Chapter 732 North Carolina-class battleship

All of North China was recovered, and the Japanese army fled in panic. The unprecedented victory attracted the attention of the anti-fascist world.

Jiangdong's name and the designation of the Sixth Corps once again resounded throughout the world.

The mustachioed Prime Minister was shocked and deeply regretful. Moscow, London and Washington simultaneously cast curious glances.

Jiangdong wanted to get in touch with the American military community, and the Americans also wanted to explore Jiangdong's reality and get to know this Eastern general.

The Fuxing Trading Company now belongs to the Department of Commerce of the Administrative Council. People from the trading company were the first to let the Americans know that Koto wanted to purchase warships and build a shipyard.

The United States was also extremely interested in Koto, so it decided to trade naval ships as a breakthrough to open up a path of communication with Koto, the new warlord.

On August 6, a delegation composed of the U.S. Navy and members of Congress arrived in Peiping.

Jiangdong assigned the Foreign Affairs Office of the Administrative Committee to be responsible for the entire reception.

The two sides are scheduled to officially start talks on August 8.

This time, Jiangdong directly bypassed the Rockefeller family to contact higher-level officials in the United States. This made Thomas angry and uneasy, worried that his big business would slip away.

On the evening of August 7, Thomas found Gillian and wanted to use the "honey trap" again.

Jillian's work schedule during this period was very tight, leaving little time to think about other things.

She has several friends in the Chinese press, and Su Qing is one of them.

Jillian was very satisfied with her current work and living conditions. When she saw Thomas appearing in front of her, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"Gillian, my sister..." Thomas held Gillian's hand and said movingly:

"Through transactions with the Chinese, especially with Jiangdong, our family's status in the family is getting higher and higher day by day. If we continue at this rate, we will be able to get all the family's business in less than five years..."

Thomas talks about family ties, the pros and cons, in an attempt to persuade Gillian to devote herself to the family.

He spat and talked for five minutes. Jillian lowered her eyes and said calmly,

"Jiang is getting married...

I like my current situation very much. I don’t want to interfere with family affairs, so don’t bother me..."

Thomas was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly caught up with Gillian and said again:

"Aren't you always curious about this Chinese man? You can be his secret mistress after he gets married.

After things in China are over, your family will arrange a happy marriage for you.

Jillian, you have to believe in your parents and me, we will remember your efforts."

"Mistress...hehehe..."

How could the arrogant Miss Gillian be someone's mistress?

"Crack!"

After giving Thomas a hard slap, Gillian left angrily.

Thomas didn't care about the pain on his face. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the family business. After stamping his feet, he decided to think of another way.

Penicillin has been mass-produced in North America, and it is almost a monopoly business.

The U.S. military has no plans to join the world war for the time being, and its purchases are very small.

However, Canada and other Commonwealth countries regard this drug as a life-saving medicine on the battlefield and purchase it like crazy.

The Rockefeller family made a lot of money from this alone.

It is foreseeable that after the United States joins the fray, the benefits obtained by the Rockefey family from drugs such as penicillin will double.

Wireless communication technology has been applied to communications between cars, ships, and government departments. The technology provided by Kodong has kept the Rockefeller family in a leading position in this field.

With these businesses, the Rockefeller family's business network in North America continues to expand, and the family's status continues to rise, and is about to reach the top spot.

In the eyes of Thomas and other family members, Jiangdong is a cornucopia and a cash cow that must be grasped no matter what.

In the face of a huge family and huge business interests, an individual's fate is not worth mentioning at all.

When the Rockefeller family was in North America, they would try their best to conceal the source of their technology to screen out other possible business competitors.

This time, the U.S. military and political circles sent an over-standard delegation to Peiping, and there were other families behind it who were adding fuel to the fire.

Regardless of the reaction of the Rockefeller family, the talks between Koto and the delegation officially began on August 8.

"Lieutenant Colonel Smith of the Navy, Commodore Hank of the Navy, Congressman Brown..."

After Kodong finished introducing himself, the U.S. side also began to introduce the main members of the delegation.

A brigadier general and a congressman, the standard of the delegation is indeed not low.

After introducing themselves, the American personnel stared at Jiangdong unceremoniously, their curious eyes not concealed at all.

Jiang Dong felt uncomfortable when they saw him, so he cleared his throat and said:

"Dear representatives, welcome to Peiping. I think what you have experienced these days has not disappointed you."

After the American delegation arrived in Peiping, they walked around and saw that industry was developing in full swing, commerce was prosperous, people's livelihood was stable, and the military was strictly disciplined...

They came to a conclusion,

Jiangdong is what people want!

After hearing what Jiangdong said, Congressman Brown responded:

"It is hard to imagine that such a stable North China was just liberated a month ago. The traces of the war have faded, and General Jiang is indeed worthy of his reputation.

The people in Peiping seem to live and work in more peace and contentment than those in the rear, and I saw confident smiles on their faces and eyes..."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Dong smiled heartily and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Brigadier General Hank always had a straight face, without any smile in his eyes.

After a few exchanges of pleasantries, Jiang Dong motioned to Wang Xueqin to ask:

"Brigadier General, Your Excellency, Congressman, your country is visiting North China with a delegation of this size. Can you tell me why?"

Congressman Brown smiled and looked at Brigadier General Hank, who looked at Jiangdong and asked:

"You invented penicillin and communication technology? I heard that you also provided some advanced weapons and equipment designs to the Soviet Union and the Third Reich?"

Facing the other party's cold eyes, Jiang Dong was not at all frightened, nor did the smile on his face diminish.

"Yes General.

I heard that technology is very profitable and advanced equipment is very useful."

After receiving a positive answer, Brigadier General Hank continued:

"I heard that you plan to buy warships from the United States. Before the formal talks, I hope you can know that the cost of building warships is unimaginably expensive.

The United States can sell warships, but do you have the money to buy them?"

"How much does a battleship cost?" Wang Xueqin asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Which level does it depend on?"

"North Carolina class battleship." Jiang Dong said, he also wanted to know the price.

Brigadier General Hank and Lieutenant Colonel Smith smiled contemptuously at the same time, and the latter said:

"North Carolina, the selling price is at least 80 million US dollars."

"Duoduo...how much?" Wang Xueqin's lips trembled a little,

"Eighty million dollars, or US dollars..."

He looked at Jiangdong in shock, then at several Americans, and quickly calculated in his mind how many silver dollars 80 million U.S. dollars would be worth.

One dollar is worth about 2.4 oceans.
