87,562 tons!
The quantity has increased again!
Uh...
It's okay, it's okay, it's only increased by less than 10%.
After a long sigh of relief, the uncle and others felt their heartbeats speeding up. The impact of this incident was too great, so great that he couldn't even accept it.
He even swallowed his saliva involuntarily, and at the same time, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
With so many military supplies, even Roosevelt had never been so generous.
As for General Jiang and others on the side, the expressions on their faces were even more strange, surprised, happy, excited... It's hard to imagine that a person's expression is so rich.
In fact, most of the others are the same, but the uncle is a little calmer, that is, sweat on his forehead, want to laugh, but force himself to hold it back.
"Mr. George, you are so good at joking."
"Joke?"
Looking at the uncle, George said seriously.
"Do you think I'm joking about this?" George said, looking up at the clock on the wall. "This batch of materials has set off from Italy seven days ago and has now safely passed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They will first sail to Havana, Cuba, where they will replenish oil and water, and then sail to Panama. If the country wants that batch of materials, my suggestion is to negotiate with the United States as soon as possible about the passage of aid materials to China through Panama, and of course there are also issues of transportation and escort in the later stage." The Panama Canal is the biggest obstacle for the fleet to enter the Pacific Ocean. After all, the Panama Canal is currently in a semi-closed state - only ships with permission from the United States can pass through the Panama Canal. Although Truman's relationship will definitely allow permission, there is no need to use that relationship. After all, there are many ways to pass through the Panama Canal, and the person in front of you can do it. "Of course, of course, I will handle these things as soon as possible, and I will never let Mr. George down."
At this time, the uncle of the state was very humble. After all, it was natural to be humble in front of a billionaire.
However, despite this, the uncle of the state still asked.
"Mr. George, do you have a list of supplies?"
Nodding, George asked the secretary to hand over a document. When the uncle of the state took the document, he was stunned as soon as he opened it.
"This...isn't it in English?"
"Sir, it should be German."
General Jiang looked over, took the document and started reading it. Looking through the supplies listed on the list, his brows frowned slightly.
"Mr. George, there are many German cars here."
Not only cars, but also half-track vehicles and tanks. These cars are currently in the country...cannot be transported in!
"Are there any problems?"
"No, no..."
The uncle-in-law shook his head repeatedly and gave General Jiang a look, but the other party seemed to ignore it and pointed to the list and asked.
"What model is this cannon and where is it produced?"
"Cannon."
"What about this one?"
"Cannon."
The simple and direct answer stunned General Jiang and others, while the uncle-in-law echoed on the side.
"Mr. George is right. It doesn't matter what model of cannon it is. What matters is that the shells fired by the cannon can kill the devils. Don't you think so, General Jiang?"
Closing the file, General Jiang ignored the uncle-in-law and gently pushed the file back. He asked softly.
"Mr. George, there is one thing I don't know if I should ask or not."
"You can ask it anyway."
"Mr. George, where did you get these arms?"
General Jiang asked this because he had never seen many of the models of these weapons. If those tens of thousands of rifles were not Kar.98K, he even suspected that they were fabricated models.
However, from the models of the MP717 (R) submachine guns and cannons, he vaguely guessed that these weapons were probably captured by the Germans from the Russians. After all, the calibers of those cannons were all Russian calibers.
General Jiang's question made everyone focus on George again.
Yes, who can get tens of thousands of tons of arms?
So many arms must have a source.
"Well, this, it's all..."
George said lightly.
"I picked it up."
"What!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The uncle who had just lit a cigarette stared at him blankly. The cigarette between his lips fell directly into his crotch. Even so, he didn't notice it.
"Picked it up, picked it up..."
Standing up suddenly.
"How is this possible!"
Facing everyone's questions, George explained.
"Well, I bought a batch of ships..."
...
After a while, the conference room fell into silence again, and everyone was speechless.
Buying a ship comes with arms...
Is there such a weird thing in the world?
It's ridiculous!
Looking at George, everyone had only one thought in their mind-this kid is so lucky!
"Mr. George is so lucky!"
As soon as the uncle finished speaking, Wang Peiji, who was sitting in the back row, followed up.
"This is also our luck for China! This batch of arms will be able to kill many devils when it is transported to the front line!"
"Haha, that's right, that's right,"
The crowd burst into laughter, as if at this moment, they had seen the scene of groups of devils dying in the artillery fire when this batch of weapons was transported to the country.
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the uncle of the king asked.
"Mr. George's donation of arms to support the war of resistance will be remembered by the compatriots of the whole country, but I don't know if Mr. George has any requirements?"
This is the most important thing. Although he said he donated, it is well known that this is not a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars of supplies, but tens of thousands of tons of military supplies!
This is the real topic.
This uncle of the king is a wise man.
"Well, I do have some requirements"
Nodding slightly, George said.
"These materials will be sent to India by my ship. I hope that my people will take care of them before they arrive in China. This requires coordinating a collection area in India."
"That's right. We will find a way to solve it."
"Also, it takes a lot of manpower to take care of the materials. I hope to hire a group of staff in China, preferably retired personnel from the Indian Army. After all, arms cannot be left without someone to take care of them."
"That's right. I will arrange it. There must be enough manpower to take care of so many materials. How about 800? If it's not enough, 1,000 people."
The answer of the uncle-in-law shocked George's heart and raised the corners of his mouth.
Okay!
The people are in hand!
Reasonable small requests have been made, but the real conditions may not have been mentioned yet? The uncle-in-law asked.
"I wonder if Mr. George has any other requests?"
"I bought a company in the UK, um, North Borneo Company,"
"North Borneo Company?"
Unlike everyone else's confusion, the uncle-in-law, who had a lot of contact with overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, certainly knew about this company, and was surprised.
"You bought North Borneo!"
At this time, the uncle-in-law's expression and words were full of surprise. Others didn't know, so how could he not know about the North Borneo Company? What kind of company is it? It's clearly a country!
"That's right."
George nodded and said,
"Before World War I, this company signed an immigration agreement with China to develop North Borneo. I hope that the country can continue to recognize the validity of the agreement and allow the company to recruit Chinese workers from all over China to develop Borneo."
