Text Chapter 797 Battle with Persia (7)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is the hottest season of the year, and the city of Beijing is much duller.  This summer has been difficult. The once-in-a-century Yangtze River flood has seriously affected the three provinces of Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi. Even Song Weichen's Wuhan Shipyard was submerged, resulting in the launch of 7 landing ships, 2 submarines and 3 destroyers that were being outfitted.  Damage, although most of the damage can be repaired, the construction period will definitely be delayed.

    The floods in the Yangtze River affect people's hearts, but what worries the whole country the most is the war in Afghanistan and Persia.  The war in Afghanistan has been going on for more than a year. Although the initial progress was smooth, after the Soviet-Afghan border was recovered, since China and the Soviet Union had not officially started war, Sun Chuanfang's three infantry divisions were restrained from defending the border.  You must know that due to limited transportation capacity, there are currently only seven divisions and one mountain brigade of troops entering Afghanistan. Half of the energy is spent on the confrontation border, and the remaining half is to capture the hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched in Herat and using layers of fortifications in the plateau and mountainous areas.  The Soviet army seemed very inadequate.  Therefore, Sun Chuanfang has been asking the Air Force to increase support. However, as Iran started fighting, most of the Air Force's energy was tied up in the route from Kashgar to the Persian Gulf, so the force invested in Afghanistan was temporarily reduced.

    In the garden of the Presidential Palace, cicadas were chattering and making a lot of noise.

    Miao Luo is now the leader of national women¡¯s rights protection activities, so during this time she mainly worked in Congress, universities, and factories. She also often went to the countryside to learn about the situation on the spot, and was busy working on amending the Marriage Law and the Women and Children¡¯s Rights and Interests Law.  Lu Bicheng is the money bag of the Yang family. From West Asia to South America, she is interested in anyone who makes money.  Although Ruiyao is the most low-key among the three ladies, and she has always maintained an image of taking care of the housework and educating the children to the outside world, she still spends a lot of time hiding in the secret room every day, recreating various pictures from the data machine that only the couple knows.  The drawings are then handed over to a secret drawing factory by a dedicated person for reprinting.

    In order to make the three ladies believe it, Yang Qiu also made up a lie about the ruins of the Tunguska explosion.

    Over the past twenty years, Yang Qiu has only done three things.  The first is to use strong means to suppress civil unrest and sort out national government affairs.  Build the missing legal, social structures and educational framework to lay the foundation for a republic.  The second thing is to use the Chengcheng Act to stabilize farmers, and then focus on developing basic industries in a down-to-earth manner. Finally, we use industry to gradually attract the expanding rural population to cities, allowing the country to slowly transition to urbanization and industrialization.  The third thing is to remake the key drawings in the data machine and submit them to the science and technology department for research. Although the entire set of drawings is rarely copied, there are no less than 100,000 drawings of key military technologies and equipment. Basically, except for modern machines that require computers and integrated circuits,  Except for the weapons, everything has been copied, and the weight of all the blueprints stacked up is heavier than a battleship.

    Many of these drawings cannot be realized with current processing technology.  But Yang Qiu didn't care. His idea was very simple. He first gave an answer without any explanation, and sometimes deliberately missing parts, letting the technicians figure out how to solve the answer. As for whether the specific process was the same as in the data machine,  It doesn't really matter.  This is true for Thunderbolt fighter jets, radars, jet aircraft and even the first operational nuclear reactor.  Give a vague answer, and mobilize all your resources and national power to figure out the conditions required for this answer.  Therefore, many military industrial technologies have been put into use in physical form and even in laboratories. What is lacking is how to engineer large-scale manufacturing.  It just depends on whether the price is worth it or not.  For technicians and scientists, because there are only answers without a process, they can gain accumulation and inspiration in the process of searching.  And extend a lot of other knowledge.  Similarly, most new technologies are originally used for military purposes, so they can also lead to advancements in the civilian field.

    Ruiyao wiped her sweat and carefully put the data machine into the safe.  Then put the piles of film into a special coded briefcase, press the bell and hand it over to the officer in charge.  Watch him handcuff the briefcase and his wrists together, tie the explosive wires, and then put the handcuff keys into his pocket.

    After finishing a day's work.  She became the busy third lady again, walking into the study with the cooked mung bean soup.  "Sent it away?" Yang Qiu took the mung bean soup and saw that there were still sweat stains on her forehead. He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it dry, then said with concern: "If the weather is hot, take less shots. There is no need for it now."

    "Anyway, I have nothing to do." After Ruiyao told all the things she took today, she saw the mess on the table and tidied it up while saying, "By the way. Tian Lei came back yesterday and said that their troops are going to be transferred to the northwest, and the junior sister is still  I¡¯m worried about this.¡±

    Yang Tianlei is the eldest son born to Miao Luo. He served in the First Armored Division after graduating from the National Defense University.  Not long ago, the General Staff made a decision to mobilize the First Army, including the 1st Armored Division, to Irkutsk. This is also the first time to mobilize the Ace Army to the northwest after the 103rd Central Guard Division stationed in Andijan.  Even if they no longer care about national affairs, they still know what it means for the Ace Army to be transferred to the northwest at this time, so Miao Luo and the others are very worried about the safety of their children.

    "Don't worry about it, it's nothing serious."

    Yang ??Although they don't care on the surface, they actually know in their hearts that China and the Soviet Union's apparent restraint in the northwest is just waiting for an opportunity.  Germany has completed its military deployment to Poland, and Stalin is also watching the movements of the German army. If Hitler does not fulfill the contract, he will not actively provoke a Sino-Soviet war even if he is killed.  But if Germany fulfills the agreement, then after there is no pressure from the European direction, it will definitely go all out to attack Iran. After all, the National Defense Forces only have two corps in the Persian Gulf, and its technical advantages are often afraid of human sea tactics.  But he will go all out to attack Iran, and the National Defense Forces will definitely launch a northwest campaign to reduce pressure on the Persian Gulf.

    This is a chain knot that no one can break, so the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet war is just a matter of who strikes first.

    But it was hard for him to say these words to his wives, so he could only treat them carelessly.  Fortunately, the sound of footsteps coming from outside the corridor interrupted Ruiyao's inquiry.  "President, Madam." Jiang Fangzhen and Yue Peng walked in hand in hand.  Ruiyao knew that the three of them had something to discuss, so she put down her book and said with a smile, "You guys sit down first, and I'll bring you mung bean soup to cool down."

    "Thank you, madam." After Jiang Fangzhen thanked him, he took out the telegram and said: "This is the news I just received. The German battleship Holstein set out last night to conduct an attack on Danzig, Poland, in the name of commemorating the fallen soldiers of World War I.  Friendly visit.¡±

    The visit of the battleship Holstein to Poland was recognized as a precursor to the German attack on Poland. On the fifth day after its arrival, this old battleship bombarded the Polish navy and city of Danzig.  So when Yang Qiu heard the news, he clenched his fist fiercely.  Yue Peng even sneered: "How stupid! The German army has been surrounded from three sides, and dozens of divisions are eyeing it. They don't actively prepare for war but still agree to let the battleships visit Hong Kong. It's obviously asking for death."

    Jiang Fangzhen chuckled: "Back then, Britain and France created the Danzig Corridor to spread hatred, and the Poles foolishly fell into the trap, giving Germany a chance to take revenge. After occupying the Czech Republic, the German army had formed a three-sided attack, let alone  It was also under the guise of a visit. If Hitler told them that if they didn't want war, they would use the entire navy in exchange. It is estimated that the Poles would obediently offer it. However, Britain and France are a bit tricky this time. They are allies with Poland, and they will not be able to escape if war breaks out.  After this disaster, Chamberlain is probably already in a state of despair."

    Yang Qiu doesn¡¯t have a good impression of Poland either.  Swallowing Danzig, coveting East Prussia, and attacking the Soviet Union shows that this is a strategically short-sighted country.  But he was very interested in Polish scientists and technicians. Historically, they were either imprisoned in German concentration camps or taken away by the Soviet Union and disappeared. It was a pity.  Yue Peng also nodded: "It's not impossible to recruit some people. Anyway, now Germany also hopes that we can hold back the Soviet Union. It's just that shipping is more troublesome. All our ships outside have been transferred to Saudi Arabia, unless we rent ships from Britain and the United States. But after the war in Poland started  , I¡¯m afraid Britain and France don¡¯t have any extra ships for us.¡±

    "There are still ships. More than 50 supply ships from Brazil have arrived in the Red Sea and are unloading, and some of them can go to the Baltic Sea."

    In his early years, Yang Qiu asked his second uncle and his family to go to Brazil to develop and establish the Brazilian American China Company. After marrying Miao Luo, he took over the American Zhi Gong Tang and transferred many people from it to help.  The world's largest instant coffee factory now belongs to Meihua Company.  After making money from instant coffee, Brazil's Meihua Company invested in rubber, shipbuilding and other industries. It is said that it also bought a large area of ??land. In the end, even Yang Qiu's first guard chief Lei Meng went there to take care of the business.  Everyone knows these things.  In order to replenish the Persian Gulf this time, Yang Qiu also asked the Brazilian company Meihua to raise more than 70 ships to continuously transport food and materials to Saudi Arabia.  Hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition were also secretly sent.

    ¡°However, with the war currently raging in the Persian Gulf, it is unclear whether Polish scientists are willing to come to China.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do everything we can to obey fate.¡± Yang Qiu waved his hand and changed the subject.  After all, after more than 20 years of compulsory education and the wave of government-sponsored study abroad, in addition to master scientists, there is no shortage of basic research talents in China. What is lacking is accumulation and experience.  He was now more concerned about the war situation in the Persian Gulf and handed the battle report on the table to the two of them: "This is from Bai Chongxi. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the troops have landed ashore. He reported that the Soviet army has now been divided into three groups and is attacking Afghanistan respectively.  Bataan, Shahpur and Rigg, ready to wipe us out from the coast.¡±

    Yue Peng picked up the battle report, walked to the map and marked the situations one by one, but suddenly frowned.

    "What, did you see it?"

    "Well." Yue Peng put down the battle report and shook his head with some disappointment: "Bai Chongxi is a bit conservative. Judging from his meaning, he just wants to eat the three armies on the Ahvaz side. It seems safe but cannot shake the Soviet army's power in Iran.  The foundation. If it were me, I should use Abadan as a feint attack, focus on Rigg Port, quickly land, use infantry to penetrate directly into Isfahan and Qom, and at the same time drop a small force to block Dizfuler, and in one fell swoop  Cut off the connection between the north and the south!¡±

    Yang Qiu nodded secretly, Yue Peng is indeed the number one general of the National Defense Force, at first glance?The Iranian plateau is actually not suitable for rapid penetration of armored troops, but is more suitable for light infantry operations.  It's a pity that Bai Chongxi still insisted on a safe step-by-step strategy.  But Jiang Fangzhen laughed: "Zian, you are wrong. Bai Chongxi must know the role of light infantry. I think he is too worried about supply and consumption. Because according to the way you fought just now, the casualties of the infantry must be quite large."

    "What a pity, the general is not handsome." Yue Peng also smiled, but he still felt a little regretful.  After all, they are all older, and the question of the future successors of the National Defense Force has always troubled everyone.

    "Why are you anxious? This battle will not end in a day or two. Aren't young people like Zhuo Fan and Li Jin coming out? As long as they don't make mistakes, the General Staff can delegate power. As time goes by, there will always be a few who can fight.  Come out." Jiang Fangzhen knew what he was thinking and comforted him before continuing: "Iran is not a problem. If you eat the three armies in Ahvaz, Stalin will be in pain for a while. What's more, after Ahvaz is taken,  , Pahlavi can also return to the country to organize troops, and we also have an advance base. Now I am worried that after Poland starts fighting, Britain and France will take the opportunity to block the Suez Canal, and the South American fleet will also be affected. In addition, Germany will implement the treaty, and there will be no worries for the time being.  Stalin will probably go all out to invest in Iran, and Bai Chongxi and Zhu Jiande will be under much greater logistical pressure."

    "Don't worry, I just called Chen Shaokuan. The battleships Beijing and Shanghai will set off south tomorrow morning. Japan has no way to retreat now. If it wants to eat the Philippines, it should first ask our requirements, right?" Yue Peng blinked.  His eyes raised the corners of his mouth naughtily ps: I don't know if it's because of the recent high temperature that I almost never leave the air-conditioned room. My head has been feeling groggy since the afternoon. Please give me some time
