Of course, this kind of "rare things to live in" is only for furry bears.
Because Wang Xuexin knew that the scientific research capabilities of Mao Xiong at this time were still far behind those of Europe and the United States, and it was unlikely that they could reverse-engineer the "Gaohuo".
If sold to Yingjiang, Wang Xuexin would not have much confidence.
On the other hand, Wang Xuexin also knows that the future world structure determines that a stronger Mao Xiong will be more beneficial to China.
In other words, even if Mao Xiong successfully imitates the "Gao Huo" and advances the development of missiles by a few years, it will not be a big deal. It will be beneficial to China, but it will create a stronger opponent for Yingjiang.
Lemonokov couldn't wait to ask Wang Xuexin: "So, Comrade Wang Xuexin, what do you want us to use to trade with your army? Tanks? Aircraft? As long as we have it, you can rest assured!"
The reason why Lemonokov dared to say this was because he was authorized before coming here.
The general adviser was also very surprised when he heard that the Eighth Route Army had a piece of equipment with a range of nearly 200 kilometers, and he immediately reported the situation to Moscow.
There was an immediate sensation in Moscow.
Many generals said:
"No, this is impossible!"
"That's the Chinese Eighth Route Army! They haven't realized industrialization yet!"
"Yes, how can a group of farmers develop such advanced equipment? This is simply a joke!"
…
"Comrades!" The Supreme Deputy Commander knocked on the table to silence the generals in the conference room. He said with a straight face: "First of all, I want to emphasize one thing. The rocket launcher we are using is what you think is 'impossible'
It was invented by farmers, do you think it is a joke? It is even better than all the anti-tank equipment our army currently has, many times more!"
The Deputy Supreme Commander is right.
Mao Xiong's anti-tank equipment at this time included anti-tank grenades, anti-tank guns, etc., in addition to anti-tank guns.
Although anti-tank guns are powerful, their targets are also large and can easily be discovered and knocked out by enemy aircraft and artillery.
Anti-tank grenades need to be attacked at close range, which basically means dying with the enemy.
Anti-tank guns... not only have poor penetration, but the recoil is unbearable. Every time you fire a shot, your shoulder feels like a kick from a donkey. One shot on the left shoulder, and another shot on the right shoulder.
Switch to the left shoulder and take another shot, and then you can almost go to the hospital.
All of this equipment is incomparable to the rocket launcher. In the words of the Supreme Deputy Commander: "This equipment is simply designed for our army. It is exactly what we need. We should do our best to produce the most rocket launcher equipment for our troops. We
I think its priority should be higher than t34!"
The priority is ranked above the t34... This should be the highest praise for the rocket launcher.
But this is not surprising at all.
Because Mao Xiong has always hoped to use T34, that is, to use tanks to fight tanks, but the effect has never been good, although Mao Xiong's T34 has excellent performance in all aspects.
Instead, it is a rocket launcher. It is cheap, easy to operate, and has strong penetrating power. It can not only attack tanks but also infantry and bunkers. It is simply born for the army of furry bears.
When the Supreme Deputy Commander said this, the generals in the conference room fell silent.
"Secondly!" the Supreme Deputy Commander continued: "I hope you can at least do a simple analysis. The opponent of the Eighth Route Army is the Japanese, and the Japanese use the 'Zero' fighter plane. Why did the Japanese's 'Zero' fighter plane fail in the Pacific War?
The P40, which can defeat Yingjiang, was defeated again and again by the Eighth Route Army's 'Hawker 81' on the Chinese battlefield? Is this a fact? Is it also a joke?"
The generals would look at each other.
The Supreme Deputy Commander has a good question. The P40 is the personal version of the "Hawker 81", and its performance in all aspects is definitely higher than the foreign trade version of the "Hawker 81".
On the other hand, the pilots driving the P40 are still experienced Eagle pilots, while the pilots driving the "Hawk 81" are newly trained Eighth Route Army pilots...
What caused the "Zero War" that shocked the world and made all pilots change their minds after hearing about it, and broke its wings in the sky of China?
"If you don't know the answer!" said the Supreme Deputy Commander: "Then I can tell you that the farmers you laughed at, the non-industrialized farmers, invented x1 and advanced tactics that enabled them to successfully defeat the enemy! If
You can, why don’t you try it?”
After a pause, the Supreme Deputy Commander added: "Finally, this information is the final information after I repeatedly confirmed it with the General Counsel. I can tell you with certainty that there is no problem with it. The Eighth Route Army does have a weapon that can fight 200 kilometers.
bomb!"
The generals in the conference room made a fuss again, but this time the tone of conversation had changed:
"How did they do it? Two hundred kilometers!"
"It's unbelievable, it's a miracle!"
…
"Comrades!" the Supreme Deputy Commander continued: "You may have only seen its range, but have you ever considered the issue that if we have this equipment and then improve it, it can hit three hundred kilometers?
Or even further, what will happen?”
There was silence in the conference room for a while before someone answered: "Comrade Supreme Deputy Commander, does this mean that we don't need the air force? We can directly use this equipment to attack the enemy's airports and logistics supply lines!"
The Supreme Deputy Commander nodded.
The conference room was instantly filled with joy.
This temptation is too great for the furry bear.
Because at this time, Mao Xiong was at a disadvantage when the Air Force was at a disadvantage... Mao Xiong's Air Force was almost completely wiped out by Hans in the early days of the war. The production of new fighter jets was unable to maintain production capacity due to the transfer of industry to Siberia, so Mao Xiong almost
It is fighting without air superiority.
Now, if there is such a piece of equipment that can directly attack the enemy's airports and supply lines without relying on air superiority, then it is tailor-made for the furry bear, and it is the furry bear's hope of victory.
After another discussion, the Supreme Deputy Commander no longer hesitated and sent a telegram to the General Counsel: "We must obtain this equipment at any cost. It would be even better if we could obtain x1!"
This is the basis for Lemonokov's dare to say to Wang Xuexin, "As long as we have it, you can safely mention it."
This time, Wang Xuexin was stumped.
What do you want?
Are rifles too cheap? There is already a rifle production line. Although the output is not large, the demand in this area is not large anymore.
Tank or artillery?
Although it is very tempting, Wang Xuexin believes that this is still not an urgent need for the Eighth Route Army. At least with the rocket launcher, it will not be so urgent.
If there's anything we need...it's still air superiority!
