Chapter 162 Cooperation with the Germans
"Hello, Mr. Ribbent, thank you for your hard work!"
In a secluded room in Yan'an, Zhao Tianyang greeted the high-nosed German in front of him.
"Hello, you must be Zhao Tianyang, Section Chief Zhao!"
Ribbent smiled and said, "I heard from them that they have to talk to you about the 107 rocket launcher?"
"That's right!"
Zhao Tianyang nodded simply: "Without my nod, no one can give you the information of the 107 rocket launcher!"
"That's it!"
Ribbent said, "In that case, let's talk about the terms!"
"no problem."
Zhao Tianyang took out a record sheet and said, "As long as you are willing to assist with some projects, we can give you a complete set of information on the 107 rocket launcher."
"Assist the machine tool factory, engine factory, artillery factory, tank factory?"
Ribbent looked at Zhao Tianyang in disbelief: "Are you crazy? How can we agree to these requests?"
"I admit that the request is a bit excessive!"
Zhao Tianyang agreed with a look of approval on his face.
"Then you still have the nerve to take this thing out?"
Ribbent waved the record sheet speechlessly.
"Although it's excessive, you guys also need the 107 rocket launcher, right?"
Zhao Tianyang seemed to be standing in Ribbent's perspective and analyzed: "Although you can now produce powerful weapons such as cannons, tanks, and airplanes."
"But energy has always been your weakness. You never know when your tanks might not be able to move anymore."
"When the time comes, you will need a weapon that is strong enough to deal with the enemy's fortresses and tanks."
"Our 107 rocket launcher is simple to manufacture, cheap, easy to transport, and powerful enough. Doesn't this just meet your requirements?"
"That won't work either. Your request is too much. I can only agree to provide assistance to two factories at most."
Ribbent said helplessly.
"A word is settled!"
Zhao Tianyang said happily: "However, I have to choose between these two factories myself!"
"Forehead......."
Ribbent felt that he was being tricked, but out of his Aryan pride, he could only agree.
"Yes, but the level of the factory we provide may not be very high. We also need machines in our country to produce various weapons and equipment."
"These are all easy to talk about."
Zhao Tianyang smiled and said, "Then let's choose these two factories, the machine tool factory and the cannon factory!"
"The requirements for the machine tool factory are to be able to produce ordinary lathes, radial drilling machines, horizontal boring machines, and various machine tool accessories."
"At the same time, the accuracy of machine tools cannot be much lower than that of your country."
"The cannon factory is required to be able to produce cannons with a caliber of 20mm to 100mm. Most importantly, it is required to be able to produce your Type 37 88mm anti-aircraft guns."
"This is impossible!"
Ribbent refused, saying that he could accept the requests from the machine tool factory and the cannon factory in front.
After all, Zhao Tianyang’s requirements were very simple. They only needed to provide some machines, some information, and send one or two engineers.
But the subsequent request for the Type 37 88mm anti-aircraft gun was a bit excessive and there was no way he would agree to it.
"You want the 107 rocket launcher, besides for its performance."
"In fact, the main purpose is to see if we can use it to invent a missile with a longer range!"
Zhao Tianyang looked at Ribbent leisurely: "Although the British have been in poor condition in recent years, their air force and navy are no joke."
"Without a weapon with a long range, large weapons, and high accuracy, it will not be easy for you to cross the English Channel."
"So what?"
Ribbent frowned and said, "Although your 107 rocket launcher is of great research value, to put it bluntly, it is just a short-range rocket launcher."
"What if I say I can develop a missile with high precision and long range?"
"Snapped!"
What Zhao Tianyang said made Ribbent stand up in dismay: "Is what you said true or false?"
He was very skeptical. He wondered how a small Communist Party could possibly manufacture missiles, which were the most advanced weapons in the world.
"of course it's true."
Zhao Tianyang pointed to his head and said, "Although our conditions are not good."
"But I have the most advanced missile design in my mind, I just don't have the conditions to research it."
"Who doesn't know how to brag?"
Ribbent scoffed.
He did not believe that a yellow man in the far east could produce advanced missiles, even if this person was lucky enough to develop the 107 rocket launcher.
"How about this!"
Zhao Tianyang pondered for a moment and said, "We will still exchange the 107 rocket launchers with the artillery factory and the machine tool factory as usual."
"After signing the contract tomorrow, I will give you an extra copy of the information."
"Take this information to your missile expert, Mr. Dornberg, and you will know whether what I said is true or false."
"If I give you the information and it proves what I said is true, then next time you come, remember to bring the complete set of information about the 88 gun."
"That thing is the stepping stone for our next cooperation."
Although I doubt what Zhao Tianyang said, for now, there is nothing wrong with this plan.
"Okay, I agree!"
Ribbente nodded.
The next day, Zhao Tianyang signed a cooperation contract with Ribbente on behalf of the Central Committee, and also handed him a sample of the 107 rocket launcher and a complete set of information.
Of course, he also wrote a "V2 Missile Research Plan" overnight.
"V2 missile?"
Ribbent accepted the information with doubt and left Yan'an with heavy thoughts.

"Machine tool factory, artillery factory."
In the room, the elegant man was very happy looking at the contents of the contract.
"Thank you for your hard work, Section Chief Zhao. I thought we could trade two sets of rifles and the bullet production line would be a great success."
"I didn't expect you to get them to agree to help the machine tool factory and the artillery factory. That's amazing!"
"Haha, that's nothing!"
Zhao Tianyang said calmly: "Although these two factories are very important to us, they are just that in the eyes of the Germans."
"They can easily build dozens of them."
"It doesn't matter to them, but it's different for us."
The elegant man smiled and said, "No matter what, you have done a great deed this time. I will ask for credit for you!"
"How can that be so embarrassing~!"
Zhao Tianyang scratched his head embarrassedly: "By the way, how is that Soviet guy?"
"I heard that the one coming is a general?"
"Yes."
The elegant man nodded and said, "He was a major general. His brain wasn't working very well. He was fooled by us and went back."
"That's it!"
Zhao Tianyang wondered, "Will there be trouble later?"
"will not."
The elegant man shook his head: "They just want to send a signal about who is the boss. We just need to lower our posture in the future."
"That Major General named Stanford may not have an easy life when he returns!"
"It's what he deserves. Who told him to be so arrogant? I heard he even scolded a lot of us."
Zhao Tianyang said disdainfully.
