1949 I am from the future

【170】The wind and rain are coming

In the Pentagon of the U.S. Department of Defense, this luxurious office building is poured with copper water and connected to make the five buildings integrated into one body. files on .

This office suite is luxurious and stylish, with a bedroom, bathroom, living room, and everything.In the main office, leather sofas surround the four walls. There are world maps and oil paintings of American painter John Sargent hanging on the walls. Not to mention how it complements the crimson-painted beech wainscoting and luxurious cream marble floors.

The air force major sitting in front of him is undoubtedly waiting for his dear minister to give instructions on the document.He looked young and proud, and at the moment he was bored looking at the golden eagle standing on the crystal base on the minister's table. It was said that this artwork was a spoil of war brought from Berlin.

This balding middle-aged man is Louis Johnson, the second Secretary of Defense of the United States. He is a lover of art and decorated this office with his family's collection.After reading the report, frowning, he said: "It's too bad that the Chinese have jet fighters. The Soviets moved so fast."

Hearing this, the young major immediately turned his attention away from the Golden Eagle and replied, "Yes, my lord, this is really bad. These jets have taken a heavy toll on Chiang's Mustang fighter jets. Chiang is impatient now, and he hopes We can pay more attention to the Kuomintang army who are fighting on the front line of counter-feeding. He asked us to provide him with 25 p-80 "meteor" jet fighters."

Louis Johnson loosened his eyebrows and said expressionlessly: "This request can be met, but don't expect the United States to pay for him. After all, Mr. President has been asking the Ministry of National Defense to cut the budget, and Taiwan is a bottomless pit. Let Jiang prepare Pay for it yourself, I think that way Congress will approve it, after all ** is the common enemy of our free world. But tell him it's expensive, very expensive.

The young major said: "I have notified Lockheed, and they are willing to provide [-]% of the contract amount to the Ministry of National Defense as compensation."

Louis Johnson nodded, and asked curiously, "How much did they offer Jiang?"

The young major laughed. "$25."

Louis Johnson blurted out in surprise: "These bastards, the purchase price of the Ministry of National Defense is [-] US dollars, which is really a good deal. But they only paid [-]% of the compensation."

The young major replied: "Lockheed said that the contract with a total price of 800 million US dollars includes pilot training and ground maintenance equipment. So they don't make much money."

Louis Johnson waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't fool me with the words of these greedy coyotes, I know this ratio is a rule. But you have to tell Lockheed that all weapons and equipment must go through the Department of Defense. For inspections, the technology must be kept strictly confidential."

"Yes, Mr. Minister." The young man stood up, knocked his heels, stood at attention and left Johnson's office after saluting.

Johnson picked up the phone and said, "Get me the CIA..."

For Louis Johnson, it is not surprising that China has jet aircraft. According to the information he has received, the Soviet jet fighter has been developed and improved to the third type. There is no doubt that the Chinese will get the Soviet jet fighter as an ally. The initial model of the machine.

The most difficult and most troublesome issue for Johnson at present is that West Germany Adenauer proposed that West Germany join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in an independent form, instead of accepting NATO's joint military leadership as the European Union Army according to France's conception, that is, It is said that the Germans do not want to be taken away by France from the command of the Japanese army.

Adenauer even proposed the creation of a motorized police force to counter its terrifying neighbor to the east.This was strongly opposed by France. In France's view, Germany should no longer have an army, at least not an army with independent command.At present, the wrangling is still going on, and the United States, as the leader of NATO, has to deal with it, which is a headache.

Johnson doesn't like Chang Kaishen in Asia, it's a dead fish, Johnson often says that.But as long as the dead fish can lie there safely, it can play the role of disgusting and contain the red China, which is the greatest value of the dead fish.

What Johnson wanted to ask the CIA to find out was which jet fighter the Soviet Union provided to China.Johnson often read Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he saw the phrase "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."He thought it made sense, and even wrote it down in his diary.

To Johnson's dissatisfaction, the CIA did not get intelligence on the Soviet Union's export of jets to China, not at all, which made Johnson very dissatisfied.

"It seems that I have to wait for Jiang's news. The camera gun on the fighter jet will tell me the answer. But this group of trash is wiped out every time, it is really stupid." Johnson shook his head irritably, and continued to read another copy A budget request for the construction of the new aircraft carrier USS America is coming.

The Soviet Union can be said to be full of ambition at the moment. On August 8 last year, the first atomic bomb was successfully detonated, so that the Soviet Union finally had the ultimate weapon against the United States. According to the plan of the Supreme Committee of State Construction, at the latest in 29, the secret of the Soviet Union in Oberminsk Works would allow the USSR to have the world's first nuclear power plant.

In the five years after the war, the economy and military of the Soviet Union were developing at a high speed. Social welfare and various infrastructure constructions were booming. The military purchases from the Soviet Union by various socialist allies also made the Soviet Union a fortune. Lost a lot of outdated equipment.

Although Stalin hoped that China could buy more arms, this little brother from the East only signed a large order to purchase the Li-2 transport aircraft, and was not interested in other Soviet arms, which puzzled Stalin.

Now the document in Stalin's hands finally solved the doubts in his mind.

"Chinese new-style warships? Appeared at Tianjin Port and Qingdao Naval Base? The Chinese Army has begun to refit in large numbers. A new type of semi-automatic rifle and automatic rifle is being installed in large numbers? A large number of light and heavy artillery, including various anti-aircraft guns, are also arriving in the army. ?”

After receiving this secret report from the National Security Council of the Soviet Union, Stalin had no doubts about the accuracy of the report. There are many people in China who are friendly to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet army has not completely withdrawn from Northeast China. A secret list of sources of intelligence is attached.The fact that so many people can confirm this news shows that the authenticity of this intelligence from the Pacific Fleet Command led by General Kuznetsov cannot be doubted.

Stalin asked Mikoyan: "Should we ask China to explain the source of their arms?"

Mikoyan thought for a while and said, "That's no problem. We are allies that have signed a treaty of friendship and alliance. We should establish political mutual trust. I think Chinese comrades should give us a reasonable explanation."

Stalin said: "Then ask them, if their arms channels come from the West, we should be vigilant."

Marshal Voroshilov, who participated in this small-scale discussion at the highest level, suggested: "In any case, Chinese comrades can get these obviously very advanced warships and land weapons, which is also a useful source of intelligence for us. The current cold war and embargo against the socialist camp in Western countries has made us unfamiliar with the latest development of weapon technology in Western countries. We should ask Chinese comrades to provide their import channels to the Soviet Union so that both sides can share. And, The Soviet Union should be allowed to send military experts to have a look at these weapons, I think this is good for improving our military technology and expanding our sources of military intelligence.”

After listening to Marshal Voroshilov's speech, Stalin nodded again and again, "Yes, that's right, that's what happened. Mikoyan, you immediately contact your Chinese comrades. In any case, the Soviet Union must get information about these weapons. , it would be best for them to send samples of weapons to the Soviets. Of course, we are willing to offer equal or even better terms in exchange. You have to tell the Chinese comrades that they currently do not have the conditions to manufacture advanced weapons, but the Soviet Union Yes. If the Soviet Union finds that these weapons are advanced enough to be worth researching, then we can cooperate to produce them, and we can share technology with them.”

Mikoyan nodded: "Your generosity will definitely impress the comrades in China. I believe they will give me a satisfactory answer."

Comrade Ho Chi Minh returned to China from the Soviet Union together with Comrade Shaoqi.Different from the situation in China, China signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance with the Soviet Union this time, but Ho Chi Minh's visit to the Soviet Union got nothing.

Stalin didn't want to see Ho Chi Minh, and he didn't even attend the dinner welcoming Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh's request for an autographed photo of Stalin was turned down, and he was in so much pain.

However, as the saying goes, a good girl is afraid of being entangled. Stalin finally agreed to meet with Ho Chi Minh, but he rejected Ho Chi Minh’s request for assistance to Vietnam.

In this way, the Soviet Union completely shrugged off the burden of Ho Chi Minh, not to mention Ho Chi Minh's request to follow China's example and sign the Soviet-Vietnamese Friendship and Alliance Treaty, the Soviet Union simply refused to consider it.

The reason is simple. At this time, almost the entire territory of Vietnam was in the hands of the French colonial army. Even the Vietnamese side of the Sino-Vietnamese border was completely controlled by the French colonial army. The method of guerrilla warfare and the guerrilla warfare of the French continued the cause of the Vietnamese people's War of Independence against France.

At this time, no country in the world recognizes the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and no international organization is willing to establish ties with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.Western media commented that the Republic led by Ho Chi Minh is just a "ghost" country that does not exist.So the current situation of the "Democratic Republic of Vietnam" established by Vietnam is so bleak and embarrassing. The whole one and three have no products: no international status at all, no recognition at all, and no foreign aid at all.

Under such circumstances, the Soviet Union could not see any hope of supporting the Viet Cong. Could it be that I want you to airdrop supplies?Don't the French want to completely turn against Lao Tzu?

The Soviet Union thus generously issued a blank check, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union suggested the establishment of the Central Bureau of the Asian Supply and Production Party headed by China.Guide and help vast Asian countries including Vietnam in their quest for liberation.

According to the explanation of the Soviet Union, this task is glorious and sacred, but why don't you do it yourself?I am a big poor man, and I want to help a bunch of little poor men. Although we are indeed international comrades who cherish each other, I am not a rich and oily country like the bald eagle!I can't even eat enough by myself, what can I use to help?Even if the whole body is made of iron, how many catties of nails can it drive?Where is enough for these countries to chew on?

In history, China has carried forward the spirit of internationalism and brought Bethune's spirit to the extreme. It has turned a phantom into a relatively advanced and powerful entity country in the international arena.The all-round assistance made the Viet Cong continue to grow stronger, and it fought the French colonists upside down, and the sparks in the fight with the US imperialists flew everywhere.

However, China can only aid one Vietnam by tightening its belt. We know that we can eat a few taels of rice. In Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and many other Asian countries, comrades who yearn for socialism have more than enough energy but not enough energy.Of course, at that time, no one thought that the brothers and comrades who worked so hard to feed them would turn against them later!

But now with the information brought by Xiaoqiang, China has to face the possible changes in the future cautiously.Therefore, the answer Comrade Ho Chi Minh received from the central government was that the relationship between Vietnam and China must be written into the party program and constitution, and China’s aid must also be converted into shares of Vietnam’s mineral resources in the form of shares. Accounting for 51% of the shares, the border line and sea area between China and Vietnam must be clearly determined.

Ho Chi Minh was surprised when he saw the map that the Chinese comrades gave him. It simply marked a few gold and silver mines, iron mines, coal mines, and oil fields, which he had never heard of. As for the sea map, it was even more clear. God knows China Where did comrades survey and draw such a detailed map of Vietnam.

To agree or not to agree?Of course yes!Definitely agree!

Ho Chi Minh knew in his heart that if he did not receive assistance, the guerrilla warfare of Yuegong would definitely not be able to continue.Now they have one broken gun and one less gun, and one bullet less than one bullet. They are besieged in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is almost impossible to survive.Must be supported by weapons.

As for the troops of the Vietnamese army, they are completely militias, and they don’t have any tactics of the regular army except for guerrilla warfare. Therefore, an officer corps must be sent to receive regular military academy training from Chinese comrades with rich experience in war.

China's conditions are not harsh. Mining companies only include a few mines at the beginning. With the expansion of assistance in the later period, if the Vietnamese side feels that there is a need, they will use other more mines to invest in mining companies. Proportion, 51% is converted into military aid, and the remaining 49% is retained by the Vietnamese side.

The mining company will operate tax-free for 99 years in the future, and the Chinese side will give priority to underwriting all output according to the international market price.All other fees are equal to those of other state-owned enterprises in Vietnam, and the Vietnamese side shall not charge tolls higher than the same mileage in other parts of the country on the transportation route.

Those with bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes. Ho Chi Minh had nothing at all. The white wolf with empty gloves can exchange so much profit and assistance, it is worth it!
