For example, the standard rifles of Italy and Romania - now they have been uniformly replaced with 98K, and it is said that the next step is to gradually change to STG45, which is extremely cheap, and 2 old guns are only equivalent to the official price of a new one.

Another example is the large number of Russian-made and legal-made arms seized by Germany, such as Miss 75, which the Central Army could not have much before the war, and now it is sold like cabbage, and such as the Hatch Kais machine gun, Vickers machine gun, and Maxim machine gun - Japan does not use these things, and they are all open to buy at will.

After Japan and China sent troops to upgrade their tanks and acquiesced in and even encouraged the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to equip tanks on a large scale, they also vigorously launched the sale of anti-tank weapons based on promoting the balance of attack and defense, and sold anti-tank guns and 37mm anti-aircraft guns (called stepping stones in Germany) and other things, but the goods of iron fists and recoilless guns were strictly controlled, and even if there were, Japan bought them first.

Some things are gradually extinct, such as the Chinese's favorite barge gun, Germany has long ceased to be produced, and it is more difficult to find traces on the market, the so-called German original, collector's edition is actually all Spanish copycats, which can only deceive novices who do not know how to do it. The best-selling pistols on the market today are early Ruger and Soviet-made pistols, and if you are lucky, you can find the inscription on the gun of the original owner. Most of the EU pistol business is contracted by the Belgian side, and their Browning pistols and German Walter pistols constitute the mainstream of Axis pistols, and the old pistols are all in the process of being phased out.

There are more Southern pistols on the black market, which are all equipped with guns replaced by Japanese officers, and after seeing Browning, Colt and even Luger pistols, who still looks down on Southern pistols? They all took it out and replaced it. This ethos was so prevalent that the first thing newly transferred officers from China did when they arrived in China was to replace the difficult southern pistols. Later, even the Tokyo base camp knew about this move, and the bigwigs had no choice but to stop the production of pistols in the south, and now the Japanese naval officers are all American Colt pistols, and the army officers have all kinds of tricks, the American Colt, the European Browning, the German Ruger, the Soviet Union, and those who love to play with guns even carry shell guns - although this is a very rare case, it is really a mess.

To paraphrase some people's overview, after 1943 and especially after 1944, the Chinese market not only became a point of sale for all countries, but also became a point of sale for foreign countries -- pistols and rifles were sold by pounds, artillery by tons, and obsolete tanks and armored vehicles by ships.

As for the strictly controlled commodities in the past few years, what seamless steel pipes and anti-inflammatory drugs are more open and controlled, how can anyone check? Now all forces have set up military stations in Shanghai, and the most important purpose is to get back the in-demand goods that appear in the market - this is the key purpose.

Among the specifications set by the heavy industry in East Russia, Voroshilov considered allocating 10% of the 5 million tons of steel next year (some readers pointed out that the estimate of industrial production east of the Urals was too low, and seconded the proposal to raise the output to 5 million tons after consulting information) for the trade of grains (rice, wheat and some soybeans) to Japan - basically at a price of 1:3. In the era when industrial products were expensive and agricultural products were cheap, Japan suffered a little, but Japan undertook all the transportation, provided door-to-door service, and gave Japan a 30% cut if it was not given to Japan, and the final calculation was about the same.

In addition, more than 3.5 million tons of grain will be exchanged for oil and other industrial products, and with these 5 million tons of grain as the base, plus the small farmland around the Baikal agricultural and industrial regions, which have been vigorously reclaimed this year, it is expected that the overall grain balance will remain very weak.

This weak balance was achieved under the extremely strict rationing system of grain, in which each citizen of East Russia was issued food stamps according to his rank, and rations were rationed at a fixed rate - 15 kg per month for ordinary adult male citizens, 14 kg for women, 9 kg for children and teenagers (18 kg for growing middle school students), 2 kg per month for cadre status, and more than 20 kg per month for front-line heavy manual workers, for example, coal mining workers with the highest physical requirements could be rationed 30 kg per month, and the army rations were calculated separately.

According to this strict ration, basically the vast majority of the population can maintain 2,600 calories + 80 grams of protein content per day, which is a critical point that makes people barely starve to death - lower than the food quota provided by the German Toth organization to Jewish laborers, most of the army can guarantee the intake of 3,400-3,500 kcal, and the most difficult grassroots and key departments (such as scientific research units) can guarantee more than 4,000 kcal.

Among the senior cadres of the Central Committee, Comrade Stalin was the first to follow the example, discarding many of the previous luxuries – such as caviar, all the caviar that was now available for export to Shanghai or Moscow (West Moscow was another black market cluster), and the tobacco in that iconic pipe was replaced by crappy bargains. Under his leadership, other members of the Politburo and the Central Committee also tried their best to reduce their own consumption, and even most of the people's commissars did not even sit in cars, but switched to commuting by bicycle - at such a time, even if it was a show, they had to grit their teeth, and the ordinary people must see that the top and the grassroots share weal and woe, otherwise the regime and the party will not be able to maintain for a day.

As for the waste of grain, which has become the first major sin in East Russia, the use of grain to make wine is even more inadmissible - it rises to the level of "destroying the national economy" and "anti-socialism" at every turn and is dealt with. In addition to food, other daily necessities are also subject to comprehensive militarized rationing management. There are cigarette stamps, liquor stamps, cloth stamps for clothes, sugar stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps (edible oil), soap stamps, etc., all of which have a standard grading rationing system, which is strict and precise, and the Ministry of the Interior often conducts spot checks on distribution and use.

Under the comprehensive rationing management system, senior cadres and below (military division level, administrative department level) basically do not get alcohol tickets, even an old revolutionary like Budyonny, who loves to drink, can now only use some fruit wine to enjoy themselves, and the beloved vodka is only rationed one bottle a month - it is still a numbered special product, and the idle people cannot get it at all. The extra bottles were due to the fact that he had gone to Mongolia to "collect grain", and Comrade Stalin or Comrade Molotov had transferred the quota issued to him - and there were no additional invoices.

However, Budyonny has a good point, although he has great power when he "requisitioned grain", he is dedicated to the public, except for sneaking a little alcohol addiction, he has never thought of putting anything in his private pocket, in his words, "What is there to take advantage of the party's advantage?" The party will not treat me badly for a day, without the party, I will be nothing, since I took the party's materials and party card when I robbed my house, I owe the party a ...... for the rest of my life."

This rude loyalty was very much liked by Comrade Stalin, and although Budyonny had fought many defeats, he had always been a "tried and tested proletarian revolutionary, statesman, military strategist, and social activist", and was one of the two of the five generalissimos who have survived to this day (the other is Voroshilov), but Tukhachevsky and Blyukher, who were better and more capable of fighting, were defeated as "careerists, conspirators, German/Japanese agents, bourgeois agents", and now there is no cemetery to be found— Assuming there is a cemetery, it is estimated that the trees are ten meters tall......

This winter, many people died for alcohol - some people secretly drank medical alcohol, some secretly drank alcohol-smelling antifreeze, washing liquid, in short, whatever it looked like wine. In the end, the logistics agency could only mix methanol into it - a little more would be death!

Of course, there were also people who could not stand this strict rationing system and fled, a small number fled to the Japanese-controlled areas, and the vast majority fled to the western Russian-controlled areas, but under the dense surveillance system like a spider's web, most of the escapees eventually turned into deaths and did not flee.

To commemorate this special difficult period, the people of East Russia, who had a great sense of humor, made up many jokes, the most famous of which was: "It was a good time, there was not a single drunkard in the whole country - if Comrade Budyonny was sober!" ”
