My girlfriend is from 1949

Chen Huai'an grinned, his face full of smugness.

"I should be able to follow the example of my predecessors and exchange food and daily chemical products for advanced equipment such as airplanes and tanks for the new China!"

By the time of the Korean War, our soldiers will have better equipment to use.

Your recent research should have shown you that we suffered heavy losses due to our lack of air power in the early stages.

The MiG-9 fighter jet is simply no match for the US F-84 and F-80 fighter jets.

So although we also have MiG-9 fighter jets, they can only be used as training aircraft in the rear and cannot be used on the battlefield.

Later, the older brother saw that we were indeed capable of fighting.

It wasn't until 1951 that a flight squadron was dispatched to fly MiG-15s and confront the US military.

They changed the MiG-9s that were originally sold to us into MiG-15s.

If we had MiG-15 fighter jets when we first entered North Korea.

The US military doesn't dare to bomb our supply lines recklessly.

It caused huge casualties to our supply troops.

If we had airplanes, we wouldn't lose air superiority, and resupply wouldn't be so difficult.

Moreover, we not only need to replace our fighter jets, but also our Big Brother's most advanced MiG-15bis!

On the ground, the latest T-54 tanks also need to be replaced.

In the early stages of the war, the Big Brother did not have high hopes for us and was unwilling to invest.

Then we'll change it ourselves!

The older brother looks strong, but in reality, he is extremely short of supplies.

As long as we have food, they'll definitely be willing to trade!

Chen Huai'an clenched his fist, his face full of excitement.

They gave the canned food, which was supplied by the military, to their own People's Liberation Army soldiers and civilians.

The thought of exchanging what's about to expire for airplanes and tanks with the Russians is exciting.

After listening to the story, Lin Wan's pretty face showed a thoughtful expression.

After these days of research, she has gained a deeper understanding of historical events.

She also learned that most of the equipment provided as aid was not given away for free.

Instead, the equipment was purchased by China through low-interest loans, with only transportation costs or some initial equipment provided free of charge.

After the war, China repaid the relevant expenses in installments.

I used to genuinely respect my elder brother.

Now, attitudes have changed accordingly.

There is no reverence, only the exchange of interests!

In her mind, all that remained between them was a cooperative relationship.

Every time I think of the soldiers who risked their lives and made countless sacrifices, I feel a pang of heartache.

Before the start of the Second Phase Offensive, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army faced a major problem: how to ensure the supply of troops at the front.

During the first campaign, because it was an emergency entry into Korea, the supplies of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army were basically brought into Korea with the troops.

This also led to a shortage of supplies in the later stages of the first campaign, and the Soviet Union's unwillingness to send its air force to participate in the war resulted in the surrender of air superiority to the United States.

This left the Volunteer Army's supply lines completely exposed to the threat of enemy aircraft, making it extremely difficult to transport supplies to the front-line troops.

In the famous Battle of Flying Tiger Mountain, the 335th Regiment of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army successfully held back the enemy's attack.

However, due to insufficient supplies, many units of the 335th Regiment ran out of ammunition and food in the later stages of the Battle of Feihu Mountain, which brought them great difficulties.

At that time, due to the lack of supplies, there were not even candles at night, so the Chinese People's Volunteer Army could only borrow gas lamps from the Korean people for lighting.

Because of constant harassment by enemy aircraft, after lighting the lights, all the doors and windows had to be covered with blankets to prevent the enemy from detecting the lights.

However, this resulted in poor air circulation in the room, and prolonged reading of telegrams under a gas lamp could easily lead to oxygen deficiency, causing senior commanders to fall ill as a result.

During fierce battles such as the Battle of Shangganling, the short transport lines leading to the tunnels became "death zones".

The casualty rate among frontline transport workers averaged over 50%, and in some areas it even reached as high as 90%.

In some work teams, the casualty rate exceeded 50% on transport routes of only a few hundred meters, resulting in a tragic situation where "everyone who goes up dies."

All of this is because of the lack of air superiority.

If we could really trade canned goods for advanced aircraft, even if we couldn't gain air superiority, we could at least deter US military aircraft from acting so recklessly!

Lin Wanxiu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Buy it, we must buy it!"

For those inexpensive and high-quality canned goods nearing their expiration date, it's a must!

The two received the goods at the warehouse and then drove home.

The system won't be fully cooled down until tomorrow, and another batch of cotton-padded clothes will be delivered tomorrow.

Therefore, usually all the supplies in the warehouse are put into the treasure chest at once before crossing over.

When the two returned home, Chen Huai'an went to the storage room and dragged out a huge cardboard box.

The box was neatly filled with books.

Lin Wan blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "What are these books...?"

The box contained many books, including "A History of Modern China," "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual," and "The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."

Some of the books were laminated.

You can't read it without tearing the outer film.

Lin Wan picked up a copy of "A History of Modern China" and looked at the plastic-sealed film with a puzzled expression.

She already knew that modern things almost always pursued refinement.

Even the book cover is exquisite and beautiful.

However, the plastic cover of this modern history book in my hand is extremely rough, and it must have been made by myself.

really

Chen Huai'an explained, "I sealed it because I didn't want you to look at it."

Lin Wan blinked, her confusion deepening on her pretty face.

After more than two months of study, she has learned a lot about history.

Even during that special period, I searched for information through various channels and have basically gained a understanding of it.

Why haven't you shown it to her yet?

Moreover, she suddenly realized that Chen Huai'an hadn't told her about any historical events since the first day she transmigrated.

She wasn't even told about the important fact that her older brother had passed away.

She learned about that period of history by consulting relevant materials.

Chen Huai'an had specifically instructed that even when returning to face Director Zheng and other trusted comrades, they must not reveal anything about what would happen in the future.

Although she was somewhat confused, she did as instructed.

All the documents sent to Beiping were encrypted, and even Director Zheng could not see them.

She understands that she doesn't want her comrades to know.

Why won't you let her look at these books?

Chen Huai'an narrowed his eyes, his expression turning serious.

Sometimes, it's best not to know or participate in things!

I deliberately laminated some of the sensitive books to send a signal.

You haven't read any of these sensitive books, and you don't know what's inside.

What you're doing is very simple: you're just a middleman between the two worlds!

Lin Wan's pretty face also turned serious; she understood Chen Huai'an's meaning perfectly well.

Everything I did was for her.

"Yes, I understand." She nodded slightly, a warm feeling rising in her heart.

……

The next morning

In an office of the National Security Bureau, Lu Tong, a young female police officer, was intently checking documents and conducting spot checks to see if any companies were engaged in shady dealings.

Gradually, his brows furrowed, and he picked up the documents on the table and strode towards another office.

dong dong dong~

He knocked on the door and asked, "Director!"
