Early in the morning, Zhang Shusheng had just finished drinking a cup of Bashu green tea, and Jiang Baili, chief of the general staff, Cai Yi, minister of national defense, and Su Yuren, director of operations of the base camp, came together.

"Chairman, we're giving you good news."

Cai Yi grinned, opened the briefcase directly, took out a thick statistical report on the results, and put it on Zhang Shusheng's table. "If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster, this time we have a big victory."

"Since it's the annunciation, let's talk about the happy events while drinking tea. Yun Xian, serve tea to the three generals, and use my best pot of tea. ”

Zhang Shusheng covered the tea cup, walked to the sofa next to him, sat down first, and motioned for them to sit too, "If you want to smoke, you can smoke, I am also a smoker, and I am not particular." ”

The three of them sat down immediately, Mao Yun served tea first, withdrew, closed the door, and everyone began to talk about business.

"Chairman of the Committee, this time, we have indeed won a big battle." As chief of the General Staff, Jiang Baili was the first to say, "In the Belga air battle, we fought on three fronts, and we achieved tremendous results in the three battlefields, especially in the airspace over the main battlefield in the area of Ulan-Ude-Lake Belga, and our results were particularly great. In the other two directions, the expected goals were basically achieved, destroying a considerable number of Soviet airfields, oil depots, factories and other targets.

In the air battle that day, we used a total of 3,200 fighters and more than 700 bombers, and the total number of fighters approached 4,000. On the main battlefield, we put in more than 2,300 fighters and more than 300 bombers, focusing on bombing all strategic targets in Ulan-Ude. The Soviets, on the other hand, put in a total of more than 4,000 aircraft, the models were very complex, the oldest were the 30s, and the newest was the MiG, which had just left the factory and had not even finished the painting.

For this big air battle, although we mobilized nearly 1.5 times the number of pilots, it was still unusable. The fighter planes took off more than 13,000 sorties that day, and almost every pilot flew twice, or even more. In high-intensity air battles, many pilots got off the plane and fell directly to the ground.

The airport is also fully overloaded, even if we have enough awareness and preparation, but many subsequent batches of fighters can still only land on the lawn, or even flat ground, pilots and airport engineers, in order to serve these constantly taking off aircraft, many people are tired and fall on the ground. ”

"Yes, according to Deputy Commander Liu Yaya of the Air Force, some pilots were injured and did not go to the hospital at all, and went to the sky again with gauze. At noon, when the air battle was at its most tense, none of the pilots had time to eat lunch, and even when they returned to the ground, they hurried to rest for a while and hurriedly took off again. However, it was because of this that we ended up with a big victory. Cai Ye also commented. On that day, we shot down more than 1,100 Soviet fighters, and it is difficult to count the number of casualties, but according to our repeated calculations, on the first day of the air battle, which was also the most intense, we annihilated at least one-third of the total number of Soviet planes in Siberia. This also directly leads to the fact that they will be at a disadvantage in the next air battle, switching from active defense to passive defense. And looking at our losses, in fact, they are not large, and the losses of pilots are even lighter, mainly because our planes pay more attention to the protection of pilots, and the parachute escape system is also stronger than that of the Soviets. ”

"A very brilliant victory indeed."

Zhang Shusheng nodded affirmatively, this big air battle did show momentum and played a scene.

And even the air battles that took place in the English Channel at the same time were far less. The air battle between Britain and Germany is also a refueling war, both sides are constantly having planes to join the battlefield, often from daytime to night, but Britain and Germany did not form a super-large-scale air battle after all, for many reasons, but it is related to the combat intentions of the German [***] high-level.

On the Soviet-German battlefield, the situation is the opposite, there are too many theaters of operations, and the range is too large, which leads to the use of aircraft very scattered, one today to support here, and tomorrow to bomb there. The day after tomorrow, enemy planes attacked again, and it was another small air battle.

On the contrary, like Siberia, there is no danger to defend, and there are no big cities to fight large-scale street battles to attack and defend, but the two sides can decide the victory and defeat in one fell swoop and concentrate their forces to fight a decisive battle. Even if either side wants not to fight a decisive battle, once it is suppressed to the ground and there is no air threat, the powerful tank and armored forces of the other side will quickly rush into these small cities, and then pull them out one by one, and finally form a rapid occupation.

The victory is great, but the loss is also not small, but relatively speaking, it can be ignored.

Zhang Shusheng pointed to the above number of his own injuries and said, "These sacrificed or injured pilots should be given generous pensions in accordance with the pension regulations as soon as possible, and we must especially find out that there are special difficulties in their families, and we must take the initiative to go through the procedures and apply for additional pensions for them."

The so-called wealth and money, resources and land, in fact, are nothing, and there are so many enemies that we can grab them as much as we can. What is truly precious is our own people, and every soldier is a family behind him, and they have relatives and friends, these are our race.

Whether we are politicians or soldiers, although we cannot be bad people and mislead the big with the small, we should also distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and to the people, those are compatriots whose blood dissolves in water.

Although war cannot be avoided, we try to minimize their casualties, and we can solve the worries of these soldiers who sacrificed for the country and even let them live well. ”

As Cai Yi, who is in charge of this work, he immediately promised, "Chairman of the committee, rest assured, even if I, Cai Yi, can't eat or live in a house, I will never let these soldiers who sacrificed for the country die blindly." As a minister, I am worthy of the heavens, the chairman of the NPC National Committee, the state and the government, the earth, and the millions of soldiers and their relatives behind them. ”

Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction, and the topic turned to air combat again.

Speaking of air battles, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help reminding, "The most important thing for us to achieve such an unprecedented victory this time is that we have been preparing for decades, and the Wehrmacht Air Force has been dormant for decades before it can make a splash and sweep the Soviet Army with absolute superiority." Although there are a large number of advanced aircraft, the Soviet army is at an absolute disadvantage compared with our second- and third-generation aircraft.

Although we are now ahead of the rest of the world, we have not yet decided to take the lead, and we must not take it lightly, at least until more advanced fighters officially enter the battlefield, we must carefully maintain this huge air superiority. ”

Jiang Baili: "That's what the chairman said. The outcome of this air war is roughly decided, and even if the Soviets get the support of the Americans, Siberia will be our sky, so that the land war will be much easier. The capture of Ulan-Ude, the occupation of the entire Lake Berga region, will also be put on the agenda. ”

Zhang Shusheng: "I have also taken into account this problem, it is not realistic to rely solely on the army to garrison the vast newly occupied territory, and the traditional garrison troops are also easy to take care of one at the expense of the other.

At present, our population is close to 600 million, and the problem of insufficient high-quality arable land in China is becoming more and more prominent.

In some densely populated provinces, such as southwest, eastern, central, and southern China, most households have less than one mu of arable land per household. Some even have only a few fields.

It's not that the government doesn't give them land, but because the population is so large that there is no land to divide, it can't cut down all the trees on the mountains to make arable land.

Siberia, on the other hand, has vast land, and the Russians there seem to be collective farms, but in fact a person may have tens or even hundreds of acres of land on average.

Why is it that our people can only defend one acre and three points of land, while they can plunder and rob our North Sea to fatten their people?

Let's not mention that the North Sea is our territory in the first place, and such fertile land, even if it is not ours, must be snatched back. The world is so big, we don't want it, it's just cheaper for others. It is better to let others develop than to let yourself develop better. The whole of Siberia is the size of the Soviet Union and the population of the Soviet Union in the region is not as large as the population of one of our provinces.

Why should they occupy huge farms for nothing?

Therefore, I will never agree to give up the land that we have set to occupy, and there is no distinction between wartime and post-war, and wherever we fight, it is wartime, and we begin to transform the local area into our territory, which is post-war.

In addition, as I have said many times, these territories, since they are occupied, they are ours. From the day of the occupation, it was immediately renamed the Chinese-speaking city, and all municipal work, including map-making and publishing, was immediately carried out. Those Soviets, who do not want to live in the collective villages of Soviet Russia, do not want to be citizens of the first class, then we can not kill them, but we must repatriate them, send them all back to the north, or to the west, to the east, and let the Soviets receive them.

We can't give any supplies, they want to stay or leave, let them decide for themselves, and if they want to stay, we will set aside collective villages in Soviet Russia, register their household registration, open Chinese language schools, and allocate enough food for them to live. If you want to leave, you can't take a handful of dirt with you.

In addition, we have a large number of old weapons in stock, which in our opinion are old, but in the Soviet-German theater and the Far Eastern theater, those Chinese-style single-shot rifles are very advanced. Once the Great Migration Program began, each Han village formed a patrol platoon, organized as a reserve, trained in paramilitarization, and fully rationed with weapons and ammunition to deter Russian civilians and possible guerrillas. In fact, Zhang Shusheng knows very well that the guerrillas also need to be built on the basis of population, and the vast Siberia is boundless, and what kind of guerrilla warfare can people fight in the ice and snow? At that time, even a very small number of Soviet and Russian guerrillas will be quickly wiped out by the patrol platoon of each village, or by the armored mobile units stationed there.

"Yes, Chairman, once Ulan-Ude is finally captured and occupies the Lake Belga area, the army will cooperate with the civil affairs department."

Expanding the territory is a thing that everyone likes, the kings of all dynasties, the greatest dream is such a feat, and now, the republic can take back the North Sea, and it is even possible to eat the huge fat potato of Siberia in one go, what a glorious thing it will be.

Just think about it, even if you don't count the subsequent occupation of land, even if you have one more Siberia, the map of China will immediately change from a 'quasi-rooster' to a golden rooster with a huge golden pagoda. And the territory of the Soviet Union will soon become a Chinese city.

Although Cai Ye is not young, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly at this time, "Chairman, this is the first time I have heard you say in person that we will never return the land we occupied, this is really a big thing."

Chairman of the National People's Congress, just thinking about it, the tens of millions of square kilometers of land in Siberia are enough to be the size of our existing China. And the entire Soviet Union had less than 200 million people, but we have 600 million. This is not fair.

I would like to express my strong support for the recapture of these territories.

We only have a population of 600 million now, but what about ten years from now? Twenty years later? What about a hundred years from now? We may have two billion, or even five billion Chinese, at that time, how can we rely on China itself, even if we add Southeast Asia and North Korea? We necessarily need Siberia, we need Central Asia, we need more territory.

The land that feeds our people and provides the resources we need is the necessary foundation for our nation to take off in its entirety. ”

Cai Yi's words represented the thoughts of Jiang Baili and Su Yuren, and the two were also excited.

Su Yuren said, "Yes, chairman, Hitler did not dare to occupy those lands permanently, so he could only give them to other client states, because they were sparsely populated and could not be occupied. And we, absolutely have the ability to digest these fertile lands. ”

"The creativity, survival ability, and fighting ability of the sons and daughters of China surpass that of other nations, not to mention Siberia, even Africa, as long as there is something better that can make them survive, they will fight."

Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but think of the scene in the future, hundreds of millions of people went north, occupied Siberia, or even more territory, the actual jurisdiction of each village, as big as a town in the interior, every household has a large piece of farmland that can not be seen, people only need to sit at the door of the house, can see the green crops, driving the crawler farming machinery that has been used for agricultural purposes, can produce food for ten people alone.

With a population of less than 30 million, the Soviets were entrenched in the vast Siberia, which was too tyrannical, and if it were China, then even the population of a province could be moved over to make the land more valuable.

Zhang Shusheng's idea is unprecedentedly firm, not to mention other places for the time being, since the Soviet Union is so close, there is a ready-made Trans-Siberian Railway, a complete land border, it is really a loss not to grab some territory.

He saw far ahead...... "I want to realize a dream that the body of a Chinese dragon will one day be across the Eurasian continent." Her head will drink water in the Arctic Ocean, and its tail will dance in waves south of the Strait of Malacca. ”

And the first step he has to do is to let the Chinese go to Siberia to make a fortune.
