Captain Larin read out this important document related to everyone's future destiny in public.
According to Stalin's order, only three people - Yang Mingzhi, Yang Tao and Natasha - actually went to the Kremlin to meet with him.
About other people’s arrangements:
Popov and Liguschkov had to make an urgent trip to the National Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union, including all kinds of design drawings that had been shipped.
Also going to the Academy of Sciences were ten people from the "Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau" who randomly came. It is said that these ten people were students or graduates of several important universities in the Soviet Union. As members of the Lenin Communist Youth League, they were ordered to enter behind enemy lines.
, using his own knowledge to help each guerrilla zone develop its own arsenal.
All key personnel present in the design and manufacture of weapons of the Guerrilla Republic received death orders to go to the Academy of Sciences.
After all, Stalin knew about the existence of that special weapons design bureau. He obtained a large amount of evidence, and even specially submitted some German military documents. This information fully proved that this weapons design bureau had unique skills in the research and development of rocket launchers.
These people will all report to the Academy of Sciences, and the best among them will receive major honors.
"Comrade Popov and Comrade Liguschkov, after arriving at the Academy of Sciences, you will be granted honorary membership status and will receive all the benefits of full members. Then you will be entrusted with important responsibilities to contribute to the country."
Captain Larin's so-called contribution must be to continue manufacturing rocket launchers.
Yang Mingzhi glanced at Liguschkov briefly and saw that the old guy was so happy that his nose was filled with tears.
Liguschkov was indeed trembling with joy. Just imagine, a fifty-year-old guy who should have died in a swamp. His thick beard is completely different from that of city people. It seems that he should have existed in the era of Tsarist Russia and would have lived almost all his life.
There may be no reason to go to the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, the top scientific palace in the Soviet Union.
So if these people go to the Academy of Sciences, what impact will it have on me?
Yang Mingzhi held his chin and thought for a moment. He suddenly realized: "Sure enough, Stalin must be planning to let me make weapons."
Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly, someone called his name.
"General Berekov!"
"Hey, what else does Captain Larin have to do?"
"That's right. I think I should explain something clearly to you here. The leader has decided to summon you. At this time, you should also go to the Academy of Sciences. You are a rare scientist in the Alliance and an experienced person.
The general who fought. Before I came, the leader didn't reveal much to me, but I guess..."
"Is he an honorary member?" Yang Mingzhi said quickly.
"Yes, that should be the case. Just like them, you will also gain the corresponding status."
Yang Mingzhi nodded, if things developed like this, it would be within his expectation.
But where is the location of the Soviet Academy of Sciences? The future Chinese Academy of Sciences will be in the capital of China, and the Soviet Academy of Sciences should be in Moscow.
Wait a minute! Didn't Moscow carry out a large-scale evacuation last year? A large number of government agencies and factories were moved to the east in various ways, especially most of the government agencies moved to Kuibyshev.
He curiously asked: "Where is the current location of the Soviet Academy of Sciences? How long will it take to go there if you join me?"
"Its core is in the city of Novosibirsk." Captain Larin said very bluntly.
Captain Larin's words were very straightforward, and his expression was even more expressionless when he spoke. Just hearing this name, Yang Mingzhi felt a chill - Novosibirsk, the climate here is almost the same as that of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Just one word, cold.
Captain Larin continued to explain along the topic, and it was understandable why the Academy of Sciences was located in Novosibirsk.
Indeed, Novosibirsk is really cold. Fortunately, it is located in a city transformed by the Trans-Siberian Railway. The busy traffic lines provide the city with a steady stream of vitality. Let’s talk about the Tsarist Russia era and even the Soviet Union at this time, as well as the distant future, North Asia.
Without exception, big cities do not have the Siberian Railway running through them, such as the extremely cold Krasnoyarsk.
Before the outbreak of the war, in addition to the main institute in Moscow, the Academy of Sciences also had the Far Eastern Branch and the Ural Branch. The two branches were relatively independent of the main institute in Moscow and conducted independent scientific research.
With the outbreak of the war, the Soviet Academy of Sciences also joined the tide of retreat eastward. As for where to locate the main academy, the Soviet authorities chose the city of Novosibirsk.
In terms of population alone, Novosibirsk can be described as a big city. Her geographical location is in the middle of the Soviet Union. The newly formed armies from the East will pass through here and enter the European battlefield. Of course, the United States passes through the North Pacific
The strategic materials transported by the route eventually passed through this city and continued to be transported westward to the battlefield.
Its value is not just that. With the sudden influx of a large number of immigrants, it is the largest industrial city in the central Soviet Union. Of course, in terms of industrial output alone, it cannot compare with cities such as Kharkiv and Stalingrad before the war.
The brutal war caused the Soviet Union to lose a large number of its elite areas. The city of Novosibirsk's "blood-making" ability became increasingly important as the war continued.
Cities also had to expand, and tens of thousands of refugees from the west began to evacuate to the east.
Originally, during the Tsarist Russia period, the Tsarist Russian authorities had relatively limited development in North Asia and the Far East. It was too cold there, and even the Russians, who claimed not to be afraid of it, had to think twice about the extreme cold.
The war broke out, and the refugees who had nothing left longed for a peaceful environment. Soon, cities east of Moscow and west of the Ural Mountains were filled with a large number of refugees. The heavy population pressure forced the Soviet authorities to call on the people to cross the mountains and continue to immigrate to the east.
Just like China's strategic shift in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union started their strategic shift in 1941.
The first factor that the people long for is security. As for the "Great Eastern Development" that was launched by the way, that is a matter for later.
Especially technicians with a high degree of knowledge, their role became more and more prominent during the war. Those workers who are full of knowledge about mechanical manufacturing and rich in steel smelting must move to industrial cities to exert their own value.
Therefore, for the relocating Soviet Academy of Sciences, the idea of transferring it to the Ural Branch was canceled due to the opposition of the branch. It was transferred to the Far East Branch. The situation there was not peaceful. In 1941, the future situation was not yet determined. Who can guarantee that Germany and Japan
Wouldn't they all work together to attack the Soviet Union? Even if there are millions of Soviet troops in the Far East, they are not afraid of the Japanese army.
Moving to Novosibirsk is obviously the best choice.
According to the original historical process, the Soviet Union established a branch in Novosibirsk in 1944, and then established research institutions in Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Tyumen and other places, totaling as many as 76 research institutes.
In this plane, the historical process here has been advanced by a whole year.
After some wrangling, the scientists finally got the arbitration from Stalin himself. He picked up a pen and wrote directly that the wartime address of the Academy of Sciences was in Novosibirsk.
In this way, the Academy of Sciences added a Siberian branch, which began construction in the spring of 1944. A large number of scientific experts have been working there since the summer. Although the conditions are relatively simple, the pressure of the war has disappeared. Many researchers do not have to worry about the impact of the war on themselves.
Potential threats, such as never having to worry about enemy bombing, everyone is obsessed with research.
For scientists, research on war-related topics comes first. They develop new explosives to enhance Soviet weapons and equipment. They develop new equipment in an attempt to surpass the German army in military technology.
The Soviet authorities had a strong interest in rocket launchers as early as the 1920s. Today's Katyusha and other rocket launchers can deliver terrifying blows to the enemy in a short period of time, but they must solve one problem - short legs.
Nicknamed "Flying Fish", it was developed by the unknown "Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau" and put into actual combat. As soon as his information came out, it immediately aroused strong interest from the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Since these two mysterious men, Liguschkov and Popov, understand the entire production process, they deserve high honors.
The Academy of Sciences has its own ethics. They consider those who have made great contributions to the scientific development of the Soviet Union and grant them honorary membership status. The committee has its own power. Of course, the Academy of Sciences' ideas are surprisingly consistent with the attitude of the Supreme Soviet headed by Stalin.
After all, the range reaches forty kilometers, which is the range of a large-caliber naval gun! The ten coastal forts in Sevastopol that have now been lost, they frantically bombarded the German army more than thirty kilometers away, which was almost the end of the German army's early advance in the campaign.
The direct reason. In the end, the German army also used the same model to build a Dora train gun that required 1,500 people to serve, and blew up the fort with ultra-long-distance bombardment.
No matter what delivery method is used, if the artillery shell is sent to the enemy's head forty kilometers away, then it is a big winner.
Yang Mingzhi felt the call of Novosibirsk, and maybe that was his future destination. But it was too far away from the battlefield!
Although it is a good thing to be away from the war, what about the promise? Yang Mingzhi felt that if he was demolished by Stalin and moved to Siberia, he might stay there for the rest of his life.
Siberia was a bitter and cold place where prisoners were exiled. No matter how important its strategic value was during the war, he felt an indescribable depression that made him really unhappy.
But he couldn't have any doubts. In the Soviet Union, personal freedom was relatively limited. He was a soldier, and it was his duty to obey Stalin, the supreme military commander.
On the big list, the most important ones are these scientific workers, followed by three military officers.
Lavrenti, Yevgeny and Balzen all received promotion orders.
This aspect was exactly as Yang Mingzhi estimated. The three of them were directly promoted to colonels and served as commanders of the newly formed infantry division.
The Soviet Union's combat strength on the Eastern Front was 5.3 million at its lowest point. The Soviet army always suffered heavy losses in wars. However, the country had a huge population and recruited millions of female combat soldiers. When the Soviet army counterattacked,
The counterattack reached the national border. At this time, the military strength easily exceeded 6 million.
Throughout the four years of the Patriotic War, the Soviet Army recruited a total of 20 million troops. No matter whether the war was victorious or whether officers and soldiers were dead or alive, 20 million people served during the war. There were many soldiers and more officers were needed. Division Commander One
Senior military officers are also in high demand.
Therefore, many low-ranking officers were often promoted due to their military exploits. After they died, new junior officers were promoted again. Unfortunately, most of these officers lacked the experience of commanding large troops. Objectively speaking, almost every battle involved Soviet casualties.
There are objective reasons why it can’t be done.
Then officers with sufficient ability to command larger armies are of self-evident value.
Anyway, during the battle to defend the city of Lechica, Lavrenti and Yevgeny jointly commanded almost all the main forces of the guerrilla republic, and the strength once reached 12,000 people. What is this concept? Today's Soviet army has almost
There are no neatly organized infantry divisions, and each infantry division may have a resounding designation. However, the logistics troops have to be used as front-line combat infantry. A troop strength of 7,000 is excellent.
In a sense, Lavrenty and Yevgeny have the ability to command an army.
As for Balzen, of course Yang Mingzhi has never been optimistic about this guy's ability to command large troops. He learned many excellent skills and provided many clever ideas during the Battle of Kovpak. However, he also had many misdeeds, causing heavy casualties to the troops.
.
Yang Mingzhi obviously raised the standard too high!
In the Soviet infantry divisions of this time and space, do the division commanders have any special tactics? Almost none! Their tactics are actually just one. After receiving the order to attack, they will attack crazily, even if they rush into the enemy's artillery and machine gun fire network, they will eventually suffer casualties.
No matter how wrong you are, you pay half the price. In comparison, people like Balzen can be regarded as masters of tactics!
When they heard the promotion order read out by Captain Dalin, the three newly promoted division commanders, who had experienced hundreds of battles, were not as ecstatic as Liguschkov.
The reason is so simple!
As a division commander, you will inevitably lead 10,000 people into battle, and you will also obey the new leadership's command.
When Lavrenti and Yevgeny heard the order, they were not excited at first, but looked at Yang Mingzhi with complicated eyes. Everyone knew that General Berekov had now left the 6th Army, and the real power of command was handed over to Yevlov.
Major General, then he himself has completely lost his military power, and his destination is probably to engage in weapons research and development.
In terms of their comrades-in-arms alone, Lavrenty and Yevgeny had extremely sincere feelings for Yang Mingzhi, and they seemed like brothers to each other. They had been his subordinates since the end of 1940, and from their initial doubts to their later trust, they became
After two years of sharing life and death together, and countless fierce battles together, are we really leaving now?!
They didn't see any change in the general's expression. Maybe the general had mixed emotions in his heart.
Putting aside these thoughts from an emotional perspective, as a division commander, it is inevitable to lead new brothers to fight on the front line.
With only combat experience, the three of them are really experienced! After all, the German 100th Army is now the combat unit of the German 9th Army. They fought head-on with the Western Front and were inseparable in the fierce battle in late August.
The three newly promoted division commanders are not afraid of this annoying 100th Army at all. Those tens of thousands of people are simply idiots in street fighting. Their combat effectiveness is almost based on sufficient reserves of artillery shells. Without artillery, the combat effectiveness of tens of thousands of people is a mess.
But the three of them despised the enemy and were inevitably very worried about their future. In the street fighting in the Lechica defense battle, the 100th Army suffered heavy casualties and could inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. That was because the Guerrilla Republic dispatched almost all its veterans.
Some Soviet soldiers had experienced hundreds of battles. That battle could be described as elite versus new recruits. So far, the elite troops of the Guerrilla Republic had suffered heavy casualties. The 100th Army, which had been pampered in France for half a year, had gone through the fierce battle of Lechica and the Battle of Rzhev.
After Vyazma's failed attack, the grassroots soldiers should become resourceful.
Looking back at my future, I am afraid that I will have a group of mobilization troops who have been training for only three weeks. Maybe they will be filled with a large number of Yakuts, Kazakhs, etc.
They knew without even thinking that their future career would be a narrow escape, and they would have to pit new recruits against German veterans, so the battlefield would be even more variable.
But we are all soldiers, and we are all soldiers named by Stalin. Even if we sacrifice our lives, we must defend the alliance. No one can forget what they saw and heard in Belarus, especially those who saw mass graves, Barr
Cenba longed for more opportunities to avenge his compatriots.
They were not excited, they only had their duty in mind, and the melancholy of parting with the old chief. (To be continued)
