896 Anti-Encirclement and Suppression and the Long March III The Red Army was not afraid of difficult expeditions
"Brother E, I have received information that Gandhi has appointed General Singh, the Minister of War of India, to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater of Operations; Appointed British Lieutenant General Mountbatten as the general adviser of the Eastern Theater of Operations, he is actually responsible for commanding 12 central infantry corps, 236 local rifle regiments, and a total of 1 million troops to encircle and suppress you. Luo Yaoguo glanced at Zhou Elai, who was sitting next to him, out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw that the other party's expression was calm, he nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that your party has mastered this information, so there must be a countermeasure, right?" ”
Zhou Elai said lightly: "As long as you don't lift the blockade of the Gandhi authorities and don't sell so many weapons and equipment to Gandhi, won't it be easy for us to defeat Gandhi's million-strong rabble?" ”
"These things can be said in our family's auxiliary text." Natalie, who was sitting opposite Luo Yaoguo, smiled and explained: "Mr. Zhou, our national government is a democracy after all, and the General Staff and base camp of the National Defense Forces must obey the decisions of the government and the parliament. The recognition of the Government of New Delhi was passed by the Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan, and the President accepted the credentials of the Indian side. How can we, the Wehrmacht, say, go and block the coastline of a 'friendly country'? How can it interfere with the legitimate arms trade between China and India? ”
Regarding Natalie's explanation, Zhou Elai sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent and looked at Luo Yaoguo calmly. "Brother Fuwen, your national government has also recognized the government of the Socialist Union Republic of India in Bhubaneswar (the capital of Odisha). Does that mean that you can also sell arms to socialist India? ”
"Of course." Luo Yaoguo smiled lightly: "Although we do not want to see the Indian people suffer in the military conflict between the two parties in India. However, we cannot interfere with the legitimate trade of our own wishes, and we will sell arms to Bhubaneswar as long as we can afford it. ”
"Can I understand that as long as socialist India can come up with enough gold and silver, they will be able to buy advanced weapons like the Gandhi authorities?" Zhou Elai's demeanor was a little careless, but there was a burst of joy in his heart.
Although he did not yet know what "advanced arms" the Gandhi authorities had procured from China, China's arms export control regulations were public, and Zhou Elai certainly knew about them. The scale of this regulation is very loose, and even sophisticated weapons such as battleships and aircraft carriers can be sold! Aircraft, artillery, tanks, and even more so tanks, of course. The premise is that "China's national security cannot be endangered". Moreover, this fire export control regulation is external, and this regulation is not applicable to local armed forces such as the Chinese border guards, and the Far Eastern Republic is eligible for arms procurement, but all their requests for arms purchase have been rejected by the Nationalist Government without exception on the grounds that it is to protect national security......
However, this time, Luo Yaoguo's answer was very simple, "Yes, all the weapons we can sell to the Gandhi authorities can be sold to the Union of Socialist Republics of India." These include the No. 2 tank, an aircraft with a 1,000 hp water-cooled engine or a 1,200 hp air-cooled engine; all kinds of artillery with a caliber of 150mm (including 150mm); all types of trucks, armored vehicles and other military vehicles; All military ships except submarines. Even if the Indian GCD wants to buy an aircraft carrier, there is no problem! ”
At present, China's industrial structure is not particularly balanced, and the development of market-led light industry is relatively lagging behind. However, under the leadership of the Ministry of Armaments, heavy industry, especially the military industry, has developed at a high speed for more than 10 consecutive years, forming a large production capacity of weapons and equipment. Therefore, when the world war is nearing its end, Luo Yaoguo's biggest headache is to find a market for these excess production capacity, and he can't buy and sell casually...... For example, Germany, the United States, Italy, and Japan have great demand, but for various reasons they cannot openly sell weapons to them on a large scale. India, which is currently fighting a "civil war," is undoubtedly the best market for arms dumping, especially because many weapons and equipment that have been eliminated in the international arena still have good sales outlets there.
Zhou Elai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he had long expected that Luo Yaoguo would definitely sell weapons and equipment to the "Indian GCD" so that India's "civil war" could continue, so as to squeeze the last copper plate out of the pockets of the Indians. Alleviate the impending economic crisis (uh, capitalism!) Sooner or later, there will be a crisis). But before the matter is finally decided, it is difficult to say what variables will happen, after all, the possibility that the Kuomintang wants to kill people with a knife still exists!
"Well, that's it, Brother E, you can show me the list of this military purchase first, and I can give you some suggestions." Luo Yaoguo paused and added. Zhou Elai hesitated slightly, then took out a list from his briefcase and handed it over.
"100,000 Min 13 rifles, 5,000 Min 13 water-cooled heavy machine guns, 3,000 Min 15 light machine guns, 108 Min 13 75mm mountain guns, 72 Min 16 105mm howitzers, and 36 Min 17 150mm howitzers. There are 256 Type 15 mortars and 30 million rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. 75mm shells ......" Luo Yaoguo took the list and read it in a low voice, his expression was a little careless: "Brother E." Is that all? Don't you need to buy tanks and planes? The Gandhian government has procured equipment from us for a standard armoured division! There are also 250 aircraft, more than a dozen warships of various kinds. If you only buy some equipment for infantry divisions, I'm afraid you're going to suffer a loss, right? ”
Zhou Elai didn't seem surprised, he smiled slightly and said, "Brother Fuwen, what weapons can you sell us to deal with the tanks and planes of the Gandhi government?" But I can state in advance that we GCDs are very poor, and you can't sell this weapon too expensive. ”
"Brother E, let's not talk in secret in front of the Ming people, you GCD have to talk about the ability to mobilize and concentrate social wealth Chapter 890, the gloomy Persian GCD cadres are knocking on doors to collect food and levy strong men...... Comrade Stalin had already ordered that all the grain in the city of Qom must be pooled to supply the Red Army. All men and women over the age of 16 and over 35 must also join the Red Army (Persia) to defend the Red regime against the Chinese and Russian fascist aggression!
After arriving in Persia, Stalin seemed to suddenly discover that the lives of the Russians turned out to be precious! It cannot be used for sacrifice casually, especially the two or three hundred thousand Soviet Red Army that he brought out, as well as more than 100,000 family members and cadres accompanying the army. If these people die, he, the great leader of the Soviet people, will be left alone!
So, in the midst of combat operations against the Sino-Russian coalition forces commanded by Chiang Kai-shek and Blyukher. He always used the poorly equipped and poorly trained Persian Red Army as cannon fodder on the front line. And put the Soviet Red Army behind the front to supervise the battle. Therefore, while his army was repeatedly defeated. However, the Red Army, which had followed him all the way from the Soviet Union, suffered little losses.
Although these Soviet Red Army did not have to charge into battle when they were fighting, their supply was several times greater than when they were at home...... There is wine and meat for three meals a day, and the bread of Baihuahua is eaten with an open belly, and even military discipline has gradually relaxed recently. The internal affairs of the political commissariat who were serious in the country did not care about the complaints and strange things that followed, and the officers and soldiers who slipped out of the barracks to drink and look for women turned a blind eye, and even a number of rape cases, but they only acted as if nothing had happened, as long as they did not go to the White Russian army of Empress Anastasia.
But can such an army still be called the Red Army? Can it save tens of millions of Soviet people under the tyrannical rule of Empress Anastasia? Such questions have been bothering Khrushchev for a long time. The former first secretary of the Moscow regional party committee is currently in the position of political commissar of the First Front of the Soviet Red Army, with the rank of lieutenant general. The commander of his First Front was Lieutenant General Chuikov, who had come to Georgia before the collapse of the Ural Front. And this so-called front army is actually only the size of an infantry corps of the Soviet Red Army in the past, with more than 40,000 officers and soldiers, as well as more than 10,000 family members and cadres accompanying the army. The armament was also reduced to light weapons and a small amount of British-aided 17-pounder field guns, and those brought out from the Soviet Union were either damaged in battle or abandoned because they ran out of ammunition. Even Iranian artillery fire was consumed (and fled) in the previous Battle of Tehran, and the Soviet Red Army, which lost Tehran, was once again forced to flee.
Khrushchev and Chuikov's troops received an order to break off after exiting Tehran, but the Sino-Russian forces did not chase after them, but stayed near Tehran for a few days, as if to prepare for some kind of military parade for the enthronement of Queen Anastasia I of Persia...... This queen is whimsical. I want to be the king of a group of Muslims! However, this also gave the Red Army a chance to breathe, if the Sino-Russian coalition restored the Pahlavi dynasty, it is estimated that the whole of Persia would be a "vast sea of people's war" at this time.
Early this morning, Khrushchev and Chuikov received orders to attend a meeting at the headquarters of the Red Army in Qom to discuss the next direction of development of the Soviet Red Army. Well, maybe it's an escape route. At the moment, there were three ways out for the Soviet Red Army.
One is to cross the Kavir Salt Desert to Khorasan Province, which is close to the Central Asian region of the former Soviet Union. At the moment, it belonged to the Russian Empire and the Central Asian Dominions of China, and a counterattack from Khorasan might allow for a counterattack against the Soviet Union. But...... With the current strength of the Soviet Red Army, there seemed to be little certainty of victory.
The second is to advance south to occupy Iraq. Iraq is currently a German sphere of influence, but the Germans do not have much presence in Iraq. It will definitely not be able to stop the 200,000 Soviet Red Army, but once Iraq is defeated, it will be regarded as touching Hitler's tiger ass! This is not a consequence that these remnants of the army will be able to bear at present.
Since Iraq and Khorasan could not be reached, it seemed that the only way to go was to take the third route, retreat to the southwest, first to Isfahan, and then flee to the border between Persia and India, which is nearly 2,000 kilometers from Tehran. It's a barren land again. I guess that the queen and the Chinese reactionary Chiang Kai-shek won't have much interest in encircling and suppressing again, right? If you can't, you'll have to flee to India!
It's just that Zhongg has taken control of the Indian GCD first, and has also laid a base in eastern India! Su G is now defeated and goes to take refuge in them, I'm afraid it won't end well, right?
When Khrushchev and Cong Chuikov walked into the headquarters of the Red Army, the atmosphere was somewhat tense, and the soldiers were busy removing the telephone lines. Signal soldiers continued to come on horseback, and then hurried out to give orders. Everyone has a serious look, as if they are about to be pulled out again!
Khrushchev and Chuikov looked at each other. Xin said: "Why hasn't it been opened yet, has the direction of running has been determined?" ”
An officer hurriedly walked out of the compound of the headquarters of the Red Army, and Khrushchev recognized at a glance as the former secretary of the Georgian party committee named Beria, who was now the political commissar of the internal guard troops, and belonged to Stalin's top confidant.
"Comrade Khrushchev, Comrade Chuikov, come with me. Comrade Stalin is waiting for you in the office. Without waiting for Khrushchev and Chuikov to speak, Beria hurriedly beckoned the two to Stalin's office.
"Comrade Beria. What's going on? Is it about to be unplugged? Didn't you say you could rest for two days? Khrushchev asked in a low voice as he walked inside with Beria.
Beria nodded helplessly. He smiled bitterly: "It's about to be pulled, and I wanted to rest for a few more days, but now it doesn't look good." ”
"What's wrong? Is the enemy ready to attack? Chuikov frowned slightly and hurriedly asked.
"I'm afraid it's more troublesome than this!" Beria shook his head and sighed: "It is China's Chief of General Staff Luo Yaoguo who has arrived in Tehran!" Moreover, he told reporters at the airport that he was here to command the Chinese and Russian armies to destroy us! ”
Chuikov was also shocked when he heard his words. It's not that I'm afraid that Luo Yaoguo is really like a god in using troops, but because the Chinese and Russian armies have actually been making trouble during this time. Chiang Kai-shek and Blyuhel neither sold each other's accounts, and when they started a war, they both wanted to save their country's army and let the other party charge! Chiang Kai-shek, in particular, had little motivation after learning that the Russian empress was going to be the queen of Persia at the same time...... Blyukhel's army was poorly equipped and morale was not high, and many officers from the Red Army always had some indescribable feelings for the last blood and blood of the Soviet Red Army led by Stalin, which is why Stalin's troops have survived until now.
But Luo Yaoguo came to Tehran in person this time, and the situation is different! His prestige in the squadron is extremely high, and those lieutenant officers naturally dare not grind foreign workers anymore when they see him coming to Tehran to supervise the battle. And the Russian empress has a special relationship with him, and she will definitely obey him and strictly order the Russian army to attack! (To be continued.)
