Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Huanghe's current state of composure made Lao Dai, who was secretly observing from the sidelines, feel extremely happy, and even felt like he could win back a victory through the Lend-Lease Act.

 This new friend I made has many advantages.

 He is not only well-informed but also a highly educated scientific researcher. At the same time, he has also made achievements in diplomacy, governance, etc., and is somewhat like a hexagonal warrior.



 The most irritating thing is that this guy has a very bad personality when getting along with me.

 Others prefer to slap people in the face, but he likes to show his face close to his face and open his **** invisibly. He will come up with something new every time they meet.

 In a sense, this is even more annoying than a Brit flashing the reverse V sign.

 Can you blame yourself for surrendering? At that time, he was just a small brigadier general. He basically had no say in the army, and he did not even have the power to lead the armored forces to take the initiative to attack.

There are head debts and owners. Whoever signed in the buse of Fukan, you go to who you can find.

Thinking of this, Lao Dai joked in a slightly content tone:

“Mr. Huang, please calm down first and wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth.”

"Does the mere navy excite you so much? If it doesn't work out, you can go to North Africa with me in two days, and I'll have someone free up the position of Governor of Algeria for you."

“When the time comes, get on whichever of our Free French warships you want.”

Facing the "ridicule" from his friend, Huang He waved his hand casually.

As a time traveler who came back from later generations, he has always been interested in navy-related matters, so he was fascinated when he just saw the Lend-Lease Act between the two parties.

 No other reason, just because the coastline of the motherland is too long, and it is urgent to establish a systematic and professional navy.

  In later generations, the helplessness of land guns on ships, the pain of having no defense at sea, and the memory that the naval commander had to borrow a boat from local fishermen to inspect the island, should always remain in his heart.

Of course, Huang He has always been a man who keeps his mouth shut. Looking at his French friend who looked proud, he couldn't help but complain:

“Old Dai, today I finally learned what it means to be shameless and invincible. Just in terms of your ability to eat soft food and eat hard, you can definitely be ranked among the top five in the world.”

“You and the Viet Minh definitely took advantage of this Lend-Lease Act. Let’s not talk about the advisory team and equipment prices. The air routes in the agreement alone will consume countless manpower and material resources.”

“What’s more, you Free France only have a few warships now, and the Bane and Richelieu are not in your battle order. From my point of view, you came to the Republic of China with nothing.”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Dai immediately felt embarrassed.

From his perspective, Desan is currently carrying a thunderous force directly into Mao Zi's heart on the eastern front of Europe. If General Dong hadn't taken action in time at the critical moment, we might have been pushed behind the AA line.

The situation on the African battlefield is also unclear. Montgomery and Rommel will not be able to tell the winner for a while.

 In this world war, neither side dares to pat its chest and guarantee that it can achieve final victory.

If the Free French fail to successfully counterattack, then the terms of the Lend-Lease Act, except for the naval advisory group, are just like what Huang He said, they are all empty promises.

 After a while, Lao Dai adjusted his state and mood, and said with firm eyes again:

“Dear Huang, we are all soldiers who protect our homeland and our country. Shouldn’t we fight with the awareness that success will come if we don’t succeed, and with an indomitable attitude? If you are timid before fighting, you are not a hero!”

“Although the road ahead will definitely be difficult, we will definitely defeat Germany and all other enemies. As for the surface ships and naval advisory group, since you have promised it, you will definitely do it!

“Besides, we are comrades! You must understand the power contained in this word better than I do.”

As the leader of a force, Lao Dai naturally knew that his side had taken a huge advantage in the agreement, and his allies were more or less willing to sell their kidneys to support France.

This time when he came to the Republic of China, he had no idea of ​​contacting the Desperate Fox at first. Instead, he went straight to the mountain city to find Baldhead to discuss matters related to Southeast Asia.

 After all, there are two big provinces between the border area and Indochina. Even if the other side has money and people, there is no need to rush.

Unsurprisingly, Lao Dai’s preserved fruit journey was not smooth.

Facing the French people who came to beg for food, although Baldhead gave the greatest respect to his allies on the surface, he would forcefully change the subject whenever assistance was involved, like a businessman who was unable to get in touch with the world.

From the perspective of the Guoju executives, the British and Americans provided real money and equipment.

 The former transports a large amount of materials through the Burma Highway, and the latter is our own guiding beacon now and in the future.

It would be excusable if they asked us to send an expeditionary force to Southeast Asia. Now that Free France has fallen into the fields of Africa, what qualifications do you have to ask us to come out?

 Even if I am bald and honest, I can't possibly pay for or send people to help you fight the war.

Of course, Lao Dai’s trip was not entirely fruitless.

Before leaving, Baldhead verbally promised on a personal basis that if the Japanese were defeated and fled in the future, the preserved fruits could be taken care of before the French sent troops to take over Indochina.

With no choice but to hold on to his last hope, Lao Dai secretly went to the Eighth Office of the mountain city to try his luck with the ideological crusaders.

 But I never thought that this trip would actually yield unexpected results. The well-meaning comrades not only agreed to send an advisory team, but were even willing to sign the Lend-Lease Act and provide certain assistance.

You must know that it is an air route of two thousand kilometers. Even the motherland in its heyday may not be able to do this kind of thing.

After hearing the word "comrade", Huang He looked at Lao Dai up and down with meaningful eyes, then he put away his playful smile and said:

“I don’t know why the Desperate Foxes and the ideological crusaders made such a decision, but now that the Lend-Lease Act and the Agreement have been officially signed, we will definitely fulfill them with quality and quantity.”

“You should also work harder in Africa and strive to integrate forces to take Vichy as soon as possible. I am still waiting to see Richelieu fight Nagato.”

Although Lao Dai did not tell the reason for joining the Viet Minh, Huang He, who was familiar with history and had a good strategic vision, had already guessed the general outline of the matter.

 In the original timeline, Free France did not pay attention to Indochina.

 After all, their homeland and navy were gone, and they simply did not have the energy or ability to reach out to Southeast Asia, let alone a certain number of Japanese troops there.

 Instead of trying to find ways to send troops in a thankless manner, it would be better to wait for the United States to jump islands and attack. But now the situation has changed. In the most difficult days, France chose a path to fight the entire Europa alone.

 If the plan succeeds, they can not only restore their former glory, but also achieve their great ideals.

As a result, Lao Dai must unite all the forces that can be combined and quietly accumulate his own strength as much as possible in the chaotic days.

 Otherwise, even if the counterattack on the homeland is successful, France will inevitably continue to decline.

 In World War I, Daiying transformed from a world hegemon to a regional hegemon. In this war, it is estimated that Britain will be reduced to an isolated island.

France does not want to experience this kind of weakness firsthand.

Hearing Huang He's words, Lao Dai suppressed his inner excitement, then took the other person's hand and said:

 “Okay! It seems that my choice is indeed the right one!”

"When we last met, I said you were a businessman. Now I take it back. You are a noble person who is free from vulgar taste!"

Hearing this, Huang He waved his hands repeatedly. He was not someone who would behave after getting an advantage.

From the perspective of the current era, this Lend-Lease Bill is definitely a big loss for the border region. But from the perspective of future generations' experience, my family is simply making a fortune.

 Others don’t know the outcome of World War II, how can he, a time-traveler, not know?

 Don't look at the fact that the Free French navy is now very poor, with only three or two cats and dogs.

 But as long as we wait patiently for two years, the Bain and Richelieu and a number of surface ships will return.

As long as Lao Dai fulfills the terms of the Lend-Lease Act normally, the Eighth Route Army only needs to pay a certain amount of infantry and artillery weapons in exchange for the right to use a battle fleet led by an aircraft carrier and a top battleship for ten years.

Although the Bane is old and even the hangar is pitifully small, it is still an aircraft carrier with combat effectiveness.

 In another year, all countries will discover the fact that beyond-visual-range naval warfare is the way to go. By then, no matter how powerful surface ships are, aircraft carriers will be their tactical center.

What's more, when the People's Navy equips the Liaoning ship, it will be seventy years later.

A Lend-Lease Act can allow the border areas to possess aircraft carriers more than half a century ahead of schedule. This is not just Qin Shihuang's touch of the switch: he has won. Ten years is enough time for the Navy to train a combat-effective force.

 As for the advisory group, it is even more important in Huang He’s eyes.

Although he had just had a detailed chat with the Crusaders who had no ideology, he did not believe that an all-powerful **** who could write a treatise on conquering Mongolia would not be able to see how chaotic the South China Sea would be in the future.

 Settling a main force regiment now, wouldn’t it be a lot more proactive when the war is over and the borders are redrawn?

While Huang He was analyzing the pros and cons of the Lend-Lease Act, Lao Dai suddenly nudged him with his elbow, and then asked curiously:

“Speaking of which, how on earth do your Eighth Route Army plan to open up an air route? As far as I know, the distance from your border area to Gaoping is two thousand kilometers.”

“Now the two provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan do not belong to you, so even if you want to take over, there is nothing you can do.”

As soon as these words came out, Huang He hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

The man in front of him is already an important partner in the border area. Even if he doesn't tell him about the air supremacy transport aircraft, others will tell him.

  It's just a matter of sooner or later.

“We have a transport aircraft with a maximum range of 6,276 kilometers. If you set off from the border area, you can make a round trip in nine hours.”

“The only thing we need to worry about is the **** issue, but the Japanese don’t have many fighter jets in the Republic of China. During transportation, they should launch a large-scale battle to attract the attention of the enemy’s army aviation.”

“If we wait another year, we can even develop and manufacture a heavy-duty fighter **** with a range of more than 4,000 kilometers and a speed of not less than 700 kilometers per hour.”

 “I’ve already thought of a name for it, it’s called Bumblebee!”

Hearing this, Lao Dai looked at the Yellow River with a crazy look.

 A transport aircraft with a maximum range of 6276 kilometers? The speed is not less than 400 kilometers per hour? What kind of incredible technology is this? This kind of thing has never been heard of in Britain, the United States, or the Soviet Union.

 This is something that humans can make?

As for the heavy fighter with a range of more than 4,000 kilometers and a top speed of no less than 700 kilometers per hour, Lao Dai even thought Huang He was a lunatic.

  If there really is such a thing, then Dai Ying's handsome warrior and Chou's P38 should simply stop the production line now. Wouldn't it be better to just come to the Republic of China and queue up to place an order to buy an aircraft?

Facing the doubts from the new comrades, Huang He showed a disdainful expression.

“What age is it, and you are still questioning the R&D capabilities of our border area.”

“Now if you ask people from Super Marine to come to Taiyuan, they will have to kneel down and learn from me how to upgrade the Spitfire. In terms of the strength of the aero engine, it depends on our Shaanxi Aircraft Company.”

“For specific details, you should wait for the Air Force of our Eighth Route Army to give specific plans.”

"All right."

The heavy fighter that Huang He just mentioned is not the third-generation fighter of the Chou Kingdom in later generations. The Hornet he calls is the final upgraded version of the Mosquito fighter.

 It is one of the products after this system upgrade and requires a military factory recognized by the system as a fighter manufacturer to unlock it.

As a piston fighter at the end of World War II, it can carry four Mark 5 Western artillery pieces and two thousand-pound aerial bombs, and can fly at a maximum speed of 780 kilometers per hour in level flight. It is definitely a pioneer in long-distance air transport. The perfect choice for your route.

 After finishing the serious chat, it was already time for lunch.

 Huang He took Lao Dai, who was still in shock, out of the room, and the two were going to have a meal together in the canteen of the headquarters.

On the way, he suddenly thought of something very important, and then asked slightly nervously:

“You should have come with the Viet Minh, right? Did that old Hu mention who he planned to invite as the leader of the advisory group?”

“It seems to be a major general named Chen, I’m not sure about the details.” (End of chapter)
