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

    By the end of July at the latest, the 81 new divisions mobilized after the war will complete their training, and they will join your army groups or form new armies as appropriate.  This gives the Army a total of 312 divisions, 3 airborne divisions, 3 independent brigades, 11 independent armored regiments, 42 independent heavy artillery regiments, 1 independent railway artillery regiment, and 132 National Guard/Transportation Regiments.

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

    In addition, the Asian League troops under our command currently include 6 divisions from Saudi Arabia, 16 divisions from 3 corps of the Kazakh Independent Army, 5 divisions from Uzbekistan, 1 division from Turkmenistan, 5 divisions from the Afghan Army, 6 divisions from the Iranian Army,  There are 6 divisions of the Indian Muslim League and 22 divisions of 7 corps of the Korean People's Army.  The independent Malayan Division, Singapore Division, Philippine Division, Sumatra Division, Burmese Division, Bengal Division, Java Division, and Lai Division have a total strength of 910,000.  "

    The meeting within the Almaty Theater Command was still continuing, and Qin Zhangshu¡¯s loud voice kicked off the second phase of the Talas Plan.  And at this time.  Yang Qiu has also quietly arrived in Anshan, Liaoning.  As the spring and summer offensives were about to begin, he became increasingly concerned about logistics.  You know, the Central Asia operation basically has a one-to-one consumption ratio, that is, if one ton is transported to the front line, one ton will be consumed on the way.  According to calculations by the General Staff, each division needs to consume at least 500 tons of supplies per day on average during wartime. This means that the currently deployed troops alone consume 90,000 tons of supplies every day.  In addition, it will take time to recover from the Central Asian War, and supplies must be provided for the growing Central Asian Independence Army and second-line troops, which means that 150,000 tons need to be transported to the front line every day!

    150,000 tons per day, based on the 180 days of this combat plan, that is 27 million tons of supplies!

    One wagon is 35 tons (minimum based on bulk cargo).  It is necessary to issue 4,300 wagons every day, or 30 10,000-ton wheels (the actual load of a standard 10,000-ton wheel is about 5,000 tons). If the standard 25-ton load of the ten-wheel heavy truck that is being manufactured is concentrated, 240,000 vehicles/wheels are needed.  Only one truck transfer is needed (the truck supply is at most two days away from the train station and the terminal, and four batches of round trips are needed to ensure daily supplies).

    Coupled with the consumption ratio, 300,000 tons of materials were actually consumed every day during wartime.  This amount is quite large. Basically, 20% of the country's total daily output before the war will be swallowed up by the war in Central Asia!  Finally, there are the messy aid, military construction, southeast coastal defense, Nanyang and other consumption.  All in all.  More than 500 million citizens need to dig out a quarter from the bowl every day to meet the needs of this war!  This is also the main reason why countries are unwilling to fight on two fronts unless they have no other choice.  Since Central Asia cannot be transported by sea, traditional land transportation methods are no longer sufficient in the face of thousands of kilometers of land supply lines and huge supplies.  So he needs new supply methods and models.

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

    Anshan Iron and Steel Plant is the third largest crude steel base in the country and is affiliated to NORINCO Group.  Anshan Iron and Steel Company, which owns Anshan's coal and iron resources, can provide 5 million tons of crude steel every year, second only to Changchun Industrial Company's Sino-French Iron and Steel Plant's 6 million tons and Baotou Iron and Steel Group's 5.2 million tons.  In addition to 3.7 million tons of Dangtu.  Northwest Steel Company has 3 million tons, Liupanshui has 2.9 million tons, Heilongjiang (near Amur State in Russia) Steel Plant has 2.6 million tons, Hanyang has 2.5 million tons, Zhanjiang has 2 million tons, New Hangzhou Bay Steel Plant has 1.2 million tons, and Chongqing has 1.1 million tons.  After three five-year plans and ten years of privatization and free development, they have jointly formed the steel backbone of the country.

    But with the outbreak of the war, this backbone was still insufficient.  As of last year, due to the early outbreak of the war, the steel production of the United States has been close to 55 million tons, the United Kingdom 13 million tons, the Soviet Union 17 million tons, Germany 20 million tons, and France 5.3 million tons. In recent days, because of the early arrival of iron ore in Malaya, the output has increased.  has increased to 3.7 million tons.  Simply looking at the output of crude steel, the Republic of China is indeed second in the world, but it is not enough in the larger context.  write off?On a per capita basis, due to the long distances between battlefields in Central Asia and poor transportation conditions, military steel consumption is 25 times that of Britain and Germany, and 15 times that of the Soviet Union.  In some respects, the difficulty is even greater than the United States' transatlantic consumption.  More importantly, historically, U.S. steel production doubled during World War II because a large amount of it was idle due to the economic crisis, so there was a large margin of production capacity. The Republic of China has maintained rapid growth for two decades, and production capacity has remained at a high level.  , insufficient margin.  In addition, the steel industry is an industry with long investment and return. Except for state support and oneself, not many people will invest in this field. Therefore, according to the prediction of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, 50 million is probably a peak.

    At present, in addition to traditional profiles and shipbuilding steel, Anshan Iron and Steel's main product is to manufacture standard land containers.  The land standard container was invented by Yang Qiu, mainly because there are currently no suitable flatbed trucks, and even if there is a technological breakthrough, the roads cannot keep up with these big guys.  This kind of container is slightly smaller than the half container of later generations.  It is completely manufactured according to the body standards of a ten-wheel heavy truck.  The standard load capacity of each box is 25 tons, and the maximum load is 4 tons.

    Container manufacturing is not complicated. After the rolling machine rolls the steel plates into corrugated shapes, the master workers use the riveting assembly method (riveting is simple and can be disassembled and reassembled when needed), add the bottom of the forklift, and finally use white paint to paint eye-catching  Just number it.

    "How many can you make per month now?"

    "According to the current progress, we can produce 10,000 TEUs here per month. With the addition of Guangdong, Hangzhou, Anqing and Heilongjiang, 40,000 TEUs per month will not be a problem." The person who introduced Yang Qiu was the North Industries Group.  A famous military industry expert in history is now the director of the technical department of Northern Group: "We will purchase two new rolling machines next month. By then, the scale will be expanded to 15,000 per month."

    "It's a little less." Yang Qiu raised his finger to Jia Xiaohou and Gu Weijun who accompanied the inspection: "Container transportation not only saves costs, but also speeds up, so we have to continue to increase production. I estimate that Guangzhongya's monthly  Just 1.5 million rolls are needed. After you go back, let all the factories with roller mills in the country invest in it. This thing is not complicated. We must increase the production capacity to 100,000 per month. In addition, we must urge the Navy Ministry and various shipyards to  Large containers and special transport ships must also speed up. Marshall has seen our containers last time and asked to sell a set of equipment to go back and study. So we must rush to formulate detailed container standards before the United States. Not only us, but also us in the future  All terminal facilities in radiation areas must also be constructed in accordance with this standard. Only in this way can we ensure that all countries will converge on our standards for forklifts, box specifications, terminals and gantry cranes and other equipment in the future."

    Although Yang Qiu no longer needs to consider re-election.  But cabinet adjustments must be made. Although Wang Zhengting, the Taiping Prime Minister, is good, he is not as smooth as Gu Weijun in foreign relations. As the world situation becomes more and more mysterious.  Gu Weijun relied on his accumulated diplomacy and personal connections 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 container matter, Yang Qiu focused on the track-laying trucks and dump trucks.  After all, no matter how powerful the container is, it still needs to be transported by rail.  There are very few railways in Central Asia. Even if the Soviet army is wiped out in this battle, it will definitely be destroyed. Therefore, if these things cannot keep up, it will be impossible for the troops to carry out large-scale and deep operations.

    After walking out of the factory, Luo Hu was already waiting at the door: "President, Minister. The task has been completed and everything has been shipped to Beijing. Before coming, Director Yan Baohang asked me to tell you that Team Leader Jin Bihui has contacted the Polish government in exile and also communicated with you.  The Polish commander in exile in France got in touch, and now there are about thirty Polish officers on their way to London."

    "Great!" Yang Qiu quietly clenched his fist.  It was important to win on his own, but he didn't want to see such a huge expense. He should always find someone to back him up to make up for it.  So he thought about it and said: "Shaochuan, let Tan Yankai take care of the container and logistics matters. You accompany Miao Luo to the United States once, just in time for Sisi to graduate. By the way, you can also bring her back. You need to contact more Polish friends this time. You can't  Let us do everything ourselves. By the way, we will inform Rutang and Ziqing, prepare a sum of money and equipment, and at least 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, a few brigades may not be enough. When this bomb breaks out, the Poles will definitely hate the Soviet Union. Moreover, Britain and France are now hostile to Poland.  The exile government and the exile army are neither cold nor indifferent, and they are not even willing to provide equipment, so if you can raise your voice, it is possible to form a legion, but I am afraid it will cost a lot of money."

    "I want as many as I want, not to mention a legion, even ten are worth it! It's better than filling in the lives of ourselves. But,?You still need to do more activities. I will ask Yan Baohang to cooperate with you and give you some Polish veterans who escaped and publicize it. Maybe the American people will suddenly be overflowing with sympathy?  "

    "Haha." Hearing Yang Qiu's joke, Gu Weijun and everyone burst into laughter.  Who wants to fight the Soviet army to the death? They all want to recruit hundreds of thousands of Polish troops to fight the Soviet army in the ice and snow of Siberia.  Besides, for such a good opportunity, even if they knew it was a scam, the Poles would be grateful.

    So Yang Qiu was joking and immediately told Gu Yu: "Go to Wuhan immediately, bring Professor Kaczmarz and Hua Luogeng, and say that I have something important and need to see him immediately. Also call Chen Shaokuan, he is not  He¡¯s been yelling all day long that I¡¯m treating the Navy badly, so what¡¯s the point of having nothing to do? Let him prepare the ship and bring me General Sikorsky and his 40,000 Polish troops who are in exile in France.¡±
