In particular, the computer technology in the West, which was just in its infancy, was already more than ten years ahead of the West in 1946, and it had a far-reaching impact that even exceeded Hu Weidong's expectations. First of all, at the beginning of 1947, the world's first practical CNC machine tool came out, which to a large extent made up for the lack of senior technicians in China, the labor productivity of the domestic industry also began to increase rapidly due to the substantial increase in the level of automation, because of the labor shortage led to a sharp decline in the growth rate of China's industry re-started rapid growth, although it still could not recover to the extent of the "triple jump" period, but with a larger base of China's industry than in the past, the total industrial output value increased by 10% This is enough to make the world powers uneasy

In fact, even though China deliberately postponed the test of the first atomic bomb and did not become the first bird, the loud noise still made the effect of China's obscurity in the past few years. As the situation of World War II became clearer, the Chinese government quickly changed its attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and began to actively prepare to join the world war.

But the problem is that although it only takes three months at most to mobilize more than 8 million troops, this figure is actually not an advantage compared with the three great powers of the United States, the Soviet Union and Germany, and those advanced equipment newly developed in 1946 also need time to form sufficient production capacity, so Hu Weidong thinks that China is better off waiting until after May 1948 (in fact, it can complete war preparations earlier, but it is obviously stupid to attack the Soviet Union in winter). It's better to go to war again. To buy this time. At the same time, to further weaken the former big brother of the Soviet Union, Hu Weidong decided to spend a lot of money to fool these old hairy people again

The Soviet government was shocked when it learned that China had tested an atomic bomb, and immediately sent Molotov, the No. 2 person, to visit China, on the one hand, to persuade China to join the European Union again, and on the other hand, to ask China to transfer atomic bomb technology to it.

Naturally, the Chinese government was reluctant to agree to these two conditions, but for the latter, Hu Weidong proposed that he could do everything he could, ostensibly promising to provide technical support to the Soviet Union, but stressing that China currently does not have many scientific and technological personnel. There is no expatriate manpower. Therefore, the Soviet Union had to send people over to study. Since it is a well-known fact that there are not enough scientific and technological workers in China, the Soviets could not find fault with them, and they could only do what the Chinese government had arranged if they wanted to obtain the technology for the atomic bomb. In this way, on the one hand, it was possible to further dispel the vigilance of the Soviet government. On the other hand, it can delay time and make the Chinese government more prepared to enter the war. As soon as the two countries turned their faces, the nuclear experts sent by the Soviet Union were immediately detained, and these top talents were gone. It will only be harder for them to build an atomic bomb than it has historically been

Although Stalin was by no means an ordinary person, China's constant overtures to the Soviet Union in recent years, and its vigilance had been weakened a lot, coupled with its eagerness to obtain the atomic bomb, which made the Chinese side lose its mind, and China's reasons were reasonable, so the Soviet government soon sent a number of people including the "father of nuclear weapons" (and also the father of nuclear energy) in history. Vasilyevich. Thousands of scientists and senior technicians, including Kurchatov, came to China to study, and Hu Weidong was overjoyed, but he was also worried that they would return to China as soon as they understood the key points, so he deliberately let them start with those marginal departments, and then constantly waste the time of these old men for various reasons, and by the time they came into contact with the key departments, China's war preparations had been completed

Another important outcome of Molotov's visit to China was Hu Weidong's assurance that Germany now had only one atomic bomb left at most. Vasilyevich. Kurchatov's inferences coincided, which somewhat strengthened Stalin's confidence. So he finally made up his mind to launch another large-scale attack before winter came.

However, although the area attacked by the Soviet army had become Soviet territory before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, it was newly occupied, and the local residents were more hostile to the Soviet Union than they agreed.

In addition, since the Soviet-German war, the total number of Soviet troops killed, missing, and captured has been close to 12.5 million, and if you include the Soviet officers and soldiers who have completely lost their combat capability due to injuries and are still recuperating from their wounds, the total number is as high as more than 14 million, and the number of dead and missing civilians in the Soviet Union has also exceeded 16 million. This shocking loss undoubtedly hurt the vitality of the Soviet Union, and even though the Soviet Union was the most efficient in mobilizing in the world, and now that the Soviet Union had largely recovered all of its pre-war territory and greatly increased its population, its human resources were inevitably on the verge of exhaustion

When the Soviet Army's "Autumn Counteroffensive" was launched in October 1947, although the Soviet Union still had a total of more than 8 million troops, there were more than 2 million female soldiers, and most of the male soldiers were old and weak. Although Germany also faced the difficult situation of running out of manpower, the impact on the quality of soldiers on the defensive was much smaller than that of the attacker. As a result, the Soviet offensive soon failed, with more than 150,000 killed, missing, and captured Soviet troops, while the Germans suffered less than 100,000 casualties.

On the other hand, the Leningrad Front and the Karelian Front, which had been poorly fought, were given priority reinforcement (Note 1) and defeated the combined forces of the three Nordic countries, not only successfully "recovering" the Karelian Isthmus, but also annihilating more than 250,000 enemy troops.

But there is nothing strange about this result, although the armies of the three Nordic countries are strong, but the population is too small, and the corresponding military resources are naturally very scarce, especially as the core of Finland, as early as the Soviet-Finnish war has lost a large number of troops, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, although the battle has been won repeatedly, but the total casualty figure has accumulated is quite amazing, with a population of less than 4 million in Finland, the elite soldiers with higher quality have almost been exhausted before this campaign

Note 1: The Karelian Isthmus is a matter of security in Leningrad and must be taken no matter what, but the southern front is not so resolute because the Soviets themselves are a little bottomless, and the autumn offensive is largely tentative, and the basic plate has been recovered.
