the world is at stake

"Oh, no wonder the U.S. artillery fire is so fierce. Three to five of our artillery divisions arrived with one artillery division, and the reaction speed was very fast.

It turns out that people's technology is so advanced.Fortunately, the comrades of the underground party got the same equipment.Unfortunately, these device enemies not only exist, but more and better. "

Director Jiang repeatedly sighed, and asked the operator about the condition of the equipment, "I heard from the Soviets that the electronic tubes are particularly easy to break. If one tube breaks, the entire equipment will have to be shut down for maintenance. Your situation here..."

The personnel in the information center were all transferred from the Zhisi Communications Office.They nodded at the question, then shook their heads, "We've heard of similar things.

The comrades of the underground party mentioned in the instructions provided that the electronic tube consumes a lot of power and is easy to break.The equipment is also delivered with repair parts. "

but……

"According to our use, we found that both the instructions and the actual situation are very different from the information provided by the Soviet Union.

For example, the Soviet Union said that they are lucky if their electronic tubes can work continuously for [-] hours, which means that the equipment has to be shut down for maintenance in an average of three or four days.

But Shiji's computer has been working continuously for several months.We want to overhaul it, but none of the pipes are broken, and we can't dismantle the cabinets casually.

In addition, the power consumption is not as exaggerated as the Soviet experts said, and the whole machine is tens of kilowatts at every turn.The full power of our set is less than ten kilowatts, and its interior comes with water cooling.Has been working fine. "

Director Jiang frowned when he heard this, but he was not happy.It is not the first time he has learned that this batch of 'American goods' is of excellent quality and particularly stable.

At first, the country thought it was a military product, until one of the "American-made radars" was sent to the First Design Bureau of the Soviet Academy of Sciences specializing in radio research in exchange—Maozi was stunned.

Meidi, is it really impossible to master the core technology?

It is also an electronic tube, so small for the Maomeidi model?so high frequency?So low power consumption?So few failures?

The gap in technology between the two countries is too great.

The Soviet Union imitated the B-29 and produced a Tu-4.At that time, it was found that the opponent's high-powered engine and 'Norton' bombing device could not be imitated, and the Tu-4 was much worse in range and bombing accuracy.

I thought it was close in terms of mechanics and optics, but now I find that the gap in electronic technology is even greater.

The Soviet Union also produced a vacuum tube computer in 48, but that was a giant with an area of ​​[-] square meters. It was absolutely impossible to maneuver it on the battlefield, and its calculation speed was only a pitiful [-] per second.

The 'US-made radar' shipped to Moscow has a vehicle-mounted fire control computing module, which weighs only two tons, occupies less than four square meters, and has ten times the computing power of Soviet products.

The Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union was puzzled. After a long time of research, it was found that the "American goods" were technically nothing special, but the workmanship was excellent - better materials, more precise assembly, and more detailed design.

Electron tubes produced in the Soviet Union are easy to break when they work at high frequencies. In order to obtain faster transportation speed, they can only simply pile up the electron tubes themselves.

'American' computers do not rely on piles of tubes to increase computing speed, but rely on increasing operating frequency.In the same way, Soviet products frequently break down, but the service life of "American products" exceeds tens of thousands of hours.

The advantage of this is that the corresponding equipment can work for a long time without delaying the fighter at critical moments.

Even Soviet experts were in a hurry, feeling that the technology gap between themselves and the United States was at least ten years—we must vigorously develop electron tube technology to catch up with and surpass the United States.

Because of the anxiety caused by the 'Holy Light' team, Moscow had to invest more in electronic tubes, and went to the United States to seek related technologies.

But the U.S. doesn’t have such a thing now—the U.S. is even surprised, what are these Soviets looking for?A tube computer with tens of thousands of calculations per second?Can it be towed by a truck?

This kind of thing only exists in dreams!

Mao Zi feels that Americans strictly guard their secrets—hmph, don't try to lie to me.I have already got the actual product, which is produced by you.But for the sake of confidentiality, I won't say it either.

Both Meisu felt that the other party was telling lies.

Maozi turned to China for help—from which American laboratory did you get such good things?Why can't we find any clues?

This question was asked all the way to Xiao Jinlang's head, and Lao Xiao was very depressed - the dungeon was only about a month old at the beginning, Zhou Qingfeng was such a fool, he was so arrogant.

Now I can't stand it anymore.

Old Xiao could only bite the bullet and make up stories to reply to the Soviet Union's inquiry...

"This is the most top-secret 'Star Wars' program in the United States, which is similar to the 'Manhattan Project' for making nuclear bombs. Our intelligence agents are currently unable to contact and have no way to obtain more information.

Of course, if the Soviet Union can provide more assistance and incentives, our intelligence agents may get in touch one day, and they will definitely provide the Soviet Union with the latest American computers. "

The Soviet side was skeptical about this, and directly expressed that Stalin was indeed becoming more and more generous.

For Director Jiang in Dayudong, the biggest advantage is that the equipment of the Volunteer Army is indeed becoming more and more modern, at least approaching the level of World War II.

"Director, a telegram from the imperial capital." In the information center, the communications officer tore off a copy of the telegram from the decoding printer, glanced at it, and handed it to Director Jiang next to him.

The telegram was sent by the Military Commission of the Imperial Capital, and the content was very simple, asking Zhisi to prepare to take over a batch of light armored combat vehicles shipped from Europe.

"75mm main gun, 38mm slanted armor, [-] tons weight. It looks pretty good." Director Jiang first looked at the general performance data of this batch of equipment, and then looked back at its model, "German-made Type [-] tank destroyer car."

Chapter 48 The Road Is Wider

In the early days, the PLA armored soldiers only had some Japanese-made "Little Douding" and other gadgets, which were either captured or picked up from junk, and they had no performance advantage against the Kuomintang tanks.

After the war in North Korea, the Soviet Union aided a batch of T-34 and 'Stalin-2' tanks, which finally supported the face of the PLA armored soldiers.

But the T-34-85 of more than 2 tons and the 'Stalin-[-]' tank of more than [-] tons are too heavy to pass on the broken roads and bridges in North Korea.

The U.S. military's logistics is so against the sky, using 'Sherman' and 'Pershing' can only serve as mobile firepower points, and the armored splitting battles they engage in are also fruitless.

The Volunteer Army was dragged down by logistics and faced an even worse situation.

After several months of fighting, the No.13 Corps, the first group to enter the DPRK, discovered that the best armored combat vehicle was actually Maozi's SU-76.

It weighs only ten tons, has good road traffic ability, and its firepower is not bad. It has no problem dealing with enemy field fortifications. The armor is immune to small-caliber shells.

The current war is procrastinating and expanding, and the Imperial Capital Military Commission intends to form [-] modern infantry divisions by purchasing Soviet weapons.Each division must be equipped with tanks and self-propelled artillery, initially requiring [-] main battle equipment.

But ever since there was a steady stream of military supplies coming from Europe via the Siberian Railway, this huge purchase plan began to be discounted.

Zhou Qingfeng felt that the 'Black Panther' tanks were good, so he bought more than 300 of them for the country in one go.This alone can equip almost ten Chinese-style tank regiments.

Israel, which has just been founded, would cry to death if it knew this.

In terms of bicycle performance, the 'Black Panther', as an imitation of the T-34, has indeed achieved a comprehensive transcendence.

The PLA armored soldiers have found through tests that the 'Black Panther' is stronger than the T-34-85 in terms of firepower, armor, maneuverability, and even driving experience.The only dissatisfaction is the maintenance soldiers.

But considering East Germany's help in providing logistical maintenance, the Military Commission immediately divided the sixty Soviet-style tank regiments into fifty - the country is very poor.Save money, not shabby.

Originally thinking about stealthily building more than 300 'Black Panthers' was already the pinnacle of 'picking up junk', but after Zhou Qingfeng received feedback from domestic battlefields, his goal turned to lighter equipment.

After learning that there was actually a 'Stalker' production line in operation in the Czech Republic, and it was producing for Switzerland, Zhou Qingfeng immediately started to think.

'Stalker' appeared relatively late in World War II.It was urgently produced when the German army was almost finished.But this emergency product gave the Third Reich a sigh of relief.

In Europe during World War II, whether it was the Eastern Front or the Western Front, the "Stalker" caused the United States and the Soviet Union to suffer greatly.This low-profile bargain packs decent performance.

Zhou Qingfeng asked Xiao Jinlang to ask the Skoda Armory in the Czech Republic if he was interested in modifying a batch of 'Stalkers' for him?If it is feasible, then simply buy the whole production line and move it home.

At the same time, Xiao Jinlang also asked East Germany if it was possible to help him build an overhaul factory for the maintenance of the 'No. [-] assault gun' brought from Europe.

The number of 'stalkers' is too small to survive. The output of 'Three Sudden' is over [-].Both are good 'light armored vehicles'.

One is 34 tons, the other is [-] tons. Before they are thrown into the steelmaking furnace, you can find hundreds of them by searching in Europe.This is more suitable for mountainous areas than the T-[-] with more than [-] tons.

In order to show their loyalty to socialism, East Germany stated that as long as the money is in place, not to mention the overhaul plant, the production plant can be built with assistance.Czech didn't hesitate too much, and also said that money can solve all problems.

So the dollars that Sun Luoji extracted from Soong Meiling were transferred into the pockets of two Eastern European countries—the Imperial Capital Military Commission also canceled the purchase quota of fifteen Soviet Armored Regiments by the way.

Modification is much more cost-effective than purchasing second-hand goods, only Maozi feels that he has suffered a big loss.

The money to buy a T-34 is enough to repair and refit [-] 'Stalkers' - basically all the 'junk' that Zhou Qingfeng found can run. bad question.

The biggest feature is the installation of [-]mm caliber mortars on the 'Stalker' and 'Three Tus' to enhance the ability to shoot in mountainous areas.

As for the oil issue, Zhou Qingfeng asked the Jews to solve the production equipment, and on the other hand, he took advantage of Yu Jishi who was in a state of distress in New York.

From January of 51, Zhou Qingfeng instructed Yu Jishi to search for Chinese scientists in the United States, and at the same time he did not forget to find other things for him.

In the daily correspondence, Yu Jishi received another 'hot potato'.

"Demand to purchase 100 million tons of military-grade fuel in the name of the Nationalist Government. Diesel oil, aviation kerosene, and lubricating oil including No. [-] gasoline."

In the letter, there is a line of inconspicuous words, "If a deal can be concluded, Mr. Yu can take 5.00% of the transaction amount as a reward."

Yu Jishi's heart skipped a beat.

how?

Want to bribe me?

I'm Jiang Gong's bodyguard chief.

The Three Principles of the People are in my heart, and the legacy of the founding father will never be forgotten.

Today, President Jiang is full of ambition, and he still has his homeland in his heart.As a pawn under his command, am I the kind of person who has an eye for money?

Read the letter carefully again, the first batch of transactions is... 5000 million US dollars.

Chief Guard Yu took a tight breath, and then looked back at the inconspicuous small words, 5.00% of the transaction amount?

That's $250 million, not a small fortune.

You must know that Kong Xiangxi bought a mansion of more than ten acres in Long Island, New York, with gardens, swimming pools, lawns, and villas, and only spent a total of 160 million US dollars.

$250 million is enough to get a lot of people into the water.

Oops... How much gasoline does this cost?

You must know that the price of oil in the Middle East is still at 5000-2000 US dollars per barrel. [-] million US dollars can produce more than [-] million barrels of crude oil, and even high-grade fuel after refining is in the millions of tons.

During World War II, the United States only provided more than 260 million tons of fuel to the Soviet Union. A $5000 million purchase is enough fuel to fight a major battle.

High-grade fuel belongs to military supplies and cannot be purchased through commercial channels.

Yu Jishi quickly understood why the kidnapper wanted to find him.Because he is a person close to President Chiang, it is still possible to get some approval from the Taipei Ministry of National Defense to purchase supplies from the United States.

"If you're more ruthless, you might as well sell the fuel for the US aid to the kidnappers, and you'll get more than 5.00% of the money." Yu Jishi had an idea in his mind, but he immediately felt it was absurd.

"No, no, Yu is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. He came to New York to save his country's mother. How can he join forces with the kidnappers? How is this different from the Kong and Song families?"

"Wait... I'm here to save Miss Song Jiasan. This is all for the face of the party and the country, and I have to defile myself with the kidnappers' hypocrisy."

"But didn't the money that the kidnappers used to buy fuel come from Mrs. Jiang? If I made this money, would I be too black-hearted?"

"Why don't you inform Jiang Gong. But if Jiang Gong is suspicious and misunderstands me, what should I do?"

Yu Jishi's scalp burst from thinking, he was concerned about whether to inform Taipei of such money-making matters-the president has a lot of affairs, misses his wife so much that he is worried and tired, how can he bother with such a trivial matter?

Yu Shiwei wants to be a whore, but also wants to set up a memorial archway.He didn't immediately agree to this request, but only expressed in the follow-up phone calls that he wanted to do business in a business-like manner and dared not take the benefits offered by the kidnappers.

Zhou Qingfeng was indifferent to this, and said on the phone: "It doesn't matter, I found a Jewish source, and the same is true for buying from Europe.

Europe has a full set of oil refining technology and can help build a series of oil storage equipment.I'm going to spend the [-] million dollars I squeezed out of Soong Meiling.Mr. Yu need not worry. "

Wait... [-] million dollars?This business is a bit unusual.

If the kidnappers begged for cooperation, Yu Jishi would have to be careful.But Zhou Qingfeng immediately said that it didn't matter, instead he thought more about it.

After more than two months of 'run-in', Yu Shiwei can be regarded as a kidnapper's temper - direct, no detours, no scruples.If you say cut Soong Meiling's finger, you can cut it, if you say you can spend it in the Soong family treasury, you can spend it.

[-] million US dollars!

This business is no small feat.

At present, the national government still has a bit of preferential treatment in the United States. As long as the money is spent, the purchase of military supplies is basically unlimited.If it really costs [-] million US dollars, I don't know how many people are willing to take advantage of it.

Now that Taipei is in turmoil, how many people think that they have the right to use it, and it will become invalid when it expires?

On the phone, Yu Jishi didn't hesitate much, and said again: "You want to purchase military supplies, you need to find a reliable channel. The Jews are treacherous, cunning, eager for quick success, and mercenary. I'm worried that they will swallow your money."

Hahaha... Zhou Qingfeng was delighted to hear that, "When it comes to 'quick success' and 'mercenary', is there anyone in the world that can compare with the Kuomintang?"

Ah... this? !

To be an official in the Kuomintang, a thick skin is a must.

Yu Jishi didn't feel any embarrassment, instead he kept saying, "Yes, yes, there are indeed many despicable people in our party."

"However, if you really want to buy military supplies, Mr. Yu may be able to help. It's not for making money, but only for me to bring the mother of the country back to Taiwan. Mr. Yu is very grateful."

Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, lubricating oil, these are all consumables.

The purpose of buying is to use it. If you can’t see it in the inventory, it must be used for training by soldiers of the national army.

As soon as Yu Jishi thought about it, he knew that his friends in Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense had all kinds of tricks to sell the fuel in the oil depot.

Even if you really want to buy it, you don't need to buy it from the United States.At present, Japan is the largest logistics base of the US military. Maybe the Volunteer Army can share the same logistics support with the US military.

With this thought, the sky and the earth are wide, and half a step compromises the sea and the sky.

Yu Jishi's coming to New York was a torment, but once he changed his mind, he immediately felt that the hard work turned into a beautiful one, and the benefits were great.He is willing to make friends with the kidnappers and leave a way out.

Everything is for the purpose of saving the return of the country's mother, and Jiang Gong must be able to understand it - after all, this double-sided approach is something that Jiang Gong often does.

Zhou Qingfeng said that he would first purchase 500 million US dollars of fuel, and he could provide Yu Jishi with a personal account of 200 million in advance, and the fuel would be shipped to Shanghai, and the rest would be paid immediately.

Yu Daxi turned to his friends in the military and political circles in Taipei to inquire about the source of the goods—sure enough, the first thing those grandsons thought of was to sell their own inventory.
