252. Pressure

The Kremlin has become unusually busy, and everyone is in a hurry.

With the passage of time, China's 2 million troops heading north continued to gather in the northeast, China's air force fleet also continued to move northward, and reconnaissance planes unscrupulously broke through the airspace of Soviet Russia to conduct reconnaissance, and the Chinese National Defense Forces on the Sino-Soviet border have entered a state of combat readiness.

Stalin looked at the sand table with an extremely ugly face, turned to Yagoda and shouted: "What progress is there on Comrade Molov's side? ”

Yagoda said: "There is no progress. Li Bufan, the leader of the Chinese military, has not met with him, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry still insists that it was an 'exercise'. ”

"Hell drills." Stalin roared angrily, he would be an idiot if he believed that the movement of the two million troops during the war was an exercise. His chest heaved with rage, and he tried to calm himself down a bit, asking, "Is there any movement on the Chinese side?" ”

Yagoda said: "Yes." China is already sending two additional army groups to Xinjiang, which are newly formed and equipped with British equipment. Their train can go directly to Yumen, which is here. Yagoda pointed in the direction of the sand table and paused, "Then they will march into Xinjiang on foot, the road for the Chinese to enter Xinjiang has been basically completed, and their supplies will be quickly entered by car." Moreover, the Chinese have developed an oil field in Yumen, with an annual output of about two or three hundred thousand tons, as well as the Jiuquan Iron and Steel Plant, and set up a small and medium-sized arsenal. ”

Stalin's face became even more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Small and medium-sized arsenals? With this foundation. If the Chinese want to start a war, they can quickly move equipment, expand the scale of ammunition production in this arsenal, and minimize the pressure on logistics and supply. ”

Yagoda said: "Yes. Judging from the information obtained by Beria, the Chinese have formed a heavy industrial base in the area of Jiuquan Yumen, with the smelting and development of various metals, which can fully support all the metal use of an arsenal, even the production of aircraft and tanks. Our Central Asian side will face very great pressure, and if these two Chinese armies reach Xinjiang, then China's troops in Xinjiang will reach about 500,000. There is also another production and construction corps. There are also nearly 200,000 people. The total strength is nearly 700,000. ”

Stalin's murderous eyes rose, and he tried to calm himself down and said: "Is there any movement in other areas?" ”

Yagoda nodded: "China has also added two newly formed army groups to the Mongolian side at the same time, but their railway progress is relatively slow, so they basically march on foot. However, according to the investigation, their supplies were transported by 3,000 Dongfeng vehicles. That's it. The strength of the Chinese Defense Forces on the Kulen-Maimaicheng line will exceed 500,000. The main thing is still the Northeast. Almost all of the two million elites of the Chinese going north are heading to the northeast, and it seems that between Harbin and Qiqihar, they seem to be vigorously developing oil fields, and named Daqing oil fields. There are also China's three newly formed group armies. If the original garrison is added, China's military strength in Northeast Asia alone is close to 3 million. ”

The pressure was pressed down like a mountain, and the high-level leaders of the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia were all pale.

China has made full use of the advantages of being large in numbers, and with the convenient transportation of the Chinese side in the Far East, it is easy to expand its military. Originally, China was still limited by the military industry, but Li Bufan's series of planned battles annihilated the Western coalition army of five or six million, and captured countless materials, which made it easy for China to expand its army on a large scale, although it was not China's standard equipment, but the British, French and American standard equipment was only stronger than the equipment of Soviet Russia at this time, and what was even worse was that the Western coalition led by Britain, France and the United States had a lot of money and prepared more materials for the troops, and for this reason the Chinese side captured a lot, and the Chinese side did not have to worry about the materials at all in a short time. Moreover, China had too many miscellaneous munitions before, which could produce all kinds of ammunition and also had a certain degree of self-sufficiency.

Trotsky said in a deep voice: "It seems that the 'Baikal exercise' really touched the nerves of the Chinese, and they even gave up the best time to capture India and go north." If it is not handled well, then the war will be out of control. ”

Blyukhel said with an extremely ugly face: "We can't fight this battle with the Chinese, regardless of victory or defeat." But in any case, as long as war breaks out, it will be Western imperialism that will benefit. ”

Stalin said in a deep voice: "But China's military is completely covered by Li Bufan, Comrade Molov can't even see his face, and we can't communicate with the Chinese." ”

Trotsky said: "I believe that Li Bufan knew about Comrade Molov's actions in Nanjing, and he should have known that we wanted to resolve this dispute, but he did not see our sincerity, because we have also been mobilizing troops to Eastern Siberia. ”

Stalin snorted coldly: "The Chinese are amassing millions of troops in Northeast Asia, and if we do not mobilize troops to Eastern Siberia and the enemy attacks, then we will not be able to fight back." ”

The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.

This is not true at all, but troop movements are similar to an arms race, and they are more deadly. As long as one side gathers heavy troops on the border, the other side will not be able to gather a large army, unless the country does not want to exist, or is simply too weak to resist. Otherwise, what if the other side launches a surprise attack?

It's a vicious circle. Soviet Russia originally instigated several group army-scale exercises, undoubtedly in order to contain a certain amount of Chinese troops in the war, but they never expected that as soon as China's troops were mobilized, it would be 2 million elites, and it would be able to rapidly expand its army by more than 1 million and directly throw it into the northern defense line, and the entire Sino-Soviet border would become almost 4 million troops, and the total strength was almost three times that of Soviet Russia. Such a change in force directly forced Soviet Russia to frantically draw a large number of troops from all sides to quickly reinforce the border, which led to the fact that both sides would gather more and more troops on the border, and they could not stop.

The consequences of this situation are very serious. If there is any conflict on the border, it may turn into a large-scale main showdown in an instant, and the war will be out of control. If both sides suffer heavy losses, it will be impossible for the top level of the state to stop even if they want to, because there is no way to explain to the officers and men of the three armed services, otherwise they will lose the morale of the army, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Trotsky was also very troubled by the situation, and the Chinese response was too sensitive, and the counterattack was too harsh, and he was caught off guard. After pondering for a long time, he said: "The movement of troops cannot be stopped, and we must prevent accidents from happening. However, our country cannot fight this war at this time, and if we want to mediate this incident, then we must show sincerity. Otherwise, the Chinese will not believe us, and I will not believe it. ”

Stalin snorted coldly and said, "Sincerity? How to show sincerity? Li Bufan didn't see Molov. ”

In fact, everyone at the top level of Soviet Russia knows that judging from the achievements of the Chinese Defense Forces, if a war really breaks out, they are afraid that they will lose more than win. The fate of the Western coalition forces has been placed in front of them, and they all know very well that Xia Fei, Hagrid, Dannatt, etc. are all top military strategists in the West, and the troops are also extremely well-equipped, at least much better than Soviet Russia, but in the face of Li Bufan, he is still defeated, and the absurd ratio of casualties is 20 to 1, which makes the world's armies frightened.

Trotsky said in a deep voice: "We can announce to the outside world that we will stop military exercises for some reason, so as to give the Chinese side a step down." ”――

"Stopped military exercises?"

"Yes, the Soviet and Russian sides said that many officers and soldiers could not carry out military exercises because of their unsuitability." Li Huashan laughed.

Wu Di sneered: "Garbage excuse, the climate and living habits in the north are almost the same, and you are still not accustomed to the soil and water?" It seems that Lao Maozi is soft. Saying that, he looked at Li Bufan, there were only four people here: him, Li Huashan, Li Hengshan and Li Bufan.

Li Bufan smiled and said: "The posture we put on is the posture of fighting, and Soviet Russia is obviously unwilling to be cannon fodder for the Western coalition forces." It's easy to get soft, but you can't let them go too easily. By the way, where are the main arrivals of our troops now? ”

Li Huashan said: "Several group armies have been assembled in the northeast Jilin area, but most of them have just arrived at a series of ports such as Vladivostok and Dalian, and some are still on the way. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said: "Order the troops that have arrived in the northeast and in the port to rest on the spot, and the troops that have not arrived continue to go north." ”

Li Huashan said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief is cooling down on the one hand, and continuing to maintain or even increase the pressure on the other. ”

Wu Di nodded and said, "Good idea, you want us to retreat without some blood?" It's not that easy. ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "Bleeding is not necessarily. In that case, it would be difficult for Soviet Russia to step down. My idea is that we will do a business with Soviet Russia. ”

Wu Di was surprised: "Do business? ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "Yes." During the South Asian War, we fully saw the powerful industrial capacity of the Western world, and they were able to produce more than 6,000 aircraft in a month, which is definitely not a good thing for us. It is acceptable for us to lose other advantages, but everyone has seen the role of the Air Force, and we cannot afford to lose air supremacy in any case, so we must expand the production of aircraft. ”

Wu Di smiled: "What does the boss mean, you want to find a way to import aircraft production lines for us through Soviet Russia?" ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "Of course not." In fact, whether it is an airplane, a tank, or an automobile production line, the vast majority of ordinary parts are not difficult to produce, but the difficulty is only a very small number of precision parts, and what we want is these parts. In addition, our production line also needs to be upgraded, and some more sophisticated equipment and machine tool parts are needed. We want these things, and we pay for them. ”

Wu Di's eyes widened and said, "You still pay to buy it?" Can they give or not? If you don't give it, you won't withdraw from the army. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "It's better to save some face for them, after all, they are not ready to tear their faces." If these things are not in hand, of course we can't retreat, and during this time, we can almost get our 'soldiers in the city plan' ready. ”

"Hehe" (to be continued......)
