Chapter 28

Originally, the White House disdained Liu Shaolong's request to purchase an aircraft carrier. After hearing that Liu Shaolong was going to lease, his attitude changed instantly.

Purchasing an aircraft carrier is impossible.

At the beginning, officials came forward to discuss this matter with Liu Shaolong. However, after a long time, both sides understood the other party’s intentions, so naturally there was no need to discuss it.

The White House’s meaning is obvious. They just want to use Liu Shaolong’s idea of ​​buying an aircraft carrier and sell the abandoned aircraft carrier they have damaged to Liu Shaolong.

Liu Shaolong's purpose is also very clear. What he wants is a complete aircraft carrier that can start action warfare.

Different purposes and different needs. If you can’t talk about it in one place, you will naturally not be able to talk about it.

Liu Shaolong has now changed his mind and started over.

He submitted the idea of ​​leasing an aircraft carrier to the White House. Of course, the other party was still unwilling, but compared with his previous tough attitude, it has been eased to a certain extent.

What they are worried about now is that if Liu Shaolong gets the aircraft carrier and turns to attack the United States, wouldn’t he shoot himself in the foot?

Even if the United States does not attack, if the aircraft carrier's manufacturing technology is stolen during the lease period, it will be a greater loss.

Compared with the benefits they can get, the risks they are taking this time are really too great.

Liu Shaolong worked hard and ran around through the channels of people from all walks of life. After more than a month, the White House finally accepted the proposal.

So, when they made an appointment to the White House to prepare for negotiations.

Negotiations are like wars without gunpowder. Before the negotiations are formal, the flames of war have already burned and spread.

As soon as we met, neither side had sat down before they even entered the seat, officials representing the White House took out a document and handed it to Liu Shaolong.

"Mr. Liu, this is the premise for deciding whether we should continue to talk."

Liu Shaolong reached out to take the document.

He stood there, read all of them, and then signed without hesitation.

This is a statement document that describes many constraints regarding the leasing of aircraft carriers.

Some of them are promises, such as not being enemies of the United States for life, and some require that once the lease time limit is reached, they must be returned immediately.

The most important point is to allow the US government to install a small nuclear warhead on the aircraft carrier (the location is confidential).

This is the ultimate precautionary measure taken by the US government.

Although Liu Shaolong was very dissatisfied, he had no choice. In order to obtain the right to use the aircraft carrier, he had no right to be picky and could only choose to bow his head.

After signing this statement, Liu Shaolong and his side officially sat down.

Negotiations officially begin.

The government has brought considerable conditions.

They can be said to have agreed to lease, but the conditions are very heavy.

Andrew, who was sitting next to Liu Shaolong, said it was okay. The other party was not here to negotiate a deal, but to blackmail.

Liu Shaolong also brought his own powerful helper group. There are financial, literary, educational, scientific research, etc., but there is only one political one...

………I was sitting opposite me and was having a dispute with myself.

This is a difficult negotiation. The White House administration wants to make this money again and does not want to take any risks. At the same time, it also requires Liu Shaolong to meet their various requirements.

This was an unequal transaction. Liu Shaolong knew this very well, so the purpose of his helper group was also very clear.

That's bargaining!

From morning until late at night.

At three o'clock in the morning, Liu Shaolong signed a bunch of names on a large stack of documents.

Seeing the other party leaving with these documents, Liu Shaolong shook hands with the other party.

Eleven fighter jets and an aircraft carrier, Liu Shaolong finally got what he planned.

With the fighter jets he had bought before, he already had twelve ones.

Two aircraft that exceeded the initial ten aircraft!

The handover is scheduled for Christmas.

Liu Shaolong came to the beach as scheduled. He personally drove the first fighter jet he had purchased earlier and landed on this behemoth.

All the staff of the aircraft carrier did not move in the original shift and all followed Liu Shaolong, which was also one of the conditions proposed by the other party.

What the other party thought was that the driving power of the aircraft carrier was still controlled by their own people, so that they could be more at ease.

In fact, Liu Shaolong is very happy to do this, otherwise it would take a lot of time and energy to find a bunch of people and teach them how to operate.

There is only half a year left before the Eighteen-Stage Tragedy, and time is already very urgent.

Back in New York, Liu Shaolong said goodbye to Zach, Smith and others, and then said goodbye to those friends who gave him great help.

On January 5, 1941, Liu Shaolong boarded the aircraft carrier and left the United States.

Before leaving, he exchanged all the remaining money for gold, but unexpectedly, he had two hundred kilograms more than when he came.

The huge steel body of the aircraft carrier gallops between the wind and waves, crossing the Pacific Ocean horizontally and reaching the other shore.

He rushed into the Yangtze River all the way, and finally near the mouth of the Jialing River, he and Shifrog boarded a boat and sailed to the shore.

The two walked back to Chongqing.

Shifrog immediately went to find his mother, and Liu Shaolong accompanied him.

But when they returned to the end of the alley, there was already ruins in front of them. Liu Shaolong's sold house and Shifrog's house were all razed.

Shifrog burst into tears. He cried and rushed forward, rumbling around the ruins, without reason.

"Mom--Mom-Where are you, Mom--"

Liu Shaolong frowned. He did not go to accompany Shifow to climb over the ruins, but turned his head and walked out of the alley.

After walking back and forth twice, I finally found the Shifrog Girl who was having dinner at Madonzi's house, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled the aunt up and walked towards the ruins.

"Longwa, are you back? Where is my stone frog?" the aunt asked nervously.

This chaos is so chaotic that it is easy for people to think about the bad side involuntarily.

He led the aunt to the ruins. The stone frog was crying and his nose was hanging. When he heard Liu Shaolong scream, he turned around and saw that his mother was still fine, he rushed over.

"Mom, my son is unfilial, my son is unfilial."

The aunt hugged the stone frog and gently patted his back to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to come back, it's good to come back."

My son was worried about his mother who was walking for thousands of miles. Liu Shaolong's eyes were wet. When he went to Yangcheng, his parents were worried about this!

In the days ahead, he really won't leave. He will accompany the two elders.

"My son won't leave, he will never leave again."

Madonko and his wife, who followed behind, wiped their tears when they saw the mother and son reunion.

Then, Madonzi called a few people back for dinner.

This Madonzi is the son of Shiwa's uncle, and he is still Shiwa's cousin.

During a bombing in March last year, the houses sold by Shiwa family and Liu Shaolong were all blown up. Fortunately, Shiwa girl remembered Liu Shaolong's advice and immediately fled to a place with few people when she heard the sound of the plane and hid.

That's why people are fine.

Later, Madonko and his wife learned about the aunt. The two of them took the aunt to their home without hesitation. They took the aunt to their homes together to take care of the old man...

A group of people had lunch with them with a happy heart.

In the afternoon, Liu Shaolong was going out.

Shiwa originally wanted to accompany Liu Shaolong, but in his opinion, he was Liu Shaolong's anti-Japanese comrade.

However, Liu Shaolong asked him to stay and accompany the aunt.
