Chapter 949: The German Question III
readx; Although the personnel of the Chinese army are not large, the proportion of heavy equipment is the first in the world, even higher than that of the United States, not to mention the Soviet Union and Germany. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 For example, in the Soviet-German Battle of Kursk last year, the German army participated in the battle with nearly two million troops, but only the number of tanks put into battle, at most three or four thousand, and the Soviet army had more but only 6,000.
If it were to be replaced by China to fight and put in the same number of troops, the number of tanks would be at least doubled.
However, although the scale of the Chinese army is huge, it has never fought a battle of such a large scale, and the largest scale fought in the past was only a few hundred thousand people, and there are only a handful of battles in which 300,000 troops have been invested, and there has not been a single battle in which more than 500,000 troops have been invested, let alone those battles that have invested millions of troops.
Although the United States and Britain have fought with Germany and Ben for so many years, they have never fought any large-scale tragic battles, basically some small-scale battles, that is, on the Australian side, the US military and Ben have fought several battles with a scale of two or three hundred thousand troops, and North Africa has always been a tug-of-war, and there is no large enough place for the two sides to start a large-scale battle.
After learning that a huge battle broke out on the Soviet-German side with millions of troops, Chen Yi was slightly amazed and envious in his heart, as an army general, how could he not want to command such a large corps to fight against the enemy.
Not to mention that Chen Yi was amazed, everyone else here was also amazed at the super scale and tragedy of the Soviet-German battlefield! Lu Jian, who was also attending the highest strategic meeting for the first time, muttered in his heart that millions of people would be killed and wounded in this battle, and if he came a few more times, he would not have to defeat all the Germans and Soviet Russians.
Seeing that the expressions of the people present had changed slightly, Chen Jingyun thought that his subordinates were frightened by the huge casualties of Su De, and couldn't help but cheer up his subordinates: "They are taking soldiers to fill in in order to exchange for victory, at best, they are just a copy of the saying, this method cannot be learned." Their Germans and Soviet Russians are not worth much, but the lives of our Chinese are very valuable! ”
"What we are looking for is to crush all enemies with a torrent of steel!" Chen Jingyun's words expressed the thoughts of many field marshals present.
Yes, according to China's current policy of building up the army, it is basically impossible to casually mobilize and arm tens of millions of army forces into combat like Soviet Russia, and after three or four million dead and wounded this month, it will not take two months to replenish them, and what the Chinese army pursues is not the quantity of consumption, but the quality.
If it weren't for the pursuit of high quality, the size of the Chinese army could be expanded to more than 20 million casually, and it would be necessary to equip ordinary infantry divisions with a tank battalion, this kind of thing is a huge waste in the eyes of the Soviet Russian and German armies, and there are not enough tanks in the armored divisions, how can it be possible to directly equip the infantry with tanks.
Chen Yi then continued: "On the Eastern Front, the German army has entered a full-scale defensive posture, and according to my prediction, it is estimated that by next year they will completely withdraw from the territory of Soviet Russia, and the area of engagement may extend to Poland and Romania.
In the direction of Africa, the German army is currently on the defensive due to its weak strength, but with the westward shift of the strategic center of gravity of the United States, a large number of US Army units from the Pacific War to the African theater, the defeat of the German army in North Africa is already in sight, and according to our predictions, they are very likely to use the British mainland as a springboard, relying on the superiority of the navy, air force and land force, directly on the west coast of Europe, if the landing is successful, Germany will quickly collapse, There was absolutely no resistance to the Soviet-German and Anglo-American forces from both the east and the west. ”
When Chen Yi said this, he finally said the purpose of today's supreme strategic meeting: "Under such circumstances, where should my country go?" What can be done to ensure that the interests of our country are maximized! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zuo Yugang immediately said: "I propose to immediately increase the strength of aid to Germany, and at the same time send additional troops in the direction of Siberia and Central Asia to force Soviet and Russian troops to return to help and reduce the pressure on Germany!" ”
As soon as Zuo Yugang's words fell, Guan Shijie on the navy side immediately objected: "I don't agree, we have not provided much aid to Germany in the past few years?" In addition to not directly selling them weapons and equipment, the delivery of oil and all kinds of strategic materials is not less than the amount of aid that Soviet Russia received from the United States and from us. And all kinds of advanced military technology are not missing them, radar, VT fuses, and even supercharged turbine technology for aircraft engines, if these assistance were in hand, if it were placed in a normal country, the American bombers would have been driven out of the skies over Europe a long time ago, but now? Although the Germans also shot down a lot of American bombers, the German cities were still bombed! This is clear that the mud can't hold up the wall! According to me, just join forces with the Americans, take the initiative to send troops to Europe to clean up Hitler, and then seize control of parts of Europe. ”
Guan Shijie's words also represent the thoughts of many people, anyway, Germany is bound to lose, and it is the most correct choice to fall into the well at this time, as for morality and the like, what kind of morality do you have in the national interest, that's not nonsense!
At this time, Shen Gang also spoke: "Increasing aid to Germany can be discussed, but there are also problems, once North Africa falls, the British and American coalition forces will be able to completely control the Mediterranean Sea and even land in Italy and the Balkan Peninsula, and then our railway line to Germany will be completely cut off, even if we want to help, we can't help, as for technical assistance, now we have given everything we can give except for jets and nuclear bombs, I can't give much technical assistance until now! ”
"Although it is already difficult to carry out aid to Germany, I still suggest that it should be continued, and at the same time, it can also appropriately increase troops in the direction of Siberia and Central Asia!"
As soon as Shen Gang said this, Zuo Yugang was overjoyed and said, "Could it be that Brother Shen agreed to my proposal?" ”
Unexpectedly, Shen Gang shook his head: "I haven't finished my words yet, the aid to Germany will not last long, and it will be difficult for the Germans in North Africa to hold out until next summer, and it may even fall completely in the next three or four months." And the increase of troops in the direction of Soviet Russia is only superficial, not that it is going to directly attack Soviet Russia! All we have to do is put on a posture and make the Americans and the British and the Soviet Russians think that we are going to fight to the end for Germany and them! ”
Shen Gang continued: "In order to achieve this effect, we can even directly send troops into Iran to completely control Iran militarily, as long as we completely control the Iranian railway network, we can cut off the British and American aid transportation lines to Soviet Russia, and at the same time, we can also start from Iran and put on a posture of entering Turkey, so as to use Turkey as a springboard to enter the Balkan Peninsula region, completely contact with Germany on land, and ensure the smooth flow of the Iran-Turkey railway!" ”
After Shen Gang's words fell, Ma Yinchu on the side frowned and said, "Why are we doing this? "Entering Iran and Turkey is not a trivial matter, and if it is not done well, it will lead to a full-scale war between China and the United States.
Shen Gang said: "Of course, I'm not saying that we have to do this, but that we have to put on such a posture so that Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union think that we will do this!" ”
"As for the purpose, naturally, it is for post-war interests! As long as we put on this posture, what will the Americans think, they must be afraid, if we really do this, the Americans will not cry to death, and then what else can he do but start a full-scale war with us? And do they dare to start a full-scale fight with us? That's definitely not daring! And when the time comes, we can use our own attitude as a bargaining chip to ask for benefits from the Anglo-American-Soviet Union! ”
"Saipan, for example? For example, after the partition of India, read power? Another example is to let countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands recognize the reading power of Malaysia, the Philippines, and the Indonesian archipelago? And the Middle East side is not impossible to expand further, it is not required to go all the way to the Suez Canal, but it is not a big problem to let the British completely withdraw from Iraq. As for Europe, it can also compete for the chassis out of thin air, after the war, Germany will definitely be divided between the United States and the Soviet Union, and then we can also obtain a piece of occupied territory, so as to establish military bases, and completely insert our nails into Europe? ”
Shen Gang's remarks are actually to put it bluntly, China's pretense makes Britain, the United States, and Soviet Russia think that China wants to fight to the end for Germany and them, and then exchange benefits from other regions on the condition of giving up Germany, and what benefits can be obtained depends on the negotiations of diplomats and who is more courageous between China and the United States, if the Americans are so bold that they continue to attack Germany regardless of China's attitude, and even do not hesitate to go to war with China, then China will be passive, whether to fight or not to fight?
But if the United States is frightened, then China can completely exchange huge benefits without a single soldier.
These interests are not only limited to military interests, but also huge post-war economic interests!
And compared with military interests, China now values post-war economic interests even more!
After all, China is now a serious capitalist country, and countless domestic capitalists are looking forward to attacking the global market after the war, plundering raw materials on a global scale and selling industrial products made in China to every corner of the world!
To tell the truth, if Chen Jingyun wants to start a full-scale war with the United States, those capitalists in China will be the first to disagree, what are you kidding, the world's first and second largest economies are at war with each other, how do you let those businessmen make money!
