Chapter 1658 Sold Fu Zuoyi (asking for a monthly pass)
"Transportation!" Leng Tiefeng said, "The biggest dilemma of the Soviet Red Army now is that the transportation channels are not smooth. The only Siberian Railway has low transportation capacity, and it is also subject to intermittent bombing by Japanese aviation. There is no way to protect the Far East.
The logistics of the Western Front Corps on the battlefield also led to the lack of intensity in the attack of the Soviet Red Army’s Western Front Corps.”
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "Because the Soviet troops on the Western Front were weak in attack, they were unable to form an effective pincer offensive with the Eastern Front Corps. Therefore, they were unable to tear apart the Japanese Chita Defense Line.
If they are not separated for a day, the Soviet Eastern Front Army and the Western Front Army will not be able to join forces, and there will be no way to deploy troops and materials."
"That's right!" Xu Rui nodded and said, "Veteran, your judgment is very correct. It was precisely because the Japanese army nailed Chita and cut off the Siberian Railway, the main artery, that the two major clusters of the Soviet Red Army's Far East Front were destroyed.
The lack of a way to merge gave the Japanese army the opportunity to fight the Soviet army in a stalemate with fewer troops and fewer resources."
"Yes." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "The Soviet army that entered the battlefield in the Far East far exceeded the Japanese army in terms of strength and supplies, but it still ended in a bad battle. After Zhukov took office, there was not much
The main reason for the big change is that the two major clusters on the Eastern and Western Fronts cannot form a joint force. To put it simply, the troops on the Western Front cannot reach the Eastern Front, and the materials on the Eastern Front cannot reach the Western Front. This gives the Kwantung Army a huge advantage.
Chance."
Xu Rui said: "But this situation is not irreversible."
"Reverse?" Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said, "I can't think of any other way to help the Soviet army reverse the current transportation dilemma and build another railway in the permafrost zone north of Chita?"
"Bullshit." Xu Rui said angrily, "Of course it's impossible to build a railway."
Leng Tiefeng said: "Then what else can we do? There is no way at all."
"Veteran, don't let your fixed thinking limit your thinking, use your imagination." Xu Rui said, "If you think carefully, you will definitely be able to come up with a solution."
Leng Tiefeng really started thinking.
After a while, Leng Tiefeng said again: "The biggest dilemma facing the Soviet army at the moment is transportation capacity. The most difficult one is how to transport military supplies from the Eastern Front battlefield to the Western Front. Once millions of Soviets gather on the Western Front battlefield,
The army will receive continuous and sufficient supplies and will explode into terrifying combat power. At that time, the attack of the Soviet army's western front cluster will form a Thor's hammer, smashing the Kwantung Army's Chita defense line in one fell swoop with unstoppable momentum."
Xu Rui's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he was very close to the answer.
Leng Tiefeng added: "But the problem is that the Siberian Railway has been cut off, and materials from the east line cannot be transported at all, and materials from Europe cannot be transported. But if an industrial base can be established in Siberia on the west line, or in Mongolia
, which can greatly alleviate the pressure on transportation.”
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "However, Siberia and Mongolia are vast and sparsely populated, with only such a small population. Not to mention heavy industry, even light industry cannot support it, so in the end, it is better to
We can only rely on the Siberian Railway to transport supplies from Europe, which is the same dilemma we faced before."
"Is it true that we can only transport supplies from Europe?" Xu Rui asked again, "Veteran, think again."
Leng Tiefeng really frowned and started thinking. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said very excitedly: "Think of it, Siberia does not have enough population, but we have people in China! Not to mention the whole of China, even Baotou can gather them in one place and one corner.
There is a sufficient population for heavy industry, which means that the Soviet government can consider building an industrial base in Baotou. In this way, the military supplies produced in Baotou can be continuously sent to the west of Chita through camel teams, horse teams and even roads.
On the front battlefield, the millions of Soviet troops gathered on the Western Front will have material support!"
"Clever!" Xu Rui touched the back of Leng Tiefeng's head and said with a smile, "Sure enough, I still made you think of it."
"Let's go!" Leng Tiefeng slapped Xu Rui's hand away and said with a frown, "It's just that the Soviet government won't ask us to cooperate on such a big thing, right? If they really want to cooperate, they will definitely find the Kuomintang, so
It is impossible for this industrial base to be built in Baotou, and it will probably be built in Wuyuan or Guisui in the end."
"Guisui is impossible." Xu Rui said with a sly smile, "Guisui is too close to Datong and Zhangjiakou, so it is easy to be attacked. If we put the industrial base there, wouldn't it be delivering food to the little devils?"
After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "Wuyuan is also impossible, because Wuyuan's population is insufficient!"
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said, "But the National Government will definitely try its best to obstruct it!"
"The Nationalist government will definitely obstruct it." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "But it is not inevitable. We seek to cooperate with the Soviet government. This is a state-to-state exchange. This is definitely not possible. Don't call us an independent group.
, even the Yan'an Border Region does not have the authority, but it is okay for us to sell some military supplies to the Soviet army, right?"
Leng Tiefeng nodded and said: "Of course it is possible. No one can stop private trade, right?"
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng continued: "But the problem is, what you want to sell is not some military supplies."
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, can't your brain turn around? At the beginning, the scale of cooperation can be smaller. We only provide military supplies such as quilts and uniforms to the Soviet army, and then we can expand it to provide canned cattle and sheep, and then help.
The Soviet army repaired firearms, tanks, etc., and in the end, it directly provided finished weapons and equipment."
Leng Tiefeng was stunned when he heard this. How could such an operation be possible? It was simply a divine operation!
"This is called boiling a frog in warm water." Xu Rui chuckled, "By the time the Nationalist Government and Chairman Chiang discovered something was wrong, Baotou's industrial base had been built, and cooperation with the Soviet Army had become a fait accompli. At that time, the Nationalist Government
It’s useless for the government and Chairman Chiang to object, haha.”
Leng Tiefeng said: "So, is it really possible to achieve a business tax of one million per year?"
"Commercial tax is only a small part of it." Xu Rui said cheerfully, "The arms trade with the Soviet army is the big part. This is the real money-making business! It's like making money every day!"
Xu Rui would not tell Leng Tiefeng that in a year or less, Germany would go to war with the Soviet Union, and in the first few months it would be overwhelming, annihilating more than five million Soviet Red Army troops, and conquering Soviet industries in Europe.
Base, the Soviet Union will be in great trouble at that time. If the industrial base in Baotou is built, the Soviet government will definitely purchase weapons and equipment from Baotou regardless of cost, and the price will not be negotiated.
Based on this alone, their independent group can make crazy money!
However, the most important thing is that once the industrial base in Baotou is built, our party and our army will benefit the most. Even Fu Zuoyi's Sui Army, Yan Xishan's Jin Army and Chairman Chiang's Central Army will also benefit to a certain extent. Then
At that time, the equipment level of the Eighth Route Army will be several levels higher than that of the same period in history.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and we don’t know what will happen in the end.
But then again, even if it only establishes a light industrial base for the production of quilts, shoes and hats in Baotou, it will be enough for the Chahar Independent Group to make a lot of money. In short, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
Leng Tiefeng shook his head and said, "I seem to see Fu Zuoyi crying there."
"Crying?" Xu Rui said in amusement, "Where is this? The real thing that makes Fu Zuoyi cry is still behind."
"Is there anything more powerful?" Leng Tiefeng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Old Xu, tell me, what else is there?"
"Didn't I just say that there are two major advantages to exchanging Guisui for Baotou, one of which is that Baotou is suitable for building an industrial base." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "The second advantage is that Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army
You don’t take a penny from us, but you must shoulder the important mission and responsibility of protecting Baotou’s safety!”
"What?" Leng Tiefeng plucked his ears and said confused, "I didn't quite understand."
Xu Rui said: "Let's assume that if the industrial base in Baotou is built, how will the Japanese react?"
"Does that need to be said?" Leng Tiefeng said angrily, "The Japanese will definitely become anxious when they find out, and they will definitely send out heavy troops to sweep them away, and they will definitely do their best to destroy them at all costs. After all, this is not only related to the security of North China.
It is even more related to the success or failure of the Far East Campaign, and it is even related to the national destiny of Japan."
Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Then look at the map again. If the Japanese want to invade Baotou, which way will they take?"
Leng Tiefeng really looked at the map, and then said in a deep voice: "If the Japanese invade Baotou, the cavalry group can come from Chahar in the north, but the infantry group can only march along the Pingsui Railway or Pingsui Highway."
Speaking of this, Leng Tiefeng's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Then Guisui will bear the brunt!"
Xu Rui said: "In other words, if the Japanese want to invade Baotou, they must pass through Guisui."
Leng Tiefeng then said: "In other words, no matter whether Fu Zuoyi is willing or not, once the Japanese invade in a large scale, their 35th Army will have to fight with the Japanese to death, because he is the chairman of Suiyuan Province, if he dares not to fire a shot
He gave the order to abandon Guisui, and the spittle of the people of the whole country could drown him."
Xu Rui said: "At this time, Fu Zuoyi will really cry."
"Damn it." Leng Tiefeng pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Old Xu, you are too insidious. Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie were sold by you and they didn't even know it, and they were still helping happily.
You're counting the money." After he finished speaking, he took two steps back and said angrily, "I have to stay away from you, but I don't want you to sell it accidentally."
"Get out of here!" Xu Rui cursed with a smile, and then said, "However, it is not easy to accomplish this. I'm afraid I have to go to Kulun or Kyaktu to talk to Zhukov in person."
