Standing on the top of Zhanggu Peak after a few days, Lin Jun's view was very different from the last time: the sparse woods of the plain ahead were gone, leaving only the devastation after the war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Everywhere there were craters and charred ground left by the explosion, the marks of tank crushing were clearly visible, and there were piles of car wreckage left by the Japanese army. Within a kilometer from the summit, the soldiers were building semi-permanent fortifications, which were also pushed to the North Korean side according to the plan of Lin Jun and Blyukhel - whoever has the biggest fist is justified! Besides, Comrade People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, who is far away in Moscow, also needs this "one kilometer deep" as a bargaining chip, and it is estimated that he has already begun to fight with the Japanese ambassador in Moscow for 300 rounds, but everyone knows that the Japanese have already lost at the negotiating table.

Negotiations, that needs military backing!

On the morning of October 7, Lin Jun on the plane was alone in deep thought - now the plane was flying to Chita. Since the return trip to Nanjing was not as urgent as it was when coming to the Far East, the plane would stay overnight in Chita and then travel to Ulaanbaatar. Unlike when he arrived, due to the rapid advance of the Japanese army in North China, Lin Jun's plane took off from Ulaanbaatar and then flew to Lanzhou and then to Nanjing.

After returning to Khabarovsk yesterday, Lin Jun met an old acquaintance in the command of the Special Army of the Red Banner in the Far East -- Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky, who had been demoted to the rank of division commander.

Tukhachevsky also didn't expect to meet Lin Jun here, he had known about Lin Jun's coming to the Far East for a long time, but for that delicate reason, he had been avoiding meeting Lin Jun.

Since they met, everyone is also an old acquaintance, and it is not good to hide it as if they don't know each other. Everyone in the top echelons of the Soviet Union understood that this former marshal had been saved by Andrei and Alexander, and that he would probably have been shot without their "careful investigation". Lin Jun invited Tukhachevsky to his temporary residence as a guest, Tukhachevsky was not a timid person, and since Lin Jun was not worried about Moscow's possible suspicions, he did not have to be afraid of anything.

Since arriving in Moscow in 34, Lin Jun has not had such a conversation with the "red god of war" once, that is, when he became a member of the Military Council, and Tukhachevsky had contact with him.

The conversation between the two began with Tukhachevsky's work in the Far East, to Lin Jun's situation in China, and finally to Tukhachevsky's old profession of weaponry and equipment for the current world situation.

"Comrade Andrey, the briefing says that you have achieved a great victory in China."

"It's nothing, it's just that a little Japan was caught off guard, just like here. Compared with the Japanese army, our army and air force have a temporary superiority in weapons and equipment, and their operational thinking has also become outdated. But compared with our potential enemy, Germany, our equipment does not have any advantage, and is even at a disadvantage, and it is not in aviation equipment. ”

"Compared to the Germans, our overall industrial capacity is still at a disadvantage. Next year will be the last year of the Second Five-Year Plan, but by then we will have two-thirds of Germany's steel production at most. "As the head of the armament department of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army for many years, Tukhachevsky was well aware of the Soviet background.

"What worries me the most is the situation of our skilled workforce, which has produced a large number of skilled workers over the years, but even according to the most optimistic estimates, is currently less than half of the skilled workers in Germany. Moreover, judging from the current situation, we will not be able to make all the soldiers have the same quality as the German soldiers for a long time, and we have to admit that the military quality of the German army is the best in the world at present. ”

"So whether it is from soldiers or equipment, we can only win by quantity, and without reducing the core combat capability, we have done a very good job of simplifying the production steps of equipment." Tukhachevsky said.

"Comrade Andrei, with what I know, the type of tank you supported before going to China is in this category, with good quality and simple production.

"This year we captured a German Mercedes Mitt 109 fighter, which is a very good fighter in the words of our designers, but it does not fit our design and equipment ideas, although it is excellent, it is too sophisticated to fit our strategy. You once said that technical equipment is a consumable, as long as it works. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to remember what I said in 36. I told the comrades who designed fighter engines that a few hundred hours of fighter engine life is enough, and there is no need to spend money to design a precision engine with a long service life, which will not only fail to increase production, but will also be difficult for the workers in the manufacturing plant. “

"Haha, at that time, it was rumored that there were still a few comrades who fought with you with red faces and thick necks."

"It's just a different point of view."

"I agree with you, a few hundred hours is enough. I'm a fighter pilot, so I know this: unlike other planes, few fighters can survive 200 hours in a big war. It's not something in a museum, it's just a consumable. ”

Lin Jun clearly remembered that one of the worst evaluations of Soviet-style aircraft in later generations was that the engine life was too short! Unexpectedly, he became one of the "initiators" of such a situation.

When two major powers go to war, it is not a peacetime that a fighter can be used for more than ten or twenty years, and the engine life of thousands of hours can be used by a bird! Not only is it expensive, but it is also troublesome to manufacture, so instead of waiting to be broken into scrap metal, it is better to produce a few more units (it is estimated that some people will have different opinions on this point, and there is no need to express opinions, because you must not use the current concept to think about the situation of World War II.) Someone once calculated the survival time of an average Soviet Red Army soldier in the Battle of Stalingrad - 3 hours! Of course, the correctness of this question remains to be discussed, but what is certain is that the actual life of most of the technical equipment at that time must have been very short. The U.S. Army Air Corps' bomber unit has also made statistics, and the average life span of their bomber crew is three weeks at the peak of the operation, because his plane has been shot down. ）。

The war is about attrition, whoever can afford it will win, a hundred fighters can survive after 200 flight hours at most, Lin Jun and the decision-makers of the Soviet Union will not build fighter engines with a service life of thousands of hours for these few now, at least Lin Jun will not propose it until the end of World War II.

"The war has begun." After Tukhachevsky heard Lin Jun's words, he popped out such a sentence.

"Here we go. Today is China, tomorrow is Europe, and the day after tomorrow is us. ”

"Comrade Andrei, it seems that you, like me, have foreseen that the Germans will have a decisive battle with us."

"It is impossible for communism and fascism to coexist in this world."

Lin Jun repeated to Tukhachevsky what he had said to Stalin, "Everything we are doing at the moment is preparing for that day. ”

"I think you're just as much as I am waiting for that day to come." There seemed to be a glint in Tukhachevsky's eyes - this was a soldier who was born for the war, "Andrey, I have never had the opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for me and several other commanders, thank you!" ”

It can be seen that Tukhachevsky is no longer good at being grateful to others, not because he is now "downcast" - to whom can a marshal be grateful, but also because he has always been a very charismatic and extremely self-confident person, and when Stalin demoted him to the post of commander of the Volga Military District, he responded by resigning, and now his performance is to the maximum.

"No need to commemorate, the Soviets will definitely summon you again, and then the world will know the prestige of the red god of war again!" Lin Jun is being atmospheric for him.

"Comrade Andrey, do not stay away from this center of power in Moscow for too long. I understand your current position and situation, listen to my words: since you have embarked on the road of political struggle, you can only persevere all the way to the end and solve all potential opponents! Comrade Stalin regards you as his successor, and you must not live up to his expectations, and you must show the bearing that a successor should have. Your heart is still too soft, and sometimes you can be more resolute in doing things. ”

Lin Jun and Tukhachevsky talked in the living room of their residence, and Fekochinov sat on the side and listened.

"No one can threaten you when Comrade Stalin is there, but your foundation is still too thin, and when that day you will find that many previously invisible enemies have appeared in a swarm, and only strong strength can be as stable as Mount Tai. Comrade Stalin was well aware of this, and therefore has been cultivating your prestige and power in the army. Politics is a very interesting thing, although I am not very good at it, but I know that whoever grabs the army has a big fist, and local snobbery is not worth mentioning. ”

、、、、、、

The conversation continued until midnight, and after seeing off Tukhachevsky, Lin Jun asked Fekochinov: "How much do you know about him?" ”

"Comrade Andrei, in the future he will be your most powerful help in the army, and when the war breaks out, there will be no one in our army who will be able to take the place of Comrade Tukhachevsky. Add to this the fact that you have good relations with Marshal Blyukhel, and you will have strong support from the military. ”

"Aren't you worried?" Lin Jun asked him suddenly.

"Nothing to worry about. I am your confidential secretary, and my greatest wish is, of course, that you will be able to take up Comrade Stalin's class. If the enemy appears in front of you on that day, I, together with Tukhachevsky, will clear the obstacles for you. ”

It makes sense to keep Fekhachev on the side when talking to Tukhachevsky, and no matter how much Fedochev is sent to him by Stalin, no one will think that he has any conspiracy with Tukhachevsky.

Fekochinov never thought that Lin Jun would oppose Stalin, because he knew as well as Stalin that Lin Jun would never do this. As an entourage, you need to do what your retinue should do, and since the chief wants to reach the top of the pyramid in the future, his only job is to help the chief remove all obstacles.
