War of Resistance: Wipe out a Japanese infantry battalion at the start.

Major General Yuan left with everyone's expectations, but he did not send a telegram immediately.

Now that he understood the Air Force's thinking, he had a clear idea in his mind.

But I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't ask for the specific details.

So he called Uncle Zhao Wu.

"General Zhao, I'd like to ask how much our new aircraft can be sold for?" Major General Yuan didn't waste any words and asked directly after the call was connected.

"We produce this type of aircraft ourselves and can provide you with three to five squadrons, or about 50 aircraft."

After hearing what Major General Yuan said, Uncle Zhao Wu didn't waste any words and explained with a smile.

Uncle Zhao Wu already knew about the P-40N fighter planes and knew that they were 200 sets of aircraft parts. In addition to selling a batch of these aircraft to the government, the rest were intended for their own use.

"Self-produced? 50?"

As soon as Uncle Zhao Wu said this, Major General Yuan was silenced.

"Damn it! We're all Chinese, so why is Chu Feng so weird? He can actually produce such an advanced aircraft himself?"

He naturally wouldn't say this out loud. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "General Zhao, I wonder how much this aircraft costs? When can we expect to receive the new aircraft after we place the order?"

Although he didn't understand why Chu Feng and his team had developed so quickly, Major General Yuan still remained loyal to his duties and did not forget his job.

"The cost of each aircraft is $80,000, and we charge an extra $20,000 per aircraft to cover our research and development expenses."

Hearing Major General Yuan's question, Uncle Zhao didn't waste any words and said that the prices had already been set.

One aircraft costs $100,000, which is very expensive. But with the same amount of money, you can't buy such an advanced fighter jet. Those that are one generation behind this one cost $60,000 to $70,000.

"As for the first batch of aircraft to be delivered, we will have to wait three months."

"We need to equip ourselves with a batch of this type of aircraft before we can supply it to the government."

"If the government takes all 50 aircraft, we will deliver them in three batches. The first batch will be in three months, with a total of 18 aircraft for two squadrons."

"The second batch will be postponed for two months, with 22 aircraft to be delivered. The last batch will be postponed for another two months, with the remaining 10 aircraft to be delivered." Uncle Zhao's words were half true and half false.

The truth is, the delivery time is real. After all, the parts that have just arrived need to be put into production lines and workers need to become proficient before they can be put into final assembly.

The lie is that it doesn't take that long to debug the final assembly line. It is entirely possible to build a final assembly line next to the P-47 fighter. It can be completed in one and a half months at most and put into production in two months.

"Row!"

"Then I'll ask for instructions."

After getting the information he wanted, Major General Yuan didn't waste any words. He exchanged a few words with Uncle Zhao Wu and then hung up the phone.

"$10 a piece!"

After hanging up the phone, Major General Yuan sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

"As expected, good things are expensive. For the price of one plane, you can buy two other planes."

"50 planes, that's $500 million."

"That's 2000 million French francs."

"Those 140 ordinary aircraft, including the bombers, come out to $60,000 each, which equals $8.4 million."

"Including aerial bombs, machine gun ammunition, etc., the total cost is $1600 million, or 6400 million French francs."

"I only have 40 million French francs in my hand now, and the gap is 24 million French francs." When he said this, Major General Yuan frowned even deeper.

Budget exceeded!

And it’s not just an ordinary excess.

Although he knew that the government attached great importance to this air force procurement, he didn't know whether the government would agree to the huge increase.

"Count it!"

After much deliberation, Major General Yuan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, saying, "Why the hell should I care about this? I'll just report it. As for how it's decided, that's the government's business."

After saying this, he walked quickly out to the next room and said to the telegraph operator he brought with him, "Send a telegram to the temporary capital."

As he spoke, he quickly wrote down what he wanted to say on a piece of paper and handed it to the telegraph operator.

The telegraph operator took it and got to work quickly without any nonsense. With the sound of radio beeps, the telegram flew to the temporary capital through the radio waves.

Temporary capital!

The telegram soon arrived at the government.

"Major General Yuan's telegram!"

The adjutant came in with a telegram and said.

"Read!"

Guo Fu said without even raising his head when he heard this.

"Today's negotiations went smoothly. Chu Feng didn't raise the price."

"But there was an emergency. Chu Feng provided us with a batch of new aircraft, about 50 or so, each costing $10."

"But its combat effectiveness is so strong that it has been recognized by the Air Force. They said that if we had a squadron of these aircraft in an air battle three days ago, we could have defeated the Japanese air force with zero casualties."

"But we have to wait for the new aircraft. The first batch will be delivered in three months, and the rest will be delivered by the beginning of next year."

"This special situation has resulted in a budget shortfall of 2400 million yuan. I'm a bit hesitant and don't know what to do. I'd like the government to make the decision."

The telegram was not long, but it revealed key information. The Kuomintang's eyes widened suddenly. Their focus was that Chu Feng had obtained equipment and given them new aircraft.

Moreover, once equipped with new aircraft, the victory three days ago will be repeated.

For the National Government, it now needs a victory to boost morale, and this victory should be achieved by its own troops.

Now the new aircraft brought him such good news: as long as there were new aircraft, there would be great victory.

As for the first batch to be delivered three months later, that is not a problem. As long as it can give him 100% certainty of victory, he will have absolutely no problem.

But before the government could speak, someone on the side said, "What? So expensive?"

"Is Chu Feng still a Chinese? How can he sell it for so much?"

"Insatiable!"

"As for airplanes, as long as they can fly, what's the point of them being new or not?"

"We don't buy such expensive planes."

"Darling, I asked my brother and the others to contact the United States. That Hawk 2 aircraft is pretty good. Let's buy it!"

"Chu Feng's plane, he can keep it for himself!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Minister of State frowned and exclaimed, "Womanly compassion! Womanly compassion!"

"How long has it been since I bought it from the United States?"

"We can wait, but can the soldiers wait?"

"I'm under so much pressure right now. I can't wait for half a year, even a year!" At this point, the government said directly: "Send a telegram to Major General Yuan and tell them not to worry about the funding issue."

"I want those ordinary planes, and I also want those 50 advanced planes."

"Don't hesitate, eat it all and I'll pay you more!"
