After thinking about it, Zhang Chi seemed to understand something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"What happened to our aircraft plant?" Zhang Chi asked.

"Aircraft factory?" Liu Zhenguo was stumped by this question: "I haven't heard much! ”

"I know about some aircraft factories!" An assistant replied: "The aircraft factory is basically empty, and there are only a few people left to look at the warehouse!" ”

Although this situation was not unexpected, Zhang Chi still asked: "Why is this happening?" ”

They said......" The assistant replied: "There are so many and good planes from the Yankees that we can't catch up with the planes we produce ourselves, so why are we building them?" So ......"

"Stupid!" Zhang Chi stood up suddenly.

After walking back and forth on the side for a few steps, Zhang Chi asked again: "What about the shipyard?" ”

"The shipyard is about the same!" The assistant replied: "The specifics are not very clear, but civilian ships have always been produced!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning, Wang Mazi obviously fell into a trap set by the Yankees.

Yes, the United States sending warplanes and warships is a trap, a trap that kills people without seeing blood.

As I said before, you can't just ask for arms, even if you give them away for free, you must be cautious, because this is related to the defense, military and even politics of a country or region.

Just like now, the United States has so generously given the expeditionary force a large number of fighters, including many "hellcats" with excellent performance.

It seems like a good thing, and it's a great thing.

But the problem that arises from this is...... Do you still want to produce airplanes yourself?

You must know that the aircraft factories of the expeditionary force were all moved from the Northeast, and the main production is the kind of obsolete aircraft without cockpit canopies, who will use this kind of aircraft to produce?

If it were other Chinese armies, it might be useful, but this is an expeditionary force, an expeditionary force with a lot of American aid...... In particular, the United States also sent a large number of fighters at this time and promised to continue to replenish them in the future, which gave everyone a false impression that the advanced aircraft in their hands could not be used up, so the backward aircraft factory should be thrown aside!

Needless to say, the military industrial system of the expeditionary force will be severely hit or even collapsed, and talent will not only not gather but will be lost, and it will be ...... over time The expeditionary force will turn into a puppet of the United States, for the simple reason that it will not produce anything on its own, it will have nothing but American equipment.

So the United States has to do whatever it tells you to do, otherwise, it will turn you into an undefended area at every turn.

This method may still be very new in this era, and it can even be said that not many people can understand it, but for Zhang Chi...... That's a clichΓ©.

Seeing Zhang Chi's appearance, Liu Zhenguo didn't dare to come out, and it took a long time for Liu Zhenguo to muster up the courage to ask: "General, is there any problem?" ”

Zhang Chi thought about it and felt that the less people understood about this matter, the better, after all, the relationship between the expeditionary force and the United States was still very delicate at this time.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the United States is sending planes and warships in an attempt to sabotage the military industry of the expeditionary force, the United States is also wary of the expeditionary force...... It should be said that this is not wary, but from the perspective of national interests and becoming the world leader, the United States must control as many forces as possible that it can control.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chi scolded with a big grin: "How can you not build an airplane?" We have Yankee planes, but aren't there still many armies in the Northeast that are not equipped? Besides, even if the army can't use it, it's good to build some transport planes to transport people! ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Liu Zhenguo and others were relieved when they heard Zhang Chi say this.

Of course, this is just an excuse for relaxation.

After Liu Zhenguo and the others left, Zhang Chi immediately sent a telegram to Wang Mazi: "Commander, no matter what the situation, don't give up the aircraft factory and shipyard!" ”

Soon after, Wang Mazi replied: "What do you want those things for?" We have a good plane for the Yankees! ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel bitter for a while, but it was not suitable to say too much in the telegram, so he could only reply: "Listen to me, immediately recruit those workers back to re-produce, even if the produced aircraft are sold to the Northeast at half price, they will be produced!" ”

"What? Isn't this a loss-making business? Wang Mazi replied: "Did you confuse you by fighting?" ”

But in the end, Wang Mazi still did what Zhang Chi said, because he knew it from previous experience...... Listen to this guy, no matter what it is!

However, Wang Mazi's side got it done, and Zhang Chi's side fell into distress again.

It won't work for a long time like this, even if you do a "loss-making business" to keep talents, but those planes are backward planes after all, and talents are also backward talents.

Zhang Chi thought about Basille and other French scientists, these guys are from Air France, and they have the experience and technology to produce airplanes, but on the one hand, they are busy with the matter of "airplane missiles", and on the other hand, they are too clever women to cook without rice, and their technology that is actually used in the French system may not make a difference in the face of China's weak equipment.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi decided to go to Eisenhower.

"Arrange to get off the plane!" Zhang Chi said to the staff officer: "I'm going to Sicily!" ”

"Yes!"

As a reputable commander, the benefit is that traffic is always on the green light for you...... If Zhang Chi has something, the US military will arrange the itinerary as soon as possible, even if the transportation situation is tight.

So more than an hour later, Zhang Chi walked into Eisenhower's office.

"Oh, Major General!" It was quite surprising to see Eisenhower's visit, because Zhang Chi was usually busy at the front line commanding the Zoaf Corps.

"Welcome, Major General!" Eisenhower stood up and shook Zhang Chi's hand, then teased: "I thought that if it wasn't for the meeting, you wouldn't have come to see me, a bad old man!" ”

Zhang Chi replied: "I have to think about the tight supply of aviation fuel!" ”

Eisenhower couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right!" Zhang Chi said straight to the point: "I hope to get the production line of 'Wildcat' fighters and 'Dreadnought' bombers!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Eisenhower couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head and said: "Major General, this is not a trivial matter, and this matter is not in my charge, I may not be able to do anything!" ”

"I know!" Zhang Chi replied: "But you can relay my thoughts to Washington, can't you?" I'm sure if you do, Washington will agree to my request! ”

"Oh!" Eisenhower looked at Zhang Chi, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and after a while he said: "Tell me, if I think it makes sense, I am willing to convey it to you!" ”
