    Zhukov nodded, and then said: "By annexing Poland, we can gain strategic depth in Eastern Europe. This is an important step for our country to reach deep into the interior of Europe."

    Xia Yang didn't say much, just said: "I wish you good luck." He originally planned to remind Zhukov to be careful about the Germans and Hitler.  But when I think about the Soviet Union plotting against me, I no longer have such thoughts.

    Zhukov looked at Xia Yang with a smile and said, "Then why don't you guess the trend of this war?"

    Xia Yang, who originally planned to stand up and leave, pondered for a moment after hearing these words, and then said: "In a month at most, Poland will be wiped out directly."

    "What? A month? You know, according to our intelligence, the Poles have six armies with 800,000 troops on the Western Front alone." Zhukov was surprised by this time, "Although I really hope to be able to  It is unrealistic to destroy Poland within a month."

    But Xia Yang shook his head and said: "No, it's the Germans. The speed of their advance will exceed your imagination. Their army will crush the Polish ground troops into pieces with thunderous momentum."

    Zhukov still looked at Xia Yang with a look of disbelief, and then said: "Are you so sure?"

    Xia Yang said: "Everything needs time to be verified. I just made some reasonable guesses based on what I have learned and known." After that, he stood up and left.

    After sending Xia Yang away, Zhukov smiled and shook his head, thinking that although Poland was not big, this war would last at least a year. How could it end within a month?

    The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous he felt. He thought that this young man was still too whimsical.

    Early the next morning, Zhukov got on a plane to the Far East and left Tamtsag Prague.

    Other Soviet troops also gradually withdrew to Europe and the Far East.  Xia Yang led the Kagel combat brigade and returned to the Kagel tribe, but this time they expanded their sphere of influence again.

    They also have their garrison in the Nomenhan area.

    After returning to the Kagel tribe, the first thing Xia Yang did was to expand his army.  He used various weapons and equipment obtained from the Soviets and weapons captured from the Japanese to carry out large-scale military expansion.

    But these expansions are just routine projects.  The real focus of Xia Yang's army construction is on his equipment troops and artillery troops.

    After unlocking the third-level reward, he can already purchase some artillery.

    Although it is not the kind of cross-era equipment such as large-caliber self-propelled rocket launchers, even some cannons and mountain cannons developed in later generations have combat performance that is not comparable to the artillery of this era.

    In addition to these, he can also purchase some combat vehicles, such as fire support vehicles, off-road vehicles, trucks, all-terrain vehicles, etc.

    Within a few days, he purchased a large amount of new equipment, the most important of which was the ah4 155mm ultra-light howitzer.

    The total weight of this howitzer is less than four tons, and it only needs a truck to tow it.

    While maintaining a very light weight, this artillery can still reach a super large caliber of 155mm.  In Xia Yang's era, this ultra-light howitzer developed by China was basically the most advanced large-caliber howitzer at the time.

    The ah-4 howitzer uses titanium alloy, aluminum alloy and other lightweight materials, making the overall weight even lighter than some 122mm caliber and some 130mm caliber artillery.

    "Compared with the small-caliber artillery equipped by the Japanese army in this era, which had a range of only seven or eight kilometers, the range of this howitzer can reach a terrifying thirty kilometers.  Its fire suppression capabilities and coverage capabilities are definitely not comparable to the artillery of this era.

    Especially on the Chinese battlefield where the level of mechanization is not very high, this kind of artillery can form an absolute advantage over the Japanese army.

    Xia Yang also imagined that when he could unlock higher-level equipment, he could purchase some transport helicopters, hoist such artillery directly, and deploy it on the battlefield.

    In addition to artillery, Xia Yang also purchased a large number of trucks, fire support vehicles, and some Warrior off-road vehicles.  These are all to improve the mobility of their troops. On this vast grassland, the mechanized troops will exert greater power than in mountainous areas.

    It took Xia Yang a full month to purchase weapons and equipment and train relevant combat personnel.

      It was already September. On the first day of September, Xia Yang received news from Starsky that the Germans had begun to invade Poland.

    This was within Xia Yang's expectation, because he obviously had no way of affecting the history on the European battlefield. Everything there was still developing according to the historical process.

    After a month of expansion, Xia Yang's sphere of influence has been consolidated and grown, more than doubling in size.  Correspondingly, the combat personnel of the Kagel Combat Brigade have more than doubled.

    The expansion of the Kagar combat brigade is not only an increase in combat personnel, but more importantly, an improvement in the overall equipment status.

    After Xia Yang purchased a large amount of new equipment, he directly transferred soldiers and reorganized a howitzer regiment, a transportation regiment, and a rapid reaction regiment.

    These three regiments are all equipped with new artillery and trucks, as well as a large number of fire support vehicles and off-road vehicles.  They all have the characteristics of rapid deployment and rapid response, and their firepower is extremely fierce.

    In addition to these, Xia Yang used the weapons and equipment left by Zhukov to once again expand the armored forces.

    He newly formed the Fourth Tank Regiment and the Fifth Tank Regiment, as well as two newly established motorized infantry regiments, which brought the number of their armored units to more than 20,000, accounting for about half of the Kagel Combat Brigade.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
