Listening to Tukhachevsky's words, Stalin and Trotsky's faces became extremely ugly. This is not the blame for others, it is the Soviet Union's own lack of preparation.

The Soviet Union in this time and space did not develop as unprecedentedly as in history. The civil war consumed too much of their time, energy and resources, and the most precious time.

After the two sides shook hands and made some preparations, although there was a lot of preparations in China, the demand for resources in all aspects was too great. In order to resume production as soon as possible, most steel and other materials were used to make agricultural machinery such as tractors.

The tanks owned by the Soviet army now were basically produced by Stalin and Trotsky from their teeth. But this was just a drop in the bucket for the huge army.

Less than 800 tanks and more than 1,000 fighter jets were simply not enough to defend the Soviet Union.

"If we produce at full capacity now, how much can the monthly output be achieved?!" Stalin asked Tukhachevsky, but the answer was Alexey Nikolaevich Kosigin, the vice chairman of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Finance.

"Comrade Stalin, I have to tell you that even if we fully produce all our efforts in a month, we can only build about 400 fighter jets and thirty tanks..." Kosykin smiled bitterly: "Although we now have machine tools, we have a serious lack of skilled technical workers. This is our biggest difficulty..."

Machine tools can be bought and crafts can be learned. But those excellent technical workers cannot be accumulated overnight, especially the importance of technical workers in this era is clearly visible.

Historically, the Soviet Union took advantage of the global depression and poached many outstanding technical workers from all over the world to join the Soviet Union, which formed the strong industrial production capacity of the Soviet Union in the early days.

Historically, during the Great Depression, the Soviet Union bought a large number of industrial equipment produced by various countries and introduced a large number of technical workers and engineers.

We only need to look at a set of data to know how the Great Depression caused the Soviet Union to rise.

In 1931, 50% of the machinery and equipment exported by the United States were sold to the Soviet Union. During the same period, between 1929 and 1930, 70% of the total exports of British machines were sold to the Soviet Union. By 1932, this proportion was as high as 90%.

In 1931, 30% of the world's total machine exports were sold to the Soviet Union. A year later, in 1932, this number rose to 50%!

It is no exaggeration to say that in the 1930s, almost all the key and large enterprises in the Soviet Union were armed with advanced Western technologies.

In addition, the Soviet Union also obtained three major steel plants built by the United States, introduced American technical equipment, hired American technical experts to build the largest Dnieper River hydropower station built in 1933, and the famous Gorky automobile factory built by Ford, the American company... and so on.

The Soviet Union did not relax in the introduction of talents. Due to the large number of unemployed technicians in the West during the economic crisis, they accepted the employment of the Soviet Union.

In 1929, there were 1,919 foreign experts working in the Soviet Union. The number of technicians reached 10,655, which was more than 5 times and more than 20 times that of the previous year, that is, in 1928, respectively!

Two years later, in 1932, the number of foreign experts working in the heavy industry reached 6,800 in one fell swoop, and the number of technicians reached tens of thousands. In the United States, the world's largest immigrant country at that time, 100,000 skilled workers and engineers applied to move to the Soviet Union.

It can be seen from this that how much capital, equipment, and technical strength the Soviet Union absorbed at that time. The accumulation of formal these allowed the Soviet Union to stand out in World War II. It eventually transformed into a world pole that could compete with the United States in the Cold War period.

"In the Soviet Union, two-thirds of large enterprises were built with the help of the United States or with technical assistance... the rest were mostly established with technical assistance from Germany, Britain, France, Italy and other countries."

Stalin's words in history are not unreasonable. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union had no good luck in this time and space. The tiger that rose from the three eastern provinces replaced the Soviet Union's position in the Great Depression.

Although the Soviet Union made the biggest dividend in history during the Great Depression, it was not without mistakes. Even after these mistakes were gradually amplified, they eventually turned into the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

For example, due to insufficient talent training, many newly built large enterprises have limited their production capacity due to lack of management and technical personnel. When the first phase of the famous Stalingrad Tractor Factory was put into production in March 1932, it was only possible to produce 3 tractors every day.

In addition, although the Soviet Union relied on importing foreign equipment to develop heavy industry in a short period of time, it was still far behind European and American countries in some high-end technologies, and many products had to rely on imports.

Nothing is all. What was most fatal to the Soviet Union was that they attached too much importance to heavy industry and ignored the development of light industry and agriculture, which led to a situation where the Soviet economy had a large urban-rural difference and the development of industry and agriculture was inconsistent.

Later, the achievements were made by attaching importance to heavy industry, which made the Soviet Union directly ignore these problems. This led to the huge Soviet Union falling on these problems later...

Of course, Tu Mengben, who had carefully read this information and studied these things, would not make such mistakes. The three northeastern provinces were the first to continuously deepen their own heavy industry, and at the same time they did not simply and roughly give up the development of light industry and agriculture.

For example, Fan Xudong, the Minister of Industry of the United Government, took on the main responsibility for the development of light industry in China. Hanhai Research Institute has now been renamed the China Chemical Research Institute. It is committed to research on chemical drug manufacturing, synthetic fiber manufacturing, daily chemical products, etc., and of course it will also do military research.

The Agricultural College of Northeastern University was the first college to invest in great manpower, material resources and mental strength. The funding of Dongda University has never been reduced. Instead, it has continued to increase with the growth of the coalition government and the National Defense Forces.

Tu Mengben did not only pay attention to the talents in heavy industry like the Soviet Union in history. Basically, as long as this tiger is a talent, no matter you are an agricultural, light industry, or even animal husbandry. Animal husbandry can help herders improve cattle and sheep populations on the Mongolian grasslands. Agriculture can teach at the agricultural college while improving grain seeds.

Tu Mengben and the three eastern provinces have attracted a large number of experts, researchers and technical personnel from Europe and the United States. At present, there are a large number of scientific researchers in China with more than 10,000 foreign experts. Among them, there are more than 7,000 foreign experts.

They are distributed in the Chemical Research Institute, the Internal Research Institute of the National Defense Forces, the Imperial Capital University, the United Government Comprehensive University expanded from the former East University, etc. On the one hand, they are responsible for scientific research, and on the other hand, they are also responsible for teaching and leading graduate students for research.

Tu Mengben knew better than anyone that it was so difficult to cultivate his own talents. But no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it. Therefore, he contacted Zion and demanded that Einstein must give lectures in China.

The coalition government will give Einstein everything necessary for the experiment. Tu Mengben did this in order to cultivate more talents for his country, so that they will be the backbone of the country in the future.

"Try your best to produce... How much can you make..." Stalin sighed. After all, this matter is all his responsibility and Trotsky. If we talk more carefully, it is all caused by Stalin.

"Contact the United States and the coalition government. See if they can give us some help, especially the United States." Trotsky is now thinking about it. This situation must be saved first.

The Germans' record in Europe made him frightened. If Germany, which is no longer in control, is coming to the Soviet Union, then any fool would think of the consequences.

The Soviet Union, which is now extremely weak, cannot withstand such severe consumption at all. However, Trotsky's words made Stalin look at him with admiration.

Stalin thought Trotsky would fiercely oppose asking for help from the United States, so he originally planned to propose a good idea to the United States and did not speak out.

But what Stalin didn't expect was that Trotsky simply asked the United States for help. Even the coalition government was considering it. I have to say that this is really a bit of a politician attitude that can be put down.

"Comrade Stalin, we have no choice now! If Germany launches an offensive against us, then what awaits us will be a more arduous battle than the time when the Soviet was established..."

"I support you very much, Comrade Trotsky." Stalin smiled and said, "In fact, I want to ask you for my visit to the United States to seek support from the United States."

After pausing, Stalin said: "The situation in the United States is not good now. Although the defense force of the coalition government is very strong, they do not have a navy. Therefore, there is no way to pose a threat to the Japanese joint fleet. The result is that the east coast of the United States is directly facing the threat of the Japanese joint fleet..."

"If it were in the past, the United States could still carry out local defense. At least their fleets were not a problem. But now Britain has lost its homeland, which directly caused the United States to face German naval attacks from the Atlantic..."

Stalin soon analyzed the advantages that the Soviets may have when they obtain American support. If the Soviet Union could attract most of Germany's troops in Europe, at least the United States would not face the danger of Germany landing on the United States.

If Germany can be successfully held back, at least the chance of Germany entering the United States from the Atlantic will be much less. If the Soviet Union can launch an attack on Germany from Poland, then Germany will have no time to take care of other places.

"Okay! Comrade Stalin, then you will prepare the list and decide when to visit the United States." Trotsky nodded and agreed to Stalin's proposal.

"For the Defense Forces, I think it would be of no use for us to send people." Stalin said with a wry smile: "According to the war report, the Defense Forces are now launching a large-scale attack on the Southeast Asian region occupied by the Japanese army. They don't know if their own weapons and equipment are enough, so naturally they will not have extra support to us."

"And that tiger has always had a close relationship with Germany, and even his wife is a princess of the German royal family. So I don't expect to get any equipment from him..."

Everyone accepted Stalin's explanation. Trotsky finally sighed: "Let me go there! At least, try to see if you can get some weapons and equipment. China is relatively close to us. Weapons are transported faster. Otherwise, if you wait for the United States, you won't know when..."

"No one can tell when the war between us and Germany will begin..."

"At the latest year, Germany will choose to attack the Soviet Union." News of London's capture. Tu Mengben has already obtained it. Germany's actions are likely to be related to the subsequent strategy of the coalition government.

To this end, senior leaders of the United Government and the Defense Forces held a meeting in the conference room of the United Government of the Imperial Capital.

"For us now, what is important is how long can the Soviet Union last? If Germany conquered the Soviet Union, will it threaten us?" Lin Sen frowned and said, "I have to say that the Germans fought very beautifully in Europe! Especially after the victory of the naval battle, they carried out successively landing operations. They destroyed the defense of the British in one go and forced the British cabinet to choose to evacuate."

The war in the southwest is underway. Since the three military regions that have just completed the Zhejiang Campaign need to be repaired. At the same time, these troops have to escort a large number of prisoners of war to work on the construction site, the battle against Southeast Asia can only be the Southwest Military Region singing a one-man show.

"It is possible to conquer the Soviet Union." Tu Mengben smiled bitterly. The current Soviet Union is far less powerful than history. Due to the National Defense Forces and his emergence, they seized the human, financial and other resources that originally belonged to the Soviet Union. It also caused a large-scale internal friction in the Soviet Union, which led to the current Soviet Union being extremely poor and weak.

There are four words to fight against Germany in the current state of the Soviet Union: There are many dangers. With the current production capacity of the Soviet Union, Germany only needs two or three battles to completely defeat the Soviet Union's counterattack ability.

"The Soviet Union doesn't have to worry." Yan Zhengqing smiled and said, "Some people are more worried than us. I believe they will support the Soviet Union."

Yan Zhengqing said, walking to the huge world map and clicking Canada. Everyone's eyes lit up, yes! Britain has now retreated to Canada, and the Soviet Union is their natural barrier.

This is even more true for the United States. If the Soviet Union is captured by Germany, then Canada and the United States will not be guaranteed. For this reason, the United States will definitely strongly support the Soviet Union. At least it must ensure that the Soviet Union will not be directly occupied by Germany in the war.

No one here asked why Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union. Because this matter was obvious. Germany could not attack the United States or Canada from the sea. First of all, their fleet did not reach such a strong point.

Secondly, cross-sea attacks, especially landing operations across the ocean, are almost a dream. Moreover, the opponent is not a small country, and the productive capacity and combat effectiveness are not weak.

But if the United Kingdom and the United States are not resolved, then Germany will face the result of these two countries launching counterattacks at any time. This is not what Germany wants to see.

But now, the most important resources for Germany are almost all on the territory of the Soviet Union. They have lost their elbows and are strong, their opponents are not strong and they have a large amount of resources. Moreover, their territory is still adjacent to their own strong enemies.

As long as you are not a fool, you probably guess what Germany will do next.

"But if Germany really takes over the Soviet Union, it's hard to guarantee that they won't make any decisions about us. So we'd better strengthen our defense." Tu Sanpao, who had just rushed back to the imperial capital from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, looked at everyone and said, "Don't move the troops first. Let Mongolia in the three eastern provinces and regions do militia training first, and the imperial capital must keep some mobile troops. I think it's better to stay in the Central China Military Region. If Germany really defeats the Soviet Union, we still have the strength to fight back."

Everyone nodded, but that was the case.

"Old Fan coordinates the relocation of factories in the three eastern provinces. Old workers should separate to support factories in the pass. In this way, once problems arise in the three eastern provinces, our troops will not be cut off."

"The research institute will also move all to the imperial capital. In the past, the three northeastern provinces were our main industrial bases. But now there may be danger, so it is better to move to the imperial capital. Besides, we are all in the imperial capital now, so it is easy to know if you have anything to do..."

Pao Ye expressed seven or eight opinions in one breath. Fan Xudong and others nodded constantly and recorded these opinions in their notebooks. Prepare for the future, Lao Fan didn't want to see his efforts fall into the hands of others.

Especially those chemical factories, it is simply his lifeblood.

"Tianmen has an old factory site that we have been in the old factory. I think it's okay to expand and resettle it back. Moreover, it's near the sea, and there are many railway routes and transportation is convenient at that time..."

After recording Pao Ye’s opinion, Fan Xudong also expressed his opinion.

"I think it's better to move some factories, especially ammunition factories, to Guangxi. Next, we are fighting the Southeast Asian battle, which is convenient for supply of ammunition a little closer to the frontline..."

"There are explosives. If these dangerous goods transportation lines are too long, they are likely to cause accidents. My suggestion is also part of the internal migration. It is best to form an explosives manufacturer with independent production capacity not far from the ammunition factory..."

Fan Xudong made a lot of comments, and the executive members of the coalition government, including Yang Yuting, also recorded them one by one. The relocation is not a small project, it involves the coordination of transportation, several parts of the local government and the coalition government, and local institutions.

This meeting only sets the general direction, and the specific implementation will be carried out through a series of internal discussions and coordination.

"When will the two military regions in East China and South China return to the battlefield?!" After these things came to an end, Tu Mengben turned to his father and said.

"It will take at least three months." Pao Ye shrugged and said, "There are too many prisoners. If you don't deal with them, Ahua will not be able to go into battle. The monkeys in Southeast Asia are easy to deal with, and some of them are not convinced. We have to clean up and let the troops withdraw. Otherwise, there may be trouble." (To be continued.
