Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused for a moment and said, "However, no matter how many difficulties you face. But if the central government insists on fighting, there is nothing to say. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and orders are orders. As long as the central authorities give an order, we will pay a great price and fulfill the strategic tasks assigned by the central authorities. ”

"Please go back and report to the Central Committee, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, and I personally promise to obey the chairman's orders. There is nothing to say about the fact that as long as the chairman deems it necessary, then we will do whatever it takes to fulfill the tasks entrusted to us by the Central Committee. In terms of obedience to orders, there is absolutely no ambiguity in the anti-union. ”

After listening to Yang Zhen's words, the boss frowned and pondered for a long time, but did not make any comments. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "In this way, you come up with a detailed report." Write down all the things you talked about with me today. After Lieutenant General Stilwell leaves, you should be prepared to report back to the Central Committee. ”

"If we follow the ideas and ideas of the central government, it is very likely that the changes in the entire war situation will be beyond the scope of the central government's control, and I think the chairman will consider it carefully. For some things, it is better for you to return to the central government in person to report, and it is better to be able to express your intentions more clearly. ”

"However, you still have to be prepared and come up with a detailed plan before the central government approves it. Once the central government really makes up its mind, then you must enter the customs in the shortest possible time. If necessary, the two brigades of your left-behind corps stationed in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo can also be transferred eastward at any time. ”

"There is another matter, the chairman asked me to explain to you privately, and you must keep this matter strictly confidential. The Soviet side had decided to dissolve the Comintern in its entirety, and to complete all the dissolution in the shortest possible time. This matter is bound to cause political turmoil at home and abroad, and you must be mentally prepared for this. ”

Regarding the chief of staff's remarks not so much as conveying, but touching his own bottom and making himself express his position, Yang Zhen just smiled and said: "Boss, we obey the orders of our own central government, not the orders of this so-called international government." The Comintern was nothing more than the emperor created by the Soviets. Whether the Comintern is dissolved or not has nothing to do with us. ”

"This so-called international presence has not provided us with any help. All the supplies and equipment we got from the Soviet Union were exchanged for real money without a penny. No, it's not a big deal for us, but there is one less emperor who is pointing fingers all day long. ”

"We are Chinese, of course, we only listen to the Chinese Party. Not to mention that this so-called international is about to be dissolved, even if it is not dissolved, it has nothing to do with us. As the commander of the Northeast Military District, I only listen to the chairman. As for the United States and Britain, they are the ones whose interests come first. As long as we can hold back the Japanese on the battlefield, they will not change their attitude towards us because of the dissolution of this International. ”

Moreover, the dissolution of the Comintern by the Soviets at this time was nothing more than a show of goodwill towards the United States and Britain. As for my opinion, the Comintern, the puppet that the Soviets used to control the parties of the countries would have better be dissolved sooner. What the Comintern is, it just follows the baton of the Soviets. ”

"When the Chinese make a revolution, they must come according to their own national conditions and have a fart relationship with them. That thing that revolves around the baton of the Soviets will be disbanded and pulled down sooner rather than later. Chinese things have to be done Chinese yourself. Be independent and do our own business. I don't think this so-called international was dissolved early, but it was dissolved late. ”

"Please tell the chairman that I, Yang Zhen, am Chinese and only listen to Yan'an." It was, it is, and it will be. As for the Soviets, I never cared what they thought. I did not obey the orders of the Comintern in the past, and now that they are dissolved, they have nothing to do with me. ”

Yang Zhen's words are true, and his relationship with the Soviets is not as harmonious as it seems. One of the many reasons was that he never heeded the orders he gave to the Comintern. The Soviets have passed through this international finger countless times, but he has not heard it.

Not to mention the orders of the Comintern, even the orders of Stalin, for Yang Zhen is not a fart. The Soviets put a lot of pressure on Yang Zhen for a while, and even made him feel a little breathless, but he never gave in softly. The Soviets were helpless against this disobedient guy in the end.

Although the Soviets' attempt to turn Yang Zhen into a figure like Choibalsan ultimately failed. Even for the sake of the stability of the eastern border and to avoid being in a situation of being caught between two sides, it has always been under passive cooperation. But there were times when the various methods adopted by the Soviets also made Yang Zhen miserable.

Carrying it down is carrying it down, but I am afraid that only Yang Zhen himself knows that sadness. Now that he heard that the baton in the hands of the Emperor was finally dissolved, and some of the pants that had been pushed to his thighs could be lifted, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the timing wasn't right, he'd probably have given a standing ovation.

However, Yang Zhen's words made the chief of staff of the Military Commission in front of him, an old commander who had experienced countless ups and downs, unable to help but be dumbfounded. Although the Soviet side has informed the Chinese side of this incident, it is still a relatively secret matter after all. There are many people who have opinions about the Comintern, but it is still the first one who directly and simply says that the dissolution is late.

This young general is really bold. However, when I think about it, every time he goes to Yan'an for a meeting, he never goes to the Comintern representative to report on his work, and he doesn't even see him, as if there is no such person in Yan'an. The experience of the deputy's several attempts to come to the northeast to inspect the work was also directly rejected by him. For the relieved expression on his face, the old man also understood.

Looking at the change in the expression of the old handsome man in front of him, Yang Zhen smiled and did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, he said to the boss: "Boss, you are here at this time, but it is the right time to come." The first bomber made by our Chinese themselves will officially roll off the assembly line tomorrow. You happen to be in the Northeast, let's go get a jackpot together? ”

"You didn't catch up with the first fighter we produced ourselves, and this time it's time for you to cut the ribbon. However, the engine of this imitation of the Soviet Il-4 bomber is still American. The engine we built ourselves is still being tested. But the entire body and all the on-board equipment are made by ourselves, and they have fully reached the quality of the original product. ”

For Yang Zhen's invitation, the old handsome's eyes couldn't help but light up. A bomber of its own making, which is undoubtedly an exciting thing for a military man. Especially for an army that has long been bombed passively because of the lack of air force, whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, and has no power to fight back, the significance of this aircraft is even more extraordinary.

Yang Zhen's invitation, the old man nodded excitedly and agreed. In the simple secret off-line ceremony the next day, the old man looked at the plane made by the Anti-Union himself, although he didn't show too much. But the excitement on his face was felt by everyone who was present.

In fact, Lao Shuai did not know that after getting the American-made B25 bomber, many people in the Anti-United Nations suggested directly copying the B25 bomber with much better performance, as well as the high-power Wright engine used in the modified bomber. But after careful consideration, Yang Zhen finally decided to give up this suggestion.

Although the performance of the Soviet-made Il-4 bomber is not as good as that of the American-made B-25 bomber, the process is relatively simple, which is very in line with the initial stage of the anti-United Nations imitation aircraft. No matter how good the performance of the American-made bomber is, the complexity of the manufacturing process is still a little unrealistic for the current anti-United Nations.

And although there are 10,000 Soviet-made engines, even if they are shoddy. But there is one thing that is in line with China's national conditions. That is, the process and production technology are equally simple, which is very suitable as a product in the initial imitation stage. Of course, the craftsmanship of the Soviets, Yang Zhen did not appreciate, but it met the standards of pure consumables in wartime.

In addition, the Soviet-made Il-4 bomber, although the speed is not as good as the B-25 bomber, the self-defense firepower is also a little too weak. However, the maximum range of more than 3,000 kilometers was enough to meet the needs of the anti-United Nations bombing against Japan. Compared with the American-made medium bombers, the range is basically much worse.

Although these Il-4 bombers, after the arrival of a large number of heavy bombers from the United States and Britain, they no longer undertake the task of front-line air raids because of the bomb load and self-defense firepower. However, as a much lighter medium bomber, it can be used to suppress the threat of ground anti-aircraft artillery fire to bomber groups in the absence of medium bombers that are sufficient to meet the range of the Anti-United Nations.

Moreover, there are detailed drawings for reference, coupled with the relatively simple production process, and there are start-up models for the aircraft manufacturing industry. Therefore, after multiple considerations, Yang Zhen finally made a decision to continue small-batch production under the condition of improving the protective performance and installing self-defense firepower.

Of course, the Il-4 bomber produced by the Anti-Union is fundamentally different from the original Soviet-made bomber in terms of content. Because of the change in tasks, certain improvements have also been made to the body. The defense of the airframe has not only been greatly improved. Moreover, the machine gun in the nose was changed from one to four. The self-defense firepower on the body has also been increased to eight.

When cooperating with the bombing of Japan by a heavy bomber group, it was specially used as a navigation, suppression, and some special operations aircraft for bombing Japan. According to Yang Zhen's requirements, the annual output of this Soviet-made medium-sized bomber with relatively good performance should be maintained at about 300 planes. But it was no longer used as air cover for domestic ground operations, but was used exclusively for bombing Japan.

At the same time as this batch of planes, the first batch of 50 Il-2 attack planes manufactured by the Anti-Union was also launched. Compared with the Il-4 bomber, which uses American-made engines for the sake of safety because it has to fly long distances, all the engines of this Il-2 fighter have been self-produced.

As for the MiG-3 fighter, although the trial production has been completed, the production speed is not fast, and it is only maintaining production in small batches. After all, as an air defense fighter, the MiG-3 fighter with too short legs is too narrow in purpose. The limited engine manufacturing capacity is still placed on the tactical support aircraft that are most urgently needed at the front line.

Under the circumstance that the Soviet army has begun to withdraw the MiG-3 fighters from the front line one after another, Yang Zhen still managed to buy a batch of second-hand MiG-3 fighters from the Soviet Union. However, the current limited aircraft manufacturing capacity of the Anti-United Nations is still focused on the production of bombers and attack aircraft. As well as preparing for the production of long-range escort fighters, freeing up production lines.

Compared with Yang Zhen, who was not too interested, Lao Shuai expressed a strong interest in the first bomber made by the two Chinese themselves, as well as the ground attack aircraft. Originally, he listened to the report in Yan'an, but now he has seen the physical machine he made, and the old man's interest is obviously very high. After repeatedly asking that it was indeed made by the Anti-Union itself, the old man was extremely excited.
