Chapter 357 Extravagant Asking Prices and Paying Back the Money on the Spot to Earn Two Destroyers
Facing Gao Jianwu's lion's mouth, General Smith seemed very cautious, and quickly borrowed the radio station here to send back Gao Jianwu's conditions intact.

Sure enough, not as Smith expected.Gao Jianwu's other two conditions were quickly responded to by the Allied Forces.

However, General Mike flatly rejected Gao Jianwu's request for a destroyer squadron.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." General Mike roared almost in a growling voice.

"This is the big mouth of the lion. Tell Smith that the other side must never agree to such conditions."

"Mike, do you think we would have to sacrifice tens of thousands of people to take the islands of Ryukyu without their help?" General Steven asked.

"If anyone can exchange these islands with a destroyer squadron, I will send this squadron right away.

In fact, I can understand their concerns.Fighting on these islands is indeed very dangerous for them without the support of the fleet.

From the perspective of their own safety, having a squadron under their own command can indeed guarantee their own safety to the greatest extent. "

General Steven really understood Gao Jianwu's worries.He knew how those people in Huaxia valued their army, it was like their lifeblood, and Gao Jianwu was the same as those people in the eyes of General Steven.

If it is said that one's troops are sent to an isolated and helpless island to fight, almost no one dares to do so.

Because once on the island, the Allied fleet did not follow up and support in time, and the soldiers fighting on these islands were basically determined by fate.

This is very different from Gao Jianwu's expeditionary force in the Indochina Peninsula. The Indochina Peninsula has a lot of space, and there is still room to run if something goes wrong. But on this small island, if something happens, the entire army will be wiped out, and there will be no place to run. Can run.

"Our fleet can provide them with full support. But it is ridiculous not to send them a fleet." General Mike said stubbornly.

When the news came back to Gao Jianwu's ears, Gao Jianwu didn't think it was strange, after all, there was no precedent for this in the beautiful country.

"Without the support of the exclusive fleet under our control, our troops cannot bear the risk of landing on such a Jedi on the islands of the Ryukyu Islands." Gao Jianwu said to Smith after receiving the news, "But this does not affect the two of us." The relationship between people, John, we have talked about doing civil aviation together before, this invitation has always existed, and the place where we cooperate can be all over the world, including the Americas."

"Our market is mainly in Asia, and it will not have much impact on the civil aviation market in the Americas. If you are interested, we will jointly develop a 30-seat short-to-medium-range transport aircraft.

We have designed a twin-engine propeller transport aircraft similar to the Bear Il transport aircraft, but it is larger than it and has a longer transport range. The initial design has 32 to 36 seats, the maximum range can reach 2000 kilometers, and the maximum speed exceeds 450 km/h , a medium-sized passenger aircraft with an economical cruising speed of more than 350 km/h, which can handle transportation between most Chinese cities such as Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Guangzhou, Jingrong, and Beijing-Taiwan. "

Gao Jianwu never forgot to recruit Smith to join the team. In fact, domestic aviation is too weak. Without the help of an American expert, it is too difficult to build a brand new aviation industry chain from beginning to end. Even if it is now possible to manufacture Yun-6 according to the diagram , many supporting subsystems are not optimal.

To put it simply, Gao Jianwu's team now needs to make a landing gear, and an avionics is enough.As for the aero engine, the six propeller engines are used. With the foundation of the Mustang fighter, the engine is not a big problem, and the jet engine technology of the F-4 jet fighter is also in the process of research and development.

Of course, if we wait a few years, Gao Jianwu's electronics industry will reach a large scale, especially after the first generation of transistorized computers are developed. After iterating to the 8080 level, Gao Jianwu, the avionics industry, will also be able to overtake in a corner, completely surpassing the current level of electronic tube avionics. .

It's just that Gao Jianwu can't wait that long now.

"Gao, you know I'm an aerospace engineer. It's not easy to build an aircraft manufacturing company from scratch." Smith didn't expect Gao Jianwu to still stare at him, "Now I'm still in the military, so I definitely can't come with you Do it, but I can invite some friends to work with you."

Smith sighed.

"That would be great. John, we can start working on this matter immediately. Please introduce any of your friends to us. We will immediately establish an aviation industry chain company in North America. Don't worry, when you retire, the CEO of this company will definitely give you You keep it, we are old friends who fought side by side, and in this regard, I definitely believe in old friends more."

Gao Jianwu said happily that the biggest purpose of his pulling Smith was nothing more than this. He took a fancy to the deep connections in the aviation industry behind him. Now that Smith is in a high position, what he said is more expensive than Gao Jianwu for engineers in the aviation industry. It still works.

If you want to quickly send Yun-[-] to the sky, it is obvious that it will be faster to rely on the strong foundation of the North American aviation industry.

He does not need to manufacture the whole machine in North America, but disassembles the whole machine and completes the manufacturing of most of the subsystems in North America. As for the airframe part, it is manufactured and completed at the aviation base in Jinyang or Hankou Aviation Base. Assemble.

The joint operations business of the Allied forces did not go well, but Gao Jianwu reached a private business cooperation deal with Smith. Of course, Smith does not appear in Gao Jianwu's business map now, but these are all tacit things.

In terms of the current general environment, the two sides are close allies. Smith has no taboos about these things. He really set up a North American United Aviation Industry Corporation for Gao Jianwu. Mr. Situ and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce controlled the absolute controlling stake as the major shareholders behind the scenes. , and several influential engineers in the aviation industry introduced by Smith took up the positions of CEO/CTO respectively. The company quickly recruited talents with great fanfare, and began to develop and manufacture related subsystems according to the Gaojian Wuyun-6 subsystem design.

For this transport aircraft born out of technology in the 50s, there is no technical bottleneck at all. According to Gao Jianwu's requirements, they do not need to carry out large-scale design and checking calculations, and the manufacturing speed is naturally very fast.

During Gao Jianwu's delay of General Mike for a month, this North American airline has completed the initial formation and the digestion and absorption of several subsystem design drawings. They have already started the first Manufacturing of prototype equipment.

During this war, many products were in this mode, and Smith’s friends in the aviation industry did not find it strange. Gao Jianwu left 30% of the processing margin for this company, which made Smith’s friends in the aviation industry one by one They are very motivated. According to Gao Jianwu's production capacity plan, they don't need to worry about sales. The annual sales can reach tens of millions of dollars, and the gross profit is 300 million dollars. This is a lot of money.

Excluding the company's operating expenses and taxes, the profit in a year exceeds one million US dollars. For the company's management, this means at least tens of thousands of US dollars in dividends!

Gao Jianwu watched the projects he handed down make remarkable progress one by one during such ordinary but fulfilling days.

However, General Mike, who added tens of thousands of soldiers casualties, finally couldn't stand the pressure of his colleagues and the country.

In view of Gao Jianwu's record in the past, which was so good that he had no friends, and White House's deputy was in the middle of it, General Mike first agreed to allocate a squadron to Gao Jianwu's direct and full command as a condition, but the ownership of the ship would be returned to the Allied forces after the war.

But Gao Jianwu flatly refused.

General Mike had to give in. On the basis of giving Gao Jianwu the command of a squadron consisting of 2 cruisers and 5 destroyers, he also agreed to send 2 Fletcher destroyers to the Eighth Route after the war as the latest condition. After this After much tossing, Gao Jianwu finally accepted it reluctantly.

He has already recruited more than 700 people in the country to recruit more than 8 people from the fruit-preserved navy, which is exactly the number of crew members of the two destroyers. This is the bottom line of his psychological price for appearance, so once the conditions are negotiated, Li Yunlong accepted a full set of American equipment in Dalian Port Afterwards, [-] fully mechanized troops and Zhang Dabiao's troops were divided into two groups and began to flatten the Bangzi Peninsula.

And Gao Jianwu led Ding Wei, Chu Yunfei and others to complete the modification of American weapons from several ports such as Wanwan Island and Yongcheng. According to the scale of two attack groups and twelve attack groups, the Allied forces The transport ship began to travel to the Ryukyu Islands.

Lu Xingguo's air force has now expanded to a scale of more than 400 aircraft, divided into two clusters, the north and the south, to cooperate with the troops in battle. In the north, Lu Xingguo personally led a cluster to support Li Yunlong's actions. In the south, Ye Shaoshang led another. The air force cluster, with Wanwan Island as the air base, and the Allied Air Force together provide air support for the Ryukyu landing force.

Gao Jianwu's goal was for the Allied forces to land on Chongsheng Island, where the bloody battle lasted for more than a month. He led two large attack groups, Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei, and the Fifth Squadron assigned to him by the Allied Forces to occupy Chongsheng Island. The Nagahama that came down landed, and a temporary headquarters and logistics were quickly established.

"Commander Lin, except for the two destroyers of the Fifth Squadron that are completely controlled by our own people, every other ship must have our people as the first officer, and the attached radio and walkie-talkie will keep in constant contact." Lin Zundao, who temporarily served as the naval commander of the Fifth Squadron.

"Your only combat mission is to cooperate with our Ryukyu First Attack Group and Second Attack Group in the battle to seize the island. Except for the orders of our command, the orders of anyone else will be ignored. If there is a place to cooperate with the Allied Forces in coordinated operations , but also to issue orders through our headquarters."

"Yes, Mr. Gao, the only mission of our navy is to cooperate with the army brothers to fight!" Lin Zun replied vigorously, full of respect and even admiration for Gao Jianwu in his words!

Lin Zun is a senior naval officer that Gao Jianwu mobilized from the original fruit-preserved navy. Under the banner of Gao Jianwu’s construction of the Eighth Route Navy, Lin Zun believed in Gao Jianwu who had nothing at the time. He brought his old friends and more than 700 subordinates to Wanwan The island is on standby and familiarized with Allied ships.

From the very beginning, Gao Jianwu believed that General Mike could not bear the huge casualties and finally had to succumb to his own conditions, so he was very determined to gather the troops first, and through the relationship between Smith and General Steven, he was able to practice on Allied cruisers and destroyers.

Sure enough, when Lin Zun and the others were just getting used to it, Gao Jianwu's delaying strategy was successful, and he got two destroyers as he wished.

Therefore, even though Gao Jianwu barely knows anything about the navy, these people are still willing to regard Gao Jianwu as the father of the eight-way navy!

You must know that the two destroyers that Gao Jianwu obtained are the most cutting-edge Fletcher destroyers in the Allied Forces. These two destroyers are much stronger than the remaining fleet of Guogui. He raised his eyebrows and elated, showing great respect to Gao Jianwu.

They still don't know that Gao Jianwu has prepared more surprises for them.

After resting for a day, Gao Jianwu led Chu Yunfei and a large army to rush to the stubborn Naba, while Ding Wei led another part of the troops to attack in the direction of Anfu, but they were responsible for protecting the flanks of the main attacking troops of the Allied forces, and temporarily served as supporting role.

And Gao Jianwu took over from the Allied Forces who had suffered heavy casualties as the main force of Naba's new round of offensive.What blocked Gao Jianwu's progress was the Shuri defense line of the little devil Liu Daoman!

"The little devils concentrated their main force here. Not only did they build densely packed bunkers, trenches and barbed wire, but they also concentrated their armor and artillery in this small area. The firepower density was extremely high. At the same time, they also A lot of tunnels were dug, and suicide attacks were continuously launched through the tunnels at night, and the Allied forces suffered a great loss in the attack on the Mugang defense line.” Lieutenant General Smith, who returned to Gao Jianwu as the chief of staff, carefully shared the information with Gao Jianwu, Chu Yunfei and others explained.

"It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry to break through, we will talk about it after eliminating the firepower of the little devils one by one." Gao Jianwu unfolded the high-definition [-]D map in his mind, and the entire Chongsheng Island was displayed immediately.

While listening to Lieutenant General Smith's introduction, he corresponded with the map in his mind. He quickly anchored the combat area on the map, marked the terrain and features with the area coordinates, and slowly formed a battle plan in his mind.

以崇绳岛瘦长的地形，根本没有纵深，不但挡不住来自舰队舰炮的覆盖。高建武也不相信在自己这边攻击群48门155毫米榴弹炮、200多门105毫米榴弹炮和400多门75毫米榴弹炮炮群攻击下，小鬼子的炮兵还能闹出什么幺蛾子。

As for the 4 Sherman tank battalions, the task Gao Jianwu gave them was to clean up the positions after the artillery fire washed the ground. As for the huge army attack group, it was the last resort to drive out the little devils by pulling a net.

Gao Jianwu did not push forward the idea of ​​giving away the head from the beginning.
