Chapter 460: A Solid Foundation

Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "Lao Li, you sent a telegram to the central government. In addition to reporting the preliminary content of our negotiations, you also want to ask for instructions on two things. ['. One, we will directly send overseas students.

, I’m afraid the Americans will not agree. Even if they agree, the latest technological fields such as aerodynamics, aviation, high-energy physics and metal materials will not allow us to enter.”

"Please consider whether the central party can secretly select the underground party in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and adopt the study abroad system based on the Boxer Indemnity to avoid interference from other parties. We will try our best to facilitate this matter, and we will also try to choose some of the latest scientific and technological fields for negotiation, but I

I think that in addition to these, we should focus more on other majors such as shipbuilding, electronics, machinery, communications, etc.

"In addition, if the United States agrees to our selection of international students, we suggest that the selection within the Guanhai area and the local selection in the Northeast should be separated. Students sent to the United States should be mainly selected through the selection within the Guanhai area. Due to geographical factors, the Northeast is recommended to mainly select foreign students from the Soviet Union.

.”

"In addition, the talents selected within the customs should try their best to complete undergraduate studies at home. Those who go to the United States should mainly pursue master's and doctoral education and participate in various equipment development activities to increase their practical experience. The Northeast locals should rely on their

Due to geographical advantages, we mainly select international undergraduate students who have completed twelve years of education. The two complement each other and adopt a two-legged approach to complete basic university subjects and the training of more advanced talents."

"In addition, our Northeast Bureau and Jidong Military Region are preparing to establish the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Military Polytechnic University based on this year's graduates and lecturers mobilized by the Central Committee to the Northeast to train a group of military talents for our army. I hope that the Central Committee can start from staying in the Northeast.

Private and church universities in occupied areas mobilized a group of students and lecturers to come to the Northeast."

"Especially Yanjing, Fu Jen, St. John's, Hujiang and other well-known universities in science and engineering. If possible, I hope that all science and engineering graduates from these universities this year or last year will be mobilized to come to Northeast China. If there are any previous graduates

Students who have stayed in occupied areas and have not acted as traitors can also consider trying their best to recruit talents to create a good talent base for our army to develop its own military industry."

"In addition, due to the relocation, merger and bankruptcy of arsenals and various raw material factories in Kuomintang-controlled areas, a considerable number of workers have been displaced to occupied areas and have lost their jobs. Only half of the more than ten steel-making companies in Chongqing have closed down or are close to closing down. Please ask the central government

When the National Government's military industrial enterprises in Chongqing and the enemy-occupied areas relocated inland, we should try our best to mobilize a group of unemployed skilled workers among the unemployed workers who did not follow the inward migration due to various reasons and transfer them to the Northeast to enrich our military industry production capacity."

"The main ones should be steelmaking, chemical industry, and mechanical workers, with the focus on Chongqing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. In addition, if our Polytechnic University is established, can we entrust the central government to secretly recruit students in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and occupied areas? If the central government approves, we will recruit students

All students are subject to the supply system, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of by the military region. This is the key to the establishment and development of our own defense industry. I hope the central government will think twice."

Having said this, Yang Zhen thought for a moment and then said: "One more thing, only by relying on our own efforts and not placing our hopes on others can we build a strong national defense industry of our own. And rely on our own

The power will completely defeat the Japanese imperialist ambition to invade and occupy China. Pies in the sky will not fall, and even if they do, they will not fall on our heads."

After dictating the telegram, Yang Zhen picked up the telegram recorded by Yuan Zhiruo and read the contents. Without saying a word, he signed his name on the telegram. He also marked five triangle symbols heavily with a pen on one corner of the telegram.

, indicating the importance of the telegram and the difference from ordinary urgent telegrams.

According to the central government's regulations on the level of telegrams for communicating with the Northeast, these five triangular signs need to be opened by the chairman himself. In other words, these telegrams are different from those generally sent to the Military Commission. They are all sent directly to the chairman.

Yes, only the chairman has the authority to give instructions.

Yang Zhen didn't know that his two requests for instructions today were combined with the implementation of all free compulsory education and the selection of a large number of science and engineering students from the Soviet Union. These actions would be praised by later generations as laying the foundation for China's own defense industry and science.

Four major measures for technological foundation.

Through this negotiation, Yang Zhen spent all his money and invested almost all the foreign exchange obtained this time. Later, he used several new weapons and US dollars in cash to introduce the Soviet-made T-26 tanks, BT-7 tank production lines and

During the Pacific War, the U.S. aided a variety of machinery and equipment in exchange for a huge defense industry system.

Relying on these equipment, China established the first real aircraft manufacturing plant, the first steel plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons, and the first automobile manufacturing plant with an annual output of 30,000 trucks for China with a weak industrial base.

, the first large-scale tank manufacturing plant. In addition, there are the first large-scale synthetic smelting plant, the first large-scale large engine factory that can produce diesel and gasoline engines, the first large-scale chemical complex and the first large-scale

Radio manufacturing plant for a range of defense industries.

In addition, after the improvement of the original foundation, one year's ammunition production exceeded the total production of the major arsenals under the National Government in Guan within the eight years of the War of Resistance. It can produce everything from pistols and bayonets to various light and heavy artillery, mortars, anti-aircraft guns, etc. All the army needs

Weapons and equipment, and can basically be self-sufficient in all light and heavy artillery, are two large arsenals.

Together with these factories, they produced 100% of the explosives, 100% of the ammunition, equipment, 100% of the radio communications and detection equipment, 100% of the new equipment, 60% of the cars, 57% of the steel and 100% of the automobiles, 100% of the steel and 100% of the new equipment needed to sustain the subsequent war.

47/40 aircraft.

By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, together with the captured aircraft, automobiles, and steel industries left by Japan in Northeast China, the entire Northeast China had become a veritable production center for metallurgy, chemicals, equipment manufacturing, automobiles, defense industries, and energy in the country.

Base. Northeast China did not have the situation in later history that it was looted and looted at the end of World War II.

Although the trucks produced were just imitation American Studebaker three-ton and IWC five-ton trucks, the tanks were first Soviet-made T-26, BT-7 and other light tanks, and later they were produced through material exchange after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war.

Drawings of the early Soviet-made T-34 tank, imitation of the 76mm T-34 tank.

The aircraft were just imitations of the American P-39 fighter jets, then the A-20 attack aircraft, the B-25 bombers and the TBD dive bombers, and finally the B-24 bombers and the C-46 transport aircraft. These aircraft

Coupled with the assistance provided by the United States and Britain, Yang Zhen had a large-scale air force in the second year after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

Although before the B-25 and B-24 bombers that could carry out strategic bombing against Japan were produced in 1942, Yang Zhen's air force was only a tactical air force at best. But this tactical air force was

Two years later, 70% of the Japanese Army Air Force was contained.

The heavy artillery is only the Japanese 105 cannon, howitzer and Japanese 96 type 150 howitzer, which are copied based on the captured objects and reverse mapping. As well as the 120 heavy mortar, fifty-seven and eight, which were produced using Soviet drawings.

Fifteen mm anti-aircraft gun, American 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun.

Although these equipment are not that advanced, especially in terms of fighter jets, they are still lagging behind the new fighter jets equipped by the US military. During the five-year cooperation between the two parties, the Americans have always refused to transfer the latest aviation technology, even in

After Yang Zhen's department had its own production capabilities, it was not even willing to provide physical machines.

For example, the United States will not transfer the American P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunder fighter, P-38 fighter and B-29 bomber under any circumstances. It is only willing to provide P-39 fighter and P-40 fighter.

, these two types of equipment that the US military was unwilling to equip and had been eliminated in the middle of the war, as well as the B-25 medium bomber.

Even the production technology of the B-24 large bomber that was later transferred through technology exchange and strategic needs, many reservations were made. That is, only the airframe production technology was transferred, but the bomber was never provided with the precise targeting Norton bombing technology.

Sight.

However, the technology for providing engines was also very slow. The aircraft factory to which Yang Zhen belonged was able to produce the body of the B-24 bomber on its own in 1942, but it could only use engines aided by the United States. Until April 2,

At the end of the year, due to the need for strategic bombing of Japan, the United States began to transfer the 1,200-horsepower engine production technology it used.

Although the United States also carried out strategic bombing against Japan and used several airports in Yang Zhen's control area as alternate airports for B-29 bombers, it has always refused to provide B-29 bombers to Yang Zhen's command. That is, the company

There are no bombers with such long range and large bomb load on the assisting aircraft.

On the contrary, the British were very generous. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, they not only provided thousands of Hurricane fighter jets from North Africa, India and China, but also provided more than 500 hurricane fighter jets in Lancaster and Halifax.

After the two large bombers entered service, the Stirling bomber and the Wellington bomber took a back seat.

Seeing the British provide these second-hand aircraft that were not as good as the new Japanese aircraft, Yang Zhen couldn't help but accept it. In any case, they were all for nothing, especially those Stirling bombers and Wheelings.

The Dayton bomber, before the B-24 bomber was mass-produced, became the main force in strategic bombing against Japan.

Although the Hurricane fighter jets were no match for the Type 1 fighter jets later invested by the Japanese army, they were still competent as attack aircraft for ground attack and bombing. The British Army, Stirling and Wellington, had already begun to phase out the fighter jets.

Bombers are always better than nothing, aren't they? At least they have enough range for bombing Japan. Although the United States and the United Kingdom have always retained their say in the types and quality of aircraft they provide, and they always have their own calculations when transferring technology.

But it was these imitations that enabled China to initially form its own tank, aircraft, and automobile manufacturing industries. By the end of the war, even after the war, we saw the Chinese using production lines transferred from the United States, and the quality of the products they produced was not inferior to that of the United States.

When producing aircraft, Americans couldn't help but exclaim that the Chinese's ability to imitate is almost the best in the world.

Although these aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery and cars were all imitations, and many of them were quickly eliminated in the subsequent Soviet-German War and the Pacific War. But after all, the problem of whether or not was solved first, and the issue of troop equipment was also solved.

It also laid a solid foundation for subsequent development. Moreover, most of these aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and anti-aircraft guns were the standard equipment of the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain during World War II for a long time.
