Listening to Tukhachevsky's words, both Stalin and Trotsky's faces became extremely ugly. (.com) This is not to blame for others, it is the USSR itself that is not well prepared.

The Soviet Union in this time and space did not develop as unprecedentedly as in history, and the civil war consumed too much of their time, energy and resources, as well as the most precious time.

After the two sides shook hands and made peace, although certain preparations were made, the domestic demand for resources in all aspects was too great. In order to resume production as soon as possible, most of the steel and other materials are used to make agricultural machinery such as tractors.

The tanks owned by the Soviet army today are basically produced by Stalin and Trotsky from between their teeth. But this is just a drop in the bucket for a huge army.

Less than 800 tanks, more than 1,000 fighters were simply not enough to defend the USSR.

"If we are fully productive now, how much can we produce per month?!" Stalin asked Tukhachevsky, but he was answered by Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Minister of Finance Alexei. Nikolaevich. Kosygin.

"Comrade Stalin, I have to inform you that even if we were to produce at full strength for a month, we would only be able to build about four hundred fighters and thirty tanks at most......," Kosygin said with a wry smile: "Although we now have machine tools, there is a serious shortage of skilled skilled workers. That's our biggest challenge......"

Machine tools can be bought, and processes can be learned. But those excellent skilled workers can not be accumulated overnight, especially in this era, the importance of skilled workers is clear.

Historically, the Soviet Union took advantage of the Great Depression to poach many outstanding skilled workers from all over the world to join the Soviet Union, which formed a strong industrial production capacity in the early days of the Soviet Union.

Historically, during the Great Depression, the Soviet Union bought a large number of industrial equipment produced in various countries, and at the same time brought in a large number of skilled workers and engineers.

We only need to look at a set of data to understand how the Great Depression brought the Soviet Union to its uprise.

In 1931, 50% of the machinery and equipment exported by the United States was sold to the Soviet Union. In the same period, in 1929~1930, 70% of the total export of British machinery was sold to the Soviet Union, and by 1932 this proportion was as high as 90%.

In 1931, 30% of the world's total machine exports went to the USSR. A year later, in 1932, that figure rose to 50%!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the thirties of the 20th century, almost all the backbone large enterprises of the Soviet Union were armed with advanced Western technologies.

In addition, the Soviet Union also obtained three major steel plants built with the aid of the United States, the introduction of American technology and equipment, the largest Dnieper hydropower station built in 1933 by employing American technical experts, and the famous Gorky Automobile Plant built with the assistance of the American Ford Company...... Wait a minute.

And in terms of talent introduction, the Soviet Union did not relax either. Due to the emergence of a large number of unemployed technicians in the West during the economic crisis, they accepted the employment of the Soviet Union one after another.

In 1929, there were 1,919 foreign specialists working in the Soviet Union. The number of technicians reached 10,655, which was more than 5 times and 20 times that of the previous year, that is, in 1928!

Two years later, in 1932, there were 6,800 foreign specialists and tens of thousands of technicians working in the heavy industry. In the United States, the world's largest immigration country at that time, 100,000 skilled workers and engineers applied to move to the Soviet Union.

It can be seen from this that the Soviet Union absorbed how much money, equipment, and technological strength it had absorbed at that time. It was the accumulation of these things that allowed the Soviet Union to stand out in World War II. Eventually, it transformed into two poles of the world that could rival the United States during the Cold War.

"In the Soviet Union, two-thirds of large enterprises were built with the help or technical assistance of the United States, and most of the rest were also established with technical assistance from Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and other countries."

Historically, Stalin's sentiment is not unreasonable. It's a pity that the Soviet Union didn't have good luck in this space-time. The tiger who rose from the three eastern provinces took the Soviet Union's place in the Great Depression.

And historically, the Soviet Union, although it earned the greatest dividends in the Great Depression, was not without mistakes. Even these mistakes were magnified and eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Like what. Due to the lack of personnel training, many newly built large enterprises have limited their production capacity due to a lack of management and technical personnel. When the first phase of the famous Stalingrad Tractor Plant was commissioned in March 1932, it was only possible to produce three tractors per day.

In addition, although the Soviet Union relied on the import of foreign equipment to develop heavy industry in a short period of time, it still lagged far behind European and American countries in some high-end technologies, and many products had to rely on imports.

None of this is a thing. The most fatal thing for the Soviet Union was that because they attached too much importance to the construction of heavy industry and neglected the development of light industry and agriculture, the Soviet economy had a situation of great disparity between urban and rural areas and the uncoordinated development of industry and agriculture.

Later, because of the emphasis on heavy industry, the Soviet Union directly ignored these problems. This led to what was later the huge Soviet Union. Fell on top of these questions......

Of course, Tu Mengben, who had carefully read this information and studied these things, would not have made such a mistake. The three eastern provinces were the first to continue to deepen their heavy industry, and at the same time, they did not simply and rudely give up the development of light industry and agriculture.

For example, Fan Xudong, the current minister of industry of the coalition government, is mainly responsible for the development of light industry in his country. Hanhai Research Institute has now been renamed as China Research Institute of Chemical Industry. We are committed to the manufacture of chemicals, synthetic fibers, and daily chemicals...... and so on, of course, we will also do military research.

The College of Agriculture of Northeastern University is the first college in which Tu Mengben invested great manpower, material resources and mental resources, and the funding of the University has never been reduced. On the contrary, it has continued to increase as the coalition government and the Defence Force have grown.

Tu Mengben did not pay attention only to talents in heavy industry, as the Soviet Union did in history. This tiger is basically a talent, whether you are in agriculture, light industry or even animal husbandry, and the animal husbandry can help the herders improve their cattle and sheep herds in the Mongolian steppe. Those who are agriculturally can teach at the College of Agriculture and improve their grain varieties at the same time.

This attitude of Tu Mengben and the three eastern provinces of not refusing to accept visitors attracted a large number of experts, researchers, and technicians from Europe and the United States. At present, there are a large number of scientific researchers with more than 10,000 people in China. Among them, there are more than 7,000 foreign experts.

They are located in the Research Institute of Chemical Engineering, the National Defense Forces Internal Research Institute, the Imperial Capital University, and the Coalition Government Comprehensive University, which was expanded from the former Tokyo University...... On the one hand, they are responsible for doing scientific research, and on the other hand, they are also responsible for teaching and leading graduate students to conduct research.

Tu Mengben knows better than anyone how difficult it is to cultivate his own talents. But no matter how tough it is. He had to do it too. So he contacted Zion and insisted that Einstein have to give lectures in China.

The coalition government, on the other hand, would have given Einstein everything he needed for his experiments. Tu Mengben did this in the hope of cultivating more talents for his country, and they will be the mainstay of the country in the future.

"Let's do our best to produce...... How much can be made......" Stalin sighed. In the final analysis, it was his and Trotsky's responsibility. If you go into more detail, this is all caused by Stalin.

"Contact the United States, and the coalition government. Let's see if they can give us some help, especially the United States. "Trotsky now wants to open it too. In this case, it is necessary to first preserve the Soviets.

The Germans' record in Europe frightened him, and if Germany, which now had no elbows, was to rush towards the Soviet Union, then the consequences would be something that any fool could imagine.

The Soviet Union, which is now incomparably weak, simply could not withstand such drastic attrition. Trotsky's words, however, impressed Stalin with him.

Stalin had expected Trotsky to vehemently oppose the American request for help, so he did not open his mouth when he had intended to make a gesture of overture to the American side.

But what Stalin did not expect was that Trotsky would so simply ask for help from the United States. Even the coalition government is on the table. I have to say that this is really a bit of a politician who can afford to let go.

"Comrade Stalin, we can't do anything now! If Germany were to launch an offensive against us, then what awaited us would be a harder battle than it had been during the period of the Soviets......"

"I support you, Comrade Trotsky." Stalin smiled and said: "Actually, I want to ask you that I should go to the United States to seek American support. ”

After a pause, Stalin said: "The situation in the United States is not good now, although the Wehrmacht of the coalition government is very combative, they do not have a navy. There was no way to pose a threat to Japan's Combined Fleet. The result of this was that the east coast of the United States was directly confronted with the threat of the Japanese Combined Fleet......"

"If it had been in the past, the United States would still have been able to carry out local defenses. At least their fleet is not a problem. But now that Britain has lost its homeland, the result is that the United States will face a naval attack from the Atlantic side of Germany......"

Stalin quickly analyzed the possible advantages of the Soviets now in gaining American support, and if the Soviet Union was able to attract most of the German forces in Europe, then at least the United States would not be in danger of a German landing operation against the United States.

If Germany can be successfully dragged down, at least the chances of Germany advancing directly from the Atlantic to the United States will be greatly reduced. If the Soviet Union could launch an attack on Germany from Poland, Germany would have no time to look elsewhere.

"Okay! Comrade Stalin, then it is up to you to draw up the list and decide when to visit the United States. Trotsky nodded. Stalin's proposal was agreed.

"As for the Wehrmacht, I don't think it's going to be useful for us to send people." Stalin smiled bitterly and said: "According to the war report, the Wehrmacht is now attacking the Southeast Asian region occupied by the Japanese army. They don't know if their own weapons and equipment are enough, so naturally they won't have extra support for us. ”

And the tiger has always had a close relationship with Germany, and even his wife is a princess of the German royal family. So I don't expect to get any equipment from him......"

Stalin's explanation, everyone also accepted. Trotsky finally sighed: "Let someone go!" At the very least, try to see if you can get some weapons and equipment. China is relatively close to us. Weapons are also coming in faster. Otherwise, if you wait for the United States, I don't know when you will wait until ......."

"No one can say exactly when our war with Germany will start......"

"At the latest, Germany will choose to attack the Soviet Union." News of the fall of London. Tu Mengben has already gotten it. Germany's actions are likely to be relevant to the coalition government's next strategy.

To this end, a meeting was held between the top echelons of the coalition government and the Defence Forces in the conference room of the coalition government in the imperial capital.

"Now for us, the important thing is how long the USSR was able to hold out ?! If Germany captures the Soviet Union, will it threaten us? Lin Sen frowned and said, "I have to say." The Germans fought beautifully in Europe! Especially after the victory in the naval battle, landing operations were carried out one after another. They destroyed the British defenses in one fell swoop and forced the British cabinet to choose to withdraw. ”

The fighting in the southwest is ongoing, and the three military regions that participated in the campaign need to be repaired because they have just completed the Zhejiang campaign. At the same time, these troops also had to escort a large number of prisoners of war to work on the construction site, so the campaign against Southeast Asia can now only be a one-man show of the Southwest Military Region.

"It is possible to defeat the Soviet Union." Tu Mengben smiled bitterly, the current Soviet Union is far less powerful than it was in history. As a result of the Wehrmacht and his out-of-the-box appearance, he seized those human, financial and other resources that originally belonged to the Soviet Union. Moreover, it caused a large area of internal friction in the Soviet Union, which led to the fact that the current Soviet Union was extremely poor.

In the current state of the Soviet Union, against Germany, there are four words: more evil and less lucky. With the current production capacity of the Soviet Union, Germany only needs two or three battles to completely crush the Soviet Union's counterattack capability.

"The Soviet Union doesn't have to worry." Yan Zhengqing smiled and said, "Someone is more worried than us. I am sure that they will give the USSR support. ”

Yan Zhengqing said, walked up to the huge world map and clicked on Canada. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, yes! Britain had now withdrawn to Canada, and the Soviet Union was their natural barrier.

For the United States, even more so. If the USSR had fallen to Germany, then Canada and the United States would not have been protected either. For this reason, the United States will definitely vigorously support the Soviet Union. At the very least, it was necessary to guarantee that the USSR would not be directly occupied by Germany in the war.

None of the people in the room asked why Germany had attacked the Soviet Union. Because it's obvious. It was impossible for Germany to attack the United States or Canada from the sea, first of all their fleet did not reach such a formidable level.

Second, an offensive across the sea, especially a landing operation across the ocean, is almost a dream. Moreover, the opponent is not a small country, but also a large country with neither weak production capacity nor combat effectiveness.

But if Britain and the United States are not addressed, then Germany will face the consequences of a counteroffensive by these two countries at any time. This is not what Germany wants to see.

However, almost all of the most important resources for Germany are now on the territory of the Soviet Union. Lost elbow, strong, opponents are not strong and have a lot of resources. Moreover, its territory is adjacent to its own powerful enemies.

As long as it's not a fool. I guessed what Germany would do next.

"But if Germany does take the Soviet Union, there's no guarantee that they won't attack us. So we'd better be on guard. Tu Sanpao, who had just returned to the imperial capital from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, looked at everyone: "Troops, don't move yet." Let the three eastern provinces and regions and Mongolia do militia training first, and the emperor must keep a part of the mobile troops. I think it's better for the Central China Military Region to stay, and if Germany really defeats the Soviet Union, we still have the strength to fight back. ”

Everyone nodded, but it was.

"Lao Fan's side coordinated the relocation of factories in the three eastern provinces. The old workers should be separated to support the factories in the Guannai. In this way, once there is a problem in the three eastern provinces, our troops will not be out of cooking. ”

"The research institute will also be moved to the imperial capital, and the three eastern provinces were our main industrial bases. But now there may be danger, and it is appropriate to move to the imperial capital. Besides. Now that these of us are in the imperial capital, we can inform us if we have anything......

Pao Ye said seven or eight opinions in one breath, and Fan Xudong and the others couldn't stop nodding and recording these opinions in a notebook at the same time. Take precautions, Lao Fan doesn't want to watch his hard work fall into the hands of others.

Especially those chemical plants, that is simply his lifeline.

"There is our old factory site in Jinmen, and I think it is okay to expand it and resettle it back. And it's close to the sea, and there are many railway routes, so it's easy to transport at that time......"

recorded the opinion of the gun master, and Fan Xudong also expressed his opinion.

"I think it's better to move some of the factories, especially the ammunition factory, to Guangxi. Next, we are fighting the Southeast Asian campaign, and it is convenient to supply ammunition closer to the front line......"

"There are also explosives, which are prone to accidents if the lines are too long. My suggestion is also to move part inward, preferably not far from the ammunition factory, to form an explosives production plant with independent production capacity......"

Fan Xudong said a lot, and the members of the Central Executive Committee of the coalition government, including Yang Yuting, also recorded them one by one. The relocation is not a small project, it involves the coordination of transportation, several parts of the local government and the coalition government, and local agencies.

This meeting only set the general direction, and the specific implementation of the following will have to go through a series of internal discussions and coordination.

"When will the East China and South China Military Regions return to the battlefield?!" After these things came to an end, Tu Mengben turned to his father and said.

"At least three months." Pao Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are too many prisoners, if you don't deal with them, Ah Hua, you can't go into battle." The monkeys in Southeast Asia are easy to handle, and some of them are not convinced. We have to clean up before we can get the troops out. Otherwise, you may end up in a mess. (To be continued)
