The solemn Kremlin looked even more magnificent in the setting sun, and the Red Army soldiers on guard were in high spirits.

Moscow's decision to make temporary concessions in the Far East allowed Russia to avoid war with China in the Far East, and Russia recuperated. If it is said that the industrial countries have little effect on their cultivation and recuperation in just half a year, but for the agricultural countries, it is indeed earth-shaking changes, because as far as the recovery of the agricultural countries is concerned, as long as production is resumed, an autumn harvest can greatly restore the vitality, and Soviet Russia at this time is obviously an agricultural country.

The sound of "da, da, da" military boots sounded in the empty Kremlin.

Stalin, who was running a company, heard the footsteps and frowned, such a hurried footsteps were really a big sight, and his good mood for the autumn harvest was ruined a lot. Sure enough, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Stalin shook his head and sat down behind his desk. Sure enough, I saw Yakoda push open the door and come in with some excitement and nervousness, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yagoda saluted: "Report leader, Japan's annexation to China has been strongly opposed by the imperialist powers, and at present, the imperialist powers led by Britain, France, and the United States have sent joint forces to land in Tokyo Bay to confront the Chinese Korean Army. As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a document.

Stalin flipped through the documents and said: "It is no secret that the imperialist powers want to erase military action against China, I think they are not only acting on the Japanese side." ”

Yagoda said solemnly: "Yes, the leader is wise. The British colonial legion, which had trained a million in India, had already begun to move. Half of them advanced to the Assam region of southern Tibet, and half to Burma by sea; On the French side, 100,000 of the 300,000 colonial legions had already moved towards the north of Vietnam, and the other 200,000 under the command of the French commander-in-chief of Annam were encircling the revolutionary army in Annam, and the revolutionary army of about 50,000 was heavily surrounded by them, and the fighting was expected to end soon. Of course, we have intelligence that Raphael will soon assemble his army in northern Vietnam after the end of the battle, so as to put pressure on the Chinese side; On the American side, 300,000 U.S. troops have already boarded the ship and are expected to arrive in the Philippines in 10 days, and other countries have begun to expand their troops. ”

Stalin did not indicate. But still calmly said: "What about the Chinese?" ”

Yagoda said: "The Chinese side is also rapidly mobilizing troops to deploy on the southwestern border. I think in less than half a month, China will have a million troops on the southwestern border. Moreover, according to our investigation, the Chinese Ministry of Defense issued an order to go to retired soldiers and reservists to intensify training. In fact, these reservists have been assembled. There is even a subtle mobilization of various localities to expand the training of reserve recruits. But. According to our intelligence, it seems that both the imperialist powers and the Chinese side should not have completed their preparations for war. ”

Stalin, still looking at the intelligence, did not look up and said: "Tell me what you think." ”

"It will take time for the Western imperialist powers to convince their countries to go to war against China. It will also take time for them to expand their military spending, and most importantly, they have not yet made breakthroughs in the development of aircraft and tanks. As far as we know, heavy industrial manufacturing such as aircraft, tanks, and warship manufacturing has suffered a major blow, and waste products have piled up, and in a few months, the Chinese's important equipment manufacturing industry has almost only 50% of the original output. In this case, the Chinese and the Western imperialist powers can almost be judged to be nothing more than a bluff and will not easily provoke a war. ”

Stalin put down the documents in his hand and sneered: "Aren't you ready?" Very good. ”

Youngoda listened to Stalin's words in a bit of a fog and did not understand why.

Stalin said lightly: "It seems that we should help them." ”

"Help?" Yagoda somewhat understood what Stalin meant, but he knew that people who were too smart would die sooner, so he pretended to be confused.

Stalin said proudly: "Yes." As long as they do not fight for a day, our great Soviet is always threatened by them, and we must maintain sufficient troops, both in Eastern Europe and in Eastern Siberia, which, of course, puts great pressure on our development. Only if they fight, we can disarm in Eastern Europe and Eastern Siberia, so that the imperialist powers and the damned Chinese can rest assured that they will fight with all their might. ”

Yagoda said happily: "With a wise leader and a far-sighted vision, our great Soviet will surely flourish under the leadership of a great leader and spread the Red Doctrine against war all over the world." I arranged for my comrades among the Koreans to 'go wild' in the confrontation and turn the confrontation into a bloody battle. ”

Stalin shook his head and said: "No, no, no, Yakoda, let me ask you, who is stronger and who is weak in the confrontation between China and the entire Western imperialism?" ”

Yagoda Zhengse said: "Of course, the Western world is much stronger, although China has several weapons that are more advanced, but the industrial capacity and overall national strength are not at the same level at all. But Li Bufan, the leader of the Chinese military, will never compromise. ”

Stalin nodded: "You are right. It is undeniable that Li Bufan has a huge influence in China, but he is not the president after all, and there are opposition forces in the country. I believe that if the Chinese had fired first, given the balance of power between the two sides, Chinese President Duan Qirui and the legalized Kuomintang would have resolutely opposed the war and would have compromised their policies. In the case that the Western world is not actually ready to smash it, as long as China pays a sufficient price, I believe that the Western world will temporarily give up its determination to start a war immediately. ”

Yagoda said in surprise: "Leader wise, what do you mean?" ”

Stalin sneered: "Wait for the Chinese military deployment in place, and then let our comrades in the coalition army 'go fire' and detonate the war." In that way, Li Bufan, the leader of the Chinese military, would be able to start a war with confidence and inflict heavy losses on the great powers when they were not ready to complete it. Only when the great powers suffer unbearable losses will they be truly undying in this war, allowing them to be completely weakened by the protracted war, and our great Soviets can take the opportunity to restore industry with all their might, and even to achieve great development. ”

"Wise Leader" -

China's Ministry of Defense was busy, and all kinds of radio calls rang out.

On the huge sand table in the command center hall of the Ministry of National Defense, countless staff officers are constantly updating the flags marking the troops according to the telegram report, so as to ensure the accuracy of the situation and also enable the top level to make the most correct judgment according to the specific situation.

In the classified conference room of the Ministry of National Defense, Li Bufan, Wu Di, Li Hengshan, Li Huashan, Li Songshan, Li Huangshan, Li Air Force, Li Haijun, Sa Zhenbing, Zhang Xiaozhun, Lan Tianwei, Guo Songling, Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, Yang Yongtai, and Tang Shaoyi all looked at the miniature sand table in the conference room.

"Our equipment manufacturing industry has actually been preserving about eighty percent of its production capacity, and it is certain that it will be affected, but it is far from being as unbearable as it appears on the surface." Adjutant Li Hengshan Zhengse said, "In fact, as early as the implementation of the Great Powers' strategy to draw salaries from our technical talents, we let the Jewish technicians know that our skilled workers produce parts on the grounds that they must leave their jobs one month in advance, and of course there are a lot of scraps, and the cost will inevitably rise, but almost every Jew who leaves has technicians who can complete their work." In order to make the plan according to the plan, create their illusion, and cope with the upcoming war in Southeast Asia, we actually secretly built assembly workshops in Kunming and Panzhihua Industrial Zone, showing that only less than half of the production capacity, in fact, the excess parts are secretly transported to the workshops in Kunming and Panzhihua to complete the assembly, and even deliberately claimed to sell excess equipment, but also secretly transported here, so as to form a strong strategic support base in the southwest, as far as possible to reduce the pressure on logistics. ”

Duan Qirui and the others were extremely shocked, and they never dreamed that this would be the case. But he still said, "Extraordinary." Even if our army is well prepared, our navy is still too weak. Won't the six giant ships in Sanduao take more than half a year to be completed? Even if you want to fight, you have to wait for these six warships to be completed. ”

Li Haijun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the president, our navy has a killer feature." These six warships are called 40,000 tons, and their purpose is to lead the Western world into a naval arms race, and we have deliberately leaked the news that it will take about 10 months for the six warships to be completed, just to make the great powers think that we will at least wait until the giant ships are commissioned before launching an attack, and the purpose is to catch them off guard. ”

Xu Shuzheng frowned and said: "Even if we achieve the effect of attacking its unpreparedness by surprise and hit the great powers hard at the beginning, the industries of the great powers are dozens of times better than ours, and their replenishment is far faster than ours." When the time comes, our six giant ships will be commissioned, but I am afraid that the great powers will already serve sixty giant ships. ”

Wu Di smiled dryly: "Old Xu, how dare you go to Liangshan without three, two, three?" I'm not afraid to tell you that even if sixty ships come, we have a way to keep them coming back. We have arranged intelligence for the great powers to send their main naval forces to the South China Sea to deter our country, and we have already dug a pit waiting for them to jump into it. It is that they think that we cannot do it, so our strategy can ensure the maximum success. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun frowned and said: "However, Britain has sent a million troops, France has sent more than 300,000 troops, and if the United States has reinforcements, then their troops in the Philippines will also reach 500,000, and there are troops from other countries, once the war starts, they will also quickly advance eastward, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to deal with." ”

Li Bufan sneered: "The great powers are not ready to complete it, for the colonial legions, their armament is much lower, they lack heavy weapons, and the training time is only half a year, and they cannot form much strong combat effectiveness, which is the best opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop." The colonial legions will not be distressed if they die, and if they eat them in one fell swoop, if the great powers want to resist our attack, then they must draw the native legions from their own land to fight. ”

Wu Di smiled cruelly: "That's right, the casualties of the First World War have made them feel painful, and we have to make them suffer in this battle!" (To be continued......)
