Li Xiaofeng was in a bad mood, according to his temper in the early years, he had to make Ulitsky look good every minute, but now he can't be so impulsive. Because the shape of the party is very delicate, tomorrow is 1933, and it will only be 20 months before the retirement of the mentor, and there is no clear statement on who will fill the vacancy after the retirement of the mentor.

Let's put it this way, even if you are at the level and status of Li Xiaofeng, you don't know who will end up with it. Lenin's successor is now three sets of cars, Trotsky, Sverdlov and Stalin have the greatest hope, and the other Kamenev and Zinoviev are just extras playing soy sauce, even if the last two soy sauce parties have been desperately brushing up their feelings for the past two years, using the influence of the Comintern to constantly create gimmicks, it is useless. Anyway, the bigwigs in the party don't buy their account.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng also knows that among the three sets of cars, Xiao Si is actually the least likely, because in 29 years, Lenin revealed the intention of letting Xiao Si wait, although later because Li Xiaofeng made a big set of articles on the world economic crisis, he helped Xiao Si save the situation and forced the mentor not to mention this again. However, Li Xiaofeng still feels that Xiao Si is very dangerous!

Equally dangerous is Stalin, who seems to trust steel in the past two years and has constantly entrusted it with important tasks, but Li Xiaofeng can feel a little unusual. It seems that the trust and appreciation of the mentor is not because the old man thinks that steel is a qualified successor, and he does not want to cultivate steel, but Li Xiaofeng feels that the mentor is changing direction to compensate for steel.

Li Xiaofeng felt that Lenin meant rather, rather inclined to let Trotsky come to power and act as the transitional leader before Xiao Si. As for steel. That has been knocked out by the mentor. It was used to balance the forces between the Trotskyists and Leninists during the transitional period. and the use of pieces to contain Trotsky.

In other words, Li Xiaofeng felt that the shape was actually very bad, that Trotsky's ascension to power seemed to be unstoppable, and that it was really not a good thing for Lao Totsky to come to power. Trotsky, like Lenin, was a man of great control, and in short, he either accepted his line or got out. And that line of his is actually problematic. Don't talk about others, Li Xiaofeng can't pee with him.

For example, as mentioned earlier, Li Xiaofeng advocated attracting foreign capital, while Trotsky was more like a fundamentalist Bolshevik and did not allow the socialist Soviet Union to have a little bit of capitalism. In this way, it is strange that the two sides do not clash.

Not only ideologically, but also on how to develop industry, the two sides were also full of contradictions, Trotsky advocated the concentrated development of heavy industry, and the others were put aside first. However, Li Xiaofeng advocated that heavy industry, light industry, and even agriculture should not be biased. It is necessary to develop in a balanced manner.

Let's put it this way, from 30 years. The two sides are at loggerheads, or this time Ulitsky would not have stumbled someone over the trivial matter of a few B2s. In any case, as soon as Li Xiaofeng thought that Trotsky was going to come to power, he had a sense of crisis, and the pressure was not ordinary. And 35 to 40 years is definitely the most critical five years, these five years are the sprint stage of the preparation for World War II, if you can make good use of these five years, the next World War II will be much calmer, otherwise, it is very likely that it will be a mess at the beginning.

Anyway, Li Xiaofeng just couldn't figure out what Lenin thought, so why did he have to let Trotsky take over the job, and wouldn't it be a good choice to let Steel and Xiaosi join forces?

With this resentment, Li Xiaofeng was a little half-hearted when he met with Rykov, so that the latter became more and more strange, and he didn't understand what troubled someone had encountered? And Rykov's sense of smell, which is quite sensitive, immediately attracted attention, and when he learned that Ulitsky and Li Xiaofeng were on the bar, he couldn't help frowning.

Leaving aside what Li Kev was thinking for the time being, after Li Xiaofeng left the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, he received bad news one after another, and this guy Ulitsky was simply a broom star for him!

The first bad news came from Germany, and according to the intelligence he received from his spies in Germany, Hitler had risen to power in Germany at a miraculous speed as in history, and had won the support of most of the radical forces in Germany.

It was really only a matter of time, and according to the course of history, the mustache would become Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 33. Li Xiaofeng was also helpless about this, because he had already stumped the mustache as much as possible, but the anger gathered by Germany because of the First World War was too strong, and once it exploded, it would be a volcanic eruption, and no one could stop it.

In other words, Li Xiaofeng did not buy himself and the Soviet Union more time, and the war had entered the countdown.

However, Hitler's coming to power was not the worst news, after all, the mustache had only just come to power, and there were still several years of preparation time. As long as they are prepared, there is nothing to fear from the mustachioed Nazi regiments.

But what made Li Xiaofeng speechless was that the second bad news related to preparations for war. As a firewall between the Soviet Union and imperialism, the East Prussian People's Republic had a very important strategic position, and the Jews would be the bridgehead of the Soviet Union against the Nazi forces in the future.

Li Xiaofeng had always hoped that the bridgehead would become as strong as possible, preferably so that the Germans' lightning tactics would be ruined. But from now on, Li Xiaofeng is probably going to be disappointed. The Jews were so satisfied with the status quo that they lost their sense of crisis.

From 1920 onwards, East Prussia continued to disarm, and after several cuts, only 100,000 troops remained. There may be comrades who think that this number is a lot, and don't the Germans also have only 100,000 troops? It would be nice that East Prussia, much smaller than Germany and much less economically capable, had so many troops!

Not to be bad, Germany's 100,000 refers to the army, and East Prussia is the sum of the three armies, especially to see that East Prussia has a powerful navy composed of four Kaiser-class battleships, four light cruisers and 16 destroyers, and the navy alone occupies almost 30,000 people! Excluding the air force and logistical support personnel, the army in East Prussia can actually use very few troops for combat!

Let's put it this way, the entire East Prussian Army had three infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade and two artillery brigades. That's all there is to it!

Of course. It is not impossible to maintain such an army in peacetime. Crucially, the Jews were very contemptuous of army building, most of the weapons and equipment were used as trophies from the end of World War I, soldiers were also subject to a two-year compulsory military system, and it was difficult for officers to be promoted.

Most of the veterans with war experience are either discharged from the army or sleeping in a daze in the previous merit book, and the entire army is lifeless. Let's put it this way, most Jews are more inclined to make money. Taking advantage of the special relationship with the Soviet Union and the special international situation of the time, the Jews made a lot of money in the entrepot trade, and these money worshippers thought that the First World War was really a war to end the war, and that it would be enough to make money in the future.

This situation naturally made Li Xiaofeng speechless, what he wanted was not an East Prussia that was rich but had no ability to resist, and when World War II broke out, the silver would not be scraped clean by the Nazis!

Therefore, Li Xiaofeng has been reminding the Jews not to relax their armament construction, but what is more speechless is that his well-wishers still don't appreciate it, and they always squeeze toothpaste for national defense investment.

In 1920, for example, the two sides reached a comprehensive agreement on the navy. The USSR was going to use Jewish funds to completely rebuild the old battleships, and at first it was fine. The Jews were happy to give generously, but as the cost of the renovation rose and the renovation period dragged on, the stingy Jews tried again and again to terminate the project.

If it weren't for Li Xiaofeng's madness, the renovation project would have been stopped a long time ago. According to the engineering plan, the last phase of the renovation of the old battleship will start in 33, during which all German-made World War I-level 305 mm guns and turrets will be replaced with new 305 mm guns of 55 times the caliber of the Soviet B36 and new MK15 turrets.

After this transformation, the firepower of the old battleships and battle cruisers has also been improved, and the entire renovation program will be completed. However, Li Xiaofeng learned just now that the Jews had officially abandoned this renovation and announced that they would not provide the cost of replacing the main gun and turret, citing the economic crisis and financial constraints!

For this excuse, Li Xiaofeng is really quite speechless, the economic crisis has something to do with your East Prussia, relying on the vast market of the Soviet Union, you have been making money. Although the overall income is declining because of the recession in the United States, if it declines again, you are still making money every day, do you have the face to say that the financial situation is tight?

Li Xiaofeng knew very well that this was the excuse of the Jews, since 1925, they have been dissatisfied with the continuous large-scale investment in national defense, and have always wanted to cut spending in this area, but Li Xiaofeng has been pressing, and they have to "grit their teeth and insist", and now, they are finally "unbearable".

"What else did Pavel say?" Li Xiaofeng asked Yakov with a gloomy face.

"He said that he was also very difficult when he made this decision, but it was the common will of all the East Prussian people, and he hoped that the traditional friendship between the two sides would not be damaged by this little unpleasantness, and he was willing to continue to cooperate with us in depth......"

Li Xiaofeng's face changed uncertainly, he would not take Pavel's nonsense seriously, East Prussians were indeed dissatisfied with the high military spending, but this dissatisfaction was completely not up to the level that Pavel said, to put it bluntly, the Jewish profiteers still wanted to save money.

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng sneered: "I want to make money, but I don't want to buy money? How can there be such a good thing! ”

Yakov looked at him and asked, "You mean to end cooperation with the Jews?" ”

"That's not true, but it's also necessary to give them a little color," Li Xiaofeng said with a humble eye, "They probably thought that this was before 1929, and they thought that without the springboard of East Prussia, the Soviet Union's foreign trade would be suspended." It's time to get rid of these second-hand traffickers! ”

Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "Suspend the entrepot trade from the Jews and transfer the share to Vyborg, I want to see if I can't play without the Jews!" ”

Yakov also smiled, in fact, since the mid-twenties, because the Soviet Union's foreign trade export channels were stuck, and most of the import and export trade could only be re-exported through East Prussia and Finland, the Jews felt that they should be very good, and that the Soviets should accept their affection. So the Jews were arrogant for a while, for example, in 1927, when they got in touch with the British again. Once again, the program for the return of the Jews to Palestinian settlements in the Befort Declaration began.

You're welcome to put it mildly. At that time, the Jews felt that they could throw off the Soviet crutches. If it weren't for the outbreak of the world economic crisis that followed, which caused the Jewish consortium in the United States to bleed, the Jews would probably have become even more arrogant.

At that time, Yakov was a little unaccustomed to the Jews' approach, which was obviously a matter of reciprocity, as if the Soviet Union had taken advantage of it. He has always advised the Jews to give a little color to see, lest they forget their identity.

"Then how to solve the expenses for the replacement of turrets and guns for the capital ship?"

Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and replied: "Let's go out ourselves, let Ubolevich help replan and lengthen the replacement cycle." I don't think the big ships and artillery factions will make too much trouble on this issue. ”

There is no way, although Li Xiaofeng has money on hand, he can't directly give it to the navy, and his investment in R&D and production is also quite large, and the Jews do make him very passive.

It can be imagined how bad Li Xiaofeng, who was disgusted by the joint efforts of Ulitsky and the Jews, was in a bad mood, and he didn't have much to do with the former, but it was still easy and happy to clean up the Jews. Since the Jew thinks that his wings are stiff and that he is awesome, he does not mind teaching the other side a profound lesson.

"When will Ambrera and Nokia's plants in Finland be ready for production?"

Yakov thought for a moment and said, "Ambrera's pharmaceutical plant has already started trial operation. In the second half of the year it is possible to run at full speed, as for Nokia it is slightly more troublesome. However, it will be able to run at full speed by the middle of next year. ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded and instructed: "Very good, then first move the headquarters of the two companies to Finland, only keep the sales center in East Prussia, and after the Finnish factory is running at full speed, reduce the production share and workers of the two companies in East Prussia, and try to establish a third production line in Finland!" ”

Yakov was stunned, for in his opinion it was not just a preparation to beat the Jews, which was too much, and who did not know that the profits generated by Ambrera and Nokia were the most important link in the economy of East Prussia. To put it mildly, 30 per cent of East Prussia's income comes from entrepot trade, and the other 30 per cent is contributed by these two enterprises. Cutting off more than half of people's income in one breath is going to kill people!

"Isn't that a little too intense?" Yakov asked cautiously.

Li Xiaofeng shook his head, in fact, even if the Jews did not die by themselves, he would have to shift the production focus of Ambrera and Nokia back to Finland, after all, the Vyborg region was completely in his hands, and Mannerheim was more interested than the Jews, and the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant. The most important thing is that Poland and East Prussia were the hardest hit areas at the outbreak of World War II, and he didn't want his business to be destroyed.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng was not prepared to shift the focus of production so early, and the original plan was that he was going to start this around 1937 or 38, but now that the Jews are not honest, he does not mind doing it a little earlier.

After dealing with a bunch of troubles, Li Xiaofeng remembered the problem of the B2 engine again, as mentioned earlier, he wanted the B2 to prepare for the finalization test of a type of tank of NORINCO. And the original customers of this tank were large Jewish dogs.

And now that this is happening, it is unlikely that the Jews will subscribe, in this case, Li Xiaofeng feels that he should not be so anxious, and wait for his own engine factory to be put into production!

And since you have to wait anyway, Li Xiaofeng thinks it is better to simply take a step in place, the initial model of B2 is a certain problem, one is that the production and processing technology is more complicated (otherwise the 75th factory in Kharkiv will not produce less than 50 units in a year), and the second is that the gearbox with this engine is relatively large. It is because of the longitudinal position of the engine that the turret of the T34 will appear so forward.

If you can use the later improved version of the gearbox in one step, the engine can be placed horizontally in the engine compartment, which can save a lot of valuable space! Now that the progress can't catch up no matter what, Li Xiaofeng thinks that he should simply pursue perfection!

And this method made Yakov stunned: "Isn't it too impatient to carry out large-scale improvements before it has been put into production?" ”

However, Li Xiaofeng was unmoved, still insisted on this, and also pointed out: "We are to be bold innovation, bold improvement, for example, we not only want to develop a more compact gearbox, but also to work the B2 engine, to be more compact at the same time to increase the power, the current B2 is 520 horsepower, but I think this engine has greater potential, 700 horsepower or even 900 horsepower can be done!" ”

This is indeed true, the apprentices and grandchildren of B2 have indeed multiplied very vastly, an engine in the thirties of the 20th century, Mao Zi has been modified and modified until the 21st century, and there is a trend of continuing to use, I have to say that this is indeed amazing!

Of course, there are many lessons learned, such as Maozi has been in the pit of supercharging for a long time and can't get up, if they can switch to turbocharging sooner, B2 may have achieved even more.

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng pointed out: "To increase the power, I think turbocharging is a good way, and we should concentrate scientific research forces on this road to explore." And we not only have to improve the engine, but also work on the gearbox, although the fixed shaft mechanical transmission is simple and reliable, but it affects the mobility of the tank, we should actively explore new areas, such as dual-power transmission! (To be continued......)
