readx; It's just that both Chen Jingyun and Roosevelt know that once China and the United States fight, it will almost be the result of losing both, no matter how arrogant Chen Jingyun is, he doesn't feel that he can beat the United States down, and no matter how confident Roosevelt is, he is not sure that he can completely defeat China. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As a result, both China and the United States have exercised great restraint in each other for nearly a year.

Although the United States is very dissatisfied with China's support and even more dissatisfied with China's establishment of military bases in Burma, this dissatisfaction is limited to verbal protests and has no actual actions at all.

As for China, it does not have the courage to completely move its huge army south to fully occupy the South Pacific region, especially after China's attack on the Russian Republic, China's operations in Southeast Asia have almost come to a standstill, and even diplomatically it has taken an aggressive attitude in the past, and began to ease relations with the United States and Britain. ”

In the final analysis, China is to avoid fighting on two fronts, lest it engage with Britain and the United States when attacking the Russian Republic, otherwise if it fights on two fronts, although it will not hurt China's bones, it will also be in a lot of trouble, and there will be an unstable factor on one side.

China has retreated diplomatically, while Russia has accelerated its operations, with tens of thousands of vehicles of various types of the 1st Panzer Corps heading straight for Novosibirsk after crushing the sporadic resistance of the Russian army.

The menacing arrival of the 1st Panzer Corps made the Russians panic, and they hurriedly transferred troops from other directions back to Novosibirsk, but at this time China had launched a large-scale general offensive in the direction of Barnaul and Astana, not to mention the transfer of troops back to Novosibirsk, they themselves could not support it.

In this case, on the 14th of December, the 1st Armored Corps, which broke through the layers of interception by the Russian army, finally arrived in Novosibirsk, and then this mechanized corps, known as the largest mechanized corps in the world, launched an attack on Novosibirsk.

Although the Russian army in Novosibirsk also has seven or eight divisions, but these are only second-line troops, those first-line troops have already been sent to the direction of Barnaul and Astana, these second-line troops can not stop the attack of the first armored corps, when the first armored corps launched a full-scale attack on Novosibirsk, the air force also used a large number of long-range bombers to provide air support.

The 1st Panzer Corps almost used an unstoppable momentum to attack Novosibirsk, which led to the failure of the Russian army's desire to engage in street fighting to resist for a long time, and in less than a week, the 1st Panzer Corps announced that it had conquered Novosibirsk and captured a large number of military and political leaders of the Russian Republic, but several major leaders of the Russian Republic had already fled to Omsk on the eve of the city's destruction.

On December 24th, Christmas in the West, the 1st Armored Corps returned to Barnaul from Novosibirsk to the south, and encircled and annihilated more than 100,000 Russian troops in Barnaul with other units of the Fifth Army.

On December 26, more than 50,000 Russian troops in the Biysk direction suffered heavy losses after failing to break through, and then this Russian army surrendered to the Sixth Army when it ran out of ammunition and food.

On December 28, the Second Army of the Fifth Army captured Astana and continued north along the railway line. At this time, the 1st Panzer Corps and the 10th Army of the Fifth Army were already rushing to Omsk, where there was still the last large-scale resistance of the Russian army.

At this time, the Battle of Barnaul, which lasted more than a month, basically came to an end, and the Chinese Army successively conquered the three large cities of Barnaul, Novosibirsk, and Astana, and annihilated more than 400,000 Russian troops.

When China launched the Battle of Barnaul, the Soviet Russian side was also the most difficult time, and prepared to concentrate the troops on the Eastern Front to counterattack the Russian Defense Forces.

The most difficult time for Soviet Russia was in the first half of October, when the German army arrived on the outskirts of Moscow, and Stalin wanted to turn Moscow into a big battlefield, and even the Winter Palace built fortifications. And on the Eastern Front, the Russian Wehrmacht was also about to cross the Volga, and at that time nothing had changed, and Stalin was expected to hang himself.

However, after China and Soviet Russia reached a secret agreement, China sent troops to the Russian Republic, which suddenly relieved the pressure on Soviet Russia on the Eastern Front, allowing Stalin to transfer part of the Eastern Front to the Western Front, especially Moscow, which was able to block the pace of the German offensive and stop the German army on the outskirts of Moscow.

The most important reason why the German army stopped at the outskirts of Moscow was actually not that Soviet Russia was transferred back to Moscow from the Eastern Front, but because of their own reasons, before the German army attacked Soviet Russia, although the combat preparations were sufficient, but the preparation for the winter operation was still seriously insufficient, the soldiers did not have winter clothes, cars and tanks did not have antifreeze, and because the German army entered the territory of Soviet Russia too deeply, the supply line was too long, and the German army could not maintain so much of the supply of the front line.

In this winter, the German army is the one who is super hard, and among the four armies fighting in Russia, the Soviet, Russian, and Chinese troops have not said that there is a shortage of winter clothing or other winter combat materials, and there will be no situation where they are frozen to death because they did not wear winter clothes, but the German army has countless soldiers with frostbite on the front line, and tanks and other vehicles cannot be started because of the lack of antifreeze.

In the winter of 1941, the T34 tanks of the Russians were also put into service, which made many tanks of the German army fall behind at once, and produced the so-called 'T34 crisis'

By the winter of 1941, the Germans seemed to have run out of good luck!

When the Western Front was initially stabilized, Stalin saw that the Chinese Army had won the Battle of Barnaul and that the Chinese Army was about to cross the Ural Mountains.

After all, the Russians did not want to fight on two fronts, and now it is still very difficult to win against Germany, only to solve the Russian Republic first and then use all forces against Germany, and Stalin did not want the Chinese troops to cross the border line drawn in the Sino-Soviet secret treaty signed between the two countries in October, otherwise the ghost knows how much it will cost to get the Chinese to withdraw from these areas that cross the border.

The Russian Republic faced the attack of China and the Soviet Union, and simply did not hold out for long, and by 1942, it was already close to the collapse of the whole front, and on January 4, 1942, the Chinese Fifth Army captured Omsk, and on the Sixth, the Second Army of the Fifth Army captured Kokshetau. The Fifth Army continued to advance westward, with its 1st Panzer Corps, 10th Corps, and 2nd Corps successfully meeting at Pidlopavlovsk, followed by the capture of Kolkan on the banks of the Tobol River on January 10.

On the other side, Soviet Russia conquered Ufa on December 28 and then recaptured Yekaterinburg, and then in order to take Chelyabinsk and Tyumen before China, Soviet Russia actually galloped all the way, connecting Chelyabinsk and Tyumen at a speed that outsiders could not understand, which surprised Fang Dashan.

In fact, since the attack on Kurgan, the Fifth Army has stopped its advance, because according to the border treaty signed between China and the Soviet Union in October 1941, the boundary between the two sides is in Kurgan, and in order to avoid conflict with Soviet Russia, the State Military Council has ordered the front-line troops not to cross the demarcation line drawn by the two sides unless they have the permission and invitation of the Soviet army.

Now China still needs to maintain a stable military alliance with Soviet Russia, China needs to support Soviet Russia against Germany, it needs Soviet Russia to act as a buffer zone between China and Europe, and China needs time to digest such a large territory as Siberia and the Far East, and at the same time face challenges from Britain and the United States in the Pacific.

For China, the war in the north can be temporarily ended, and the strategic center of gravity has begun to shift to the Pacific and Indian oceans.

In addition, unlike Britain and the United States, which vigorously supported Soviet Russia against Germany, China provided a lot of military assistance to Soviet Russia at its most critical time, and after Soviet Russia survived the most difficult winter of 1941, China reduced its large-scale assistance to Soviet Russia in 1942.

Britain and the United States supported Soviet Russia enough, and if China strengthened Soviet Russia, then Soviet Russia would defeat Germany faster than in history, and this would be extremely unfavorable for China.

In Chen Jingyun's heart, he hoped that this world war would be bigger and longer, and in the end, Germany and Soviet Russia would be able to fight forever, and then let both of them bleed. In fact, Roosevelt had the same idea as Chen Jingyun, although Britain and the United States now support Soviet Russia, but they also have the idea of letting Germany and Soviet Russia finish together, otherwise Britain and the United States would not have shirked Soviet Russia's request for them to launch landing operations on the European continent again and again, even in the winter of 1941, when Soviet Russia was most difficult.

In order to make the war between Germany and Soviet Russia more prolonged, China supported Soviet Russia on the one hand, and on the other hand, it continued to provide Germany with various strategic resources and even various advanced military technologies.

The northern strategy has been decided, and the next thing is the southern front, and the southern front is a more dangerous area than the north, and if one is not done well, it will lead to a major war between China and the United States, so Chen Jingyun needs a confidence, in addition to the huge navy and army, he also needs a very important thing, a thing to ensure that China can be invincible in this big war no matter what--nuclear bomb!

At the beginning of February 1942, Chinese President Chen Jingyun took a special train along the Northwest Railway to Central Asia and Siberia to inspect, and the inspection of Central Asia and Siberia was only superficial, and his main goal was actually to go to the atomic bomb research and development base in the desert area of Northwest China, and prepare to watch the first nuclear bomb explosion test!

After more than 20 years of research and development, countless resources and resources have been spent, and hundreds of thousands of technicians have been brought together, the nuclear bomb project is finally about to bear fruit!
