Chapter 179: Millennium Fortress
At seven o'clock in the morning of September 3, Lin Jun was having breakfast with Voronov at the conference room table in his sleeping car. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, according to Pauker's intention, he wanted to prepare a special train for Lin Jun, but Lin Jun thought that this was a bit exciting, although his current status was able to enjoy such treatment, but it might make the Moscow bigwigs privately think that he was too pretentious - no other Deputy People's Commissar of Defense had done this, and it would add unnecessary trouble to the railway department.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people going to the Crimean Tatar Autonomous Republic this time, Lin Jun would have chosen to go by plane: the special train asked the railway department to readjust the frequency of the entire line, and all other passenger and freight trains would give way to the special train, and always be ready for the chief's whim to stop, which caused trouble that the special plane could not compare.
Paulkel followed Lin Jun's intention and informed the railway department to give him permission to go to the Crimean Peninsula (also translated as the Crimean Peninsula. The tourist train was derelict in his duty not to allow Comrade Andrei to ride in an ordinary box with ordinary travelers.
Receiving an order from the State Defense Committee, the comrades of the sensitive railway department prepared an additional locomotive for the unknown chief, and tried to make sure that the train would arrive in Sevastopol on time on the morning of September 4.
At breakfast, the train had already passed Kursk, and the next big station was Kharkov, this time Lin Jun did not have time to visit Comrade Koshkin, and he had to go straight to his destination, and he had to enter the vast plain of Ukraine in front of him.
Today, I have a very good appetite, I have eaten a full portion of mashed potatoes, and I have been a habit of not eating meat for breakfast, except for war conditions, of course, I will eat whatever I have.
The food provided by the tourist train was already good, not to mention the important people in the last two carriages, and the railway bureau prepared the highest standard of service and material reserves for this train, which made Lin Jun's guards happy.
Although Sevastopol on the Black Sea coast is a military stronghold, it is no longer the hinterland of the Soviets, relying on the Black Sea, and the ethnic composition and regional history of the Crimean Tatar Autonomous Republic are somewhat complicated (mainly during the Soviet Civil War in 1918~1920, it was occupied by the German army and the British, French, Greek and Denikin's White Army. Paulcker asked Lin Jun to take the guards with him - the head of such a "complex" area must have perfect security.
Lin Jun was also confused by the dedication of his office director, so he had to bring a detachment of guards - according to Pauckel's meaning, the entire guard was dispatched, and Lin Jun vetoed it, otherwise it would be too exaggerated.
But even the ten-member guard already made the leaders of the Moscow railway station who received it at that time a little puzzled, this was not because of the number of people, but because of these comrades who were not ordinary soldiers at first glance, all of them carried black pockets.
"It's better not to think too much about some things, curiosity kills cats." The railway comrades, accustomed to seeing the big guys, just stayed their attention on those pockets for half a second.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has considered very thoughtfully, at present those new weapons must not appear in front of the public, and can only appear in the barracks, but Comrade Andrei's guards must be equipped for the performance of their tasks, and they have specially designed special bags and boxes that can be opened quickly, and the AK47 in the bag can even be shot without opening the bag when necessary.
Now the guards were carrying out their duties as if they had practiced countless times: the bear-like Alyosha sat behind Lin Jun.
The position behind Lin Jun is no longer the preserve of Landscochie, and Alyosha will faithfully stand behind him as soon as he goes out - fortunately he didn't hold an AK47 or RPD dangling behind him, otherwise he would have a little chill in his back.
A brand-new Tuas uniform, at first glance, it is a special color, which is much better than those produced in mass production (it is estimated that the height of two meters is not special and not customized.) ), a special symbol on the collar badge indicates that its owner is an elite member of the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because he was in the train, Alyosha did not wear his oversized Budyonny hat, showed a large bald head, and was armed with a holster of Tokarev's 33 pistol, which Lin Jun estimated to be live ammunition.
Yesterday, Lin Jun asked Alyosha: Does Tokarev's pistol seem a little small for his big hands like a fan?
"Yes, Comrade Andrey, but I'm used to it, and besides, at the moment a pistol is not my main armament."
Of course, the same army should use the same weapons, so that the ammunition will be universal, but the pistol is relatively not very important in Lin Jun's guards - of course, it will take some time for the comrades to appear in the open before the AK47 can appear in the open.
"Are revolvers used to it?"
"Fortunately, I used to use a revolver for a long time, but the original Nagant pistol was not very comfortable to use."
Lin Jun knew that Alyosha was talking about the M1895 Nagant revolver, the old man of Tsarist Russia, and the only advantage was that it was not stuck. Even now, the guards of many important figures in the Soviet Union still use revolvers - the ammunition capacity is not large, no problem, one shot is enough.
"I have an American-made 11.43mm large-caliber revolver, and I'll give it to you when I get back. Yankee guy you use the estimate just put together. ”
Last time, the Ministry of Equipment imported a batch of pistols and ammunition made in the United States for testing, Lin Jun saw that the workmanship was good, so he used his authority to play with it, and found that the 11.43mm guy was still a little inappropriate to use as a toy: the recoil was too large, and the size was too big.
Yankee's revolvers are already a kind of culture, and many models are simply "tailor-made" for special groups of people - whoever makes himself fancy a super-large Colt, his 1.82 meter size is too big, it is estimated that it is for giants like Alyosha.
This American is also a bit excessive, even the bullets imported together are all exposed lead bullets, not at all the American military-standard bullets in memory, the cartridge case is one section longer than the military point four or five pistol bullets, if it is used to face people for a while, it is estimated that it is a big hole, which is most suitable for a devil muscle man like Alyosha.
"Why is the Ministry of Equipment importing such a folk play?!"
Lin Jun didn't think of sending the guard weapon because it was fun - the penetration of the T33 is too strong, if it really comes to the point where he needs to use a pistol to get a guy, the big guy behind him who can shoot people away with a gun may not be a bad thing, and the bullets he brought have thousands of rounds, which is enough for Alyosha to familiarize himself with the new play.
、、、、、、、
At the dinner table, Lin Jun did not talk about artillery or fortresses with Comrade Chief Artillery, but put the topic on the black earth outside the car window - the endless Great Plain of Ukraine is ahead, here is the granary of the Soviet Union, one of the lifeblood of the Soviet Union.
Every time he passes through the Ukrainian Plain, Lin Jun will think of the Sanjiang Plain he had visited in his previous life - there are only three major black soils in the world, except for the Great Plain of Ukraine and the Mississippi River Basin in the United States, which is the black soil of Northeast China.
The area of the Great Plains of Ukraine is about 1.9 million square kilometers, and the area of the Mississippi River Basin in the United States is about 1.2 million square kilometers.
The wheat fields on both sides of the railway are endless, giving people a sense of prosperity – something that the Soviets now deliberately do not mention: because of policy mistakes more than a decade ago, due to excessive destruction of grassland, destruction of surface vegetation, and serious soil erosion, there was a very destructive "black storm" here, and the poor harvest led to the ****** of Ukraine.
Although the black soil of Ukraine is fertile, because it is completely a vast plain, due to the long winter every year, the reclaimed land can only be cultivated once a year, which is the same as the northeast in Lin Jun's memory. It is this reason that causes the land to be bare for too long, and as a result, it is a nightmare when the wind blows. Fortunately, the Soviets have noticed this problem in recent years and adopted a scientific crop rotation method to minimize the harm of wind erosion, otherwise Lin Jun would not have had to care about the construction of the Red Army, and the food problem alone would be enough for the leaders to have a headache.
In his previous life, Lin Jun knew some about the history of the famine in the Soviet Union, which was in 18-22 and 32-33, when many people starved to death in the Soviets. The first time, starting in 1918, the three-year armed intervention brought great disasters to the people of Soviet Russia, with a shortage of various goods, destruction of public facilities, and a continuous drought that made it difficult for various crops to grow. During the year, an unprecedented food shortage spread to more than 30 Soviet provinces, affecting 33.5 million people. In these areas, people can be seen starving on the road every day. In this ******, the United States helped the Soviet Union survive the disaster, and Gorky praised Washington for saving at least 9 million lives.
But the Americans were not philanthropists who selflessly helped others, businessmen took the opportunity to make a fortune, and the American rescue did not forget to take advantage of the fire: the humanity of the United States' aid to Soviet Russia at that time was undeniable, but the aid process was also mixed with complex political motives and commercial purposes. For example, from the very beginning, a lot of political conditions were put forward. The fact that the Soviets had to yield to the demands of the United States under difficult circumstances gave aid a strong utilitarian character, and political enrichment was also peculiar to the spirit of the Americans.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many people who aspired to Western-style democracy attributed all the reasons to the policy mistakes of the Soviets, forgetting who made them live a prosperous life, and they were very disgusted with Lin Jun in their previous life.
"Voronov, the famine of 32 years is not easy."
Voronov looked at Lin Jun: "Comrade Andrei, this is a dangerous topic. ”
"It's a bit dangerous, but it's for the enemies of the Soviets. It's not been a few years since the famine, and you can see how much better the people are living now. By the way, I have very few memories of that famine in '18. ”
Lin Jun's implication was that Voronov should talk about the ****** of those years, and that the famine was mainly caused by the imperialist invasion, and it was not considered a dangerous topic - in fact, what about a dangerous topic? Lin Jun can say anything, as long as it is not anti-Stalin.
"You must have been in Siberia, where the situation was much better than here. In 18 years I had just joined the Red Army in Leningrad, and the troops were fine, at least they could eat brown bread in general, but the common people ate even less. In many parts of the countryside, they live on the bark and grass roots, and they do not eat anything in winter, and in very few places they even eat the dead. But no matter how difficult it is for the common people, they will still give us food so that the soldiers can be fed to fight the White Army and the Intervention Army. ”
"What was the situation in Leningrad then?"
"In those years, people would starve to death every year in the winter, and some people would fall down while walking on the streets, and there would be no one to save because everyone had nothing to eat. Fortunately, this will never happen again, and now we have food, and those enemies will not dare to hit our attention again. ”
Ordinary people would not have imagined that any country would dare to invade the Soviets on a large scale, let alone the siege of Leningrad a few years later in history.
"There is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart!" Chairman Mao's words are wise sayings, everything that has not been eaten is empty.
"Look at the weather this year, it's going to be another good year." Lin Jun looked at the wheat field outside the window and said to himself.
"Yes, Comrade Andrey, it was a good year."
"If I remember correctly, the next two years of the Soviets will be a bumper grain year, and from next year onwards, we must gradually adopt a grain preparation plan." Lin Jun thought.
Grain storage is not a matter of tightening one's belt, and there is no need for it now: every year the Soviets export large quantities of rich grain at favorable prices, and large quantities of grain are used to make wine, and even a lot of grain is thrown away because of improper storage. As long as we do something reasonable about these three openings, we can gradually store a large amount of grain without lowering the people's living standards, and those drunkards will not complain about not being able to find vodka.
As the Deputy People's Commissar of National Defense, he thinks and manages more and more broadly - the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and when he returns, he must discuss this issue with Comrade Stalin and Kalinin, and he must also come up with a suitable plan: a bad one is worse than disrupting the industrial production system.
