    "300 million U.S. dollars?" Yang Qiu was really shocked by this number, because it only cost more than 20 million U.S. dollars to buy that batch of ore.  "Baohang, has the United States started researching nuclear bombs?" Offering such a high price shows that the United States is very anxious and waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.

    Since the last time the United States wanted to purchase uranium ore, several major intelligence agencies have paid special attention to this aspect of intelligence.  However, due to the high degree of confidentiality of the Manhattan Project, there is not enough information yet, but Yan Baohang also has his own method: "I only know that many physicists have been gathered together, and I cannot grasp the exact progress. However, I have stepped up surveillance in Europe and the United States.  Judging from the reactions of geological and mining companies during this period, the United States has not yet collected enough ore for use, and is searching for uranium ores across the United States and Canada. The United Kingdom seems to have also participated, sending many geologists to the colonies. The two of them have recently  We have repeatedly spied on the Central Physics Laboratory that we deliberately made public. By the way, I heard from Dai Yunong that Germany seems to have a similar plan."

    "Germany is also researching nuclear bombs? Can you find out the specific progress!" Yue Peng and Chu Nan stood up immediately.  To be honest, after seeing the power of nuclear bombs, everyone already knows that nuclear weapons are probably the most important weapon to end the war.  Europe and the United States have not developed it, and they are not eager to use it. Instead, they are happy to watch Britain, the United States and Germany consume each other.  But if Germany researches it, it will have a very serious impact on the future world pattern.  But Yang Qiu is not too worried, because Germany's research direction was wrong from the beginning.

    The next morning, Yang Qiu held closed-door consultations with Hull at the Presidential Palace.  Since it was a separate, closed-door consultation, the conversation was full of tension from the beginning.  "Mr. President, I don't think the Siberian annexation you are promoting will help this war. I think you are taking the wrong path! This way. It is not conducive to solving territorial disputes between countries in the future, but will make it more and more difficult.  Many countries have used this method to blackmail people and embezzle other people's property and land. Moreover, this incident has brought shame to all alliance countries. Many countries will worry about becoming the next Siberia, including the countries and regions bordering you.  So I think you should make a public commitment as soon as possible to ensure the international community that similar incidents will not happen again. Only in this way can your neighbors and surrounding ethnic minorities feel at ease and continue to ensure the stability of the Asia-Pacific and the world.  Stability. Roosevelt and Churchill are very concerned and hope to have an immediate meeting with you on this matter that will truly help end the war and restore world peace, and coordinate to determine the positions and responsibilities of our three countries in this war."

    "I am very willing to participate in such a meeting, but I cannot accept what you just said. The Siberian region east of the Yenisey River is annexed to our country. It is an open and fair national consciousness movement. Not only the local Chinese, but also many local people  Ethnic minorities also voted in favor, including Russians, and all the votes in favor exceeded 80%! So I think that not only will this matter not destroy the alliance, on the contrary, it will have a very positive significance for this war! Because this is the former Soviet Union  For the first time, the people of the region have received justice. The right to choose freely! If we stifle justice and conscious rights, how will we promote the freedom of the people of the Caucasus, Ukraine and the Baltics in the future? The Soviet Union is an enemy, but most of the alliance countries are not.  So this matter will only promote independence and disintegrate the enemy. Fundamentally weaken the enemy's combat potential! Of course, in order to allow more Soviet Union countries to gain true freedom and tranquility. I personally don't like this to happen again.  Such incidents. We in China are a responsible country and will not seek unilateral territorial expansion, but we will respect and understand the choices of the people in some regions."

    Hull turned his brain rapidly. Of course he didn't believe what Yang Qiu said next.  Now that the merger has become a fact, there is no need to confront China at this time. The important thing now is to put the reins on the ambitious man on the opposite side.  "Mr. President, the U.S. government and His Excellency Roosevelt are very concerned about your country's military progress in Central Asia. I hope you will allow our country to send a military observation mission there to better promote cooperation between the two militaries." Roosevelt was very concerned about Central Asia, but  Because of the distance and the blockade between China and the Soviet Union, it is difficult for the United States to intuitively understand what is happening here. In Central Asia, its intelligence work is even worse than that of France, which has failed.  In his view, it was precisely because Britain and the United States were unable to intervene in Central Asia that the Siberian incident occurred, so Jean Hull proposed to send a military observation group to deploy forces here.  On the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to assess China's true strength.  In his eyes, no matter whether it is the Southwest Pacific, Japan, or Persia, they can actually force out the real China. Only the vast and tenacious Soviet army will allow Yang Qiu to use 100% of his strength to see the truest China*  * Team, learn tactics, and help the US military deal with the ferocious German army.

    But Yang Qiu still waved his hand resolutely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Secretary of State. Central Asia is still very chaotic. There are many Soviet Nazi guerrillas active, and we do not have additional power to protect the safety of third-country personnel."

    "do not worry, we have no intention of spying on any intelligence, and we can also protect ourselves. We just want to understand the fighting situation more intuitively.  This will provide you with more urgently needed supplies.  You should know that there is a lot of room for improvement in U.S. manufacturing.  "

    "I need support, but you are currently unable to send an observation group."

    "Why? Mr. President, as an ally, the U.S. government has shown its utmost sincerity and allowed you to use Guam and Wake Island free of charge"

    "Wait a minute! Mr. Secretary, I need to correct your words. We have said many times about Guam and Wake Island. As areas entrusted to you by the League of Nations, you have been unable to protect them and have been used by enemies to attack our country.  Threaten the security of the Pacific and the world, which in itself is a seriously irresponsible act! Only under forced circumstances, I ordered the recapture and paid hundreds of thousands of casualties to recapture it from the enemy. Therefore, our country's trusteeship is in compliance with international law  Yes, there is no leasing or other behavior!¡±

    "Well, we can wait for post-war negotiations on these issues, but the current situation is that the US government needs to evaluate the war. It needs to understand the full situation! The situation is developing in a dangerous direction. If it cannot be fully understood, it will not be like last time.  A real hand in hand.¡±

    "Last time? With all due respect, the current situation is different from the European War. Our country is being attacked by the Nazi state!"

    "But you have the most abundant human resources in the world, and the United States has the most powerful manufacturing industry in the world. Together we can arm the world's largest and most powerful army."

    "Mr. Secretary of State, you haven't understood what war is! War is not a numbers game. I will not send ordinary citizens to the battlefield. Until the enemy at home is completely eliminated, even if I want to. Will Congress and the people agree?"

    "You should not just focus on those around you. If you want to become a world power, you must take the initiative to assume more international responsibilities."

    "We are also major powers and allies, so why doesn't the U.S. government assume the responsibility of declaring war on the Soviet Union? Why does it watch our country bear pressure from both sides alone? Why has the promised assistance not been received for a long time? I believe that the current crisis is not caused by our country.  Yes, it was caused by your hesitation, slowness and caution!"

    "The reason for not declaring war is out of the political need to divide the Soviet Union and Germany. Moreover, Mr. Roosevelt has promised to declare war on the Soviet Union at an appropriate time. On the contrary, you have broken your promise in Cairo and are taking the wrong path."

    "But they are not divided! In fact, the connection is getting closer and closer. This is the statistics of our intelligence services. Last year alone. Stalin provided Germany with 27 ships, 6 million tons of crude oil, 300  Ten thousand tons of iron ore, 300,000 tons of nickel-manganese-chromium ore, 100,000 tons of copper ore, 1 million tons of coal and other large quantities of materials. These materials are rapidly being turned into aircraft, tanks and artillery, and are being continuously sent to Spain, Greece and  Africa, go kill your soldiers and my soldiers! Mr. Secretary, I would like to ask. If I publish this intelligence in your newspaper, what will the families of those dead soldiers and the American people think of President Roosevelt's policy of not declaring war?  What? Since the beginning of the war, one million of our soldiers and officers have sacrificed their lives! Two million people have been injured! No one has the right to accuse us!"

    ""

    The rapid and sharp exchange of words reflects the huge differences and contradictions between China and the United States.  Neither Lu Kai, who was recording the meeting next to Yang Qiu, nor the secretary next to Hull, could have imagined that today's fierce but never-ending conflict would sweep the entire world a few years later.

    When Yang Qiu and Hull refused to give in to each other, and they were fighting fiercely one after another, in distant Central Asia, Liu Mingzhao was speeding up the deployment of troops and generals, preparing to attack Kostanai, the last stronghold of the Soviet army in Central Asia.

    "Colonel, look. My mother, who designed this plane? Why is it so ugly?" Under the setting sun, on the shores of Kushmulun Lake, the engineering soldiers who had worked hard for several days had not yet taken a breath, and they were acting as an airport again.  porter.  In the field airport, which had been expanded several times, the battalion commander pushed Cui Yushan next to him with a surprised look on his face.  "Isn't it just an airplane? No matter how big it is, I can see it" Cui Yushan raised his head impatiently. In the middle of his words, he was startled by three transport planes preparing to land.

    The Air Force has a full range of transport aircraft, including the small Y-7, the bi-wing Y-5, the medium-sized Y-6 and Y-10, and the large four-engine Y-8 and Y-9 (similar to the DC4 and the enlarged Boeing 307), but there has never been one.  It's even uglier than the three in front of me.  Because these three transport planes look like a slightly flattened container with wings attached, and even the tail is made of two support poles.

    This is the new Y-11 medium-range transport aircraft that has not yet been finalized and is called the "Sky Train" by test pilots.  The Y-11 is a medium-range tactical transport aircraft that the Air Force only invited bids for after the war. At that time, the Air Force's requirements were a range of 3,000 kilometers and a maximum take-off weight of 35.?, the conventional load capacity is 6 tons/maximum 10 tons, it can take off and land on dirt runways, and the cargo bay can accommodate a 6*6 Hound wheeled infantry fighting vehicle without modification.  Of all the technical requirements, the most difficult was the cargo hold.  Because everyone knows that the current main low-wing transport aircraft need to dismantle the cargo when transporting large items.  The largest Yunba in China, which uses an open-front hatch, has a maximum load capacity of 15 tons, but its landing gear and cargo compartment are inherently deficient, making it impossible for armored vehicles to drive directly in.

    Faced with a large order that is likely to exceed a thousand aircraft, domestic aviation manufacturing companies racked their brains, and finally Northern Raytheon Company, which has been making no achievements in large aircraft, took the lead.  Northern Raytheon's Y-11 is actually not the best choice, but it is the fastest to be developed.  Except for the risk of using a turboprop engine, the other data are all up to standard.  Although Meteor's C-130-like model is better, war waits for no one, so the Air Force immediately allocated funds to manufacture 7 prototypes for testing, and also signed an intention order for 388 aircraft.  What Cui Yushan saw were three prototypes that had been handed over to the Air Force for testing. It would take half a year for them to be fully equipped.  In addition to the final actual combat test, the 11th transport was also specially used to transport the 210mm towed howitzer.

    No matter how powerful the air force and tanks are, siege warfare is impossible without heavy artillery.  Kostanai is the last stronghold of the Soviet Union in Central Asia. Timoshenko and Lukin will definitely defend it with all their strength. In addition, Kilponos has re-blocked the plateau passage, so the troops are in urgent need of a large number of heavy artillery.  The efficiency of the Y-11 is very high. In the past, four Y-10s were needed to airlift a 210 mm/L35 towed howitzer with a total weight of 15 tons.  Now only some accessories can be removed and transported away at one time, and the efficiency is significantly improved.

    Before the three heavy cannons were dragged out by the soldiers, a fleet of aircraft transporting accessories and shells had already appeared on the horizon.

    Liu Mingzhao¡¯s special plane was also mixed in the fleet and landed quietly on the runway of the bomber next to it
