Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 398: Lao Ma, you have to make another trip

 Lengfeng City, General Staff Operations Conference Room.

Throughout the Second World War, the north always attached great importance to the construction and application of railway hubs.

● Big Beard has repeatedly emphasized in high-level internal meetings that railway transportation is one of the important material factors that determine the outcome of the war.

 It is precisely because of the developed and uninterrupted transportation network between various regions that the old men can get the aid materials and weapons and equipment sent by Ba Ye in the shortest possible time.

“The reason that brings us all together today is simple.”

“I would like to hear your views on this batch of new weapons, especially the results after comparing them with the same type of equipment from the British and Ugly countries. Your impressions of use are very important and related to the formulation of future counterattack plans.”

“By the way, SDL comrades also attach great importance to this matter.”

“There will be someone taking notes throughout this meeting, and he will personally read every word you said afterwards.”

Ever since Yamaguchi Tawen staged a big drama in the Pacific region, A Chou has been somewhat distracted for a while, and his assistance to allies has been visibly reduced.

The battles in North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and Southeast Asia kept the British Royal Fleet in a state of exhaustion at all times.

The British tanks and fighter planes now appearing on the battlefield on the Eastern Front in Europe have made the enemy aware of the existence of the Arctic Ocean shipping lanes.

No one knows whether Desan will be eager to prove the strength of its naval surface ships and directly send the aircraft carrier fleet that has just completed training to intercept.

 With Zeppelin and Tirpitz who had just entered service, Redel was very eager for a large-scale naval battle.

Perhaps the above situation will improve to a certain extent in the future.

 But even if Maozi is willing to wait, Desan cannot remain indifferent. Even a half-assed military strategist like Mustache knows what it means to kill you while you are sick.

With the idea of ​​preparing for the worst in everything, Big Beard already had plans in mind to find a new home.

 Obviously, the sudden rise of Ba Ye is his goal, which is one of the reasons why he initiated this product exchange meeting.

The opening remarks of his chief of general staff made the representatives of the army and air force in the combat conference room sit upright, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at them.

 After a moment, an aviation group captain was the first to speak under pressure from his superiors:

“This batch of fighter jets sent by the allies are very outstanding, especially the fifty improved Spitfires. Their performance is simply dozens of miles ahead of the P39 and P40. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a complete explosion.”

“The Hurricane Kai is also very popular within us. Due to personal preferences and combat styles, many people prefer to drive them to participate in battles.”

“If conditions permit, I hope that superiors can focus the resources of the Lend-Lease Act on two advanced fighter jets. For other insignificant parts, we can consider suspending or stopping the supply.”

 That's right, these hurricanes and spitfires sent to the north are all specially upgraded versions produced by the Border Area Weapons Experimental Research Bureau.

 First of all, considering that the Maozi suffered a lot of hidden losses in radio equipment and technology in the early days of the war, Huanghe equipped each fighter plane with an ultra-high frequency radio.

 Excellent transmitters and receivers, coupled with up to six available frequency bands, directly increase the reliability of the equipment.

  In comparison, the radio equipment currently used by the northern air force is very backward. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call it industrial waste.

The quality of their circuit boards is extremely poor, and they will fail as long as they are slightly damp or exposed to low temperatures.

With such a hip-slim equipment, it is God’s blessing that it can maintain normal communication, not to mention the guidance instructions for multi-band communication and air-ground coordination.

  Secondly, in terms of firepower, these hurricanes and spitfires have also received a wave of upgrades.

 The reason Daiying's early monoplane fighters had weak firepower was because most of them only considered air superiority.

 But the Eighth Route Army Air Force is different. We have a unit specifically responsible for close ground support. Finding opportunities to lick the ground is a fine tradition engraved in our bones.

It is precisely because of the above situation that these fighter jets sent to the north had their ancestral 7.7mm Brownings removed and replaced them with Laoganma with 250 rounds of ammunition per gun.

 Taking into account the special battlefield environment on the Eastern Front, the Huanghe special edition fighter is also equipped with a weapon heating system.

These equipments with strong firepower and excellent radios are the dream machine of amateurs at the moment when A Chou's assistance is unstable, and before the new talents such as our La 5 and Yak 9 are officially put into service.

The reports from the frontline soldiers made Lao Zhu turn his attention to the top brass of the Air Force for verification.

“This comrade has been fighting against the Germans since October last year. He is the backbone elite of our 126th Combat Aviation Regiment. He has recorded four kills so far.”

“As a pilot who has flown La-3, MiG-3 and P40 Tomahawk, what he just said is absolutely credible.” Hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction. While he arranged for his staff to take the time to record the meeting, he motioned for the Army to also send a representative to speak.

 After receiving the instruction, the top commander of the 30th Group Army stood up directly. He took out a 40-mm gun engraved with the Northern Industries logo from under the table and said:

“While air superiority is important, the Army also needs weapons supported by allies.”

“I won’t say much about infantry and artillery equipment. The more high-quality French products, the better. Today I want to focus on expressing my views on individual anti-tank rocket launchers.”

“I personally think that this thing is the equipment we need most. If it can be transferred to the class level, I am confident that I will spend the whole winter with the Germans.”

 When the North received the first batch of three thousand 40-gun guns, all ordnance experts and weapons engineers were shocked.

 No other reason, just because the penetration value in the instruction manual is too outrageous and completely beyond their understanding.

  Lao Mao Zi even suspected that Ba Ye’s translator made a big mistake and got the wrong unit of measurement when writing the instructions.

With the idea of ​​​​experimenting to gain true knowledge, they sent several 40-gun guns to the experimental range on the spot, and fired several shots at the captured enemy tanks No. 3 and No. 4, as well as their own T-34 and KV1.

 Facts speak louder than words.

When a group of technicians watched helplessly as the armor-piercing projectile penetrated the frontal main armor of the above-mentioned tank, they had to admit that their skills were inferior and they had to admit that they were inferior.

“Chief of General Staff, judging from the performance of this rocket launcher, even if the Germans update the equipment of their armored forces, it will be able to adapt to the intensity of future wars.”

“I personally suggest that we either talk to our allies about technology transfer, or let the Second Special Design Bureau carry out copying work.”

After finishing speaking, the top commander of the 30th Group Army took out a folder, which recorded the various experimental parameters of the 40-fire, as well as its specific performance in several small battles.

“Okay, I will pass your suggestions on to SDL comrades. Thank you for your hard work.”

  ·······

 Three days later, the combat conference room of the General Staff Headquarters.

“Comrade Makarov, in view of your outstanding performance in the Great Patriotic War, the General Staff has decided to transfer you to the 16th Group Army of the Second Military Region of the Far East as Major General Chief of Staff.”

"The specific tasks and arrangements are all in your appointment letter. Pack your things and set off quickly, and try to report to the new unit before the end of January."

“Let me tell you one more thing. You must have a good relationship with your old friends. You are now the bridge of communication between the two parties!”

"clear!"

After getting the summary of the meeting between the senior commanders of the army and air force, Big Beard locked himself in the office and finally made a difficult decision.

 The Lend-Lease Act must not be suspended, and cooperation must be strengthened.

After making up his mind, he immediately asked his best generals to use intercontinental radio to contact allies thousands of kilometers away, and made a request that he had carefully considered.

 That is, establishing a mutually supportive relationship.

The north will withdraw its own people from the area designated by Ba Ye, leaving only the 16th Army responsible for ensuring the safety of the railway transportation line.

Of course, if the Japanese Kwantung Army is in trouble again, they will transfer people back to protect their own interests.

In exchange, Ba Ye needs to provide a full set of technologies for the Type 41 40mm rocket launcher, and increase the previously determined amount of assistance by 30%.

 The relationship becomes effective from the date of signature and its validity period is three years.

 If it is to be revoked, the other party must be notified six months before expiration. If both parties fail to notify as scheduled, it will be automatically extended for one year.

 Hellow River naturally strongly supports this proposal.

The essence of the Type 41 40mm rocket launcher is actually an improved version of the RPG2. Even without the previous Lend-Lease Act, the North would start imitating it based on the captured PZF250 in three years.

 Exchange something that originally belonged to the other person for something that originally belonged to you.

Hmm, that makes sense.

 As for adding 30% of aid supplies? The Yellow River didn't take this amount seriously at all. After developing Suiyuan, there may be many new gains. The people who own the Mars Factory are so arrogant. (End of chapter)
