Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 98 The drunkard’s intention lies in talents (Third update, please collect)
  Did you find the money?
  The answer is yes.

The next morning, in the Oval Office of the White House, after listening to Truman's report.

Roosevelt unconsciously became happy, and the corners of his lips rose.

"Harry, I didn't expect you to resolve this matter so quickly."

Roosevelt, who had been stabbed repeatedly by Dewey's knife until he felt uncomfortable, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The president has a far-sighted vision, using the captured German supplies to strengthen China's combat power, and centrally planning for victory on the Chinese battlefield thousands of miles away!
  Of course, it would also separate him from the Pentagon bureaucrats who only care about Europe.

Marshall... let's share our worries with the Lord!

Ku Yi Ku Ma General, he came to bear the insults.

When this news spreads, it will definitely change public opinion. Americans like this kind of slightly legendary story the most.

If they like it, tell them.

"Mr. President, as I said before, Lee is a very generous man."

As soon as Truman finished speaking, Harry Hopkins said next to him.

"Harry, he is indeed a generous man, but what does he need from us in return for his generosity?"

As a presidential adviser, he is not only the chairman of the Military Supplies Allocation Committee, but also the de facto second-in-command in the White House. He is even known as the "shadow president". He knows very well that there is never gratuitous generosity in this world.

"Mr. Hopkins, the most important thing is that his help can help us get through the crisis of the target."

Truman did not directly answer Hopkins' question but continued.

"Mr. President, now we need to give you the perfect story."

Nodding, Roosevelt motioned for Truman to continue.

"Mr. President, the core of this story is that we are doing everything possible to help China. Because the Chinese army imported a large number of German weapons before the war, we shipped North African weapons to China through Li, and then the Chinese on the battlefield Victory, the question is then what?”

Truman said, looking at the president.

"Then?"

Roosevelt thought for a while,

"Harry, are you saying we need to increase aid to China?"

"Senator, we have planned to provide no less than $[-] billion in aid to China this year."

As the chairman of the Munitions Supplies Allocation Committee, responsible for allocating war supplies to allied forces around the world, Hopkins sounded a little unhappy.

During this crisis, he was also criticized, and some even called him a "Russian agent" because he allocated a large amount of materials to "Russia, which did not declare war on Japan and even sold oil and ore to Japan." Not China, which was at war with the Japanese.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that in order to respond to the doubts from the outside world, he had to allocate the supplies originally intended to aid Russia to China instead. Every time he thought of this, his heart...bleeded!

Yes, for Hopkins, nothing is more important than aiding Russia. He even suggested to the president: "We not only need Russia as a powerful fighting ally to defeat Germany, but ultimately we need Russia as a powerful fighting ally to defeat Japan." ally. Finally, we need Russia as our true friend and patron in the postwar world."

It was under his leadership that the materials China obtained were extremely limited, and there was even his selfishness in this - he needed Russia as an ally to defeat Japan, instead of fully supporting China and making China an ally to defeat Japan.

In his plan... there is no such thing as China at all. Including General Marshall's plan, there is only one core - to use the minimum supplies to let China hold Japan back, rather than defeat Japan. They never thought of aiding China from the beginning to the end!

"Mr. Hopkins, plans are always just plans. What the outside world needs to see is action."

Truman retorted directly.

"We need to take further actions to tell the outside world that we are sparing no effort to attack Japan."

"Yes, Harry, the Senator is right, we need to take some action."

Compared with other things, the campaign is the best, Roosevelt turned his attention to Truman and said.

"Do you have any advice?"

"Continue to hand over the weapons captured by the Germans to the Chinese, just like we did before."

His suggestion made Roosevelt and Hopkins both surprised and thinking about it in their minds.

The former understands that this is a "continuation of the plan" and is telling the Americans that we are still strongly supporting China, but in a different way. As for the latter, they immediately realized that this was a good thing - there was no need to allocate aid to Russia to China.

"It seems that this is also a good choice. Anyway, China needs weapons, not what kind of weapons..."

After nodding in agreement, Roosevelt frowned slightly and said.

"It seems we didn't capture many German weapons."

"Yes, Mr. President, we have only captured some German weapons in North Africa. But this is just the beginning. This is our response to the outside world."

Truman looked at the president and said that although he was Roosevelt's running mate, he did not know that the "Overlord Plan" to land in France had reached the implementation stage, but Roosevelt knew very well that soon, with the landing of the Allied forces, they would A large amount of German weapons were captured.

"With this response, the outside world will see our support for China, and we don't even need to pay anything, just a small amount of maintenance and transportation costs."

Truman said in a relaxed tone.

"Of course, this is what he hopes for. He hopes that when the Allied forces counterattack the European continent in the future, he can help the Allied forces gather the captured weapons and use his ship to deliver them to China."

This is a link in Li Yi'an's plan.

What he needs is to be able to follow the Allied forces to collect supplies after they land on the European continent, but the purpose is not just to collect weapons and ammunition captured by the Allied forces and transport them to China. Instead, we took this opportunity to reach out to Germany and recruit as many talents as possible.

The so-called "assistance" is just an excuse.

Of course, he can also wait until the end of the war to collect German talents, but by then, what he needs is to face competition from the United States and Russia - the United States implemented "Operation Paperclip" in 46 to search for German talents. Russia, on the other hand, is simpler and more crude. They arrest people directly and take them directly to Russia regardless of whether they want it or not. The UK and France are also secretly searching for German talents.

In a word, all countries are doing everything possible to collect Germany's intellectual resources.

Under such circumstances, if you want to recruit talents and utilize Germany's intellectual resources, you must be one step ahead. How can you enter the war zone with a time lag before they take action? How to take people away?
  Collecting captured German weapons and ammunition to assist China is the best disguise.

With this disguise, his people can enter the war zone openly, wear US military uniforms, ride in jeeps, follow the US military all the way to Berlin, and then transport materials and personnel out of Europe.

This is Li Yi'an's "Operation Paperclip", but if he wants to implement this operation, he must have the cooperation of the United States. If it succeeds, then he can completely absorb the talents of the entire Germany...

　Tomorrow will be the third round of recommendations. Please read it. Don’t worry, it’s enough to get you into trouble... I beg you to read it!
