Chapter 367 Worst Situations Next
In the face of the huge pressure on the Japanese side, Stalin began to hesitate and wander. Zhang Xuewu defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and would not give the Soviet Union an inch of land. At most, he contacted the threat from the Far East for the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union and Germany could sign a neutral treaty, then the threat from the Far East would not In addition, Stalin did not think that Japan or China would be the opponent of the heroic Soviet Red Army on land.
The threat posed by the joint fleet to the Soviet Union was so great that its impact was so great that Stalin felt embarrassed. Stalin did not believe Lottsov's words. Although Lottsov was his naval commander-in-chief, if Stalin's own purge had not killed all the Red Army admirals, Lottsov It is absolutely impossible for such an incompetent person to become the naval commander of the Soviet Red Army.
Stalin and even knew the current situation of the Soviet Red Army. He was full of confidence in the army, but he was worried about the navy Stalin, because the aging of the ships of the Soviet Red Army had become a big problem. Only less than 50% of the ships could start, and the rest could only lie in the dock repeatedly. After renovation, the resources are occupied by the huge Red Army Army, so in accordance with the principle of first the army and then the navy, all forces are concentrated to give priority to the development of the army.
Therefore, Stalin made a choice that he thought was wise and ordered Molotov to contact Japan in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If he was willing to make concessions on the Mongolian issue, then the Soviet Union would agree to negotiate and sign a Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty with Japan. From the signing of the treaty, the Soviet Union will stop. Provide military assistance to Rehe Zhang Xuewu, and stop relevant civil technology and factory construction projects.
It can be said that Stalin finally chose to ask for his own interests and compromise with the Germans on the two-sided platform of Germany, Japan and China. As the only [***] country in the world, the Soviet Union was isolated by the whole Europe, so Stalin should be more cautious in considering international issues. There are no friends, let alone allies!
Zhang Xuewu was also greatly shocked that he had dispatched a joint fleet to demonstrate to the Soviet Union. Zhang Xuewu knew that there would be a big change in the policies and attitudes of the Soviets towards him. Almost all the Soviet aid had arrived. Zhang Xuewu was very worried that the Soviet Union would cut off the passage of it. In this way, the channels for the domestic transportation of materials to Suiyuan can no longer be continuously imported into the hot river from the Soviet Far East Railway.
This is what Zhang Xuewu is most worried about. [***] Almost all the main forces are deployed in the fifth war zone. Under the command of Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren prepared to launch an offensive against the main force of the Central China Army with the force of the army, with the intention of counterattacking the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou region. For [***] launched in Xuzhou In the face of the counterattack, Zhang Xuewu adopted a cold attitude, and the strength of the whole tenth war zone was devoted to the clean-out in the northwest and the maintenance of local stability.
The whole Pingjin is already easy for Zhang Xuewu at this moment, but Zhang Xuewu is not in a hurry to eat, because the Soviet side's attitude towards him is not clear. At this moment, the situation in Europe has begun to enter the beginning of a chaotic era. The rise of Nazi Germany and the wave of British and French appeasement is even more It makes the German chariot look unstoppable.
Sure enough, the [[***] offensive launched in Xuzhou was contained in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou region. The bloody battle for 70 consecutive days made the [***] team lose a lot of losses as well as the main force of the Central China Japanese Army and the remnants of the North China Japanese Army. The actual combat proves that when the Japanese Army is shrinking its defense, its battle The force is very strong. Although the centralized artillery fire of the centralized [***] team once smashed the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou defense line, but because Nanjing is under international trusteeship, the central [***] team can not pass through the weak flank of the Japanese army, resulting in the main force of the central [***] team being able to attack the frontal defensive positions of the Japanese army, more than a dozen elites. The Rui army took turns to fight. While killing 800 enemies, they also lost more than 3,000 of themselves. In this way, the huge consumption of the war country could not be supported for a long time.
North China, where the army's military strength is extremely empty, has fallen into a strange circle. Hundreds of thousands of troops stationed near Zhongtiao Mountain in the northwest of the Jin Dynasty are eager to try the Pingjin area and most areas of North China, but they dare not go deep into the Pingjin area. The forces of the military and the puppet army even gave up the Beiping City, but the tenth battle is just a short distance away. However, the district has never sent troops to take over the defense, the troops in the tenth war zone have not taken over the light, and the rest of the [***] departments do not dare to pull out their teeth, so there is a strange circle in North China? It is said that I am gradually giving up. They don't even have the explosives used for large-scale destruction, and the powerful 10th war zone and the [***] main force near Zhongjo Mountain seem to be watching?
In fact, Zhang Xuewu is also hesitant, because although the tenth war zone under his command can be called a strong soldier, his greatest military assistance relying on the political axe of the Soviet Union has been cut off? The whole world believes that Zhang Xuewu is the largest buyer and buyer in the world, and the strength of the tenth war zone is bought. However, if someone has visited Baotou Industrial Base and the emerging Lanzhou Industrial Base, it can only be described as shock.
Taking advantage of the economic crisis in the United States, Zhou Ying acquired more than 400 American factories at scrap iron prices and dismantled them to China. More than 100 of these factories have been installed and re-debugged in Baotou, and the rest will be set up in the emerging Lanzhou industrial base. It is also why Zhang Xuewu is in a hurry. The main reason for attacking the west is that Zhang Xuewu is not used to putting all the eggs in the same basket.
Moreover, nearly 70,000 technicians and engineers who have returned from the United States one after another will constitute an industrial technical worker in a huge industrial system. Zhang Xuewu used the almost astronomical funds supported by Zhou Ying to build a systematic industrial industry chain in just a few years. In that year, he sent a large number of them to Zhang Xuewu at all costs. The people who went to Germany and the United States for training now really understand what Zhang Xuewu's so-called foresight is.
The decision of the Soviet Union is undoubtedly the worst decision for Zhang Xuewu, which means that Zhang Xuewu's tenth war zone has been completely isolated from then on. This is also the worst situation that Zhang Xuewu had expected before. For Zhang Xuewu, taking risks the use of troops in the west, even if he bears the burden of the great enemy. In the name of Shi Ge, the whole northwest issue should also be completely solved, and the Ma family's forces should be completely uprooted and swept away.
Zhang Xuewu has made a comprehensive response, and the lonely China is destined to resist alone! In this contest of national will, failure is equivalent to extinction!
