Chapter 792: The Americans’ sugar-coated bullets (second update, please subscribe)

Who is the mainstay!

I am a big Nanyang!

Who is the cornerstone of Southeast Asia!

I am a big South Sea.

Who is the most important ally of the United States in Asia?
Of course it’s still me, Nanyang!

I am so important, how can you cut off my food rations!

There are more than 2000 million children in Nanyang waiting for American milk powder!

In a word, children who can cry have milk to drink, and men who can fight have united front value.

In 1952, Nanyang was definitely the ally with the most united front value for the United States in the entire Asia. This was not only recognized by Truman, an old friend of the Nanyang people, but also the consensus of the political circles in Washington.

But what are the benefits of this title?
That is to say, the United States' aid to Nanyang has been stabilized. As part of the aid to Nanyang in 77, and to strengthen Nanyang's defense strength, the United States made a very generous decision to provide 86 F fighter jets to Nanyang according to the "Mutual Defense Plan".

In another world, my country, Great Britain, was miserably misled by the United States. During the Peninsular War, the Royal Air Force was still using the old Gloster "Meteor" and de Havilland "Vampire". The new swept wing Although the Hawker fighter "Hunter" has not yet been put into production, it is about to test flight, so the United States took the initiative to provide F86 to the United Kingdom. Faced with such a good thing, even Fatty Qiu did not see the Americans' calculations, and then used The Royal Air Force provided 430 F86s through the Mutual Defense Fund established by it.

"Your Excellency, Americans do not have any good intentions!"

Not to mention such an elevation... even Li Yian himself felt a little embarrassed.

Putting down the report in his hand, Li Yian couldn't help but joke.

Li Yi'an couldn't help but smile, and said:
"If we don't have Thunder and Lightning, we will have to wait until at least the end of next year, or even five or four years, to use the F86. But with Thunder and Lightning, we will generously provide F86 to us. This is the trick the United States is best at, using assistance. Come destroy our aviation industry!”

After all, there are Soviet Russia and the United States in the Western Pacific. If the two of them start to fight, Nanyang... will really stay out of it.

"A lot indeed,"

"Hey, Americans, there are so many colorful intestines here!"

As the elected president, Eisenhower also delivered a passionate speech after leaving Nanyang and returning to the United States, expressing his affirmation and support for Nanyang. He also directly elevated Nanyang from the "cornerstone of peace in Southeast Asia" to "Asia and the West." Building Blocks of Peace in the Pacific”.

"If we use one more F86 Saber, we will purchase one less F1B Thunderbolt. The Americans have a lot of tricks."

The results of it?
The UK has only purchased a few hundred of the Hawker Hunter, known as "the best subsonic fighter in history." Although the Hawker production is close to 2000 aircraft, most of them are overseas orders won by its excellent performance - just Even the US military has purchased a batch of Hawks for use in imaginary enemy squadrons.

Even Zou Tongjie also saw what Americans were thinking. This move was simply what Sima Zhao wanted to do.

This is true for the United Kingdom, and it is also true for the small days. Every time Japan develops a fighter jet, the United States will express its willingness to provide new fighter jets.

On the road of not doing human affairs, I, Da Ying, am the best, but on the road of not doing human affairs, I, Da Mei Na, am definitely the leader!
"Your Excellency, 77 is not a lot, and it won't affect the overall situation."

When Zou Tongjie wanted to speak on the basis of "relations between the two countries," Li Yian shook his head and said. "These 77 planes are a test! What they are testing is our attitude! They do the same to Britain and France. They will use dozens of planes to test your attitude first. If our reaction is not strong, he will definitely use the excuse of "community" Defense" to increase assistance."

France is completely opposite to the United Kingdom in its attitude towards the United States providing weapons - it directly rejected the F86. Instead, they chose to wait for their "mysterious" fighter. At this point, the French are wise.

Although the "Hunter" is known as the best subsonic fighter, it is basically the swan song of the British aviation industry. In the following decades, the United States continued to feed poison and provided F4 and other fighter jets to the United Kingdom in the name of aid. , ultimately successfully dismantled the British aviation industry, and in the end only the Rolls-Royce engine factory was left, relying on civilian aviation to survive.

As a weapon of national defense, fighter jets are even related to the life and death of a country. Therefore, if conditions permit, they must have the ability to design and manufacture independently. Only in this way can they not be restricted or even threatened by other countries. Although this road is not smooth and will encounter many obstacles, as long as we go in the right direction, independently developed fighter jets can arm themselves and at the same time be exported to earn foreign exchange for the country. It can be said that both strengthening national defense and making money Correct. While conducting research and development, France has also improved its overall defense industry capabilities, and even its industrial chain has continued to grow. If all French fighter jets were imported from the United States, France may never be able to improve its military technology today.

With the two examples of Britain and France, Li Yian certainly knew what to choose, but said directly to Zou Tongjie.

"The strength of a country's aviation industry is reflected on the basis of independent research and development. Nanyang must have the ability to independently complete design and manufacturing. This is a matter of principle, but you are right, the relationship between the two countries is also very important... …”

After thinking about it, Li Yian said.

"Since the United States has provided us with the USS Franklin, then tell the United States that we have the same type of fighter jet as the F86, but not on the aircraft carrier, and ask them to provide us with the F-2 carrier-based fighter jet."

"Sir, don't we have a carrier-based version?"

Zou Tongjie said doubtfully.

"But the problem is that Americans don't know!"

Li Yian said while thinking about the routines commonly used by Americans.

"Because we have F1 fighter jets, and their performance is no worse than the F86, that's why they are willing to provide it to us, but they don't know that there is also a carrier-based version of the F1 fighter jet. Of course, this is entirely due to our steam catapult, so we We can ask them to provide F2 "Banshee" carrier-based aircraft to cooperate with the Franklin. If nothing else happens, they will most likely reject our request!"

Not very likely!

But they will definitely refuse. This is the principle of the Yankees. The Americans have always been extremely serious about guarding against their allies. Just like Canada, it also has an aircraft carrier now, but it has always used Hawker "Sea Fury" fighter jets. After the advent of the jet age, Canada once hoped to introduce the F2 "Banshee", but Canada declined for various reasons. It was not until the mid-2s that the F "Banshee" was obtained.

This is true for die-hard followers like Canada, and it goes without saying for Nanyang. Being able to give a USS Franklin aircraft carrier is already very unexpected. After all, the United States is still very stingy in many cases-it will never give weapons like aircraft carriers to its allies.

Although the United States retired a large number of aircraft carriers after the war, they would rather dismantle those aircraft carriers into scrap metal than give them to the United Kingdom, France and Canada. As for the countries in South America, they could not buy them even with gold in their hands.

Under such circumstances, the United States will obviously not provide advanced jet carrier-based fighter jets to Southeast Asia. Naturally, this request can be used to reject the American request.

"As long as they reject our request, then F86 can naturally shirk it. It's no big deal."

Later, Li Yian asked again.

"The order from Yugoslavia should be finalized soon."

Zou Tongjie said.

"Yes, negotiations with Yugoslavia have been reached. Their pilots will arrive in Nanyang for training in the near future. Our pilots and service personnel will go to Yugoslavia with them for further training."
