Chapter 205

Roosevelt was still very happy despite the headache, because the high price showed that China's determination to form an alliance had been made. A draft is divided into more than a dozen parts, one for each staff member, targeted research, and then a "reasonable" price. For example, the P39 fighter jet that China needs, this is not verbose, and no one wants anything in the warehouse anyway. 5,000 is 5,000, and 2,000 will be delivered within half a year, which is not very difficult. Also, 3,000 C49 transport planes and 2,000 B29s, this has to be discounted, C47 is at most 1,000, and the United States can't carry it if there are more. The B29 bomber is even more expensive, the United States is not equipped with much of this thing, 200 of them, they will be delivered within half a year, and they will not be able to take out if they kill more people. 10 million tons of diesel per year, this is a bit too much, right? Up to five million tons per year, and no more. Aviation aluminum 50,000 tons ,......, what do you want so much aluminum? Up to five thousand tons.

Anyway, after pondering over and over again, a draft aid bill with a total value of about 6 billion yuan was cut by the US aides to less than 3 billion yuan. In addition, a separate aid plan was made for Hurley, as a reference for negotiations, which roughly meant where the bottom line was acceptable to the United States. If it weren't for the Soviet Union's incompetence, the U.S. government really couldn't bear to be slaughtered like this.

Negotiations lasted a full week, culminating in an agreement for the United States to aid China, with a total amount of about $3 billion, to be delivered over three years. Among them, 1,000 B39 fighters urgently needed by China will be delivered within three months, and 2,000 C47 transport aircraft. The first batch of 500 was delivered in half a year, the others were delivered in three years, and the final agreement for the B29 bomber was 800 units. Delivered in three years, the first batch of 200 aircraft was delivered within half a year. 80,000 five-ton trucks, delivered over three years. There are also other strategic materials, all of which add up, and they have slaughtered the US imperialism with a solid knife.

The United States, which was suffering from German submarines, demanded that China transfer sonar technology, and at the same time demanded that China declare war on Japan no later than the end of March '41. Of course, Fang Jianxiong cannot give the United States technology in vain, nor will he agree to the so-called deadline set by the United States. The two sides tugged at each other for another week. In the end, the United States was slaughtered again, took out some chemical technology in exchange, and approved Fang Jianxiong's conditions for declaring war on Japan by the end of June 41 at the latest.

During the Sino-US negotiations. The battles in Central Asia and Siberia also came to an end, with 400,000 enemies annihilated in the Central Asian battlefield, the Soviet army retreated across the Amu Darya River, and all heavy equipment was lost. Moscow sent reinforcements to Zhukov in time. The squadron that fought continuously stopped on the east bank of the river, and the two armies confronted each other across the river, and the battle came to an end. The Lukin division in Tashkent was heavily besieged, and because of the weather, the squadron did not attack immediately, but took a period of rest. On the Siberian battlefield, the Soviet troops of Chuikov's department were annihilated by 550,000 before and after. The loss of equipment is not counted.

After a period of statistics, the Chinese side declared that the Wehrmacht had won a heavy victory in the just counterattack against the Soviet Union. It lasted more than half a year, wiped out 2.2 million Soviet troops, captured 12,000 artillery pieces of various calibers, 1,500 tanks, 13,000 light and heavy machine guns, 800,000 rifles, 5,000 pistols, and 8,000 automobiles. At the same time, it was announced that the Central Asian side had advanced more than 600 kilometers into the Soviet Union, while the Siberian side had occupied the important town of Novosibirsk, and that our troops had now retreated to the other side of the Ob River.

As soon as this result came out, the world was shocked! How did the Chinese become so powerful, this is the former European steamroller. At that time, so many families intervened together, but they could not help the new red regime that was full of poverty.

The Soviet side hastened to declare to the outside world that the Soviet army, which had wiped out 1 million Chinese imperialist troops, captured countless troops, and achieved certain results, had made a strategic transfer.

In general, the Chinese speak more reliably, at least Britain and the United States believe that the Chinese must have moisture when speaking, but the moisture will not exceed thirty percent. On the contrary, it was the Soviet Union, which was secretive and wanted to cover up. It was Japan that frightened the news the most, and the squadron was so powerful that the security of the Far East and North Korea would be a problem.

At present, Japan's total strength in Nanyang is only 25 divisions, Korea has 25 divisions, the Far East has 10 divisions, and the mainland has 30 divisions. As soon as they saw this result, the Japanese military headquarters immediately ordered to send 15 additional divisions to the Far East. I made a lot of money in Nanyang Japan, and now I want money, guns, and a little money. Quickly form ten more divisions and regiments, and make up the whole number of 100 divisions and regiments. War Minister Hideki Tojo specifically demanded that the intelligence departments must pay close attention to the intelligence work on the Chinese side.

The captured Soviet armament squadron basically can't look down on it, the 122 howitzer is a good thing, the firing range is long and powerful, the Central Asian Front Army directly repaired and repaired 3,500 guns, many B divisions because of insufficient equipment, the largest caliber artillery is only 75, Liu Mingzhao asked Beijing, directly take the captured 122 howitzers to supplement these troops. The Far Eastern Front also got more than 1,000 122 howitzers and handed them over to the B division, which did not have large-caliber artillery, and strengthened its firepower. As for the ammunition needed, it was directly asked that the arsenals of Dihua and Kulen should step up production.

Because in winter, both the Chinese and Soviet armies suspended the operations of the ground forces, and the air force was not idle at all, and after the Novosibirsk side built enough airfields, as long as the weather permitted, hundreds of planes took off every day to bomb Omsk. On the one hand, the Soviet army, which was lagging behind in aircraft, stepped up the transfer of aircraft imported from Germany to the front line, and on the other hand, it stepped up efforts to learn technology, copying the German FW190, and at the same time designing and developing its own new fighters.

On January 15, 1941, with the support of the Chinese government, Tajikistan declared its independence and made Dushanbe its capital. And the formation of the Wehrmacht of ten infantry divisions and five cavalry divisions was announced, and the nascent Tajikistan declared an alliance with China. On the 16th, Uzbekistan declared its independence, with Samarkand as its capital, and the new government announced an alliance with China, and also formed a national defense force with 20 infantry divisions and 5 cavalry divisions.

The Chinese government was the first to recognize these two countries, and funnily enough, Japan was the second to recognize these two countries, and Italy was the third. Britain and the United States, on the contrary, appeared to be very cautious and did not express their position for a long time. Germany was also cautious and did not take a stand. However, Hitler privately sent a telegram to Fang Jianxiong, congratulating the Chinese National Defense Forces on their great victory in the self-defense counterattack. Churchill and Roosevelt also privately called to congratulate him, and asked Fang Jianxiong to understand that the current situation of Britain and the United States is not suitable to admit this.

After the victory at Midway, the Japanese swept across the islands of the Pacific Ocean, and on January 30, under the cover of the navy, two or three divisions, a heavy artillery brigade and a mechanized brigade landed in Papua New Guinea. Two infantry divisions of the Australian army stationed there, resisted for less than a week before surrendering. Japan approached Australia and began to frantically fortify its islands in the Pacific. Japan, which is well aware of its own strength, has set its ultimate goal on Australia and India, and after obtaining sufficient resources, it is Japan's real goal to turn around and fight a decisive battle with China.

Judging from this timetable, Japan needs at least a year and a half to a year of preparation, which is why Japan is the first to jump out and recognize the two Central Asian countries except China. Japan hopes to stabilize China and buy time for war preparations. Similarly, Fang Jianxiong also needs time; on the one hand, he needs time to rest and recuperate in the two battlefields of the Soviet Union; on the other hand, the newly formed troops need time to step up training, especially the technical arms; some B divisions also need to seize the time to replenish their equipment; and the air force needs to import and receive US planes and transform them into combat effectiveness. At the beginning of 1941, there was a brief lull in Asia. (To be continued......)
