I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 339

Objectively speaking, if the Soviet Union did not receive assistance from the United States, Germany's strategy against the Soviet Union would have been more correct. Germany and the Soviet Union were one-on-one, and the possibility of the Soviet Union's defeat was extremely high.

From a macro point of view, the industrial scale of Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II was almost the same. The Soviet Union was slightly better than Germany in terms of quantity (the industrial quantity of the Soviet Union was advertised, and the water was very large), but the quality was much inferior to Germany.

"We have a solution to this problem!" Jiang Weiguo came here for this matter, and he looked at Yu Dawei with a smile, "Old Yu, the reason why aluminum is an indispensable raw material for aircraft production is because it is a light metal, so we To test you, is there anything that can replace aluminum? The same is very light!"

Yu Dawei looked at Jiang Weiguo in surprise: "Second son, forgive me for my ignorance, please enlighten me!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed and pointed to the mountains around the factory: "There are mountains and plains everywhere!"

Yu Dawei stared: "Trees? Wood?"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Yes! Using tough and strong wood soaked in tung oil instead of aluminum can also produce aircraft! Don't believe me, I'll get you the aircraft company that has mastered this technology right away Yes, the president of that company is Jeffrey de Havilland, who is also an outstanding aircraft designer.

This Mr. Havilland is very far-sighted. He realized that during the war, the aluminum metal used in traditional aircraft may be scarce, so he tried to replace aluminum with cheap wood and achieved great success.

Although the aircraft made of wood is slightly insufficient in defense and fuselage strength, it is as light as a swallow and has excellent maneuverability.

This kind of wooden plane is very suitable for us in China!We are short of aluminum, so we can mass-produce this kind of wooden aircraft!" Jiang Weiguo was talking about the famous "mosquito fighter-bomber" during World War II in history. This aircraft is regarded as an innovation in the history of aviation. It has the reputation of "Miracle", its own weight is very low, its performance is excellent, its cost is low, and it saves raw materials. It can be called a legendary generation of famous machine.

Yu Dawei was surprised and delighted: "Really? Second son, is this Mr. Havilland a German?"

"No, it's British!"

"British?" Yu Dawei couldn't believe it, "Will the British help us?"

"Of course the British won't help us!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "but this Mr. Havilland is a Jew, so of course the Jews helped us!" He was very proud and thought to himself, "The Jews are so fucking smart ! A nation of geniuses!"

"Okay!" Yu Dawei was very excited, "Second Young Master, don't worry! My colleagues and I will do a good job!"

Because Jiang Weiguo invited Havilland, his aircraft company and his "wooden aircraft" to China, it greatly promoted the development of China's aviation industry and China's aircraft production.

Because of the lack of aluminum, China's self-produced aircraft are mainly wooden aircraft, creating a real "wood miracle" (wood needs to be soaked in tung oil to have high toughness and strength, and China is the world's largest producer of tung oil, both perfect combination).

Later, the Haviland Company, which fully cooperated with the Chongqing Aircraft Factory, successively designed a variety of wooden aircraft for the Chinese Air Force, including: "Sparrowhawk" fighter jet, "Flying Eagle" bomber, "Falcon" dive bomber, "Osprey" torpedo Attack aircraft, "Owl" reconnaissance aircraft, etc., all have very good performance (I can't say that they are excellent, because after all, wooden planes are for emergency use, and wood can't really replace aluminum, but the performance of wooden planes is by no means second-rate, it is still very strong fierce), which greatly solved the urgent need of the Chinese Air Force, and also doubled and a half of China's local aircraft production.

After attending the delivery ceremony of the first domestically-made military aircraft, Yu Dawei asked Jiang Weiguo for another matter: "What about the Japanese aviation experts you kidnapped from Japan?"

Jiang Weiguo almost forgot about this. During the Sino-Japanese War, he sent agents of the Sea Bureau into Japan and kidnapped Horikoshi Jiro (the chief designer of the Zero aircraft), Kimura Hidemasa, and more than a dozen top Japanese aircraft design experts. , has been detained, these Japanese experts will definitely not work for China (even if they are forced to work, they will definitely be passive and sabotage), and it is also inappropriate to kill them, so they are just detained.

"Contact the governments of Germany, Japan and Italy, and each dispatch a group of aircraft experts to jointly develop the aircraft with us (Jiang Weiguo refers to the Zero Type), but the aircraft blueprints must be shared by the four countries, and the development base must be located in our country!" Jiang Weiguo instructed, "If the Japanese agree, they can let Horikoshi Jiro's group of Japanese aircraft experts join the development base, and their families can be taken over from Japan to reunite with them, but they are not allowed to leave China!"

"Okay, I see!" Yu Dawei nodded.

Jiang Weiguo and Yu Dawei then participated in the delivery ceremony of the first domestically-made tank. Tanks, like airplanes, are German products made in China. The first domestically-made tank is the German No. [-] tank.

According to the Sino-German cooperation agreement, Germany has provided China with one set of No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] tank production lines. China can produce German tanks by itself, but the amount of production depends entirely on China's own capabilities, and the type of tank The more advanced it is, the lower the yield will naturally be.

According to Yu Dawei, at present, if we focus on the production of No. 60 or No. 40, we can produce 20 vehicles per month. If we concentrate on the production of No. [-], it will be reduced to [-] vehicles, and the production of No. [-] will be as low as [-] vehicles.

"Take your time, don't worry!" Jiang Weiguo comforted.

"Germany's No. [-] tank production line is coming soon..." Yu Dawei said.

"Wait!" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, "Tank No. [-]? Leopard?"

Yu Dawei was also surprised: "Second son, how do you know that the Germans named the No. [-] tank Leopard?"

"No way?" Jiang Weiguo was secretly surprised, "The Leopard tank has already been born? I remember that the Leopard was developed by the German army to deal with the Soviet T-34 after the outbreak of the German-Soviet War. Now the German-Soviet War has not yet It has already been developed?" He thought for a while and made a complete judgment that this must be the result of his interference in history. When he was on a diplomatic mission to Germany, he revealed the strength of the Soviet tank force and the Soviet tank industry in front of Hitler in an almost alarmist manner. He also specifically mentioned the t-34 (although the t-34 will not be officially born until the autumn and winter of 1939), it is estimated that Hitler was reminded to let German tank experts develop in advance " A more powerful tank than the Panther IV", which led to the early birth of the Panther.

After reading the information on the No. [-] tank (Leopard) sent by the German side that Yu Dawei handed over, Jiang Weiguo was very surprised. This Leopard is somewhat different from the original Leopard in history, but it basically looks the same. The biggest difference is that The Leopard uses a diesel engine.

"Thank God!" Jiang Weiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Old Xi has listened to my good advice! Use a diesel engine instead of the original gasoline engine in history!"

With joy, Jiang Weiguo inspected the aircraft factory and tank factory of the Chongqing Military Industry Base, and then left Chongqing. On the way, he received a telegram from Chen Shaokuan. It was another good news. After completion, the combined Fuzhou Shipyard and Qingdao Shipyard can produce 1 U-shaped submarine per month, which is very low, but it is also a good start.

After inspecting the military industrial base, Hitler sent a telegram to Jiang Weiguo, urging him to go to Germany to attend the meeting of the German High Command, "to guide the German army" and help the German High Command to formulate a war plan.

Chapter 410 Revisiting Germany

After returning to Peiping by plane, Jiang Weiguo dragged his exhausted body into the headquarters building of the North China Political Affairs Commission. As soon as he entered the office, he was startled because he saw Liu Wugou sitting on the chair behind his desk in a grand manner. , Lan Muzhu stood beside him at a loss, his face full of embarrassment.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Weiguo looked at Liu Wugou helplessly.

"What are you doing?" Liu Wugou looked at Jiang Weiguo disdainfully, "Go to work! I've already finished confinement!"

"Hey, why did you come to work here?" Jiang Weiguo was very helpless.

"Be your secretary!" Liu Wugou looked at Jiang Weiguo contemptuously, then squinted at Lan Muzhu with hostile eyes, and said stingingly, "You are busy with work and have a lot of time to manage, how can a female secretary be enough?" She I specially emphasized the word "female", "I recommend myself to be your secretary, can't I? By the way, my education level is not lower than this secretary Lan, right?" She looked at Lan Muzhu with nothing but Hostility, but also jealousy, because Lan Muzhu is indeed beautiful, and very beautiful, although she is six years older than her (Liu Wugou is two years older than Jiang Weiguo, Lan Muzhu is six years older than Liu Wugou), but Being six years older not only did not become Lan Muzhu's disadvantage, but on the contrary became Lan Muzhu's advantage, making Lan Muzhu both youthful and intellectually elegant, exuding a "mature charm" that men could not resist.

Liu Wugou was not at ease about Jiang Weiguo's "concentration" in this regard. After all, Jiang Weiguo had "a lot of criminal records" and "hooked up" his classmates' wives in college. He also got his female bodyguard, and as for Liu Wugou himself...it's not Jiang Weiguo's fault, Liu Wugou threw himself into his arms on his own initiative, but almost any woman in the world would not want her husband (or boyfriend) ) and add a few "sisters" to myself.

Liu Wugou ran over to serve as Jiang Weiguo's secretary, apparently to take care of Jiang Weiguo himself.

Jiang Weiguo became more and more helpless: "Aren't you going to work in the newspaper?"

"Resign!" Liu Wugou said dryly, and she looked at Lan Muzhu more and more jealously, "Hey, Jiang Weiguo, you are really capable, where did you invite such a beautiful female secretary?"

"A senior economist introduced it to me!" Jiang Weiguo confessed honestly.

"Hmph!" Liu Wugou snorted coldly, "By the way, are you going to Germany tomorrow? I'm going too! Don't make excuses!" She said with a straight face, "I don't want Hitler to give you a blonde or something of!"

Jiang Weiguo was completely speechless.

In the early morning of June 6, Jiang Weiguo set off for Germany. Before he left, he was very emotional. The last time he went to Germany was three years ago when he was an envoy to Germany. At that time, Jiang Baili went with him, but now, Jiang Baili is no longer there. The mountains and rivers are still the same, things are different, and Jiang Weiguo has to be sad.

There were more than a dozen people who went to Germany with Jiang Weiguo. Apart from Jiang Weiguo himself, there were also Liu Wugou who wanted to go with him, Liu Fengling who served as an interpreter, and Shang Zhen, the deputy director of the General Office of the Military Commission.

Shang Zhen was born in the faction of the Jinsui Army, and later broke away. During the war, he served as the commander of the 20th Army Group. Because he was not only a military strategist, but also very capable in politics and diplomacy, he was appointed as the deputy director of the General Office of the Military Commission. "Military diplomacy" and became a "diplomatic soldier", and at this time he had been recommended by Jiang Weiguo and appointed by Chiang Kai-shek to become the "head of the Chinese military delegation in Germany", and he would be in charge of military cooperation between China and Germany.

"Secretary, the plane is ready!" Liu Qihu, head of the North China District of the Bureau of Maritime Statistics, greeted Jiang Weiguo at the airport. "In addition, we have already contacted the British authorities!"

"Thank you!" Jiang Weiguo nodded.

Jiang Weiguo's plane first departed from Taiyuan Airport, headed all the way south, flew over half of China, arrived at Guangzhou Airport, took a rest, refueled, and then continued all the way south to British Singapore, where it was refueled, and then all the way west to fly to Colombo, British Sri Lanka, then flew to Tehran, Iran, Cairo, British Egypt, Rome, Italy, and finally arrived in Berlin. The whole journey took three days.

Jiang Weiguo looked at the road map and couldn't help feeling: "Almost all the roads are British territory! I'm really upset!"

"Yes!" Shang Zhen also expressed his feelings, "The Strait of Malacca, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Gibraltar are all in the hands of the British. It can be said that the Indian Ocean belongs to the British. We and Germany are separated by the Soviet Union on land. Britain is separated by sea, after the outbreak of war, I am afraid it will be difficult for each other to help each other directly!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Shang Zhen and admired him very much. A military strategist is a military strategist, and he saw the crux of the problem at a glance.

At 7:30 in the morning, three Junkers transport planes and 24 escorted bf-109 fighter jets roared off from Taiyuan Airport, heading south all the way to Guangzhou.

An hour later, the fleet flew over the Jincheng area in southern Shanxi. Among the winding mountains of Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers were digging rocks and building railways. They saw the blue sky and white sun sprayed on the aircraft flying over their heads The national aircraft with the military emblem, the migrant workers put down their tools and cheered.

Suddenly, with a "boom", a dazzling thunderbolt fireball exploded in midair. Amidst the thunderous explosion, a violent explosion occurred in the middle of the fuselage of one of the transport planes. It was almost blown into two pieces at the waist, and turned into two large wreckages at the nose and tail, as well as countless fragments. meteor shower.

The migrant workers on the ground were stunned, and then the engineer officer on the scene shouted: "The plane crashed! Save people!"

"Hurry up and save people!" The migrant workers hurriedly ran to the place where the wreckage of the plane crashed.

In the sky, the fighter pilot who was escorting the transport plane that exploded and crashed reported in shock: "Report! Report! The No. [-] transport plane exploded and crashed! I didn't see the pilot parachute!"

The pilot of the leading fighter said calmly: "Don't panic! Fly to Zhengzhou Airport for an emergency landing immediately!"

The plane explosion made Zhou Zhirou, who knew about it at the first time, break out in cold sweat. He was terrified, because he knew that Jiang Weiguo was on the plane. It stands to reason that he should report this incident to Chiang Kai-shek immediately, but he dared not. However, he thought that if he reported it, there must be other departments reporting it. Quickly reported to Chiang Kai-shek.

After receiving the report, Chiang Kai-shek was stunned. He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss and his body was cold. Then he ordered to call the North China Political Affairs Committee to find out whether Jiang Weiguo was on the plane that exploded and crashed.

Chiang Kai-shek's fear did not last long, because he quickly received a telegram from Chiang Wei-guo:

"Father, don't worry, I'm safe and sound!"

Chiang Kai-shek, who was so worried that the boulder fell to the ground, hurriedly asked Jiang Weiguo: "Wei'er, why did that plane crash? Aren't you supposed to be on that plane?"

Jiang Weiguo replied: "The cause of the crash is not clear yet. Maybe it was an accident. I was supposed to be on that plane, but something happened temporarily and I escaped disaster!"

Chiang Kai-shek's heart was wide open, and he almost cried with joy: "This is the Lord blessing you!" (Chiang Kai-shek is a Christian)

At this time, Jiang Weiguo was on the way from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou. Liu Qihu, who was sitting next to him, handed him the telegram he had just received: "Boss, the transport plane you were supposed to take crashed. Two pilots were killed and died. According to the witness testimony of the pilot, the cause of the plane crash was a sudden explosion of unknown cause in the middle cabin, which was so powerful that it completely blew up the plane into two parts in the air, and the pilot had no time to parachute!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with lingering fear, "Boss, Luckily you weren't on that plane!"

The plane that Jiang Weiguo wanted to take was originally parked at Taiyuan Airport, but he did not take it. Half an hour before the official departure, three transport planes flew from Zhengzhou Airport to Taiyuan Airport. Jiang Weiguo and his party took the transport plane from Zhengzhou.

Jiang Weiguo knew that he had once again brushed shoulders with death, which not only made him deeply afraid and grateful, but also made him feel extremely hatred and anger.

"What do you think was the cause of the explosion?" Jiang Weiguo asked Liu Qihu.

Liu Qihu thought for three seconds, and gave a [-]% sure answer: "There is a bomb on the plane!"

"Who wants my life?" Jiang Weiguo was surprised, hated and angry, and also very puzzled.

"The deputy bureau chief is already investigating!" Liu Qihu looked at Jiang Weiguo, "Boss, there are too many people who want your life, and there are people abroad..." He paused, and added, "There are also domestic ones!"

"It's easy to hide a sharp spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!" Jiang Weiguo sighed with emotion. He knew that he was already a big man who could manipulate, change, and guide history. Live every step of the way.

After traveling halfway around the world, on the evening of June 6 (local time), Jiang Weiguo arrived in Berlin and came to Germany for the second time.

Since the four-nation alliance of Germany, China, Japan, and Italy is an undisclosed secret internationally (the intelligence agencies of the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union have more or less spied on some inside information, but the four countries of Germany, China, Japan, and Italy have not officially announced that they have concluded an alliance), so Jiang Weiguo When you come to Germany, you should not be too ostentatious, but not show off. Neither the Chinese nor the German media reported on this, nor did the Chinese and German governments announce it. Therefore, after Jiang Weiguo’s plane landed in Berlin, there was no crowd to welcome him, only one A small number of high-ranking Germans were waiting for him, and the leader was Hitler himself.

"Little Mr. Jiang, my friend!" Seeing Jiang Weiguo stepping off the plane, Hitler immediately greeted him with joy and opened his arms enthusiastically when he was three meters away from Jiang Weiguo.

"Your Excellency the Führer!" Jiang Weiguo smiled and accepted Hitler's hug.

"We meet again!" Hitler was radiant and radiant.

"Yes, we meet again, Your Excellency the Führer, I am very honored!" Jiang Weiguo looked at Hitler with a smile. The beard was as shiny as if it had been oiled.

This is not surprising, after all, what is the situation in Germany now?The Chinese phrase "Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth from the Ashes" is a perfect description.

Germany's economy has been fully revived and developed by leaps and bounds. Germany's agriculture, industry, commerce, education, transportation, medical care and other social industries are in full swing. The German army has also been fully rebuilt. , the Rhineland was recovered, Austria and Germany merged, Czechoslovakia was occupied by Germany, Spain and Italy were all controlled by Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria threw themselves into the arms of Germany and stood in the German camp.

It took Hitler only six and a half years to achieve such major and numerous achievements, allowing the formerly battered Germany to re-emerge as a world-class power, and Germany's honor and national pride were gradually restored.
