Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

In Weiyuxuan, Huang He and others sat around a table and expressed their opinions. While chatting and laughing, the construction of the North Sea Fleet made new breakthroughs.

Everyone was so engrossed in the conversation that time passed in a flash.

It was getting dark outside the window. The army reorganization expert looked at the watch on his hand, and a look of regret flashed across his face.

"Everyone, everyone has their own schedules tomorrow, so let's just call it a day for today's gathering. The military district has arranged accommodation for the three of you, and the guards and I will take you to rest later."

"By the way, Huang He, please stay for a while."

"Regarding the continued construction of the road to the west, the headquarters has issued the latest instructions. You have been paying close attention to the progress in this regard. Let's take a look at War Fox's arrangements later."

"no problem."

During World War II, night flying was a problem for all the major participating countries. Even the Eighth Route Army Air Force, which had the most advanced radar technology, could hardly guarantee that every flight would be safe.

Considering safety issues, Director Xiao and Captain Legend could only stay for one night and then fly directly to Weihai anchorage after daybreak.

After a while, Mr. Nie returned along the same route with the snacks.

After pushing open the door, he saw Huang He working on a case and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Hey, I'm really afraid that you'll tire yourself to death one day. I told you to take a rest, but why are you drawing again? You should take care of yourself."

"Okay, I'll do the modification of the aircraft carrier design another day."

"You eat some cakes first. I'll prepare the documents. Let's try to finish this as soon as possible."

As an aircraft carrier adapted to the naval combat environments of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, if the Béarn wants to spend its later years in the Bohai and Yellow Seas and make use of its remaining energy, there are indeed many design details that need to be modified.

The first to be affected are naturally the hangar and the deck.

When fighting near one's own coast, the threat posed by sea conditions and enemy land-based aviation to the fleet will be relatively smaller.

Huang He intended to give up some of the Béarn's protection in order to reduce weight in exchange for speed.

There is no need for an aircraft carrier whose main mission is to train new soldiers and punish those who are down and out to be equipped with a 25 mm thick flight deck.

The semi-enclosed hangar is even less bold.

Instead of being a stubborn person and causing yourself trouble, it is better to lose weight and speed up.

Even if we can't outrun the Independence, Dragon and Royal Ark, we can't be much slower than the Raider.

In addition, Huang He also plans to add a catapult system to Bearn.

As to whether to use hydraulics, steam, or even rocket power, that would depend on the specific circumstances and the advice of the naval aviation pilots.

There is no way. Compared with the main aircraft carriers of the current era, the 180-meter flight deck of the Bearn is really not enough.

Without some external force, let alone the jet-powered Gloster Meteor, even advanced piston-powered carrier-based aircraft such as the Westland Wyvern and Torch would not be able to take off smoothly from the deck.

······
After hearing the concerned reminder from the army reorganization expert, Huang He reluctantly put away the drawings.

Each generation has its own mission. Just like the intercontinental ballistic missile that shocked the world in later generations, an aircraft carrier is also an indispensable weapon for a major country.

Suffering in the present, benefit for future generations.

If he cannot lead his comrades into the deep blue and cannot provide a roof over the heads of future generations, then what qualifications does Huang have to bear the title of military industry leader?

"Don't worry, old man. I know my own health well. I will never fall down until our TG officially becomes the top leader in Asia."

"By the way, why did the Border Region suddenly change its mind? Didn't they always put the overall situation first?"

"What about San Ma? What should we do with those old guys?"

Just as Huang He was making jokes, the army reorganization experts finally sorted out all the materials.

He took out many originals and copies of telegrams from the file bag, then classified them according to their specific content and placed them one by one on the desk in front of him.

As if he could see the confusion and puzzlement of his colleagues, President Nie did not keep them in suspense and pointed directly to the first document on the left hand side and explained:

"I have sorted the information in front of you according to the timeline. As long as you read from the beginning to the end, you will definitely get the answer to your question."

"To be honest, the border region has negotiated a very good deal this time."

"If that Fenghua guy doesn't do anything behind the scenes, I'm sure our total oil production capacity will see a leap forward next year."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang He's face was immediately filled with doubts.

Recently, he has devoted all his energy to Project 1059 and has no time to pay attention to changes in the outside world.

From Fenghua?
That's just Baldy. At this point, what relationship does he have with the border area?

With his guess in mind, Huang He silently opened the first document. But after just one glance, he could hardly control his expression.

"Oh my god, what's going on!"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. How come Daiying is so lame? An Italian infantry regiment plus a dozen new fighter jets can actually defeat the Royal Air Force and an infantry division?"

"Could it be that Daiying was possessed by the Indians eighty years in advance?"

The first document on the table was intelligence provided by the ally Free France.

These dozen pieces of paper recorded a battle in great detail. The two sides in the battle were the British and the Axis from the Allied camp.

However, surprisingly, Lao Mo's troops wiped out the previous shame and fought a brilliant comeback battle.

If the front-line commander had not suddenly fallen ill, the Italian Infantry Regiment, which had air superiority, would have even had a chance to defeat a fully-strength British Infantry Division head-on.

Seeing this, Huang He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The Italian Air Force can still beat the early Spitfire's new fighter? Could it be that Italy is also very powerful?
We are still in Hearts of Iron and World of Warships, how come you opened a poker table yourself! Roman Spirit + Lion of the Day + Seventh Mountain Regiment, right?
Now that things have come to this, what happens next is self-evident.

It was nothing more than that Britain wanted to purchase the technology and blueprints of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, and was prepared to use the most economical, affordable and fastest method to improve the combat effectiveness of its own North African troops.

Sure enough, the subsequent documents were exactly what Huang He had expected and were the specific negotiation process.

After Huang He finished reading all the materials, the army reorganization expert immediately spoke up and slowly explained some details that were not recorded.

"The business I just mentioned is, to be precise, a three-party deal. First, Dai Ying will pay gold and some army equipment to purchase the three-year mining rights of the Yumen Oilfield."

"Next, they will use the oil mines as a bargaining chip in exchange for the blueprints of our Hurricane, Typhoon, Spitfire and Mosquito fighters."

"In fact, the British originally wanted Lancaster's technology, but the border region did not agree. The four-engine strategic bomber has a different price, haha."

Hearing this, Huang He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It feels great. It really feels great.

In his opinion, his side had gained all the advantages in this transaction, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a business with no cost.

After all, even if the border areas are not sold, the British airlines will light up their own technology trees in the future. It is just a matter of time and cost.

Using something that originally belonged to the other party to exchange for more benefits is a great joy no matter how you look at it.

Well, it was the first time that Guosu saw his money return. The border region acquired an oil field without any effort, and Dai Ying obtained the coveted aero-engine technology. Everyone has a bright future.

As for the mining rights being only for three years?

Three years later, it was 1945.

In this regard, Huang He just wanted to say to Baldy and Guo Su that time is running out.

"I see. No wonder we can continue to build roads westward. Daiying is such a good person!"

"When Old Dai and Philip mention their century-old friendship again, I will have to give them some advice. After all, we are all members of the Allied camp, so there is no need to make the relationship so awkward."

"If they turn hostile directly, they might disgust us with historical issues."

Logically speaking, as a leader in the first and second industrial revolutions, Dai Ying had no reason to ask others for help in building airplanes.

After all, this old industrial power has a profound foundation. There are as many as 126 million people working in its domestic aviation industry, and the annual output of various types of fighter jets has reached an astonishing 2.

However, the R&D cycle of aviation manufacturing is generally long, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst!
Take Supermarine for example. Even if all of their employees were 007s, they would not be able to fully put the Griffin Spitfire into service by mid-1942.

What if I don’t buy the blueprints?
Are we really going to lose to the Axis Shame Pasta and let the Baldy Ink ride on the face of the Royal Air Force to attack?
Besides, it is better to buy than to make. The cost of the blueprint is cheaper than developing it yourself.

What's more, the RAF and the Eighth Route Army Air Force can be considered to be of the same origin, which is a fact recognized by the whole world.

There is no shame in learning some advanced technology from your big brother.

Seeing Huang He's face of taking advantage of the situation, the army reorganization expert couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even made a joke which was extremely rare.

"Haha, if we're going to fall out, then we're going to fall out. There's nothing to be afraid of. Times have changed. Now the other party is begging us."

"If it really doesn't work, let them use XG and other places as bargaining chips next time to eliminate the hidden dangers in one go. Anyway, Britain can't even take care of its own overseas colonies, so why can't it give up the Far East?"

"It makes sense! It makes sense!" (End of this chapter)
