If it was before, the Devil's flight formation was indeed the largest with more than 100 aircraft, and more planes had to be dispatched in multiple batches, and they could not fully exert their combat effectiveness, but now they have received the support of the Americans in the radio field, so the original problem was immediately solved, in fact, even the sneak attack of the Japanese Navy this time, there is also the shadow of the Americans behind it

Compared with history, the Soviet Union in this time and space has greatly improved the production efficiency and product quality of its industry because it has production management and quality supervision methods that are far ahead of the times, so its national strength and military strength are much stronger than those of the same period in history.

Historically, the total industrial output value of the Soviet Union in 35 years (some say 36 or 37 years, at present can only be sure that 1937 must be shijie second, and from 1938 to the outbreak of the Soviet-German war is certainly not) first climbed to the second place of shijie less than two years later, because of the domestic economic restructuring (mainly the elimination of backward production capacity) and the merger with Germany and Austria, the second position was returned to Germany, and when the Soviet-German war broke out, Because Germany annexed the Czech Republic, an advanced industrial country that can be ranked in the top 10 of Shijie (Poland's industrial base is also okay, but it cannot be compared with the Czech Republic at all, and because the Soviet Union and Germany divide half each, it has little impact on the balance of power between the two countries. ), the advantages are further expanded. Therefore, the Soviet Union was able to defeat Germany in the end, and its strong industrial base certainly played a great role, but if it is said that the Soviet Union purely relied on its hard industrial strength to push the Germans back, it is obviously not in line with reality

At this time, the Soviet Union, under the premise of vigorously assisting the governments of China and the Spanish Republic, and the domestic government began to accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, the total industrial output value in 1938 still surged by more than 20% on the basis of 1937, which was still calculated according to year-on-year prices. And Germany annexed Austria even in this year. It still failed to regain the ranking of Shijie as the second largest industrial country, and the technological level and quality of industrial products, which were originally far apart between Germany and the Soviet Union, were greatly narrowed compared with before, in the evaluation of the governments of Western powers such as the United States and Britain. Even if the military aspect is not taken into account, Germany has fallen behind the Soviet Union, which has a larger population, richer resources, and greater depth. However, it is comparable to the huge industrial capacity of the United States, which is comparable to almost all of Europe. No matter how strong the Soviet Union's industrial strength is, what really makes the United States jealous is the growing military strength of the Soviet Union

In 1938, the Soviet Union produced more than $8 billion in weapons. Leaping to the first place in Shijie (you must know that the price of German weapons is much higher than that of Soviet-style weapons), of which the production of aircraft exceeds 12,000 aircraft, and the production of tanks and armored vehicles also exceeds 10,000 units, the former has exceeded the United States, Germany, Britain and France combined, and the latter is more than the combined production of all other countries in Shijie. What terrified the Western powers even more was that Soviet-style weapons were not only staggering in quantity, but also in terms of performance and quality

For example, the I-16 fighter, an old model, has been improved again and again, and is now not inferior to the main fighters in service with the Western powers. The MiG-1 and other advanced fighters under development are standing on the same starting line as the advanced fighters under development in the West, and the Il-2, the first attack aircraft on the Shijie, which is also under development, is of great epoch-making significance, and will greatly enhance the ground attack of the Soviet Air Force after its service. And Pokryshkin and a large number of ace pilots and officers who grew up in the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Spanish Civil War made the Soviet aviation forces undoubtedly the most powerful air liliang on Shijie

As for Soviet-style tanks. That is the advantage of the Soviet Red Army, the T34 tank that has not been fully finalized at this time in history has begun mass production, and even if the West is a tank under development, only the Panther tank that Germany stole the design drawing has more advantages in performance, and the other models are obviously inferior, this gap is too big, and Germany has been strictly secreting the matter of the Panther tank, and the United States has been kept in the dark so far, so it is naturally more afraid of the Soviet tank. What's more, even if the German Panther tank is put into mass production, its high cost and cumbersome process will greatly limit its production quantity, and considering that the production efficiency of the Soviet Union after improving industrial management methods is far from being comparable to the same period in history, the number advantage of T34 will only be greater than in history, even if the performance of the Panther tank is stronger than that of T34, the tiger can not stand up to the wolves! Theoretically, a large number of anti-tank weapons can resist the torrent of armor to a certain extent, and the appearance of hollow charge armor-piercing jishu in advance has also made the great powers begin to develop bazookas and anti-tank shells that use the principle of shaped energy armor-piercing and cluster anti-tank submunitions (including artillery shells and aerial bombs) of larger size, but relying on anti-tank weapons to deal with tanks, either need air supremacy, or have to take human lives to fill, but the current army and navy of the United States are obviously not the opponents of the Soviet army, and American lives are particularly valuable

Moreover, the powerful weapons of the Soviet army are not only airplanes and tanks, but also advanced weapons such as AKM assault rifles, RPG rocket launchers, and 122mm 40-barreled rocket launchers are also far ahead of this era, and they are very compatible with the characteristics of the Soviet Red Army, which makes the Soviet army more powerful, although the West at this time did not fully understand this. Although the economic strength of the United States is strong, but in the face of such a terrible red empire, Roosevelt's heart can not help but worry, although the weakness of the Soviet Red Navy makes it almost impossible to pose a threat to the United States homeland, but if the Soviet Union sweeps the European continent, the future of the United States will still be dark. Roosevelt knew very well that once the Soviet Union gained the huge industrial capacity and high-quality population of the whole of Europe, coupled with the vast depth of the Asian part of the Soviet Union, its strength would never be inferior to that of the United States, and if the United States lost the European market, the economy would inevitably suffer a greater blow than the Great Depression of 1929.

If Germany had unified the European continent, the situation would not have made much difference for the United States, but because of the strong racist stance of the mustache, there was no possibility of complete subjugation of the entire European continent by Germany, while the ideology of the Soviet Union could naturally suppress the national consciousness of the occupied areas, so the potential threat was much greater than that of the mustache's Germany. Of course, the sharp opposition between the two ideologies is also an important reason why Americans are wary of the Soviet Union. (To be continued.) )
