Jiang Li directly opened a price and said, from the United States, a little time-consuming and time-consuming, and at this time the northwest steel industry expanded rapidly, especially after obtaining the iron ore in Baotou, there is indeed a big gap in talents, technical workers, and it is too late to transfer so many manpower to Sichuan, although the Soviet Union's metal smelting technology is not necessarily much stronger than that of the northwest, but as long as the other party is willing to help, it is always good.

"It's okay, I'll truthfully transfer the commander's request back home. However, don't you think the requirements made by His Excellency the General Commander are too high compared to what they have paid? I don't think this deal will go through. ”

Bollev hesitated for a moment and said, if it was in normal times, Jiang Li's request would naturally be nothing, but at this time, the situation in Europe has become increasingly tense, and steel production is extremely important for any country at the moment.

"I can't help it, now the northwest has to be responsible for operations in several directions, and even at this juncture, I have to personally come forward to take charge, if I can have one-tenth of your country's strength, I don't have to work so hard. The army below wants guns and bullets to fight, what can I do? However, your country's efforts will not be in vain, and the more the strength of the northwest is improved, the more casualties will be inflicted on the Japanese army. If your country finds it inconvenient, you can first provide a batch of steel smelting equipment to our country, and at the same time I will place a batch of orders with the United States, and then make up for the equipment from that side to your country. Your country is just delaying a little time, and there will be no real loss, will it? Of course, I can also provide cash and foreign exchange, which I believe your country still needs. Jiang Li said with a wry smile.

"In this way, there is some possibility." Bollev nodded, of course, the Soviet Union did not fund the Northwest for free, or Nanjing. Jiang Li Bollev was a little dissatisfied with the selection of weapons that was too strict, so that the Northwest wanted to take advantage of the war with Japan in the Northwest and use the hard-earned money of the Northwest to help the Soviet Union replace more new equipment. Fortunately, Nanjing is not so tricky as the northwest. With previous trading experience, Bollev didn't think that building a steel plant of this scale would fool Jiang Li with equipment. In a word, the money in the Northwest is not so easy to pit. According to Jiang Li's meaning, it was just to let the Soviet Union provide equipment first, and the equipment from the United States would arrive more slowly, and then make up for the Soviet Union's deficit in this regard. Counting it up, the USSR just delayed a little. This is not unacceptable.

However, in Bollev's opinion, Jiang Li seemed to be a little too anxious. It's just that he doesn't know that the Soviet Union has a big business, and this time can afford to delay, but now time is the most scarce thing for the northwest industry that has entered the take-off stage. At present, the time for Japan to go north and south is getting tighter and tighter, and once it reaches that pass, it will be even more difficult for the northwest to get equipment from outside. Now that Feng Yong's group is getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Li always uses the fastest speed to withdraw funds and exchange them for various machine tools, and the equipment is transported to the northwest. The Soviet Union could afford to delay this time, but the Northwest could not afford to delay.

"These Soviets, it's really tight. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must come back with revenge. As soon as Bollev left, Yang Ying walked out of the side hall, and Yang Ying felt very uncomfortable in the tone of questioning Jiang Li about Bollev's aggressive arrival, and at this time she stared at the direction of Bollev's departure with a frosty face.

"Those who know the times are junjie, and there are still many places in the northwest that rely on the Soviet Union. Tomahawk tanks only, the USSR wanted, just give them to them. Jiang Li didn't care, Bollev hit a few nails in Lanzhou, which made the Soviets who had recently turned the northwest into their backyard naturally unhappy. Of course, Jiang Li on Mr. Zhou's side also said hello, so Bollev's coming to Luoyang from Lanzhou was also his intentional promotion.

"This time the movement of the giant deer is indeed bigger, and it is normal to not hide it from the Soviets, in this case, there is no need to hide the results of the battle, we have recently fought several large-scale battles with the Japanese army have ended in failure, and we also need some victories to boost our morale. In addition, the general-purpose machine gun of the Fire Snake and some new weapons produced by the arsenals in the northwest in the future should be kept strictly secret, and unless there were unavoidable factors, it was necessary to try not to arouse the vigilance of the Soviets. ”

"Do not alert the Soviets? I'm afraid it's not realistic, none of the weapons that come out of your hands are vulgar. It will definitely shine on the battlefield in the future. Yang Yingmei said with a smile on her eyes.

"That's for sure, if it were a vulgar thing, I wouldn't take it out." Jiang Li admired Yang Ying's reasoning a little, in fact, some of the weapon designs he secretly provided to the Northwest Arsenal were through other channels, and not directly through Yang Ying, in order to avoid people's eyes as much as possible, but Yang Ying was still aware of it, to say that Feng Chuyan's ability is not bad, but it is more manifested in financial management, and there is an old mother at home, a husband and a child, and he can't leave Lanzhou for a while. In this kind of intelligence analysis, Yang Ying is indeed the most effective person under Jiang Li. When he was in Lanzhou before, most of them were accompanied by Feng Chuyan, and after coming to Luoyang this time, Jiang Li also intended to make up for Yang Ying's shortcomings.

"The sample gun of the Fire Snake general-purpose machine gun will be sent to Luoyang soon, I really don't know, I heard that the test data in all aspects is very good, I really don't understand, you have such an excellent weapon in your hand, why didn't you take it out earlier." Yang Ying was a little incomprehensible.

"Some weapons, not the sooner they appear, the better. The industrial strength of the Northwest was not good before, and even if it was taken out, this general-purpose machine gun had better performance than the previous heavy machine gun and was easier to produce. But the production capacity of the Northwest itself is not high, and the paper cannot cover the fire, and it will also be taken away by the Soviets. I don't want the Northwest Army to be acquired by the Soviets before it was massively equipped with this kind of machine gun, and even spread to Japan through some channels. ”

Jiang Li smiled coldly, the Fire Snake general-purpose machine gun was taken out by Jiang Li after making a slight improvement to the famous German MG42 general-purpose machine gun in history. Both in terms of firepower and range, it threw off the light and heavy machine guns in service in the northwest a few streets. The reliability and durability of MG42 have been tested in history, and more importantly, compared with the imitation German heavy machine gun in the northwest, it can also save at least 30% of the cost, and at the same time, the man-hours and materials used in the production of the fire tongue heavy machine gun are even more than half of the imitation German machine gun in the Northwest Army.
