At the very least, if the Anti-Japanese Alliance really cuts off the supply of materials to the Soviet Union, the source of their communication equipment will be basically cut off. And this alone is enough to kill the Soviet people. The reason is very simple, the huge amount of U.S. aid to the Soviet Union
The power radio, radio walkie-talkies and walkie-talkies were all handed over after production by Anti-Lian.
The Soviet army's original communication capabilities were extremely poor. They were equipped with domestically produced radio stations, which were bulky and poor in stability. Most importantly, they were extremely backward. They could only conduct coded communications but not voice communications. Moreover, the number of radios they equipped was incomparable with their huge size.
The army is extremely inadequate in comparison.
If the Soviets wanted to change the communication capabilities of their troops, they could only rely on the assistance of the Americans when their domestic design and production levels were still very backward. In fact, the communication radio stations used by the Soviet troops during the Soviet-German War were
It is also aid from the United States. Of course, this was in the original history, but the current situation is completely different.
Even the Americans admired the walkie-talkies, voice and telegraph radios, and various walkie-talkies designed and produced by the Anti-Japanese League themselves, and even introduced production technology to produce equipment for their own troops. With this as a basis, Yang Zhen
Through the brokerage of Pearson, the head of the US military delegation to the Anti-Japanese War, an agreement was reached with the Americans.
The Americans provided new production equipment and raw materials to the Anti-League, and the Anti-League transferred all production technology to them free of charge. At the same time, one-third of the products manufactured by the Anti-League would be transferred to the Soviets as part of the American Lend-Lease materials.
.In other words, the communication equipment that the Americans aided the Soviets, on the surface, was aided by the United States, but in fact it was all manufactured and produced by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
For Americans, this kind of thing is naturally optimistic. The appetite of the Soviets is undoubtedly huge, and the Americans themselves are also expanding their arms and preparing for war. According to American standards, the demand for various communication radio stations is naturally not small.
. Now someone is sharing the burden for themselves, and they only need to provide part of the machinery and equipment, production raw materials, and a small amount of cash. Naturally, they are not happy.
It’s just that the Americans at the time thought that the reason why the Anti-Japanese Alliance did this was out of the friendship between their communist parties and to help the Soviets who had the same beliefs. The Americans knew that this was just a part of Yang Zhen’s plan. Yang Zhen
Zhen had long expected that the Soviets would use their power to bully the small and unscrupulously seize the supplies provided by the United States, so he had long thought of countless ways to give himself some leverage in the competition.
During the war, the most important equipment to ensure the smooth flow of troop command was also the most advantageous material for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, namely high-power radio stations and walkie-talkies, which became one of the most important weights in his hand. If it weren't for Yang Zhen
With some foresight, I am afraid that Yang Zhen can only watch the materials that originally belonged to him being occupied by the Soviets, but he has nothing to do.
Once the Anti-Japanese Alliance stops providing these materials to the Soviets, the Soviets will not be able to get a radio station and walkie-talkie that they urgently need. And the communication links are not smooth, which will undoubtedly be a problem for the Soviet army that advocates large-scale operations.
This was a disaster. This was already proven in the great defeat of the Soviet army in the early stages of the Soviet-German war.
There are also improved radar technologies and products, which the Soviets are most eager to obtain. In addition to the radars equipped by the Soviet army, in addition to part of the aid from the United States and Britain, all the latest radars are also provided by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Because the Americans
Not stupid, they not only want to use the Soviets to deal with the Germans, but they also want to prevent the Soviets from surpassing them after acquiring the latest technology. Therefore, many of the equipment they provide have only one standard, and that is that it is sufficient.
The Soviets couldn't even think of the latest electronic products. Especially radar, the products provided by the Americans were basically second-tier products. No matter how much the Soviets asked for the latest radar, the Americans refused to provide it. On the contrary, it was a counter-attack.
Although the Soviet Union received the same treatment, due to certain reasons, the products they improved based on the radars aided by the Americans had much better performance than those provided by the Americans to the Soviets.
The Americans treat the Soviets in radar technology in the same way as in aviation technology and equipment assistance. I provide you with combat aircraft to supplement the combat effectiveness of your aviation forces. But I will not provide you with the latest aircraft.
.Of course, Americans will not provide these things to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
However, in view of the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and even the weak industrial base of China as a whole, the Americans still control the transfer of technology to the Anti-Alliance more laxly than the Soviets. Due to the development of the war situation, some refused to provide equipment and technology to the Soviets, such as the four-wheeler
The technology and equipment of large bombers were eventually provided to the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
After the Japanese army captured the Philippines, the United States has lost any base that can bomb the Japanese mainland. Choosing a base that can bomb the Japanese mainland to weaken the Japanese army's war potential has become a top priority for the Americans. Currently, all attacks against Japan
Among the combating countries and armies, except for the Soviets who refused to declare war on Japan life or death, and did not even commit to a verbal declaration of war, the base areas of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were closest to the Japanese mainland.
Not only the American B-17 and B-24 large bombers took off from the Anti-Japanese Alliance base areas and could easily reach the Japanese mainland, but even the Anti-Japanese Alliance-equipped Il-4 bombers were modified to reduce the bomb load and conduct precise calculations of the range.
After that, you can also reach the west coast of Japan.
The British had already provided some long-range bombers, but their performance could not meet the needs. After the U.S. military suffered a complete defeat at the Battle of Midway, in order to weaken Japan's war potential, especially its shipbuilding industry, after several rounds of bargaining, the Americans finally provided
It has always refused to provide the Soviet Union with four-engine heavy bombers and production technology.
Of course, the Americans did not know that they suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Midway. Of the three aircraft carriers that participated in the battle, two were sunk and one was severely damaged. Of the eight cruisers, three were sunk and five were damaged. The destroyers and submarines that participated in the battle lost most of their results.
If he, an ally, was the one responsible for the trouble, he would not only not provide any further assistance to the Alliance of Resistance, but would also hunt down this unscrupulous guy all over the world, trying to catch anyone who tried to trick anyone.
Throughout World War II, whether the two warring parties were the Axis Powers or the Allies, there were intrigues among the allies. Especially among the Allies, several countries were fighting each other overtly and covertly in order to compete for U.S. aid supplies, and even
There are also those who undermine each other and those who are behind the scenes. This kind of cooperation and confrontation in all aspects, and the behavior of secretly undermining each other, ran through the entire World War II.
In the battle for US aid supplies, China suffered the most. The British, who hoped that the Soviets could hold back as many German troops as possible, would not compete too much with the Soviets. Not only did they not compete with the Soviets for supplies,
He also provided a large amount of aid to the Soviets.
But they treated China with a lot of dirty tricks. The Chinese army, which was the worst equipped and fought the largest number of Japanese troops, not only received the least supplies, but did not even have one-tenth of the number of British and Soviet troops. Moreover, because it needed to pass through the British Indian colonies,
And it was often appropriated by the British as their own.
Although everyone has intrigues, and overt and covert stumblings often happen. But for a guy like Yang Zhen, who is tricked by enemies and allies, only the pot-bellied Prime Minister in London can compare with him. But the methods are vicious and weird.
, and above the pot-bellied Prime Minister.
The British plotted against the Chinese and trapped the Chinese army half to death in the Battle of Burma. Yang Zhen changed hands and cheated a handful of Americans. The British trapped a few elite troops in the Chinese army, but Yang Zhen destroyed Pearl Harbor.
After the incident and the Battle of the Coral Sea, half of the remaining U.S. Pacific Fleet was trapped.
However, although the Americans handed over a batch of large bombers and transferred production technology to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Anti-Japanese Alliance must keep strict confidentiality on the technologies the Americans required them to provide to the Soviets, and the physical equipment provided was not allowed to be transferred.
To the Soviets. There was even direct supervision by Americans at the production site and among the troops.
The Americans even repeatedly warned Yang Zhen and all the generals of the Anti-Japanese League that if it was discovered that the Anti-Japanese League provided American technology to the Soviets, the United States would no longer provide any technology to the Anti-Japanese League, especially aviation technology. Moreover, it would not provide assistance to the Americans.
The scale and quantity of other supplies needed for the Anti-Japanese War will also be severely affected.
Therefore, if the Soviets want to obtain some of the aviation technology of the Americans, they still have to ask the Anti-Japanese Alliance. In addition to the most advanced aviation technology that the Americans have always blocked from the Soviets, there are also grain, meat, sugar, etc.
After people were lost in Ukraine, the breadbasket of the Soviet Union, the Soviets were waiting for urgently needed non-combat supplies.
The Americans, who were also extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the Soviets, threatened immediately after the incident that they would refuse to provide non-combat equipment to the Soviets until the Soviets and the Chinese reached an agreement on material transportation and distribution.
All supplies except food, cloth, cotton, high-quality gasoline and other non-combat supplies urgently needed by the Soviets.
At the same time, without the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain a year provided by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Soviets, instead of being able to mobilize grain from the Far East to supplement the Western Front, had to mobilize grain from the Western Front to the Far East. In addition, all major grain producing areas in the West were lost.
Under this situation, the Soviets simply could not afford the huge food needs of the troops and residents in the Far East.
Of course, there are also the 57mm anti-aircraft guns, 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns, improved individual rocket launchers that can penetrate new German tanks at close range, recoilless rifles, etc. that the Soviets currently need. Some Americans do not have them either. However,
The Western Front urgently needed weapons and equipment. In other words, at least for a year, the Anti-Japanese Alliance could afford it, but the Soviets could not afford it.
After the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Kharkov, and just after recovering from the Battle of Moscow, in this battle, hundreds of thousands of troops and a large amount of painstakingly hoarded equipment were lost again. The losses were heavy, especially in the Far East, where almost all the troops had been mobilized.
The empty Soviet army just wanted to teach the Anti-Japanese Alliance a lesson, but now they no longer have that strength.
Neither the Americans nor the central government want to see the two sides continue to compete with each other. The Americans, especially, do not want the two sides to weaken their combat capabilities against their common enemy because of these things. And this
This was a lose-lose situation that benefited no one. In the end, under the mediation of the Americans, and after several wars of words, the Soviets finally made concessions in some aspects.
