Chapter 45: Bombers? That's another price

"Huh? Admission at your own expense? Technical support is also available? โ€

Major General North's seemingly friendly and generous proposal made the army reorganization experts and other people frown. Their eyes involuntarily looked to the northeast, as if they were thinking of some troublesome old accounts.

As the saying goes, to get rich, you first build roads.

In ancient and modern times, developed and convenient transportation conditions have always been a necessary condition for a region's economic take-off.

Compared with roads, railways have the characteristics of large capacity, fast speed and strong stability. These advantages have innumerable benefits for the development of any country or large power.

In a sense, wherever the railroad is built, it is possible to foresee a prosperous and prosperous future.

It is for these reasons that once the previous invaders forcibly occupied a piece of land, the first thing they did was to lay a railway network.

It is precisely because of this that the old hairy people pulled down their faces and tried to find a solution from the little brother of yesteryear.

As soon as these words came out, the army reorganization expert nodded approvingly.

"Although you and I are both from the army, you must also know the cost and technical difficulty of strategic bombers."

Researching an aircraft can put two generations of chief designers in prison one after another. And even not only the Air Force, quite a few tank designers and rocket designers went to Siberia to dig potatoes.

It stands to reason that no country or force is willing to be limited by others. Adhering to the idea of not steaming buns to fight for breath, it is the best policy to develop a suitable strategic bomber by yourself.

"Comrade Nie, presumably you should know something about the war on the Eastern Front in Europe. At the moment, we have more than enough defense on the front, but we are not capable of launching a counteroffensive for the time being. โ€

As for allowing the north to acquire the technology of strategic bombers, will it give it the ability to threaten its own rear after the war?

Don't make a fuss, I'll always be a generation ahead of you, why are you fighting me. What's more, in this timeline, Dongfang Hong must be the first melody to sound in the universe.

The negative answer did not exceed Lao Maozi's expectations.

As for the sale of Lancaster's prototypes and drawings to the north, the Yellow River was not psychologically burdened at all.

"As you know, both the British and the ugly countries are dominated by the navy and air force. Their technical ability in building tanks is obviously not as good as that of the Germans. โ€

"When talking about business for a while, the other party will most likely use this to lower the price. Don't be fooled, old man, and follow through on what I just said. โ€

"Mr. Nie, I can pat my chest and guarantee that it will be absolutely impossible for the north to develop or imitate any strategic bomber within two years."

The strategic bomber has directly become a luxury item that only with Ying and Ugly has the financial resources and energy to research and develop.

After a short period of thought, the army reorganization expert still rejected the other party's proposal.

"When it comes to this part, the fight is material and industrial strength."

After all, mastering the railroad is equivalent to taking the invisible sovereignty of that area.

"Our Eighth Route Army is indeed living a prosperous life, but the foundation is still not as good as you old industrial powers. Therefore, there is really no way to add four fighters to the Lend-Lease bill for a while and a half. โ€

Anyway, even if they don't sell it, the old Maozi will be lucky enough to pick up a B-29 in the future, so as to imitate the famous Tu-4 bomber.

After chatting about the withdrawal and the railway, the major general from the north took a deep breath and then took out a Russian-language newspaper from the briefcase he was carrying.

Even in the case of joint resistance to the enemy, the potential confrontation between the East and the West has not disappeared.

"Therefore, at present, we cannot make a substantial breakthrough in the frontal battlefield."

"Maybe in the future, but no one can guarantee the future."

If this scene is seen by the bigwigs in the headquarters, they have to complain that someone has brought bad old comrades.

In response to the above, Comrade SDL hoped that the Air Force would try to bomb the supply lines of the Germans. However, the troops suffered from the lack of bombers with excellent performance, and they were unable to implement this operation arrangement for a long time. โ€

After entering the door, Mr. Nie sat directly on the main seat. Meeting the expectant eyes of the major general in the north, he said unhurriedly:

"Please wait for the good news, the Jier Railway will be completed on time according to the time stipulated in the mutual aid agreement. As long as we have it, our relationship will inevitably go to the next level. โ€

When two countries or powers that are not too different in total strength clash each other, the war can easily turn into a tug-of-war of attrition.

Once you fall into such a situation, it is a matter of who has the best foundation. As long as you can hold your breath and consume the other party, you can naturally win the final victory.

To the north, that's an amazing country.

Ask yourself, if the roles were reversed, maybe you would have rejected more simply.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

When it comes to emergencies, the Yellow River makes a decisive move. He first made a mistake to the two sides present, and then dragged the army reorganization experts outside.

So!

In the list of Lend-Lease bills, there will definitely be no four-engine heavy bombers such as the B17 and the Lancaster. Even ordinary twin-engine bombers are far inferior to fighters in terms of type and number.

To put it bluntly, it is a sentence: I, Da Linzi, play money!

During World War II, Obiei and Ugly did offer Lend-Lease to the north.

However, Luo and Fat are not responsive, and there are still some items on the list that are not for sale. The four-engine heavy bomber is one of them.

Seeing that the previously tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace, the major general once again said tentatively:

In this case, it is wise to take advantage of the time difference and information gap to obtain more benefits for yourself.

After popularizing some professional knowledge, Huang He dragged the army reorganization experts back to the conference room. A second before entering the door, he suddenly thought of another thing, and simply whispered in Mr. Nie's ear:

"Lend-Lease gave us some tanks and was a relief for our immediate needs. But they will always look a little powerless in the face of enemy armor clusters. โ€

Although he observed that the face of the other party's representative was slightly ugly, Mr. Nie's tone was still very firm.

As a result, the reliability of the Pe-8's engine has been delayed in a perfect solution. The five-ton gas canister is just a legend in Magic Thunder after all.

After the outbreak of the war, the focus of production and research in the north was greatly inclined to equipment suitable for the front line. After all, only more tanks, more artillery, more Il-2, can hold off the enemy's zoo.

Hearing this, the army reorganization experts threw a look at the Yellow River that you know.

"If the other party really has a demand, then you can first offer an ambiguous price to drag them down, and wait for the border area and the headquarters to send someone to talk about it!"

Obviously, this slightly flattering remark made everyone present happy. The Eighth Route Army had a good time, and the scene was very harmonious.

Not to mention a series of benefits such as mining and dumping all kinds of domestic industrial products, and rapid transportation of materials and troops.

Talking about this, the Yellow River, which was originally a little drunk, came to the spirit.

As a senior commander stationed in the Far East all year round, Major General Beibian was naturally well aware of the attitude of Comrade SDL towards the important railway network. If it weren't for the orders of his superiors, he wouldn't even be embarrassed to speak.

It's a pity that before the war, the North invested far less in aviation than the army.

Therefore, it is a good idea to run early, and your home will always be the most comfortable.

"It's a little late, but I want to congratulate you on finally taking the first step in your counterattack. Recovering the territory is just around the corner! โ€

"We appreciate your kindness."

From a long-term perspective, the two do not want the north to take advantage of this assistance to gain the ability to strike strategic air in the air, so that it will threaten their own security in the future.

"It's true that the construction team in Suiyuan lacks heavy equipment, but we don't have a way to speed up the construction of the railway."

The front page of the newspaper was full of text and pictures of the Eighth Route Army's air force's successful completion of strategic bombing.

"Anyway, if you look at the whole world, we are the only big force that has the power to help them. Now it's a seller's market, and we can reap more benefits. โ€

"Okay, then I'll just sit back and wait for your good news."

With the classic case of the China Eastern Railway in front of me, who would dare to let other forces participate in the construction of their own railway? Isn't that waiting for more pits?

Talking about this, everyone who was not drunk here understood the meaning of the north side of the people.

Not to mention the construction of railways, the topography of some strategic points will be clearly understood.

It was determined that the partition wall had no ears, and Huang did not sell any lawsuits, so he said straight to the point:

Thinking about the early draft, he smiled and said to the army reorganization experts:

"By the way, some time ago, the north side took advantage of the Doolittle air raid and picked up a B-25 bomber. If nothing else, it should have been torn apart. โ€

Seeing that the allies looked like they had to add money, the heart of the northern major general was suddenly full of helplessness.

However, this level of trading is not something that a small major general can make a decision. Trying to find out the other party's will can be regarded as completing the task.

With the idea that buying and selling will not be benevolent, he quickly adjusted his mood and responded:

"Everyone is fighting against the invaders, and I understand Comrade Nie's feelings very well. Then I wish your industrial strength to a higher level, we are waiting for your good news! (End of chapter)
