Chapter 126: Another Diplomatic Contest between China and the Soviet Union

Wuchang, China Aviation Research Institute, a top-secret document appeared on the desk of the white-haired dean Feng Ru. The fifty-two-year-old Feng Ru, who already had a head full of white hair, hunched over and carefully flipped through the document in front of him from Germany.

The catalog of information obtained. Yes, the real technical information can fill a study room. The urgent plane from Shanghai has just landed at the airport, and the staff of the intelligence department are doing the handover. The Germans have really spent a lot of money.

In order to obtain a series of relatively advanced technologies such as China's radar, the latest aluminum alloy technology and the latest supercharger technology were brought out. The Aviation Research Institute, which has never solved the problem of superchargers, has found a treasure this time.

The Germans' technology in this area is no less advanced than that of European and American countries.

Japan's Mitsubishi cannot make a good supercharger. China also faces this problem, but China, which took the first step, is better than Japan in accumulating this technology. With the introduction of German technology, it is just around the corner to break through the bottleneck.

Feng Ru, who is engaged in technology, has a feeling that he can't keep up with the commander-in-chief in the past 20 years. Judging from China's current strength, the current aviation research center has done well enough. But all the time, regardless of Feng Ru's leadership,

Fang Jianxiong is always eager to put forward the next request regardless of the research results produced by thousands of domestic and foreign technical personnel.

Taihang series air-cooled engines, from type 1 to type 6 under development, Fang Jianxiong is almost urging behind with a whip. Anyway, you need money, you need people to find it, and you will buy whatever you can. These two

For more than ten years, Feng Ru has worked conscientiously in Wuchang. He has never complained or made any special requests.

The excellent qualities of this generation of Chinese scientific and technological personnel have been fully demonstrated by Feng Ru. Standing alongside the Wuchang Aviation Research Institute is the Northern Aviation Research Institute. This research institute was initiated by Wang Zhu and Bayusao, and its research direction is liquid-cooled engines.

, the focus is on research and development of aircraft engines. Compared with Wuchang, the conditions of the Northern Research Institute are much worse, because it is a research institute that cooperates with Zhou Xuexi’s North Industries Group, and cannot match the funds of the Eurasian Group in all aspects.

Compared with resources.

While Feng Ru was still studying this catalog, the secretary sent two top-secret telegrams. After opening it, Feng Ru smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Sure enough, I can't keep up with the pace of Fu Shuai! Prioritize research and development.

Jet aircraft engine." The content of Fang Jianxiong's telegram is very clear. The piston engine will be replaced by a more advanced jet engine. The Germans have already begun research in this area and have achieved a certain degree of technological accumulation. This time

In the German deal, the Germans refused to transfer the research data of this new technology. The Wuhan Aviation Research Institute, which had launched the project three years ago, lost an opportunity to verify its own technological development. He opened another telegram. Feng Ru was a little annoyed.

, said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you going to develop a new model?"

The second telegram was transferred from the Navy. Japan is developing a new fighter jet with performance no worse than the Swift-3 carrier-based aircraft currently in service. The Navy wants to develop a brand new fighter jet equipped with a more powerful engine.

, we must make Japan's carrier-based aircraft fall behind before they enter service. This requirement is a bit high. Among the current fighter jets from various countries in the world, the Swift-3 is also the top fighter. The Navy also requires that a prototype of a new torpedo aircraft be produced as soon as possible.

, this request is not too much. Because it has been developed for several years, the finished product is almost ready.

The Navy is a major customer of Wuhan Airlines, and Feng Ru cannot afford to offend him. However, it is not difficult to improve the performance of the Swift-3. As long as the German supercharger technology is digested and installed on the Swift-3, it will be fully improved.

The performance of this type of fighter aircraft. The modified aircraft is being designed

There is no difficulty in adaptability. The key is to solve two core problems. The first is the supercharger, and the second is a new aviation aluminum alloy. From the Navy's telegram, the Japanese have developed a new aluminum alloy, which seems to be

Please call the Eurasia Group Metallurgical Research Institute in Wuhu.

Not to mention Feng Hua's entanglement, the secret contact between China and the Soviet Union finally reached a substantive stage. It was obvious that the Soviet Union was unwilling to give in, but it did not want to fight. An infantry division was wiped out, and less than a thousand people escaped.

When Lu Jin returned to China, he was invited by a certain department to drink kvass. Fortunately, Lu Jin made full mental preparations and focused his explanation on the entire battle process. As expected, it attracted Stalin's attention, and Lu Jin was able to meet with Stalin. Details

Report on the process of this battle.

"Their tanks are very fast. Our army was constantly harassed by enemy planes during the march, almost once every half an hour, which made our army afraid to take the main road. The Chinese Air Force has a very strong combat effectiveness and a weak reconnaissance capability.

It is very strong. From the time our artillery fires to the time when enemy planes attack, it only takes thirty minutes. The 76mm cannon equipped by our army

Cannons cannot penetrate the armor of enemy tanks from the front. When the enemy launches armored attacks, they are often accompanied by air support. The combat method of the squadron gives people a strong three-dimensional sense..." Lu Jin said in

Stalin stayed in his office for a whole afternoon. All high-level Soviet military officials were present to listen to his report on the battle process.

After listening to Lu Jin's report, Stalin, as usual, let others speak first. A group of people expressed their opinions one after another, but none of them attracted Stalin's attention. When it was Zhukov's turn to speak, Stalin looked over with expectant eyes.

.Zhukov was a senior general who was promoted after the expansion of the suppression of counter-revolutionaries. Stalin had high expectations for him.

"Obviously, the Chinese ** team's technical equipment is already ahead of ours, and they have figured out a set of effective tactics. This can be seen from the fact that they easily dispersed one of our infantry divisions with just one mechanized division.

According to what Comrade Lu Jin said, my point of view is very clear. The Chinese are adopting a new tactic. The biggest feature of this tactic is the three-dimensional coordination of multiple arms.

Same. I think that the intelligence department should carry out targeted work. We should grasp the relevant performance data of the Chinese new tanks as soon as possible. We should also grasp the relevant data of the Chinese latest fighters as soon as possible. From past battles, we

It is not difficult to see that the role of the air force in future battles is significantly increasing. We should pay attention to the analysis of this battle and find corresponding countermeasures."

The result of the meeting was obvious. Stalin gave up the idea of ​​fighting with China now. Originally, Stalin hoped to completely consolidate control of the DMZ through a victory, but now it seems that this is very unrealistic. The attitude of the Chinese

Extremely tough and responsive. If the intelligence agency had not discovered that China's mechanized troops had not been mobilized on a large scale, Stalin would have planned to send more troops to Siberia and Central Asia.

In less than two days of fighting in the DMZ, it can be said that Stalin was broken into a cold sweat. From what Lu Jin said, it can be seen that the lead of the Chinese *** team is actually very large. This means that the Chinese took the initiative.

If the Chinese have been hiding these things, what will be the result if they suddenly bring out these new tactics and technical equipment in the possible Sino-Soviet war in the future? Stalin couldn't help but tremble when he thought about it. Speaking of tanks, the Soviet Union has already begun research and development

New tanks. But this aircraft is in trouble. Although the Soviet Union also attaches great importance to the research and development of aircraft, the main fighter aircraft of the Soviet Union are still double-winged wood-skinned structures. Thinking of these fighters, the Chinese single-wing metal aircraft will be replaced on the future battlefield.

After the fighter planes were beaten into lighters, Stalin felt that it was urgent to develop new fighter planes.

In the end, Stalin decided to negotiate with China! Regardless of his reluctance, it could only be solved through negotiation. Another problem is that Germany has a close relationship with China, and intelligence work in this area must be strengthened. Thinking of China

Once Germany united to fight the Soviet Union, Stalin felt that it would be the same as the end of the world.

The Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union made an urgent call to the Beijing Cabinet of the Republic of China, requesting the two countries to hold emergency consultations at the level of foreign ministers on the Demilitarized Zone. The Soviet Union did not even mention the entry of the Chinese troops into the Demilitarized Zone, but only politely asked China to maintain restraint and calmness.

.This is how diplomacy is. When your fist is big enough, you can speak confidently. Stalin was a very extreme Russian chauvinist. Just look at Stalin’s attitude towards China in history. At his core, Stalin looked down on China.

During the Anti-Japanese War, out of consideration for the national security of the Soviet Union, Stalin provided assistance to the National Government instead of Yan'an. This also shows that the national leaders of the Soviet Union can only consider the national interests of the Soviet Union at all times.

That's true.

What is interesting is that Molotov, a staunch supporter of Stalin, took up the post of Foreign Affairs Commissioner in advance in this time and space. At this meeting of foreign ministers, it was Molotov who came forward. Negotiations on how to define the international status of the demilitarized zone began.

Wang Chonghui, the foreign minister of the Republic of China, took the initiative and was of course not polite. He asked that the meeting be held in Beijing. Of course, the Soviet Union could refuse. Obviously, the Soviet Union would not refuse. At this time, the Soviet Union was more afraid of war than China. The strategy formulated by Stalin was clear and clear.

Stabilize China, be wary of Germany, and do everything possible to obstruct the Sino-German alliance.

Fang Jianxiong's attitude is also very clear. Under the premise of today's unclear world structure, the outbreak of war between China and the Soviet Union will seriously affect China's economic and industrial development. When will China join the world war in the future? At this time, Fang Jianxiong naturally hopes to go beyond

The later the better. This meeting is destined to be a slow process with ups and downs. This can be seen from the fact that Molotov did not immediately express his position after responding to Wang Chonghui's request that the meeting location be in Beijing.

Wang Chonghui did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked to see Fang Jianxiong when there was no clear answer. The Republic of China government was very interesting. As long as diplomacy was involved, the Prime Minister Gu Weijun would take the initiative to ask the foreign minister to see the president, and Fang Jianxiong's opinion would prevail.

A severe cold swept across northern China. After a night of heavy snow in Beijing, the world turned white. It was very dangerous to go out in this weather, but Wang Chonghui had to put on a thick coat and scarf to go out. After leaving the heated office,

A cold wind blew on his face like a knife, Wang Chonghui lowered his head and quickly got into the car.

Beijing brand cars are now used exclusively by cabinet ministers, and the special cars used by the President and Prime Minister are JAC cars produced in Hefei. China is like this, many things are difficult to change. It only takes five minutes from the Cabinet to the Presidential Palace.

During the drive, someone had been clearing the snow on the street early in the morning, and by nine o'clock in the morning, the area was open to traffic normally.

This heavy snow is not a good thing for Wang Chonghui, who is preparing for negotiations. It is definitely stupid to go to war with the Soviet Union in winter. At least before the beginning of spring, no matter how strong the Chinese army is, they will not dare to go out to attack. Especially

It was in that ghost place in the Far East, the garrison of Irkutsk Fortress. They were probably all hiding from the wind and snow in the fortress.

The problem that Wang Chonghui is worried about is the same problem that Fang Jianxiong is worried about. However, the two worry from different angles. Fang Jianxiong is thinking of the parallel history of World War II, where the Germans suffered a lot in the Russian winter. So Fang Jianxiong has been making people pay attention to this

Regarding matters in this area, don’t really fight it. Tanks can’t move. Cars can’t fire, and cannons have become decorations. That would be a joke. In fact, after China retaken the Far East, special research departments have been focusing on these problems.

Research. Why does the tank need to use a diesel engine and use the T34 model? That is, this thing can run in Russia in the winter.

Looking at the white snow outside the window, Fang Jianxiong saw a report from the Ministry of National Defense in front of him. It said that the Far East Military Region requested the General Logistics Department to provide a motorized sled for walking in the snow. If this thing was really used by the Soviet Union,

The amount needed will not be small. This is another huge expenditure, and Congress has to keep its mouth shut. Fortunately, because of the demilitarized zone, several recent increases in the defense budget have been passed without much resistance.

China and Lao Maozi are really natural enemies in today's world structure. Red China in parallel history has not been able to come to the same path with Lao Maozi. This shows how Lao Maozi views China in his bones. China in this time and space

, has become much stronger. China, which has become stronger, is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Soviet Union. Both China and the Soviet Union regard each other as the biggest threat, right? Thinking of this, Fang Jianxiong smiled unconsciously and said:

As for Stalin, his life was much better. Stalin still had to guard against Germany. After all, Hitler now clamored for ** all day long and always wanted to attract China to join his ** camp.

When Wang Chonghui came in, Fang Jianxiong was still in front of the window in a daze. When he heard the movement, he turned around and said with a smile: "Liangchi, you can just call me in this weather, why bother to go there in person?"

"It's a matter of military and national affairs, Chong Hui doesn't dare to neglect it." That's what he said, but Wang Chonghui had other worries in his heart. He was a member of the Kuomintang earlier, and also served as the foreign minister of the Nanjing Provisional Government. The protector after the second revolution.

During the movement, Wang Chonghui quit the Kuomintang and joined the Republican Party. When the media mentioned him, some reporters would always settle old scores. Wang Chonghui himself cared about this very much, so he kept a low profile. During the previous two presidents, Wang Chonghui held the highest position.

He was just the deputy minister. After Fang Jianxiong ascended to the top, and with great promotion, Wang Chonghui was able to turn his aunt of many years into the first wife. Therefore, in foreign affairs, Wang Chonghui always relied on Fang Jianxiong's opinions, even on some less sensitive issues.

I will ask for advice beforehand.

"Let's sit down and talk. Come and serve tea." Fang Jianxiong was not too polite. To treat a cautious person like Wang Chonghui, being too polite is unnecessary. Wang Chonghui's ability is beyond words. The Nanjing Provisional Government in Parallel History

During this period, without the support of a strong government, Wang Chonghui used his diplomatic wisdom to relatively successfully resolve the Sishui Port dispute. In contrast, the foreign ministers of the Beiyang government, except for Gu Weijun's brilliance at the Paris Peace Conference, were

The diplomats are lackluster.

After sitting down, Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "Since Brother Liangchou is here, I will briefly talk about my views."

Wang Chonghui bowed slightly and said: "I respectfully ask for the President's advice!" Fang Jianxiong smiled and did not say anything more on this issue. It is estimated that he would not change it. "The Soviet Union is now under the absolute power of Stalin, and his personal will is the Soviet Union."

His will, his diplomatic will is the diplomatic will of the Soviet Union. We must first understand the nature and habits of this person. According to all aspects of intelligence, Stalin was an extremely insecure person, especially towards neighboring countries.

Serious distrust. This is fundamentally related to the social system of the Soviet Union. Stalin never cared about the interests of friendly countries. As long as it was in Russia's interests and within the scope of national strength, Stalin would do it.

You can see this from the fact that the Soviet Union quickly turned to Central Asia after solving its internal problems and the Polish threat in Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union competed with the British in Afghanistan and with us in Central Asia and the Far East. The current situation

It is quite clear that what Stalin was most worried about was the formation of a political alliance between China and Germany. In that case, the Soviet Union would have to fight on two fronts, forcing Stalin to give up his ambitions in Afghanistan. Otherwise, it would just be the Soviet railway artery targeted by the protruding part of the Demilitarized Zone.

, it is not something Stalin can bear. Therefore, it is not difficult to figure out Stalin’s thoughts. First, it will not anger China and lead to a Sino-German alliance. Second, it is best to restore the demilitarized zone to its original state. If it cannot be restored, it will also ask China

The ** troops are not allowed to cross the Yangki Kurgan! Thirdly, what Stalin wants to see most is for China and the Soviet Union to sign a non-aggression pact again, preferably for ten years. Thirdly, we will not agree to it in the first place."

Incompetent people will not have a future. Although he will ask for instructions on everything, Wang Chonghui will not let go of this opportunity to show his personal abilities in front of Fang Jianxiong. "Can Chonghui understand this? The bottom line of this negotiation lies with Yang Ji.
Chapter completed!
