Ouyang Yun was not in the office at that time, but accompanied Fan Xuande and Stilwell to visit the Golden Eagle fighter production line. When the headquarters called, Ouyang Yun, Fan Xuande, and Stilwell were standing on a plane preparing for a test flight. While chatting in front of the golden eagle, the phone was transferred to him by Gu Lianyun. He understood what happened and couldn't help but smile. Both Fan Xuande and Stilwell spoke Chinese well. After hearing his words, Stilwell's brows immediately raised. He frowned: "These reporters are just worried about the world being in chaos. General, you don't need to pay attention to them at all." Fan Xuande pondered without saying anything. Both of them looked at Ouyang Yun,
"Journalists have the freedom to interview and report news. In this regard, I think our Xuebing Army has always done a good job. I am very disappointed with these reporters. Their eyes are only focused on our treatment of the Japanese army but do not care about doing so. This can be regarded as a kind of political bias." Ouyang Yun said this to Fan Xuande and Stilwell, and then he said to Gu Lianyun: "You have more dealings with reporters. , you should go back."
Gu Lianyun nodded, then she smiled and said sorry to Fan Xuande and Stilwell, handed the folder in her hand to Xin Bao, then turned and left gracefully.
Fan Xuande and Stilwell were not interested in reporters' demonstrations. In normal times, Fan Xuande might have asked about it because there were American journalists among them. But now, when the United States is extremely disadvantaged in fighting in the Pacific and Australia's war situation is in danger, They came to Guangzhou on the instructions of President Roosevelt and Secretary of Defense Marshall, one to support the Australian Army, and the other to support the Golden Eagle and missiles, but they were not in the mood to take care of the others. The U.S. Navy suffered repeated defeats in the confrontation with the Japanese Navy in the Pacific. Secretary Knox and Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral King, summarized the reasons and ultimately attributed them to the gap in performance of U.S. fighter aircraft. History is so dramatic. At that time and space, the P51 Mustang had already dominated the sky and became the Allied air weapon. This absolute Fighters that have nothing to do with aesthetics and even appear to be bulky and bulky can restrain the Japanese zero-fighting force that was in full swing at that time. In this time and space, because of the addition of Koizumi Minichiro to Japan, the performance of the zero-fighting aircraft has been improved, and because of Ouyang Yun’s long-awaited The Baiji dolphin was created. In front of the Baiji dolphin, the fighter planes of other countries suddenly became old farmers in the countryside. So the P51 prototype was rejected by the senior officials of the US Sea Air Force. The Americans turned to the Baiji dolphin, and Three Baiji production lines were introduced from the Xuebing Army at once. The Baiji still had a technical advantage against the new Zero Fighter, but the gap was not as big as before against the Falcon and Type 99. The entire U.S. Pacific Fleet was destroyed. A large number of experienced pilots were lost. In addition, some of the baijis in service were produced on production lines designed by the Americans themselves, and their performance was not as good as that of the original technology of the Xuebingjun. All these factors combined resulted in the equipment of baijis. The U.S. Naval Air Force was still no match for the Japanese army. Forced by no choice, Roosevelt could only come up with the idea of fulfilling the agreement reached at the Cairo Conference in advance.
I have to admit that the industrial production capacity of the United States is really terrible. Less than a year after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States has produced ten fleet aircraft carriers at a rate of one per month. If you add in the total, it will be about more than ten. The escort aircraft carriers are equal to the United States launching two aircraft carriers every month. This terrifying production capacity is enough to make Yamamoto Isoroku jump into the sea. Among these aircraft carriers, there are a total of thirteen that can be put into service, including six Egyptian ones. According to Admiral Jin's wishes, he wants all of these aircraft carriers, including the corresponding frigates. Roosevelt, Marshall, and Knox originally had the same idea, but now, they have to consider more realistic issues. , without aviation forces of corresponding strength, these aircraft carriers will be targets when they go against Japan's combined fleet. Instead of being defeated by the Japanese army early, it is better to wait until the aviation force has the advantage. The Americans are so eager to get the Golden Eagle. and missile technology, so Ouyang Yun’s opportunity to make a fortune came again.
The Americans were originally worried about the immaturity of the Golden Eagle and missile technology, but as the relevant images and results of the Santai Air Battle were confirmed, the Americans became excited. When Fan Xuande and Stilwell saw the Golden Eagle, they had so much excitement in their eyes. He was so eager to rush in and take a bite. According to the original agreement, the United States would exchange missile technology with an Essex-class aircraft carrier, and another Essex-class aircraft carrier and two Northampton-class cruisers. Now, Americans have a greater appetite for Golden Eagle technology. After Gu Lianyun left, Stilwell said to Ouyang Yun: "General, can you sell us fifty first? You know, our Pacific Fleet There is a serious lack of advanced fighter aircraft that can target the Japanese army in zero combat."
Before he could finish his words, Ouyang Yun frowned and interrupted: "Isn't that right? Our Baiji Dolphins also have the ability to suppress zero combat. As far as I know, your country's aircraft factory in Australia now has It should be possible to remove more than fifty Baijis, which are more than enough to equip your country's Pacific Fleet, so why is there a shortage of fighter planes?"
Stilwell blushed. The United States originally introduced only three white-tip dolphin production lines from the Xuebing Army. However, half a year later, they designed and built five more white-tip dolphin production lines. According to the original proposal reached with the Xuebing Army, every time the US military produced one They should pay Xuebingjun a patent fee of US$10,000 for each Baiji dolphin. The Americans are greedy for cheap, and there is no clause in the agreement about whether they should pay patent fees for the production lines they built independently, so they are unwilling to pay this part. It is not difficult to imitate patent fees, the production line of Baiji Dolphin, or even fighter jets. However, because some of the core components such as the special materials required for engines are currently only produced by Xuebingjun, so correspondingly, Xuebingjun will sell them as much as the patent fees it gets. The Americans did not take this seriously, but as the performance gap emerged between the Baiji dolphins produced completely independently, they were not as good as the materials provided by Xuebingjun. Some people regretted that their intestines were green. This matter involved Stilwell did not dare to tell Ouyang Yun about some scandals in the top management of the United States, so he could only say with a wry smile: "We do not lack fighter planes, but we do lack experienced veteran pilots, so we hope to learn from the performance of fighter planes." to make up for it.”
Ouyang Yun had no interest in continuing the investigation. He nodded and said: "That's right, but fifty is impossible. As you know, the Japanese army has developed a fifty special attack aircraft. Only the Golden Eagle can deal with this fighter." , our Golden Eagle’s production capacity is so large, and now we can’t even satisfy our own front-line troops.”
