Shancheng, No. 29 Luojiawan, Military Affairs Bureau Headquarters.

Zuo Chong closed the previous document and rubbed his temples tiredly. After the American joined the war, his workload not only became less, but became busier.

Washington sent several telegrams a day, asking the Military Control Commission to provide the movements of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, the whereabouts of the joint fleet, and the resumes of the Japanese commanders, just asking what color of locusts are wearing.

If the first batch of 50 million US dollars of aid had been deposited, Zuo Chong would not bother to pay attention to the other party, and the Military Control Commission was not the turtle in the wishing pool, and he could have spit out information if he lost a piece of silver dollars.

But no matter how tired you are, you have to continue working, otherwise someone will not agree, and the top leaders of the Frugal Party will not agree, and everyone will be blinded by the US dollar.

After a while of busyness, He Yijun came in with a telegram and reported to Zuo Chong: "Second post, Harbin Station has an emergency power."

After all, the Zuo Chong, who was reviewing the documents, was the focus of Harbin. After all, it was the base of the Kwantung Army's water supply force.

Because Saburo Inuchi had fought too many penicillin, he retired "gloriously" after receiving a commendation letter. The water supply force changed its captain, hoping that the secret telegram had nothing to do with this matter.

Zuo Chong put down his pen, took the telegram and looked at it. At first glance, he saw the code name of the generator, plum blossoms, and valley eagles.

It turned out to be this "couple". Zuo Chong smiled slightly and looked down. As he looked, his expression became serious.

Harbin Station reported three pieces of information, the puppet Manchukuo pilot surrendered, there might be underground parties in the trap, and a new Japanese naval fighter jet appeared at Wanggang Airport. Harbin Station asked the headquarters to inquire whether to attack Wanggang Airport.

The second article is normal. Everyone in the world has an underground party, but the remaining information is more valuable than the other, especially the third article.

It reminded Zuo Chong of a Japanese fighter that had the upper hand in the early Pacific War, a Zero carrier-based fighter, referred to as Zero fighter, and number A6M.

Fully enclosed landing gear, electric-heated flight suit, large-caliber machine gun, constant-speed propeller, super-hard aluminum load-bearing structure, large visibility cockpit and abandonable secondary fuel tank are all firsts of Zero.

In fact, the Military Control Commission had known that the Japanese army had such a new fighter jet. In July 1940, at the Shanghai, Jinling and Qiancheng Intelligence Stations, a new type of fighter jet appeared in the 12th Air Wing of the Japanese Army.

In September, a group of Japanese bombers bombed the mountain city under the escort of new fighters, and on the way back, they shot down more than 20 Fruit Fighters in the Bishan area.

After the Bishan Air Battle, the Japanese authorities publicly played the documentary "News No. 22". This documentary shows the footage of the Japanese Navy's air force returning from an air strike against Yama Castle, and there are video records of Zero fighter jets.

But the government and military leaders did not care about this, because the strength of the Guo Army Air Force was weak, and it would be meaningless no matter how strong the Japanese air force was, the situation could not be worse anyway.

There is a saying that as long as I am weak enough, you can't do anything about me. This is what I mean.

But once and forth, the Japanese army is attacking Myanmar, and the last land supply line in the Republic of China is about to be cut off.

At present, the combat supplies, weapons and ammunition of the Guo Army were only enough to last for two months. Shancheng Arsenal was forced to shut down due to lack of steel, and the Air Force's aircraft were also grounded due to a shortage of fuel.

During the third Battle of Shacheng, the front line asked for shells from Shancheng. What was the answer from the military command? The shells are still waiting to be transported in Yangon!

All parties' emergency telegrams continued to fly to the mountain city, and the people in the Kuomintang-controlled area were panic. Many merchants were selling their inventory at a low price to prepare to flee, and some even proposed to move the capital again.

After the Pearl Harbor incident, those literati and poets who had just changed from peace to war continued to jump left and right, writing to fight to the death today, and writing songs to save the country tomorrow, which made readers at a loss.

All the chaos proves that the government has reached its end. US President Roosevelt is well aware of the importance of the government's existence. In addition to economic aid, he also ordered the air route from India to the Republic of China to be opened regardless of any difficulties.

Once the Zero fighter appears on this route, the consequences will be disastrous and the government will completely lose international aid transportation channels.

Zuo Chong became more anxious the more he thought about it, but then he thought that the most important thing he should be anxious about the Zero fighter was not the government, but the Americans.

Washington set a strategy that the European Army was the first, and Asia was led by the navy. The first to experience the power of the Zero fighter jets was the rebuilt Pacific Fleet.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zuo Chong felt that this matter could be operated one by one. If it goes well, the Military Control Commission will not only get some benefits from the Americans, but also destroy the Zero Myth as soon as possible.

He thought of a solution and went to Dai Chunfeng's office to report to the other party the content of the secret telegram from Harbin Station, and also expressed his concerns about the air route.

After hearing this, Lao Dai looked heavy. Of course, he knew the importance of air routes to the national government, but he could not think of a way to deal with new Japanese fighter jets for a while, so he had to turn his attention to Zuo Chong.

"Be careful, tell me what you think." Dai Chunfeng wanted to listen to the opinions of his decent disciples first.

"Okay, teacher." Zuo Chong straightened his body slightly and told Lao Dai about his plan. The plan was summarized in six words, which led to Americans joining the game.

"Let the Americans join the game?" Dai Chunfeng thoughtfully, as if he understood Zuo Chong's meaning.

Zuo Xin nodded, and his tone was very affirmative: "The Harbin Station proposed an attack on the airport to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If the Japanese bombed the airport, they could repair it. It would be better to seize the plane directly."

"The U.S. Navy must be interested in the Japanese's latest fighter jets, because it is a huge threat to their fleet."

"We just use planes as bargaining chips in exchange for the Americans' separate aid to the Military Control Commission, such as funding, equipment and even technology. I don't think Melos will refuse."

When it comes to aid, Dai Chunfeng immediately sat upright. Americans are big families, and the leaks in their hands are enough to fill the Military Control Commission. This plan has great potential.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said lightly: "Oh? What are you going to order from the Americans?"

Zuo Chong didn't hesitate and said the conditions he thought of: three million US dollars, a certain amount of weapons, ammunition and various medicines.

Lao Dai was shocked by the three million dollars and muttered: "Will there be too many? What if the Americans don't agree..."

After saying that, he realized that he had lost his composure, so he immediately returned to his seriousness and ordered Zuo Chong to find Melez to promote the cooperation as quickly as possible.

Zuo Chong left the director's office with a smile, and took a bus to the Sino-US Special Technical Cooperation Institute to meet Melees.

On the way, he thought about the following plans while thinking about how to fool the Americans. When he arrived at the cooperation office, he immediately changed into a smile.

Besides, when Melos learned of Zuo Chong's arrival, he immediately became alert. The US delegation had a deep understanding of the cunning and cruelty of this spy in the Republic of China.

Because of the other side, dozens of naval soldiers died on the territories of their allies, what is even more infuriating is that Washington chose to forget this and pretended that nothing had happened.

Melez made up his mind that he would not believe anything Zuo Chong said, but his ideals were full and reality was skinny. Zuo Chong's first words made Melez forget his decision.

"Old Mei, do you want the new Japanese Navy fighter?" Zuo Chong held Melos' hand and threw out the bait: "As long as you speak, I promise to deliver the plane to you intact."

In Zuozhong's mouth, the new Japanese plane seemed to have become a toy that could be obtained with just reaching out. Combined with the firm tone and relaxed expression, people have to believe it.

Guru~

Melez swallowed, a country's latest fighter jet, and this country is the enemy that the American people hate the most. If Zuo Chong did not deceive him, he would definitely become the navy, no, the hero of the entire country.

But then he thought of an important question: Is it necessary to pay attention to Japanese aircraft?

A few years ago, the Japanese army and navy copied a number of American aircraft through trade and technology transfer, such as the Kawasaki Type 1 transport aircraft, Tachikawaguchi transport aircraft, Nakajima 9 land attack aircraft, and Zero transport aircraft, all of which originated from products from Lockheed and Douglas.

Melos, who was originally ecstatic, was in a moment of depression. A country that even had to imitate transport aircraft, the fighter jets it produced could not be more advanced than the F2A buffalo, F4F wildcat, and P40 tomahawk.

Zuo Chong guessed Melez's idea and took out two documents and translations at the right time, one was a telegram from Harbin Station, and the other was a record and summary of the air battle between Bishan within the Air Force.

Melos, who didn't want to talk, took the documents and read them quickly. The first report was nothing surprising, but the second report quickly attracted his attention.

On the day of the Bishan air battle, the 3rd and 4th battalions of the Guo Army Air Force took off 25 I-15 and 9 I-16 fighters from Taipingsi Airport, and intercepted Japanese aircraft with a total of 34 fighters.

When the Republic of China aircraft group approached the Japanese bomber group, 13 escorted Japanese fighter jets suddenly dived from an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, and the battle began.

In the report, several Fruit Army pilots who participated in the war recorded: At the beginning of the battle, they discovered a metal monoplane fighter that they had never seen before.

This new fighter has extremely fast flight speed and a very small turning radius. When the Guo Army pilot intends to lock from the tail, the Japanese aircraft can get rid of the pursuit effortlessly and turn and bite the Guo Army fighter at extremely fast speed.

Having written this, the handwriting of the Guojun pilot became extremely chaotic, which shows how much impact the scene at that time brought them.

In just half an hour of air combat, with an absolute numerical advantage of 34:13, the Guo Army Air Force was shot down 24 aircraft, but only 3 Japanese aircraft were injured, 24:0. This huge gap shocked Melez.

He did not think that this was caused by the low quality of the Guo Army pilots. Through these days of investigation, he believed that the Guo Army pilots had at least half of the professional capabilities of the US Army Aviation.

Even in the determination to defend the country, the Guo army pilots far surpassed American pilots. At least American pilots would not fly planes to hit the enemy's technical weapons.

So what is the reason why a group of pilots with proper training and strong fighting will be beaten to no avail, it can only be a gap in weapons.

The two-winged I-15 will not consider it. The I-16 is not an old and outdated aircraft. It only appeared in the Red Square parade for the first time in 1935. It was the absolute main force of the Red Russian Air Force for a long time.

If the Japanese could quickly defeat the Republic of China Air Force with new fighters, they would also be able to use new fighters to pose a threat to the Pacific Fleet.
