Chapter 797: Battle of Persia (7)
It is the hottest season of the year, and the city of Beijing is much duller. This summer was difficult, the once-in-a-century Yangtze River flood caused serious damage to Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi provinces, and even Song Weichen's Wuhan shipyard was submerged, resulting in damage to seven landing ships, two submarines, and three destroyers that were being outfitted.
The floods on the Yangtze River are a source of concern, but the wars in Afghanistan and Persia are the ones that worry the whole country the most. Afghanistan has been fighting for more than a year, and although the initial progress went smoothly, after the Soviet-Afghan border was recovered, because China and the Soviet Union had not officially started the war, Sun Chuanfang's three infantry divisions were restrained to defend the border. You must know that because of the limited transportation capacity, only seven divisions and one mountain brigade have entered Afghanistan, and half of the energy is spent on the confrontation border, and the remaining half is to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops entrenched in Herat and using the plateau and mountainous areas to fortify layer by layer, which is very insufficient. Therefore, Sun Chuanfang has been asking the Air Force to increase support, but with the start of the Iranian war, most of the Air Force's energy has been held back by the Kashgar-Persian Gulf route, so the force invested in Afghanistan is temporarily much smaller.
In the garden of the presidential palace, I know that the twitter is noisy and noisy.
Miao Luo is now the leader of the national women's rights and interests protection activities, so during this time, he mainly spent time in the National Assembly, universities, and factories, and often went to the countryside to learn about the situation on the spot, and was busy revising the Marriage Law and the Law on the Rights and Interests of Women and Children. Lu Bicheng is the money bag of the Yang family, from West Asia to South America, as long as she is interested in making money. Although Rui Yao is the most low-key of the three ladies, and she has always been the image of taking care of housework and educating her children, she always spends a lot of time every day to hide in the secret room, remake all kinds of drawings from the data machine that only the husband and wife know, and then hand them over to the secret drawing factory to copy them.
In order to convince the three ladies, Yang Qiu also made up a lie about the ruins of the Tunguska explosion.
For more than 20 years, Yang Qiu has only done three things. The first is to suppress the civil strife with a strong hand and sort out the national government affairs. Build the missing legal, social and educational framework to lay the foundations for the republic. The second thing is to use the Chengcheng Act to stabilize the peasants, then bury themselves in basic industry in a down-to-earth manner, and finally use industry to gradually attract the swelling rural population to the cities, so that the country can slowly transition to urbanization and industrialization. The third thing is to remake the key drawings in the data machine and hand them over to the science and technology department for study, although there are very few copies of the entire set of drawings, but there are no less than 100,000 kinds of drawings of key military technology and equipment, basically except for modern weapons that require computers and integrated circuits, they have all been copied seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and all the drawings are stacked up in a weight heavier than a battleship.
Many of these drawings are not possible with current processing technology. But Yang Qiu doesn't care, his idea is very simple, first give an answer without any explanation, and sometimes deliberately missing parts, let the technicians figure out how to solve the answer by themselves, as for whether the specific process is the same as in the data machine, it doesn't matter. This is true of Thunderbolt fighters, this is true of radar, this is true of jet planes, and even the first nuclear reactor that is already operational. Give a vague answer, and you yourself mobilize all the resources and national forces to figure out what is needed for this answer. Therefore, a lot of military technology has been put into operation in real objects and even laboratories, and what is lacking is only how to engineer large-scale manufacturing. It's just not worth the price. For technicians and scientists, because there is only an answer and no process, they can gain accumulation and inspiration in the process of searching. And by extension, a great deal of other knowledge. Similarly, the vast majority of new technologies were originally used in the military, so they can also lead to advances in the civilian sector.
Rui Yao wiped her sweat and carefully put the data machine into the safe. Then put the piles of film into a special password briefcase, press the electric bell and hand it to the officer in charge of the matter. Watch him handcuff the briefcase and wrist together, tie the dynamite wires before putting the handcuff key in his personal pocket.
After finishing the day's work. She became a busy third lady again, and walked into the study with the boiled mung bean soup. "Sent out?" Yang Qiu took the mung bean soup, saw that she still had sweat stains on her forehead, took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently, and said with concern: "If it's hot, shoot less, and now I don't need it." ”
"It's okay to be idle anyway." After Rui Yao finished talking about the things she photographed today, she saw the mess on the table and said while cleaning up: "That's right." Tianlei came back yesterday and said that their troops were going to be transferred to the northwest, and the junior sister was still worried about it. ”
Yang Tianlei is the eldest son born to Miao Luo, and served in the First Armored Division after graduating from the National Defense University. Not long ago, the General Staff made a decision to transfer the First Army, including the 1st Panzer Division, to Irkutsk, which was also the first time that the ace army was mobilized to the northwest after the 103rd Central Guard Division stationed in Andijan. Even if they don't care about state affairs, they know what it means for the ace army to be transferred to the northwest at this time, so Miao Luo and the others are very worried about the safety of their children.
"Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal."
Although Yang Qiu didn't care on the surface, he actually knew in his heart that the restraint of China and the Soviet Union on the surface of the northwest was nothing more than waiting for an opportunity. Germany had completed its military deployment to Poland, and Stalin was also watching the movements of the German army, and if Hitler did not fulfill the contract, then he would not take the initiative to provoke a major war between China and the Soviet Union if he was killed. But if Germany fulfills the agreement, then after there is no pressure in the European direction, he will definitely go all out to attack Iran, after all, the Wehrmacht has only two armies in the Persian Gulf, and the technological superiority is often afraid of crowd tactics. But he will go all out to attack Iran, and the Wehrmacht will definitely start the Northwest Campaign to relieve pressure on the Persian Gulf.
This is a chain of links, and no one can break it, so the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet war is only a question of who will do it first.
But he can't say these things to his wives, so he can only be sloppy. Fortunately, at this time, there were footsteps outside the corridor, which interrupted Rui Yao's inquiry. "President, ma'am." Jiang Fangzhen and Yue Peng walked in together. Rui Yao knew that the three of them had something to discuss, put down the book and said with a smile: "You sit down first, and I'll go serve mung bean soup to cool off." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." After Jiang Fangzhen thanked him, he took out a telegram and said: "This is the news that I have just received, the battleship Holstein of the German Navy set off last night to pay a friendly visit to the Polish city of Danzig in the name of commemorating the fallen soldiers of World War I. ”
The visit of the battleship Holstein to Poland was recognized as a precursor to the German attack on Poland, and the old battleship shelled the Polish navy and city at Danzig on the fifth day of its arrival. So when Yang Qiu heard the news, he also squeezed his fist violently. Yue Peng scoffed even more: "It's really stupid!" The Germans were already surrounded from three sides, and dozens of divisions were eyeing each other, and they did not actively prepare for war, but they still promised to let the battleships visit Hong Kong. It's clear that he's looking for a dead end. ”
Jiang Fangzhen smiled: "Back then, Britain and France made the Danzig corridor to pull hatred, and the Poles stupidly drilled into the trap, which gave Germany the opportunity to take revenge. After the occupation of the Czech Republic, the German army had formed a situation of flanking on three sides, not to mention under the guise of a visit. If Hitler had told them that they would trade their entire navy for war if they didn't want war, the Poles would have offered it obediently. However, Britain and France were a little tricky this time, they were allies with Poland, and if war broke out, they would not be able to escape this catastrophe, and Chamberlain was probably already anxious now. ”
Yang Qiu also didn't have a good impression of Poland. Swallowing Danzig, coveting East Prussia, and fighting the Soviet Union shows that this is a strategically short-sighted country. But he was interested in Polish scientists and technicians, who were historically imprisoned in German concentration camps or taken away by the Soviet Union. Yue Peng also nodded: "It's not impossible to collect some people, anyway, now Germany also wants us to drag the Soviet Union." It's just that shipping is more troublesome, and our ships outside have been transferred to Saudi Arabia, unless we rent ships from Britain and the United States. However, after Poland started fighting, Britain and France probably did not have any extra ships for us. ”
"The boat still has. More than 50 supply ships on the Brazilian side have already arrived in the Red Sea and are unloading, and some of them can be taken to the Baltic Sea. ”
In his early years, Yang Qiu asked his second uncle's family to go to Brazil to develop and establish the Brazilian Meihua Company, and after marrying Miao Luo, he took the American Zhigong Court into his pocket, and sent many people to help. Now the world's largest instant coffee factory is Meihua Company. After making money from instant coffee, the Brazilian Meihua Company invested in rubber, shipbuilding and other industries, and it is said that it also bought a large piece of land, and finally even Yang Qiu's first guard commander, Lei Meng, went there to take care of the business. Everyone knows these things. For this replenishment of the Persian Gulf, Yang Qiu also asked the Brazilian Meihua Company to raise more than 70 ships to continuously deliver food and materials to Saudi Arabia. More than 100,000 tons of ammunition were also secretly sent.
However, at present, the war in the Persian Gulf is raging, and it is unknown whether Polish scientists are willing to come to China.
"Do your best and let it be the fate of heaven." Yang Qiu waved his hand to change the topic. After all, after more than 20 years of compulsory education and the tide of public study abroad, in addition to master scientists, there is no shortage of basic research talents in China, but only accumulation and experience. He was now more concerned about the situation in the Persian Gulf, and handed the battle report on the table to the two of them: "This is from Bai Chongxi, and at eleven o'clock in the morning, the troops have landed ashore. He reported that the Soviets had now divided into three groups, to the ports of Abadan, Shahpur and Rige, preparing to wipe us out on the coastline. ”
Yue Peng picked up the battle report, walked to the map and marked the situation one by one, but suddenly frowned.
"What, you see?"
"Hmm." Yue Peng put down the battle report and shook his head with some disappointment: "Bai Chongxi is a little conservative. Judging by what he meant, he wanted to eat the three armies on Ahvaz's side, which seemed to be safe but could not shake the foundation of the Soviet army in Iran. If it were me, I would have made a feint attack on Abadan, focusing on the port of Rig, and after a quick landing, I would use infantry to penetrate Isfahan and Qom, and at the same time I would have landed a small force to block Dizful, cutting off the connection between the north and the south in one fell swoop! ”
Yang Qiu nodded secretly, Yue Peng was worthy of being the number one general of the Wehrmacht, and he could see at a glance that the Iranian plateau was not suitable for the rapid penetration of armored troops, but more suitable for light infantry operations. It's a pity that Bai Chongxi still adheres to the steady step-by-step tactics. Jiang Fangzhen laughed: "Zi'an, you are wrong, Bai Chongxi must know the role of light infantry, I think he is too worried about supply and consumption." Because according to the way you fought just now, the infantry casualties must be not small. ”
"It's a pity, it's not handsome." Yue Peng also smiled, but he still had some regrets in his heart. After all, these people are old, and the question of the future successor of the Wehrmacht has always bothered everyone.
"What's the hurry, this battle can't end in a day or two, don't young people like Zhuo Fan and Li Jin all come out? As long as they do not make mistakes, the General Staff can delegate power, and after a long time, there will always be a few who can fight out. Jiang Fangzhen knew his thoughts, and after comforting him, he continued: "Iran is not a problem, eating the three armies on Ahvaz's side, Stalin will also have a pain in the flesh for a while." What's more, after Ahvaz is taken, Pahlavi will be able to return to China to organize troops, and we will also have a forward base. I am now worried that after Poland starts, Britain and France will take the opportunity to blockade the Suez Canal, and the South American fleet will also be affected. Coupled with Germany's fulfillment of the treaty, Stalin, who has no worries for the time being, is afraid that he will go all out to invest in Iran, and Bai Chongxi and Zhu Jiande will have much greater logistical pressure. ”
"Don't worry, I have already called Chen Shaokuan just now, and the battleships Beijing and Shanghai will set off for the south tomorrow morning. Japan has no way back now, and if you want to eat the Philippines, you should first ask our requirements, right? Yue Peng blinked his eyes and playfully hooked the corners of his mouth...... ps: I don't know if it's because the recent high temperature has almost never left the air-conditioned room, and my head has been groggy since the afternoon, let me ...... slowly.
