Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"It has been more than a year since Ridgway succeeded MacArthur as the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army. Although the record is mediocre, the fourth battle was successful and the fifth battle was a miserable loss, but now the US military and political circles have given him a lot of blame. Part of it was given to the U.S. Air Force. So from a long-term evaluation, Li Qiwei still stopped the defeat of the United Nations Army from the Qingchuan River and stabilized the front line. He made some contributions. Li Qiwei was promoted to general last year. From the commander-in-chief of the army to the commander-in-chief of NATO, this step is relatively logical."

"At the beginning of this year, Lodge put him on the list of the New Hampshire primary election without Eisenhower's permission. As a result, without Eisenhower's presence or even his knowledge, the result of the primary election was that Eisenhower led by a large margin. If Eisenhower himself hesitated for fear of losing face in the election, this election in New Hampshire will prompt Eisenhower to resign and run for the election. It can be considered that Eisenhower's participation in the presidential election is basically a certainty..."

……

The U.S. presidential election has just begun, and the results will be decided in November. The new president will not take office until January next year. However, in May 11, the impact of the U.S. election will be reflected in North Korea.

Since Eisenhower resigned to run for president, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army will be replaced.

Li Qiwei hated the Soviet Union and China extremely, and also hated the Volunteer Army, but objectively speaking, this person has a relatively high IQ.In Tang Hua's view, Li Qiwei is better than his successor Mark Clark.Similarly, Taylor, who succeeded Van Fleet as the commander of the Eighth Army, was not as good as Van Fleet.

Clark is neither cunning nor brave enough. In fact, most of his achievements in World War II came from the Italian army.After the end of World War II, the four-star general went to Austria first, where the result was legislation that "as long as the United Nations still exists, the merger of Germany and Austria will be permanently prohibited."Then he returned to the United States. He first served as the commander of the Sixth Army with its headquarters in San Francisco. Two years later, he became the commander of the U.S. ground forces. , the second summer counterattack, the Battle of Jincheng, and finally won the achievement of "the first general in the history of the United States to sign an armistice agreement that did not win".

Reminiscent of the actions planned by Mr. Zhisi Peng and Ye Ting, Tang Hua estimated that if Li Qiwei became the commander-in-chief of NATO as in history, then the Korean battlefield/Korean armistice negotiations will really usher in a turning point.

Chapter 211, people in Red Square, just got off the train

When the negotiating delegation of the Navy and the Ministry of Heavy Industry set off by train, they saw several trains carrying brand new cannons at the freight station waiting to be unloaded.

"I have never seen such a gun."

As the "Second Xiao" of the four fields, Commander Xiao started in the army, the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and he was the one who led the First Army of the East Field to besiege Changchun.The artillery that Commander Xiao has never seen before seems to be a novelty.

Tang Hua: "This is a cannon that the Soviet Union has just put into production. Last time Chief of Staff Xu went to the Soviet Union to import equipment from 60 divisions. Finally, the negotiation was concluded. We introduced one or two artillery regiments."

"The barrel of this gun is really long, much longer than Higashino's Japanese-style ten-plus gun. I don't know how far it can hit."

"The Japanese-style ten-cannon has a caliber of 100mm, and this M-46 cannon has a caliber of 130mm, and the barrel diameter is also larger. Of course, the barrel is longer. The range should be close to 27 kilometers." The Soviet Army has just been equipped with some experimentally, and the Volunteer Army now urgently needs long-range artillery for anti-artillery operations in positional warfare, so after talking about this project for a long time, it is finally possible to buy some in small quantities.”

Commander Xiao: "I heard that the artillery unit of the army is equipped with a field artillery computer developed by you. The combat capability of the artillery has been significantly improved?"

Tang Hua: "The calculation of artillery parameters is faster, and the average accuracy is better than before. Coupled with the advancement of communication equipment, the artillery unit has now undergone several training sessions, and is taught by Soviet expert consultants. The tactical quality has improved significantly compared to before. It is also because of the advancement of the artillery unit and the construction of large tunnels that it is now possible for the Volunteer Army to conduct anti-artillery operations and artillery raids with the U.S. military."

……

The special train of the negotiating delegation entered the Soviet Union. The small batch of M-46 cannon purchased by the Volunteer Army was also taken by a trailer to the barracks after being unloaded. This new type of artillery is different from the original howitzer and cannon from use to maintenance. It cannot be grasped for a few months.

At Jianxin Company in Dalian, workers loaded neatly packed rockets onto the train box by box, ready to be transported to Andong and then to the North Korean front.

"A total of 4800 boxes, all ready. Today's action is very fast, thank you, Lao Wu."

The cadres of the logistics department of the Volunteer Army counted the number, completed the handover with Dalian Jianxin, and waited for the train dispatch to depart.

"This is what we should do." Lao Wu said, "Make every effort to meet the needs of the Korean battlefield with quality and quantity."

Hearing the whistle in the distance, the logistics officer said: "It seems that our train is about to leave, and I have to get on the train at the front. Goodbye!"

Old Wu nodded, then turned around a little bit, facing the wagon full of rockets, stood with his palms together for a while.

"Hey, Old Wu... I know you're not a party member, but you don't have to believe in Buddhism, right?"

Old Wu: "You won't understand now. You will understand in a month or two."

……

Moscow, May 5.

This is Tang Hua's first time watching the Red Square military parade live.I stayed in the Soviet Union several times before, and the time was not short, but I just missed it on May 5st or November 1th.Thanks to the speed-up of the Siberian Railway this time, the delegation arrived in Moscow on April 11, just in time for the military parade on Red Square the next day.

这个时代苏联一年阅兵两次，11月7日的十月革命纪念日和5月1日。到后来60年代才把5月1日的劳动节阅兵改在5月9日。

"Look, Chairman Stalin is already on the parade!"

Luo Shunchu had sharp eyes and was the first to spot Stalin appearing.

Tang Hua turned around and looked behind the right side.The Chinese delegation was a little far away from the parade platform, and could see a few big caps walking around on it, and vaguely saw the shiny chests of these big caps, presumably covered with medals.But one of them had a non-shining chest and a different walking demeanor from the others. Stalin was undoubtedly there.

"Minister Tang, have you met Stalin before?"

"I've seen it once..." Tang Hua said, "in 1949. I walked over with a smile, pinned a medal to my chest, and left, don't go to the next person."

"Chief of Staff Xu came to the Soviet Union for negotiations last year, and on the last day he was received by Comrade Stalin..." Commander Xiao said, "It is very likely that we will meet Stalin when we come to the Soviet Union for negotiations this time."

Tang Hua didn't answer immediately, but took out his small binoculars and looked back at the parade.

Stalin, who was dressed in a Lenin costume, had no physical problems at all. He walked steadily, chatting and laughing happily with unknown generals nearby.After walking to the middle of the parade platform, he noticed the cheers of the crowd below, and smiled and waved to the bottom.

Hey, on May [-]st next year, Old Sike will see Max...

As far as Stalin's current physical condition is concerned, there is absolutely no long-term serious illness. It should be an accidental stroke in March next year.

Speaking of "accidents", Tang Hua is seeing more and more unexpected (beyond history) events now, and the direction of the grand strategy can still be opened, but he dare not use prophecy in small details, unless he uses the information of the changed world now The data were confirmed once again.Therefore, what I just said should be revised to read: Stalin may have gone to see Marx on May [-]st next year, but there is also a certain probability that he will not see him.

Like Commander Xiao, Luo Shunchu, and Lin Taizhen, Tang Hua, as a Chinese—that is, an outsider, had a purely rational impression of Stalin.This impression is not bad. For example, Commander Xiao and Luo Shunchu are looking forward to seeing Stalin now, and it is written on their faces.

As the boss of the big socialist brother, Stalin always liked to arrange the younger brothers clearly, which would harm the interests of the younger brothers, especially in China, where the family has a big business.But Stalin was not an uncompromising person. If he was upset, the two sides negotiated, and many conditions could actually be won back.After the negotiation went smoothly, Stalin was actually more straightforward than Khrushchev in giving aid or giving support.

For example, to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, in fact, the current conditions are the result of many talks.However, while the support has been increased, Stalin now has some small plans for the armistice negotiations.

Armistice negotiations China is indeed ready for a long-term protracted war.The United States is still unwilling to bow its head. If the terms cannot be negotiated, China will drag it down with you.On the one hand, our base is very stable, and we are not afraid of you cheating. On the other hand, North Korea is really a good place for military training.The 3rd Corps and 19th Corps, which entered North Korea last year, practiced once in North Korea, and their combat effectiveness has been substantially improved.The 20th Corps, which entered the DPRK this year, had a small plantation in the South Korean Army in March, and worked hard to train troops and tactics. The last few small battles were fought very well.Not just specific units, but the entire PLA, from the general staff to logistics to generals, have re-understood industrialized modern warfare in North Korea.

However, China's long-term and protracted war means fighting the Americans in North Korea for two or three years, and letting the People's Liberation Army go to North Korea for a round is enough.

Stalin's small calculation, the long-term protracted war is to let China simply fight the United States in North Korea for ten or eight years, and keep holding back one-third of the US army in North Korea, so as to reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union in Europe.

This is where there is a difference.

It is not enough for China to build a 10-year-8-year plan, as economic recovery, industrial development, and the five-year plan will all be affected.

Since 1952, Stalin did not disclose the telegrams between the Central Committee and the Soviet Union (Stalin), but this is what he meant between the lines.

China did not directly express its objection, but the chairman and the prime minister still euphemistically expressed China's opinion.

Should I find a suitable time to have a good talk with Stalin, or continue with the euphemistic charade and wait until Stalin sees Marx?

...Tang Hua was thinking...

"Minister Tang, look, the military parade has begun."

Marshal Leonid Alexander Govorov, with a tall horse, neat medals and a command knife on his waist, met with the commander of the military parade and began to review.Just riding a horse, absolutely no jeep or car, and the horse is galloping on all fours.

Speeches, salutes, marches, behind the guard of honor is a phalanx of meritorious infantry.

"Commander Xiao and Deputy Commander Luo, maybe the artillery we saw on the train will also appear in the military parade soon," Tang Hua said.

However, the tanks and motorized phalanx have not yet appeared, and the planes have passed in the sky first.

"Commander Xiao, did you see that? That bomber, a Soviet heavy jet bomber!"
