Stilwell stared at Xie Tian for a long time, smiled and shook his head: "Xie, you are talking big words."
Xie Tian laughed: "Wouldn't you know if I'm lying in three months?"
Stilwell shook his head and asked, "What support do you need from me?"
Xie Tianxin said that it would be fine as long as you don't bother me, but there was an impatient look on his face. He smiled, wiped his saliva, grabbed Stilwell's hand with both hands, shook it vigorously, and said, "Can General Stilwell It would be great to give me support. I have no shortage of weapons and equipment except airplanes for the time being, but steel, brass, food, gasoline and diesel, radio equipment, radar, rubber, medicine... These are all the supplies I urgently need now. Give me whatever you want, the more the merrier.”
Pang Yuan was so familiar with Xie Tian's face that he couldn't bear to look at it and hurriedly turned his head to cover it up.
You are already the commander-in-chief of the 10th War Zone, why can't you show some respect?
Facing Xie Tian, Stilwell suddenly felt that the aid the United States gave to Chiang was more reliable than giving it to him directly. Of course, the aid the United States gave to Chiang was not free, but it had to bet on Chiang's ability to win the war against Japan. At least the status quo is maintained.
However, Jiang received aid and did not fight a few decent battles. On the contrary, Xie kept fighting and continued to expand his results.
Wouldn't it be the icing on the cake if we directly thanked Chiang for our aid?
This idea is tempting, but it is not something that Stilwell can make the decision without authorization, but within the scope of his authority, he can lean towards Xie Tian.
Stilwell tried his best to take his hand out of Xie Tian's hand and said awkwardly: "There are too many things you need urgently, and I can't give you many things, but I can help you with some fuel and medicine, as well as radio equipment and radar. I’ll give you some support.”
Xie Tian once again grabbed Stilwell's hand that hadn't been retracted and shook it again: "This is great, when can you give it to me?"
Stilwell's hair was black, and even Pang Yuan beside him couldn't help coughing violently.
Damn you, it’s me who supports you, not me who owes you anything! ! !
Stilwell suddenly regretted his trip. He quickly changed the subject and looked at Xie Tian and asked: "I read in the newspaper that you used a new type of tank to annihilate the Japanese 6th Tank Brigade. Where did you get this tank? of?"
Xie Tian chuckled: "We independently developed it. Why, is General Stilwell interested in our X1 main battle tank?"
Stilwell was not only interested in the X1 main battle tank, he was too interested.
The U.S. military is not making good progress in the Southeast Asian battlefield. To a large extent, it suffers from the disadvantage of being inferior to the Japanese army in terms of heavy weapons. Especially the Japanese Army's Type 94 Adzuki Bean tank, which is scurrying around like a damn rat. Individual weapons cannot deal with it. Heavy weapons Can't catch up again.
Because they are separated by the Pacific Ocean, the efficiency of transporting heavy equipment of the US military to the front line is greatly reduced. It is very difficult to deal with the Japanese army with almost crazy fighting will in close combat.
Stilwell's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he looked at Xie Tian in surprise: "Did you independently develop that tank? Is it true?"
In Stilwell's impression, China's current military industrial base is only capable of producing firearms, not even cannons. But now Xie Tian told him that they can build their own tanks?
Xie Tian laughed and made a gesture of invitation towards Stilwell: "Hearing is false and seeing is believing. I will take General Stilwell to visit."
At the Fourth Factory, General Stilwell saw the X-1 main battle tank, B-1 tracked armored vehicle, B-2 light armored personnel carrier, Q-1 self-propelled artillery, and Q-2 self-propelled quadruple anti-aircraft artillery. .
At the arsenal, General Stilwell saw the XBQ-1 12.7 mm caliber rapid-fire machine gun, the XBQ-2 7.62 mm caliber rapid-fire machine gun, the gun.
What shocked General Stilwell the most was... cluster bombs.
Xie Tian introduced the performance of various weapons to Stilwell like a businessman. As for the technical parameters, Deng Bo and Xu Jinghao, who he specially called, supplemented the technical parameters.
This time, even Pang Yuan who was accompanying him understood clearly that this guy was trying to sell arms.
Is there any more profitable business during the war than selling arms?
Sure enough, Stilwell became very interested in the arms that Xie Tian tried his best to promote, especially... Damn, he wanted all the weapons that Xie Tian promoted, especially the cluster bombs, which could quickly reverse the Allied forces' offensive in the Southeast Asian battlefield. The unfavorable battle situation, no matter what the damn terrain is, a cluster bomb will be dropped to cover it all, and there is also a B1 tracked armored vehicle. It is simply tailor-made for the Japanese Type 94 tank. It will be a one-on-one beating. The little devil's Type 94 tank.
Stilwell couldn't wait to return to the theater headquarters and couldn't wait to ask Xie Tian about the price of these arms. Xie Tian was obviously prepared. He reached out for a document bag that Hu Zhiyong had been carrying and said with a smile: "I happen to have one here. I have a quotation list for various weapons and equipment. General, you can take a look at it first. We are all old friends and the price can be easily negotiated."
Pang Yuan glanced at Xie Tian who was calm and composed.
I happen to have a quotation and I still have it with me. Why do I not believe what you say?
When Stilwell took the quotation, Pang Yuan looked at him for a few times, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
Who is this quotation for?
Do you want to rob?
Damn it, you kid was originally a bandit, and highway robbery is your specialty.
Stilwell didn't seem to be very sensitive to the price. He looked over it hurriedly, looked at Xie Tian and asked, "Can you give me a copy of this quotation?"
Xie Tian smiled and said: "Of course, General Stilwell, if your troops are supported by my weapons and equipment, they will be even more powerful, and it should be easy to reverse the war situation in local areas. Especially this cluster bomb can quickly eliminate large groups in a short period of time." Large-scale enemies are more effective, especially against enemies that are good at fighting in tropical rainforests and mountains."
"Xie, you may not be familiar with our process. A large amount of arms purchases need to pass Congress. I need some convincing evidence to prove that these weapons and equipment will help the war we are currently engaged in. Money is not an issue, the key is to be effective. "
Xie Tian laughed and opened the briefcase again: "I just happened to have prepared some information here, maybe you can use it, General Stilwell. As for the money, we can all talk about it, maybe we can barter and each can take it. Needed.”
It was just right, and Pang Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
Xie Baoqing, Xie Baoqing, how much effort have you put into plucking out the wool? You don't even have to cover it up.
