It can also be seen from this that the Japanese are very good at using "blackmail" methods.
At this time, the Japanese had actually planned a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and even trained troops for it, but they still threatened Ying Jiang to make him hesitate.
But this is an issue that Yingjiang needs to consider and has nothing to do with Wang Xuexin.
At this time, Wang Xuexin was secretly glad. If he had agreed to Yingjiang's request and exchanged technicians with them... he would not have been so easy to talk to now.
Yingjiang's technicians came with the second batch of rifle ammunition.
Sun Erwei's so-called "secret" method was to "circulate" this batch of ammunition in Chongqing: the ammunition was first transported to Chongqing by air, and then the ammunition was transported to Xi'an by a stubborn army train and handed over to the Eighth Route Army.
Although there is no difference if you transfer it this way, the nature is different.
The reason is that Yingjiang has signed an aid bill with Chongqing, so this assistance is a normal business transaction... "Aid" is actually a kind of loan. The equipment is given first, and it will be repaid later when there is money.
It is normal for Chongqing to issue equipment to the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army was originally a force within the establishment. Chongqing was supposed to issue guns, ammunition and even military pay. However, Chongqing failed to do so and instead became abnormal.
There are twenty technical staff in total.
To be precise, ten technicians and ten security personnel.
Five of the ten technicians were originally planned to be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the production line. The other five were sent to "cooperate" with Wang Xuexin, and two of them can also speak Chinese.
In this case, it is of course necessary to bring their own translators, because they don't want the Chinese to be talking about secrets in Chinese and they can't understand them. They also bring a radio themselves to get in touch with their home country.
The security personnel were several Marines acting as guards.
In order to keep secret, all of them entered the base area secretly in civilian clothes. After arriving at the base area, they simply changed into a set of Eighth Route Army military uniforms and equipped with Springfield rifles... This was not to prevent hiding their identities. Their appearance was difficult to hide. This was done
Avoid being mistakenly injured by the uninformed Eighth Route Army and guerrillas as enemies.
The leader was a captain, probably in his forties, with a thick beard on his chin, carrying a backpack and a cowboy hat, dressed like a tourist.
Under Li Yunlong's recommendation, the captain generously stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Xuexin and said happily: "I've heard of you, Wang Xuexin, right? My name is Skinny, I'm glad to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you!" Wang Xuexin replied politely.
Then I was stunned for a moment, Skinny? This name sounds familiar!
The next second Wang Xuexin remembered, Leslie Skinny, a scientific researcher working in the Army Ordnance Department, known as the father of the "Bazooka"?
Sure enough, Skinner said to Wang Xuexin: "Wang, speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't used the rocket launcher on the battlefield and succeeded, my invention would probably have been ignored! What a coincidence, we actually invented it.
We got the same thing. The difference is that you used it on the battlefield, but we can only store it in the warehouse!"
"Oh, really?" Wang Xuexin pretended to be surprised: "It's a coincidence that Sun Erwei never told me about this!"
"Sun Erwei?" Skinner looked confused.
"It's Wilson!" Wang Xuexin explained: "He has a cool Chinese name!"
Skinner burst out laughing: "It seems I need a Chinese name too!"
It makes sense that Yingjiang would send Skinner to China to cooperate with Wang Xuexin.
The reason is that the most realistic and urgent cooperation that Yingjiang can think of with Wang Xuexin is the rocket launcher.
Although Yingjiang also has a rocket launcher, it is still a prototype at this time, while Wang Xuexin's rocket launcher has been mass-produced and put on the battlefield and has even developed various rocket launchers.
Of course, Yingjiang hopes to know more about the performance and battlefield performance and data of the rocket launcher. At the same time, he can also learn from various types of ammunition to develop his own types of ammunition.
To this end, Yingjiang also sent a batch of Citi rocket launchers and rockets for testing.
Skinner patted Wang Xuexin on the shoulder and said: "We have common interests, Wang. I believe we will cooperate happily!"
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin replied.
However, although Wang Xuexin said so, he did not think so in his heart.
The reason is that Wang Xuexin knows that the Skinny in front of him can be said to be Eagle Sauce's rocket expert... He has had a strong interest in rockets since childhood and has built and launched many rockets by himself.
The problem is that Yingjiang has never been interested in rockets, so Skinny can only research and build rockets in his spare time. This is why he is still only a captain until now.
Therefore, this project is very important to Skinner. It almost determines whether Skinner's research field can develop in Eagle Sauce, and it can also be said to determine Skinner's future.
For Wang Xuexin...the Rockets are just a part of it.
Skinny was indeed a rocket fan. He was eager to see the Eighth Route Army's rocket launcher before he even settled down.
When Wang Xuexin handed the rocket launcher to Skinny, Skinny looked at Wang Xuexin in shock and praised: "God, this is simply a work of art, it is so beautiful! Especially the way it is launched...
You even got a scope for it!"
It seems normal for Skinny to behave like this.
Because Wang Xuexin's rocket launcher is copied from RPG7... RPG has developed from type 1 to type 7. It was originally just an iron pipe and turned into a mature anti-tank weapon. After many actual combats, problems were discovered, improved, and then
A process of actual combat, discovery of problems, and improvement.
Wang Xuexin skips all these processes and directly produces the most mature finished product.
If there is any shortcoming, it is that the armor-piercing ability is slightly insufficient without hollow charges.
In comparison, Skinny's rocket launcher was really just an iron barrel at this time, an iron barrel that didn't even have time to install a sight.
Therefore, the shock that this rocket launcher brought to Skinny was beyond words. He even felt inferior and did not dare to show off the rocket launcher he brought.
"Can I try it?" Skinner asked.
"Of course!" Wang Xuexin replied: "But you should save more, because it is not easy for us to produce artillery shells!"
"No problem!" Skinny replied, and then immediately asked several subordinates to prepare to record data and start test firing.
Seeing Skinner and his group busy, Wang Xuexin smiled secretly in his heart.
Sun Erwei was so generous that he sent several rocket experts as a gift.
However, this may be related to the fact that they have not paid attention to the rocket field...because they did not pay attention to it, so they casually sent such an important expert to China.
It's just that it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!
