On the same day that Chang Ruiqing returned to Nanjing, the capital of China, with an ambiguous "Sino-British-German London Joint Declaration" at the end of his visit to the UK. All the high-ranking generals of the Northwest Front gathered in the important city of Komsomol in the outer frontier to attend an extremely important military meeting.

“…… As of 25 March, China's Northwest Front Army was organized into two army groups. It does not include the National Civilian Guard Army, of which the Outer Frontier Army Group is under the jurisdiction of the Second Armored Army (composed of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Corps and the 6th Cavalry Army), the Third Army (composed of the 10th, 11th and 12th Armies), the Fourth Army (composed of the 13th, 15th and 16th Armies), the 46th Army (the 136th Infantry Division, the 138th Infantry Division, the Air Force Outer Frontier Command (under the jurisdiction of one and a half aviation divisions), the Air Force Outer Xinjiang Air Defense Command (under the jurisdiction of 9 independent anti-aircraft artillery regiments), The artillery cluster (under the jurisdiction of 9 independent heavy artillery regiments) and other units is composed of a total strength of about 460,000 troops, about 500 tanks and assault artillery, about 3,300 artillery and heavy anti-aircraft guns, and about 900 aircraft; The Northern Xinjiang Army Group is composed of the 5th Armored Army Group (composed of the 5th Armored Army, the 7th Cavalry Army, and the 14th Motorized Infantry Army), the 8th Army (composed of the 17th Army, the 18th Army, the 19th Army, and the 20th Army), the 137th Infantry Division, the Air Force Northern Xinjiang Command (under the jurisdiction of 1 aviation division), the Artillery Northern Xinjiang Group (6 independent artillery regiments), and the Air Force Northern Xinjiang Air Defense Command (6 independent antiaircraft artillery regiments), with a total strength of about 400,000 troops......

Among them, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Panzergrenadier Divisions of the 5th Panzer Corps, which were newly transferred from the mainland to Northern Xinjiang, were strengthened in January this year, and each division was equipped with an armored regiment (consisting of 2 armored battalions and 1 self-propelled artillery battalion), two panzergrenadier regiments, a motorized infantry regiment and a self-propelled artillery regiment. The number of tanks and assault artillery attached to the whole army has reached 754, and the armored assault capability has been significantly improved, and Yijing is enough to afford the main attack task of this battle.

Furthermore. The National People's Guard Garrison under the command of the Northwest Front Army Command currently has three garrison commands, four urban defense commands, one logistics command, 72 divisions of 24 armies, 45 independent brigades and 77 independent garrisons, with a total strength of more than 1.32 million troops......

In the headquarters of the Northwest Front Army in the city of the Communist Youth League in Outer Xinjiang, an operational meeting was being held at this time. Liu Mingzhao's Sichuan accent kicked off the prelude to the Northwest Armageddon. After introducing the situation of his own troops, he walked to the large map in the combat conference room, picked up a baton and pointed to the map, and continued.

"For now. The deployment of the enemy and us in northern Xinjiang and outer Xinjiang is as follows: On the northern Xinjiang side, the Soviet cavalry group that had previously broken through into the northern Xinjiang steppe took the initiative to retreat after our reinforcements gathered. Now the main forces of our Northern Xinjiang Army Group are facing off with the East Turkestan Group of the Soviet Army on the line from Zaisangpo to Alahu; The main force of our Outer Xinjiang Army Group was in the area of Komsomol City, confronting each other with the Soviet Army's Balkhash Lake cluster; In addition, the Ili River cluster of the Soviet army formed a situation of encirclement of our city of Almaty.

According to intelligence. The Soviet Northwestern Front was also replenished on a larger scale in the past winter. The 34th, 36th, and 39th Soviet armies, which had been completely annihilated in the Battle of the Alaresa River last year, were rebuilt. Soviet reinforcements from no less than 3 armies and 2 tank armies arrived on the Central Asian front, with a total strength of 1.5 million to 1.7 million. In addition, the armored forces of the Central Asian Front of the Soviet Army, which suffered heavy losses in last year's operations, have also been strengthened, and the number of tank armies under the jurisdiction of the Central Asian Front has increased to eight, with more than 1,600 tanks of various types, including at least 300 Su76 type attack guns. Thus, the Soviet tank cluster will be in the upcoming battle. It is hoped that all departments will make full ideological preparations......

At last. As a result of the successful outcome of Premier Chang's visit to London, from now on China and Germany will cooperate more closely in the war against the Soviet Union. According to the agreement, before the start of the second phase of the Battle of the Three Frontiers in Central Asia, Germany will launch a massive feint on the Polish-German battlefield on the Western Front in order to attract the attention of the Soviet army and relieve the pressure on our Northwest Front. ”

Liu Mingzhao continued to introduce the military situation on the front line, and his baton was slowly outlined along the northern and outer frontiers, and the numbers of the Chinese or Soviet armed forces were pointed out, and important railways and highways, as well as important strongholds and cities. As if to imply the interweaving of blood and fire that would happen in the future, a shijiān made the Wehrmacht generals who listened to the report in this room have an irrepressible excitement. Someone peeked at Bai Chongxi and found that the commander of the Northwest Front had a calm expression, and it seemed that he was all in his chest.

Everyone is zhidào, this time the Northwest Armageddon is still very difficult. Constrained by thousands of kilometers of logistical lines, the National Defense Forces were unable to maintain an oversized military presence in the northwestern three Xinjiang regions, and nearly 800,000 regular troops and 1.3 million militia members overloaded the Lanjiang Railway. On the other hand, the Soviet army, thanks to the joint support of the two railway networks in Central Asia and Siberia and the reserves of many years before the war, was enough to maintain a regular army of more than 1.7 million people and a border guard force of nearly 400,000 people. Although the two sides are almost the same in terms of total strength, the actual combat superiority is still on the side of the Soviet army!

The operational meeting continued, and Liu Mingzhao began to deploy combat missions to various units under the Northwest Front Army in an official dialect with a Sichuan accent. At this time, it was still midnight in Moscow, the Kremlin lights were still bright, and in the conference room, the enlarged meeting of the Central Political Bureau of the Soviet GCD was continuing. The revolutionary prophet gulped down his cigar and held confidential information from the British GCD in his hand, his face cloudy.

This time, the British GCD obtained much more detailed information than before, packed with a thick bag of text jiàn, all of the most classified copies of the text, and even a large stack of photographs, which were taken of a factory that had been blown into ruins by something that was not zhidà oshime, the Shime Strage isotope separation factory, which was said to be used to produce an isotope of uranium used in anti-tank armor-piercing shells.

As a result, because of a series of complicated reasons why Trotsky could not mingbái, this reactionary factory exploded! This would have been a great thing. But then researchers from Britain, Germany and China went to the Strage plant to investigate, and after checking for a while, they actually came to a conclusion, saying that the chain fission reaction of Shime uranium-235 was out of control, causing a fire and a big explosion!

And further conclusions are drawn. The chain fission reaction of this shime uranium-235 can be used to make a super bomb! After repeated calculations by physicists in Britain, Germany and China, the answer is that about 20 kilograms of uranium-235 ruguo with an abundance of 90% can produce more than 20,000 tons of TNT explosives if fully reacted! And such a super bomb with uranium-235 as a charge weighs less than 1 ton, which means that ordinary medium and long-range bombers can carry this super bomb and use it to bomb the big cities of the hostile country, massacre the civilian population of the other side in large numbers, and destroy the economy of the other side...... It sounds like the explosion of the arsenal has changed from a good thing to a bad thing. This is really reactionary to the point of inexplicability!

"Comrade Krestinsky, do you have a shime opinion?" Trotsky asked, turning his head and staring at the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR Krestinsky. The latter was the number two man in the Soviet Union and the great steward of the Soviet state, and the work except for the military and the Shijiè revolution was basically under his control, and the scientific and technological work of the Soviet Union was no exception. Before this evening's enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau. Krestinsky took these texts and photographs to the USSR Institute of Physics for expert advice. So Trotsky asked him questions only now.

Obviously, Krestinsky's answer was not good news, and he replied with a sad face: "Comrade Trotsky, I have consulted the most outstanding scientists of the Soviet Union, such as Comrade Khlobin, Comrade Kurchatov and Comrade Semenov. They told me that in two recent issues of the journal Nature, Chinese physicist Li Fuji and Danish physicist Nils. In Bohr's paper, the former discovered the phenomenon of nuclear fission by bombarding uranium atoms, while the latter theoretically demonstrated the basic principle of nuclear fission. The theories of Ruguo Li Fuji and Bohr are credible, and Comrade Khlobin they believe that nuclear fission bombs are made with kěnéng. And the big bang in Strazh is also very kěnéng due to the nuclear fission chain reaction of uranium-235...... At least theoretically, there is a kěnéng implementation. ”

"So imperialism has kěnéng to make that shime nuclear fission super bomb?" Trotsky asked: "Do the scientists of the USSR Institute of Physics really think so?" ”

"They just think that there is such a kěnéng, but ...... There is also a kěnéng that is an outright scam. Because they don't mingbái. How did the British GCD discover such an extremely important scientific project for military purposes? And it's so detailed, and there are many confidential texts jiàn! There must be a conspiracy in this. ”

"Well, scientists are very vigilant!" Trotsky was silent. This matter is indeed very strange, and he doesn't believe that the UK will have such magical powers, they can get some general information, maybe there is kěnéng, but there are many confidential information, and they are all up-to-date, how can it fall into the hands of the British GCD?

But Yue Fei, the head of Soviet intelligence, gave another line of thought: "Comrade Trotsky, I think this information is credible, and I also think that British imperialism deliberately leaked confidential information to us!" This was due to the contradictions between them and the two imperialist countries, China and Germany, and the British did not want to see us defeated by China and Germany, which would allow China and Germany to sit on the hegemony of the British. According to intelligence, at the just-concluded London meeting of the leaders of Britain, Germany and China, the leaders of China and Germany had joined hands to put pressure on the British side, and now the British kěnéng wants a result in losing both China and Germany! That's why we are given such confidential information. ”

"But the British are not worried that we will defeat Germany and China with this secret weapon and finally drop this superbomb on their heads?" Tukhachevsky was still a little skeptical, and he was very unkind about Yue Fei's pessimism about the Shijiè revolution.

Krestinsky shook his head and said: "This kind of super bomb is not made by méiyou nà merongyi, and the scientists of the Institute of Physics told me that the biggest difficulty in producing a super bomb that can be used in actual combat is to obtain a sufficient amount of uranium-235, which is an isotope of uranium, and the content in metallic uranium is less than 1%. Moreover, the difference between uranium-235 and uranium-238 is very small, and it is difficult to extract large quantities. ”

"And how did imperialism extract uranium-235?" Tukhachevsky asked: "Their Strazh isotope separation plant is used to extract uranium-235, right?" ”

"It took several years for scientists from Britain, Germany and China to solve this problem, and their initial research was aimed at producing uranium alloy armor-piercing shells." "And it takes a lot of electricity to extract uranium-235. The power consumption at the Strages plant is enormous. In addition, there is intelligence that the Chinese also have an isotope separation plant 10 times larger than the Strazh plant, and they have a sufficient amount of uranium-235!

We also suspect that the Chinese have long been the secret of uranium, because the whole project was proposed by the Chinese, and the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 was very related to uranium bombs! ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became depressed. All eyes were on Trotsky. The eyes of the revolutionary prophet were hesitant, and he swept around the room again and again, taking in everyone's expressions. Tukhachevsky, including Tukhachevsky, had a look of trepidation.

"No, they didn't have a lot of uranium-235 in 1923, isn't the technology for refining uranium-235 only matured in recent years?" Trotsky shook his head. Rejected everyone's conjectures. However, Kamenev, chairman of the All-Union Earthquake Prevention Committee, who was sitting in the corner, interjected: "The Germans should also méiyou a sufficient amount of uranium-235, right?" Didn't the Strazh factory be blown up into ruins? ”

Trotsky was stunned for a moment. Nodding his head, he said: "This question needs to be explained by the experts of the Institute of Physics, and we laymen should not discuss our brains too much." Now we need to consider only one question, that is, whether the Soviet Union wants to start the research of nuclear fission bombs? Comrade Kamenev, you can talk about it. ”

Kamenev, who is now a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, is only attending an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau today, and it is reasonable that he has the right to speak. But since Trotsky opened Chrysostom, he could not speak without taking a stand. "Comrade Trotsky, my opinion is that research should be carried out. Because regardless of whether the information provided to us by the British GCD is true or not, but there is yidiǎnyijing can be sure. Britain, Germany and China have begun joint research on nuclear fission bombs! Now that they have begun to study it, it means that this bomb kěnéng was made, and the USSR must not lag behind in this regard! ”

Trotsky felt that Kamenev's words were very reasonable, and he turned his head to look at Krestinsky again: "Can we still squeeze out enough resources and funds to start the project of a nuclear fission bomb?" ”

Krestinsky Mingbái Trotsky was determined to make a nuclear fission bomb, he thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, if you compress the other difāng, there will always be funds and resources...... By the way, Comrade Trotsky, do you think that we are going to set up a special committee with the participation of relevant experts to deal with this matter? It is up to the experts to decide how much money and resources are needed, and we laymen really can't do it. ”

Trotsky nodded, and just as he was about to approve the construction, a red telephone set on the conference table came to mind. This phone is the so-called hotline, and the other end of the phone is directly connected to the General Staff of the Red Army! Trotsky frowned, picked up the phone, and the voice of the new deputy general staff of the General Staff, Shaposhnikov, who was on duty at the General Staff, came from inside: "Comrade Chairman, the Polish Front has just sent an urgent telegram that the Trotsky line of defense is being shelled by the German ** team on all fronts!" Thousands of Luftwaffe planes crossed the border and began to bomb our airfields, camps and transportation hubs in Poznan, Upper Silesia, East Pomerania and other places! ”

"Comrade President, the Germans are about to launch a full-scale invasion of Poland!" Tukhachevsky, who could hear the sound coming out of the telephone headset clearly, stood up sharply and shouted to Trotsky: "This is a decisive battle between us and German imperialism and a crucial battle of the Shijiè revolution, and now reinforcements must be sent to the Polish Front!" He paused for a moment, and then strengthened his tone and said: "We should try our best to send troops to the Polish battlefield, ruguo we can defeat the German ** team in Poland, and the difficulties can be solved in one qiē!" ”

"Okay, Comrade Tukhachevsky, you hurry to the General Staff to take up the town, and you must make a plan to mobilize reinforcements before tomorrow morning." The final outcome of the nuclear fission bomb was still discussed, and the alarm came from the Polish battlefield, which had been relatively peaceful, and Trotsky was extremely depressed.

After Tukhachevsky left, he was in the mood to hold another meeting, hastily approved the "uranium refining committee", and let the chairman of the People's Council, Klestinsky, take full responsibility for the matter, and then declared the meeting to be adjourned. (To be continued......)
