Chapter 133 Zhang Chi: In the future, won’t I be included in the “Tongliao Mouse’s Weird Small Count
What was the United States of White Eagle like during the reign of that great man in a wheelchair?
At this time, the White Eagle has the strength to sit on the top spot in the world and become the number one player, but in terms of reputation, the ancient European countries still think they are superior and look down on the emerging White Eagle.
Therefore, although the White Eagle people were a little proud at this time, they were absolutely pragmatic in doing things. After all, their country was in a period of growth.
So when Zhang Chi met Jason, the director of the Intelligence Department of the Office of Strategic Services, although this white man still had some habitual arrogance, he kept a very humble attitude.
"Forgive me for coming uninvited, General Zhang." Jason, who was waiting in a small room, enthusiastically extended his hand to shake hands with Zhang Chi who had come in. "But before we invest in something, we always have to see its quality with our own eyes, right?"
"You sound like a banker on Wall Street. But you are from the OSS, right? As far as I know, you are living a very tight life under Hoover's suppression." Zhang Chi sat down with a big carriage and responded bluntly.
He knew very well that facing these White Eagles who only cared about profit, a moderate degree of aggression would be more effective: "Invest in me? Your Strategic Intelligence Agency has neither the money nor the qualifications, right?"
Jason, despite being questioned, remained undeterred. He grinned, "Of course it's not just the OSS. I'm here on behalf of the bigwigs in the Special Zone to help you and your Anti-Japanese Autonomous Committee."
"Oh?" Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows. The Intelligence Bureau that works for the interests of the Intelligence Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau that works for the interests of Commander Luo are two different concepts. It seems that his worries about the awakening agent are unnecessary.
"So what does DC think of a small figure like me?" Zhang Chi felt that as long as he was not just a dog for the White Eagles, cooperation like with Stevenson, where both parties got what they wanted, was still acceptable.
"This is a chain-like interlocking concept..." Jason handed Zhang Chi a Cuban cigar, trimmed it for him, and lit it before speaking.
"I've seen your army these days. To be honest, I'm shocked by their equipment. Except for the lack of trucks and howitzers, they are no less capable than our White Eagle Army's infantry division." The intelligence officers Jason sent earlier only worked together in Xinwangping. He also believed that Zhang Chi only had more than 2 troops near the base.
"However, I've noticed their numbers are a bit small. There are at least 30 Fuso troops in the entire Nanyang region. Even in Pegu, the intelligence we've gathered indicates that the Fuso are increasing their forces to 12. If the Fuso launch a large-scale attack on your empire, you won't have enough troops."
"So?" Zhang Chi puffed out smoke, unmoved.
The good thing about a long civilization is that you've seen everything.
He was very familiar with Jason's routine. Countless counselors of the Qian Kingdom had done the same thing in history. They would first exaggerate the current difficulties to their lord, and then come up with a clever plan to solve the problem, playing the psychological suspension bridge effect.
"As the saying goes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Our banker is willing to provide you with a low-interest loan of 5000 million dollars so that you can fully purchase White Eagle equipment and issue military salaries to expand your army." Sure enough, after Jason finished talking about the difficulties, he immediately took out the magic trick he had prepared long ago - money!
"How much? 5000 million dollars?" Although Zhang Chi was prepared, he was still shocked.
What does 5000 million dollars mean?
This isn't the kind of knife used after a flood in later times; this knife is made of real gold. Because of the gold standard, theoretically, it can be exchanged for 5 kilograms of pure gold, or 50 tons of gold.
Zhang Chi really had a direct feeling of the wealth of the White Eagle people. As a military fan, he remembered that the current cost of an M4 Sherman tank was 33 US dollars (3.3 kilograms of gold). If all the tanks could be bought with 5000 million US dollars, 1500 tanks could be bought.
If you exchange it for gold, you can redeem 5000 Tier III gold vehicles from the system, including tanks, aircraft, and submarine chasers. (Just think about it, White Eagle only gives money, not gold)
And a major weapon of a great power like the Essex-class aircraft carrier only costs $7700 million.
"So what's the cost, Mr. Jason?" Zhang Chi put down his cigar and sat up straight. If the cost wasn't too high, he planned to spend the $5000 million on a three-year plan to build a foundation for industry, basic education, healthcare, and agriculture.
"Simple. This is the ingenuity of this chain-linked interlocking concept." Seeing Zhang Chi take the bait, Jason said calmly, "This $50 million is just the first loan. The collateral is the 20-year mining rights for all the mines in the area you control."
"The lender is Citibank, and we hope the recipient will be the Anti-Japanese Autonomous Committee you've organized. As you liberate more territory in Pegu and acquire more valuable collateral, we're willing to extend you a second and third low-interest loan. Citibank has $3 million ready for you, and we look forward to the day you liberate all of Pegu."
"Oh, by the way, as a thank you for your help in facilitating this loan, I'll give you a 3% commission in your personal account at Citibank when the deal is completed. Don't worry, with that gentleman's special signature, the commission is tax-free."
Jason smiled faintly. "Look, borrow money, expand the army, fight the Japanese devils, then borrow more money, expand more army, and fight more Japanese devils. Simple, direct, and you will benefit too. What do you think?"
After listening to Jason's words, Zhang Chi cursed inwardly: "If I didn't have a system, I would have really become a dog of you, the United States of America."
Before traveling through time, Zhang Chi was very fond of a video blogger named "Tongliao Haozi". His "Weird Little Country" series of videos left a deep impression on him.
At first he was wondering why most of the people in power in these weird little countries were anthropomorphic creatures and what they did was inhuman. Now he sees that it was all your fault, White Eagle.
When the John people came to Pegu to colonize, they certainly did not come to do good deeds, but to plunder resources. So the gold mines, gem mines, and coal mines that they control now are said to be enemy properties liberated from the Japanese, but in fact they are all the properties of the John people.
Now White Eagle wants to take away these resources that represent the country's future with 5000 million dollars? Then the John people will indeed be driven out of the colony, but the emperor will become a White Eagle person.
Zhang Chi absolutely disagrees with this behavior.
"We need more money. The first loan of $5000 million is too little. It needs to be at least $1 million!"
