459. Sino-British arms trade case

Britain lost hundreds of thousands of elites, and the loss of weapons and equipment was innumerable, and in order to restore its strength, Britain immediately contacted the United States to propose to purchase armaments. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although the United States is very industrial, it has not entered a state of war, and it will not be able to provide hundreds of thousands of advanced weapons for a while and a half, and although it has won some orders, it has not been able to swallow them all.

Britain's eyes circled the world and finally found a land power, China. At this time, China had two million national defense forces, and the fact that it swept away a million Soviet troops at Nomenhan is enough to show that its weapons and equipment are not bad.

Churchill immediately instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact China to purchase army weapons, military supplies, food and clothing, and so on.

Lin Feng made a decision on this matter, and the military industrial enterprises and civilian enterprises worked together to eat this piece of meat, and if the delivery time was insufficient, they would use the active equipment and reserves to top it.

The bald head asked strangely: "Didn't you cooperate with Germany, why did you still sell weapons to Britain?" ā€

Lin Feng explained: "We haven't signed an alliance agreement with cooperation, they beat theirs, let's do our business, how good it is to make money at both ends, isn't the government short of money, make more money to pay off debts." ā€

"Will Germany protest?" There are now a lot of Germans in China, teachers, engineers, designers, etc., and the bald heads are afraid that these people will make trouble.

Lin Fengyin smiled: "Protest wool, if Germany is not satisfied, take the baby to round our production capacity, I will not sell it to the UK, anyway, now Europe is in the hands of the mustache, there are a lot of treasures, and a lot of them are ours." ā€

Wang Chonghui, who received the instructions, immediately signed an arms trade order with Britain, and it was sold or delivered, anyway, Britain's maritime strength was 'the best in the world', and it was just a drizzle of transporting things.

Britain has nothing to say about this, China has just sold the 'only' battleship formation, and it doesn't even have a convoy of escort ships, so they can't let it go.

A month later, equipment shipped from the United States was shipped across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom, while equipment from China was shipped to Southeast Asia, Malacca, the Indian Ocean, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar, and then north.

Germany protested against China as early as when China and Britain signed an arms trade order, but Wang Chonghui privately told Germany that it would reveal the departure time and route of the United Kingdom, and Germany immediately remained silent, as if no such thing had happened.

When the British convoy was about to arrive in the English Channel after a month's voyage, it suddenly found itself surrounded, and a fleet of battleships and a dozen submarines made dumplings for the convoy and the convoy.

After a naval battle, the German Navy happily returned home with the trophies, which was the equipment of 200,000 people, not in vain. Britain has jumped to its feet, and for this reason, the Admiralty has been removed from a large number of generals.

Before Britain could find China again, Wang Chonghui contacted Britain first and informed the British that Britain could spend money to buy another batch of arms, and that China was willing to mobilize civilian shipping forces to help transport them, and sent a newly built battleship formation of Taizong to escort the ship. However, the cost of dispatching a battleship formation was not low, and it was necessary to recover all the British concessions in China, including Hong Kong.

At this time, the British mainland was being bombed by the Luftwaffe, and even London was bombed countless times, and the intelligence received from Germany showed that Germany was drafting a plan for a cross-sea operation, preparing to defeat Britain completely.

Britain, which had no choice, immediately agreed to China's plan, but asked China to transport arms as quickly as possible, and increased the order for a batch of air defense weapons and coastal defense weapons.

Lin Feng and others took back the British Concession with a smile, as for the French Concession, France has become a puppet of Germany, there is no need to talk about it, it is directly accepted, and the concessions of other countries in China also took the initiative to end the lease period and return it to China after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a notice.

SH port, nearly 100 large transport ships are loading munitions here, the battleship formation of Taizong is impressively on the sea, Taizong's 95,000-ton physique startles everyone, and then there is a great sense of pride, but the Chinese flag is hung on it.

The "Woo ......" fleet set sail, escorted by the battleship formation of Taizong, escorted all the way to the British mainland, then visited Germany, and then went from Germany to the United States, stopped in New York for two days, and then went south through the Drake Strait into the Pacific Ocean, and the Panama Canal was now impassable through the battleship Taizong.

After arriving in the Pacific Ocean, he went north to San Francisco, USA, where there is the largest Chinese population, and after the visit, he visited Yokosuka, and finally returned to China.

This lap is run down, the purpose is to show off the battleship, everyone take a look, the battleship can also build 80,000 or 90,000 tons, what plane can sink such a terrific battleship, this is the invincible fortress at sea, everyone quickly design a new battleship, otherwise the battleships under construction are already outdated!

When the battleship formation of Taizong arrived in Europe, it caused a huge sensation, and Britain's current newly built battleship King George V-class battleship was like a baby facing the Han in front of Taizong, and there was no comparison.

The displacement of the battleship Taizong was twice that of the British King George V, the main gun caliber was 510mm, the other was 355mm, and the speed was 31 knots for the Taizong and 29 knots for the King George V.

This aroused strong fear from top to bottom of Britain, Britain, the world's largest navy, was already so far behind the East, and if there was a naval war with the East, would Britain have to resist?

In Britain pretended to be forced again, the battleship formation of Taizong ran to Germany again, and the Germans were also scared, the battleship Taishan that had just been bought not long ago was actually eliminated by China, and the two battleships were not of the same grade, and a few Taishan could not beat a Taizong, and it was a big loss!

Fortunately, the Tarzan could not find an opponent in Europe at present, since the battleship formation of the Tarzan, the German navy competed with the British Navy every day, and achieved a lot of successes, the biggest result was the sinking of the British battleship Nelson with a full load displacement of 38,000 tons in the North Sea.

Both the Tarzan and the Nelson were armed with nine 406mm guns, but they were not at all of the same level in terms of speed and protection, and the Tarzan hit the underside of the Nelson's turret in a salvo, causing the ammunition depot to detonate.

The worst thing was that all three turrets of the Nelson were in front of the battleship, and this detonation caused the ammunition depots of the three turrets to be completely blown up, and the Nelson was directly blown to pieces, and not even a complete part could be found.

After a round in Germany, the convoy returned home, which was full of cultural relics obtained from Britain, Germany, and France, which Britain used to pay for arms, and Germany and France were scavenged by Germany to befriend China and get some practical benefits from China.

The battleship formation of Taizong left Europe and headed for the North American continent, preparing to go to the United States to pretend to be forced and scare the Yankees. (To be continued.) )
