[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 842: Ma Zheng's Costume Change Plan (Subscription Requested!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

As of April '40, in just 10 months, Huaxia had produced a total of nearly $250 million worth of penicillin, but received orders of as much as $1.2 billion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is this concept, it may not be a small amount of sales compared to the big companies of later generations, but in this era, $250 million is a huge amount of money. You must know that the annual income of the US government during the same period was only 1,200 US dollars, while Huaxia Company sold 250 million US dollars in just ten months, which is not counting the construction period of nearly 3 months.

According to Huaxia's estimates, the company's production capacity can quadruple this year, and it will be able to produce at least $2 billion of drugs by the end of the year.

In addition, Huaxia discovered a large number of oil fields under the land purchased in East Texas, and discovered many gold mines in other parts of the United States, etc., and in just one year, Huaxia's assets expanded rapidly.

With the concept of making money for everyone, Huaxia Company pulled giants such as Rockefeller, Morgan and DuPont into the water after these big projects were launched, so it attracted a group of allies.

Therefore, although many people already know that the Huaxia Company may be behind the Chinese government or a Chinese consortium, and the purpose of this company is to serve the ongoing Sino-Japanese War, almost everyone acquiesces to the existence of Huaxia Company driven by interests.

Although the Japanese government has repeatedly protested and demanded that the US government severely punish Huaxia Company, the US government has ignored the Japanese government because of the huge tax revenue, so that the relationship between the United States and Japan has gradually deteriorated.

With Huaxia Company, the old hen that lays golden eggs, Ma Zheng suddenly felt that he had become a landlord's old wealth, and his hands were naturally a lot more generous. In addition to purchasing the production line of T26 tanks from the Soviet government, Ma Zheng also wanted the Soviet government to request the purchase of warships, but no agreement was reached under the clouds of the Soviet-German war.

However, the US government did not have such concerns, and under the guidance of the Rockefeller family, the Huaxia Company directly took over the two cruisers, four destroyers and six torpedo boats that the US Navy was about to decommission, in addition to ordering five heavy cruisers and one supply ship, and these warships are expected to be delivered to the Huaxia Company within six months.

In addition, Huaxia Company has also reached an agreement with the US Government that Huaxia Company will fund the training of a group of qualified naval officers and men in the US Government's substitution, and will use US naval bases for a fee during the training period.

This is a world of capital, in the world of capital, money is omnipotent, under the opening of a large amount of funds from Huaxia Company, Ma Zheng's plan is almost unimpeded.

As a result of a series of large-scale resource integration, the number of factories and enterprises in various parts of the Suicha Military Region has been reduced by three-quarters, but the production capacity has increased by nearly 70 percent.

Immediately, Ma Zheng issued an order to major arsenals and other enterprises to produce at full speed, and at the same time formulated a grand plan, that is, by the end of 40 years, the military region's existing eight infantry divisions and eight independent brigades totaling 250,000 regular field troops will be reequipped.

Regarding the neutrality treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan this time, Ma Zheng could only express helplessness, and what should come will come after all, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Although he had a hunch beforehand, and even in order to obtain more materials before the signing of the neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan, Ma Zheng ordered $200 million worth of materials from the Soviet Union at one time, including weapons and equipment and a large amount of industrial equipment.

However, when the news came, Ma Zheng was still quite dissatisfied with the treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan, because some of the contents in it were really unacceptable, especially the fact that the Soviet Union went so far as to recognize "Manchukuo" and at the same time recognize Japan's interests in North China, which was a serious insult and betrayal to the "Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact."

Moreover, in order to avoid angering the Japanese, the Soviet Union began to reduce after the signing of the treaty and stopped supporting China's war of resistance after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, and at the same time withdrew its volunteer pilots in China, depriving China of an important source of materials for the war of resistance, which was a very heavy blow to the Chinese who were fighting bloodily against the Japanese invaders.

In addition, after the signing of this neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan, the Chinese government, which had lost the mother's milk of the Soviet Union, was bound to usher in an even more serious national crisis. The pro-Japanese faction will certainly not miss this excellent opportunity, and will certainly vigorously spread the fallacy that the anti-Japanese will perish, and will even openly defect to the Japanese invaders.

In fact, it is precisely because during this period of history that during this period of history, there were 58 high-ranking Kuomintang generals who defected to the enemy, more than 20 members of the Kuomintang Central Committee below the vice president level, and as many as 500,000 troops who defected to the enemy, accounting for 62% of the total number of puppet troops. Therefore, it can be seen how harmful the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty" was, and its appearance greatly aggravated the difficult situation of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Ma Zheng did not want to see this, so he felt that it was necessary to stand up and clarify his position, even if it did not fundamentally help the situation, but it could show the Chinese people that the Chinese would not grovel to the enemy because they had lost an unreliable ally.

However, for this Su Ri peace, Ma Zheng was angry and a little excited at the same time, and the reason for his anger was not to be said, it was already very clear above.

As for the little excitement in Ma Zheng's heart, it can be imagined, Ma Zheng has always been very worried about whether his appearance will cause Japan to change its established strategy, not to develop southward, but to adopt the strategy of northward, which will be a disaster for the whole of China and even the world.

There are many people who say that whether Japan goes south or north, the end result is still the same. After all, Japan's national strength is there, and no matter how powerful the python is, it is impossible to devour the elephant. What's more, in terms of the domestic and international situation at that time, going south was the best choice for Japan.

Proceeding from reality, if Japan wants to attack the Soviet Union, it must first consider the offensive line, and from the perspective of geography and other factors, Japan may have three offensive routes: First, starting from northeast China, Japan can attack the Soviet Far East, and the target will be the Trans-Khingan Mountains and the Siberian region of the Soviet Union, but this area is vast and sparsely populated. Large areas of land were barren and of little strategic and economic value, and it would be extremely difficult to attack the European part of the Soviet Union from here.

The other route was to attack the Soviet Union from Mongolia, but Japan had hit a wall here, and it was unrealistic to go here, after all, there were millions of Soviet troops guarding here, and it was not easy to get by.

However, this is the most reasonable route, and it is either too far or too difficult to go from other places, and if you want to consider fighter planes, this is the best choice, but Japan will not choose this place easily.

The third route is also very reasonable, but it is more problematic, from China's Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang, and then attack the Soviet Union. The effort is greater, and the geography is just as complex. The climate is also extremely harsh, and more importantly, the Yellow River is a difficult obstacle to overcome.

At this time, China's War of Resistance had entered a stalemate stage, and the Japanese army's all-out attack on the Kuomintang had stopped, and it began to carry out local offensives and wipe out the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines. In such a situation, if Japan had to attack the Soviet Union in the north, it would inevitably have to mobilize a large number of troops to the north, and this would create an emptiness on the battlefield in China, and Japan did not want to see this situation.

As for the Chinese side, the Kuomintang was defeated by Japan in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and suffered heavy losses, and if Japan really went north, the Kuomintang would stop and take a breath, while the Eighth Route Army was different, in the empty places of the Japanese army, they would take the opportunity to vigorously develop their troops, regain lost territory, and lead the war to the areas ruled by Japan, and the Kuomintang would probably watch and fight with the Japanese, and hide behind themselves to continue the armed forces.

Therefore, if Japan attacked the Soviet Union, whichever way it went, it would be confronted by the powerful Soviet Far Eastern Army. When talking about the reason why they could not defeat Japan, the Kuomintang always cited the excuse for the defeat as the fact that the weapons and firepower were inferior to the Japanese army, and often said that the firepower of one division of the Japanese army exceeded the level of one army, but what would happen to the Japanese army if it faced the Soviet army.
