Chapter 166: Counterattacking the Wind and Thunder (II)

The results are staggering, but the cost is also staggering. Especially in the Air Force, the B-17 can carry 16 bombs of 500 kilograms at a time, and replace them with bombs that are a little smaller than 200 kilograms, and when they fall, they burn money like rain.

Only five days after the start of an East Kazakhstan counterattack, a quarter of the reserves of the entire Central Asian Military District were depleted. That's more than three years of reserves. Now the war is only the beginning, and according to the minimum five years of war, it is not enough that the wealth accumulated by the country in the past twenty years will have to be thrown in. Soong Ziwen is already planning to issue a new round of treasury bonds.

In a separate courtyard in Dihua City, Fang Jianxiong stood in the courtyard looking at the grape trellis in a daze, and Duan Feng was reporting on the logistics situation in his ears. "The current front is not too long, the original section of the Trans-Siberian Railway has remained unchanged from the Russian system, and the domestic reserve locomotive is enough. On the Siberian side, the front advanced to Omsk, which was almost the limit. Otherwise, the existing transportation capacity will not be able to support the logistics supply of a million-strong army. The situation in Central Asia is even worse, because the railways on our side are of the metric system and Maozi are of the Russian system, but fortunately, before the war, the logistics department ordered 100,000 trucks to transport them to Central Asia one after another. If the next major campaign is to be launched, to advance the front to the shores of the Caspian Sea, it will take at least three months of preparation. ”

There was movement at the gate of the courtyard, Fang Jianxiong glanced at it and said, "I'll take a look at the materials when I put them down, Prime Minister Shaochuan has to report more." It was Chen Bui who came in, and after walking up to Fang Jianxiong, he said in a low voice: "President, the United States has proposed to send a military observation mission. The first representative is Weymad. The German minister, Toddmann, has come from Peking and has asked to see you. ”

"In principle, I agree with the Americans, after all, now we rely on the Americans in many places. Not this time. I don't know where to get stuck next time. By the way, Duan Feng, Huabo's engine, the transportation link is quite smooth, right? Fang Jianxiong suddenly changed the topic, he was already accustomed to the jumping thinking of the president, and said with a very prepared smile: "So far, there has been no problem. Hewlett-Packard is expanding its engine plant in China, and related supporting companies are also expanding production. Wait for HP to complete the expansion. Next, the large engines needed will not have to be imported. ”

"The key to industrialization is talent, and this aspect is our shortcoming. The country is still too poor, and it took 20 years to send 200,000 international students. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, domestic polytechnics were not valued by the provinces. It seems that a university is not a good university if it does not focus on literature and history. By the time we came to change, it was too late. Leaving that aside, where is Toddman? ”

Chen Bui said: "Just waiting in the living room of the other courtyard, he has been here for ten minutes." I don't see you busy. ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled: "It's okay. It's not what it used to be, and it's okay to make foreign devils wait. Come on, change clothes! ”

On formal occasions, Fang Jianxiong must be dressed in a Tang suit, and this round-necked Tang suit was designed by someone Fang. Leaders of countries in parallel time and space, wearing suits or jackets on official occasions, this is also indispensable in President Fangda's opinion. But I always feel that there is something else missing. As a result, an improved version of Tang costumes was born, and the idea was a certain Tang costume from parallel time and space.

Because of President Fangda's personal preference. is leading the trend of officialdom Tang costumes. Holding the dress appeared in the hand was a young girl in a national costume named Gulandam, and the local chief was also the daughter of the speaker of the provincial assembly. All the female waitresses in this annex are these young girls dressed in national costumes. Local officials arranged this, and President Fang Da accepted it calmly, which can be regarded as a kind of show. Fang did not engage in any preferential treatment policies, anyway, all ethnic groups are equal. In addition, since the Republic of China, the migration to Xinjiang has not stopped, and more than 50 million people have moved from the hinterland, which has greatly eased the proportion of the local population.

The girl's soft towering rose and fell slightly in front of her, and when she buttoned the buttons, the national girl was obviously a little nervous, because it was her turn to be on duty for the first time today. In the past, when others were on duty, she looked forward to her turn to be on duty, and when it was really her turn to be on duty, her nervous hands were shaking when she stood in front of this tribe who was regarded as a god-like great man.

Fang is already an old bird, and he will not be provoked by the beautiful girl in front of him to think too much. After accepting the service indifferently, he politely said thank you. At the beginning, Fang Jianxiong didn't mean to serve like this, and he didn't think that the girl who was waiting in front of him would cry for the first time, saying that if he didn't accept it, he would look down on her and the locals. As a result, Fang was as good as a stream.

There are twenty similar girls in this courtyard, all of whom have been carefully selected, from large local families, and have received at least a degree from Dihua University. According to Dai Chunfeng's report, this arrangement was proposed by Casileni, the speaker of the local parliament. In charge of President Fang's daily life, these twenty girls came in shifts, five people in a class. For a job like this temporary dressing, it has to be decided by lot. It's always these seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls who are looking forward to such an opportunity.

President Fang Da disappeared, and the long-legged girl was still in a daze, and he said thank you to me just now. That's all I had in my head.

The temperature difference between day and night in this place in Dihua is very large, Tao Deman, who flew to Dihua last night, got up in the morning and passed a suit jacket, and the sun came out after nine o'clock, so hot that he could only wear short sleeves. Because he didn't have this preparation, now Toddman wears a long-sleeved shirt with sweat all over his head.

When Fang Jianxiong appeared, Todman was still wiping his sweat. "Hehe, old friend, you're here for the first time, right?"

The president took the initiative to greet him, and Todman quickly put away his handkerchief and said, "Yes, president, I made you smile." ”

Changed to a long-legged girl to bring cold sour plum soup, Fang Jianxiong was not polite, after taking a bite, his comfortable brows stretched, and said in German: "Old friend, your improvement looks good, does it bring any good news?" ”

Todman took out a letter and said, "This is a personal letter from the Führer to you. Fang Jianxiong took the mustache's handwritten letter and read it in front of Todman. The moustache letter first complimented him, and then tactfully stated that Germany was preparing for war against Britain. It is difficult to cooperate with China to eliminate an evil regime, so I ask President Fang Da to express his understanding, etc. At the same time, he wished China victory in the war and made a request to send an observer mission.

Sino-German relations have always been very good. The future world pattern has always been a headache for Fang Jianxiong. If Germany fails and the United States dominates Europe, it will certainly not be a good thing for China. In the future world, if China and the United States stand side by side, it will definitely not be a stable structure, and the three powers will stand side by side is the most stable. When such a thought flashed through Fang Jianxiong's mind, he was also startled by himself, if the future Europe is dominated by Germany. The Soviet Union was "disintegrated" again, so even if the United States entered the war, it would be a waste of work, and this idea shocked Fang Jianxiong's cold sweat. That's too bold.

The mustache is a person who sometimes messes around and makes deals with him, isn't this unreliable? Let's take one step at a time. Let the mustache toss in Europe first. If China dragged out of the Soviet Union, without Germany on the Eastern Front, even if the US imperialists and Britain had the ability to land, would they dare to play a game in Normandy?

The more Fang Jianxiong thought about it, the more he felt that the world pattern of this time and space was too complicated, if China faced the Soviet Union independently, what kind of world pattern would it be at the end of this war? What if, at the end of the war, China, the United States and Germany all possessed nuclear weapons?

If Britain is defeated, the US imperialists and mustaches will fight to the death in the Atlantic. According to the temper of the mustache, he must be going to the Americas. The situation when the time comes. It's hard not to think about it.

Fang Jianxiong fell into deep thought and was silent for a long time. Todman was nervous in his heart, the current Sino-German relations are very delicate, and the roots lie in Japan. In order to encourage Japan to go south, the mustache promised some benefits, and if these things were to be known by China, they would definitely affect Sino-German relations. At the beginning of the secret alliance with Japan, Todman was one of the oppositionists. Living in China for a long time has made him realize how terrible the awakening China is, and the resilience of this nation determines the astonishing war potential of this nation. It is very clear to Todman that President Fang Da has always oscillated between China and the United States, China and Germany, and has always been the object of the two countries' efforts to win over, and now that Sino-US relations have the upper hand, once the United States is drawn into the war, it will definitely be on the side of Britain. The combination of Germany and Japan against the combination of China and the United States really has little chance of winning. China has a population of more than 500 million, and it has only been a few years since the founding of the Republic of China, and this population has gone to 600 million. This almost invincible war resource cannot be compared by any country. As long as the supplies are sufficient, it can fully arm 50 million people.

Taudeman is a little taken for granted that China's biggest problem is not a population problem, but production capacity and transportation capacity. With an army of 50 million, how to solve this supply? Unless the U.S. imperialists support China in large quantities out of their responsibilities as allies, with China's existing industrial capacity, five million troops are almost the limit, and if the number of troops increases to 10 million, it will have to suffer a great loss of vitality, and it will not be able to slow down after the war for 30 years. But war is a thing, as long as it doesn't end, anything will happen. For the sake of the final victory, it is not impossible to arm 50 million people to resist the invasion in the territory of the country. Now, if you are fighting outside the borders, five million people is the limit of logistics. If you have more, you will have to go hungry when you fight.

"I have no opinion on the matter of the Military Observer Mission, but it is better to report to the Cabinet for approval, and it is necessary to go through the normal procedures. There is also a US ** affairs observation group will come in the near future, and this situation should also be explained to old friends. In addition, please convey to the head of state of your country about the arrival of European Jews in China, and the policy should be more relaxed. There is a shortage of industrial workers in China, and the Jews are still a very good labor force. Fang Jianxiong thought about it for a while, and still replied.

This reply made Todman overjoyed, and this time he came to ask for a meeting, mainly on military matters. Germany was very concerned about the war between China and the Soviet Union. The reason is very simple, the mustache wishes that China and the Soviet Union would fight each other and hurt their vitality. No matter from which point of view, the mustache most wants to see the soda beat you to the death, and he is so relieved to clean up the UK. The British Navy in this time and space has not been able to complete the heavy task of destroying the French Navy, and now the German Navy has been greatly enhanced. Together with the Bismarck, which was about to enter service, the German Navy was already equipped to shake the security of Britain at sea.

Not to mention, the recent German submarine record has gradually shown, at present, the German submarine has not yet provoked the strength of British warships, but breaking diplomatic relations at sea, this is the old business of German submarines. In August, the German submarine force sank 100,000 tons of British freighters, and at the beginning of September, they sank 30,000 tons.

At this time, China was entangled in the Soviet Union, and Hitler was already able to look forward to a good situation of unifying Europe.

Todman's meeting went to a successful conclusion, and it didn't stay long. Before Fang Jianxiong had a chance to continue reading the materials, Chen Bui came again: "British Minister Johnson has arrived in Dihua. "Fang Jianxiong is very strange, the British always seem to pay not enough attention to China, and the position of minister is often for life. The last minister, Zhu Erdian, worked in China for n years, and he was replaced when he retired after he couldn't do it. This is not like the United States, which will be replaced in a few years.

"When did Johnson arrive? Why is there no news beforehand? Fang Jianxiong's face was displeased, and Chen Bui didn't want to say anything, this matter was handled by Beijing, and he shouldn't say anything.

"I don't know." Chen Bui replied like this, of course Fang Jianxiong was not satisfied, waved his hand and said, "Let Yunong come here." ”

Dai Chunfeng was able to accompany him, and he cherished this opportunity very much, his residence was on the side, and he immediately trotted over when he received the call, and when he saw President Fang Da, he didn't wipe the sweat on his forehead. "Wipe your sweat first!" Fang Jianxiong was in a better mood, and the CIA was not entirely to blame for this matter, but similar surveillance should be arrested in the future.

"The British minister has arrived, how did he get here?" Fang Jianxiong's way of asking was very artistic, and when Dai Chunfeng heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that he had made mistakes in his work. Fortunately, the president is a person with a big belly, and he has no intention of reproaching.

"I'll ask." Dai Chunfeng had a very good attitude, which also showed that he had arranged someone next to the British minister, this table Fang Jianxiong was very satisfied, nodded and pointed to the phone on the desktop. "President, let's use the telegraph, the phone is not safe." Dai Chunfeng explained very responsibly, Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly, nodded and didn't say anything.

Less than 20 minutes after going out, Dai Chunfeng came back and reported: "I figured it out, Zhuang Sen came on a plane of China Civil Airlines, and he didn't greet the cabinet in advance, so the capital didn't report it." ”

"These Brits, they thought that the present was in the past, and they could do whatever they wanted in China. Inform the outside that Johnson came to dry him for three days. Forget it, prepare the plane immediately, and I'll go back to the capital tomorrow. Fang Jianxiong thought about it and changed his mind. I didn't worry about it before, but now it's not necessary, and it's not good to grasp the overall situation in Dihua. Moreover, in the materials submitted by Dai Chunfeng, it was recently discovered that some officials had made articles on the issue of munitions, and Fang Jianxiong wanted to go back and rectify it.
