Yingjiang actually asked Mao Xiong about this question.
Mao Xiong forwarded the question to Zhukov without saying a word.
At this time, Zhukov had been ordered to organize the defense of Moscow. As soon as he heard the two options given by Yingjiang, he cursed: "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's a piezoelectric fuse, let them send them all."
!”
Zhukov is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. Of course, he knows that what you want on the battlefield is always the most practical, not the most expensive or the one that sounds fancy... Although the Hawker 81 fighter is not advanced, its unit price is as high as several dollars.
Ten thousand US dollars, it is definitely worth more than the piezoelectric fuze.
However, given the current situation of Mao Xiong, what can a few more Hawk 81s do?
Nothing can be changed.
But if Mao Xiong has the "piezoelectric fuse" that Yingjiang mentioned, and if this "piezoelectric fuse" really works, then Mao Xiong can use infantry to suppress Hans' tanks, even if he does not have air superiority...
This is something that a furry bear would only dream of doing.
However, Zhukov is also a very smooth person, which may be one of the reasons why he was able to escape the purge.
Zhukov thought for a while, stopped the staff officer who was about to reply, and said: "Ask Yingjiang, can we have piezoelectric fuzes and Hawker 81 at the same time? You must know that Moscow is in danger at this time, and we need to do our best.
Possibly more supplies.”
It didn't take long for the staff officer to respond: "Your Excellency Marshal, Yingjiang said that the transportation capacity is limited, and we can only choose one."
"Go to hell!" Zhukov cursed and could only say helplessly: "Let them deliver the piezoelectric fuse as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late!"
"Yes!" the chief of staff responded and went to reply.
No wonder Zhukov would curse, he knew Yingjiang was lying.
Because it is not difficult to send fighter jets from Yingjiang to Mao Xiong, it does not even need additional transportation capacity... The fighter jets can first transfer to Alaska. From Alaska, they only need to fly through the Bering Strait to reach Mao Xiong's Siberia.
But since Yingjiang said this, Zhukov had nothing to do.
Zhukov thought to himself that this might be because Yingjiang was fighting fiercely with the Japanese on the Pacific battlefield, so he was in short supply of pilots and was reluctant to send planes over.
What Zhukov didn't know was that Yingjiang was actually playing some kind of balance.
Based on Yingjiang's mentality, he didn't want Hans to successfully conquer Moscow. This was not in Yingjiang's interests.
But on the other hand, Yingjiang also doesn't want Mao Xiong to win easily.
It would be best if both Mao Xiong and Hans were defeated.
This is also the reason why Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang had the strength to defeat Hans long ago but did not do so when Hans and Mao Xiong had a fierce fight during World War II... Sun Bu Luo was behind Hans, Dunkel
After the great retreat, they had retained considerable strength, and with the support of Yingjiang and the production of their own industry, the sun never sets has long become a sharp knife in Hans' back.
But Sun Bu Luo and Ying Jiang held the knife in their hands and refused to take action. They deliberately shifted the focus of the battlefield to Africa and then to Italy. They fought on the outside and allowed Mao Xiong and Hans on the Eastern Front to fight to their death.
It was not until Mao Xiong had achieved a decisive victory, and if Mao Xiong did not take action, all the fruits would be picked by himself, that the Normandy landing was completed.
Out of this strategic consideration, Yingjiang was thinking: He had already given the piezoelectric lead to Mao Xiong, would it be enough to give him Hawke 81?
What's more, Hawke 81 has done nothing to benefit the bear. Hans's war is only indirectly related to Hawk Sauce's interests. Before, he was just worried that the bear couldn't defend Moscow.
But if Hawker 81 is given to the Eighth Route Army...the benefit is not indirect but direct. It can contain the Japanese Air Force and make the Japanese multi-front operations very difficult.
Therefore, Yingjiang found an excuse that he could only choose one of them due to lack of transportation capacity.
Wang Xuexin got a reply soon.
Sun Erwei couldn't believe it when he received the telegram. He looked at Wang Xuexin and said, "God, it's just as you thought, the bear would rather have a piezoelectric fuse."
"What do you mean?" Wang Xuexin asked.
"It means you succeeded!" Sun Erwei raised the telegram in his hand: "They agreed to send all the planes to reinforce the Eighth Route Army!"
"100 aircraft?"
"Yes!" Sun Erwei nodded heavily: "100! In addition, they may also find a way to airlift a few small radars!"
After all, this is a hundred fighters, and Yingjiang doesn't want these hundred fighters to suffer heavy losses because they don't have radar.
"That's great!" Wang Xuexin finally let go of his hanging heart.
But I can’t completely rest assured, and I can’t count until I see the real thing.
The news quickly spread to the headquarters, and the chief felt that this was a bit abnormal. He asked: "Is it true? One hundred planes, this is not a small number!"
The chief felt that 30 aircraft was normal. Although Yingjiang was very generous in reinforcing the stubborn army...or it could be said to be making money, he sold a total of more than 300 aircraft to the stubborn army.
But the reinforcements provided to the Eighth Route Army have always been stingy.
This is actually the businessman nature of Yingjiang. Reinforcing the stubborn army not only has strategic interests but also economic benefits. For example, it can sell aircraft to the stubborn army at a high price.
But cooperation with the Eighth Route Army is basically free.
"It's absolutely true!" the chief of staff replied: "I checked with Li Yunlong. This guy was so happy that his tail was raised to the sky. He kept saying that he would give the Japanese a good beating this time, but he didn't take him immediately.
The soldiers counterattacked!"
The chief was a little strange: "Didn't you say there were only 30 aircraft? Why did you change your mind again?"
The chief of staff replied: "I heard that it was Xiao Dongbei who negotiated with Yingjiang. He thought of a way to go around and solve the problem with Mao Xiong. So Yingjiang had no reason to put the original problem because of Mao Xiong's safety.
The planes that are going to reinforce us are being transferred to the Bear!"
"What a good idea!" The leader nodded happily: "This guy can do it. He came up with a move to surround Wei and save Zhao! Others really didn't think it could be solved like this!"
"Chief!" said the chief of staff: "Then we will face a difficult problem next!"
"What's the problem?" the chief asked, and then he immediately responded: "You mean the pilot?"
"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded: "If there are only 30 reinforcements from Yingjiang, and we recruit talents from the entire army and use intelligence personnel to mobilize some people with flying experience to join our army, we can barely survive.
Recruit all, but if it is 100 fighters..."
In fact, the "recruit all" mentioned by the Chief of Staff must be discounted, because quite a few of the people mentioned by the Chief of Staff have flown aircraft among warlords. For example, the Jinsui Army has some such talents, although not many.
But these people are flying old-fashioned aircraft, which are completely different from fighter jets like the Hawk 81.
