?Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at the two leaders and said in a sincere tone: "As the size of the army becomes larger and larger, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting head-on battles. After a battle, the consumption of The number of guns, artillery and ammunition is almost an astronomical figure. Simply relying on captures on the battlefield cannot meet the needs of the troops at all!"
"Therefore, it has become an inevitable choice to establish military production capabilities that are in line with our own strategic interests and strategic decisions. Chairman, CEO, the situation in the Northeast is incomparable to that in Guanhai. Facing the Japanese and puppet troops who have an absolute advantage, the scattered Guerrilla can only lead to a dead end!"
"With the Americans always refusing to pay in full, and the military factory in urgent need of expansion and replacement of some equipment, we have no choice but to use most of the funds to re-export machinery and equipment, as well as military raw materials and technology. On the one hand, we take the opportunity to establish Our own upstream military industry, such as steelmaking, non-ferrous metal smelting, and large-scale synthetic chemical plants, form a complete military industry chain."
"On the one hand, we will expand the scale and production capacity of our own arsenal and set up our own downstream production plants, such as automobile production plants. At the same time, we will introduce a batch of Soviet weapons and equipment production technologies through interest exchange, such as the Soviet-made MiG-3 fighter jets. The production technology of T-26 tanks and some anti-aircraft guns!"
"Chairman, boss, to be honest, we spent 300 million U.S. dollars in one go. I feel really sorry for it. The allowances for the whole army, including me, are only a few dollars of Manchukuo currency. Except for meals and military uniforms, they are all distributed by superiors. Apart from that, all other expenses are included!”
"Those of us who are single can say it better. Those with families rely on this subsidy to support their families, and their lives are not as good as half of the local farmers. But this is a helpless choice for us. There is no other way. Who will let us The military industry in China, except for some basic things, seems to be starting from scratch. We are building a high-rise building on a construction site with nothing but a few bricks!"
"Through this negotiation, although a relatively expensive price has been paid, if everything goes smoothly, within three years, we will establish basic automobile, tank, aircraft and anti-aircraft gun production plants, as well as initially establish steelmaking. Non-ferrous metal smelting, petroleum refining, synthetic chemicals, thermal power generation and other basic defense industries!"
"At the same time, the production capacity of the arsenal will more than triple its current level. While it can basically meet the needs of our troops themselves, it can also vigorously assist the troops in the customs. At the same time, we will also use the preferential loans from the United States to expand The size of the aviation force!”
"Chairman, boss, the Northeast is so rich. In addition to gold and timber, the Xiaoxing'anling area also has copper from Duobao Mountain, nickel from the Heihe area, and high-quality industrial coal throughout northern Manchuria. And from now on Judging from the Japanese military information we captured, it is very likely that there is a large oil field between the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains!"
"If we make full use of these mineral products and invest them all in industrial development, we are fully capable of establishing a defense industry that is basically independent and can even meet all the needs of the army. Chairman, we cannot beg for a golden rice bowl and will Placing hope on others is the stupidest thing. We can only rely on ourselves for everything. There will be no pie in the sky, and even if it does, it will not fall on our heads!"
After all, Yang Zhen gave a detailed report to the Chairman and Commander-in-Chief on his experience of negotiating with the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as his original thoughts and ideas. He even reported truthfully the Americans' attempts to bribe him. Listening to Yang Zhen's report, the chairman's brows relaxed and frowned.
Especially when I heard that the Soviet Union deliberately lowered the price of coal exported from the base area when bartering, and set the price of those precious coals to almost match the cabbage price, which caused considerable losses to the Northeast Bureau, and the Jidong Military Region imported The supplies were in short supply and shoddy goods often happened, and the frowning brows did not relax for a long time.
When the report was finished, Yang Zhen looked at the expression on the chairman's face, paused and said: "Chairman, boss, we are using coal mines and graphite mines to exchange some equipment and production technology with the Soviet Union. Although we are not satisfied, this It is a helpless choice when financial resources are unsustainable!”
“The current agreement can be said to have greatly alleviated our great financial pressure, and also introduced some of the equipment and technology that we urgently need, but it was obtained at the expense of part of our sovereignty, even though these minerals belong to us. I currently cannot and cannot have the financial resources to develop it!"
"I hesitated several times about this agreement at the time, but faced with the shortage of technology and equipment in the base area, I had no choice but to make this decision, even though I knew that once this situation was leaked, it was likely to Let our opponents seize the opportunity to publicize it, reduce our prestige, and even affect the prestige of the central government!"
"Furthermore, in the Northeast, due to the Middle East Road Incident and the previous aggression by Tsarist Russia, not many local people have a favorable impression of the Soviet Union. Once the Japanese army seizes this point for propaganda, it will bring great consequences to us. of passivity and pressure!”
"However, it is impossible to defeat the Japanese army and regain the mountains and rivers simply by relying on millet and rifles. Even under the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army's superior troops and firepower, it is difficult for us to survive. The situation inside and outside the pass is different from the situation we face, which determines that we can only You can continuously enhance your own strength to obtain the most basic right to survive!"
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen sighed lightly and said: "Chairman and boss, they all say that the Japanese army in the pass is strong and there are many puppet troops, but the war has reached this point, especially after the Wuhan battle, due to the changes in the Japanese army's overall strategy After adjustment, the Kwantung Army almost concentrated most of the old divisions of the Japanese army!"
"Compared with the ad hoc divisions on the battlefield in the Kwantung War, the newly established divisions and independent mixed brigades in the nature of garrison, the Kwantung Army, which has concentrated most of the essence of the Japanese army, is currently the strongest among all the strategic clusters of the Japanese army. The big one, that is to say, most of the elite Japanese troops are outside the pass rather than inside the pass!"
"In this battle alone, we encountered seven standing divisions of the Japanese army, including the 1st, 6th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th, plus twenty more who later participated in the battle. The 5th, 28th, 29th, 51st, and 57th divisions, the Kwantung Army invested up to 12 divisions and more than 200,000 troops at one time. The scale of this battle was the largest since 1977. After the incident, except for the Battle of Songhu in the Guanci Civil War, the scale of other battles cannot be compared!"
"In addition, the combat effectiveness of the puppet Manchukuo army is also far stronger than that of the puppet army in the pass. The sophistication of all its Japanese equipment is also far higher than that of the puppet army in the pass. Facing such a powerful Japanese and puppet army, without a powerful Relying on our firepower, with no way out and our ability to replenish our troops is extremely poor, all that awaits us is a dead end!"
"The difference between the situation inside the pass and the situation inside the pass determines that we can only try every means to enhance our own strength, because we do not have such a large room for maneuver on the battlefield inside the pass, let alone a strong population base within the pass, which can replenish a large number of troops. Under the difficult situation of replenishing soldiers, increasing the firepower of the troops has become our only choice!"
"Because the defeat in the Guanhai battlefield did not harm the overall situation, the worst it could do was give up some territory. Since the July 7th Incident, the Nationalist Government has won several battles, but it can rely on the vast territory and still persist in resisting. But for the basis The Northeast has a limited area and an even smaller population. Once the war is defeated, there will be no retreat!"
"In the face of the large amount of troops invested by the Japanese army this time, we have exhausted all our resources and dug almost three feet into the ground. We can only barely gather enough troops to match the Japanese army. If it were not for the loan provided by the Soviet Union last year, , provided us with a batch of weapons and ammunition captured in Poland, which raised our firepower level to the same level as that of the Japanese army. I can say that this battle was almost a dead end!"
"For the Anti-Japanese Alliance hanging alone in northern Manchuria, the difference between the Kwantung Army and the Kwantung Army is not only the overall strength, but also the inability to follow up is our most fatal weakness. At the end of this battle, although we have liberated Sanjiang Province of Puppet Manchuria, Binjiang Province, all of Dong'an Province, most of Longjiang Province and Heihe Province, it seems that the area has expanded, but the total population is not as large as several large counties in the pass!"
"Before the campaign was launched, the population of the entire base area was only over one million, and the number of people suitable for military service was less than 300,000. This includes men under the age of 40 and men over the age of 16. The successors were weak and the number of soldiers was insufficient. Difficulty, if we are at a clear disadvantage in terms of firepower, then we can only be consumed bit by bit!"
"Fighting out is an inevitable choice, but when facing a powerful opponent, we don't have strong firepower, and we simply can't achieve the victory we hope for. In the vast and sparsely populated Beiman, if we want to go The strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside is almost impossible because the population of Northern Manchuria is too limited!"
"Although the key to victory in a war lies in people, when the firepower gap is too large, if we want to win a war or even a battle, the price we have to pay will be several times or even several times that of our opponents. Ten times, and this price is unbearable for us!"
"This is the reason why I want to do everything possible to increase the firepower of the troops and build my own defense industry at all costs, even to bear infamy, because I don't want us to follow the old path of the National Government and put our own neck on the line. Send it into someone else’s hands!”
"With our own military industry, we can meet our own needs and at the same time support the troops on the battlefield inside the pass. In order to establish our own national defense industry system and initially meet the basic firepower needs of the troops, we can say that we have sold the iron to the enemy, although it cannot be said that it is. An unprincipled concession, but basically done at all costs!"
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen smiled sadly and said: "Chairman, boss, I only hope that one day after the country is liberated and we establish our own political power, no one will call me a prodigal, and no one will come to settle accounts with me." , when I go to see Marx, no one will put a cross on my portrait, it is enough to say that I am a traitor, and I have not thought about anything else." Go and share.
