Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Although shocked, Huang He did not forget to think about the pros and cons of joint transportation among the three major participating countries.

Don't tell me, don't tell me, if this land and sea transportation aid channel can be unimpeded, then the overall transportation efficiency will be much better than the Southeast Asia-West Africa route.

After all, when the transportation volume is large and the transportation distance is long, the route with a high proportion of railways is the most economical and suitable choice.

Of course, if someone insists on being a profiteer and performs a routine of stealing and taking cards along the way, then the specific results will be different.

Seeing the calmness of his allies who no longer have everything under control, the legendary captain Philip finally smiled to win back the victory.

"I'm surprised. In fact, when I first heard the news, my reaction was even greater than yours. After studying Chinese for so long, this is the first time I intuitively felt what it means to have a bright future in another village."

"But one thing to say, this route is really good. The first half of it is by railway. The equipment we need is nothing compared to the old guys, and it basically won't take up too much transportation capacity."

"The land transportation in the middle section is handled by Ugly people. They have established several local automobile factories and even assembled and produced tens of thousands of transport trucks. They definitely have the spare capacity to help us deliver goods."

"As for the final transportation, it will be transported by our own navy to Madagascar for turnover. During this period, I plan to arrange for outstanding cadets from the Eighth Route Army Navy to **** the ship. The Indian Ocean is relatively safe and is a good novice village."

As soon as these words came out, Huang He applauded from the bottom of his heart.

Reasonable, too reasonable. Who says this route can't work? This route is simply perfect.

If others don't know, how can he, a time traveler, not be clear about it. The route Philip just mentioned was clearly the Iranian route that transported 24% of Lend-Lease supplies during World War II.

The reason why it is not as well-known as the Pacific and North Atlantic is mainly because there are almost no organized and large-scale enemies along the way.

Except for the early days of its establishment, there were no major battles along the entire route, so naturally no one knew about it.

But for Lao Dai and others, this is a great thing.

If everything goes well, it will really be of great benefit to the Four of the Five Permanent Members.

With Ying?

Really unfamiliar.

If it weren't for the local fat man's partial control of something that lacks great virtue, he wouldn't even be able to drink soup from this cooperation. Who said that the Tehran Black Conference must have representatives from the UK.

After thinking about everything, Huang He gave a thumbs up again, his face full of praise for his allies.

"This cooperation has been negotiated. You have obtained the supplies you have been longing for, and counterattacking the European continent is no longer empty talk. A Chou has an aggressive ally in Southeast Asia, and the pressure on the frontal Pacific battlefield will inevitably decrease sharply."

"After a war breaks out in Africa, there is a high probability that Germany and Germany will allocate part of their troops to return reinforcements, and the old man can breathe a sigh of relief. Even Dai Ying can take a sip of soup and take advantage of the advantages of Indochina."

"And we will gain a surface fleet with combat experience and get the last piece of the puzzle to land on our homeland."

"Elegant, so elegant. As expected of Lao Dai, he actually activated the entire Allied camp while begging for food. If Mustache knows about this, he will definitely scold his two allies behind their backs."

When Huang He mentioned the words "counterattack on the European continent", Philip's face became more expectant. As a dedicated soldier, his faith never wavered.

Now that the dream has become a reality, how can the legendary captain not be excited?

When he heard that Chou Country could also benefit from it, Philip didn't have much reaction on the surface.

Both sides benefit from each other, which is a healthy development. What's more, the commander-in-chief has contributed a lot to this cooperation, so he should be the direct profiteer.

but!

When we talked about Dai Ying about the Yellow River, our international friends yelled at him. The angry expression, as if he wanted to eat someone, showed the true nature of a century-old friendship.

"Tai Ying? Don't mention these rubbish. If their army hadn't been pressed to the ground by the Japanese in Southeast Asia, our Free France wouldn't have to go around in a big circle."

"Just thinking about it makes me angry. I don't even know what they are doing. We obviously agreed before the war to stabilize the front line, and then wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack together this year. Just forget it if we can't defeat it. Isn't it impossible to hold on firmly?"

"It's worse than killing me to let this kind of garbage take advantage of me."

In Lao Dai's original plan, he planned to train troops in the old colony and develop them, first pulling out a field force of more than 50,000 people, and then jointly leading the British and preserved fruits to counterattack.

The Japanese only have 2 to 4 divisions, with a total strength of no more than 100,000.

Once the war begins, it will be 50,000 foreign legions + 60,000 British, Indian and Burmese troops + 100,000 expeditionary forces to encircle the Japanese.

The strength ratio of the two sides is 1:2.1. Even if the coalition's combat effectiveness is not as good as the original elite, they can at least dig trenches and dream of fighting.

The waters are muddy and easy to fish. As long as Southeast Asia is in chaos, Free France will have the opportunity to bypass the Strait of Malacca and establish a Southeast Asia-West Africa route.

But why don't you be a good person with Ying?

In just five months, the British, Indian, and Burmese armies not only lost their positions, but also betrayed the expeditionary force.

As a result, Lao Dai had no choice but to re-plan, and the original shipping route became a piece of waste paper. It can only be said that Dai Ying is reliable and the sow can climb a tree.

Philip's resentful ridicule also aroused Huang He's dissatisfaction with Dai Ying. He also paid attention to the first expedition because of the United Front and the Viet Minh.

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Chu Yunfei, who had finally used American equipment and almost died in a foreign country.

"Hey, Savage Mountain, Savage Mountain, my friend from my hometown almost died on the way to retreat. I heard that the man has been bedridden since he returned home. I don't know if he will have a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future."

"Forget it, I won't mention the wicked Dai Ying today."

"At least you Free France have a blessing in disguise, with a more efficient and safer route."

Unlike land and sea transportation, air transportation is always accompanied by more uncertainties. The Hump Route and the Alaska Corridor are the best examples.

It is indeed feasible to transport supplies to Southeast Asia through large transport aircraft, but both the border areas and Free France will have to pay a high price. Of course, this route is not without the possibility of further improvement. But the prerequisite for everything must be a powerful ocean-going navy.

When it came to being safer and more efficient, Phillip, who finally calmed down, got angry again. He took out a world map from his pocket, pointed at the Iranian route and complained:

"It is true that it is efficient and safe, but as long as we use this route, Free France will be at the mercy of others."

"Huang, do you know that in order to allow Big Beard to use the entire Siberian Railway, we have to spend 40% of every batch of military supplies sent to the Persian Gulf as protection fees."

"That's all, it's just for the sake of your border area and Chou Country."

Since the end of last year, the border area has provided rental materials to Lao Maozi at a fixed frequency of one batch per month. It can be said that it has achieved a true sense of rain or shine and is unstoppable.

And unlike the British and Ugly Congress, which provide a certain proportion of raw materials, the aid sent to the front line by TG through the Siberian Railway is all ready-to-combat weapons, which can be used on the battlefield after unloading.

The Liberation truck, various modified M22s, 105mm artillery, Spitfire fighter jets, and C47 transport aircraft are really one truckload at a time.

Although the weapons used to kill everyone on the Asian battlefield may not necessarily work well on the Eastern Front in Europe. But I have to rely on tens of billions of subsidies from the Yellow River to live, so what kind of food can I choose?

What's more, the greatest significance of the Lend-Lease Act is to free up enough resources for the North, allowing them to produce and improve their own standard equipment unscrupulously.

In critical moments, quantity is important. This is the main reason why Lao Maozi must give face to the border area.

Upon hearing the exaggerated 40% protection fee, Huang He almost spit out the coffee he had just drank. He thought that someone would profit from it, but he never expected that it would be the Dragon Slaying Knife.

Fortunately, Free France does not need much equipment at this stage. The French army weapons of hundreds of thousands of people are enough to hold high the banner of legitimacy, otherwise Lao Dai would be really distressed to death.

In order to appease the injured soul of the legendary captain, Huang decisively put on a fierce look and said:

"It's okay, I don't want to take advantage of it in vain. They wanted to buy a new fighter plane from the Weapons Experimental Research Bureau some time ago. When the time comes, I will help you kill it."

"Hey, if you come out to fool around, you will have to pay back sooner or later."

"Okay! Then I'll wait and see!"

······

After helping to complete the design of the water reconnaissance aircraft and talking about the new transportation route, Philip stood up and adjusted his military uniform, already looking like he was ready to leave.

Seeing that the legendary captain was about to leave, Huang He quickly grabbed the other party's clothes.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there's one more thing."

"I remember that in the advisory group, there seemed to be a major who could fly a seaplane. Take this drawing back and study it with him to see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"Feel free to mention any features you want to add. The prototype has a lot of room for upgrades and can definitely meet all your needs."

After finishing speaking, Huang He hurriedly walked to the file cabinet next to the table and took out a thick stack of design drawings. The word "Top Secret" was written on the cover of the file.

Seeing this, Phillip carefully took the document, while curiosity arose in his heart.

The last section of Iran's route needs to pass through the Indian Ocean. If the Navy can have a seaplane with outstanding performance, it will definitely be a great help in times of need.

"Hey, this look looks much more majestic than Catalina's."

"And from the data point of view, this aircraft is too exaggerated. Looking at the whole world, it is estimated that only the Type II large boats of the Japanese Navy can stabilize its pressure."

"Qing 6? A good name."

As early as World War I, the French established a Naval Aviation Development Committee to study the possible application of aircraft in naval warfare.

The world's first seaplane and the first seaplane carrier were also built by the French, so Philippe is naturally a man who knows the goods.

Huang He was greatly benefited from the praise from his allies. He opened the outer package and started flipping through the design drawings according to the number of pages marked in the catalog.

"The Qing-6 maritime anti-submarine patrol aircraft is 23.5 meters long, 7.38 meters high, has a wingspan of 33.7 meters, and has a maximum take-off weight of 29 tons. The maximum flight speed is 416 kilometers per hour and the maximum range is 6,000 kilometers."

"As for the self-defense weapons and mounted weapons on the fuselage, I haven't decided yet what to install. You can mention your requirements. Feel free to mention them. Machine guns, cannons, anti-submarine depth bombs and even mines are all fine."

"This thing was originally designed as a weapon for the Air Force. After all, it is becoming more and more difficult to bomb the enemy's homeland. Even the ace crew cannot guarantee that they can return safely every time. I have to be responsible for the lives of the soldiers of the 3rd Air Division."

"But now it seems that it will also need to be escorted on future trips to the Indian Ocean."

After just taking a rough look at the drawings, when Huang He personally told the various data of the Qing-6, the legendary captain Philip immediately showed a dumbfounded expression.

Dude, what kind of monster are you hydroplanes?

It can fly far and fast, and it also has cutting-edge technologies such as airborne radar and radio. It is even equipped with a tricycle landing gear that can take off and land on water and land. This function is too extensive.

Seeing the primitive expressions of his allies, Huang He nodded with satisfaction.

After going back and forth, I finally found my place.

Before Phillip could calm down, his fingers lightly brushed over the design drawing, as if he had touched the ship-shaped fuselage of the experimental machine.

After a moment, he spoke again:

"Look here, I divided the interior of the Qing-6's fuselage into five watertight compartments, and there are special watertight doors between each compartment."

"Considering that escorting a transport ship is a laborious task, I also specially placed beds, kitchens and food storage rooms in the living room to provide comrades with logistical support for long-term operations."

Hearing this, Phillip's eyes changed again and again. He now has the urge to put Huang He on the dissecting table to see what the structure of his ally's brain is.

Without mourning for Catalina's backwardness for even a moment, it was the Qing-6 water anti-submarine patrol aircraft that immediately rushed to the battlefield.

Benzi, Tokusan and Pasta, are you ready to be tortured? (End of chapter)
