mixed in the war

"The central government is not worried about Lao Jiang's armored corps?"

Zhou Enlai was in Chongqing, thousands of kilometers away from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Southern Bureau had a lot of affairs. How could he have time to think carefully about the strength comparison between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?It is even more impossible to ask the central government in the telegram, "Are you worried about Lao Jiang's armored corps?"Naturally, I don't know much about the mentality of the central government.Therefore, when he heard Wang Ruofei's words, he was naturally taken aback... When he divided up the weapons left by Timoshenko, he was the chief representative of the Communist Party and knew very well what the Kuomintang got. More than 500 tanks, more than 300 armored vehicles, more than 500 cannons... these alone can scare people to death.

"Why should we worry?" Wang Ruofei smiled, "Lao Jiang's military level is too poor, and he pays too much attention to the strength of equipment. But he didn't think about it. When he encircled and suppressed the Central Soviet Area, from the strength of the troops to the equipment, which one was not ours? How many times more? But what happened? If we hadn’t made a mistake and fought fiercely with the Japanese under the city of Nanjing, maybe it wasn’t his Central Army.”

"What a big tone. I'm sure the 'chairman' said it." Zhou Enlai couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, that's right." Wang Ruofei laughed loudly, "But although this statement is meant as a joke, the "Chairman" firmly refuses to admit that he is boasting."

"That is to say, 'Chairman' and the others already have an idea to deal with Lao Jiang's armored corps?" Zhou Enlai suddenly regained his spirits.He is busy with affairs, and there are not many military generals around except Ye Jianying, but Ye Jianying is also very busy... After all, they are the only leaders of the Southern Bureau.So there is very little chat with each other.As a result, he has always been worried about the sudden acquisition of a large amount of mechanized equipment by the Kuomintang.The Soviets had weapons and equipment that could fight against nearly a million Japanese troops, even if they were put in the hands of Lao Jiang, a bastard.At least it can fight against 50 Japanese troops, right? The 50 Japanese army, if calculated by attacking each other, is almost 250 million ** combat power.He was well aware of Lao Jiang's wariness and murderous intentions towards their leaders, so of course he would not be happy about it.Unexpectedly, the unresolved problem he had been thinking about had been solved by the central government itself.

"It's hard to say whether to deal with it or not. It's just that everyone has already thought about it." Wang Ruofei laughed.

"Want to open?" Zhou Enlai was puzzled.If you think about it, don't you need to care about Lao Jiang's growing strength?

"Let's not talk about anything else, our major bases. Except for Khalkha, the rest are almost all in the mountainous areas, and it is not a place where Lao Jiang's armored corps can display their power." Wang Ruofei explained, "If he dares to come , I might as well give up these weapons for nothing.”[

"Almost all mountains do not mean that we have no plain bases. What's more, Khalkha, where the center is located, is even more expansive. It is simply the place where the armored forces can show their power the most." Zhou Enlai said. "Besides, this time the Kuomintang sent people to take over these weapons. They should have investigated some of our arrangements in Khalkha, as well as the geography and terrain along the way from Kulun to Guisui. If they really hit back one day , which is quite detrimental to us.”

"Actually, we were all caught in this kind of worry at the beginning," Wang Ruofei said with a smile, "but I want to ask a question. Vice President Zhou, do you know the speed of those tanks and armored vehicles?"

"I don't know much about the others, but I remember some of them are the latest T-34 tanks, which are very fast, about [-] to [-] kilometers per hour." Zhou Enlai said.

"But this is their fastest," Wang Ruofei said, "and the speed of the most common Mongolian horse is almost 40 kilometers per hour."

"Horse?" Zhou Enlai was taken aback, but he was also a soldier and had fought countless battles.Immediately understood what Wang Ruofei meant: "You mean... cavalry?"

"That's right." Wang Ruofei smiled, "It's cavalry. No weapon is more powerful than cavalry in the Khalkha Prairie."

"I understand." Zhou Enlai shook his head and laughed.Indeed, on the Khalkha Grassland, nothing compares to cavalry, especially cavalry who have obtained a large number of light weapons left by the Timoshenko Group.It would be fine if Lao Jiang sent troops up, but if he sent armored corps... No matter how fierce the tanks are, no matter how powerful the impact is.How many hours can you run?Moreover, this kind of army needs a lot of fuel supplies, how can it compare with the cavalry who can appear anywhere on the grassland at any time?

"Not only that." Wang Ruofei continued, "Lao Jiang thought he had obtained a mechanized armored corps, and his strength had greatly increased. But he didn't think about it, as the enemy under the nose of the Japanese, why would they not Worried? The Kwantung Army’s withdrawn troops went straight to Nanyang, and they ignored him at all... In the end, people don’t think that his army can exert much power at all.”

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Zhou Enlai felt that his brain seemed to be unable to keep up.

"Industry." Wang Ruofei sighed, "Without a strong industry as the foundation, no matter how powerful the mechanized army is, it is just a castle on the beach! The armored corps that Lao Jiang took over seems to be powerful, but according to the information we have, it is just a castle on the beach. From Kulun to Guisui, along the way, the tanks and armored vehicles were constantly malfunctioning. If there were not some spare parts left, we doubted whether they would be able to get out of Khalkha. However, when the spare parts left by the Soviets were used up , How long can this armored corps last? Even the latest t-34 tanks need to replace parts after 400 kilometers off-road. Others, such as t-26 tanks, need to be overhauled after more than 200 kilometers... The Soviets are now I am too busy to take care of myself, so how can I provide him with new accessories? In addition, the fuel consumption, still taking the t-34 as an example, the fuel consumption per [-] kilometers is nearly [-] liters, and this is still running on the road. It’s great that the tank can barely run for two hours... He, Jiang, is said to have the supply of oil fields in Nanyang, but he probably has more than enough energy to deal with this big oil eater? What’s more, the Japanese are going south now. He definitely can't run away from the oil fields in Indonesia. Once the oil fields fall, if he still wants to dispatch this armored corps. Tsk tsk..."

"You said that, I understand a lot." Zhou Enlai let out a long breath, and then laughed again: "No wonder the central government wants to hide the tanks and armored vehicles we got... I thought the central government was planning something. Big actions, now it seems, can't afford it."

"It's not just that it can't be used. Not to mention the dozens of tanks moving together, even if there is only one tank, go out for a circle, and the comrades in the central government will grin with distress." Wang Ruofei also smiled wryly. "Some comrades said that this thing is flashy, it's better to just dismantle it and make it into a cannon..."

"How can this be done? It's just a mess." Zhou Enlai laughed, "We can't use it today, but as long as we keep it well, we can still use it in the future."

"That's true. The 'Chairman' said, even if it can't be used for war. When China's own industry is established and capable, it can also be used as a model to imitate production... Although it is not conducive to the accumulation of technology, it can save money. , and the price-performance ratio is also the highest." Wang Ruofei said.

"Technology accumulation? Cost-effectiveness?" Zhou Enlai was taken aback again.Hearing such a word from a comrade who always likes to talk about doctrines and ideas, he actually felt a little strange and fresh. [

"New terms. It's still the content in the books in northern Shaanxi that you sent." Wang Ruofei explained. "Although there are many enemies around Khalkha, the actual situation is much better than that in northern Shaanxi. Everyone is full of beef and mutton, and they are studying...the atmosphere is very strong."

"Those books can interest the comrades in the Central Committee. Those books must be extraordinary." Zhou Enlai sighed: "It's a pity that we only focus on doing things these days. Although we left a few books at the beginning, we haven't studied them carefully. Now it seems It was a big mistake."

"It's really a good book." Wang Ruofei said solemnly, "The 'Chairman' has to hold the book "The Rise of Great Powers" almost every day. I have read it several times, and I still don't let go all day; Boss Zhu is the last I like the book "Modern Warfare", and I often talk about "overall warfare"; and Comrade Bishi... "Chairman" said that Lao Jiang got a mechanized armored corps that won't last long, but even if this armored corps The fact that the regiment can go on forever is not as valuable as the box of books in his room. These books have really broadened the horizons of our central leadership comrades, and their value is immeasurable."

"These books were sent by Qin Wei." Zhou Enlai said.

"So. We must fight for this person, no matter how much effort and time we spend, we must fight for him. His value exceeds that of Chiang Kai-shek." Wang Ruofei said solemnly.

"Is this what the 'chairman' said?" Zhou Enlai asked.

"It's not just the 'Chairman', it's the consensus of the main leaders of the central government." Wang Ruofei said: "Knowledge is power. Qin Wei gave us these books, which actually gave us great power... This is comparable to what he gave us. Lao Jiang’s things are much more valuable.”

"As far as I know, many of these books are from some professors of Chongqing University and Central University..." Zhou Enlai said again.

"These people should work hard, but it's best not to 'force' them to stand in line." Wang Ruofei said, "The central government means that people who engage in learning are relatively pure, especially those who study pure academics. Their value lies in their ability to detach themselves. Therefore, we can get close to them and let them agree with our position, but it is best not to win them over directly. In this way, we can easily gain the favor of these scholars and avoid Get the attention of the National Party."

"If the central government said so, the work would be much easier to carry out." Zhou Enlai breathed a sigh of relief.There are not many small characters who can be drawn by Qin Wei to write a book.For example, Ma Yinchu considered himself a teacher of Chiang Kai-shek, and Chiang did not dare to deny it.And if they deliberately contact these people, they will definitely attract the attention of the Kuomintang, which will cause a lot of trouble, and may even bring danger to these scholars and professors.Knowledge is power, and knowledge is also wealth. If these talents are lost due to disputes between the two parties, it will be a great misfortune for the whole of China.

"There is also Qin Wei. Although the central government has a policy, if you can pay attention, it is best to pay more attention... Many of the contents of those few boxes of books have not been published, but so much content is by no means one or two. If a person can write it, there is someone behind him.”
