Chapter 268: Investing in Doves
Liu Yun himself does not see it that way, as long as Hitler still has a trace of hesitation, the German moderates have a chance to hold him, and the Chinese investment doves are not unprofitable, at least let the Germans remember that the Chinese never treat their friends badly, even if this friend once deviated from the faith, but still treat them as friends.
What's more, if Commander Liu is not mistaken, after the end of World War II, among the people in power in East Germany and West Germany, there were basically these doves, after all, the war was short-lived, and "peace and development" was the long-term solution, even if the doves still failed in the end, but the mutual affection remained, and it was better to lay out after the war.
Speaking of the cutting-edge technology of the Air Force, Commander Liu just has such a gift in his hand, which is the "radar technology" sent by Erix, and after the continuous improvement of his and Zhi Brain, it is no less than the British technology during World War II.
After Liu Yun's brief description, Falkenhausen was overjoyed, it was simply a stroke of genius, enough to shock Führer Hitler and the upper echelons of the Air Force, so the moderate's plan to enter the Air Force was a matter of course, and the Chinese allies once again proved their worth.
Chairman Liu Xiang did not understand these high-tech technologies, and he was a little unaware of radar, but it was also a great joy to be able to exchange for the change of heart of the German allies, so he repeatedly said that it was okay for Commander Liu to handle this matter as soon as possible, and that he would not care about anything for the time being, and that doing a good job of the allies was the first priority at present.
It was already mid-August 1936, October was the time for the German-Italian alliance, and November was the time for Japan and Germany to sign the "Anti-Soviet Agreement".
Early the next morning, Liu Yun took Falkenhausen to take off from Dujiangyan Airport and went straight to the secret base in western Sichuan, so that the German general could appreciate the radar technology in western Sichuan at close range, and everyone discussed together how to send this high-tech equipment back to Berlin in its entirety.
The radar terminal in western Sichuan County, located on the high mountain near the town of western Sichuan, is larger in terms of size, as high as a two-story building, but has departed from the early skeleton appearance, but a flat and smooth semi-curved surface, when it comes to comprehensive performance, it is naturally several steps, not only can rotate 360 degrees, but also the effective scanning radius, increased to 160 kilometers, unless it is a non-metallic wooden aircraft, otherwise the enemy aircraft will definitely not escape the capture of the radar.
After seeing the radar entity, Falkenhausen was also a lot more cheerful, and he gave a thumbs up without hesitation, praised Commander Liu as a Christ, and then went to the radar operation room, which really opened his eyes, not only has a plane display, but also a height display, and a three-dimensional sand table that simulates three dimensions.
In order to prove the advanced nature of the western Sichuan radar, Liu Yun ordered the western Sichuan Flight Teaching Corps to immediately take off a squadron to simulate the situation of enemy planes attacking, and the radar detection system immediately reacted.
The large-scale radar technology that has just been introduced, although very rudimentary and rugged, makes people feel like a dream.
Falkenhausen didn't appreciate it much, Liu Yun took him to see the miniaturized radar, this radar is only more than two meters high, if it is placed on a warship, there is no problem at all, and the detection range is only a pitiful 90 kilometers.
However, for Falkenhausen, this is already very good, sounding radar is not a secret in Europe and the United States, even Germany itself is researching, but unfortunately it costs a lot, but the results of research are few, there is still a long way to go from the real maturity and practicality, and even German scientists are arrogant to think that the situation in Europe and the United States is similar, and they do not care too much about the progress of neighboring countries.
Seeing the two radars, Falkenhausen was shocked, but he did not neglect its manufacturer because of this, so he keenly consulted Commander Liu whether such an advanced radar was invented by Kawanishi himself or by foreign experts, and if it was imported from abroad, which country's technology it was.
Liu Yun didn't say much, and directly took out a bunch of technical manuscripts, which were still in English, and the specific origin was clear, it was the technology of the British to aid the United States, although the performance parameters were already a little backward, but the time of development was clearly marked, "1934", which made General Haosen speechless for a long time.
Subsequently, Commander Liu took out his own improvement materials, including large radar and small radar, all kinds of written materials together, it is only about ten kilograms, but there are three or four corresponding models, if they are nailed into boxes, it is only fifty kilograms, only the two radars are too big, and it is a little troublesome to load them into submarines.
This is also difficult for Liu Yun and Zhinao, first modularize the large radar, and then order the ant robot to rebuild a set of finished products, so that it is easy to put into a wooden box, and after shipping back to Berlin, it is easy for German experts to assemble it.
The radar problem was quickly taken care of, and it was just waiting for the general counsel to be shipped back to Germany.
How is it worked? Is it still like the previous transport of tanks, which took off from the West Sichuan Airport, went directly to the Kongshi Airport in Wuhan, and then transported them to the coast of China by German destroyers, and finally quietly loaded into ocean-going submarines and secretly transported back to Berlin from the bottom of the ocean?
In this way, it is feasible but feasible, but it is a little more cumbersome, because the Yangtze River basin is the traditional sphere of influence of the British, and it is a great risk to want to transit through the Yangtze River and Wuhan, not to mention that this technology is too advanced to be overlooked, and Falkenhausen is also anxious about it.
However, Liu Yun quickly thought of a countermeasure, and asked with a slight frown, "General Haosen, if you can send these technical materials to Guangdong, I wonder if your ocean-going submarine can be properly transported?" ”
Guangdong, Falkenhausen was also stunned, and couldn't help but ponder carefully, Huaxia's submarine training base is located in the area of Guangzhou, and since he usually doesn't go there many times, he can't talk about it for a while, so he has to ask Commander Liu to wait and let him discuss it with the submarine advisers of the Nanjing government.
Of course, there is no problem, the communication equipment of the secret base in western Sichuan is basically the best communication equipment in China, theoretically speaking, it is not a problem to contact Berlin, not to mention that Commander Liu also has the plug-in of the brain, all technical problems can be solved, and the contact with Nanjing is even more trivial.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Falkenhausen had no choice but to eagerly submit to power, and he did not care about leaking any secrets, and directly spoke to his subordinates through the wireless telegraph of the secret base, and after he asked about the situation of the submarine base in Guangdong, he also asked the German advisory group in Nanjing to make urgent contact with Berlin, report the incident of the western Sichuan radar in a special cryptic language, and promptly solicit the opinions of Hitler, von Seckt, and others.
The Germans were extremely efficient, and the next morning, Kawanishi received an official reply from Berlin, and Hitler only emphasized one point, asking Falkenhausen to send this item back to Berlin as soon as possible, and as for the alliance with Japan, he would cautiously reconsider, and the conditions of Germany on the matter of forming an alliance with Japan were also extremely harsh, so that the Chinese side should not have any unusual thoughts.
The answer was so vague, Liu Yun was also a little uncomfortable, fortunately, this guy knows what is right and wrong, who called Huaxia so weak, even if the Germans really only eat and not vomit, he can only gamble, but Hitler really dares to do this, and the revenge of Western Sichuan will definitely be very tragic, what are the Achilles' heels of the Germans, even if other people are not clear, are they from the 21st century, it is not clear.
Since Berlin had agreed, many things would be easier to do, and Falkenhausen connected the telegraph room of Chiang's commissariat and asked the Nanjing government to assist in transporting technical materials.
At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth route of the transport plane, Jiang Weizuo also personally contacted the giants such as Long Yun in Yunnan, Li Zongren in Guangxi, and Li Jishen in Guangdong, hoping that they could do their best to assist and ensure the successful completion of the international transportation mission.
In a word, if something happens to anyone, bring it up to see you.
Lao Jiang's current prestige and power have reached a peak, and almost no one dares to discount his orders, and the giants have promised to complete the task within three days, and even suffer heavy losses because of this, because Lao Jiang is the first time in so many years that he is so loud, so it is definitely a matter of great importance.
Although warlords like to fight back and forth, when it comes to business, they can still distinguish which is more important than the other, especially when it comes to national and national affairs, they are all cautious, for fear of leaving the name of traitor and traitor, Lao Jiang asked them to use their lives as a guarantee, and they naturally did it at all costs.
Three days passed quickly, and a DC-3 transport plane took off from Guangzhou Airport, passing through Guilin, Kunming and Chengdu, and went directly to West Sichuan International Airport.
As soon as the pilot got off the plane, he immediately made representations to the western Sichuan side and gave a detailed report on the temporary airports in Guangzhou, Guilin, and Kunming, as well as the air conditions along the way.
Commander Liu still expects this guy to lead the way, how can he let him strike so easily.
A therapeutic solution was poured down, and the pilot was immediately resurrected on the spot, and then he had the strength to say his own name, his name is Li Yangzi Willy, his ancestral home is Chaoshan, Fuzhou, his parents are Hong Kong Chinese, he studied at a British flight school, he is a special pilot in the Guangdong Air Force, and is currently the first squadron leader of the Guangdong Special Flight Team, with the rank of major.
Liu Yun, in his capacity as the supreme commander of western Sichuan, immediately ordered Major Li to lead the way, and he would personally pilot the Flying Bear III transport plane to transport the technical data and key modules of the radar to the submarine base in Guangdong as soon as possible.
General-level pilot, Li Willy can be regarded as an eye-opener, he also thought that Commander Liu would order him to fly the Flying Bear III. transport plane, and he was even ready to bargain, such as asking for a DC-3 transport plane or something, which was a villain in vain, so he had to obediently be his navigator.
The comprehensive performance of the Flying Bear III transport aircraft is not weaker than the DC-3 aircraft, with a height of 5.2 meters, a length of 19.6 meters, a wingspan of 26.2 meters, a propeller radius of 1.3 meters, a power of 3200 horsepower, an empty weight of 5.8 tons, a maximum take-off of 13 tons, a maximum range of 3300 kilometers, and a cargo capacity of 5.4 tons.
If Liu Yun dares to gamble, he can even fly directly to Guangdong Airport, fortunately, Commander Liu has long been no longer interested, how to ensure the completion of this transportation task, is his top priority, as for wanting to play handsome, it is not impossible, to wait for him to complete the task, do not rule out another beautiful direct flight.
In order to ensure the safety of this time, even the Brandenburg special forces, who had forgotten to return, were pulled over by Falkenhausen and ordered them to accompany them and personally escort the materials back to Berlin, and everyone would be rewarded after the mission was completed.
Liu Yun had no choice but to settle the salaries of the special forces, and each person's salary was 100 kilograms of gold.
As for Willy Lee's DC-3 transport plane, it is also idle when it is idle, just so that this guy can transport special forces and gold, and it can also lead the way by the way. By the way, Guangdong has not yet set a precedent for purchasing a fighter plane, so this time it sent two of them over as a greeting gift to Chairman Li Jishen, which is really a triple win.
With Li Weili leading the way in front and Commander Liu's therapeutic agent as support, the flight group was quite smooth in the process of flying to Guangdong, except for a few important airports along the way, which stopped for a short time to recuperate, there was basically no pause, and after flying for more than 10 hours, the transport plane group landed safely at the temporary airport.
The rest is the Germans' own business, Falkenhausen commanded the German soldiers, sent several tons of data and key modules of radar to the ocean-going submarine, and then said goodbye to Liu Yun and others one by one, not to mention the German general, and planned to personally escort him, so I wish him a smooth journey.
