$100 million for five sets of catapults, the price is really staggering.

However, even at first glance, you have to buy it.

Horton is well aware of that.

If Starling hadn't developed the same catapult, maybe they could have hesitated, but with the Soviets soon equipped with a catapult of the same class, they would have to get it in the shortest possible time anyway, and they had no choice.

"Your Excellency, I will report back to Your Excellency the President."

Horton said helplessly.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Jensen didn't speak beside him, he knew very well that such a price was too high for Britain, and $100 million was a huge amount of money that was completely unbearable for the shy British government, if it was also this price, I am afraid that they would rather develop it themselves, nothing more than spend more time, after all, Britain is not a United States, and there is no need to do everything possible to maintain absolute superiority at sea.

"Führer, the Air Force has achieved a great victory in Java, shooting down the 32-MiG-9 of the Javanese Red Army at the cost of losing two Meteors, and pursuing them until their airfield, before retreating due to the attack of anti-aircraft fire from the ground."

At this time, Hu Hao walked up to Yang Feng and said excitedly.

"Ah, look, the Soviets are nothing more than that!"

Yang Feng said proudly.

Indeed, the results of this air battle soon became the best material for European and American newspapers to ridicule the Soviets, although the MiG-9 was no longer the best fighter of the Soviet Union, but it was also a jet fighter, and the score of 2 to 32 was too exaggerated, not to mention the pilot factor. Everyone knows inside the Javanese Red Army. At least half of the pilots were actually Soviets. The reason for this disparity in scores can only prove that the performance of Soviet fighters is rubbish.

The final result of this mentality was that on the subsequent battlefield of Goryeo, at the initial stage, the coalition forces were slapped by the MiG-15 because of the idea of underestimating the enemy, and it was then that they finally came to their senses.

Horton and Jensen smiled cooperatively and praised the victory of the Ming Air Force, but this result did surprise them. The opponent is also a fighter of the same level, playing such a result, in addition to the better performance of the aircraft, I am afraid that the quality of the pilot is also very important, it is obvious that the Ming Air Force has truly grown into an elite division that can match any major power.

Speaking of which, these guys are growing up fast enough, just like the country behind them.

With a hint of emotion, Horton immediately went to send a report to Truman, but Jensen said to Yang Feng with a smile: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, ...... Führer"

"Your Excellency, Ambassador,"

Yang Feng stopped him and said, "I sell it to your country at the same price, this will not change, but I have another way." If your country fulfills my three requirements, then I will not only give you five sets of catapults for free. And I will give you a full set of technical information. ”

"Führer, please."

Jensen said overjoyed.

"First, I need two battleships, and they don't need to be old, at least of the George V class."

Yang Feng stretched out a finger and said.

Well, Jensen understood that His Excellency the Führer had set his sights on the recently decommissioned George V-class battleships, and this year because the finances could no longer continue to support them, the Labour government decommissioned three George V-class battleships, and then converted the Howe into training ships, and it was clear that this guy who always liked to row and pull battleships was going to get two of them as toys for himself.

"Second, give me a full set of design drawings for the Kunlun aircraft carrier."

Yang Feng stretched out his second finger and said.

"Führer, are you going to build your own aircraft carrier?"

Jensen said in surprise.

"Why not? Staling will soon have five heavy aircraft carriers, even if he is not all deployed in the Far East, at least two for the Pacific Fleet, I can't just rely on one Kunlun and one Dreadnought that can't carry jet fighters to meet him, right? Could it be that the Royal Navy will come to my aid in the war? ”

Yang Feng said.

Jensen said no more.

"Third, you have to sell me nuclear materials."

Yang Feng raised his third finger and said.

"Your Excellency, we don't have such a thing either."

Jensen said embarrassedly.

"No, no, you're mistaken, I'm not going to make high-purity enriched uranium or plutonium for atomic bombs, I only need low-purity, about five percent, I guess this kind of pure material shouldn't be too much of a problem for your nuclear plant, right?"

Yang Feng said.

How good is this, all the problems are solved at once, two George V-class battleships, although this kind of thing will basically say goodbye to naval warfare in the future, but it is still very effective to suppress the shore, the people of the United States can take the Missouri to bomb Lao Sa in the nineties, he got George V to bomb Comrade Musseau, Comrade Ruan Aiguo, uh, these comrades are still good.

And get the design drawings of the Kunlun, you can solve the design problem of the aircraft carrier in the shortest possible time, don't think that there is an aircraft carrier can be built according to it, in this era without computers, even according to the Kunlun survey and drawing drawings is a difficult project, such an aircraft carrier needs drawings to be calculated in tons, if there are original drawings, at least the surveying and mapping procedure is omitted, and the remaining enlargement will be much simpler.

As for the last one is crucial, he is not interested in building his own nuclear plant in a short period of time, he must have a stable supplier of nuclear materials, this job can be left to the British, and after ten or eight years, he can play centrifuge, in the final analysis, this is the king, and the gas diffusion separation method is a little behind after all.

As for whether the Britons will agree ...

"Your Excellency, I will report to the Prime Minister immediately."

Jensen said.

In fact, he didn't need to report it, and he knew that Attlee would not refuse.

The core of this transaction is actually the two battleships, but the George V class has been decommissioned, for them it is just a pile of scrap iron, dismantling and selling scrap iron may not be able to sell the shipbreaking fee, although this kind of treasure is usually not sold, but Britain is no longer the Britain of the past, at least in Asia they have nothing to worry about, or they no longer need to think about who is weak and who is strong, anyway, it has nothing to do with them.

Although there was still a colony in Malaya, it was in fact controlled by the Chinese capitalists, and the guerrillas were still rampant, and the wise people had already seen that this colony would have to be established sooner or later.

In this case, whether Yang Feng's strength is enhanced or not is already a very irrelevant matter for Britain, and even if he really wants to snatch North Borneo from Britain with his current strength, the British government can only admit that it is unlucky.

As for the aircraft carrier drawings, this is not worth mentioning, if there is not a procedural problem, he can directly agree to Yang Feng.

Although the nuclear material is quite sensitive, since it is of low purity, it is not a big deal, in fact, Yang Feng does not have them even if they want high purity, the factories of Carpenhets and Winskel have not yet been able to produce weapons-grade uranium and plutonium, otherwise Britain's atomic bomb would have exploded early, and they were pitted by the United States.

In fact, just as he thought, a telegram from London was soon sent, and the British government agreed to all of Yang Feng's conditions, gave him the design of the Kunlun aircraft carrier, sold him low-purity nuclear materials, and gave him the No. 4 ship of the George V class, the Anson, and the No. 5 ship, which had been converted into a training ship. These two ships can basically be regarded as the best in all the George V class, because they were put into service relatively late, in addition to better radar and electronic equipment, the most criticized quadruple turret failure rate has also been improved to a certain extent.

And not only gave it to him, but also specially repaired it, anyway, there are two ships that were decommissioned at the same time, it is nothing more than to dismantle some relatively new parts for him to replace, re-spray paint and dress up beautifully, Yang Yuantou is very happy, maybe I will have to continue to buy catapults from him in the future.

In fact, the Britons knew very well that even if Yang Feng gave them the drawings, it was difficult to say whether they needed to make this thing themselves!

After Attlee agreed to Yang Feng's conditions, Truman soon agreed, 100 million US dollars, five sets of catapults and all technical information, and delivery within three months.

The reason why it is so happy is mainly that in the past few days, after some bloody efforts, the CIA finally learned about the latest progress of Soviet catapults.

According to the information they have received, Staling will install the first set of catapults on aircraft carriers at the most in the second half of next year, and they are indeed in the process of developing a twin-engine carrier-based aircraft by the Yakovlev Design Bureau. The prototype had completed test flights, using the Yak-25 designation, but not the light fighter they had previously developed, which had actually been defeated and cancelled by the MiG-15, but still used that designation, and it was this camouflage that confused the CIA.

The CIA always thought that the Yak-25 they were developing was still the original one, but in fact it was completely different, using two of the latest Mikulin engines, as for other things, the CIA couldn't get it, the only thing that could be known was just a rumor, that is, the thrust-to-weight ratio of this engine was very high, even close to five, and the use of this engine could even exceed the speed of sound in level flight.

This information shocked the people of the United States into a cold sweat, Nima, this Starling is so cunning, he was almost deceived by him, who knew that he held back such a big move silently, this is a super saber level thing, but the United States naval aviation, let alone a super saber, even the sea saber is still gone!

They are now test flying, and they should be in service in five or three years at the latest.

If it weren't for Yang Feng's well-informed, two years later Stalin would have driven out the aircraft carrier with this fighter...

The consequences are unimaginable! (To be continued.) )
