(...I don't know how to do business, including arms, and I don't even know how to bargain, but I did a business with far-reaching influence. Since then, the British warehouses have been open to China because I have helped the Royal Air Force a lot of favor... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

I heard that Cao Xiaomin was going to transfer the trade with Britain to Chen Jitang, so Chiang Kai-shek immediately called Cao Xiaomin to the study the next morning. (Free download of full text e-book)

"Trade to Britain is currently the most important trade in my country, and the proportion of fuel and weapons occupies the first place. I think it is better for Liehou to catch it by himself. I don't feel at ease with others..." Cao Xiaomin understood: intervene? Chen Jitang was originally the main person in charge of this trade, and he was responsible for it. The person who can be said to be intervening must be someone who has not been in contact with this matter before. He can have a major connection but has no contact, and can reach in, even one person like Chen Jitang who can't stop the former Nan Batian: Kong Xiangxi.

Because when the negotiations on the trade with Britain began, Kong Xiangxi was still in Europe, and he was out of reach. Now that he is back, this loan was originally something he had negotiated, so it was easy for him to intervene! Chiang Kai-shek was very thoughtful. He was in a country, but Kong Xiangxi was different. He just wanted to make money! Cao Xiaomin was very angry: he had already grasped a German trade and had to extend his hand to Britain and the United States. Could it be that you have to take advantage of all the arms trade in China!?

Chen Jitang may not be corruption, but this person donated too much money at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the highest among all the lower lords, and even higher than the sum of the other people. It is obvious that if this person had not had a greater plan, he was a person with a very strong national self-esteem. No matter which one it was, Cao Xiaomin believed that they would not lose the big picture because of the small, and he would never get any more money in the plan that had already been established for the British trade, so Cao Xiaomin was relieved to hand over the largest trade between countries before this project to him. But Kong Xiangxi was different, he could

No matter what your original plan is, he can change the world! Cao Xiaomin later learned why Zhou Zhirou saw Miss Kong Er like a ghost. His family dared not care about anything else and asked for kickbacks. As a result, the price that had already been negotiated was taken away by his family, and the Americans would certainly not suffer any loss. They reduced the engine power of the plane by 20%! If he was the one who presided over the trade with Britain, if he used this trick again, the British would throw all kinds of bad goods to China in anger... Not everything could be used like the b24!

It is obvious that Chiang Kai-shek was also worried about him, but he had no choice but to let him intervene unless Cao Xiaomin continued to seize the right to decide.

"I think there is a way..." Cao Xiaomin thought for a moment and said: "If it is expected to be good, it will be too soon, and it will be too late next year. The Japanese will definitely block our maritime transportation in two or three years, so we might as well buy all the things we should buy in the shortest time. We want to build a large ammunition production base, and these things are all handled by Director Li of Factory 21. I think he is the first person in China's arms technology at present, and no one can do anything about it. This time, he will upgrade his military rank to Lieutenant General, and is directly responsible for the reception of all materials and technology and storage.

After the materials come back, they are put into the warehouse and out of the warehouse. No one can call them without his warrants. Then we can't accept the pounds back, just treat them as being in the Bank of England. All the interest income before payment is transferred to the arsenal as a benefit for employees, and it can also improve the living conditions of the arsenal employees. In this way, although I no longer care about trade with the UK, all contracts have been signed. Chen Jitang only supervises the execution of the contract, while Director Li manages all the materials to receive and receive, and the money is not in the central bank. I think who can still interfere and knock out a penny!"

After hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a solution, and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, that's it! Looking back, I see the other cooperations, which can end like this for the Soviet Union, Germany, France, and the United States..."

Cao Xiaomin's heart thundered again: If the Kong family and the Song family knew that they had such a bad idea, they would be afraid that they would strangle themselves to death...

After the aftermath is dealt with, then spend money quickly! Cao Xiaomin was about to find someone to notify the British representatives to come over to discuss, but he received a rumor from the guards. Two British people asked for a meeting, one of whom was a representative of the German Havilland Company, which Cao Xiaomin values ​​particularly, and the other said he was Cao Xiaomin's old friend!

Ha, it was that "Davis"! Cao Xiaomin saw one of the British people who was a senior member of Jardine Mahjong, the British man who helped him a lot on the Yangtze River!

If Jones hadn't deliberately "lent" things from the arsenal to Cao Xiaomin, I'm afraid the refugees who were massacred at the coal port would not be the same! If Davis hadn't "lent" the ship to Cao Xiaomin, how many brothers would have died on the Yangtze River!? When Cao Xiaomin saw that such an old friend came, he rushed down the steps and gave him an intimate hug!

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Deha Vilan, a famous aircraft design master in the world..." Jones' introduction surprised Cao Xiaomin from the beginning: Although he didn't know De Havilland before traveling through time, with Chennard, Zhou Zhirou often mentioned this person and read some information in his ears like Tang Sanzang. Cao Xiaomin now knows this person, the founder of Havilland Company, Big Boss! Now he is here in person!

Not only De Havilland came, he came with a design team. The three leaders of the design team, Bithorp, Clarkson, Wilkins, etc., had already arrived at the Air Force headquarters and was holding a meeting with Zhou Zhirou, Wang Zhu, who was the first chief engineer of Boeing, who was the first chief engineer of Boeing. Havilland himself did not participate in the meeting, so he took the time to visit Cao Xiaomin with Jones. The main reason was that he also wanted to know this Far East star who planned the bombing of Tokyo.

Jones is a businessman. When he came up, he introduced how his Jardines Foreign Company recently cooperated with Chen Jitang, how much air fuel he had shipped to China, etc. It is obvious that he was also telling Cao Xiaomin how much he made to China's war of resistance and how he firmly supported the Chinese people's war of resistance... If it was just to express these, why did he bring Havilland here? Since someone has arranged the cooperation with Havilland. Is it to show off his identity? In order to be in front of me or in front of Havilland? Cao Xiaomin always felt that Jones's trip was purposeful. If he was as desireless as in Coal Port, he would not be so enthusiastic, and he would maintain a noble temperament.

Not long after he sat down, Havilland found an excuse to go to the bathroom. The moment Havilland stood up, Cao Xiaomin understood that the real drama was staged: Jones did have something to talk to him, and he could send Havilland to build a bridge for him. This person is not simple!

"In India, we have a lot of arsenals. At one point, we produced a lot of arms to deal with those Indian rebel organizations. You know that we British have always been very strict in doing things. These arms are well preserved, although they are already in the destruction period..." Jones began his topic: "In fact, the guns and ammunition we have been selling to your country are all products in the same period. Unfortunately, your country's purchasing power is limited, and many of our ammunition is still forced to be destroyed. I mean, some people don't want to destroy them, they want to sell them to China. I know that General Cao currently has the final decision on the trade with Britain, so I come to you for a win-win cooperation..."

Most of the arms sold by the British, French, German and Soviets in China were almost expired. Cao Xiaomin knew of course that he knew how much harm some ammunition that suddenly silenced would bring to the soldiers, but as long as it was bullets and that was **, China would have to, China had no choice!

"Price, trade method, as long as I can accept it, Mr. Jones, I thank you for everything you have done for the Chinese War of Resistance!" Cao Xiaomin immediately expressed his opinion, also to repay Jones with a favor, including his life-saving grace.

"This is not the biggest problem..." Jones smiled and said: "These guns and ammunition flow into the black market are also very popular. Now the biggest problem is the b24s, the aircraft that create miracles in China. There are almost no pilots in the UK who are willing to fly them. They call them the rotten wooden coffins for flying. The Royal Air Force hopes that General Cao can buy them all!"

My God! How much does that cost? Cao Xiaomin is not worried that these planes will not be used in China, but the money...

"There are not many, we have one hundred and forty-four such aircraft left. The Royal Air Force hopes that you can buy them all and replace them with new aircraft..." Jones restored his gentlemanly manner: "I will give you these aircraft at this price..." He wrote a price on paper that was one-third higher than the original matching sales, and said: "The price of this trade includes the Indian inventory of arms that I mentioned to you..."

Obviously, Jones is not an ordinary smuggling merchant. He represents the British government or some military forces. He wants to take advantage of the inventory and digest some equipment that the British Air Force does not like but does not allow money to be replaced immediately. There are really not many partners who can leave the military's books openly and be smeared without fear of investigation. Cao Xiaomin is one of them!

"Trade!" Cao Xiaomin handed it without thinking: "I believe in a gentleman who dares to stand up and provide shelter for those poor refugees in such a situation where everyone is in danger!"
