Chapter 149

There is a feeling of being overturned all over the world, especially Stalin. [This article is from May Chinese Network 5] Bombed by mistake? Do you dare to be more shameless, the bombing after the combat of the air fighters can also be called accidental bombing? Can the militants have planes?

However, Stalin could only pinch his nose and admit it, for the simple reason that he could. Of the 40 planes, 37 were shot down, and after the three that escaped were forced to land, the planes were also damaged and unusable, which was equivalent to the total annihilation. Such a record is really ashamed to talk about, so the Soviet Foreign Affairs Committee did not mention the air war to the outside world, saying that the Chinese Air Force bombed Tashkent.

Since Molotov, a member of the Soviet Foreign Affairs Committee, announced to the public that the Chinese Air Force had shamelessly dropped bombs on Tashkent, with hundreds of innocent casualties in the morning, the Chinese Foreign Ministry naturally maintained a tacit understanding and announced that it had been bombed by mistake.

This event was turned into a subversive event by later historians, completely subverting the impression that China's leaders had given to the world. President Fangda's glorious life has been criticized for this. In particular, the opposition parties in China have frequently talked about this matter, such as shameless diplomacy and damage to the country's image.

Interestingly, after such a thing happened, the foreign media, except for the Soviet Union, were very reserved. Some media even went too far to say that Fang, as the president of a big country, showed his political wisdom. Of course, there is a premise for this incident, that is, it is against the Soviet Union. And the USSR, at this time, was not popular in the world.

What to do? To fight or not to fight, that's the question? Stalin was stunned. If he could not fight, he would be willing to go to war with China. The problem is, now it's at a loss. Lao Maozi must get used to it, and this breath is a little unbearable. Thinking about it, I couldn't take it, and it happened that Chuikov returned to Moscow, and Stalin summoned him as soon as possible.

When meeting Stalin, Chuikov used one word to describe the air battle: "Defeated!" After listening to the report, Stalin asked expectantly: "Is there really no chance at all?" Chuikov said: "There is no chance at all." Our pilots flew too many warplanes with poor performance. Whether it's a dive, or a turning radius. As well as speed, protection capabilities, to be precise, are far behind in all aspects. The Chinese are equipped with a completely new fighter, and there is a generational difference in performance. ”

"The intelligence services are negligent!" Stalin said. Scared Yezhov's shit out. Of course. Ye Ruofu is not to blame for this matter, on the side of the Wuhan Aviation Research Institute, it can be said that the intelligence department and the garrison have laid a net of heaven and earth, and they cannot get into it at all. And the design of this new engine is not difficult, the difficult thing is how to solve the processing technology and material technology. The technology of processing and materials, which the Chinese obtained from Britain at great expense, is a top secret among top secrets, and ordinary people cannot access it at all. And the engines of the first Mustang fighters. All imported from the UK.

"Will our ground forces be able to guarantee victory in the event of an attack on the Andijan and Ferghana regions?" Stalin asked again. Chuikov was a little embarrassed, because he was the former commander of the Fourth Army, and if he said that he could not win, he would be incompetent, and if he could guarantee victory, it was estimated that he would die even more ugly if he lost in the future.

After pondering again and again, Chuikov said: "The terrain in Central Asia is very complicated, and it is difficult to carry out a large army operation. The exit khujand in the Fergana Valley belonged to the demilitarized zone, and it was not possible to build a strong fortress, which made it difficult for our army to defend itself. If the squadron rushes out of the valley and fights a decisive battle in an open area outside, the Fourth Army is confident of annihilating an opponent of similar strength. ”

Stalin stopped talking, he understood what Chuikov meant, with the existing military forces in Central Asia, it was not enough to defeat the squadron. Stalin didn't believe what others said, but Chuikov was known for being good at commanding mechanized troops, so he had a high degree of credibility when he said it.

"How effective are the mechanized troops of the Chinese?" Turning his head and asking Yezhov, the spy leader hurriedly stepped forward: "The Chinese tank is very good, according to the information we have obtained from Germany, the German army is copying a Chinese-made tank." The specific number has not yet been mastered, but according to information obtained from other sources, the performance of this tank comprehensively surpasses the active tanks of our army. The Germans, due to the lack of oil, switched to gasoline engines. Although the Chinese also lack crude oil, they import hundreds of millions of dollars of oil from the United States every year, and the Americans give very low prices in order to retain this big customer. However, it has been investigated that recently the Chinese have gone with Anglo-Dutch oil and imported a large amount of light crude oil, which can be directly used in the navy's warships. ”

Stalin was still very satisfied with this report, and it seems that the work of the intelligence services was fruitful. Stalin, who had been silent for a long time, was still in the habit of saying before finally making a decision: "Comrades all share their opinions." "This move must be an important move of intra-party democracy, and how to decide is one thing, and what process is another.

"We should increase our military presence in Central Asia, but right now the war in Finland is underway. Therefore, it is only possible to appropriately increase the air power for defense, and with the fact that winter is coming, it is really not suitable to attack now. At the last meeting, I was an advocate of attacking, and now it seems that I still lack sufficient understanding of the situation and have made the mistake of subjectivism. "It was Voroshilov who could survive to the end under Stalin's men, and it cannot but be said that he was very set. If you stand up and review it first, Comrade Stalin will not be wrong, and if there is a mistake, it is also misled by the people below, for example, he himself is a very suitable misguide.

"Comrade Chuikov is quite familiar with the situation in Central Asia, and my opinion is that it would be better for him to continue to serve as commander of the Fourth Army. Comrade Zhukov, despite his problems with his working methods, was a competent chief of the General Staff. Budyonny took the opportunity to speak for Zhukov, and of course insisted on one sentence: "On the Central Asian side, we should still take advantage of the opportunity of winter to increase the strength of the cavalry." We still need to be prepared for a possible attack from China next spring. ”

Stalin, who had already regretted it, nodded after the roundabout tactics of these two marshals: "The views of the comrades are very comprehensive, and now that the Finnish war is underway, the combat effectiveness of our army has been tested in the actual battle, and many problems have been found. The construction of our air force is lagging behind, and the performance of our tanks is lagging behind, and these problems need to be solved urgently. ”

"I propose a new resolution to postpone the plan of the General Staff to launch the Central Asian campaign. We are very Chinese in carrying out diplomatic struggles, and at the same time we are using the time gained by diplomacy to step up the development of new weapons. Molotov also intervened, and in fact he was also a victim of the accidental bombing. The foreign minister of a major industrial country has to pinch his nose and admit his account after the bombing of his country, which is already a laughing stock in the world. Everyone understands Molotov's mood very well, so no one talks about this topic anymore.

Regrettably, due to various objective factors, the Soviet Government finally decided to stand on a just standpoint and strongly condemn the brutal acts of Chinese imperialism. Of course, the Soviets had no intention of withdrawing their troops from Finland, and the Soviet-Finnish war was still ongoing. And the Chinese government's supposedly lunatic President Fang has no next move. At least many, many media outlets have not found anything to break the news. In the end, it was Tianjin's "Ta Kung Pao" that suddenly broke the news that in the recent night, the number of military trains passing through the Tianjin Railway Station has increased suddenly, and its density is far greater than the normal level, and the movement of the train often does not stop all night and all night, and the people living near the railway station cannot sleep in peace at night.

This news soon caused a lot of movement, and the media of various countries were speculating that the Chinese were preparing for a big war. Naturally, the Soviet side also learned of the news, and immediately became nervous. It is said that winter is not suitable for war, but it can't stand the fact that people really fight you, and you are not prepared.

As soon as the Soviet Union became nervous, it was insufficient to exert force in Europe, and with the current size of the Soviet army, it was indeed difficult to take care of the two battlefields. In particular, the Soviet-Finnish war was carried out with great difficulty, far beyond the imagination of the Soviet army. Because of China's containment, the course of the Soviet-Finnish war was obviously affected. Some elite units of the Soviet army began to move to Central Asia, and Central Asia is really a shame, next to the oil fields in Baku. Seventy percent of the Soviet oil's oil came from Baku, and it was impossible to live this day if it was really served.

Due to factors such as insufficient preparation for war in alpine climate conditions and tactical inadequacy, the Soviet army took the initiative to suspend the war after capturing the port of Petsam. This war, which is expected to last only a few days, is extremely difficult. At this time, the Soviet Union was still busy annexing the three Baltic states, and Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania successively signed the so-called mutual assistance treaty.

There was no fight between China and the Soviet Union for a while, which disappointed many people. Of course, not fighting at this time means that the next time it really fights, it will become very cruel.

So in the last two months of 1939, Europe was the leading singer on the world stage. Britain and France wanted to take advantage of the Soviet-Finnish war to control Norway, but Germany did not intend to enter Norway, because Norway's neutrality was in Germany's best interests. The problem was that Britain and France were determined to cut off the source of German iron ore, especially Churchill, who jumped up and down and actively organized coalition forces.

However, the actions of Britain and France were too slow, and the Soviet-Finnish war was fought for half a month, and the shadow of the coalition forces did not take shape. On the contrary, the Soviet Union, after summing up the war, started the war again on February 11, 1940. After summing up the experience, the Soviet army concentrated its forces on the Karelian Isthmus, commanded by Timosinger with 40 divisions, and after breaking through the Mannerheim Line after three days of fierce fighting, it immediately invested mechanized troops to expand the results of the battle. On March 12, Finland was defeated, and the Anglo-French forces had not yet boarded the ship, losing the pretext for intervening in the Soviet-Finnish war, and the plan to control Norway was stranded.
