Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 277 The sword points north? Baikal?

“Look quickly, it might be gone!”

 After struggling for nearly an afternoon, Huang He and Li Yunlong finally arrived at the reception hall of the 1st Marine Regiment before dusk.

Although they have not received any news for a long time, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo are still waiting patiently. The two of them made full use of their free time and sat indoors studying a rather special map.

 When they saw the guests coming in, they were sincerely happy and immediately stopped what they were doing and stood up to greet them.

 When friends meet again, they are extremely enthusiastic. After a brief exchange of greetings and hugs, everyone moved to the dining table together.

“Old Huang, we are apart from each other after the Hundred Regiments War. We haven’t seen each other for more than half a year. The good things you have researched have really helped our regiment a lot.”

“Come on, come on, take a seat quickly, don’t be polite to me! I’m going to notify the cooking team now, and the food and drinks will be here soon!”

"Today we have to have a few drinks and have a good chat. I am very interested in your life and work in the border area."

　　We are all old comrades who have fought side by side, and the four of us are young people of the same age. Naturally, we don’t need to be as restrained when chatting as we do at the headquarters.

 Five minutes later, the cook brought the dishes that Zhao Gang had arranged to go with the wine. Li Yunlong also took out his own collection of Fenjiu, and the table looked very rich.

After three rounds of drinking and chatting, the four gentlemen couldn't help but talk about the future direction of the war and the world pattern. All of you here are soldiers, and you cannot avoid these topics unless you deliberately avoid them.

Huang He drank too much today, and even his tongue felt a little uneasy this time. He asked curiously while peeling the peanuts:

“Old Zhao, when I just walked in, I saw you and Lao Xing studying a map.”

“Does the above involve the next phase of the army’s offensive plan? Show it out and let me take a look. Maybe my ability in military command is not as good as the three of you commanders, but strategic vision is my strength.”

“In a sense, I am the strongest politician in the Eighth Route Army and I know a little bit about everything.”

 Everyone has long been accustomed to new words popping up from time to time in the mouths of old comrades, and they can guess the general meaning based on their pronunciation.

As for the heroic words that the other party just patted his chest and released, they were not despised by Li, Zhao, and Xing. After all, past experiences have proven that Huang He has an excellent overall view.

That map is not a confidential document, and Zhao Gang will naturally not hide it. Under his leadership, everyone gathered around another clean table.

After the map he had been thinking about was spread out, Huang He took a deep breath and even woke up from his drunkenness.

The scale of this map is very small, not only covering the North China area where the Eighth Route Army is currently stationed, but also the entire eastern Europe. The interlocking arrows above are enough to prove the powerful intelligence ability of the mapper.

"Old Zhao, this should be just your own idea. Even if the deputy commander wants to take the opportunity to fight, the desperate fox and the army morale wizard will definitely not agree."

"I have to say that your idea is very bold, and you actually set your sights further north. It's a pity that the current hard power of our Eighth Route Army is not enough to participate in that level of war."

“Although the establishment of the three main forces is seriously exceeded, it is hard to say whether they can last for half a year on the European Eastern Front battlefield in the future.”

This is not that the Yellow River is making a fuss, the main thing is that there is a red arrow on the map in front of me starting from Shanxi and going straight north, even approaching the Siberian Railway and Lake Baikal.

 The importance of the former is not necessarily overwhelming. It is definitely an untouchable strategic artery for the north.

 After savoring it carefully again, Huang He couldn't help but admire Zhao Gang's strategic vision that was far ahead of the times.

The other party’s plan is highly consistent with my own, and is even more radical. He admired this kind of man from the bottom of his heart who had regained lost ground engraved in his bones.

 As expected of the leader of the student movement back then, his ambition and passion were almost beyond words.

Facing the question from his old friend, Zhao Gang explained with a smile:

"This is indeed my own personal idea, but I am not a reckless man who only thinks about killing. The arrow on the map is just a bold assumption."

"According to our existing intelligence, Desan has assembled a large number of troops in eastern Europe. If nothing else happens, the largest land war in human history is about to happen there, with a high probability of tens of millions of dollars. of."

“The more chaotic the world situation is, the greater our chances of rising. Regardless of ideology or camp, we and the North are at least nominal allies. When friendly forces are in trouble, it’s okay for me to find a way to provide some help.”

Although the border area is located in the northwest, it seems to be firmly blocked by the Holy Iron Wall.

However, comrades have always attached great importance to intelligence work, and with the cooperation of allies in western Europe and northern Africa, international disturbances can basically not escape the eyes of the big bosses.

At the beginning of this year, both Master Luo and Fatty Qiu issued warnings to Dalinzi, and even Maozi's intelligence officers lurking in Desan risked their lives to send secret telegrams.

 All intelligence indicates one thing, that is, Mustache finally cannot help but attack to the east!

After the defeat of the Gallic Chicken, the British relied on the geographical advantages of the English Channel, the Royal Navy, the third largest in the world, and the Royal Air Force's tenacious resistance in the Battle of Britain to fight to the end in Europe.

With no sea or air control, and a large number of garrison troops stationed at Portsmouth Port, the Sea Lion plan was naturally a complete failure.

Since the Daiying who still has a few teeth cannot be taken down for a while, Desan must make full use of his large and invincible army.

Mao Zi, who has a vast land and abundant resources, possesses many strategic resources, and has also abandoned his martial arts skills, naturally became the target of Mustache.

 In the catastrophe that year, the other side lost three marshals, 13 group army-level cadres, 57 army commanders and 110 division commanders.

 The "allies" are in the midst of recuperation and recuperation. How could we not take action now?

What's more, the opponent's performance in the winter war had already made Mustache convinced of the weakness of the bear.

 Faced with "allies" that are ready to move, the north is not without countermeasures. They are also intensively mobilizing resources and making strategic preparations before the war in order to respond steadily to the upcoming war.

After all, as early as six years ago, there were people who were wary of danger in times of peace. The dead Tushuai sharply pointed out that the French Army was conservative and strong on the outside but incompetent on the inside. This means that there must be a battle between the Soviet Union and Germany, which have powerful armies on the European continent.

 At the beginning of the war, the first priority must be to fill the positions that have been killed and removed.

If there is no unified command and dispatch of the troops, the soldiers will be scattered. Even if you have brave warriors and powerful weapons, they will only be reduced to the enemy's achievements on the battlefield.

 Fortunately, current events create heroes, and heroes are also at the right time, so the Three Fantasy Gods of the Army, headed by Zhu, Luo, and Ke, came into being.

 After a great purge, many famous generals were still able to be cobbled together. It can only be said that Maozi has a profound foundation and a large number of talents.

  Secondly, it is to predict the enemy's center of attack and build a corresponding defense system. The deputy director of the General Staff Operations Bureau focused the defense on the north of the Pripyat Swamp. The reason is simple. The road from Minsk to Smolensk is the best road in the entire north.

As early as the last century, there were great battles along this road, and Napoleon once marched east along this road. Tokusan's army commanders were all capable soldiers, and there was no reason to abandon the route with the least supply pressure.

It's a pity that my leaders have to focus on the defense south of the Pripyat Swamp.

 Today is a special era. Even if Dalinzi's decision is wrong, no one in the army dares to disobey his orders. Reality is not like games that have a paranoia system that can balance Dalinzi's paranoia based on many decisions.

 Their lives are their own, and their predecessors reminded them at the cost of their blood that there is no need to be **** themselves. The focus of defense was eventually changed to the south of the Pripyat Swamp.

Dalinzi has his own reasonable reasons for thinking this way. As an ally who has been working together for a while, he thinks he has a certain understanding of the war economics that Mustache advocates.

  It's like "claiming the Sudetenland", pointing the sword at Czechoslovakia.

From an economic point of view, to put it bluntly, it is to obtain the local industrial resources, coal, iron and lead and other mineral resources of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Only by acquiring sufficient strategic material reserves, Mustache can achieve the purpose of supporting war with war and prepare for the next stage of expansion.

 The subsequent war situation was even more predictable. The economic purpose of "Danzig or War" was to obtain agricultural resources.

The unrippled plains cover a huge area, and planting and animal husbandry are extremely developed, which can enrich their granary. What's more, there are oil fields in the Lviv area that are urgently needed by Germany. The operation of the huge war machine is indispensable for the consumption of a large amount of oil.

 When attacking Poland, Britain and France will naturally become the enemies that Mustache needs to face directly.

 But high risks mean high returns. The rich mineral and agricultural resources in western Europe can make Germany's national strength reach a new level again.

At the same time, France's huge shipbuilding industry can also enable Mustache to have a powerful fleet that can compete with the British Royal Navy.

 The German fleet sailing from southern France can cooperate with the Italian fleet to dominate our seas and bring North Africa under its control. In this way, the local rich oil resources can be captured by the Axis powers and provide sufficient fuel for the war.

 Czechoslovakian industry, Polish food, North African oil, and French industry and resources are all linked to the economics of war.

Every war is for the purpose of supporting war with war. With constant plunder, Desan will sooner or later have the strength to conquer the world and defeat ugly countries with its feet, leading heroes and punches.

According to Dalinzi’s prediction, Mustache will definitely continue to use the previous routine.

 The primary target will be the Caucasus and Ukraine. After all, the oil and agriculture there are treasures that no country can ignore.

 We have to admit that the idea of ​​a loving father is not wrong. Even his war economics is very good, but it's a pity that Dezo has no intention of completing it this year.

In order to stabilize their "allies", the Maozi prepared for war while declaring that their friendship would last forever. A new economic agreement was even signed in early 2041 to continue transporting strategic materials such as oil and food.

At the same time, Dalinzi is still paying attention to the international wool price. After all, throughout the ages, if you want to attack the northern countries, you must prepare winter cotton clothes, otherwise even the natural barrier of General Winter will not be passed.

After listening to Zhao Gang’s reasonable analysis, Huang He couldn’t help but nod his head.

Based on the intelligence currently possessed by the Eighth Route Army, the other party has listed almost all possibilities reasonably.

 After thinking for a moment, he stood up and came to the top of the map, and then expressed his views on the formation of both sides:

"Look here, everyone. I think that once the war breaks out, the north will suffer a big loss in a short period of time. The defenders hoarding at the border may seem to be very powerful, but they may be ripped apart by the elite troops with mustaches in one fell swoop. "

“Everyone here is a soldier, and you should know that in the current era, almost no one can stop Germany’s armored forces + aerial bombardment. I boldly predict that by the end of this year, the Germans will have a high probability of penetrating all the important cities in the north.”

“That’s a good time to show off our skills. We must make reasonable use of the opportunity to regain lost ground.”

The so-called regaining lost territory at the mouth of the Yellow River does not mean sending troops to take advantage of the situation during the war. After all, Europe still has to rely on the idiots to hold it back, and the defeat of the Allies will do no good to itself at all.

As an ally and a force directly bordering the country, it is reasonable for us to support some weapons and equipment when the industrial capabilities of friendly forces are greatly reduced.

They are all anti-French allies. I don’t even charge the cost price for the aid materials I give you. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I am selling my kidneys to aid the Soviet Union.

 In order for my transport team to have a convenient route, do I have to use the north and northeast of North China?

The war on the frontline is so fierce, you guys will definitely not be able to spare the troops to station in the territory. After all, even the aborigines rode horses and led sheep to fill the battlefield. As an ally, there is no problem for me to send people to help you guard that three-quarter acre of land.

Don't thank me, who made us the moral benchmark?

 Volunteer army? Expedition?

  I'm sorry, there are still a large number of enemies active in our North China region, and our people cannot live without us. What's more, the Eighth Route Army only has three divisions and cannot cause any big troubles.

What's more, the Asian battlefield is also very important. Keeping an eye on the Japanese is also for the security of your rear area.

What? Don't you agree?

 Who dares to be presumptuous in front of +5 De San? Believe it or not, you and the Three Kingdoms of the Soviet Union and the Three Kingdoms have drained the blood of a generation of young people and can barely draw a tie with the enemy.

 I hope you will not be ungrateful and accept the planes, tanks, guns and ammunition we send.

Looking at Huang He with a magnanimous smile on his face, Li, Zhao and Xing rubbed their arms that had goosebumps. This cultural man is really shady, and his methods of getting things done are really clever.

“Old Huang, do you think the north will not be able to withstand it? The thought of a war involving tens of millions of people makes one’s scalp numb.”

Faced with Li Yunlong's question, Huang did not answer directly, but told a seemingly unrelated allusion.

“You know the intelligence from the allies, Desan’s battle plan is called Barbarossa.”

“The red-bearded Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who attempted to conquer Eastern Europe, fell into a river and drowned while leading his troops.”

“No matter how fierce the offensive is, it will only be a flash in the pan, and the story of The Man in the High Castle will never happen.”

   I always firmly believe that our history is very powerful
