Chapter 247: Make a Trick
Truman certainly understood what Yang Feng meant, and kept a lie of Goryeo. As a card table where all parties were playing, it was much better than facing each other in the Far East.
Of course, he also understood that Yang Feng was for his own benefit. Of course, this head of state was so enthusiastic about this matter, and of course it was impossible for him to make selfless contributions. If Comrade Li held up and continued to maintain Goryeo's division, then Yang Feng could not only continue to live happily in Southeast Asia, but also his Majesty the King of Goryeo could continue to be the island owner on Jeju Island. Even his re-export trade with Comrade Li could continue to play, which was simply a lot of benefits and benefits!
But this is indeed a good proposal.
The situation there has been too strange recently. If the mines at Incheon Port were indeed done by the Soviets, it would mean that Stalin could not tolerate the demise of Kim Dapang. It is hard to say whether the Soviets would intervene if they continue to move north.
But Truman racked his brains and couldn't understand why Stalin did this. Could it be that he was really drunk with too much vodka and his mind was in a flash?
But if it wasn't for him, there would be no one else. Yang Feng was also a little suspicious, but at that time the only submarine of the Ming Navy was in the military port!
It's completely inexplicable!
Since Comrade Li has made a clear warning, it cannot be ignored. After experiencing the previous defeat, Truman dared not ignore the combat effectiveness of these people. You should know that the main force of the Northern Goryeo Army is only three medium divisions that are not really the main force of the Fourth Field Army. This can already face the US military head-on. If it is the real main force of the Xinhua Army, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with. Comrade Li has millions of such troops.
This way, the opponent's warnings should not be taken lightly.
But at this time, the generals on the front line would not agree, the surging public opinion in the country due to the Incheon incident would not agree, and the members of the Congress who clamored to declare war on the Soviet Union would not agree.
And it hurt Lee Seung-man's heart.
Truman was also in a dilemma.
There was no way, Yang Feng had to use another move, and it was a trick!
"Dian. How about we make an exchange?"
He said.
“What exchange?”
Acheson said in confusion.
"Don't cross the dividing line. Lee Seung-man is responsible for fighting Kim Da-pang. I will also dissuade them from being out of the matter, no matter what the result is. Both of you maintain their respective bottom line. As your country's respect for me, a mediator, or to give me such thanks for your face, I can sell you a newest catapult to your country."
"Catup?" Acheson was stunned.
"Yes, a new catapult. My Kunlun aircraft carrier is now being modified to install two such things. It can shoot any current jet fighter from the aircraft carrier within a 70-meter trip, and it is very simple and reliable. This is what I prepared for the tiger shark fighter that is being developed. As for the source of the technology, I don't have to hide it. It was obtained from the Soviet Union. You should know that the Soviets had already developed a new catapult a long time ago, right?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
It is the end of 50s. It is time for the steam catapult to take the stage. Since this is the case, it might as well make it appear and maximize its benefits.
Acheson nodded.
Of course they knew, and they knew that the Soviets had made the test models, but it was said that the reliability was not enough, and they also knew that it was steam catapults, but they didn't know any other technical details, including the specific indicators of this catapult. If Yang Feng stole the technology from the Soviets, it would be no wonder. The whereabouts of their Jinyiwei were mysterious, and even MacArthur was ruined, so it was nothing strange to do such a thing.
"This catapult is actually not technically difficult. The Soviets are still only creating test models. It is because their technical foundation is too poor, they have good designs, but the factory cannot meet the process requirements, but our technical strength can be practical in a very short time. I have only used it for two years, and now this catapult is very reliable. It can easily accelerate a 17-ton aircraft to 136 knots, and even a 30-ton aircraft to 107 knots. Not to mention the light carrier-based aircraft you are now, even the super sword will still eject."
Yang Feng said.
"You said this is the performance data of the Soviet catapult?"
Acheson exclaimed, he did not pay attention to anything else, but immediately grabbed the most important thing.
"Yes, at least not much difference. All I got was part of the design, and the rest was perfected by my scientists, so I was not sure what the Soviets eventually developed, but one thing is certain that their catapults definitely meet the catapult requirements of jet carrier-based aircraft."
Yang Feng said with certainty.
Atcheson was pounding, which was fatal bad news for the United States. Of course, he knew very well what aircraft carriers meant to the United States, but after entering the jet era, there was no doubt that carrier-based aircraft had to use catapults, but the development of the United States' catapults has always been stumbling. The last H-series hydraulic catapult was not only a huge gap in performance indicators from what Yang Feng said, but also because of the technical limitations of the Midway Island, it was constantly malfunctioning and not practical at all.
This also led to the current embarrassing position of the US Navy Air Force. In the era of jet-type, the Navy Air Force still uses those carrier-based aircraft from the World War II era. Although there are many models of jet-type carrier-based aircraft, they are greatly restricted in their use due to catapults, and their performance is far inferior to that of the Air Force. Taking the most practical Banshee as an example, its performance is even worse than that of the Saber, let alone the super Saber.
The reason is actually very simple. The carrier-based jet aircraft dare not do too big, otherwise it will not be able to fly.
But if the Soviets installed such catapults on their four aircraft carriers that had been launched, they could be equipped with large twin-engine fighters, thus forming an absolute advantage over the United States at sea, that would be the real nightmare!
Fortunately...
He looked at Yang Feng and said in a serious tone: "Hisser Head, we will seriously consider this issue."
What else should I think about? Truman agreed without any hesitation, and then sent an order to MacArthur. In order to prevent this bastard who was increasingly annoyed, the US government made the order public through the radio at the same time. Before obtaining the authorization of the United Nations, the US military will not cross the dividing line, because the original resolution of the United Nations was to restore peace in South Goryeo, not to enter North Goryeo to fight, so the United Kingdom would not cross the dividing line. Of course, they had no right to interfere with the actions of the South Goryeo army.
Comrade Li responded immediately afterwards. Xinhua's large-scale increase in troops to the Northeast was just a normal domestic mobilization. In order to deal with the possible large-scale refugees, he had no intention of interfering in the war between North and South Goryeo.
After Truman's order was issued, I wonder how many people were so angry that they scolded him, especially after knowing that it was Yang Feng's instigation behind the scenes. Whether Stalin, MacArthur or Cheng Wan Rhee, they were silently greeting the eighth generation of Yang's ancestors in their hearts with all the words they could imagine.
MacArthur even jumped back to the United States in person, connecting with the generals at the Joint Conference, asking them to put pressure on Truman together, but all the naval generals who understood this exchange unanimously supported Truman.
Naval Operations Minister Sherman even issued a direct order to the Seventh Fleet of the Goryeo War Zone, and if MacArthur had acted beyond his authority, he would not be allowed to provide any support to him.
After jumping up and down for several days, Lao Mai finally returned in vain. The poor Marshal Mai, who had been on the battlefield for decades, lost to a catapult. Under the strict orders of the US government, the coalition forces stopped at the dividing line. As for Seung-man Lee, he did not stop the attack. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. If he missed it, he probably shouldn't expect to deal with Jin Dapang again. The Goryeo Army, which was originally assigned to fight for the US military, finally crossed the dividing line under the cover of the air and launched an attack towards Pyongyang.
Of course, this is no longer important to Yang Feng. Anyway, his goal has been achieved. As long as the US military does not cross the dividing line, Comrade Li will not send troops. However, he also understood that this situation will not last long. Now Truman is just begging him. Once the catapult technology is obtained, what will happen at that time is not certain!
Neither Stalin nor MacArthur would accept such a result.
Especially the former, I guess at this time I was trying my best to study how to get the coalition forces to cross the dividing line! After a round of struggles, I was so happy that Comrade Li and Truman established a connection. Stalin was probably almost angry. Next, he would say that he would not believe it if he did not make any small moves.
What's more, MacArthur, the messing stick. Now he was forced to stop. It's okay if Lee Seung-man's offense is going smoothly. If the offense is not going smoothly and he is even beaten again by Kim Da Pang, he will never be able to resist and take action. In fact, at this time, the US Air Force stationed in Goryeo was still bombing cities in North Goryeo. This was acquiesced by Truman, but he strictly ordered that the bombing of the Yalu River was not allowed to be bombed.
But bombing...
Isn't it still a mistake?
In short, the struggle will not stop next, and gradually accumulate, and it will eventually become a real war. It is hard to say that the situation is ever-changing, and it has long been far from the original history. How can he guess what will happen in the future now?
