Now the part that can be used for military purposes is listed (incomplete): the original 39 American mechanics were transported to 33 divisions before the end of the Anti-Japanese War to make up for it. I bought a batch of American machinery, equipment and materials stored in India and Myanmar at the price of scrap iron, including vehicles worth $68 million (6.5438+0.5 million vehicles) and munitions worth $50 million (including more than 654.38+0.000 M3A3), ranging from 654.38+0.945 to 654.38+0.0/kloc- Donated more than 200 aircraft, a large number of aviation equipment (tens of thousands of tons in Kunming alone), as well as ground weapons and ammunition for airport guards, and about 4,000 tons of light weapons and ammunition. By May 1946, more than 700 aircraft had been provided to the Kuomintang army, helping it to establish an air force of 8 brigades and 1/3 brigades. In February 1946, 1 30,000 tons of machinery, vehicles and textiles were transported from Kolkata to Shanghai, accounting for 25 million US dollars, including 5,700 trucks with 3 tons, and textiles with 5 million US dollars (mainly military uniforms), and in March 19,1.
At the same time, due to the US troops stationed in China during the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese side paid for the places that needed money in legal tender, and the local living materials were also paid in advance by the Kuomintang government. In addition, several airports of the US military stationed in China were also built at the expense of the Chinese side. At that time, the Kuomintang advocated paying US dollars in official foreign exchange rate and legal tender. By the end of the war, according to the official foreign exchange rate, the total cost should be $900 million. But Americans don't do this. They think there is a big difference between the official quotation and the black market quotation, and insist on paying according to the black market quotation. Therefore, at the end of 1944, Kong Xiangxi, Premier and Minister of Finance of the Kuomintang, and morgenthau, US Treasury Secretary, were at loggerheads on this issue. Then, due to Roosevelt's intervention, more than $6,543.8 billion in cash was paid in advance, and the rest was discussed at the end of the war. By the end of the war, the two sides reached a compromise and paid $500 million at the middle price of official and black market quotations. After deducting more than $654.38 billion and the expenses of students studying in the United States, there is still $300 million to offset the remaining/kloc-0.3 billion war materials in the United States. This batch of war surplus materials is not all weapons and ammunition. Among them, there are about 600 million dollars of military materials that can be used for combat. Other materials include thousands of hospital beds, a large number of bandages, helmets, barbed wire, medicines, military food, military clothing, military ships, a large number of gas masks, aircraft parts and various aviation equipment, many of which are old and about to expire and be damaged. The United States calculated that the aid to the Kuomintang was $4.5 billion, while China thought it was more than $5.9 billion. The difference mainly refers to this batch of materials. In addition, in June of 1946, the United States sold the "surplus materials" stored in the Pacific islands to the Kuomintang at a price of $654.38+75 million, worth about $825 million. In this batch of materials, there are medical equipment, medicines, military food, hundreds of landing craft, various machinery and parts, automobiles, petroleum, clothing and so on. , but no weapons and ammunition.
