Chapter 111 The South Asian Subcontinent

"Your Excellency, there is bad news."

In his study, Lord Mountbatten said straight to the point.

"Oh? I've never been afraid of bad news. ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"The Soviets have completed the repair of the aircraft carrier Zeppelin, and renamed the Moskva, and are now on sea trials, and it is said that they are already testing the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft, and the aircraft is temporarily modified with the latest land-based La-9, and according to the information we have obtained, the two new heavy aircraft carriers enlarged on the Zeppelin have also begun to lay keels at the Baltic Shipyard, with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, and the name should follow the Soviet class that has been canceled."

Mountbatten said with a solemn face.

This is indeed bad news, very bad news for both Britons and Americans.

But for Yang Feng, it is good news.

"This is indeed bad news, Stalin's ambition has been undisguised, and it is simply mad to build three aircraft carriers at once! What does he want to do? ”

Yang Feng said with a look of righteous indignation.

"So when will my aircraft carrier be completed?"

Then he asked.

"The shipyard is being built at full speed, and it is estimated that it will be able to join your fleet by the middle of next year, and if you need a new fighter, Hawker can provide you with a batch of Sea Fury, which is definitely better than the Corsair, enough to deal with the carrier-based aircraft of the Soviets."

Mountbatten said that the construction schedule was almost in time for wartime, and it was clear that the British government could not wait for Yang Feng to help them send the Moskva to the bottom of the sea.

"Don't you have jet carriers?"

Yang Feng said suspiciously.

"No, at present, only land-based vampires have been used for aircraft carrier take-off and landing tests, the Navy wants to develop a carrier-based aircraft based on this fighter, but it is difficult to complete in a short time, jet fighters to really be used on aircraft carriers, must be used with the help of catapults, now only the latest hydraulic catapult developed by the United States, that is, the kind equipped on the Kunlun aircraft carrier according to your requirements."

Mountbatten said.

The Kunlun is the Centaur class ordered by Yang Feng in Britain, because he must have the ability to take off and land jet fighters, so the other Centaur classes are equipped with the latest hydraulic catapults developed by the United States.

Because of budget problems, the British's own Centaur class construction is in a semi-stagnant state, but what Yang Feng wants is building at full speed day and night.

"Then sell me another batch of land-based jet fighters, vampires, thirty-six."

Yang Feng had long been thinking about getting a jet fighter, and he just took this opportunity to get it, although the vampire was not a good plane, but it was enough to train pilots and let his subordinates adapt to jet fighters.

"No problem."

Mountbatten hurriedly said that such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning, and de Havilland will be very happy to accept such an order.

"Also, I heard that the Labour government is preparing to sell Nien engines to the Soviet Union?"

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng asked with a serious face.

"Congress is debating it, and no decision has been made yet, but we will do our best to stop it."

Mountbatten said with some embarrassment.

"I have to say that the voters of your country are really a little baffled, not to lead them to victory heroes, but to put a schemist in the position of prime minister, why? Just so that he can give workers higher benefits? Then why didn't they just choose the Soviets, target the capitalists, and then have a redistribution of social wealth? They get more that way. ”

Yang Feng said indignantly.

Lord Mountbatten did not speak, and in fact he did not like Attlee, but as the Governor of Britain in Tianzhu, he could not speak of the Prime Minister of his own country to a foreign head of state.

Of course, whether the Nien engine is sold or not, this is not something that Yang Feng is very concerned about, the technical content of the jet engine at this time is not very high, even if there is no Nien, the Soviets, who have almost a full set of Prussian jet engine technology, can still develop their own jet engine.

Besides, the centrifugal type is a dead end, and the axial flow type is the king, work hard and show the determination not to be afraid of the dead, maybe Comrade Stalin can get the MiG-19 out in advance.

Come on, Joseph!

After silently blessing Comrade Stalin, Yang Feng immediately put aside the topic, he didn't come to Mountbatten for this kind of nonsense.

"Sir, are you interested in making a good business? Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the official business, but the private business, a very good business that can bring us a steady stream of wealth in the future! ”

He said mysteriously.

"No one will refuse wealth."

Mountbatten said with a smile.

"I know of an oil field, a big oil field, and this oil field is in Assam, and although there are a few small oil wells there, it's just a few holes in the dam of this Fortune Reservoir, but I know where the floodgates are."

Yang Feng said.

Mountbatten's eyelids jumped.

"Sir, we are friends, good friends of course have to share with each other, such as you, such as Count Clement, but not everyone is entitled to be invited to our feast, and I do not think that those untouchables who are about to be ordained by His Majesty's boon are also entitled to sit at our common table."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Excellency, it is impossible for us to bypass them, after all, they are the masters of this country after the establishment of Du."

Mountbatten reminded him that this kind of thing could not be left behind the future Tianzhu government, and that it was no longer the colonial era, and that any British capitalist could do whatever he wanted in the colonies.

"So, we're going to have to do it the other way, would you rather deal with a government with a population of hundreds of millions in this situation, or would you rather deal with a government with a population of only a few million? You know, the former are always entitled to more things, and they have more mouths to feed, and maybe one day they will feel that this oil field should be all theirs. ”

Yang Feng said.

"But a country with a population of a few million cannot withstand the invasion of a country with a population of several hundred million."

Mountbatten reminded him once again that even if Assam was separated now, it would not stop Tianzhu from retaking it under the temptation of the oil fields, and this situation was bound to happen.

"But there is always justice and justice in this world, and when one country bullies the weak and invades another country, is there no righteous country that stands up to help the weak?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, Your Excellency, it's time for us to talk about the shareholding ratio and the estimated reserves of this field."

Mountbatten said with satisfaction.
