Chapter 985 Airplanes and Tanks?
985 Stalin had no better way at this point, and if he could not get outside aid, his troops might not be able to stop the German troops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Previously, many people proposed that Stalin would agree and ask the Chinese troops for help, but Stalin resolutely denied it and did not agree.
At this time, the only thing he can think of now is China, if the United States wants to ask them for help, it is not impossible, but now, the United States is simply unable to help them with the Soviet Union, and now the army of the United States cannot even defeat the Japanese army, how can they defeat the German troops.
The only big country that could help the Soviet Union was China, and there was a big rift in the relationship between China and the Soviet Union because of the Mongolian affair, and now the Soviet Union wants to repair this relationship, but it is not so simple, which is why Stalin has never wanted to ask China for help.
He hoped that Mongolia would become independent, so that the border between the two countries would not be so long, and then the Chinese troops would not be able to fully threaten them with the Soviet Union, but now, he had to ask China for help.
"China's planes and tanks are indeed very powerful, and we don't know how they compare with the German ones, but compared with the Japanese ones, there is no problem with Chinese weapons, especially their rifles, which can be said to be the best rifles in the world.
Now the United States is purchasing a large number of Chinese rifles, aircraft and tanks, we don't know! A field marshal looked at Stalin and said.
"In other words, we don't know at all now, can we help the Soviet Union by asking for China's help?" Stalin looked at the marshal and said.
"Yes, but we can procure their weapons and ammunition, Commander, now our arsenals near Europe have been largely destroyed by the German Air Force, and our industry has been almost destroyed.
And those factories in the Far East, which are not ready for mass production right away, are still debugging machines, so now we in the USSR urgently need a lot of weapons and ammunition, no matter what kind of weapon, as long as it is a weapon, we need it. The marshal said again.
"Damn, we're going to have to wait for news from China now!" Stalin spoke.
He was also worried that if the Chinese side did not help, the Soviet Union would really be in trouble at that time, and Bogomolov, who was in Yan'an, also received a telegram from the Soviet Union at this time, asking him to go to Commander Mao immediately and ask for their help, and Stalin would personally send a telegram to Commander Mao.
"Now? Telegraphed with Commander Mao, how could it be possible, Commander Mao went to Xi'an! Bogomolov heard it and said a little depressed.
Not to mention, if it was last night, he might still be able to see Commander Mao, but at this time in Yan'an, where did he go to find Commander Mao, and it is not realistic to go to Xi'an now, he must wait until after dawn before he can take a plane to Xi'an.
So, Bogomolov sent a telegram back to the Soviet Union, telling them that Commander Mao was not in Yan'an now, asking if it was okay to find their commander-in-chief or deputy commander-in-chief, and if he could, he would act immediately.
Soon, Stalin received a telegram from his side, agreeing that he should go to the deputy commander and commander-in-chief first, and at this time the deputy commander Zhou was now busy in the office, although it was not early, but now there are many things in Yan'an, except for the affairs of the troops, the rest of the things are all his business.
Now many places here have just driven out the Japanese invaders, and they need to resume production, and it takes money to resume production, although the sale of weapons now can bring a steady stream of economic support to Yan'an, but compared to the whole country, it is still not enough.
"Deputy commander, it's time to rest, it's already past 9 o'clock, you have to wash up when you go back, tomorrow, the resistance organization on the Indian side wants to see you, and some countries in the Middle East also want to see you, tomorrow you may have to meet foreign guests every day." The deputy commander-in-chief's secretary came to his side and reminded him.
"Wait a minute, you send this to the Northeast Working Group, this is the important work they will carry out next, be sure to prepare the seeds before the beginning of spring, so that the people can resume production!" The deputy commander took out a document and handed it to his secretary, without raising his head.
At this time, he was still reviewing the next document, which was about the establishment of the Executive Yuan at all levels in Northeast China, and now the working group was still in charge there, and the Executive Yuan had not yet been established, and if the Executive Yuan was not established, then there would be no way to carry out the work there.
The deputy commander took the document and looked at it carefully, and when he saw that there was something wrong or needed to be revised, the deputy commander would take a pen and revise it on it, and after reading it, he would give instructions below and then hand it over to the secretary to do.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the Soviet ambassador urgently asks for a meeting." A secretary came over and said to the deputy commander.
"Why are you here to see me at this time?" The life secretary next to him is not happy, the time is not early, and the deputy commander should rest.
"It's okay, let him come over, I guess there may be trouble on the Soviet side, it's still early, it's less than 10 o'clock, I'll definitely go to rest at 11 o'clock, okay?" The deputy commander said to the life secretary, who could only nod helplessly.
Soon, Bogomolov, led by the staff, went to the conference room next to the deputy commander-in-chief's office.
After a while, the deputy commander arrived in the conference room, and at this time, Bogomolov, with a few staff members from his side, stood there and watched the deputy commander come in, and immediately stood up.
"Hello Dear Deputy Commander, I'm sorry to come here to disturb you so late!" Bogomolov said respectfully to the deputy commander-in-chief.
When the deputy commander saw him like this, he knew that things were in trouble, and the Soviet Union must have asked for help from China, otherwise Bogomolov would not be so respectful, he used to be very arrogant and looked down on the people in Yan'an, and now he can do this, which can only show that the Soviet Union's defense of Germany may be about to be unstoppable.
"Yes, please be seated!" The deputy commander invited him to sit down, and he himself sat down on the main seat, with an interpreter sitting next to him.
"That's right, our commander wants to talk directly with your side, negotiate by telegram, we just sent a telegram over, I think our commander will send a telegram later." After Bogomolov sat down, he said to the deputy commander-in-chief.
"Well, what is it, I have to know in advance, have a mental preparation, right?" The deputy commander said with a smile.
"This..., that's the case, we may have to buy a batch of weapons from you China, our Soviet industry was basically destroyed by the German Air Force, and now there are still some industries in the Far East, which are quite safe.
But it can no longer meet the military needs of our Soviet Union, and now we have to block the German attack, and we can only hope that you China can help! Bogomolov thought for a moment, and then spoke to the deputy commander-in-chief.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Soviet man next to him took a piece of paper and handed it to Bogomolov.
Bogomolov saw that the telegram was sent by Stalin, quickly swept it, and then said to the deputy commander-in-chief: "We, Stalin, have our greetings to you.
At the same time, our commander-in-chief said that he hopes to be able to purchase 200,000 new types of ammunition from you, as well as 500 million rounds of 7.62 caliber bullets, as well as 1,000 planes and 1,000 Type 40 tanks, and I hope you can deliver them to us as soon as possible.
In terms of price, we pay according to the price of the United States, however, now we may not have so much money, but we still pay you half in advance, and the rest of the money, we will pay it back in the Soviet Union, and it will be paid back in three years! Bogomolov looked at the telegram and said to the deputy commander-in-chief.
"Oh, tanks? Plane? The deputy commander heard this, nodded, but asked anyway.
"Yes, tanks and planes, and rifles and ammunition!" Bogmolov nodded and said.
"There is no problem with the rifle, but there may be a problem with the tank and the plane, come and see if the commander-in-chief is resting, if not, please come over and tell him about this side!" The deputy commander hesitated for a moment, and then said to the secretary beside him.
The deputy commander-in-chief does not dare to do this now, because there is a large number of weapons in need of the country, especially planes and tanks, and now the commander-in-chief is preparing to equip a large number of planes and tanks, in the hope of being able to block a possible German attack on China.
"Yes!" A secretary heard it and immediately went out.
"Don't you China have enough planes and tanks?" Bogomolov asked as he looked at the deputy commander in surprise.
"Yes, in order to help the United States stabilize the war situation, we did not equip enough planes and tanks, and now because of your Soviet affairs, we must be ready now, so many of our planes and tanks must be equipped with our own troops first!" The deputy commander nodded and said.
"This, deputy commander-in-chief, we urgently need China's weapons and equipment now, and I think that it will be helpful for us in the Soviet Union to block the German troops over there." Bogomolov thought for a moment and spoke.
"I know this, but we are not afraid of Germany, Germany is going to attack our China, the supply line is so long, and our Chinese troops are not the troops of a few years ago.
It's impossible to defeat us so easily now, but, what is the specific situation, when our commander-in-chief comes over, we have to listen to him, he is responsible for the distribution of weapons and equipment for the entire army! The deputy commander said with a smile.
Bogomolov's words, in the eyes of the deputy commander-in-chief, are no different from diplomatic rhetoric, and it is too difficult for the deputy commander-in-chief to deal with such a thing, and Bogomolov wants to threaten China, but the deputy commander-in-chief does not care at all.
