Chapter 170: The storm is coming

The US Department of Defense * Pentagon, this luxurious poured and connected part with copper water, made the five buildings a luxurious office building connected together. A middle-aged bald man was looking at the documents on the table in a spacious office of more than 70 square meters.

This office suite is luxurious and elegant, with a bedroom, bathroom and living room. The main office is surrounded by leather sofas, and the walls are hung with world maps and oil paintings by American painter John Sargent. This pastoral oil painting looks fresh and full of countryside, and is completely incompatible with the milky white and gold-plated baroque floating wallpaper, not to mention how to set off the crimson red beech wall panels and luxurious milky white marble floors.

The Air Force Major, who sat in front of him, was undoubtedly waiting for the dear minister to give instructions on the documents. He looked young and proud, and was bored at the golden eagle standing on the crystal base on the minister's desk. It is said that the artwork was a trophy transported from Berlin.

The middle-aged man with a bald face was Louis Johnson, the second Secretary of Defense. He loved art and decorated the office with his family's collection. After reading the report, he frowned and said, "It's really bad that the Chinese have jet fighters. The Soviets were so quick."

When the young major heard this, he immediately took his attention from the Golden Eagle and replied: "Yes, Minister, this is awful. These jets have caused Chiang's Mustang fighters to suffer heavy losses. Chiang is now very impatient. He hopes that we can pay more attention to the Kuomintang army fighting on the front line. He asks us to provide him with 25 P-80 "Meteor" jet fighters."

Louis Johnson let go of his eyebrows and said expressionlessly: "This requirement can be met, but don't expect the United States to pay for it. After all, Mr. President has been asking the Ministry of Defense to cut the budget, and Taiwan is a bottomless pit. Let Chiang prepare to pay for it himself. I think Congress will approve it. After all, [they're the fuck] the common enemy of our free world. But you have to tell him that it's very expensive, very expensive.

The young major said: "I have notified Lockheed that they are willing to provide 10% of the contract amount to the Department of Defense in reimbursement."

Louis Johnson nodded and asked curiously: "What is the offer they offered to Jiang?"

The young major laughed: "$250,000."

Louis Johnson blurted out in surprise: "This group of dogs is raised, and the purchase price of the Ministry of Defense is 90,000 US dollars, which is really a good deal. But they only gave out 10% of the compensation."

The young major replied: "Lockheed said the $8 million contract included pilot training and ground service repair equipment. So they didn't make much money."

Louis Johnson waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't fool me with these greedy coyotes. I know this ratio is a rule. But you have to tell Lockheed that all weapons and equipment must be inspected by the Department of Defense and keep technology strictly confidential."

"Yes, Lord Minister." The young man stood up, knocked his heels on his feet, stood attentively and left Johnson's office.

Johnson picked up the phone and said, "Correspond to me for the CIA..."

For Louis Johnson, it was not surprising that he had [the fucking] owning a jet, and based on the intelligence he received, the Soviet jet fighter had developed and improved to the third model, and there was no doubt that the Chinese would get the early models of the Soviet jet as allies.

The most difficult and headache-inducing problem in front of Johnson is that West Germany, Adenauer, proposed that West Germany joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the form of reading, rather than accepting the joint military leadership of NATO as the European Union Army as the European Union Army, which means that the Germans do not want the command of this [fucking] team by France.

Adenauer even proposed to set up a motorized police force to fight against the terrifying neighbors in the east. This was strongly opposed by France. In France's view, Germany should no longer have an army, at least not an army with reader command. The dispute is still continuing, and the United States, as the leader of NATO, is very troubled.

Johnson was not catching a cold about Chang Kaishen in Asia. It was a dead fish. Johnson often said this. But as long as the dead fish could lie there safely, it could play a role in disgusting and curbing the red China. This is the greatest value of the dead fish.

Johnson wanted to ask the CIA what he understood was which jet fighter the Soviet Union provided to China. Johnson often read Sun Tzu's Art of War. He saw the saying that he knew himself and his enemy and was able to win every battle. He thought this made sense, and even wrote it in his pen.

What made Johnson dissatisfied was that the CIA did not receive any information from the Soviet Union to export jets to China, which made Johnson very dissatisfied.

"It seems that I can only wait for Chiang's news. The photo guns on the fighter will tell me the answer. However, this group of waste is completely wiped out every time. It's really stupid." Johnson shook his head irritatedly and continued to read another budget application report on the construction of the new aircraft carrier USS America.

The Soviet Union was now proud. On August 29 last year, the successful explosion of the first atomic bomb made the Soviet Union finally have the ultimate weapon to compete with the United States. According to the plan of the Supreme Committee on National Construction, by 1954, the Soviet Union's secret project in Obomminsk would allow the Soviet Union to own the world's first nuclear power plant.

In the five years after the war, the Soviet Union's economy and military were developing rapidly, and social welfare and various infrastructure construction flourished. The military procurement of various socialist allies from the Soviet Union also made the Soviet Union a big profit, and it got rid of many backward equipment.

Although Stalin hoped that China could buy more arms, the young man from the East only signed a large order to buy the Li-2 transport aircraft and was not interested in other arms in the Soviet Union, which puzzled Stalin.

Now the document in Stalin's hand finally solved the questions in his heart.

"The new Chinese warships appeared in Tianjin Port and Qingdao Naval Bases? The Chinese Army began to change clothes in large quantities, and a new type of semi-automatic rifle and automatic rifle are being installed in large quantities? A large number of light and heavy artillery, including various anti-aircraft guns, are also transporting to the army?"

After receiving this secret report from the Soviet National Security Council, Stalin did not doubt the exact surname of the report. There are many people friendly to the Soviet Union in China. The Soviet army has not yet fully withdrawn from Northeast China. The report is accompanied by a secret list of intelligence sources. So many people can confirm this news, which shows that the real surname of the intelligence source from the Pacific Fleet Command led by General Kuznetsov is unquestionable.

Stalin asked Migoyan: "Should we ask China to explain the source of their arms?"

Mi Gaoyang thought for a while and said, "This is no problem. We are already allies who have signed a treaty of friendship and alliances. We should establish political mutual trust. I think Chinese comrades should give us a reasonable explanation."

Stalin said: "Then ask them, if their arms channels come from the West, we should be alert."

Marshal Voroshilov, who participated in this small-scale discussion at the highest level, suggested: "No matter what, Chinese comrades can get these obviously very advanced warships and land weapons, which is also a beneficial source of intelligence for us. The Cold War and embargo of Western countries on the socialist camp have made us unfamiliar with the latest weapon technology development of Western countries. We should ask Chinese comrades to provide their import channels to the Soviet Union so that both sides can share them. Moreover, the Soviet Union should be allowed to send military experts to see these weapons. I think this will be beneficial to improving our military technology and expanding the source of military intelligence."

As soon as Stalin heard Marshal Voroshilov's speech, he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it. Migoyang, you contact the Chinese comrades immediately. In any case, the Soviet Union must obtain information on these weapons. They would better give samples of the weapons to the Soviets. Of course, we are willing to exchange them with equal or even better conditions. You have to tell the Chinese comrades that they currently do not have the conditions to manufacture advanced weapons at all, but the Soviet Union can. If the Soviet Union finds that these weapons are advanced enough and have research value, then we can produce them in cooperation and we can share the technology with them."

Migoyang nodded: "Your generosity will surely impress the Chinese comrades, and I believe they will give me a satisfactory answer."

Comrade Ho Chi Minh returned to China with Comrade Shaoqi. Unlike China's situation, China signed a Sino-Soviet Friendship and Alliance Treaty with the Soviet Union this time, but Ho Chi Minh's visit to the Soviet Union received nothing.

Stalin was unwilling to see Ho Chi Minh and did not even attend the dinner welcoming Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh's request to ask for a signed photo of Stalin was rejected, and he was in great pain.

However, as the saying goes, a good woman is afraid of being married. Stalin finally agreed to meet Ho Chi Minh, but he refused Ho Chi Minh's request to aid Vietnam in person. Stalin told Ho Chi Minh that it is more appropriate to leave the aid to Vietnam to comrades in China.

In this way, the Soviet Union completely threw away the burden of Ho Chi Minh, not to mention Ho Chi Minh's request to sign the Soviet-Vietnam Friendship and Alliance Treaty imitated China's example, the Soviet Union did not consider it at all.

The reason is very simple. At this time, almost all of Vietnam's territory was in the hands of the French colonial army. Even the Vietnamese side of the Sino-Vietnam border was completely controlled by the French colonial army. The Vietnamese Communist Party stayed miserably in the deep mountains and forests of the northern Vietnamese mountainous areas, fighting guerrilla warfare with the French, and continuing the cause of the Vietnamese people's anti-French Reading War.

At this time, no country in the world recognized the Vietnam Mingzhu Republic, and no international organization was willing to establish connections with the Vietnam Mingzhu Republic. Western media commented that the republic led by Ho Chi Minh was just a "ghost" country with no entity. Therefore, the current situation of the "Vietnam Mingzhu Republic" established by Yuegong is so miserable and embarrassing. The entire Yisan has no product: it has no international status at all, is completely unrecognized, and has no foreign aid at all.
