Song Biao was not willing to participate in the actual negotiations, but he was still forced to participate and was entangled with Commissioner Vyacheslav Molotov for these trivial issues.

The Soviet Union did not want to perish, and China did not want the Soviet Union to perish prematurely.

After a long negotiation, Commissioner Vyacheslav Molotov and the Imperial Central Military Department initially reached a new secret agreement - the Soviet Union abandoned the Kazakh and Georgia and recognized the prerogative and freedom of Georgia, the Democratic Republic of Kazakhstan.

, recognize China and the Asian League's leadership over Central Asia, and promise not to support Soviet organizations in the Asian League members.

On this basis, China will agree to sell a total of more than 4 billion yuan of military supplies to the Soviet Union, including 3 million M35 assault rifles, 7,550 tanks and other armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, and 2,400 J-5D tiger shark fighter bombers.

, 1,700 J-404 fighter jets, 1,500 BF120 rocket launchers... Moreover, China and the Asian League countries will purchase the Soviet Union's foreign debt, which is equivalent to supporting the Soviet Union in disguise to purchase all the necessary materials.

Whether China and the Soviet Union can finally reach this contract, in fact, they have to wait until Commissioner Vyacheslav Molotov returns to Moscow before reporting to General Secretary Joseph Stalin. If Stalin does not agree to this transaction, then he can only

As if nothing had happened.

As for the conditions proposed by Viacheslav Molotov, once the Sino-Soviet agreement reaches a final secret agreement, China and the Asian League must give up all support for Germany and instead fully support the Soviet Union to win the war. The imperial side does not

Agree, never accept it.

While the Imperial Central Military Department was preparing to conduct huge military purchases with the Soviet Union, it restored its reputation as a senior army general, and Chen Wu, who replaced General Cai E as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Defense Force and the commander-in-chief of the Asian League East Asia Military Region, was carrying out a large-scale development of the Northeast Defense Forces.

targeted adjustments.

Chen Wu is a veteran expert in mountain warfare and traditional Suvorov mobile warfare theory. The adjustments he made to the Northeast Army were obviously different from Cai E who was steady and innovative. He first adjusted the upper limit of the first-level squad of the entire army, and the

The scale of individual infantry squads has increased to 18 to 20, which is equivalent to half an infantry platoon in peacetime, and the firepower configuration of infantry squads has been greatly improved, using the M1938\40 type 8mm sniper rifle commonly known as the 38th sniper

Replace the M1925\33 Hanyang semi-automatic sniper rifle, each infantry squad will ensure at least two heavy sniper rifles to make up for the medium and long-range shooting disadvantages brought by the replacement of the M35 assault rifle of the entire army. The M40 7.62mm universal machine gun is even more large-scale.

Replace light machine guns, serving large-scale service in the Army.

Secondly, a 33N system is adopted, with each platoon under its jurisdiction and each company under its jurisdiction. The previous mortar squad was banned through the expansion of infantry squad personnel, and the mortar combat squad was directly assigned to the infantry squad.

, expand the combat capabilities of the squad level, but at the battalion level, each battalion will usually be expanded to a huge scale of 10 to 14 companies, and will be equipped with more professional companies such as engineering, communication, reconnaissance, and logistics, so that the battalion will be

Level 1 can have the combat scale and scope of the previous regiment-level combat units. In actual combat, it also relies more on battalion-level troops to adapt to the characteristics of many small-scale conflicts and garrisons in mountain combat and many offensive points.

Third, in addition to the three elite armored divisions and seven light tank brigades retained for urban combat, Chen Wu dismantled all armored troops under the Northeast Defense Force into armored battalions and inserted them into various infantry regiments.

Fourth, Chen Wu established the Army Center of the Northeast Defense Forces as artillery again, and formed four artillery divisions, 14 artillery brigades and 9 rocket artillery brigades on a large scale, which would not be suitable for the replacement of 120mm howitzers in the battlefields of North Korea and Japan.

Larger-scale equipment is particularly suitable for the battlefield's ZP15 88mm self-propelled howitzer and ZP18 105mm self-propelled light howitzer, as well as the M1937 truck-torped 105mm light howitzer.

Chen Wu completely uses these three types of self-propelled and manned artillery as the main equipment of the entire Northeast Defense Forces, while the M1934 120mm towed howitzer, M1930\38 130mm cannon, and M1933 ​​152mm cannon is only specially deployed in various artillery divisions and artillery forces.

Brigade, used to cooperate with infantry and armored troops to suppress a small number of heavy fortresses from the Japanese army.

The artillery regiments under each infantry division will be replaced with ZP15 type 88mm self-propelled howitzer or M1937 type 105mm light howitzer, while the artillery brigades will be mainly composed of ZP18 type 105mm self-propelled light howitzer.

Fifth, Chen Wu comprehensively rectified and sorted out the four armies, ensuring that each army had 5-7 infantry divisions, and at least two armored tank brigades, one artillery division, three artillery brigades, and two rocket artillery

The brigade, whether it is the main elite troops or the newly formed infantry division, all have a comprehensive infantry brigade to serve as the reserve force of our division to adapt to the high casualty rate of mountain and urban combat. At the same time, our division's

The reserve brigade can be operated as a logistics brigade during normal stages and is responsible for assisting in transportation.

Sixth, Chen Wu removed all the troops with poor performance before and converted them into logistics and reserve forces. Regardless of the history and honorary records of the troops, including the Third Mountain Division he once created.

Through this series of adjustments, Chen Wu rectified the entire army in just a few months, reducing the main force to 1.275 million, while the scale of the reserve force and logistics force increased to 1.1 million, almost

On average, each frontline soldier can maintain a reserve logistics soldier behind him.

At the level of generals, Chen Wu also made a large-scale adjustment. After Wei Lihuang was transferred to the Siberian Military Region, he promoted Huang Baitao to serve as commander of the Second Army. The commander of the First Army was replaced by Lieutenant General Liu Yazhao and Xue Yue served as the role of the former.

The commander of the Fourth Army Group, Zhang Zizhong, continued to serve as the commander of the Third Army Group.

A group of middle-aged and young and middle-aged people performed well or had good performance in the early stage of the battle, and a large number of school officials such as Xu Wei and Su Bin were promoted to major generals, serving as commanders and chiefs of staff of each main division, and each division was

Almost half of the teaching lengths of the year were replaced.

Chen Wu's actions on the Korean battlefield were too big, which caused some criticism in the Central Defense Forces, but no one dared to say too much. After all, he was the earliest group of senior generals. In terms of military merits, except for Zhao Tingzhu

Cai E, several senior army generals in active service, could not compare with him.

In fact, it is precisely because of such qualifications and the emperor's trust that Chen Wu was able to let go of his hands to make such large-scale adjustments and changes on the Korean battlefield.

After his adjustment, the Northeast Defense Forces had more obvious advantages in land decisive battles against the Japanese army than before. With such a foundation, the Battle of Busan finally started on July 22, 1940. After this battle, the Japanese army will be completely defeated.

Cleared out.

When the Sino-Japanese War lasted to this extent, the situation of the Japanese army facing Chen Wu's Northeast Defense Forces again was bound to be very bad. For Japan, the fact that China has basically completed the circular blockade strategy.

Deployment: Once Japan repeats the mistakes of the Ryukyu Islands in the Sulfur Islands, Japan will be completely blocked by the Chinese navy, army and air force, and all Japan's foreign trade and exchanges will be completely interrupted.

Japan is a country with no manganese ore at all. Once it is blocked, even if there are coal mines of a certain scale and a small amount of iron ore in the country, it cannot smel steel. So what modern war is there?

The situation of being blocked in a circular manner is impossible to avoid. The Japanese base camp is very clear about this and they are also looking for many ways, including using submarines to transport overseas resources to continue to maintain the war, etc.

For the Chinese Empire, it is a relatively relaxing moment. The country's military expenditure has decreased compared with last year and the first half of the year, and the total burden and pressure on the central government's finances are not serious. With the destruction of the Japanese Navy, the empire

The external maritime trade channel has restored its former peace and eliminated most of Japan's military armed forces outside the mainland. The empire occupied most of Japan's colonies in the Pacific.

After occupying the Marina Islands and the Marshall Islands, the Empire established a new military base in Guam. As the United States feared, without the restraint of the Japanese Navy, the Imperial Navy had occupied control of the entire Western Pacific Ocean, a huge naval scale.

Beyond Britain and the United States, become one of the three most powerful naval powers in the world.

The Empire maintained its consistent policy in Southeast Asia, and continued to cut Indonesia out of two overseas provinces, Sulawesi, while Papua established a new republic to prepare to join the Asian League. The Empire continued to go to these three regions.

Large-scale immigration, in the next ten years, the empire will immigrate 1.5 million people to Sulawesi overseas provinces, expanding the proportion of Chinese people in the local population to a scale of 70, thereby firmly controlling the Sulawesi region in the empire.

In the territory, it gradually changed from an overseas province to an autonomous province like Guangxi and Chahar.

The territory of the Chinese Empire will continue to expand. In the past, it was mainly based on land expansion, but now it is mainly based on ocean expansion.

The empire is also reexamining its own territorial policy. Now there is a major controversial issue at home. How to deal with post-war Japan. Gu Weijun made a bolder proposal, but has not been made public outside. He believes that just as Japan was in the first place.

The stolen Taiwan during the Sino-Japanese War, just like Ryukyu, the empire should stolen Hokkaido from Japan.

Considering that the total population of Japan in the Hokkaido region is about 800,000, this is quite difficult, but it is indeed a very good proposal.

Compared with the proposal of the military to seize Kyushu Island, Gu Weijun's proposal is easier to operate.

Under the premise of owning Jeju Island, the strategic status of Kyushu Island is not important to the empire. If the empire can obtain Hokkaido, the empire will completely consolidate the entire Far East and work with the United States to conquer the entire Bering Strait.

After signing a secret agreement with the Soviet Union, Song Biao's attention has been on the battles of Hokkaido and Iwo Jima. As for other matters, he did not pay much attention. After the hot summer came, Song Biao decided to go for four consecutive days.

After experiencing the summer heat in Chengde in 2018, he went to Lushan Summer Palace to escape the summer heat again.

On the eve of the Battle of Busan and the Battle of Iwo Jima, the royal family took a special train to Lushan County.

In recent years, the Lushan Conference has been under the responsibility and preparation of the parliament. The topics discussed are wider, but they are still limited to the domestic. Major issues in East Asia are held at the annual Macau Forum, Central and Western Asia and Arabia.

The problem was held in Almaty.

These three forum meetings and the Beijing Asian Alliance Cooperation Forum and the Shanghai Free Trade Forum are the five most important forums in the empire, and are also the main conference areas for discussing various issues at home and abroad in China, Asia and the world.

Unlike the Lushan Conference, which discussed various issues in China in previous years, even the 7th Five-Year Plan being formulated was not included in this year's Lushan Conference. This year's Lushan Conference only has one magical theme - China twenty years later!

The Ministry of Culture and Education has made a unique choice this year to set the composition topic of the National Joint Examination "China Twenty Years Later". This is a complete science fiction test question. For those young people who like Verne, this is simply their 100th anniversary.

A joint examination question that happened once.

On the special train to Lushan on this day, the Ministry of Culture and Education prepared a very interesting train book for the emperor, "National High School Joint Examination Full Score Composition Collection", which was exactly the book that Song Biao chose himself, and he really wanted to pass this

One way to see the young people’s ideas and the imagination of Chinese youth.

The train was speeding past the Beijing-Guangzhou Line.

This is a national major artery railway that has been completely electrified. In the joint research plan of the Central Transportation Research Institute and Northeast Heavy Industry, Central Railway Company, Far East Railway Company, Southern Railway Company, and Southern Railway Company, China's first high-speed electrical railway development project.

It will also be initially concluded at the end of this year. First, such a brand new high-speed railway will be built from Hangzhou to Shanghai.

After the technical verification is over, the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and Far East Railway will use relevant technologies together to speed up the second major artery railway trunk roads in the country. Imperial Railway technology is far ahead of other countries in the world.

In 1903, Siemens, Germany completed the development of a three-phase AC electrical train. In the test in October of that year, the prototype vehicle reached an amazing speed of 210.2 km/h. Although for a long time, the electrical railway was just one.

The legendary science fiction works are still far from human life, and their amazing speed has not been shown in actual operation for a long time.

With the continuous progress of science and technology, various problems and difficulties were conquered, in 1933, the Imperial Far East Railway Company completed the development of the electrical high-speed railway project, which led the Imperial Electric Railway to the first major acceleration stage, and the whole country

The average speed of electrical railways began to break through the 120 km/h mark.

According to the Ministry of Transportation's plan, in 1945, the average speed of the national electrical railway in the Empire will reach the standard of 140 km/h, and the national railway electrification ratio will also exceed 75. The high-speed railway standard formulated by the Empire is more than 180 km/h, with the highest

The Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Railway, which has an experimental speed of more than 220 km/h, will be the first real high-speed railway in the empire.

Even though the era of expressways has arrived and the proportion of road transportation is increasing, railway freight is still the center of the imperial transportation industry. Considering the energy efficiency ratio, the imperial still provides more policy support for railway freight.

Freight railways are gradually parting ways from high-speed passenger railways and breaking into two systems.

Taking the Oriental train, Song Biao and his royal family enjoyed the joy of hiring on land at high speed. Although the speed of 140 km/h is far from the peak limit of the Imperial Technology limit, for

For passengers of this era, people already have enough reasons to be happy, and people also have enough reasons to be proud of the technological achievements of the empire.

The train is fast and the train is quiet.

Song Biao can smoke a cigar leisurely and watch the full-score essays written by high school students in the joint examination answer sheet. In these more than 140 full-score essays, almost all the imaginations of the younger generation.

The strange science fiction articles make Song Biao, as a reader, quite interesting.

These essays include soft science fiction and solid hard science fiction.

The establishment of liberal arts and science subjects in the imperial high schools is strictly prohibited. All students must receive complete preparatory education and only start to receive professional subject education in their sophomore year, such as Central Polytechnic University, Central Imperial University, and Zhendan University, which are leading the country in research.

The university does not set any major restrictions in the early stages. Students only need to be admitted to the university. Only sophomores need to choose majors. The science and engineering majors of Zhendan University and Central University of Science and Technology take five years to obtain a bachelor's degree.
