In addition to advanced wireless communication technology, Jiangdong's preparations for the Soviets this time are mainly divided into three categories: firearms, fighter planes, and tanks.

Just like Germany, these three types of things are things that the Soviet Union will be able to develop on its own in the near future.

In terms of firearms, the ones prepared are Bobosha submachine guns and SG43 "Golyunov" heavy machine guns.

Germany's MP40 was released ahead of schedule, so the Soviet Union's Bobosha could not lag behind for too long and should maintain a balance.

As for the SG43 "Golyunov" heavy machine gun, in the original history, this gun would be successfully developed and mass-produced in 1943 to replace the old Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun.

In the fight against Plan Barbarossa, the shortcomings of the Soviet Maxim water-cooled heavy machine gun were undoubtedly exposed. This heavy machine gun was too bulky and slow to fire compared to the German mg34, and could not meet the needs of the Soviet Red Army on the front line.

.

Now Germany not only has mg34, but also mg42. In order to prevent the Soviet Union from being mistreated, Jiangdong had no choice but to let these weapons and equipment come out in advance.

The same reason applies to aircraft and tanks.

In terms of fighter jets, Kodong has prepared two types, a fighter jet and a multi-purpose aircraft, namely the Yak-1 fighter jet and the An-2 multi-purpose aircraft.

There are also two types of tanks, t60 and is-2!

Because the T34 was already developed by the Soviets, Jiangdong had no choice but to look for other alternatives.

The T60 has extremely high maneuverability advantages when fighting on snow and forest land. History has proven that the Soviet military will not reject this tank.

The is-2 is specially designed to balance the Tiger tanks equipped by the German army.

In short, these three types of equipment are the most urgent and wanted things for the Soviet Red Army at the moment.

As long as this news is sent back to the Soviet Union, there is no reason why this deal cannot be completed.

Belinsky lay greedily on the pile of design drawings. Looking at him, he wanted to turn into smoke and get in.

Grachev and Khachanov helped Belinsky, and they carefully organized the various drawings for fear of confusing them.

"They can really make so many things." Xie Chengrui looked at these three old fools and asked Jiang Dong.

"Alas..." Jiang Dong sighed,

"The Manchus misled the country. After the Revolution of 1911, there were many years of warlord fighting. Our country had too little time to stabilize, and the industrial system was too weak. If we hadn't been able to build it ourselves, I wouldn't have been able to give away any of these treasures.

Even though the Soviet Union was only established not long ago, this alliance is good at giving full play to people's subjective initiative. Although these six types of equipment appear to be complicated and numerous in quantity, these old fools can create test samples within two or three months.

Testing can be completed and mass production can begin within half a year.

We must develop as soon as possible, otherwise we will fall behind too much.

In order to achieve this goal, I can only find a way to make them both lose."

Xie Chengrui was startled for a moment,

"Both sides will suffer losses, are you talking about Germany and the Soviet Union?"

"Shh!"

Jiang Dong made a gesture of silence.

After about an hour, the three old guys crawled out of the pile of drawings.

The most excited among the three was Belinsky. He was a military industry expert and could understand almost all of these drawings.

Grachev and Khachanov saw the value of these drawings just from Belinsky's reaction. They suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts and prepared to formally start negotiations.

Jiang Dong asked the orderly to refill the tea for the three of them, and then said after they calmed down:

"Three of you, you have finished reading what you should see. The things I brought out this time are enough and of high enough value. You have no objection to this, right?"

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"The reason why we took it out at once is because the Soviet Union does not have much time, and my time is also very tight. We are all happy people. How about finalizing the affairs for the next two years at once?"

Grachev, who had the highest status among the three, took a sip of tea and asked:

"In addition to these, have you designed other advanced equipment?"

"Of course!" Jiang Dong did not deny it.

"How is this done? It is impossible for you to develop so many things by yourself. China does not have high-end universities or top research talents. This is really unbelievable."

Jiang Dong pointed at the teacup and said with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Minister, please do not underestimate the heritage of a country with five thousand years of civilization."

"The ancient East is really still so mysterious." Unable to interpret Jiang Dong's words, Grachev could only sigh,

"The great Soviets want these things. What do you want to exchange them for?"

Jiang Dong stretched out his right hand, and Xie Chengrui handed a large piece of paper to his hand.

"It's all about this. This is my most basic requirement. Every point must be met, otherwise the transaction will..."

Jiangdong spread the paper flatly on the table and pushed it towards Grachev.

The three old men came together to look at it and saw that the paper was filled with Chinese and Russian characters.

"Is this a transaction contract?" Khachanov looked at Jiangdong in disbelief.

"Yes, I am not fully prepared for this transaction. Take a good look at it. If you have no objections, you can sign it."

Jiangdong did not give the Soviet side a chance to bargain and wrote the contract directly.

Khachanov didn't know what to say and could only immerse himself in reading the contract with the other two people.

"Equipment, experts and skilled workers for coal mining, mining, oil extraction, steelmaking, ironmaking, oil refining..." Grachev read the contents of the contract softly,

"Steel plants, oil refineries, tractor manufacturing plants...

Tank School, Aviation School and supporting instructors and equipment..."

After reading the contract, most of Grachev's excitement dissipated.

"You want the great Soviet to help you build an industrial foundation and train professional soldiers..."

Jiang Dong nodded without any embarrassment,

"Equipment and talent are what I need most right now, and these things are nothing to you.

How is it? Is this contract fair?"

Xie Chengrui also looked at Grachev. As long as the other party can agree, the future development of Southeast Shanxi will take many fewer detours.

"The contract also says that our country's experts and technical workers must train China's own experts and technical workers before they can leave. I just calculated that if your contract is implemented, our country will have to provide at least 1,000 experts and technical workers.

Workers, and they have to stay in China for at least three years." Grachev was about to struggle, and he waved his hand.

"We can provide 1,000 skilled workers and experts, but three years is too long, a year and a half at most. Even these workers won't be able to stay for too long."

"The wages I can pay are twice as high as those in your country. Three years is already very short and cannot be shortened any further."

Jiangdong's attitude was very tough, so Grachev had to skip this point for the time being.

"There are no problems with tanks, steelmaking, oil refining, and other factories, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to establish an aviation school.

Pilot training is an extremely complex and lengthy process. In addition, both fighter jets and training aircraft require regular maintenance, requiring professional talents and supporting professional infrastructure.

General, if you insist on establishing an aviation school, I'm afraid it will take five years to train the first pilot."

Grachev shrugged, indicating that he was telling the truth and that there was nothing he could do about it.

Jiang Dong quietly translated Grachev's words to Xie Chengrui.

You can buy an airplane with money, but you can't buy a pilot with money. Jiangdong can't wait for five years anyway. He can't wait for three years.

"What they said seems to be the truth. It took the National Army more than ten years to build up the air force." Xie Chengrui said in a low voice,

"What now?"

Jiang Dong pondered for more than ten seconds,

"Let's do this. I will send 200 young people to study at your country's aviation school. They should be able to complete their studies within two years.

Your country has used the past two years to help us build an aviation school and various supporting facilities, so that when our students come back after completing their studies, they can go back to the new school to teach the next batch of students."

Jiangdong's mind moved quickly. This proposal meant that he would have 200 pilots and a brand new aviation school in two years.

Belinsky looked at Grachev nervously. He really wanted those design drawings, but he had no decision-making power on this transaction.

Khachanov is the general military adviser of the Soviet Union in China. He does not dare to interfere in such matters. The decision can only be made by people from Moscow.

"This proposal is good, but I can't agree to it immediately. I must ask Moscow for instructions." Grachev said.

The Soviet Union has completed two five-year plans, and they can provide the industrial equipment Jiangdong needs, but Grachev wants to minimize what he has to pay as much as possible.

But they didn't have the initiative in this negotiation from the beginning, because what Jiangdong came up with was too tempting.

"Are there any objections to the other contents of the contract?" Jiang Dong asked in a relaxed tone.

Grachev read the contract from beginning to end again, then shook his head, "Give us one day, I need to wait for Moscow's reply."

"No problem!" The three of them definitely couldn't decide on such a big matter. Jiang Dong pointed to the drawings on the table and said,

"These things cannot be given to you before the contract is signed.

Lao Xie, put our treasure away."
