"Comrade Stalin, this is the latest information we have collected, showing that Japan intends to go north."

"Going north?" Stalin asked with a frown, "Is there any reliable evidence?"

"There is no particular clear evidence, but the Kwantung Army on the other side has been frequently mobilizing. It is said that a batch of tanks and artillery have been obtained from China recently."

"This information is contrary to the information you gave me the day before yesterday," Stalin put down his pipe and said lightly, "Tell me that the Kwantung Army has drained nearly 60,000 troops from at least three divisions! If we really want to attack us, we should increase our troops."

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Chief of Staff Wasseylevsky broke the silence and explained with a tough bullet: "In fact, it can be seen that Japan may only reduce the light infantry troops but increase technical weapons such as tanks and artillery, and its offensive capabilities continue to grow."

"How many tank engines have we sold to the Japanese?"

"Since the start of the transaction, more than 3,700 units have been sold, and at least 2,500 tanks can be armed." Voroshilov replied respectfully, "These engines have brought precious food to the Soviets. Of course, we also know the risks and have decided to significantly reduce the number of engine transactions after this autumn harvest."

After a year of rest and recuperation, a large area of ​​land in the Far East was reclaimed and planted, and the grain output of Eastern Russia increased significantly. At the same time, in the winter of 1944, the population dropped abnormally by more than 1 million due to resettlement, cold, and insufficient food. Coupled with the reduction of birth rate under displaced and the wave of escape to Western Russia, the actual population decreased by nearly 2 million, but the population structure of nearly 28 million that has been retained has been optimized, mainly young and middle-aged. The food gap has been greatly compensated as it has increased and decreased.

"Don't reduce it!" Stalin waved his hand and took out another report, "This is a secret document forwarded by Comrade Molotov. The Japanese captured our comrades during the attack on Hawaii. The number of people was more than 100. They are currently negotiating with us, and they are very arrogant."

"This" everyone could only nod in a speechless manner.

The Red Army flight crew that went to the United States to "work and make money" had more than 1,400 people. They were originally carrying out transportation tasks well, transporting supplies and snatching dollars. Their lives were still very comfortable. Unexpectedly, Japan suddenly launched an attack, and more than 100 transport aircraft flight crews on Hawaii Island had no time to evacuate and became prisoners. Although these pilots had vowed to keep secrets and not fall into the hands of the enemy, they would rather die than be prisoners. The problem was that the Americans themselves surrendered, and they could only surrender in a confused manner. Then the prison that originally held Japanese pilots and prisoners was instantly transformed into prison cells for Red Army prisoners. As for the huge US military and American civilians, there were separate prisoners of war areas.

“What request did they make?”

"There is no requirement, we just want to explain what this is. At the same time, we also need to inform us of how many instructors there are in the United States, how many people there are in the flight crew, and what is the general list."

"How come Americans are so unreliable?"

"The Americans have never been reliable!" Stalin smiled coldly, "Comrade Molotov temporarily stabilized the other party and said he wanted to investigate. Do you think that can the delivery of tank engines be stopped now?"

Now Japan has basically been able to build "domestic" tanks based on the full set of t34 technology, but the b2 diesel engine has not yet fully understood, and the imitation products are of poor quality. In order not to delay equipment, it used a large amount of grain trading engines to help the Soviets survive the food shortage in 1944, and the Japanese army also obtained thousands of engine-produced tanks as they wished.

Based on the engine trading volume, it can be basically judged that Japan's annual output does not exceed 3,000 units! Although this number is much better than the number of more than 1,000 crisp tanks before, it is not enough to be included in mainstream powers. It is only equivalent to the production of one month in the heyday of the Soviet Union. Even if East Russia now produces IS2 and T43/85 in full, the production of light and heavy combinations in a month can exceed 1,000. In addition, the production of Su85 and Su100 has exceeded 1,300 units a month. The Soviets are not afraid of tank-pairing Soviets.

So Stalin's words are interesting: "If we reduce the supply of tank engines, the enemy will soon notice some problems. If we continue to supply, they will not understand our trump card comrades. Although imperialism will not die, this war will start sooner or later, for the Soviets, it may be better to postpone it."

Beria then added: "We heard from the inside of Belarus that Japan and Vlasov had been connected and wanted something to attack us. Unexpectedly, Vlasov refused."

"This traitor has not forgotten that he is a Russian." Stalin pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, don't activate the action plan for Vlasov. Let's take a look at the situation first."

The so-called action plan actually refers to the plan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs assassination of Vlasov. The original idea was to mess up Western Russia. On the one hand, this could cause internal chaos in Western Russia to seek opportunities to take advantage of, and on the other hand, it could delay the time of Western Russia's attack. However, Stalin had just understood the subtext from Beria's report. Once the Japanese army headed north, Western Russia deployed on the Ural Mountains would not send troops to attack, which won a relatively ideal military environment for the Red Army.

"The only strange thing is that the highest general of the Japanese Navy, Hori Teiki, had firmly opposed going north or south, so why did such a rumor be heard?"

"After occupying Hawaii, Japan was very arrogant, and going north was not groundless; secondly, Japan's internal political situation was unstable. In countries like Japan, internal instability often relied on launching wars to seek balance; last and most important point is that the Japanese Kwantung Army has improved rapidly in terms of supplement, training, combat effectiveness, and technical weapons from several years, and obtained a series of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, and especially train cannons from Germany, which was quite eager to try. Going north was originally a step of Japan's invasion, nothing more than a sequence, so I think it is very likely, and this scale is different from the last border friction and Nomenhan. The scale of Zhang Gufeng will be very large, and we should be fully prepared." Supreme Deputy Commander Zhukov finally concluded, "Although we don't want to have a war with Japan now, if we really fight, we are not afraid, but will beat the enemy and defeat it."

"What's the news in Xinjiang recently?"

"Sheng Shicai colluded with several other religious warlords and completely cut off this traffic road."

"What do Chinese comrades think about this? Are you willing to invite us to settle in in their name?"

Stalin originally had a plan: after the riot in the third district was successful, he hoped that ** would invite 300,000 Red Army troops to march through Mongolia to Xinjiang, and at the same time asked ** armed forces to draw 300,000 troops from Shanxi and Shaanxi to attack from east to west, jointly defeat Sheng Shicai and the Northwest Sanma, so that ** and East Russia's territory would be linked through the Hexi Corridor, and at the same time, he hoped that some areas in the northwest would join the Soviets in the form of a franchise republic. However, for some reason, the Yan'an authorities politely declined this suggestion, believing that the current domestic situation was tense and that Ning and Yu were about to merge, and inviting the Red Army into Xinjiang was a huge blow to Yan'an's reputation.

"This narrow nationalist style is undesirable. It is hindering the international movement and hindering the revival of the world revolution." Stalin seemed very angry. "I informed Comrade Mikoyan to go to Xibaipo again. ** does not welcome us to crack down on Xinjiang warlords. If Japanese imperialism invades us, will they continue to remain indifferent?"

"How do you want them to cooperate?"

"If the Kwantung Army goes north, it requires ** to draw out the strongest 500,000 troops to open up the Mongolian front line to form a back-to-back revolutionary alliance! Comrade Migoyang must complete this task! As for the Far East, Stalin glanced at Zhukov, "Comrade Konstantin is fully responsible, he has experience in dealing with the Japanese!"
