Section 1329 Discussing Action Details
"Five million US dollars, one hundred tons of weapons, ammunition and medicines each." Zuo Chong issued a condition after hearing Melos's question.
As the saying goes, asking for a price everywhere, paying back the money locally. Whether it is money or supplies, the number reported by Zuo Chong is higher than the one in the plan. As for whether the Americans will agree, it depends on the other party's determination to get a new fighter.
In fact, Zuo Chong underestimated the Americans' generousness. When Melez heard this, he just thought for a moment and agreed, with a calm expression.
"No problem, but this is beyond the authority given to me by Congress, and I need to inform Washington of this."
Zuo Zhong had only one thought in his mind. Damn, he had less reporting. A big dog dealer is a big dog dealer. If he had known it, he would have doubled it.
But since he had already said it, it was not easy to increase the price. Zuo Chong sucked his teeth regretfully and was stunned for a long time before replying awkwardly.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, please reply as soon as possible. If the Japanese transfer the plane, we will lose this best opportunity."
Melos shrugged, thinking that Washington would agree to the matter, as long as he gains sea and air advantages in the Pacific region, the money and supplies are nothing.
A few days later.
A telegram was sent from the United States to the Sino-US Cooperation Institute. After reading it, Melos immediately called Zuo Chong and the two sides started the talks in the conference room.
"Left, five million dollars in cash will be delivered to you within this month. The weapons, ammunition and medicines you need have also been shipped in boxes. Let's talk about your plans."
Merles lit the cigar and took a sip. His indifferent expression, and combined with the US Naval Academy commemorative ring on his finger, he looked like a nouveau riche.
Zuo Chong has always respected the financial owner. He changed his previous indifference and earnestly handed Melos the ashtray to Melos, and spoke out his plan.
"My people will rebel against the puppet Manchurian pilots at Wanggang Airport through Liu Guotai, and they will defect at the right time. The Japanese guards at the airport will be handed over to the gang and my subordinates to solve the problem."
According to the information provided by Liu Guotai, the Japanese were very strict in the management of the Third Flying Team, and the officers and soldiers of the puppet Manchukuo were beaten and scolded at all times, so they were resentful.
As long as the guidance is properly guided, the success rate of convincing these people to defect is very high. Even if the other party is unwilling, the Military Control Commission is sure to make them have no other choice.
Listening to Zuo Zhong's story, Melez studied the telegram from Harbin Station and asked three questions.
1. The puppet Manchurian pilots of the Third Flying Team had never been exposed to new aircraft, and were even less able to fly them to defect.
There are differences in handling, engine and power system, flight instrument and system layout, weight and center of gravity, and aerodynamics between different aircraft. Change flights require re-learning and adaptation.
However, the Japanese banned puppet Manchurian pilots from approaching new aircraft, and did not solve this problem. The plan was just a castle in the air and was not feasible.
2. The performance data of the new aircraft is unknown, the speed and range are not known, and the defection route cannot be formulated.
Wanggang Airport is 2,000 kilometers away from the nearest Guomao District. Where should the plane land after taking off? You can't find a place to make a landing in a hurry.
3. How to avoid the Japanese's pursuit.
Once problems arise at Wanggang Airport, the Puppet Manchukuo Air Force and even the Japanese Army Air Force will definitely be dispatched in full swing. No matter how strong the six new fighter jets are, they cannot beat hundreds of aircraft.
Faced with Melos' first question, Zuo Chong answered with a detailed action plan.
As early as when he decided to seize the Zero fighter, he thought of the difficulties he would encounter during the period and also the solutions.
But this method is a bit complicated and it is troublesome to explain. Let Melez go and see it by himself. Zuo Chong doesn't want to waste his saliva.
As for the second question, I spread the map of East Asia with a ruler and drew a straight line on it, and said at the same time.
"Mr. Melez, Liu Guotai said that the new aircraft transferred from Kobe to Wanggang Airport, and the distance between these two cities is 1,500 kilometers."
The operations on the figure are the basic skills of military personnel and intelligence personnel. Using the scale bar, the left meter can easily calculate the straight line distance between Kobe and Wanggang Airport.
Melez's eyes flashed and guessed what Zuo Chong was going to say next. He found the compass and the military map of the Republic of China, and drew a circle on the map.
The center of this circle is Wanggang Airport, with a radius of 1,500 kilometers. This is the maximum range of the new aircraft, at least the maximum range that can be determined at present.
Looking at the military map, it marked the latest sphere of influence of the Japanese and Fruit Army in different colors, which is very intuitive.
Looking at the area covered by the circle, Mellos frowned. Except for the Red and Russians and Mongolia under the control of Red and Russians, all the places where new aircraft can fly are Japanese-occupied areas.
He looked up at Zuo Chong and asked in a deep voice: "Zuo, I have to remind you that if we fly the plane to Hongji, we will get nothing.
The Red and Russians are very greedy and will never hand over the new aircraft they have already obtained. In the words of you, the Republic of China, you will be useless."
Zuo Chong's smile did not diminish. He tapped his fingers in a certain area of the map, signaling the other party to focus on the place.
Melez was not sure, so he looked down again and suddenly let out a light eh. He just ignored that there was another color on the map, which means the bright red of the border area.
The main sphere of influence of the border region is in the northwest, but it also has sporadic bases in North China and intertwined with the Japanese territory. One of them, Laiyuan, is within the maximum range of the new aircraft.
Laiyuan...
Melez swept across the map and found that this place is southwest of Peking, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is a strategic location.
Strangely, the Japanese were unable to occupy such an important position, and the vast majority of rural areas were under the control of the Northwest Underground Party.
Since the decision to cooperate with the National Government, how to deal with the relationship with the Northwest Underground Party has become an unavoidable problem for the US government.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Some members of the parliamentarians feel that they should treat the Northwest Underground Party with an attitude towards Red and Russia. To be more specific, prevention is greater than cooperation, and red must not be allowed to spread in East Asia.
The rest of the lawmakers believed that the enemy's enemy was friends, and the most important thing for the United States at present was to defeat the Japanese. For this purpose, everything could be discussed.
Melez himself had no disgust towards the Northwest, and was even curious. After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked Zuo Chong tentatively.
"Left, do you mean to fly a new plane to Laiyuan? Will the Northwest Underground Party seize the plane like the Red and Russians?"
"And as far as I know, they have no planes and no airports. Laiyuan is very close to the Japanese and is not a good landing place."
Zuo Chong's expression remained unchanged and replied slowly: "Although the Northwest and Red Russia believe in the same ideology, the Northwest is more credible than Mosk in terms of credit, and their words are kept."
"As for Laiyuan is too close to the Japanese-occupied area, this is not a problem at all. It is just a transit airport, and the plane can fly to the mountain city or other national-controlled areas after refueling there for a second time."
"The underground party organization has a mobilization ability far beyond your imagination. It is easy for them to build a temporary field airport in a short period of time."
Melos closed the action plan, and if the plan inside could be successfully implemented, his first problem would be solved.
Add Zuo Chong's answer just now, and the action only has the last difficulty, how should the plane avoid the Japanese's pursuit.
Zuo Chong only said two words: "Monte!"
"Monte?" Melos asked back in confusion.
"Yes." Zuo Chong didn't keep it a secret and said with confidence:
"After taking off, the plane flew southwest first, making the illusion of flying directly to the Kuomintang-controlled area. It suddenly turned west in the middle, and then headed south to Laiyuan when approaching Mongolia."
"The areas where this route passes are mostly unmanned areas, which not only reduces the chances of planes being discovered, but also confuses the Japanese, making them think that this matter was done by the Red and Russians, and buys time for the second refueling."
Melos was not in a hurry to draw a conclusion. He first drew an approximate route on the map, and then carefully looked at the terrain along the way, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Wanggang Airport is the Greater Xing'an Mountains to the west, and then to the west is the grasslands. There are also mountains and wastelands between Mongolian and Laiyuan, which perfectly avoids densely populated areas.
There are only one place in Zhangjiakou on the entire route, but the aircraft can bypass it by slightly adjusting the altitude or route, which can not waste much fuel and has little impact on the action.
After thinking for a while, Melos, who became more and more excited, asked the Military Control Commission to implement the plan as soon as possible, and it would be best to act before the Pacific Fleet recovered its strength.
Left heavy pressure to keep the other party calm. This action must be carried out in the Japanese-occupied area. Preparations must be made and not rush. Besides, he has to go to the Eighth Route Army Office to seek help from the underground party.
Although Melos was determined to object, he finally shut his mouth obediently. The US side was only responsible for paying money and had no say in its actions.
In the next half month, the spies in Harbin were facing a great enemy because an unknown radio signal appeared repeatedly.
In front of the Harbin Police Department, Gao Bin (appeared in Section 683), who had fought with the Military Control Commission, walked out of the office building. He looked at the snowflakes falling in the sky and climbed into the car.
(The former site of the fake Hacheng Police Department, photographed by the author during travel photography)
"Section Chief, the electric vehicle has not gained anything. The other party is very cunning and will change its position every time he sends a newspaper." The traitor who drove the car reported.
In recent years, Gao Bin has been promoted from the head of the ordinary higher corps to the deputy chief of the secret service department by betraying and harming his compatriots.
Hearing his subordinates' words, he closed his eyes and made arrangements: "Strictly monitor the recent people coming to Harbin, so that all the brothers will be alert. Harbin will not be calm for long."
The sudden increase in telegrams and secretive enemies all show one thing, someone wants to do something in Harbin.
Gao Bin passed the opponent of the Special Service Department in his mind, feeling that the other party was the most likely to be the Military Control Commission.
The unknown signal was obviously sent by a high-power radio station. In Harbin, only the military commander and Red Russia were capable of equipping such radio stations.
However, after the Zorg incident, the Red and Russian agents entered a dormant state and rarely had conflicts with the Japanese and the secret service department. However, people in the mountain city became more and more rampant.
