Instead of limiting the exchange of aviation technology between the two parties in the previous agreement to sending overseas students to the Soviet Union, they could study and still work in the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet aircraft were shoddily manufactured, the level of wartime production was even lower. But the basic The combat performance can still meet the needs of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
According to the information collected by the intelligence department, although the Soviet Union has currently transferred a large number of troops, as well as ground tanks and other equipment from the Far East, the total number of aviation units in its Far East Military Region and Siberia Military Region, plus the Pacific Fleet, remains at nearly 2,000. level.
Although there are many I-Sixteen fighters among them, which have lagged behind in performance and cannot be used on the Soviet-German battlefield, there are also many new fighter jets such as MiG-3, Lager-3 and Yak-1. Although the number of these new fighter jets is not large, , disproportionate to the number maintained on the Western Front, but definitely not a minority.
Although the Soviets withdrew most of their ground troops from the Far East and devoted them to the Western Front battlefield, they did not significantly reduce the number of aviation forces. It can be seen that the Soviets' vigilance against the Japanese did not change due to the Pacific Ocean. When war broke out, the Japanese went into full-scale war with the Americans and cut too much.
The number of its aviation forces deployed in the Far East has always been superior in the number of Japanese army and navy aviation forces deployed to Hokkaido, South Sakhalin and the Northern Kuril Islands. Last year, the Soviets tried to find a way to get those SB series bombers and the Soviet Union from the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The two light bombers were asked to go back, but it did not weaken the deployment strength of these two aircraft in the Far East.
Unlike other fleets, which have a large number of sailors deployed ashore to fight, the Soviet Pacific Fleet has always maintained a complete scale. Even better than the Northern Fleet, which is responsible for escorting the fleet transporting supplies from the United States and Britain to aid the Soviet Union, it is even better equipped with shore guns and torpedo boats. The number is also continuing to increase.
Although the Soviets believe that after the rise of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the ground threat posed by the Japanese army to the Far East has dropped to a situation that has basically disappeared. However, facing the powerful Japanese navy and facing Japan across the Sea of Japan, Even the Soviets, who directly bordered the Japanese on Sakhalin Island, did not take their defenses on the sea lightly.
Even under the current fierce air battle on the Western Front, the US-made P-40 fighter jets have gradually begun to replace the I-Sixteen fighters originally equipped by the Pacific Fleet Naval Aviation. All the I-Fifteen fighter jets originally equipped by the Far East Military Region have been replaced. Retired from active service. All this information shows that the Soviets are capable of providing a group of fighter jets from the Far East alone.
Although the Soviets are a little darker and a little too selfish, they should still have some good things in their hands. If they can find a way to exchange for some new Soviet fighter jets, they don't necessarily have to go to the United States and Britain to be inferior. But what about this time? This is the most important thing in order to make the Soviet people spit.
Compared with the limitations of the aviation force's intelligence sources on the Soviet Union, the intelligence of the headquarters intelligence department is much more detailed than that of the aviation force. As early as last month, the Anti-Alliance Intelligence Department knew that the Soviets had begun producing two new types of fighter jets at full speed. One The model is the La5 fighter, and the other is the Yak-9 fighter.
Moreover, in June, the Soviets also obtained a batch of K-type and F-type models with the best performance among the current P-40 fighters, and began to receive Spitfire fighter jets. The Soviets, who now have much more money, will use the P-types they originally obtained. The C, M, N and other models of the Forty-Zero fighter jets have been transferred to the Pacific Fleet Air Force, replacing the I-Sixteen fighter jets used by the fleet.
Judging from the current cards in the hands of the Soviets, although the overall level of the cards is average, the number is very sufficient. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance can think of a way to come up with something that can impress the Soviets, they should be able to get some new aircraft.
At least partially meet the needs of aviation.
The current problem is that the Anti-Japanese Alliance lacks enough bargaining chips to prompt the Soviets to agree to this exchange. If the Soviets want to get what they need from the Soviets when they have not yet been able to completely restore the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield.
Equipment, without enough weight, I'm afraid it won't make this greedy polar bear spit.
Yang Zhen thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally decided on the American aid supplies. However, the Americans' promises were always flashy, which made Yang Zhen feel that he lacked good cards. Of course, if the Americans provided aid, it would be completely possible.
By meeting the standards they promised, Yang Zhen would no longer have such a headache, negotiating with the Soviets, whom he was least willing to deal with.
Although they had promised each other technical cooperation when signing the understanding agreement with the Soviets, the Soviets' more concessions were focused on training aviation engineering designers for the Anti-Japanese War. There was not much commitment to equipment.
There are many restrictions. This undoubtedly further limits the cards that Yang Zhen can play.
At the same time, the current amount of food provided to the Soviets is already the maximum amount that the Anti-Japanese Alliance can provide to meet its own needs. Any more will threaten the safety of the Anti-Japanese Alliance's own demand for food. Coal
Although the supply of high-quality thermal coal can be increased by a certain amount, it is unlikely that the supply of high-quality thermal coal will be increased given the substantial increase in demand.
After repeatedly weighing the capital at hand, and after urgent discussions with Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen decided to start with the tanks that the Soviets needed most at the moment. From the U.S. aid tanks whose quantity and quality were unknown in the future, he decided to spend a certain amount of money on them.
The quotas were transferred to the Soviets and, where appropriate, it was agreed to increase the quotas for the production of small arms for the Soviet side.
Moreover, as long as the Soviets can guarantee to provide a batch of new combat aircraft, the Anti-Japanese Alliance can no longer ask for the batch of British Matilda II tanks that the Soviet Union used to pay the bills. However, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Armored Forces, it is not necessary to
To further weaken the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union should ensure the delivery of a number of German-made tanks to resist the alliance. As for other issues, we will wait until negotiations.
After making up his mind, Yang Zhen negotiated with the Central Committee and the Northeast Bureau, and with the approval of the Central Committee, quickly established a team with the Chairman of the Northeast People's Government as the leader, Li Yanping, the General Political Commissar of the Anti-Japanese Federation as the deputy leader, and an aviation force.
A delegation of deputy commanders, chiefs of staff, and deputies from each service and branch went to Moscow for negotiations.
The central government sent Mr. Lin, who had been treated in the Soviet Union, and the deputy chief of staff selected from Yan'an to preside over the negotiations as Chinese representatives. The central government's attitude was that the negotiations were still focused on the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and the representatives sent by the central government were mainly responsible for the negotiation.
Yang Zhen is solely responsible for the final decision on all matters.
After consultations with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union finally agreed to some of the requirements in the agreement. It could consider providing a batch of new Soviet-made fighter jets to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also proposed that the Anti-Japanese Alliance should use the US-aided P-39 fighter jets in the future.
All were handed over to the Soviet side who needed it more.
The Soviets have an almost perverted liking for this kind of fighter. Especially for the thirty-seven millimeter cannon equipped on this fighter, which can destroy tanks, they like it from the bottom of their hearts. Under this situation, the Americans
Every time a fighter jet of the same model was transported to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Soviets expressed their unacceptable attitude.
Now that the Anti-Japanese League has made this request, the Soviets just ignored it. Taking this opportunity, they used their own fighter jets with short legs and relatively single performance to get these P-39 fighter jets that are very popular among the troops. Although it requires
There was some price to pay, but compared to the aircraft they urgently needed, this price was still cost-effective for the Soviets.
At the same time, the Soviet Union was allowed to send engineers to conduct a detailed inspection of the heavy bombers transferred to the Anti-Japanese Alliance by the United States and Britain, especially the B-17 and B-24 bombers that the Soviets had been peeping at for a long time. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance could "gift" one to the Soviet Union
In the case of prototypes, the Soviet Union will provide some of the latest fighter jets.
As for American-made tanks, the Soviets requested an increase of 10% on the original ratio. However, the Soviets said that for the gap in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, if the trophies of German-made tanks could not meet the needs, the Soviets could consider using British-made tanks.
Tanks instead.
Regarding this series of Soviet demands, although he did not come to Moscow to participate in the negotiations in person, Yang Zhen, who was sitting in Harbin and was authorized by the chairman to participate in the negotiations, always had the final say. After careful consideration, he finally chose some
agree.
Soviet aviation experts can go to the base area to secretly inspect US-made heavy bombers. The Anti-Japanese Alliance can provide the required aircraft for detailed research by the Soviet side. But all research work must be conducted within China. And research on US-made heavy bombers is ongoing
When doing so, Chinese engineering and technical personnel must be involved.
On this issue, Yang Zhen gave a sufficient excuse. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance violates the agreement with the United States and Britain and transfers the aircraft directly to the Soviets. If once discovered by the Americans and British, the Anti-Union Alliance will not be able to obtain newer American-made bombers.
.This is a loss for both China and the Soviet Union, especially the Soviet Union, which will not have access to the latest bomber technology from the United States. Choosing the location of the research in China, even if it is discovered by the United States and Britain, is not without excuses.
.
As for the P-39 fighter jets, the Anti-Japanese Alliance can give all the four-three-year quota to the Soviet Union. But they hope that the Soviet Union can use them and like them. Moreover, in the extremely cold climate of the Soviet Union, it is difficult to maintain the American-made P-40 fighter jets.
Replace these American-made fighter jets that were very popular with the Soviets.
Of course, the Soviet Union is willing to provide new fighter jets made by itself, and the Anti-Japanese Alliance is also very welcome. Even if the Soviet Union is willing to transfer technology and assist in production, the Anti-Japanese Alliance can use the quota of US-aided aviation aluminum to manufacture a batch of them for the Soviet Union.
They still don't have to worry about the new fighter jets being produced.
After half a month of war of words, in Yang Zhen's words, after friendly negotiations between the Chinese and Soviet parties and militaries, the two sides signed a memorandum at the Soviet Far East Military District Headquarters. Both sides recognized the agreement signed some time ago.
, the aviation package agreement between the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Soviet Union continues to be effective. The two sides will continue to share each other's aviation technology throughout the war.
This agreement is a supplement to the agreement signed by the two militaries not long ago. According to this memorandum, the Soviets will provide the Anti-Japanese Alliance with 200 La5 fighter jets by the end of the year after mass production of two new fighter jets.
One hundred Yak-9 fighter jets. As for the supply of aircraft for 2043, negotiations will continue in the second half of the year.
However, the Soviets used the current huge consumption on the Soviet-German battlefield as an excuse to refuse to provide Yak-1 fighter jets and American-made P-40 fighter jets as new aircraft before mass production. However, considering the current urgent needs of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Soviet Union first started from the Pacific Ocean
From the fleet aviation force, 200 Lager III fighter jets produced in the latest batch were transferred to the Anti-Alliance side.
As a means of exchange, the Anti-Japanese Alliance will provide the Soviet Union with the American-made P-39 fighter jets that will be included in the total share of U.S. aid in 2043. In other words, when this American-made aircraft passes through the Soviet Union, the Soviets will
Keep it directly for your own use and will not transfer it to the Anti-League.
