Beiyang reactionaries

Dai Kan immediately expressed his opinion.

Although the United Kingdom and the United States are speaking together, the current situation of the two countries is completely different.Britain is lingering, but the United States is thriving.After the war broke out, in addition to exporting arms, China mainly exported various strategic materials.And what the United States exports are all industrial products, which really make a lot of money.Both China and the United States are now making war fortunes, but the United States earns more than China.

Because of the outbreak of the war, the United States has completely walked out of the economic crisis, and the industry is thriving.

"At present, there is a lot of capital in the United States. Especially after the outbreak of the war, a large amount of hot money went to the United States for safety, which promoted the economic development of the United States and made the American society abundant. So much money has flowed into the United States, and they are all looking for new investment targets Chairman, I think the United States is different from the United Kingdom. We can give American capital more preferential conditions to allow them to invest in our country. At present, there are many factories invested by the United States in China, and the three largest projects are the United States Steel Corporation. The steel plant in Fushun, the oil and gas company of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey in Sichuan, and the automobile company of Ford Motor Company in Wuchang. These three projects have made a lot of money in my country over the years.”

There are many domestic American companies.

It's just that these three companies have the largest investment and the greatest influence.In fact, GM’s investment was also very large back then, but during the Great Depression, GM was eager to raise capital to return to China, so it could only transfer out its shares.Therefore, at present, General Motors in China, regardless of the name, is still General Motors. Most of the car models produced are under the brand of General Motors, but it has nothing to do with General Motors of the United States.It's just that when General Motors of the United States withdrew, it completely sold several brand car models in its hands to companies in China.

Without GM, the development of the other three companies in China has been smooth.After years of development, U.S. Steel's steel plant in Fushun has achieved an annual output of 300 million tons of crude steel, making it one of the top steel plants in China.

Moreover, it has given technical support to many domestic steel factories to increase their production and improve their quality.Not only in the production of pig iron, but also in metallurgy, the U.S. Steel Company has also come up with a lot of housekeeping skills.After the U.S. Steel Corporation invested in China, China's technology in steelmaking and metallurgy has made great progress.

Of course, these technical supports are not free, and China has spent a lot of money here.The U.S. Steel Corporation is in China, and it is a giant in the steel industry.Even if the government regulates the steel industry, U.S. Steel still makes a lot of money.Because the demand for steel in China's infrastructure construction has been astonishing in recent years.

There is also Standard Oil of New Jersey, which exploits natural gas in Sichuan and is currently the largest natural gas production company in China.To accommodate Standard Oil of New Jersey, most of Sichuan uses natural gas.Also began to study natural gas power generation.

Then there's the Ford Motor Plant.

This automobile company jointly established by Ford Motor Company and Wuhan Municipal Government is currently a leader in the domestic automobile industry.Whether it was making cars or making trucks at the behest of the government, Ford was doing very well and profitably.

Again.

When the general environment is good, you can make money by doing anything.When the general environment is not good, it is difficult to make money in whatever you do.This decade is a golden decade for China's development, and any industry is developing at a high speed.That is to say, there is no way to calculate GDP. If GDP is calculated, then the annual growth rate of China's GDP in the past ten years is estimated to easily exceed 20%.In such a fast-growing economy, as long as there are no major problems, you can make money in any business.

This is the case with these large companies in the United States.

Taking advantage of the wind of China's development, they are also making a lot of money in China.Let many American giants envy.

"I wonder if we can meet some big American consortiums in the United States, and we can communicate with each other."

"good idea."

Duan Xun nodded.

Duan Xun is very supportive of introducing foreign companies.As long as these companies do not touch some basic industries in China, then Duan Xun is not afraid of these companies coming in.Many people worry that foreign companies will take away China's money.

But this is just a common concern.

In Duan Xun's position, he only looks at the general direction and doesn't care about these details.

"You can meet with the American consortium. As long as they are willing to invest in our country, especially in industries, we welcome them all. There are many industries in our country that can invest in at present. As long as they are willing to invest, we can introduce some preferential policies to them. However We must be careful, the money must not flow into the financial industry, and we must guide these funds to build more factories. By the way, what is Wang Zhengting doing now?"

"I am currently in charge of communicating with countries around the world to see if the 1944th Olympic Games in 13 can be held in our country."

"Let him put it down first, and go to the United States to preside over this matter immediately. If possible, let him and American President Roosevelt also meet."

"Yes."

In 1940, especially after entering the second half of the year, the world situation became more complicated.

The biggest thing is the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, which is unprecedented in scale and can even be recorded in the annals of human history.Both the Soviet Union and Germany have invested more than 2000 million troops, and the total number of troops mobilized by the two countries currently exceeds [-] million.The Soviet Union is really powerful, with the most powerful mobilization ability in the world.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Soviet army lost tens of thousands of people every day. If it was such a loss in other countries, they would have raised their hands and surrendered.But the Soviet Union was completely different.After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Soviet Union immediately began to mobilize, mobilizing more than 500 million recruits within a month, and mobilizing tens of millions of troops within a few months.Although these recruits have no war experience, so they were not able to directly participate in the battle, but they have already begun to receive training.These recruits can go to the battlefield after only a few months of training.Many of the first batch of recruits mobilized have already begun to be incorporated into the army, ready to go to the battlefield.This is still the beginning. When the losses of the Soviet Union increase and the scale of the Soviet-German war becomes larger and larger, the Soviet Union will mobilize more and more troops.

Even the Soviet Union is the country with the most female soldiers in history. During World War II, a large number of women also carried guns to defend their homes and countries.In history, the Soviet Union lost a large amount of land, and the population of the remaining land was only more than 1 million.However, the Soviet Union was able to mobilize more than 2000 million people from this population.

This kind of mobilization ability is absolutely unmatched by ordinary countries.

Not only the Soviet-German war, but also the Myanmar campaign was in full swing.Japan assembled more than 50 troops and began to storm the British and Indian troops entrenched in Burma.This is the largest war fought in Southeast Asia since the Japanese army went south.

Although the British and Indian troops have been training for a long time, they really didn't perform very well against the Japanese army.Instead, they retreated steadily and lost half of Myanmar's land within a few months.

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen), tell us about the situation on the battlefield. Let's start with the Soviet Union."

The Supreme Committee will meet once in a few days, and everyone will exchange information about each other's work.

One of Li Jishen's roles is to report on the situation of world wars.

Because Li Jishen was born in the army, all the jobs he has to take on in the Supreme Committee are related to the army.Li Jishen was in charge of the usual contact between the Supreme Council and the Military Council, and it was also Li Jishen who briefed the Supreme Council on the situation on the battlefield.

Li Jishen immediately said: "The Soviet-German war has been fought for four and a half months, and the German army has not rushed like it was at the beginning, and the resistance of the Soviet army is becoming more and more fierce. At present, the Soviet-German war is mainly in Leningrad and Moscow. On the Leningrad side, the German army gathered 80 troops, and Hitler demanded to take Leningrad within a month. For this purpose, the German army was equipped with 6000 cannons, 4500 mortars and more than 1000 aircraft, and the Soviet side also Gather more than 100 million troops for defense. The battle is very fierce. Judging from the current situation, the Soviet Union is at an absolute disadvantage, and Germany has almost completely surrounded Leningrad."

Li Jishen immediately introduced the situation of the Soviet-German War.

fierce.

The situation of the Soviet-German war can only be described as fierce or tragic.Less than four months after the outbreak of the war, the number of casualties on the Soviet side exceeded 400 million.That's 400 million people, not 40.Moreover, they are all veterans of the Soviet Union, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than the more than 500 million recruits just mobilized.But it was such a force that lost more than 400 million people.This is not over yet, after the reintegration of the German army, it began to focus on attacking Moscow and Leningrad.

In these two battlefields alone, the troops of both sides add up to nearly 500 million troops.

The two sides fought for several months, and both sides suffered great losses.Soviet casualties were heavy, as were German casualties.With such casualties and such large-scale use of ammunition, such a large-scale battle can be launched, which shows the strength of the two countries.Both population potential and industrial potential are amazing.

"Can Leningrad block it?"

"It's more difficult. According to the information we have, the German army is almost completely defending Leningrad. It is difficult for Leningrad to get support from the rear, and it is difficult to transport materials in. Without support from the rear, it is definitely not easy to persist. But the German army wants to It is not so easy to easily occupy Leningrad. The resistance in Leningrad is very fierce. Recently, the German army has advanced at a speed of less than two kilometers per day. Every step forward will suffer heavy casualties."

The invincible German army at the beginning of the war began to be strongly blocked by the Soviet army.

The Soviet army also reacted from the panic at the beginning of the war.Not to mention other things about the Soviet army, there are really many troops.In less than four months, there were more than 400 million casualties, and millions of troops could be formed to stop the German army.

"What about Moscow?"

"The Battle of Moscow has erupted for about a month, and the Soviet Union still suffered heavy losses. After the Battle of Moscow broke out, in the Battle of Vyazma-Bryansk, the Soviet Union suffered a disastrous defeat, losing more than 70 troops. Because of this fiasco, the Soviet Union The army lost in the German war has exceeded 500 million troops. However, the Soviet military and civilian mobilization, a large number of militia divisions, and even women and children were organized to dig trenches outside Moscow. Those women and children alone dug 700 kilometers of anti-war trenches outside Moscow. Tank trenches. And in order to supplement the troops, Moscow once again mobilized 20 troops from the Novosibirsk Military District. Now Moscow still maintains a troop size of about 150 million.”

"Ah."

This is the Soviet-German battlefield, completely a flesh and blood mill.

There is no absolute strong and no absolute weak. Both countries are very powerful industrial countries.Every battle involves thousands of aircraft, thousands of tanks, and tens of thousands of cannons. It is normal for hundreds of thousands of bombs to be fired in a day.Under such circumstances, as long as there is a fight, the casualties are not a little bit.

Countless casualties.

At this time, what we look at is the willpower, endurance, and mobilization ability of both parties.Since the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Soviet Union has lost a large amount of land, more than 8000 million people, and more than 500 million troops.However, the Soviet Union still has the strength to mobilize more people to join the army and can endure tens of thousands of casualties every day.

"Militia division? Women and children? It seems that the casualties of the Soviet Union are really heavy."

"Yes."

Li Jishen nodded, and said: "Before the war, the population of the Soviet Union was around 1.8 million to 1.9 million. After losing places like Belarus and Ukraine, the current population of the Soviet Union is around 1.1 million to 1.2 million. But according to the analysis of the existing information, In less than 5 months of the war, the Soviet military and civilian casualties reached about 800 million. The proportion of casualties of this scale is definitely traumatic for the Soviet Union. Not to mention that the war has just begun. If this war continues In two or three years, the casualties of the Soviet Union will be immeasurable."

Now is not the cruelest time of the Soviet-German war.

Because after the war broke out, the German army attacked too fast.The real flesh and blood mill will have to wait until the second and third years after the outbreak of the Soviet-German War.At that time is the real flesh and blood mill, and the number of casualties will increase rapidly.
