Bai Chongxi and Zhang Zhidan looked at each other and smiled...

Jiang Fangzhen has been the president of the National Defense University for more than ten years and has always been known for his selfless management. He cannot even resist the president and the chief of staff when it comes to military academy matters. So when he heard the president, who has never praised others, praised the transport capabilities of the Air Force alone, both of them laughed.

To be honest, with the rapid development of the domestic aviation industry in recent years, these generals all know that the air force is very strong, but few people know how strong it is. They only know that in order to develop the air force, the army and the country have paid a great price! Because when manpower, financial resources and resources are tilted towards aviation, it will inevitably lead to insufficient other aspects. The Army's dream of 60,000 tank sea was cut to 35,000, and replaced by armored vehicles with low prices but insufficient protection and maneuverability (anti-tank destroyer, half-track, wheeled, etc. are all included in the list of armored vehicles). The Navy's 20 aircraft carriers and 40 cruisers plan

Only 12 and 26 were obtained. The worst thing was the automobile manufacturing industry! As of last year, all domestic vehicles and motorcycles had a total annual output of about 2 million, but after entering the arms economy, the production capacity of 800,000 of them was gradually transformed into aviation manufacturing industry. Those with ability to do assembly, and those with poor ability would manufacture standardized spare parts according to the drawings, which caused the annual output of the automobile industry to plummet by 40%. That is to say, before the end of the war, if the current scale remains unchanged, then the scale of vehicles that can be invested in the civilian market every year will not exceed 300,000, which is far from being able to make up for the current demand of more than 1.8 million per year.

Of course, these things are still top secrets, and what they show will always be the tip of the iceberg. Only when China joins will everyone know what China controls.

As the war eagles trained in the evening returned one after another, Jiang Fangzhen, the Saudi prince, the current commander-in-chief of the Saudi Defense Forces, and Iranian prince Pahlavi, who came from Tehran, took the KC2 passenger plane of China Northwest Airlines to Hyderabad, India, and gathered Muslim League leader Jinnah and Indian National Party Chairman Chandra, and returned to China to attend the upcoming Asian Liberation Front Conference.

As soon as Jiang Fangzhen left, Zhang Zhidan, who was injured and rested for several months, also flew back to the northwest. Although he usually laughed, Beria had to return these two bullets no matter what. After the two left, Saudi Arabia was left with three people, Bai Chongxi, commander-in-chief of the Persian Gulf War Zone and commander of the Fourth Army, Zhu Binhou, commander of the 22nd Fleet, and Zhao Meihang, commander of the Persian Gulf Air Force of the National Defense Force.

Zhu Binhou couldn't stop, so he left a cruiser and several destroyers and took the main force to the Indian Ocean to train. Zhao Meihang is a European ace pilot. Like Xue Muhua, he is an absolute air force madman. He has no other things in his eyes than the treasured aircraft, so he is busy expanding the base, building hangars and strengthening adaptive training. When he met two guys who gave up, Bai Chongxi, the "bare" commander, could only sigh that he was unlucky.

A group of staff members who arrived in advance took over the huge and complex preparations. Seven days later, the C fleet arrived smoothly, and at the same time, 15 territorial sea-class frigates transferred to the 22 fleet for patrol and escort. More than 100 cargo ships need to be loaded and unloaded, and 700,000 tons of ammunition and equipment and other materials must be put into storage as soon as possible. Before Japan turns against each other, it is also necessary to stuff 4.5 million barrels of finished gasoline and diesel and lubricating oil to the fleet so that people can go back early.

Before this wave was over, the grain equipment purchased from the United States, Brazil, Chile and other countries squeezed in again. He was short of manpower and had to find Ibn Saudi Arabia and transferred more than 4,000 Saudi soldiers to help. After arranging the loading and unloading and transfer, he sent someone to Tehran to inform Li Jin to be careful. After all, so many ships came in, even Britain protested repeatedly. It would be strange if the Soviet Union had no idea, so the armored teaching battalion in Iraq must be careful in everything.

On the tank training ground in the eastern suburbs of Tehran, four export-type 31 tanks rushed left and right in the sand. When the target was erected a thousand meters away, the four tanks quickly stopped. When the muzzle turned to the target, and after a few shaking, four armor-piercing bombs suddenly rushed out of the barrel. Every time the gun was fired, the heavy tanks would shake, and dust and fine sand and smoke filled the smoke. "Car No. 2 hit, others off the target." In a corner of the training ground, Ran Nanxuan, wearing a desert military uniform and a yellow beret, curled his lips and inserted a Parker pen cover to hand the statistics table to Li Jin who was watching.

He and Li Jin were both from Sichuan. He joined the army in 1923 and were admitted to the Baoding Army Armored Soldier Academy four years later. He was a graduate of the 15th class. After graduation, he was assigned to the Second Armored Division. Because there was a contract for the sale of two armored divisions in the oil agreement reached with Iran in China, Reza Khan proposed to select elite officers to help with training. Because of his outstanding performance in the division assessment, the two were recommended to bring more than 100 armored soldiers and 36 exported 31 tanks to Tehran to help Iran train tank soldiers.

Li Jin is the battalion commander of the teaching battalion, he is the deputy battalion commander and artillery training commander. To be honest, the quality of Iranian soldiers is really not very good. Just like in front of me, I have been training for three months, driving and maneuvering are quite standard, but the final live-fire shooting is rarely qualified. I really don’t know if the artillery shells are successful in the eyes of Iranian tank soldiers?

There was no good idea for these things, so they could only increase the amount of training to bring out some people, at least they should be worthy of the 500 US dollars per person per month per king. So when they saw the flags that had been raised at the end of the shooting, the two immediately stepped forward and taught the Iranian soldiers step by step, telling them one by one why they didn't shoot correctly and where the mistake was.

"Report."

After teaching the first group, the second group had not yet entered the tank. The tactical training officer and translator of the teaching battalion drove a jeep into the training ground. The Hanjiang Jeep is one of the few domestic cars that sell well in the world, exporting up to 200,000 vehicles each year, and even the American Dodge Company purchased a patent. The translator immediately saluted the two of them after jumping out of the car. Although he was in a foreign country, his words and deeds represented the image of the country and the National Defense Forces. So everyone had guaranteed each other before coming out this time that they must maintain good military appearance and discipline at any time and anywhere.

After Li Jin and Ran Nanxuan returned the gift, the translator took out a letter: "Battery Commander, Commander Bai's letter."

The fact that Lieutenant General Bai Chongxi was appointed as the commander of the Persian Gulf War Theater has spread to various troops of the National Defense Forces. Although the teaching battalion in Iraq is here to teach, it is administratively under the jurisdiction of the Persian Gulf War Theater. Li Jingang was about to open the letter, and the translator said next to him: "Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander, there is one more thing. There have been many Iranian officers in our garrison just now, and they brought more than a dozen foreigners. They were Germans after they were introduced."

"What are the Germans doing?" Li Jin frowned.

He was not afraid of the tank being exposed. The 31 tank has been known to the whole world after its debut in Afghanistan. Moreover, the export-oriented and self-use only have the same appearance, and even the engine is different. He was just strange. Why did the Germans come to him? You know, the current situation in Tehran is very complicated. There are forces that are pro-Germany, pro-China, pro-British and even pro-Soviet, as well as domestic intelligence departments, German Gestapo, British [***] Intelligence Agency and Soviet GC International, etc., and almost all of them can find traces of activities here.

The military is also clear. Among the two Guard Divisions, the first Guard Division is biased towards Germany, and from instructors to weapons are all from Germany. The second Guard Division is all Chinese weapons. Commander Bai Chongxi was a tactical instructor in this army back then, so he tended to learn from Saudi Arabia and cooperated with China to break the blackmail between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. The reason for this chaos is that Reza Khan was eager to stabilize the regime after he came to power. He grabbed Britain, the Soviet Union and learned from Germany. Seeing Saudi Arabia's current status and economic strength, he gradually moved closer to China. In addition, the conflict between local religious forces and Reza Khan is serious, so now Iran is the colosseum where various countries are secretly fighting. Last time, Zhang Zhidan was stabbed, which is a manifestation of this chaos.

"Or why we go back and have a look, there will be no trouble at this time." Ran Nanxuan was afraid of trouble, so he suggested going back and having a look before talking about it.

Li Jin nodded. It doesn't matter if he let the Germans see it a few years ago. It's not his own equipment anyway. But recently, Sino-German relations have dropped to freezing point, mainly because Germany has sold many advanced weapons to the Soviet Union. It is said that there are thousands of BF109 fighters and He111 bombers in Europe alone. Engines and manufacturing technology are also sold. Now China and the Soviet Union are already the enemy of life and death. Germany's doing this has inadvertently touched China's bottom line, so it is normal for diplomatic relations to deteriorate.

Iranian Zhengfu knew that China-Germany relations were not very good, so after the teaching camp arrived, as long as there were social activities, Iranians would try to stagger them to avoid conflicts. Therefore, it was not a good sign for Germans to visit the camp at this time. Thinking of this, he didn't bother to read the letter, stuffed it into his shirt pocket, put it on a beret, handed over the remaining training to his comrades, and took Ran Nanxuan and the translator to take a bus back to the teaching camp station five kilometers away.

"Li, you're back."

As soon as he arrived at the door, several familiar Iranian officers grabbed him and pointed at more than a dozen Germans who were stopped by soldiers: "They are Iranian VIPs and want to visit your station and tanks." In the English that Iranian officers were half-familiar with, Li Jin met more than a dozen Germans, including those in suits and German uniforms. Even though they had not been allowed to enter the station, they still picked up the camera and pointed at the Type 31 tanks in the garage far away. When they encountered the soldiers stopping them, they screamed, as if they were wronged, and several of them even started arguing with their soldiers.

This scene made Li Jin scratch his head secretly. According to the agreement, these tanks were originally from Iran, and the armored teaching battalion was only responsible for the use of soldiers. Although the agreement stated that it was an obligation to keep it confidential before the end, it was not easy for him to make things difficult for the other party, so he shrugged and said, "General Rissaf, when we came, His Majesty the King personally [***] kept the matter on his behalf, if there was no warrant."

Before he finished speaking, the Major General Rissav immediately took out the warrant from the Iranian Army General Staff. Since there was a warrant, Li Jin could not stop it, so he could only let the soldiers let the Germans go in. After seeing them walking towards the garage and the maintenance workshop, he told Ran Nanxuan to pay attention to the movements of the Germans, and then took out the letter to hide beside him to see what was going on. But as soon as he tore open the letter, he suddenly saw a German [***] official in military uniform pointed at the corner of his eyes, as if he counted the number of tanks. What's even more strange is that these Germans seemed to have to record the appearance of each tank and drilled inside to see. If it weren't for one person who could not drive the 31 tank, it would probably be misunderstood to be a car thief.

In addition to these two places, the Germans were just accustomed to other aspects. While drilling in and out of the tank, they also praised them from time to time, joked with Iranian officers, and even took photos with Chinese tank soldiers, without any abnormality. In this way, more than a dozen Germans were delayed for nearly an hour before leaving with a large number of photos. Seeing that they walked out of the station, Li Jin had the heart to continue reading the letter.

The letter was written by Bai Chongxi. In addition to informing the current situation, it focused on reminding him and the teaching camp to be careful of changes outside to prevent sneak attacks.

After reading the letter, Li Jin felt more and more that the group of Germans had problems, but the problem was not enough. So he immediately asked Ran Nanxuan to take the translator to the Iranian Army General Staff to verify the origin of the group of people just now.
