Yang Zhen is not a Su fan, nor a German fan, nor a penny. He only analyzed and judged from a fair perspective of a normal and rational soldier and from a military perspective with a fair eye the real military qualities and combat effectiveness of the participating countries.

Although most Chinese in this era, like the vast majority of Chinese people, have an incomparable hatred for the Japanese. In the face of all kinds of evil deeds of the Japanese army, he was eager to completely expel the Japanese army from China at once. But as a soldier, Yang Zhen still realistically believes that the Japanese army's infantry tactics have shortcomings of one kind or another. But it is definitely the best infantry tactic of all the participating countries in the entire World War II, and it is also the tactic that is most in line with Japan's own actual situation. Its weapons and equipment are also quite in line with its own tactical requirements.

Similarly, Yang Zhen always believed that the British army could not even reach the third rate. In the whole of Britain in World War II, the so-called famous army generals, almost none worth mentioning. Especially that Montgomery, Yang Zhen looked down on him very much. He thinks that this famous commander of the British army in World War II is not a famous general at all.

It is not so much to rely on strategy and tactics to defeat the opponent, but rather to rely on absolute sea and air superiority and use sufficient supplies to defeat the opponent. This guy's cousin after landing in Western Europe is actually not even barely qualified. Yang Zhen has always thought that all the generals of the British Army, and that Alexander is barely qualified.

But the performance of its navy and air force is definitely first-class. In particular, the air force's performance was almost impeccable, except for being relatively conservative in tactics and equipment at the beginning of the war. If the tactical level can only be said to be good, then the level of the strategic air force is super-first-class.

Its overall strength is definitely not to be underestimated. For the British, you can despise short-sightedness in some respects, you can look down on their army. But the Navy and Air Force of the British, you must not despise and look down on them. Whoever underestimates the British navy and air force will only suffer on the battlefield.

Learning from advanced experience is not an empty talk for Yang Zhen. Adopting the strengths of others, making up for their weaknesses, and forming their own set of well-established strategies and tactics is what Yang Zhen wants. We can't ignore our own reality and stick to it. But you can't do it behind closed doors and do your own thing.

What Yang Zhen knows even more is that without the experience of long-range transoceanic flights, as well as advanced navigation equipment and talents, the strategic bombing of Japan can only be a dream. Now the British have taken the initiative to propose this construction, which is really a rare opportunity in Yang Zhen's opinion. So for this construction of the British, Yang Zhen agreed without thinking about it.

That's a good thing, why not agree? It's sleepy, and someone brings a pillow, isn't that good? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss it, you will delay it. The Anti-United Nations does not have the same capital as the Americans, and it is hard to pile up strategies and tactics with planes.

After receiving the mention from the British, the anxious Yang Zhen didn't care whether the British's proposal could really be implemented. Immediately give an order to the air force to immediately select 60 detachment commanders or more veteran pilots with more than two years of military experience, 300 new pilots, 300 cadres with at least a high school education, and 1,500 air crew personnel to form a training team to learn English.

At the same time, the political department of the military region must do its utmost to mobilize a number of professional English interpreters for the air force. When Gao Yumin asked about the number, Yang Zhen only said how many there were. He also demanded that the Air Force Command and the Political Department should dispatch the best training staff officers and do everything possible to familiarize these interpreters with the components and tactics of combat aircraft.

Yang Zhen has always attached great importance to the work of translation. You should know that if you are not familiar with the translation, it is very likely that the meaning of the translation will be off topic. The difference on the device is easy to correct, as long as the general meaning can be translated. But if the tactical and technical translation is not in place, it is easy to delay the big thing.

A slip of the tongue in these translations will be made up for with blood and lives on the battlefield. Therefore, Yang Zhen demanded that the political department of the aviation force must conduct strict training for these selected translators. And as far as possible kuài familiar with aviation equipment and tactics, as well as the corresponding equipment.

As a result, his order almost did not toss a person on his back with the general's district administration and aviation troops. Three hundred new pilots, the aviation side has come up with it. According to Yang Zhen's order, the number of pilots trained by the aviation force is now 1,500. By the end of the year, 700 people had completed flight training. Three hundred pilots, it is not difficult.

Sixty veteran pilots, all of whom are at least two years of military experience or cadres above the rank of detachment leader, gritted their teeth and took them out. However, these cadres of the 300 countries with high cultural qualifications are a headache for the air force. The starting point of the army is low, and the overall cultural level is low, and these 300 cadres of the national high school education program are really a bit difficult.

As the aviation unit of the entire Anti-Japanese Federation, which gives the highest priority to the troops, there are quite a few cadres in the National High School of Culture, and the 300 are not completely impossible to come up with. But these cadres are now the main force in ground handling. If too many are transferred at once, it will affect the combat readiness of the air force. But who would not dare to carry out the order of No. 1.

For all the high-ranking cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation, if it is said that because the political commissar is generous, if his orders are a little tricky, he can still bargain on a certain level. The order of the third is not non-negotiable. Then the order of No. 1, no one dares to discount the execution.

In the end, the air force had no choice but to ask for help from Li Yanping, acting political commissar of the military region and political commissar of the field army. Fortunately, Li Yanping, as a political commissar, is well aware of the current situation of the troops. Considering the impact on the combat readiness of the air force if 300 cadres from the national high school education program were really transferred at once, Li Yanping still made certain adjustments.

Of course, he still supports Yang Zhen's request. He knew that the number of 300 cadres of the National High School was already the lowest for Yang Zhen. For this matter, Li Yanping went to the commander-in-chief. From this year's graduates of the national high schools in the base areas, an additional 300 air force units have been allocated.

Considering the issue of specialization and foundation, Li Yanping clearly ordered the aviation force that all of these recruits would not be allowed to be transferred to Britain to study. Among the selected people, there must be at least a hundred veterans. And all the people who are selected must go through strict selection and screening. A considerable part of these 300 people were trained for them to be substitutes.

Li Yanping repeatedly proposed that the selected people should not only be technically qualified, but also politically competent. I'd rather not have enough to find a way, and never allow the slightest unstable factor to appear. In Li Yanping's view, to study in Britain, which is an imperialist, one must be absolutely politically firm.

Otherwise, once someone is seduced by the imperialist world of flowers and forgets his hard and simple style and identity as a member, then the fun will be great. If someone is seduced by the imperialists to defect and become a traitor, it will be even more embarrassing for the United Nations.

For Li Yanping now, after so many things, although his favorability towards the Soviet Union has dropped sharply, he is no longer a big brother like before. But after all, he had received many years of Marxist-Leninist education. Germany, Italy and Japan are both imperialist and fascist countries. But the United States and Britain are still real capitalist countries.

Although it cannot be said that the selfless spirit is not dead as before, it is also necessary to take precautions to prevent any accidents. Now it is only because of the relationship of interests that unite the allies, but this necessary precaution still needs to be done. Compared with Yang Zhen, who only made a fortune in his stomach and excluded and guarded, Li Yanping, the political commissar, had to put it into action.

He repeatedly stressed that in selecting cadres to study, they must be politically and ideologically strong. In his words, be red and dedicated. It is necessary to ensure that the technology is mastered, but it is also necessary to learn the decadent ideas of capitalism. Oh, the red and dedicated sentence was still said by Yang Zhen. This bottom line is what Li Yanping has repeatedly requested.

In fact, at a time when various factories have been launched one after another, and various specialized schools have begun to recruit students one after another, it is not easy to transfer the 300 new recruits who have graduated from national high schools to the air force. It was the commander-in-chief who put a lot of effort into the additional deployment of the aviation units from the plan.

In order to add these 300 highly educated recruits to the air force, the commander-in-chief did not fake others, and personally calculated the number of high school graduates this year, all night. The commander-in-chief calculated in detail, even the graduates of the puppet Manchurian high school and the graduates of the Shidao School in the new district.

Especially under the current situation of special approval, the transfer of these 300 high school graduates to the aviation force from there is really a headache for him. He didn't mind opening this back door to the air force in violation of the regulations, but now there was a bunch of guys at his door every day.

At this juncture, he violated the rules and transferred 300 people at once, and they could only be male students, which really gave him a headache. That's right, the 300 high school graduates who are now being transferred to the air force are indeed violating the strict regulations of the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Military Region on recruiting high school graduates to enlist in the army.

At present, the entire Northeast Bureau and Military Region have extremely strict requirements for high school students to enlist in the army, in the words of several Standing Committee members. This requirement is not picky about students, but strict regulations on the number of students recruited into the military. It's not about making more moves, it's about making as few moves as possible.

This was decided after Yang Zhen quarreled with other Standing Committee members of the Military Region Standing Committee for a whole day, and then quarreled at the Standing Committee of the Northeast Bureau for half the night and slapped the table. In fact, as the commander of a military region, he is more eager than anyone else to recruit as many intellectuals as possible into the army and build the army into an army of minds.

With the continuous emergence of new military technology and the emergence of new tactics and methods of warfare, the demand for intellectuals in the armed forces is becoming more and more numerous and intense. And Yang Zhen, the No. 1 military chief of the whole army, has always believed that an army with knowledge is a truly modern army. The combat effectiveness of an intellectual-type army is far higher than that of an illiterate army.

But Yang Zhen knew that he was thinking about it now, but he could only think about it at most. Under the circumstance that the overall cultural level in the base area is not high, and the Chinese literacy of the population still accounts for the vast majority. If you want to build a modern industry, you can only keep these high school students as much as possible, so that they can continue their studies and prepare for the industrial construction that will begin soon, as well as the future industrial development.

If a large number of students who should have gone on to higher education are now recruited into the army, it will indeed improve the overall cultural quality of the troops in a short period of time. But in Yang Zhen's view, it is extremely short-sighted, and it is a great resource. To build a modern industry, without a large number of intellectuals, it can only be a utopian dream, and that is where the real hope of China lies in the future.
