December 24, Republic 2780 (1939), Berlin, Chancellery.

It's Christmas Eve, but a bunch of high-ranking officials in Germany are destined not to have a good time. Because today the mustache is furious again.

"Those damned Chinese guys, these greedy Judas! In the past few months, they have sold 2,400 loaded chariots, 5,000 cannons, 4,000 planes, 20,000 cars, countless guns and ammunition, and dozens of complete factories and equipment...... Is this their benevolent neutrality?"

It's no wonder that the mustache was angry, originally he thought that as long as he broke through the Maginot Line, the French would be dead. According to their plan, Paris would be taken in half a month at most, and the French would be forced to stop resisting and withdraw from the war in three months.

Of course, their first step was completed, and it was overplayed, and in less than a week they finished in Paris. But the second step, the plan to force the French to the negotiating table, ended in failure because of the interference of the two super nurses of China and the United States. There are two Chinese and American families desperately adding blood and buffs at the back door, and the Gallic chicken finally survived the most difficult period, and now it is alive again.

The most excessive thing is that China is still selling hot engines, and selling all its weapons and equipment in service to the Entente countries. So the mustache felt that he was scolded by Mr. Wen, and what about the goodwill and neutrality?

"It's so despicable! It's so shameless! It's so shameful! they're a disgrace to the people of Yari-an!" the mustache waved his arms and roared like an angry beast. All the high-ranking German officials were silent, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

The mustache roared for a while, probably thinking that he was just not having enough fun, and soon he turned the finger on Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop: "Joachim, you are not doing well enough in diplomacy!

It's not enough for your sister! Ribbentrop only felt that a million alpacas were running wildly in his heart, and it was not easy to suppress the national scolding that blurted out. He said: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, although our diplomatic work with China has some shortcomings, we have also achieved great results. ”

Ribbentrop said with a smile: "We have already negotiated with China about the sale of weapons and materials to the Entente countries. They explained that this was normal trade behavior, that it was just free trade, and that there was no other meaning, and that trade could not be stopped. Thanks to our efforts, Chinese have agreed that if they are under the same conditions, they can buy it from us first......"

"Under the same conditions, can you buy it for us first?" The mustache was about to burst into his eyes, and roared angrily: "Joachim, this is the result of your diplomacy? No, this is not what I want! You must make the Chinese, those damned profiteers, no longer sell weapons to the Entente! Oh, and the hateful Yankees across the Atlantic, can no longer sell supplies to the Entente. Damn China and the United States, these guys will definitely go to hell!

At this time, Albert Speer said: "But, Prime Minister, China and the United States are both big countries, we cannot take coercive measures against them, and we now have a lot of materials that must be imported from them, and without Chinese materials, at least half of our military production cannot continue." "Speer is not only the Minister of Armament, in charge of all military production, but he is also the economic leader of the German Empire, and he is in this position to best appreciate the importance of China and the United States, especially China.

Yes, China is a super big milk mother, but it will not only milk the Entente countries, but also milk the allies. Anyway, if you give money, you will be milked, and Tong Su will not be bullied. In fact, Speer still has a sentence that he didn't say, that is: "The Entente countries need materials from China and the United States, but the Allies need materials from China and the United States even more, especially China." If it tears its face with China, let alone China's direct entry into the war, even if it is only to cut off material trade, Germany will probably kneel. ”

Putting aside other things for the time being, most of the non-ferrous metals such as nickel, chromium, and tungsten, as well as strategic materials such as petroleum and rubber, were supplied by the China-led People's Revolutionary Union. As for advanced high-tech products such as high-temperature resistant alloys, cloud burst bombs, electronic equipment, aero engines, antibiotics and medicines, they must rely on China's supply.

As long as these supplies are cut off, the fun will be great. Even if you don't kneel right away, you'll definitely have a hard time.

The mustache is also a typical pragmatist, and although he is extremely indignant at China's behavior of taking advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of war money, he is just talking, and a few words can be counted, so what else can he do?

"These greedy guys, we'll tolerate them for now. After we kill the Entente, we will settle accounts with them!" With Speer's words, the mustache took the opportunity to go down the stairs. He thought for a moment and said, "Albert, how is our jet development? Since Britain and France bought China's new fighter jets, our air force has the same advantage as before. ”

Speer said proudly: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, China's jet aircraft are progressing very smoothly, and three models such as the ME180 have been successfully tested and passed various technical verifications. We had been stuck with high-temperature alloys, and the life of the engine had not been able to go up, and the best products only had a 30-hour life. Since we introduced high-temperature alloys in China, this problem has been solved, and now the life of our jet engines has been increased to 180 hours, which is a fivefold increase, and it is ready for mass production. "In fact, the high-temperature alloy that China sold them was originally used for piston engines, but no one stipulated that this thing could only be used in piston engines.

Finally heard a piece of good news, and the mustache nodded with satisfaction: "Well, hurry up, the development of propeller aircraft has reached the limit, and by now, the propeller aircraft of all countries are almost the same, and if we want to have an advantage, we must have jet aircraft......"

Speer said confidently: "Yes, Prime Minister, I will make proper arrangements." The engine production line is currently being commissioned, and the first products will be ready in three months at the latest. In half a year at most, our pilots will be able to use jets......"

"Well, that's good...... "The mustache suddenly frowned and said, "China has always been an air force power, how are their jets progressing?"

The mustache didn't ask "whether China has engaged in jet power" at all, because he also knew very well that with the background of China's "number one aviation power", it was impossible not to think of jet type. After all, this set of theories has appeared at the end of the last century, and many people have been working on it in the past few decades, but it is limited to relevant technology and no state investment, resulting in no results. And with China's demonstrated technological prowess, it is not difficult to solve these problems, nor is funding a problem. Not to mention, Germany's current high-temperature resistant alloy technology is still imported from China, if the Chinese do not know to engage in jet type, it is strange.

Hearing the boss ask, the intelligence chief Hans-Messerschmidt hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to our intelligence, China has been equipped with jet aircraft. ”

As he spoke, Messerschmidt took out a stack of photos: "This is a photo of a Chinese jet that our intelligence officers spent a lot of money to get......"

The photo shows the Coach-4 "Big Magpie" trainer aircraft. This kind of training aircraft based on the original time and space K-8 is the largest number of jet aircraft in China at present, with more than 500 equipment of various types, mainly allocated to various flight schools as advanced training aircraft, for training jet pilots. Although China's secrecy methods are very against the sky, once there are more such things as airplanes, it is impossible to leak no rumors at all, and airplanes still have to go to the sky, as long as they go to the sky, they will be easily seen. And it is impossible for a flight academy to be located in a deserted place, and it is impossible to play night flight at night, and it is inevitable that people will be seen and photographed.

So it's no secret to several of the world's leading powers. Of course, they don't think it's any surprise, because everyone is developing jets, and several big countries have their own plans for jet development, which is not a big deal. And seriously, China is not the first to engage in jet production, Britain did it even before the First World War, but there was no result.

Although he was prepared to let the powers fall into the "super piston" pit, he never thought that the powers would rush into it and not get out, and his most optimistic estimate was to let them spend a little more cost and time. Because the great powers are not stupid, and they are all industrial powers, to a certain extent, they will naturally find problems and come out of the pit.

The aviation technology of this plane is more developed, and the great powers have successively come up with mass-produced engines with more than 2,000 horsepower. However, their experts soon discovered that once the piston engine reached the threshold of 2,500 horsepower, the price-performance ratio began to plummet exponentially. At this time, the structural complexity, production difficulty and manufacturing cost of the engine are much higher than the increase in performance, and it is becoming less and less cost-effective. And at the same time, they also found that after the speed of the propeller aircraft reaches 700 kilometers per hour, it is difficult to increase it, not at all, but the cost increased is too much, which is very uneconomical.

When everyone finds that the piston type is already a dead end if it continues to develop, it is natural to turn their minds to the jet type, because theoretically this type of propulsion can reach more than ten times the speed of sound. Again, there may be a huge difference in IQ between human individuals, but between collectives, there will not be too much difference, and no one is much more stupid than the other. They are all industrial powers, and they do not lack technical background, so it is strange to think that this road is unexpected.

Even in the history of the original plane, it is time for the great powers to mount jets at this time. And the aviation technology of this plane climbs faster, if it is according to normal development, it should have been done at least five or six years ago, and being able to mislead them to make jet planes now has already shown that General Wen Zong's "bringing people into the ditch" is still quite successful, not to mention that the great powers have wasted a lot of manpower and material resources. The key is time, and it has delayed them for at least five years, which is the most important thing.

The mustache looked at the picture and said, "Well, Chinese's jets are not the same as our ME180, do they have side air intake......s?

Although the mustache of the original plane is not from a professional background, he has been engaged in industrial management for many years, from the Minister of Industry in Bavaria to the Minister of Industry in Germany. I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs run, at least there's nothing wrong with my vision. He could see at a glance that China's "big magpie" had a very mature appearance and was not as copycat as the ME180. Well, by the way, the ME180 of this plane is similar in appearance to the ME262 of the original plane, but with better performance.

"Prime Minister, it seems that the Chinese jets are only used for training and research and do not equip combat units, at least for now," Messerschmidt said. According to the analysis of our experts, this should be due to the fact that their jet technology is not yet perfect and not competent for front-line operations, and now it is only being tested and further improved. ”

Speer also said: "Well, it should be like this, now that several major countries are conducting research on jet aircraft, even if China is a little ahead, it will not be too far ahead." However, we can really learn from this shape, although I am not an aviation professional, but from this shape, the Chinese aircraft is indeed more mature, this big magpie is more streamlined, and the flight performance should be better......"

"Hans, can you get a real plane like this?" asked the mustache.

When Messerschmitt heard this, he quickly shook his head into a rattle: "My Prime Minister, this is very difficult. There aren't many of them, and Chinese monitor them so strictly that our people can't even get close to the base......," Messerschmidt cried. Boss, you're still playing, the last time we engaged in the diesel tree, we had already lost almost all of China's dark lines, and now it hasn't been restored. At present, intelligence personnel in the world regard China as a ghost gate, and they generally have to write a suicide note when they go to China.

The mustache also seems to remember the oolong of the last diesel tree incident, so in retrospect, God knows if the Chinese will make a name for themselves in the plane. Still don't play yin, so he said to Ribbentrop: "Joachim, you make a diplomatic effort to get China to sell us this jet, not too many, a few can be ......"

"Yes......" Ribbentrop had no choice but to agree, although he had no bottom in his heart.

The mustache said: "If they refuse to sell jets for the time being, then let them sell us planes that are no less than those of Britain and France, yes, they are in service! In addition, there are combat vehicles, the Empire's waste designers, they grew up eating fodder! I think we need 1,400 Red Wolf armored combat vehicles, and we want the latest model, which is the kind of 90mm main gun!"

The mustache also thought that the Chinese would probably not sell it, and now it will not be for the time being, so he retreated, since you said that it would be sold to us first, then we will buy it. And not just because the Chinese Red Wolf has long been famous, better than the German tank. What's more, even if they don't use it themselves, it's better than letting Britain and France get it.

"Yes, my Prime Minister!" Ribbentrop breathed a sigh of relief.
