Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1418, introduction

"They're all crazy!"

"They're all crazy!"

"madman!"

Yakovsky's roar echoed in the war room.

This guy was drinking. His eyes were red.

Zhang Yong sat quietly.

Don't want to talk.

Because telling the truth will offend people.

But he didn't want to tell lies.

With so many planes on the ground destroyed, Yakovsky must bear the greatest responsibility.

He actually didn't order all the planes to take off and evade.

Could it be that he was worried that he would be shot down by Japanese invaders in the air?

Or do you feel that you are sure to kill the twelve incoming enemy planes and protect the safety of the airport?

There is no point in delving into it now.

It can only be said that the current combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army is a bit stretched.

Senior commanders, especially those above the general level, have problems.

Thinking of the increasingly violent movement in the country, those experienced senior generals seemed to understand that their lives were in danger.

Those who could fight and those who knew how to fight were all killed by the Soviets themselves.

The rest are all just trying to protect themselves, or just trying to flatter others.

result…

Mustache thought the opportunity had come.

A blitzkrieg that started very well indeed. The momentum is overwhelming.

But he didn't expect that what he did would wake up the Soviets. Now you understand what it means that real gold is not afraid of fire.

Those who came up through the movement were killed one after another on the battlefield.

Those who can survive are all capable. Able to fight. So the great movement ended naturally.

This is how talents like Rokossovsky emerge.

Start with a letter of appointment. Personnel and equipment all depend on picking up. Then play a super fast promotion to marshal.

He was still a major general in 1941, and a marshal in 44.

Rockets are not that fast.

Unfortunately it's not the fastest. There was Vasilevsky who was promoted faster.

However, others really know how to fight!

It's like he is Zhang Yong. Get three Guoguang Medals at random.

Are others jealous?

certainly.

But it didn't work.

You go ahead.

You also shoot down a bunch of Japanese fighter planes!

"open!"

Yakovsky suddenly stopped roaring.

Zhang Yong then slowly opened his eyes. He looked sideways at the violent bear-like opponent.

In terms of combat ability, the other party may not be able to do it.

However, one good thing about the other party is that they are more generous.

Since the Soviets cannot publicly display their results, give them all to Zhang Yong.

There is also the Red Star Medal, which is also given on demand.

Man, it's so complicated.

"Davarisi, tell me." Zhang Yong responded calmly.

"We want revenge!" Yakovsky raised his fists with a fierce expression, "We want to bomb Taiyuan Airport!"

"Okay. I will cooperate fully." Zhang Yong nodded. Give the other person reassurance.

At this moment, it’s okay not to give it! Otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Wounded beasts are the most sensitive. It is also the easiest to attack people. Or an indiscriminate attack.

If he refuses now, the other party will definitely go to Chiang Kai-shek.

Old Chiang Kai-shek is also asking for help from others and has to bow his head!

Fortunately, it's not today.

Because the Soviet SB2 bomber was killed.

To retaliate, more bombers must be dispatched from home. It is estimated to take several days.

"Davarish!"

Yakovsky came up and hugged Zhang Yong warmly.

Zhang Yong responded politely with a hug.

It took a while before they separated.

"Bring it!"

Yakovsky shouted.

Someone brought a tray. It is covered with red silk cloth.

A Red Star Medal is placed on top of the red silk cloth. Brand new. Exudes a metallic luster.

Soviet medals are very important. It's definitely heavy in your hand.

"open!"

"I am here."

Zhang Yong stood up.

Came to Yakovsky.

Yakovsky wore the medal on his chest.

Then…

"Xida Lin is with you!"

"Xida Lin is with you!"

Yakovsky declared enthusiastically. while shouting slogans.

Everyone around applauded enthusiastically. Followed by shouting slogans. Each voice was louder than the last.

Zhang Yong:…

The big movement is indeed extraordinary.

Each of them is a bit of a nightmare.

Fear.

real.

Fortunately, I am not the target of exercise. Otherwise it will be miserable.

Don't dare to think too much. He received the medal respectfully with both hands. Said some words of thanks. But the slogan is really hard to say.

He didn't actually know his loving father very well. Let’s talk about it later when we have a chance.

"Zhang, wait for our call at any time."

"good."

Zhang Yong took the opportunity to say goodbye.

The DC-3 transport plane from Chengdu Airport arrived.

The radar map showed that the pilot was a stranger. No sign. But the technology should be very good.

Get out of the war room.

I saw Chen Cheng coming in a hurry.

"Shao Long."

"Minister Chen, is something wrong?"

"Follow me."

"good."

Zhang Yong followed Chen Cheng.

Get in the car.

Depart the airport.

Came to an unknown area.

It feels like a guest house from later generations. Or is it like someone's mansion?

There are many guards around. All have guns.

In addition to the Chinese guards, there are also some Soviet guards.

Zhang Yong was silent. No questions asked.

Lao Jiang is here.

We'll talk about everything after we meet.

"This way."

"good."

Enter a large room.

The room is very luxuriously decorated. Crystal chandelier. Persian rug.

The Soviets seem to be very particular about this.

There is a long conference table in the middle of the house. North-south direction.

On both sides of the conference table were people from China and the Soviet Union. It seems like they are negotiating?

Still, the atmosphere was quiet. There was no sign of an argument.

pity. It's not a meeting between Di Lin and Luo Minghai.

Otherwise, he, Zhang Yong, would have the opportunity to give full play to his combat effectiveness.

With his current arm strength, if he smashes an ashtray casually, he can knock someone unconscious on the spot.

Chiang Kai-shek is not here.

But the radar map showed someone in the next room. Maybe it was Chiang Kai-shek. He was listening in from the next room.

After all, he is the head of state, the king of a country, and it is impossible for him to end personally.

Listening in person shows that he cares.

Otherwise, Chen Cheng only needs to report the results.

The main force in the negotiations was He Yingqin.

The other personnel around him are also from the Military and Political Department.

Indeed, the Ministry of Military Affairs knows best how much and what kind of assistance is needed. They also made the list.

Zhang Yong couldn't imagine what he was doing by inviting him here. Is it a Russian translation?

Definitely not. Because there is an interpreter on site.

"Minister He."

"Shao Long, sit down!"

"good."

Zhang Yong sat down.

Peace of mind. Don't be impatient or impatient.

Never mind. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with earth. Nothing.

People who know the overall situation of history are so calm. There is absolutely no need to worry about gains and losses.

No matter how difficult the process is, the final victory belongs to us. The Chinese nation will once again stand tall in the east of the world.

Born under the red flag and growing up in the spring breeze, this is how I feel full of superiority.

"Minister He, call me..."

"Read the memo first."

"good."

Zhang Yong concentrated his energy.

Read the memo silently.

Then his eyes lit up.

It was actually an agreement to introduce the production line of the Yi-16 fighter jet.

Look carefully. It is indeed I-16, not I-15!

It is a relatively advanced monoplane!

It’s not a biplane with inferior performance!

According to the agreement, the Soviet Union will assist in the construction of two aircraft production lines in Lanzhou or elsewhere.

Machinery equipment, production materials, technical personnel, and test pilots were all provided by the Soviet Union.

The Chinese side is responsible for providing the site and factory buildings. And logistics.

There was no mention of the number of aircraft produced under the agreement. Feel like there is no limit?

"Is there still this matter?"

Secretly surprised. Overjoyed.

The history books don’t seem to have written about this?

wrong.

Some declassified information is mentioned.

They are all complaining about the incompetence of the national air force. How short-sighted.

Others, the Soviets, are willing to provide machinery and equipment, production materials, and a series of other supporting facilities to help build aircraft production lines.

result…

was rejected.

Rejected…

Absolutely…

The reason is that it is too slow to produce it yourself. It is not as good as the Soviet Union providing it directly.

You will fly the produced aircraft directly over. We can take it over and use it. Then go straight into the battlefield.

If you want to produce it yourself, it will be a lot of trouble. It takes a long time.

Suddenly two words came to mind -

It is better to buy than to make.

Buying is worse than renting.

Why does it feel so familiar?

Thoughtful.

Quite emotional.

"Shaolong, what do you think?"

"I'm very much in favor of the introduction."

Zhang Yong directly stated his views. No equivocation at all.

That's right. He is very much in favor of the introduction of the I-16 production line.

Even eager to execute it immediately.

You must know that that is the latest I-16, not the I-15!

Even the I-15 is a dream come true!

He didn't know why his loving father was suddenly so generous. However, opportunities must be seized.

Why?

Because the world situation is changing rapidly.

At present, the Soviets are still willing to vigorously assist China. I hope to use China to restrain the Japanese invaders.

Therefore, even the Yi-16 fighter production line is willing to give away.

That’s right, it’s a gift. No money required. free.

The loving father at this moment is truly a loving father. Not a penny.

The main target is one, I will provide the money and weapons, and you will provide people to help me deal with the Japanese invaders.

Honeymoon period.

real. A proper honeymoon period.

When mixing honey with oil, he is willing to give you whatever you want.

Just like the 156 big projects later...

However, the honeymoon period is always short-lived.

Next year's Nomenkan conflict will change many people and many things.

After the disastrous defeat in the Nomenkan conflict, the Japanese invaders realized that it was impossible to go north, so they changed their strategy.

Take the initiative to make peace with the Soviet Union. The two sides signed a non-aggression pact.

Then China was ruthlessly abandoned.

Soviet aid was gone. The air fleet aiding China will also be withdrawn.

Still buying it at this time...

You can only buy **** to eat.

U.S. aid did not start again, and Soviet aid was cut off again.

1940 can be said to be the most desperate year. For Lao Jiang.

International aid does not.

Lao Wang established another branch.

Therefore, how important it is to have your own aircraft production line.

The engine is the most technically difficult and probably cannot be produced domestically. It can only be imported from the Soviet Union. But other parts can be produced!

As long as we can find a way to get a sufficient number of engines before the Soviet Union and Japan sign a non-aggression treaty, we can continue to produce them in the future.

No matter what, you can't refuse such a good thing.

"But…

"It's nothing. I am willing to take personal responsibility for this matter."

"Funding..."

"I'm in charge of raising funds."

"All right."

He Yingqin agreed.

Since Zhang Yong has everything, so be it.

In fact, the main reason is that I don’t want to spend money. The preliminary work requires a lot of money.

Without hundreds of thousands of dollars, factories and supporting equipment and facilities cannot be built. Including coal power plants and the like.

The aircraft production lines provided by the Soviets did not require money. But coal power plants and the like will definitely require additional money.

How can you produce without electricity?

"Shaolong, are you really willing to be responsible for the introduction of the aircraft production line?"

"willing."

Zhang Yong answered affirmatively.

It was judged that Chen Cheng came to help the committee inquire.

According to Zhang Yong's judgment, Chiang Kai-shek must have wanted it too.

It's free after all. Don't want it for nothing.

It's rare that the Soviets are so kind. Give a free gift package.

However, other aspects do require a lot of funds. Lao Jiang didn’t want to pay either.

In other words, he really has no way to pay for it.

The treasury has long since bottomed out.

That is to say, in this era, there is no such thing as a fiscal deficit.

Otherwise, the national government's fiscal deficit may already be astronomical.

It is said that New China is poor and white.

At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek was almost completely penniless.

"Then you are responsible for signing!"

"good."

Zhang Yong did not shirk responsibility either.

Since it is your own decision, of course you must sign it yourself.

So I spread out the memo. Where signatures are required, sign all for confirmation. Also indicate the date.

That's right. It was my decision, Zhang Yong. I, Zhang Yong, will be responsible to the end.

However, it is indeed a bit far to produce in Lanzhou. The environment here is not very good either.

How about Baoji?

It feels pretty good.

Also the rear area.

Building an aircraft factory is not a big problem.

After all, we are on the Longhai Railway. Can be easily transported by rail.

Of course, a memorandum is just a rough agreement. The specific details will be studied carefully in the future.

The Soviet Union will definitely send experts to help with the inspection.

Zhang Yong has seen the sudden birth.

Therefore, you only need to prepare the funds.

How much funding is needed?

Five hundred thousand oceans? Pretty much.

That may be all in the early stage.

If necessary later. More to come later.

“A pleasure to work with.”

“A pleasure to work with.”

The two sides exchanged memos.

Zhang Yong suddenly saw He Yingqin's wink.

"Minister He?"

"Shao Long, we need to provide all the fuel."

"Oil?"

"Yes. They don't provide fuel there."

"OK."

Zhang Yong didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

Oil…

I have!

wrong. Yes, the system does.

When you think of delivering oil, you must rely on railways!

This side of the Great Northwest has no rivers and cannot be reached by ship. It can only be said that it relies on railway transportation.

But it's okay.

Since the system can even organize military columns, what's the point of sending some fuel?

A piece of cake.

He Yingqin was about to speak but stopped.

He feels that oil is a big problem.

Anyway, the Military and Administrative Department currently has no solution.

Since Zhang Yong has been reminded and Zhang Yong did not object, it is Zhang Yong's responsibility.

Zhang Yong tilted his head and thought for a moment.

So miserable.

I have given myself extra time.

It was originally not his own business, but he took the initiative to take over it.

Finished...

From now on it will be impossible to lie flat even if I want to.

However, if he had it to do over again, he would still take over the matter.

A little bit of hardship, a little bit of fatigue, it’s all small things.

The important thing is to build an aircraft manufacturing factory in China to benefit future generations!

Just thinking about it makes me excited. I feel like I did the right thing.

"Ahem."

"Ahem."

The people in the room came out.

It was indeed a commission.
