Chapter 1128: Buo's Request

On the afternoon of September 27, 1939, a B-17 heavy bomber landed at an air base on the outskirts of Washington. This B-17 heavy bomber is the same heavy bomber that flew from Burussia to the United States after a long journey.

After the cabin door opened, Molotov, member of the Politburo of the Russian Federation, chairman of the People's Commissariat and People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, stepped off the plane.

At the airport, U.S. Secretary of State Hull and a number of senior U.S. government officials were already waiting here.

"Your Excellency, welcome to the United States!" Hull greeted him with a smile on his face.

The two warmly shook hands and embraced, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. They seem to have forgotten that they had previously regarded the enemy as an enemy. The United States wants to destroy Russia in order to protect the security of the capitalist world. And Burussia also wants to destroy the United States in order to liberate more oppressed and exploited toiling masses.

"Your Excellency, thank you very much for the support that the United States has given us!" Molotov said.

Now, large amounts of U.S. aid are being transported along the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Western Front, so that the Russian army can be constantly armed to fight the German invasion.

Although, constrained by the Trans-Siberian Railway, U.S. support accounted for only a small fraction of Russia's war materiel. However, as Russia's territory continued to fall, so did its industrial production capacity. It is foreseeable that US support will become more and more important to Buen Russia in the future. Therefore, the Russian government also attaches great importance to its relations with the United States and hopes to receive more US aid.

After a pleasant exchange at the airport, the two drove to their hotel in downtown Washington.

Originally, Hull wanted Molotov to eat something first, rest a little, and attend a welcome dinner in the evening. But where does Molotov have the heart to rest now, where does he have the heart to attend a dinner party!

Now Burussia is suffering from a German invasion. The Russian army suffered heavy losses on the front line, and Russian soldiers were killed almost every moment. Molotov now doesn't want to waste a minute.

"Your Excellency, let's start talking right away!" Molotov said.

"Your Excellency, don't you need to take a break? Although it was a flight, it was a long journey, and it was very tiring. Hull said. Molotov and the others had obvious tiredness on their faces.

"Your Excellency, when the talks are over, rest well. Now our country is suffering from the invasion of the Germans. Our army and people, are fighting, and I don't have so much time to rest! Molotov said.

Hull thought for a moment, then nodded: "Then I'll go and arrange it, and in an hour, the meeting will begin." You can take a break. ”

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!" Molotov said.

An hour later, the meeting began in the hotel's conference room. On the U.S. side, in addition to Secretary of State Hull, there were Secretary of War Woodlin, Army Chief of Staff George Bush, and the Army Chief of Staff George Bush. Admiral Marshall and Hopkins, policy adviser to the president. On the Russian side, Molotov and several officials were on the Buk side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are being invaded by the Germans. The military strength shown by the Germans in this war was very strong. Although, our army has done its best. However, we still have a lot to lose. From the current point of view, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the German attack. The Germans had a huge advantage in armored weapons and aircraft. We hope that the United States will step up its support for us. We need more tanks and planes, more weapons and equipment to arm more soldiers against the German invasion! Molotov said.

"Your Excellency, as our ally, we will seriously consider your request. However, we also hope that the Russian government will understand our difficulties. Secretary of State Hull said.

"According to the information obtained, the Germans were indeed very strong in tanks and aircraft. But it is a pity that at the moment we also do not have tanks and planes capable of fighting it. However, we are speeding up the development process and trying to shorten the gap with the Germans as much as possible. "George? Admiral Marshall said.

Molotov's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment. The top brass of the Russian military in Burkina Malaysia originally hoped to get more advanced equipment from the United States, but now it seems that the Americans have no advantage in this regard! In front of the advanced tanks and planes of the Germans, the Burussians had already been beaten and were about to lose confidence. If this continues, it will be very unfavorable for the Bu and Russia to resist the German invasion.

"In the battle with the Germans, we have suffered heavy losses in tanks and aircraft, can the American side provide us with a batch of tanks and planes as soon as possible?" Molotov asked.

Several people on the American side shook each other and reached an agreement.

"Your Excellency, we can provide your country with 1,000 M3 light tanks, 500 M4 medium tanks and 500 P-39 fighters," U.S. Secretary of State Hull said. ”

"Thank you to the American side for your support to us!" Molotov said.

Although, these weapons and equipment are not very good, and they will be easily destroyed by the Germans after going to the battlefield. However, something is better than nothing, and this will allow the Burussians to reorganize some armored forces and air forces.

"We also hope that the U.S. side will provide us with more artillery, rifles and machine guns, as well as trucks, as well as other war materials. Right now, we're working hard to expand the army. But arming these armies, as well as in war, requires the consumption of a lot of equipment and war materials. The strength of the Russian government alone is no longer enough to do all this. We hope that the United States will provide us with more support. Molotov continued.

The industrial system of Burussia was built with the help of Germany. The Germans knew almost everything about the industry in Burussia. Although, in recent years, the construction of factories in the Urals and the transfer of industrial centers have begun. However, this is obviously not enough to meet the needs of the war between Buenos and Russia. Once the territory is further destroyed, a large number of factories will be destroyed, and the war strength of Burussia will be further weakened. This makes it necessary for Burussia to get more foreign aid if it wants to fight the war.

"Your Excellency, the United States Government can provide more support to your country. However, there is a big problem with this, and that is that our support for your country must go through the Trans-Siberian Railway. Now, a lot of war materials are piled up in the port of Vladivostok and cannot be transported to the front line. If this problem is not solved, it will be useless for us to send more war materials to your country. Minister Woodlin said.
