"At the moment our military operations in Western Ukraine and Western Belarus can be regarded as entering the final stage, and the rest of the work will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with Comrade Alexander in Kiev, it is estimated that the democratic process in the two places will soon bear fruit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Lin Jun knew that he was no longer needed in the west, and Stalin recruited him back to deal with the problems of the north.

"Democratic elections to the People's Assembly of Western Ukraine and the entire territory of Western Belarus are being organized, and it is only a matter of time before the People's Assembly declares the formation of Soviet power and submits an application to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for the acceptance of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The General Staff already has a detailed plan for rebuilding the defense system on the western border, and in the future our opponent will be the Germans, but the time for the confrontation should be after Germany has solved the problem of the western European continent. ”

Lin Jun's words are very measured, "the problem of the western European continent", God knows whether Hitler can handle Britain or fight both sides with a hot head.

"As for the summing up of the experience of our liberation march and the German-Polish war, I and the two commanders of the front army and Comrade Zhukov have made a preliminary summary, and there are many problems in it that need to be improved."

He handed over a folder of official documents to Stalin, "Compared with the German army, our air-ground and ground-to-ground tactics are still lacking, and the Germans have sent a large number of air force personnel to the army as liaisons, so that they can use the air-ground integrated tactics as quickly and effectively as possible." Although our aviation forces are directly subordinate to the armies, they are not as efficient as the Germans in terms of air-ground communication, and this is where we need to improve. ”

Stalin took a general look at it and handed it to Voroshinov, who was with the chief of the General Staff.

"This march is a very good training of our theory of large-depth operations, and it has reflected many hard flaws, such as in logistics. : We didn't face much substantial resistance from the Poles, but some units were logistically disjointed by the speed of their advance, and some mechanized units were even waiting to be refueled. As the commander-in-chief of the army, I am also responsible for the emergence of this passive situation, but it also reflects our shortcomings in the army's logistics. ”

"I envisage whether it is possible to set up a new department within the National Defense Commission to be a general logistics department responsible for all logistical affairs of the troops, and the logistics system from top to bottom should also be systematically configured, such as setting up logistics managers at the battalion level, logistics offices at the regiment level, and special logistics departments at and above the division level."

In response to his proposal, everyone in the room said that it deserved a detailed argument - even the most mediocre commander knew the importance of logistics.

"In terms of equipment, this advance also reflects some of our shortcomings, such as the difficulty of rapid advance between infantry units and tank units."

For this suggestion, Lin Jun put it forward after conducting a detailed investigation and deep thought.

"There are many areas where the road conditions in Western Belarus and Western Ukraine are not ideal, and even worse due to the destruction of the Poles. During the march, the mechanized infantry of our fast-advancing tank units basically relied on ordinary trucks to maneuver, and the number of special off-road vehicles was very small. However, even off-road vehicles cannot keep up with the speed of the tanks in areas with poor road conditions, which leads to the situation where tanks and other infantry or tank units venture out alone, and some infantry units cannot march on tanks. ”

"Comrades, if our opponent is a unit like the German army, whatever the case may be, it is very likely that we will suffer unbearable losses. As far as I know, in order to solve the problem of the follow-up of mechanized infantry regiments in tank divisions, the Germans have installed a large number of half-track armored personnel carriers, but they still cannot achieve the same speed of infantry and tank advancement. We have the world's largest armored vehicle unit, but all armored vehicles are designed as individual combat units and do not have the ability to carry infantry. ”

Lin Jun This is to push forward the way of infantry combat by 20 years, "The tank directly carrying the infantry can temporarily solve the immediate problem, but if you want to solve the problem once and for all, I propose to design a personnel carrier with tracked walking gear, a certain amount of armor and firepower, and the same mobility as a tank." Based on cost and man-hour considerations, personnel carriers can be divided into two types: with a machine gun turret and with only machine guns, the former can be named an infantry fighting vehicle, and the latter can be named an infantry transport vehicle. ”

At this time, the General Staff Chief Shaposhnikov spoke: "The infantry in the tank operation is used to penetrate the breakthrough caused by the tank, and if the armored vehicles with a certain protective force are transported, the combat efficiency and the efficiency of grasping the fighters will be greatly advanced." But is it feasible to actually design and produce equipment? ”

"The difficulties will not be great, Comrade Shaposhnikov. At present, what we need is a new type of armored vehicle that needs to be simple and reliable, which can be developed on the basis of the territory of existing light tanks, and equipped only with those units with heavy armored assault forces, which will not affect the production and preparation of tanks. Although the current armored vehicles have played a huge role in the Haraha River conflict, they are gradually not suitable for the needs of the new type of warfare from a comprehensive analysis. ”

The Japanese fought themselves in the way of World War I at the Halaha River, and their tactics and equipment were not at the same level. Compared to the ratio of cost to combat effectiveness, tanks that perform similar functions have an absolute advantage.

"We can reduce the investment in the development of heavy armored vehicles, or even stop research in this area, and reduce the production volume of armored vehicles when the new tracked armored vehicles are put into production, and transfer resources and manpower to the manufacture of tracked armored vehicles and tanks, which will not reduce the ability to update the equipment of the troops. Of course, we still need a part of light armored vehicles with decent performance, and the reconnaissance forces also need them. ”

Armored cars have strong old die-hard supporters, and armored cars have played a huge role in the civil war, and Lin Jun has his own way to deal with their opposition.

"Our next goal is to solve the problem in the north, and I have carefully studied the terrain there." Lin Jun motioned for the staff to change the map of Finland he had brought, and then took out a large number of photos of the Finnish forest that Alexander had brought for him and distributed them to the crowd.

"Comrade, please see, many of Finland are boreal forests, and the density of trees varies from place to place. Although the topography of the forest zone is generally flat and the elevation difference is small, it is densely populated with lakes, swamps and columns, and wetland swamps account for more than 10 percent, and in many areas as high as 50 percent. The roads are largely made of muck, gravel and gravel, and are almost impassable during the spring snowmelt, summer rains and early winter freezes. Although the land base is strong in winter, due to the influence of ice and snow, the time suitable for car traffic is very short, and when the snow reaches a certain thickness, the wheels of the car will be difficult to walk, even with simple tracks and snow chains, let alone maneuvering in the forest. ”

"That's why we started preparing for winter operations last year, at least for a while our tanks were still strong, albeit for a short time. The only troops that can move freely in the Finnish forest in winter are the ski units that have been training since last year, and we can't rely solely on the Finns' roads, because there are cold forests on both sides that are difficult for tanks to pass, and as long as there are Finnish troops in ambush on both sides, any unit will be in a situation where they can't take care of each other. If we send a large number of armored vehicles to these places, we will soon be on our stomachs and become targets for the Finnish partisans. ”

"We will discuss the issue of armored vehicles tomorrow, and since we have already talked about the northern issue, the meeting will move on to the next procedure." It was Stalin who spoke.

Before Lin Jun returned to his seat, Stalin also motioned for himself to continue speaking, and continued: "What I am going to say next will be very sensitive, and it will be completely fact-finding. If we had attacked Finland eight to ten years ago, the Finns would have welcomed us, at least by the Finnish left-wing workers and peasants. But that has changed now, and even the lowest-wage workers and left-wing Finns are hostile to us. ”

After Lin Jun finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, meaning: Don't jump out and say that you don't understand the reason for this transformation of the Finns in the past few years?! The Ministry of the Interior and the Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff regularly report on this to your office.

"Finland's population is only equivalent to our population growth in a year, but they can mobilize at least 600,000 militias who are familiar with the cold, and with the cooperation of the natural environment, it will be unimaginable for us to lose casualties and losses if we were to occupy all of Finland, let alone how to support a new Finnish government. Here I would like to make a statement, and this is also the point of view that I shared with Comrade Alexander, who also reported to Comrade Stalin before going to the Western Front, that I did not trust that Otto Wilhelmovich Kuusinen, who came up with a plan for Finland that was full of holes, and if I were a Finn and see those propaganda slogans he put forward, despising his personality would only be the only result. This man, under the banner of communism, is simply trying to use us to help him reach the highest position in Finland、、、、、、"

Lin Jun's vicious attack on Kusinen was not only based on facts, but also because of his hostility towards this man. Lin Jun's words made the atmosphere in the conference room sharply depressed for a while, because Lin Jun was attacking the members of the Presidium of the Executive Committee of the Comintern and the secretary of the Secretariat, and Kuusinen had held this position for 18 years!

Stalin didn't speak, he knew that what Lin Jun said was reasonable in some ways, but he still didn't expect that Lin Jun would attack Kuusinen on this occasion, and he also saw that his love would look like he still had a lot of reasons.

"So we need to make some adjustments to our Finnish battle plan to only get the strategic depth we need, not to take unnecessary risks."
