"Comrade Manturov, rest assured, now Novosibirsk's economy and people's livelihood are developing very well. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info" Chernenko's answer was rather general, only a general one.

Manturov already knew that Novosibirsk's economy and people's livelihood had developed and improved, but what kind of improvement had been made, and how Chernenko had improved, was the question he was concerned about.

Chernenko and Manturov have worked together "for many years" and have known Manturov for a long time. Before the old boss could speak, he asked, "What kind of development has you got?" He has already begun to tell the details of the situation.

"In terms of people's livelihood, the housing supply in Novosibirsk has already met the demand, every family in the city has its own apartment, and the supply of clothing, food, daily necessities and other materials is enough to meet the demand.

In agriculture, after more than a year of hard work, we have succeeded in reclaiming a large amount of land, established more than 500 large-scale collective farms, achieved a high degree of agricultural mechanization, and increased grain production by 10 percent.

On the industrial side, with the completion of a number of factories, the industrial output value of Novosibirsk has also increased significantly......"

Chernenko reported his achievements to his "superiors" intact. In general, Chernenko inherited Manturov's governing philosophy and policy, and largely continued Manturov's plans and policies during his tenure. Such a result was expected by him.

Now that Novosibirsk has increased its grain production, the Soviet Union's historical food supply crunch and its dependence on foreign food aid can be partially alleviated.

In addition, the big granary of Ukraine has not completely fallen into the hands of the German army, and the western regions of Russia, the eastern regions of Russia, and the areas east of the old border of Ukraine have not been damaged by the war, and it is believed that the Soviet Union's food supply can barely meet domestic demand.

"Very well, Comrade Chernenko," Manturov immediately showed a satisfied smile after listening to Chernenko's report, "the development of Novosibirsk in the future will depend on you." ”

"In fact, Novosibirsk has been able to develop to the scale it is today, thanks to the foundation you laid when you were in office. What I'm doing now is just continuing your policy and sticking to your original governance policy, and it's not a big deal. ”

"Comrade Chernenko, you complimented. What do I do? "At this time, Manturov, who has always been modest, began to belittle himself again." When I was in Novosibirsk, I was just thinking about doing my duty as a Communist Party member, striving to build socialism and serve the people, and in fact, I could have made the same achievements as another responsible Communist Party member. ”

"Comrade Manturov, you said this again. Our party does not lack responsible Communist Party members, but there are not many Party members like you who are capable, far-sighted, and wise. It would have been difficult for anyone else to achieve such a feat in Novosibirsk. ”

"Yes, Comrade Manturov." Ligachev also involuntarily joined the ranks of praise, "Your vision, indeed, no one can compare." If you hadn't anticipated the invasion of the German fascists and upgraded the line of defense on the old border as soon as possible, the Germans would have reached Moscow. ”

Insight? As a time-traveler from the 21st century, Manturov's vision is naturally much more "long-term" than that of other Soviets, after all, he can accurately predict what will happen in the future, and he can also objectively analyze and think about problems from the perspective of a "posterity".

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The war has entered its fourth month, Moscow is still far away, and Hitler's fantasy of "destroying the Soviet Union in three months" has come to naught.

After fierce fighting, the Soviet and German armies suffered considerable losses, and the German Army Group Center, Army Group South, and Army Group North all suffered defeats in front of the "Manturov Line" and suffered heavy losses.

Both Army Group Center, which lost the 2nd Panzer Army, and Army Group South, which lost half of the 1st Tank Group, were facing the problem of insufficient troops, low morale, and were no longer capable of launching a large-scale offensive in a short period of time.

After the Battle of Narva, Army Group North also suffered losses, but because they did not encounter encirclement and annihilation, and were good at using Estonian nationalists as cannon fodder, their own losses were not very large.

However, in the face of the strong defensive line around Narva and the superior forces of the Soviet Red Army, the German army, which had no air supremacy and no superiority in troops, was no longer able to break through the defense line named after Manturov.

"Comrades, after hard fighting, our great Soviet Red Army, which managed to hold back the German invaders west of the old border, secured the lives and property of the people in the rear.

Now that we've defeated them, we've got enough troops, enough good equipment! Now, it's time to launch a counteroffensive against the invaders and regain lost ground! "At a meeting of the Supreme Command held in the Kremlin, Stalin went straight to the point and pointed out the main body of the meeting - preparing for a counteroffensive!

"Comrade Stalin, I don't think we are in the right place to launch a counteroffensive. First, we lack sufficient resources to carry out a counteroffensive. Second, there are major problems in our logistical supply, with trains often delayed, poor road conditions, and an insufficient number of trucks and transport planes, resulting in inefficient transportation.

If we rashly launch a large-scale counteroffensive without solving the problem of logistics supply, I am afraid that our war will be more difficult, consume more time, and at the same time pay more casualties.

Third, our communications system is not yet perfect, and some units are still not equipped with radio equipment, making it difficult to communicate with superiors or other units during an attack. In this case, it will be difficult for us to exercise effective command over these units and to grasp the situation facing them. ”

Zhukov pointed to the problems faced by the Soviet Red Army in terms of logistics and communications equipment, which seemed like no big deal, but were no less important than weapons development.

If these problems can be solved, the combat capability of the Soviet Red Army will be greatly improved, but the problem of train delays has not been solved for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of trucks, tractors, and thousands of transport planes cannot be built in a moment.

Even if the Soviet Union does not lack communication equipment and can keep up with the production, it will probably take some time to send the radio equipment to each team and arrange personnel who are familiar with the operation of the infinite points.
