Chapter 351: Manchurian Winter, Arnov is forced to break the ice
Almost all the changes in the Far East were directed at Ding Wei's North Manchuria Military Region.
Doubt is one thing, being 100% sure is another.
After all, Ding Wei's troops had not moved at all, it was all the devils who were tossing. What they paid in secret were just some Japanese weapons that they didn't like.
Even if they were directed towards us, what could they do? We had over 300,000 troops blocking the front line. They were not the defective ones like the later Kwantung Army, but real front-line troops.
It doesn't make much sense for the Russians to have a million-strong Far Eastern Army.
If a real fight breaks out, the logistics will be enough to drag him down.
Even the attack on a paralyzed Kwantung Army was blocked. If you really communicate with Ding Wei, you can give it a try.
What's more, the two sides need to ease the relationship. The situation in Europe has escalated. The Eagle Sauce and the Bear have completely broken up.
This also led to a complete break between the National Government supported by the Eagle Sauce and the loving father, and it was unable to gain any benefits from Nanjing.
Not wanting to give up their interests in the Far East, they had no choice but to turn and support the Manchurian Democratic Alliance.
Even if Ding Wei did it, the Far East Army would have to come out to defend him.
The situation forces us to change our circumstances.
There are three ways to solve the problem of Manchuria. First, let the Nationalist Army take over Manchuria and let the Eagle Sauce support and take charge of the discourse. This is what Moscow least wants to see.
Second, let the Manchurian Democratic Alliance win, ensure the right to speak in the Far East, and win them over as subordinates. Of course, this result is what the Eagle Sauce is most reluctant to see, and they don't want to see the Russian bear dominate the Far East.
Third, Manchuria International will be placed under trusteeship by a joint organization. Neither the Eagle Sauce nor the Bear can take charge of the overall situation due to pressure and circumstances.
But the third method is not in our favor. How can we give up the fertile Manchurian territory and millions of square kilometers of land in vain?
We still have to fight to decide the winner.
My father had already broken off relations with the Nationalist government and could only try to win over the Manchurian Democratic Alliance.
Who has the final say on the situation in Manchuria? It is not the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, nor Du Yiqi in Fengtian, but Ding Wei.
He could decide the outcome of the situation in Manchuria, and he could make things happen with a wave of his hand.
He held two positions, one was the commander of the North Manchuria Military Region, and the other was the commander of the Northeast Headquarters. Whichever side he leaned towards would determine the victory.
The National Army boasted about retaking the Manchurian capital of Xinjing (Changchun), but in essence it was Ding Wei occupying the city and assigning Ding Wei's troops to the National Army to gild their own reputation.
Both the Eagle Sauce and the Russian Bear are very clear about one thing: if they want to gain the right to speak in the Far East, the most direct way is to deal with Ding Wei's 70 troops and get his support.
Based on this point, it is impossible for the loving father to turn against him, let alone blame Ding Wei for the problems in the Far East.
Arnov was so confused. There were so many people in the Far Eastern Army, why was he always assigned to serve Ding Wei?
The latest mission [Ice-breaking Journey] has just been received from Moscow, to ease relations with the North Manchuria Military Region, ease border issues, and ease relations with Ding Wei.
Whoever gets Ding Wei will have the right to speak in the Far East.
The military's order could not be avoided, and Anov's First Front took the lead in retreating 5 kilometers to the rear, breaking the stalemate.
Representatives were then arranged to go to Hailar to convey the idea of having a chat with Ding Wei.
What a coincidence! Ding Wei got 20 Katyusha rocket launcher vehicles.
Each vehicle has 8 launch rails and can launch 16 132mm rockets at the same time.
The maximum range is 8.5 kilometers, and each rocket is as powerful as a 152mm howitzer.
Now that we have Katyusha, when will we get some rockets? It is said that a rocket is equivalent to a gold bar, and Ding Wei wants to hit the Soviets' gold bars hard.
The Songhua River has begun to freeze. Once this natural barrier freezes, the thick layer of ice will allow tanks and cars to pass directly, turning the natural barrier into a thoroughfare.
The intelligence personnel noticed the movements of the Nationalist Army and seemed to be planning to continue heading north?
There were some changes in the armistice agreement with the National Army.
On the bus that crossed the border from Borja to Manzhouli, Anov frowned and was checked by the patrol troops. Only after confirming that there were no problems was he allowed to pass.
Go along the railway and highway and arrive at the Hailar River.
Ding Wei took a train west from Harbin and arrived at Hailar Station.
The two sides met here, and as soon as they got out of the car, Arnold put on a smiling face.
"Dear Ding, we meet again. I really miss the days when we fought together."
Look at this greasy and hypocritical greeting. The Russian guy's face is full of hypocrisy.
The situation is what it is, there is no need to act.
"Lieutenant General Arnold is the commander of the army group. How can he look down on a nobody like me? Even if your country has a million troops sweeping across Manchuria, you don't need us to fight side by side."
With a self-deprecating smile, Arnold still gritted his teeth and chatted for a while about what he thought were humorous jokes, but in fact they sounded as dry as a piece of bread without salt.
If you can't tell a joke, don't tell one.
Ding Wei looked to the west, which saw a desolate place.
When the grass dries up, it's really not a good place for people to live.
"Arnold, you and I are old friends, we know each other well. We know each other's thoughts. Let's get down to business. Tell me why you're here, what do you need me to do?"
Zhou Weiguo looked around and clearly ordered all the soldiers to withdraw to a distance, leaving space for them to talk alone.
Arnold chuckled and said, adults shouldn't be so complicated, it would be better to be straightforward.
"The situation in the Far East is turbulent, and Moscow is worried. What price should we pay to make the Far East look quieter? By the way, we can also open up railway lines and ice-free ports."
These are three requirements. Ding Wei is the best at analyzing problems.
If you want to make the Far East look quieter, then let the Russians divide some ceasefire areas and give the Japanese guerrillas a chance to take root.
If we stop sending troops to the mountainous areas, these people will naturally become relatively quiet.
However, the Japanese devils' brains cannot be judged by common sense, and Ding Wei doesn't care whether they continue to fight with the Far Eastern Army with bayonets.
With their military strength of over one million, wouldn't it be easy for them to capture only thirty or fifty thousand bandits?
As for the second thing, opening up the China-Eastern Railway to maintain the exchange of materials between the two sides. This matter is beneficial to both sides. Ding Wei also has an industry in Dezi and has invested 3 million US dollars, which is slowly fermenting.
It can even attract some German technical personnel with high salaries to come and guide military research and development.
The Russians' jet fighters are full of Hitler's style. They don't think outsiders can't see it, do they?
The MiG and Yak jet fighters definitely have traces of Dezi's technology.
The era of propeller fighters is coming to an end, and these obsolete ones in Ding Wei's hands are not even worth a hair of a jet aircraft.
If we can get support from some German technical personnel, we can directly skip the piston propeller fighter and research the first jet fighter.
Opening the railway line is beneficial to both sides and facilitates exchanges with the Soviet Union.
Threats are threats, but everyone needs to develop.
Ding Wei is willing to relax the military blockade of the Hailar area and open up the east-west railway line.
