300 trainers, 100 i15 fighters, 80 medium-range bombers

"Your Excellency Commander, your appetite is really big." When Sovsky heard the purchase list proposed by Jiang Li, he was shocked. The total amount of aircraft purchases and large crude steel purchases was 30 to 40 million US dollars. Although some of them were loans to the Soviet Union, the first actual payment amount reached nearly 20 million, which could completely allow the Soviet Union to recover the cost and make a lot of money. After all, the profit of arms, even if the price of weapons like the Soviet Union is relatively low, still has a considerable profit margin.

"Yes, General Sovsky, the situation in our country is now very critical. Our country's * army is unable to block the Japanese attack on the Pingjin line, and the Japanese army is mobilizing forces to attack Shanghai at this time. My troops are being held largely on the Pingjin line, and they are unable to provide assistance to Nanjing at this time, so they urgently need your country's help. According to the information I have received, the Japanese army is now increasing the expansion of the Kanto Army, and your country must have received similar news.

I need not only your country's aircraft, but also your country needs to send at least 200 pilots and 500 ground crews to help my flight team fight the Japanese army. After all, the Northwest's power in aviation is still quite weak, and this time the battle with the Japanese army in Pingjin was even more costly. If there were not enough aircraft and personnel to supplement and lack sufficient air firepower support, I would probably be unable to engage in a large-scale battle with the Japanese army later." Jiang Li said with a serious expression.

"This, Commander, is of great importance. The number of aircraft involved is too many, which has exceeded my authority." Sovsky admitted.

"Okay, I hope your country can reply as soon as possible. You should know that the Japanese army mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops this time. I believe you know the situation in our country. The warlords in the north are full of factions. They are not subordinate to each other. We were originally far weaker than the Japanese army. Now we are fighting on our own and our command is not unified. General Sovsky, you are also a soldier, so you should know what this means."

"His Excellency Commander, our country's TB Tupolev heavy bomber is also very good, with a high bomb load and a long range. It is a very good choice for your army that is seriously lacking bombers." Sovsky recommended.

"Do you still know the situation in the northwest? The northwest has few people and thalassin poverty. Whether it is steel or oil production, it is not enough. For heavy bombers like TB Tupolev, even if they are equipped in the northwest, there is probably not so much fuel for consumption. If there is too much equipment, it will not be afforded. If there is less equipment, it will only increase the logistics pressure." Jiang Li shook his head with a wry smile. He looked helpless on his face. But he was quite despised by Sovsky's recommendation. TB Tupolev heavy bomber.

The bomber is a four-engine bomber. As the world's first four-engine bomber, its design is very avant-garde and forward-looking. However, the Soviet engine manufacturing industry is not reliable for the time being, and this kind of aircraft is not very reliable. It has a flight altitude of more than 2,000 meters and a speed of only about 200 kilometers per hour, which is extremely fast. Although several heavy machine guns are installed on the aircraft, it makes this thing look like a bulky hedgehog. However, when encountering Japanese fighter jets, it is still difficult to escape the shooting down.

If it is a four-engine bomber of the TB series level, the Northwest has the strength to make it itself, but Jiang Li is not satisfied with the performance of this bomber. After all, this kind of aircraft is too useless in the war later, and it will be quickly eliminated within one or two years. If it is not eliminated, it will be shot down by the Japanese army. Jiang Li does not feel sorry for the plane. At this time, the Northwest is not as strong as the Soviet Union. The pilot died wave after wave.

"Well, okay, I will transfer the commander's request back to China first, and hope that the country can respond as soon as possible." Sovsky's face stuttered when he heard Jiang Li's words. Of course, he would not be upset about not selling such aircraft successfully. After all, what Jiang Li said at this time was the truth. The reason why the Northwest has not developed a suitable warship aircraft for the time being is that the production capacity is lacking, and on the other hand, the Northwest's aviation fuel reserves are not rich. A month ago, the Northwest purchased a batch of refining equipment from the Soviet Union. Now the equipment is still on the way to transport.

Jiang Li didn't have a smile on his face since he entered the door. He had a look of a weak man on his face. The crying child had milk. The weaker he was in front of the Soviet Union, the red tyrant in Moscow could have allocated more assistance. At this time, the production capacity of aircraft in the northwest was very limited. Only by purchasing enough trainers and releasing all the production capacity of aircraft in the northwest on Feilong 1, Xifeng 1 and Eagle 2. After all, relatively speaking, for trainers that do not need to go to the battlefield, the requirements are relatively low. For aircraft on the battlefield, try to use self-produced ones, and there will be more logistics guarantees in the future.

"By the way, the industrial equipment purchased by the Northwest from the United States will arrive in Vladivostok next month. I hope your country can arrange transportation trains as soon as possible." Jiang Li said again. Since the launch of the Nirvana plan occupied a lot of resources and the full war with the Japanese army, the huge military supplies occupied most of the Northwest's revenue. At this time, due to the war, Jiang Li's overseas pharmaceutical companies earn a lot of profits every year, while meeting his own development, he can only relieve some of the pressure on the Northwest's huge capital needs.

However, the loans with the United States and the United Kingdom were relatively smooth. A loan of US$120 million and a loan of £20 million allowed Jiang Li's plan to expand the army of 300,000, and he could also buy a large amount of industrial equipment. Of course, there were also some technical engineers and other technical engineers who were aided by the United States. After all, there were still large amounts of business dealings between the United States and Japan at this time, but relatively speaking, Japan's aggressiveness in East Asia has greatly shaken the interests of Britain and the United States in China.

"We will try our best to provide some convenience for these devices," Sovsky said nodding.

"I can't thank you very much. The Northwest will remember that your country has extended a helping hand in the danger of our country." Jiang Li smiled at this time. The previous Silver Act had laid a considerable foundation in the northwest. The equipment purchased from these two loans was transported to the northwest. After all, the foundation of the northwest was too weak in the past, and a large amount of funds were spent on infrastructure construction. Now, after five or six years of construction, the northwest has already had a certain foundation. The equipment purchased this time still includes machinery manufacturing and metallurgy.
