City of Cold Wind, General Staff Operations Conference Room.

Throughout the Second World War, the North Side always attached great importance to the construction and application of railway junctions.

The bearded man also repeatedly emphasized in high-level internal meetings that railway transportation was one of the important material factors that determined the outcome of the war.

It is precisely because of the developed and uninterrupted transportation network between various regions that the old Maozi can get the aid materials and weapons and equipment sent by the eighth master in the shortest possible time.

"The reason for bringing everyone together today is simple."

"I'd like to hear what you think of this new batch of weapons, especially when compared to the same type of equipment in Britain and Ugli. Your impressions are very important and will be related to the formulation of future counteroffensive plans. ”

"By the way, Comrade SDL also attaches great importance to this matter."

"Someone is responsible for recording the whole meeting, and he will personally review every word you say afterwards."

Since Yamaguchi Tawen staged a big drama in the Pacific region, Ah Chou has been a little lacking in skills for a while, and his assistance to his allies has been visibly reduced.

The battles in North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and Southeast Asia left the British Royal Fleet in a constant state of exhaustion.

The British tanks and warplanes that have appeared on the Eastern Front in Europe today have made the enemy aware of the existence of the Arctic Ocean shipping lanes.

No one knows whether Desan will be in a hurry to prove the strength of his navy's surface ships and directly send the aircraft carrier fleet that has just completed training to intercept it.

With Zeppelin and Tirbitz in service, Raeder is eager for a major naval battle.

Perhaps the above situation will improve to a certain extent in the future.

But even if Maozi is willing to wait, it is impossible for Desan to be indifferent. Even a half-military strategist like a mustache knows what it means to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

With the idea of preparing for the worst in everything, the bearded man already has a plan to find a home in his heart.

Obviously, the sudden rise of the eighth master is his goal, which is one of the reasons why he initiated this product exchange meeting.

The opening remarks of the chief of the general staff of his own country made the representatives of the army and air forces in the combat conference room sit upright, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at them.

A moment later, an aviation group leader was the first to speak under pressure from his superiors:

"The batch of fighters sent by the allies is very good, especially the fifty improved Spitfires, whose performance is simply dozens of streets away from the P39 and P40, and it is not too much to say that they are completely exploded."

"Hurricanes are also very popular within us, as many people prefer to fly them into combat because of their personal preferences and fighting style."

"If possible, I hope that the higher authorities will focus on the resources of the Lend-Lease Act on the two advanced fighters. For other irrelevant parts, consider suspending or stopping the supply. ”

That's right, the Hurricane and Spitfire fighters sent to the north are all special versions that have been upgraded by the Border Weapons Experimental and Research Bureau.

First of all, considering that the Maozi suffered a lot of radio equipment and technical losses in the early days of the war, Huanghe equipped each fighter with an ultra-high frequency radio.

Excellent transmitters and receivers, coupled with up to six available frequency bands, directly pull the reliability of the equipment.

In contrast, the radio equipment currently used by the North Air Force is very backward. In a sense, it's not too much to call it industrial waste.

The quality of their circuit boards is so bad that they will strike if they are exposed to the slightest moisture or low temperatures.

With such a crotch-pulling equipment, it is God's blessing to be able to maintain normal communication, not to mention the guidance instructions for multi-band communication and air-ground coordination.

Secondly, in terms of firepower, these hurricanes and Spitfires have also ushered in a wave of upgrades.

The firepower of the early monoplane fighters was weak because most of the fighters only had to consider air supremacy.

But the Eighth Route Army Air Force is different, we have troops specially responsible for near-ground support, and taking the time to find opportunities to lick the ground is a fine tradition engraved in our bones.

It is precisely because of the above situation that the fighters sent to the north dismantled the ancestral 7.7mm Browning and replaced them with old godmothers with 250 rounds of ammunition each.

Taking into account the special battlefield environment on the Eastern Front, the fighters of the Yellow River Special Edition are also equipped with a weapon heating system.

These equipment with strong firepower and excellent radios are the dream of Maozi at the moment when Aug's aid is unstable, and before the new talents such as their own La 5 and Yak 9 are not officially put into service.

The report of the front-line soldiers made Lao Zhu move his attention to the direction of the top echelons of the Air Force.

"This comrade, who has been fighting the Germans since October last year, is the backbone elite of our 126th Combat Aviation Regiment, and has a record of four shootdowns."

"As a pilot who flew over the La-3, MiG-3 and P40 Tomahawks, the point he just said is absolutely credible."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction. While arranging for the staff officers to seize the time to record the contents of the meeting, he motioned for the army to send a representative to speak as well.

Receiving the instructions, the supreme commander of the 30th Army stood up directly, he took out a 40 fire engraved with the logo of NORINCO from under the table and said:

"While air supremacy is important, the Army also needs weapons to support from allies."

"I won't say much about infantry and artillery equipment, the more high-quality French goods the better, and today I want to focus on expressing my views on individual anti-tank rocket launchers."

"Personally, I think it's exactly what we need the most equipment. If it can be delegated to the class level, I can confidently spend the whole winter with the Germans. ”

When the north received the first batch of 40 fires totaling three thousand doors, all ordnance specialists and weapons engineers were taken aback.

Without him, just because the depth of penetration value on the instructions is too rebellious, it is completely beyond the scope of their cognition.

Lao Maozi even suspected that the translators of the eighth master had made a big oolong and made a mistake in the unit of measurement when compiling the manual.

With the idea of experimenting to find out the truth, they sent several 40 guns to the experimental range on the spot, and fired a few shots at the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks captured from the enemy, as well as their own T-34 and KV1.

Actions speak louder than words.

When a group of technicians watched the armor-piercing shells penetrate the frontal main armor of the above-mentioned tank, they had to admit that their skills were inferior to others.

"Chief of the General Staff, judging by the performance of this bazooka, even if the Germans update the equipment of the armored forces, it will be able to adapt to the intensity of future wars."

"Personally, I suggest that we either talk to our allies about technology transfer, or let the Second Special Design Bureau carry out the imitation work."

After speaking, the supreme commander of the 30th Army took out a folder, which recorded the experimental parameters of the 40 fire, as well as its specific performance in several small battles.

"Okay, I'll pass on your suggestions to Comrade SDL, you've done a great job."

······

Three days later, the operational conference room of the General Staff.

"Comrade Makarov, in view of your excellent performance in the Great Patriotic War, the General Staff has decided to transfer you to the 16th Army of the 2nd Military District of the Far East as Chief of Staff of Major General."

"The specific tasks and arrangements are all in your letter of appointment. You pack your things and set off to try to report to your new unit by the end of January. ”

"I tell you one more thing, you must have a good relationship with your old friend, you are now a bridge of communication between the two sides!"

"Understood!"

After getting the summary of the meeting of the senior commanders of the army and air force, the bearded man locked himself in his office and finally made a difficult decision.

The Lend-Lease Act must not be stopped, and cooperation must be strengthened.

After making up his mind, he immediately asked his subordinates to contact their allies thousands of kilometers away on the intercontinental radio, and made his own deliberate request to the other party.

That is, to build a relationship of mutual assistance.

The north will withdraw its own men from the area designated by the eighth master, leaving only a 16th Army to ensure the safety of the railway transportation line.

Of course, if the devil's Kwantung Army convulsions again, they will also transfer people back to protect their own interests.

In exchange, the eighth master needs to provide a full set of technology for the Type 41 40mm rocket launcher, and increase the previously determined amount of aid by three percent.

The relationship shall be effective from the date of signature and shall be valid for a period of three years.

If it is to be annulled, the other party must be notified six months before the expiry. If both parties fail to give due notice, it will be automatically extended by one year.

For this proposal, the Yellow River is naturally strongly supportive.

The Type 41 40mm bazooka is essentially an improved version of the RPG2, and even if there was no previous Lend-Lease Act, the North would have started copying it from the captured PZF250 three years later.

Exchange what originally belonged to the other party for what originally belonged to you.

Well, that makes sense.

As for adding 30% of the aid? This amount is not taken into account by the Yellow River at all. After the development of Suiyuan, there may be many new harvests, and the people with the Mars factory are so arrogant. (End of chapter)
