Seeing Yang Zhen come out, Pearson, who was walking around like a donkey outside the conference room, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yang, some things have happened in the world recently, and I have to talk to you. I hope I can go to you 's office, this is not the appropriate place to talk."
Looking at Pearson who looked anxious, Yang Zhen nodded slightly knowingly and walked back to his office first. However, as usual, he asked Yuan Zhiruo to find Li Yanping. When he insisted on meeting, Yuan Zhiruo acted as The secretary must also be present.
Seeing that Yang Zhen agreed to his request, Pearson still cared about Yang Zhen's request and quickly nodded and followed. When the door of the office just closed, Pearson immediately walked to Yang Zhen and said: "Yang, Let me tell you some unfortunate news. On the 5th of last month, the Japanese army formed the Indochina Dispatch Force and began preparations to invade Indochina."
“On September 24, Japanese aircraft bombed the coastal defenses of French Indochina. On the 25th, despite serious protests from the French Indochina authorities, the Japanese army dispatched troops from the Fifth Division and occupied the important town of Hanoi in French Vietnam. and Haiphong. On September 22, the Japanese army forced the French governor of Indochina to sign an agreement allowing Japanese troops to station. On September 27, Japan formally signed treaties with Germany and Italy and participated in the "Commonwealth Agreement."
"That is to say, Japan has formally formed an alliance with Germany and Italy, the invaders on the European battlefield. In order to cut off your country's foreign aid channels, and at the same time coordinate the actions of its allies on the European battlefield, it is also to obtain the strategic information it desperately lacks. resources, the Japanese army’s next strategic attempt is likely to be to occupy the entire French Indochina.”
Hearing that Pearson was eager to find his own reasons, Yang Zhen, who had been busy directing operations but ignored the changes in the international situation, couldn't help but feel a little funny. Japan and China have been fighting for more than ten years, and the fighting can be said to be a river of blood. I have never seen you Americans so anxious.
Now that the Japanese have occupied Vietnam, the combat radius of their bombers can threaten the Philippines. Their troops are directed at the Dutch East Indies, which are rich in strategic resources, especially oil, tin, and rubber. They seriously threaten your strategic interests. You guys can't hold your breath anymore.
Seeing the development of the incident, it was exactly as he expected when he made the bet with Pearson. Although Yang Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was quite shocked on the surface and said: "Major Pearson, I really have no idea. To think that the Japanese would be so audacious and dare to chase the European powers in order to cut off our foreign aid channels."
"In view of the current situation, Major Pearson, as an old friend, I have to remind you. The Japanese may really have responded to your words. I am afraid that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended to target Pei Gong. Its intention is definitely not It’s just to cut off our country’s foreign aid channels.”
"I have warned you more than once about the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese army. But you don't care. Also, the United States is thousands of kilometers away from Japan in the entire Pacific Ocean, and the United States has a powerful navy and aviation force. There is no need at all. Worried about Japan attacking the U.S. mainland."
"In addition, you Americans are the richest owners in the world. The whole world is at war now, which means that all countries in the world are asking for something from you. I guess no one dares to go there without opening their eyes. Touch your tiger’s butt. Unless he doesn’t want money or supplies anymore.”
"But Major Pearson, as a friend, I have to remind you. With the emergence of naval aircraft carriers and strategic aviation, no country on this earth can guarantee that it will not be bombed. So, you and your motherland must be careful next , don’t let my words come true. Brother Pearson, you are now in danger of losing this bet.”
In response to Yang Zhen's ridicule, Pearson slowly shook his head and said: "Yang, now is not the time to joke. I just received a telegram from the United States from the U.S. Embassy. I was entrusted by the U.S. Embassy to tell you this. , just last week, the U.S. government has officially decided to accept your arms order and at the same time provide you with a batch of combat aircraft at a preferential price."
"In order to prevent the Japanese army from expanding its aggressive ambitions again, the U.S. government has decided to transfer all the 180 A-20 attack aircraft originally sold to the French government and intended to be handed over to the British government after France's defeat to you. And This batch of attack aircraft will be transferred together with the 200 P-40 fighter jets that the French government ordered at the same time and have not yet been delivered."
"At the same time, the U.S. government has decided to sell you another 125 P-39 fighter jets used by the U.S. Army as reserves at a total price of 100,000 U.S. dollars. If you need it, the U.S. government will continue to provide you with preferential prices. For sale P-40 fighter or P-39 fighter."
"If you accept it, the U.S. government will also transfer a batch of second-hand P-40B fighter jets from the U.S. Army and sell you 200 of them at a preferential price of two thousand dollars each. Yang, I can take responsibility. Let me tell you, these P-40 fighter jets are all new aircraft that the US Army just equipped last year."
"They are said to be second-hand goods, but in fact many of them are still stored at the U.S. Army airport and have not had time to be opened. Moreover, the U.S. government has decided to sell you 60 C-46 and 47 transport aircraft with preferential loans and keep 100 You will not have to pay a penny for all the aircraft, and they will all be loaned by the U.S. government."
"At the same time, the U.S. government has also decided to provide you with another $20 million in loans before the end of the year. However, this loan will be offset in the form of supplies. This includes trucks and accessories worth $5 million, and oil worth $3 million. .The remainder will cover the cost of your order of rifles and ammunition in the United States."
"Yang, the U.S. government asked me to tell you that the U.S. government will go all out to ensure that it will provide the so-called automatic rifles you ordered and 200 million rounds of so-called intermediate rifles in accordance with your quality requirements before the end of the year. type bullets. Although neither I nor the top brass of the U.S. Army can figure out why you want to develop such shortened bullets."
"If you are not satisfied with the power of Japanese or German caliber small arms ammunition, the U.S. government can transfer to you the .30 rifle ammunition currently used by the U.S. Army, as well as the production technology of the complete set of weapons required. Springfield rifle, Bo We can transfer production technology for Ronning's light and heavy machine guns."
"The performance of these types of light weapons is very good, which can completely make up for the lack of lethality of Japanese weapons. The accuracy is almost the same as that of Japanese rifles, which always attach great importance to the shooting accuracy of weapons. I really don't understand why you want to produce them. This shortened Soviet-style bullet? However, since you insist, we will try our best to meet your needs."
"Yang, the U.S. government yesterday, despite the protests of your Nationalist government, officially invited your representative to the United States to sign an agreement. The first batch of these aircraft has now begun to be loaded onto the ship. At the same time, there are also a batch of American flights. Instructors. But they came to China as civilians. The transit fees for this batch of weapons and equipment in the Soviet Union were all borne by the U.S. government."
"In order to transport this batch of aircraft that you urgently need now, the U.S. government has temporarily stopped the shipment of the second batch of machinery and equipment. We will arrange transportation after the transport of this batch of aircraft is completed. However, the arrival time of all this batch of machinery and equipment will be postponed for two days. At the same time, in view of your request, the U.S. government has decided that after this batch of supplies is completed, if you insist, it will contact you at an appropriate time to transfer the technology of the P-39 fighter jet.",
"Except for the rifles you designed yourself, most of this equipment was transferred to you after coordination between the U.S. government and the Kingdom of Great Britain. Because according to the agreement between the U.S. government and Great Britain, they have priority in obtaining U.S. military equipment. In order to convince the difficult Prime Minister of Great Britain, President Roosevelt personally did a lot of work."
Having said this, Pearson paused for a moment and then said: "In a month, the US government will have five special planes that will secretly fly to Yan'an via Chongqing in the name of transporting some pharmaceutical equipment to you. These five special planes There are two air defense radars secretly provided to you by the U.S. government, as well as several American experts. Their duty is to teach you how to maintain and use this new equipment."
"Yang, radar is a new type of equipment developed by the United States. It can detect incoming enemy aircraft dozens of miles away. It can greatly effectively improve your air defense capabilities. This kind of weapon is only available in the United States of America and Great Britain in the world today. The Empire has entered into actual combat."
"However, the American instructors are only responsible for teaching you how to use these two radars in the Yan'an area. As for how to transport them back to the Northeast, it is up to you. But there is one thing I hope you can understand. That is that the US government does not want the Russians to master these radars. A batch of equipment. And I and my subordinates will monitor the use of this batch of equipment at any time."
"Yang, you must ensure that this kind of equipment will never fall into the hands of Soviet Russia. Because in the eyes of Americans, they are no different from Hitler and the Emperor of Japan. If once the American people learn about this new technology, If the equipment falls into the hands of the Soviets, it will affect the U.S. government's next support for you."
The Americans were actually willing to provide hundreds of aircraft and their most urgently needed military transport aircraft at once, and provide full loans. Moreover, the amazingly preferential price made Yang Zhen very excited. He bought more than 100 aircraft for 100,000 US dollars. The 39 fighter jets cost two thousand dollars each to purchase in batches of 200, almost brand new, second-hand P-40 fighter jets. This price is almost like giving them free money.
For these more than 300 aircraft, I only need to pay US$210,000, and it is in the form of a loan. There are also those A-20 attack aircraft, P-40 fighter jets, and loans that the Americans generously provided to the French. Sixty transport planes were sold in the name. What's even more rare is that the Americans are willing to pay for the travel.
For Yang Zhen, it was such a huge good thing, so why should he be pretentious? As for Major Pearson conveying the good intentions of the US government, Yang Zhen naturally accepted all comers. Compared with the most difficult time after next year, Yang Zhen knew that this was probably the most difficult time after next year. Before the outbreak of the Pacific War and after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, he received the last batch of American aid.
