Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh real Americans
Yang Zhen naturally knew the reason why the Americans were so generous. This was the Japanese occupation of French Indochina. Their aggressive expansion momentum obviously made the Americans anxious. Even a fool could see it. Although the Japanese At present, it has only occupied northern Vietnam where the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway line is located. But in fact, a nail has been inserted into French Indochina.
France has fallen. The French Colonial Corps stationed in French Indochina, which has only second-rate combat effectiveness, is no match for the Japanese army. As long as the Japanese are willing, they can completely occupy French Indochina at any time, which actually has no defense power.
Once French Indochina is occupied, all the elites have been transferred to North Africa and the mainland. In fact, the British Far East Malayan Colony, whose defensive strength has been extremely empty, and Singapore, the strategic chokepoint that controls the Strait of Malacca, will be nakedly exposed to the Japanese army. Under the bayonet.
Like French Indochina, the motherland behind her has been defeated and the Queen and the government have fled to London. All local support has been cut off. The same goes for the Dutch East Indies, which possesses almost all the strategic resources needed by the Japanese army. Exposed to Japanese naval gunfire.
The equipment and combat effectiveness of the Dutch colonial army in the Dutch East Indies are not as good as those of the French Indochina Colonial Legion. Its weak naval force and cannons are still antique colonial legions from the last century. Although they are not bad in terms of numbers, The actual combat effectiveness is not even as good as third-rate.
Under the circumstances that neither national conditions nor military strength are suitable for sending troops, it is urgent to build an army that can fight against the Japanese. This has almost become the best choice for Americans. Even if they cannot completely defeat the Japanese, at least they can It also wants to weaken Japan's expansion power.
Yang Zhen bets that with Major Pearson in the Northeast, even if it is less than half a month before the end of this battle, even though it is thousands of miles away, the US government will know the results of this battle as soon as possible. Chu. Americans are not fools. They will not invest money in an army that will not help them much.
I am afraid that it was the results of this battle that made the Americans determined to aid themselves. Otherwise, between themselves and the Nationalist Government, the best aid target can only be the Nationalist Government, not themselves in their eyes. The so-called red elements, not to mention these hundreds of planes, are almost something that the Nationalist Government has always dreamed of but has never been able to get.
For Americans, the so-called alliance is just a fig leaf. The so-called interests are the most important. For their own interests, they are willing to deal with the devil. As for themselves, the red elements in their eyes, as long as they can help them Stifling the expansion momentum of the Japanese. Holding back the Japanese. Some equipment is nothing.
Americans are very realistic. If someone can restrict the expansion of the Japanese and protect the interests of the United States, they can be very generous when taking action. This is why the Americans allow themselves to enjoy this for the first time. Even their closest friends at present allies. The British cannot enjoy the benefits. You know, although the British can easily import equipment and supplies from the United States, they still need to pay cash.
As soon as Pearson finished speaking, Yang Zhen had already made up his mind. No matter what the Americans had in mind for being so generous, there was one thing. Yang Zhen understood that according to the history he was familiar with, these should have been handed over to the British. The equipment is now handed over to me. I cannot miss it no matter what.
Although the face is his own, the opportunity is given by others. Once this rare opportunity is lost, it will never be made up for. Of course, Yang Zhen also knows that Americans will definitely have some requirements for doing this. But Yang Zhen has already made up his mind. Determined, as long as it doesn't go too far and violates one's own conscience and national justice, I will agree to it.
However, in order to strengthen the confidence of the Americans, Yang Zhen also prepared a big gift for the Americans. In addition to part of this gift being information provided by the Intelligence Department's top informants in the Kwantung Army, the rest was only provided by the Intelligence Department and the Ministry of Social Affairs based on Some of the information provided by Yang Zhen was just made up by himself.
Just like when he borrowed a knife to kill the person who posed the greatest threat to him in Jiangbei, Yang Zhen will also use this half-true and half-false intelligence to completely drag the Americans into the water. After all, as a descendant, for this beautiful period The secret negotiation process between Japan and Japan is still very clear.
Although he is well aware of the development of this period of history, Yang Zhen cannot guarantee that the process of history will develop as he knows it. After all, his arrival has changed too much history. Every time he knows it, It was a turning point in history. Yang Zhen would finally breathe a sigh of relief and feel completely relieved after getting the exact news.
Although I have not completely changed history, history has been more or less deviated here. The time for the Soviet Union to annex the three Baltic countries has been advanced. The commander-in-chief of the First Army who was supposed to die this year is leading the First Army in the base area with peace of mind. Rest and recuperation. Therefore, Yang Zhen could not guarantee whether the Pacific War would break out as scheduled at the time he knew.
Because the two wars, especially this war, greatly weakened the strength of the Japanese army. After this war, it is difficult to say whether the Japanese still have the strength to go south. After all, the main force of the Japanese ground war is the Japanese Army. They suffered heavy losses in the battle against themselves. And relying on their so-called special marines, there is no way to capture Nanyang.
Out of concern about changes in the course of history, after Major Pearson revealed the good intentions of the US government, Yang Zhen immediately formulated a so-called dagger plan without any hesitation. In fact, there was nothing too special about this plan. The historical process that he himself knew well was written in advance with half truths and half lies.
The first piece of information has been sent out. The result is very exciting for Yang Zhen. The harvest is so rich that Yang Zhen, a latecomer, is somewhat unexpected. Not to mention anything else, this alone seems to be a few hundred dollars given away for free. A combat aircraft is enough to establish a powerful tactical air force.
What surprised Yang Zhen the most was that it was not the large number of aircraft that the Americans were willing to provide, but the two radars that were provided. Among all the weapons and equipment provided by the Americans, although this was inconspicuous, it was The equipment that changed the history of world air combat is what makes Yang Zhen most excited.
Yang Zhen is well aware of the power of radar, a weapon that is not directly used on the battlefield but has an ugly appearance and looks like a knife frame. Although the current radar is still mainly based on electron tubes, not only the detection range is limited, but also the detection range is limited. It can be bulky but has almost no anti-interference ability.
But with these two radars, it is much better than relying on manned air defense surveillance posts currently. With these two radars, I can save a lot of effort in air defense operations against future heavy industrial zones. Although my own radars are not It is being developed in secret. However, due to the lack of talents, it is still in a trial state. It is not yet known whether it will be officially put into production.
Now with these two American radars, he has not only solved the big problem of air defense. He can also learn about the latest American technology through these two radars and solve the current difficulties. Yang is quite confident in the Chinese copycat technology. Zhen. I believe that as long as there are physical objects for reference and the advanced experience I provide, more advanced radars will be developed.
It is even possible to build the world's first radar early warning aircraft. He thought that he would carry out air strikes against Japan next and create a favorable battlefield situation. At least he would not have to pay too many casualties and losses. Yang Zhen was very familiar with the aviation history of World War II. He knew that before the United States offered to assist large bombers, if he wanted to attack the Japanese mainland, he would only rely on medium bombers.
As for the only Il-4 bomber that I can currently obtain, it is also the only large-scale Il-4 bomber. Although its combat radius can reach the Japanese mainland. When the aircraft carries 1,500 kilograms of bombs, it can take off from Jiamusi and reach the Japanese mainland. But it can only reach the Japanese mainland. The aircraft has two 7.62mm machine guns and one 12.7mm machine gun. Its defensive firepower is extremely weak. It cannot be compared with the American bombers whose firepower is close to abnormal.
Moreover, next year the Japanese Army Air Force's new Type 1 fighter is about to fly and the Navy's Zero aircraft is about to be mass-produced. It relies on this bomber with weak firepower and lacks fighter escorts with sufficient range to launch an attack on Japan. Bombing. If there is no reliable cover, the losses will be huge. Even more than one can bear.
Although so far, I have no fighter jets that can fly to the Japanese mainland for full escort. And before the Yak-9 fighter jets with the longest range in World War II and the American P-51 Mustang fighter jets appeared, I couldn't have one on hand. A fighter with a range that could provide escort for the entire bombing campaign against Japan.
Even if all the aircraft promised by the United States arrive in full, even the P-40 fighter with the longest range, which takes off from Jiamusi after adding auxiliary fuel tanks, can barely reach the Japanese mainland, and the time in the air can only be less than ten minutes at most. In these ten minutes, under the premise that the opponent has a large number of air defense weapons, it is simply not enough to cover the bombers with weak firepower.
However, although I do not yet have a fighter with sufficient range, I now have an electronic jammer on hand. If I can develop a radar early warning aircraft, I can at least provide early warning to the bomber group, allowing the bombers to evade and avoid more incidents. A lot of losses. This is still on paper for the bomber production line. When it is put into mass production, we don’t know what year or month it will be.
Yang Zhen only knew that this bomber production plant, which he had worked so hard to defraud from the Soviets, would definitely not produce a single bomber for at least a year. Now that he had made up his mind to carry out air strikes against Japan, he added. Under the premise that the source is likely to be quite difficult, adopting other methods to reduce losses has almost become Yang Zhen's only option.
Yang Zhen was surprised that Americans could provide radar technology. After Major Pearson reported the situation and returned, he immediately sent a top-secret code to Peng Dingjie, who had arrived in the United States via the Soviet Union. Yang Zhen knew clearly about the code. I told Peng Dingjie that as long as the demands made by the Americans are not too outrageous, all demands can be accepted.
