Beiyang reactionaries

At that time, not only military casualties, but also civilian casualties will rise sharply.

"What about other directions?"

"The German Army Group South has occupied the southwestern part of the Donbass, and is now gathering its forces. It should be preparing to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Rostov Group and open the gateway to the Caucasus. Not long ago, an army group from the Novosibirsk Military District went south to the Caucasus area in case the Germans attack the Caucasus.”

"Caucasus?"

Duan Xun looked at the map to understand the situation of the Soviet-German war.

The Soviet-German war is getting bigger and bigger, which is a good thing for China.Because the larger the scale of the fight between them, the more supplies the two countries need.This is a good thing for Duan Xun who is preparing to make war fortune.

But it is precisely because of the war fortune that China needs more accurate battlefield intelligence to understand the world situation.In this way, diplomatic choices will be more flexible.

"Is the Soviet army really relieved? Such a large mobilization of troops from the Novosibirsk Military Region?"

Duan Xun was a little puzzled.

Historically, when Stalin was most critical in Europe, he hoarded heavy troops in the Far East to guard against Japanese surprise attacks.When the number of the Far East Army was the smallest, it kept around 70 people.And soon recovered more than 100 million.

Why is it so fun this time.

The troops of the Novosibirsk Military District also suffered heavy losses in last year's war.Although some supplements were made later, the total number of troops was only about 70.Compared with the Xinjiang Military Region on the opposite side, although it has begun to withdraw and merge, there are currently one million troops in the field army alone, not to mention the construction corps of about 300 million.The Novosibirsk Military District mobilized 20 troops when the Moscow campaign was tense.Another group army was transferred from the Caucasus, so that more than half of the troops of the Soviet Novosibirsk Military Region were gone.

"Chairman, we have analyzed that since the days of Tsarist Russia, they have been going east for the sea outlets of the Far East. However, after the Sino-Soviet War, the Soviet Union lost the possibility of having sea outlets in the Far East. Under such circumstances, the Far East is in the Soviet Union's The status should have plummeted. Compared with the Far East, the most important thing for the Soviet Union at present is to defend the Caucasus and the Ural industrial zone. Therefore, most of the training of Soviet recruits is currently placed on the Ural military region. The task of the troops in the Novosibirsk military region should be Not to defend Novosibirsk or Central Asia, but to defend the Ural Military District."

"Maybe. But the Soviet Union's deployment of troops like this is a good thing for us, and it will greatly reduce the pressure on our border. By the way, send some young officers to observe the Soviet-German war."

"Yes."

During a war, it is normal to send some military observation missions.

The Soviet-German War was the most intense war in World War II. There were many famous generals on both sides, and various new tactics and new weapons appeared.It is also good for young Chinese military officers to observe and observe.

"What about Myanmar?"

"The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Britain. The British and Indian Army East Group Army in the Battle of Mandalay resisted the Japanese army coming from Taunggyi and suffered a disastrous defeat. The Japanese army captured more than 5 prisoners alone. Although the British and Indian troops currently rely on geographical advantages , coupled with the continuous reinforcements and supplies from Myitkyina, we can continue to resist. However, it is only half a month before the British and Indian troops withdraw from Mandalay."

"How to say?"

"At present, the Japanese and Siamese (Thailand) forces are attacking Lashio, and the situation in Lashio is in dire straits. Once Lashio is captured by the Japanese army, the only way for the British and Indian troops to avoid being dumped by the Japanese army is to retreat."

"What about the Japanese casualties?"

"It shouldn't be small. In order to attack Mandalay, the Japanese army concentrated 7 divisions to attack. However, Mandalay's geographical location is very good, and it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Japanese army has been attacking for a full month. Up to now Mandalay was not captured either. Even if the British-Indian Army East Group Army made a big mistake and suffered heavy losses, the Japanese army still did not capture Mandalay. In order to defend Mandalay, the British-Indian Army also made great determination. More than 270 aircraft of various types were dispatched, and almost half of the British and Indian air forces were sent out. After this battle, the Japanese army is estimated to have at least tens of thousands of casualties. The Japanese commander-in-chief of the Mandalay Battle, Hisao Nishio, because He was unable to take Mandalay for a long time, and the Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties, so he was dismissed by Terauchi Shouichi. At present, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army who led the Japanese army to attack Mandalay has become Seishiro Sakagaki. It can be seen that the Japanese base camp is very concerned about Mandela The Battle of Le was not satisfactory."

"Ah."

Germany, Italy and Japan currently have the absolute upper hand in the war.

"Pay close attention to the situation on the battlefield."

"Yes."

"How is Wang Zhengting's situation in the United States?"

662

"How is Wang Zhengting's situation in the United States?"

It has been more than a month since Wang Zhengting was dispatched to the United States.

"The situation is relatively good. Many consortiums in the United States have met with him and asked about some domestic policies. As long as certain conditions are met in the country, some of them are really interested in investing in our country."

"What consortiums are there?"

"DuPont Group."

"DuPont?"

"Yes."

Wang Zhengting has been busy with the Olympic Games.

1940 was supposed to be the No.12 Olympic Games, held in Tokyo, Japan.But it can only be canceled because of the war. The No.1944 Olympic Games in 13 should be held in London.But the current situation, London is definitely not able to host the Olympic Games.

Therefore, Wang Zhengting hopes that China will host the Olympic Games.Or even if the Olympics cannot be held in 1944 due to the war, it can be postponed to 1948, or 1952.China has not hosted any Olympic Games so far.So in order to make China more integrated into the world, Wang Zhengting has been working hard, just wanting to let China host an Olympic Games.Use this method to increase exchanges between China and countries around the world.

But because of the incident where Yosuke Matsuoka made a statement unfavorable to China in the name of the Asia United Organization.So in order to ease the relationship with the United States, Duan Xun still sent Wang Zhengting.

This is because Duan Xun attaches great importance to the relationship with the United States, so he sent Wang Zhengting.Wang Zhengting is relatively experienced in China's diplomatic front and has participated in many negotiations.Wang Zhengting's going to the United States itself represents some goodwill released by China.Of course, Duan Xun also hopes that Wang Zhengting can really attract some American companies to invest in China.

"According to Wang Zhengting's report, DuPont developed a new type of 'synthetic silk' in 1935 and displayed it at the New York World's Fair last year. However, due to the outbreak of war, DuPont discontinued this 'synthetic silk' ' production. But DuPont is very optimistic about the future of this product. If my country is willing to give some preferential terms, DuPont is willing to set up a branch in my country to specialize in the production of this 'synthetic silk'."

"Synthetic silk, synthetic silk."

Duan Xun nodded.

This should be the later nylon.

Such new technologies and new products will have a huge market space in the future.Since the opening of the "Lease Act" in the United States, the industry has begun to turn to the production of military products.DuPont Group, as a large consortium in the United States, is one of the companies that mainly produce military products.So it is understandable to stop producing synthetic silk and concentrate on producing other military products.

So he immediately said: "We can contact DuPont and try our best to introduce them to set up a branch in our country. Needless to say, preferential terms in terms of land and taxation can also be given in terms of loans. This kind of industrial investment should be strongly welcomed in our country."

"Any other companies you want to invest in?"

"Many companies have contacted us. Some pharmaceutical companies are willing to produce some drugs and medical devices in our country if my country relaxes restrictions and allows them to set up factories in our country."

"Pharmaceutical companies, yes."

As long as he wants to invest and build a factory in China, Duan Xun welcomes it.

During the second five-year plan, China invested in the construction of many pharmaceutical companies, including companies that produce medical devices.But at present, the technology is still relatively backward.Facing competition from US pharmaceutical companies, it will definitely be very difficult.

But it's not impossible to compete.

And maybe with the competition from American companies, it is possible to gather more talents in this field in China, which can also promote the development of China's pharmaceutical industry.More importantly, some foreign companies invest in and build factories in China, which can also increase China's exports.

"There are also some beverage companies that want to build factories in China. The Coca-Cola Company of the United States is very willing to invest and build factories in China."

"agree."

Coca-Cola has been in China for more than ten years and is sold in major cities in China.At present, Coca-Cola sells more than 400 million cans in China every year, which is one of the important markets for Coca-Cola abroad.

It is also understandable that Coca-Cola wants to reduce the transportation process and directly invest and build factories in China.

"Tell Wang Zhengting that as long as it is not an investment in basic industries, he can directly decide. Unless it involves industries such as finance, communications, transportation, and resources, it needs the approval of the cabinet and the Supreme Committee. We welcome investment in other fields."
