Chapter 549: "Pig" General
Qin Wei's relationship with the Germans is complicated, or China's relationship with Germany is complicated. Of course, such complex relationships are also common internationally, but most of them are not as "serious" as those between China and Germany.
Qin Wei has always been in contact with the former German ambassador to China, Todmann, and with his "support", Todmann, an outdated ambassador, is now the German deputy foreign minister, and can also meet Hitler at any time. Although his status is not as good as that of Hitler's absolute cronies such as Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler, he also belongs to the category of people who are legitimately popular in German politics. What the outside world doesn't know is that Todman was not only popular, he even influenced Germany's plan to attack the Soviet Union, and dragged this plan for several months until the winter began to be officially implemented.
Winter attack on the USSR. If you just see such a sentence, I am afraid that the vast majority of people in the world will think that the Germans are collectively stupid. Who doesn't know that the Soviets are the most difficult to deal with in the winter? Who doesn't know that the bitter cold is the most terrible weapon in the hands of the Soviets? Napoleon had already proved to the world through his own defeat that the Soviet winter was terrible, and wasn't Hitler afraid of repeating it?
But if you carefully observe the military operations of the German army in the Soviet Union, you will find that the Germans are not only shrewd, but also ruthless.
In the winter attack on the Soviet Union, the Germans did not only target those important strategic points, they also succeeded in seizing a large number of warehouses prepared by the Soviet Union to fight them! The warehouses include granaries, cloth, cotton, and even many other daily necessities...... This meant that the supplies for the wintering of millions of German troops were available, and there was no need to transport them from Germany proper. All they need is some fuel and ammunition. They can wait leisurely in the occupied area until the spring of the next year, and wait for the time for military operations for the whole year to come.
This is much stronger than launching an offensive in the summer.
And winter was no good season for the Soviets either. If the two sides were on the same level, the Soviets would still have the upper hand. But now, the Germans have seized the city and seized a large amount of supply baggage. There is no need to rush around looting war materials, and there is no need to deploy troops everywhere. In this way, the guerrilla strategy of the Soviets did not work. The Germans could also heat themselves in the cities, and they could rely on the cities and watch the Soviets starve in the wilderness. And even if the Soviets' so-called winter combat ability, that is, the ability to freeze is slightly stronger, it does not mean that they can be outdoors for a long time, especially in the absence of supplies. You must know that whether it was against Napoleon in the first place, or against Hitler in the original history. The method they used was to clear the walls, to burn everything that could not be taken away, and to leave nothing for the enemy, including their housing. And this is the most important reason for the defeat of Napoleon and Hitler. In order to deal with Napoleon, the Russians even burned Moscow. But now. The Germans got their hands on the supplies first, and they couldn't get them. also directly sent the air force to destroy the ......
Although some battles are still going on. But the Soviets faced a far more terrible predicament than they had ever been in history.
But they don't know that all of this is the result of the operation of a certain person behind the scenes.
This mastermind behind the scenes not only pits them in Siberia, but also does not intend to spare them on the European battlefield. In order to help the Germans deal with them, this guy leaked a lot of secrets from the Soviet Union, and even told the Germans about the "Stalin Organ", a battlefield weapon they had developed. And helped the Germans develop the same weapon at a faster pace. Even the fact that the Germans were able to develop jet planes earlier than they had done was the reason for a certain guy. Of course, this guy has done more than that, originally. The pride of the German Navy, the battleship "Bismarck", should have sunk the British Royal Navy, the largest battle cruiser in the world, the "Hood", in less than ten minutes, and then it would be beaten by the flying Churchill and the British Navy with dozens of warships, and finally sank in the Atlantic. But after a certain guy's secret action, the "Bismarck" broke through the gap in the encirclement of the British Royal Navy at the most critical moment and returned to the German military port safely. Today, this formidable battleship is still wreaking havoc in the North Atlantic, annoying the Royal Navy.
The Germans owe too much favor to someone. Although they had to form an alliance with Japan, they were not very eager to pay off this personal debt. But in order to be able to get more benefits from China in the future, they also have to provide China with help within their ability. Especially after learning that the Chinese were unwilling to block Japan's southward pace for Britain and the United States, Hitler personally ordered that the remuneration for the Chinese should be shipped to China as soon as possible.

"Good things, good things......"
Looking at the rocket launchers in front of him, He Yingqin almost couldn't hold back Harazi, and the second person of the National Revolutionary Army had already lost his momentum. At this moment, there seemed to be only one circle after another in his eyes,
"If this is fired together, what kind of movement must be?"
Liu Zhi, the commander of the Chongqing garrison, stood next to him with a head that was two pounds fatter than Kong Xiangxi, and he was even more unbearable than He Yingyao, so he almost hugged the cannon barrel and kissed his mouth. Rocket artillery, known to the Soviets as the "Stalin's organ", became famous after the Soviet-German war. According to reports, when the Germans attacked the Soviet troops near Kiev, dozens of rocket launchers fired in unison, breaking through the defense line of two divisions in less than half an hour, and by the time the German troops rushed to that line, it was already in ruins, and there was not even a whole land. But that's nothing, the Soviets' "organ" was no less remarkable. It is said that in a certain battle, the Soviet army lost, and the German army took advantage of the situation to launch a general attack, and the Soviet army was in a hurry, so they concentrated the rocket artillery and fired all the shells out in an instant, and as a result, after this rapid artillery bombardment, the vanguard of the German army, a whole division, almost disappeared.
It can be said that rocket artillery is the "big star" on the Soviet-German battlefield, and all eyes are on it. And now all countries in the world are developing this kind of weapon, so that one day they can retaliate on the same scale when they encounter the overwhelming fire of the enemy. As for the counterattack...... In the face of rocket artillery bombardment, who can fight back? What's more, this thing is extremely expensive, and each cannon must be equipped with a car, and the cannon will be gone. Who will give the enemy a chance to fight back?
"One rocket launcher, twenty barrels, this is equivalent to a heavy artillery regiment, how many are there here?" He Yingqin suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Wei's arm and asked eagerly.
"Thirty-seven...... It should be true, the Germans are very serious. Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Thirty-seven artillery regiments, that's ......" Liu Zhi counted with his fingers, and then his face instantly turned red: "Twelve artillery divisions? ”
"How can there be so many? Each rocket artillery has only six base shells. With this rate of fire, it lasted two hours. It's all gone. Qin Wei sighed.
"Two hours? I've heard that twenty shells from a rocket launcher can all be fired in less than a minute. Two hours...... Even if there is a million army in front of you, you have to blast out a big hole, right? Who can withstand such heavy artillery fire? LIU ZHI COULDN'T HELP BUT SHUDDER AS HE IMAGINED THAT 37 ROCKET LAUNCHERS WERE FIRED AT THE SAME TIME, INSTANTLY KNOCKING OUT ALL THE MORE THAN 700 130MM CALIBER SHELLS. This is equivalent to more than 700 heavy artillery shelling together, if he can match such an artillery unit. Even with only half a division, it can sweep through all the enemies.
"These guns belong to our Ministry of Defense." He Yingqin exhaled lightly. patted Qin Wei's shoulder again: "Remember you a lot!" ”
"What is the use of a big fart? Lao Tzu can't be promoted again. Qin Wei rolled his eyes.
"If you want to. I introduce you to the Kuomintang. With your merits, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee can't run, how about it? He Yingqin asked.
"Forget it." Qin Wei shook his head, "The current Kuomintang is not much different from the original alliance, and I am not interested." ”
"What, you look down on us?" He Yingqin looked at him calmly. Asked.
"In terms of party affiliation alone, your party is too chaotic." Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Chaos? What's the mess? Liu Zhi asked.
"How can I say it......" Qin Wei thought for a moment, "Cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are all mixed into a nest." ”
"At the end of the day. You just don't want to join the Kuomintang. He Yingqin said.
"I think it's better to be a nonpartisan member." Qin Wei smiled, "Feel at ease!" ”
"It's comfortable to be non-partisan, but it's also helpless a lot of times." Liu Zhi suddenly interjected lightly, which was meaningful.
"Oh?" Qin Wei looked at this fat-headed and big-eared general of the Jiang family, who was called a "pig" by Du Yuming in the later Liberation War, and suddenly felt interested. This gentleman is one of the five generals in Jiangxi of the Republic of China, known as the "Fu General" during the Northern Expedition, the "Winning General" in the Central Plains War, but he became a "long-legged general" in the Anti-Japanese War, and he was a famous "Frequently Defeated Famous General" during the Liberation War. A person can break through four almost completely different names in four periods, and look at the Republic of China, that is, this General Liu. However, what made Qin Wei feel the most amused was that after the Liberation War, the Nationalist Government fled to Taiwan, and this General Liu did not want to go with Lao Jiang, but took his wife and children, planning to find a place where no one knew him to live in seclusion...... As a result, he first arrived in Singapore and encountered robbers; When I arrived in Indonesia, because I didn't want to disclose my identity, I was extorted a large amount of money by the customs of another Indonesian monkey when I passed through the customs. came and went, and the millions of family fortunes were almost empty. In the end, the dignified army general of the Republic of China actually became a teacher in an overseas Chinese primary school in Indonesia. What made Liu Zhi himself cry and laugh was that the teaching materials of overseas Chinese schools in Indonesia at that time were still purchased from Chinese mainland, and he, a general of the national army, actually wanted to teach his students to read "the Communist Party is good, socialism is good." And later, not long after becoming a primary school teacher, Liu Zhi found out that someone was making remarks in his name in the local newspaper. He immediately went to the letter newspaper office to "refute the rumors", but his true identity was exposed. And as soon as his side was exposed, Lao Jiang, who was in Taiwan, was also anxious...... This is a general of the national army, his former cronies, and he actually went to Indonesia, which has socialist tendencies, is this still possible? Indonesia has just established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland, and the relationship between the two countries is just right, in case Liu Zhi is given a "united front" by Chinese mainland, and if he says something, it will not be his face? Therefore, he quickly sent someone to call Liu Zhi back to Taiwan, and after scolding him, he gave him an idle job. And Liu Zhi ended his life and was very happy, so he continued to live in Taiwan until his death. It is worth mentioning that one of Liu Zhi's great-granddaughters was the first student in the graduation score of the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2006, and at the graduation ceremony, then President George W. Bush personally presented the graduation certificate. I don't know if this is a form of "following the ancestor heroic"?
But that's all in the future, the strangest thing about Qin Wei now is that he has never met this General Liu before, let alone had any friendship, but now this thing suddenly came together with He Yingqin, and said such a thing, what does it mean? (To be continued......)
