Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 171: Chen Feng's arms plan 2

() Is it enough to have these? Of course it is not enough. Having a good product does not mean that the business can be done well.Good products still have a big market, in addition to these are also inseparable from advertising.Only when all three are in place, can this Eleven be successful.

To be honest, whether Chen Feng's stuff is good or not, in one word, good.But it is not easy to sell these good things. First of all, there is no market.Although the global arms market will definitely be booming in supply and demand in a few years, the problem is that it will take several years, and Chen Feng simply can't wait.

Another problem is that even if someone buys arms from Chen Feng in the future, it will not be easy to deliver these arms to the buyer.Whether it is Americans or British, the distance from Chahar, where Chen Feng is located, is more than tens of thousands of miles away, and there are oceans and mountains in between.In addition, now that the Japanese navy has blocked all China's sea outlets, it may not be easy to sell weapons and equipment to the United States, Britain and other countries.

Since it cannot be sold to the United States, Britain and other countries, it can only be sold to the Nationalist government and the Soviet Union bordering China.That's all for the national government, this must be the big customer of Chen Feng's arms business, he can't escape.Let’s talk about the Soviet Union, even though this guy is a big country with good industrial production capacity, Chen Feng knows that the Soviet Union’s current military design capabilities are very weak. When the Soviet-German War broke out, most of the Soviet Union’s troops were still in use. old weapons.Moreover, due to insufficient preparation, the vast industrial areas of Eastern Europe were lost at the beginning of the war. In the most difficult time of the war, every two Soviet Red Army could not get a gun, and often a soldier rushed forward with a gun. .Another soldier followed the soldier with 5 rounds of bullets. Once the soldier died, the soldiers behind quickly picked up their guns and continued to fight.So the Soviet Union must also be a big customer of Chen Feng's arms business.

More importantly, the Soviet Union borders China. With Chen Feng's current position, it is far easier to get in touch with the Soviet Union than with the national government.As long as Guisui and Baotou are defeated, the army can cross Erlianhot and enter Outer Mongolia.Although Outer Mongolia is said to be a duli country, it is actually controlled by the Soviet Union. There are a large number of Soviet Red Army stationed in Outer Mongolia. There is actually not much difference between entering Outer Mongolia and entering the Soviet Union.

Although the Soviet Union definitely doesn't need weapons and equipment very much now, Chen Feng still has a trump card.That is penicillin.You don't need a weapon.But penicillin, a life-saving medicine, is afraid that no country can withstand the temptation.You must know that when penicillin was not mass-produced, the mortality rate of tuberculosis and tetanus was extremely high, especially tuberculosis, which was not much different from AIDS.

The emergence of penicillin just solved this problem.This is like someone suddenly developing good medicines for cancer and AIDS in the 21st century.The sensation it caused was terrifying just thinking about it.When the arms business cannot be carried out.Doing penicillin business is still very good.

Moreover, Chen Feng had a reason to do business. Chen Feng had no shortage of money, really no shortage.After the troops captured Tianjin.Chen Feng looted more than a dozen Japanese banks in Tianjin, and at the same time confiscated a large amount of property from fake Japanese merchants. According to Chen Feng's secret information from Mr. Chen, the gold transported back to Xinghe from Tianjin was a full 15 tons. What is this? Conceptually, 15 tons of gold is equivalent to 30 taels, even if it is pulled by a car, it will take five or six cars to transport it together.

In addition, there are 6000 to [-] million oceans, hundreds of millions of French currency, and hundreds of millions of counterfeit military tickets. As for antiques and cultural relics, there are even more.In terms of money, I'm afraid Chen Feng is now the richest person in the entire Republic of China.

But Chen Feng still lacks one thing now, if this thing is not resolved, Chen Feng will have trouble sleeping and eating.Oil is so important to war. Without oil, all machinery has to be grounded. Whether it is a car, a tank, or an airplane, even if you can get the actual American Hornet or F21 in 22, it is nonsense. There is no oil. It's a pile of worthless junk.

Does China have oil? Of course it does, and there is a lot of it.Whether it is Shenmu or Shengli, which is close at hand, or Yumen, which is a little further away, there is oil.But mining?The answer is no. Once the Japanese know that China, an oil-poor country, can actually produce oil, the consequences will be disastrous.It is very likely that Japan will give up going north or south and concentrate on dealing with China, and the subsequent war will have nothing to do with the Americans.

Of course the Americans are happy to do this, but the Chinese are about to cry, so it is impossible to extract this oil, at least it is impossible to extract it before the outbreak of the Pacific War.

Could it be that if there is no war between the United States and Japan, Chen Feng's troops will not use tanks and armored vehicles, isn't it using airplanes? Of course not.There is no oil to import, and the Soviet Union is not far from China, especially the Soviet oil base Siberia is closer to Suiyuan.

The most important thing is that China and the Soviet Union have a basis for cooperation. Many people know that the Americans assisted China with a large amount of weapons and equipment during the Anti-Japanese War, and even formed the Flying Tigers to deal with the Japanese air force.But how many people know that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union was the first Western country to support China, and by 1938 it became China's only foreign aid country.

Stalin was not a stupid person, on the contrary he was very smart.The most worrying and most fearful thing about the alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan is not Britain and France, but the Soviet Union.The Soviet Union straddles the Eurasian continent, with Germany to the west and Japan to the east, and Italy can attack the Soviet Union from the south through Hungary.Coupled with the appeasement policy implemented by Britain, France and other countries at this time, in an attempt to divert disaster to the east, let Hitler, the hungry wolf who can't eat enough, and the Soviet Union, the polar bear, grab food. At this time, Japan not only wants to dominate East Asia, but also covets the Soviet Union. Siberia.Under such circumstances, for the Soviet Union, it is a wiser choice to actively assist China in resisting Japan in order to contain Japan and prepare to deal with the more dangerous war of aggression against the Soviet Union that Germany may launch.

Under such circumstances, on December 1932, 12, China and the Soviet Union announced the restoration of diplomatic relations that had been interrupted since the end of the 12s, and had frequent contacts on bilateral military cooperation with Japan. In March 20, the Chinese government sent a military delegation to visit the Soviet Union.

In April 1937, Bogomolov, the Soviet ambassador to China, informed the Chinese government that if China was willing to sign a Sino-Soviet non-aggression treaty, it could sell aircraft and tanks to China and provide a loan of 4 million French currency.But there was no response from China.

After the "July 1937th Incident", Chiang Kai-shek felt that the situation was grim.Finally, on August 8, 14, under the authorization of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Chong, the executive member of the Nationalist Zheng Fuzhong Yang, submitted the draft arms supply agreement to Bogomolov in his name. According to the draft, the Soviet Union provided China with 350 aircraft, 200 tanks and 236 cannons, and the above-mentioned munitions should be provided within one month after the signing of the agreement. At the same time, Soviet pilots, aviation technicians, artillerymen and tankers will be sent to China to train Chinese military personnel. On March 1937, 21, China and the Soviet Union formally signed the "Non-Aggression Treaty." After that, the Soviet Union decided to start providing economic loans and military assistance to China, and dispatching military experts and volunteer air teams to participate in China's war against Japan.

Stalin even called Chiang Kai-shek to make a clear promise: "There is no doubt about the Soviet Union's assistance. The Soviet Union should do everything possible to assist the great Chinese people who are fighting the heroic liberation struggle against the aggressors."

On March 1938, 3, the governments of China and the Soviet Union negotiated the "Agreement on the Use of a Loan of 1 Million Dollars" in Moscow. For the purchase of industrial products and equipment, the annual interest rate is 5000%, and the Chinese government will repay it with tea, leather, animal hair, tin, zinc, tungsten, cotton, tung oil, medicinal materials and red copper.

1938年7月1ri,中苏代表又商定年息3%的第二笔5000万美元的贷款,分5年偿还。1939年6月13ri,中苏代表再次商定年息与前两次相同的第三笔1.5亿美元的贷款,分10年偿还。

In 1940, the Soviet Union provided China with two loans totaling US$2 million.In addition to aiding the Nationalist Government in the War of Resistance in the form of loans, the Soviet Union also provided China with a large amount of military supplies.According to statistics from the Nationalist Government, during the five years of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War from 1937 to 1941, China purchased 5 aircraft of various types from the Soviet Union, including 904 light and heavy bombers, 318 tanks, 82 cars, and 1526 tractors. , 24 cannons of various types, 1190 light and heavy machine guns, 9720 rifles, more than 5 million rifle bullets, more than 16700 million machine gun bullets, 1700 bombs, more than 31100 million artillery shells, as well as aircraft engines and a complete set of spare parts, gasoline Waiting for ammunition supplies.

In addition to aiding China with military supplies, the Soviet Union also sent a group of military advisers and military experts to help with the training of the squadron, and directly dispatched the Air Force Volunteer Team to fight side by side with the Chinese Air Force.There were more than 2000 Soviet Air Force volunteers who came to China to participate in the war. They participated in the air battles to defend Nanjing, Wuhan, Nanchang, Chong Qing, Chengdu, Lanzhou and other cities. They also dispatched bombers to bomb Japanese airports, stations, and ports many times. , warehouses, ships and other military targets.

According to statistics, the Soviet Volunteer Team participated in more than 20 major battles during their stay in China. In 1938 alone, they shot down more than 100 Japanese aircraft and sank more than 70 Japanese ships.During the battle, more than 200 Soviet Air Force Volunteers died in China.

It can be said that there is both a basis and conditions for cooperation between Chen Feng and the Soviet Union. Chen Feng has the penicillin that the Soviets need, and the Soviets have the oil that Chen Feng needs. As long as the national government does not obstruct it, Chen Feng believed that both sides of this business could do it. (to be continued...)
