Wilson is very sincere in building the latest models of these P-40 fighters, and the anti-union should deal with them first. If they want to get this latest US fighter, at least until the US military meets its own equipment needs by the end of this year, they should not count on it. However, he can think of a way to meet the needs of the Anti-Union on the transport plane, but the number will not be too much.

Listening to this guy's spitting explanation, Yang Zhen's face was very ugly. It's not that the Americans don't have the ability to provide such fighters to the United Nations, but they are not willing to provide them at all. Otherwise, even if it cannot be provided in large quantities, it is better to provide dozens of emergency planes first.

They are now refusing to provide this new fighter, which is also the pinnacle of the entire World War II piston fighter, and this is probably the right mind. They refused to provide it to themselves, but provided it to Chongqing, which is obviously playing a means of checks and balances.

In the wake of the fact that the British at this time suddenly offered to interrupt the aid, and that the Americans had always refused to supply the P-XXXVIII fighters before. Although Wilson has been evasive, looking for all kinds of reasons to excuse himself. But Yang Zhen is still keenly aware of the real intentions of the Americans behind this matter.

After sending off Wilson, who had broken up a little unhappily, Yang Zhen, who was pale, sat behind his desk and didn't say a word for a long time. The fact that the performance of combat aircraft is inferior to that of the Japanese army has always been a considerable shortcoming. The Soviets always keep a lot of hands, and the Americans play double-faced, which makes Yang Zhen a headache.

From the point of view of the Americans, there is little hope of getting the P-51 fighter. However, after the resumption of air raids on Japan, the only Yak-9 fighter that could compete with the new Japanese fighters of the Anti-Japanese Union had all been transferred to escort bombers. The remaining part of the Yak-7 fighters could only barely fight with the Japanese Type 3 fighters.

As for the latest P40N fighters aided by the Americans, according to the report of the air force, the performance of these N-type fighters has not been fundamentally improved compared with the previous model. Judging from the combat examples of the US military, at most, it can only partially compete with the Type 3 fighters. In this battle with the Kwantung Army, the Type 4 fighters newly put into the northeast battlefield could not be countered at all.

For Yang Zhen, under the current situation of insufficient production capacity of the Yak-9 fighter, it has become a top priority to solve the performance and quantity of front-line air superiority fighters. If you don't think about it, the aviation units will pay a heavy price for the struggle for air supremacy. It seems that if you can get an air superiority fighter with better performance, you can only start with the Soviets.

Just when Yang Zhen was thinking about how to find a way to deal with the more difficult Soviets, Kovalev came to the door by himself. Looking at Kovalev, who was uninvited in front of him, Yang Zhen also said directly: "Didn't you go back to Moscow to report on work?" When did you run back? Looking at your lewd smile, there must be nothing good for me to look for. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's dissatisfaction, Kovalev said indifferently: "Comrade Yang Zhen, don't evaluate a Soviet comrade who has been helping you, as well as a staunch proletarian and ** fighter. I still understand what the word obscenity means. I'm smiling with a pure and sincere smile, okay? And how do you know that if I come to you, nothing good will happen? ”

Regarding this guy's answer, Yang Zhen directly ignored it: "Don't think you kid don't know why you kid came to the house this time when a night owl entered the house." Didn't you just take a fancy to the bombers that the Americans stationed with us again? I can tell you that I'm annoyed right now. I can't help you with this. ”

"If you have that time, why don't you go back and urge you ** warriors to speed up the efficiency of your performance of the contract. When will you be in place? Don't keep fooling us with those second-rate fighters such as Lag III and Yak VII, okay? ”

"You're a ** warrior, so please ask about your ** style? Even if we don't have a ** style, but we have a agreement, you should always abide by it. I'll ask you right now when the promised La-5 fighter will arrive. Do you still have credibility as a human being? ”

Yang Zhen's rhetorical question made Kovalev quite embarrassed: "Comrade Yang Zhen, I am here today for this matter. The Soviet government has promised that the La-5 fighters that were originally promised will be supplied to you in the second half of this year, and all of them will be of the latest FN type. And depending on the situation, a batch of the latest Yak-III fighters can be supplied. ”

Speaking of this, Kovalev told Yang Zhen as if offering a treasure. In view of the urgent needs of the Chinese comrades at present, the Soviet side can provide a batch of captured German-made BF-109 and FW-190 fighters to fill the gap in combat effectiveness before the arrival of the new aircraft newly developed by the great Soviet Union and ready to be supplied to the Chinese comrades.

This old man proudly told Yang Zhen that the Soviet army had achieved a great victory in the offensive at the end of '43 and the first half of '44. It has completely reversed the previous decline, and after the Battle of Kursk, contacted the Soviet army that launched a counterattack to the west. Tanks were used to carry out large-depth interspersed operations, continuously encircling and breaking several heavy German groups.

The Germans, who were almost defenseless after being beaten, abandoned a large amount of supplies and weapons after running out of limited fuel. On the ground, the Soviet counterattack forces captured a large number of German aircraft that had to be abandoned by the Germans before they withdrew because they had no fuel, as well as sufficient spare parts.

These captured German planes, which were largely intact at the time of capture, could be supplied to the Chinese comrades in response to the crisis before the arrival of the more powerful Soviet fighters. Coupled with the German planes captured by the Soviet army in previous operations, it is completely possible to gather two Soviet-organized flight divisions this time.

Among them, there are 240 BF-109F and G fighters, and 180 FW-190 fighters. If the Chinese comrades deem it necessary, the Soviet side can also provide a batch of captured Junkers 87 and 88 bombers, plus more than 30 complete Junkers 52 transport planes.

Looking at this man, because of the current Soviet army, he has gained the upper hand on the Soviet-German battlefield. The original worry on his face has long been gone, replaced by a face full of spring and a face of horizontal flesh, plus a figure that is obviously blessed because of his wide heart. The new Soviet military uniform on his body can no longer cover his stiff belly Kovalev.

It took a lot of thought to suppress the idea of hitting his so-called self-esteem. After all, it is really not suitable for the Soviets, who are likely to be their only source of new fighters at the moment, are too stiff. At present, in the hands of the Soviets, who are advancing all the way, there are still many things that they urgently need.

From the second half of the fourth or third year to this time of the year, the Soviets have launched five consecutive counterattacks. Not only has it firmly grasped the entire initiative in the Soviet-German battlefield and recovered the whole of Ukraine, but it has even opened the border of the Soviet Union on the southern front. Although the Soviets suffered heavy casualties and losses in these battles, they did indeed achieve great victories.

The Germans, who were all routed on the ground, because the Germans, whose sources of oil were increasingly scarce, still abandoned a lot of equipment. At present, the only Romanian oil field that could provide a large amount of oil for the Germans was greatly reduced by the all-out bombing of the American and British air forces.

And after the end of the Ukrainian campaign, the Soviet army was already approaching Romania, and the fuel supply of the Germans had fallen to an extreme. This is not too surprising. In January '44, the Soviet Union turned over more than 100 tons of light weapons and ammunition and tens of thousands of tons of heavy weapons and ammunition at one time, which is enough to show that they have achieved a lot of success on the Soviet-German battlefield.

Since the Soviets are now proposing to transfer these planes to the Anti-Japanese Union, it means that they have indeed captured so many complete planes. According to the practice of the Luftwaffe, the number of spare parts at the same airfield was definitely not a small number when these aircraft were captured.

If you can really get these abandoned equipment from the Germans from the Soviets, it will still be quite beneficial to yourself. At least it can effectively make up for the current embarrassing situation of insufficient quantity and quality of air superiority fighters. In particular, German fighters, transport planes and bombers, which were abandoned due to lack of fuel, could be a source of replenishment for themselves.

Of course, this premise was that the Soviet side had to guarantee the supply of spare parts. War is a war of attrition, consuming not only weapons and equipment, but also the parts and components needed to ensure the dispatch of these weapons and equipment. In particular, the spare engine can be said to be quite crucial.

If the Soviets could not guarantee the supply of spare parts, then the planes, even if they received them, would be able to use them only for a short time. At that time, the Soviets may not know what kind of moth will come out again, and if they don't know it, they will become Zhou Lang who lost his wife and broke his soldiers. Because according to their own understanding, the Soviets would never be so generous.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhen finally nodded and said, "Say, this time you are so generous, what do you want?" There is no such thing as eating lunch for nothing, and I still understand it. Your things are never given in vain. This time you're looking at something again, don't tell me that I'm the one I just mentioned. ”

Yang Zhen's point-to-point evaluation made Kovalev's cheeks extremely thick, but he couldn't help but blush slightly and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, no wonder Marshal Timoshenko, Marshal Zhukov, and Marshal Shaposhnikov have great appreciation for you. You've guessed it, and we'd like you to help us get some information and performance about this B-29 bomber. ”

"Of course, it would be best if you could get a full bomber. If you really don't have a chance, then you can get a variety of such bombers, or some of the engines. In exchange, we can transfer all captured German fighters and bombers to the Chinese comrades, so as to make up for the gap in the combat effectiveness of the United States and Britain that are unwilling to provide new fighters. ”

"Comrade Yang Zhen, it's not that we refuse to fulfill the agreement. You should know that this Soviet-German war was fought extremely brutally. The Soviet people, for the sake of their emancipation, paid a great price. Every day on the battlefield, hundreds of planes are shot down. The air battles on the Soviet-German battlefield were much more brutal than what you have experienced, and our troops are making heavy sacrifices every day. ”

"The development of aviation technology by the Japanese is far from comparable to that of the Germans. The speed of renewal and the production of its aircraft, neither of which could be compared with the Germans. The air pressure of the Soviet Red Army on the front line far exceeded the military pressure brought to you by the Japanese army. ”

"Although the performance of our Soviet fighters has surpassed the German aircraft and inflicted heavy losses on the German invaders in the air. However, the current production of new aircraft in the Soviet Union is still not enough to meet the needs. The delay in fulfilling the agreement is not that we are unwilling to fulfill it. Rather, it is the production capacity of new fighters, which can only meet the needs of the Red Army for a while, and cannot be provided to you for the time being. ”
