Seeing that Guo Bingxun finally figured it out, Yang Zhen did not continue to explain this problem. In fact, this is in front of Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, his two most powerful partners, that he is so bitter. If it were someone else, Yang Zhen might not even be willing to say a word of explanation, let alone speak so thoroughly?

Although the basic tone has been set, there are some things that Yang Zhen did not expect. After many tug-of-war negotiations, the Soviets finally agreed to his exchange plan. But when the final agreement was signed, there was a mistake.

And when the reason is spoken, it almost makes people laugh off their big teeth. M30122 howitzer, this Soviet standard divisional support artillery, the Soviets naturally knew what it was. Although thousands of artillery pieces were lost on the battlefield in the early stage, the Soviet army relied on the existing inventory and could fully meet the needs of the anti-United Nations.

There is no need to even draw this artillery from the western battlefield, and this artillery, which is not much in reserve in the Far East, can fully meet the small needs of the Anti-United Nations. As for the epoch-making tanks such as the T 34 tank, the Soviets naturally knew it very well, because they were all equipment of the Soviet army.

Although when the war situation was tense, some of the latest tanks were withdrawn, which made the Soviets just as painful. But at least it is known where to find this equipment. The most critical problem appeared on the 76mm cannon that Yang Zhen called the ZLS III.

At present, the Soviet army is equipped with 76-mm artillery, especially field artillery, and there are many models. The medium-caliber guns it is equipped with are basically 76 mm guns. At present, the division-level equipment is mainly equipped with F22 and F10 field guns, while the regiment-level equipment is the 1922-type field artillery, and there is no such ZLS-3 76-mm field cannon at all.

This so-called ZLS III 76-mm cannon, the representatives of the Soviet army who came to negotiate, including the General Staff of the Soviet Army behind them, were confused. They had no idea when their troops had been equipped with such an artillery. Even the Ordnance Department of the Soviet Army, which was in charge of the production of Soviet artillery, did not know when the Soviet Union produced such a 76-mm cannon with extremely excellent performance.

Until this negotiation, Yang Zhen, who had always been behind the scenes, proposed that this gun was a product of the famous Soviet Design Bureau of Lakobin. The one who was urgently recalled from the front single-handedly lost a considerable part of the excellent equipment of the Soviet army. Even the few new weapons provided by Yang Zhen were all shot by him, and the former ordnance minister remembered this artillery, which he banned from producing in July this year.

After finally finding out the source of this gun, the Soviet side was unable to provide it from stock because the production of this gun was banned after it was verified in Guò. The emergence of this situation undoubtedly embarrassed the Soviets. An artillery gun known to foreigners, but its production was banned by his own people. And now they are even more unable to come up with the figures demanded by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and they are unable to exchange them for the anti-tank weapons they urgently need.

In the end, it was Major General Lacobin, who was the chief designer, who risked losing his head and sued the General Ordnance Department of the Soviet Army. This artillery, which was shot by the marshal of the Soviet Union, was secretly produced in small quantities in the Gorky 91 plant under the design bureau.

Although the total number of these privately and secretly produced artillery pieces is less than 1,000, there is absolutely no problem in meeting the needs of the Anti-United Nations. It was precisely with this major general and chief designer who stood up at a critical time that this farce did not last too long before it ended.

When this was asked by Yang Zhen by name, but the entire Soviet army was an unequipped artillery, the supreme commander of the Soviet army, who aroused great interest, ordered to be pulled to Moscow for test firing to satisfy his curiosity. and in the subsequent Battle of Vyazma, with a four-gun artillery battery, it destroyed dozens of German tanks and armored vehicles at long range.

The Soviet commander-in-chief, who was shocked by the excellent performance of this artillery, would have almost broken the contract on the spot if it had not been for the persuasion of the current chief of the Soviet General Staff. This artillery is so powerful that all current German tanks cannot defend against it, and it is also the armor-piercing ability of the main 45mm anti-tank gun currently equipped by the Soviet army, which makes the Soviet commander reluctant to take out a gun to exchange.

However, although in the end, all the artillery was delivered according to the negotiated amount, and a full set of drawings was provided, and some technicians were sent to the Anti-Union to assist in production. But the supreme commander of the Soviet army, who was actually very cautious, vented all his anger on the hapless former ordnance minister.

In fact, sending anger on him did not wronged him. If it weren't for his conservatism and inaction, this extremely performant, and rather powerful gun wouldn't have been buried for so long. According to the strong production capacity of the Soviets, by the time the agreement is signed, there will be absolutely no problems with the thousands of doors.

If he hadn't ordered a ban on the production of this artillery, the Soviet army, which lacked new anti-tank weapons, would not have lacked excellent large-caliber anti-tank weapons to such a point. They will not beg in a low voice, the Chinese who have been begging them before.

Even Yang Zhen had long provided the Soviets with bazookas, an individual anti-tank weapon, but in the end he ordered to ban the production, and even the drawings were destroyed, which was accidentally mentioned by some people at this time. This marshal's not very good character made him obviously not looked down upon by Soviet generals at all levels.

There are almost no people who intercede for him when dealing with his problems, but there are quite a few who fall into the ground. Even the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, who kept many talented generals for the Soviet Army at the height of the Soviet rebellion, and the current Chief of the General Staff, did not say a word for him at the risk of being arrested himself.

In addition to the previous experience of failing to supervise the battle at the front line as a representative of the base camp, the angry Soviet commander directly demoted the unlucky former ordnance minister from marshal to lieutenant general in one go, and sent him to the Central Asian Military Region as an artillery commander with only two regiments of artillery.

If it weren't for the old comrades-in-arms who fought side by side in Tsaritsyn, I'm afraid that one of his big stars would be directly replaced by two small stars marked by the major general of the Soviet Army. It is even possible to find an excuse that is not an excuse, like the unlucky ones at the beginning of the Soviet-German war, to be sent to a military court to be shot or sent to Siberia to move stones.

This Soviet marshal, who was too conservative and allowed a considerable part of the Soviet army's excellent new weapons to die, made a big mistake this time. Although he was not directly demoted to a major general in history as Yang Zhen knew, he was separated from the top of the Soviet army and never went to the battlefield again until the end of the war. First, the Central Asian Military District was assigned an idle post in name only, and later he was transferred to the Siberian Military District as a deputy commander.

In addition to the hapless former marshal, another consequence of Yang Zhen's move was the strict scrutiny of the Lakobin Design Bureau and the General Ordnance Department of the Soviet Army. Just kidding, the Soviets themselves didn't know that there was such a new cannon, how did the damned Chinese in the Far East know?

Such a problem must arise because there are traitors, Chinese spies and hostile elements within the General Ordnance Department and the Design Bureau. Not only must it be investigated, but it must also be thoroughly investigated. Those enemy elements hidden within the great Soviet Red Army must be completely eliminated.

As a result, Yang Zhen obtained the drawings of this excellent artillery and a batch of existing equipment, and the chief designer of this excellent artillery and the design team led by him, except for two people who were sent to the Far East to assist in the production of the Anti-Japanese Union after strict examination, the rest were all arrested in the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When Yang Zhen made this plan, he didn't expect that he would be able to lead this high-performance artillery, and it would be mass-produced a full few months earlier than the history he originally knew. Because he made a subjective mistake in this matter, he always thought that this artillery had already begun to be mass-produced at the beginning of the Soviet-German war.

He did not expect that the production of this artillery would actually start at the end of this year, and the large-scale equipment of the Soviet army would be next year. Not to mention that the fate of a Soviet marshal changed radically in his own hands. There was also a group of excellent Soviet artillery designers who would have been imprisoned for themselves, and even many were shot.

The subsequent impact of this incident was not only that, but even extended to the introduction of other Soviet-made weapons by the Anti-Japanese Union a few years later. Especially when the Anti-Japanese Federation introduced the production technology of Soviet-made D Type 152 howitzer and D Type 44 85mm cannon.

The Soviet side, which was a little nervous and always suspicious by Yang Zhen, almost every time Yang Zhen proposed to introduce that weapon, it was always accompanied by a complete purge of the weapon design bureau or production plant afterwards. From the general designer to the technicians in general, and even the workers are objects of suspicion.

Killing and killing, the spy was not caught, and the Soviet Union lost a lot of excellent weapon designers. This time, General Racobin was lucky to save his life under the protection of the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, but there were only a few people left in his design team, and the rest were arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and shot at random on the same charge.

In addition to the artillery design bureau, even the Far Eastern Military District followed suit. The Minister of Internal Affairs of the Far Eastern Military District, who was in charge of the suppression of the rebellion and the anti-special forces, was recalled to Moscow and never returned. After the arrest of the head of intelligence of the military district, he was directly executed by order of Moscow without any trial. Even Kovalev was almost not implicated. After the completion of the negotiations, he was recalled to Moscow and was able to return for a long time.

If it weren't for Yang Zhen's repeated requests, the Anti-Japanese Federation would only recognize him and the Far Eastern King General Abanashenk in negotiations with the Soviet Union, I'm afraid these two would not be able to keep their heads. As for the chief of staff of the Far Eastern Military District, who was directly responsible for the negotiations, he was demoted to a division commander and sent to the front, where he was eventually killed in the Kharkiv battle the following year.

Yang Zhen's foresight and coveting of the excellent Soviet-made artillery led the supreme commander of the Soviet army, who was always suspicious, and every time Yang Zhen opened his mouth, he always opened a big killing. It was not until the end of the war that he stopped because the weapon designers were thrown into prison and lost too many heads, which had greatly affected the upgrading and updating of the weapons and equipment of the Soviet army.

It's just that the follow-up impact caused by this incident is not something that Yang Zhen can predict now. Yang Zhen, who lacked excellent artillery in his hand, did not think about the consequences of doing so to the Soviets when he asked for the artillery he needed by name. Or maybe he has thought of it, but he is making a fortune in a muffled voice and consciously not saying it.
