What Lin Jun said today will be implemented immediately in the direction of Belarus, and it will also be sent to Moscow after Gusev's collation, so as to implement it to the greatest extent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLin Jun is on the front line, and he knows the Soviet family very well, and he has more "practical experience" than Stalin in the Kremlin, and the Supreme Commander and members of the High Command will implement his plan according to Lin Jun's advice.

However, according to Lin Jun's method, it is somewhat contradictory to his own words yesterday to the officers who escorted the prisoners, those prisoners of war escorted to Siberia probably don't want to eat enough on the way - first to meet the needs of the army, then the common people, of course, the fascist prisoners can only be placed last!

"Zhukov, there is not enough labor in our rear, the more prisoners the better. Not only the mines needed them, but also the farmlands needed some German farmers to cultivate, and most of the agricultural machinery was used to pull cannons, which required strong labor. ”

The more Lin Jun thought about it, the more he thought about it, there should be many peasant-born people among the prisoners of war: the Soviet Union had land, and they should be able to grow potatoes. As for the enthusiasm of labor, don't worry, Beria has been in charge of forestry production for several years, and by the way, it should not be a problem to manage the land reclamation movement. Historically, during the Great Patriotic War, he was not only responsible for domestic security in the Soviet Union, but also played a major role in the production of weapons.

As for the enthusiasm of the labor force itself, there is no need to worry, under the high pressure of "Beria-style", the enthusiasm of a group of underfed prisoners of war to produce food must be very high, and only a small incentive is needed. Compared to the intellectuals among the prisoners of war, the peasant-born Germans could survive a few more.

Now Zhukov wanted to laugh but couldn't, the deputy commander would be like a medieval lord: either kill all the civilians ruled by the opponent and weaken their war potential, or grab labor to increase their war potential!

Grab people! Grab the food! Grab resources!

However, in order to regard the German army, which was armed to the teeth and had first-class combat effectiveness, as a labor force, the commanders of the various armies of the Soviet Union estimated that they had to plan and plan well, and this "side business" was not easy to manage.

At this time, a staff officer of the Western Front Command came in and reported that Adolf Strauss and others were about to be escorted to Airfield 6, where a convoy of transport planes was already ready.

"Let the escorts pay attention, they must send the prisoners to Moscow safely, and there can be no mistakes!"

"Yes! Marshal. ”

The staff officer turned to leave, and Lin Jun and Zhukov certainly didn't have to send off the German field marshal.

"At noon, 15 transport planes will fly to the depths of the Everglades to airdrop supplies, most of which are high-calorie foods, except for a small amount of medicine." Zhukov told the air force about the plan of support for the partisan corps: the transport plane would depart from airfield No. 6, just after the German high-ranking generals had been sent off.

"White Sky Cast."

There is no way to do this, although there is a danger of being intercepted by the Luftwaffe, but it is almost impossible to carry out a night airdrop under the current situation! It was so cold that it was almost impossible for the plane to take off at night!

The situation on the side of the guerrilla corps is also not good, and the difficulty lies in the logistics: except for a very small number of excellent war horses in the best condition, all the other cattle have been used as military rations, but they are still not enough!

With the minimum temperature below minus 30 degrees Celsius for a long time, the large and scattered partisan corps had to feed a large number of non-combatants, and the harsh conditions were difficult for people here to experience.

"Kobets will send enough escort fighters, and there should be no major problems. In addition, the guerrilla corps will report that an assault group will be sent to cross the battle line, and comrades may report in the next two days. ”

"Well, when the guerrilla comrades arrive, I want to see them."

A personal telegram to Molotov was sent to Moscow, describing the urgent need of the front-line troops for canned American food, and asking Comrade People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs to get dozens of boatloads of "roast beef with potatoes" and "spirit meat" after arriving in the United States! That damn Spam luncheon meat didn't taste very good, but the cold Soviet Union needed that damn "soul meat".

Only half an hour after the message was sent, the telephone in Lin Jun's office rang, and after answering the phone, they chatted for half an hour, and the three of them had a conference conference -- Stalin, Lin Jun, and Molotov.

On the issue of assistance, the conference call was again devoted to not only agricultural products, but also industry.

Lin Jun said: "Comrade Molotov, according to the original plan, we can reduce the number of weapons and ammunition obtained, but the quantity of high-quality refined oil and industrial equipment is as much as we want!" ”

Stalin and Lin Jun would not have looked down on American and British tanks, artillery, and rifles, but there were as many trucks and machine lathes as there were—the factories in the rear needed a lot of industrial equipment.

There are not enough lathes, but some factories are unable to produce at full capacity because they do not have enough technicians to do so, so they have to send a large number of women, the elderly, teenagers and even disabled soldiers to work as mechanics. Even so, the total number of Soviet workers in the association was only about 10 million, which was only the same as in 1940. At present, Germany probably controls about 10 million people (of which about 8.37 million Germans) are capable of producing at full capacity, but this does not include factory personnel in the occupied territories. Moreover, this would in many cases be a patchwork, and the average Soviet mechanics were generally at a distance from the able-bodied and skilled German mechanics.

The Germans suffered in Minsk, but this would have given them an advantage over the USSR even in terms of strategic resources and labor!

But the Soviet Union also had its own way - to bite the rabbit if it was in a hurry! If the technical level of their own workers is lower, then simplify the production process of weapons, so that the structure of weapons is so simple that even a fool can produce them: the simplest example is the "turntable machine gun"; The production process of AK47 is very quick for an apprentice to master.

If your own workers are inefficient and few in number, then the working hours of the workers will be greatly extended: the Germans work 8 hours a day, and the Soviets work 14 hours!

The "amount of labor" has gone up, and the problem of industrial output must be solved.

When Comrade Zhukov commanded the "Battle of Berlin" in history, he used 42,000 artillery pieces to pour 450,000 shells on the German army in 3 hours on the banks of the Oder River, and the German army's will to resist was completely crushed by this powerful Soviet firepower!

The ultimate embodiment of the doctrine of red artillery, which requires the backing of machine tools and steel - the Soviet Union could have such a powerful firepower configuration, it would inevitably consume a lot of ammunition, and because of this, the Soviet Union became the most ammunition-consuming country in the history of World War II: about 10 million tons were used, 2.2 million tons more than Germany, and 3.4 million tons more than the United States!

This is a problem, in order for the Red Army to maintain the terrifying firepower of the "artillery doctrine" that makes the Americans ashamed, the output of high-quality steel must be at a very high level: under normal circumstances, the actual production of ammunition will generally be higher than the actual use, this is because no one will completely run out of their ammunition in actual combat, and will always keep a part as a backup, so if the actual amount of ammunition used by the Soviet Union is 10 million tons, Then the rear will have to produce more ammunition than 10 million tons!

According to conservative estimates, the Soviet Union consumed more than a third of the country's steel on ammunition production alone! -- All to catch up with the steel consumption of the construction of armored forces!

And Lin Jun needs high-quality gasoline: the Soviet Union is not short of oil, but it lacks high-quality gasoline! What's even more incredible is that the Red Army will be able to get no more finished fuel than its opponents! This is simply incredible at first glance!

Why?

The simplest explanation is that there is not enough coal!

The Soviet Union, which had a huge mechanized army, had an average annual fuel consumption of only 400~5 million tons during the Great Patriotic War in history, and only reached 5.6 million tons in 1944 at its peak (including airplanes and automobiles...... and other equipment), and in 1943 Germany obtained a total of 10 million tons of liquid fuel, including coal-to-liquid, and if it were not bombed by the Allies, its coal-to-liquid part still has the potential to continue to increase production!

The Soviet Union has a vast territory, abundant resources, and the people are hard-working, but the steel output just can't catch up with Germany - it's still a shortage of coal! In fact, the problem of coal shortage existed long before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, and the Soviet Union imported a large amount of coal from abroad every year in exchange for oil in order to make up for the shortage of coal.

It's good that now Donbass, the largest coal production base in the USSR, is in their own hands, otherwise the situation would be even worse! Otherwise, many steel mills, power plants and chemical plants in the USSR would have had to stop or stop production due to a lack of coal!

This problem of coal shortage cannot be solved before the end of the war, because the shortage of coal in the Soviet Union is too large, if you want to rely on imports to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand, according to the latest statistics of the coal sector, at least about 40 million tons of imports per year need to be imported to return to the pre-war level!

Imports are unreliable, if the Soviet Union really relies on imported coal to make up for the shortfall, then the Soviet Union's railways and ports will do other things, and they will pull coal every day!

Now as soon as the Americans heard about the shortage of coal in the Soviet Union, they immediately offered to give assistance to the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union could only say: "Thank you!" No, because the railways and ports here simply can't afford such a large volume of traffic. ”

The United States also said: "Then I will give you steel, it is much easier to transport steel than coal."

The Soviet Union said again: "Thank you so much!" But I don't have to, because even if you bring the steel, I don't have that much electricity to process it. ”

The lack of electricity seriously limited the processing capacity of Soviet factories, or was it because of the lack of coal! As a result, the Soviet Union was unable to quickly process the raw materials it needed into weapons, even if they had access to sufficient raw materials. The Soviet Union had no better solution to this problem than to work on its own, and the only thing that could replace coal for power generation was oil!

However, the cost of generating electricity from oil was too high, and almost every kilowatt-hour of electricity sent was "high-priced" electricity compared to coal, but this would have left the Soviet Union with no choice.

Lin Jun knew the name of "Donbass" in his previous life, and the "Donets coalfield (the full name of Donbass)" can be described as famous, but he didn't expect that the Soviet Union would still lack coal while still controlling it! It's unbelievable!

But the lack of coal is the lack of coal, and now there is a bit of black humor in World War II: Germany turned a lot of coal into "oil" in order to make up for its lack of oil, and the Soviet Union had to burn a lot of oil as "coal" in order to make up for its lack of coal!

On the one hand, there is "oil" at a high price, and on the other hand, there is "electricity" at a high price, and the energy situation on both sides of the Soviet Union and Germany will be almost "half a catty to eight taels"!

Zhukov listened to part of Lin Jun's "conference call", and after Lin Jun finished the call, he spent ten minutes complaining, poking the family of the Soviet industrial association!

Now Zhukov knew that not everyone could be the commander - there were a few generals and marshals who would find out about the troubles of the ring!

Despite the odds, the Soviet generals would still be able to get most of the equipment and supplies they wanted, because the Soviet Union had already staged the world's fastest national transformation - this "transition speed" actually refers to the time it takes for a country to move from a peace mechanism to a wartime system.

When a country moves into a wartime system, it generally does not immediately exert 10 percent of its strength, and often needs a long period of preparation -- a lag period -- before it can bring all its strength into full play.

The Soviet Union had been preparing for a possible major war in the future for 40 years, and this "lag" was equivalent to preparing for more than half of it in peacetime. As soon as the war began, the entire state apparatus of the Soviet Union was mobilized and entered into a complete wartime system, and the production capacity instantly entered the highest peak!

This is hard to imagine in the rest of the world, because this time (lag) can be long and short, such as the historical transition to a wartime system in Germany in early 1943 (a bit unbelievable, this Germany has not yet implemented a wartime system!). It was only at the end of 1944 that the peak of her industrial production was reached, and it took nearly two years in between.

The United States, on the other hand, entered the wartime system in 1941, and it was not until 1944 that its industrial production capacity reached a level close to saturation, and it took three full years in between. Britain switched to a wartime system in 1940, but until the end of the war in 1945, Britain did not really enter the state.

The Soviet Union was the fastest in the world in terms of transformation, and when the Germans were still lazily implementing the eight-hour work day, the Soviet arsenals were already working overtime to produce munitions at full capacity!

And one thing is very important: in the process of industrial production in the Soviet Union, the state decides what factories produce, how much they produce, and how the products are finally distributed, and enterprises do not need to worry about it at all, they only need to complete the production tasks according to the plan.

And when formulating the production plan, the Soviet Union recorded in detail the materials and man-hours used in a bearing, from a large tank to a bullet, and everything within the plan was guaranteed by the country, and everything that was not planned was even an iron nail!

It seems to be an old-fashioned system of pure planning, but it is suitable for war!

It is precisely for this reason that the Soviet Union, when there is a shortage of strategic resources, has always been able to stabilize the supply of materials in a state of basic balance between supply and demand, and in this state of equilibrium, it has concentrated and distributed limited strategic resources to the places where industrial production is most urgently needed, so that the precious strategic resources can be utilized to the greatest extent!

The fact that the USSR was able to create weapons and equipment with the same resources that exceeded the production capacity of any country was determined by the characteristics of the planned economic system!

In wartime, a planned economy is superior to a market economy!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jun received a telegram from Moscow, which was forwarded by Alexander and airlifted.

"It seems that the situation in Yugoslavia is somewhat bad." After reading the first telegram, Lin Jun said to Gusev, and he still had the second telegram in his hand, and the staff officer had already read it, which was a very interesting telegram.

The two teams of liaison officers sent to Yugoslavia were not only liaison officers, but also had more classified tasks. (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.) )
