Chapter 522: Stocking Diplomacy
After Yu Hua finished reading the telegram, his expression could not help but sink!
Wei Dayong, who was at his side, hurriedly asked what was the matter: "Young Master, what has happened?"
"The Nanchang Battle, the Japanese Army has won, and our army has collapsed very rapidly."
"Our Chuan Army has suffered a key strike from the Japanese Army this time."
"Among them, Fan Shaozeng's 88th Army has been crippled, and Wang Zanxu's 29th Group Army has also been crushed!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Dayong felt quite uncomfortable in his heart!
Because, the several Group Armies of the Chuan Army that marched out of Chuan!
Are now almost all crippled; in the Wuhan Battle, Wang Lingji's 30th Group Army, Sun Zhen's 22nd Group Army.
Plus, during the Anqing Campaign, Yang Sen's 27th Group Army also suffered no small amount of casualties!
At present, the Chuan Army units can be said to have suffered a severe blow to their vitality!
Pan Wenhua, Deng Xihou, Liu Wenhui, and others have now also sent telegrams, asking Yu Hua to return to the country as soon as possible.
"Yu... take care!" Bob and Brian responded: "Have a smooth journey!"
As for this thing called an airplane, Yu Hua did not want to ride in one at all in his heart.
"Dayong!"
"I..."
"Hello, my name is Bob!"
Sail into the Mediterranean Sea, pass through the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aden, transit the Indian Ocean, then arrive in Myanmar, and return to the country via the Burma Road or Railway.
The planes aiding the National Government, after arriving in the Republic of China, will refuel here, and then after inspection, fly to various airports in the Republic of China.
"Hahaha... I have finally taken to the sky!"
Brian, standing to the side, was also happy for his good friend.
When Brian heard that he also had a gift, he was very surprised.
"Next time you come to America, remember to come find me!"
They also boarded the Aviation Volunteer Group's plane to return to the country!
"Accept it!" Yu Hua patted Brian on the shoulder.
Yu Hua and Mark discussed again the issue of how to get the industrial equipment and weaponry from Poland back to the Republic of China.
The engine noise was so loud, it made his ears ache!
Wei Dayong was still very happy about riding in an airplane for the first time, looking here and there.
Because, once an accident happens, the survival rate of this thing is almost zero.
"Returning this time, you will also be able to let your father recover!"
"Hurry up and sit down, the plane is about to take off immediately."
Bob was in a great mood seeing that Yu Hua could skillfully use English.
After Mark helped Yu Hua secure the tickets, Yu Hua and the others boarded the plane bound for Moscow.
"I need to return to the country as soon as possible!"
"The plane... is about... about to take off!"
Various smells mixed together, it was very unpleasant!
"It's flying!"
Under the influence of Mark's business card, Yu Hua successfully traveled from Paris to the Third Reich.
Following closely, the bomber's engine roared to life!
"This matter must be fast, go handle it immediately, take Old Mister Xie with you when you go!"
"Last time, you said your girlfriend and mother both really like DuPont Company stockings."
Wei Dayong was very happy to see that Bob could speak a few words of Chinese: "Young Master..."
At first, Mark said these weaponry and industrial equipment would need until 1941 at the earliest to be finished and transported back to the Republic of China.
"Yes!" Wei Dayong nodded and left.
"We have already reached the airspace of the Republic of China!"
"Yu..."
"You can prepare next time!" Yu Hua grinned and said: "I might come to America again next year."
Yu Hua just borrowed the words of the "Money-Adding Layman," the Chuan Army provided Mark with 25 million US dollars worth of Tung Oil.
Now the Little Mustache has already launched a Flash War on Poland.
"This is an airplane, not your wife, it's useless even if you rub it bald!"
After arriving in Paris, Yu Hua took out the business card Mark gave him and went to the Krupp Family's residence in Paris.
By then, wouldn't DuPont Company make a fortune!
"Nice to meet you!"
Yu Hua gave a cold snort and directly interrupted Wei Dayong's words: "What are you shouting about."
"Immediately send a message to Walter, about the two hundred thousand pairs of stockings we shipped this time."
Speaking of this, there was also a hint of melancholy in Brian's eyes.
"We need about three days to reach Europe!"
On the contrary, Wei Dayong and the others each stretched their necks, watching the plane taxi on the runway.
Because this time it was an emergency return to the country!
Yu Hua asked Walter for help; he wanted to take an American bomber to Europe, and then go to the Russian country.
The other few were the same, very curious about the airplane!
In the current Republic of China, many common people have never even seen a car, let alone an airplane.
Pushichuofusiji was piloting the Russian plane and shouted to Yu Hua: "Yu..."
He needed to be here to take the plane provided by Russia to the Republic of China to return to his country.
In America, Yu Hua had left behind a small amount of Stockings, which he carried with him.
Black Stockings and flesh-colored Stockings, Yu Hua sold one hundred pairs each time.
Flesh-colored and black, these two styles were deeply loved by American women.
Yu Hua could not afford to wait for such a long time!
Time is life; in order to solve this difficult problem.
Every time he came to a big metropolis like London, Brian rarely went out.
After the plane arrived in Moscow, Yu Hua used the documents he had obtained in the Third Reich to get in touch with the Russian military.
Yu Hua aimed to get all of Poland's Weaponry and Industrial Equipment back to the Republic of China before May 1940.
"This is a gift for you!"
"If you ask me to handle matters, I am powerless."
Lanzhou is currently the collection point for supplies provided by Russia to the National Government, and it is also an important transportation hub.
"But I didn't prepare a gift for you!" Brian asked in return.
At the banquet.
Although Marshal Liu had organized an air force unit in the past, very few Sichuan Army soldiers had actually seen those planes.
Along the way, they killed the Japanese Army until they were routed, and many Japanese Army planes even crashed one after another under the strikes of the Sichuan Army air force.
"It won't be too late for you to give me a gift then."
After Yu Hua met with Tang Mingzhang, he told them that the negotiations with Ford had been successful.
"May I ask how many days it will take for us to reach Europe."
One must know that for this battle, Yu Hua had chosen the best ambush route for the Sichuan Army.
Immediately, Yu Hua began chatting with Bob in English.
Because the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, there are still flight routes between the Soviet Union and Germany now.
There are five airports here, and there is a specialized Russian aircraft repair factory.
The sound of the propellers was ear-piercing; Yu Hua thought about how he would be affected by the noise for the next three days.
He needed to return to his country as soon as possible to figure out the reason behind it.
It's just a few batches of steel-making equipment; this stuff isn't weaponry, so it can definitely be transported to the Republic of China!!
In terms of connections, Brian is indeed not as good as Bob, and all the money he earned was used to treat his father's illness.
After settling things with Mark, Yu Hua first went to the Republic of China embassy in the Third Reich.
"These two pairs of Stockings are worth at least twenty thousand dollars in America."
"I am in London, and I don't have as many connections as Bob."
"With these two pairs of Stockings, your father's surgery fees are almost covered."
Before everyone's eyes, the image of the Sichuan Army's air force unit covering the ground troops suddenly appeared.
"Bob, take the Stockings back; Maria will definitely accept your proposal."
"Brian!" Yu Hua called out to him.
Immediately, Yu Hua looked at Bob and said in English: "Hello, I am Yu Hua!"
"Young Master, you speak!"
When Wei Dayong returned, Tang Mingzhang and the others also arrived at the Yu Family Mansion.
He said very happily: "Yu... you are a true friend!"
Once the little mustache launches a Flash War across all of Europe, and fighting starts here, it will be very difficult to get these things back to the country.
"We are in the sky!"
"True or false, you'll know once you take a look yourself!" Yu Hua smiled slightly.
Some noblewomen and young ladies even went as far as to pay ten thousand dollars to acquire a pair of Stockings from Miss Qiu Company!
There was a reason why Walter agreed so quickly, because of this new batch of Stockings that Yu Hua brought.
"Old Bao, we are friends; you help me, and I help you."
At this time, the American pilot came to the cockpit.
"This is Western etiquette!"
Yu Hua wanted to head to France, and he entrusted Bob to help him get a few plane tickets.
Following that, Bob opened the gift box and discovered there were two pairs of flesh-colored Stockings inside!
He felt angry at the soundproofing of planes from this period; this was simply torturing himself.
After the plane left the ground, these few people shouted: "It's flying!"
As for the steel-making equipment Yu Hua mentioned, these were all minor matters!
"The feeling of being in the sky is quite good!"
After several confirmations by the Russian military, the identities of Yu Hua and the others were found to be without issues.
"Between friends, we should help each other."
If they had followed his previous combat deployment, the Sichuan Army certainly would not have suffered such heavy casualties.
This maneuver by Yu Hua directly blinded Walter!
Now that Yu Hua was willing to sell the hundreds of thousands of pairs of Stockings in his hands to him, this was a massive deal.
This immediately sparked the passion of American women.
Yu Hua narrowed his eyes: "Airplanes, this thing will be available sooner or later!"
Seeing that Wei Dayong and his group were still touching this and that inside the cabin, Bob said in stiff Chinese:
"Quick... sit down quickly!"
After Miss Qiu Company won the lawsuit against DuPont.
Saying this, Yu Hua had Wei Dayong give Brian a gift box.
The route Yu Hua determined was from Poland to the Third Reich, and then into Italy;
DuPont agreed immediately.
Hearing this, Brian nodded: "Fine!"
"After contacting the National Government in Shancheng, our landing location this time is Lanzhou."
Because the texture of the stockings from Miss Qiu Company was good, and the styles were also better looking than those of DuPont;
"Once we have airplanes, our Sichuan Army will form an air force."
After one day!
The airplane Yu Hua was riding finally returned to the airspace of the motherland.
He found the ambassador of the Republic of China and obtained a few documents.
The Sino-Soviet Joint Aviation Team was stationed in Lanzhou for training and rest.
"You lot, all of you sit down for me quickly."
The huge roaring sound was very ear-piercing, and on top of that, the airplanes at this time had smells like machine oil, diesel, and Tung Oil.
Mark and Yu Hua met, and Mark had his butler prepare a Western-style meal to host Yu Hua.
After the American airplane landed at the London airport, Yu Hua and Wei Dayong's group also got off the plane.
Of course, the long-range Bombers taking off from America now could not reach Europe in one go.
In Berlin of the Third Reich.
Because Bob knew simple Chinese, his superior told him to look after these few people from the Republic of China.
Walter was very happy after learning that Yu Hua was willing to let DuPont sell the stockings produced by Miss Qiu Company first.
"I have two pairs of stockings here; you can take them back and give them to your mother and girlfriend!"
Yu Hua was in a great mood; after returning to the motherland, even the air made one feel comfortable.
Bob agreed, and after obtaining the tickets, Yu Hua looked at Bob.
After the runway ahead was cleared, Bob stopped chatting with Yu Hua and focused on flying the plane.
"Hand everything over to DuPont for sales, and have DuPont prepare a batch of steel-making equipment for us."
The Sichuan Army now needed Yu Hua to devise strategies!
"We are friends!"
"Stop touching things blindly here!"
"It makes me want to be a pilot now!"
"Clang, clang, clang!! —"
The purpose was to "help others" along the way, because some people were worth Yu Hua's help!
Some small favors would definitely bring good returns after the outbreak of the Second World War!
Yu Hua boarded the plane to France, and after several hours of flight, finally descended in Paris.
Mark immediately stated that he would definitely transport these items to the Republic of China before March 1940.
The Soviet Union and Germany signed a treaty, and the little mustache would next launch a Flash War on Western Europe.
Wei Dayong and his group heard Yu Hua say this.
Because he had to save every penny to treat his father.
On the airplane!
Bob and his partner Brian had already been thoroughly understood by Yu Hua, and the three of them were much more familiar with each other.
"There are also two pairs of stockings in here; you can take them to sell."
"Because the price is expensive, you are very troubled by this."
"Yu..." Brian looked at Yu Hua: "This is too valuable!"
"No problem!" Yu Hua agreed immediately: "It's getting late, I'm preparing to go to France."
Just now he received an order from his superior saying that his airplane would carry a group of people from the Republic of China to Europe.
Saying this, Yu Hua had Wei Dayong take out a gift box.
Through the connections of the DuPont family, Yu Hua and his group boarded a long-range Bomber heading to Europe.
"Young Master!" After Wei Dayong finished screaming, he looked at Yu Hua: "When will we be able to own airplanes!"
In the time that followed, the Japanese Army's airplanes never dared to wander over the sky of Sichuan Province again.
Subsequently, Wei Dayong also introduced the information he had obtained from DuPont.
The National Government only needed to pay Ford with Bristles and Tung Oil!
Tang Mingzhang and the others were extremely grateful to Yu Hua!
Now located overseas, Yu Hua was still unclear about some specific details of the Nanchang Battle.
Just now, although Brian was happily cheering for Bob, Yu Hua had seen the look of loneliness in his eyes.
Brian was a child who grew up in a slum, and he had been relatively insecure since he was young;
Because one's growing environment can determine a person's personality after they grow up.
"Yu..." Bob's eyes widened: "Are you saying this is true?"
"According to Western etiquette, when parting, friends can give each other gifts."
It is necessary to make a stopover in Iceland or Greenland, and then head to Europe!
The long-range Bomber taking off from America this time is not carrying any military weapons;
Everything is goods being aided by America to England.
Yu Hua is selling the Stockings in his hands in America, and he is adopting a hunger marketing model.
"No, no, no..." Yu Hua waved his hands: "I already said, we can gather together."
"Take care, we will see each other next time!"
However, there is no other way now, he can only bite the bullet and take a plane back.
Today's Lanzhou is already one of the important air force bases of the Republic of China.
Afterwards, Yu Hua entrusted Mark to get him a few plane tickets, as he prepared to fly from Berlin to Moscow.
Afterwards, Pushichuofusiji told Yu Hua that in ten minutes, they would be landing!
Yu Hua also stood up to stretch his muscles and bones.
Just as Yu Hua was looking at the scenery outside the cabin, his eyes were suddenly flashed.
