Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 342 Adding Money
The capital, the presidential residence.

The principal had just finished his visit to the Asaka Palace Prince of Japan when his wife came over.

"Darling, look at it, the Japanese prince is coming, how can he say that war will start at this time? I think Zhang Wenbai is alarmist, and he is talking about things that are based on rumors and rumors. He clearly wants to control the bigger world. Military power.”

"Let me think about this."

"What's there to think about? If the Japanese really start a war during their prince's visit, do they still want the face of the Japanese?"

Listening to Madam's words, the principal became more and more hesitant.

Although the principal is also very aware of the Japanese ambitions, subjectively the principal never wants to conflict with the Japanese.

This also makes the government's anti-Japanese war always in a passive state.

Some time ago, the intelligence given by Dai Chunfeng temporarily made the principal hesitate for a while and strongly supported Dai Chunfeng's spy suppression operation.

But not long after he stood still, the principal stretched his crotch again, otherwise he would not have agreed to let those Japanese spies back.

The madam wanted to say something else, but looking at President Song's face, she finally left the room.

Seeing that the principal had been persuaded by her, Madam felt a burst of joy in her heart.

Madam looked at President Song with some surprise, and then said with some joy:
"Did you also know that the Japanese prince was coming to visit, and then you stopped negotiating to purchase the aircraft?"

"What's the matter"

However, it does not sound good to talk about purchasing weapons and equipment to actively prepare for war when peace is restored.

The principal's attitude became more and more uncertain.

In the heart of your Excellency the principal, you have always had some illusions.

"Your Excellency, President Song would like to see you."

influence international outlook.

"Little sister, please go out for a moment. I have something to discuss with my brother-in-law."

Your Excellency, the principal, naturally knows what the "inappropriate act" his wife is talking about is, and it is nothing more than buying an airplane from an American.

"Zi Wen is here, let him in quickly."

"This."

Soon, President Song, who was dressed in a dusty appearance, walked in.

Regarding the information about this time, as Madam said, there is no real evidence for one thing, and the Japanese have been promoting peace for the other.

Didn't you see that both Huang Qiuyue and his son were shot, but the two main criminals, Nagumo Zouko and Nakano Sanji, have never been dealt with?

Just when the principal was about to speak, the attendant outside the door suddenly spoke.

"Brother, aren't you on the beach? Why are you back so suddenly?"

When Governor Song heard this, he frowned and then said:

Such a large amount of money can earn a large amount of interest if you save it for one more month. Why do you have to withdraw it at this time?

As Madam said, wouldn't the Japanese government's face be completely lost if it launches a war while its own prince is on a visit, or in the name of "peace"?
Seeing the hesitation on the principal's face, Madam continued to add to the anger:
"Darling, if nothing else, at least during the prince's visit, we shouldn't do anything inappropriate."

My wife has always been afraid of this big brother since she was a child. It can only be said that one thing is the best thing for another.

"Okay, Ziwen. Tell me, why did you suddenly come back from Shanghai?"

"I came back by plane this time. If I guessed correctly, my little sister just wanted to persuade you not to buy a plane yet, right?"

"Ah."

They are all from the same family, and the principal did not hide anything.

"I knew it was a woman's opinion."

President Song patted the armrest and then said:

"We must buy airplanes as soon as possible, and besides airplanes, we must buy as many other things as we can."

Hearing this, the principal's expression changed.

"Zi Wen, what news did you hear?"

"When I was discussing business with the American consul in Shanghai, I met Mr. Hall. I spent $50,000 and got concrete information from him. The Japanese were indeed preparing to go to war and asked the Americans to cut off peace. Our trade lines.”

"Really?"

"Indeed. According to Hall, he would not have disclosed the information originally, but this time the Japanese leaked the information, so it would not be considered a breach of contract for him to sell the information."

Hearing President Song's words, the principal's expression suddenly changed, and then he seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Hall, can you tell me the specific date?"

Governor Song shook his head and said:

"No, according to Hall, he doesn't know when the Japanese will take action. Their agreement will take effect after the Japanese take action."

"So, we don't have much time, is that right?"

President Song nodded and said:

"That's right, that's why I took a special flight back to state this matter to you face to face."

"Zi Wen, you have your heart." "Don't dare."

President Song continued:

"I think that under such circumstances, we should try our best to purchase more military supplies before the Americans close trade channels."

The principal nodded and said:
"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you. We need the Americans to transport the goods as soon as possible, otherwise once the war breaks out, these things will be intercepted by the Japanese."

Hearing this, President Song's face darkened.

"what happened?"

"These Americans have figured this out, so their asking price is much higher than usual."

President Song felt that this was the reason why Hall would sell the information to him. Under such a crisis, the government is unable to resist the Americans' request for more money.

Hearing President Song's words, the principal's face turned red for a long time, and finally he could only say three words:

"Niang Xipi!"

After a while, the principal's mood calmed down, and then he began to discuss the specific purchase list with President Song.

Airplanes come first, no doubt about that.

As for the rest, most of them are oil, rubber tires and the like.

Because heavy weapons cannot be exported, even if the government wants to buy some of the weapons that the principal is keen on, the United States will not sell them.

As for light weapons, you can buy them, but when ammunition is not universal, it is better to buy light weapons from Americans than from Germans.

So after discussing the purchase list for the United States, the two discussed the purchase of additional supplies from Germany.

This conversation lasted almost a day.

"Zi Wen, please stay and have dinner."

"No, I'll leave now, fly to the beach, and finalize the order with the Americans as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

President Song simply rejected the principal's request to stay.

As a capable man of action, although Governor Song was squeezed out of the position of Minister of Finance by the Kong family, he was still very concerned about the state government.

For example, the tax police corps, which he single-handedly runs, has a number of 20,000, and they are all elite troops with well-equipped weapons.

Its combat effectiveness is even greater than that of the German weapon master.

Because President Song knows very well that in today's chaotic world, only force in hand is the foundation of everything.

This is why, after he confirmed the authenticity of the information from Hall, he immediately flew back to the capital.

Looking at this brother-in-law who is busy working for the government, the principal is also filled with emotion.

After thinking about it, he decided to send it to President Song personally.

After sending President Song to the long-awaited car, the principal suddenly asked before closing the car door:
"If the Japanese start a war during the visit of King Jinyan of Asaka Palace, do they really not care about the royal dignity at all?"

Upon hearing the principal's question, President Song understood in his heart that the principal still had some illusions.

But this question is really difficult for President Song to answer.

After thinking for a long time, President Song could only shake his head and said:

"For such important military and national events, we can only believe in the existence of the situation rather than the non-existence of it. After all, if you make even a half-step mistake, you will lose everything."

"Hiss~ Zi Wen, you are right. Slow down on the road and pay attention to safety."

"Then I'll leave first."

Soon, the car door closed and the car drove all the way towards the Capital Airport.

Only the principal was left hesitant:
"Are they really ignoring international concerns? If they really want to start a war, our allies will be shocked!"

Japan, Tokyo.

In the Asaka Palace, King Jinyan was having an interview with Akira Muto, the then chief of the Third Section of the Army Staff Department.

"Chief Muto, if you go out to paralyze the Chinese people under the banner of the imperial family, I am naturally willing to cooperate with you. But if you start a war during my visit, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of the imperial family."

"Your Highness, don't worry, we have already prepared for this."

Muto Akira said confidently:

"First of all, we will ensure that it is China that started the war.

Secondly, Your Highness, you can completely delay your trip. After all, all we need is to delay and paralyze the other party. No matter what happens, you can stay in the daily concession in Shanghai and not go out.

As long as you don't go outside the scope of the Japanese Concession, you are still in the territory of our Empire of Japan, so naturally it doesn't count as a visit, right? "

Hearing this, King Yanyan showed a smile on his face.

"Professor Muto, you are such a smart person."

"Thank you for the compliment, His Royal Highness."
