Chapter 19 Not in line with the original intention
Of course, if the United States is willing to provide Sherman tanks, M-3 half-track armored vehicles, and other armored vehicles, he will also accept it. Although these two weapons are not as powerful as those produced by the Soviet Union and Germany, they can still be used to deal with little Japan.
It's enough. It would be a bit pretentious to refuse. Besides, you can save some high-quality American armor steel for reserves, and you won't be too fanciful.
But if he gives all his hopes and material sources to the Americans for the sake of saving time and convenience. If he does not take advantage of this rare opportunity to establish China's own national defense industrial system, Yang Zhen thinks that he is nothing less than
A crime against the entire Chinese nation.
Therefore, Yang Zhen still insists on producing things he can produce as much as possible. If he can imitate, he will never wait for charity from foreigners. If he can produce himself, he will do everything possible to produce it. Not only equipment, but also production.
The raw materials for the equipment must be produced by ourselves.
The reason for doing this is not that Yang Zhen was worried about repaying the debt after the war. It was because he had no intention of paying for the war materials provided by the Americans after the war. Britain and the Soviet Union, the two largest recipients of aid, both failed to repay the debt after the war.
, China, which is very poor and has nothing to do, naturally shouldn’t pretend to be that big-headed.
As for whether the Americans would charge this account to the Nationalist Government like the aircraft they provided last time, that was not his concern. Yang Zhen thought that although the Nationalist Government was more advocating for foreigners, it did not treat the Americans
Some are too dependent, but not to that extent. Just pay for the assistance you receive.
In addition to wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to establish his own military industry, the main reason is that he does not want the weapons and equipment he can produce to squeeze out the share of the supplies provided by Americans. In fact, Yang Zhen has already made a plan in his mind.
Now it’s time to ask for the types of supplies from the Americans.
Yang Zhen knows very well that when that time comes, Americans will not be too stingy. Although the most advanced technology will naturally not be given to themselves, some second-rate technology and the latest industrial equipment are enough for heavy industry.
China, which did not have it, has benefited a lot.
Since the Americans were able to give the Soviets the most urgently needed hundreds of thousands of the latest machines and equipment during the Soviet-German War, they must not be too stingy with themselves. After all, their industrial capabilities are far inferior to those of the Soviets. For the Americans,
, let alone pose any threat. The Americans should not be more worried about themselves than they are about the Soviets.
These things, coupled with the industrial system established by the Japanese in Northeast China. As long as it is managed properly and planned well, by the end of World War II, the Chinese industrial production capacity will definitely have a big development. At least it will not be like the history that I know.
In that way, an extremely heavy price was paid for industrialization. It would not be like the so-called golden decade of the National Government. Except for some light industries, the production capacity of heavy industries not only did not receive a fundamental improvement, but actually declined a lot.
Use the machinery, equipment and military raw materials aided by the Americans to produce Soviet artillery and tanks. When World War II is over, after everything is already available, there will be another one who turns his back and refuses to admit his debt.
In all of China, Yang Zhen is probably the only one who dares to think this way.
No matter what kind of changes this history will have after his arrival. Anyway, Yang Zhen has determined one thing, that is, there are a lot of things that should be needed in the rented materials. What should be taken must be taken with a clear conscience.
.But the debt that needs to be repaid after taking these supplies and equipment will definitely not be paid back at all.
In order to obtain as much machinery and equipment urgently needed for industrial development as possible, and to keep the wartime blood vessels in one's own hands, the most important thing is to ensure that one's own troops are not subject to any restrictions when needed, so that the Daqing Oilfield can be put into production ahead of schedule.
, for Yang Zhen, this is almost a must. And once these oil fields are put into production, they will bring more than just these benefits.
Presumably, their own oil production and oil refining industry suffered heavy losses during the war, and petroleum products could hardly meet the needs of the Soviet army. If it were not for the high-quality gasoline and diesel aided by the Americans, the Soviets, who could hardly afford to supply their large armored forces, would be willing to provide them.
Some of the price should be exchanged for the military oil they urgently need. Of course, if the Americans are willing to pay for the Soviets, Yang Zhen will not refuse. However, Yang Zhen hopes to exchange the oil for some new Soviet weapons and equipment.
I just don’t know if Yang Zhen’s plan in his heart was known to Pearson, the American representative to the Anti-Japanese War, who was being recruited back to China to report on his duties. Would he be so angry that he vomited blood? If Pearson knew about it, this guy would not only have started plotting against them.
The great United States of America, which has no repayment for these materials after the war, will directly kick the Anti-Japanese Alliance out of the list of people who have been listed as Lend-Lease material aid recipients?
Of course, even to death, Yang Zhen would not tell anyone about these things. But naturally, he didn’t know that these were somewhat dirty thoughts in his mind. When he saw that he was talking to him, one moment he vowed to build a big oil field for himself next year, but the next moment he suddenly lost his mind.
When Guo Bingxun got up, he thought he had something else on his mind, but did not dare to disturb his thoughts.
It wasn't until Yang Zhen woke up from his thoughts that he saw that Guo Bingxun in front of him had hung up the battle map in his hand. Yang Zhen, who felt that he was distracted while talking to Guo Bingxun, said somewhat awkwardly: "Old man
Guo, I'm sorry. I just thought of something and got a little distracted. That's where you just said it, let's continue."
Seeing that Yang Zhen finally woke up, Guo Bingxun said unconcernedly: "No. 1, it's nothing. I just talked about the impact of the current situation in the Soviet Union on us. But what kind of fight can the Soviets and Germans have? It's still unclear.
It’s not time for us to worry. I think we should focus our current main energy on the battle we are about to begin.”
"No. 1, Wang Guangyu and Chen Hanzhang's troops currently on the western front are all in place. Du Kaishan's troops on the middle line have been assembled. Wang Xiaoming and Tao Jingfei's troops on the eastern front have also arrived at the designated attack locations one after another. All troops
We have followed the headquarters' requirements, concealed our strategic intentions, and arrived at the designated combat area. Now we should determine the final time to launch the attack."
"The central government has received a call to inform that the reorganized Jirecha Advance Army has been reorganized. The newly organized Taihang Military Region of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the units of the 129th Division have arrived at the designated areas. The Jirecha Advance Army has begun to move northward one after another.
Prepare to launch an attack on the puppet territory of Jehol around July 15th."
"At the same time, in order to contain the Japanese North China Front Army and the Mongolian garrison army's possible reinforcements to the Kwantung Army, the troops of the Jizhong Military Region, the Shanxi-Sui Military Region, the Shandong Column, the 115th Division, and the Taihang Military Region, in addition to the troops staying in the north,
, will launch the second Hundred Regiment War against the Japanese army and carry out large-scale sabotage operations against the Jinpu Line, Longhai Line, and Pinghan Line within the pass."
"According to the current equipment and training level of the Kwantung Army, as well as our original combat plan. Before the Kwantung Army launches the Battle of Jehol, our army should launch an attack first in order to attract and contain the main division of the Kwantung Army and relieve the Kwantung Army.
pressure.”
"No. 1, in view of the current level of training and equipment of the Kanai troops, according to the plan, we will still be the main force in the entire operation. The actions of the Kanai troops should be carried out based on the progress after we launch the attack. After all, the Kanai troops originally focused on guerrilla warfare.
This kind of head-on combat is not what the Guannei troops are good at."
"Moreover, the time they received new training was too short. Although their equipment has been greatly improved, there is still a big gap compared with the Japanese army. Even in the direction of Jehol, it is quite difficult for them to undertake the main combat tasks.
.But the problem now is that the time for the central government to launch an attack on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has been finalized."
"For us, it is still difficult to determine whether we can attract the Japanese troops on the Jehol front line before the 15th. Because our scheduled attack launch time is July 13th, which is five days later. Such a
Yes, we seem to be in a hurry in terms of time or actions.
"If we want to reach Linxi from the Aershan frontline within two days, let alone the blocking of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way. The march distance of just a few hundred kilometers makes it difficult for our army to complete the task within the stipulated time.
Once the Japanese and puppet troops encounter an obstruction, the time may be even more difficult to determine."
"The current headquarters of the Japanese 23rd Division in Linxi is at the junction of Xing'anxi Province and Rehe. Judging from the intelligence we have received so far, since the end of June, the Kwantung Army Headquarters has obviously accelerated its response to the Second
Replenishment of the Thirteenth Division. At the same time, the Twenty-third Division has terminated its harassment of the Outer Mongolia region and is making every effort to restore its original strength."
"Although the 23rd Division has not yet fully recovered its strength before withdrawing south, its vitality has been restored to at least 80%. Its lost heavy equipment has also been replenished. If our troops in the pass launch an attack into Rehe,
, the 23rd Division stationed on the Linxi front line will be a powerful opponent for our army in the pass."
"Judging from the equipment and training of the troops within the customs received so far, as well as the total force prepared to be used in the direction of Jehol, I am afraid that at least for now, it is not the 23rd Division and the attached 24th Division.
The opponent. Although it cannot be said that he does not have the ability to fight, he will definitely have to pay an extremely heavy price."
"You know, decisions on the battlefield are not determined by equipment alone. The battle situation on the Soviet battlefield can explain everything. The combat effectiveness of the Kwanai troops is comparable to that of the elite Kwantung Army such as the 23rd Division.
There is still a big gap between us. Even if we win, I’m afraid it will be a miserable victory.”
"If our army cannot seize the opportunity to attract the Japanese 23rd Division currently stationed on the Linxi front line before the Guannei troops are fully deployed in Rehe. I am afraid that even if the Guannei troops can complete their scheduled goals, the casualties will be considerable.
This is inconsistent with the original intention of our original notification to the Central Committee that the Guan Nei troops would focus on the puppet Manchukuo army as the main combat target in the first phase in order to gain practical experience as soon as possible."
