Wang Yue didn't stay with Li Yunlong for too long. This time he went there and just sent 200 trucks and 1,000 tons of fuel to Li Yunlong. After confirming that there were no major accidents there in 1940, he came back. In fact, there can be no accidents. As long as he can travel through time, it proves that Lao Li is still alive. He can also search a hundred kilometers radius. Even if he can't go through, he can still know Li Yunlong's situation. The reason why he wants to go over is that he is more worried about it. The situation of the great raid in the north.

In fact, Wang Yue was also asked by Tasha not to act arbitrarily in Tripoli. Even if he has to go out now, he always shows up with a different look at night. Not only does China have no record of his leaving the country, Libby There is no record of his departure from China. In theory, he should still be traveling in China.

After returning to Tripoli, Wang Yue finally saw the so-called advanced air superiority fighter that Tasha had flown over from Moscow. It was just that this fighter was so unfamiliar, strange, no, it should be weird. What kind of aircraft was this? Why didn't he remember it before? Come on, shouldn't it be IL-15 or IL-16?

"Victor, the brand new Bell P-39 fighter jets made by Bald Eagle are all brand new. They are stored directly in port and have 0 engine hours." Tasha stood next to a somewhat weird fighter jet. , introduced with some pride, but the unconcealed guilty conscience had already been explored by Wang Yue.

The Bell P-39 "Flying Snake" is a very unique aircraft in the Bald Eagle equipment sequence of World War II. This personality is not only reflected in the extremely smooth lines; the engine is placed behind the cockpit, and the cockpit layout is correspondingly forward; the huge 37mm External factors such as the shaft cannon are also reflected in the design philosophy of not installing turbocharging, focusing on low-altitude performance, and being sluggish at high altitudes, which is very different from other Bald Eagle aircraft. The aircraft also uses a tricycle landing gear and may be the first single-seat fighter.

"Wait a minute, I have to find out what this is?" Wang Yue took out his mobile phone and began to search for relevant data about this aircraft. Compared with the internal network, there is still a lot of information that can be found on the external network, but for P- The evaluation of the 39 fighter jet is polarized.

In the eyes of Western pilots, this is an industrial piece of garbage, worse than any aircraft of the same period. The interior space is small and tight, inconvenient to operate, the engine power is insufficient at high altitude, the static stability is poor, it is difficult to control, and it opens sideways. The car-type hatch is inconvenient to enter and exit, difficult to escape, complex in structure, and difficult to maintain.

For Alliance pilots, certain advantages stand out. The slender nose allows for better streamlines and better visibility, and can accommodate heavy ordnance and retractable front wheels of the tricycle landing gear. This kind of landing gear has good ground maneuverability and can increase the landing speed. In this way, the wings can be designed smaller and the airspeed can also be increased. This is a big baby, a big baby that wins the whole game, and it is an upgrade. Limited Big Baby.

"It's okay Victor, this kind of aircraft can actually deal with low-intensity conflicts. The most important thing is that it's free. Those guys in the aviation complex are not easy to be generous." Tasha's tone was full of confusion, and she also It’s embarrassing. She and Mikoyan split the money for selling the Lager-3. He can get more than one million U.S. dollars more for a basic version. If it’s a high-end version, he can get an extra four to five million U.S. dollars. If Wang Yue doesn’t let go. If so, they won't be able to make a lot of money within a few months. If their opponents push for public relations again, the Lager-3 aircraft may not be as easy to sell as it is now, so they must seize this window period and work hard to make money.

"Okay, as long as you are happy, but shouldn't all these planes be returned to the Bald Eagle?" Wang Yue was a little curious. These planes were aided by the Bald Eagle under the Lend-Lease Act. According to the agreement, after the war, these planes will be returned to the Bald Eagle. The aircraft must be returned to the other party, just like the National Army in 2023. Many so-called art mechanics have greatly reduced their combat effectiveness after the war. The direct reason is that the original leased weapons were returned to the Bald Eagle. Of course, this There are even more outrageous operations. When various countries were selling war supplies after the war, the government also purchased some. Yes, it paid back some of the high-priced items, and then purchased some low-priced items. As for the price difference, everyone knows.

"Victor, these are all issues left over from history. I don't have much inventory in the Far East, but there are still a lot of such sealed weapons in the area west of the Ural Mountains, but they have all been sealed by the aviation complex. Due to legal reasons, these are all It cannot be sold publicly in the West. I will help you get them one after another in the near future. You will see more in the future." Tasha smiled awkwardly, how to explain? Can you criticize the alliance policy at that time? That is definitely not possible.

"Tasha, I can ask for these P-39 fighter jets for emergency use, but you have to help me compile a pilot's driving experience as a supplement." Wang Yue nodded. This kind of aircraft may have many problems, but for China in 1940 The P-40 had a good reputation, but the production line was closed in 1944, and the highest number in service seemed to be no higher than that of the P-39.

"No problem, Victor, I'm ready!" Tasha excitedly jumped in front of Wang Yue and handed over a thin booklet, obviously prepared for it.

"These are all handwritten by veterans?" Wang Yue flipped through the booklet. It was not thick, with only a few dozen pages and more than a dozen handwritings. They were all about experience and tips. Occasionally, there was still time for a few pages, so it should be They were all compiled during the war. These are all experiences gained with life. Although the text may not be much, it contains a lot of gold. With these things, the pilots over there in 1940 could master this in the shortest time. This kind of fighter aircraft, and judging from these words, this kind of aircraft is very good in aerial combat, enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the current Japanese aircraft. I just don’t know what will happen against Zero Fighter?

"They are all handwritten by ace pilots, or the ones with three-digit results." Tasha looked at the plane, her eyes also full of complexity. Once upon a time, it was a great Alliance Air Force, but now?

"That's really amazing!" Wang Yue flipped through it casually and put the notebook back. He had already written it down. As for the original, give it to Tasha. It may not have much value, but its preciousness is incomparable. , perhaps still the last traces left by those once brilliant heroes.

"You don't want it anymore?" Tasha was a little surprised.

"I have written them all down. You can keep the originals. Although the Alliance has passed away, their deeds are indelible. Perhaps one day, these notes will allow more people to remember them." Wang Yue suddenly felt He should do something. He wanted to preserve as many of the heroes' deeds as possible, especially in 1940, when many things didn't happen. He had to do something else.

Some people died, but not completely...
