Chapter 214 The Unknown Intent of Nanjing Defense War Upper

For the Soviet Union, Zhang Xuewu has always maintained a cautious communication attitude. Although the German side is becoming more and more estranged from the national political axe, for the Rehe, the German political axe has a secret contact station between Rehe and Hong Kong. The German BF-109G has followed up the latest Maybach engine. And other accessories, as well as 40 Panther medium tanks designed by Germany based on jackal tanks, were transported from the Swedish ship from Vladivostok through the Far East Railway from Mongolia to Dingyuan Camp in Suiyuan.

In terms of material transportation, the Soviet Union gave Rehe great convenience and support. However, all the food, materials, weapons, oil, etc. needed by Rehe were loaded and shipped at the first time, and the train marshalling along the way was also the first time without delay.

In history, Dingyuan Camp was also the first place for the Soviet Union to select materials for assistance [***]. However, because Suiyuan was occupied by the Japanese army in history, it could only choose Xinjiang Province to provide limited assistance in the later stage. Compared with Suiyuan's Dingyuan Camp, Xinjiang Province is undoubtedly far-reaching.

Now Dingyuan Camp is in the hands of Zhang Xuewu Rehe Legion, so the Soviet Union decided to hand over part of the ordnance purchased by the National Government Axe to Rehe, and strive to open up the contact channels with the southwest of Jin and Jinzhong in the direction of Rehe. It is not only self-protection, but also the most important thing is to attack, and the effective containment is constantly replenishing troops. The continuous growth of the Kwantung Army has made Stalin in the Kremlin of the Soviet Union deeply feel the threat and uneasiness.

Because after the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, its intention to land in Qingdao was quite obvious. It was said that the strategic materials and reserves I had hoarded were not enough to support the consumption of 60 divisions at the same time. This huge consumption of materials was quite terrible in my opinion, so after the capture of Taiyuan, it was said that the military pass. Twenty-five divisions under the Eastern Army returned to the three northeastern provinces, and the rest of the troops were organized into the Central China Dispatch Army and the North China Expeditionary Army.

The main task of the Kwantung Army is to completely cut off the economy and traffic of the Rehe River, carry out siege tactics, use the blockade to strangle the Rehe Army, and wait for Zhang Xuewu's subordinates to attack with all their strength.

The purpose of the battle between the base camp of the Japanese army and the staff headquarters is to seek another decisive battle of the main force in Shanghai, and strive to use two or three large-scale battles to completely defeat all the main forces in the middle of [***], so that the national government axe will completely succumb.

Because the Kwantung Army transferred 22 divisions, the local preparation department began a new round of conscription and mobilization. A large number of reservists began to be shipped from North Korea to the three northeastern provinces for training. It can be said that the Empire almost took out its own wealth this time, even the original The retired Taisho 11-year-old 75mm L26 mountain gun and 38-type artillery were once again reloaded for service.

Originally, I thought that the Kwantung Army had been reduced from 47 divisions to more than 20, but the Soviet Union did not wait to breathe a sigh of relief. As a result, the Japanese began a new round of expansion. It was the Americans and the British who made the Soviets extremely angry. The Americans issued two sums to me for business politics, a total of 367. With a low-interest special loan of US dollars, I used these loans to buy scrap steel, aircraft engines, machine tools, and even weapons in the United States. Several military factories in Pennsylvania even produced Type 22 heavy machine guns and 6.5mm bullets for me.

Americans are lending money to me, allowing Japanese imports to push the decadent economy of the United States into crisis, while the United Kingdom is afraid that Japanese will fall to Germany too quickly, so it has also relaxed its policy for this henched little brother in World War I and gave him a loan of 40 million pounds.

At the same time, the Chinese diplomatic delegation failed to borrow a penny from Britain, and only generously received five million dollars from the United States. These dollars cannot be used to buy military and related products, but only medical supplies. It can be said that my poor soldiers and weapons are the same as in history. I support it, so that I can continue to wage wars to plunder a large amount of precious metals from China and continue to buy scrap steel and weapons from the Americans.

The Americans sell themselves to weapons, and the Chinese give them money to buy medicine. Therefore, there is no so-called justice and injustice in international affairs, and it has never been right or wrong. History is written by the victors. Whoever has a big fist and who says it is the truth. I'm afraid that justice is only within the range of our cannons.

The Germans and the Soviets quietly colluded. Politically, Hitler-dominated Germany and Stalin-controlled Soviet Union are two incompatible systems, but Germany was afraid that the Soviet Union would stifle its rise, while the Soviets worried that the Germans would point their weapons to the Red Empire after their rise?

Both the Germans and the Soviets were worried, so the Soviet-German relationship in 1937 became very delicate and even strange! The Germans and the Soviets, that is, the Germans and the Slavs, have a very obvious thing in common. Both peoples are very enthusiastic about land. Maybe they were both pirates earlier? Is that why you are so obsessed with the land? In Zhang Xuewu's view, whether it is a German or a Slav, their ancestors must not be particularly rich, so they always think about other people's things in their families. To put it plainly, they have a strong aggressive surname.

So this is also destined for the Soviets to hook up with the Germans secretly, but on the surface, both sides slander each other. This is the so-called international politics, the bitch of the archway.

Otherwise, the Soviets could not close their eyes and let a large amount of German arms arrive in Suiyuan through Vladivostok through Mongolia. The Soviets knew very well that these weapons and ammunition were used to fight against me, and said that my too powerful Kwantung Army had posed a great threat to the Far East. The Japanese army in more than two months. Li gave a heavy hit to the middle [***] team of more than 1.5 million on the north-south line, and even the soldiers were under the city! How long can the [***] team last? This is what the Soviet Union is most concerned about at this moment, because once I completely occupied China? Then I will get a lot of resources that they didn't dare to think of before.

The staff officers of the General Staff of the Soviet Union are obviously bolder than those radicals in my staff headquarters. The strategic staff officers of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union believe that once Japan conquers China, even if they only rule with China's political axe, they will get unprecedented strategic resources. If they are taking If you take the oil resources of Southeast Asia and Indochina, no one in the Far East and the whole of Asia will be able to resist their own chariots.

Because I said that I paid special attention to protecting the interests of Europe and the United States in the process of invading China, which made the Soviets feel that there was a lot of crisis. The ghost of [***] is the most hated by almost all European countries. They hated [***] much more than fascism, so Europe and the United States said about Asia. I have always adopted a policy of appeasement. The origin of this policy is more because of my joint fleet, a huge fleet that has ranked among the top three in the world in terms of gross tonnage. This is a strategic force that no country or even the political and international alliance dares not despise.

However, Zhang Xuewu is not particularly worried at present, because he has already given Feng Heping specific instructions, that is, to show them what should be shown to the Soviet side, and resolutely do not give what should not be given. For the Soviets, they need as much as they can, because Zhang Xuewu knows With the tension in Europe, the expansion of the German Third Reich and the appeasement of Britain and France, the Soviets will soon completely abandon China as a used ally in three years.

There is no love for no reason, let alone hatred for no reason in this world. All countries deal with international affairs from the perspective of their own best interests. These are all understandable. If you blame, you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough!

However, Zhang Xuewu believes that the shameless Britain and France are probably calculating how to bring Germany and Japan to the east. The policy of appeasement is actually a disguised compromise, which makes Germany feel that there is no threat on the western front. In this way, it can show its strength on the eastern front and let the Germans fight the red empire most in the world. Is it as simple as killing two birds with one stone?

Cooperation with the Soviet Union Zhang Xuewu also grasps a principle, that the Germans must be given more than the Soviets. If the Soviets developed T-34 tanks in advance, then the T-34 crisis on the Eastern Front broke out early. I'm afraid it was not the Germans who invaded Stalingrad, but the Soviet army invaded Berlin. It can be seen that the T-34 crisis on the Eastern Front was a serious threat to the German army.

So much so that he changed the overall tank design route of the German army, the Tiger King and the subsequent heavy and super-heavy E series tank Mouse King, etc. Zhang Xuewu did not plan to make T-34T tanks. The reason is very simple, because he can't afford the fuel consumption of the mechanized regiment. To put it bluntly, the war is the industrial foundation and army. In terms of industrial output, the German weapon design is indeed improving. Even the driver's seat in the tank has to take into account the comfort, and it has to go through 79 procedures to complete. The same seats of the Soviet TB series fast tank are just a few synthetic boards with foam. During the Soviet-German War, the Soviet T-34 tank The seat is simply cast iron. At the same technical level, when the quality and quantity reach the danger line of one to six, the quality will eventually be submerged by quantity.

However, Zhang Xuewu did not build it. He sent Feng Heping to the Soviets to support chemical plants, oil exploration equipment, oil refineries, a large number of machine tools and forging and rolling equipment. Zhang Xuewu was preparing for a rainy day. Once the time was ripe, he also had to have his own mechanized regiment, but before that, he had to hide his speed. The inflated strength, because Zhang Xuewu was also worried that he would besiege Rehe at all costs, so the strong strength of Rehe should be controlled within a certain range, that is, the army does not dare to act rashly, and it cannot be regarded as a thorn in the side of the army to be eradicated immediately.
