Chapter 189: West Sayan Ridge in Distress
As soon as the New Year passed, the entire Soviet military system began to run at high speed like a machine that had been activated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoThe world is still peaceful for the common people, but the military leadership has made it clear that this year will be an extraordinary year, and the special meeting in November made it clear that military action will be launched in two directions this year: the problems with Finland and Poland must be resolved.
And that's not all, the Baltic problem needs to be resolved, and it is likely that a certain degree of conflict will break out between the Far East and the Japanese, and peace does not belong to this era.
Lin Jun spent the whole month on the road, went to Leningrad to participate in the state test of the new submarine, and after three days of wandering in the cold and biting Baltic Sea, he personally signed the production license, and lived a good life of the dragon palace.
During his stay in Leningrad, he also consulted with the commander of the military district again on the pre-war training of the army, and Debenko hoped to give him an infantry unit that could adapt to fighting in extremely cold areas in advance, starting with familiarity with the terrain and serving as the first main force in the event of war.
"How much do you want?"
"Not much, a division. But Comrade Andrei, I hope that in the first half of the year we will be able to get such a unit, it doesn't matter if it is not the main force, as long as it can adapt to the severe cold, we will prepare the best equipment. I could use one or even two divisions of troops to move with the military districts to the east. β
The commander's words did not violate the mistake: the troops are not from the military district, let alone from his Debenko, but if you don't change a few troops from here to the military district in the east, the commander over there will scold your mother!
Winters in Leningrad are so cold, and further north they are even colder. Since the beginning of winter last year, Debenko has organized several winter training units in the Manselkai Hilly area, and has come to the conclusion that the existing units of the Military District will be more than half the fighting in the extreme north -- most of the units of the Leningrad Military District are still not adapted to fighting in the winter forest areas.
"It's not easy. I can temporarily transfer the whole army for you in the state of war, if it is the current situation, it will be a little difficult, but I will do my best. β
Temporary reinforcements of troops who are not familiar with the terrain of the area of operations will pay a certain price, and coordination with the existing troops will create certain problems, and it would be better if there was a period of adaptation. Now that it has been confirmed that Finland will start a big war next autumn and winter, it is better to be fully prepared for the time being.
It doesn't matter whether the main force is the main force or not, the forest battle in the north is expected to be an irregular guerrilla and counter-guerrilla attack, and those "miscellaneous armies" with many "suits" may be more suitable, and Debenko will have enough support troops for it.
Of course, the troops who adapt to the cold have to be transferred from the Siberian Military District, Lin Jun would not have thought that the current conversation almost cost him his life, and a big accident was waiting for him.
After leaving Leningrad and passing through Minsk, he discussed with the commander of the Belarusian Military District the current state of training of the troops, and then left for Kiev, where he stayed for a few days before returning to Minsk.
Both Minsk and Kyiv have drawn up plans for this year's westward advance, and several sets of plans clearly indicate the clear offensive steps of their troops once they advance to western Belarus and western Ukraine, and the farthest set of plans has always been to reach the offensive arrow to the Polish-German border.
On February 15, Vukinskaya gave Lin Jun another son, and the next day Nova gave birth to another daughter to Andlupf.
The birth of two new lives turned Zhukov into a sea of joy, and several families were busy.
Lin Jun named his second son Ivan Vasilyevich Plunyakov. The name of the eldest son has already made the relatives a little strange, but this violation of custom to throw the name of "Lao Tzu" to Siberia has made everyone have no opinion at all, and a few people are still happy to tears in their eyes.
"Ivan" is Uncle Ivan, and "Vasily" is the name of Lin Lin's "grandfather" Arkhipov, which makes the two important relatives around Lin Jun moved: what is more touching than using the name of a relative when giving a child a name?

In March, the situation in Europe began to change dramatically, and the Polish and Hungarian foreign officials approached Hitler in an ordinary way, all in order to take advantage of Czechoslovakia again.
The sad and ridiculous Polish government still did not wake up before the end came, but was bent on other people's lands. On the 14th, Hitler finally decided that the time was ripe for a complete settlement of the Czechoslovak question, and sent troops to annex Czechoslovakia (saying that Slovakia would become independent, but the Germans marched into all of Czechoslovakia the next day). οΌγ On the same day, the Hungarian army had already begun to enter the area of Karpaso.
On the 15th, Hitler arrived in Prague by train, and he asked the Czechoslovakians to see their new masters. And Hitler's actions were known to the world at the first time, and Moscow realized that it received the movements of German actions from the German Foreign Office, but it did not know the specific time when the German troops marched into Prague.
On March 22, Germany received the Memel region from Lithuania, and with the acquiescence of Western democracies again, Lithuania succumbed.
The next day Molotov suggested to Stalin that pressure on the three Baltic countries could begin, and Stalin agreed.
Hitler, the state official, was setting fire to the fire, and the British and French officials were desperately helping to fan the flames, and it would be too stupid not to act on their side, and the timing was just right.
Molotov will not be as anxious as Hitler, as soon as he opens his mouth, "Lao Tzu is going to swallow you", this needs to be done step by step, and Hitler is a great help: Nazi Germany wants to annex you, then your only choice can only be to find a strong enough guardian, thinking that if you resist yourself, you will kill yourself - there is no so-called moral democracy in this era, everything is the power to speak.
This is true of Germany, as is Britain and France, which decide the fate of other countries on their own, and the most "democratic" United States, of course, prefers "peace", and since the world is like this, Moscow will not let go of any opportunity.
"Democracy? We can build it after we finish fighting! "Marathon negotiations with the Baltic states began.

On the night of May 18, Kremlin Guard Captain Snolnik rushed into Stalin's office without even knocking on the door! His new captain had never been so reckless, and Stalin saw that the young man's face had lost its former composure.
"Comrade Stalin, urgent telegram from Ulaanbaatar!"
After reading the telegram, Stalin did not sound for a long time, and his face became a little pale, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Please Comrade Kalinin and Alexander come to me, and Voroshinov, and, immediately, block the news."
"Yes, Comrade Stalin."
Fifteen minutes later, the three of them came to Stalin's office, and Voroshinov's face became extremely ugly after reading the telegram: "I will now go and order the troops along the line to search." β
"Tell me below, you have to find it for me!"
Stalin's words were uttered in no uncertain terms, and everyone in the room understood: if they could not find it, it is estimated that many people would fall to the ground for it!
Voroshinov immediately borrowed the phone from Stalin's office to give the order, and here Comrade Kalinin asked: "Comrade Stalin, what needs to be done." β
Stalin smiled bitterly slightly: "Let Voroshinov take charge here, and you will go to Zhukov with me." β
"Voroshinov, order the Ulaanbaatar side to act according to the original plan and strictly block the news."
"Andre, how do you want me to explain to Kaya!"
The telegram made Stalin feel the importance of little Andrei to himself again without being mentally prepared, because the telegram was sent by Tukhachevsky, who had just arrived in Ulaanbaatar in the afternoon: Comrade Stalin, I have to inform you that Comrade Andrei's special plane was originally scheduled to arrive in Ulaanbaatar before dark yesterday, but it did not arrive until this afternoon. At present, I have consulted with Comrade Choibalshan to carry out search and rescue along the route in Mongolia, and we will do our best to find Comrade Andrei's plane.
At the beginning of this month, clashes broke out between the Mongolian army and the Japanese army on the border, and in a short period of time, the fighting became bigger and bigger. After receiving the report, Lin Jun, who was in Moscow, knew that the Japanese army was thinking of revenge, and this was a godsend opportunity for the Japanese to become honest, so he immediately exchanged views with Stalin.
The 57th Special Army of the Soviet Red Army stationed in Mongolia immediately came to the aid of the Mongolian army and transferred support units from the Transbaikal Military District into Mongolia. In order to solve the problem once and for all, the Kremlin's order is that the military operation must be ended within three months!
Such an order requires an experienced commander to dare to accept -- you will scare and hurt the Japanese, but you must also make sure that the Japanese will not go out and fight with you like mad dogs.
The commander of the 57th Special Army, Feklenko, apparently could not master the battle yet, when Stalin asked Lin Jun and Voroshinov to nominate candidates. Voroshinov hoped to find a commander with sufficient qualifications and experience from several major military districts in the west to go to Mongolia, but he was not sure of a candidate for the time being: the western side was busy preparing for war, and the commander could not just say that he could do it.
Lin Jun boldly recommended to Stalin: The use of Tukhachevsky, who was "exiled" in the Far East, could ensure that everything was safe in the military aspect, and second, it could test Tukhachevsky's loyalty again.
Stalin agreed, this is also considered to be a rush to the doctor, and Stalin knows Tukhachevsky's military ability, and at present, Tukhachevsky is unlikely to threaten himself, and he can also take it out to balance the impact of "riding an episode".
Lin Jun did not forget the Zhukov, who had just returned from China, recommended him as the commander of the armored forces participating in the battle, and decided to personally go to Ulaanbaatar to command the deployment of the air force.
Lin Jun and Zhukov arrived in Novosibirsk on a military train for three days and four nights, and then changed to a transport plane and flew directly to Ulaanbaatar.
Lin Jun is not dead, and Zhukov is not hanging: in a col in the West Sayan Mountains, 4,500 kilometers from Moscow, two senior commanders of the Red Army and several attachΓ©s are battling the bitter cold of the late night in the mountains.
