Pearson, who has been trained very well, has no expression for Yang Zhen's cynicism. He also knew that he was noisy, and he couldn't surpass this sharp-toothed guy. He is sarcastic and sarcastic, and he has done as much as he can. If you can't do it yourself, you can't kill it. Pearson didn't speak, and Yang Zhen himself had no interest in quarreling.

It's just that Yang Zhen didn't expect that until the first half of '43, the Americans only gave a few batches of less than 200 P-40K fighters and P-39 fighters. During this period, the fighters aided by the United States and Britain were mainly Hurricane-style fighters. From Type II to Type IV, all of the Hurricane's later models were equipped.

Moreover, the US-aided P 39 fighters were replaced by the Soviets, who were in urgent need of anti-tank means, with the Hurricane fighters given to them by the British. Throughout World War II, the Anti-United Nations became the largest overseas user of Hurricane fighters, even surpassing Canada and Australia in the British Dominion.

However, the aviation army's evaluation of this British-made Hurricane fighter that Yang Zhen hated was not as Yang Zhen imagined. In addition to their weaker firepower and shorter legs, these Hurricane fighters are more popular than American-made P-39 fighters in the anti-United Nations air force.

The evaluation of this aircraft by the fighter units of the Anti-United Nations is basically the same as that of the P-40B fighter used before. Compared to Blenheim, which is far less popular than the A-20 attack aircraft, this Hurricane fighter with strong ground attack capabilities is still very popular.

Yang Zhen was also surprised by the evaluation of the aviation force. Perhaps, as Pearson said, the British used the tactics of the European theater to fight against the Japanese army, which led to the crushing defeat of the British army. If the tactics are opposed, even against the Falcon and Zero, this aircraft still has a certain ability to resist.

Since the aviation force recognized this kind of aircraft, Yang Zhen did not raise too many objections. Just like Pearson guy said, let's solve the problem first, as for the performance, as long as it is not bad, it is too outrageous, like those Battle light light bombers, it is not unacceptable.

As for those Battle light bombers, although they withdrew from the front-line combat units. But in the Anti-United Nations, they did not really retire directly. Rather, as an aerial towing aircraft, a light transport aircraft, plus a conversion trainer aircraft and a ground attack training aircraft for British-made aircraft, they were active until they were completely scrapped until they reached the end of their service life.

After sending Pearson away, Yang Zhen did not rush back to the headquarters together, but was left behind by Fang Ziyi, commander of the aviation force, and Li Ming, the newly appointed commander of the Strategic Bombing Command, to report on his work. However, when these two guys faced Yang Zhen alone, they hesitated.

Looking at the two people with some ink, Yang Zhen frowned and said, "Both of you are senior cadres, and everyone is also a soldier, what can't you say directly?" What do you think about it? As long as it's not a violation of discipline, I can approve it. But let's just say it first, the matter of intellectuals is in the hands of the political commissar and the director of the military region, and it is useless to look for me. ”

Yang Zhen spoke, and Fang Ziyi, who knew that he couldn't say anything more, gritted his teeth and said, "No. 1, there are really three things this time. The first one is really a matter of talents, but it is not because of the selection of people in the base area, it is an intellectual who came from Kannai and caused some trouble. ”

"Just before the start of this battle, a man followed a delegation from the central government from Chongqing to the northeast. This person is a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, majoring in aeronautical engineering. At that time you were busy organizing this campaign, so it didn't bother you. ”

Hearing Fang Ziyi's words, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't that a good thing?" The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) majors in the United States are among the top in the world. Many researchers in the United States in cutting-edge weapons have graduated from this university. For us, talent is rare. The students who graduated there don't have a single wine bag and rice bag, they are all absolutely genuine. ”

"It's a good thing to have such a person. But the old side, you shouldn't tell me about these things, but you should also say that someone from the Political Department of the Military Region reported to me. Today you bring it up, you don't want to put them in the Air Forces, do you? I can tell you, it's absolutely not going to work. ”

"If this person is studying the aviation industry, then he is the talent we urgently need right now. He should be put in an aircraft factory to become an engineer, or he should go to a polytechnic university to bring more talents like him. It's not put here for you, that's a bit of a Lang fee. ”

Yang Zhen's words made Fang Ziyi shake his hand again and again: "No. 1, I didn't mean that. Our small temple really can't accommodate this great god. I'm not talking to you today about this because I want to bring him over. It was because when the Political Department of the Military Region examined it, it found some problems in him. ”

"The Political Department of the Military Region is a department specially responsible for examining intellectuals who have come from the Guannai, and it has been investigated by the Eighth Office of the Chongqing Side. It was found that before he came to the Northeast, he worked as the chief engineer of an aircraft engine factory in Chongqing, and he also had the rank of colonel. ”

"After examining these problems, the Political Department of the Military Region meant to send this person back and send it back from there. No. 1, after this person came to the Northeast, because he studied aeronautical engineering, I talked to him. This person is definitely a talent, and the theoretical knowledge of aeronautical engineering is quite solid, and such a talent is exactly what we urgently need. ”

"Even if he's a colonel on the Chongqing side, so what? He's an engineer, he's not a spy, and he's not even wearing a military uniform. You have said more than once that we should be open-minded when it comes to recruiting talents. As long as some small problems of intellectuals are not major problems, we should tolerate them and help them correct them. ”

"We could have violated the policy of giving a small amount of tobacco to a few of the professors who came from college who had a big smoking problem until they quit completely. Why can't we tolerate an engineer with the rank of colonel, who is just an intellectual who wants to serve the country? And when he came to the Northeast, he couldn't stand the corruption in Chongqing officialdom. ”

"I went to the Political Department of the Military Region many times, but the deputy director in charge just didn't agree. It is not good to say that we resolutely do not want people from Chongqing, let alone a colonel, not even a second lieutenant. At present, the domestic political situation is delicate, and his stay with us as a colonel will cause bipartisan disputes. ”

"Second, it is also possible that this person is a spy sent by Chongqing to secretly break into an important position within us. Our aircraft factory is our core secret department, and it must not be accessed by people with such backgrounds. Even if he doesn't have a problem, he definitely can't. ”

"No. 1, I'm really poor in donkey skills now, and I just take advantage of today's opportunity, I want to ask you to see if I can talk to the Political Department and keep this person. We lack this kind of talent, but Chongqing also lacks it. Even if Chongqing wanted to spy on our intelligence, it would not send such a doctor of aviation to study in the United States. ”

"What kind of school is his MIT, I don't know if I have a low level of education. But I know that he is studying aviation and building airplanes, and that is the talent we need. I am the commander of the air force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and I must stay with this kind of person. If I can't keep him, I've made a big mistake. ”

Fang Ziyi's words made Yang Zhen stunned. Isn't it obvious that what is going on with this political department is overkill? Just because of a vain rank of colonel, such a precious talent should be driven away, what do they think?

After listening to Fang Ziyi's detailed introduction to this person, Yang Zhen was even more angry and just wanted to scold his mother. Fang Ziyi said that this person, he occasionally read a copy in later generations, and when he introduced the scientific magazine of the father of missiles in China in later generations, he also read the introduction of this person.

He is the cousin of the gentleman who later became known as the father of Chinese missiles, and like his cousin, he is a scientific elite, and his achievements and knowledge are definitely not below his cousin. It's just that in the Americans, who are full of scientific and technological talents, because of the different environment, they are not as dazzling as his cousin's performance at home. But when it comes to real talent, he has absolutely no inferiority.

And what kind of university is MIT, which is the top university in the world. The graduates of this school are basically equated with iron rice bowls in the United States. If Yale and Harvard have trained countless politicians and economists, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has supported half of the American aerospace industry.

At this time, I can give up the preferential treatment of the United States and return to China. He also gave up the high-ranking officials given by Chongqing to come to the northeast, which shows that they are still sincere. It's not that people can't find a well-paid job in the United States, so why do they have to come to your side to suffer and suffer?

Such a talent, even if you can't invite it, now that people are here themselves, they still have to drive people out? What exactly do they think? You know, even in the future of China, how many PhDs from MIT graduates?

The Americans almost dominated the world aviation in later generations, and the role of this school was crucial. It can be said that the graduates of this school have supported half of the scientific and technological talents in the aviation and aerospace industries in the United States. The most important thing is that if you can win him, you can also win his cousin, as well as a group of top scholars in the United States.

Whatever the reason, the Political Department of the Military Region will have a very bad impact on this. It not only affects the current talent competition, but even directly affects the future competition for talents. This person must not be let go, whether it is needed at the moment or not, this person must not be easily let go when he comes. If you really let him go, you won't forgive yourself.

After pondering carefully, Yang Zhen said: "If you think of a way, you must leave this person behind, and I will talk to the Political Department of the Military Region, so you don't care." In this way, let him go to the military university to report first, and stay there to give lectures first. Don't just arrange for someone to send him to report, let your commissar send him personally. As for the future arrangements for work, I would like to consider it carefully. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's statement that he should not only keep people, but also reuse them, Fang Ziyi smiled bitterly: "No. 1, it may be a little late now." We hurt people so badly this time, can they stay? The factory did not let people see it, and the planes and troops did not let people come into contact with them, but they wanted to visit the military university university, but they did not let him go. ”

"After coming to the Northeast for more than a month, he could only wander around the guest house. A little farther away, the people sent by the Political Department stopped him in disguise, he hadn't even seen what Harbin was like? We are so suspicious of him, so distrustful, how can he stay? ”

"He has told me several times that he wants to go back to Chongqing, or that we can go through a formality for them, and that they can go back to the United States directly from us. Anyway, they all want to go back to the United States, and since there is no way to serve the country, it's the same from there. It's just that Lao Xia let the Political Department of the Aviation Force drag it out and didn't do it, so he temporarily retained people. ”
