Patton stayed in the courtyard of Tu Sancang, and Eisenhower said that he was going to find the American consul in the three eastern provinces, Jensen. Tu Qianjun comprehended and sent him over with a smile.

After returning to the office, Tu Qianjun read the documents for a while and then rested.

Early the next morning, Eisenhower came to Tu Qianjun with a secret telegram. Looking at the secret telegram Tu Qianjun smiled slightly, the efficiency of the United States in the future generations was really dragging on.

But he has done a good job in this life, and the United States has already reflected it this night. The United Kingdom, France, etc. were also brought in for discussion. Immediately, it was decided to give certain support subsidies to the three eastern provinces to support the three eastern provinces in secretly providing a batch of arms to the Soviet Union.

Of course, the telegram also made it clear. They can't give too much money to the three eastern provinces, and the Soviets still have to pay a little. And most importantly, the fact that they secretly helped the three eastern provinces to aid the Soviet Union must not be exposed.

After consultations between the United States, Great Britain and France, they have reached a consensus. For every tank given to the Soviet Union, the three eastern provinces were subsidized with $3,000. One thousand dollars were given for each plane, and seven hundred dollars for each artillery. A subsidy of $500 per ton for shells, bullets, etc. It can be seen that and it is already a hemorrhage in the three kingdoms.

The United States and Britain have just seen a glimmer of light in the past crisis. France's Maginot Line was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the economy was weak, which was already the final result of their bargaining.

Of course, none of these will pay the currency directly. Instead, the settlement is based on the materials of the industries of each country in the three eastern provinces.

This was also a way for Roosevelt to get parliamentary support, and it was also a compromise for the British side to get parliamentary support. And Tu Qianjun was also very satisfied with this, so the losses of the three eastern provinces would not be large.

"Ike, you can reply to President Roosevelt and say I know what to do." Tu Qianjun handed the message back to Eisenhower, and Eisenhower took it back and put it in his pocket.

Since this kind of agreement is secret, it naturally leaves no foundation. After getting the telegram back, Eisenhower handed over some bills of lading to Tu Qianjun and said with a smile.

"These are the supplies that we have given after we have coordinated, and the commander-in-chief can have people pick up the goods." Saying that, Eisenhower smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect George to be so obsessed with martial arts, and even worship your father as his master......"

"Isn't that great?!" saw Tu Qianjun smile and said, "I admire George." A soldier like him will shine on the battlefield! ”

Eisenhower nodded, then sighed and said, "I never doubt this, as his classmate I know him." With his talents, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely bloom his own brilliance. But he also has a flawed personality, irritable, irritable and does not like to compromise, and he has no understanding of politics and diplomacy. It's easy for him to make enemies......"

Tu Qianjun can be regarded as hearing this, and Eisenhower gave Tu Qianjun advice from the standpoint of a friend. Eisenhower knew Patton well, and he knew that Patton's personality would cause him trouble.

History about Patton's death. It's full of suspicions. Because of hunting, he caused a bizarre car accident, and 12 days later, he died of serious injuries.

Of the three people involved in the crash at the same time, only Patton was seriously injured, while the other two were unscathed; The driver escaped after the accident, and no one knew where he went.

In addition, the investigation of the car accident by the US authorities was very sloppy, leaving no official materials for the on-site investigation. There is only one proof of the driver of the Barton car, which still has obvious traces of alteration; Later, Barton, who had turned the corner from danger, died suddenly. All sorts of phenomena made Barton's death a fog......

In June 1945, Patton returned home for the last time. Although he was welcomed as a hero by the American people, he told his family that it was the last time they would see him.

"I'm exhausted. I don't know how it's going to happen, but I'm going to die over there. When Patton said this, the war in Europe was over.

The cause of Patton's death remains a mystery to this day. Batchelor's view is most representative: "While it is not certain that he was assassinated, it is no longer certain that he was not assassinated." ”

If it weren't for the fact that Eisenhower and Tu Qianjun had been friends for several years, he would not have said this. And it is because they have intersected for several years. And Eisenhower was promoted to brigadier general because of his experience in armored combat in the three eastern provinces.

It was Eisenhower who always believed that he owed a favor to the Tu family father and son, and in this case he did not want the Tu family father and son to get too close to Patton. lest Patton offend people, and they will be implicated.

"Ike, I know what you said." saw Tu Qianjun sigh and whispered to Eisenhower: "But." George is indeed a great soldier, and I don't want him to slip through in areas that he is not familiar with. Perhaps, his uncompromising character will be somewhat restrained. ”

Saying that, Tu Qianjun smiled at Eisenhower and said, "This, in the future, may be of some help to you." ”

on this. Eisenhower did not object. A comrade in the army, he and Patton had a very close relationship. Naturally, I didn't want anything to happen to Barton. It would be nice if Barton's personality could be changed.

When the business was over, the two talked and laughed for a while, and then Eisenhower took his leave. Tu Qianjun immediately asked Yang Yuting, who was in charge of the negotiation, and Yan Zhengqing, the governor, to come to the office, and handed him the bills of lading with a smile.

"These are the things that the Americans gave us to help the Soviet Union. Plus what my dad said earlier about increasing the number of various weapons in exchange for a certain amount of money. I guess we won't lose much......"

Tu Qianjun paused, and then said with a smile: "It just so happens that we are about to change our clothes, and we are still worried about what to do with these weapons!" Since the Soviets want it, then give it all to them! Haha......"

After Yan Zhengqing and Yang Yuting read the bill of lading brought by Eisenhower, they also laughed! After a long while, Yang Yuting said to Tu Qianjun.

"Junzi, I don't understand a little. What do you say this 75mm mountain cannon Lao Maozi is going to do?! This cannon isn't very good! Aside from portability, attack power and range are average......"

Facing Yang Yuting's question, Tu Qianjun smiled faintly and said softly: "Uncle Ge, they don't want this cannon to hit people. It's not for bunkers. I guess they used it to fight tanks. ”

Yang Yuting couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he naturally didn't know that the Soviet army was already equipped with a large number of 76.2 mm artillery. Soviet artillery has maintained a large number of pre-Russian 76.2mm Type 00/02P field cannons.

In 1933, the Soviet Red Army received a new 76.2 mm caliber cannon, the 1933 model, but this howitzer was only a transitional product, and its development was to fill the 1936 howitzer that could not be put into service for the time being.

And the answer to this can be found in its gun mount. In order to speed up the development of the gun, the artillery mount of the gun was directly derived from the 1910/30 122 mm field howitzer, which was still in service in 1941.

However, this artillery is also very strong, according to the information, the muzzle velocity of the gun reached 706 m / s, and the firing range of ordinary howitzers could reach 13,600 meters, which was the longest range of howitzers of the same caliber in the hands of the Soviet Red Army at that time.

The 1927 76.2 mm howitzer, which was also equipped with the artillery division of the Soviet Red Army, was developed on the basis of the 1902 howitzer, so compared with the 1936 model, there was a large gap in performance.

But that's history. It was not yet time for the artillery to be developed, and Stalin had already fought Trotsky to the death. But this kind of actual combat made the Soviet army discover one thing: ordinary anti-tank guns against the Tiger I are completely tickling.

But if you use this mountain cannon, you can penetrate the armor of the Tiger I from the side! This discovery made Stalin's troops ecstatic, and this is why Blyukhel came to Mukden and asked for 600 75mm mountain guns in one go!

It was too late to refit, but the previous war between the Soviet Union and the Northeast Army on the Middle East Road made them understand that Mukden also had 75mm caliber artillery, so they naturally asked for it.

"Our cannon, on the one hand, can be disassembled and transported, which is extremely convenient. Secondly, the firepower is not bad, although it is impossible to hit a pillbox and cover shooting, but if you want to fight a tank, you can still use it. ”

Tu Qianjun smiled at Yang Yuting and said, "This is the benefit of actual combat. The pros and cons of weapons and the way they are used can be tested at once. However, this also shows that our Tiger I still has flaws......"

"What weapon is flawless?! Any weapon, it will be flawed. "Yang Yuting is very open-minded. Facing Tu Qianjun, he smiled and said, "But I didn't expect that these old hairy people still had the heart to hide it from us, and they didn't say it clearly!" ”

"Hahaha...... Of course, they won't say it, we sold so many of their arms and made so much money. With Lao Maozi's character, they also want to yin, let's give it a hand! But seeing Tu Qianjun, he smiled and said to Yang Yuting: "But! Using mountain artillery to fight tanks is a good way of fighting. It's a pity that this was only effective against German tanks......"

Saying that, Tu Qianjun paused and said to Yang Yuting: "Actually, it is still a little difficult for us to penetrate the tiger style, but those Germans are not difficult!" ”

Yang Yuting couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard this, aren't our tanks the same as the German ones?! How can it be easy to penetrate the Germans, but it is a bit difficult to penetrate ours?!

The reason why Stalin was able to use these old guns to penetrate the armor of the Tiger I was also inseparable from the Germans. As soon as the Tiger I tank was taken back, the Germans thought that the armor was too thick! Some don't need it.

So I started to retrofit. The Germans can't really be blamed for this. In this era, there was no concept of heavy armor at all, and even when it came to the fourth tank, the armor in Germany was only 80 mm in the front of the hull and 30 mm in the sides of the hull.

In the eyes of the Germans, this design of the Tiger was good. But armor is a complete waste! So after some reduction, the frontal armor became 80mm, and the side armor gave Tu Qianjun some face, which was reduced to 50mm.

In this way, the weight and cost are reduced all at once! This made the Germans quite proud. He also hid it from the Wehrmacht and didn't tell it. In fact, Tu Qianjun already knew, and Stalin's penetration of those tanks and Wehrmacht's mechanics in the Soviet Army would naturally see it.

After some research on the seizures, the conclusions are out! The Germans changed the parameters of the thickness of the armor without authorization, and as a result, they fell headlong on the old Soviet artillery! This conclusion makes people laugh and cry.

Fortunately, the Germans did not change the 75mm gun, otherwise they might not have moved the tanks sold by the Wehrmacht to the Soviet Union. Trotsky, who had a huge advantage in numbers. With the power of artillery, Stalin was still driven out of Moscow.

And Stalin also held out for a long time with the Wehrmacht's Tiger tanks, and at the same time discovered the lethality of the 76mm gun against Trotsky's tanks!

Therefore, there is a request from Blyukhel not to use large-caliber artillery but to 75mm caliber artillery this time.

Knowing the reason, Yang Yuting couldn't help laughing! The Soviet Union and Germany really want to pit each other! It has something to do with our three eastern provinces, but it's really not big! They were playing by themselves, and they thought the Wehrmacht didn't know!

After everyone talked and laughed for a while, Yang Yuting's secretary came over and said that Blyukhel had brought someone over. Waiting in the conference room, Yang Yuting gave Yan Zhengqing the bill of lading, and left Tu Qianjun's office with the secretary with a smile.

The secretary was a little inexplicable, Yang Yuting's face had always been unsightly. How did this person change as soon as he came out of the commander-in-chief's office?!

Not only the secretary, but also Blyukhel. Yesterday I looked at the list with a sad face, but today I greeted him with a smile. This made Blyukhel's hairs stand on end!

It's not a day or two to deal with the three eastern provinces, as long as these guys laugh at the beginning, it's not easy to do! But then it was even more surprising to Blyukhel, Yang Yuting not only did not cut the equipment they proposed, but also said enthusiastically: These equipment is not enough! How can you fight Trotsky if you don't buy more?!

Our 150mm heavy mortars in the three eastern provinces are good! It's easy to transport and the firepower is not bad! The Liao 16-year-old 150-mm mortar in the three eastern provinces can now hit 4,000 meters after improvement! That's pretty good!

After saying this, Blyukhel was also moved! It's not that he doesn't want to change his clothes, but the things they want after carefully calculating basically touch the bottom line of the three eastern provinces.

If you want more, you will definitely have to be bargained by the three eastern provinces! Speaking of bargaining, Blyukhel admits that he is no match for these scheming old foxes of the three eastern provinces. So I set a strategy before I came out, and there are a lot of these things! No matter how much you bargain, you will bite so much.

Sure enough, after saying a word, Yang Yuting's fox tail was revealed! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
