Chapter 274: A Bold Idea
By the way, was there a lot of pressure on the Aviation Committee during this time? I see that Chongqing and other places are often bombed, is there no plane? ”
At the mention of this, Han Bin couldn't help but shake his head, "It's not that there are no planes, in the past few months, we have purchased more than 100 planes from the Soviet Union, and this year we can reach more than 200 in total." Coupled with the Soviet Union's air force to aid China, the number of fighters is not small, but we do not have the ability to produce our own fighters, and the rate of loss cannot keep up with the speed of replenishment.
Japan is different, they produce more fighters every month than we buy in a year, and they can't fight, they can't defend against it.
Moreover, our fighters are basically Soviet-style fighters, and many pilots are not used to such fighters. ”
"Why don't we open an airplane factory!" Leng Jie said on a whim.
"Big brother, you take it for granted! Even if we could buy machinery and equipment from the United States, it would take years to put them into production, and we would not have the ability to develop fighters. Han Bin explained.
"Who said no, you just dig Wang Zhu up. Find a suitable target, just imitate it first, and accumulate experience. Leng Jie said.
"Wang Zhu? He hasn't even come back yet, in the USSR! Han Bin has obviously also heard of Wang Zhu, the big man.
During the Republican period, this can be regarded as one of the top people in aircraft manufacturing and design.
"If you really need airplanes, I know that there are countries that will definitely sell them, and there are quite a few of them!" Leng Jie suddenly thought of something and said immediately.
"Who will sell? United States? No way! They don't want to get involved in the war now, and would rather sell those war resources to Japan than to us.
In addition to the United States, there was also the Soviet Union, but the performance of Soviet fighters was like that. If the Japanese Zero fighters were to come out, the Il-15 and Il-16 fighters would not be able to defeat them at all.
As for the better-performing Yak, MiG and La series, none of them have yet been released and cannot be bought if you want to. And at that time, it is estimated that the USSR will not sell either! ”
Don't think that the Soviet Union's aid to China was good-intentioned, to a certain extent, it helped China, but in fact, it was also for the interests of the Soviet Union.
After the signing of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact, the Soviet Union completely abandoned the sale of strategic materials to China.
"It's not the United States and the Soviet Union, it's Germany!" Leng Jie said.
"Germany? How can it be? They even withdrew the military advisory group, how could they provide fighter planes, let alone that they and Japan would become allies. Han Bin felt impossible.
"Haven't you become an ally yet? I certainly don't mean the BF109, and even less the German fighters. ”
"If Germany doesn't sell German fighters, who else will sell them?"
"France!" Leng Jie said, "Don't forget, the European battlefield is also fast, and France will choose to surrender if it doesn't last for a month."
Although France was defeated quickly, France's industrial strength was not bad, and their warplanes and other weapons were not even worse than those of Germany.
The caliber of weapons in Germany and France is different, and it is impossible to use them universally. Germany will certainly not use these French weapons, and we can get these fighters from the Germans before the German-Japanese alliance is formally reached. ”
"That's not realistic, isn't it?" Where does Han Bin understand this, he just thinks it's a bit fantastical, "The mustache will definitely not agree, and there is no middleman." If there is no middleman, we will not see the mustache. ”
"There are intermediaries, of course, have you forgotten Falkenhausen? Historically, he would have served as Governor General of Belgium and Commander of the German Army in northern France.
If he still follows history, he will be the best choice, and it just so happens that France is also under his rule. Leng Jie said.
"It's impossible, right? That is a betrayal of national interests, and even if he sympathizes with our China, it is impossible for him to betray the interests of the country. Han Bin still thinks it's unrealistic.
"What if we could give him a chip that would be very exciting?" Leng Jie asked.
"What chips?"
"For example, tens of thousands of tons of rubber! Germany does not produce rubber, and can only rely on synthesis to get rubber, but rubber is not difficult for our country, and in Southeast Asia, the output of rubber plantations controlled by overseas Chinese can reach tens or millions of tons per year.
If rubber doesn't work, you can tell them about oil.
Let's not forget that there are a lot of oil reserves in North Africa, and if they can solve the oil problem, why can't they sell the weapons they seized from France? ”
If rubber can solve the problem, Leng Jie will naturally not reveal the existence of oil.
Rubber can't affect the war yet, but oil will make it more difficult for Europe.
Of course, that was just a matter of leaving some more blood in the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain, and there was nothing good anyway.
"Really? How I don't feel very reliable! Han Bin was a little undigested.
"Is it reliable or not, can you try it? If it can be successful, it will definitely be no problem to get two or three hundred fighters, and it is not that it is not unpaid, that lady has a lot of money in her hand, or foreign exchange.
I believe that the Germans will also like American knives. ”
Indeed, this matter is just as Leng Jie said, whether it succeeds or not, you have to try.
France is a loser than Major Marshal Zhang, you must know that when the war broke out, France's tanks were still stronger than Germany's, and the entire country's millions of troops did not hold out for even a month.
。。。。。。
"You Qing, what contradiction happened between Leng Jie and Zhang Lingfu? Why did Yu Jishi start to come forward? ”
The reason why Leng Jie's appointment has not been decided has a lot to do with the slander of the 74th Army.
Although the 74 th military department is not a big faction in the Central Army, Yu Jishi himself has a close relationship with the chairman of the National People's Congress, which can be heard by heaven.
Chen Cheng was also thinking about whether it was appropriate to offend Yu Ji for the sake of a cold Jie.
It's not that he's afraid of Yu Jishi, it's just that he's wondering if it's necessary.
"I inquired about this, because of the merits of the 102 Brigade, Zhang Lingfu wanted to rely on the background of the 74th Army, wanted to rob the credit, and beat one of Leng Jie's subordinates.
You also know Leng Jie's temper, and he also beat Zhang Lingfu's adjutant and mocked Zhang Lingfu.
That's probably the case. ”
Regarding the conflict between Leng and Zhang, Luo Zhuoying also learned about it later, but this matter was not done by the 74th Army.
Moreover, the 74th Army is unruly, and Luo Zhuoying can't command it, so he must have Principal Chang's just to do it.
No matter how you say it, Leng Jie is also a member of his own faction, and this time he defeated the Japanese army and annihilated the 101st Division of the Japanese army, Leng Jie has a lot of credit, and Luo Zhuoying will definitely help him.
"Just because of such a thing?" Chen Cheng was also surprised.
He didn't expect the cause to be like this, even he thought it was a little ridiculous.
"Sir, Leng Jie is also a tiger general no matter what he says, this matter is too much for the 74th Army, malicious slander, if we don't defend him, who will dare to take refuge in us in the future?
It is said that Han Bin stabbed this matter to his wife, and there was no turnaround. Chief Chen should have known about Zhang Lingfu's murder of his wife, but his wife proposed punishment to the chairman of the committee. Guo said.
"What? That Han Bin stabbed this to his wife? It seems that his relationship with Leng Jie is not ordinary. Chen Cheng was a little surprised.
"That's right, he is a rising star in the Aviation Committee, and he is also the first ace of our pilots, and he is deeply liked by his wife. If he had mentioned this to his wife, she would not have ignored it.
However, for Leng Jie, I still don't recommend him to serve as a major general and division commander so soon, it is a little fast, and it is easy to be targeted, after all, he only graduated from the tenth phase of Huangpu, and the commander should also consider the feelings of other people. Guo said.
"And what do you mean?" Chen Cheng said in a deep voice.
"If you can, let him come to the 94th Army as the chief of staff of the major general, and you can make a transition in the post of staff officer!" Guo confessed that he showed his fox tail.
Chen Cheng couldn't help but be happy, "Regret your purpose, you want to rob people?" ”
"He is a talent, and he is naturally willing to give him a suitable platform!" Guo said with a smile.
"This, I still have to discuss it with Huo Yuzhang and them, they probably won't let them go...
