Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1272 Press Conference
Pu Yin fell into deep thought. Stalin's move changed from passive to active. Not only did he play it very viciously, but he also played it very cleverly, causing the entire Chinese military to become a mess. More importantly, he took a moral advantage instead. , thus shaping the Chinese side into a devil group that does all kinds of evil.Although I wanted to refute it very much, I couldn't think of any way for a while.More importantly, I don't know whether my troops have reached the Istria Reservoir area to destroy it.If it was really his own troops who destroyed it, how should this situation be restored.Even so, Pu Yin suddenly said into the phone: "Marshal, I have never touched the dam here, and I dare to guarantee it with my life and honor!"

As soon as he said these words, the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then Feng Xianghua slowly said: "Since this is the case, I am relieved. I have always been worried that the army's troops did not grasp the situation. Now it seems that there should be no such thing as us." What, now I can completely shift the responsibility to the Air Force!"

"Why push it to the Air Force?" Pu Yin asked suspiciously, because he still hasn't figured out what's going on.

"I've heard that the entire Western countries are now pointing the blame at us, and I personally think that the air force is more likely. So, let the air force bear the blame."

However, Pu Yin did not think that the Air Force could do such an earth-shattering thing.You must know that blowing up a dam is not a simple matter.At least, judging from the dam body of the Istria Reservoir, the base of the Istria Reservoir dam is 38 meters wide and the top is 9 meters wide, all of which are reinforced concrete structures.If the dam is to be blown up from a high altitude, based on the destructive power of the giant bomb to the dam, an average of one ton of explosives exploded underwater can probably blow up the reinforced concrete of the reservoir dam more than 3 meters thick.The specific number of sorties depends on the size of the target.In addition, when an aircraft needs to drop a 10-ton super bomb from an altitude of 1.2 meters, and it must hit the target accurately, the difficulty can be imagined.The first difficulty is how to accurately determine the bomb drop point.If you want to blow it up in one fell swoop, you must put it in the middle of the dam.If aviation torpedoes are used to attack, there are many other factors. First of all, the charge of torpedoes is mostly between 200 and 300 kg, which is far less powerful than heavy bombs. Although torpedoes can blow through the armor of battleships, if you want to directly It is still very difficult to penetrate the dam of the reservoir, and the terrain also makes it difficult for the air force to succeed.The second difficulty is how to confirm the altitude of the aircraft.Pilots must fly horizontally at a height of 18 meters above the lake, neither too high nor too low.

Judging from the history of the world that Pu Yin understands.There are some cases of bombing dams, but not many. In his memory, it seems that only the United Kingdom and the United States have done such things.First, during World War II, the British Air Force blew up three dams in the Ruhr area of ​​Germany.At that time, in order to blow up the dam, the British military specially designed a special giant aerial bomb.The bomb is 1.6 meters high, 1.27 meters in diameter, shaped like a barrel, and contains 3 tons of RDX explosives, with a total weight of 8.325 tons. It is a jumping bomb.If the bomb is dropped from a low altitude, it can spin at 500 revolutions per minute while leaping across the water, avoiding lightning protection nets.With this kind of bomb, sticking to the dam and detonating it in water 9 meters deep from the water surface, the dam can be completely destroyed.

In order to blow up the dam accurately, the British army successfully solved the latter two technical difficulties.The first is how to accurately determine the bomb drop point.For this, the British solution is that they learned from the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane that there is a surveillance tower every 180 meters on both sides of the reservoir dam, equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns.The British army decided to use surveillance towers to solve the bomb drop problem.The pilot uses an isosceles triangular plate, punches an observation hole at the top, nails a nail at both ends of the bottom edge to make a simple sight, and drops the bomb immediately when he observes that the nail overlaps with the monitoring tower to form a straight line. In this way, The problem of accurately determining the drop point of the bomb is solved.The second difficulty is how to confirm the altitude of the aircraft.Lieutenant Colonel Gibson of the British Army came up with a way to install two spotlights on the nose and belly of the aircraft. Through calculations, adjust the angle so that when they intersect, the vertical distance from the fuselage to the focus of the light is exactly 18 meters, which solves the problem. question.

Pu Yin said: "Mr. Feng, I think, not only should we not shift the responsibility to the Air Force, but on the contrary, we need to help the Air Force speak well."

"Oh? Why?" Feng Xianghua felt very strange, and asked back: "Do you think the Air Force didn't blow up that dam?"

"I don't think the Air Force bombed that dam at all, and they don't have the ability." Speaking of this, Pu Yin told the other party some of the conclusions he had just thought about with reservations.

Feng Xianghua fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said, "You mean, we don't want to make trouble for the Air Force right now?"

"The final outcome of the whole battle has not yet been determined. At this time, neither the Air Force nor the Army can rashly take the blame."

"You mean we won't say anything?" Feng Xianghua continued to ask.

"Sometimes, what should be said still has to be said. I think that at this time, the spirit of intimacy between the Army and the Air Force should be reflected. So I personally think that we should help the Air Force to tide over this difficulty?"

"You mean we're here to clarify the truth of the matter?"

"more or less!"

"What kind of clarification method? You must know that the place where the accident happened is under the control of the Soviets, and they can create perjury evidence as they want. What's more, the international public opinion is all against them."

"It's actually very simple. Sometimes you make things too complicated. We only need to do one thing, which is to attack, because our emperor once said that a lie told ten thousand times is the truth, and time It is the last weapon to curb lies, so we don’t need to care about what is a lie, so what is the truth, as long as we can change everything here. At that time, the media of all countries in the world will not say anything. Even if they say, in their strength If it is not achieved, I will not talk nonsense rashly. After all, the whole world is built on the basis of strength. Therefore, I think what we need now is to attack, continue to attack violently, and hit the opponent's capital all the way! "

Just after the Soviet foreign ministry and the media at home and abroad unanimously condemned the Chinese for doing such a dehumanizing thing, their army did not sit idle.Zhukov took advantage of the opportunity when the forward troops of the Dragon Army stopped, and began to mobilize the troops desperately.He scavenged his few troops from Eastern Europe, and then loaded them all on trains and transported them to the front line.At the same time, those factories that had just been relocated to the Far East also began to desperately produce weapons, equipment and ammunition to meet the needs of the front line.

At the same time as these mobilizations were being made, the Soviet propaganda machine was also at full capacity to publicize the atrocities of the Dragon Army.The Russian news agency TASS has been publicizing the atrocities carried out by the Dragon Army on Russian soil in a high-profile manner for several days, mainly including the inhumane examples of hanging innocent people and shooting prisoners of war in the occupied areas. On May 5, Stalin suddenly announced posthumously conferring the title of Hero of the United Nations on an 16-year-old girl named Zoya Kasmodemyanskaya.At the same time, TASS also published a photo of the girl being hanged, and announced her deeds in a high-profile manner.

The little girl was unfortunately arrested by the enemy at the end of last year when she burned the stables of the Dragon Army in the village of Petrischevo, which is one kilometer west of her. After that, she was brutally flogged.Although she was tortured, she refused to reveal any secrets.At the age of 18, she shouted to the Chinese soldiers and the local onlookers: "You can hang me, I am not alone, we have [-] million people, and they will avenge me! Soldiers of the Dragon Army, take advantage of this! It is not too late, surrender quickly, victory is ours!" She said to the villagers: "Farewell, comrades! Don't be afraid, it is a supreme happiness to fight with them and die for your people!"

In the face of the aggressive Soviet propaganda and the uproarious photo offensive, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry also seemed very depressed.At a routine press conference, when a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked about this matter by reporters, he replied very depressed: "I am not very clear about the whole situation, but one thing I know is that , the little girl was executed for espionage in a non-combat zone in civilian clothing. Our army did not violate the International Convention (as stipulated in the Geneva Conventions. Legal belligerents include the armed forces of both sides Members of the irregular army, civilian army, and guerrillas are protected. Spies and mercenaries do not have the status of legal belligerents. If they are captured, they do not enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, but if they are sentenced, they must go through a court-martial What’s worse, I didn’t know that person was a little girl. I really didn’t expect that the Soviets would use an 18-year-old girl as a tool of war. This country is really terrible!”

However, the spokesperson's words did not satisfy the majority of the media. They began to search for other voices in China. Some reporters even went directly to the headquarters of the Central Army Group to ask Li Zongren and Pu Yin, who was commanding the battle on the front line, about this issue.

Facing the swarming reporters, Pu Yin replied with a smile: "I think everyone is asking me whether the matter is true or not. To me, it doesn't matter whether the little girl is a spy or not. Did we kill her?" It is not important, because the thing has already happened, and people have died. Now I think the most important thing is how to deal with the aftermath of this thing. This is also the attitude of the empire. Although I personally think that the army under me does not exist The phenomenon of killing innocent people indiscriminately, but this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated. Our army is an army that is world-renowned for its strict discipline. It is also a civilized and mighty army. Regarding this matter I must investigate thoroughly. No matter who it is, if something goes against the honor of a soldier, I will not tolerate it." After a pause, he continued: "Here, I express my sincere condolences to the little girl who was hanged. Condolences. Although she is our enemy, I still admire her. After all, I am shocked that she can still be so strong in the face of death. Of course, one thing to note is that a certain country is in It’s a great irony to claim that we have done things that violate international law and international conventions, but forget that they themselves have not complied with these conventions. Because they themselves have not joined this convention at all. Isn’t this a great irony!”
