After 40 years of winter, more and more documents are piled up on the desks of leaders, Jiang Li and others, showing that the world structure is undergoing drastic changes this year.
In June, Germany raided the Soviet Union.
Although it had invaded Finland and the war in Poland, it did not have much actual combat experience in Poland.
In Finland, the Soviet Red Army was bruised and bruised, and not many Soviet troops were truly trained.
Although in terms of weapons comparison, the Soviet Union has a huge advantage.
However, due to Stalin's miscalculation, and because Stalin's influence on the army has reached a level that outsiders cannot imagine.
It has more than 23,000 tanks, of which more than 13,000 are distributed in 5 military districts in Western Russia, 3 of which are directly connected to the German army.
At this time, the total number of German tanks was only more than 5,000, and only about 3,400 were used to fight Germany.
This brought the number of tanks between the Soviet Red Army and the German Army to 4:1.
The only thing worth mentioning is that due to the purge within the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union originally obtained a prototype of the Tomahawk tank and threw it in a warehouse to collect dust.
After the German army obtained the parameters of the Tomahawk, they quickly built it on the basis of the No. 4 tank.
Lots of improvements. 34, this epoch-making tank, the German army has also equipped a certain number of No. 5 tanks that are enough to compete with the T34. 34 still has a certain advantage.
Germany's armored forces were stronger than ever before, but during the Great Purge, three of the five Soviet marshals were executed, and two-thirds of the regiments and division commanders suffered the same fate.
More than 30,000 senior Red Army leaders were executed.
This directly led to the purging of a large number of officers with actual combat experience who had grown up during the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Although the army was absolutely loyal to Stalin, the degree of internal quality decline could only be described as unimaginable.
Relying on its excellent military qualities, the German army used blitzkrieg to its fullest extent.
After a successful surprise attack, it quickly entered the Soviet Union.
A series of fast punches made the Soviet defense system, under the bloated bureaucracy, unable to adapt to the speed of the German assault. .
Often, the Soviet Union made military arrangements and sent troops to make up for the leaks before they arrived at the combat site.
The huge chaos on the front line and the speed of the German advance had caused greater changes in the battlefield situation.
The unprecedented success of Germany's Blitzkrieg also greatly inspired the Japanese military's top brass to fight against the United States.
Soon, the secret imperial war meeting against the United States was successfully passed.
Japan believes that after seizing air supremacy in the Pacific, it means that the road to the south is clear.
Therefore, it must destroy some of the U.S. military facilities at Pearl Harbor, as well as a large number of warships, so that the United States cannot use Pearl Harbor for transit at will.
In fact, in an exercise at the beginning of the year, after two battleships and an aircraft carrier on the Combined Fleet side were killed by the opponent's intensive aviation force, Yamamoto Isoroku came up with the idea of an air attack on Pearl Harbor.
On September 7, 1941, the sky was high and the clouds were clear.
At this time, a large number of white people in Hawaii are enjoying a leisurely vacation, blowing the moist sea breeze, lying on the white sand beach and basking in the warm sunshine.
Even though Europe was already in flames of war at this time, even though East Asia had been suffering from war for several years, under the rule of the United States, there was still peace and harmony.
No matter how chaotic it is outside, it seems that there is no place where the Stars and Stripes are flying.
However, the sudden appearance of the black aircraft fleet brought huge panic to these white people with a sense of superiority.
Yes, it was panic.
The American nation, which had enjoyed peace for too long, was far less calm than the civilians of other warring countries when war came. .
Although various intelligence showed that Japan leaked the news before the sneak attack, due to various reasons, the US military at Pearl Harbor failed to defend itself.
Then a disaster befell these people.
The two waves before and after, a total of 356 aircraft were like locusts passing through the border.
Hundreds of aircraft at the US military airport were directly destroyed on the ground.
US warships and several battleships in the military port were also sunk on the spot.
Due to the long-term pressure of war with the northwest, Japan's zero war was born.
At this time, the number of zero wars equipped by the Japanese army was larger, and the US military also suffered greater losses, with nearly 300 aircraft destroyed.
Dozens more were also damaged to varying degrees.
In short, the U.S.
Air Force in Hawaii suffered an almost devastating blow.
"We deeply regret Japan's despicable behavior and the losses your country has suffered.
However, I am sorry that the northwest is currently trying its best to protect itself under the attack of the Japanese North China Front.

The previous independent operations have consumed too many of our troops.
The strength is that I don’t have the ability to take the initiative for the time being.”
Faced with the obviously angry tone of the American consul, Mr.
Zhou shrugged and said he was helpless.
"Our country has prepared a large amount of aid materials.
Since your army does not have the strength now, our country can only choose the side that is more willing to cooperate."
Stilwell, who rushed over from the United States urgently, said displeased.
"Are you referring to the Chiang Kai-shek Central Army of our country?
This is naturally your country's wish.
However, during the war, your country can act according to its own interests.
However, after the war with the Japanese army is over, you hope not to interfere in our country's internal affairs.
Your country.
The country should also know that it was expensive before The country is worried about offending Japan and has not interrupted its oil imports to Japan.
Now that your country is at war with Japan, you want our country to send troops to divert the attention of the Japanese army south.
"Mr.
Zhou said coldly.
Arrogant at the front and bowing at the back, that's all.
"Working with you, I always feel like I'm dancing on the edge of a knife.
There's never a moment when I don't feel scared.
Although U.S. imperialism is not kind, the other party has the qualifications to show off.
Although we now have some strength, in front of the United States, I'm afraid It's not enough.
Now it's painful to treat others in their own way, but if the United States really turns to Chairman Chiang, our lives may not be easy in the future," the leader said in confusion. .
"Yes, if you hadn't had the foresight to predict that Japan would take action against the United States, I wouldn't have sent the American envoy according to your ideas this time."
After sending away the angry Stilwell, Zhou He always made no secret of his worries.
"We are not shutting out Americans, but raising prices on the ground.
The United States is strong, but it is not invincible.
In Southeast Asia, there are still places beyond their reach.
Britain, Vichy France, the United States The forces in Southeast Asia are very weak.
In the Pearl Harbor incident, although the Japanese army was a sneak attack, However, with such low losses, it can be seen that the current strength of the US aviation force is still far behind the elite Japanese naval aviation.
Therefore, in the next few months, the Japanese army will surely sweep across Southeast Asia.
If you don't show off your posture and take the initiative to join in, wouldn't you be devaluing yourself?"
Jiang Li smiled calmly and said, "Not only can we not strengthen the counterattack at this time, but we must also reduce the pressure on the Japanese army so that they can allocate more energy to the south, and then they can counterattack in the northwest.
Only by sharpening the sword can you chop wood without missing a beat.
Take advantage of this year There are still a few months left, so hurry up and prepare.
In the winter, harass the Japanese army's logistics.
Next spring will be the real appetizer and the time for the Northwest Army to counterattack. " "But if the Americans really want to support the Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, what should they do?
After all, the Central Army has millions of troops.
If they are really armed, big trouble will inevitably happen in the future."
Mr.
Zhou said still a little worried. .
"The United States does not have millions of troops now.
Now they are busy expanding their own troops.
How can they have so much energy to arm a large number of national troops?
Besides, Americans' equipment is not that easy to get.
They are short-handed and cannibalize people.

You are soft-spoken.
If you take advantage of the Americans, you have to be restrained by the Americans.
Foreigners are very realistic and do not have enough strength.
The other side will only boss you around.
When they are beaten to death in the hands of Japan, , only after realizing the Northwest Army’s intelligence will they give the Northwest Army The forces in Southeast Asia are now complicated.
The British have been entrenched in Burma for so long, and Americans have come in to get involved.
Even Chairman Chiang wants to gain some sympathy in front of the great powers.
When the time comes, work in Southeast Asia During the war, Chairman Chiang wanted to protect his own troops.
Britain and the United States probably also had a fight over who would have the command.
They couldn’t even determine the command.
It was a confusing account.
Neither Britain nor the United States had seen how powerful the Japanese army was.
I think the first stage was Britain and the United States are also terrible."
"Director Jiang is right.
A snake cannot survive without a head.
Those foreigners have not yet understood how powerful the Japanese army is.
Even though Britain and the United States are powerful, it is difficult for them to defeat local snakes.
In the first stage, it will not be easy for Britain and the United States to withstand the Japanese attack.
"The leader's military attainments are higher than those of Mr.
Zhou, and he quickly understood the meaning, "In other words, according to your wishes, Thinking about it, we went north first and then south.
According to my point of view, this is also the case.
Our party cannot always follow Chairman Chiang’s butt.
Although Lanzhou is a good place and its industry has a certain scale, its influence is innate.
If you want to get ahead of Chairman Chiang, you have to occupy an important city, and in my opinion, it has to be Peking."
"I support the leader's views."
Jiang Li smiled.
In fact, Jiang Li didn't have many views on the future capital of the Republic of China.
Everything should be based on the current situation.
The reason why Jiang Li went north and then south was that he wanted Japan and Dogs bite dogs in Britain and America for a while.
In addition, they also wanted to free up their hands to deal with the Kwantung Army, as well as the Japanese troops in North Korea and South Korea.
Let the vassal states of the former Qing government return under the wings of China.
"From a military point of view, transportation in the north is relatively convenient, while the water towns in the south have many disadvantages in combat, which is not suitable for the rapid action of the northwest army's large corps.
It is also difficult to launch the mechanization department in the northwest for a while.
As for the south, although there is no direct use of troops for the time being, , but in the early years, I also deployed a lot of chess pieces in Nanyang, and I did not make any military requirements for the time being.
Once they go south, it will also be a disaster for the overseas Chinese in Nanyang.
In recent years, the overseas Chinese have made a lot of sacrifices for the construction of the northwest and the national war of resistance.
We cannot let their blood flow in vain.
The northwest must tighten ties with them. , try to arrange the evacuation of their materials and personnel.
Chairman Chiang has no energy to do this now, and we must do a good job."
"Well, the party will not treat those who have meritorious service badly."
Mr.
Zhou nodded.
The contribution of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang is obvious to all, especially the industries in the northwest.
These people who are far away from overseas have contributed a lot.
With the push from the northwest, the Japanese army launched a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor several months earlier than in history.

In order to let the Japanese army go south, Jiang Li temporarily left the Central Plains war zone and inspected the military and oil and steel mining areas in northern Sichuan, Suiyuan, Xinjiang and other places with the leaders and others.
With the rapid increase in steel supply, the engine industry has also begun to gain considerable momentum under the automobile industry chain that the Northwest has cultivated for many years.
The total output of Northwest Tomahawks and assault guns exceeded the 1,000 mark in 1941.
Of course, the main ones are sword-type assault guns that are easier to produce and lower cost.
The production capacity cannot be compared with that of the great powers.
If Northwest had not made a breakthrough in the technology and manufacturing process of assault guns, it is estimated that the output would still be limited to six to seven hundred vehicles a year at this time.
Don't underestimate this small gap of three hundred vehicles.
Three hundred vehicles, some kind of The extent can already determine the success or failure of a medium- to large-scale battle in the north.
Northwest's military industry was basically released on the Army and Air Force.
Relatively speaking, the manpower and material resources Northwest poured into the Army and Air Force at this time had exceeded the Japanese Army and Air Force.
With sufficient resource supply, the production of northwest tanks and assault guns will maintain an increase rate of no less than 30%.
"Whoosh!"
From the launcher behind a tractor-trailer truck, a large number of rockets were ejected at a low angle.
The rockets trailing long tails screamed in the air towards the target area.
Although there are ten towed multiple rocket launchers in the parked trucks, the arsenal does not have the luxury to launch a one-time salvo.
After all, ammunition is not cheap for the northwest at this time.
"This is a newly trial-produced multiple rocket launcher from the arsenal.
It uses two rows of 18 launch tubes in total, and the ammunition caliber is 120.
However, this kind of launch is too wasteful of ammunition, and the accuracy is not high.
It can only be targeted with dense firepower distribution.
Coverage shooting at enemy positions consumes too much ammunition, so it is not recommended to equip the troops in large quantities for the time being, so as not to put greater pressure on logistics," said Chen Jingguo, who has been leading the northwest military industry in recent years, to Jiang Li.
Others suggested.
"Let's take a look and see if we can improve it.
In fact, Germany has also produced related weapons, and so has the Soviet Union.
The intelligence force has heard that the caliber of the rockets can be slightly smaller to increase its firepower density.
You can try it out."
Jiang Li nodded, patted the thick truck and said.
Although he made many arrangements, in a relatively backward place like the northwest, excellent fighters like Feilong and Tenglong were born, as well as epoch-making products like Qianlong that are being perfected.
But the energy of the Northwest is limited after all.
At least when it comes to multiple rocket launchers, although it is already at the forefront of the warring countries at this time, it is still inferior to the Soviet Union's 24-barreled Katyu Donghai rocket launcher in terms of caliber and quantity.
A little inferior.
"How is the solidification development going?"
"The research laboratory has been developing it in the past few years, but the explosive power has always been unsatisfactory, and it is still being further improved."
Chen Jingguo said.
"Well, time waits for no one.
I'm afraid we won't be able to use them in this operation.
It's not good to use these guys in the mainland.
There is still some time, so we must seize it."
Before planning a major counterattack, Jiang Li first inspected all military industries in the northwest
