Chapter 315 This is not right
Lin Shubing frowned. Although these special forces soldiers knew some simple ship driving skills, they were only used in emergencies.
Real ship command requires continuous accumulation, including navigation knowledge, command, etc., especially aircraft carrier command, which also involves carrier-based aircraft and is more complicated.
It cannot be accomplished overnight. It requires long-term training to grow into a qualified sailor and ship commander.
"Mengzi, if we want to bring these aircraft carriers, battleships and cruisers back from Country M next year, I'm afraid we can only select them from the existing Chinese navy, but those are all from Chongqing!"
Wang Meng considered everything carefully and realized that the current situation was just as Lin Shubing had said. The only way out was to find a solution within the existing Chongqing Navy.
"Then poach them, but if we want to poach the entire organization, and the time is so tight, I'm afraid we can only do it through official procedures."
Li Yunlong crossed his arms over his chest, feeling a little worried.
"Will the one from Chongqing agree? They must be regretting it now that they let Lv Tianlong and Dai Anlan go last time!"
Zhao Gang also echoed.
"That's right. If it doesn't work, can we exchange it for weapons, equipment and penicillin?"
Wang Meng nodded. In fact, even if there was no navy, Wang Meng would still go to Chongqing to discuss the Burma Road.
One was the one who had promised Chongqing to assist the Expeditionary Force in opening up the Burma Road and provide air fire support.
Second, the two aircraft production lines are waiting to be transported back via the Burma Road!
Third, after the aircraft carrier fleet is purchased, it is impossible to sail along the Yellow River to Pingshun, right? There must be an outlet to the sea, and doesn’t Yunnan have an outlet to the sea?
wrong!
To be specific, although Yunnan does not have it now, wouldn’t it be enough to move Yunnan’s border to the seaside?
Therefore, Wang Meng decided to assist the expeditionary force in invading Myanmar and taking over the seaport as their home port!
"Old Li, didn't the guy from Chongqing ask us to help the expeditionary army enter Burma last time? This time, we can use it as a condition to negotiate with him!"
"Can he agree?"
"It should be possible. After all, he needs our air force and a strong army! Besides, their navy is probably only a few small sampans left now, so why not do them a favor!"
Li Yunlong nodded. Although he didn't know much about the role of the navy, he knew Wang Meng must have his reasons for putting so much effort into it.
Wang Meng immediately sent a telegram to Chongqing without stopping, saying that he would meet with Peanut tomorrow on behalf of the Southern Shanxi Independent Column to discuss the details of assisting the expeditionary force to enter Burma.
"Tell Chongqing that I want to meet their naval commander, Chen Shaokuan!"
Early the next morning, Wang Meng boarded a C-54 transport plane, carrying three transport planes' worth of supplies, and flew toward Chongqing under the escort of ten F6F Hellcats.
When we arrived at Chongqing Airport, we saw huge crowds of people before we even landed.
When Wang Meng got off the plane, he couldn't open his eyes because of the flashing of dozens of cameras, and there were reporters everywhere.
"Chief of Staff Wang, are you here on behalf of the Independent Column to discuss cooperation? Or do you have other intentions?"
"Chief of Staff Wang, do you want to belong to the Chongqing government?"
"Chief of Staff Wang, will you hand over the command of the army to Chongqing?"
Wang Meng sneered in his heart. It seemed that Peanut had been busy all night. He wanted to create public opinion and make everyone think that the independent column was going to submit to him?
The abacus makes such a loud noise!
Wang Meng stood still and, despite the obstruction of the Chongqing officials who came to greet him, simply held a small press conference.
"My dear journalist friends, I am here to discuss cooperation with the Chongqing government. There is no question of surrender or not! Our independent column will remain relatively independent. However, we are absolutely unambiguous about fighting the Japanese devils. Please supervise us!"
Wang Meng answered with neither arrogance nor servility, completely exposing Chongqing's true face and clarifying the facts for those confused reporters.
Under the embarrassed gazes of Chongqing officials, Wang Meng and his guard platoon got on the prepared jeep and drove directly to the official residence halfway up the mountain.
After entering the residence, Wang Meng saw Peanut sitting on the sofa.
"Chief of Staff Wang, I have been looking forward to seeing you here for so long!"
"Sir, the last time we met was last time. I didn't expect that such a long time has passed."
Peanut paused, as if thinking about the meaning of such a long sentence.
"Hurry up and take your seat. Are there no Japanese planes harassing us along the way?"
Wang Meng sat on the sofa without any hesitation and crossed his legs.
"Those Japanese lousy planes still want to come and cause trouble? Dream on! If they dare to come, I will knock them down one by one!"
"Hahaha, Chief of Staff Wang is indeed a hero! I think Commander Li is no less capable. This time, the entire army and air force must be mobilized!"
When Wang Meng heard this, he thought, isn’t this simply a case of flattery?
"We haven't even started discussing the details of this cooperation yet. Why are we all mobilized?"
Peanut was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Wang Meng to be so disrespectful to him.
“It’s just a hope of mine!”
"Let's get back to the point. This time I can dispatch a fighter squadron of thirty planes and a bomber squadron of twenty bombers. As for the ground forces, it's not easy for us to travel such a long distance. Prepare a reconnaissance company to provide guidance to the first aircraft!"
Peanut didn't expect Wang Meng to be so generous and spend two squadrons at once, but his appetite was far more than that.
"Chief of Staff Wang, the ground army can be handed over to our expeditionary force, but the enemy's aircraft are too powerful. I'm worried that you don't have enough fighters! You can't guarantee the safety of the bombers and the ground army."
Wang Meng looked at Peanuts with a smile but said nothing.
Peanut waited for a long time, but Wang Meng didn't say anything, so he continued talking.
"Chief of Staff Wang, can we add another fighter squadron? I think it is very necessary!"
"It's not impossible... But, did you call the person I wanted to see yesterday?"
Peanut suddenly remembered this matter and pointed to the attendant room outside the door.
"Oh, you mean Houfu? I've asked him to wait in the attendant's room. What do you want to see him for?"
"Sir, let's get straight to the point. I set up a ship research institute some time ago, but I haven't found the right talent. So I want you to reluctantly lend me General Chen Shaokuan for three to five years, as well as other naval officers and soldiers."
Peanut laughed meaningfully twice. Ever since Lu Tianlong, Dai Anlan and a group of professors and scholars were poached, he knew that Wang Meng definitely wanted to poach Chen Shaokuan, and it was definitely not as simple as questioning him.
“That’s not right.”
