At present, the Japanese Army is equipped with standard international weapons, and the German Fw-190, Bf-109, Ta-152, and Do-412 are equipped with a lot, but the Bf-319 Army thinks it is a naval aircraft and has little interest, and is almost not equipped; Italy's G.55 and MC.205 also have some; Britain's Spitfire and even the American P-39\P-40\P-51 have them (many of which were transferred by the British). Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOriginally, Japan had high hopes for the Type 5 Battle, but after the Ta-152, the Type 5 War did not even have a chance to be mass-produced, so it was directly forced to dismount.

Under the "pointing" of Germany, Japan also got a lot of mosquito, Wellington, and handsome warrior bombers from Britain, and the results of use were good, so these also became the standard, and then a large number of domestic bombers were discontinued.

In the face of questions from Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, Nakajima, and other companies, the army and navy are now in the same tone -- your planes are not good! Poor performance, expensive prices, and troublesome maintenance and maintenance, the army is going to fight, so there is no need to use good and cheap weapons instead of using poor and expensive ones? Where do you put the Imperial Army? You hurry up to produce new aircraft, if you can't produce it, you must pay attention to the quality, especially the engine trouble imitation is better! This is really the life of the chaebols!

You must know that now not only airplanes, tanks, artillery, and armored vehicles are being imported on a large scale, and even machine guns and assault rifles are being imported.

Of course, there are also smart people who see the opportunity, and now the military has taken out a large number of physical objects and drawings for the study of various manufacturers, some of which are even free, which provides convenience for small and medium-sized enterprises to overtake in corners. Many companies are now specifically starting to make accessories - in the past, several large companies made equipment are all self-produced, not universal, eager that others can not make a penny, they have no chance to intervene, now by the impact of imported products, spare parts standards are open, giving small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to cut into it, virtually but the division of labor and the general system to cultivate.

In fact, the top brass of the base camp is also very annoyed by the current situation, relying on Europe in terms of equipment means that Japan will not speak hard in the future, and it will alienate the relationship with the chaebols, and it will be difficult to maintain it economically, but Hori Yoshiki has his own understanding - because the equipment is not good, the defeat is even less tough, and besides, if you have seen the majesty of the Tiger tank, do you want the troops to go back to using the bean chariot? Here's what will be rebelled! What should I do if I come to the "Heavenly Punishment of the National Thief" again?

In terms of the relationship between the army rebellion and the chaebol, the top brass wisely chose to appease the army, and the chaebol can still be dealt with with by the army if it is disobedient. I only hope that the chaebols will be sober-minded and hurry up to do a good job in production, everyone, hello and I am the last word!

As for the Spitfire, Japan was actually very interested in it before the Pacific War, and it had applied for purchase, but Britain was focused on fighting Germany at that time and was wary of Japan and refused to export.

During the war in India, the Royal Air Force's use of the Spitfire and its battlefield performance also made the Japanese side deeply admire, coupled with the descriptions of the pilots, so that the army was bent on getting the Spitfire in its hands. As for Britain's other main model, the Hurricane, Japan does not look down on it very much, and after witnessing its actual performance in the war in India, it believes that it is about the same level as the Type 1 fighter that its own country is preparing to eliminate, not to mention that it cannot beat the Fw-190 and Bf-109, and even Japan's own Type 3 fighter can easily crush it.

So when negotiating with Britain at the beginning, Japan insisted that it didn't want a Hurricane, and the British finally had no choice but to obediently take out the Spitfire, and finally had a little compassion for the US imperialists, and did not hand over the latest Spitfire 14 and 21 to Japan, but Germany couldn't hide it here, not only the Griffin engine was even moved back to Germany with the physical drawings, but the Spitfire 21 drawings Germany also laughed at it, and was ready to try to improve the Ta-152 after learning from it.

What Japan got in its hands was a Spitfire 9 equipped with a Merlin engine and some Haihuo -- anyway, the aircraft carrier was handed over, and it was useless to keep the Haihuo, and the Merlin engine was handed over to Japan after negotiating a complete set of technical information, and it was not distressing to hand it over together.

It's just that now the Japanese Navy has a high vision, and it doesn't look down on the short-legged and average strength of the sea fire, and all the brains are stuffed into the army - don't you want to breathe fire, give it to you! Yu became the largest overseas user of the Spitfire in the Japanese Army, with the number on par with the Bf-109 and more than Canada, Australia and New Zealand combined.

Spitfire 9 is a relatively early model, but in the eyes of Japan, the strength is not weak, and Bf-109 has its own merits, many times it is stronger than Bf-109 (because many subsequent modifications in the history of the latter have not appeared at all), what makes Japan more important is that although Spitfire and Bf-109 are small short legs, but Spitfire is large and has a lot of fuselage redundancy, this problem can be cured, Bf-109 is really not good. He indiscriminately prepared a copycat in the name of localization, and Ta-152 was of course among the copycats.

The army also carefully tested the machine gun, and believed that the German rifled gun MG213 undoubtedly ranked first, but this thing Japan could not imitate it at all, MG151 and Sispano had their own merits, but the thin-shelled bullet used by MG151 was not easy to imitate, but the ammunition used by Sispano was less difficult for Japan. As for the 12.7mm heirloom of the US military, Japan actually likes it quite a lot, thinking that it is much stronger than its own products, and it is also stronger than similar German products, but the army that is shy in its pocket cannot afford such an expensive product - the gun is not expensive, but the ammunition consumption is really terrible.

The navy, which has deep pockets, does not mind this, and has equipped its marine brigades with a number of Browning heavy machine guns, and has also installed many of them on armored vehicles and even on jeeps -- the army likes to mount machine guns on three-wheeled motorcycles, and the navy likes to mount machine guns on jeeps, and when there is enough ammunition, they will be used openly, and it is a big deal that they will go to the United States to "use local materials" at that time, but judging from the seizures of the combined fleet in the past two years, there is no need to worry at all about the use of several marine brigades in the supply area for a while and a half.

Of course, if Britain is willing to sell it cheaply, Japan does not mind buying a little Hurricane, part of which can be used as an advanced training aircraft, and part of which can be sold to China to make a difference, and now the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have an urgent need for technical equipment, and the second-rate equipment replaced by Japan is basically sold to both sides (a small part is disposed of to Siam), and finally the British side left a part for the Pakistan Defense Forces, and the rest really decided to use it for external processing, in exchange for agricultural products and other means of living urgently needed in Great Britain.

The idea is good, but as a result, few countries want it all over the world, and European countries don't need to say, seeing that the British Empire has been beaten to the ground, they would rather buy German goods than British goods, and as long as they know a little bit about it, they will know that Bf-109 is much stronger than Hurricane, and South American countries and local tyrants in the Middle East don't look down on outdated goods like Hurricanes, no matter how cheap they are, and in the end they have no choice but to deal with them cheaply to Japan, and the two sides negotiated to deal with 800 planes first, and Japan offset them with grain and other agricultural products (such as rubber).

As soon as the first batch of 200 aircraft was obtained, Japan sold 100 of them to Chongqing, 40 to Yan'an, and kept 60 for its own training planes, and disposed of more than 100 obsolete Type 1 fighters to Bowes's Indian National Government and the Siamese authorities.

Naturally, if you sell equipment to China, you have to sell some oil, otherwise these things will not be able to run. In consideration of long-term interests, in order to better invigorate the export industry, China's military authorities, which are nimble and clever in their business methods, are not satisfied with being a second-hand arms dealer and have begun to do a big business of industrialization:

They collected a bunch of small and medium-sized oil refineries from China and the Soviet Union, opened a refinery in Shanghai, and started production with crude oil imported from the Middle East (mainly Iran), although the technical level is poor, the output is low, and the gasoline and diesel grades refined are low, but no matter how low it is, it is genuine gasoline and diesel, some of which are used to meet the needs of the dispatched army itself, and some of which are sold to the Kuomintang, and the scale is not large, that is, the sales volume of 3-50,000 tons, which solves the urgent needs of the Chongqing authorities. On the contrary, there is little demand for this.

Originally, the dispatched troops were very dissatisfied with the "sale" of Wuhan and other places to Chongqing, but now they feel that it is not bad to do so, and the war is not just to make money from China? At present, China does not need tariffs or land taxes, and the amount of money earned is its own, and the supply of products exceeds demand, and there is not even a decent competitor, so it is simply lying down and making a fortune. Since you can make money by doing business, then why fight to the death with the Chinese, the brain is broken?

Although the Kwantung Army was not satisfied with the export of oil by the Chinese troops, it could not withstand the sarcasm of the Chinese troops -- you have a good life with the oil of the Soviet Union and the oil of the Northern Birch Valley, and you still control the Sino-Russian trade route, and we can't even import crude oil from the Middle East and process it to make some money? It's okay not to let me export, and give me a part of the oil you got from Beihuatai! The Kwantung Army could only be speechless.

Can a refinery do it, but can a chemical plant, a steel plant, or a machinery plant do it? Of course, it is also possible, so the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, especially a few coastal cities along the Yangtze River, began the process of industrialization and export again, and with Japan's unique seriousness and meticulousness, they carried out the planning of coastal industrial zones, made "three links and one leveling" and "attracting investment", and built special industrial and trade zones to achieve militarized management; it happened that Germany, Italy, and France also had surplus and outdated industries and wanted to export, so they negotiated a package agreement, and the three European countries cooperated with Japan to carry out industrial exports to China, and Europe invested in industrial equipment and technology, but accepted Japan's unified management. Otherwise, Japan would not let European countries in.

In order to better coordinate these relations, Germany and Italy set up an office in Shanghai, and even the Gestapo was sent to Shanghai in order to effectively protect their own interests, so the atmosphere in Shanghai began to recover again.
