Just when Feng Xiaoming and others were flying into the blue sky with their fighter planes, Su Rui also received the latest information from the airport. Six Japanese Type 96 fighters had come from the northeast and had already crossed Yangchun and were approaching Maoming.
, the Third Flying Regiment stationed at Lingbei Airport has taken off eight...well, nine Wildcats to meet the enemy.
Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, just a few days ago, the four radar stations built had been activated, and the invading Japanese planes were detected. Otherwise, they would have just flown to Maoming and dropped them.
A bomb would cause huge losses.
Su Rui turned around and saw Hurley looking at him curiously. Song Rui smiled and said, "Colonel Hurley, don't worry, there are a few Japanese planes coming over for a tour, ours
The young man has already taken off to drive them away, your safety here is guaranteed."
"Your boys are flying our American fighter planes to drive away the Japanese, right?"
Hurley looked very unhappy. He was almost certain that the pilots of the other side must have flown aircraft designed by the great United States of America to fight the Japanese. However, these aircraft were not sold to them by the United States of America. This feeling made Hurley
Earley felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing Hurley's look as if he had swallowed a dead mouse, Suri felt an inexplicable joy in his heart. No matter how hard you, a Yankee, get angry, I will use your fighter planes to fight the Japanese, but you still can't
I'll give you a dime.
Although he thought so in his heart, Suri still said hypocritically: "You can't say that, Colonel Hurley, you must know that we also paid."
Seeing Suri's hateful look, Hurley finally couldn't help but yelled: "But our U.S. government hasn't received any of this money. Isn't this ridiculous?"
Suri sneered and approached Hurley, "But it doesn't make any difference to who we buy the fighter jet from. We have already paid. As for who receives the money, I don't care. You understand."
What do I mean?"
"You...you scoundrel!" Hurley was so angry that his face turned red. Caucasian people have white skin, and his face suddenly turned very red.
"I...a scoundrel?"
Su Rui's face suddenly became serious. He looked directly at Hurley and said seriously: "Colonel Hurley, I think you have forgotten one thing. You are now talking to a lieutenant general of the National Government, and you
He is just a colonel-level military attache appointed by the U.S. government. Strictly speaking, my rank is three levels higher than yours. Are you sure that what you just said represents the meaning of the United States of America?"
"this……"
Hurley hesitated. He had just said these angry words in a fit of anger, but this definitely did not represent the meaning of the U.S. government. He did not have the right to declare a lieutenant general from another country a rogue. To put it more seriously,
This will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
After hesitating for a moment, Hurley murmured: "Okay, General Su, I take back what I just said and apologize to you for it. However, on behalf of the US government, I still want to solemnly ask you to stop
In cooperation with that mysterious company, if you want to buy fighter jets, you can buy them from our US government!"
"What, buying from you?" Su Rui almost cursed!
I don’t want what I got for free, but I have to dig into my pocket to buy a plane from you Americans, and I’m going to be very satisfied.
Su Rui's cold voice sounded: "What if I don't agree?"
Hurley said without hesitation: "Then I will advise the U.S. government to stop cooperating with your Chinese government and stop selling any weapons to you!"
"Okay... okay!" Su Rui laughed angrily, "So, the US government has made up its mind not to continue using this fighter jet?"
Hurley said unceremoniously: "At least you are not allowed to buy this Wildcat fighter from that company in the future, because it has infringed on our country's copyright!"
"Okay! You guys are really good!" After getting angry, Su Rui stopped being angry and sneered: "So if our army wants to continue to use this Wildcat fighter, it has to buy it from the US government?"
Hurley nodded: "That's right!"
Suri asked jokingly: "Then will your US government approve the sale of this fighter jet to us?"
"This..." Hurley hesitated before saying: "This needs to be approved by Congress!"
"Hmph... You don't need to say any more, I already understand!" Suri waved his hand to stop Hurley from continuing. He finally understood that the United States has not yet felt the pressure from the Japanese. Not only are they still
Send scrap steel to the Japanese, and sit with your butt crooked, otherwise he will not put pressure on him, and they will not wake up until they are stabbed by the Japanese.
Su Ruiqiang took a breath and said: "Okay, I can promise you now that from now on, we will not buy Wildcat fighter jets from that company again, don't worry."
"Huh? Is it true?" Seeing that the other party agreed so happily, Hurley looked up at Suri in shock. He originally thought that the other party would still bargain for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party agreed so quickly.
.
"What? Don't you believe what I say?" Suri's face suddenly turned cold.
"No, no, no... we believe that you are a sincere person, and what you say is very reliable." Seeing that Suri was showing signs of falling out, Hurley did not dare to overly stimulate the other person.
The purpose of the trip has been achieved, so what does it matter if you say a few soft words?
After listening to Hurley's words, Suri just said meaningfully, "I hope your country will not regret today's decision."
Hurley just smiled and shrugged, "I was just ordered to deliver the message. Don't blame me, General Su."
Although the anger in Suri's heart became more and more intense, his face was calm. He said calmly: "Okay, now that we've finished talking about the Wildcat fighter jets, we might as well talk about other things."
After solving the wild cat matter, Hurley felt relieved. He leaned on the sofa behind him and asked with a smile: "General Su, please speak."
Suri walked to the desk, took out a drawing from the drawer, and handed it to Hurley, "Colonel Hurley, this is a design drawing of a German tank that we got by chance. Its interior
The name is Panzer IV. It is said that this is a very excellent tank produced by Krupp Company. I think your country should be very interested in it."
"What, Panzer IV?"
Hurley let out an exclamation, then grabbed the drawing and looked at it line by line, making a tsk-tsk sound in his mouth as he read it.
After a while, he raised his head and stared at Su Rui and said, "General Su, what price do you want us to pay for the other half of the drawings before you can give them to us?"
It's now 1939, and Germany's actions in Europe are getting bigger and bigger. Politicians with a little bit of savvy understand that Germany's tanks are about to start. At this time, knowing more about Germany's trends will be very beneficial for the future.
And Hurley has also heard that the Panzer IV is currently the most advanced tank in Germany. Although the United States and some European countries have tried to get information about this tank, they have been unable to do so. Now this
The arrogant General Su actually took out a detailed drawing of this tank, which could not help but frighten him. At the same time, he also became determined to obtain this drawing.
Su Rui smiled and said slyly: "The remaining drawings depend on the sincerity of you and your government."
Hurley said impatiently: "General Su, I can now promise you on behalf of the US government. If you are willing to hand over this drawing to our US government, I can authorize it on behalf of the US government, and you can continue to submit it to that company.
Isn’t this sincerity enough for a mysterious company to purchase Wildcat fighter jets?”
"I'll pour it!"
Su Rui was almost angry at the colonel's words. Damn it, uncle, you didn't pay anything. You just agreed to let me continue to buy products produced by others. You have to get a top-secret information from me with nothing.
Tank blueprint, your calculation is too shrewd!
Su Rui sneered: "Colonel Hurley, thank you for your magnanimity, but I don't need it. Since I promised you not to buy this fighter plane again, I will definitely do it. In this case, you want this drawing too
Yes, but you have to exchange something for it."
"What?" Hurley suddenly became alert and stared at Suri, fearing that the other party would come up with a troublesome condition.
"I can hand over this drawing to the U.S. government, but you have to help me build a Garand rifle production line and a steelmaking plant with an annual output of no less than 200,000 tons in Maoming."
"Oh, no, no, your request is too high. Please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request!" Hurley shook his head like a rattle.
Although the United States currently does not impose an arms embargo on China, the export of weapons production lines is still strictly prohibited. What's more, advanced weapons such as Garand rifles are not even fully equipped by the U.S. military. How can the production lines be exported abroad?
?
"Really? What a pity!" Su Rui shook his head and said: "Since your country is not interested in this, then I think the Russians will be interested. I will talk to the Russian Ambassador about this another day.
Although we can’t produce Garand rifles, it would be nice if we could exchange them for a production line for Mosin-Nagant rifles and a steelmaking plant!”
"You..." Hurley felt that his teeth were itching. This guy was so abominable that he used such despicable means to seduce him.
In fact, Hurley knew without thinking that if the Russians knew that the general in front of them had a complete set of design drawings of Germany's latest tanks, they might immediately agree. Anyway, the rifle production line is not too secret to those countries.
Things, especially Russian weapons, which are famous for being stupid, big, thick and black, are too easy to produce! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
