Chapter 1161, Vicious Suggestions

"Can't buy it?"

"To be exact, we can't buy what we want."

"Example."

"We are interested in the German BF109 fighter jet, but the Germans still refuse to let go."

"Raise the price?"

"We have raised the price to $50,000, but the Germans are still unwilling."

"Alternative plan?"

"We also took a fancy to the Italian BA-65 attack aircraft. But Mussolini refused. He was not even willing to receive our envoy. We returned without success."

"You didn't ask the Sicilians to find a solution?"

"We have no contact with the Sicilians. Their valid handler cannot be found."

“…”

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

Tanavaro must have found an excuse to hide.

If it is a business that can be done, he will definitely be willing to do it. The problem is, official business doesn’t work.

You know, official business is subject to too many constraints.

What Sicilians do is business that cannot be done officially.

"Madam, I hope you will also help find a solution. After all, you are from our Air Force."

"knew."

Zhang Yong answered slowly.

If he could get a plane, he would definitely be happy.

However, for a while, I really didn’t have a good idea.

Aircraft are a large amount of munitions, and they are a very conspicuous large amount of munitions. It is impossible to hide international trade from those who are interested.

"What now?"

"We have placed an order for 500 Hawker-3s."

"Five hundred? Not bad."

"However, Curtiss' delivery speed is too slow. It can only deliver 200 aircraft this year. The rest will need to be delivered next year or the year after that."

"The back? Nonsense! Aren't the day lilies cold?"

"What?"

"Soon..."

Zhang Yong almost blurted out the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.

Fortunately, he retracted the moment he exited.

"What do you want?"

"The situation in North China is already extremely dangerous. The Japanese invaders will take action at any time. It will definitely not be beyond October. What's the use of only delivering the goods next year or the year after?"

"October? Where did you get the information?"

"I got it from the mouth of the Japanese spy. It's not actually a secret. Because all the Japanese invaders know it."

"Not a secret?"

"Yes. The situation in North China is not a secret at all among the Japanese spies. The Japanese invaders' North China garrison headquarters has long made a plan to attack Wanping City and Nanyuan Airport. It will be implemented in the short term. By then, the Japanese invaders may Occupy the entire Pingjin area.”

"Why didn't you report such important information?"

"This is a fact that everyone knows. There is no need to report it. Everyone above us knows it."

"Everyone knows?"

"Yes. Everyone above knows it. Let's not bother."

"Yeah?"

Yang Lichu was dubious.

But since Zhang Yong insisted, she had no doubts.

"Why did Curtis Company..."

"They have been improving production lines, reducing production capacity, and saving money..."

"The only thing we can do is send people to keep urging."

"It's not very effective."

"yes!"

Zhang Yong was full of emotion.

This is the result of buying and selling arms.

Someone can choke you anywhere. Make it impossible for you to do what you want.

Sometimes, this is indeed the case.

Sometimes, it's just deliberate arrangement.

So what if you have money? International trade may not buy you what you want.

This is true for later generations of lithography machines and chips.

"We have investigated and found that Curtis Company's losses have seriously expanded..."

“How about McDonnell Douglas versus Boeing or Lockheed?”

"We have inspected everything. There is nothing suitable. But there is a design plan for the P-38."

"Oh? Do you already know about P-38?"

"Yes. It's the twin devil you mentioned. It feels like the design is very weird. It's too flashy. It consumes too much fuel."

"What a pity..."

Zhang Yong murmured to himself.

Of course it is not a pity that the P-38 consumes too much fuel.

It's a pity that it can't make the trip. Its prototype did not start flying until 1939.

So, don’t think about it for now.

"Mr. Zhang, do you also know the design plan of the P-38 fighter jet?" Doolittle suddenly joined the group chat as a newcomer.

"Yes." Zhang Yong began to improvise, "Several spies have mentioned its design. They said it is very strange. It actually has two fuselages. No. Three fuselages. Two tails."

"It seems that the Japanese spies are very powerful. They actually know such detailed information. Fortunately..."

"What's good about it?"

"I have different opinions on the design of this P-38 fighter jet. It cannot pass the review of the Department of the Army."

"you?"

Zhang Yong couldn't believe it.

He originally thought that Doolittle would appreciate the P-38 Twin Demon.

Unexpectedly, he actually looked down on the design of the P-38. It seems that no matter how talented you are, you will still have some biases.

Transition from biplane to monoplane. Most people can accept it. However, with three fuselages and two tails, it does look unreliable.

"Yes. I don't like the design of the P-38."

"Then you are wrong. Mr. Doolittle."

"Mr. Zhang, do you know about aircraft design?"

"don't know."

"Then where did you get your judgment?

"There's no scientific basis for it. It's just my gut feeling. I like airplanes like this."

"intuition?"

"Perhaps, I should say, high speed, heavy armor, powerful firepower, and powerful power. Can it be said to be a heavy cavalry in the air?"

"Air heavy cavalry?"

"Mr. Doolittle, I am ignorant. However, I believe in my intuition. It must be a very good fighter."

Zhang Yong talks eloquently.

There is no doubt about the excellence of the P-38.

It was the main fighter type of the American Air Force in the early stages of the war.

When Japanese fighter jets encounter it, there is almost no possibility of taking advantage.

Its most outstanding achievement should be its long-range attack and the destruction of Yamamoto Isoroku's plane. What a late bloomer!

Unfortunately, such fighter jets cannot be sold to the Chinese battlefield.

The National Air Force cannot buy it even if it wants to.

Even the Hawker-3, whose performance is already relatively lagging, is actually delivered so slowly.

There was no way, the aircraft manufacturing companies at that time had very low profit levels. Barely holding on.

They shut down large numbers of production lines continuously. As a result, the output of aircraft is just that little.

The thought of the Hawker-3 biplane puts me in a bad mood.

What's even worse is that I can't even buy a biplane. Have money in hand. But just can't buy it.

Resentment…

Decided to stagger the topic.

"By the way, I want to ask you something...

"Tell me?"

"Does anyone want me to go to Peking?"

"Yes. It was proposed by the 29th Army. But Madam has already rejected it."

"lady?"

"Yes! She refused directly."

"Does she have the right to say no?"

"She didn't. But the commissioner did! She has already told the commissioner. She wants you to come back to work in the Air Force as soon as possible."

"Is this okay?"

"It was foolproof. But then, someone made a vicious suggestion..."

"What advice?"

"The other side has changed its tune and wants Comrade Jianfeng to go."

"What!"

"Wocao!"

Zhang Yong immediately cursed.

It's terrible!

This move.

It’s really terrible!

Of course Comrade Jianfeng cannot go.

He is Jiang’s biological son! Still like a prince!
