Chapter 594: The Prime Minister Comes Out

In addition, the Indian peninsula and China are geographically isolated, the north is the towering Himalayas, only the Nathula Pass is passable, and it is said to be a mountain pass, but the altitude is more than 4,500 meters, it is by no means something that ordinary people can afford, although a road is built, the drivers who drive have to be carefully selected, and the volume of transportation is naturally extremely limited, at most supporting the needs of more than 30,000 people.

Although the average altitude of the Manipur Mountains in the east is only more than 1,000 meters, it is basically undeveloped, except for a road connecting the Indian Peninsula and the Indochina Peninsula, there is no road to pass, and the advantages of the Chinese army marching in the mountains in the face of the dense tropical rainforests in the mountains are also difficult to play, the danger here is much greater than the temperate jungle, and the number of people who die from snakes and tropical diseases will be much more than those who die in battle, as evidenced by the encounter of the expeditionary force in the Savage Mountains in history. As a result, the Manipur Mountains are no less accessible than the Himalayas, and even worse when you consider that the Indochina Peninsula is also very difficult to get to traffic with mainland China (Yunnan and Myanmar, for example, are only connected by road).

Under these circumstances, it is very inconvenient for the Chinese government to transfer troops or send supplies to India, and this attack can adopt the method of "fighting to feed the war" to obtain supplies from India itself, but the supplies obtained on the spot are only one-time, and even though the consumption of the PLA is smaller than that of other powers, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and it is by no means something that can be supported by two roads for a long time

Therefore, Hu Weidong would have ordered the withdrawal of troops sooner or later. It is precisely because of this that there is quite a lot of room for concessions in the negotiations, but under such circumstances, there is no hope that the peace talks will be reached, so many people in the top echelons of the Red Party believe that Hu Weidong's overly hardline attitude has affected the peace talks, and because Hu Weidong has offended many people before, and some guys with ulterior motives have taken the opportunity to fall into the ground, this kind of call has become even louder.

However, contrary to the thinking of many people, the great man did not believe that the successive victories under the command of Hu Weidong hindered the peace talks. Moreover, these victories have greatly encouraged all strata of the country, and the people of Indochina have a significantly stronger sense of belonging to China (more than half of the soldiers in the Indochina Field Army were recruited from Indochina). Far from being "a waste of money for the people" and "more than worth the loss" as many people think, he even supported Hu Weidong in a meeting and said, "How long the time will be, I don't think we should make a decision." The initiative is in the hands of the British government. It's up to the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, to decide. We will fight for as long as they want, until complete victory! ”

But. In the absence of any other means, in order to protect Hu Weidong, he took the initiative to take over the responsibility, saying that he had misemployed people and that Hu Weidong, who lacked experience in negotiations, should not be allowed to take charge of the work of peace talks in addition to commanding, so that Hu Weidong was only removed from the post of head of the negotiation delegation, and his military power and status within the party were not greatly affected, and his prestige was even enhanced because everyone felt that the great man attached special importance to him.

After Hu Weidong was dismissed from his part-time job, the great man immediately proposed that Zhou Gong, who was recognized as the number one diplomat in the party, personally take charge of the work of peace talks with Britain. And because of Hu Weidong's understanding of the great powers, although he has now left his post, Zhou Gong will often ask for his opinion by telegram for reference.

The two agreed that if they want to avoid suffering too much in the negotiations, the key lies in the attitude of the Soviet Union, as long as the Soviet Union begins to support China again, then the United States will not dare to force it too hard, and Hu Weidong also came up with some ideas, under the planning of the premier, cleverly "attract the troubled water", so that the US government once again shifted the focus of prevention to the Soviet Union

Like Taizu, the prime minister is also a master of Yangmou, and the Soviets knew that this was poisonous bait, but they still couldn't resist their greed and obediently swallowed it in one gulp. This first decoy was China's agreement to sell the Soviet Union 10,000 1-ton aviation cloud burst bombs (by the way, it also made a net profit of more than 100 million US dollars, and it must be admitted that the Soviet Union in 1941 was far richer than in 1937, when it had just completed two five-year periods), although this was a little worse than the direct transfer of Jishu that the Soviet Union expected, but the Soviets were confident that with their industrial and technological strength far stronger than China's, it would not take long to copy it, so they were quite satisfied with it. As everyone knows, unless you can know the chemical composition of the fuel air explosives used in this kind of cloud burst bomb, it is impossible to imitate it at all, and with the scientific and technological strength of the Soviet Union during World War II, it is difficult to analyze the molecular formula of that substance even if it takes ten years to do it, which is also the fundamental reason why Hu Weidong preferred to increase the difficulty of industrial production at the beginning, and insisted on launching the third-generation cloud burst bomb that China successfully developed after 2016 in history, in order to make it impossible for the powers to imitate it

But the Soviet Union did not know this, and after testing the power of the cloudburst bomb, it was full of praise, although it was found that it only worked wonders when attacking fortifications, but the most difficult thing in modern warfare is not to attack fortifications? What's more, in the field, the Soviet steel torrent was not placed there just for the sake of good looks

The news of China's sale of cloud bombs to the Soviet Union immediately provoked a fierce reaction from the other powers, and the mustache directly ordered the ambassador to China to import the jishu from China at all costs, and if the Chinese did not agree, at least to persuade them to sell the finished product. Since the more than 30,000 German experts and technicians in China were crucial to China's industrialization, the Chinese side did not dare to slack off, and soon agreed to sell 10,000 cloudburst shells of various types to Germany for a total price of $500 million.

In order to prevent the Soviet Union from intercepting it in its territory, the German government adopted half of the land route to return home through the Soviet Union, and half to the Far East Fleet in China, and when it returned to China in the future, it was transported back by sea by sea, and they could also be used in naval battles if necessary, because these shells were originally the caliber of naval guns, and the armor-piercing blasting shells were designed to allow them to penetrate into the relatively closed warship and explode, although they could not effectively destroy the enemy's hull. However, because of the characteristics of the cloudburst bomb, it can kill and injure a large number of people on the enemy's warships and cause a large area of fire, and sometimes it can be miraculous. It is worth mentioning that this type of ammunition was successfully developed by Li Siping, who was released back to China, and after verifying the effect in the test launch, even Hu Weidong, the first ammunition master of Shijie, was full of praise for his creativity (to be continued......
