After Roosevelt came to power, he immediately started the pace of the New Deal, which included breaking away from the gold standard, banning the export of American gold, and stopping the exchange of US dollars for gold.
This move by the United States immediately dealt a blow to the international credit of the dollar, and Western countries no longer dared to hold the dollar and sold it one after another.
But trade can not be interrupted, even if international trade has shrunk eighty percent, but there is still necessary trade, trade is in progress, it needs to be settled, it needs to settle the currency, more and more countries will exchange the trade currency for gold dollar coupons, only accept gold dollar coupons for trade settlement, so the demand for gold dollar coupons in Europe is increasing, and even caused the actual price of gold dollar coupons to rise sharply during this time, which has exceeded the prescribed gold ratio.
The strength of the gold dollar has made Europe's trade exports to China increase significantly, resulting in an increase in China's trade deficit, in just one year, has lost 1,000 tons of gold, and with the withdrawal of the dollar from the gold standard market, the world's financial pressure is pressed on China's financial system, it is conceivable that the loss of gold will intensify, which makes Zhang Jiaao has planned to take measures to restrict the import and export of yellow, and even does not rule out the gold dollar bonds out of the gold standard.
Yang Chao did not have time to talk too much about the United States with Schacht, but only expressed his willingness to accept the goodwill of the Rockefeller consortium, and if the Rockefeller consortium could persuade the US government to establish diplomatic relations with China, China would not refuse, and the premise of establishing diplomatic relations was to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act.
After the talks with Schacht, Yang Chao immediately focused on the war.
After Rommel's Fourth Army drove to the front line, it rested on the spot and built forward fortifications, while Zhang Zuolin led the First Army to advance a little more than the Fourth Army, building artillery positions at a distance of 15 kilometers from the port of Angara, and carrying out a large fire covering strike on the port of Angara, and the air force bombed the port of Angara and Usolije strategically.
Zhang Zuolin led the First Army as a reserve and artillery units to support in the rear, and the task of breaking through the Angara defense line fell on the head of the Fourth Army. After the fire coverage was completed, Rommel's troops were immediately ordered to launch an attack.
The battle was fought extremely hard, although Rommel's armament was far superior to that of the Soviet army. The situation of the Soviet army was more difficult than expected, because after cutting off contact with the rear, they lacked clothes and clothing, and the key point was that they could not even guarantee food. It seems to have returned to the years of famine.
After the attempt to attack Irkutsk was repulsed, they began to prepare for defense with all their strength, but the situation continued to deteriorate, and the supply of 1 million troops was far from guaranteed by a small airdrop every day, and a large number of soldiers fell ill due to malnutrition and severe cold. Lying in the hospital with no care and treatment.
The whole army is filled with a pessimistic mood, if it is in the country this pessimistic mood can often make people run away, but this is thousands of miles away in Siberia, to run away is to die, fearless revolutionary fighters also have fear, but fear did not make them surrender, but made them crazy, deep in their hearts, under all kinds of propaganda, long ago the world outside Soviet Russia. Having become the home of demons, hostile to the outside world, and operating in the Soviet Russian model in the name of science, these people are now as oblivious and crazy as crusader holy warriors.
When their artillery, which lacked shells, was suppressed by the Tsar's artillery, and when their anti-aircraft guns, which were too small in caliber, could not penetrate the armor of the Tsar's tanks, some fighters began to lose their minds and rush out in a frenzy. He stabbed the tank with a bayonet, only to be cut in half by the tank's heavy machine gun.
But this dismal result did not frighten the other fighters, but inspired them, so many fighters began to rush to the tank with explosives bags. It really blew up a lot of tanks.
"The Angara must be captured today, no matter what the cost!"
Faced with the predicament from the front, Yang Chao's attitude did not change, like an iron-blooded general issuing orders.
Zhang Zuolin wanted such an order, and he immediately set up thousands of heavy machine guns behind the Fourth Army, and if there were anyone who escaped. will shoot without hesitation, counting on these enthusiastic volunteers, who can charge in the sea of swords and fire without fear, there is no other way, only killing, only fear, only make them desperate.
As for the loss of tanks, weapons and equipment, it is not a problem, as for the loss of personnel, the Americans have a stronger ability to master tanks than anyone else, and China's tank production is also stronger than anyone else, with a loss of a hundred vehicles at the front, and Yang Chao can supply two hundred.
After three days of continuous attack, it finally broke through the first line of defense of the Soviet army, and then rushed to the second line of defense, which took two days, and the third line of defense took only one day, and the Soviet army was obviously at the end of its strong crossbow.
But after three lines of defense, they pushed into the bombed-up town of Angara, intending to put up a stubborn resistance.
Angara is a river port, although the scale is not large, but it has a large number of warehouse-type buildings, and all of them use reinforced concrete structures, because the construction time is not long, so it is relatively strong, even if the carpet bombing, these buildings can not be completely blown into rubble, there are still some buildings dilapidated, full of sores, but strong not to fall, at this time these ruins and broken walls become the best defense, hiding behind is the position, the Soviet army intends to fight street fighting.
At this time, the Fourth Army stopped, and the Third Army, composed of Japanese, rushed forward, but suffered heavy casualties.
"Let the tanks of the Fourth Army support. Street by street. With artillery, there are tanks, blow the city to the ground! ”
Yang Chao gave the order, and he thought of Starlingler, but even Starlingrad could not stop his determination.
Yang Chao didn't know how many people the Soviet army had gathered in Angara, but everyone seemed to be not afraid of death, and it was obvious that the other party regarded this place as his own grave.
Bombing planes in the sky, roaring artillery on the ground, and then tanks coming forward, street by street, house by house, but it was still difficult to clear the other side, the Soviet army drilled into the sewers, through the streets, the dilapidated houses, and started a guerrilla war in the city.
Heavy casualties, both of the Soviet army and of the Tsarist Order.
Ten days have passed, and ice floes have appeared on the surface of the river, slowly flowing downstream, rushing towards the Arctic Ocean.
The Soviets in the area of Teschet had already begun to move, and reconnaissance planes were concerned that they were starting to set off, apparently intending to rescue the Angara companions.
Taishet is about 300 kilometers away from Zima, as long as they can reach Zima, they will be able to meet the Soviet troops in Angara Port and Usoliye, and when the time comes, whether to break through and retreat, or to join forces inside and outside, the Soviet army will have the initiative.
"Within three days, we must take this place, use incendiary bombs, and burn all those reinforced concrete to glass!"
Yang Chao continued to give cold-blooded orders, he must not allow this lone army on the front line to get help from the rear. (To be continued.) )
