Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 821 Receiving Compensation

In September of the 28th year of the Republic of China, a wonderful show was staged in the Ulyasutai region of western Outer Mongolia. During the negotiations with Molotov, the head of the Soviet negotiating delegation, Tang Qiu left and paid a price.

It was ridiculously high, and he happily opened his pockets, waiting to fill them with silver.

But Molotov was so angry that he didn't even think about cursing. This hateful Chinese villain and blackmailer opened his mouth wide and asked for so many things at once. This is treating the Soviet government as a big scapegoat, a big fat sheep, but

It's hard for him to think of buying planes, tanks, artillery, cars, and so much high-quality steel.

In the Soviet Union in 1938, for such a large country, the annual steel output was less than 1.5 million tons. Tang Qiuli was about to leave one-tenth of it at once. Molotov thought of telegraphing these conditions to the Soviet Union.

Comrade Stalin in Moscow felt anxious in his heart. When he came, he and Stalin had already discussed it. Tang Qiuli would definitely not let Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of soldiers go easily, and he had to be fully mentally prepared.

Try to meet the requirements of this hateful Chinese, so that Zhukov's First Far East Army can move to the Transcaucasus Military District as soon as possible to re-arm and join the Far East battlefield. This is a condition that even Chang Feng, Chief of Staff of the Army Division, finds unbearable. Truthfully

spread to Moscow.

Stalin looked at the list of conditions and was speechless for a while. The Soviet Union could get these things without breaking any bones. What he was most worried about was Tang Qiuli's forward-looking vision. With these equipment, the Chinese Army could quickly

It can form combat effectiveness, and high-quality steel is an indispensable raw material for making weapons. He was worried about the emergence of a powerful opponent in the south of the Soviet Union.

Especially when Tang Qiuli proposed ten bm13 rocket launchers with attached rockets, Stalin was so surprised that his pipe, which was always in his hand, almost fell to the ground. Regarding the development of the bm13 rocket launcher (also known as the Katyusha rocket launcher)

, from a

It only started in 1933. As of last year, it was still being tested on a small scale. It was classified as a top-secret project in the military production of the Soviet Union. Even members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union only knew the truth.

So far, the Soviet frontline troops are not equipped.

The key to the question is, how did Tang Qiuli know about this top-secret project? How did he know that the Soviet Union was developing such a powerful secret weapon? A series of question marks kept rising in Stalin's mind. To say it was political

Someone among the bureau committee members revealed this secret to Tang Qiuli.

Stalin did not believe that the Chinese in the Soviet Union were under strict surveillance, and none of the Politburo members had left his sight. Tang Qiuli's spies had no way to sneak into Moscow to steal secrets or bribe them.

These informed Politburo members.

So how did he know about this top-secret plan? Because he could not determine the reason why Tang Qiuli learned about the plan, Stalin felt even more horrified. As a precaution, he secretly issued a secret order to the Soviet National Security Council (the predecessor of the KGB)

He was given an investigation task, and the subjects of the investigation were all people in the Soviet Union and foreigners except himself.

Little did he know that Tang Qiuli, a freak from later generations, had long admired the Soviet rocket launchers, even to the point of coveting them. Given the opportunity of the Outer Mongolia incident and the fierce fighting between the Soviet Union and Japan in the Far East, he had not yet

Taking the opportunity to raise the issue, even if the Soviets do not agree to other conditions, the rocket launcher will still be decided.

The key is the power of this guy. Tang Qiuli is itching to think about it. The world's first modern rocket launcher was the BM13 rocket launcher successfully developed by the Soviet Union in 1933. This self-propelled rocket launcher was installed on the chassis of a truck.

It is equipped with a rail-type director, which can be mounted with sixteen 132mm tail rockets, with a maximum range of about 8.5 kilometers. It was not until 1939 that it was officially equipped with the Soviet front-line troops.

Rocket launcher is a high-performance weapon system with great power, fierce firepower and good maneuverability. It covers a large area and can hit multiple aiming points. It is most suitable for attacking targets with large area and inaccurate positioning, but it cannot be used to attack targets that are far away from the enemy.

Targets that are too close to the troops cannot be used in areas that your own troops are about to occupy or pass through.

It can also attack the enemy's strategic depth, and it is the nemesis of large-scale armored clusters. A multiple rocket launcher battery fires hundreds of rockets at a time. If multiple rocket launcher batteries fire together, the scene will be spectacular and overwhelming.

The rockets, with their long tail flames, hit the enemy positions with strange roars, and their lethality was absolutely astonishing.

Imagine using it to deal with the Japanese. When hundreds of multiple rocket launchers are fired in a salvo, it will be like a volcano erupting with hot magma, pouring overwhelmingly on the Japanese target. The sound is like thunder and the roar of tigers, and the heat is like overwhelming force. Not only can it destroy the Japanese

The Japanese had a large number of manpower and military equipment, and it gave the Japanese a huge mental shock. When the guards heard the sound of such artillery, they were heartbroken and had no fighting spirit.

The group charge that the Japanese army liked turned into piles of barbecue and coke in the volleys of rocket launchers. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but get excited and wished he could get this kind of killer weapon one day earlier so that Wang Xu's special equipment could be used.

The institute copied it as quickly as possible and equipped the troops in large numbers.

No wonder Stalin was extremely nervous. The fist that the Soviet army relied on to dominate Eurasia was a flood of armored clusters. If Tang Qiuli's troops were equipped with rocket launchers, the Soviet tanks would lose their power. No matter how thick the armor was, they would not be able to withstand it.

When the rocket shell explodes, the blazing flames are thousands of degrees hot.

Stalin still had to give it. It was no longer just a problem of Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The war in the Far East was at stake. If Tang Qiuli's request was not met, this despicable Chinese would be behind the Transcaucasian Front's reinforcements in the Far East.

, stabbed him hard.

At that time, the Soviet Union lost not only the lives of Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but also the entire Second Far East Army of Timoshenko, the Far East, and even all of Asia east of the Ural Mountains. Tang Qiuli and the Japanese sat

He came down to divide the spoils and carve up the territory that had been assigned to Russia during the Tsarist era. Stalin had reason to believe that Tang Qiuli, a scoundrel and villain, was capable. Based on his actions in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, Stalin firmly believed in this.

After weighing the pros and cons, Stalin gritted his teeth and ordered his secretary: "Reply a telegram to Comrade Molotov, agree to all Tang Qiuli's requests, and have Comrade Zhukov and the First Far East Army rush to the Transcaucasus Military District as soon as possible." Stalin's head felt dizzy.

, his energy and blood surged, his vision went dark, and he lay weakly on his desk. Before he passed out, he could hear the exclamations of the staff in his ears.

When Molotov received the call back from Moscow, he groaned like toothache and wanted to bite Tang Qiuli, a hateful Chinese, to death. He knew the price the Soviet Union paid for this and the reason why Comrade Stalin endured such humiliation. In fact,

The Soviets are worthy of it. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Russian Czar obtained a large area of ​​territory and hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation from China through a series of unequal treaties and wars of aggression.

What Tang Qiuli asked the Soviets to spit out was just a fraction, not counting the interest. Molotov looked at Tang Qiuli with a murderous look as if he had lost his father and mother and answered with a smile.

After passing the compensation list, he only had one request. This series of compensation terms and specific contents should not be disclosed to the public. Both parties should keep it secret and proceed in private.

Tang Qiuli agreed to Molotov's request very generously. This was easy to handle. It saved some dignity for the Soviets, especially Stalin, and took advantage. Then he went around the world to make noises. That was the mentality of the nouveau riche and what a fool did.

Although he had already exploded and made the Soviets very angry, after all, it would be difficult to deal with him in the future.

What we Chinese people pay attention to is not to do things to perfection, leaving a little face for the other party, so that they can get along with each other easily in the future. Of course, except for the Japanese, they will do it to death. This is what Tang Qiuli said after Molotov left in despair.

He said this to the brigade commanders who were eager to get their hands on the equipment.

In fact, Tang Qiuli took advantage of more than that. After the Soviet army was destroyed on the Hadasan battlefield, a large amount of equipment was left behind. Many of them can be equipped with troops immediately as long as they are repaired. Even those that cannot be repaired can be replaced by spare parts.

Arranged for great use, these things have long been transported back to Dingbian and Huangyadong bases by Zhang Quan, the logistics director of the ** Division and the commander of the Yellow River Theater Joint Service Command, including artillery shell casings and bullet casings.

, and let Zhang Quan collect them all.

The delivery location for the equipment and steel compensated by the Soviets was set in Cullen. Zhang Quan had already been waiting in Cullen with a large number of receiving personnel from the logistics department, as well as a thousand soldiers commanded by Bai Shibin, chief of staff of the ** Division's transportation force.

There were many trucks, Zhang Quan's face was glowing, and he looked excited about making a fortune.

Weapons, equipment and high-quality steel compensated by the Soviets were continuously shipped to Kulun. Zhang Quan and the staff of the Logistics Department were very busy, tired and hard, but they were all spinning like they were on stimulants.

Quan is already in his fifties and has more energy and drive than young people.

The troops that surrounded Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops still did not withdraw. Tang Qiuli kept a hand. He would not let Zhukov go unless the Soviets put all the compensation supplies and equipment in place. The Soviets, especially Stalin, were relatively

He likes to do treacherous things.

Treat people with sincerity, and who will score the points? Don't let the Soviets set you up. When the time comes, both people and money will be gone, and you won't be able to find a place to cry. You can't fight the Soviets anymore, and there will be no chance. This is Tang Qiuli

Regarding this, these are the exact words of the brigade commanders who asked why the troops were not withdrawn immediately.

These brigade commanders felt a chill in their heads and felt a chill in their hearts. Look at the scheming nature of our division commander. He is not a cunning person. From now on, don’t try to be scheming in front of the division commander.

It was just a fluke. If Tang Qiuli knew what he had done and how effective it was, he would be so happy that he would wake up from sleep.
