The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

But this proposal is indeed exciting!In particular, it was almost tailor-made for Roosevelt. He didn't even need to spend any more brains, and he could directly use the existing team to operate.Don't forget, in order to solve the problem of employment, he tossed the unemployed Americans to dig ditches and fill them up everywhere, and messed up infrastructure construction to stimulate domestic demand and related industrial production. In comparison, building warships for export can also make money. have to!

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Roosevelt tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair, and said in an unquestionable tone: "This matter must be pushed forward with the greatest strength! It is related to the vital interests of the American people, and we cannot shrink back because of the short-sightedness of a few people." , that doesn't fit my character!"

Basically, what he said is tantamount to doing whatever it takes to get it done.The staff members nodded and immediately put this matter on the headlines to handle it.

In fact, it is very exciting to think about it!How big an order will this be?The main battleships of the Japanese United Fleet have basically been destroyed. If you want to rebuild, 100 million tons can't be done at all, and the current cost of warships is about 20 US dollars per ton, and one guy is 100 billion!U.S. dollars!Is it possible to drive an output value of [-] billion US dollars through the leverage effect?

Are Americans short of money?lack!Very short!

The devastation of the Great Depression brought them back to the beginning of the century overnight. The 37-year economic crisis almost caused a second collapse. Zhu Bin and his fellow stole half of the gold reserves. Florida's disaster relief funds are stretched this time.The United States needs a lot of small money to solve the problem, nothing else, as long as the idle factories are started and running, everything is ok!

Roosevelt thought very clearly, you don't want me to fight and you don't want to die.No problem, if you don't allow the sale of arms, you will offend countless people---which consortium in the United States does not have one or two large arms manufacturers!The consortium is the arms dealer, so it didn't run away.

So, will Japan and Britain buy warships?

Roosevelt has no doubts at all, he will definitely!It's just that they have no money!The British are now facing Germany's siege and killing, and there are not enough warships to go to the Far East to support their appearance in order to chase and intercept them.The Lend-Lease Act came out, and the first batch of fifty old-fashioned destroyers had to be prepared for their use. The larger ones were still hesitating, after all, the size of the British Navy was already quite large.

Not to mention Japan, there are not many warships available to this ambitious little man. Facing the powerful Chinese navy that is close at hand, it is important to rearm himself in a short time. Military secrets and so on... I'm almost dead, so I don't care about those!

in their hands.There are still some good things that can be used to pay for the construction costs in the United States!Roosevelt thought to himself, let's see how to take advantage of the fire to dig out all the things at the bottom of the little Japanese box.

It's easy to say, but it's a lot of things to do. The changing situation in the world makes ordinary people's heads unable to keep up.

In Europe, after the German army and the Soviet army commanded by Hitler divided up Poland, it took less than a month to collect Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium, and the armored forces that bypassed the Maginot Line and launched a surprise attack were overwhelming. The British and French allied forces will be defeated steadily.

The two veteran empire leaders were chattering.While retreating in embarrassment, there was no sign that they could resist the German army at all.The huge French army seemed to be a puddle of mud with its bones removed, and the German army, which was preparing for a fierce battle with all its strength, seemed to punch in the air. The speed at which the armored corps rolled forward even surprised them, doubt Is there a trap or something here?

Hitler was abnormally crazy and arrogant on the surface, as if he was a little crazy, but that was all a superficial phenomenon that had not been adjusted properly.Seriously speaking, it is still relatively cautious.The violent attack of the three-way army showed a completely different result from what he expected. He was a little worried while he was excited.

But the good comrades around him didn't see it that way. Himmler confidently claimed that this is the strength that the world's number one German army already has!The unkind Brits and Frenchmen have lost all the strong bones of their forefathers except for their tongues.It is very normal to lose all the way!The Germans deserve such a record!It is completely possible to sweep the entire Europe in one go, without any opponent!

The situation before us is indeed very charming!The powerful German armored forces are invincible!It can be seen that the continental victory has been achieved; the seemingly powerful Russia behind has been held back in the Far East, and the worrying Yankees have been held back by their own people and natural disasters. It seems that no one in the world can bring trouble to themselves .Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime!

"Go all out and kill them!" Hitler issued his own tough call to the entire army.

The weakness of the old imperialism has been fully exposed, which has made their threats in the Far East ridiculous and weak. Except for Lao Jiang and others who still fear them, the young people have long regarded these Western bandits who have brought China a century of shame. Driven off the altar, dreaming that one day the battleship will be driven to their door, and the shame will be wiped out!

In such a folk atmosphere, the sacrifices on the northern battlefield did not seem so tragic and unbearable.

These days, dead people are nothing more than a normal thing. No matter where you live, who hasn't been hit by natural disasters three or five times?After decades of continuous wars, frequent droughts and floods, most of the common people are numb, and they are calm when they are used to death. Soldiers can still have a pension and a good reputation when they die in battle. If the water drowns and the earthquake kills them, isn’t it impossible to catch anything?

So Zhu Bin was not worried at all that anti-war sentiment would appear in the rear after he continued to fight.

While winning the battle on the center line, the sea attack situation continues to open!With the cooperation of the navy, the landing force advanced all the way along the coastline, destroying the Japanese defense line from Zhuanghe to Dadonggou one after another. , It is only a matter of time before it is captured.

Once Andong falls, Japan's main link with North Korea and even its mainland will be completely strangled, the Japanese army will basically lose its defense, and the entire Kwantung Army will be surrounded to death in half of Liaoning Province. To the point of no return!

The Japanese army is really anxious!The local defense forces, especially the flight regiment, were urgently mobilized to fight frantically for air supremacy.And it seems that it has launched a comprehensive attack on the North Sea Fleet, with a posture of endless death.

Of course Zhu Bin didn't care.The entire Yellow Sea is now the territory of the Beihai Fleet. Thousands of planes can be dispatched to fight against the salient part of the Shandong Peninsula at a time.Pilot diving is definitely caught.

The large-scale military aid from the United States to Japan has begun to reach a large scale. Groups of ocean-going cargo ships are loaded with light and heavy weapons from the west coast and sailed to Japan. Railway arteries transported to the frontline battlefield.

Xiongji at the mouth of the Tumen River was originally a small fishing village with few people. After the opening of the port 30 years ago, the railway was built and directly connected to Mucheng, and then connected to Jilin, Heilongjiang and Liaoning.And because it is close to the edge of the Far East of Soviet Russia, the geographical location suddenly became important.

In order to avoid the bombing of the Chinese Air Force and the threat of the Navy, a considerable part of the materials originally transferred from the Yellow Sea began to be transferred from the North Korean Eastern Front. Correspondingly, the transportation on this side was also refurbished.There was also the great discovery and construction of the Musan Iron Mine. For several consecutive years, here and Chongjin in the south have been turned into important material transfer centers.Of course, it is inevitable that it will attract the attention of hostile forces!

Yang Jingyu's anti-union forces finally regained their strength after recuperating in the area east of Musan across the border between China and North Korea for nearly a year.Withstood numerous encirclement and raids by the Japanese army, slowly and steadily strengthened its own strength, actively absorbed and united the progressive forces of the local Koreans, and finally tossed out the original empty shelf with a solid 3000 troops. Including Xiongji with special geographical location!

After Zhu Bin sent someone to get them to this place.Basically, I can't help much. At most, I will use the submarine carrier to wander around the vicinity every now and then, and then use a helicopter to transport them to the seaside.

But these are enough, there are not many of them, and they don't engage in any large-scale field battles.Most of the guerrilla warfare operations in the mountains are basically aimed at valuable targets.The standard is that the total number of captured guns and ammunition must exceed the consumption, otherwise it is a wrong action, and it is very wrong and irresponsible to not take the number of enemies wiped out as the main indicator.

After the last cleansing and several years of tempering, the entire team has basically no half-hearted and unsteady elements.With the help of the mountain special forces headed by the resident Li Hanfeng, the whole division's mountain guerrilla warfare tactical training was completed. The current First Division of the First Army randomly pulls out a platoon to fight against the enemy, conduct sabotage, and play sparrow warfare. It's not a big problem to hold the devil's nose in circles.

In terms of weapons and equipment, they have basically completed the third change of equipment, and the last is the Japanese [-] cover, half of which are semi-automatic rifles shipped from China. The proportion of light machine guns is not less than that of the Japanese army, and portable mortars Bazookas, bazookas and recoilless guns are more common equipment. If the infantry guns are not in the way, they can even make up a regiment.

The war situation in the Northeast changed drastically, and the Japanese army along the Yellow Sea was defeated, which led to a sharp change in the movement of the Japanese army in North Korea. Yang Bu, who was deeply concerned, keenly discovered the opportunity to take advantage of it, so he frantically adjusted the deployment of weapons and equipment by the Japanese army. At that time, they quickly gathered around Wufeng Mountain in northern North Korea from scattered places without anyone noticing.

In an impenetrable valley surrounded by forests, a group of anti-union leaders and North Korean resistance leaders who have been chased and intercepted by the Japanese army for many years but have not seen any results, gather together. The landlord and the initiator of the action presided over the meeting without hesitation.

It’s not long since spring started in the north, and the cold air is still blowing. They haven’t changed out of their patched cotton padded clothes. But there is not much decadence in them, their backs are straight and their eyes are shining.

In the middle of the log-built room, surrounded by a glowing red fire, sits a piece of uneven log under their buttocks. This group of teachers, commanders, and political commissars roasted sweet potatoes without any pretensions, and drank knives to warm their stomachs. Sisi haha meeting.

Yang Jingyu swallowed the hot, slightly burnt red sweet potatoes in two or three gulps, suppressed the sour water in his stomach, and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, I believe everyone already understands the current situation, and I don't have much to say." Long-winded. According to the information we have now, the Japanese army is not reconciled to its failure in the Northeast. It is obtaining a large number of weapons, equipment and material support from the Americans, and they are continuously transported to the battlefield through the railway artery in northern North Korea! The superior instructed us , We must seize the favorable opportunity, take the initiative to attack, and cause damage and delay to the Japanese army as much as possible, but we must still win the victory. Try not to ensure your own safety. If you have any ideas, talk about them!"

Democracy Association, don't talk about it, this is the experience they have summed up over the years. Facts have proved that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.

Several comrades of the Anti-Japanese League looked at each other, and they all went over and over again in their heads. Comrade Jin Jiu of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army couldn't suppress his excitement, and said with burning eyes: "As a Korean soldier, we always hope to take 3000 million The people were liberated from the Japanese invaders! I think that when they are in chaos and tension, they should actively mobilize the masses, especially the miners who were oppressed and enslaved by them, to arm themselves, seize the rule of the north, and cut off the internal and external ties of the Japanese army in one fell swoop! Then snatch their weapons and equipment in several major coastal port warehouses, quickly arm more people, and drive out the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop, thus actively responding to the overall situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War!"

Talking and talking.He couldn't help standing up, pinching his akimbo with one hand, and waving his hand vigorously in front of him with the other. At the age of less than 30, he already had a leadership temperament.

Yang Jingyu frowned, not expressing his opinion in a hurry.But he has already made a clear statement at the beginning.Maintaining one's own vitality is a prerequisite. According to Jin Jiu's statement, the elites who have been honing hard for ten years will all die, and I am afraid that they will not be able to persevere to the day of victory.

Song Tieyan, political commissar of the First Army, pinched off half of the cigarette butt with a smile.After taking over the words: "Comrade Jin Jiu's speech is very positive. In principle, we also agree with the idea of ​​driving out the Japanese army as soon as possible. Only in this way can peace and tranquility be brought to the people of China and North Korea. However, I have one point The suggestion is that our strength is still relatively weak now, and the Japanese army has just been beaten into a panic. All transportation lines and important industrial and mining areas have been heavily guarded. The original police and puppet troops have been replaced by regular troops. In the spirit of the superiors, should we discuss this in the long term?"

What he said was reserved, but Jin Jiu understood it all at once, sweating slightly on his brow, sat back on his buttocks, his face flushed slightly, grinning and said: "What Political Commissar Song said makes sense, I was a little too impatient!"

It's not just impatience, it's just nonsense!

But no one directly criticized him for these words. After all, he is also the leader of an army, and he is more likely to be the leader of North Korea's main military force in the future.

Zhao Shangzhi, the commander of the Third Army who came back from the northern battlefield, filled the eye bag pot with Yabuli cigarettes, took a deep puff, and held it in his mouth for a long time, protruding a thick column of smoke, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let me tell you my opinion." Ah. We just came here, and we are not familiar with the place, so the specific battle arrangements are under the command of Commander Yang. But from our experience, the more nervous and crazy the Japanese army is, the easier it is for them to make mistakes. The harder people are squeezed, the easier it is to create opportunities for us! I think the mass base will get better and better, and we won't suffer too much if we fight!"

The others nodded in agreement.A teacher who has been sticking to the local guerrilla warfare for a long time said: "That's it! In order to cope with the fighting in the northeast, the Japanese army developed the Maoshan Iron Mine almost crazy, and almost mobilized [-] miners to work around the clock. Or death from exhaustion, which has caused great indignation! If it weren't for the suppression of a large number of military and police, they would have rebelled! We want to engage in raids, and they will provide us with sufficient help and cover, at least in terms of intelligence It will be much richer!"

This is not just a problem of iron ore. This problem exists in all mining areas in northern North Korea. The destructive mining of the Japanese army requires a lot of manpower, and it is very harsh and harsh, causing great public anger. It is just the slavishness of the Koreans. It's heavy, and the resistance isn't intense.

The situation is the same in factories in other cities, but due to the limited level of local people, most of the technicians are transferred from Japan or China. Everyone in the local area does the heaviest work and gets the least money, and there are many complaints.Or Jin Jiu would dare to say that he has mobilized the masses in an all-round way, because the accumulated anger is quite a lot!

But Yang Jingyu and the others could see clearly.In terms of patriotism and determination to resist, these people are definitely not as strong as the Chinese, and their stamina is not enough. The land is small and the people are poor, and they simply cannot organize large-scale organic forces.

Therefore, he waited for everyone to basically express their opinions, and then spoke again: "Based on everyone's opinions, our operation this time is still mainly to harass the Japanese army's traffic and destroy its warehouse materials. However, the scale is much larger than before, which requires Appropriately strengthen the support of heavy firepower. In this regard, I would like to ask Representative Li to tell everyone.”

Representative Li is Li Hanfeng.

He went into the deep mountains and old forests to fight guerrillas. After staying for several years, he couldn't get used to it when he went back, so he came back after a while. He was in charge of the joint training and actual combat work of various special forces in the Northeast for a long time, and basically became one of them.

He basically has the same appearance as the Anti-Japanese fighters, and he completely lost the original western style. He smiled and said: "Our big boss's support for the Anti-Japanese team does not need me to talk nonsense. Since everyone intends to take the initiative to attack, I will ask the higher-ups to release some suitable equipment. , I dare not say too much, but it is not a big problem to gather a hundred heavy machine guns and dozens of small cannons. Once the location is determined, I will contact you immediately."

This performance is much more modest than previous years.Yang Jingyu couldn't help beaming with joy until he never said what he said, and slapped his thigh and shouted: "Okay! With your strong hands, I believe that we will be able to fight well in this battle!" (To be continued ..)
