Chapter 228: The tigers and wolves move together
PS: Bowing and thanking is the precious monthly ticket of the iron-blooded classmates! Bye, thanks, blah!!
In this negotiation, the German side is still Parisino, and the Japanese side is still Shiga Yugo. Their meeting was simple and straightforward.
Parisino had a successful negotiation, and this time he didn't forget to throw the bait first.
"My friend, we have a Flamingo fighter, an attack aircraft that can compensate for the clumsiness of aircraft carrier fighters, and can be used at airfields."
"Flamingos?"
Yugo Shiga leaned forward with interest and asked, "How did your country come up with an American-style name for the fighter?" ”
"This is the designer's designer, and we have no right to interfere." Paricino took a sip of coffee and bypassed the topic and said, "At present, this aircraft has been test-flown and our aircraft carrier is going to lag behind you, so our head of state has given priority to you to this standard carrier-based aircraft, and the head of state hopes to help you create an invincible hegemon at sea in order to deal with possible naval battles in the future." ”
"Maritime hegemon......
Shiga Yugo's eyes lit up. The navy, the current combat effectiveness is not very strong, at best it is comparable to Britain, compared to the United States is not strong, and among their imaginary enemies, the United States is the primary number one enemy, if the air supremacy at sea can be grasped in hand, then, bombers against those warships that have lost protection is not as easy as cutting the cake?
"So this Flamingo fighter has been finalized and produced?"
Seeing that it aroused the interest of Shiga Yugo, Paricino said with a smile: "The test has been done, this is the test data, my friend, you can take a look first, as for production, it will take more than two months for large quantities, and delivery within four months." ”
Cruising 200 knots...... Maximum speed 309 knots...... The ceiling is 10,000 meters!! The range is 3,000 km!!
The more Shiga Yugo looked, the more surprised he became. It's not that he doesn't know anything about fighter planes. On the contrary, they know very well. Take last year's Nakajima 95 fighter as an example, the fastest speed is 352 kilometers per hour, which is not faster than the cruising speed of this flamingo, and it is even worse than the maximum speed of 570 kilometers. The range was even worse, only 850. The ceiling is only 7,700 meters. And this is just regular data, the relevant core data is not on this piece of paper, obviously, this flamingo is better than the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries 96 type 440 that is about to enter service, and the range is 1,002.
"Palicino-kun, if this fighter is going to be sold, what is the approximate price?"
"No, old friend, our Führer is going to use this plane to strengthen our allies. But not for sale. ”
"Don't sell ......"
Yugo Shiga is a little confused, don't you sell it and show it off?
Seeing Shiga Yugo's expression, Paricino stirred the coffee and said softly, "But it can be exchanged for non-war materials to reduce the economic pressure on allies and the expenditure of military expenses." ”
"Non-war materiel?"
Shiga Yugo was stunned, this is a good thing, if it is not war materials, isn't even brass not in the exchange?
"Yes, you heard it right. My friend, our Führer only changed the steel pipe. And it's not a steel pipe for making artillery, it's just a thick-walled steel pipe for the pipeline, and you don't need to transport it remotely, you can produce it locally in Manchuria, and we will receive it there. ”
"Produce on site?"
Shiga Yugo vaguely guessed that this batch of steel pipes was not good and that it was for the enemy in Harbin. Can the flamingo's performance be too tempting. It's confusing, not to mention the best flying aircraft he knows so far. But I have never heard of any country's aircraft being superior to this one.
How did he know that this flamingo was just a name made up by Dong Ku based on the Allied forces in the middle and late stages of World War II calling the Zero fighter an air torch, but the manufacturer was their Japan, and it was only three or seven years before it began to be researched, and it was only put into service in three or nine years.
Shiga Yugo has not seen the prototype though. But he knew that the honesty of the Germans could not be doubted, and as far as Iron Fist was concerned, he had seen the domineering of this individual anti-tank weapon, and the extension of the subsequent development direction of the weapon was also infinite.
He thought about it for a while, and agreed to the terms of exchange without hesitation, but he wanted to know the quantity of the exchange and the method of delivery, the proportion of the exchange, and how many racks could be given. Besides, he still needs to ask for instructions, how many planes he needs.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Paricino steadily threw out another heavy bait.
"My friend, the exchange will definitely not make you suffer, the steel pipe is calculated according to the current line price, and the price of the flamingo is only three floors higher than your Nakajima 95 type, this is just the cost price, our head of state will not let you suffer, the specific amount of exchange will be carefully studied tomorrow, I won't talk about this today, let's go, let's have a drink and go to ......"
This negotiation can be said to be strange enough, but Lao Xi did it, he just wanted the Japanese to help him pay the bill, and he only needed to pay one-third of the original price to exchange for the production data and drawings of this aircraft. And to the Japanese, anyway, it will be sooner or later to finance the allies, and the stronger the allies, the more beneficial it will be for him to dominate Europe.
This negotiation is not known to the outside world, and of course it is not known to Dong Ku. Dong Ku just wants to replace the steel pipes needed for underground oil pipelines, and as for whether they are made in Japan or Germany, as long as they are qualified, it doesn't matter.
In the course of this negotiation, the shelling of Qiqihar became more and more intensive.
Seeing that the opposite position had not reacted after half an hour of shelling, Kawashimasuke ordered to change from exploratory fire reconnaissance to actual artillery bombardment, so as to pave the way for seizing the position.
At the moment when the shelling here became more intense, Dong Ku, who received the supplies, suddenly received a telegram again.
The telegram was sent by Xing Yuan, and just now, the Soviet artillery positions carried out a tentative bombardment, and more than a dozen shells fell in the positions, all of which were more than 100 calibers.
"Have they discussed it?"
Dong Ku pinched the telegram and pondered. He vaguely felt that this was some kind of agreement between Japan and Russia, otherwise, Soviet Russia would not rashly launch an artillery bombardment of Hulin. And now, according to the information obtained by their own reconnaissance, the Russian army is not enough to launch a major offensive, perhaps, this is just an attack posture made in cooperation with the Japanese army here.
After a little contemplation, Dong Ku ordered Xing Yuan to show the enemy weakness, not to fight back, and let them bombard, even if the beachhead position was completely destroyed, it didn't matter, because the Japanese fortress was the key defensive position, and it was not easy to be bombarded. However, it is necessary to strengthen vigilance along the Rao River to prevent Soviet and Russian multi-front assaults, and rescue cannot come.
After sending the telegram, Dong Ku looked at the train slowly looking at it in the distance, and he secretly said in his heart: This batch of materials is in place, I will first take your little Japan knife, let you be honest for three or two months, and wait for the spring plane to take off and then attack.
After pondering for a while, Dong Ku grabbed the phone and called Liu Yucheng.
After receiving the call, Liu Chengcheng added 30 105-caliber field guns to the army of horses and plows transporting Mogan's rifles, and pulled nearly half of the cannons used for Harbin's defense to Qiqihar.
Sure enough, Dong Ku's guess was right, after an interval of more than half an hour on the Soviet side, the artillery increased to twenty, and began to bombard continuously, but did not make an offensive posture. As for Raohe, the scouts saw a cavalry no less than a brigade level hiding in the jungle, obviously, it was preparing to use cavalry to break through the defense line in the direction of Raohe, at this time it should be looking for an offensive route, looking for a position that can make the war horse run, a position where the snow is thinner.
"Go ahead, the Makqin ...... with your modifications"
Dong Ku pursed his lips and turned his gaze to the next train that was slowly moving.
The battle on both sides was not fierce, and Dong Ku believed that there would be no problems along the Hulin Line or Qiqihar, at least in the short term.
The most important thing for him at this time is that this batch of lathes is in place, producing lathes that can make large items such as cannons and tanks, and striving for a month to build the equipment for tank production, at that time, he will not be afraid.
At the time of the artillery battle here, Yang Jingyu had already returned to Changbai Mountain, and then launched a guerrilla containment, so that the harassment began to appear frequently after disappearing for a month or two.
The reception of supplies was very fast, and when Huchen entered the advance military defense area in the tenth train, the first train in Harbin had already been unloaded and returned empty.
The train drivers were all Japanese, and they were not allowed to stay at the station, so they were driven out of Harbin after unloading the trains, escorted by soldiers, back to the checkpoint, and then out of the defense area.
The unloaded equipment was quickly diverted, and under the transport of the troops, horses, and plows, which had long been prepared, left the station and disappeared without a trace.
In the location of the arsenal, in a wooden cage room, the lathes that arrived one by one were propped up, and tomorrow, they could be up and running, and they could start producing the parts they needed to assemble the large lathes.
Liu Zhong gathered his troops outside the station, waiting to enter the barracks. The apprentices have already moved into their camps and will be on duty tomorrow.
The Jews, like treasures, were sent to the central barracks in batches, and to-morrow they were to be sent to the quarters that had been carved out for them. The workers were placed in the camp with the apprentices.
The people near the station looked at the large number of foreigners, but they didn't know that there were more scientific researchers than national treasures in them.
When the last train was inspected, Dong Ku closed the button to enter the defense area, Dong Ku read the number of statistics, and then set off to return to Harbin, and after putting on makeup, he met Christian with drawings and data.
"Mr. Christian, it will take you twenty days to return home from here, but there is no way for your company to return from here, our company can only trade here, so ......" After a pause, Dong Ku changed his tone and said: "I will trade with you in Munich after the last batch of materials arrives, saving you the trouble of carrying the drawings back and forth." ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Sato, to be honest, it's a long way to return home, and I still have to carry such an important thing, it's very stressful!" Christian said worriedly, "The next batch of materials will arrive in ten days, and the third batch will arrive in January. ”
"Good! Happy cooperation! ”
Dong Ku put down the drawings and said with a smile.
Another voice came out of his mind: Ten days is enough for little Japan to remember for a long time! (To be continued......)
