Chapter 42: Lost Patience
Yang Zhen also took into account that Guo Bingxun is an all-rounder in the military. But in terms of economy, he is still a lot worse. Only then did he directly tell him what position should be focused on the collection of intelligence like this. After all, Yang Zhen couldn't have experienced everything in person. He doesn't have so much energy to do everything, and Guo Bingxun needs to focus on it.
As for other truths, Guo Bingxun, who has also experienced Su's difficult struggle for work, does not understand. In particular, at present, the Anti-Japanese Federation has entered the most critical moment, and Guo Bingxun is quite supportive of carrying out intelligence reconnaissance against the Soviet Union in order to adjust the policy of the Anti-Japanese Federation toward the Soviet Union.
And for the Soviet radio decipherment, he is the pioneer. The first deciphered Soviet wireless telegraph was made by him with two staff officers of the Ministry of Communications. It was precisely this first complete deciphered wireless telegraph that opened a window for the anti-Japanese federation to decipher the Soviet radio.
In fact, with the current situation that he and Yang Zhen have in their hearts, Yang Zhen has no need to explain anything. As long as Yang Zhen puts forward ideas, Guo Bingxun will always come up with the required ideas at the first time. The close cooperation between the two has reached a certain level, what is Yang Zhen thinking, how can Guo Bingxun not know and understand?
It's just that this matter is too serious, and once it is detected by some quarters, it will not only be from the Soviet Union, but also within the party, the military, and the Anti-Japanese Federation. There are some things, Yang Zhen hesitated for a long time, but he decided to talk to Guo Bingxun, which can be regarded as a preventive shot in advance.
Guo Bingxun did not wait for Li Yanping to return, and returned to the Ministry of Communications. Yang Zhen has never let the Soviet Union directly intervene, but has always let him participate behind the scenes. Regarding Yang Zhen's disguised protection of himself, Guo Bingxun, who knows it well, will naturally not take the initiative to make trouble for himself.
After Guo Bingxun left, Yang Zhen did not immediately go to meet with the Soviet representatives. Instead, he was patient, and only after Li Yanping and the two old handsomes who had gone and returned came back did Yang Zhen receive the Soviet representatives who came to the door in the middle of the night and were already waiting impatiently in the reception room at this time.
This time, the Soviet representatives were very straight to the point and told Yang Zhen bluntly, and they agreed to the demands of the Anti-Japanese Union. However, in terms of the distribution ratio of materials, except for cotton and gasoline this time, as well as American-made aircraft parts, the rest of the Soviet side demanded that the Anti-Japanese Union transfer at least one-third.
At the same time, all trains, railway equipment, and American-made trucks should be handed over to the Soviet side this time. In terms of the future US aid in materials, weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union and the Anti-Japanese Federation, the Anti-Japanese Federation should transfer at least 10 percent of the materials obtained to the Soviet Union free of charge.
Regarding the ideas of the Soviets and the so-called big belly, Yang Zhen did not agree. Except for the gasoline and cotton, which were to be transported to the Resistance League, the rest of the materials except for the railway equipment, which could be transferred to the Soviet side free of charge, and the Soviet side should release all the materials in accordance with the agreement.
However, considering the difficulties encountered by the Soviet side in the current war. The Anti-Union agreed to transfer the current inventory of American-made trucks to a part of the Soviet Union. At the same time, 100 P-39 fighters were transferred to the Soviet side among the fighters currently in stock.
Yang Zhen directly told the Soviets that the Anti-Japanese Union was originally preparing to transfer a large number of P40 fighters. However, considering that the Soviet army has a greater demand for anti-tank, and the P-39 fighter is equipped with a 37-mm cannon, which can be used as an anti-tank weapon when necessary, the anti-United Nations has made adjustments in this regard. The P-40 fighter was replaced with a P-39 fighter that was more in line with the current operational needs of the Soviet Union.
As for the distribution of US aid materials in the future, Yang Zhen agreed to agree to the Soviets' request for another 5 percentage points in terms of armor steel, electrolytic aluminum, copper, tin, lead, and other military materials for making guns and bullets. However, in terms of smokeless gunpowder, artillery shell steel, steel for guns, and rare metals such as nickel and chromium, the bulls can only be conceded by another three percentage points.
However, considering the current predicament of the Soviet Union, and the help of the previous confrontation alliance. In order to solve the current predicament of the Soviet Union in the military industry, the Anti-Japanese Union can use the steel for guns and artillery aided by the United States to manufacture a batch of light weapons for the Soviet Union, mainly submachine guns, so as to alleviate the slight shortage of light weapons in the Soviet Union.
If the grain and other materials aided by the Americans are transferred to the Soviet side, the Anti-Japanese Federation can promise to transfer all of them to the Soviet side, so as to alleviate the possible food crisis on the Soviet side after the loss of the main agricultural areas in the west. At the same time, the Anti-Union can provide a part of the meat as a repayment for the tolls owed to the Soviet side.
However, the Soviet side had to make certain concessions to the United Nations in terms of cotton, as well as corresponding products and medical equipment. Considering that the Central Asian region of the Soviet Union is one of the largest cotton producing areas in the world, the Soviet side should concede another seven to ten percent to the resistance to the United Nations in terms of cotton and other products.
The Anti-United Nations can make certain concessions in terms of military aircraft and American-made tanks. From the share of the Americans' aid to the Anti-Japanese Union, a part of the allocation was transferred to the Soviet side. As for the proportion, it can be in accordance with the ratio that if the Americans provide a hundred fighters, the Anti-Union can transfer thirteen to the Soviet Union. In terms of the number of tanks, the same can be done.
However, the Soviet Union had to exchange all of the C46 in this batch of materials to the Anti-Japanese Federation. And as compensation, the Soviets should hand over their Il-2 fighter production technology to the Anti-Union. On the basis of the Yak-9 fighter, which is currently being test-flown in a test flight, a long-range fighter with a range of 2,300 kilometers will be developed for the Anti-United Nations.
If the Soviet side can guarantee that it will not use any hands or feet on military steel and industrial equipment, it will hand over all the equipment that the United States has provided to the Anti-Japanese Federation. The Anti-Union could transfer all the anti-aircraft artillery, half of the anti-tank artillery, and all the radio equipment provided by the United States to the Soviet side. But the Soviet side could not do anything from the transport cars aided by the United States.
Even if the Soviet side can provide all the equipment in full according to the requirements of the Anti-Japanese Union, especially the required quantity and all the drawings of the ZLS Type 3 76-mm cannon and the T-34 tank, and send some workers to assist in production. Then, after the arrival of all this batch of equipment, all the recoilless guns, rocket launchers, and anti-aircraft weapons promised will be handed over to the Soviet side in the shortest possible time.
In terms of the amount of truck aid from the United States and the railway equipment, the Anti-United Nations can also make certain concessions. However, the Soviet side will transfer all captured German tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and steel helmets to the Anti-United Nations side from now until the end of the war, so as to make up for the losses of the Anti-United Nations in this regard.
and, until the end of the war, all German prisoners of war were all technicians in aeronautical engineering, tank and artillery construction, graduates of polytechnic universities. Of course, the 5,000 German experts captured by the Soviet and British troops during the attack on Iran in August must also be handed over to the Anti-Japanese Federation as a supplement to the desperately scarce technical personnel in the Anti-Japanese Union.
The Anti-United Nations agreed to share all the technology with the Soviet Union if the United States transferred the aviation technology to the United States. However, the Soviet Union should also share the latest Soviet fighter technology with the Anti-Japanese Union. At the same time, the Soviet Union wanted to transfer all the German light weapons and all ammunition captured in the current war against Germany to the Anti-Japanese Union.
After stating the final decision of the Anti-Japanese Federation, Yang Zhen directly told the assistant chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army that this is the final bottom line of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and it is also the bottom line that cannot be conceded. The Anti-Union has made the greatest concessions, and at the same time sacrificed part of its own interests to meet the demands of the Soviet side. If the Soviet side is still not greedy enough, then the Anti-Japanese Union can think that there is no need to continue talks.
This time, no matter what kind of beard the Soviet Union spent in his stomach, Yang Zhen simply came to be open and honest. The Soviets came to the door so late, but they couldn't delay any longer. Whatever the reason, whether it was the situation on the battlefield or the pressure exerted by the United States and Britain, these greedy Soviets could make some concessions, at least superficially, and it also showed that something must have happened in Moscow recently.
Moreover, these Soviets changed the suits and leather shoes they wore during the previous negotiations, all of them were uniforms, and the medals on their chests were shiny. It also shows from another aspect that this time the Soviets are going to really lose patience completely and solve it all at once.
In fact, not only the Soviets have lost the patience to continue talking, but even Yang Zhen has lost the patience to continue to mess with them. Now that the war has just ended, there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with. Yang Zhen, who still has to prepare for the next battle in a few months, how can he have so much mind to play with the Soviets?
It's not just that I don't have time, I'm playing with them. And Yang Zhen, who was already extremely tired physically and mentally, didn't have the energy to grind his teeth with them right now. In other words, both sides of this negotiation have lost patience to continue talks. Now that the Soviets have made their so-called final attitude clear, Yang Zhen has no need to hesitate.
After saying all his conditions, Yang Zhen looked at the commander of the former Yugoslav Front of the Soviet Army, who was only a lieutenant general, but actually played a decisive role in this negotiation. At this time, because he lost all of his southern Ukraine and basically lost his army of the Southern Front, he was hanging an idle post in the General Staff and receiving re-education.
For the negotiating opponent in front of him, Yang Zhen can be said to have admired his name for a long time in later generations. This old man was a lieutenant general before the war began, and he was a lieutenant general until the end of the war. People's positions in the war are all rising, and as the war progresses, it rises higher and higher. Even if he did not become the commander of the front army, at least this rank did not delay promotion.
His brother's position deteriorated, and less than two months after the start of the war, he sat in the position of commander of the Southern Front of the Soviet Army, the military commander of the strategic cluster responsible for the entire southern operation. By the end of the war, he served as an ordinary infantry commander. Re-education in Moscow is much more time spent on the cold bench than on the front line.
Of course, among the generals of the Soviet army, there were better twists and turns than him in the whole war, and there were several people who went up and down. But there is no such thing as him, who has not even kept the position of deputy commander of a group army. Before the war, the generals in the Soviet army, as long as they lived to the end of the war, were not captured, and were not captured by their own people, basically achieved the position of commander of the group army.
However, it is a miracle that this guy can save his life under the premise of losing all the Southern Front Army and Ukraine, which will never give up, in the words of the fatherly leader. It's just that Yang Zhen couldn't figure it out, how could the old gentleman in Moscow send such a guy who has been defeated many times to be in charge of this negotiation?
After personally participating in this negotiation, Yang Zhen saw at first glance that this guy was the main person in charge of this negotiation. And the deputy general of the Soviet ** Ordnance Department next to him is just a superficial figure pushed out by the Soviets, this guy who has suffered enough defeats on the battlefield is the real brain of the Soviets in this negotiation.
