Chapter 380: Extremely Strong (Medium)

Even if the resources and strength of the whole country can be mobilized now, and more talents will return to China to serve, what Zhang Xuewu lacks most is time, at least ten months, the factory needs to be adjusted, skilled workers and industrial workers need to be trained, the troops need to be reorganized and trained, and the production and installation of weapons and equipment need more time.

1940 was a very critical time for Zhang Xuewu, and he must completely eliminate the Yue army entrenched in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region of central China by March, and use the army to directly approach Jinzhou to prepare for the strategy of recovering Jinzhou, showing China's strength to the world with a strong image, and only in this way can Zhang Xuewu win more bargaining chips in the future world war.

In fact, Zhang Xuewu felt that Chiang Kai-shek did not see as thoroughly as he did on the issue of Americans, what kind of people are Americans? For the sake of their own interests, they can not hesitate to give themselves two atomic bombs, the United States is a typical self can be shameless, but do not allow others to be shameless, even if in later generations they return to the post-World War I pattern and act as a horse boy for the American boss, but if the core interests of the United States are touched, the Americans will once again give themselves two bigger atomic bombs without hesitation!

Of course, he himself belongs to the kind of goods that remember to eat but not to remember, and it is a compliment to say that he is a two-skinned face, and the Americans have a very significant characteristic, that is, when their own interests are threatened, looking back on the entire period of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, what did the Americans do to the book before and after? When the sword was aimed at Southeast Asia and swept across the Pacific, it was not until the undeclared attack on Pearl Harbor that the Americans were forced to declare war on the closed door to trade. Following the principle of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", let Ivan and Hans fight to the death on the Eastern Front! It can be said that the overall strategic goal of the United States has been achieved, although Sam and Ivan are also opponents, but both sides are in front of Hans's gun, or they are united as a group, so when the smoke of Berlin has not yet dissipated, the two immediately look at each other angrily and want to compete for the high.

In order to protect itself and objectively help the fascist aggressors during the war, the United States formulated the "Lend-Lease Act" in March 1941 to aid the anti-fascist countries. During the entire period of World War II, the United States supplied China with a total of $825 million in Lend-Lease materials, and in fact, in addition to the embezzlement by the British and the Americans, the losses on the way and the so-called expenses were all taken into account, it can be said that the Chinese side actually received less than $500 million in belated ordnance.

And some people are still talking about what is the indiscriminate use of corruption in the country, how much US aid materials have been corrupted, and so on? In fact, the materials of US aid are not systematic armaments, but what is given to China in the European battlefield. The key is that these materials have always been controlled and distributed by the Americans, and the Chinese have no idea at all, how can they be corrupt? Simply ridiculous and generous? The so-called corruption refers to most of the aviation tonnage, which is controlled by Stilwell, not that you can do what you want, Stilwell used American aid materials to jam China's neck and suck away China's most elite troops, and these aids were exchanged for blood by the Chinese people! So there is simply no question of who to thank!

Compared with the fact that Britain received more than $30 billion in aid in history, the Soviet Union also received more than $10 billion in aid during the Soviet-German war, but China, which shed the most blood, only had less than 500 million? Is this a joke? People must be self-reliant, show self-worth, you will have value! All Zhang Xuewu has to do is to let the United States and Britain give themselves a good price in the future! Since it is destined to bleed, then it must also be worth shedding.

Zhang Xuewu remembers that by the end of 1941, the Soviet Union had received nearly a thousand tanks from Britain and the United States. Of these, 750 were in Britain and 180 in the United States, and at that time, the Red Army was engaged in a difficult ground battle, so many tanks aided by the United States and Britain participated in fierce ground battles, including the famous Battle of Moscow. According to statistics, during World War II, the Soviet Union acquired more than 130,000 tanks of various types from the United States and Britain.

In addition, the Soviet Union also used armor steel provided by the United States and Britain to build many tanks, and after the end of World War II, Zhukov, a senior general of the Red Army, once told a European writer that if there was no finished steel armor from the United States, how could we produce so many tanks?

According to historical statistics, during World War II, the armor steel aided by the allies accounted for about half of the total production of the Soviet Union, so on the battlefield of World War II, many of the tanks produced by the Soviet Red Army were armored steel aided by the United States and Britain.

In fact, the Soviet-German war was expected and unexpected, the paralysis of the Soviet side led to its huge losses in the early stage of the war, Germany launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union after successfully implementing political and military deception, due to the lack of defense of the Soviet army, the western border was broken through, a large number of Soviet weapons and equipment were destroyed, and in the first few days of the war, almost all the western border of the Soviet Union and its nearby airfields were subjected to fierce air raids, and more than 1,000 warplanes were damaged.

Fighter planes are the main weapon for rapid combat and air supremacy, and a large number of Soviet air forces have been damaged in the west, which directly affects the confrontation with the German army, and the United States and Britain, which do not want to see Hitler dominate Europe, have therefore decided to strengthen military aid to the Soviet Union.

It can be said that the United States, which had not yet formally entered the war, mainly provided weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union in accordance with the Lend-Lease Act passed, and Britain, which was in the whirlpool of war, became the first country to provide fighter planes to the Soviet Union, and the fighter planes aided by Britain were "Hurricanes", which were equipped with four 20-millimeter guns and eight machine guns, and could carry 454 kg of bombs to carry out bombing.

Some "Hurricane" fighters were also equipped with extremely advanced forty-millimeter anti-tank guns at that time, because Britain was still fighting, the powerful United States gradually became the main country to aid the Soviet Union, after the American fighters were disassembled, they were generally transported to the Soviet Union by aircraft carriers or other ships, and there were three main routes to the Soviet Union, one to the northeast, one to the northwest, and one to the south! Among them, the most difficult route was from Alaska, the closest to the Soviet Union in the United States, to the northeastern coast of the Soviet Union, and then to Krasnoyarsk in central Siberia.

If the United States can provide China with $20 billion in weapons during World War II, then Zhang Xuewu guarantees that once the US Pacific Fleet defeats the United Fleet, China will be able to build the largest navy in Asia to assist the land in the landing!
