Volume 14 The Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 31 Two Heavens

Obituary Entrance Month. 【Reading Network】The international situation has appeared in the drastic changes, and there is a seedling spoon that turns around.

On 3 July, Premier Yong Yugang of the State Council of the Republic of China concluded his visit to five Central Asian countries. Depart from Astana and return home.

Although before that, international opinion was unanimously convinced that the authorities of the Republic would take this opportunity to extend the scope of application of the Treaty of Rome to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and to "sell" the treaty to Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. And put pressure on the pro-Russian Kazakh authorities, but during the visit, Yongyuwang did not mention anything related to the Treaty of Rome to the Central Asian countries, nor did it put pressure on the Kazakh authorities.

Before returning to China, he was interviewed by reporters from abroad. Yongyuwang clearly mentioned that the Republic of China is committed to maintaining peace and stability in Central Asia, and will not do anything that will harm the security and stability of Central Asian countries, let alone allow other forces to undermine peace and stability in Central Asia.

Perhaps this answer best explains Yongyuwang's trip to Central Asia.

According to the interpretation of the US news media, Yong Yugang's trip to Central Asia must have conveyed the attitude of the authorities of the former Soviet Union to the republics. That is, any move that undermines the strategic balance in the Central Asian region will be considered a threat to the interests and security of the republic. It is a direct challenge to the republic, and the real significance of this attitude is not to deter the five Central Asian countries, but to convey it to Russia through the authorities of the Central Asian countries, especially Kazakhstan, so that the Russian authorities, who are testing the bottom line of the republic, will be reined in.

To put it bluntly, the authorities of the republic are already very impatient with the provocations of Russia.

The problem is that the two U.S. television stations are not worried. Judging from the situation at the time, Bi and Gang were able to calm down, and he must have mastered the inside story.

Two days later, the situation became clearer.

On the day of the month, after announcing the list of the second batch of re-equipped troops, the Russian authorities did not immediately carry out a large-scale military movement, but let the planned re-equipping divisions stay at the station, waiting for the latest orders.

This time, Al Jazeera was the first to do a comprehensive report.

According to the report of this Arab news outlet. There is only one reason why the Russian army did not send the re-equipped troops to the training ground in the border area to strengthen the border deployment as they did last time: the weapons and equipment required for the re-equipment have not yet arrived in Russia, that is, the Russian authorities have not yet been able to do more immediately. Division Dress-up.

Now, it is not difficult to be clear and calm.

As we all know, as early as after the war in India, the ice between the United States and Russia was broken, and bilateral military cooperation gradually unfolded, and the main mode of cooperation was that Russia provided resources, the United States provided technology, and advanced military achievements were shared. Although for a long time after that, Russia's military industrial system was still independent, and the Russian authorities did not relax relevant regulations, such as prohibiting American companies from annexing Russian military enterprises, prohibiting American companies from building military factories in Russia as sole proprietors, and prohibiting American companies from participating in Russian military bidding alone. But in the context of the growing technological gap. The Russian authorities have had to make compromises and concessions based on the actual situation, for example, as early as the year of Lifei. Russia gave up the caliber standard of the electromagnetic gun under the metric unit, and adopted the caliber standard of the British unit in the United States, that is, the electromagnetic gun was divided into three levels according to the quality of the shell, and the scope of use was limited. Around the time of his arrival, he was affected by the increasingly tense international situation. The Russian authorities have accelerated the transformation of military standards.

In fact, by this time, most of the main battle weapons and equipment of the Russian army were branded with the shadow of the United States. Naturally, there is no need to say much about the fighters of the Air Force and the warships of the Navy. Even Russia's vaunted army's main battle weapons embody American values. Take the Russian army's batch equipment of main battle tanks as an example, this kind of tank, which was finalized in the first year and put into production in 2 years, was jointly developed by the Chrysler Ground Equipment Company of the United States and the Russian Ural Vehicle Factory, and the overall design is comprehensively borrowed from the old Wang main battle tank of the United States, and some people even call it Russia. More importantly, many subsystems and spare parts of this main battle tank, such as high-power electromagnetic guns, firepower electric energy supply units, high-power conductive motors and integrated observation and sighting systems, are developed by Chrysler Corporation, and the thermal power supply units are actually high-grade composite batteries and integrated observation and sighting systems are produced in factories in the United States, exported to Russia in the form of finished products, and then assembled by the Ural Vehicle Plant. Interestingly, even the assembly plant was built as a joint venture and did not use the original production lines of the Ural Vehicle Plant.

In the words of Chrysler, the production line of the Ural Vehicle Plant is too backward to meet the requirements for the production of the main combat platform on the ground. The production line had to be rebuilt.

To put it mildly, the development and production are almost all decided by Chrysler.

This is not the case with ground weapons, not to mention other vertical weapons.

From another point of view, the fact that the Russian authorities are able to entrust the heavy responsibility of arms production to American companies has a great deal to do with the strategic choices of the Russian authorities, in addition to the fact that the Russian arms enterprises really lack the necessary advanced technology and productive forces. You must know that after deciding to defect to the United States to counter the republic, the Russian authorities must first consider the strategic security of their homeland, and the brunt of this is its military-industrial system.

Although Russia has a large indigenous air defense network. It also has a strategic defense system that is not too backward, but in the face of the powerful strategic strike force of the republic, the native defense system of Russia is invulnerable. To describe the six affected by this, Russia will definitely lead the backer of security and stability. In the whole world, I am afraid that only the United States has the ability to become Russia's backer. Imagine that after the factory was completely destroyed in this decade, if the Russian army's standard weapons and equipment can be produced in the factories of the United States, and the United States has absolute sea supremacy in the North Atlantic, the weapons and equipment produced by the American fire factories will be continuously sent to Russia, so that the Russian army can continue to fight.

It is precisely in this way that Russia will fully cooperate with the United States and the world.

In the same way, as long as there are equipment projects in which the US fire enterprises participate, not only do they all adopt US standards, but they also try their best to design according to the standards of US enterprises' production lines, and even adopt US military standards in some aspects, so as to be able to accept US-made weapons and equipment when necessary.

Looking back. It is not difficult to understand why U.S. military assistance is so important.

Of course, the United States did not provide the most advanced weapons and equipment at that time. In any case, in peacetime, apart from providing the most advanced weapons and equipment to the US military, the US authorities have no reason to reserve the most advanced weapons and equipment for other countries, let alone give them away free of charge. According to official US announcements, it was shipped to Russia at that time. In fact, only some old weapons and equipment that have been mothballed for more than the old years are in accordance with US military standards, and the vast majority of heavy weapons on the ground have been mothballed for the old years. That is, after the old year is sealed, it must be decommissioned and destroyed, and it is not a rumored new type of weaponry.

It can be seen from this that the military mobilization of the Russian army basically has nothing to do with the military assistance of the United States.

To be precise, the Russian authorities have redeployed the main field forces in the name of US assistance.

Thus, after the intolerable attitude of the republic, the Russian authorities naturally thought twice and thus restrained themselves in the mobilization of the second-tier troops, only taking a position without taking substantive action. It can be said that given the situation at that time, if the Russian authorities sent a number of divisions of second-line troops to the border areas, not to mention that the republic would be unbearable, I am afraid that even the European Union would jump three feet high.

The question is, will the Russian authorities abandon their proactive offensive strategy as a result?

The answer is obviously no, tactical deployment is easy to adjust, but strategic deployment is difficult to adjust.

From the actual situation, it will. If the Russian authorities decide to switch from active offensive to passive defense after the main division is staked, in addition to wasting precious time, it will turn the military deployment into a disaster, and the opponent will feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. As a result, Russia will completely lose the initiative. The results can be imagined. Even if Russia is willing to submit to its vassals, I am afraid that the Republic will not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

All in all, Russia has not flinched. Just adjusted the strategy.

In any case, after the Russian authorities relented somewhat, the international situation, which had been so tense that it was breathless, was finally able to take a breath. Of course, the reality hidden beneath the surface is the polar opposite of what is seen.

According to the U.S. news media, the 3rd of the month. After Yongyuwang returned to the new capital of the Republic, he was taken to the Yuan Mansion before he could go home and change his clothes, and explained to Pei Chengyi the specific situation of the trip to the five Central Asian countries. That is, on this night. It is quite possible that the authorities of the republic have made a new judgment of the situation, reassuring Russia that it will be superficially soft, but secretly will continue to intensify preparations for war.

That night, Yongyuwang did go to the Yuan Mansion, but did not discuss these matters.

In fact, it was not until the 6th of the month that the Russian authorities announced that they would not temporarily redeploy the second batch of reequipped troops. Pei Chengyi held a high-level meeting in the Yuan Mansion. Discuss the situation and what the Republic should do.

Judging from the subsequent changes and exhibitions of the situation. It was at this meeting that the authorities of the Republic made a final decision on the situation.

There is no doubt that Russia's "delaying tactics" have failed to achieve any results.

It can be said that it is still the US military assistance to Russia that affects the situation. In the large order of assistance issued by the US authorities, what really needs to be paid close attention is not the hundreds of fighter planes, thousands of main battle tanks, and hundreds of sets of electromagnetic guns. Rather, hundreds of transport aircraft, especially those with vertical take-off and landing capabilities, are tactical ones. Both the Indian War and the Middle East War proved that in modern ground warfare, the importance of the ability to project troops exceeds the ability to project firepower, and whether or not the enemy can be defeated or won. With the establishment standards of the Russian army and the airlift capacity of the US tactical transport aircraft, only the tactical transport aircraft only need to be erected to deliver the Russian infantry division to the blade within the time of delivery. Kilometers away on the battlefield. If a young tactical transport aircraft is dispatched at the same time, it can meet all the main battle equipment of an infantry division, or an infantry division plus an independent artillery brigade, within the time of departure. From the point of view of continuous operation, 2 tactical transport aircraft are capable of transporting infantry divisions, or their equivalents, to the front line in a sustained, weekly campaign. If it is used to transport combat materials, it can ensure that it is sufficient for the combat needs of the division.

All in all, the hundreds of tactical transport planes provided by the United States are definitely a big killer.

The transport planes have already arrived in Russia. Adaptation exercises are being carried out by Russian pilots.

According to the information provided by the Chop Intelligence Bureau, the fastest half of the body, and the latest of the Russian Army Aviation can master this suitable machine. and supervise the canonical set-in.

Of course, this is only one of the necessary conditions for Russia to go to war.

As we all know, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If the Russian army wants to attack, it must first transfer and hoard war materials.

Compared with the mobilization of troops, the transfer of materials is much more low-key and is not easy to attract attention. For example, in August, the Republic of China made adjustments to the military material reserves in the northwest, northeast, and the Korean Peninsula, which only attracted the attention of the intelligence agencies of the United States and other countries, and did not make the news media feel a fuss and did not receive public attention. Similarly, after Russia stopped moving its troops, it accelerated the adjustment and storage of materials.

From a military point of view, judging whether an army is preparing for attack or defense depends mainly on the deployment and storage of materials, in addition to looking at the deployment of the army. At the tactical level, before the offensive begins, it is necessary to strike quickly, fiercely and intensively, in an effort to tear apart the enemy's defense line at the first time and open a breakthrough for the ground offensive troops. Compared with the offensive, the distribution of materials and the way of hoarding in defense are completely opposite, because it is not known in which direction the enemy will attack, and when it will attack, so in the preliminary preparations, the materials will be scattered and stored, and as far away from the battle line as possible, by the defense forces in various places. In peacetime, the armies of almost all countries are in a state of strategic defense, at least the armies defending the homeland. As a result, if the Russian army wants to take the initiative to attack, it will have to redistribute supplies before the war breaks out.

Suffice it to say, herein lies the key.

If Russia has the strength of a republic, it will take decades to strengthen its indigenous infrastructure, and it will also make preparations for war more secretive. The problem is that Russia's infrastructure is far inferior to that of the republics, especially in Asia, east of the Urals, where there are many deficiencies. For example, in the Siberian region, which stretches from Yekaterinburg in the west to Novosibirsk in the east, there is only one railway line that is completely within the territory of Russia. Other words. Resources from the Far East, as well as goods destined for it, pass through this railway line. It is conceivable that as long as the transportation situation on this railway line is closely monitored, it will be possible to grasp the situation of Russia's material transfer.

With the strategic reconnaissance capability of the republic, even if it does not rely on spy networks, it is well aware of Russia's preparations for war.

According to the relevant information published later, since the end of the old month, the Russian authorities have been planning to transfer military and strategic materials to the border areas, especially Siberia and the Far East. For example, in. In the early part of this month, in the name of disaster relief, the Russian authorities sent to Siberia and the Far East enough to supply 10,000 tons of grain for half a year, as well as mobile prefabricated houses that could be used to house more than one million people. There is no doubt that no one can say whether these grain and prefabricated houses were used for disaster relief, military reserves, and military camps. There are many similar situations, such as the Russian authorities, also in the name of disaster relief. At the end of the month, it took over all the hospitals in the Siberian region and organized medical personnel and medical supplies to go to remote disaster areas, which, according to information intercepted by the intelligence services of the republic, were not used for disaster relief, but were secretly recruited by the Russian army.

It can be seen from this that the Russian authorities are making concessions on the surface, but in fact they are actively preparing for war.

In this case, the republic has no choice. You can only prepare for war with preparation.

After the meeting, the Republic of China began to transfer military and strategic supplies to the northern border region in the evening, and dispatched relief forces to the northwest under the pretext that the northwest region had suffered the worst ice and snow disaster of the century, just like the Siberian region of Russia. Temporary camps have also been built to accommodate the victims of the disaster, such as Gash, Jinkesu, Yining, Karamay, and Altay.

By the end of the month, the Republic's disaster relief work in the northwest region was in full swing.

According to U.S. news media reports, the temporary camps built by the Republic in the northwest region can accommodate one million victims, of which only a few camps in Karamay and Yining have accommodated fewer than 10,000 victims, and the other camps are either vacant or controlled by disaster relief forces. In other words, the purpose of the temporary camps was not to resettle the victims, but to prepare for the imminent outbreak of war.

The question is, where are the combat units of the republic?

Not to mention the news media of other countries, even the news media of the United States and Russia, did not report on it, that is, there was no evidence of military mobilization in the republic. Although the US news media included the Republic's disaster relief forces, the whole world knows that after several military reforms, the Republic's armed police forces have been separated from their combat formation, and their main task is to maintain national stability and provide disaster relief, rather than fighting foreign wars. Among other things, the armed police force became a pure light force before the force. If there is no heavy equipment at all, it will not be able to take on the mission of foreign warfare.

One of the explanations is "that the authorities of the republic are confident in the combat effectiveness of the regular army."

As the new year draws to a close, the confidence of the authorities of the countries will soon be verified. It is said that the book is full of umbrellas
