Chapter 1230: The Second Cooperation between China and Russia
ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "Huaxia Sea Power", listen to more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the official account (add friends on WeChat - add the official account - enter qdread), and tell me quietly! "You know what? I've been thinking about a question lately that keeps me up at night! In the future, if a large-scale land war breaks out between the two sides, how can the problem of millions of casualties be reduced as much as possible? Well, to be more precise, it is how to reduce the casualties of the Chinese troops. Xu Jie said.
"Is that why you're pulling allies around? It was not enough to pull the Americans and the British, and now they want to pull the Russians back? You're so busy. Let's not talk about whether the Russians will cooperate with you, depending on the quality and equipment level of the current Russian team, I don't think there is anything to look forward to. In terms of the quantity and quality of automatic weapons and artillery, they are inferior to Denikin's department, which fought with us in those years, and on tanks and aircraft? It's more like a decoration. If they do, we'll have equipment for them. Peng Yi took a sip of coffee and said unceremoniously.
"But it must be admitted that the quality and patience of the Russian soldiers were truly remarkable, and their resilience, at least among the European countries, was absolutely first-rate. As long as there is a good commander and equipment. Those Russian veterans who had fought in World War I were definitely much better than most fledgling novices, and a few streets better than the Iranian army. What's more, we don't need Russia to openly side with us now, we just need to continue the Iran war to cultivate a batch of seeds for the future Russian army. Xu Jie didn't mind Peng Yi's dissatisfaction at all and continued.
"Aren't you afraid that one day they will stand with the Germans?" Peng Yi raised his eyebrows.
"No ambitious, aspiring Russian would ally with the Germans, because there is no future with Germany. We can make Russia a regional power, and the Germans can't give that condition, and more importantly, the ultimate winner can only be us. From the industrial and demographic advantages of China and the United States. The Russians should understand who has a better chance of winning. Xu Jie said confidently.
"Well, you're the boss, you have the final say. But I want the people below to be cautious. Don't cause trouble for our Russian friends. Peng Yi said.
"No problem, I've already chosen a place for personnel training and equipment receiving. It's up to you to keep the work confidential, I gave the job to you, and it's your business if you can't do it well. Xu Jie said.
In order to make as many allies as possible, especially after concluding that France was likely to fight the streets as in history in the next 2 wars, Xu Jie finally hit the Russians with his idea. The Russians are very unsatisfactory, and they hate Germany more than they hate China, so it is very suitable for China to start in this situation. As early as a few years ago, the intelligence services in China had already established ties with some high-level officials within Russia. And after years of preparation and planning, a crucial step finally came to rebuild the second Dönitz Guards.
To say that Xu Jie is definitely a person with clear grievances, he can get a dead hand when he is a person, but he can also do his best when he helps others. In the Iran War, China did not lack tens of thousands of Russian officers and soldiers, but took this opportunity to retrain a Russian army that was more capable of fighting. In the Second Sino-Russian War, the gap between Russia and Britain, Germany, France and other countries was not large, but after the war, with the installation of various high-value and high-tech weapons such as machine guns, heavy artillery, and motor vehicles, the Russian Army was quickly thrown away because of the problem of national strength. Although Dönitz's Guards were armed to the teeth. However, the number of this force was still too small, and some tactical victories could not change the entire situation of the battle. In the end, it disappeared in the long river of history like a meteor. The scale of the land battlefield in World War II will undoubtedly be larger, and individual elite units cannot cover up the problem of a large number of low-combat units. So Xu Jie needs to start building a Russian army again. Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Huaxia will make arrangements in many aspects such as equipment, internal management, intelligence and funds. …
After discussions between China and Russia, it was decided that the first batch of troops to be called up would be mainly veterans or officers who had participated in World War I and the Civil War. In principle, those who have been on the battlefield can be selected, and those who have a kill record are even better! At least these people don't have to start training as recruits. It saves time, the combat effectiveness is relatively high, well, there is another advantage, that is, the probability of survival will be greater. These soldiers would enter China for assignment or other reasons, and they would then be placed in a primary training camp in South Asia. At the beginning, it was mainly about exposure to China's existing weapons and technical training. It will then be assigned to Central Asia and Iran to familiarize themselves with the operational environment. Subsequently, these scattered personnel will be gathered. Part of the personnel was inserted into the various units in China, while the rest were formed into specialized Russian units.
The training process for officers is a bit more complicated. First of all, they will be audited to see if there are any pro-German people or other bad records, and then they will enter the military academy in China to study, and some of them will be trained as special technical staff officers. The technical level of the Russian Army has always been low, especially after nearly 10 years of discontinuity, and it has very little understanding of emerging military fields such as armored forces, air force, communications, radar, and electronics. And the Russians want to create an independent army, these areas are indispensable. Moreover, it is impossible for China to equip the Russians with these arms and technicians like nannies in future wars. In this era, being cannon fodder is all about quality, and the Russian army, which is about to collapse, is worthless. The other part is trained as a command staff. They will be the core of the future Russian official corps, and they will also be an important means for China to control the new Russian army. As a traverser, Xu Jie will naturally look for those famous generals in history according to his own memory.
Some might say what if Germany notices this? In fact, at least in the current period, even if you notice it, there will not be much of a problem, the reason is very simple: first, the size of the army is not very large, that is, more than 10,000 to 20,000 Russian officers and soldiers will be trained, and the actual number of troops participating in the war will be even less. Because of the expansion of the territory of China, there are many ethnic Russians of Chinese nationality in China. It is normal to find officers and soldiers of the Russian nationality in the Chinese army. And let's not forget that Denikin's troops settled in China after their disarmament and return to the field, and the Germans could not blame the current Russian government for this reason. As for blaming Huaxia? The battle has started, what is the mouth cannon? Who cares about you?
The second reason is that Germany does not have the heart to deal with such things at present, on the one hand, there are more important things involved, and on the other hand, Germany thinks that it has made Russia weak enough. Even being an enemy is not much of a threat. Because in the eyes of the Germans. The Russian Army now has insurmountable obstacles in almost all areas of industry, personnel training and recruitment. Think about it again, when Russia was at its peak, wasn't Russia, known as the European steamroller, still knocked to the ground by Germany with one hand? So the Germans were very confident in the face of the Russians, according to the jokes of the Germans. If Russia were on the side of the Chinese, the Germans would be able to clean up the other side with 5 divisions. And if Russia is on the side of Germany, Germany needs to protect it with 10 divisions. If China were to support Russia, it would be nothing more than a waste of resources in the eyes of the Germans.
Cooperation between China and Russia had gone smoothly in the early stages, but only a month before the showdown between Trotsky and Blyukher. Huaxia's intelligence agency in Russia received a piece of information that surprised Xu Jie. "The Americans actually came to get involved? That's a great idea! Roosevelt, you know what, your rating in my heart has risen another level. Xu Jie looked at the information and said uncertainly.
Therefore, taking one step to see one step is the material, taking one step to see two steps is talent, and taking one step to see three steps is genius. And genius is to be hated! Especially after offending Xu Jie, a cautious person who can do it. It's not normal not to retaliate. Of course, now that China and the United States are still allies, they must not do anything on the surface, but it is difficult to say on the dark side. For example, in history, when the British-backed Polish government-in-exile launched the Warsaw Uprising, the Soviet Red Army stood still outside Warsaw and watched the Germans exterminate the rebel officers and soldiers in Warsaw. The general trend is for everyone to cooperate and work in harmony. But it's okay to do a little bit of the following. …
But then, Xu Jie found that Roosevelt was not as powerful as he imagined, or that he didn't make any big moves because of the constraints. At least in the army there is little action. Americans prefer to go the high-level route, hoping to find proxies through funding and political manipulation. Although, from the current point of view, the actions of the United States are not harmful to China. There is even room for cooperation to some extent. But Xu Jie already vaguely felt that Roosevelt had begun to lay out the post-war political layout! The relationship between the United States and Britain was already a steel alliance, and now it wants to win over Russia, and this trend cannot but attract the attention of China. As for France? Historically. After the end of World War II, France went on for decades with the pride and persistence characteristic of the French. Although there will be tendencies, they are not completely dependent on the United States. As for Italy? It was Huaxia's own land. As long as China and the Entente could win, Italy's political leanings would be fine.
"Let's take a look and don't take action." Xu Jie finally decided to put this matter aside, and the impact of the current actions of the Americans can be described as minimal. Xu Jie doesn't have that much spare time to pay attention to the petty theft of Americans.
At this time, the first batch of Russian officers and soldiers who went to China had entered China through various channels and were arranged in their respective camps. Although there is a big gap between its combat ideas and Huaxia. However, its tactical and strategic thinking still has a certain reference value.
