"Let me show you some information."
Yang Lichu took out another portfolio. It's sealed.
The seal is painted with fire paint. The fire paint is intact.
Confuse. What's this?
"For me?"
"Yes. It's for you. You can tear it open and read it yourself. I'll recycle it after you finish it."
"good!"
Zhang Yong tore off the fire paint.
Once the paint is torn off, it can never be restored.
No matter how skilled you are, you can't do it.
In some spy dramas, you can open the document bag and restore it. No trace. That's because there is no fire paint.
Once opened, it means confidentiality is lost.
Open.
Inside are several pieces of white paper.
After pulling it out, I found that it was information about the German BF109 fighter jet.
Not much data. All are common. Some of the data isn't very accurate either.
Of course, Zhang Yong couldn't remember the exact data.
But you can be sure that the model is correct. bf109. The main German air force fighter during World War II.
In addition, many times, its model will be written as me-109, but it is actually the same aircraft. The latter is named after its designer Messermister.
"Want to buy?"
"I haven't started to contact you yet. How to buy it?"
"That……"
"But we were given the opportunity to watch the air show."
"good!"
Zhang Yong nodded.
It is also good to watch the flight show.
Generally speaking, air shows serve several purposes. Like a declaration of force. Foreign military trade, etc.
If it's the former, it has nothing to do with the Chinese. But the latter means there is a buying opportunity.
If you can buy it...
Before the Japanese invaders HNA's Zero fighters came out, the bf109 could smash all the Japanese invaders' army aircraft into slag.
German aircraft and Japanese aircraft are not on the same level at all.
Until the demise of the Japanese Army Air Force, no aircraft of any type could make it onto the world stage. Hainan Airlines only had the Type Zero, which it could barely produce. The Type Zero was destroyed, which meant that the Japanese invaders and HNA were completely finished.
As long as there are a hundred bf109s...
Just a hundred...
However……
He was soon defeated by the cruel reality.
The Japanese invaders will soon reach a military alliance with Germany. Germany began to restrict the export of weapons and equipment.
Even the German weapon master equipment that has been signed before cannot be continued.
In other words, it is no longer feasible to continue to obtain weapons and ammunition supplies from the Germans.
Looking at the world today, the only ones that can deliver weapons and ammunition to China are the Soviet Union and the United States.
The Soviet Union was transported by land.
The United States is transported by ocean.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union indeed provided a lot of weapons and ammunition.
For example, the famous 74th Army. After the German-style equipment was lost, what was replenished was Soviet-style equipment. Therefore, for a period of time in the middle, he should be called Su Arms Master. Later, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union had no time to take care of itself, so it stopped aid.
That period was the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War.
Both the fruit party and the red party are at their lowest ebb. The Japanese invaders were at the height of their arrogance.
It was not until later that a large amount of aid from the United States came in, and the 74th Army became mainly American-style equipment. Beautiful weapons have become synonymous with high-end products. The New First Army, New Fifth Army, New Sixth Army, etc. are all masterpieces of American equipment.
However, American equipment relies too much on firepower. When you run out of ammunition, it's very painful. In reality, China cannot provide almost unlimited ammunition. Therefore, some American equipment has become a burden.
"It may not be realistic to buy weapons and equipment from Germany." Zhang Yong took vaccinations in advance.
"Why?" Yang Lichu frowned, "We have a good relationship with the German advisory group."
"I personally speculate that Germany and Japan may gradually get closer and may form a military alliance. At that time, the Japanese invaders will naturally ask Germany to stop arms transactions with us. The Germans will definitely comply."
"What is your personal inference?"
"Yes. I thought about it myself. You can't put all your eggs in the same basket."
"But apart from Germany, no one else is willing to help us."
"America can."
"them……"
Yang Lichu hesitated to speak.
The United States actually has no official position. It's all decided by the arms dealers themselves.
In fact, the arms embargo has nothing to do with the United States. Americans don't comply either. They also want to dump weapons and ammunition into China. However, reality always seems to be evading them intentionally or unintentionally.
The main domestic firearms are mainly 7.92mm rifle ammunition. Or mainly Mosinagan. This is a natural advantage. Therefore, German-style equipment has an innate affinity. Most popular. Followed by Russian equipment.
Why is it said to be Russian style, not Soviet style?
Because the Mosin Nagan rifle is a product of the old Tsarist Russia and has flowed into China in large quantities. There are a lot of stocks in the north.
Then there is the French equipment of the Yunnan Army. But only the Yunnan Army used it.
Then there's the British equipment. Mainly Ying Qiqi and so on. Used by British mine protection teams. Some of it leaked out. But it doesn't work. Gu Zi said. Because matching bullets are hard to find. Without bullets, it's just a fire stick.
Relatively speaking, the stock of Citizen Zhongzheng (Springfield M1903 rifle) is very small. Very few people in the country use it. As standard equipment, it is not even enough to equip one regiment. Chinese people have little impression of it either.
It is indeed very difficult for American arms dealers to carve out a niche in a red sea.
The National Air Force Ground Guard Force is the only Chinese army equipped with Springfield M1903 rifles. This is the only one with no other branches. But the quantity is too small. There are only more than 10,000.
"In addition to the Hawker Type 3, there is actually another research model that we should pay attention to."
"What model?"
"It seems to be P-38, the twin devil."
"What?"
Yang Lichu said she didn't understand.
Zhang Yong thought for a while and decided to give up describing it in detail. It was too ahead of its time.
It's still 1935, three or four years before the appearance of the Twin Demon P-38. It’s useless to say it now. It would not be fun if the flapping of butterfly wings caused changes in history. If history changes, he won't be able to be a magic stick anymore.
Just keep your feet on the ground and work hard to make money!
My own coffers have been filled, and it’s time to contribute to the country.
"Lockheed."
"What?"
"You should pay attention to this company."
"good."
Yang Lichu didn't ask why.
Of course she knew about Lockheed. It is also an aircraft manufacturing company.
Compared with Curtis, Lockheed seems not to be very famous. This aviation giant, which is unknown to everyone in later generations, is still unknown. No fame at all. Yang Lichu had never dealt with them before.
But the emergence of the P-38 Lightning fighter allowed Lockheed to start taking the military aviation route. The twin devil P-38 did live up to expectations and became the main fighter of the US Army Aviation in the early days of the war. He also shot down Isoroku Yamamoto in one fell swoop and became famous ever since.
Can P-38 fighter jets be introduced?
Zhang Yong doesn’t know.
He is only responsible for speaking.
You little guy, do you still want to change the course of history? Thinking too much.
What is your skill?
It’s to catch Japanese spies!
Not aviation!
Everyone else is a professional, how much do you know?
"When are you leaving?"
"immediately!"
"So anxious?"
"Long nights and many dreams."
"I am here……"
"Not here. It's Nanyuan Airport."
"Well……"
Zhang Yong understood.
It’s not that I’m worried about the Japanese invaders stopping me. They were worried about the top brass of the 29th Army.
After all, the relationship between Commander Song and Chiang Kai-shek can be said to be very complicated. mutual cooperation. They were suspicious of each other. The latter is even worse. While he was worried about the Japanese invaders, he was probably even more worried about Chiang Kai-shek.
In later generations, some people once hypothesized, what would be the result if Zhang Xiaoliu led the Northeast Army to resist?
Will Lao Chiang borrow a knife to kill someone? Get rid of all the Northeast Army?
No one can answer. But no one can deny it.
Chiang Kai-shek's structure was too small. It's not surprising at all to do something like this. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will still be like this in the future.
Otherwise, how could a king bomb be beaten to pieces?
Gao Yuanhang flew a plane to Nanyuan Airport to transport a batch of gold away. Who knows what Commander Song's attitude is?
If the Japanese invaders knew about it, would they sow discord? Definitely.
If the Japanese invaders are unable to stop them, they will definitely instigate the 29th Army to come forward and detain the national air force on the ground.
This can happen at any time.
In fact, once Commander Song ordered the interception. Then you can't leave at all.
The situation is complicated and turbulent, and every minute adds to the danger. No wonder Yang Lichu was so anxious.
Rail transport should be relatively unscathed.
After all, Yang Shanfu was escorted by so many people. It’s also a short distance from Tianjin Wei to Beiping Nanyuan Airport.
"Then let's go!"
Zhang Yong is not sloppy either. This is business. No delay.
So much gold must not be left in North China. Otherwise, we will all be at the mercy of the Japanese invaders from now on. The Japanese invaders were given the advantage in vain.
After air transportation to Jinling, even if half of it is misappropriated, half is used to purchase aircraft. That's also dozens of planes. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, it was considered a quite powerful force.
Otherwise, do you really think that the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal was awarded casually?
That was what Zhang Yong "earned"!
Yang Lichu looked around quietly. Found no. Suddenly stood on tiptoes. Give him a gentle kiss on the cheek. Then run away quickly.
Zhang Yong:? ? ?
Wow! Suddenly there was a feeling of happiness.
I thought she didn't want to. Unexpectedly, she actually didn't resist herself at all.
Think about it too. If she didn't like herself, how could she let him succeed again and again?
He had already been slapped on the face.
Her father is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice!
Really...
hehe……
I know that your intentions are evil, and you know that I am reserved...
Suddenly I was full of motivation.
Suddenly I remembered something. I previously said that I would take the pilots from Nanyuan Airport back...
I haven't had the chance to go to Peking yet. There is no way to deal with it!
Now that Yang Lichu is here, let Yang Lichu handle it?
Just as he was about to speak, something suddenly occurred to him. The map shows that mark No. 4 appears.
Who is marked No. 4?
Oh, it's the mysterious member of the Wuyuan Pistol Group. Don't know the name.
He's actually nearby?
Are you here for the Fuxing Society?
Sure enough, the other party came directly to No. 49 Shihu Street.
Zhang Yong came forward, "You are..."
"I'm looking for Chen Gongshu."
"What do you call me?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Call Chen Gongshu out! I have something important to do with him."
"Who are you……"
"I am his brother! Brother! Chen Gongpeng!"
Zhang Yong:......
Come on, it turns out you are Chen Gongshu’s brother!
Damn it, my own people, my own people!
Welcome in quickly.
