Hitler's surprise again complicated the Turkish problem, and the previous Soviet Union's use of force against Turkey was more scolding and less applauding. The emergence of Hitler directly reversed this phenomenon www.biquge.info and now it is those who applaud or think that the Soviet Union is justified in sending troops to prevail, which directly leads to the prevailing opinion in the US opinion polls against the government's continued aid to Turkey.

Of course, public opinion is scum to the US military interest groups, and it is impossible for the Congress, which is controlled by the interest groups, to withdraw its aid to Turkey. Just a month after Hitler's arrest in Turkey, the United States delivered hundreds of early M4 medium tanks and hundreds of 105mm guns to Turkey.

As for the Turkish government, it naturally "resisted" to the end, firmly denied that it had any connection with Hitler and the Nazis, and accused the Soviet Union of deliberately framing him.

After entering December, the armed conflict between the two sides became more intense, and the Turks, who had received sufficient American aid, were ready to counterattack, and after Vasilevsky received reinforcements, he was also ready to fight a large-scale war of annihilation and bleed Turkey again. Anyway, a big war is imminent.

Looking at Yugoslavia, Tito is still insisting, in addition to continuously harassing the CIS peacekeeping forces with guerrilla tactics, he has also strengthened his control over Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, cracking down on local ethnic separatists to ensure that his remaining basic plate is no longer in trouble.

As for the CIS side, on the one hand, it is harshly sweeping up the Tito guerrillas in Kosovo, and on the other hand, it is also attacking Macedonia. As mentioned earlier, this Macedonia is not the same thing as the Macedonia with great pressure in history, and this Macedonia also has a lot of things, and it is not very harmonious with the Albanians (Macedonia has more Orthodox Christians), and Tito also instructed Macedonia to pull Kosovo's hind legs behind his back.

It's just that what Tito didn't expect was that Sverdlov was annoyed to death by him, and at this moment he was determined to dismember Yugoslavia. It's good that Macedonia doesn't make trouble, but now that it is sent to the door to make trouble, the CIS will naturally not be polite to it. After another attack by local Macedonian forces on the CIS peacekeeping force, after a political attack. With the consent of the ruling authorities and the authorization of the CIS, a new peacekeeping force entered Macedonia, which was slaughtered as soon as it came up, cleaned up Tito's local forces, and installed a Macedonian National Liberation Committee to temporarily take over the local government in Macedonia.

In this way, Tito naturally blew up and angrily attacked the Soviet Union, which was an attempt to dismember Yugoslavia, and it was a wolf ambition. Naturally, Britain and the United States have also followed all the way, making a big deal in the Security Council, indifferently saying that it is impossible for the Security Council to form any resolutions, and this body has no right to adjudicate the big hooligans.

Moreover, Macedonia is surrounded by Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Kosovo, not to mention that Britain and the United States are beyond the reach of Tito, and can only watch Macedonia change the sky.

After entering December, it is not only Macedonia that has changed the sky, but also the climax in China. First of all, the newly established East China Field Army (commander and political commissar is Chen Shuai, acting commander General Su) made persistent efforts and won the battle again. The Central China Field Army (Liu Deng's department) also rushed to the outside line, turning Henan and Hubei upside down. As for the North China battlefield, the North China Field Army (Xu Shuai and Nie Shuai's subordinates) turned Hebei and Shanxi upside down, blocking Yan Laoxi in the city and along the railway. As for General Peng Da and He Shuai's Northwest Field Army, don't look at the lack of people, but walking Hu Zongnan is like walking a dog, and tens of thousands of Hu Zongnan have been annihilated by knocking kraft candy.

At this time, Lin Shuai's Northeast Field Army in the northeast had basically completed the integration work, and the department had 13 columns, a special forces column, and a heavy artillery column under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than 500,000 troops, and began to enter the customs one after another. I am afraid that 1946 will be very difficult for the party.

Looking back at the situation in the Soviet Union, by the end of 1945, the Soviet Red Army had reduced its total strength by 2 million troops, reducing the total number of the Red Army from 12 million at its peak to less than 10 million. Of course, this scale is still too large, according to the army. The Committee demanded that the reduction of 4 million troops be continued in 1946 and that the number of troops be reduced to 5 million in 1947 and to 3 million in 1948. According to Li Xiaofeng's estimates, the size of the Red Army at about 2.4 million is relatively healthy. Among them, the army is 2 million, and the air force and navy together are around 300,000.

In accordance with the government. Governance and Army. According to the long-term plan of the Red Army, the Red Army will fully implement mechanization and modernization, especially the purchase of more helicopters, so that the Red Army will become faster and more capable of assault. The Air Force began to reduce propeller aircraft on a large scale, gradually shifting its focus to jet aircraft, while the Red Navy eliminated all battleships and battle cruisers, and the old artillery cruisers began the process of gradual retirement without building new ones. In addition, the Navy will focus on the development of aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines, and a new generation of jet carrier-based fighters will also be on the agenda.

Of course, for politics. Governance and Army. Venezuela is still the most important military priority. In Venezuela's long-term plan, intercontinental missiles and hydrogen bombs will be the focus of the next stage, and the ability to strike at the US mainland must be acquired as soon as possible. Of course, in this long-term plan, Li Xiaofeng has specifically listed a requirement: The number of nuclear warheads is not required to be too much for the time being; judging from the current state of development of nuclear weapons, the speed of replacement will be very fast, and the atomic bombs produced will become completely obsolete after only one or two years, and in order to save money, it is better not to have more than 50 atomic bombs in the next three years. As for the power of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, the stronger the better, and it is necessary to pay attention to economy and technology, and not to be greedy.

All in all, a certain immortal has put a lock on the development of nuclear weapons, and if the relevant parts are allowed to be opened, it will really not be able to hold up with the current economic strength of the Soviet Union. For example, in the Soviet Union's five-year plan for nuclear weapons obtained by the Americans, it was shown that the Soviet Union would produce at least 300 nuclear bombs and 500 medium-range ballistic missiles in the next five years.

Of course, the data alone will not be able to scare for long, so the Soviet Union's nuclear tests will be very frequent in the next few years, and the explosion of an atomic bomb every few months will make the Americans hear, presumably they will have a sense of urgency.

In order to deal with the Soviet Union's "amazing" nuclear program, the Americans also made a big effort to catch up, and the Senate very generously approved the plan to produce at least 600 atomic bombs in five years, and also asked the relevant departments to step up the development of ballistic missiles. And this requires a huge amount of financial expenditure. Of course, Americans have deep pockets and can afford to play. It's just that it doesn't make much sense to play like this.

While the Americans were spending lavishly on their nuclear program, the Soviet Union was saving money on a budget-conscious basis, and more money was spent on restoring production and developing the economy. Began to catch up with the United States in soft power. However, the burden of the Soviet Union was also quite heavy, and the main source of these burdens was the Central and Eastern European countries, and the economic situation of these countries from 1945 was very unoptimistic, even with American assistance, the problem was quite serious. In order to return Central and Eastern Europe to normal as soon as possible, the Soviet Union also had to tighten its belts to support them. It wasn't until 1947 that they gradually came out of the trough and returned to normalcy.

Of course, the Central and Eastern European countries in this time and space are much happier than in history, because of the Soviet Union, they did not receive American aid, their economic situation was even worse, and even caused a famine for a time. Now, the famine is largely gone, and apart from a little malnutrition for some people, the problem is not a big deal.

However, Central and Eastern Europe's receipt of US aid did cause some problems, and a large number of pro-British and American leading parties were operating in secret, and they were highly dissatisfied with the "rule" of the Soviet Union, which could be said to be a time bomb.

"The main problem we had in 1947 was still the economic problem," Sverdlov said in the annual political department. "The economic situation in Central and Eastern Europe is still not optimistic, and the temporary difficulties in the climate have led to a reduction in grain production last year, and the Central and Eastern European countries still need to import a large amount of grain to tide over the difficulties, but the bad thing is that their foreign exchange and credit lines have been exhausted, and it is very difficult to say whether the United States can continue to assist Central and Eastern European countries this year as before." Judging from the information we have so far, the United States is prepared to suspend economic aid to Central and Eastern European countries if they do not fully open their markets to the United States. In other words, the coming year will be a serious test for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe...... China's economic situation is rising steadily, and it has basically achieved food self-sufficiency, but the situation of light industry is not ideal, the shortage of daily necessities has reached 30%, and the export of heavy industry products is not optimistic, Central and Eastern Europe lacks purchasing power because of limited economic capacity, and the French market is limited in opening up to us because of trade protection, and it is facing competition from the United States and Britain for similar products......"

Sverdlov concludes the report to make the government. The Soviet Union's industrial products, especially heavy industrial products, were marketable except for oil and steel, and it was difficult for other automobiles, construction machinery, and machine tools to open up the Western European market. This situation is nothing for countries that generally do not have much pursuit, such as the oil princes of Arabia who live like this. But the USSR was not an Arab and could not live by selling resources, which was simply too low-level. In the final analysis, we still have to find ways to open up the market for industrial products, otherwise I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

"Yugoslavia has officially announced the severance of diplomatic relations with our country and the expulsion of our ambassador, which means that there is a possibility of a full-scale outbreak of the Kosovo conflict, and to deal with this challenge, I think that the CIS peacekeeping force should be extended and withdrawn from Kosovo as early as 1948, otherwise our previous efforts will be in vain," Sverdlov continued. ”

Yes, in the past two years, Tito has not stopped at all, and he has been fighting with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) for a long time, so that a Soviet army group has to be stationed in Kosovo and Albania for a long time. This drew considerable attention from the Soviet Union. This made Sverdlov a little difficult to ride a tiger, let's withdraw, Tito is eyeing over there, as long as the Soviet Red Army leaves, he will definitely counterattack Kosovo and Macedonia. Staying in Kosovo and Macedonia means a lot of money, and it can't always be consumed like this, right? The devil knows when it's a head.

In fact, Sverdlov already regretted this good method that he came up with at this time, and there was no benefit at all in engaging Yugoslavia, and he simply consumed his energy and strength in vain and caused a commotion. It is now a dilemma to completely repair Tito and withdraw the troops.

Li Xiaofeng spoke: "The Yugoslav issue cannot continue to drag on like this, and it is necessary to solve the problem quickly, or withdraw troops from Kosovo and Macedonia." Either recognize the independence of Kosovo and Macedonia. There is no third option! ”

To put it bluntly, either we should quickly get out of the quagmire of Kosovo, or we should simply not make any illusions about Tito, get rid of the passive situation in front of us that we cannot fight and cannot not fight, and simply try to see the poor dagger.

Sverdlov emphasized: "It means all-out war!" ”

Li Xiaofeng replied: "That's better than dragging it on forever!" ”

Politics. After a long time, Li Xiaofeng broke the silence again and said crisply: "I propose to recognize the independence of Kosovo and Macedonia, and the situation in the previous two years has proved that Tito will not give in, so it is extremely foolish to continue to hope for them." We have to solve the problem as soon as possible! ”

Sverdlov hesitantly asked: "Will the invasion of Yugoslavia fall into a bigger quagmire?" ”

Li Xiaofeng corrected: "We are not trying to invade Yugoslavia, but to force Yugoslavia to recognize the independence of Kosovo, Macedonia and Slovenia. We are not going to enter the territory of Yugoslavia, but to make full use of air superiority, weaken the military and economic power of Yugoslavia, hurt Tito and force him to let go! ”

Yes, for the previous two years, the military operations of the Red Army were strictly limited to Kosovo and Macedonia, and it was not possible to enter Yugoslavia to fight. As a result, Tito gained an asymmetrical advantage, and he deliberately and unscrupulously sent guerrillas to Kosovo to cause trouble, while his own territory would not be lost. In this way, how could Tito possibly let go?

Sverdlov is still a little hesitant, because he has also been exhausted by tossing in the past two years, one Yugoslavia and one Turkey are as difficult to swallow as two porcupines, if it were not for Li Xiaofeng to get a large amount of money from the Nazis, otherwise the economic construction of the Soviet Union would have been affected. Finally last year, Vasilevsky fought two large-scale wars of annihilation, and wiped out nearly half a million Turkish troops in one fell swoop, which let the Turks know that they were powerful and beat them to the negotiating table, which can be regarded as a breather. If you want to take into account the three directions of Turkey, Yugoslavia and China at the same time, you will really be tired to death.

If Yugoslavia is going to fight again, will it fall into a quagmire that is even more troublesome than that of Turkey before? So Sverdlov had to be cautious.

"This issue is postponed, comrades will think about it more, and wait for the next political decision. The plenary meeting of the governing bureau will make a decision again! ”

It has to be said that this decision of Sverdlov made most politicians. The members of the governing bureau were not satisfied, because the Yugoslav affair really could not be delayed any longer. Why? The smoke of the beacon fire on the Indochina Peninsula has already been ignited, and the little brother of the revolution, the Viet Cong, has embarrassed the French not ordinarily, and seeing that the French are about to run away and the Americans are ready to take over, once the Americans intervene in the affairs of the Indochina Peninsula, it will cause a series of chain reactions. It cannot be ruled out that the Americans are preparing to interfere in Chinese affairs with the help of the Indochina Peninsula as a springboard.

You must know that at this time, the overall situation in China has basically been decided, and a total of about 1.5 million people have been annihilated in another year and a half, and the elite of the Scraping Army, including the five main forces, has been wiped out. At this time, the Scraping People's Party could only rely on the so-called Yangtze River moat to resist stubbornly. Of course, now everyone can see that the Yangtze River moat is just a joke, and where is the 1,000 or 2,000-kilometer-long defense line that the now semi-disabled Kuomintang army can defend, it can be said that as long as the T Communist Party is willing, it can cross the river and fight at any time. Today's Scraping People's Party can only buy time by Jiang someone going into the opposition and then shouting for peace talks.

At this time, the US military was involved in the affairs of the Indochina Peninsula, and who dared to say that there was no intention of going to China with the help of a springboard. Even if it doesn't, if Indochina is in the hands of the United States, it is equivalent to a cannon mounted on the side of the T Communist Party's brain, and this threat is too close.

If the Soviet Union can solve the Yugoslav debacle as soon as possible, it will be able to draw up forces to create pressure on the Americans in other directions, forcing them not to deal with the Viet Cong and the T Communists wholeheartedly.

And now, Sverdlov is still dragging on, how can you not disappoint?

In fact, these two years have not only been Sverdlov's concession on some external issues. Xiao Si is also hesitant to procrastinate, only willing to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and is indifferent to some unreasonable and unscientific parts of the existing system, and sometimes tries his best to defend those so-called "old revolutions", anyway, Dzerzhinsky is quite annoyed and is already on the verge of madness.

Not only is this problem, but the economy of the Soviet Union has not lost the vigor of the first five-year plans of the thirties, and the GDP growth rate has rapidly fallen from more than 10% to less than 5%. As for the economic reform, Xiao Si is very secretive, and he does not let go at all, which makes Bukharin and other real economic experts also dissatisfied with him...... (To be continued.) )
