Chapter 27

November 7, 1939.

Liu Shaolong once again advanced his plan.

He made an appointment with a member of parliament for dinner.

The location is a well-known restaurant in New York, and you need to make an appointment two months in advance to have a location.

Liu Shaolong holds 80% of the shares in this restaurant, so he made up his mind during the day and booked a seat at night.

The agreed 6:45, and the MP arrived at 6:30, and Liu Shaolong was five minutes earlier than him.

Liu Shaolong sent Shifrog and Zach away, and only two people were left in the box, he and the congressman.

The dinner lasted for a long time, the dishes were delicious, the red wine was very mellow, and the chat seemed to be very happy.

Finally, Liu Shaolong saw him off to the restaurant door and sent the congressman into the car, which made Zach drive over.

When he returned to his residence, Liu Shaolong sat at the desk in the study, silent and without saying a word.

Liu Shaolong’s current residence is the richest villa area in New York.

In fact, it doesn’t matter where he lives. He has never lived in Yangcheng. But in the next plan, he needs to deal with senior political leaders and need such a property that demonstrates his identity.

"What's going on?" Shifow walked into Liu Shaolong's room and asked anxiously.

Liu Shaolong shook his head. This matter was much more difficult than he thought.

"They are unwilling to sell?" Shifow asked.

"We want to buy fighter jets, and this matter is not something that a member of parliament can decide. This time I asked him for a while, just inquire. Unexpectedly, things are much more troublesome than we thought."

Shifow did not understand Liu Shaolong's meaning very much, but he understood one thing. It is not a simple matter to save the country.

"Stone frog, clean up, we will go to Washington tomorrow." Liu Shaolong said seriously.

If he was going to buy other guns, ammunition and weapons, even if the number was larger, it would not be too difficult to have his current status.

But what he wanted to buy was an airplane or a fighter. He did not have the connections and diplomatic background like Mrs. Song.

In the eyes of the US government, he is just a businessman. A businessman does not need too much force and equipment, it is enough to have a gangster.

When he arrived in Washington, Liu Shaolong had already asked someone to take care of everything. As soon as he arrived at the place, he directly made an appointment with the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense.

When the deputy minister heard Liu Shaolong's request, his head shaking like a rattle.

"Liu, why don't you buy a helicopter? It's comfortable and you don't have to drive it yourself." The deputy minister suggested.

Liu Shaolong said seriously: "Sir, I want to help my motherland."

The deputy minister's expression froze.

"Oh~ My Liu, you should leave these to the generals of your motherland to take care of. You are a natural capitalist."

Another meeting without results.

Meet again and again.

In just two months, Liu Shaolong spent more than one million US dollars in Washington to meet everyone he could meet.

Finally, a fighter jet purchase program was successfully signed.

I took half of the shares in the oil field and a lot of US dollars.

In fact, the amount of US dollars alone is enough to buy this fighter jet, but the government is not willing to let go. So Liu Shaolong simply let go and half of the oil field right was regarded as a handling fee.

He built a simple airport, which didn't cost much money. Anyway, he just used it temporarily.

Soon, a brand new fighter jet was transported. Liu Shaolong signed a large number of agreements, including agreements on flight areas, flight duration and flight altitude within US airspace.

The next day, Liu Shaolong brought a pilot.

The other party tested the flight and confirmed that the plane was fine. Liu Shaolong directly signed the person, and this person became Liu Shaolong's first pilot.

This person used to serve in the Air Force and had certain practical experience and driving skills. Liu Shaolong met with him through a Chinese professor.

In the next six months, Liu Shaolong spent all his time training pilots except for continuing to develop the economy.

He recruited retired air force and gave them great benefits to practice with this fighter. At the same time, Liu Shaolong also learned to fly the fighter under the guidance of these pilots.

August 1940.

Liu Shaolong thought he should be ready to return to China, so he began his last plan in the United States.

He dealt with a large number of industries and exchanged them all for US dollars.

The amount of US dollars in his bank account is growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition to leaving some of the industries that make a living in the slums, Liu Shaolong also left a sum of money for Zach and several others to continue to lead other black people to develop.

Finally, Liu Shaolong came to Washington again with a few oil fields.

This time his purpose is not only fighter jets, but also aircraft carriers.

Japanese aircraft have special aircraft carriers, so they are difficult to strike.

Thinking back to the plot of the bombing, the Kuomintang army's airport was sneak attacked by Japanese planes. However, the Kuomintang army had no chance to sneak attack Japanese airports.

Because the fixed airport location is easy to be exposed, once exposed, after being bombed by the other party, the entire army will be wiped out.

There is no difference between the fighter planes parked on the ground and the fish on the chopping board.

To prevent this from happening, an aircraft carrier is needed.

Liu Shaolong had already made enough money to buy fighter jets just one year after he arrived in the United States. His target was to cross the new American fighter jets.

But it wasn't enough to have fighter planes alone. So he spent so long to continue making money, and now he finally barely earned enough money to buy an aircraft carrier.

I don’t know how many times it is to buy an aircraft carrier than a fighter. But Liu Shaolong is determined to be the one who must get it.

After experiencing the difficulties of buying fighter jets, he has been accumulating connections over the past year. Now, it is time to make all these connections work.

In November, Liu Shaolong worked hard through various relationships for three months, but it was still useless. No matter how much price he offered, the US government always refused.

They were willing to sell him a complete faulty aircraft carrier at 80% of the price offered by Liu Shaolong.

How can this work? Liu Shaolong doesn’t know how to repair it, he wants a good aircraft carrier that can be activated.

Liu Shaolong knew very well that the other party was worried that he would steal their aircraft carrier technology.

Today, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can build aircraft carriers. As long as the aircraft carrier is built, the control of both airspace and territorial waters will be unprecedentedly improved.

In other words, with aircraft carriers, long-range air combat is possible.

Faced with the US government's stalemate, Liu Shaolong, with the determination to not give up until he succeeded, continued to open up a path with very low chances of success through his own connections.

Leasing aircraft carriers.

This was proposed by a writer friend, who suggested that Liu Shaolong think in another direction, such as leasing.
