"Can your army afford the equipment of ten divisions?" Li Bingtian asked in surprise.
"You still don't believe in the strength of our department?" Li Guoyao asked.
"That's not true. It's just that these ten divisions can equip at least 150,000 troops, but the total number of volunteers and resistance forces in the entire Northeast region is only tens of thousands. Your department is new here"
Before he finished speaking, Li Guoyao interrupted him and said directly: "Old General Li, for us, 150,000 troops are not too many. At present, the total strength of our troops in the Northeast has exceeded 150,000. Only However, due to limitations in weapons and equipment, these troops did not dare to fight face-to-face with the Japanese troops at the division level. Even so, not long ago we completely annihilated the Japanese ninth division."
"If the Soviet Union is willing, let alone 150,000 people, even 300,000 or 500,000 people will not be a problem. I am afraid that they do not have that much weapons and equipment to support us right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ivanov heard from the side: "Hahaha, General Li, although our Soviet Union is being invaded by the German Nazis, its strong industrial production capacity has not been affected. We are fully capable of supporting you. The equipment of ten divisions, or even twenty or thirty divisions, is no problem, but I don¡¯t know if your division is worthy of our huge support!¡±
The industrial production capacity of the Soviet Union before the war was indeed very strong, ranking second in the world and first in Europe, but that was before the war.
We all know that modern wars compete on comprehensive national strength, especially industrial and technological strength.
Please note that in 1941, Germany¡¯s occupation zone included all of Western Europe except the United Kingdom. Although the Soviet Union claimed to have achieved industrialization at this time, compared with Germany, its comprehensive national strength, industry, and technology were all far behind. Street by street.
This may not be convincing, but let¡¯s use data to speak for itself. From 1942 to 1944, Germany¡¯s power generation was 2.18 times that of the Soviet Union, its steel production was 3.09 times that of the Soviet Union, its iron production was 2.52 times that of the Soviet Union, and its aluminum production was 6.72 times that of the Soviet Union. The output of coal is 5.36 times that of the Soviet Union, the output of diesel is 2.89 times that of the Soviet Union, the output of metal cutting machine tools is 3.35 times that of the Soviet Union, the output of tnt production is 3.25 times that of the Soviet Union, and the output of ordinary gunpowder is 2.1 times that of the Soviet Union.
It is necessary to explain two points. First, Germany here is calculated based on the output of German territory in 1937, that is, before the annexation of Austria, not to mention the occupied Western European countries such as the Czech Republic, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Second, the German military industry from 1942 to 1944 was still suffering from strategic bombing by the British and American Allied Forces. Without the Allied bombing, Germany's industrial output would have increased by at least 10%, or even higher.
It can be said that in all industrial indicators, Germany is two or three times that of the Soviet Union!
If you include the industries of occupied countries such as France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, it is at least five or six times that of the Soviet Union, and the result is obvious. Even if the Soviet Union cannot be said to be beaten, at least it will be beaten.
So when Ivanov said how powerful the Soviets were in industrial production, he was just bragging to them. Anyone who has watched movies such as "At the Gate" should remember that the Soviet army did not have enough guns at that time. When Vasily went to the battlefield for the first time, he only received a five-round magazine. He had to charge behind the others. Only after the person holding the gun in front was killed would he have the opportunity to pick up the gun and fight.
However, with the strong assistance from the allies, the Soviet Union has finally recovered. Especially after retaking big cities such as Kiev, the Soviet Union's industrial production capacity has indeed recovered a lot.
In addition, the two parties are now negotiating, and it is natural to brag to their opponents, so Li Guoyao did not expose his bullshit, but smiled calmly and said: "This matter can actually be solved, once we reach an agreement According to the agreement, I allow your ministry to send a working team of no more than a thousand people to our ministry, and then our ministry will launch an attack on the Kwantung Army after receiving the weapons and equipment, and the results will speak for themselves."
Li Guoyao¡¯s words are very clear. Your people can watch us fight. You have the final say on whether the fight is good or not. If our record is good, you will continue to provide us with equipment. If not, then stop it!
"This is a good idea, but how will the equipment be delivered to your department? You must know that the Japanese have stationed at least five divisions of troops on the border, and there are also a large number of bunkers and fortresses, large-scale Weapons transportation cannot escape their surveillance and interception," Ivanov said.
Li Guoyao said: "We don't need to hand over the Northeast region. At present, our department controls all the areas from Siziwang Banner to Chabei. The area connected to Outer Mongolia is five to six hundred kilometers. We can choose a place along this line as a Where weapons are handed over.¡±
After the translator explained Li Guoyao's meaning clearly, Ivanov immediately took out a map from the map box nearby and read it carefully.
After a long time, Ivanov nodded and said, "Li, your idea is very good. I will report it to the commander of the military region."
Then Ivanov said again: "The equipment of the ten divisions is a bit too much, and the Far East Military Region does not have that much inventory at the moment. Therefore, we will first use the equipment of the five divisions as the basis, and according to the agreement between the two parties, wait until the military region After the headquarters approves it, all the weapons will be sent to the China-Mongolia border and handed over to your department within half a month, and the rest will depend on your department's subsequent performance."
"Yes, happy cooperation!"
¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to work with you!¡±
???????????????
Since Suihua is not the territory of Li Guoyao's command, nor is it the territory of Li Bingtian's command, everyone did not stay in Qinjia Town for a long time. After the negotiation, both parties quickly evacuated.
After returning to Yushu, it was already January 8, and Li Guoyao held an internal meeting in Yushu.
The scale of this meeting is small, but the level is very high. After all, it is related to how the army will develop in the future.
You must know that once the Soviets agree to support the Northeastern Advance, a large number of Soviet-made equipment will be installed, especially a large number of artillery and armored units, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will make a qualitative leap.
But now it is necessary to do a good job in receiving new equipment, such as training enough tankers and gunners, and forming a logistics support force, etc. After all, these new arms have high logistics requirements.
Fortunately, the armored regiment of the army in Datong has begun to take shape, and there are already hundreds of tank crews, so Li Guoyao only needs to train another batch there to gather the first batch of required armored troops.
In addition, the troops in the Northeast region must also expand at a faster pace. After all, once the weapons and equipment are provided, the next factor that will affect the development of the troops is the number of soldiers.
At that time, Li Guoyao formulated a three-month troop expansion plan. He required all troops to increase their number by one-half based on the current number of troops.
¡°Anyway, there are a lot of ordinary people in the Northeast who can¡¯t live anymore, and there are also a lot of bandits in the mountains and forests. As long as these people are willing to fight the Japanese, Li Guoyao will not refuse them.
Therefore, under Li Guoyao's order, all units of the advancing army took action quickly and became more active than before.
From Harbin to Jiamusi, Mudanjiang, to Jilin, Fengtian on the southern front, and Tongliao Chifeng on the western front, a large number of Chinese troops took action. Although they did not engage in direct confrontation with the Japanese and puppet troops, they continued to carry out disruptive attacks. and uproot strongholds.
For a time, the entire Northeast region was filled with the sound of gunfire, and the real smoke was everywhere. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
