After staying overnight, Yang Zhen did not rush back to the villa arranged by Jiangbei, but stayed in this tank training base. It is adjacent to the aviation training base, and it is possible to inspect the training of the two branches of the armed forces in detail. Moreover, you can also provide your own reference opinions on the improvement of various equipment at any time.

Kovalev, who had been persuaded several times to no avail, had to move his bedding rolls and accompany Yang Zhen to live here. However, the Far Eastern Military Region did not express any opinion on Yang Zhen's move, but provided Yang Zhen with a Giss 101 bulletproof sedan and a Gasi M 1 car as a means of travel.

Perhaps in the eyes of General Abanashenk, under the current complicated situation in China, Yang Zhen's secrecy will be better. However, the Far Eastern Military Region still arranged for Yang Zhen to visit his grassroots units. He even arranged a plane to send Yang Zhen to Vladivostok to visit the Red Banner Pacific Fleet. And Yang Zhen's re-meeting with General Abanashenk was half a month later.

Still in that secret military base, or in that underground conference room, only Abanashenk and Yang Zhen were met this time, plus Kovalev, who served as an interpreter, and political commissar Ivanov and the major general Grigorenko were nowhere to be seen.

Unlike the nervous look in the first meeting, in the expression of the Abanashenk general Yan Sù in this meeting, Yang Zhen saw an imperceptible look of excitement in his eyes occasionally.

After a simple meeting etiquette, General Abanashenk did not hide anything, and said directly to the point: "Comrade Yang Zhen, can you guarantee that your intelligence sources are all obtained from the German diplomatic department stationed in Changchun as you said?" Can you guarantee that all this information is true? ”

Regarding General Abanashenk's questioning, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "The intelligence is really not true, it requires your professionals to analyze and identify, and this is not something I can guarantee." As for the origin of these things, I'm sorry I can't reveal them. It's the same as your army has its own sources of intelligence from the Kwantung Army, but it can't share it with us. You can't just give you a good table of food, and you have to poach all the cooks. ”

"Comrade Abanashenk, you just suspect that we made up all these things. But the performance of these weapons and equipment is true or false, I'm afraid God knows and you know. To put it mildly, Comrade Abanashenk, don't look at you as the commander of the General of the Far Eastern Military District, but you don't say you've seen or even heard of a lot of weapons. ”

"Since you don't know, I have so much power to make up so many things? Comrade Abanashenk, I just want to choreograph this, and I have to have the ability, right? I came from an infantry background, that is, I didn't know how to use airplanes, let alone tanks. None of us in the army could make this thing up. ”

Yang Zhen's answer seemed to make Abanashenk finally put his mind at ease. Abanaschenk, who was slightly relaxed, lit a cigarette and said, "Okay, Comrade Yang Zhen, let's talk about your requirements." Those American-made fighters that you want to buy, sorry we can't do it. ”

"The Americans will not agree to sell us this more advanced fighter, which, as far as I know, the American army is not yet equipped with such aircraft. Their main armament is still the old P36 fighter. But Comrade Yang Zhen, I want to know, how do you know that the US army has such fighters. ”

Yang Zhen smiled slightly, pointed to the top of his head and said to General Abanashenk: "The same channel." Comrade General, we hope that you will be able to help. I know that the Soviet army has the ability to get Western weapons. Isn't the Li-2 transport plane currently used by your Air Force the Americans? And the two C46 transport planes that were handed over to us, I think they are all US military-standard equipment, right? ”

"Isn't your T26 tank also a modification of the British Vickers tank you introduced? If you don't sell us standard equipment, we can only find a way to build our own air force. I hope that the comrades of the USSR will put themselves in our shoes. ”

"We also want to buy new fighters such as the MiG-1 and Lager-1 on the materials, but you can't sell them to us. We understand your predicament, and I hope you understand ours. Comrade Abanashenk, as a general of the Soviet Red Army, a commander of a military district, you should understand that air superiority can completely determine the victory of a campaign. ”

"General Abanashenk, now our cooperation is mutually beneficial. We are growing, not only for ourselves, but also for you. Don't forget, Germany and Japan are allies. When you wrestle with someone, you don't want to be stabbed in the back, do you? It feels bad to be attacked in the abdomen and back. ”

Abanashenk shook his head and said, "Comrade Yang Zhen, I'm sorry, we really can't provide those American-made fighters you want. You have to understand that the situation is different now than it was then. This American is very resolute, we have been in contact with them in Moscow, and they simply do not let go. ”

Yang Zhen paused for a moment and said: "It's okay if you don't give the American-made P40 fighter, and I don't force it." In these materials, there were 200 Yak-1 fighters of your kind when they were put into production. I know that this aircraft has basically completed the test flight and will be ready for mass production right away. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's request, General Abanashenk shook his head very firmly: "Comrade Yang Zhen, we have a treaty with the Japanese, and we are not allowed to sell or assist you with any of our army's main battle equipment on active duty. I'm sorry, not to mention that this kind of aircraft is still in test flights, but it is not and cannot be sold to you. After all, we are also subject to diplomatic treaties. The Soviets were not ready to get involved in any kind of all-out war. ”

"We export cars to you, which can be cashed out under the pretext of civilian use. But Comrade Yang Zhen, you should be well aware of the difference between a fighter and a truck. I'm sorry Comrade Yang Zhen, not to mention that this Yak-1 fighter has not yet been put into production, and even if it does, it will not be able to sell it to you. ”

Speaking of this, General Abanashenk paused for a moment and said: "In this way, we have a batch of German planes in our hands, all of which are active fighters of the German army, and we can transfer them to you for use." Six of them were Heinkel fighters and eight Messerschmitt fighters, all of which were of the most advanced performance. Moscow means that if you really need it, we can transfer to you the planes that we bought from Germany at a high price, free of charge. ”

Regarding General Abanashenk's construction, Yang Zhen sneered and said: "Comrade General, I'm afraid these planes don't even have weapons." You brought in to imitate or improve your own fighters. These planes, which are estimated to have been dismantled by you, have become parts, and I am afraid that they are not much better than garbage now. ”

"Comrade Abanashenk, we understand your grievances. You have not been asked to transfer your latest aircraft, nor have you been offered to purchase your aircraft in service. But I also hope that you will understand our idea and help us re-export some American-made aircraft when we are unable to provide new aircraft.

"Comrade General, the Americans are not strict about the export control of aircraft now. As long as you ask, there is still a lot of hope that you can buy it. As long as you really help us, you can do this, I believe. For the sake of fairness, we are also handing over to you two new types of communication equipment at the same time. ”

After that, Yang Zhen stood up, was moved in by Xiaohuzi before, took out several strange-looking things from the inconspicuous box in the corner of the conference room, put them on the conference table, and said: "Comrade General, these are the two latest portable radio stations developed by our scientific and technological personnel transferred from the Guannai. ”

"Both of these things, which Comrade Kavalov and I have mentioned, are the latest. This handheld is a 702-step walkie-talkie, which is very suitable for one-level plain language communication. This is a 71-type two-five-watt two-five-watt step-talk, sending, receiving and reporting dual-purpose machine. If you can help us get a loan to buy this fighter. We will transfer the technology of these two stations free of charge. You can take these two stations back and test them now. ”

The two kinds of radio stations that Yang Zhen took out are no strangers to anyone who has watched those old movies of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea before the Cultural Revolution in later generations. In later generations, all the old people who are a little older will recall their classic Zhang Zhuang, Zhang Zhuang, I am Li Zhuang, and the lines that fired at me.

These two are the two models that made great contributions in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea: New China's first company-level 71-type dual-purpose radio station and the 702-type company-level walkie-talkie. In order to make up for the lack of a number of Japanese-style 94-style five-watt radios currently used by the troops, as well as the situation of single performance. Yang Zhen used his memory to figure out these two kinds of communication radio stations that could be produced according to the current level of technology.

These two types of radio stations were being produced at full capacity at the arsenal on the east side of the Heungsan Fortress. The speed of production, even ahead of the Japanese ammunition. According to Yang Zhen's requirements, all of them should be distributed to front-line combat units around May Day this year. In order to change the situation in which front-line combat units can only communicate with each other through the guò military horn and the flag language.

In order to rush to produce these radio stations, Yang Zhen specially allocated 400,000 puppet Manchurian coins and yen to import a large number of diodes and various resistors from Jiangbei. Even when the quantity has already met the demand, it is still being imported. In the balance of the 20 million rubles of the loan in the Soviet Union, 100,000 yuan was specially set aside to purchase electronic tubes and various equipment as reserves.

In later life, Yang Zhen was an avid old-fashioned weapon and electronics enthusiast. Among the mountains of scrapped military radios in his troops, there are these two products that are extremely advanced in front of him, but they have long been scrapped and eliminated in later generations. Yang Zhen had disassembled and reassembled it countless times in his spare time.

He is so familiar with these two radio stations that he can draw a structural diagram with his eyes closed. However, he is good at drawing, and there is no problem with hands-on operations. But after all, it is not a professional talent, and it was several outstanding military personnel who were transferred from Kannai last autumn when the war was raging at the front. In particular, Wang Shiguang, who graduated from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Tsinghua University, and Xiong Dazhen, who graduated from the Department of Physics, are two outstanding military experts.

In particular, Xiong Dazhen, who has solved a series of key problems such as batteries, has made great contributions to the young military industry expert who has made outstanding contributions to the development of the military industry in Yang Zhen's department. He cooperated with Wang Shiguang and came up with the finished product in a very short time.

It's just that this person was asked down by Yang Zhen from the execution ground of the Jizhong Military Region. It was Yang Zhen's repeated requests and direct naming that made the central government send someone from the 120th Division, which was operating in Jizhong last year, to take down this young man who had already been taken to the execution ground.

The cadres of the 120th Division, who went to pick up people, would have gone half an hour late. Because the Japanese army swept the troops of the Jizhong Military Region and was about to be transferred, they were going to execute these young students who were arrested just because of their groundless suspicions. Fortunately, it was in time for Yang Zhen's half-scoop water plan to be implemented. Graduated from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University, he is not a nerd taught by exam-oriented education in later generations.

This guy really didn't live up to Yang Zhen's great painstaking efforts, and brought him all the way over. After Yang Zhen drew the circuit diagram, with Wang Shiguang, it only took half a month to come up with the finished product. And the quality is quite good. Except for the weight of the Soviet-made electron tube, the rest are no worse than those that Yang Zhen has seen in later generations.

It's just that Yang Zhen didn't think that there were already three-electrode tubes in this era, and he always thought that there were only second-level electron tubes in this era. When he first dismantled several American-made radios in order to solve the problem of raw materials, he found that the two walkie-talkies, which were born in the early fifties, actually used the technology of the thirties and forties.

It's just that the quality of the Soviet-made electron tube is too rough, not to mention the short service life, and it is easy to overheat and burn. Especially when using batteries as a power source, it is more likely to be damaged. In order to solve this problem, Yang Zhen specially sent people to buy a large number of German goods at a high price. This solves the problem of the quality of raw materials.

With the help of Xiong Dazhen, Yang Zhen's "design" was ahead of this era for four years, and the so-called force multiplier was finally made by him. Originally, according to Yang Zhen's meaning, he also wanted to use the most famous tactical Bayi-style ultra-short-wave radio station of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, which is commonly known as the Tong 251 radio station.

But the transistor was not invented until after World War II, and at that time it was impossible to find that kind of transistor anyway. Although I know some principles, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. If you don't have any equipment, you can't build it if you want to. I can only get these two relatively bulky tube products.

The 702 is a walkie-talkie used by the company and platoon, and the 71 type is a tactical radio used by the battalion and company commands. In fact, on top of the two, there is a 15-watt dual-purpose command plane for sending and receiving and reporting at the battalion and regiment level, but Yang Zhen did not take it out. Because these two types of radio are the most widely used on the battlefield, and they are also the most exposed. As for the fifteen-watt one, it's better to keep it for now.

Kovalev looked at the two small radio stations that Yang Zhen took out, and was a little curious. Especially compared with the extremely cumbersome radio stations used by the Soviet army and the excessive reliance on wired communication for battalion and company commands, some radio stations that are too small do not believe that this kind of thing can have the kind of effect that Yang Zhen said.

But when they took it out and tried it, they couldn't believe it. At a distance of thirty or forty kilometers, the conversation is quite clear. Especially the little 71 radio station, which can not only implement calls, but also send and receive newspapers. It is more than half the radio station now used by the Soviet army. Compared with wired telephones, it can effectively prevent telephone lines from being blown up and affecting command on the battlefield.

I couldn't put down the 702-step talkie in my hand, and General Abanashenk said appreciatively: "Comrade Yang Zhen, you are not wrong. These things are really equipped to the front-line troops, which is enough to solve the problem of decoupling the front-line from the rear command headquarters. And it's too lightweight, and it also saves a lot of trouble in field calls. Power multiplier, your description is very apt. ”
