Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

In addition to insisting on the land east of Lake Baikal, Hu Weidong also pointed out that the war with the Soviet Union consumed a large amount of China's military expenditure and also caused 70,000 to 80,000 casualties. Therefore, the Soviet Union also needed to provide economic compensation. In this case, the representatives of the Soviet Union

and Stalin himself were very angry. In order to force the Chinese to make concessions at the negotiation table, the Soviet Army High Command decided to launch a medium-sized offensive to prove that it was not a soft persimmon...

After knowing the power of Sun Liren, the Soviet army did not dare to provoke any more provocations on the western front, so they chose to launch an attack on the North China Field Army in the middle line. However, they were easily defeated by Ma Zhongying's 51st Army with less than 100,000 men, and counterattacked, like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Likewise, they were invincible along the way, killing nearly 200,000 enemy troops, and reached New Silk Road in three days.

After that, Ma Zhongying gathered his troops and slowly retreated into China. As reinforcements arrived one after another, the Soviet army, which had increased to more than 400,000 troops, no one dared to pursue it. When Stalin learned about it, he was so angry that he ordered all the troops above the Novosibirsk Military District to

All the generals were dismissed from their posts, and at the same time, he deeply regretted that he had let Ma Zhongying return to China...

The Western Siberian counterattack brought the Soviets back to the negotiating table again, but the Soviet representatives explained their two difficulties, hoping to use the Chinese traditional culture of sympathy for the weak to induce the Chinese representatives to make concessions. The Soviet representatives said

The first point

The difficulty is that if all the more than 500,000 (44+7) square kilometers southeast of Lake Balkhash are returned to China, then more than 80% of the land in the Kyrgyz Republic of the Soviet Union will be lost and exist in name only, which will shake the foundation of the Soviet Union; and

second

The difficulty is that the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway is basically built on China's lost land. If China takes it back, the remaining central and northern parts of the Soviet Far East will be cut off from other areas. The Soviet government will be equivalent to giving up.

A large piece of land. In this way, the Soviet Union actually lost much more land than it returned to China. Moreover, in the Far East, there was also Vladivostok, the most important and almost the only port of the Soviet Union in the Pacific. Well, the Soviets called it

It's Vladivostok...

Objectively speaking, the complaints of the Soviets cannot be said to be completely groundless, but what the Soviet representatives did not expect was that Hu Weidong not only did not relent because of their show of weakness, but instead proposed a solution that stunned the Soviets, that is, China gave up taking

The land to the west of Xinjiang was returned to ensure that the Kyrgyz Republic remained intact, but in exchange, the Chinese government demanded a large no-man's land north of the lost land in the east. In this way, the Soviet government's second problem also disappeared.

What's more, when Tsarist Russia invaded and occupied Chinese territory, no one settled on the land north of the lost land. The so-called sovereignty of Tsarist Russia and even the Soviet Union over this land was actually based on the illegally occupied land in the south. Therefore, strictly speaking,

Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia should have been returned to China together. Now the Chinese government has agreed to give up 500,000 square kilometers of high-value land that has been developed to a high degree to the Soviet Union. This condition is enough...

As for the Pacific Ocean outlet, Hu Weidong believes that it has taken the wrong path since the Tsarist Russia. Russia’s naval strength is not good, and it has to be painfully divided into three. Isn’t this looking for abuse? So now China simply divides the Pacific coast

All the lands in the world will come over. Let the Soviets completely get rid of this unrealistic idea, which can help the Soviet Union unify its thinking. In the future, stop thinking about Asia and just keep heading west to conquer European lands. In other words, Russia's original focus

Just been in Europe...

After hearing Hu Weidong's self-proclaimed new plan of "killing two birds with one stone" and his complaints about Russia's expansionary policy, the Soviet representative almost fainted from anger, but Hu Weidong innocently stated that he was entirely thinking about the Soviet Union. Hu Weidong claimed that he was fair and objective

The attitude pointed out that the Soviet Union was vast and sparsely populated, and even the European part had not been fully developed. In this case, although the territorial area was too large, although it looked more proud, in fact it was the opposite.

It has greatly increased the cost of administration and garrisoning. Considering the vast coldness of Siberia and the current population of the Soviet Union, which has further declined compared to before the war, there is no hope that it can be developed even in a hundred years. In fact, it is very harmful to the Soviet Union.

It is a complete burden. Although the land on the Western Front is much smaller than Siberia, it has the population, industry and agriculture that the Soviet Union needs more. It is obvious which one is more valuable.

In fact, even China, which is small and densely populated, has found it difficult to fully develop Siberia with extremely harsh natural conditions in the past few decades. However, if Siberia can be obtained, it will have special strategic significance for China.

.

Due to geographical constraints, China is far away from the most elite eastern part of the United States, while the United States is closer to the most elite eastern part of China. This disadvantage is very fatal in a nuclear war, and even if nuclear missile technology advances, it cannot be completely eliminated.

Because the cost of increasing the range of a ballistic missile by two to three thousand kilometers is very high, and the high cost means that the number of nuclear missiles equipped is relatively small, and the longer flight distance also increases the possibility of being intercepted by the enemy.

.

As for nuclear submarines, since the waters in eastern China are generally very shallow, nuclear submarines are easily discovered when they go out. Although the South China Sea is deep enough, it requires a big detour and is surrounded by foreign countries. In addition, the first island chain is occupied by the United States.

Therefore, it is actually not easy for China’s ballistic missile nuclear submarines to reach the waters east of the United States where submarine-launched ballistic missiles can reach.

But if Siberia becomes Chinese territory, the situation will be very different. Whether China's nuclear missiles take the Arctic Ocean route or hit the United States from the Kamchatka Peninsula, their range can cover the entire United States, and nuclear submarines can hit even if they have just left the port.

To the United States, nuclear missiles from the United States have to fly much farther to reach the most elite areas in China. For nuclear submarines and overseas bases, the situation will be slightly better, but they will not be much advantageous.

In this way, China can completely ignore the nuclear blackmail of the United States, and with regard to the Soviet Union, which will inevitably have nuclear missiles in the future, China will also gain certain geographical advantages after acquiring Siberia. Of course, unlike the United States, China, which is also a mainland country,

If there is such a large land unsuitable for human survival between Su and Su, it will not be long after that.

It is easy to achieve long-term peaceful coexistence, because supply difficulties will make a full-scale war between the two countries seriously economical, and unless such an extremely rare opportunity occurs, a small fight is meaningless. Because of this,

Only then did Hu Weidong think that the Soviet government had the possibility of accepting this plan... (To be continued...)
