    Of course, it is not ruled out that Jiangbei is unwilling to provide new aircraft due to its own demand for such long-range bombers, and will instead provide second-hand ones.  Not only are these Il-4 bombers second-hand, a considerable part of them were transferred over after the troops originally equipped with these aircraft were replaced with new aircraft of the same model.

    Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun were very angry about Jiangbei's still shoddy practices, but they made several protests but received no response.  In addition to the previous precedent of Jiangbei breaching the contract and refusing to provide production technology for two engines, Li Yanping, who wanted to retaliate but was powerless, secretly did these tricks.  The Ministry of Military Industry was ordered to restrict Jiangbei experts from accessing new equipment shipped from the United States.

    Yang Zhen, who knew the ins and outs of this incident, would naturally not really hold that person accountable.  Not only will it not be pursued, but in Yang Zhen's view, some necessary means of revenge are still needed.  Otherwise, those people in Jiangbei really think they are powerless against them and do whatever they want.

    After thinking for a while, Yang Zhen said: "Comrade Kovalev, I want to ask you something. When we signed the transfer of aircraft and tank technology last year, how did you agree? Is it a free transfer? But now you refuse to provide it.  Aircraft and tank engine technology.¡±

    "Comrade Kovalev, you are also a soldier. You should understand that if these two technologies are not provided, the equipment will be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal. Without the engine, what will we do when the battlefield losses are huge?  It¡¯s very possible that there won¡¯t even be a chance for repairs.¡±

    "We spent a large sum of foreign exchange, and even transferred our mineral resource development rights to you, even at the expense of being accused of being traitors. In exchange, you lacked less than half of the most critical technology? Do you think we are fools?  , or short-sighted?¡±

    "You keep your hands to do things and don't give us the most critical technology. Is this how you act like a big brother? Is this how you implement the spirit of internationalism? Don't forget, we paid for these things. Is this how you fulfill the agreement? Who will do it in the future?  Do you still dare to do business with you?¡±

    "Although we promised to provide it now, we are asked to give up a large amount of food in exchange. And how did you implement the agreement signed at the beginning of this year? Why did the new aircraft stipulated in the contract become a pile of second-hand goods? The one who violated the agreement in the first place  It wasn't us, it was you who came first. Now you are slapping us back and accusing us of violating the agreement. Isn't it a bit unethical of you to do so?"

    "What you asked for is the current deployment of the Japanese army and the next battle plan. I'm sorry that we can't do anything about it now. You should know the Japanese army's precautions against the Chinese, especially after the failure of last year's battle, the Japanese army has extremely distrust of the puppet Manchukuo army.  , all the control and prevention work has been concealed from them, and our current intelligence sources are also limited.¡±

    "Comrade Kovalev, you should know that the ability to collect intelligence is directly related to the source of intelligence. We don't know much about the mobilization and deployment of the Japanese army now. As for their next plan, especially the navy's  The next step of action is even more unclear.¡±

    "You also know that due to our current situation, our intelligence resources are basically limited to the army. There is no source at all for the Japanese naval intelligence and long-range aviation intelligence that you most want to know. Therefore, I just want to provide you with intelligence,  Now I am determined but powerless.¡±

    "As for the radars you mentioned, Comrade Kovalev, I can tell you responsibly. Not to mention the information we provide you in this regard, even now our access to these radars is restricted by the Americans. All maintenance and  Maintenance technology is in the hands of the Americans and they are not provided to us at all. Even if they want to provide it to you, they have nothing to offer.¡±

    Yang Zhen¡¯s answer made Kovalev blush.  It's just that these matters are Moscow's decisions and cannot be solved by the head of his small intelligence branch.  But after all, he was an intelligence officer, so he was already quite thick-skinned.

    Kovalev, who quickly calmed down, shook his head and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, in any case, we have now agreed to transfer the engine technology to you, and the complete set of drawings has begun to be transferred. For this matter, we can be regarded as  Agreement completed."

    "As for the aircraft, that is because things happen for a reason. Comrade Yang Zhen, our output is not unlimited. Your supply requirements are so tight, and it is difficult for us to meet the needs of the great Soviet Red Army.  A sufficient number of new aircraft will be provided within a short period of time.¡±

    "Comrade Yang Zhen, as the situation on the western border becomes increasingly tense, we also need a large number of long-range bombers. Now, in addition to meeting the needs of our Red Army's replacement, the remaining output is simply not able to complete this task in a short time.  Contract. Taking into account"There is an urgent need, so a batch of them were transferred from our active equipment."  "

    "Although that batch of IL-4 bombers are second-hand goods, most of the equipment is less than a year old. And we have also made certain compensation in other aspects. In addition to the batch of DB-3 bombers you ordered, we  I gave you thirty additional bombers. I think these are enough to make up for the lack of those bombers. Therefore, the things you said about us violating the agreement are not enough to explain your current behavior."

    "Comrade Yang Zhen, even if the Americans strictly control the radar provided to you, why have you imposed strict restrictions on our experts' access to other industrial equipment since the beginning of this month? Isn't this a violation of the agreement? There is also intelligence  Question, Comrade Yang Zhen, I¡¯m sorry, but your explanation also doesn¡¯t satisfy me.¡±

    "The adjustment and replenishment of the Kwantung Army and the activities of the Japanese naval fleet are urgently needed information for the Soviet Union, and are also top priorities related to the security of the Soviet Far East. This is not difficult for you as you have a large amount of intelligence sources against Japan. Yang Zhen  Comrade, I think you are consciously shirking your responsibilities in international relations.

    Seeing that Kovalev did not accept his explanation, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Comrade Kovalev, I think you have said enough. I just arrived, and I am not very clear about many situations.  I need to investigate the restrictions you proposed that we have unilaterally imposed on you.¡±

    "Whether the problem lies with the Americans or with us, we can only know after the results are obtained. Comrade Kovalev, you know that with the introduction of equipment, we have hired a lot of American engineers  personnel. If we do it with too much fanfare, it may be difficult for the Americans to explain it."

    "When I entered the customs, the political commissar and chief of staff of the military region who stayed in the military region and presided over the work had received several protests from the Americans that we violated the agreement and allowed your experts to have access to these new equipment. What we and them did was not possible at least for now.  A temporary action taken to offend the Americans. As for the intelligence and radar matters, I can only explain it so far. Whether you believe it or not is not up to me."

    At this point, Yang Zhen changed the subject and said: "Comrade Kovalev, is your appetite a bit too big? I think the current annual grain output in our base area is as high as that of people across the river.  Neighbors, you know this well. It¡¯s a bit too much for you to be so open-minded and make a fuss about the previous contract.¡±

    "What is food? Food is the foundation of the army. Without sufficient food supply, a powerful army will be nothing but a puddle of loose sand. You can get 150,000 tons of wheat with just one mouthful. Don't you know that our people also need a large amount of food?  You should know what these 150,000 tons of wheat mean to us?"

    "You are taking things that should have been given to us and forcing us to meet your demands. But you don't care about our life or death. What is this? Without food, how can we fight against the Japanese army? Comrade Kovalev,  If we fail, your security in the east may return to the previous situation. I think this will be much more stressful for you than transporting food from the west to the Far East.¡±

    "Also, you can open your mouths for 150,000 tons of wheat a year. Don't you know that grain production is directly related to the weather? Once we provide according to the quantity, if there is any natural disaster this year, then the entire base area will be affected.  Everyone will be hungry.¡±

    Yang Zhen¡¯s words were very direct and there was no cover-up at all.  For Kovalev, he did not feel embarrassed.  This decision was made by the Far East Military District Headquarters and the Far East District Party Committee.  The entire Far East region has a sparse population and harsh climate, and was not originally a food-producing area.

    The entire population and hundreds of thousands of garrisons in the Far East require a large amount of food every year.  At present, almost all of this food is provided by agricultural regions in the west.  This is undoubtedly a considerable pressure for the Far East, which has only one Trans-Siberian Railway connected to the western hinterland.

    What¡¯s more, this railway transports not only food, but also other daily necessities and a large number of equipment and personnel.  If it were not for the coal mining rights in the North Manchuria region, the coal needed in the entire Far East would also have to be transported thousands of miles from the west.  All the required grain was shipped from the west, which took up too much shipping capacity.

    In order to improve the food supply situation in the Far East, after investigating the food output of the areas under the jurisdiction of the Anti-Japanese Federation, especially the production and construction corps formed by it last year.  After several studies, the Military Commission of the Far East Military Region and the Party Committee of the Far East Region finally negotiated with Moscow to collect some grain and livestock products from the Anti-League base areas every year to solve the food problem in the Far East Region.

    However, considering that the amount of food was too large, it could easily cause a backlash from the Anti-Union side, so after communicating with Moscow,Finally, the technologies for equipping engines for MiG-3 fighter jets and T-26 tanks, which were no longer planned to be provided, were handed over to the Anti-Japanese Alliance in exchange.

    Although it was a bit unethical to do so, for the sake of the strategic security of food supply in the Far East, Kovalev did not feel that there was anything wrong with the Far East District Party Committee's doing so.  After all, for other aspects, the interests of the Soviet Union and the food security of hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Far East are above all else.  On this point, Kovalev did not disagree with the Military Council of the Far Eastern Military District
