Chapter 86 Intelligence (first update, please collect)
  Italy is also an ally.

However, this ally was basically disarmed. In addition to the millions of Italian troops who surrendered to the German army and were reorganized by the German army into its puppet government, the Salo Republic and the army. The hundreds of thousands of Italian troops loyal to the royal family in the south were effectively disarmed by the end of 43.

Their planes were grounded at the airport and their weapons sealed in warehouses.

What about national security?
  Well, since we are allies, let me, Daying and Damei, do the work for you.

Faced with this situation, Prime Minister Badoglio of the Kingdom of Italy directly announced demobilization in order to relieve the government's financial pressure. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of Italian soldiers were finally demobilized.

It has to be said that the subsequent collapse of the Kingdom of Italy was directly related to the matter handled by Badoglio, a great clever man.

The demobilized People's Liberation Army also included thousands of pilots, and many of these pilots fled to the south from northern airports on orders after Italy surrendered. But they never expected that they would be abandoned by the king overnight.

When he was in Italy, Li Yian often saw Italian soldiers on the streets who had lost their jobs and had nowhere to go and no pay.

When I learned that there was a shortage of pilots in the country, I naturally made this suggestion.

"Italian pilot?"

Uncle Guo thought for a while and said.

"Can you do it?"

"It's possible, but we're not letting them fight anyway. If spaghetti can't fight, can it still be possible to fly a transport plane?"

Li Yian continued.

"We can hire them in the name of domestic airlines and use them to fly transport planes. Didn't Marshall say that as long as there are pilots, he will provide planes? If he provides planes, we can transport as much supplies as possible to the country. , if you don’t give it, you can expose the Americans.”

Uncle Guo couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes changed when he saw Li Yian. He thought for a moment and then said.

"Well, in this case, I will try to contact the country. If... well, there should be no problem!"

Facts have proved that there is absolutely no problem in this matter in China. After all, for the country that is in urgent need of weapons and ammunition, as long as the weapons and equipment can be transported in, let alone Italian pilots, even Japanese pilots are willing to hire them. .

After all, in 44, China was almost at the end of its rope.

As for Marshall, he was telling the truth - the United States does have planes, but there are not enough pilots. At U.S. airports, there are thousands of C46 aircraft waiting for pilots - these transport aircraft known as "flying coffins" , has always been unpopular with the military, was assigned to the second line and was left out in the cold, and even issued an order prohibiting this type of aircraft from participating in airdrop operations. But it is the best choice for flying over the hump and the workhorse on the hump route. Only the C-46 can handle the wide range of adverse conditions faced on the "Hump Route" - unpredictable weather, heavy cargo loads, mountainous terrain, simple facilities and frequently flooded airports.

With pilots, these unpopular transport aircraft can play their role. As for the "flying coffins", it is Italians who die anyway, as long as they are not Americans. Even in the eyes of Marshall and others, hiring Italian pilots is a good thing to reduce the casualties of American pilots.

As a result, just half a month later, more than [-] Italian pilots and ground staff took Allied planes to India in the name of employees of China Airlines and appeared at the Assam airport.

Although the Italians are not good at fighting, as Li Yian said, they are still competent at flying transport planes. To a certain extent, those Italian pilots are even more adaptable to the "hump route" environment than American pilots - because of their flight training , there are a large number of subjects flying over the Alps.

It is thanks to the efforts of these pilots that the transportation volume of the "Hump Route" increased by more than 60% in just one month, exceeding the 20000-ton mark. Among them, 8000 tons were donated by Li Yian.

“首批运回国的物资，包括七九步枪28000支，四二型两用机枪1200支，1.45cmPzB783(R)型反坦克枪4760支，7.62cm FK 288/1（r）野战炮120门，12cmGranatwerfer378(r)迫击炮320门……”

After reading the report, Laurette specifically said to Li Yian. "Mr. Li, the country has begun to add these weapons to the elite units on the front line. With these advanced weapons and equipment, frontline soldiers can shed less blood and regain lost ground as soon as possible."

Putting the report away, Laurette couldn't help but look up and down at the man in front of her. He was very young and handsome. Looking at him would even make people's hearts beat faster.

But... this man is very carefree. He seems to be living with that Hollywood female star.

Yes, he is a troublesome man.

For Laurette, who was only seventeen years old, there seemed to be no problem with this judgment.

"I hope so."

Li Yian nodded, his expression still looking a little solemn. He took a look at the calendar and saw that it was February 2th. Counting the time, there was not much time left.

"By the way, Miss Laurette, please tell Chairman Song that I have learned through some channels that the Japanese are trying to launch a new round of offensive to open up the mainland's transportation lines. They will mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack at the same time. Guangxi and Henan will launch attacks, and I hope the country can prepare early."

Thinking of the series of impacts brought about by the failure of the "Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi", Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little confused. He didn't know if these weapons could change anything, but doing something was better than not doing anything.

Can the information disclosed now help the country prepare early?
  Li Yi'an didn't know, but there wasn't much he could do. He could only rely on the liaison secretary in front of him to help tell the information to the uncle. He hoped that the country could make early preparations and strengthen the defense forces of the two places.

"Ah, is it true?"

Laurette said in surprise.

"Yes, tell Director Song that the information was provided by my friends in Europe."

Looking up at the girl in front of him who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, Li Yian smiled.

"He understands."

Of course he understood. After all, the uncle had also been curious about why the fleet could sail across the Atlantic without any danger. Although Li Yian did not specify it clearly, the uncle had made up a lot of things in his mind.

Some things are common all over the world. Among the three virtues, there are many people like Uncle Guo.

"Okay, I understand, is there anything else?"

After making sure there was nothing else to do, the girl stood up and left.

When the door closed, he looked at the calendar again. Li Yian frowned slightly, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the back of the chair and muttered to himself.

"I hope it can have some effect..."

At this moment, the piercing sound of the phone rang. He stood up and took the phone. The sound of another call made his face suddenly change and he said urgently.

"How could this happen? Are you okay?"
