    Zhong Yi¡¯s proposal has indeed solved the urgent needs of the United States.

    Because just before Stilwell sent the telegram to Washington, U.S. President Roosevelt was summoning Secretary of State Hull and other military and political officials to hold an emergency meeting.

    There was only one topic at the meeting, which was to increase assistance to the Allies.

    Because at the same time that the Japanese army swept through Southeast Asia, the German army also stepped up its offensive against the Soviet Union and Africa. For a time, the situation in the Soviet Union was precarious, and the Allied forces were retreating steadily in the African battlefield.

    Although the United States has entered the war, the Allied forces are already in a state of turmoil on various battlefields around the world and are on the verge of collapse.

    Although the domestic industrial machinery in the United States has been fully activated and is working overtime to produce weapons and equipment, facing the tight battlefields and the continuous requests for help from the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China, it still feels somewhat powerless because of the shortage of military supplies in various battlefields.  The demand is too great and consumption is too fast!

    "Mr. President, the Soviet battlefield needs at least 8,000 artillery pieces!"

    "Mr. President, the UK needs us to provide at least 5,000 aircraft!"

    "Mr. President, China needs us to provide at least two thousand cannons!"

    "Mr. President, at least half a million troops are needed in the African battlefield!"

    The consultants on both sides of the conference table reported numbers one after another, and Roosevelt felt his head grow heavy.

    At this moment, another secretary came in with a telegram. Roosevelt instinctively waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to read the bad news anymore, but the beautiful female secretary insisted on handing it over.

    Roosevelt could only reluctantly accept the telegram, but after reading it, he suddenly felt refreshed.

    "This is a good idea." Roosevelt handed the telegram to Secretary of State Hull beside him and said, "There are already obsolete production capacities in the country. For the U.S. government, these are outdated and backward production capacities, but for other countries  And it¡¯s still suitable for the region.¡±

    ¡°We can completely transfer this eliminated production capacity to other areas.¡±

    ¡°In this way, the production and transportation pressure borne by the United States can be greatly reduced.¡±

    ¡°And by building industrial bases in various regions, utilization efficiency can be greatly improved.¡±

    "Call Stilwell back immediately. Even if we agree to his request, we will move a large steel plant, a power plant and a refinery to northern Myanmar as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, there is also an arsenal. Let's move a medium-sized arsenal there first.  , at least build two production lines for rifles and machine guns."

    "Within one year, we will strive to produce aircraft, tanks and artillery."

    ¡°As for warships, forget it, the shipyard¡¯s requirements are too harsh.¡±

    "Let them count the rest of the industries first. As long as they are built in northern Myanmar and have the conditions, they will be satisfied!"

    Next to him, Hull and several ministers quickly took out their notebooks to take notes. This was their responsibility, and they had to arrange for people to do it when they got back.

    ¡­¡­

    In the headquarters war room.

    Stilwell said excitedly: "Your Excellency the President has said that we will first assist in the construction of a large steel plant, a large thermal power plant and a large petroleum refinery."

    "Oh, by the way, there is also a medium-sized arsenal."

    "Other industries let us make statistics first."

    ¡°Zhong, let¡¯s count what industries are needed?¡±

    Zhong Yi said without hesitation: "We definitely need one for a food processing factory."

    "Yes, food processing factory." Stilwell picked up the pen and wrote "food processing factory" in his notebook.

    Zhong Yi thought for a while and then said: "The quilt factory also needs it, but the production of repair clothes requires cloth, so the textile factory also needs it. The textile factory needs machinery and equipment. It is best to help build another machine tool manufacturing enterprise!"

    "That's no problem." Stilwell said while recording, "As far as I know, there are many machine tool manufacturers in the United States that cannot survive. Just find one and move here."

    Zhong Yi added: "Pharmaceutical factories are also indispensable."

    ¡°Yes, there are also pharmaceutical factories.¡± Stilwell continued to record.

    Zhong Yi added: "The tractor factory will also need to be relocated. If the production line is slightly improved, it can be immediately transferred to the production of tanks. In the future, there will not even be a need to relocate the tank factory."

    "Yes, the tractor factory." Stilwell nodded and said, "The tractors produced can also be used for agricultural farming, which can improve the agricultural production efficiency of northern Myanmar."

    "Also?Production trucks.  "Zhong Yi said, "From now on, the trucks required for the entire Asian battlefield no longer need to be transported all the way from the United States, but can be provided directly from northern Myanmar.  "

    Zhong Yi continued: "Then there is the aircraft manufacturing factory."

    "This is too difficult." Stilwell said, "Don't rush it yet."

    "No, the aircraft factory must be built first!" Zhong Yi shook his head decisively and said, "Without the support of the air force, it will be difficult to defend northern Myanmar, so the aircraft factory must be built first!"

    "You seem to be right." Stilwell immediately changed his mind, nodded and said, "I will fight for it from the President."

    "The last thing is the production line of the arsenal." Zhong Yi said, "A sheep is driven, and a group of sheep is also driven. Since we have decided to move the production lines of rifles, machine guns and bullets, why not just move the artillery production line too?  ? Wouldn¡¯t it be easier to move once? And it would be more efficient!¡±

    Stilwell frowned and said: "Zhong, I can understand your mood, but industrial construction is not as easy as you think. It cannot be done overnight, it needs to be done step by step!"

    "I understand this!" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Under normal circumstances, industrial construction needs to be done step by step and slowly, but isn't the situation now special? Time waits for no one! The sooner the industrial base in northern Myanmar is built, the more military supplies it can provide  The more supplies we have, the better our chances of winning the entire Burma campaign!¡±

    After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "The sooner the Southeast Asian battlefield and even the entire Asian battlefield can launch a counterattack. If the Asian battlefield can be won early, the industrial base in northern Myanmar can even support other battlefields! For example, in turn, it can launch counterattacks.  Transporting supplies to battlefields in Africa and Europe.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    When I received Stilwell¡¯s telegram, the White House meeting had not yet ended.

    After reading Stilwell's telegram, Roosevelt said with deep approval: "Stilwell is right. The sooner the industrial base in northern Burma is built, the more military supplies it can provide, and the more beneficial it will be to Southeast Asia and even Asia as a whole.  , the sooner the Allied forces in Southeast Asia and even Asia can launch a strategic counterattack!"

    "At present, both the European battlefield and the African battlefield are losing ground, and it will be difficult to change in a short time."

    ¡°That is to say, the Asian battlefield is likely to be the first to realize the counterattack. Therefore, the matter of assisting the construction of the industrial base in northern Myanmar must be resolved as a priority!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
