While the Americans were worrying about the Soviets' supply problems in the Far East, Chuikov had secretly arrived in Chongqing. When the plane began to circle and descend, he saw that the scenery on the ground had changed greatly compared to the last time he came.
In particular, the chimneys in the factory became obviously more numerous and thicker. Chuikov couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "On the road to industrialization, the Chinese are running forward, but the Soviets are almost treading water. No wonder the Chinese were able to win in the Far East...
…”
Since it was a secret visit, Chuikov did not bring many followers, and for this reason, communication between them was more convenient. On the way from Xiaolongkan Airport to the Nanping Military Camp, the residence arranged by the Chinese, the Soviets saw both sides of the street
It was full of shops, and the cars on the road were one after another. The people walking were all well-dressed and full of energy. They couldn't help but sigh: "Is this still China?"
The person in charge of the reception on the Chinese side was Yang Linyu, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Supreme Command, a tall and thin man in his thirties. Yang Linyu had the experience of studying in Soviet Russia and could speak fluent Russian. And his greatest skill was
He also has a drinking capacity, it is said that he can truly drink a thousand glasses without pouring it out.
Hearing the exclamation from the Russians, Yang Linyu smiled slightly and said to Chuikov: "General, it's nothing. Although Chongqing is the capital of China, it is not among the top five in terms of economic aggregate or industrialization level.
Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Shanghai, these places are richer than Chongqing. Haha, many people think that since our country is obsessed with the military, domestic development will definitely be affected. In fact, this is not the case. Our current incumbent
The head of state attaches great importance to economic and people's livelihood construction. The annual investment in this area is much higher than the investment in military..."
"How is that possible? Where did you get the money?" A Russian man about fifty years old wearing a suit suddenly said loudly.
Yang Linyu smiled and had no intention of answering this question.
The development and strength of a country requires economic accumulation. The reason why Western powers such as Britain and the United States, including Russia, have been able to rise like a rocket depends on overseas colonization and plunder. But China, as an object that was once colonized and plundered,
Their wealth seems to have been emptied by the Western powers a long time ago. What is the reason for their rise?
With the same question, if it were Americans, they would definitely shout: "Didn't the Chinese get their first pot of gold from us? Despicable and shameless Chinese!" Americans are indeed qualified to say such words.
Because at the beginning of World War II, the United States not only provided massive aid to China, but was also deceived by the Chinese into losing several aircraft carriers.
It may not be accurate to lie, but if it were now, no matter how good the terms China offered, I believe the Americans would not agree to hand over several aircraft carriers to them, let alone allow the Chinese to open factories in the United States, even if
Those factories can bring many new technologies to Americans.
What the Soviet Russians headed by Chuikov would not have thought was that "how did China rise" would become a worldwide issue in the future, talked about by economists in many countries. And even China's own later
Economists are also at a loss when studying this issue, and will only use "miracles" to give an irresponsible answer.
"What kind of bridge is this?" On the way from Lianglukou to Nanping, the Russians' curiosity was aroused again when they passed the Lianglukou Yangtze River Bridge. The Lianglukou Yangtze River Bridge was only completed and opened to traffic at the end of last year, and it
The most special thing is that this is a cable-stayed steel bridge. In that time and space, the first cable-stayed bridge was built by the Swedes, but in this time and space, this honor was taken away by Chinese bridge-building experts.
"Cable-stayed bridge! By the way, this is the only one in the world!" Yang Linyu replied proudly.
One glance revealed the whole story. The Soviets in the car looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became more and more solemn. Obviously, they were all shocked by the strong industrial base strength demonstrated by China.
The Nanping Military Camp was not far from the Yangtze River Bridge. A quarter of an hour later, the Soviet Russians saw the anti-aircraft forts and surface-to-air missile launch sites hidden in the mountains and forests. The Soviet Russians came to visit secretly. This was naturally a demonstration of China's strength.
An opportunity. Ouyang Yun doesn't really want to resort to violence, so if he can use non-war means to reduce the country's enemies, he is still willing to try it.
"Is that a rocket?" Chuikov asked, pointing to a pointed missile protruding from the treetops.
"Surface-to-air missiles are used for air defense. Nanping Military Camp is the largest military camp in our country's capital Chongqing. Of course, the defense must be tighter." "Surface-to-air missiles?" I read it silently in my mind, looking at the missile.
After lingering for a while, Chuikov realized something - are the Chinese demonstrating against us?
It was a demonstration. When a group of them entered the barracks, they saw about a regiment of soldiers practicing. It should be specially for the Soviet Russians, so today the drill subject of this regiment is coordinated operations of the three arms.
The so-called three arms refer to aviation, artillery and infantry.
Six "Haidong Qing IV" attack helicopters were the first to appear. Under the command of the pilot, they first used rockets to bombard the target. After them, eight 120mm caliber self-propelled howitzers
Entered the field of vision of Chuikov and others. They moved forward quickly, then grabbed the ground, and then fired. Chuikov looked at his watch. From grabbing the ground to firing, the Chinese only took less than three minutes. "That is,
Say, it only takes the Chinese five minutes to fire the artillery and move their positions?!" Thinking this in his mind, his face became a little unnatural.
Just as the self-propelled artillery opened fire, a regiment of infantry had already rushed out. They were led by six tanks and twelve armored vehicles, followed by a group of infantry armed with various weapons.
Yes, all kinds of weapons. Including rocket launchers, grenade guns, flamethrowers...
Chuikov noticed that the six tanks and twelve armored vehicles were all models he had never seen before, and the look on his face became more and more unnatural - "It has only been a while since the Chinese have developed new tanks and armored vehicles.
But now their mandrills are invincible. Is it still necessary to continue this battle?"
When friends come from afar, and they are undoubtedly distinguished guests, they must be greeted with the highest courtesy. Therefore, the coordinated operation of the three arms of this regiment is actually just an appetizer. After this, the project prepared by the Chinese Second Artillery Corps is the big one.
meal.
At this time, Chuikov and others had been invited to get out of the car and were walking towards their residence. "That is -" Suddenly seeing a surprisingly large car, a Soviet major general beside Chuikov couldn't help but exclaimed
Make a sound.
This is a "Taishan missile launch vehicle". It is equipped with a six-cylinder diesel engine with nearly 1,500 horsepower and a rated load capacity of 25 tons. It can carry two "Hellfire III" surface-to-surface missiles or six
"Thunder" low-altitude missiles. Because the vehicle is equipped with a small lifting arm device, it can independently complete the loading and unloading of the "Thunder".
"With the 'Taishan Missile Launch Vehicle', our missiles can easily move with the army. This also means that our missiles have all-weather and all-terrain capabilities," Yang Linyu said.
If before the war in the Far East, the Soviet Russians only regarded Chinese rockets as a conventional threat, now the Soviet Russians have understood that if they cannot find a way to contain Chinese missile tactics, then in the Far East they will completely
Lost the ability to take the initiative to attack.
"Aren't these vehicles and missiles cheap?" Chuikov asked seemingly casually.
Yang Linyu understood what he meant. If this kind of vehicle and its equipped missiles could not be fielded, its role would be limited to deterrence, and the Soviets could completely ignore it.
"It is indeed very expensive. So far, we have only deployed two divisions. One of them is already on the way to Ulaanbaatar."
Chuikov felt suffocated. He thought for a while and said seriously to Yang Linyu: "General Yang, Soviet Russia and China can actually live in peace. I wonder if the supreme commander of your country has ever considered this issue.
"
After Yang Lin accepted this reception mission, he was called over by Ouyang Yun for an interview. He smiled and said: "General Cuikov, there is one thing you must know. Before your army increased its troops in the Far East, our government once asked your country to
Reinforcements were sent to your country at the request of the government. I think, what else can better illustrate the attitude of our government than this?"
"Is this also what the supreme commander of your country means?"
"certainly."
"So, when can I see him? Marshal Stalin asked me to bring greetings to the supreme commander of your country. I must convey this in person."
"In the evening, wait until evening, the supreme commander will receive you."
In the evening, Cuikov met Ouyang Yun in a small canteen in the Nanping military camp. Before Ouyang Yun arrived, he had been poured a lot of Chinese wine by the gracious Chinese generals.
"General Chuikov, welcome to China again. How's it going? Are you satisfied with the dinner? These Chinese generals are all veteran winemakers in their respective armies!"
"Satisfied, thank you for your hospitality. Chinese generals, they all have great drinkers!"
Of course, the Chinese generals have a great drinking capacity. If Chuikov knew that many of the Chinese generals he drank with were not soldiers before or were just Wei-level and school-level officers, he might not be as satisfied as he is now.
.
Smiling at each other and then waving the fake ones among them to leave, Ouyang Yun said: "Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table because we think it will appear more sincere. General Chuikov, everyone is
Dear soldier, please tell me the reason for your visit. Don’t worry, we are all soldiers here, and I will give them a silence order."
With his face flushed and sweat on his forehead, Chuikov did not drink too much, but due to the effect of alcohol, he still behaved more "military". He glanced at the remaining Chinese generals, and then talked with a few of his subordinates.
After exchanging glances, he said: "Your Excellency, Supreme Commander, we come to China, of course, for peace. As you said, we are all soldiers, so may I ask, do you have any intention in this regard?"
