seized by you before, according to the data I know, there are still 400 million equipment worth of them, and they did not appear on these bills, right?" Hu Bin asked at Marshall and the others.

"Yes, yes, this is right!" Marshall nodded for sure.

"Don't worry, we thank you. We exchange these things for debts. Thank you very much!" The media reporters also spoke.

"Yes, thank you!" Many reporters nodded and said.

"Well, transportation, 100 million, hand it over to us, how about?" Marshall said to Hu Bin.

"We have a fleet in China, you know!" Hu Bin said to Marshall.

"Oh, just help us. Is it okay? Your Chinese fleet has endless work to do now, so you won't be able to do this job!" Marshall said to Hu Bin.

"Okay, okay, if you want to transport it back, I'll leave it to you!" Hu Bin nodded and said.

"Okay, great, really!" Marshall was so moved that he couldn't speak.

"General Marshall, no need to do this. We are a friendly country and we need to help each other. I also know that you have difficulties and can understand.

Needless to say, I am just thinking about whether I can sell those things so that our two countries will have money, right?" Hu Bin said to Marshall.

"Yes, yes, what's your solution?" Marshall asked at Hu Bin.

"Hey, no, too much. If you say one, that's OK, that's OK, but so much, what can I think of?" Hu Bin sat there and sighed.

Originally, he wanted to show off the third plan today, but when he heard them say they wanted to give him half of the supplies, Hu Bin immediately held back.

Half of the supplies are more than 2 billion, and they are obtained first and then released.

"Yes, if there is a way, it's easy to do. There are too many things that we can't digest on our own! We really don't know what to do!" Marshall said.

While Hu Bin was talking to Marshall, Truman also sent Roosevelt the matter that he had just told Hu Bin to pay off the debt with half of the materials, asking Roosevelt to obtain the authorization of the parliament and hoped that Roosevelt would agree.

After receiving the telegram, Roosevelt was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect China to ask for these supplies.

"Do you want to give this to them? Is it true? China really wants it?" Roosevelt didn't want to give it to them, but the second one was afraid that it was not true, and he was afraid that China would not want it then.

"Give them a look at the supplies and maintain them. It costs more than 500,000 yuan a day, and those supplies are weapons and ammunition. Over time, they will be worthless.

Of course, the books are worth so much money now, but in a year, it will probably be depreciated by half, and in two years, it will probably be scrapped.

How can we have so much manpower to maintain so many weapons?" The staff members nodded immediately when they heard this.

When other cabinet officials heard this, they nodded. The book value of these materials was quite a lot of money, but if they could not be sold, they would be worse than garbage.

Forget it if you throw away the garbage, you can't throw it around. These are weapons, grenades and shells. If they are not well maintained, they may explode!

When Roosevelt heard this, he immediately notified the secretary and immediately summoned the members of the Houston to hold a meeting and pass the plan as soon as possible.

This news has also begun to be published in American newspapers, which also explains why they have to be given half of it and also tells about the monthly maintenance costs. If they are not given, those supplies will not only not bring wealth, but also burn money.
