"I have received reports that Central University, Southwest University and other institutions will organize a demonstration to protest against the Soviet government in the near future. This matter must be done safely. In addition, I would like to say hello to the student unions of these schools.
, let them guide public opinion and never let good things turn into bad things." At the beginning of the meeting, Ouyang Yun did not express his personal attitude immediately, but pointed out that college students in Chongqing were going to hold a demonstration.
Deng Xihou carefully wrote it down in his notebook and said, "I will pay attention to it."
Ouyang Yun then glanced at the crowd and said seriously: "The bloody incident at Lake Baikal first made me feel very heartbroken. Now, I suggest that we all stand up and observe three minutes of silence to express our condolences for my dead citizens!"
The coalition government has developed a corresponding style in handling many things, such as the mourning proposed by Ouyang Yun.
Three minutes later, everyone sat down. Ouyang Yun glanced at everyone again and said: "The Far East Military Region Command should bear a certain degree of responsibility for the bloody incident at Lake Baikal. As a garrison in the Far East, they failed to do their part.
Therefore, our border residents were brutally massacred. I suggest that Commander-in-Chief Zhang Zizhong be given a major demerit, and at the same time, the Far East Military Region’s quota for excellent evaluations this year be cancelled.”
The so-called merit evaluation quotas are actually various honorary titles and corresponding rewards. Because these honorary titles and corresponding rewards are directly related to the promotion of military rank and position, in the military system, this is already a very severe punishment.
No one said anything. More than 300 people died in the Lake Baikal bloodshed. The people must be given an explanation. And the only one who takes the blame is the local garrison. Of course, in the eyes of He Yingqin and Li Zongren, Ouyang Yun is so
The real intention may be to spur the Far East Military Region to prepare for the next Far East War.
"The Soviet-Russian army deliberately provoked border conflicts and brutally killed more than 300 border residents. This matter must not be left alone. Through this incident, we should also see that the battle between us and Soviet Russia
It’s inevitable. Now, let’s take a closer look at our old rivals and see what preparations they have made——”
The slide began to open on the curtain wall behind Ouyang Yun. Ouyang Yun stood up and walked to the left side of the curtain wall. He pointed at a series of numbers on it with a pointer in his hand and said: "According to the intelligence sent back by the Far East Branch of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Soviet Red Army is in the Far East.
More than 500,000 troops have been assembled in the region. Among them, the Far Eastern Front in the south has a total strength of 18 divisions, with a total strength of about 200,000; the Southwest Front in the Lake Baikal region has a total strength of 12 divisions, with a total strength of 15
Thousands of people; to the north, the Northwest Front has a total strength of 13 divisions, also about 150,000. In addition, in Novosibirsk, the Northern Front of the Soviet Red Army is being assembled, with a total strength of 26 divisions
, about 300,000 people.”
What is completely different from that time and space is that due to the loss of a large number of fresh troops in the battle against Germany, the current size of the Soviet Red Army is only one-third of that of that time and space. Moreover, the number of personnel for a force of the same size is
It has also been greatly reduced. At that time and space, the number of people in a combined arms group army in Soviet Russia was often around 100,000. Now, Stalin has canceled this combined arms group army, and directly adopted division-level and brigade-level organizations under the front army.
.
"In other words, the Soviets have assembled 800,000 troops and are preparing to go to war with us?" He Yingqin interjected and asked.
Ouyang Yun nodded.
"If I remember correctly, the number of regular troops in Soviet Russia is around five million, right?"
"About 5.68 million. However, there are still a large number of militiamen and reserve forces in various regions of Soviet Russia. These people have received some military training. Their combat power should not be much worse than the Japanese army!"
"Stalin is so cunning and cunning that he wouldn't fight us to the death if he had no chance of winning, right?" Feng Yuxiang said.
"It's hard to say. The special system of Soviet Russia determines that Soviet Russia is Stalin's voice. And Stalin is simply a madman. Placing hope on a madman, I think this is simply gambling!" Li Zongren said.
Ouyang Yun originally wanted to introduce to everyone the military commanders and military characteristics of Soviet Russia in various directions, but when he saw that everyone shifted the topic to Stalin, he thought for a while and simply sat down and listened to the arguments.
He Yingqin: "I don't think so. The Soviet Russians have been gathering troops in the Far East border area for some time, right? But they have not dared to launch it. This shows that the Soviet Russians are not very determined to attack our Far East region. If I
As expected, the reason why the Soviet Russians are now firm in determination is that, firstly, they must have received a lot of benefits from the United States; secondly, they may think that we will not be able to survive."
Zhou Zhirou: "Regardless of Stalin, the combat power of the Soviet Red Army is quite impressive. Do you still have an impression of the Soviet Volunteer Air Force? That Soviet Volunteer Air Force was able to defeat the Japanese Air Force at that time.
Two.”
Deng Xihou: "There is no doubt that in today's world, Soviet Russia can definitely be regarded as a military power. However, since they were beaten by the Germans and asked us for help, I think they are still slightly inferior to us. Now
The key question is how determined the Soviet Russians are to regain the Far East, which is directly related to how many troops they will invest..."
"Everyone, I think what we are talking about is a little off topic. Based on the information we have now, a war in the Far East is inevitable. What we should discuss now is how to deal with the upcoming war in the Far East. The Soviets have assembled five troops in the Far East.
There are 100,000 troops, and the total strength of the Far East Military Region is only about 350,000. Chief, I think we should consider transferring General Li and General Shan's troops to the Far East. As for North Korea, General Zhang's troops are left
That's enough. Now that we have decided not to expand military operations in Japan, there is no need to accumulate heavy troops in North Korea -" Li Zongren said and looked at Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "Since the bloodshed has occurred, even if the Soviet Russians do not take the initiative to attack us, we will definitely send troops to seek an explanation. Since Stalin dares to condone his subordinates to cause bloodshed among civilians, I think this means that the Soviet Russians have already
We are ready for war. Mr. Zhou is right, the Soviet Russian army’s combat power is good, but there is still a certain gap compared with us. Of course, we are now surrounded by enemies on all sides, so there is no room for any attacks in every direction.
Failure. The Headquarters is already implementing Mr. Li’s suggestion. The Headquarters has already called General Li and General Shan, asking them to rush to Ulaanbaatar and Hulunbuir before the end of next month. In addition, considering that the Soviets are in
A large number of reserve troops have been assembled in Novosibirsk, and the headquarters has also decided to mobilize two or three more armies to the Far East. Now let’s talk about which military region it is better to mobilize which army group in the past——”
