    ¡°Then we recruited 100 retired US Air Force pilots and 200 mechanics or ground staff. For this, Zhong Yi needed to pay a monthly salary of US$40,000.

    ? ? Mechanics and ground crews earn half as much as pilots.

    With everything settled, Zhong Yi was ready to return to the West Coast. However, before leaving New York, an invitation letter from the White House was delivered to Zhong Yi.

    U.S. President Roosevelt finally invited Zhong Yi to meet.

    Of course, Zhong Yi was happy to attend the appointment. He also wanted to meet this legendary president.

    ¡°In the history of the United States for more than two hundred years, there is only one president who has been elected for four consecutive terms, and there is no other semicolon.

    The next morning, Zhong Yi specially changed into a brand-new military uniform and came to the Oval Office of the White House.

    "General Zhong, I am deeply honored to hear that you have come to the United States." Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and asked his secretary to push him over from behind his desk, smiling and extending his hand to Zhong Yi.

    Zhong Yi also smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently shook hands with Roosevelt.

    "I have actually met with you a long time ago." Roosevelt spread his hands and said, "It's just that I've been too busy with the work at hand recently, so I haven't been able to spare the time."

    "Is it about the election?" Zhong Yi asked with a smile.

    "Ah, yes, yes." Roosevelt smiled and pointed at Zhong Yi, and then said, "General Zhong, you have created a powerful opponent for me. You may not know that Senator McConaughey's  The approval ratings are now on par with mine, and if you stay in the United States for another month, I might be behind in the approval ratings, haha.¡±

    "So I'm leaving." Zhong Yi smiled, "I firmly believe that you will be re-elected."

    "Really? That's really a blessing from you." Roosevelt was slightly surprised.

    Speaking of this, Roosevelt suddenly remembered something and asked his secretary to take out a gift box from his drawer.

    Roosevelt took the gift box, opened it, took out a medal from inside, and motioned for Zhong Yi to come forward. Zhong Yi took a step forward and bent slightly, and Roosevelt personally pinned the medal on Zhong Yi's chest.

    "This is the medal of honorary citizenship of the United States." Roosevelt smiled, "In recognition of your contribution to the American people and American industry, you deserve this honor."

    "Thank you." Zhong Yi bowed his head slightly in thanks.

    It¡¯s so stingy, it¡¯s just a medal.

    This time, Zhong Yi placed an order worth up to US$75 million to an American arms manufacturer, including a complete set of equipment for 40 mechanics, 500 P-40 Tomahawk fighter jets, and a large number of supporting aircraft parts.  Accessories, in addition to aviation ammunition for the two congresses.

    Of the 75 million U.S. dollars, 51 million U.S. dollars were the proceeds from the cashing out of Yinfa Bank shares, 12 million U.S. dollars were the remuneration for the first two volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire and the fourth volume of Harry Potter, and the rest were the proceeds from fundraising and Zhang Mouzhi¡¯s gift to his daughter  Zhong Yi really emptied his family's fortune this time and even overdrafted the dowry.

    Zhong Yi paid so much, but Roosevelt only gave him an Honorary Citizen Medal.

    But even so, Zhong Yi decided to be a good person again and give him a piece of advice.

    "Your Excellency, there is something I think it is necessary to tell you." Before leaving, Zhong Yi said to Roosevelt sincerely, "The Japanese are not trustworthy. You must be vigilant."

    "Of course, of course." Roosevelt suddenly winked at Zhong Yi.

    Seeing Roosevelt's expression, Zhong Yi suddenly felt horrified.

    Before this, Zhong Yi actually didn¡¯t believe in conspiracy theories, but now he does.

    Perhaps before the Pearl Harbor incident, the U.S. intelligence community already knew the news, so it allowed two aircraft carriers, which are crucial to the Pacific Fleet, to leave Pearl Harbor in advance. As for why not more warships, especially large-tonnage ones, were not allowed to  The battleships followed and left, firstly to avoid making the Japanese suspicious, and secondly to sting the people at home.

    "How can we arouse people's anger unless tens of thousands of people die and pay a heavy price?"

    As for the loss of Pearl Harbor, it is nothing to the United States, which has a strong industrial base.

    Thinking of this, Zhong Yi didn¡¯t want to say anything. He just wanted to leave this white building as soon as possible.

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Mouzhi put Zhong Yi on the train and gave instructions.

    Zhang Mouzhi cannot return to China for the time being, because in addition to investing in Curtiss Company, he has also invested in several other arms companies. Their products range from aircraft, tanks, artillery to rifles, which can be said to be all-encompassing.

    ? ?Of course, Zhang Mouzhi really listened to Zhong Yi's words and believed that the United States would eventually join the war, so the U.S. arms dealers would surely experience a wave of rapid development, so he did not hesitate to bet all his wealth on this.

    In addition to the US$5 million he brought from the United States this time, Zhang Mouzhi also sent a telegram asking Zhang Yuanxi to separate the assets of Yinjiang's construction company and obtain them from Yinfa Bank and Citibank for mortgage. He also took out a loan of US$5 million, and then  All the US$10 million was used to invest in American arms companies.

    Zhang Mouzhi stayed in the United States and did not go back, firstly to take care of business, and secondly to follow orders for Zhong Yi.

    With such a large arms order, of course there must be a reliable person following it, otherwise who can rest assured?  Otherwise, if the Battle of Yinjiang starts over there, but the equipment here is delayed, it will be a big event.

    "Zi Ren, when you meet Manyi, tell her that I'm sorry for me. As a grandfather, I can't bear the loss of my child's birth. It's really derelict in my duty." Zhang Mouzhi said.

    Zhong Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I may not even be able to make it in time."

    Zhang Manyi was pregnant in February, and now it is the end of October. She will give birth soon.

    ¡°It would take at least twenty days for Zhong Yi to take a train to the West Coast and then board a ship from San Francisco to return to China. Therefore, by the time Zhong Yi returned to Hong Kong, the child was likely to have been born.

    Zhong Yi added: "I really should have returned to China earlier."

    "It's not your fault, I can't blame you." Zhang Mouzhi comforted Zhong Yi in turn, "You are not fooling around outside, but you are working hard for the country and the nation. This is how a man should be, and Man Yi will definitely do it.  I understand, no, she will definitely be proud of you."

    Zhong Yi nodded and continued: "Dad, you must keep an eye on Curtis Company and Winchester Company, and make sure they send out the semi-finished ordnance parts and aircraft on time! One month later, ten  The semi-finished parts of the division¡¯s art equipment must be sent to the Zhenhai Port Terminal, and 50 P-40 fighter jets must also be sent to Myanmar.¡±

    The semi-finished parts of the art equipment will be disguised as hardware, sent to Yinjiang for processing into finished products, and then sent to Jinhua and Chongqing for distribution by Yu Liangzhen and Principal Chang. However, 50 P-40 fighter jets and the subsequent 450 fighter jets will  , you cannot take this route, but must transfer via the British Air Force Base in Myanmar.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
