In fact, Yang Zhen was also surprised to hear that the Soviet Union was so efficient, not only had it signed a purchase agreement with the Americans, but had even paid half of the purchase price as a deposit, with their always stingy character, how could they be so reckless, could it be that they ordered this batch of planes for another reason, hundreds of new fighters, this is obviously not something that can be done in a short period of time. 【. netbsp; Yang Zhen didn't know at all that this batch of planes was not ordered by the Soviet side specifically for himself at the beginning, in fact, negotiations on this batch of planes had already begun as early as the end of last year, and the original number of planes ordered by the Soviet side was not so large, but only five planes.

The performance of the I-15 and I-16 fighters, the main force of the fighter, has lagged behind, and the new fighter is not only still under development, but has also encountered many problems in the process of development, especially in the aspect of high-power engines, and the developed motives are either too cumbersome or the performance does not meet the requirements at all.

In order to speed up the process, after the British refused to sell the new aircraft because of their motive for invading Poland, they turned their attention to another aviation power, the United States.

The capitalist Americans were still relatively neat, and after receiving a request from the Soviet side to buy them, they happily promised to sell a batch of advanced motives and aircraft technology, but there was one condition, the motive for buying alone was not enough, and if they wanted to buy it, they had to buy it together with the plane.

And at the beginning, the Americans were only willing to provide F-2 Buffalo fighters or P-36 fighters sold to other countries, these two aircraft with no better performance than the I-16 fighters to get there, the Americans were shrewd, but the Soviets were not stupid, they spent a lot of money to buy planes with similar performance to their own, and their heads were not kicked by donkeys.

The Soviets named and asked for two new aircraft under development in the United States, including the P-40 fighter that Yang Zhen had just put into production, but the Americans did not agree to buy it, but at most they could only sell the upgraded version of the Hawker 75 fighter ordered by France, which had a much lower performance.

What the Soviets, who were just about to give up, did not expect was that the turn of events came after the New Year of this year, and the Americans, not knowing why, suddenly agreed to provide another new P-39 fighter jet, although they did not agree to sell the P-40 fighter.

As soon as the Soviets, who were eager for new foreign fighters, heard that the Americans were willing to provide such aircraft performance, and especially when they heard that the planes were actually equipped with 37-millimeter cannons and two 12.7-millimeter large-caliber machine guns for the first time in history, they immediately agreed to order a batch of such fighters without saying a word.

It's just that the Americans are shrewd, and the Soviets are not stupid, and after sending people to see the test flight of this kind of aircraft, which is the latest even in the US 6th Army, they placed a large order in one go, and there are five P39A fighters that the Americans have just completed the purchase contract, that is, the Bell 12 aircraft.

The number of planes ordered was not much, but the motive was to ask for 100 units in one bite, and all of them were Allison motives with 1,090 horsepower used in turbocharged prototype aircraft, as for the fighters, as long as there were five, they refused to buy more, after all, the Soviets bought American planes to solve the bottlenecks they encountered in developing new aircraft, not to use them as standard equipment, what to buy so much.

The Americans, who knew what the Soviets were thinking, offered to buy it, but at least 200 of them, but considering the traditional friendship between the United States and the Soviet Union, the last 100 could be sold at half price, and if the Soviets bought the number of fighters set by the United States, the Americans could consider selling the motivation technology used in the aircraft.

At this time, Yang Zhen came up, and the Soviets took advantage of this rare opportunity to quickly reach a purchase agreement with the Americans, not only in accordance with the requirements of the Americans, all the planes were ordered, but also took advantage of the situation to order an additional number of up to 1,000 units.

The Americans got rid of this kind of aircraft, which they considered to be inferior in performance and was criticized a lot for even being used as a training plane, and also ensured that the contract for 300 planes ordered from Bell could be completed smoothly, so that they could use the contract to increase the production capacity of their own aircraft and prepare for future war.

The Soviets, on the other hand, were given the aircraft motivation technology they wanted, as well as Western technology that could provide a reference for the production of their new fighters, especially its 37-millimeter gun, which made the Soviets, who had always liked large-caliber weapons, to the extreme.

You must know that this kind of fighter is the only one equipped with this caliber cannon in this era, and you must know that most of the main guns of tanks in this era are only 37 mm, and this kind of aircraft equipped with large-caliber cannons, self-enclosed fuel tanks, and wireless communication equipment is tantamount to a kind of air tank in the eyes of the Soviets.

In fact, the Americans agreed to sell these planes because they had a hard time!! After the delivery of these fighters, which were produced in accordance with the requirements of the US Sixth Army to reduce their performance, the US Sixth Army aviation unit suffered a lot, and the US pilots were extremely unsuitable for this new type of aircraft, and few pilots were willing to use it even as training planes.

At the beginning, the Americans ordered more than 80 planes, but in less than two months, half of them were dropped, and the remaining 50 or so had to be mothballed, and the rest of the orders were canceled.

You must know that in order to find a fighter that can compete with the German Messerschmitt 109 fighter after the end of the Polish campaign, so as to replace the old P-36 fighter, the US 6th Army, under the instigation of the Bell Company, has ordered as many as 108 planes, which is a lot of money for the US 6th Army, which is far from being rich and generous in later generations.

What is even worse is that in order to solve the problem that the Americans have already entered the war, their own fighter production capacity is far from sufficient to meet the needs of the war, and it is too late to temporarily expand production capacity; although there are Spitfires whose performance is far superior to that of American fighters, the number of British aircraft produced is far from sufficient to meet the needs of the British aircraft production capacity is insufficient.

Of course, there is also a disaster in this, and the reason for wanting to transfer this hot contract is that after blowing the performance of this kind of aircraft to the sky, not only generously transferred its follow-up orders to the British side, but also ordered 200 planes for others in one go.

It's just that although the British rushed to the hospital in a hurry, they were not stupid, and now the performance of this aircraft is not suitable for them, they immediately proposed to return the goods, but they were worried that the same result would appear in the United States 6 Army, and the Bell Company, which took advantage of the sufficient production capacity of the United States, completed the production contract in just a few months, resolutely refused.

After being resolutely refused, the British, who had nothing to do, promised that they could pay for the planes first, but the Americans had to find a way to sell them, and then return the funds to the British.

In order to prevent the Soviets from regretting it like the British, the Americans even promised to transport this batch of planes over within two months, of course, within two months, the Soviets would also pay the rest of the payment in one lump sum, as for those turbochargers, it was simpler to dismantle the P-40 fighters ordered by the US 6th Army and press them, anyway, the Americans would not be in a hurry to use them for a while.

Although the transfer of this new technology of turbochargers has made the Americans feel a little distressed, for the sake of such a large contract, they will not pursue it, and when these fighters appeared in the skies over the northeast, the Japanese who were thunderous and thunderous protested to the United States and the Soviet Union respectively, but they enjoyed the treatment of kicking a ball.

The Americans said that these planes were sold to the Soviets, and that how the Soviets used them had nothing to do with them, but the Soviets stressed that these planes were sold by the Americans, and that they were completely commercial, and that they could not interfere or control them, and that these planes were not their own standard equipment, and that they had not violated the agreement reached with the Japanese.

The Japanese, who were pushed around by both sides and played football, could not find any way but to protest, had no choice but to swallow such a large fly, and strengthened their determination to go south.

The Americans thought they had taken advantage of it and got rid of this batch of garbage, while the Soviets thought they had bought a new type of fighter jet, but they did not expect that Yang Zhen would be cheaper in the end, although this was not the fighter they wanted the most, but Yang Zhen, who was confident that he had a certain understanding of this kind of fighter, believed that he could guide his pilots to use this batch of planes with actually quite good performance.

It's just that what the Americans didn't expect in the follow-up exhibition was that the Soviets did not transfer all the 358 fighters in total, including the more than 50 fighters that the Americans had on hand, to Yang Zhen, and they directly detained 30 fighters.

At the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet Air Force, which had suffered too great losses, remembered the 25 such planes that had been dismantled and used as a reserve by themselves.

After the completion of these hundreds of orders, because there were no follow-up orders, the Bell Company, which almost did not go bankrupt, not only recovered its vitality, but also took advantage of the situation to make a big windfall, and in the hands of Yang Zhen, who had a certain understanding of the performance of this kind of fighter, this kind of fighter that was not popular because of its avant-garde design also shined.

Later, the Pacific War broke out, Yang Zhen learned about these things from the US military observation group stationed in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but he didn't care, although the Americans did not do it very glorious, but after all, they let themselves get a batch of fighters with excellent performance, and besides, it is not the first time that the Americans have done this kind of thing that harms others and benefits themselves, but this time they are much luckier than their last victims.

Although these fighters resold to themselves this time were goods they did not want to ask for, they were much better than the Mississippi-class battleships that they did not even dare to go to sea when they took advantage of the fire and robbery before the war, and took advantage of Greece's hunger and thirst for new battleships to the point of panicking.

Of course, it's all an afterthought, the current Yang Zhen doesn't care why these planes came so quickly, what he cares about now is whether the Soviets will put forward other conditions in addition to the loan interest, if they don't change their original intentions, and ask themselves to transfer to the intelligence network, then it is still a matter of principle,
