Chapter 978 978 I ate last night, so I must keep my mouth shut tonight
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Youde met with the ambassador of the Xinming government.
Lin Youde was originally quite looking forward to it, thinking that maybe he could meet some famous person in another time and space, but it turned out to be a guy he didn't know - of course, he might also be in an important position in another time and space, but Lin Youde didn't recognize his face.
The ambassador's surname is Song, and his name Lin Youde didn't deliberately remember, anyway, as long as he knows that he is called "Ambassador Song".
After the greetings, Ambassador Song took the lead in getting to the point: "Mr. Lin, although the US troops have begun to retreat from the occupied territory of our country, they have left their weapons and equipment and ammunition to the Ming Imperial Army. β
"On this issue," Lin Youde smiled at Ambassador Song, "now that the Russian government forces have regained control of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Germany can use the GuΓ² Trans-Siberian Railway to send weapons and equipment to the Xinming army in the northeast." Germany has a large number of troops here, and there is a lot of surplus weapons and equipment, tanks and planes, and as long as the new Ming government pays the freight, it can all be transported to you. In addition, I can send a military advisory group to teach the new Ming army to use these equipment. β
"Great," Ambassador Song was overjoyed, and said a few too good, but then he changed his words, "I want to ask, Mr. Lin, do these equipment you are talking about include the VF-1?" β
"I'd also love to hand over the most advanced jet fighter to Xinming," Lin paused, "I'm Chinese, and I'll never forget that." But now the VF-1 is basically in short supply, and all the member countries of the Human Innovation Alliance are waiting for the VF-1 to arm their air forces, and although we plan to grant production authorization to France and Italy, there are still countries like Poland and Turkey that have no way to produce their own. In fact, Italy cannot produce all the parts on its own, and needs to import the core parts from Germany. β
"That's right," Ambassador Song sighed, "but the United States seems to be planning to arm the Ming Imperial Army with a saber style, and if this continues, we will suffer losses in air battles." β
"In previous battles, the US military once knocked out the VF-1 with propeller aircraft, and more than once. In addition, jets now have the weakness of short empty time, so they are actually not so pessimistic. The performance of weapons and equipment is important, but the key depends on the people who use it. β
Lin Youde actually wanted to tell Ambassador SΓΉ Song that there was a Persian Gulf country in another time and space that received the world's most advanced weapons and equipment from the U.S. military, but it was still a scumbag, and he was beaten all over the ground by the militia-like armed forces driving Toyota pickup trucks. Those advanced weapons and equipment did not play any role at all.
However, judging by Ambassador Song's current expression, he seems to regard Lin Youde's assertion that "people are more important than weapons" as an excuse for Lin Youde to not be able to provide VF.
It is understandable that he will think like this, Lin Youde thought a little helplessly, if he changed his position, Lin Youde himself would probably think the same way.
Therefore, Lin Youde can only change his strategy: "Although we can't provide VF to Xinming immediately, we can accept a group of international students from Xinming Republic and let them learn the most advanced aerodynamic knowledge and master the core technology here." After the end of the war, I will also try my best to help Xinming establish his own modern fighter research and development and production system. β
"Very good, very good, but none of these can solve the problems that are close at hand, and in the case of losing air superiority, many outstanding sons and daughters of China are bound to die in the bombardment of the corrupt imperial government."
At this moment, the side door of the room where Lin Youde and Ambassador Song were talking suddenly opened, and the fox strode in: "In that case, wouldn't it be better to plot against the air force of the Ming Empire?" The government of the Ming Empire has long lost the support of the people, and the pilots of the air force are generally hot-blooded young people, they are a group that is easy to be rebelled against, and letting these pilots surrender with swords will not only weaken the air force of the Ming Empire and strengthen your own air force, but also make the United States have concerns and be timid when continuing to provide saber to the Ming Empire. β
"Mr. Lin, what's going on?" Ambassador Song glanced at the fox and questioned Lin Youde.
Lin Youde smiled: "Ms. Chihiro is my loyal companion, and she can be completely trusted. I asked her to sit in on the next room to listen to our conversation and take notes. I hope you don't mind. β
"Ah, of course, of course." Ambassador Song nodded, then returned to the topic, "Your advice makes a lot of sense, Ms. Chihiro. Of course, we will fight back, and in fact the work is already being done. It's just that, while plotting against us, we also hope to get VF, so we can do both to just in case. β
"I can assure you, Ambassador Song, I will definitely hand over the VF to Xinming, but it is indeed difficult to deliver it immediately. When I go back and verify the current equipment of the German VF-1, maybe I can find some initial production VF, replace them in the name of replacing the new aircraft, and then transfer them to Xinming, so much I can promise at present. β
"Understood." Ambassador Song nodded, from his expression Lin Youde couldn't judge what he thought of this reply, worthy of being a person sent as a diplomat, the city government was quite okay.
"In addition to the VF-1, we also have some equipment that is more urgently needed," Ambassador Song continued, "We are very short of heavy artillery now, and we also lack small-caliber machine guns to deal with Zhanji, I wonder if Mr. Lin can think of a way." β
"As for the small-caliber machine guns, the infantry fighting vehicles I have delivered to you are equipped with them, and if you need them, I can also provide you with the stockpile of small-caliber machine guns, as long as you weld an iron frame, these machine guns can be used alone. In terms of heavy artillery, we have a considerable number of 152 howitzers decommissioned and mothballed, which can be transferred to you along with other weapons. β
"Is there a 210 heavy gun?"
"Yes, there is, but this kind of cannon proved to be not suitable for the current form of war in battle. The German generals, including me, were more inclined to the 152 gun ......"
"But the country still wants to get some 203 heavy guns." Ambassador Song smiled at Lin Youde, "Maybe our generals have different ideas, it just so happens that the German generals think that 203 is useless, so it is better to ......."
Lin Youde nodded.
"Well, but there were no plans to dismantle the already small 203 Heavy Artillery Battalion, and it may take some time for these guns to be shipped from Germany."
"No problem." Ambassador Song nodded, and then he said, "Then there are no other requirements from our side, oh yes, Mr. Wu wants me to convey his meaning to Mr. Lin, and he is looking forward to Mr. Lin returning to China to have a look." βR1148
