The expeditionary force began to dominate Southeast Asia by recruiting defeated soldiers

Chapter 134: A Super Bomb? The Manhattan Project?

"8000 million dollars, and the commission is reduced to 2 points." Jason took a step back.

"One hundred million, no matter how much my kickback is, half of it will be given to you!" Zhang Chi said firmly.

He would like to ask for as much as possible. Anyway, he has no intention of fulfilling the contract in the future. If he has to pay back the money he borrowed based on his own ability, then what are the points of his tanks, planes and cannons?

Jason pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Deal."

The two shook hands again, this time much more enthusiastically than when they first met.

Zhang Chi became Jason's benefactor. After all, 1 point of a 100 million loan is 1 million US dollars. Although it can only be deposited in Citibank, he, Jason, is also a real "millionaire".

The wealthy Jason smiled sincerely and said directly, "Our Intelligence Bureau also has an office under the India-Burma Theater Command. If you need anything, you can contact them directly."

Zhang Chi pretended to smile with a look of elation at his sudden wealth, and gave Jason a warm hug, acting as if they were very intimate.

In fact, both of them knew that once this loan contract came true, the real winners would still be the Wall Street tycoons.

Zhang Chi believed that the minerals north of Pegu would be worth at least tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in the future as the post-war economy recovered. The tycoons took advantage of the opportunity brought by the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia and obtained these precious resources with just a loan.

You have to remember that after the war, when the independent Pegu Kingdom left behind the civil service system of the John colony, its financial system wasn't completely broken, but it was practically nonexistent. The nation's income was solely agricultural, and even the civil service salaries weren't enough.

Therefore, they had to mortgage the mines and other resources that they had recovered with great difficulty to the John people again, and make a large loan for the aftermath, and obtained a large sum of John pounds to overcome the difficulties.

As for operating those mines myself? Sorry, I don’t have the technology, equipment, or personnel to run the mining industry. I don’t understand anything about it.

As a result, national expenditures depended on loans from white bankers, and the country's natural resources were in the hands of white people, with no profit at all. As a result, even if the rulers of these peculiar small countries were benevolent monarchs like Shankara, they could not cook without rice.

Compared with them, Zhang Chi has two biggest advantages.

First, he has a system that can strengthen the military. With his powerful fist, he can negotiate with those cruel and ruthless people in the future. Whether it is refusing to pay debts, forcibly recovering debts, or demanding interest reductions, he can negotiate instead of being a powerless puppet at the mercy of others.

Secondly, although the number of Qian people in Nanyang is not large, only less than 10 million, their quality is very high. There are many people who have graduated from primary and secondary schools. These are all potential industrial workers in the future. There are also cutting-edge talents such as college students and doctors. It is entirely possible to keep up with the times by specializing in the research and development of one or two industrial branches.

Zhang Chi thought to himself: Don’t look at Jason opposite who is laughing happily now. When I perform "The Return of the Dragon King" and "The Son-in-law Devours His Master" in the future, I will make you cry your shit away.

"Don't mention it, I actually need your help with something." Zhang Chi, thinking about his future quest to attack the Japanese Songshan Fortress, suddenly mentioned, "I heard you're developing a powerful super-bomb that's incredibly effective against reinforced concrete fortifications. Can you help me get a few?"

Jason nearly jumped out of his wits when he heard the words 'powerful,' 'super,' and 'bomb.' Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and soles of his feet.

How did the other party know such an absolutely core secret?

Even the Office of Strategic Services only knew that its old rival, Director Hoover, was in charge of a top-secret project assigned by Commander-in-Chief Luo, and that this project was about a super-super-big bomb.

Leaked?

Is there a mole?

Who is this Zhang Chi? How could an ordinary soldier from the Qian Kingdom know him?

Zhang Chi saw Jason, who was forcing himself to remain calm but sweating profusely, and knew he was mistaken. He quickly said, "I heard it weighs six tons? Was it made by the Johns? It's a truly massive bomb. Do you have anything similar in the United States?"

So it was just the 'goblet bomb'? Jason breathed a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's so hot in Bago, huh? I'm sweating all over right now."

"You're talking about the goblet bomb, the Johns' secret weapon. I don't know how you heard about it, but we don't have anything like it in the United States yet." Jason said with a hint of regret.

"You should go to General Stevenson for military issues. We can only provide intelligence support."

"It's time to stop looking. I should also return to the Kingdom of Poison. I will bring the contract text with me when we meet next time. Once you sign on behalf of the Anti-Japanese Autonomous Committee, the funds will be immediately transferred to the account you specify."

After saying this, Jason, who was still a little weak, immediately fled.

-----

It’s just the Manhattan Project. Before I traveled through time, even elementary school students on the street knew about it.

Zhang Chi stared at Jason's back and curled his lips in disdain.

"System, can the fat man and the little boy be exchanged?" Thinking of the importance of nuclear bombs to stability and harmony, Zhang Chi hurriedly asked the system.

[In this system, ammunition is equipped according to the historical aircraft. After the host develops the B-29 bomber, the Fatty and Little Boy are automatically unlocked.]

Zhang Chi was overjoyed when he heard the system's answer. With the little boy, he would have nothing to be afraid of after he drove away the Japanese invaders.

"What's the price? Can I buy unlimited ones?" Zhang Chi thought that if he could afford it, he would buy one in 45, follow the White Eagle people, and set off a big firework for the Japanese to liven up the atmosphere.

[In this system, all ammunition can be purchased unlimitedly. Due to their special nature, the Fatty and Little Boy each require 100 tons of 99% pure gold to purchase.]

"1 million dollars? That's not expensive." Zhang Chi nodded.

The White Eagles' Manhattan Project cost a total of $2 billion to build three nuclear bombs: Fat Man, Thin Man (also known as Big Boy), and Little Boy. $100 million is definitely not expensive.

The problem is, $100 million is easy to get, but 100 tons of gold is hard to get. Unless he leads an armored group army to rob a bank on Wall Street, even a small country wouldn’t have the reserves of 1 tons of gold. (In 49, China only had 10 tons.)

According to Zhang Chi's memory, even the gold treasure in the temple of Sindhu was less than 10 tons.

When the White Party fled, they only took away 250 million taels of gold (this figure is controversial), which is just over 100 tons.

It seems that it is difficult to have a little boy.
