"In addition to these troops, the Soviet Union has 21 collective farms under the jurisdiction of the Far East Military Region, which are the troops of the Soviet Land Reclamation Army. This force currently has seven divisions and 10 troops. In terms of establishment, it is also affiliated to the Far East Military Region .”

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

China guarded against the Soviet Union, how could the Soviet Union not guard against China.Especially at present, China is vigorously developing border transportation, which has the greatest impact on the Soviet Union.Outer Mongolia and Tannu Ulianghai are the Trans-Siberian Railway directly facing the Soviet Union, directly threatening Irkutsk, an important Soviet city in the Lake Baikal region.If China takes action from Outer Mongolia and Tannu Wulianghai, it can directly cut off the Far East of the Soviet Union.

How could the Soviet Union not respond.

This time the Soviet Union reorganized the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far East Military Region in order to strengthen the military strength here and guard against China.

"What about Kazakhstan and the Novosibirsk region?"

"There is no news yet. But judging from the establishment of the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far East Military Region by the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union should also take action here soon."

"kindness."

Duan Xun looked at the map again, thought for a while, and said, "What do you think?"

"Prime Minister, the Soviet Union is just preparing. With the current strength of the Soviet Union, unless troops are directly transferred from Europe, otherwise it will be difficult to fill up these troops in a short period of time. In addition, the Soviet Union will also establish tank divisions and aviation divisions. , motorized divisions, and airborne troops cannot be completed in a short period of time. According to the establishment of the Soviet Union in the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far East Military Region, it is difficult to complete it in less than two years. If you want to have combat effectiveness, you must It will take more than three years."

Liu Fei answered in the affirmative.

Duan Xun frowned.Said: "More than two years? For Zhang (Liu Fei), this judgment cannot be made casually. Your judgment will directly affect our next military deployment."

"Prime Minister, I believe my judgment. According to the situation of the reorganization of the Soviet Union this time, the Soviet Union must deploy at least seven tank divisions and more than 2000 tanks in the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far East Military Region. With the current Soviet tank production, the tanks produced must be the first It must be equipped with European troops. The Transbaikal Military Region and the Far Eastern Military Region want to equip tanks. It is absolutely impossible within two years, unless the Soviet Union handed over all the old tanks produced before to the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far Eastern Military Region. But those old tanks, The protection capability is very poor. The Soviet Union has already begun to eliminate these tanks, so the Soviet Union should not equip them. If it equips new tanks, I have already overestimated the determination and production of the Soviet Union in two years. There are not enough tanks, the Soviet Union It is impossible to build tank divisions in the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far East Military Region. Even with these tanks, it is impossible to train qualified tank troops so quickly. Including the aviation divisions they want to build, they must Fulfilling their requirements requires more than a thousand aircraft, which is still very difficult for the current Soviet Union. Therefore, it is difficult to form this force within three years."

Duan Xun didn't speak, and thought carefully about what Liu Fei said.

苏联刚刚成立之后，就已经开始在部队装备坦克。如早期仿制的KS坦克、GUVP坦克，以及1928年就开始进入批量生产的T18坦克。还有在T18基础上发展的T17、T19、T23等等型号的坦克，还有目前苏联主要作战坦克T26等。

In terms of tank development and production, the Soviet Union has accumulated rich experience.

Including airplanes too.

The Soviet Union still produced a lot of aircraft and tanks, which is quite enough in terms of experience.But it is much worse than in history.There are two main reasons.

One is that the completion of the first five-year plan of the Soviet Union was far less excellent than in history, and only about 60% of history was completed.The situation of the second five-year plan, which is starting now, is far less smooth than in history.

Industry is the foundation.

The industrial strength of the Soviet Union is much worse than in history, and it will naturally be a lot worse in the aircraft manufacturing and tank manufacturing industries.Moreover, it is not a time of war, and it is impossible for the Soviet Union to devote all its energy to the military industry.It is not so easy to provide more than 1500 tanks and 1000 aircraft to the Far East in a short period of time.Now the Soviet Union produces less than 1000 tanks a year, and so does the production of aircraft.

In addition to this reason, another reason is the cooperation with Germany.

Originally, in history, the rapid development of the Soviet Union's military industry was inseparable from the cooperation with Germany after the end of World War I.It is precisely because of the military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany that a large number of German military factories were established in the Soviet Union, which enabled the rapid rise of the Soviet military industry.In this respect, Germany plays a very important role.

But in this time and space, Germany felt that the Soviet Union was still not safe.Therefore, a large number of military experiments were placed in China, which seriously affected the development of the Soviet Union's military industry.

So after listening to Liu Fei's analysis, Duan Xun nodded slowly.

To Xu Yongchang and Huang Musong next to him, he said, "What do you think?"

"We also think so. Unless the Soviet Union wants to mobilize military forces, it is impossible for the Transbaikal Military Region and the Far East Military Region to be fully staffed in a short period of time."

"kindness."

Although Stalin is an unpredictable person, the Soviet Union is not understandable by common sense.But Duan Xun still decided to trust the judgment of the General Staff.But still said: "Cichen (Xu Yongchang), no matter what, our deployment has to be stepped up. Regardless of what the Soviet Union does, only when we have enough troops can we be confident."

"Yes."

"and also……"

"Report."

"Come in."

When Duan Xun heard the voice, he knew that the person who came was Shen Honglie, the current deputy commander of the navy.Shen Honglie opened the door and came in, with a look of joy on his face, he said, "Prime Minister, great victory, great victory for the United Fleet."

"how is it now?"

On May 1935, 5, the Jakarta naval battle that broke out at around 10:11, only lasted for an hour and a half, and the Chinese and Japanese combined fleet completely wiped out the Dutch Far East Fleet.In terms of naval warfare, the time is really short.Some naval battles are fought for not to mention hours, or even days.But this time the naval battle was completely different. In less than two hours, the war was over.

The Dutch Far East Fleet didn't even have a chance to struggle, and was wiped out cleanly by the Sino-Japanese combined fleet.

It was unexpected by a bunch of people.

Although everyone has thought about it, the strength of the Sino-Japanese joint fleet far exceeds that of the Dutch Far East Fleet.But no one thought that the Netherlands would lose so easily.This naval battle was a bit inexplicable, and the Sino-Japanese joint fleet won the victory easily.

"The United Fleet has continued to go south, heading straight for Batavia (Jakarta). It is ready to take Batavia before the Dutch army reacts. Only when Batavia is taken, the Japanese army can pour into Java Island , to control Java Island."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded, feeling very good.

Duan Xun was also very surprised.Because although Duan Xun thought that he could defeat the Dutch Far East Fleet, he just didn't expect to wipe out the Dutch Far East Fleet so simply and neatly.Everything is easy to handle now.Because in Indonesia, the Netherlands itself does not have much strength, and the only thing that can be praised is their Far East Fleet and their naval forces.Now that the Dutch Far East Fleet has been wiped out, the remaining Dutch army units are not in the eyes of Duan Xun at all.The Dutch army is not bad at dealing with the natives of Indonesia. Compared with the elite armies of China and Japan, it is nothing.As for the Dutch air force in Indonesia, it is nothing.

Now that the Dutch Far East Fleet has been wiped out, the affairs of Indonesia are no longer within the grasp of the Dutch.As long as China and Japan are willing, the whole of Indonesia is in the hands of China and Japan.

"What does Japan mean?"

"Java Island. I have been in contact with Japan. Japan only wants Java Island at present, and plans to send another brigade to station in Java Island. And Japan requires us to find Sukarno as soon as possible. , and hand over Sukarno to them."

This is the first time that China and Japan have cooperated in military operations, so there is close contact between the two governments.As the deputy prime minister in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yan Huiqing has been in contact with Japan.

"Japan wants Sukarno?"

"Yes. The Japanese side means that they are ready to support Sukarno's establishment of an independent Indonesian government on Java Island."

Sukarno is the leader of the Indonesian resistance forces and has a strong appeal among young Indonesians.Sukarno rebelled against the Dutch colonists several times. After being captured by the Dutch, he was exiled to Sumatra and was not allowed to return to Java Island.Sukarno is now in Sumatra.

Now Japan wants Sukarno because it wants to use Sukarno's influence in Indonesia to form a new government.Just like the puppet Manchuria, puppet North China government, and puppet Nanjing government established by Japan in China in history.

Using someone as influential as Sukarno as the head of the new government will greatly reduce resistance.And with a new government in Indonesia, Japan can justifiably sign the contract he wants with the new government of Indonesia.

It is not that Japan does not want to directly colonize Java Island.

But this time China and Japan sent troops on the grounds that the Netherlands oppressed the East Indies. If they directly turned Java Island into their own colony, it would be difficult to explain.That's why Japan needs Sukarno.

"No other requests from Japan?"

"Not yet. The only condition Japan made with us was that we hand over Sukarno to them."

"Tanaka Yoshiichi is much calmer than those fanatical soldiers in Japan."

Duan Xun's mentality admires Tanaka Yoshiichi.

Those fanatical soldiers in Japan are more ambitious and ambitious than the other, and they can't see the reality.They can't wait to punch the United Kingdom and kick the United States, so that Japan can become the world's hegemon.

Especially after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the whole of Japan was in a frenzy.Many Japanese soldiers are very worried about Japan, worried that another catastrophe such as the Great Kanto Earthquake will happen again in Japan.So they are fanatical and ambitious one by one.
