At present, the total strength of the Soviets is close to 5 million, and this does not include the hundreds of thousands of original troops of the three Baltic States that will soon be incorporated into the Red Army - Lin Jun does not expect those troops to have strong combat effectiveness, at most they will serve as some auxiliary tasks, and he does not expect them to be able to fight the German army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the peacetime establishment, this was already a fairly large army for the population of the USSR. In recent years, under the central government's measures of "quality and quantity" in parallel, this is an army with strong combat effectiveness.

But compared to the German army in the west, the Soviet army did not have much advantage, and it is clear from the German offensive posture that the war machine of the Third Reich was terrifying - for Lin Jun, and even more so for Stalin.

Words are dead, and Lin Jun in his previous life felt that the "blitzkrieg" of Germany in World War II was fast, just like reading a flowing novel. But now it's completely different, and when his neighbor is such an efficient war machine, he who knows history well will also become uncomfortable.

The Germans were not fools, and after meeting the Red Army during the invasion of Poland, they were bound to make adjustments to their writing, and the image of the T34 alone would strongly irritate the nerves of the Germans.

Lin Jun's own "military revolution" in the Soviets would also indirectly make the German army stronger.

A war with the Third Reich was inevitable, and what needed to be done was to prepare the Soviets as fully as possible. In the past few days, he has dispelled the ideological preparation to attack Germany first in the near future, which is obviously unwise: Germany is not the future NATO, and the Soviet Union is not the Soviet Union in the period of total victory thirty years later, Lin Jun still can't let go of the sentence "Attack from East Germany and enter the English Channel in a week!" Bold words.

The "blitzkrieg" of the German army could not swallow the Soviet Union in one go, and the "large-scale in-depth advance" of the Red Army could not bring down Germany in a short time: it was a hard, continuous war to be fought, and both sides were extremely tenacious. In particular, in Germany, the Soviet Union launched 10 "Stalin's assaults" on a huge scale, but the Germans retreated again and again, and it was obviously unrealistic to imagine that they would hit Berlin with three strikes and five divisions.

Germany's weapons are not the most advanced now, and their resources are not comparable to those of the victorious periods in history, but one thing is most important - although the German army is not the most numerous now, it does not occupy the most territory.

The need for more troops to occupy more space, the need for troops for local law and order, and the need for troops to exterminate the guerrillas will inevitably reduce Germany's overall combat effectiveness -- the number of troops it can devote in one direction will certainly be affected.

When Germany occupies most of Europe, its armies will inevitably be everywhere, and although it can obtain more resources, the pros and cons are equal, and integrating the economy of the occupied territories to serve the war is not only troublesome, but also not a problem that can be solved in a short time. Both Lin Jun and the Soviet Union need to wait for Hitler to disrupt the situation in the whole of Europe, and for whether Germany will confront Britain across the Strait like history.

There is attrition in war, and even if it is won, it will definitely hurt its vitality, even if it can get more resources.

If Germany and England were to be confronted by sea for four to six months, the Soviets would be ready for a great war with Germany; If Hitler had crossed the English Channel, the time was not far off for the Soviets to reshuffle the European order.

"Comrade Stalin, at the moment the number of our troops is not enough for the current complex situation. There are no permanent allies, and according to the current situation, it is lucky that the French can last a month. Although Britain has the protection of the Channel, it is not infallible, and Hitler may have pointed the finger at us after destroying France. ”

After welcoming Stalin into his study, Lin Jun voiced his concerns.

"I share the same concerns. Andrey, if the Germans had not attacked to the west, but had come towards us, Ukraine and Belarus would have suffered heavy losses. ”

"It seems that Andrei is also thinking very far." Stalin thought.

"Now we have 5 million troops, but only about 2.2 million are concentrated in the western military districts. The German attack on Poland gave us an idea of the power of the German blitzkrieg, but this year's German attack was much stronger than last year's. It is undeniable that if the target of the German offensive this time is us, we are in danger of losing Ukraine and Belarus. ”

Lin Jun's words were what Stalin could have imagined, but they were not the kind of situation in history that occurred like the "siege of Kiev" -- the current Stalin would not have believed that there would be such a siege at all. What Lin Jun meant was that the German army had broken through into Ukraine and Belarus with heavy losses, and that the Red Army in both places would also be completely lost, which was what Stalin thought.

"Comrade Stalin, I propose to conduct a special conscription this year to increase the number of troops by 2 million. If we increase our troops in a state of imminent battle, although we have enough troops, our combat effectiveness will be seriously weakened. ”

The combat effectiveness of recruits who are not adequately trained is almost negligible, and in combat it can even affect the overall combat effectiveness of the troops, which has been proven more than once in war.

How long does it take to train an ordinary lad into a relatively qualified military man?

By no means three months! After about a year of training, it may be possible to be regarded as relatively qualified and basically proficient in cultivating the military qualities that military personnel need to master and be ready to participate in war.

The losses of recruits in World War II were staggering, and perhaps they didn't know anything but how to use the rifle in their hands, not even how to conduct squad-platoon level coordinated operations, and it was dangerous for people who were not familiar with their comrades and did not know the army to participate in battle.

There is still time to replenish the army with another 2 million fresh troops without affecting the country's overall preparations for war.

Blind and crazy army expansion is not what Lin Jun needs, all fronts need manpower, and the young man is a new force, if the labor force is drawn now, then the other preparation fronts will be affected too much, 2 million is just right.

Stalin agreed with Lin Jun's proposal, and at the same time transferred all kinds of industrial systems to the military industry, and even agriculture should serve the general war readiness.

Since last year, ordinary people in the Soviet Union have begun to feel that life is changing, especially urban dwellers.

At present, the Soviet Union implements a standard planning system for daily necessities, and Lin Jun can often see the residents of Moscow queuing up to buy things, but since last year, the things that ordinary people buy and the bills in their hands have quietly changed.

The supply of bread and flour has increased, but potatoes are still open to supply and buy as they please. There is no change in seasonal products, like aquatic products, which are more in summer and less in winter. However, except for families with children, sick people, pregnant women, people over 65 years old and other special envoys, and special areas in high latitudes, the supply of milk and meat is relatively small, and even vodka is not as easy to buy as before.

Comrades in the grain department and in various communities explained to some comrades who did not understand that these changes were decided by the central authorities in order to increase grain reserves. Since there was no need to affect the special family, the people of the Soviets had no opinion: everyone knew that there was a war all over the world, and anyone with a little knowledge could understand that this was to prepare for the future.

The drunkards have a little opinion, but if you really want to drink it, you can buy it, so it's a big deal to queue up. If you are too lazy to move, you will drink one or two less meals, and you will not die.

Such a situation is not only faced by ordinary people, but also by the cadres and comrades around them, and the meat at home has become less than everyone else.

The changes in daily necessities and non-staple foods on the Soviet market were caused by Lin Jun's suggestion - the Soviets needed to store grain as the war was imminent.

Lin Jun's memories of the starvation of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War stimulated his nerves: the workers who fainted from hunger on the production line; The painful eyes of mothers who are starving and crying without milk, because mothers are also starving; And the citizens of Leningrad who starved to death on the side of the road.

All this made Lin Jun determined to store food, fight wars, and eat enough to produce munitions!

The destruction of agricultural production by war is devastating, and nothing is empty talk without food. But storing food can't be a one-size-fits-all approach. The food sector has made systematic preparations, and the implementation has been carried out in a gradual and orderly manner, according to a relatively scientific method, and different methods have been adopted in different regions and different situations.

It is not at all possible to adopt the wartime supply system now, although it is still a supply system, but even Moscow has a market where you can buy things for money, and you don't need a ticket. But the variety of goods in those markets is limited: what if there is a big stomach in the family and there is not enough bread to eat?

No problem, just go to the nearest market or supply point and buy pocket potatoes, the price is quite cheap.

But this is not the case with the wartime supply system: even if you have money, you can't buy food, and you can ration as much as you want, and never give more

The supply department has reduced the amount of meat that can only be obtained by consuming a large amount of grain, but has increased the supply of general grain -- Lin Jun has asked medical experts to make scientific calculations, and although the current food supply system has reduced the ration of meat, the supply of calories has increased.

Of course, the current situation has led to the opening of the appetite of the average person in winter, and some comrades who work in factories will take out a piece of bread or a few potatoes from their pockets and stuff them into their mouths in their free time -- the less meat there is, the less calories per unit, and the solution is to eat more, and there are more bread and potatoes anyway.

Lin Jun himself raided the situation of some schools and families, bypassed the local government departments, and got the situation that satisfied him: the supply of meat and milk in the nursery and school was sufficient, and although the average family ate less meat, they were absolutely able to manage it and keep up with the nutrition, and there was no decline in the system due to less meat. Lin Jun himself also led by example, and also implemented a new food policy at home, which made all the senior cadres of the central government have to follow those "carnivores".

It's just that after the injury, Lin Jun didn't execute it himself, because he himself was already on the list of "special circumstances".

An increase in the supply of general grain and a reduction in the production of meat, which consumes a large amount of grain, on the whole would have led to a marked increase in the grain reserves of the Soviets, which, together with the efforts of the agricultural production sector, had saved an astonishing amount of grain last year.

The central government asked the western cities to store grain in a relatively decentralized manner, because Lin Jun was worried about the situation like the Leningrad Central Grain Depot.

There are food, people, and weapons, and Hitler will not panic when he comes! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
