This Major General Li Mei was quite embarrassed and overwhelmed by Yang Zhen's few words. Fortunately, Wilson, who was beside him www.biquge.info reacted relatively quickly, and when he saw the embarrassed expression on Major General Li Mei's face, he hurriedly interjected: "Yang, the matter of aiding the new fighter is not something that the two of us can solve, it is Washington's decision." I've been fighting for you, but it's going to take time, so don't be too anxious. ”

"We are here today to solve the problem of coordination between our two armies. As for the other questions, I think it's better to put them aside for the time being. Besides, don't you have a fighter with excellent performance that can provide full escort? ”

"Although the United States has not provided you with new fighter jets, it still basically meets your needs in terms of aviation aluminum. Yang, in the words of you Chinese, let's not settle old scores, so as not to affect our friendship. I think we'd better get down to business and solve the problem at hand first. ”

Wilson's words fell, Yang Zhen looked at Wilson, who was squeezing his eyebrows straight at him, and then looked at Li Mei who looked embarrassed in front of him. Finally, he nodded and said, "Major General Li Mei, I have already proposed a solution to the problem you raised. If you accept, then I will give an order to our aviation forces to consult with you immediately. ”

Yang Zhen changed the subject, and the embarrassed Major General Li Mei nodded busily, indicating that he completely agreed with Yang Zhen's opinion. However, he still stubbornly demanded that he be able to carry out air strikes on the set targets at the same time as the bomber group of the Anti-United Nations. It is hoped that the Anti-United Nations will be able to dispatch as many bombers as possible, instead of engaging in a one-to-one confrontation with the US military.

For this stubborn guy, Yang Zhen said lightly: "General Li Mei, there is still a big gap in flight performance between the B24 bomber we are equipped with and the B29 you are equipped. In terms of cruising speed alone, there is a difference of more than 100 kilometers. As for the Stirling bombers, there was an even greater difference in speed. How can several aircraft with such a large performance gap perform tasks together? ”

"Of course, I am not a professional in aviation and cannot give too specific an opinion on this matter. How to carry out this joint operation in detail, let our air force discuss with you in detail. As for the number of sorties, you can study it among yourself. However, in terms of the number of aircraft to be dispatched, you have to consider the capacity of our industrial sector. ”

"In this way, you come up with a plan as soon as possible and choose the target for bombing. For the rest, you will consult with the command staff of our air forces. Although I am disappointed by some of your actions on the American side, after all, we are allies, at least for now. In terms of cooperation, we are absolutely unambiguous. ”

After that, Yang Zhen picked up the phone in front of the two people, hung up the phone to Fang Ziyi and Liming in person, and explained his meaning to the two people. And the anxious Major General Li Mei, after seeing Yang Zhen put down the phone, immediately said goodbye and went to find his counterparts of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Looking at this guy's hurried back, Yang Zhen could only smile bitterly at Wilson.

After Major General Li Mei left, Wilson, who did not follow him to leave, frowned and said to Yang Zhen: "Yang, I don't think you should be entangled in the new fighter." In the provision of new weapons, Washington has Washington's considerations. And not only you, but even the Soviets did not acquire such fighters. ”

"As an old friend, Yang, I have a suggestion for you, instead of continuing to dwell on this matter, it is better to find a way to expand the production capacity of your kind of fighters. Although I never thought that a Russian aircraft of inferior quality would surpass American aircraft in terms of performance, it is the best option for you right now, isn't it? ”

Although Wilson's remarks were not directly specified, he also told Yang Zhen in disguise that the United States has completely decided that it will not provide the Anti-Japanese Union with the P51, the latest American fighter jet. Unlike before, he always told Yang Zhen that he was fighting for the Anti-United Nations. Although Wilson's words went round and round this time, the intention was very clear.

His remarks also mean that the door for the Anti-Japanese Federation to obtain this new fighter has basically been completely closed. Wilson is not hiding this time, he should have received direct instructions from the White House or the top of the Army. Otherwise, with this guy's personality, he wouldn't have said it so directly.

And for Yang Zhen, this incident is not just a simple new aircraft incident. Yang Zhen felt quite keenly that this was still a not very good signal. Of course, the Americans will not all stop fighting against the aid of the United Nations now, and the Americans, who cherish the blood of young Americans, will not be so short-sighted.

But in the next step, I am afraid that their aid will be gradually reduced. Especially in terms of weaponry, I am afraid that they will further reduce the quantity and performance of the United Nations Confrontation Aid. Perhaps he should start making some preparations to prevent the possibility that the Americans may turn around at any time according to the changes in the situation of the war, and they have never lacked the means to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhen said to Wilson: "Since you have made a decision in the United States, then we have to accept it, and if we don't accept it, we have to accept it, right?" However, I would like you to guarantee the supply of aluminium for aviation. If you Americans refuse this demand. ”

"Then our next step will not be to launch any attack on the Japanese army, let alone have any strategic cooperation with you. Wilson, crossing the river and tearing down bridges is not just something you Americans will do. Think about the nearly one million Japanese troops sent by China to return to the mainland, what kind of pressure will be caused on you? ”

"Still, as an old friend, I hope you Wilson can do us a favor. I know that you have great powers, although you may not be as good as you would like in the high-level areas, but your friends are all over the two war zones in Europe and Asia. I hope you can help us get some of the German Junkers 52 transport planes that you have captured, as well as the Italian SM 82 transport planes. ”

"I guess your brother won't help with this request. You Americans have now completely stopped providing assistance to our transport aircraft, and you have not been able to do what you promised before. Your brother has only brought us a total of eight C47 transport planes, and can only airlift one formed company. , so much so that even the amount of the battle damage is not enough to make up for this battle. ”

"Since you won't help, then we'll have to find a way to ensure that our troops can move quickly when necessary. The number of transport planes in our hands has never been enough to meet the needs, and with the losses caused by the war and accidents, we urgently need to replenish the transport planes. ”

"Of course, if your brother is more capable and can help us get some German ME-109 fighters, as well as FW 190 fighters and some accessories, we will be very grateful to you. Brother Wilson, the little capacity we have in the aviation industry at the moment is focused on the production of fighters and attack aircraft, and we have no energy to take care of other aircraft production. ”

"And the production technology of the C-47 transport aircraft that you transferred is still a bit too complicated for us at the moment. At least for quite some time, we will not be able to mass-produce it for the time being. The most important thing is that the aluminum you give us is only enough to maintain the production of fighter jets. ”

For Yang Zhen's request, Wilson finally nodded despite some hesitation: "I can only say that I will try my best to help you." But whether this thing will succeed or not, I am not sure now. After all, the Germans suffered heavy losses and stubborn resistance. The number of planes that we have captured in the European theater is, of course, not very many. ”

"And the situation in the European theater of operations is complicated, plus our tactics are different from the Russians. The captured equipment is still very limited. In particular, the peculiarities of combat aircraft, you should understand this truth. All I can say is that I will do my best to help you, but I can't guarantee the outcome. ”

Wilson's reply, Yang Zhen just smiled and didn't say anything. Whether this guy with his hands and eyes has this energy or not, he still knows it. If it is said that he wants to increase the quota and type of aid equipment for the United Nations, he does not have the ability to do so. But he still has the ability to get what he wants from the European battlefield.

Not only does Wilson have a large family behind him, but he also has a wide range of friends in the U.S. Army. It belongs to the kind of person who does not have a high position, but the energy is definitely not small. Moreover, through some special intelligence sources, Yang Zhen knew the head of the intelligence department of the US Mediterranean Theater, and he had a close relationship with this guy.

As long as he agrees, he still has a way to do this. The troops were quite fond of the FW-190 fighter with its excellent performance. In addition to the limited production capacity of their own, the Americans have repeatedly restricted the supply of new fighter jets by the United Nations. The Soviets have always hesitated in this matter, and Yang Zhen can only choose to engage in some second-hand goods first.

In fact, this guy did not disappoint Yang Zhen in this regard. At the end of the Ardennes campaign two months after this conversation, an American fleet unloaded 150 German-made FW 190 fighters at the port of Dalian, as well as a large number of such aircraft parts, which were most urgently needed by the Anti-Japanese Union.

At the same time, 50 Junkers 52 transport planes loaded with spare parts, and 17 Italian SM82 transport planes were also transferred to the Anti-Union at this time. Wilson used his connections to replenish the Anti-United Nations with 20 C47 transport planes and 20 C46 transport planes.

But these 40 American-made transport planes were also the last batch of transport planes obtained by the Anti-United Nations. After the arrival of these 40 transport planes, the Americans stopped all bomber assistance from the United Nations except for the B24 bombers, except for the B-24 bombers, which were damaged in battle, and the 220 SBD dive bombers provided by the US Navy at one time.

The supply of B-25 bombers, which had always been insufficient in number, had been completely stopped. By February 45, the supply of A20 attack aircraft was also completely stopped. Even the P-40 fighters are being offered, and the number is constantly decreasing. Even the supply of spare parts for the B24 bomber is getting smaller and smaller.

In order to meet the needs of air defense in the increasingly large base areas and the continuous expansion of the air force, Yang Zhen could only find ways to mobilize the production capacity of the northeast and make every effort to ensure the production of fighter planes. Even in the past four or five years, even the output of the Il-2 attack aircraft has been pressed to ensure the production of fighters.

However, its own still quite limited production capacity has reached the limit, the output is still difficult to meet the demand, and the external sources are almost completely interrupted. Yang Zhen can only continue to find ways to expand production capacity, and on the other hand, buy second-hand goods seized by them from the Soviet Union at a high price, instead of the gap that cannot be met due to his own insufficient production capacity.

Fortunately, as the Soviet army advanced into the German mainland, more and more German aircraft fell into the hands of the Soviet army. Although there are still some difficulties in replenishing parts, fortunately, a considerable part of the needs are met. However, these German fighters captured on the ground needed to be overhauled when they were handed over before they could be integrated into combat units.
