Chapter 721 The way of the other, the body of the other

"The Chinese have crossed the Ural Mountains!" Stalin sat in an underground bunker and watched the news with some distraction.

Bombs and shells often fall from the Kremlin above, forcing him to be careful and move his office underground.

However, this underground palace, which was built from the Tsarist period, is very spacious and extremely ornately decorated. Stalin occupied a large room alone, and apart from the fact that he could not push the window to see the sunlight, it was not much different from his former office.

The news that the Chinese had conquered Perm and other places had already come a few days ago, which shocked the Soviet Russian army, which was struggling to resist the footsteps of the German army. Stalin even accidentally smashed one of his emerald pipes.

Although the Russians and the Germans were in a stalemate in Moscow, the footprints of the German boots were moving towards the core area of the Red Palace of Soviet Russia little by little. The Anglo-American promise to open a second battlefield was long gone, and the vanguard of the German ** team had already begun to bypass the city of Moscow and explore to the east. If it weren't for the help of the cold winter, I'm afraid the German tanks would have traveled farther.

It was not for reason that Stalin was not worried about next year's war.

The Chinese occupied Siberia, making it impossible for American aid to arrive through the Far East, and the ports and passages in the Atlantic Ocean were blocked by Germany, and the little aid that came by air over the Arctic Ocean alone was not enough for the Russians to consume, and the Germans also began to consciously send planes to patrol the Arctic Ocean to harass and intercept.

The existing production forces in Soviet Russia did not meet the requirements in terms of quantity and quality. All this made Stalin worry about the development of the war. The Americans were definitely going to get involved, but they had to wait until they arrived, and when the Russian army could not stop the German tanks, the strategy of exchanging space for time and waiting for the dawn of victory became the last step on Stalin's mind.

In his plan, if Moscow falls, another city will be needed to serve as the provisional capital.

The city of Gorky is still too close to Moscow, and the city of Kuibyshev is too close to the Chinese vanguard army that has reached the banks of the Ural River.

On the other hand, Kazan has both the natural danger of the Ural Mountains and the moat of the Kama River, a tributary of the Volga River, and Stalin thought that the Chinese would not cross the Urals, so he gradually moved his political center to the city of Kazan.

In later generations, Kazan relied on the famous Kazan State University, and the Kazan Kremlin, which was only a little smaller than the red palace in Moscow, and Moscow and St. Petersburg were listed as the three A-level historical and cultural cities in Russia, and they were also very important cities, and at this time there were also many large national enterprises.

At Stalin's behest, many government agencies began to settle down again, and even the Klim Palace in Kazan was hung with a red star, and the status of the temporary capital was initially established, just waiting for Stalin to move there.

But the sudden crossing of the Ural Mountains by the Chinese army shattered Stalin's dream.

The vanguard army was even more crumbling in the two large cities of Perm and Orenburg, as well as many small towns in the surrounding area, and Ufa was even more crumbling and frequently in an emergency. Even the troops of the vanguard army bypassed the difficult Ufa and continued to plunder westward. It's almost near the Kama River, and even the stabilized Kazan feels threatened.

This made Stalin's heart sad, and the huge Soviet Russian Empire had no safe place to hide.

"Could it be that the rumors of a compromise between the Chinese and the Germans are false? After they have gained a foothold in Siberia, they will continue to the west? ”

……

"Congratulations on another great victory!" Ribbentrop congratulated Meng Xiang in fluent Chinese.

With the deepening of the exchanges between China and Germany, Ribbentrop's Chinese language proficiency also increased. In just one year, the clever German Foreign Minister can no longer hear the awkwardness of his original spoken Chinese.

"Each other! Aren't your battle flags already flying over Moscow! Meng Xiang understood what Ribbentrop meant this time, but deliberately did not mention it, and continued to greet him.

After a period of politeness, Ribbentrop tactfully turned to the question of the dividing line of the Ural Mountains: "Your army is really remarkable, this time it has crossed the Ural Mountains and has become the second Far Eastern army to set foot on European territory. Let the Russians panic and shout that the yellow peril is coming! ”

He said it so directly, of course Meng Xiang understood. The first Far Eastern army to conquer Europe must have been the Mongol cavalry, but the Yellow Peril theory that was set off at the beginning made the whole of Europe wary. He was euphemistically reminding Meng Xiang that China and Germany had tacitly agreed to divide forces on the Eurasian border. Europe is the Europe of the Caucasian.

Meng Xiang sneered in his heart, but Meng Xiang's flickering level was obviously slightly worse, and with a smile on his face, he glanced at Yan Xishan next to him.

"Win and win! Your army's sweep across Europe is even more exclaiming, the spear of the god of war! We have only achieved a small victory on the Eastern Front, but it has only involved the mobilization of Soviet and Russian troops to Moscow and other Western Fronts, and has helped you relieve the pressure a little. Long live the Wal-German friendship! The ghost elf Lao Yan immediately diverted the conversation and started Tai Chi.

Although Lao Yan's words were low-key, they directly pointed out that this sortie of the Chinese army was more beneficial to the Germans on the Western Front. It was precisely because the news that Huaxia had crossed the Ural Mountains spread that the Soviet Russians were in a hurry for a while, and the German front, which had been stalemate for a long time, moved forward a lot. The Germans recognized this, but they were equally worried about the division of the spoils of war between Soviet Russia.

Although it was now in a stalemate, without the defeat of the Moscow Winter Campaign, the Germans' confidence was swollen enough to swallow the entire territory of Soviet Russia.

Lao Yan is worthy of being an old fox who can dance on three eggs, and after a burst of conversation and laughter, he dizzed Ribbentrop, and he couldn't go back to the issue of the dividing line between the two forces.

Based on his previous experience, he knew that he could not take advantage of the Chinese foreign minister, so he had no choice but to directly lift half of the Germans' hole cards and said: "We are deeply grateful for your support. We can cooperate more in machining, energy, etc.! ”

"Well, that's it! The Germans are quite sensible! The smile on the corner of Meng Xiang's mouth became more sincere.

The reason why there are so many detours in front of us is just waiting for the Germans to take the initiative to come up with some benefits.

Although he had crossed the Ural Mountains, Meng Xiang knew that the Chinese army could not remain entrenched in these occupied Russian cities for a long time. Siberia in the rear has not yet completely gained a foothold, there is still a Far East and Northeast that need to be recovered and cleaned up in the next step, and the opportunity in Southeast Asia in the south cannot be missed.

In addition to the army, the development of China's domestic industry and commerce is inseparable from the support of the outside world.

The world recognizes Siberia as the land of Asia, and the Chinese occupation of Siberia has been gloated by Britain and the United States and other countries watching jokes on the sidelines and not intervening too much. But if it is west of the Ural Mountains, I am afraid that there will be more people interfering.

Although it now occupies the territory of the Russians, it is after all the territory of Europe. This topic is very sensitive, and although Soviet Russia is the enemy of capital, the rejection of colored people also makes it difficult for Europe to accept the entrenchment of the Chinese. Especially when Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union have begun to unite, the direction of public opinion is easy to make China fall into passivity. If it is not handled well, it will easily arouse the hostility of the entire Western world, and even the Germans will be alienated from China, which will affect the foreign exchanges and development of the domestic economy, science and technology, and other aspects.

At present, China has only built a preliminary industrial base system, and it is still far from being an industrial power. To truly become a world power, it will take time to draw nourishment from the many old Western empires. Now is not the time to tear your face with the outside world and talk about self-reliance.

"Europe, we'll be back!" When Meng Xiang ordered to make an evacuation plan, and some people couldn't figure it out, Meng Xiang said directly, "What we need now is real benefits!" ”

That's when the order to move them all out was given.

Although the industrial base of China has been established, there are not too many machines at any time. In the occupied areas, many large enterprises were the essence of Soviet Russian industry, and a large number of machines were directly loaded onto trucks and trains and transported eastward with Meng Xiang's orders.

Under Meng Xiang's special instructions, not only the various machines of those factories, but also those ancillary facilities were dismantled and pulled away. Not only the finished industrial products that the factory has not had time to transport, but also those semi-finished products are transported away like all kinds of raw materials.

"Completely empty, leaving no metal behind!"

The new Motowelli cannon factory in Perm, which was converted from the new Motovili copper smelter, was one of the best smelting factories in Soviet Russia, and Meng Xiang's instructions were thoroughly reflected here, and not only the various metal frames in the factory were removed, but also the doors, windows and nails on the walls of the factory were removed.

Not only the metal, but all kinds of wood and timber were dragged away, the pulp in the paper mill was taken away in barrels, and even a chair in the office and the paper scattered on the floor had to be pulled back.

As a result, the various industries of machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, metallurgy, papermaking, printing, and electric power in the Perm region collapsed and recovered for a long time.

Not only factories, but also all kinds of government institutions and public facilities in the areas occupied by the vanguard army were also removal, and the state treasury, banks, and safes were directly transported with metal parts, and even food and other materials were not left behind.

"The way of the other, the body of the other!"
