Seeing this Major General Li Mei, as well as Wilson, who had been promoted to the rank of brigadier general at this time, Yang Zhen, who was already very tired, frowned. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info knew that these two would definitely not have anything good to do when they came to the door at this time. Although he was very reluctant, he could only patiently let the two of them into his office.

After entering his office, the Major General Li Mei adhered to the habit of the Americans to get straight to the point and said: "Yang, I think we are friendly forces now, and we have proposed several plans to jointly carry out air strikes, and I don't know why you have been shirking it." I don't think there should be such a gap between us. ”

"I proposed a plan to carry out air strikes, but I wanted to carry out some of the most intense bombardments on the Japanese mainland. In the European theater, we and the British army often used this method to carry out bombing against Germany. Drop as many bombs as possible in the shortest possible time by making the largest possible fleet in order to completely destroy the ongoing war potential of the enemy army. ”

"But when we asked to join forces with you and adopt this tactic, you kept us perfunctory. Your deputy commander, who is responsible for coordinating the actions of your two armies, has never made any statement. Yang, is that how you treat your allies all the time? ”

"Also, through careful observation, I found that the battle damage rate of your air raids against Japan is very low. Even in the last few sorties, there has been no battle damage. I admit that you have accumulated a wealth of experience in taking on most of the air operations against Japan alone for two years, but this is not enough to explain the low level of your war losses. ”

"Yang, as an ally who fought together. On the one hand, in the course of air raids against Japan, huge prices have been paid continuously. On the one hand, because of some of its own unique methods, or should I say unique methods, it maintains a fairly low battle loss. As allies, shouldn't there be an exchange between us? ”

"According to the information we have, in the defense system of the Japanese homeland, the number and quality of anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft fighters deployed in the direction of your air attack are no less than that of our combat direction. We are here today to ask you to share your unique experiences with us. ”

"As for the mutual interference between your and our armies during the air raids, I also hope that you will give the United States of America a reasonable explanation. Why is it that when the U.S. military bombs certain targets on the Japanese mainland, it encounters unreasonable interference from your planes? Even your radio system interferes with our communication system. Yang, don't you think that's abnormal? ”

Listening to the complaint of this Major General Li Mei, Yang Zhen's brows furrowed even deeper. Yang Zhen, who understood that these two were under the banner of the so-called joint air raid and came to touch his own bottom, was silent for a long time before saying: "There is no problem with the matter of carrying out a joint air raid on Japan. In this way, you come up with an air raid plan, and we will definitely cooperate fully. ”

"But there's one thing, we're in a different situation than yours. We do not have the ability to replenish bombers ourselves, knock out one less one. And some time ago, the main forces of our aviation were already tired of fighting in the south. You can't ask us to send too many bombers at once. ”

"I think how about the number of bombers dispatched by your two armies reach one to one? We will dispatch as many planes as you should. At the same time, according to the performance of the bombers, the sortie bombers were divided into two batches. One of you, one of us, carry out cluster bombing of targets. ”

In this way, it also avoids the problem of coordination in bombing operations due to the different performance of aircraft. However, if I had chosen a target, I would like it to be Tokyo or Osaka. Because these two cities are important military production bases in Japan, especially Osaka, which is currently the most concentrated place of the entire army arsenal of the Japanese army. ”

"As for the interference between your and our armies during the air raids, is this problem easy to solve? I think that you and I will each send a few air units to get operational staff officers and form a joint staff department to be responsible for the entire planning and arrangement of air strikes against Japan, so that there will be no mutual interference. ”

"To be honest, as a soldier, I appreciate the efficiency and high level of staff of your U.S. Army Air Corps. With the establishment of the Joint Staff, we also have the opportunity to learn from your experience. At the same time, it can also prevent similar problems from happening again between our two armies. ”

"And our losses in the air raid on Japan are much lighter than yours, because we have an escort fighter with excellent performance. Our own Soviet-style Yak-9 long-range fighter has quite good performance and much better firepower than your Mustang fighter. ”

"At the same time, we adopted more suitable escort tactics, so that our bomber losses were very small. It's just that due to the lack of production, we hope that you will be able to provide Mustang fighters. It's a pity that you Americans have disappointed us very much, and the P40 fighters that have been provided to us so far are still old-fashioned, and the range cannot reach the Japanese mainland at all, and the performance cannot compete with the new fighters of the Japanese army. ”

"This is a fighter that has been continuously improved, but its performance has not been greatly improved. As a result, we were powerless to compete with the new aircraft with increasing performance in the face of the Japanese, and we could only introduce to the Soviets the three-handed fighters of the Germans that they had captured. Is that how you treat your allies? General Li Mei, isn't it a little too inauthentic for you to do this? ”

"We have always pinned down the Japanese army, a heavy group with the largest number of troops and the most well-equipped on all fronts. This has greatly reduced the pressure on you in the Pacific theater and when you are fighting on the ground. When you come to our aid, you always only give us second-rate weapons and equipment. ”

"Major General Li Mei, think about it, if the Kwantung Army is well-equipped and well-trained, both in terms of equipment and officer quality, it will far surpass the dozen or so veteran divisions of the Japanese army that have expanded their divisions and regiments, and appear in the Pacific theater. How much more blood will you Americans shed in the Pacific? ”

"We are using our lives to relieve your stress. But you are so careful about the whole aid, the number of tanks is never enough to meet the needs, and you have formulated so many terms and regulations to limit this and that. The number of artillery promised, I haven't seen a shadow until now. Is this what an ally should do? ”

When it comes to the fact that the United States has always only provided old-fashioned fighter jets, Yang Zhen is angry. In front of the US Army Major General in front of him, Yang Zhen, who was full of anger, had no taboos, and he could say whatever he wanted. And these two guys repeatedly put forward the idea of asking for a joint air raid with the Anti-Japanese Federation, and Yang Zhen didn't need to ask to know what these guys had in their stomachs.

Explain by yourself the performance of the escort fighters of the Anti-United Nations, surpassing the P51 Mustang fighters of the US military, these two guys will definitely not believe it. They wanted to hold a joint air raid with the Anti-United Nations in order to find out what secret equipment the Anti-United Nations Air Force had that could make the bombers' combat losses so low.

For these two guys who pouted their butts and knew what kind of shit they were going to pull, Yang Zhen, who came to find himself this time and saw it very clearly, was still very wary of Li Mei's purpose of wanting to take a joint bombing operation. Early warning aircraft and electronic jamming planes are the secret weapons of the anti-Japanese alliance, and they absolutely must not be leaked to the Americans.

In particular, the Americans have always been jamming the Japanese radar's technology, and the confrontation alliance has also always kept it strictly secret, so it is even more impossible for Yang Zhen to share the most secret things in his hands with these Americans, who have always kept a few hands. Otherwise, with the Americans' strong scientific and technological research and development capabilities and the powerful aviation industry, once the Americans master these things, it is very likely that they will be countered against themselves at that time.

Since the Americans have now begun to study AWACS, it is better to let them continue to go step by step, anyway, they are not in a hurry. At present, the US military is actually not high in battle damage, and in terms of strong replenishment capabilities, they can still afford it.

Yang Zhen mentioned that the United States always refused to provide aid to the new fighter planes when it came to aid the anti-United Nations fighters, which somewhat embarrassed Major General Li Mei. But this is a plan formulated by the US government and the top brass of the Army, and it is not something that a small major general can decide.

As far as he knows, the earliest Anti-United Nations fighters were on the P-51 fighter distribution list, but for some reason, the top brass of the army resolutely opposed the aid to such a high-performance fighter of the Anti-United Nations. Not only this new Mustang fighter, but even the P-38 fighter, the army top brass also resolutely opposed.

The attitude of the army is that bombers can be given, after all, the bombing of Japan by the Anti-Japanese Union can weaken the war potential of the Japanese. But the new fighters must not be supplied to the red Chinese army. The U.S. Army believes that the P-40 fighter is enough to deal with the situation on the battlefield in China.

Supplying new fighters to the red Chinese army could easily have allowed these technologies to fall into the hands of the Soviets. The top level of the US Army has always maintained that in addition to the bombers needed for air strikes against Japan, the military assistance provided by the United States to the United Nations should be secondary to that of the Nationalist Government.

That is, the weapons and equipment provided cannot exceed the standards given to the national government. It was only the development of the war situation that allowed the US Army to slightly relax certain restrictions on ground weapons and equipment assistance. However, when it comes to the assistance of combat aircraft, the US Army is not willing to say anything. Insist on giving only P-40 fighters and A-20 attack planes, and absolutely not give new fighters and attack planes.

It's those SBD dive bombers, or the Navy disregards the Army's blocking assistance. The conservative army brass, even the B-25 bombers, were reluctant to come to the aid of this Red Chinese army. In the end, it was the White House that coordinated and delivered one hundred and twenty aircraft.

The British have been encouraged to transfer their old-fashioned Blenheim bombers, which are far inferior in bomb load and range to the B-25, to the Resistance League. After the U.S. Navy intervened to provide assistance to a group of anti-Japanese coalition fighters, and after they replaced the SBD dive bombers, the Army immediately cut off the assistance of the follow-up B25 bombers on the grounds that the SBD bombers were more suitable for the Chinese battlefield that lacked airfields.

Coupled with the continuous pressure from Chongqing, the White House finally crossed the list of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Although the top brass of the army agreed that the air force stationed in North Manchuria could assist in the anti-coalition operation when necessary. But it was also required that the aviation units stationed in North Manchuria not let the Red Chinese come into contact with the B-29 bombers.

All the B-25 bombers that crashed in the area under the jurisdiction of the Anti-United Nations must be blown up along with the wreckage. For this reason, the US Army not only equipped the bomber group stationed in North Manchuria with supernumerary transport planes, as well as five light liaison planes, and a large number of radars. The US military's top brass was no less vigilant than it was against the Soviets.

This Major General Li Mei is just a simple soldier, and he doesn't have as many fancy intestines as the high-level. Even at the level of diplomacy, there is a lot of difference between him and Wilson, who was born as an intelligence officer, and the thickness of his face is even worse. When Yang Zhen mentioned this topic, he knew some inside information, and his face was full of embarrassed expressions.
