Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

In Ding Wei's eyes, he is the Big Brother when he is beneficial, and the Old Russian when he is not beneficial.

This is not just his one-sided opinion, it depends entirely on the other party's performance.

For example, in the Mengjiang region, the other side had been stationing troops in Outer Mongolia. Since 24, it has established a pro-Soviet regime and deceived Outer Mongolia into becoming independent.

After this happened, the number of garrison troops increased and they apparently controlled the territory of Outer Mongolia.

In the final analysis, this is ours, going back to our ancestors.

Going back to the Yuan Dynasty, large tracts of this stuff belonged to the Soviet Union.

The Chinese people should not have ambitions of aggression, but they should have the dream of recovering their homeland and work hard for it.

The topic went off track, and Ding Wei asked someone to invite Arnold in, forcing a smile on his face.

Looking at Arnold, who had a full beard but was full of energy, the two hugged each other "passionately" to show their revolutionary friendship.

The rise of the Suirecha Military Region solved a major problem for the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia.

There is no longer a need to constantly guard against the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia attacking to the north, so more energy can be saved and it is enough to just deal with the Kwantung Army.

Arnov had a smooth journey from Outer Mongolia to Wucheng without having to worry about the harassment and raids of the Japanese devils, let alone the group of scum of the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry.

"My dear revolutionary comrade, it makes me happy to see you again."

Ding Wei patted the other person on the back. Arnov smelled of motor oil and butter, which was exciting rather than dirty.

This is the smell of machinery, the smell that is most lacking in this barren land.

Having smelled enough of the earthy smell mixed with the blood of his compatriots, Suercha could not wait to let the golden blood flow, and let the oil, tanks, and artillery pass through here.

The two sides are allies, so Ding Wei went straight to the point.

"Have the supplies that came quickly last time been used up?"

Arnov nodded and praised Ding Wei's efficiency. The two sides exchanged one ton for one ton, using a large number of scrapped cars, tanks and artillery to exchange for thousands of tons of corn and sorghum.

The things that were a headache for Arnold to deal with could actually be exchanged for golden millet and barley when brought to Ding Wei.

The Russians would not bother to do anything that has no benefit.

Arnof benefited from it, and the Soviet troops stationed in Outer Mongolia also benefited from it.

It takes thousands of kilometers to transport supplies along the Trans-Siberian Railway.

To transport supplies from Chabei and Mengjiang regions, only cars and horses are needed, and a round trip can be completed in a month.

All that was consumed were some captured and unusable weapons and equipment.

Anov was ambitious and wanted to expand this deal. They had scrapped hundreds of tanks in the Battle of Nomonhan, and the cost of dismantling them was high.

The equipment that can be dismantled has been basically stripped away, and the rest can be treated as scrap metal.

For a country with many steel mills and completed industrialization, abandoned tanks and artillery are useless, and even if they can be recycled, the cost will be too high.

The composition of the recycled molten steel is complex. A tank contains multiple alloy steels. It is better to directly use ore with high iron content.

There is a complete process to deal with the impurities in iron ore, and the impurities and added alloys in finished tanks and artillery are difficult to remove.

The cost of remelting is high and the quality of the steel produced is poor.

These problems are not problems for Ding Wei. For an agricultural country, quality should be put aside first, and the output should be increased first to solve the problem of whether there is enough or not.

When you can’t even make a bayonet, who cares about the quality of steel?

The scrapped tanks can even be used directly after repair and used as teaching materials to train armored troops.

At worst, if they are dismantled and recycled, they are still far more valuable than the same weight of grain.

The price of a ton of steel is undoubtedly higher than that of a ton of grain.

There is no need to calculate this account too much. Anyone who is not a fool can figure it out.

Arnold is ambitious, and so is Ding Wei.

The last transaction was a small one, this time it has to be at least doubled.

"Anov, I intend to ask Moscow for international assistance and apply for 2 million rubles of assistance from your army, including talent training, technical assistance, and a complete military production line."

After hearing Ding Wei's words, the other party became cautious. A loan of 2 million rubles is not a small amount.

Ding Wei told him not to be so surprised, they were all adults and these were just two small goals, nothing at all.

He took out the list and asked Arnold to look it over.

This included two groups of personnel who were transferred by the Suirecha Military Region to study in the Soviet Union and learn modern warfare.

There is also a BT-7 fast tank production line, as well as the production equipment needed by the rest of the military factories.

Ding Wei has big ambitions and promised to pay in three installments, one installment every six months.

The repayment will be made with food and other combat supplies, and the repayment standard will be 2.5 million rubles.

In just one and a half years, he was paid a quarter of his interest.

It sounds tempting.

Arnov looked Ding Wei up and down, but he began to have second thoughts.

He could afford these things, but he was worried that Ding Wei could not afford to repay them, or even the entire Eighth Route Army could not afford to repay them.

This is not a small amount of aid. The equipment, factory buildings, and production lines required are all items that are strictly prohibited from export.

Without the approval of the top leaders, these technologies could not be provided to the Eighth Route Army.

Ding Wei didn't give any explanation, but just took out the battle map he had been studying recently.

Based on the existing intelligence, he drew the deployment of the Soviet and Japanese armies and his own troops.

"Arnold, my good friend, you and I are comrades fighting together. We have only one enemy, the group of lunatics who are fanatically trying to control the world."

"Think about it. Think about it carefully."

Anov's face changed. Knowing the importance of the Suirecha Military Region, he blocked the southwest direction of the Kwantung Army.

As long as Ding Wei's troops are stationed here, they can at least distract the attention of 5 Japanese troops.

This means that the Far Eastern Army can deploy 50 fewer people to guard against so-called ambitious lunatics.

This data is not Ding Wei's nonsense, nor is it Arnoff's guess, but the deduced conclusion reached by the Kwantung Army after sufficient calculations.

After the two sides fought once at Nomonhan, they knew each other's strengths.

The Soviet army was aware of the logistical pressure in the Far East and also realized that this group of devils was difficult to deal with. This can be inferred from the fact that the entire Far East Army has maintained a force of more than 100 million.

The Kwantung Army realized that the Russians are not easy to mess with, and the Russians realized that the Kwantung Army are wolves and will bite you viciously.

The Russians' strategy was to increase troops, add more aircraft and artillery, improve combat effectiveness, and deal with the Kwantung Army.

The Japanese strategy was to engage in comprehensive defense, build complete border fortresses, and rely on fortifications to confront the enemy.

The standards for repairing the fortifications were extremely high, especially for the 17 large fortresses, which required a huge amount of manpower and material resources.

The Japanese repaired their fortifications based on the situation of 1:10 between the defenders and the attackers, which meant that 10 Kwantung Army soldiers could resist the attack of enemy soldiers.

If Ding Wei can involve 5 Japanese troops, there will be 5 fewer people in the border fortress.

Further reduce the pressure on the Far East Army.

Anov bluntly stated that he could not make up his mind and that the matter needed to be discussed together by the commanders of the front and the Far Eastern Army.
