Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 175 Believe it or not, it depends on yourself

Temporary capital.

The Director of Office 8 secretly met with Ambassador Gauss and General Shi.

"Are you talking about fantasy? Damn it," Ambassador Gauss said exaggeratedly.

I am totally unacceptable what the Director of Office 8 said.

"We are negotiating, sir. We are still negotiating." Ambassador Gauss said with some contempt. "We can't fight without declaring war. This is an international rule. They can't ignore international rules. If they do this, they will be doomed!"

"Mr. Gauss, they have already occupied Annan, and now all of Southeast Asia is under their control. You have cut off their oil supply, so they have to take it themselves. I believe you will soon see a large number of Japanese soldiers heading south to Southeast Asia." The director of the Eighth Office said calmly, "This is the top-secret intelligence we have obtained. In fact, the Japanese headquarters has made up its mind to go south. Since signing the neutrality treaty with the Big Bear in the north in April, the Kwantung Army has no pressure."

"Our information is very specific. The Combined Fleet has already begun its pre-war preparations. They plan to divide into two large aircraft carrier fleets to launch a surprise attack on the Pacific Fleet in early December. The two fleets will be led by Yamamoto and Nagumo respectively." The director of the Eighth Office even revealed all the core aircraft carriers and battleships of the two fleets provided by Ren Zhong.

"But how did you get such valuable information?" General Shi, who was standing next to him, thought for a while and ignored Ambassador Gauss's questioning. Instead, he asked a key question.

"General Shi, this is a secret of ours. It concerns the safety of many of our people." The director of the Eighth Office directly refused to reveal the source of the information. "Whether you believe it or not, we will know the result in early December. Considering the poor confidentiality of the information on the Temporary Capital Security Committee, we have only contacted you two on this matter to ensure that the information is not leaked."

"In view of the seriousness of the incident, it is recommended that you use the new password to communicate with Washington whenever possible when delivering this message."

"No, we will not contact Washington. Such information is of no value at all," Ambassador Gauss refused.

"Well, we are fulfilling our duty as allies and sharing intelligence with you. If you choose to ignore it, we are sorry. We just hope that Ambassador Gauss will not regret it in a few days." The director of the Eighth Office was a little tired. It was really painful to deal with such a person. Now the Eighth Office was not ranked in the eyes of Ambassador Gauss, so it was normal to question him and not trust him.

But the news was so important that for the sake of their alliance, the director of the Eighth Office reluctantly contacted them through an intermediary to arrange a meeting.

This scene was as expected, and the director of Office 8 was ready to leave.

"Wait, sir, what you said has no source, but it is so specific. We need more information to verify it. Please be sure to provide the source of the information, is it the Xiaorizi Headquarters or the Combined Fleet?" General Shi stared at the face of the Director of the Eighth Office, as if he wanted to see something.

"General Shi, I'm sorry, but we can't reveal more information." The director of the Eighth Office shook his head. "The main reason I met with you today was for this matter. Now that the matter is settled, I'll take my leave."

Frankly speaking, he didn't know the source of the news. He also wanted to know the source of the news, but there was no way to do it. The information sent by the staff group was so much, and he couldn't help. For the Eighth Route Army, this matter was certainly gratifying. After all, they were allies. The more strength the allies could retain, the more strength they would involve the Japanese. But if they didn't believe it, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't force it.

There is no exchange of benefits in this matter, it is just a free gift. If they don't cherish it, then that is their problem.

After the Border Region General Staff analyzed and deduced the information provided by Ren Zhong, they had to say that what Ren Zhong said was very likely. Even if they didn't understand the navy, they knew how terrifying it was to face the attack of 12 aircraft carriers.

The news was still passed back to Washington. General Shi was a soldier and knew the importance of intelligence work. Even if such a thing was proven to be false, if it was true, the loss would be irreparable.

However, it is not known where the message was finally delivered, or whether the top brass of the Joint Chiefs of Staff paid attention to it. According to the message Ren Zhong received, on December 12, the Combined Fleet launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor as scheduled, engulfing the entire Pearl Harbor in flames.

However, not many people noticed that a week before the Japanese sneak attack, the Pacific Fleet's four new battleships, California, Maryland, Tennessee, and West Virginia, were quietly ordered to go to Darwin Port in Australia. As for the three aircraft carriers, they did not stay in the port, just like history.

Ren Zhong did not have the information channels of this time and space, so naturally he did not know the news of the four elite battleships, but he was not discouraged. He would not care too much about the affairs of the Rogue Eagle family as they were too far away.

Ren Zhong was not even close to being able to do that and didn't want to join in the fun.

But the result was just like history. After being beaten, the Rogue Eagle declared war cleanly and efficiently, and increased its aid to the Asian theater. I don't know if it was the influence of the news from the Eighth Office, but General Shi secured a batch of communication equipment for the border area, allowing the border area to communicate directly with the US garrison headquarters.

For Ren Zhong, it is better to rely on himself than on others.

By this time, the 107 rocket had entered mass production and was renamed the Red Star H12 rocket launcher. Soon after, the Japanese Type 41 mountain gun was successfully copied and named the Red Star S41 mountain gun.

With Ren Zhong's help from the main world, the composition of 35CrNiMoV alloy steel was provided by Professor Hu Rentao with accurate local material formula and process. Ren Zhong succeeded in smelting it through open-hearth furnace in the steel plant affiliated to the Border Area Liming Research Institute. Although the output was not high, only about 10 tons a month, this output was enough to meet the gun barrel needs of dozens of mountain cannons.

当然现在不仅仅是山炮需要这种特殊钢，新开发的20毫米高射机炮红星G20也需要这种高质量合金钢，这门G20机炮未来毫无疑问也将会是山寨P51D主力武器，按照任重的规划，P51D的6挺12.7毫米重机枪，将简化成为2门G20机炮和4门7.92毫米MG3航空型机枪。

These are not like mortar and rocket launcher barrels, which can be tolerated. The high speed and high chamber pressure place very high demands on steel, otherwise the lifespan will be very short.

In addition, in terms of artillery, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun has been delayed by Ren Zhong. In his opinion, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, which is extremely difficult to produce now, is not as efficient as directly producing the M2 105mm howitzer, so the next focus will be on the 105mm howitzer. If the plan catches up with the progress of tractors and agricultural tricycles, the time will come for the border area's heavy weapons to undergo a qualitative change.

Ren Zhong is serious about revenge!
