Chapter 378: It's You Who Blamed

Hellcat's first battle was perfect!

Inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese 1st Combined Air Force at a small cost. If it weren't for Qin Wei's strict orders before the war, if he had gained an advantage, he would not have pursued the Japanese fighters relentlessly, let alone attack the enemy airfields in Guangzhou and nearby cities without authorization, and the number of this air force would have disappeared from the Japanese army again.

And after the "Hellcat" finished the Zero, another formation of the Chinese Air Force also completed a jaw-dropping and at the same time shocking mission: they attacked the almost unprepared Japanese Navy's southbound task force. A formation of more than 200 fighters and bombers, carrying torpedoes, smashed and sank Japan's national treasures, the "Ise" and "Yamashiro," two battleships, and incidentally sank three special cruisers, the "Aikoku Maru," the "Hokokoku Maru," and the "Gokoku Maru." In addition, two aircraft carriers, "Akagi" and "Soryu," were damaged with bombs, and countless losses were made of other ships and personnel.

It can be said that if it were not for the fact that the Chinese Air Force did not have much experience in bombing warships and did not have a base from which they could carry out reciprocating bombing, then the Japanese task force, which was intended to be used to declare force to the countries of Southeast Asia, would probably not have been able to escape at all and annihilate the entire army off the coast of Guangdong.

But even so, the achievements of the Chinese Air Force still shocked the whole world.

Because they sank the warships of the third maritime power in the world, and two of the results were battleships - the most capable and most capable of being beaten! The fact that Vice Takeshi Toyoda, commander of the Japanese contingent fleet, chose to disembowelment in Guangzhou as soon as he learned the news, and it can already be proved that this result dealt a blow to the Japanese.

As a result, the Chinese Air Force has also attracted the attention of the whole world.

……

"It's not for sale!"

Cui Kefu, since he was slandered by Qin Wei once, he almost never appeared in front of Qin Wei's eyes again...... But now he can't help but not deal with Qin Wei. The Nationalist Government went up to Chiang Kai-shek and down to the guards of the Military Commission. It is known that only when Qin Wei goes out can he get the most good things in the hands of the Soviets. What's more, the "Hellcat" fighter was originally obtained by Qin Wei, and from the technique to the finished product, Qin Wei consumed a lot of spirit, and even did not hesitate to take out a lot of drug patents to the Americans...... Now that the Soviet Union has taken a fancy to this thing, it is impossible to bypass Qin Wei and negotiate with the Nationalist Government alone. Lao Jiang can't do this kind of thing.

But Qin Wei was still as stubborn and difficult to deal with as before, and as soon as they met, he directly gave Cui Kefu such an answer.

"At the beginning of Japan's invasion of China, the Soviet Union gave China a lot of aid. Together, this aid is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And now, we need your country's new fighter jets to help us regain lost ground......" Chuikov's face suddenly drooped, but he did not give up hope...... There is little contact. But he had already seen Qin Wei through. According to the Chinese, this product is a master who "does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles". Don't say any planes, as long as the price is enough and the timing is right, this cargo may be able to tie up Chiang Kai-shek and give it to the Japanese.

"Help you regain lost ground? Good. No problem at all. After listening to Cui Kefu's resentful words, Qin Wei's eyes rolled. With a wave of the hand. "Japan also bitterly resents Japan's aggression against the Soviets, and is willing to issue a solemn warning to Japan in the name of the government. And with the 'traditional friendship' between the Soviet Union and our China, we are also willing to help your country...... I will organize a volunteer air force to go to Outer Mongolia and establish contact with General Timoshenko in front of you...... Of course, the establishment of an airfield in Outer Mongolia with a size and the camps needed by the troops responsible for defending the airfield. And some of the weapons they need, they may need the help of the big brother of the Soviet Union. General Cui, you won't be stingy in this regard, will you? ”

“…… All we need is airplanes. Chuikov barely suppressed the anger that was surging up. It's really a shame that this guy can think of it, and he actually thought of setting up an air base in Outer Mongolia. Isn't that tantamount to a direct denial of the Soviet Union's position in Outer Mongolia? Although now the Soviet troops have withdrawn from Outer Mongolia. However, the Soviet Union still believed that Outer Mongolia was within the scope of the Soviet Union's power, and they were just waiting to get rid of the Japanese and immediately take them into their hands again. How is it possible to allow the Chinese to meddle? They also want to send troops, and they also want the USSR to send weapons and building materials...... Is this guy a wolf?

"Airplanes don't work." Qin Wei's head shook like a rattle, "That's what we got from the Americans, how can we leak it without the consent of the Americans?" ”

"You can't hide it from us." Chuikov snorted coldly, "France has surrendered, the Luftwaffe is ravaging Europe, Roosevelt ordered Henry. Harry. Air Force Major General Arnold presided over the construction of 50,000 aircraft to secure the skies of the Western Hemisphere. But as far as we know, none of the aircraft built under Arnold's auspices are the same as the Hellcat. In other words, the Hellcat is not the standard aircraft of the Americans, and it is not even in the scope of their installation...... This can only come from China. ”

"Don't say that." Qin Wei shook his head again, "Old Cui, listen, 'Hellcat', 'Hellcat'...... This is not what the Chinese call it. If it wasn't made by the Americans, who else could have done it? It can't be German, right? ”

"There may be Americans involved in this, but it is absolutely not wrong for your country to have considerable control over this fighter." Cui Kefu said sharply, "General Qin, if you still hope that the Soviet Union and China can be as close as they are now and jointly fight against the Japanese, you should show a little sincerity. ”

"Sincerity? How much is a pound? Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"You ......" Cui Kefu almost couldn't help but pounce on Qin Wei and give him a few "polar bear big pounces" to taste, "General Qin, you just want to get some benefits." We didn't intend to take your plane for nothing...... What conditions can you mention. ”

"You Soviets are really strange, just now you were willing to help you directly, as long as there is a base, you are not happy, and now let me mention it...... What else can I mention? Can you give us a thousand cannons? Qin Wei asked.

"General Qin, please be serious, okay?" A thousand cannons? I'll agree to it all on you! I expected that this conversation would be angry, but Chuikov still couldn't help but want to get angry.

"That's it, I won't take the initiative to mention it, or General Cui, how about you put forward the conditions yourself? I'd also like to see how far you want this new fighter. Qin Wei said with a smile.

"We can provide 100 heavy guns, as well as the corresponding base number of shells, in exchange for the design and manufacturing skills of this new fighter." Chuikov said in a deep voice.

"A little more." Qin Wei was obviously not satisfied, and stretched out his hand twice more.

"150 GUNS OF MORE THAN 100MM CALIBER, AND EACH GUN IS EQUIPPED WITH 3 BASE SHELLS." Chuikov gritted his teeth and slowly lifted the number upwards.

"As far as I know, from 1930 to 1931 the Soviet Union produced more than 1,900 artillery pieces of all kinds, in 1932 and 1934 it was almost 4,000, and in 1935 and 1937 you produced more than 5,000 cannons...... By last year, the total armament of various types of artillery in your Red Army had reached 56,000 pieces, including heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 210 mm...... Can you use up such a powerful amount of power? Qin Wei asked with a grin.

“…… I don't even know these data, how do you know about it, General Qin? "Spy! This guy is a super spy! If possible, Chuikov really wanted to slap the kid in front of him to death. It's so uncomfortable to feel like you're being uncovered in person.

"General Cui doesn't know what to do?" Qin Wei seemed to be stunned for a moment, "I thought you knew the truth." Actually, I'm guessing......"

"Guessing?" Guessing wildly, can you accurately produce a country's artillery within a hundred, or even dozens? Chuikov grinned reluctantly, but he didn't know how to vent his frustration.

"yes, it's nonsense." Qin Wei smacked his lips with a "tsk", "But I don't want large-caliber artillery this time." ”

"Don't want artillery?" Chuikov was stunned. It was because he knew the Chinese army's desire for heavy artillery, so he came up with the conditions just now...... 100 HEAVY ARTILLERY PIECES OF OVER 100MM CALIBER WERE ENOUGH TO MAKE CHIANG KAI-SHEK, INCLUDING THE CHINESE MILITARY HIGH-RANKING PEOPLE, JUMP FOR JOY, AND HE TOOK OUT 150 GUNS, COUPLED WITH 3 BASE SHELLS, ALREADY BECAUSE QIN WEI WAS NOT EASY TO DISMISS. But now this kid doesn't want it anymore?

"It's not that you don't want artillery, but you don't want large-caliber ones." Qin Wei sighed, "It's difficult to train artillery, especially large-caliber artillery, it's even more difficult!" …… YOU CAN GET US 500 76MM CANNONS AND 1,000 82MM MORTARS, EACH WITH FIFTY OR SIXTY BASE SHELLS. ”

"Aren't you afraid of breaking the barrel?" Chuikov was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Shells of fifty or sixty bases? He'd never heard that before. According to the standard of about 30 shells for a cannon as a base as stipulated by the Central Army of the Kuomintang, wouldn't this guy want to shoot 1,500 to 1,800 shells from one cannon? It would be better for the Soviet Union to ignore the threat of Germany to the west and send troops directly against Japan.

"Not much. You all have to produce tens of millions of shells a year, and just dial a few of them. Qin Wei turned a blind eye to Cui Kefu's expression, "You must know that our aircraft is just the right way to restrain the Japanese's 'Zero'...... The Germans are now fighting with Japan again, and they may be hooked up at any point. When the time comes, if the Zero is in the hands of the Germans...... Tsk, Moscow is also dangerous. ”

"You ......" (To be continued......
