Patton stayed in Tu Sanpao's yard, while Eisenhower said he was going to see Johnson, the American consul in the three eastern provinces. Tu Qianjun understood and sent him over with a smile.

After returning to the office, Tu Qianjun read the documents for a while and then went to rest.

Early the next morning, Eisenhower came to Tu Qianjun with a secret telegram. Looking at the secret telegram, Tu Qianjun smiled slightly, which revealed that the efficiency of the United States in later generations was really slow.

On the contrary, things have been done well in this life, and the United States has already reflected this evening. It also invited the United Kingdom, France, etc. to discuss. It was immediately concluded that a certain amount of support and subsidies should be given to the three northeastern provinces to support the three northeastern provinces in secretly assisting the Soviet Union.

A batch of munitions.

Of course, the telegram also made it clear. They should not give too much money to the three northeastern provinces, and the Soviets should still pay a little. And the most important thing is that their secret support of the three northeastern provinces and the Soviet Union must not be exposed.

After mutual consultation between the United States, Britain and France, they have reached a consensus. For every tank given to the Soviet Union by the three northeastern provinces, the three northeastern provinces will be given a subsidy of US$3,000. Each aircraft will be given a US$1,000, and each artillery will be US$700. Shells, bullets

If you wait for the subsidy of 500 US dollars per ton, it can be seen that this is already a huge hemorrhage for these three countries.

The United States and the United Kingdom have just seen a glimmer of hope that the crisis is over. In France, the Maginot Line is almost bankrupt and the economy is weak. This is the final result of their bargaining.

Of course, these will not be paid directly in currency. Instead, settlement will be made with materials from industries in various countries in the three eastern provinces.

This was also a way for Roosevelt to obtain the support of Congress, and it was also a compromise for the British side to obtain the support of Congress. Tu Qianjun was also very satisfied with this, so the losses to the three eastern provinces would not be great.

"Ike, you can reply to President Roosevelt and say I know what to do." Tu Qianjun handed the message back to Eisenhower, and Eisenhower took it as a matter of course and put it back in his pocket.

Since this kind of agreement is secret, it naturally cannot leave any foundation. After getting back the telegram, Eisenhower handed some bills of lading to Tu Qianjun and said with a smile.

"These are the supplies we will give after coordination. The Commander-in-Chief can ask people to pick up the goods." After saying that, Eisenhower smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect George to be so obsessed with martial arts, and even wanted to worship your father as his master...

…”

"Isn't this great?!" Tu Qianjun smiled and said, "I admire George very much. Soldiers like him will shine on the battlefield!"

Eisenhower nodded, then sighed and said: "I have never doubted this. As his classmate, I know him well. With his talents, he will definitely shine as long as he goes to the battlefield. But his

He also has character flaws. He is irritable, irritable and does not like to compromise. He has no understanding of politics and diplomacy. These can easily make him enemies..."

Tu Qianjun heard this, and Eisenhower gave Tu Qianjun advice from the perspective of a friend. Eisenhower knew Patton very well, and he also knew that Patton's character would cause him trouble.

Historically, there are many doubts surrounding Button's death. He was involved in a bizarre car accident while hunting, and died 12 days later due to serious injuries.

Among the three people who were involved in a car accident at the same time, only Barton was seriously injured, while the other two were unscathed. The driver who caused the accident escaped smoothly after the car accident, and no one knew where he went.

In addition, the U.S. authorities’ investigation of the car accident was also very sloppy, leaving no official documentation of the on-site investigation. There was only a certification document for the driver of Button’s car, which had obvious signs of alteration; and the situation was later turned around.

But Barton died suddenly. Various phenomena made Barton's death a mystery...

In June 1945, Patton returned home for the last time. Although he was welcomed as a hero by the American people, he told his family that this was the last time they would see him.

"My strength is exhausted. I don't know how it will happen, but I will definitely die over there." When Patton said these words, the European war was over.

The cause of Patton's death is still a mystery. American TV host John Batchelor's view is the most representative. "Although it is not certain that he was assassinated, it is no longer certain that he was not assassinated."

If Eisenhower and Tu Qianjun had not known each other for several years, he would not have said these words. It was precisely because they had known each other for several years. And Eisenhower was promoted to brigadier general because of his experience in armored combat in the three eastern provinces.

Therefore, Eisenhower always believed that he owed the Tu family and his son a favor. In this case, he did not want the Tu family and his son to get too close to Patton, lest Patton offend others and they would be implicated.

"Ike, I know what you are saying." Tu Qianjun sighed and whispered to Eisenhower: "But George is indeed a great soldier. I don't want him to be in a field that he is not familiar with.

Mistake. Perhaps his uncompromising character will be tempered."

After saying that, Tu Qianjun smiled and said to Eisenhower: "This may be of some help to you in the future."

Eisenhower had no objection to this. As fellow military officers, he and Patton were very close. Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to Patton. It would be good if Patton's character could be changed.

After the serious talk was over, the two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Eisenhower left. Tu Qianjun immediately asked Yang Yuting, who was in charge of the negotiations, and Yan Zhengqing, the governor's office, to come to the office, and handed him the bills of lading with a smile.

"These are the things that the Americans gave us to help the Soviet Union. In addition, my father said earlier that we would increase the number of various weapons in exchange for a certain amount of funds. I believe we will not lose too much...

…”

Tu Qianjun paused, then smiled and said: "We are just about to change our clothes, and we are still worried about what to do with these weapons! Since the Soviets want it, then give it all to them! Haha..."

After Yan Zhengqing and Yang Yuting read the bill of lading that Eisenhower brought, they also started laughing! After a while, Yang Yuting said to Tu Qianjun.

"Junzi, I don't quite understand. What do you think this 75mm mountain gun is going to do?! This gun isn't very good! In addition to being portable, its attack power and range are average..."

Facing Yang Yuting's question, Tu Qianjun smiled lightly and said softly: "Uncle Linge, they don't want this cannon to hit people. They don't use it to hit bunkers. I guess they use it to hit tanks."

Yang Yuting couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He naturally didn't know that the Soviet army was already equipped with a large number of 76.2 mm artillery. The Soviet army's artillery has always maintained a large number of 76.2 mm 0002p field cannons from the pre-Russian period.

.

In 1933, the Soviet Red Army received a new type of 76.2 mm caliber cannon, the 1933 model. However, this howitzer was only a transitional product, and was developed to fill the gap for the 1936 model howitzer that was temporarily out of service.

The answer to this can be found in its gun mount. In order to speed up the development process, the Soviet Union’s gun mount was directly derived from the 191030 122mm field howitzer, which had a service record in 1941.

However, this kind of artillery is also very powerful. According to the data, the muzzle velocity of the gun reaches 706 meters per second. When firing ordinary howitzers, the range can reach 13,600 meters. It was the longest-range artillery of the same caliber howitzer in the hands of the Soviet Red Army at that time.

The 1927-type 76.2 mm caliber howitzer, which is also equipped with the Soviet Red Army artillery division, was developed based on the 1902-type howitzer, so compared with the 1936-type howitzer, there is a large performance gap.

But this is just historical. Before the artillery was developed, Stalin was already fighting to the death with Trotsky. But in this kind of actual combat, the Soviet army discovered one thing: ordinary anti-tank guns can't deal with it.

Tiger pose i is totally tickling.

But if you use this kind of mountain cannon, you can penetrate the armor of the Tiger I from the side! This discovery made Stalin's troops ecstatic, and this is why Blucher came to Fengtian and asked for 600 75mm mountain cannons!

It was too late to modify it, but the previous battle between the Soviet Union and the Northeastern Army on the Middle East road made them know that Fengtian also had a 75mm caliber artillery, so naturally they asked for it.

"On the one hand, our gun can be disassembled and transported very easily. Secondly, its firepower is not bad. Although it is impossible to build a bunker and cover the fire, it can still be used if it is to attack tanks."

Tu Qianjun smiled at Yang Yuting and said: "This is the advantage of actual combat. The advantages and disadvantages of weapons and how to use them can be tested at once. However, this also shows that our Tiger I still has flaws..."

"What weapon is without flaws?! Every weapon will have flaws." Yang Yuting was very open-minded. He smiled at Tu Qianjun and said: "But I didn't expect these old fools to have the intention to hide it from us.

I don’t know!”

"Hahaha... Of course they refused to say it. We made so much money by selling them so many arms. With Lao Maozi's character, they also want to trick us!" Tu Qianjun laughed at Yang Yuting.

Said: "That's right! Using mountain cannons to attack tanks is a good combat method. Unfortunately, it is only effective against German tanks..."

With that said, Tu Qianjun paused and said to Yang Yuting: "Actually, it's still a bit difficult for them to penetrate our Tiger style, but those German guys' ones will not be difficult!"

When Yang Yuting heard this, he couldn't help but be a little confused. Aren't our tanks the same as those of Germany?! How come it's easy to penetrate the German tanks, but it's a bit difficult to penetrate ours?!

The reason why Stalin was able to use these old-fashioned artillery pieces to penetrate the armor of the Tiger I was also inseparable from the Germans. After the Tiger I tanks were taken back, the Germans thought that the armor was too thick! Some of them were unnecessary.

So we started to modify it. We really can’t blame the Germans. In this era, there was no concept of heavy armor. Even when the German Panzer IV tanks came, the armor was only 80 mm on the front and 30 mm on the sides.

In the eyes of the Germans, the design of this tiger is good. But the armor is a complete waste! So after some reductions, the front armor became 80mm, and the side armor was reduced to 50mm to give Tu Qianjun some face.

In this way, the weight and cost were reduced all at once! This made the Germans quite proud. They even hid it from the Wehrmacht and did not tell them. In fact, Tu Qianjun had known about it for a long time. Stalin had penetrated the tank mechanics of the Wehrmacht in the Soviet army.

You will see it naturally.

After studying the captured materials, the conclusion came out! The Germans changed the parameters of armor thickness without authorization, and ended up falling headfirst on the old Soviet artillery! This conclusion makes people laugh or cry.

Fortunately, the Germans did not modify the 75mm cannon, otherwise they might not be able to attack the tanks sold by the Wehrmacht to the Soviet Union. Trotsky, who had a huge numerical advantage, still drove Stalin out of Moscow with the power of artillery.

And Stalin also relied on the Tiger tanks of the Wehrmacht to hold on for a long time. At the same time, he also discovered the lethality of the 76mm gun against Trotsky and his tanks!

Therefore, there was Blyucher's request not to use large-caliber artillery but to order 75mm-caliber artillery this time.

Knowing the reason, Yang Yuting couldn't help but laugh! The Soviet Union and Germany really want to cheat each other! It has some relationship with our three eastern provinces, but it's really not big! They are just playing on their own, and they think the National Defense Forces don't know!

After everyone talked and laughed for a while, Yang Yuting's secretary came over and said that Bu Liuher was here with someone. While waiting in the conference room, Yang Yuting handed Yan Zhengqing the bill of lading, and left Tu Qianjun's office with his secretary smiling.

.

The secretary was a little confused. Yang Yuting's face had always been ugly before. Why was he so different when he came out of the commander-in-chief's office?!

Not only the secretary, but also Blyucher felt the same way. Yesterday he looked at the list with a sad face, but today he smiled. This made Blyucher feel a little chilly!

Dealing with the three northeastern provinces is not a day or two. As long as these guys laugh at it, it will be difficult! But what happened next surprised Blyucher. Not only did Yang Yuting not reduce the equipment they proposed, but he also said enthusiastically

:This equipment is not enough! How can you compete with Trotsky if you don’t buy more?!

Our 150mm heavy mortar from the three eastern provinces is pretty good! It’s easy to transport and has good firepower! Our Liao 16-type 150mm mortar from the three eastern provinces has been improved and can now hit 4,000 meters! It’s very good!

After saying this, Bluucher was also moved! It wasn't that he didn't want to change his clothes, but the things they had carefully calculated would basically touch the bottom line of the three eastern provinces.

If you want more, you will definitely have to bargain with the three Northeastern provinces! When it comes to bargaining, Blyucher believes that he is no match for these scheming old foxes from the Three Northeastern provinces. So he made a strategy before coming out, and these gadgets will not be sold at all.

Less! No matter how much you bargain, you will kill so many.

Sure enough, after talking about it for a while, Yang Yuting's fox tail was exposed! (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
