Chapter 202

Gao Sheng stood in front of the car, hesitated for a moment and said, "Fu Shuai, there is a very urgent matter, I don't know if I can talk about it in the car?" ”

Fang Jianxiong was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get into your car." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to Gao Sheng's car, Gao Sheng hurriedly opened the door and followed him into the car. Fang Jianxiong waited for the car door to close and said, "Speak!" ”

Gao Sheng said: "When our army formed the mechanized army, it referred to the armored forces of the French army and the Soviet army. Although our army has been somewhat reduced, it is still too bloated after actual combat tests. This is evident in the top 10 armored divisions, and the biggest problem is that the logistical pressure is too great. Liu and Xia once said that 12+1 is appropriate for each tank company, and two tank regiments for each mechanized division is the logistical limit. The current establishment can be operated mainly depends on the early preparations made by our army before the war. Now that the battle lines have moved, many tanks have become decorations because there is not enough fuel. ”

Gao Sheng said very carefully, cold sweat came out of Fang Jianxiong's head, the establishment of the mechanized army was indeed influenced by the establishment of France and the Soviet Union. "I'm curious, why wait until the war is going on to say this, why didn't the two of them say it before? I don't believe it, how could the two of them, who have been in charge of mechanized units for a long time, not notice that there is a problem in the establishment at all? Fang Jianxiong's voice became stern, Gao Sheng shrank his neck, and said with a smile: "You set this matter, isn't it for everyone to maintain your dignity?" ”

"To put it bluntly, these bastards know that this compilation is not good, and they don't want to say it, right? Who doesn't want to be stronger? It wasn't until the war that I found that this was not going to work, and I said it head-on, and I used the excuse of maintaining my prestige. Do you know it? How much armor steel was imported from the United States to form these mechanized armies? Even in order to form these mechanized armies, the navy's shipbuilding plans were affected by Yanzhòng. You bastards. None of them thought about me. Fang Jianxiong was furious, this kind of behavior of eating in the bowl and looking at the pot has always been what Fang Jianxiong hated the most. As a matter of fact, when the 11th to 15th Mechanized Corps were newly organized, some people had already raised the issue of the establishment and storage, so the five new armies and one tank battalion only had 54 tanks. Instead of the previous regiment with three battalions, each battalion had 88 vehicles.

Gao Sheng didn't dare to take this words, Fang Jianxiong could still be angry. It shows that the problem is not very big. At the same time, I was secretly glad that I took the initiative to say it, otherwise I would definitely be unlucky after the battle.

"Don't pretend to be scared, you bastards. Isn't it clear to Lao Tzu? Wait until this battle is over. Let's make adjustments. Just to put some of the old Great Wall-3 tanks back. "Fang Jianxiong still doesn't mean to delve into it, the lineage is the lineage, and the national defense force can always operate in accordance with Fang Jianxiong's unity, and it is inseparable from the diehards of these lineages under him.

This phenomenon is actually caused by Fang Jianxiong, the reason is very simple, there is no army in hand, in the Republic of China after Xinhai, a situation where warlords are divided by accident. Even if the whole country was conquered by force later. And the nationalization of the army was promoted, in fact, this army was still under the orders of Fang Jianxiong. Instead of dictating to the big president and Congress. Fang Jianxiong was very helpless, because he didn't have military power, it was not easy for him to do anything. To this day, the Republic of China is still essentially a dictatorial government, and the reason why it maintains a democratic frame is for the future. The essence of dictatorship is efficiency.

Now the problem is that efficiency is there, and the problems of the army are exposed. Fang Jianxiong quietly took this matter to heart, the nationalization of the army still needs a subtle process, and it must not be done. Governing a big country is like cooking a small meal, and China has come out of a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country, and many things can only be done slowly.

When the car arrived at the hotel where he stayed, Fang Jianxiong opened the door and got out of the car by himself, went to open the door for Alice, and then pestered her in. This is just for others to see, and it can also be said to be a show. Actually, you can bring other women, but it doesn't work as well as Alice.

There are dozens of members of the president's entourage, so naturally there are people to receive them. After settling down, Fang Jianxiong slowly asked about the Siberian war situation, after all, it was better to ask in person in the capital.

Gao Sheng did his homework, and said without opening his mouth from a script: "In this battle, our army annihilated about 100,000 enemies, and basically achieved the purpose of the campaign. At present, the main purpose of the operation is to encircle and annihilate more than 300,000 Soviet troops besieged by our army, and about 100,000 defenders of Novosibirsk. Originally, the battle should have ended a long time ago, but before heavy snow fell, our army's offensive was forced to stop. The sudden drop in temperature, the troops suffered a lot of frostbite, and more than 30,000 non-combat troops were reduced. Fortunately, our army's equipment has been developed with targeted cold-resistant measures, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has not been greatly affected. The current situation is such that Chuikov, whose main forces have been heavily damaged, can only organize a defensive line with Omsk as the core, and our army is not able to advance westward until the trapped Soviet troops are resolved. It can be expected that the Soviet army, which lacked supplies, would have a hard time holding out in such weather conditions. In particular, under the firepower of our air force and ground forces, it is difficult for the Soviet troops to have a place to live, and it is expected that the battle will continue for about half a month. Since the day of dispatch, our army has suffered a total of about 120,000 casualties, of which more than 30,000 have been killed. And that's not counting the non-combat attrition part, which shows the power of the harsh Siberian winter. ”

"Okay, you go and get busy with yours, I don't have to worry too much here, hurry up and fly back, do my best to solve the Soviet army, and then take the initiative to take Novosibirsk as the core and organize defense for the winter, so as to wait for the coming year." Fang Jianxiong's heart hurt bitterly, although the casualties were so large, although it was expected, after really understanding these numbers, he was still very sad. For him, the number of casualties can only be regarded as a number, this is a national war, and he can't be soft-hearted at all.

Gao Sheng got up to say goodbye, Fang Jianxiong leaned on the sofa on his back, and Chen Bui, the chief of staff, came over and said in a low voice: "President, the Central Asian Front has called, and the mechanized troops under Liu Mingzhao have poured out of their nests and killed Bukhara and Karshi respectively, and have formed a siege on all sides of Samarkand. Yesterday night, Chen Mingren's troops broke into the city and engaged in fierce street fighting with the Soviet troops, causing many casualties. All in all, Zhukov's operation, in anticipation of our army, with about 130,000 troops, is retreating in the southwest direction. Before the retreat, the Soviets burned down warehouses and bridges, and our mechanized troops were subject to logistical supplies, and their advance was currently slow, and it was expected that in three days, the 10th Mechanized Corps would be able to reach the city of Karshi. Li Zongren's troops had already entered the city of Bukhara and immediately entered the battle. The Soviet resistance here was very fierce, and the progress of our troops was slow. Liu Mingzhao demanded that all armies do their best to eliminate the trapped Soviet troops at any cost and then turn to the defense, so that they can turn back and eat the trapped Soviet troops in Tashkent. ”

Fang Jianxiong closed his eyes to recuperate, Chen Bui quietly retreated, and the moment the door closed, he sighed. The Soviet Union was still too big, and Fang Jianxiong felt that he was in too much of a hurry. With enough room for maneuver and a steady stream of domestic replenishment, Zhukov and Chuikov will be very difficult opponents.

Whew, lightly protruding a breath, Fang Jianxiong smiled self-deprecatingly, this is originally a long-term war, otherwise I don't think much about knocking on the American bamboo pole. I don't know what kind of mood Roosevelt would have felt when he saw his price list.

"That's a scoundrel!" Roosevelt angrily threw the telegram on the table, but unfortunately he was too lame to stand up in anger.

Hopkins looked helpless, and the price offered by Fang was indeed too ruthless. No less than $2 billion in material aid per year, and require that the current year's supplies be paid in advance before entering into an alliance with the United States. It's not called taking advantage of the fire to rob and see hell.

"Franklin, I think I can promise him. Using the lack of time as an excuse, he paid for some of his supplies first, such as P-39 fighter jets, which the Navy and Air Force were unwilling to use, and put them in warehouses to occupy space. We can also pay for the aluminum materials that the Chinese urgently need. ”

"Strategically, the Soviet Union was our best ally to defeat Germany. Does this scoundrel think I can't form an alliance with the Soviet Union? Roosevelt slapped the table angrily, in fact, he was angry. The reason is obvious, once China is pushed into the arms of Germany, the British will not be able to agree in the first place, and it is estimated that Churchill will jump into the sea in a hurry. Think about it, millions of squadrons from Burma to India, what will Britain do to stop it.

"Franklin, don't get excited. According to the report of the forward military observer mission, the Chinese have so far eliminated at least one million Soviet troops in Central Asia. The Soviet Union was not as strong as we imagined, Stalin's troops were losing in the face of the fierce attack of the Chinese, and the squadron was almost on the shores of the Caspian Sea. ”

After some persuasion, Roosevelt was silent, and the rest of his staff were silent. In fact, anyone who knows Roosevelt knows that Roosevelt at this time has accepted Hopkins' opinion, and the only possibility is how to delay.

At this time, Secretary of State Hull pushed the door in like a gust of wind and said, "Kimmel is calling and has found traces of the Japanese Combined Fleet. ”

After the alliance between Britain and the United States, the Japanese Navy had to make adjustments, and it was very unrealistic to continue to attack India, and the US Pacific Fleet was not an ornament. So the Japanese Navy developed an operational plan to seize Midway, which was used as a springboard to attack Hawaii, the home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

The US Navy is also thinking about how to destroy the Japanese Combined Fleet, and there is no sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in this time and space, and the strength of the US Pacific Fleet has not been damaged in the slightest, so how can it be afraid of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The Japanese Navy, which was the first to do it, bombarded Midway Island with aircraft and naval guns, and the US Pacific Fleet arrived, and it was under this premise that a fierce battle broke out between the Chinese and US navies.

"Okay guys, it looks like we're going to put the China issue on hold for now." Roosevelt tapped the table, his wheelchair pushed over to the map, squinting at the island in the North Pacific. Seeing this, Hopkins stopped talking, silently (to be continued......
