The car door opened, and Xu Rui's figure got out of the car.
At this time, Savushkin couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
At that moment, Savushkin could only come forward with a smile on his face, shake hands with Xu Rui enthusiastically and exchange greetings. In any case, Comrade Stalin clearly issued the highest instructions. Comrade Xu Rui is a friend of the Soviet Union, and to his friends,
The Soviet Union has always been very generous and enthusiastic, and Savushkin cannot disobey the leader's instructions.
After the greetings, Xu Rui's eyes immediately turned to the Voroshilov Fortress, especially when he saw the two triple-mounted Frunze-class battleship cannons, his eyes shone and he asked: "Comrade Savushkin?
, this is the triple main gun removed from the Frunze-class battleship, right? It is indeed a cannon, and it looks very powerful!"
Savushkin could not understand Mandarin and looked confused after hearing this.
It wasn't until after listening to Cherev's translation that Savushkin said with great pride: "Yes, with these two Frunze-class battleships equipped with triple main guns, the Japanese Navy's battleships should not even think of approaching within thirty nautical miles of Vladivostok."
!”
"Really?" Xu Rui curled his lips and said suddenly, "But it's of no use."
After a pause, Xu Rui said disdainfully: "Because no matter how powerful the shore artillery of Voroshilov Fortress is, it can only defend against attacks from the sea, but it has nothing to do against attacks from land!"
Savushkin immediately fell silent upon hearing this, which was also the most depressing thing for him.
Xu Rui did not let it go lightly, but continued to give Savushkin a critical hit of 10,000 points: "The Japanese Far Eastern Front has stationed heavy troops on the border of Primorsky Krai. As long as the Japanese army is willing, they can occupy it in two days.
Border area! Within five days at most, the ice-free military port of Vladivostok will belong to the Japanese Navy!"
Savushkin was a little annoyed by Xu Rui's ridicule and snorted: "Comrade Xu Rui, are you here today specifically to ridicule Comrade Cherev and me and embarrass us both?"
"Taunting you?" Xu Rui said angrily, "Do you think I'm so idle?"
Savushkin said extremely depressed: "Okay, then what do you do?"
"I came here this time just to discuss joint defense with you!" Xu Rui said.
"Joint defense?" Cherev was stunned when he heard this, and then translated Xu Rui's words to Savushkin.
"United defense?" Savushkin was also stunned when he heard this. He really had never thought about this question, but he quickly came to his senses and shook his head and said, "Comrade Xu Rui, I'm afraid it won't work. We can ask you to resist the alliance."
Secretly provide a batch of weapons and ammunition, but we must not cooperate openly, because doing so will anger the Japanese army and provoke an attack by the Japanese army!"
"Provoking Japan will lead to attack?" Xu Rui said suddenly, "Comrade Savushkin, the Japanese are greedy by nature. Do you think there is any difference between provoking them or not provoking them?"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Provoking the Japanese army will lead to an attack by the Japanese army, but if you compromise and tolerate every possible means, can Primorsky Krai be protected from attack? Comrade Savushkin, if you really think so, then I will only
I can tell you that the pattern is broken! Your thinking is too simple!"
Savushkin was a little confused when he was told that he was confused and asked blankly: "What do you mean?"
Xu Rui looked around and asked with a smile: "Comrade Savushkin, you are not planning to entertain your friends here, are you?"
Only then did Savushkin wake up from a dream. He quickly took Xu Rui back to the Vladivostok headquarters and asked Xu Rui if he wanted to drink coffee or vodka. Xu Rui asked for a cup of vodka.
After a few glasses of vodka, Savushkin's chatterbox opened up.
"Comrade Xu Rui, don't deny it. You just came here to ask for benefits, right?" Savushkin pointed at Xu Rui and continued, "Tell me, how many benefits do you want? As long as I can give you. , I will definitely give it!”
After a pause after saying this, Savushkin looked back at Cherev and said: "Actually, I had foreseen that this day would come as early as when your new regiment first moved into Wujiashan Fortress. , I have even prepared supplies for you, a complete set of Soviet weapons for a regiment, how about it? Am I a good enough friend?"
Xu Rui waved his hand and said: "Comrade Savushkin, you are wrong. I really am not here to get benefits!"
"Are you really not here to ask for benefits?" Seeing Xu Rui shaking his head in refusal, Savushkin immediately became confused again.
Xu Rui nodded and said: "I really came here to discuss joint defense with you, really."
"As for this matter, I told you before at Voroshilov Fortress that it is a bit sensitive." Savushkin said awkwardly, "If the Chinese and Soviet armies really launch a joint defense, they will definitely Triggering a backlash from the Japanese military, the Japanese government may even use this as an excuse to tear up the non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union!"
Cherev also said: "Now the Soviet-German war has broken out in full force, and the Soviet army is in a bad situation. If it starts a war with the Japanese army again at this time, the Soviet Union's situation will be even more difficult." After a pause, he added, "So, Comrade Xu Rui, it’s not that we don’t want to engage in joint defense with your new regiment, it’s that this pass is too sensitive.”
Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have to give you lessons."
"Class?" After listening to Cherev's translation, Savushkin said blankly, "What class?"
"International politics and military class!" Xu Rui said, "Comrade Savushkin, Comrade Cherev, your understanding of international politics and military is really too superficial. I think it is necessary for me to give you a systematic introduction to today's world. The political structure, and the military struggles caused by politics!”
Savushkin thought he was going to sigh loudly, but he said: "Comrade Xu Rui, please tell me."
Xu Rui first asked: "Comrade Savushkin, let me ask you first, why did Japan launch a war of aggression against China? Why did the German army launch a war of aggression?"
"I know this." Savushkin said, "Plunder resources!"
"That's why I said that your understanding of international politics is too superficial." Xu Rui shook his finger and said, "The plundering of resources is just a symptom. The fundamental purpose of Japan and Germany launching aggressive wars is to break the existing order. And then re-establish a world order that is beneficial to them."
Savushkin said with a confused face: "World order?"
"That's right, order!" Xu Rui said, "The battle for order, or the battle for rules!"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "In today's world, almost all colonies have been divided up by the two old hegemons, Britain and France. As the rising powers, Germany and Japan must obtain resources from the colonies of Britain and France. Paying a very high price, this is the first level of exploitation; after obtaining resources, Germany and Japan produced industrial products and sold them to the colonies of Britain and France for profit, but they were imposed high tariffs by Britain and France. This is the second level of exploitation. Double exploitation.”
"Under heavy exploitation, Germany and Japan were almost unprofitable, but Britain and France were able to share most of Germany and Japan's profits without doing anything. This situation will definitely not be reconciled to the industrial strength of Germany and Japan in later generations.
!”
(Digression: In the past few years, China's situation was the same as that of rising Germany and Japan. The prices of resources that China bought increased, and the prices of industrial products that China sold fell sharply. This is because of the decline of the entire world.
The power to formulate order or rules is in the hands of the Western camp, and China can only work for them, so China launched the Belt and Road Initiative, because the Belt and Road Initiative is actually a new world order.)
Xu Rui added: "When the world economy was still good, although Germany and Japan were unhappy, they could still get by, so they would not take great political risks to rise up to resist. But when the world economy went down and the crisis broke out, the old brands such as Britain and France
Powerful countries can also rely on the benefits of order to pass the crisis to other countries, but Germany and Japan will only be exploited more severely. At this time, if they don't want to sit back and die, they can only rise up and resist! Forcibly break the existing order!"
"It is precisely because of this that Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, because it wanted to monopolize the Chinese market and dump its industrial products that were no longer competitive in the international market! Similarly, Germany also launched a second European war.
The purpose of the war is to monopolize the entire European market and dump industrial products produced in Germany."
Savushkin and Cherev had a feeling of enlightenment.
It turns out that the Japanese army’s all-out invasion of China and Germany’s launch of the Second European War were essentially a battle for order!
However, Savushkin still had a question that he couldn't figure out, and asked: "So, why did Germany and Japan launch wars against the Soviet Union one after another? We, the Soviets, are not the guardians of the world order! Isn't it innocent?"
"This involves another issue." Xu Rui nodded and said, "A military issue!"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "If rising powers such as Germany and Japan want to break the existing world order, the resistance is very huge. Pure political means alone will definitely not work, so they must be supplemented by military means! So!
After the outbreak of the worldwide economic crisis, Germany and Japan unanimously vigorously developed their military industry, firstly to expand their arms and prepare for war, and secondly, to survive the economic crisis. On the surface, this is indeed a good way."
"The economies of Germany and Japan have indeed prospered again as a result."
"However, this abnormal prosperity is just drinking poison to quench thirst."
"Because once the war machine is started, it can no longer be stopped! Just like a beast that has tasted human flesh, it will be difficult to resist the temptation of human flesh. Therefore, after the end of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army immediately aimed their troops at
After occupying Europe, the German army also launched a war against the Soviet Union!"
"In short, Germany and Japan have entered a deformed state that relies on war to support war. They can only continue to wage wars with foreign countries, and it is impossible to stop them. The final result is that the two countries will destroy the entire world.
Or their two countries will be destroyed, and there is no third possibility!
