Chapter 821 Receipt of Compensation

In September of the 28th year of the Republic of China, in the Sutai region of Uriya in the ancient western part of the Republic of China, a colorful show was staged, and in the negotiations with Molotov, the head of the Soviet negotiating delegation, Tang Qiu left the bid code, which was ridiculously high, and he happily opened his pockets, just waiting for Ke Jin to load silver.

Molotov was so angry that he didn't even have the heart to curse, this hateful Chinese scoundrel and blackmailer, the lion opened his mouth wide, and asked for so many things at once, this is to treat the Soviet government as a big wronged head, a big sheep, but he can slaughter it vigorously, planes, tanks, artillery and cars all over again, and he also wants so much high-quality steel, and he can't think of it.

In the 38-year-old Soviet Union, a huge country, the annual steel output was less than 1.5 million tons, and Tang Qiuli was about to leave one-tenth of it at once, and Molotov thought of telegraphing these conditions to Comrade Stalin in Moscow, and his heart was sudden; when he came, he and Stalin had already discussed it, and Tang Qiuli would definitely not let Zhukov and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers go lightly, and he had to be fully psychologically prepared.

To meet the demands of this hateful Chinese as much as possible, Zhukov's First Far Eastern Army was sent to the Transcaucasian Military District to rearm and join the Far Eastern theater, a condition that even Chang Feng, chief of staff of an independent division, found unbearable, and truthfully spread to Moscow.

Stalin looked at the list of conditions, half speechless, these things can be taken out by the Soviet Union, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones, what he is most worried about is Tang Qiuli's forward-looking vision, with these equipment, the squadron will soon be able to form combat effectiveness, and high-quality steel is an indispensable raw material for the manufacture of weapons, he is worried about the emergence of a strong opponent in the south of the Soviet Union.

In particular, Tang Qiuli proposed to ask for ten BM13 rocket launchers with rockets, and Stalin's pipe, which he did not leave at the moment of his surprise, almost fell to the ground, and the development of the BM13 rocket launcher (that is, the well-known Katyusha rocket launcher) only began in 1933, and until last year, it was still in small-scale tests, and in the Soviet Union's military production, it was listed as a top-secret plan, and even a small number of people knew the truth even among the members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU. The front-line troops of the USSR were not yet equipped.

The crux of the matter is, how did Tang Qiuli know about this top-secret plan? How did you know that the Soviet Union was developing such a powerful secret weapon? A series of question marks kept rising in Stalin's mind, and it could be said that some of the members of the Political Bureau had leaked the secret of Tang Qiu's departure.

Stalin did not believe that the Chinese in the Soviet Union were under close surveillance, and that none of these members of the Political Bureau had ever left his sight, and that Tang Qiuli's spies could not sneak into Moscow to steal secrets, or to buy off these members of the Political Bureau.

So how did he know about this top-secret plan? It was precisely because he could not judge the reason why Tang Qiuli learned of the plan that Stalin felt even more terrified, and as a precaution, he secretly gave the Soviet State Security Committee (the predecessor of the KGB) a secret investigation of all Soviet and foreigners except himself.

How did he know that Tang Qiuli, a freak from later generations, had long admired the Soviet rocket artillery, and even to the point of salivating Cheng Dù, there was an opportunity for the ancient incident and the Soviet-Japanese war in the Far East, and he did not take the opportunity to bring it up, even if the Soviets did not agree to other conditions, this rocket artillery would have to be decided.

The key is the power of this guy, which makes Tang Qiuli itch when he thinks about it, the world's first mén modern rocket artillery is the BM13 rocket launcher successfully developed by the Soviet Union in 1933, this self-propelled rocket launcher is installed on the chassis of a truck, equipped with a rail-type directional device, can be combined with 16 132 mm tail rockets, the maximum range is about 8.5 kilometers, and it was not until 1939 that the Soviet army was officially equipped with front-line troops.

Rocket artillery is a powerful, powerful, and mobile high-energy weapon system, covering a large area, can hit multiple aiming points, and is most suitable for attacking targets with a large area and less accurate positioning, but it cannot be used to attack targets that are too close to your own troops, nor can it be used in areas that your own troops are about to occupy or pass through.

It can also hit the enemy's strategic depth, and it is the nemesis of large-scale armored clusters, a multi-rocket artillery company is a Qi shè, that is, hundreds of rockets, if multiple rocket artillery companies concentrate on the shè, the scene is spectacular, overwhelming rockets, with a long tail flame, smashing into the enemy's position with a strange roar, and the lethality is absolutely amazing.

Imagine that when it is used against the Japanese, hundreds of multiple rocket launchers will be poured on the Japanese targets like a volcanic eruption, like a thunderous tiger roar, and the heat will not only destroy a large number of Japanese living forces and military equipment, but also give the Japanese a huge shock.

And the group charge that the Japanese army liked, in the Qi shè of rocket artillery, turned into piles of roasted ròu and coke, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but feel hot, and he couldn't wait to get this kind of big killing weapon one day earlier, so that Wang Xu's special equipment research institute could imitate it and equip the troops in large quantities.

It is no wonder that Stalin was extremely nervous, the fist that the Soviet army relied on to dominate the Eurasian continent was the cháo water-like armor cluster, if Tang Qiuli's troops were equipped with rocket artillery, the Soviet tanks would lose their power, and no matter how thick the armor was, it could not withstand the thousands of degrees of heat when the rocket shells exploded.

Stalin could not help but give, it was no longer just a matter of Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the war in the Far East was in danger, if Tang Qiuli's requirements were not met, this despicable Chinese would be stabbed behind the reinforcements of the Transcaucasian Front in the Far East.

At that time, the Soviet Union lost not only the lives of Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but also the entire Second Army of Timoshenko in the Far East, as well as the Far East, and even all of Asia east of the Ural Mountains.

After weighing the pros and cons, Stalin gritted his teeth and ordered his secretary: "Send a telegram back to Comrade Molotov, agree to all Tang Qiuli's requests, and do everything possible to make Comrade Zhukov and the First Army of the Far East rush to the Transcaucasian Military District," Stalin's head was dizzy, his blood was surging, his eyes were dark, and he lay on his desk weakly.

Molotov received a call back from Moscow, groaning like a toothache, eager to bite Tang Qiuli to death this hateful Chinese, he knew the price paid by the Soviet Union, and also knew the reason why Comrade Stalin endured such humiliation, in fact, the Soviets were not ashamed, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Russian tsar Guò a series of unequal treaties, wars of aggression again and again, received a large territory and hundreds of millions of taels of compensation and silver from China.

Tang Qiuli let the Soviets spit out, it was just a fraction, not counting the interest, Molotov was like a dead father, mother, and son, with a murderous eye, watching Tang Qiuli take over the compensation list with a smile, he only had one request, this series of compensation terms and specific contents, do not be announced to the public, and the two sides will be carried out as a secret and sī inside.

Tang Qiuli agreed to Molotov's request very generously, this is easy to do, to give the Soviets, especially Stalin, a little dignity, take advantage of it, and shout all over the world, that is the nouveau riche mentality, the act of a fool, although he has broken out, the Soviets are embarrassed and angry, after all, it will not be good to fight in the future.

We Chinese pay attention to not doing things absolutely, save a little face for each other, and get along well in the future, of course, except for the Japanese, to the death, this is what Tang Qiuli said after Molotov lost his soul and left, facing those brigade commanders who were about to get their hands on the equipment that was about to arrive.

In fact, Tang Qiuli took advantage of more than that, after the Soviet army was destroyed in the Hadassan battlefield, a large amount of equipment left behind, many of which could be equipped immediately as long as they were repaired, even if they could not be repaired, the parts and components could also be put to great use, these things had long been transported back to Dingbian and Huangya Dòng bases by Zhang Quan, the logistics minister of the independent division and the commander of the joint service command of the Yellow River Theater, and even the shells and bullet shells were also collected by Zhang Quan.

The equipment and steel for the Soviets' compensation were paid at Kulen, and Zhang Quan had already waited in Kulen with a large number of recipients from the Logistics Department, as well as more than 1,000 trucks commanded by Bai Shibin, chief of staff of the transport unit of the Independent Division.

The weapons and equipment and high-quality steel compensated by the Soviets were continuously transported to Kulen, and Zhang Quan and the personnel of the logistics department were very busy, tired and hard, but one by one they were like doping, Zhang Quan was already a man in his fifties, and his strength and drive were more than that of young people.

The troops who surrounded Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops still did not withdraw from the siege, Tang Qiu left a hand, and the Soviets would not let Zhukov go if they did not put all the compensation materials and equipment in place, and the Soviets, especially Stalin, preferred to do treacherous things.

Treat people with sincerity, who is the score, don't be put on a stand by the Soviets, when the time comes, there will be no place to cry, and you can't fight with the Soviets anymore, and you won't have this opportunity, this is what Tang Qiuli said to the brigade commanders who asked why they didn't withdraw their troops immediately.

The back of these brigade commanders listened to the cool breeze in the back of their heads, and there was a chill in their hearts, look at the eyes of our division commander, it is not a cunning person who can say it all, in the future, don't hold the luck psychology of playing tricks in front of the division commander, if Tang Qiuli knows what he has done, and there is such an effect, he can wake up happily when he sleeps.
