The high-latitude winter not only brought severe cold, but also long dark nights, which historically led to the Soviet Union's large air force being of little use at all, but in this time and space it was completely reversed, although the days did not grow much longer than the night at the turn of spring and summer, but the close to extremely low high latitudes magnified this difference, and during the longer days, the Soviet fleet was able to make more frequent sorties. In the short Soviet-Finnish war, the Soviet aviation forces flew more than 16,000 sorties, dealt a great blow to the Finnish army, and effectively cooperated with the offensive of the ground forces

Although the "Great Purge" of time and space has not yet ended, the unprecedented blood change has led to a significant decline in the military quality and actual combat experience of Soviet officers and men, especially middle and senior officers.

But everything has to be seen in two parts, after a large number of purging old-fashioned veterans, young officers like Zhukov who have the courage to innovate have the opportunity to stand out, thus greatly accelerating the process of upgrading the tactics of the Soviet army, which has the greatest impact on the armored forces and other high-level jishu troops, coupled with the advance equipment of advanced jishu weapons such as T34, the Soviet aviation troops, armored forces and even artillery units and other jishu units with higher jishu content are more than the same period in history, Even much stronger at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

Although the infantry was negatively affected by the "Great Purge" and its combat effectiveness declined sharply, the "human" factor could not be compensated for by relying on the improvement of the "weapon" factor. After all, the impact of the "Great Purge" on the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army was mainly due to the drastic reduction in the command level of officers, but it did not become greedy for life and afraid of death.

Historically, the Finnish army was equipped with the most haode submachine gun on the Shijie - Suomi submachine gun, and the grade of small arms was obviously higher than that of the Soviet army, which had not yet been equipped with various new equipment at that time, and as a result, it had a great advantage in battle; And in this time and space, even the Suomi submachine gun, Finland's most haode light weapon, is not worth mentioning at all compared to the AKM assault rifle of the Soviet army, which is ahead of its time, not to mention that the Suomi submachine gun is extremely expensive and only a few elite units in the Finnish army are equipped. It is not comparable to the AKM assault rifle, which almost every Soviet infantry has.

The light infantry had a tenfold difference in firepower. Not to mention the heavy troops, and the Finnish army, because it believed too much in the role of the Mannerheim Line, threw most of its troops into it and fought the Soviets head-on, only to lose all of them under the unimaginable terrifying firepower superiority of the Soviets. It's no wonder that the Finns don't lose

But. Although the Soviet army won the war. But it was also internationally condemned for starting the war, which was not a good thing for the Soviet Union, which was already in a bad diplomatic environment at the time. Among the countries and organizations that openly opposed the aggression of the Soviet Union, there were even many red organizations. And the most influential of these is China's current ruling party, the Red Party.

Stalin was naturally extremely dissatisfied with the public disobedience of his younger brother in the past, but now China has the top three standing army and the first large militia reserve force, in addition, China has also established a basically complete basic industry, especially the military industrial system, and has begun to take shape in terms of production capacity, and unconsciously China has developed into the sixth largest industrial country in Shijie (Note 1). Agricultural output has more than doubled since 1937 (counting the agricultural output of Indochina), and the overall national strength is not what it used to be, coupled with China's terrifying population, even Stalin did not dare to fight China needlessly, and let other countries sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Coupled with the fact that the Soviet Union still needed Chinese rubber and tin, the volume of trade between the two countries continued to climb to new highs, although relations between the two parties were much colder

When it comes to China's population, in fact, the Chinese themselves at this time, even important figures such as Hu Weidong, did not know how many people China had at that time. It wasn't until 1943 that New China completed its first nationwide census that everyone knew how much China's population had become, and Hu Weidong, who knew the changes in Chinese population in history, was even more shocked by the statistics, the total urban and rural population actually exceeded 640 million, almost equivalent to the level of 1957 in history, which is too exaggerated, right?

However, after learning more information, Hu Weidong no longer made a fuss, after all, after the restoration of peace in the country, China's fertility rate naturally ushered in a compensatory explosive growth, and the peaceful environment, the increase in agricultural production and the rapid development of medicine and health caused the mortality rate to decline rapidly, coupled with the inauguration of the Indochina Peninsula directly after the addition of more than 60 million people, so the rapid arrival of the Chinese population to 640 million is surprising, but it is also completely understandable

It is worth mentioning that although the population has increased so rapidly, due to the continuous increase in the production of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and the efforts of agricultural jishu, the per capita grain output in China is still increasing, and the Indochina Peninsula, which is already rich in grain and has great potential for increasing production (Note 2), is expected to completely solve the problem of feeding the Chinese

Note 1: After the occupation of Indochina, the results of the many years of operation of Britain and France and the industrialization efforts of Siam were basically taken over by China, which further strengthened its industrial strength, thus surpassing Japan and Italy to become the sixth largest industrial country after the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain and France (slightly more than Japan, but the gap is very small). However, due to the large population base, such a scale of industry is still far from enough to change the poverty situation of the Chinese, which can be seen from the per capita national income that is still at the middle and lower levels of Shijie. Of course, compared to the top few shijie from the bottom before liberation, there is still a huge improvement.

Note 2: For example, although Thailand has long been the largest exporter of rice to Shijie, the average grain yield per mu is less than a quarter of that of China, and it is clear that the climate, terrain and soil quality are more suitable for farming than China. Moreover, there is still a large part of the cultivated land in the Indochina Peninsula is planted with special cash crops for the main purpose of export, which can be converted to grain production when necessary, and even some virgin forests can be cut down for farming, and China's agriculture has a tradition of intensive cultivation (of course, this is contradictory to agricultural mechanization, but there is the potential to increase production, so we are not afraid that people will get stuck in our necks, and we may not really need to develop it, and it can be reserved as a strategic reserve, which is much better than not being able to conjure up excess arable land at all now, and having to stick to the red line of 1.8 billion mu. Soil erosion is not too much of a problem, and if all of Indochina's agricultural potential is realized, China could even feed an additional billion people (to be ...... to be continued)
