The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 344 The Last Winter of the 30s

Although China belongs to the "Northern Hemisphere" geographically, China does not seem to have the courage of the northern hemisphere countries.In the "North-South dialogue" of later generations, China can only live in the "South". Later generations call for "South-South cooperation", which actually means that developing countries should cooperate with each other.

Until Wu Aihua crossed over, China did not get rid of this "role positioning", coupled with the influence of traditional Chinese farming culture, therefore, a major country accounting for a quarter of the world's population basically has no "maritime strategy". Speaking of riding the wind and waves in the ocean, even the few inland seas and islands in the inland sea outside the house are often bullied by people.

It can be said that although the Chinese people, including ordinary people, all think that their country is a "big country", but no one thinks that they are "citizens of a big country", because as long as the Chinese go abroad, they will be subject to various constraints.Not to mention some factors, but the most important factor is that China is a relatively closed country, and its strength is not bad on its own one-third of an acre of land, such as the army is relatively good; On the ocean, it is almost impossible to see the power of China.

The emergence of this situation was related to the weak national strength at that time; but it was more related to the country's "strategy".If it is said that the whole world came to encircle China because of some doctrine, then, what about Soviet Russia, why would others dare to challenge it in the world?

In fact, apart from the strength of Soviet Russia, it may have something to do with "strategy".The Soviet Russians not only paid special attention to occupying land, but also liked to cross the sea.As long as you study the history of Russia's expansion carefully, you will know that this small principality in the interior of Moscow hundreds of years ago, after hundreds of years of hard work, managed to obtain access to the Arctic Ocean, the Black Sea, and the Pacific Ocean.

It is also because of these ideas and concepts that Wu Aihua does not like to use troops in the country after his strength has begun to take shape, but considers military strategy in the entire world.The "Northern Lights Project" is just one aspect of Wu Aihua's global strategy.

……

After signing the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" with Finland, in just three days, the first [-]-ton merchant ship was loaded with military supplies and set off from Guangzhou to Helsinki.

When Finland received these military equipment, Wu Aihua believed that in the upcoming "Winter War", the days of Soviet Russia would be worse than in history.

In October 1939, after Germany and Soviet Russia jointly partitioned Poland, the world situation fell into a strange state of calm.Although Britain, France and other countries had declared war on Germany, they actually declared no war.

It's not that Germany doesn't want to attack anymore, but that it wants to digest Poland before attacking; but Soviet Russia hastily aimed its guns at Finland regardless of whether Poland was digested.

Although Finland is a small country, its President Mannerheim is an extremely wise leader.From the day Soviet Russia requested a land exchange, Mannerheim knew that a war between Finland and Soviet Russia was inevitable.

While Mannerheim stepped up the recruitment of soldiers to prepare for the war at home, he sought assistance from the international community. However, because Germany had signed a secret agreement with Soviet Russia, it could not openly support Soviet Russia. Britain and France had many other ideas, although There was some assistance to some extent, but the arrival of these assistance was already in February 1940, and by that time Finland had run out of ammunition and food and was unable to fight any more.

Although Eastern China's assistance has various conditions, it is generally more gentle than Britain and France, and it is completely within the scope of the Finnish government.

On November 1939, 11, the Soviet-Finnish negotiations broke down.

On the same day, China's [-]-ton merchant ship "Ping An" arrived in Helsinki.

1939年11月30日，苏俄军队23个师共45万人突然从三个方向攻入芬兰，并迅速抵达芬兰著名的国防线曼纳海姆防线。

The beginning of this war is exactly the same as in history. The Soviet Russian army was stubbornly resisted by the Finnish army, and its losses were even heavier than in history.

During the first week of the Winter War, perhaps because the commanders of the various fronts did not like unfamiliar weapons, the Finnish army did not use equipment from China.

When the time passed to late December, after the two sides actually harassed and harassed the war, a Finnish reconnaissance battalion, which had been urgently trained by the instructors of the Chinese Lightning Special Forces, began to go deep into the front line to harass the Soviet-Russian supply lines, military battles, and soldier camps.

And after only three days, the battle reports sent back by the reconnaissance battalion made these proud Finnish officers lower their proud heads. The reconnaissance battalion of 750 people fought continuously for 72 hours, killed more than 4700 Soviet troops, blew up or burned 75 Soviet tanks, and 1200 tons of ammunition. It also killed a Soviet deputy commander and a division level commander.The Finnish reconnaissance battalion paid only 1 lives.

Because the time is very short, it is impossible for the instructors from China to train this group of Nordic big men like the Chinese special forces. Basic military skills cannot be taught. They are more taught some concealment, makeup, assault, lurking, and retreat. , cover, sniper and other tactics.The whole training time is only three weeks.But the effect is obviously very obvious.

Also in these three days, the "Eagle Dragon 1" purchased from China began to take off into the air. Facing the powerful team of 96 Soviet bombers and 48 fighter jets, the Finnish Air Force that took off urgently controlled 48 "Eagle Dragons". Type 1" greeted the Soviet Russian Air Force.At that time, the Finnish Air Force was already the most advanced air force in the world in terms of tactics. The four-aircraft formation tactics they adopted were far ahead of the three-aircraft formation, and later became the main tactical formation of the World War II Air Force.

This air battle that broke out over Helsinki later became a classic example in the history of World War II air combat. Due to the perfect combination of Finnish pilots and Chinese fighter jets, not only did all the invading aircraft be stopped outside Helsinki, but also 10 aircraft were lost by themselves. At the cost of 4 pilots, all 144 Soviet and Russian aircraft that committed future crimes were shot down, and one-third of the Soviet and Russian aircraft were shot down and exploded in the air!

So far, the Finnish President and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mannerheim, issued an order: all troops should be equipped with Chinese equipment; at the same time, reconnaissance troops at all levels must take turns to receive training from Chinese instructors.

Although the winter climate in northern Europe is very cold, this winter is not too cold.Not only is the fight between Soviet Russia and Finland in full swing, but other small European countries are also busy "preparing for war", because no one knows when Germany's iron heels will set foot on their own land.

Germany blitzed Poland and the start of the Soviet-Finnish War made China busy this winter.

This "hustle" was first caused by Germany.For humanitarian or other reasons, when Germany attacked Poland, it urgently ordered a batch of medicines and medical equipment worth 500 million US dollars from China; at the same time, it also ordered a batch of military canned food that can be stored for up to 2 years.

Immediately afterwards, Finland and China signed an order for the amount of days and arms and supplies.

Behind Finland is the order of medicine and food from Soviet Russia.Regarding the orders from the Soviet Union, the senior leaders of the National Defense Forces had disputes. Some people said that since the future strategic goal of the National Defense Forces is Soviet Russia, why should they export materials to them?

Wu Aihua's decision was: medicines, medical equipment, food, textiles, and other industrial products could be exported to Soviet Russia, but raw materials, fuels, arms, and technology were refused.The reason is very simple, the former can make money, but also has a humane color; while the latter's export may fatten the enemy and cause trouble for himself.

If there is a country in the world that is facing subjugation during World War II, Wu Aihua may sympathize with it and extend a helping hand, it must be Germany.As for Soviet Russia or other big powers, if they are really destroyed by Germany, Wu Aihua will not only not save them, but will definitely add insult to injury.

In addition to the suddenly busy export business to Europe, China's import business is also busy.Since 1937, China has ordered a large amount of steel, oil, ore and other materials from the United States, the United Kingdom, South America, Australia and other countries, all of which have reached the "delivery date". These bulk industrial products and raw materials have been continuously shipped to Chinese ports. Then they are transported to their respective destinations by rail and road.

At the same time, China continued to place orders from the world's major exporters, most of which were delivered in 1940-1941.

This is the last chance to make money.Europe has not yet hit hard, although prices have risen, but the increase is very small.Once Germany starts to send troops to Denmark and other Western European countries, prices will definitely skyrocket.

Although in the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", Germany sold Finland to Soviet Russia, but the relationship between Germany and Finland has always been relatively friendly.It's just that Germany cannot openly support Finland because of its own interests.

Wu Aihua extended an olive branch to Finland, which made Hitler very happy, because Wu Aihua did what he wanted to do but could not.For this reason, Hitler asked Ribbentrop not only to congratulate and explain to the Finns, but also to show greater goodwill to Wu Aihua, and even told Wu Aihua that he was going to further solve the problems existing in Europe at some point in 1940.

Also for these reasons, the results of the Finnish reconnaissance battalion trained by Chinese special forces instructors spread to the German command.

"Investigate quickly, is this true?" Hitler was made a little nervous by the huge battle loss ratio.

Although Hitler was a paranoid, he understood very well when he was sober that Germany only had 6600 million people, and if it wanted to challenge Soviet Russia and the whole of Europe, its military strength was not sufficient.This is also the deep-seated reason why Germany adopted the Blitzkrieg.If any kind of battle is fought into a protracted war, it will be very detrimental to Germany.Because Germany's reserves are limited after all.

The battle report is of course clear, and even the military attache of the German embassy in Finland saw the original report (copies).

As a result, Hitler excitedly sent a telegram directly to Wu Aihua, as if he had won a 500 million prize, asking the Chinese special forces instructor to give lessons to his German counterparts.

"Hehe, I knew this day would come." Wu Aihua smiled happily when he received this telegram.

ps: I finally added this chapter, the king feels at ease, hehe.
