Chapter 553 At least, the railway must be completed
"It took so long to prepare that the ammunition and strategic materials had a certain scale and would not be exhausted early." Fan Zhong also received news of the firecrackers on the front line near the Japanese and couldn't help but sigh.
When the vanguard army fought against the Japanese, the battle usually took about three or five days, no more than a week. For no other reason, it was mainly because ammunition and military supplies were consumed too much, and logistics supplements could not last too long. Even if the production scale of the base increased, the logistics support from the production workshop to the front line could not be quickly met. In many cases, it was even stopped a few miles to the front line.
When the vanguard army advanced rapidly, this lack of logistical support was even more prominent. Many objective difficulties could not be completely solved by Meng Xiang paying attention to it. The huge number of them can easily cause qualitative congestion on the longer and longer fronts. The longer the attack distance, the larger the scale of the battle, the more likely it is to have various problems.
Fortunately, under the fierce firepower of the vanguard army, the Japanese could not hold on for a long time, so it was easy to be dealt with again and again. This was also related to the weak weapons and equipment of the Japanese. The Japanese's equipment in the First World War and the Vanguard Army's World War II weapon system were not much comparable. But if they encountered the Soviet Union, Meng Xiang was not sure that they could fight so smoothly.
Not to mention the collision of steel and flames between the two sides, it is very troublesome to ensure the timely supply of logistics on the vast land and on the long journey. When anything is involved in long-distance transportation, it will begin to deviate from its original value.
One thing may not be worth a penny in its place of origin, but a foreign land thousands of miles away may be the place where huge profits are interpreted. The huge amount of military supplies becomes desperate as the distance increases. Napoleon and Hitler are all defeated by the logistics support for long-distance combat.
Even the American empire in later generations had too much logistical pressure and surged costs due to long-distance combat. After the benefits of the war exceeded their output, they naturally had to withdraw from the Vietnam War.
Even half-scout military fans can tell a little about the importance of logistics, and Fan Zhong and others studied the basic elements of food and grass first for a long time, and were so frustrated that they almost gave up this battle against Outer Mongolia.
There is nothing else, the logistics system of the vanguard army cannot support the consumption of long-distance large-scale battles.
Logistics broadly starts with the production of military materials. Although the military industrial system of the Pioneer Army has been established, it cannot be supported even in defensive battles with the Japanese, let alone in long-distance assault operations.
"It's hard to feel at ease in this first level alone." Although Fan Zhong had already received Meng Xiang's confident answer, he still reminded him repeatedly. The lifeline of the production of weapons and ammunition of the Pioneer Army is always in the hands of others. Once there is any change in the middle, it will directly push the fate of China into the abyss.
After all, such a move involves the fate of a country. While going to war with the Soviet Union, he is in a relationship with the Soviet Union. If he is accidentally torn off by these two evil wolves.
"Those materials are already in our hands, and there is no need to worry about it." Meng Xiang could not explain it thoroughly, and finally he could only fabricate a secret contract signed with the counterfeit company, saying that he had obtained enough of the vanguard army to use a batch of astronomical supplies for a long time, and revealed the news that he had a certain right to speak in the counterfeit company, which was considered as safeguarding Fan Zhong and others. Otherwise, Fan Zhong and others would rather continue to wait. Although Meng Xiang's will is absolute, it still won't be too much.
But Meng Xiang was unwilling to wait any longer, even if the Germans attacked the Soviet Union and asked China to get a bargain.
Others don’t know how he forgot that Germany’s opponent is most of the world? Even if the franchise of the base may change its future destiny, Meng Xiang did not dare to make such a heavy bet. It is not possible to rely solely on Germans in China. Some technical resources from the UK, the United States and other countries are needed by China. Before China was prepared more fully, Meng Xiang did not want to completely break up with the United States, Britain and other countries.
Moreover, there are too many unstable factors between China and the Germans, so it is unwise to place all hope on the friendship of the Germans.
At this time, China was involved in these grievances between Europe and the United States as soon as possible, unless it was to reveal the secret of the base, it would be the life of the younger brother. At this time, the proud Lao Xi believed in his fate of committing suicide? Will he obey Meng Xiang's bitter words? His greatest dependence still depends on himself. If he can tear his face a little later, he will have more opportunities to grow and grow.
Therefore, Meng Xiang still maintained a relationship with the Germans so that it would not be too much. Even the British did not want to offend the Pioneer Army completely at once. Even the military orders were sent to the Pioneer Army's tens of millions of pounds, maintaining a certain degree of gentle relationship.
Meng Xiang naturally didn't want to bear the reputation of axial allies who attacked the Soviet Union with the Germans so quickly. Therefore, there was a big difference between attacking first and attacking later.
The first attack can be explained as hostility to Sovietism. Coupled with the particularity of Outer Mongolia, the United States and Britain who wanted to go to the Soviet Union could not say any reason to complain. The Germans were also the Germans' own behavior, and each attack was not considered a joint attack. Even if the war situation was uncontrollable in the later stage, it was only the Soviet Union's reason, and it was not the United States and Britain who wanted to put their hats on it. They would not easily tear their faces through the window paper.
If the Germans attack with them, the Soviet Union will soon start with the United States and Britain and fight back against China. Meng Xiang, who felt that he would not be able to compete with the United States, was obviously unwilling to see this result. It would be better to let the Germans act as shields in front, and it would be more practical for the vanguard to be an invisible allies first.
With the golden fingers of the ostentatious light, the Germans may be able to make more trouble. When the Germans are about to be unable to hold on, Meng Xiang will have the confidence to let China alone fight against the heroes.
"The material problem can be ignored, but with such a long transportation distance, how to solve the transportation problem?" Even Yu Dawei did not have much confidence. He could use the advanced communication tools of the Pioneer Army to improve higher efficiency, but he was really troubled when facing the transportation of huge materials.
When he was in the Central Army, he also faced transportation difficulties, but that was a headache for the cooperation between the small carts and donkeys of migrant workers, while the Pioneer Army needed to worry about railways, roads and air transport.
The conditions at this time cannot be discussed with the global logistics system that later Americans rely on the sky, and even when they go to Outer Mongolia, the transportation of land logistics in this era cannot be separated from the support of roads, among which railways are the strongest guarantee.
The materials transported by trucks are worth more than a dozen trucks. Especially long-distance transportation, it further highlights its advantages of large transportation volume, fast and efficient transportation and low transportation costs. This has also become the favorite of military transportation at this time.
However, there has not been a railway extending to Outer Mongolia from China to this day.
The new railway built by the Pioneer Army was only built from Jining to Saihantara, which was still a long way from Erlianhot on the border. But even so, it encountered opposition from some people from the Soviet Union and even from the country.
Every railway is a nerve line connecting the country, the nerve line connecting the interests of the country, the local and local.
If the Russo-Japanese War was completed in advance, the Siberian Railway would have been another ending. The polar bear's claws could not be extended to the vast Siberian plains, and the bear's strength could not be played out.
Although the Russians' low efficiency did not play a full role in this artery during World War I, causing large quantities of goods to accumulate in Vladivostok and other ports to rot, nor did they save Tsarist Russia's destiny, but everyone admitted that this railway was a major artery that was at risk for Soviet rule in the Far East.
The intention of the vanguard army to build a railway in the direction of Outer Mongolia is very obvious. Can it not attract the Soviet Union's vigilance and protest? Obviously, the Soviet Union's infiltration in China has been very old. In the construction of this railway, the theater government has been hindered by some forces. From the resolution of the Citizens' Congress to the turbulence of the on-site construction team, the shadow of the game behind the Soviet Union is constantly flashing on this road.
However, the Soviet Union also underestimated the ruling ability of the vanguard army. The various policies of the vanguard army benefited the people and won the recognition of the people. All kinds of turmoil were just turbulent. Even if some bandits they organized on the grasslands were quickly destroyed, it did not affect the overall situation. This railway was still tenaciously extending towards Outer Mongolia.
In the eyes of many people, this railway is like a fuse that continues to extend towards Outer Mongolia. Perhaps before the railway is completed, the conflict between the two countries is about to intensify.
"Don't worry, if they dare to invade, the friendship of the Soviet people will let them know our strength." Molotov comforted Qiao Bashan and said. The supplies that Madame Molotov said had spread throughout the world with the gasoline bottle, but the figure of the Soviet Foreign Minister was still marching around the world with the focus of the war.
Although he was in Ulaanbaatar at this time, his heart had already flown to the Soviet-German issue where the contradictions were becoming increasingly intensified. Today, he hurriedly rushed to Berlin after a while of negotiations here.
"The Pioneer Army will at least wait until the railway is completed before it can cause more trouble. So don't worry about their actions. They are just terrorizing you, but the brave people cannot be scared." He comforted again after seeing Chobashan's expression.
