Chapter 292: Casting stones to ask for directions
The sun passed low across the western sky, and the slanting sunlight had lost much of its temperature, and could only slightly dye the top of the mountain red. It disappeared in an instant! The soldiers of the guard company had returned, laden with prey and recounting everything they saw.
Hu Zhiyong suddenly remembered that it had only been a day since he set out. In this difficult, cold area and complex ground, he could only go more than a hundred miles at most! The east side of the Zeya River was more than a hundred kilometers away, not far from Hailanpao!
"Occupy this area, occupy all the areas south of this mountain!" Hu Zhiyong smiled evilly. The Soviet Union and he had clearly defined the western and northern boundaries, and it seemed that there was no accurate positioning here.
More than a hundred miles north, the area unknowingly expanded to more than 800 square kilometers. At night, Hu Zhiyong and Hou Dashun discussed map modification, printing, border defense system and other issues.
It's an uninhabited land, so that's just right. Hu Zhiyong is developing it with great fanfare, and when Lao Maozi comes to visit, he has the map as evidence. It doesn't matter if you reason with it or start a fight, I won't give it to you for this piece of land!
The next day, Hu Zhiyong and his men began to head east. More than a hundred miles away from Komsomolsk, they stopped for inspection again. Listening to the data reported by the experts, Hu Zhiyong sighed: "For two hundred years, Soviet military occupation
Tens of millions of square kilometers of territory cannot be exploited and developed because of population and transportation!"
The Far East is rich in mineral resources, but the harsh climate makes it a headache for those who possess it. Hu Zhiyong now rules here and wants to extract the scarce minerals as soon as possible.
During the war in Europe, many people left their homes and fled to Hong Kong and Shanghai. Hu Zhiyong took these people to the Far East by ship, and took advantage of the most suitable climate from April to September to start large-scale road construction, farming and mineral mining.
Unconsciously, a month has passed, and it is approaching August of the 40th year. The railways are all connected, and the highways are basically completed. Hu Zhiyong has used all the personnel to build the city, and will complete the first phase of the new city construction plan before the winter comes.
From August 24th to September 6th, the German army dispatched an average of more than 1,000 aircraft every day, relying on their numerical advantage to fight against the already very tired Royal Air Force pilots. Although the British had advanced radar technology, they still lost a quarter.
air force pilot.
However, Germany decided to change its strategy at a critical moment. They began to bombard major British cities, hoping to destroy the enemy's confidence and make the enemy surrender quickly. This provided British pilots with a chance to breathe.
However, the bombing also had a serious impact on the UK. Almost all major industrial towns in the UK were attacked. London was bombed for 57 consecutive nights from September 7 to November 3. Other cities that were attacked included the industrial city Kaoru.
Ventry and Birmingham, as well as some ports and naval bases, etc.
At this time, the sales of food and medicine in Tianhua Kingdom increased, and dozens of transport planes were dispatched to Europe almost every day. In particular, cigarettes, alcohol, and fast food accounted for two-thirds of the goods.
On November 14, two squadrons of He111s from the 100th Battalion participated in the bombing of the British city of Coventry. The formation relied on the "X-wax paste" radio navigation equipment to guide it to the target and dropped bombs, turning the city center into a sea of flames.
It marked the target direction for the subsequent large fleet.
449 other planes dropped 394 tons of bombs, 56 tons of incendiary bombs and 127 time bombs, killing 554 people, injuring 864 people, damaging 50,000 homes and 500 shops, and causing 12 aircraft parts factories to reduce production by 20%.
Utilities were paralyzed for 35 days, and it was called the prototype of a modern strategic bombing.
Hu Zhiyong returned to Phoenix City, and he was watching the changes in the US government's decisions.
The new year is coming again, and Hu Zhiyong just realized that his judgment was wrong!
Both Britain and Germany were requesting orders, and the large number of aircraft and tank orders made Hu Zhiyong smile bitterly. Fortunately, many parts for passenger planes, fighter jets, and bombers are common. Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Komsomolsk took full action to ensure that all parts were shipped within two months.
Order completed!
It was March, and it was strange that Roosevelt had not proposed a leasing bill to Congress. After careful consideration, he laughed loudly: "The path I am taking now, this shrewd president feels embarrassed to compete with me for share?"
It's not that Roosevelt felt embarrassed, but that he didn't have good transport planes, nor did he have better weapons than Hu Zhiyong. The supplies Hu Zhiyong purchased from the United States had already benefited them!
All factories on Jeju Island have been built, with only four twenty-story buildings, which will take another two years to complete. The airport runway on Thitu Island in Hainan has been completed and can take off large bombers and park hundreds of fighter jets.
The all-out crude oil extraction has begun to be refined, and power plants, fertilizer plants, and chemical plants have all seen products. After refining a large amount of rare earths, waste soil has covered the top of the five-story building with a thickness of five meters.
Thitu Island has changed its appearance. It looks like an island industrial city from a distance. Especially at night, the bright lights show off its charm in the starry sky. Most of the warships evacuated, leaving only one destroyer and four missile boats.
On constant patrol.
"Time flies so fast!" Hu Zhiyong was a seventeen-year-old child when he came to the Republic of China. In the blink of an eye, he was already 27 years old. The youngest of the six children was already seven years old.
The last batch of tanks was sent out, and Hu Zhiyong received a message from the intelligence agency: "Germany has begun to transport troops to the northeast!"
On June 22, 1941, Germany assembled an unprecedentedly huge force, including 190 divisions including its slave countries, 3,712 tanks, 7,184 artillery pieces, 600,000 transport vehicles and 4,950 aircraft, totaling 5.5 million people.
, launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, the military operation was codenamed Barbarossa, and the Soviet-German War began.
In order to implement Hitler's combat intentions, the German General Staff immediately began to formulate a specific action plan for the war against the Soviet Union. The main contents of the plan were: 1. Before the end of the war against Britain, a quick campaign would take place within one and a half to two months.
Defeat the Soviet Union within a short period of time; second, first use a surprise attack to annihilate the troops in the western military districts of the Soviet Union so that they cannot retreat to the interior.
Then, with the tank force as the forerunner and supplemented by air force support, they attacked the Soviet hinterland in three directions and occupied Moscow, Leningrad and Donbas. Hitler said proudly: "Plan Barbarossa has begun, and the destruction of Moscow has begun."
Not far away!”
"Okay, the little devils will take action immediately! Stop the transportation of goods to Southeast Asia and evacuate women and children. Those who stay on the islands must hide and wait for news of the attack!" Hu Zhiyong believed that in order to cooperate with Germany's alliance agreement, the little devils must
Implement the plan to bomb US military ports!
"yes!"
General Hartl implemented the "Barbarossa Plan" and launched a lightning attack on the Soviet Union from three directions: the north, center, and south, resulting in the Soviet army's defeat and heavy losses. Hitler threatened to capture Moscow before Christmas of that year.
The "Northern Army Group" consisted of 29 divisions and an armored group, led by Field Marshal Li Bo. It set out from East Prussia and swept through the Baltic countries before capturing Leningrad.
"Army Group Center" has 58 divisions and two armored groups, led by Field Marshal Bock, starting from the area east of Warsaw and approaching Moscow through Brest, Minsk, and Smolensk.
The "Army Group South" consists of 47 divisions and an armored group, led by Field Marshal Rundstedt, and attacks Ukraine and the Donets Basin from Lublin to the mouth of the Danube.
There are also 24 divisions as strategic reserves. The three armies formed a "Trident" offensive to eliminate the main force of the Soviet army from the West Dvina River to the west of the Dnieper River, and advance to the Arkhangelsk line before winter came, ending the war.
.
The Soviet Red Army is in a relatively vulnerable period. The Great Purge caused the Soviet Army to lose a large number of outstanding mid-level and senior officers. The mechanization level of the army is far lower than that of Germany, and its combat methods are also relatively backward. However, the Soviet Army also has 303 divisions with a total of 5.37 million people.
The immense power of man.
Germany had the advantage of tanks and self-propelled artillery, and suddenly the Soviet defense line collapsed. The Soviet blitzkrieg launched against Germany was caught off guard, resulting in heavy losses for the Soviet army in the early stages of the war. The "Eastern Front" established by the Soviet Union before the war was destroyed by German tanks.
They ran over it and lost a large area of land.
Soviet Ambassador Bodlov came and offered to solve the northern border issue. Hu Zhiyong was surprised when he received the telegram: "Isn't he here to ask for supplies?"
"No. Podlov recognizes the current northern border defense line of the two countries and wants to issue a statement with us!" Hou Dashun reported. To this day, he still doesn't understand the Soviet Union's intentions.
"Hahahaha, it's easy to understand!" Hu Zhiyong laughed and said to Hou Dashun: "This is to stabilize us and move the troops on the eastern front to the west!"
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins!" Hou Dashun understood.
"Tell him that not only will we not take advantage of others, but if necessary, we will give him the best weapons and other supplies!" Hu Zhiyong smiled. He came to the Republic of China and became more and more proud of things.
The Soviets were asking for advice, so of course Hu Zhiyong had to express his position to them. He got hundreds of square kilometers of land for nothing, but he still had to sell a lot of goods!
Stalin's heart was tightly grasped. Once the Far East took this opportunity to attack the Eastern Front, he was afraid that the Soviet Union would be divided between the two countries in an instant! When he received Podlov's telegram, he felt better.
"Orientals are really great!" If he were in the Far East, he would never miss such a good opportunity!
With the offensive of German troops led by Erwin Rommel, the orphan of the desert, the Second World War reached its climax in Aleman in 1941. Hu Zhiyong had already focused his eyes on the east, always watching the Pacific battlefield
