However, after discussions with the central government and the United States, Yang Zhen used the reserves in Macau to purchase two additional passenger and two cargo models from the Americans. Based on this, he secretly entered into a secret agreement with the American Douglas Company
After negotiation, all the drawings and manufacturing technology of the passenger model of this aircraft, DC-4, were purchased with US$150,000 to avoid US supervision. In the name of opening routes, the aircraft was purchased.
Douglas Company, which had not thought about the future development trend of aviation and the manufacturing capabilities of the Anti-Union aviation, was extremely contemptuous. After the Anti-Union promised not to transfer the drawings of this aircraft to the Soviets, they readily agreed to sell all DC-4 aircraft.
drawing.
However, although the contract has been reached, Yang Zhen has always been a little worried. Although the FBI, the United States's domestic anti-Special Bureau, is not as large and pervasive as it would be a few years ago. But now the United States, a huge domestic intelligence agency, has expanded.
The speed is also quite fast.
Moreover, we are currently under wartime technology control in the United States. Once the Americans discover this transaction, I am afraid that these drawings will be directly seized. Yang Zhen knows very well that the Americans have never considered themselves to be real
Allies. Everyone is well aware of the purpose of using each other during war, but no one has said it out loud.
Once the U.S. intelligence agency discovers this transaction, they will seize it without any hesitation. After these drawings arrived in the Northeast hidden in equipment shipped to the Anti-Japanese Alliance in early 1945, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
This batch of drawings also arrived at the same time as three Boeing 307 aircraft and all the drawings of this aircraft.
What Yang Zhen values is not the Boeing 307 aircraft, but what he values more is that this aircraft is the first passenger aircraft in the world equipped with a pressurized cabin that can fly at high altitudes. Pressurized cabins are still a new technology.
, nothing can be seen yet, but Yang Zhen clearly knows the role of this technology in civil and military aviation after World War II.
It just so happens that this absolutely epoch-making aircraft of Boeing was not able to achieve the sales results that Boeing wanted because it coincided with World War II at the wrong time. In addition, Boeing is currently fully engaged in the development of the B-29 bomber.
R&D and production have no energy to improve this aircraft.
At this time, Yang Zhen proposed to purchase three Boeing 307 passenger aircraft in stock from Boeing Company, and purchased all the drawings and technical data. Boeing Company followed suit and packaged these three aircraft, plus all the aircraft, for US$300,000.
The drawings and information were sold to the Anti-League.
At least on the surface, the Anti-Japanese Alliance is an ally of the Americans rather than an enemy. Selling this kind of civilian aircraft technology to the Anti-Japanese Alliance does not violate US wartime technology control regulations. Besides, no one knows how this war can be fought.
The war lasts until the year of the monkey. Maybe by the time the war is over, this kind of aircraft will be obsolete.
Rather than throwing it all away, it is better to use the technology of this aircraft in exchange for part of the funds and invest in the development of new aircraft models. According to the information Boeing has, their main rival Douglas is also developing new passenger aircraft models. Although b
The Twenty-nine bomber has made Boeing enough profits, but who thinks it’s too little money?
In addition, Boeing believes that the Chinese, who lack technical support, will have difficulty producing this kind of aircraft even if they obtain the data about this aircraft. Even if it sells the data to them, it will not create a new rival for itself.
When the anti-alliance personnel secretly contacted Boeing, Boeing readily agreed to sell all its technology.
However, Boeing proposed that it could sell the drawings of this aircraft, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance must also purchase three aircraft of the same model that were originally produced by the company, but before they could be delivered to customers, the contract was canceled due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, and
The fixed price is US$300,000 with no counter-offer.
Boeing's attitude is very clear. The pre-war ex-factory price of this aircraft was US$310,000. Although these aircraft have been in Boeing warehouses for three years, they are still brand new. Boeing's price reduction is almost free.
The price given to the Chinese is already very generous.
Yang Zhen also readily agreed to Boeing's request. However, he asked Boeing to transfer several technicians from the Boeing 307 project to assist the Anti-League in developing and manufacturing this civilian airliner. All costs will be paid by the Chinese side.
.Boeing readily agreed to Yang Zhen’s request.
Three of the four DC-4 aircraft purchased were handed over to the aviation force and converted into special aircraft after all the seats were removed. The remaining cargo model was left in the Northeast and handed over to the Equipment Department, which specializes in handling large equipment.
Air transportation was carried out to avoid the leakage of many top-secret items. Two of the three Boeing 307 aircraft were handed over to the central government, and one was given to the Soviets to pay off debts.
However, despite obtaining information on the new transport aircraft, the Soviets, including Yang Zhen himself, had not made any progress in the technology of the B-29 bomber that they had been peeping at for a long time. They only took advantage of the opportunity to control the entire North Mandu from the United States.
Two of these bombers were obtained from bombers that crashed due to combat damage, using the Wright R 3350 engine.
Although during the U.S. bombing campaign against Japan, the Soviets also dispatched Pacific Fleet ships in the name of cooperating in rescuing U.S. pilots. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese navy had no time to take care of the defense of the Sea of Japan, they patrolled the routes of the U.S. bomber group in an attempt to
After the U.S. military returned and was damaged in the battle, it failed to reach Northern Manchuria and got something from the U.S. military aircraft that crashed in the Sea of Japan.
But without being able to get too close to the Japanese mainland, apart from a few parachuting Anti-Japanese and U.S. military pilots who fished it up accidentally, they basically found nothing. Once this rather heavy aircraft crashes into the sea, it will basically be destroyed.
It sank to the bottom of the sea, leaving little opportunity for the Soviets to take action. The Soviets, who worked hard for a long time, only got one engine that was handed over to the Anti-Japanese War.
However, Yang Zhen did not tell the truth to the Soviets about this matter. He not only obtained these two engines, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance also took advantage of the U.S. bomber that was injured over Japan and crashed in North Manchuria.
. Obtained the latest US military bomber navigation system, as well as an AN-13 bombing radar and a complete electronic countermeasures system.
As the number of U.S. military-damaged aircraft increased, they also successively acquired automatic aiming equipment for airborne artillery. Although the U.S. military moved very quickly, as long as the bombers crashed within the territory of the Resistance Alliance, they would send personnel to blow them up completely to prevent the technology from leaking.
Not even a single body was left behind. But no matter how fast their movements were, how could they catch up with the Landlord's Anti-Union Express?
In particular, several American bombers that made an emergency landing at the Anti-Japanese Alliance airport were taken back by the US military as soon as possible, but they were also touched inside and outside by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Complete aircraft were not available, and they were all over eastern Heilongjiang.
It is still possible to get some things you want from the wreckage of an American plane.
It was not until the end of 1944 that the Anti-Japanese Alliance obtained a nearly complete U.S. B-29 bomber in the Changbai Mountains. After it made an emergency landing because all the crew members died, the Americans never found it. This satisfied the Soviets and wanted to get it.
The idea of a B-twenty-nine bomber.
While the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the US military were intensifying their air strikes against Japan, the Japanese troops deployed to the Korean Peninsula and Southern Manchuria, as well as the local bombing aviation, were also constantly adopting small formation tactics in an attempt to sneak attack on the industrial areas in North Manchuria and the Anti-Union forces.
The airports attacked by Japanese air raids, especially the several airports where the US military was stationed, became the key targets of the Kwantung Army.
At least half of the bomber groups dispatched by the Japanese army came to the US military airports. For the Japanese, these bombers with ultra-long range and bomb load posed a real threat to the homeland.
They are too big. Since they can't be solved in the air, then we have to find a way to solve them on the ground.
It's just that the Japanese sneak attack lacked fighter escort and the strict defense of the US military and the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and basically didn't even touch the edge of the US military airport. After the US heavy bomber group stationed in Northern Manchuria, the Americans provided radar to the Anti-Alliance.
He is much more generous.
In particular, the U.S. military provides the latest scr 584 air defense radar, which has a performance exceeding the original scr 602 radar, which greatly improves the anti-joint mobile air defense combat capability. The performance of the scr 207 radar also far exceeds that previously provided
Scr 268 radar. Coupled with the interception of P 61 night fighters, the Japanese army participated in the bomber group and suffered extremely heavy losses.
Whether it is the Type 99 light bomber, the Type 97 and Type 100 bombers, or even the latest Type 4 bomber group, they not only basically returned without success, but also suffered heavy losses due to interception. Especially the ones transferred to Southern Manchuria.
Most of the bomber group was destroyed at the airport on the Liaodong Peninsula before it could be put into use.
The only one that broke into the Anti-Alliance base area was the Japanese Army Air Force taking off from the mainland, with a group of 17 Type 100 bombers and 31 Type 4 bombers. Following the returning US bomber group, they tried to use sneak attacks to attack the enemy.
These US B-29 bombers were destroyed on the ground.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the Anti-League base, he would be discovered by the Anti-League's original 268 radar. Then the scr 584 radar would accurately lock the location. Because the Japanese did not know that all the Anti-League
Both US and US bombers were equipped with airborne radar transponders. The sneak attack bomber groups sent by the Japanese army did not have such identification tools at all.
After the U.S. bombers began to land one after another, the Japanese bombers following behind the U.S. Army did not know that the U.S. and Anti-Alliance bombers were equipped with equipment that could clearly identify whether the aircraft in the sky were our own or the enemy's.
A group of Japanese bombers with airborne radar transponders.
Because there was no answer to the ground radar signal, the Anti-Japanese Alliance's radar network had already discovered this group of strange visitors as soon as they approached the mouth of the Tumen River from the Sea of Japan. But after Chen Long, who was personally stationed at the radar station,
Upon request, they did not issue an alarm prematurely, but waited until the Japanese bombers passed the Tumen River Estuary and entered the Anti-Alliance base before issuing an alarm to the US military.
What a joke, if this air battle was fought over the Sea of Japan, how would he have the chance to get even the wreckage of a US military fighter jet to complete the mission personally assigned by No. 1? What if the plane fell into the sea?
What's going on inside with the lack of divers?
Since the arrival of this US military fighter jet in Northeast China, Chen Long and the aviation force have been planning to find the fighter jet. However, the US military has been looking too closely, and the opportunity has never been found. Although Yang Zhen did not set a deadline, he knew what the No. 1 wanted.
Chen Long was definitely not an ordinary person, but he pushed himself very hard.
He even thought about looking for an opportunity to use the opportunity of a night patrol with the US military to knock down a US fighter jet in the name of an accidental collision. In order to obtain the aircraft requested by No. 1,
It contains radar and the aircraft's driving equipment. Chen Long, who pushed himself too hastily, has resorted to unscrupulous means in order to complete the mission.
