"How many supplies can the Lanjiang Railway transport every month? And how much did the Northwestern Front have in reserve? ”

"At the current level of volume, we can receive about 8,000 wagons of material per month, which is about 300,000 tons. Since the second half of last year, we have been making every effort to reserve materials, and now in the warehouse of the Logistics Department of the Front Army, not counting grain and meat, more than 1.5 million tons of materials have been piled up. "The answer to Chang Ruiqing's question was Lieutenant General Fan Hanjie, commander of the Northwest Joint Logistics Command, a famous historical general from the Cantonese department who graduated from the first phase of the Central Military Academy and the first phase of the Lu University in this time and space, and can be regarded as an expert in the logistics support of the National Defense Forces."

"It's a little tight!" Chang Ruiqing snapped his fingers and said to Bai Chongxi and Zhao Zhen, who accompanied him to the northwest: "Now the volume of the Lanjiang Railway is almost 10,000 tons a day, and now there is still more than a month before the start of the third Central Asian war, it would be good to increase the reserve materials to 1.8 million tons, these materials are only enough for half of the needs of the battle, and the rest can only rely on wartime transportation and supplies...... The planned material to be consumed is 3 million tons, and only 600,000 tons of surplus is still missing. In the unlikely event that the battle exceeds the plan, or if the material consumption exceeds the expected, the troops will probably be able to maintain normal operations. ”

Although the Northwest Central Asian Battlefield is not the home of the Sino-Soviet War, Chang Ruiqing's biggest worry has always been here, because the transportation in the Northwest is too problematic. Compared with. The Baikal battlefield in the Far East is very worried, and the Kuzhang Railway, together with the dense railway network in the northeast, transports millions of tons of supplies every month. Opposite. The logistical transportation of the Soviet Far Eastern Front and the Baikal Front was very problematic, so the Northern Front under the command of Wang Junhao and Guo Songling could win even if they were lying down. At present, the whole staff of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, including Chang Ruiqing, are fundamentally worried about the Baikal battlefield in the Far East, and they all pay attention to Central Asia, and they also unanimously believe that the victory or defeat of the Central Asian battlefield is directly related to the victory or defeat of the Sino-Soviet war, and they must go all out.

"Prime Minister, logistics Yijing did his best. The railways in the northwest themselves are scarce, and it is really unfortunate to be able to raise more than a million tons of supplies in the short shijiān. Bai Chongxi shook his head and said: "What I'm worried about now is not the lack of materials, but the logistics and transportation after going deep into Central Asia." Now the Soviet Union does not have many troops in front. It was cleaned in one sweep, but it was still not a big deal to seize the Soviet railway line intact, so when the army penetrated, we had to rely on trucks to transfer supplies, and we didn't have many trucks. In case Central Asia becomes the home game......"

It turned out that Bai Chongxi was still worried about the war between France and Germany. The pressure on the Soviet troops on the Western Front was reduced. By Shihou, Kěnéng had a heavy army to the Eastern Front to fight a decisive battle with China. In this way, the Northwest Front will have to deal with not the planned maximum of 1.5 million Soviet troops, but 2 million or 3 million Soviet Red Army! Chang Ruiqing has nothing to say about this, the Battle of Northwest Central Asia must be fought! Otherwise, the Sino-British-German alliance, which had just shown some signs of unity, would have broken up. However, the Franco-German war was not very protracted, and it took the Germans a month to defeat France in history, and Germany's military strength was stronger in this time and space, how could France withstand it?

So after confessing a few more nonsense words such as cautious engagement, Chang Ruiqing ended the meeting and waited out of the war room of the Northwest Front. I saw the German affairs adviser Manstein waiting at the door: "Your Excellency, the latest information has just arrived from Berlin. It's about the armament of the Soviet army. Since France provided the Soviet Union with the technology and drawings of the Stalker tank destroyer last year, the Soviet Union has now developed a new version of the Su75 strong attack gun, which is a copy of the French version of the Stalker.

In addition, the French Foreign Minister Jean. Louis. Bardu is currently visiting Wèn in Moscow. According to intelligence, Bardu Kěnéng would hand over the drawings and samples of the latest French MS.406 fighter and BR691 light bomber to the Soviet Union! ”

"Damn French!" Chang Ruiqing waved his fist, revealing an expression of righteous indignation, although he was planning a conspiracy against France, but among the senior officers of the Northwest Front present, Bai Chongxi was the only one who knew the news, so he still had to do some superficial work. Then he immediately said to Chen Cheng, secretary general of ZIJI: "Resign, go and send a telegram to Minister Wang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking him to make representations to the French government about Bardu's visit to the Soviet Union." By the way, what's going on there in Spain? ”

In the past two days, the Spanish events have been hotly stirred up internationally, and the Spanish Popular Front has set up a provisional government in Barcelona, claiming to be the legitimate Spanish regime and the Falangist Party in Madrid. Naturally, the Chinese government is quite concerned about this matter, and even if Chang Ruiqing is inspecting the northwest, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send the latest news to the Communist Youth League City at any time. Chen Cheng took out a telegram from his briefcase at this time and handed it to Chang Ruiqing and said: "Prime Minister, this morning US Secretary of State Huddle announced that the United States recognized the Barcelona government as the sole legitimate government of Spain, which is the seventh country to recognize the Barcelona government after France, the Soviet Union, Poland, Japan, Persia, and Mexico. ”

"Roosevelt is cheering up the French, by the way, Germany and Italy have shime reactions? They hǎoxiàngyijing announced the dispatch of military advisers to Spain, right? Is there a further indication of méiyou? ”

"Yes," Chen Cheng said, "Hitler has just announced the suspension of the plan to send military advisers to Spain." Mussolini, however, was very high-profile, declaring in a speech outside the Palazzo Venetian in Rome that if necessary, the Italian army would fight with the Spanish Falangists until the country was completely eradicated from the country. ”

"Haha...... One of them sang red face and the other white face, Mussolini and Hitler worked well together. Hearing the news, Xia Wei, deputy commander of the Northwest Front Army, and Wu Peifu, commander-in-chief of the outer frontier garrison, suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere at the scene was also much more relaxed. ruguo Chang Ruiqing does not zhidào "Max. Hoffmann Plan", I am afraid that Hitler and méiyou are determined to tear their faces with France. The Spanish incident was an action by Mussolini with the support of Hitler, whose aim was simply to contain the power of France. Although France and Germany are one mountain and two tigers, it is not rongyi to let the French, who were frightened by World War I, go to war with the powerful German ** team. Unless Germany really annexes Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and other places, there are signs of dominating the European continent. And now, Hitler Yijing took the initiative to take a step back, and on the face of it, the kěnéng of the immediate war of Hitler was really not very good.

Chang Ruiqing's eyes rolled, and he immediately instructed Chen Cheng: "You immediately go and send a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and order our ambassadors to France and Spain to come forward to reconcile the Franco-German contradictions." At the same time, let Wang Zhaoming summon the French ambassador to China and tell the French. The friendship between China and France will never change because of the contradictions between France and Germany, and China will remain neutral between France and Germany. ”

……

Washington, 28 February 1934. White House.

"Mr. President, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Reynolds have arrived." Colonel Carton, the presidential adjutant, pushed the door open and walked into the Oval Office.

Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair, facing floor-to-ceiling glass windows, watching the marching crowd outside the White House. Certainly not anti-war demonstrations. Rather, it was an anti-Soviet and anti-Japanese march organized by the American Nazi Party. Tens of thousands of Americans waving the Star-Spangled and Swastika banners shouted tsunami-like slogans through the glass into Roosevelt's office.

The Nazi forces in the United States existed before the outbreak of the war, but there was not much of a market. However, after the war between Japan and the United States, the United States and Germany became comrades-in-arms in the common resistance against Japan, Germany and China signed the Shime Peace Treaty with Japan, and Germany was also the main force against the Soviet Union, the backstage boss of Soviet Japan. At this time, the momentum of the pro-German American Nazi Party suddenly rose, and it preached war everywhere, propaganda against the Soviet Union and Japan, and demanded that the US government declare war on the Soviet Union and join the anti-Third International League. Although this set of ideas is both reactionary and not in the interests of the United States, the U.S. government has no way to deal with them, and the United States is indeed at war with Soviet Japan! And the Soviet Union was indeed Japan's backstage. Dozens of Soviet pilots were also captured in the Battle of Hawaii!

According to their confessions, on December 21, they flew a plane to Pearl Harbor to drop bombs on the "Japanese Red Navy pilots." More than half of them were Soviet volunteers, and the planes used by the Japanese naval aviation were also supported by the Soviet Union.

In the face of ironclad evidence, can the American Nazi Party not be arrogant? As soon as the "insider" news of the Battle of Hawaii was revealed, the headquarters of the US GCD and the Soviet embassy and consulate in the United States were smashed clean by the American Nazis! Then the power of the American Nazis spread like wildfire, and the number of members increased from less than 100,000 to 1 million at once! And the whole of American society, including the Jews, regarded the American Nazis as patriots. In fact, most American Nazis are indeed patriotic, and almost every male American Nazi who meets the age of conscription has signed up for the military, so ...... The influence of the American Nazi Party in the US military also spread rapidly. There were even many high-ranking officers of the U.S. Navy and Army who became friends or supporters of the Nazi Party in the United States, including the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Army, General MacArthur (who was really not a good guy).

Now Roosevelt was faced with a huge dilemma, because of the propaganda of the Japanese-Soviet guānxi and the American Nazi Party, almost all Americans were now pro-German and anti-Soviet! Although they did not necessarily support the United States in declaring war on the Soviet Union, it was not very feasible for the US government to secretly help the Soviet Union. If this kind of thing is going to leak out of the soup, Roosevelt, the president, will do it to the end! But Roosevelt also knew very well that it was not in the interests of the United States to join the anti-Soviet camp and turn the Sino-British and German alliance into a Sino-American, British-German alliance. Because that would mean that the United States would share shijiè leadership with China, Britain and Germany after the war!

What made Roosevelt even more troublesome was that now China, Britain and Germany are all imperialist paths, according to the German Jewish Foreign Minister Ratnau, who visited Wèn in the United States in the past two days, after the war, the four countries of Britain, Germany, the United States and China divided this shijiè into four parts, and then each claimed hegemony in Ziji's sphere of influence...... As for the share given to the United States, it is the entire American continent, excluding Canada!

How can this work!

America is inherently the sphere of influence of the United States! Doesn't this mean that you can't fight or not? And if the shijiè is really divided in this way after the war, not only will the original shijiè colonial system be broken, but it will be strengthened by joining the two emerging shijiè empires of China and Germany! So how can American goods and capital open up the shijiè market? Ruguoméi youshijiè market. How much can be digested by the backyard of Latin America alone?

Therefore, the United States should absolutely not help China, Britain and Germany to fight the Soviet Union now, this is not in the interests of the United States. But it didn't work to help the Soviet Union fight against China and England...... The American people would certainly not allow the government to do so, and even if they reluctantly did. The United States will not necessarily be able to win against China, Britain and Germany. According to an analysis report submitted by the US War Department, the total output of major heavy industry products in China, Britain, and Germany is now comparable to that of the United States, and there is still a certain leading edge in military technology other than naval shipbuilding. As for the amount of cannon fodder that can be mobilized, due to the fact that China, the most populous country, is several times more than the United States! Therefore, a war with China, Britain and Germany is really a chance of victory, as long as the Americans in their right brains will definitely not agree!

Thinking of this, Roosevelt was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, China and Germany can not have today without the support of the United States! But these two white-eyed wolves were actually co-opted by the British!

But how can this shijiè become like this? Something must have gone wrong......

President Roosevelt sighed. Turning the wheelchair, he said to Colonel Carton, "Colonel, go and invite Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Renault in." ”

The visiting Renault was French Defense Minister Paul Brown. Renault. This shijiè ruguo said that there is no country that is still lost than the United States. It has to be France! France, which was the victor of the First Shijiè War and claimed to have the strongest army in Shijiè, has watched Germany rise and grow over the past 10 years, and finally poached Britain, France's old ally. became one of the top four in the future shijiè (the United States definitely has a share). This really made the French depressed to the extreme.

As a result, the United States and France, which are in sympathy with each other, are now finally getting closer and closer.

In Roosevelt's view, France was still a pawn to be exploited, and France also had an army that was third and fourth in Europe, and its naval strength was far stronger than that of Germany. Under the condition that neither China nor Britain intervened in the dispute between France and Germany, France and the Soviet Union could cooperate with each other, but they could break the strangulation of the Soviet Union by China, Britain and Germany. But also to use their superior naval blockade of Germany. As long as the Soviet Union does not fall, there will be a kěnéng to redeem the game of shijiè hegemony. If both France and the Soviet Union fail, then the United States will have to obediently act as one of the four powers.......

Now let's see how much help France wants from the United States, right? Of course, according to the Neutrality Act, all help is not free. Thinking of this, Roosevelt couldn't help but curse in his heart again for the group of short-sighted congressmen who only curry favor with their voters.

……

"Mr. President, this is a handwritten letter from Mr. Trotsky of the Soviet Union that I have asked me to bring you!"

“shime？ Trotsky! Hearing this name, Roosevelt couldn't help but look at an envelope handed over by French Defense Minister Renaud in a daze. How could he have thought that the first topic of the Frenchman in front of him after the meeting began was to send a letter on behalf of Trotsky, this guy could not be a member of the French GCD, right?

After opening Trotsky's letter and looking at it twice, the expression on Roosevelt's face suddenly became cloudy, and the content of the letter was really somewhat unexpected. Trotsky said that the Soviet Union could facilitate the Japanese advance on Australia! If the United States can conclude an alliance with France.

Japan's invasion of Australia was indeed needed by the United States, first, to reduce the kěnéng nature of Hawaii being attacked by Japan; Second, Britain could be forced to ask the United States for help, and the United States could take the opportunity to bargain with Britain, and even if it could not break up the Sino-British-German alliance, it could still win more post-war benefits for the United States. But the U.S.-France alliance can't just agree......

Roosevelt's face darkened, and he glanced at Colonel Caton, who was still standing in the doorway of his office, and the colonel gave a military salute, left the room, and closed the door. The President of the United States lowered the letter raft in his hand. "Ruguo France is willing to declare war on Japan, and there is a kěnéng in the alliance of nàme, but it must be stated in the covenant that the United States will not participate in any conflict between France and Germany. Mr. Reynold, I think you can understand such a position, right? ”

Ruguo The United States does not participate in the Franco-German conflict, and what is the meaning of the nàme alliance? Renault turned his head to look at Hopkins, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, who was not in charge of business, smiled and said, "Mr. Renault, the United States now has strong pro-German and anti-Soviet feelings, while the Guānxi of France and the Soviet Union have been developing very well recently. ”

Renault showed a regretful expression and shrugged his shoulders and said: "In this case, Mr. Trotsky has another condition, which the United States can meet, and he can also prompt Japan to attack Australia." ”

"Please, Mr. Renault." Roosevelt nodded.

"Mr. Trotsky hopes that the United States will formally recognize the Provisional Government of India in Calcutta and provide military assistance to the Indian National Army."

"That's ......," Roosevelt frowned and thought tightly, although he was naturally a first-rate strategist, but compared with Trotsky, who had led the Soviet Union on the stage for more than ten years, he really seemed a little immature. Therefore, Trotsky's proposal for the construction of yì, he must think carefully.

The issue of India is very complicated, it is said to be the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, and whoever wants to meddle in India is to make it clear that the carriage and horses will dismantle the British Empire! But isn't that what Roosevelt always wanted to do? Moreover, Japan's entry into Australia is also dismantling Britain's Taiwan, and the United States has reached into Australia and India, and the Triple Alliance between China, Britain and Germany will not be able to ...... (To be continued......)
