After determining the logical order of priority development of the Air Force's defensive equipment, clear instructions were also given for the fighters: to walk on two legs, one is to continue to work hard in the field of piston machines, using the R-1800 provided by the United States and the British Merlin engine to imitate; The other is to prepare to start the construction of the jet and try to achieve the first test flight of the jet fighter using the Russian version of the Haviland engine - the date is set for 1947. Among the existing equipment, the La-7 and La-9 are the main fighters, and the Yak-9 is recommended to be retained because of its large range and great role in escort operations, and as for other models, it is not hesitated to cut them.

At the time of aiding the Soviet Union, the United States only stingily provided P-39/P-38/P-63 and other garbage that it did not want at home, but now that the Axis is pressing, East Russia, as a major country that still has some strength and contradictions with Japan and Germany, also shows signs of policy change from the perspective of the Soviet Union's current implementation of the "New Economic Policy", plus Stalin's father supports the United States in other aspects and expresses the desire to "huddle together for warmth". As a result, the United States gave up the ideological confrontation that had always existed, and generously stuffed the American P-51, P-47, F4U, and British Spitfire into the Soviet Union.

It is said that if the intellectual property rights of American companies are to be copied in the future, they will have to pay money - independent absorption and digestion are not counted, and the price will be calculated after the war (in fact, it is a hint that the account can be relied upon), and the Soviet Union is of course extremely grateful for this. Now that the caliber of internal propaganda has quietly changed, capitalism is no longer an enemy of the Bolsheviks, but a wary of the National Socialist lackeys around us, Vlasov and Western Russia. He even said that in the future, a free trade zone and a special economic zone could be set aside in the Far East for Americans to invest in factories and develop land, forests, oil, fisheries, and other mineral resources

As for the MiG company, due to the fact that the main fighters produced by the MiG-3 and MiG-5 units had a very average response and average actual combat performance, it was decided to stop all production, but because of Mikoyan - the brother of Mikoyan, the chief designer of the MiG company, was a member of the Politburo Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, so it was impossible for Voroshilov not to sell face at all, so he hoped that the MiG Design Bureau would be transformed, and it happened that Mikoyan himself was very interested in jets, As a result, the MiG company was instructed to become the organizer of the new generation of MiG jets.

Among the attack aircraft, the Il-2, which can attack on the ground, is still the center of gravity, but the order of other heavy bombers is in the back row, such as the Tu-4 bomber that imitates the B-29 was originally very valued by Stalin, but because of the actual situation in East Russia now, he was also forced to give up, only instructed to imitate and test, but was not ready to be put into mass production, and even this compression also affected the production of medium bombers such as Tu-2 and SB-2, and the number of their equipment was compressed to a very low level, but the transport aircraft because of the current thriving trade, There is a lot of equipment necessary.

The worst of the three branches of the new military restructuring is the navy – weakened to the point where it is almost impossible to see.

Stalin always had a love affair with giant ships and cannons, as well as an urgent desire to build aircraft carriers, and a large number of construction plans were drawn up, as well as such grand goals as Soviet-class battleships, all of which have now come to naught. Even Stalin himself admitted that the continued development of the Great Navy in the existing situation exceeded the limits of Soviet power.

At the Politburo meeting, the construction of all warships of more than 1,000 tons in the navy was cut, and except for theoretical research, which could be continued, the focus of the rest of the construction shifted to air, submarine, and fast -- especially submarines and speedboats, and the Politburo believed that it was necessary to develop vigorously.

Of course, the reason is very pertinent -- a decisive battle with such a behemoth as the Japanese Combined Fleet cannot even be done by the United States, let alone East Russia, but the development of submarines and speedboats (torpedo boats) can give the Japanese army the necessary casualties and will not arouse the vigilance of the opponent, and judging from Germany's combat practice, submarines and speedboats (S-boats) have played a great role and value in operations, and of course they must be taken seriously.

Another constraint on the development of the navy is the material factor, the steel, boilers, and engines involved in the construction of naval ships are all materials urgently needed by other industrial fronts, and investing in other fields is better in the short term than investing in the navy.

In this way, the Soviet Navy has regressed from the dream of a "blue-water navy" to a "yellow-water navy" and may even become a garrison navy, and in the face of the gloomy expression of Deputy Chief of the General Staff Kuznetsov (in charge of the navy), Stalin patted him on the shoulder: "Cheer up, the Soviets built a fleet from scratch, and in the future we can also build a powerful navy!" Believe me, this day will not be far away, and if I can't do it, other comrades will definitely do it! The Soviets could not have been without a strong navy forever! ”

In order to maintain the capacity to build large ships, a plan to build a 16,000-ton freighter based on the American Liberty Ship was finally approved to meet trade requests to the Far East, and a fleet of 1,500-ton fishing vessels were also planned to be built to fish in distant-water fishing grounds to provide the population with much-needed meat and protein supplies.

After the military plan is determined, the national economic plan is determined.

The situation in East Russia is not the same as it was during the civil war, and although the threat of war is great, it is more urgent to meet the basic living needs of the population of 30 million, and Kuznesensky, the new member of the Politburo and head of the State Planning Commission, has proposed a comprehensive package - no longer prioritizing the development of heavy industry, but focusing on balance.

The so-called balance, one refers to the balance of industry and agriculture, the second refers to the balance of light and heavy industry, and the third refers to the balance of the arms industry and civilian industry in heavy industry, he believes that the overriding task at present is to meet the survival problem of 30 million people, solve the shackles of grain imports to ensure independence, so agricultural machinery production, fertilizer production and other industrial products are placed in a priority position; He hoped that by the end of 1946, the housing problem of the migrant population would be basically solved, and by the end of 1948 the community construction of all new workers' districts would be completed, which required the development of the building materials industry and the household goods industry.

The Politburo was very divided on this point, and Stalin himself did not agree with it at first, but Kuznesensky had a private exchange of views with him beforehand - arguing that the party had suffered a setback in leading the war and that there was no way to turn defeat into victory for the time being, and that in order to regain the support of the people, it was necessary to work on changing people's lives, and then talk about anything else.

What he said was very explicit: "Assuming that the people are recklessly reckless in developing armaments, it is difficult to say whether the people will follow the party once the Vlasov gang fights......

This reminder made Stalin break out in a cold sweat at that time, and also made several Politburo members sweat: the words are true, but no matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of "political incorrectness" in saying such things.

After his patient persuasion and explanation, the Politburo finally basically approved the idea of "comprehensive balance" and intended to formulate a "three-year plan" for the recovery of the national economy to begin to complete it, and made it clear that the Economic Recovery Committee led by Kuznesensky himself would be responsible for the overall planning and completion of the work - Voroshilov was only responsible for the work in the field of armaments.

As for the introduction of US capital to develop the construction of special zones, the development of trade and industrial exports to China is also an important part of the Kuznesensky package.

It is a pity that Kuznesensky, who vigorously promoted this program, paid a heavy price for it, because after the national economy of East Russia has been restored with great difficulty, there will be one criticism after another waiting for him - who will he deduct if he does not detain the hat of "pessimism", "vacillation", and "compromise"?

At the end of the meeting, Molotov quietly sent a message: ...... Hitler, who was going to pay a state visit to Britain the day after tomorrow, spoke yesterday about the prisoners and labour of our country while inspecting the state farms in East Prussia.

"What did he say?"

"As soon as Stalin completes his disarmament and fulfills his treaty obligations in accordance with the regulations, the officers and men of the Red Army who were captured by our country during the war will be released one after another, and ordinary officers and soldiers who have not committed war crimes will be released on a priority basis, and we respect everyone's choice: they can go to East Russia under Bolshevik rule, they can go to Menshevik West Russia, they can choose to go to Poland, or they can choose to go to German East and West Africa, and they can continue to stay on the Prussian state farms - the last item depends on the individual's voluntary application and the approval of the local farms, I don't think it's going to be a lot, maybe 20-300,000 people......"

"We have to find a way to get more people back, and of course further reducing the size of the army is a top priority." Stalin thought for a moment and said, "The number of the Red Army will be reduced to 2 million according to the regulations, and another 500,000 internal affairs troops and Red Guards will be retained, and all grassroots regimes will use all levels to organize self-defense units, pickets, and militia organizations that are not separated from production!" ”
