blood feud

After asking Bai Shujie for instructions, on April 1938, 4, Lan Caiqin finally came forward in person and began to negotiate a package agreement with Payne, Ramos, Galvey, and Brutt.It mainly includes the following parts:

Feilong International Investment Company transferred the patent rights of direction-finding radar, ranging radar and speed-measuring radar, and transferred the patents of 460mm cannon, 203mm plus howitzer and 105mm rocket launcher.At the same time, the supply quantity of "Feilong Antibiotics" will increase by no less than 30% every month from now on.

Four Sommers-class destroyers and two Atlanta-class light cruisers, after a year of seaworthiness verification, have confirmed that the firepower configuration is seriously unreasonable and there are serious defects in the design. The US Department of the Navy was forced to order them to be scrapped in advance. Handed over to the original shipyard to handle.

One North Carolina-class battleship and one Wasp-class aircraft carrier under construction violated the original design guidelines and did not meet the tactical requirements of the Ministry of the Navy, so they were immediately cancelled.In order not to cause greater losses to the shipyard, the shipyard is allowed to handle it by itself.

In order to expand the trade between the two sides and increase the transportation capacity, Feilong International Investment Co., Ltd. was agreed to purchase 10 transport planes from Boeing.The specific model is model299b, and the engine is replaced with gr-1830-39 (g2) "whirlwind" radial engine.

In order to ensure a certain air cover capability, Feilong International Investment Company commissioned Boeing to produce 322 medium-sized attack aircraft, of which 124 were carrier-based, 196 were land-based, and 2 were trainers.

After completing the processing contract, Boeing naturally obtained the production license of this type of attack aircraft, and paid Feilong International Investment Company a 3.5% patent fee during the sales process.

The two parties agreed that Feilong International Investment Company would purchase 36 Boeing Y-124 export-oriented fighter jets that had not been finalized by paying a deposit in advance, and deliver them together with the aircraft carrier.

The aircraft passed the design plan in 1936, and the first verification aircraft rolled off the production line in May 1937. In January 5, that is, this year, the Air Force of the Army Department still had no clear attitude on whether to purchase.

Three days later, Feilong International Investment Company and the Newport News Shipyard in Virginia signed a technical agreement after consultations to explain the technical indicators of the relevant ships.

Because these things are the content that both sides have already prepared mentally, so the negotiation is not difficult.However, when the last question was brought to the table, it brought great difficulties.

This question is about the choice of carrier-based aircraft.

Bai Shujie pointed out in the telegram that Feilong International Investment Company can invest 800 million US dollars, and the two parties will jointly develop the Y-36, which has been in a stagnant state. , The p-1937 that later made the little devils frightened.

y-36（p-38）攻击机的基本参数：水冷双发1475马力；作战航程1770公里，运输航程3640公里；巡航速度483公里/小时，最大速度667公里/小时；适用升限13400米；总重5820公斤；最大载重7940公斤；单座单人。

As soon as Bai Shujie's telegram appeared, it immediately caused great panic among the President's personal representative Payne, Major Galvey of the Naval Secrecy Brigade Command, and Captain Brutt of the Naval Intelligence Command.

Because the Americans developed this aircraft, it is an international first-class secret.Now a Chinese who is far away in Pyongyang can actually list all the design indicators, and can also put forward suggestions for improvement, which means that the secret has already been leaked!

This is a major international security issue. As the president's personal representative, Payne made a direct call to the president to explain the matter.

Then, Lan Caiqin will be responsible for explaining where he got the information about Y-36.Finding out the leaking channels is directly related to national security and is the focus of the president's high attention.

Of course, this question cannot trouble Lan Caiqin, because after the aircraft carrier Chicheng was attacked, Bai Shujie had already reported the relevant situation.Before Lan Caiqin came to negotiate, she specifically asked Bai Shujie about his negotiation strategy.

This time, sending a telegram in front of the Americans was purely a kind of blackmail, or a threat: Bai Shujie's meaning was very clear, if you Americans disagree, I will immediately cooperate with the Soviets!

Of course, Bai Shujie must have left behind, this is the great power of "foresight"!

According to the rhetoric that Bai Shujie taught her, Lan Caiqin went like this: Not long ago we attacked the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, and after killing Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi, we found several blueprints.Among them are the technical parameters of y-36, and of course there are other things.

"It's the damn Japanese again, the bad nature of Pacific monkeys, you Chinese have a saying: Dogs can't change eating shit!" Payne said angrily: "I knew that the Japanese always go back and forth near the aircraft factory and shipyard. Wandering around has no good intentions. I hate that those congressmen don't take it seriously, it's simply unreasonable!"

Major Galvey of the Naval Secrecy Brigade Command suddenly thought of a question, so he interrupted Payne's complaint: "Miss Lan, if I heard correctly, you also got some other things from Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo Chuichi. Really? I'm really curious, what could be more interesting than this question?"

"Mr. Galvey, please forgive me for not being able to answer you right now!" Lan Caiqin shook her head and said, "My boss regards you Americans as friends, but you are always evasive. In fact, your so-called top-secret information and top-secret technology are not available to me. There are at least hundreds of items from your boss!"

"My boss didn't disclose this because he didn't want to fight against you Americans, but was willing to cooperate with you. But how do you do it? We use the money to solve the improvement problems before the mass production of the aircraft, you guys I can't agree, do I need to say more useless words?"

Captain Brutt of the Naval Intelligence Command smiled slightly: "Miss Lan, are you exaggerating?"

"Really?" Lan Caiqin tidied her temple hair with her right hand, and then explained the technical parameters of all the warships, submarines, aircraft, automobiles, smelting processes, etc. under construction in the United States in one breath, and then smiled at Bu Root said: "Mr. Brut, do I need to publish an article in the newspaper tomorrow to explain in detail the technical problems of the above project?"

Brutt's face turned pale when he heard this, and he kept wiping cold sweat: "Thank you for your kindness! Miss Lan, no need!"

"I have a proposal!" Lan Caiqin finally got back to business: "As for the mass production improvement of the Y-36, we can provide relevant technical indicators for free, as well as the basic method of improvement. But we need to get 72 aircraft."

"As a Chinese saying goes, where there is a spear, there is a shield. I can provide a set of my own patents for joint production, but this new aircraft can just pose a threat to the Y-36. However, we need to get 240 carrier-based models, and 72 land-based types."

Payne finally returned to normal. When he heard Lan Caiqin's proposal, his heart moved, and he immediately said, "Tell me, if possible, I can report to the president immediately, and they can also report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

In fact, Bai Shujie didn't really want to get any promises, but just wanted to increase his social status.Appropriately disclose information, indicating that he is no stranger to the outside world.

Lan Caiqin briefly talked about the relevant ideas, but did not disclose the specific content.The aircraft she introduced is the Messerschmitt me1939 jet aircraft, which the Germans began to develop next year (262).The Americans got German technology and in 1947 produced their own jet aircraft.

This is a historic leap from the piston type to the jet type, which belongs to a brand-new idea.Before Bai Shujie received specific guarantees, of course he would not reveal the specific data.Because what he needs now is an ordinary aircraft, the ultimate version of the Mustang aircraft, the p-82.

In World War II, the Mustang series fighters made outstanding military exploits.According to incomplete statistics, on the European battlefield alone, Mustang series fighters dispatched 13873 sorties, dropped 5668 tons of bombs, shot down 4950 enemy aircraft, and destroyed 4131 enemy aircraft on the ground. "Guardian Angel".

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
