Chapter 237 China Military Power Report
Seeing Kutuzov's desperate look, the little boss didn't understand that there was a better way, so he quickly waved his hand to the other unlucky ones who were being criticized, and waited for everyone to leave.
, then he stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Comrade Kutuzov, do you have a better way?"
"It may not sound like a good idea, but it is the most effective at the moment!" Kutuzov smiled faintly, as if the whole world was under his control: "Do you still remember what I received a week ago?
Got the order?"
"The order a week ago? Let us investigate the situation of China's armed forces through the mouths of relevant personnel who travel to China?" The little head looked at Kutuzov in disbelief, then his old face turned red, and he continued: "But
...You also know that we are still hundreds of kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet border, and the people coming and going are only non-military personnel, so... so... the recent results have not been great!"
"If this "Zhongli Report" is counting on you, then...hehe, it's better to just let the sow climb the tree to be more practical!"
The little boss had long been immune to the constant ridicule of Kutuzov, but what he paid attention to was another piece of information in his words, so he frowned and asked in confusion: ""Zhongli Report"? Such a report is generally
Isn’t it targeting Western countries? Why should we start targeting China?”
"It's not aimed at China. In fact, China's recent performance has been too eye-catching. Not only did it cross the 38th parallel, but it also directly captured Seoul. The most important thing is that our aid has not yet arrived. Comrade Stalin is happy
, couldn’t help but wonder how China did it, so he ordered Comrade Beria to prepare a "Zhongli Report" so that he could get to the bottom of it!"
Kutuzov was right. The suspicious Stalin did question the situation of China's armed forces, but that was it. There was no so-called fear at all. After all, no matter how powerful the squadron was, it was only one of the strongest.
An army with a slightly better fighting ability.
Compared with the mechanized armies of the United States and the Soviet Union, they are simply products of two eras. The most important reason why they can push the U.S. military from the Yalu River to the 38th Parallel is the squadron's flexible and changeable tactics.
The U.S. military's inability to adapt, coupled with U.S. Commander MacArthur's underestimation of the enemy's aggressive advance, led to the U.S. military's complete defeat.
As long as the routine is figured out, the squadron's little tricks will no longer work. No, as soon as the US Eighth Army replaced Li Qiwei, the battle situation developed in the US military's favor. Because of this, what is the squadron's combat effectiveness?
Stalin really didn't care about it.
The reason why we want to find out the situation is mainly for the arms trade between China and the Soviet Union. With the replacement of new Soviet equipment and the ability to mass-produce it, a large number of obsolete World War II equipment has become a headache for the Soviet army.
, I think it’s too backward to use it myself, and it’s too wasteful to destroy it all.
The most practical option is to sell it to foreign countries. After all, the Soviet Union, which had just recovered from the brutal World War II, was not very wealthy. Since the landlords had no surplus food, they had to find a few tenants to exploit it. Those in Central and Eastern Europe
The younger brother is naturally the first to bear the brunt, but the problem is that the small satellite countries in Central and Eastern Europe are all too small and cannot digest the huge surplus materials of World War II.
So Stalin turned his attention to China. Not only was it large in size, it was also locked in a stalemate with the United States in North Korea. It was a time when arms were urgently needed. Therefore, after some bargaining, China purchased the equipment of more than a dozen divisions, but the Soviet Union
Make a lot of money, if nothing else, but the DP-27 rotary light machine gun commonly equipped by the Soviet Union during World War II, the factory cost price was only 50 rubles.
It can be resold to China for a sky-high price of US$228. You must know that the US dollar at this time is the same hard currency as gold. US$35 can be exchanged for one ounce of gold (converted to international measurement units of approximately 28.5 grams). US$228 is approximately
It is equal to 6.5 ounces of gold, which is nearly four taels of gold when converted into traditional Chinese measurement units.
Forty taels of gold and a light machine gun, what else is it if it’s not a sky-high price?
And this is just the price of a light machine gun. There are also heavy machine guns, blasting tubes, large-caliber artillery, tanks, combat aircraft, etc. All in all, this business not only cleared a lot of the Soviet Union's World War II surplus materials, but also made a lot of money.
The bowls are full, and China has already held back the United States in North Korea. It can be said that they have all the face, lizi, and money they want, so much so that Stalin can even wake up from his dreams with a smile.
Since there are many benefits, it is necessary to make persistent efforts. However, Stalin has also heard some bad news recently, that is, China feels that the price of Soviet equipment is too high, so it is preparing to develop a batch of equipment on its own to reduce its dependence on the Soviet Union.
For example, the Type 50 fully automatic rifle mass-produced by China embarrassed the old Mosin-Nagant rifle, which caused the Soviet Union to make a lot of money. In order to prevent similar things from happening again, Stalin asked the Soviet intelligence department to
It is important to understand the equipment status and combat characteristics of the squadron so that the next arms sales can be better targeted.
It's just that not everyone can figure out Stalin's true thoughts. Even his close associates can't accurately judge Stalin's exact thoughts. Otherwise, how to highlight the leader's unique temperament? So various interpretations are flooded in the Soviet Union.
in the political circle.
As a member of the circle, Kutuzov naturally had his own understanding, which was that Stalin was wary of China's combat effectiveness in North Korea. In any case, the Russian Empire, the predecessor of the Soviet Union, had seized too much from China.
With the addition of territory, now that China has completed its national liberation and the nationalist trend is at its peak, it is difficult to say that China will not make territorial demands to the Soviet Union in the future.
Rather than being caught off guard by then, it is better to prepare for it earlier. Therefore, Kutuzov believed that this was a clever move by Stalin, and as Beria's confidant, he wanted to be prepared to find a breakthrough to kill Boskrebyshev.
, then if he just uses this clever move to the extreme, wouldn't he be able to achieve his goal effortlessly?
So Kutuzov briefly mentioned a few words to the little boss, then picked up the notebook in his hand and told the little boss with a sinister smile: "Include this situation in the "Zhongli Report".
Then it will be sent to Moscow immediately. As for the rest... I will find those comrades in China to cooperate. When the time comes, huh, those self-righteous guys who are accused of foreign affairs one by one will not be able to escape..."
Before he finished speaking, he and the little boss laughed cruelly. At the same time, Bai Yi also laughed, but it was different from Kutuzov's trick of calculating people. He laughed because he was hindering No. 2.
The technical bottleneck of the recoilless artillery was finally perfected by Stuttenberg
The problem was solved, so that until this moment, Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh, the master is the master, after all, he is better than his second sword, so Bai Yi became more determined at this moment, and must complete the "double introduction" plan as soon as possible, which is very important to the country.
