Chapter 366: Worst-Case Scenario (Part I)

What's more, the shadow of the defeat of the Tsarist Russian Navy, which had absolute superiority in the Battle of the Russian Sea, has stimulated the Soviet Navy to this day, and the size and hull equipment of the Soviet Navy are indeed far from being the opponent of the Imperial Navy, so the main force of the fleet of the United Wing still frightened Stalin by cruising Vladivostok.

The huge fleet of four aircraft carriers, six battleships, 37 cruisers, and more than 50 destroyers under the main force of the combined fleet made Stalin shudder, and the army of the empire may have despised or even ignored it, but the navy of the empire had a deterrent power that shocked the entire Soviet Union.

Obviously, he himself has fallen into an inexplicable madness, and the main forces and energies of the Soviet Union are concentrated in Europe, Germany's strong and powerful has made the Soviet Union and the whole of Europe feel uneasy, and the appeasement of Britain and France has also developed to an unprecedented extent, it can be said that the Germans are Jackal light tanks, Panther medium tanks, Tiger heavy tanks, BF-109G fighters, German Skatu attack aircraft, four-engine fortress bombers, new field heavy howitzers, The German war machine was boosted by the large quantities of rare metals and tungsten ore imported from China, and the new weapons shocked Britain and France, as well as the Soviets, who worked with Rehe and had some knowledge of the German military system.

The Soviet Union thought that the advanced tank design seemed to be backward before it was produced, and the design drawings of the new tank provided by Zhang Xuewu seemed to be able to fight against the mysterious Tiger heavy tank, and the Soviet Union had fallen too far behind in the air force, if it were not for the help of Rehe to produce fortress heavy bombers, the Soviet Union would not have long-range heavy bomber technology now! Moreover, the design of the Battle Fortress obtained by the Soviet side did not include a sealed hyperbaric chamber, and all the Battle Fortress heavy bombers were secretly retrofitted after returning to Baotou.

Therefore, Stalin's hysteria frightened Stalin, because although the Soviet Union carried out the great development of the five-year plan, it was still unable to deal with the world's largest naval fleet, the United Fleet, which he had established since the Meiji Restoration! Since 1933, after a long and difficult negotiation in Washington, he finally withdrew from the Washington system, and the navy of the empire has undergone a four-year golden development, and its largest battleship Yamato and sister ship Musashi were also decided to be built during this period, and the Soviet Navy has basically not been developed after the continuous suppression and rebellion of the Soviet Union, and its warships are basically old antiques from the Tsarist period, just like the Beiyang Fleet that was completely wiped out that year. In the more than 30 years after the violent revolution, the Russians added a total of 100,000 tons of light cruisers and destroyers to the three major fleets of the Russian navy, which were not at all opponents at the same strategic level as the imperial navy.

Stalin summoned Admiral Lottsov, the commander of the Navy, in his luxurious office in the Kremlin, and Stalin, dressed in his favorite white uniform and wearing the Order of the Supreme Marshal of the Soviet Union, glanced at Lottsov and motioned for Lottsov to sit across from him.

In the face of the horrors that followed the Great Purge, Rear Admiral Lottsov, who was originally nothing more than the chief of staff of the First Detachment of the Black Sea Fleet of the USSR Navy, was promoted to commander-in-chief of the USSR Navy within two years? What made Lottsov even more creepy was that there were sixty-seven lieutenant generals, generals, and marshals before him, who were killed in just two years, and Lottsov knew that his qualifications and abilities could not control the Soviet Navy, but he had been pushed into this position.

In the face of Stalin's inquiry, Lottsov hesitated and said: "Great Comrade Stalin, judging from the actual situation of the Soviet Navy now, we are relatively far behind the Empire in terms of ship equipment, but the heroic officers and men of the Red Army and Navy of the Soviet Union will carry forward the spirit of one enemy and one hundred, and if the enemy dares to attack, we will defeat them, completely defeat them, and land in Yamaben!" ”

Stalin glanced at Lottsov, Lottsov's answer made him very satisfied, the secret military delegation of the Soviet Union has gone to the German side, for Finland, the Soviet Union's henchman, Stalin must be solved, so the Soviet Union must reach an agreement with the Germans, Hitler gave Stalin the impression of a very capable ultra-nationalist, such a guy is very difficult to deal with once he goes crazy.

Germany's strong Stalin has been verified from the information provided by Zhang Xuewu, especially rocket technology, Stalin has almost concentrated the relevant experts of the entire Soviet Union, but the progress of research is still very slow, according to the description of experts in relevant specialties, if you want to thoroughly absorb and improve these technologies It will take at least two or three years, which means that the Germans have come to the front of the great Soviet Union, which Stalin could not tolerate, if Germany's military strength has allowed Britain and France and other countries to implement appeasement policies, Then the USSR should not be an enemy of Germany either.

And Stalin believed that if there was nothing to do with Germany, then the Soviet Union needed more strategic buffer space, Finland was already regarded by Stalin as a meal on the plate, and the buffer between Germany and the Soviet Union, Stalin set his sights on Poland! Partition of Poland with the Germans, Britain and France spit on themselves at most, the selfish British, the unruly French, the lonely and paranoid Americans, they can't stop the rise of the Germans, just like Zhang Xuewu is not taken care of and protected by the Soviet Union, Stalin can be sure that Zhang Xuewu is a difficult guy like Zhang Zuolin, that is, he wants everything you give, but there is no way to get an inch of land! For the sake of land, he can fight all his strength, and he can shed rivers of blood, and Stalin, who lacks reason, dislikes it very much.

Now that his combined fleet has demonstrated to the Soviet side, the Germans have clearly abandoned the Chinese side and have reached some secret agreements with the Soviet Union instead, and now very few German supplies have arrived at the Dingyuan camp in Suiyuan through the Soviet Union, and more materials have been transported by sea from Las Vegas on the American side to the Soviet Union, and then arrived in the Far East after transshipment.

Stalin was also very curious about where Zhang Xuewu's foreign aid was. Can he use the power of a mysterious organization to support such a large military organization as Zhang Xuewu? Stalin also developed a certain interest in this rich and powerful Chinese mysterious organization, but this organization was obviously not within the scope of his influence, and Stalin doubted whether Zhang Xuewu obeyed the orders of this mysterious organization behind the scenes. Or is Zhang Xuewu the head of this mysterious organization?
