Regarding Kovalev's defense of the Soviet Union's breach of contract, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "I don't want to pursue the past matters anymore, and we can't pursue anything now. That's the end of the past, let's not mention it anymore.
, bringing it up again will hurt the friendship between us."
"You don't have the spirit of joining hands with proletarians all over the world as sung in the Internationale. Your Soviet side is also realistic. Even compared to you in some aspects, we are just stupid and naive people. Despite this
Friendship is not as good as we imagined, but we still cherish it."
"After all, you are the only ones who helped us when we were in the most difficult time. Even if we don't look at the monk's face, we still have to look at the Buddha's face. I just hope that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. Even if business is business, but
You have to have some character, right?"
"Since you have proposed such a generous condition, it would be too much for me not to appreciate it. I think this exchange condition you proposed can be settled as it is. We can accept this batch of German-made aircraft, but you must ensure that the parts
The great Soviet Union is already in sight of victory in this war. As you advance towards Germany, I think more and more German equipment will fall into your hands."
"I hope you can fulfill your promise and transfer aircraft to us as quickly as possible. Especially the La5fn fighter jets, I hope you can deliver them in advance. If the Soviet army can, I hope the number will be doubled.
Fan. We can take all the US-aided P-39 fighter jets and replace them one by one."
"As a senior officer, you should understand that pilots still need a certain period of conversion training before these new fighter jets can go on the battlefield. We will also have a large-scale offensive in the second half of the year, and we need time to prepare. You must also remember
It should be the FN type, not other old models. If the Soviet Union is willing to provide Yak-3 fighter jets, then it will be an even better thing for us."
"As for the B-29 bomber technology you want, we can only do our best. The Americans have very strict control over this new bomber, and our people cannot easily enter their airports. We can only
We can wait for the opportunity to take action. But it will take time for us to find this opportunity."
"If you are anxious, then we have no choice but to ask you to hire someone else. Let me remind you that you can't eat hot tofu if you are anxious. Don't forget that when you copied the blueprints of the B-24 bomber, the Americans
To the extent of our precautions, all production drawings are absolutely not allowed to leave the workshop."
"No Soviets were allowed to be present at the entire site, and even our technical staff were not allowed to have access to the drawings. We spent a lot of money and time on both sides to obtain these drawings. If you are too eager on this matter, we will not be able to do it.
If it's good, it will be like a chicken flying into an egg."
"However, since you have opened this window for German-made aircraft, I don't just want this batch. I want to compare the German-made aircraft with tanks, artillery and light weapons. From now to March 45,
, all your captured transport aircraft and fighter jets, including all their spare parts, must be handed over to us."
"This includes the ammunition used, because we currently do not have the energy to produce airborne weapons and ammunition for the extra calibers. As for the conditions, you can put forward them, and we will try our best to satisfy you. Of course, this condition must be based on what we can
Whatever we can bear, we can only give up if we really can't bear it. There is no other way, who makes us poor and short-minded?"
"Also, I know that the British have handed you nearly a thousand Spitfires one after another during this period. And your air force and air defense force have very narrow landing gears for this kind of aircraft, which is not suitable for use at your airport.
The fighter jets were very disdainful. They were all thrown behind the rear and used as inland air defense."
"As the front moves westward, you have almost driven out of the country. Moreover, the Luftwaffe, which has to face attacks from both sides and does not have long legs, is basically impossible to pose a threat to your rear. At the peak of the Luftwaffe,
, failed to cause much damage to your industrial zone."
"As for the German Air Force, which has been basically driven out of the mainland by you, it will not pose any threat to your rear. These Spitfire fighter jets are basically idle behind you. A variety of new fighter jets of yours have begun to arrive one after another.
After being put into mass production, these British-made fighter jets are basically gone.”
"Can you select a batch of high-altitude models that can undertake air defense missions from the fighter jets provided to you by the UK, and transfer them to us along with spare engines and spare parts? We can supply the entire 44-year supply of P-39 fighter jets
All quotas will be handed over to you."
Yang Zhen's answer made Kovalev let out a long breath. They saw this opportunity and offered to use the seized second-hand goods to lure Yang Zhen into agreeing to cooperate with them to obtain the latest American bomber technology.
.Since Yang Zhen agreed, then there would be no problems with this agreement, and he could submit a report to Moscow.
However, regarding Yang Zhen's question about the Spitfire fighter jets that needed British assistance and the subsequent submission of spoils, Kovalev said that Moscow needs to be consulted. This time he came to see Yang Zhen and was not authorized to discuss this issue. He can help China
Comrades strive for it, but whether Moscow can agree to it depends on how Moscow makes its determination.
As for the outcome, he had no control over it. The only thing he could do was to urge Moscow to agree to the agreement. Before bidding farewell, Kovalev also told Yang Zhen tactfully that the commander of the Far East Military Region, General Abanashenk, had already
He was transferred from the Far Eastern Military District and was killed in action in August 1943 while serving as deputy commander of the Voronezh Front.
Marshal Shaposhnikov also left the post of Chief of General Staff due to physical reasons. General Vasilevsky is currently busy fighting on the Western Front and is unable to take care of the Far East at the moment. Now the newly appointed Purkayev
The general did not attach much importance to his relationship with the Anti-Japanese Alliance and was not very interested in it.
Although Marshal Shaposhnikov Kovalev, as an old friend, still advised Yang Zhen to restrain his temper and not to get too stiff with General Purkaev. At this time, all the people who could be sent to the Far East were
The Supreme Commander's most trusted person. Although there is no longer any risk of Japanese invasion in the Far East.
However, as the production base for soldiers and equipment on the Western Front, the Far East region's overall strategic position in the Soviet Union was not affected by any impact. General Purkayev was able to be sent to the Far East Military District at this time without delaying his promotion in military rank.
It is enough to illustrate his status in the heart of the supreme commander.
General Purkaev has served as the chief of staff of the Grand Military District since 1938. He once served as the chief of staff of the Belarusian Special Military District and the Kiev Special Military District on the Western Front. During the Battle of Kiev, he was the only one in the entire Southwest Front that could survive the heavy encirclement of the German army.
Among them, the leader who breaks out.
Long-term staff work has developed his rich military experience, as well as the habit of careful thinking, and he can consider problems quite comprehensively. However, compared with General Abanaschenko, Covalho is slightly less courageous because of his background.
My husband hoped that Yang Zhen could have a good relationship with the commander of the Far East Military Region. After all, he had worked on the Western Front for a long time and did not know much about the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
In many things, Yang Zhen should not be too aggressive. The Soviet Union, which has launched a full-scale counterattack, needs stability in the East most and cannot make any mistakes. Therefore, there are some things that Yang Zhen, as the person in charge of China, should
Think more carefully so as not to arouse the resentment of the new commander of the Far East Military Region.
After Kovalev left, Yang Zhen thought about the latest proposal put forward by the Soviets, and immediately understood why the Soviets had delayed the delivery of the latest La-5 FN fighter jets in the second half of the year. They were forcing
Make sure you start early and get what they need in the shortest possible time.
As for Kovalev’s reminders before leaving, Yang Zhen did not pay attention. Even the original commander of the Far East Military Region, Abana Shenk, could not decide with full authority on the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The relationship between the two armies
All decisions during the period are made and implemented by Moscow.
Yang Zhen really hadn't paid too much attention to General Purkaev, who was always very cautious, including when it came to contact with Chinese comrades. He always felt that this guy lacked something in terms of temperament. But since science
Valev reminded him of this, so he had better pay more attention to it.
Because of many things, the tables turned on the executors below. This is the saying that the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Although General Purkaev himself has not had much contact and understanding, this guy is very knowledgeable on many issues.
, is not as courageous as his predecessor. He is also quite lacking in independent thinking. Everything can be said to be following Moscow's lead.
This is also a common problem among senior generals of the Soviet army after the Great Purge. Military commanders with personalities like Timoshenko, Zhukov, and Abanashenk are now rare in the Soviet army. Even if there are, they are rare.
At this time, he will be sent to the Far East Military Region, a direction that no longer poses any threat to the military.
Compared with the Far East, which now has no worries, the Western Front, which is making an all-out counterattack, needs them more. At this time, the supreme commander of the Soviet army will not send them to the Far East Military Region. But Yang Zhen also felt this
General Purkaev is definitely not as friendly as he seems on the surface.
At this time, who can be entrusted with the important task by the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Union and sent to the Far East, the base of Soviet soldiers and equipment, who is a good person? This war is a big wave, and those who take advantage of the opportunity of the great purge are sitting there.
Those who go up to the rocket without real talent and knowledge will have been eliminated in the cruel war long ago.
Either they were wiped out by their enemies, or they were sent to the execution ground by their own people. The supreme commander of the Soviet army would never be merciful when dealing with defeated generals. Now these Soviet troops in high positions, especially the ones in charge
No senior general is mediocre. General Purkaev is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface.
It’s just that Yang Zhen thinks that the Soviets are a little anxious about asking the Anti-Japanese Alliance to assist them in obtaining B-29 bomber technology. Opportunities need to be found, and being too eager will only be counterproductive. Especially from the obvious
The Soviets were very wary, but they were also worried about the Americans who seemed to be very close to the Soviets. It would take time and patience to get their most advanced things from the Americans.
Although Yang Zhen already has some ideas on how to get this latest bomber from the Americans. However, before this idea becomes a mature plan, it still needs careful consideration. He doesn’t want to start trouble with the Americans just yet.
Yang Zhen, who was upset, obviously did not want to give the Soviets who were eager for him to fall out with them a chance to benefit.
