Chapter 325: The Age of Hypocrisy

Just as the subcontinent is gradually moving towards peace......

Even if this peace comes at the cost of the humiliation of the Tianzhu people.

At this time, the dawn of peace on the distant battlefield of Goryeo was also revealed, because the people of the United States finally won a victory, a real victory that had not been seen for a long time.

The sixth campaign is over.

According to their judgment, when the ammunition reserves of the Volunteer Army were about to run out, they suddenly launched a counterattack on all fronts with hundreds of thousands of troops, including the entire nine US divisions, and even the 82nd Airborne Division engaged in large-scale airborne operations.

The volunteers, who were already on the verge of the limit of attack, coupled with the severe cold in the north and the bombing that restricted their transportation capacity, finally failed to withstand the US counteroffensive, and had to retreat on all fronts, and even retreated to the Han River in one go.

Eventually, most of the occupied areas south of the demarcation line, including Seoul, were lost, and even the U.S. forces attacked north of the demarcation line, and the current front is almost exactly the same as it was after the five battles in history.

However, this victory did not discourage Truman, who immediately demanded peace talks between the two sides.

The reason is very simple, the price paid by the US army for this victory was too great, to the point of shocking, and in the entire campaign, including the contraction in the early stage and the counteroffensive in the later stage, the number of US troops killed and missing exceeded 20,000, and three divisions, including the 82 nd Airborne Division, were almost disabled. All other participating units suffered heavy losses. The Australian brigade was even completely annihilated. You know, the kangaroos have always been the fiercest of the coalition forces. As a result, during the counteroffensive, he was lured into an ambush circle by the volunteers.

Excluding the South Korean Army, the combined casualties of the coalition forces were close to 70,000.

Obviously, with such a casualty ratio, it is completely impossible to hit the Yalu River, and it is not enough to wipe out all the coalition forces on the battlefield of Goryeo.

Peace talks are the only option.

Comrade Li immediately responded and agreed to negotiate.

It was clear that he had been waiting for this opportunity as well.

"You see how good this is, everyone sit down and talk calmly, what problems can't be solved? It's so boring to fight and kill, you see I don't like to fight and kill! ”

Yang Feng said to Johnson with relief.

The latter smiled speechlessly. Yang Yuan's thick skin can be regarded as a new realm in his opinion.

Their negotiations with Comrade Li were still through Yang Feng, the intermediary, after all, he had always been worried about this matter, and Truman also wanted to mend the relationship between the two sides, so as not to cause more trouble during the peace talks, he had had enough trouble recently, and now he just wanted to end the Goryeo War as quickly as possible, as for the future......

His term of office is coming to an end, and he has the heart to think about anything else.

Similarly, Yang Feng also wants to take the opportunity to reheat the relationship. Tianzhu has been beaten down by him, and the next most important thing is to be able to pick this ripe apple steadily. And the United States is the only country that can interfere with this process, and proper repair is essential.

Although both sides know that the current repair is full of hypocrisy, it is still necessary to hypocrisy in the case of need, and this hypocrisy also needs some icing on the cake.

For example, the U.S. government agreed to cooperate with the two sides to develop a new jet trainer aircraft.

The tender for their trainer has ended, and Cessna's plan has been successful, so this historical T37 trainer will be jointly developed by Kunpeng and Cessna, and Cessna will be mainly responsible for production, including production. After all, Kunpeng now has a bunch of orders from fighters to bombers and even regional airliners waiting to be produced, and there is no time to do such a small job, and the Tamron series engines do not have such small thrust. As a partner, Daming invested 30 percent in the project, but only obtained the right to equip this training aircraft with the US military, and also had the right to improve this training aircraft.

Cessna has no opinion on this, this is just an inconspicuous small company, and it is simply flattering that a giant like Kunpeng can cooperate with them, not to mention that Yang Yuanfeng also agreed to sell them Xiangfeng-1 turboprop engines.

This engine is a sought-after item on the market.

In addition, there is also the Ming Royal Army Weapons Factory, which sells the production rights of 105mm tank guns to the United States.

This tank gun has always been what the United States wants, but at present, the only producer other than the Ming Dynasty is Britain, they refused to sell it to the United States on the grounds that there was a contract when it was introduced, although in fact the United States also got some technical information, but after all, it is not very assured, after all, the product performance of the Britons is not as good as Yang Feng's, or to find the source of technology to introduce a complete set of more assured.

Of course, what Yang Feng gave them could not be a full set of things, such as the electroslag furnace must not be given, and the self-tightening technology of the body tube must not be given, but in terms of ammunition technology, you might as well show generosity and give them the technology of shelling and armor-piercing bullets.

But it is only a short-rod armor-piercing projectile, and the long-rod tail stabilized shell-out armor-piercing bullet cannot be given.

The shell-piercing shell is not a high-end technology, the symbol of the Briton 17-pounder tank gun in World War II, Xie Mantou Firefly is guaranteed to be confident in the face of the tiger, but the work of the rifled gun to do the smoothbore gun is not so simple, and the problem of just one projectile body rotation is a hard injury, especially on the dart-like long-rod armor-piercing projectile, this problem is very prominent, so there must be a sliding cartridge belt.

And this combination can be pulled out to support the field in the 80s, and Yang Yuantou will not be cheap outsiders.

Not to mention the Americans, even the Britons did not give it, and even the armored forces of the Ming army themselves would not be distributed if they were not in wartime, and when they needed to face enemy tanks.

Of course, this is enough for the United States, at this time, the tank artillery technology of the United States is really not the strongest, only know how to add caliber and propellant to the top, before this bet is on the M103 heavy tank. Like the conquistadors who were also frightened out by the Britons 3, they all used the M58 120 mm tank guns modified from large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the muzzle velocity was not as good as the 105 guns of the tabula rasa given to the Britons by Yang Feng.

But because of the huge size and tragic backseat distance. So that these two tank tonnages are running for the Tiger King. Take the M103 as an example. Even if the gasoline engine produced by Continental Corporation, which also uses 800 horsepower, and the gun is modified and simplified, the result can only make this tank weighing nearly 60 tons a maximum speed of more than 30 kilometers.

RPG party loves such iron turtles to death.

Even the Leopard tank, which has a maximum speed of more than sixty, can be knocked out six by the Tianzhu people on the battlefield with this thing, and if it is replaced by such a tank, it is estimated that the people of the United States will have to pile up infantry around it on the battlefield to fight.

So now the Britons have simply abandoned the developing conqueror and instead upgraded the centurion with the 105 cannon.

And the Mi people are also ready to abandon the M103 and upgrade the M48 with the 105 gun. It is estimated that Yang Feng can see the birth of the Yonghu tank very interestingly in this era.

Of course, these are no longer important to him, anyway, he, like the Britons back then, has spread this classic gun to the world, in addition to the United States, Britain and the Gauls and Swedes have bought the production rights, the result of the former is estimated to be AXM30, and the result of the latter is likely to be the first bizarre S-type tank in history.

Well, although it is a bit unfair to say this, after all, in terms of combat needs and various performance indicators, the S tank is still very qualified.

And other countries in Europe that do not have the ability to develop tanks. The vast majority have already set their sights on the leopard, and the drawings of the Henschel leopard have been completed. In fact, at the beginning of the design of this tank, Yingtian Heavy Industries had already completed the design of the enlarged version with Henschel, and now it is just to take out the drawings and then hand them over to the West German Ministry of Defense for confirmation.

And in order to respond to emergencies before this, Yang Feng has sold them a hundred original Leopards, or it can also be said that the monkey version of the Leopards, not only the frontal armor has been replaced with homogeneous steel armor, but other passive night vision devices, analog ballistic computers and other things have also been dismantled, and they have been replaced with active infrared night vision devices.

Despite this, with the two brilliant victories of the Leopard tank, especially the second victory that completely shattered the myth of Staling 3, these 100 Leopard tanks still greatly boosted the spirits of the people of Western Europe. Coupled with the two-seat Wind Chase and Thunderbolt air-to-air missiles that have already begun to be delivered, the Great Wall of Steel built by the Ming Empire in the hearts of the people of Western Europe can be regarded as laying a solid foundation. Even Norway, with the Ming Imperial Bank agreeing to a loan, has officially chosen this fighter and a single-seat version of the Wind Chaser to defend its skies.

Of course, as a condition of the loan, Imperial Oil also acquired a sizable exploration area in the North Sea.

During this time, Imperial Oil was in the limelight, not only the North African United Oil, which was a joint venture with British Petroleum, Scallops, and Aquitain, discovered a giant oil field in Libya, discovered a giant natural gas field in Algeria, but also discovered an onshore and an offshore oil field in Trusil Oman, a British protectorate, one after another, not including the Mumbai oil field that could not wait to be announced just after the armistice, and now the drilling equipment of Imperial Oil has been transported to the port of Mumbai, and the dead bodies of the poor Tianzhu people have not been cleaned up!

The face of greed is outrageous.

However, the news that the international oil price fell below two dollars a barrel made the Ming and European capitalists cheer the greatness of the Führer!

"Two dollars are more, even one dollar is more, or as long as you buy it with dollars, it is not too much."

Yang Feng said to his chief manager.

In fact, at this time, the purchase of oil by the dragon dollar in his sphere of influence has replaced the original dollar, for example, the countries of the East Indies, including the Sunda Republic, whether they buy oil or other minerals, are settled in the dragon dollar, and the same is true in Assam, Jinnah also agreed that the oil in the Mumbai oil field will be settled in the dragon dollar in the future.

But outside of these places, it is still necessary to settle in US dollars.

This is another irreconcilable contradiction between him and the Mi people, but the Mi people can't do anything, after all, it is their freedom to do businessmen what currency they want, although Daming gold is forbidden to leave the country, but the dragon yuan is still freely convertible, which is unique in the whole world. As the last currency to stick to the classical gold standard, it is normal to be popular, and want to compete with the dragon dollar in this regard, unless the dollar is also free convertibility, but then the Bretton Woods system will be over.

However, although the rift between the two sides is expanding, it has not yet reached the point where they cannot tolerate each other, after all, the two sides have a common enemy.

For the people of the United States, Yang Feng is ambitious, but no matter how ambitious he is, can he be ambitious to go past Stalin? At most, he is a small tyrant in Southeast Asia, and the people of the United States are unhappy, but it doesn't mean that they can't tolerate it, but what Starin wants is to plant the red flag all over the world!

For Yang Feng, the rice people are the most important opponents, but that is more because the shadow in his heart is too heavy, at least from the current reality, the rice people are not his number one enemy, his number one enemy is still Stalin, from a political level, the two sides have no reason to be hostile to each other.

As for the economic aspect, the relationship between the two sides is more complicated.

For the rice country, they are more and more inseparable from the Ming Dynasty, because the rice farmers need the high-yield seeds of the Ming Dynasty, and they need all kinds of high-efficiency pesticides, you must know that they have tens of millions of farmers, and these farmers also need to export a large number of grain, meat, especially liquor, to the Ming Dynasty.

Even Yang Feng didn't expect this.

Because the Ming Imperial Bank does not provide loan support for non-high-tech industries, and the taxes on tobacco and alcohol production enterprises are very heavy, Yang Feng even imposed a high surcharge on liquor enterprises on the grounds of insufficient grain production in Daming, resulting in no wineries in China, and all of them went to surrounding countries.

And the lack of liquor raw materials in Southeast Asia, so this industry is cheap for the Chinese, Australia, Canada, especially the rice people, one-third of the liquor in the domestic market of the Ming Dynasty comes from the United States, from the distilleries of overseas Chinese in the United States, with the increasing wealth, there has begun to be a national waste of the Ming Dynasty, the amount of liquor consumed every year is amazing, this kind of things that cannot be seen in the United States at all before is becoming an important commodity exported by the United States.

Similarly, Daming also needs more and more markets in the United States.

In particular, Yang Feng's own income, even more than one-third of which comes from the United States, whether it is the direct export of the Ming Dynasty, or the agents of his vests, are going deep into all corners of the United States, from clothing and toys to airplanes and cars, and even the shipyard of Fengtian Heavy Industry has just received an order for as many as ten LNG ships.

All this makes the Ming Dynasty inseparable from the United States, just like the Xinhua and the United States in later generations, relying on each other, being vigilant against each other, competing with each other, cooperating with each other, and will not be friends but no one can bear the price of the breakdown of the relationship.

can only go on with hypocrisy. (To be continued.) )
