In addition to the establishment of independent brigades, the Siberian Army is under the jurisdiction of the 9th, 21st, and 22nd armies; The East Kazakh Army Group is under the jurisdiction of the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 20th, 31st Armies and the 104th Central Guard Division; The South Kazakh Army Group is under the jurisdiction of the 1st, 15th, 16th, 29th, and 33rd armies; The 14th, 19th, 23rd armies and the 103rd Central Guard Division were under the jurisdiction of the Uzbek Army Group; The Turkmen Army was under the jurisdiction of the 10th, 24th, and 32nd armies; The Persian Gulf Army is under the jurisdiction of the 4th, 18th, 24th, 25th, 34th, and 38th armies; The Northeast Group Army is under the jurisdiction of the 8th, 13th, 20th, 32nd, 39th Armies and the 102nd Central Guard Division; The Southwest Army is under the jurisdiction of the 3rd, 17th, 35th, 36th, and 37th armies; The 6th, 12th, 24th, 28th, 30th Armies and the 101st Central Guard Division were under the jurisdiction of the Domestic Garrison Army, the 11th and 37th Armies and the Borneo Autonomous Army (later reorganized as the 41st Army) were under the jurisdiction of the Borneo Nanyang Group Army, and the 27th, 30th, 40th, 42nd, and 43rd Armies of the Reserve Army were under the jurisdiction of the 27th, 30th, 40th, 42nd, and 43rd Armies of the Reserve Army.

By the end of July at the latest, the 81 recruit divisions mobilized after the war will be able to complete their training, and they will be deployed to your armies or to form new armies, depending on the situation. This brings the total number of divisions of the Army to 312 divisions, as well as 3 airborne divisions, 3 separate brigades, 11 separate armored regiments, 42 separate heavy artillery regiments, 1 separate railway artillery regiment and 132 National Guard/Transport regiments.

By the end of the year, the Navy reported that they would have 10 aircraft carriers, 6 converted aircraft carriers, 6 battleships, 11 heavy cruisers, 28 light cruisers, 170 destroyers, 139 submarines and 22 air groups, as well as 5 marine divisions and 11 coastal defense regiments (fortresses). By the end of the year, the Air Force will be able to complete the organization of 45 combat wings, 25 tactical attack wings, 16 strategic bombing groups, 22 territorial air defense groups, 41 tactical transport groups, and 15 strategic transport groups.

In addition, the Asian League forces under China's command now have 6 divisions of Saudi Arabia, 16 divisions of 3 armies of the Kazakh Independence Army, 5 divisions of Uzbekistan, 1 division of Turkmenistan, 5 divisions of the Afghan Army, 6 divisions of the Iranian Army, 6 divisions of the Indian Muslim League, and 22 divisions of 7 armies of the Korean People's Army. Independent Malayan Division, Singapore Division, Philippine Division, Sumatran Division, Burmese Division, Bengal Division, Javanese Division, and Lai Division, with a total strength of 910,000. ”

The meeting in the Almaty Theater Command continued, and Qin Zhangshu's loud voice opened the curtain on the second phase of the battle of the Talas Plan. And at this time. Yang Qiu has also quietly come to Anshan, Liaoning. As the spring-summer offensive was about to begin, he became increasingly concerned about logistics. You must know that the Central Asian operation is based on a one-to-one consumption ratio, that is, one ton is transported to the front line, and one ton will be consumed on the way. According to the calculations of the General Staff Headquarters, each division needs to consume a minimum of 500 tons of supplies per day on average in wartime, which means that the troops currently in use alone will consume 90,000 tons of supplies per day. In addition, it takes time to recover from the Central Asian War, and it is necessary to provide supplies for the growing Central Asian Independent Army and second-line troops, which is equivalent to sending 150,000 tons to the front line every day!

150,000 tons per day, according to the 180 days of this battle plan, is 27 million tons of supplies!

35 tonnes per wagon (based on the minimum for bulk cargo). It is necessary to issue 4,300 wagons per day, or 30 10,000-ton ships (the actual load of the standard 10,000-ton wheels is about 5,000 tons), and if the standard 25-ton load of the ten-wheel heavy trucks that are being manufactured in full force is calculated, it will take 240,000 units/truck transfer to meet (the maximum truck supply is two days away from the railway station and the wharf, and it takes 4 batches to ensure that the supply is received every day).

Combined with the consumption ratio, 300,000 tons of materials were actually consumed every day during the war. This amount is quite large, based on the fact that 20% of the total daily output of the whole country before the war will be swallowed up by the war in Central Asia! Finally, there is the chaotic consumption of aid, military construction, defense of the southeast coast, and the South Seas. All in all. More than 500 million people need to dig a quarter out of their bowls every day to meet the needs of this war! This is also the main reason why countries are reluctant to fight on two fronts unless they have no choice. Due to the inability of Central Asia to transport by sea, traditional means of land transportation can no longer meet the needs of thousands of kilometers of land supply lines and huge supply volumes. So he needs a whole new supply method and mode.

And this method is the modern logistics system used in later generations and the simple and large-scale standardized container model.

Anshan Iron and Steel Plant is the third largest crude steel base in China and belongs to NORINCO Group. Anshan Iron and Steel Company, which has coal and iron resources in Anshan, can provide 5 million tons of crude steel per year, second only to Changchun Industrial Company's Sino-French Iron and Steel Plant with 6 million tons and Baotou Iron and Steel Group's 5.2 million tons. Plus 3.7 million tons of dangtu. 3 million tons for Northwest Iron and Steel Company, 2.9 million tons for Liupanshui, 2.6 million tons for Heilongjiang (near Amur Region, Russia), 2.5 million tons for Hanyang, 2 million tons for Zhanjiang, 1.2 million tons for New Hangzhou Bay Iron and Steel Plant, and 1.1 million tons for Chongqing. After three five-year plans and a 10-year period of privatization and free development, they together form the steel backbone of the country.

It's just that with the outbreak of the Great War, this backbone is still insufficient. As of last year, because of the early outbreak of the war, the United States has produced nearly 55 million tons of steel, the United Kingdom 13 million tons, the Soviet Union 17 million tons, Germany 20 million tons, France 5.3 million tons, and the output has increased to 3.7 million tons because of the early southward access to Malayan iron ore. Looking at the crude steel output simply, the Republic of China is indeed the second in the world, but it is not enough in the overall context. Per capita aside, due to the long distance of the Central Asian battlefield and the poor transportation conditions, the consumption of military steel was 25 times that of Britain and Germany, and 15 times that of the Soviet Union. In some respects, it is even more difficult than the American transatlantic consumption. More importantly, in history, U.S. steel production doubled by World War II because of a large amount of idle due to the economic crisis, so the production capacity is very large, and the Republic of China has maintained a high level of rapid growth for 20 years, and the production capacity has been maintained at a high level, and the margin is insufficient. In addition, the steel industry is an industry with a long investment and returns, and in addition to state support and itself, there will not be too many people to invest in this field, so according to the forecast of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, 50 million is probably a peak.

At present, in addition to traditional profiles and shipbuilding steel, Angang's main products are also the manufacture of standard land-based containers. The land standard container was created by Yang Qiu, mainly because there is no suitable flatbed truck at present, and even if there is a technological breakthrough, the road cannot keep up with these big guys. This type of container is slightly smaller than the half-container of later generations. It is completely manufactured according to the body standard of a ten-wheeled heavy truck. Each box has a standard load of 25 tons and a maximum of 4 tons.

Manufacturing container manufacturing is not complicated, after the rolling mill rolls the steel plate into a corrugated type, the worker master uses the riveting assembly method (riveting is simple and can be disassembled and assembled when needed), and then adds the bottom of the forklift, and finally brushes the eye-catching number with white paint.

"How many can you make per month now?"

"At the current pace, we can produce 10,000 per month here. In addition to Guangdong, Hangzhou, Anqing and Heilongjiang, 40,000 TEUs per month is not a problem. Yang Qiu was introduced to the North Industries Group, a well-known ordnance expert who is now the director of the technical department of the North Group: "We will add two new rolling mills next month. At that time, the scale will be able to increase to 15,000 per month. ”

"It's a little little." Yang Qiu raised his finger to Jia Xiaohou and Gu Weijun, who accompanied the inspection: "Container transportation is not only economical, but also speeds up, so we must continue to increase production." I estimate that 1.5 million rotations per month will be needed in Central Asia alone. When you go back, let all the factories with roll mills in the country put in it, and this thing is not complicated. We must increase the production capacity to 100,000 per month. In addition, the Admiralty and shipyards, large containers and special transport ships must also be urged to speed up. Last time Marshall had already seen our container and asked to sell a set of equipment to go back to study. Therefore, it is necessary to work out detailed container standards before the United States. Not only us, but also all the terminal facilities in our radiation areas in the future should be built according to this standard, only in this way can we ensure that in the future, countries will converge with the standards of our forklifts, box specifications, docks and gantry cranes and other equipment. ”

Although Yang Qiu no longer needs to consider re-election. However, the cabinet adjustment must be carried out, and although Wang Zhengting, the prime minister of the peace, is not as smooth as Gu Weijun in foreign relations, and the world situation is becoming more and more mysterious. Gu Weijun relied on his accumulated diplomacy and contacts in various countries to gradually stand out in this competition.

Gu Weijun was very smart, and immediately understood that Yang Qiu wanted to use the war to promote China's container standards. In this way, no matter which country wants to develop in the future, it must follow this standard. Otherwise, the seaports and docks controlled by China after the war would not be able to accommodate them. After explaining the matter of the container, Yang Qiu focused on the rail-laying car and dump truck wagon. After all, no matter how strong the container is, it must be transported by rail. The Central Asian Railway itself is small, and even if the Soviet army is swept away in this battle, it will definitely be destroyed, so if these things cannot keep up, it will be impossible for the troops to conduct a large-depth operation.

When he walked out of the factory, Luo Hu was already waiting at the door: "President, minister." The task has been completed, everything has been shipped to Beijing. Before I came, Director Yan Baohang asked me to tell you that Team Leader Jin Bihui had already contacted the Polish government-in-exile and the commander of the Polish army in exile in France, and now there were about 30 Polish officers rushing to London. ”

"Great!" Yang Qiu quietly clenched his fists. It is important to win by himself, but such a large consumption is something he does not want to see, and he should always find someone to make up for it. So he thought for a while and said: "Shaochuan, let Tan Yanmin handle the container and logistics matters, you accompany Miao Luo to the United States once, just when Sisi graduated, and by the way, I will also pick her up." This time I went out to contact Polish friends a lot, and we couldn't do everything by ourselves. By the way, I will inform Rutang and Ziqing to prepare a sum of money and equipment, so as to form a few Polish brigades. ”

Gu Weijun already knew what Luo Hu was going to do this time, so he understood what Yang Qiu meant, and said with a smile: "President, I'm afraid a few brigades are not enough." When this bomb bursts, the Poles will definitely hate the USSR to death. Moreover, Britain and France are now lukewarm to the Polish government-in-exile and the exiled army, and are not even willing to provide equipment, so if you climb the heights, it is possible to form a legion, and I am afraid that it will cost you a lot of money financially. ”

"I want as many as I want, not to mention one legion, even ten is worth it! It's better than filling human lives into it ourselves. However, you still have to be more active, I will ask Yan Baohang to cooperate with you, give you some escaped Polish veterans, and promote it well, maybe the American people will be overflowing with sympathy all of a sudden? ”

"Haha." Hearing Yang Qiu's jokes, Gu Weijun and everyone immediately burst out laughing. Who wants to carry the Soviet army to the death, they are all eager to recruit hundreds of thousands of Polish troops to go to Siberia in the ice and snow and fight the Soviet army to the death. What's more, such a good opportunity, even if you know that it is a pit, the Poles will be grateful.

So Yang Qiu said that he was playing, and immediately instructed Gu Yu: "You go to Wuhan immediately, bring Professor Katzmalz and Hua Luogeng, and say that I need to see him immediately if I have something important." In addition, make a call to Chen Shaokuan, didn't he shout all day long that I was treating the Navy badly, and I had nothing to do when I was idle? Let him prepare his ship, and bring me General Sikorsky, who is in exile in France, and his 40,000 Polish troops. ”
