Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Chapter 715 If You Can’t Talk, Then Don’t Talk

At night, Li Yunlong took a look at Duan Peng, whose nose and eyes were swollen, and glared at him fiercely: "Serves you right!"

The incident started when Monk Wei wanted to make a tiger-head hat. Duan Peng was teaching him and asked him to make one according to the size of his head.

Then, Monk Wei, who had lost his brain when he knew Xiaohua was pregnant, actually started to get busy according to the size of his head.

"Hey hey hey!"

Duan Peng chuckled, and Li Yunlong slapped him and said, "The monks all have descendants, what about you?"

"Commander, I'm not in a hurry. My mother has already found someone for me in the village. I'll just wait..."

Before Duan Peng could finish his words, Li Yunlong kicked him and interrupted him: "You are so young, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go to work."

"Commander, I'm not on duty today. I need to go kill someone."

"Who?"

"Monk Wei told me that this is the person you want to get rid of. His name is Xie Ruolin, the one who came to the headquarters this afternoon."

When Xie Ruolin was mentioned, Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Go ahead, and be careful!"

"Okay!"

Xie Ruolin was just an ant to Li Yunlong, but since he had met him, he just crushed him to death. This guy was an intelligence broker who would do anything for money.

He had sold out intelligence of the Kuomintang army and also sold out a lot of intelligence of our army, so Li Yunlong didn't plan to keep him when he met him. After all, many underground workers had sacrificed their lives because of him.

Xie Ruolin is a very qualified intelligence broker. He works seriously and responsibly with the mentality that money is the most important thing and he will do anything for as long as the money is enough.

So after he left Li Yunlong's command center, he immediately used the Military Control Commission's telegram to send a message to Hans, telling Hans Li Yunlong's purpose.

Hans felt that Li Yunlong's request was a bit too much, but there was nothing he could do. The order was given by the little mustache himself. In order to carry out the little mustache's order, Hans had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong did not have much psychological burden about selling a piece of technology to Desan. In fact, it was not just Li Yunlong. Except for fighting each other, all countries basically had some exchanges.

The most typical example is that while the lower-level soldiers in the mountain city were fighting a desperate battle with the Japanese, those above them were constantly engaging in various business dealings with the Japanese. Vehicles transporting supplies from the Military Control Commission could pass through the Japanese blockade unimpeded, and similarly, large quantities of food purchased by the Japanese in the mountain city could also be swaggered out and into the Japanese-occupied areas.

After Germany and the United States declared war on each other, IBM continued to provide Germany with advanced time clock data processing technology for Germany to manage prisoners in concentration camps.

The Associated Press, after receiving instructions from the top, collaborated with the SS to take photos of the SS. These photos were then reviewed by the SS before being published by the Associated Press. The price the Associated Press paid for this was revealing some of the Allied military operations.

In addition, there is the oil trade between the United States and Germany. Even at this critical juncture in 1944, the United States was still supplying oil to Germany through the neutral country Switzerland. Later, it felt that this was a bit too open, so it changed to supplying oil from Spain. The amount of oil provided was about 48,000 tons per month, and more than 1,000 tons of strategic materials.

In fact, even without Li Yunlong, the Americans were secretly restoring Germany III and using Germany III to make the European continent even more fragmented.

Hans and Li Yunlong didn't meet directly. Instead, they each chose a trustworthy agent to handle the matter. Li Yunlong asked the brigade commander to find a person specializing in supplies. Eventually, the two sides agreed on a price. De San took Li Yunlong's missile data in exchange for gold and some technology transfers.

However, after completing the negotiations with De San, Li Yunlong was not in a hurry to give away the missile technology directly. Li Yunlong was well aware of De San's intelligence capabilities. If he gave away the technology now, his remaining two major sponsors might not have to buy from him and could directly buy from De San for free.

John Bull also sent people to purchase missile technology.

Compared to the Russians, Li Yunlong felt that John Bull was the real money bag, having plundered the world's wealth for over two hundred years. Although he suffered a wave of losses during World War I, it only exposed his health bar. After the end of World War II, his health bar was half depleted, and after the war, he was sucked dry by the Americans for another twenty or thirty years before his health bar was completely drained.

So when Li Yunlong met the British representative, he directly offered ten tons of gold, or the equivalent in US dollars.

"General Li Yunlong, your price is too outrageous. We cannot accept it!"

The person who came with John Bull was also John Bull’s ambassador to the mountain city, named Xue Mu.

Xue Mu is most famous for signing the new Sino-British treaty with Shancheng, abolishing some of John Bull's privileges in our country in the "Xin Chou Treaty", including the concessions in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places.

When Shancheng promoted this treaty, it called it a major diplomatic victory, claiming that we had gained recognition from the international community, etc. However, in later generations, even those who praised the National Army did not mention it, or if they did, they would be ridiculed.

The reason is very simple. The areas involved in the unequal treaties abolished in the new Sino-British Treaty were all areas that had been occupied by the Japanese. In fact, John Bull had completely lost those concessions. Then the Americans put pressure on him, and John Bull simply gave up.

At the same time, the mountain city had to continue to expand the scale of the expeditionary force. In plain words, John Bull got something for nothing by using the local privileges he had lost to get the mountain city to send troops to protect their territory, and then the mountain city would celebrate with singing and dancing.

Moreover, when the new Sino-British treaty was signed, Shancheng wanted to take back the child who had been away from home for a long time, but they became intimidated by John Bull's glare and did not dare to bring it up again. When John Bull was already unable to take care of himself, they did not dare to be tough, let alone after the war.

Listening to Xue Mu's words, Li Yunlong crossed his legs and looked at him and said, "Is ten tons of gold a lot? Your country has stolen more gold from us than this, right?"

Seeing Li Yunlong's nonchalant look, not taking him seriously at all, Xue Mu suddenly stood up and said, "Li Yunlong, if this is your attitude, then let's not talk anymore!"

"If we can't talk, then forget it. We won't be the ones getting bombed anyway. As an anti-fascist ally, I have a new report here that you can take a look at!"

Li Yunlong casually tossed a report to Xue Mu. "De San also sent people here to steal this technology. I know where they are, but I can choose whether to arrest them or not. If the technology is accidentally stolen, don't blame me."

Chapter 716 I Want These Places

Li Yunlong trimmed his nails as he spoke.

Li Yunlong will be more secretive when it comes to the Americans or the Russians. After all, the Americans are currently too strong and it is not suitable to make enemies with them. Li Yunlong also needs the Americans to provide him with various support.

The Russian bear is still being kept in the dark for the time being, so it will try to maintain it as long as possible. It will not be too late to turn against China when the day comes when it can no longer wear the mask.

As for John Bull? He was a lost dog that couldn't take care of himself anymore, so Li Yunlong didn't need to pamper him.

As for revenge?

John Bull would not have the strength to retaliate, let alone now. Even after the war, John Bull would not have the ability to retaliate. Even if he tried to maintain the face of the old empire and sent some navy, Li Yunlong could throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

When dealing with such barbarians, being humble and polite will not make them curb their arrogance. Only a tough iron fist will make them sit down and negotiate.

Instead of speaking to them in a nice tone with a bunch of big principles that they couldn't understand, Li Yunlong's way of threatening them was more direct and they could understand it. After all, this was how they negotiated with others in the past.

Xue Mu picked up the information that Li Yunlong threw to him from the ground. After reading it, his expression changed slightly.

"General Li Yunlong, we are all allies in the fight against fascism..."

Listening to Xue Mu's words, Li Yunlong nodded in agreement and said, "Because we are allies in the fight against fascism, we can only talk about it now. Otherwise, the person in front of me now would not be you, but this person called Hans!"

"Ten tons is too much, and we can't transport it here. We also have a lot of technology. If you are interested, we can discuss it!"

Li Yunlong couldn't help but sneer after hearing this. John Bull's most important invention during World War II was radar, but Li Yunlong already had this thing. This is why Li Yunlong asked other countries for technical cooperation, but when it came to John Bull, he only wanted money.

"If you think it's too much, then keep it for your burial in the British Isles!"

"I need to report to the higher-ups."

"I'll give you one day!"

Li Yunlong did not intend to talk more with Xue Mu. Li Yunlong used different methods for people from different countries. To deal with John Bull, the old man, Li Yunlong had to kick him when he was down and do it quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, not giving them too much time to think and making a deal.

After Xue Mu left, the French people also arrived. The French representative was from Fighting France, and was once the French military attaché in China. His name was Pierre.

Combat France is actually the Free France Movement founded by the last man in France, Dai Moumou, and was renamed in 1943.

"You also want missile technology?"

Looking at Pierre, Li Yunlong was still a little surprised. Fighting France has always been active in London, and the areas it controls are only some colonies in Southeast Asia and Africa. The only people it can really control are some French soldiers who retreated to John Bull after Dunkirk, and some French people who fled to John Bull. The funds for the activities are all provided by the people of John Bull. Li Yunlong couldn't imagine what they used to buy the missile technology.

"General Li Yunlong, we believe that missile technology is the most important part of future science and technology and the future direction. Although we may not be able to produce it now, after the war is over and France returns to freedom, this technology is what we need."

"Mr. Dai said that?"

Pierre nodded. Li Yunlong tapped the table lightly with one hand. To be honest, the last man in France still has some stuff. He has a clear understanding of the world situation and development.

If it weren't for him, France wouldn't have been able to develop so quickly after the war, nor would it have become the only country in Europe that wasn't controlled by the Americans. It's a pity that this guy was dragged down by his own people.

"Then what can you give? We've invested a huge amount of research funds in this technology. You should know our situation. Our soldiers can't even afford enough food and clothing, yet we've spent tens of millions of dollars researching this technology. I need to recoup the costs!"

Pierre didn't believe a single word of the tens of millions of dollars that Li Yunlong mentioned, but he didn't show it. Instead, he took out a piece of information.

“These are our conditions.”

Li Yunlong took the document handed over by Pierre. There was a lot of text in it, and the main core content was that Fighting France gave up its interests in China and abolished the previous unequal treaties in exchange for missile technology.

In fact, at this time, another French government had already announced that it would give up some unequal treaties signed between Vichy France and the Wang Puppet regime. It was indeed a bit magical that the two puppet governments signed a treaty to give up unequal treaties.

The main reason for this incident was that the Japanese were the ones pushing it forward. They wanted to expand the influence of the Wang Puppet Government in this way, and Vichy France had no choice but to agree.

However, facing the Japanese's conspiracy, Yamashiro finally made the right decision. He unilaterally announced the abolition of all French privileges in China and all unequal treaties, which also disintegrated the Japanese's public opinion offensive.

"You guys are planning to get something for nothing!"

Li Yunlong looked at Pierre with a smile: "Didn't the Shancheng side announce the abolition of your French unequal treaties? Are you going to bring them out and sign them with me now? Do you think I, Li Yunlong, can be fooled?"

After hearing this, Pierre smiled and explained, "General Li Yunlong, Shancheng was only declared unilaterally. We in France do not recognize it!"

"Oh? You admit this one?"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong slammed the table and stared at Pierre, saying, "I don't understand how a government in exile like you can come up with such conditions to negotiate with me!"

Li Yunlong then raised the document in his hand and said, "From today on, I, Li Yunlong, also unilaterally declare that all unequal treaties between France and our country will be abolished. Mr. Pierre, do you object or protest?"

As soon as these words came out, Pierre's face turned a little ugly, and his face flushed. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute.

"We sacrificed tens of millions of our lives fighting fascism, and you surrendered directly, setting up a government in exile. Your own country is still serving the Third Reich, right? Can I assume you're hedging your bets?"

"You want missile technology? No problem. Show your sincerity. Since you don't have money, I don't want it either. But you must exchange your colonies! Here, here, and here!"

Li Yunlong pointed to some areas in Southeast Asia.

"These places will be divided among us after the war!"

"Besides, there's this place. I need the ownership of the land here after the war..."

Chapter 717 Victory Light Guerrillas

Pierre was not surprised to see Li Yunlong circling the land on the map with a pen.

Using colonies to exchange for support is nothing new. John Bull did it - leasing his colonies to the United States for 99 years in exchange for American warships.

The places circled by Li Yunlong were all French colonies that had fallen, most of which were occupied by the Japanese devils.

In Pierre's opinion, the condition proposed by Li Yunlong was not unacceptable.

"What do you think, Monsieur Pierre?"

After drawing a circle, Li Yunlong looked at Pierre with a smile.

At this moment, Li Yunlong suddenly liked the feeling of being a great power - just by drawing a circle on the map, he could decide the ownership of a large piece of land and the life and death of the people on this land.

Li Yunlong took these areas, but he did not intend to completely annex them. After all, after the war, the colonial system would be disintegrated by the joint efforts of the United States and the Russians.

This isn't because the US and Russia are so noble, wanting to liberate all of humanity, but rather because both countries are relatively newcomers. They didn't gain much advantage during the era of colonial expansion. Compared to Britain and France, the US's colonies are insignificant.

The Americans were worried that John Bull and France would recover by relying on colonies, so they promoted decolonization under the banner of civilization, and the Russians did the same.
