s: The child went to the hospital for an infusion yesterday, so there was a delay.
Moscow, June 17, 1938, AD 2779.
At an air force base in Moscow, Air Force Major General Andrei Nikolayevich Prenyakov, the youngest air force general in the Soviet Union, was watching the test flights of several new aircraft.
Prenyakov looked at the new aircraft in front of him in surprise and asked: "Is this the MiG-1?"
This aircraft flew at a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour in the test flight just now.
Mikoyan said quickly: "Yes, Comrade Deputy Chief of Staff, this is our MiG-1 fighter.
This is a high-speed, high-altitude interceptor aircraft.
It uses the latest turbocharged engine with a power of up to 2,300 horsepower.
Therefore, its maximum flight altitude reaches 16,000 meters and its maximum speed exceeds 740 kilometers per hour."
"It seems that these should be the last batch of piston engines.
From now on, we will still have to look at jet engines," Prenyakov muttered in a low voice.
The appearance of this aircraft is indeed very different from the original work of the same name, and the design of the fuselage and wings already has a somewhat later style.
"What did you say?"
Mikoyan asked.
"Oh, I mean it's great," Prenyakov said with a smile: "It's a great airplane, Comrade Mikoyan, Comrade Grevich, you have made great contributions to the Soviet Union."
The aircraft participating in the test were not only the MiG-1, but also the Lager-3 of the Lavochkin Design Bureau and the Yak-1 of the Yakovlev Design Bureau.
Of course, these aircraft are very different from the products of the same name, both in appearance and performance.
In general, they are more advanced.
Since they introduced China's "advanced" engines, the single-machine power of the aircraft has increased to more than 2,000 horsepower.
Prenyakov turned to the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry and asked: "Comrade Chaikov, how is the imitation of Chinese engines?"
Tchaikov said with an embarrassed look: "The progress is not very satisfactory, Comrade Prenyakov."
Although Prenyakov was only a major general, Chaikov showed an attitude toward his superiors.
It doesn't matter if someone's administrative level is higher than him.
After all, it's not a system.
But the most terrible thing is that he is the most popular person in front of Stalin, the kind that is so red.
"Didn't we buy a complete set of drawings and process information from China?
Can't we do this?
Didn't they finish it?"
Prenyakov frowned.
"Well, the Chinese have given us all the information and drawings," Chaikov explained in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "But it is a pity that the process requirements of Chinese engines are too high, and our factory cannot yet produce qualified imitations.
We are now Although the finished product can reach the level of Chinese products in terms of power, its lifespan is much lower.
We can only guarantee 200 hours of normal use, while the first overhaul time of Chinese products can be 2,000 hours.”
"Damn it, since the Chinese have given you complete blueprints, but you tell me that you can't build the same engine, you are still the clever, wise, noble, and perfect Yali'an people who lead the progress of human civilization.
"Your poor performance has brought shame to the empire."
Almost at the same time, Mustache was also roaring angrily at the bosses of engine companies such as BW, Siemens, Maybach, and Porsche.
German designers grew up on fodder, and Mustache has basically agreed with this point, but he didn’t expect that even in the industrial manufacturing aspect that he is most proud of, these bastards are also failing.
Even if you say that you can’t design good things, it doesn’t matter.
Now, I can’t make the same thing if I follow it.
This is really a fool’s errand.
The mustache's eyes were almost on fire now, and words such as "concentration camp", "gas chamber" and "soap" were constantly running through his mind.
I really want to make soap out of these wastes, the mustache’s soul is screaming.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, it is not impossible to make it," the head of bw explained bravely: "We can make products in the laboratory that are as good as Chinese products.
However, once we enter mass production, the quality cannot be obtained.
Guaranteed” "Is this why the empire's production technology is so inferior to China's?
I have been to Hebei Province, China's heavy industry base."

The mustache stared at this guy with red eyes, thinking to himself, if this guy dares to cheat, I swear.
We must send you to a concentration camp.
The president of bw said quickly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, not only the production industry, our German craftsmanship level is no worse than China's."
Well, now no one dares to boast that "Germany's craftsmanship level is the best in the world."
Of course, they are still better than the Soviet Union, at least they can still produce it at the laboratory level.
"Materials are mainly a matter of materials, Your Excellency Prime Minister."
Dr.
Porsche helped: "Although we can perfectly copy the Chinese engine, the metallurgical industry cannot provide suitable high-temperature resistant alloys, so such engines are just fake."
Yes, China sold them the drawings and process data of the engine, but as for the materials, that is another matter.
It would be better to buy the finished product.
"Damn, there are so many samples in China, why don't you dismantle a few for analysis?"
Mustache was angry.
If you can’t copy it well, you all should go to hell.
Damn it, even if you teach me to do this kind of thing, I have dismantled dozens of them and several CEOs are complaining in their hearts.
The president of Rheinmetall carefully explained: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, although we can analyze the composition of China's high-temperature resistant alloys, we do not know their processes.
You know, even if the composition of materials is exactly the same, once the production process is Different, the things produced are completely different.
Moreover, the methods in the laboratory and the factory are also different."
This man was also called by Mustache.
"Then there's nothing you can do."
Mustache was so angry that he was numb.
"We are working hard to experiment, and if we have more time, we can replicate it."
"How long will this take?"
"It will take about two and a half years."
Mustache looked at them and finally said: "The imperial army cannot live without advanced engines, so I only give you one year.
I don't care what method you use.
After one year, I must see the advanced engines made by the empire.
Okay, you guys Go back first."
Prenyakov did not have time to watch all the aircraft tests.
As soon as Yak 1 took to the sky, he was called by Stalin.
He hurried to Stalin's office and found Stalin's guard captain Paulker personally guarding the door.
When Pauker saw him, he said: "Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, Comrade Stalin is talking to Comrade Molotov.
Please wait a moment."
Pauker immediately informed the inside of Plenyakov's arrival.
Today, Paulker was actually in charge of guarding the door.
It could be seen that the matters discussed in the office must be extremely confidential, but Prenyakov really couldn't think of anything in diplomacy that would require such strict security measures at this time.
After only ten seconds, Pauker walked out of the office and told Plenyakov that Stalin would ask him to come in now.
This was his attitude toward his cronies.
Prenyakov straightened his clothes and walked in.
After saluting Stalin and greeting Molotov, before he could speak, Stalin said: "Little Andre, you came just in time.
There is something I want to hear your opinion on.
Mo."
Comrade Lotov, please make the introduction."
"Okay, Comrade Deputy Chief of General Staff, this is what happened," Molotov began to tell.
The thing is related to Finland.
As we all know, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Finland is quite bad.

This is mainly due to historical grudges.
Finland was conquered by Tsarist Russia in 1808 and became a vassal state of Russia.
However, Finland's independence movement has never been interrupted.
During World War I, Germany, as the opponent of Russia, had always encouraged Finland's struggle for independence.
Immediately after the Russian Revolution in 1917, the Finnish government declared independence on October 22, 1917.
However, Germany was also busy in vain.
Friedrich Karl, the Prince of Hesse whom they supported, failed to become the King of Finland as he wished.
In the end, it was Marshal Mannerheim who became the regent of Finland and took control of Finland.
However, due to Germany's strategy of containing Russia, We have also maintained a good relationship with Finland.
The most important thing is that not only does Germany support Finland, but countries such as Britain and France, which are not at odds with Germany, also support Finland out of resentment and ideological issues about being defaulted.
After independence, Finland maintained good relations with Western countries and received military assistance from them.
Starting in 1935, Britain and France, which had just recovered from the economic crisis, provided Finland with weapons and equipment worth 300 million Finnish marks and about 11.7 million Chinese dollars, while Germany assisted the Finnish Air Force in building an extensive airport network.
Military instructors from Britain, Germany, France and other countries have been helping Finland train officers.
At the same time, with the support of Western experts, Finland built a strong defense line named after Mannerheim on the Karelian Isthmus.
However, although Germany supported Finland, that was what happened before.
At that time, in order to smoothly annex Austria, Germany signed a Soviet-German non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union.
The treaty included a secret clause to divide the spheres of influence among the Eastern European countries between the two countries, which included Finland within the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. .
Yes, Germany unceremoniously sold Finland for its own interests.
But Stalin was not reassured.
He knew very well that in the face of national interests, no agreement would be more effective than a piece of paper to wipe the butt.
Treaties are meant to be broken, because that's the kind of person he is.
Mustache's integrity is not much better than his.
If you say that because of this treaty, Mustache really doesn't care about Finland at all, even Mustache himself doesn't believe this, and of course Big Beard doesn't believe it.
And Mannerheim was a die-hard anti-communist.
Having a country that had good relations with the West and was strongly anti-Soviet at home made Stalin very uneasy.
So Stalin sent Molotov to negotiate with Finland.
In addition to suggesting that the Soviet Union and Finland sign a mutual assistance treaty to jointly defend the Gulf of Finland, he further proposed the cession and adjustment of part of Finland's territory.
That is to ask Finland to move the Soviet-Finnish border on the Karelian Isthmus 40 kilometers north, cede several islands in the Gulf of Finland and the Finnish territory on the Rybachi Peninsula to the former Soviet Union; The mark was leased to the former Soviet Union for a period of 30 years.
In order to compensate for Finland's territorial losses, the former Soviet Union expressed its willingness to hand over to Finland twice the land northwest of Lake Onega that was ceded by Finland.
To say that the bearded man would be so generous would be damning.
Moreover, the Hanko Peninsula and the Karelian Isthmus are Finland's natural barriers to defend against the Soviet Union.
The motives of the Soviet Union cannot but make Finland feel suspicious and alarmed.
So Molotov's external attempt naturally failed.
The Finns simply don’t believe that the Soviet Union will bring so many benefits.
As the saying goes, “Maozi is reliable, sows can climb trees.”
Even though they have been neighbors with Maozi so many times, they still don’t know who this family is.
Finns are not fools either. .
"Little Andre, what do you think?"
After introducing the situation, Stalin obviously wanted to hear the opinions of his most trusted cronies first.
"Comrade Stalin, from my point of view, diplomatic negotiations are a stage that must be passed through.
It would be best if they could succeed, but in my personal opinion, there is little hope.
But Comrade Molotov, with all due respect, your talks have collapsed.
We need to keep talking."
"What time?"
Stalin asked.

"The right time to start a war, the use of force is the only final solution to this problem, but you have to wait for a suitable time to appear."
Plenyakov thought for a while and said: "The world is not chaotic enough now, but soon, In one to two years, the world will be in chaos.
If we go to war with Finland this summer, the Western countries will point their fingers at us, which will not be worth the loss until the Germans in the west can cause more chaos in Europe.
Take action, that’s the right time.”
Now Mustache is already threatening Bohemia.
For this country separated from Austria-Hungary, Mustache has always been obsessed with it.
One is the issue of the Germans in the Sudetenland, and the other is the issue of the ownership of Skoda.
Germany's attempt to annex Bohemia was almost obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
"So, Comrade Stalin, now is not the ideal time, even when Germany annexes Bohemia.
The Allies and the Entente must fight again."
Stalin was obviously very satisfied with the analysis of his close associates.
"Comrade Stalin, let me make some further analysis from the military perspective.
If military action is to be taken, it would be best to start the war in the summer, but if the timing forces us to start the war in the winter.
It must be dispatched to adapt to the cold climate and complex terrain.
The troops participated in the war, and the troops of the Leningrad Military District were suitable It should be cold, but there is insufficient training and experience in field combat under complex conditions, so it is best for us to arrange some troops to train in alpine areas such as the Kola Peninsula so that our soldiers can adapt to fighting in cold conditions and complex environments like the Nordics. ."
Plenyakov said.
However, this time Stalin did not agree with his opinion.
Stalin laughed and said: "Little Andre, you think too highly of the Finns.
They are not Germany, Britain, China, and the United States.
In addition, now there is a good opportunity."
Hanking, Presidential Palace.
On this day, China's top central officials once again held a meeting at the Presidential Palace.
"According to our latest intelligence, Finland once again rejected the Soviet Union's territorial replacement request today, and the Soviet Union is likely to take action."
Vice Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang said.
Xu Xilin said with some surprise: "Actually, it would be good if the Soviets offered twice the land in exchange.
The land proposed by the Soviet Union was obviously much better than what they wanted.
Why didn't they agree?"
Lu Zhengxiang smiled and said: "Haha, how easy is it to take advantage of Stalin?
If the Finns really agree, I think the biggest possibility is that they will not get any of that land."
Xu Xilin was not very familiar with Mao Zi’s character.
He didn’t know how Mao Xiong’s usual integrity could allow Finland to take advantage.
Wen Desi also smiled.
He remembered that in the original time and space, there were still people who believed that "if Ulyanov did not die, he would really return the land occupied by Tsarist Russia to China."
In his opinion, this This idea is so naive.
"According to reliable intelligence, Stalin may not be able to bear it anymore and will take action this year.
Because Germany will also take action against Bohemia, there is obviously a tacit understanding between Soviet Union and Germany," Lu Zhengxiang continued.
Xinjie said: "Then, we must also be prepared.
Finland will definitely not be able to defeat the Soviet Union, and we cannot let the Soviet Union take too much advantage.
But Bohemia is more troublesome.
They are completely defeated by Germany and its The allies are surrounding us, and we can’t help even if we want to.”
"Why, Germany will also take action against Bohemia?"
Xu Xilin was a little surprised.
He said: "It's easy to understand that the Soviet Union would have designs on Finland, because they are too close to the core of the Soviet Union.
The Mannerheim line of defense they built is only 30 kilometers away from Leningrad.
If they launch a surprise attack, Leningrad will It is impossible to hold on to the second largest city.

The second largest industrial manufacturing base is always under such a watchful eye.
Anyone would have to find a way to keep a sufficient safe distance.
Besides, Finland is not a friendly country to the Soviet Union, but Bohemia has not threatened Germany.
Ah, they have declared neutrality."
Lu Zhengxiang explained: "It's like this.
William III and Hitler are planning to establish very large state-owned enterprises, but now the large enterprises in Germany are in the private hands of the Junker aristocrats, and it is difficult for Hitler to attack those Junker aristocrats, so We have no choice but to take action against Austrian companies, but the industry in Austria itself is not strong and cannot satisfy Hitler's request.
So Bohemia's Skoda Company, the seventh largest arms group in Europe, became Hitler's target.
Bohemia was also guilty of this, because the country's wealth and strength were not matched, so it was particularly easy.
Coveted by its powerful neighbors, Hitler used the issue of the Germans in the Sudetenland to cause trouble for Bohemia."
"Haha, besides, even if Bohemia declared neutrality, Hitler wouldn't believe it.
Their position is too good."
Wen Desi smiled
