"Why?" Hu Ri'er asked.
Xia Yang pointed to the west and said: "Over in Europe, there is probably going to be a war, and the Soviets will also be involved. We need to get more benefits from the Soviets before that happens."
Kh¨¹r¡¯er doesn¡¯t know much about these changes in the political situation. So he didn't quite understand what Xia Yang said.
Their car was driving like a long dragon on the Mongolian plateau.
In the distance are endless pastures and rolling mountains. This place is full of vitality, which raised Genghis Khan and the immortality they believed in.
In the not-too-distant past, this was even their Chinese territory. It was only because of some concessions by the Kuomintang and the pressing pressure of the Soviet Union that this place became an independent country.
This time, Xia Yang and the others were lucky and did not encounter any accidents. In a week's march, they didn't even encounter a rainy day.
Xia Yang had been to Russia in his previous life.
At that time, the Soviet Union had already disintegrated. He used to look for jobs as a representative and conduct military exchanges with Russian special forces. During his two months there, he learned Russian and also learned Soviet songs, including the Russian version of "The Internationale"
After passing through Ulaanbaatar, they traveled on the vast Mongolian plateau for three days before reaching the border area between the Soviet Union and Outer Mongolia.
The Soviets did not fortify themselves in the border areas between Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union. After all, Outer Mongolia does not have the conditions to threaten the Soviet Union. This country is no longer able to conquer the world on horseback compared to their ancestors.
Today¡¯s wars test a country¡¯s comprehensive national strength, including industrial capabilities, military capabilities, and organizational and mobilization capabilities. But now in Outer Mongolia, except for some factories that the Soviets helped them build, there is almost no industry to speak of.
Even if they hold their sabers high and set up powerful bows and arrows, they can't compete with the Soviets.
After entering the Soviet Union, the roads began to show some changes compared to the dirt roads they walked on before.
During the process of industrialization of the Soviet Union, the advantage of socialism in concentrating its efforts on big things was fully utilized by them.
They built railways and roads across the entire Eurasian continent. These railways ran from Moscow, across Siberia, and then to the Far East.
After Xia Yang and his convoy entered the Soviet Union, the road they traveled on was one of the Soviets' construction of the Eurasian Continental Bridge.
They arrived in Irkutsk two days later, which is located on the west side of Lake Baikal and where the Trans-Eurasian Railway passes.
From Khur¡¯er¡¯s mouth, Xia Yang learned that Irkutsk was a relatively large Soviet city in the Mongolian border area. At the same time, it is also a military center.
There are several Soviet armored divisions stationed here, as well as some infantry units.
Kh¨¹r said: "On the plain north of Irkutsk, there is a piece of land belonging to the Soviet Army. I once saw that there were too many tanks to count. It is said that they were all used by the Soviets to deal with the incoming Japanese troops. They were transported here because of threats from people.
¡°But I¡¯ve seen that you don¡¯t need so many tanks to fight the Japanese. The total number of tanks and vehicles there must be seven to eight hundred! "
Xia Yang sat in the car, listening to Khuri's words and looking at Lake Baikal not far away.
Lake Baikal is the largest lake in the world, covering an area of ??31,500 square kilometers, which is roughly the size of two cities in Beijing. Its deepest point reaches 1,637 meters, making it the deepest lake in the world.
During the Han Dynasty, Su Wu was captured by the Huns and exiled to the North Sea to herd sheep. The North Sea here is now Lake Baikal.
"Those are considered strategic reserve materials of the Soviet Union, but now the Soviet Union has no actual opponents. The surrounding countries, Poland and Finland, are all small countries. The only one that poses a threat to them should be Germany. But the Germans signed the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact with them," Xia Yang said.
"It is precisely because of this that I feel that we have hope of getting a batch of tanks from the Soviets." Xia Yang said.
"How can these tanks be transported back? The trucks can't pull those tanks," Hur'er said.
Xia Yang pointed to the train that was running not far away: "Train, give the Soviets some benefits and let them use the train to help us transport tanks and equipment.Prepare for transportation to Outer Mongolia. When we arrived in Mongolia, we drove the tank car back, which saved a lot of distance. "
Kh¨¹r nodded and said: "If the Soviets really agree to let us use those trains, then when we go back to transport ammunition, we can use trains first. And then transfer it to trucks, which can save a lot of gasoline and time. .¡±
Xia Yang nodded and said: "Yes, as long as the joints are opened, things will go much smoother. We have to get these equipment from the Soviets before the Germans and the Soviets fight."
One day later, they finally arrived in Irkutsk along the road along Lake Baikal.
This city is not very big. The total population of the city is only two to three hundred thousand people. But even in such a small city, nearly 100,000 Soviet Red Army troops were stationed.
These Soviet Red Army troops all exist to deal with changes in the Far East.
The Japanese army's successive victories on the Chinese battlefield forced the top leaders of the Soviet Union to start to control Japan. What if the Japanese swell and go north to attack them?
It is precisely because of this consideration that the Soviet Red Army has dozens of army divisions stationed in the Far East. Among them are well-equipped armored divisions and aviation groups equipped with various fighter aircraft.
So on the streets, Soviet soldiers in military uniforms can be seen everywhere.
After Xia Yang and his caravan arrived here, they entered a Soviet military camp under the guidance of Hu Ri'er.
At this time, the Soviet Union implemented a socialist system of complete public ownership. In theory, there was no so-called market economy. But in the distant Far East, Moscow's policies will undergo some subtle changes here.
¡°The so-called policy from above and countermeasures from below does not only happen in China, but also in other countries.
The Soviet soldiers guarding the gate were obviously not seeing Khuzhir and the others for the first time. He just said hello and let him go directly.
