    In response to Stalin's question, General Abanashank, who was indisputable in the Far East Military Region, did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: "They not only provided information on these new weapons, but also provided a considerable amount of intelligence on the Japanese troops in the Far East Military Region.  Please allow me to report to you using the map [.Com text]"

    After seeing Stalin nod, Abanaschenko walked directly to the map of the Soviet Far East that had been hung in Stalin's office, picked up his baton and said: "Comrade Stalin, according to Chinese comrades, the Kwantung Army occupying Manchuria has been  Since 1934, various fortresses have been built on a large scale on the Sino-Soviet border.¡±

    "The Japanese army recruited a large number of laborers and captured a large number of prisoners in the war against China. Starting from Hunchun at the entrance of the Tumen River in the east, a large number of fortification areas and solid permanent fortifications were built along the Manchu-Soviet border.  ¡±

    "These fortifications start from Hunchun in the east and are located in Hunchun, Dongning, Lumingtai, Suifenhe, Guanyuetai, Banjiehe, Miaoling, Hutou, Fujin, Xingshan, Hormojin, and Aihui from east to west.  , Heihe, Fabiela, Wu'er, Hailar, and Ershan areas."

    "Currently, eight fortresses have been completed: Dongning, Suifenhe, Banjiehe, Hutou, Hormojin, Aihui, Heihe, and Hailar. The one that is about to be completed is the Xingshan Fortress in Heli, which has been used by China  The Xingshan Fortress captured by Comrade Xi Jinping is the largest among the fourteen fortresses that are under construction or have been completed. As for the rest, most of them have just begun construction."

    "The eight fortresses that have been completed can all be used as starting areas for attacking the Soviet Union. These fortresses can generally accommodate one to two divisions according to the Japanese army's establishment. Judging from the distribution of these fortresses provided by Chinese comrades,  The greatest threats to us are the fortresses located in Dongning and Hutou."

    "Dongning Fortress can accommodate three Japanese divisions, and the straight-line distance from Vladivostok is only 200 kilometers. If the Japanese army organizes a powerful assault corps and sets out from Dongning Fortress, once it destroys our defense line,  Vladivostok, our most important port in the Far East and the seat of the Pacific Fleet headquarters, can be captured within days.¡±

    "And its Tiger Head Fortress in Hulin County is at the center point between Khabarovsk, where the Far East Military District Headquarters is located, and Vladivostok, where the Pacific Fleet is mainly stationed. Its firepower deployment can contain our lifeline in the Far East.  The Ussuri railway line.¡±

    "This Tiger Head Fortress is equipped with a powerful artillery group, which is not only equipped with 300 mm and 240 mm heavy artillery, but also at least six 150 mm cannons with a range of about 20 kilometers and a large number of  150 mm howitzer."

    "These artillery are located in semi-underground permanent fortifications constructed of large amounts of reinforced concrete. Their fire range can directly hit the Iman Iron Bridge, an important chokepoint on the Ussuri Railway, which is the lifeline of the Far East Military Region. Once the Iman Railway Bridge is under fire,  Blockade, the land connection between Khabarovsk, the Far East Military District Command, and the Pacific Fleet will be completely cut off.¡±

    "Comrade Stalin, although our intelligence department knows that the Japanese army has been building permanent fortifications, the size, specific number, troop strength and firepower allocation are due to the tight blockade of the Japanese army. After the construction of the fortifications is completed, a large number of laborers will be employed.  massacre, leaving our intelligence services with very little information on this."

    "A lot of long-distance reconnaissance can only be carried out by aviation forces flying within our territory. But Comrade Stalin, you know that the information obtained in this way is very inaccurate. It does not play much role in our judgment of the movements of the Japanese army. In many cases, it even causes  Our misjudgment.¡±

    "In addition to the movements of the Japanese army, they also obtained some information about the German army through the German Embassy in Manchuria. They clearly told us that the German army will launch a full-scale attack on Poland on September 1, with the tank division as the forerunner. Comrade Stalin, this  Intelligence is important.¡±

    Regarding Abanashek's answer, Stalin pondered for a long time and then said slowly: "Comrade Abanashek, what do you think of the current strength of Chinese comrades who still insist on being in Northeast China? What do we think about them?"  Does the support have a certain impact on stabilizing the great Soviet eastern defense line? You know, our energy is now mainly focused on the western region. "

    Regarding Stalin's question, Abanaschenko hesitated for a moment and then said: "Comrade Stalin, I think the activities of these Chinese comrades in Manchuria will help us contain the Japanese army. As long as they grow stronger, they can contain more Japanese divisions."  The regiment stayed in Manchuria."

    "The Japanese have always believed that resource-rich Manchuria is the lifeline of their survival. Although the civil war in China's Guanzhong is tense, they still maintain a large number of troops in the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and are constantly transferring and forming new divisions."

    ¡°The Japanese troop surge in Manchuria gave the Yuan Dynasty?The great pressure brought by the military region.  As a result, we had to maintain a large number of active forces on the Manchu-Soviet border and spend a lot of time and money to build solid fortification areas to prevent the attack of heavy Japanese army groups.  "

    "If Chinese comrades can develop and grow, they can attract more Japanese troops, which will greatly reduce our pressure. Moreover, with instability in the rear and the emergence of a powerful guerrilla force, the Japanese army will not be able to carry out large-scale operations  Attack our Far East."

    "Comrade Stalin, when I took office, the situation of these Chinese comrades was still very difficult. They were suppressed by the Japanese army and could only move in the mountains and forests. But at the beginning of this year, this situation changed. A very capable person appeared among them.  General, this person led their few remnants under the Japanese encirclement and suppression, broke through the Japanese encirclement and suppression many times, and grew stronger. "

    "Just some time ago, not long after the conflict in the Nomonhan area broke out, they defeated the main force of a Japanese division in one fell swoop and drove it back to the starting point. Comrade Stalin, I think if these Chinese comrades can properly  If we get some assistance and grow stronger, it will greatly reduce our pressure in the Far East. "

    ¡°And they can provide us with more information about Japanese military activities in Manchuria, which can greatly facilitate our policy formulation. Much of this information about Comrade Stalin is inaccessible to our intelligence personnel.¡±

    Stalin understood what General Abanashank meant.  He understood that this general agreed to provide some necessary support to the Chinese comrades operating in Manchuria in order to contain the Kwantung Army, the largest heavily armed group currently deployed by the Japanese army in Manchuria.

    Stalin put down the iconic pipe he had been holding, stood up and walked around the office several times and said: "Comrade Abanashank, come and see what our Chinese friends want. Is it like them?"  The Nationalist Government is as open-mouthed as a lion?¡±

    Abanashenk quickly took out the supplies prepared by Yang Zhen from the bag beside him, and handed them to Stalin respectfully: "Comrade Stalin, it's strange that they only need a few sniper-type Mosin-Nagant rifles and anti-aircraft weapons."  Weapons, and almost all others are military raw materials.¡±

    "However, I think they made such a choice because they had an arsenal in their hands, which could at least manufacture some light weapons and corresponding ammunition. In addition, they probably seized a large number of weapons and ammunition during the battle with the Japanese army, which at least could satisfy their needs.  their current needs.¡±

    Regarding Abanashank's answer, after looking through the list of supplies, Stalin shook his head and said: "Comrade Abanashank, you underestimate the ambition of us Chinese comrades."

    ¡°They want these materials not only to prove that they have a large arsenal in their hands, but also because they want to establish their own military industry under limited conditions and do not want to be too dependent on us.¡±

    Having said this, Stalin smiled and said: "Comrade Abanashank, how do you feel? You are the commander of the Far East Military Region and have the most say on this matter. Do you think we should give these supplies to  They? You should know the reason why I transferred you to the Far East Military Region to replace General Stern. I hope you can put forward your own ideas instead of being a submissive person to your superiors."

    In response to Stalin's rhetorical question, Abanashank said firmly: "Comrade Stalin, I think it should be given to them. As the commander of the Far East Military Region, I think we must help them become stronger so that they can hold back the Japanese army's heavy group.  , Only in this way can the risk of a full-scale war in the Far East be effectively reduced.¡±

    Regarding Abanashank's reply, Stalin did not answer him directly, but said: "Comrade Abanashank, what do you think of these Chinese comrades? Can they achieve the goals we want? In addition, can they  Can¡¯t we control it?¡±

    Stalin¡¯s question made Abanaschenko stunned for a moment, but he only hesitated for a moment and immediately said: ¡®Comrade Stalin, these Chinese comrades are all staunch anti-Japanese resisters and staunch communist fighters.  We should not deny their determination to resist Japan to the end.  But, Comrade Stalin, I don't think it is in our interest to control them directly.  "

    "If they can become people like Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang, it will be more beneficial to us to let them develop independently. This can avoid us from directly conflicting with the Japanese army. Unless you plan to expand the current battle in Nomenhan. But I  I don¡¯t think this is in the interests of the Soviet Union.¡±

    After listening to Abanashenk's answer, Stalin pondered for a while and then said: "You know, the Chinese comrades in Yan'an should have made contact with them. Their representatives in Moscow have proposed that we can help them establish a  Yan'an has land connections with Manchuria to transport people.What do you think about this point?  "

    Stalin asked questions one after another. Even though Abanashank was always known for his quick thinking, he still felt overwhelmed.  Regarding Stalin's question, as a simple soldier, Abanashank, who always looked at questions from a military perspective, knew that it would be difficult for him to answer clearly, so he simply said: "Comrade Stalin, as for what you said about Yan'an,  I have never had any contact with or understand Chinese comrades.¡±

    "I am a soldier, and as the commander of the Far Eastern Military District. Everything I do is to ensure the security of the great Soviet Far East. It is my duty to thwart all careerists at home and abroad who seek Soviet territory. As for the others, it is not my responsibility.  But I think everything we do should be done in the interests of the Soviet Union.¡±

    Abanashek¡¯s answer obviously satisfied Stalin.  As a fellow Transcaucasian, what he admires most about Abanashek is this.  A typical military style, being decisive and capable in doing things, never being sloppy.  He has never participated in political activities and has no ambitions.

    ¡°Otherwise, he would not have placed him in the Far East Military District, thousands of kilometers away from Moscow, to succeed the veteran General Stern as commander.  And less than a year after he was promoted to general, he was awarded the rank of general at the level of a first-class army group.

    Stalin picked up the list of supplies on his desk, read it attentively again, made a lot of changes on it, then handed it to General Abanashank and said: "Take this list."  Go to the Chief of General Staff, General Shaposhnikov, and the Chief of Ordnance, General Kulik, and ask them to help solve the needs of the Chinese comrades in the shortest possible time.¡±

    "Since they also proposed to use gold at a discount to purchase some supplies and equipment, then we will provide them with some discounts at the preferential prices given to them by the National Government. The weapons on the list will be purchased directly from the armory of your Far East Military Region.  And the People's Committee for National Defense will make up for you in the shortest possible time."

    "In addition, don't you have some captured weapons and equipment in the Far East Military Region's warehouse that the imperialists used to assist the White Army? Check them and give them all the ones with good performance. The rest will be destroyed on the spot. Someone in the province always calls me  The little report said that you want to be independent in the Far East Military Region."

    General Abanashek took the supply list submitted by Stalin and found that the twelve 37 anti-aircraft guns in the anti-aircraft weapons above had been crossed out, and the other party requested fifty Deshka 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns.  Changed to one hundred and twenty.  The base number of ammunition was changed from 200,000 rounds to 2 million rounds.  Twenty-four additional 120mm mortars were also given.  "

    Seeing the revised figures above, General Abanashank couldn't help but said in astonishment: "Comrade Stalin, these 120 Deshka anti-aircraft machine guns are almost the entire equipment number of the Far East Military Region, and even some of them need to be obtained from the Pacific Fleet.  If all of them are transferred to Chinese comrades, the infantry anti-aircraft firepower of the Far East Military Region will drop by a whole level.¡±

    Stalin shook his head and said: "You are right. As long as they get stronger as they fight, the risk of a large-scale war with Japanese imperialism in the Far East will be smaller. So using this weapon and equipment in exchange for peace in the Far East, even if  Temporary peace is acceptable. Don't worry, I will ask the comrades of the Ordnance Department to fill the gap for you as soon as possible. "

    "In addition, for those nickel-chromium alloy steels, seamless steel pipes and other materials that your Far East Military Region does not have, you ask the General Ordnance Department to call them directly from the inventory. After you go back, tell the Chinese comrades that they will still mainly rely on themselves for equipment in the future. Soviet  We will try our best to provide some necessary materials for military production.¡±

    "Don't stay in Moscow for a long time. Rush back immediately to solve the needs of the Chinese comrades as soon as possible. As for other supplies, General Kulik of the General Ordnance Department will transport them to you in the shortest possible time. As for the Chinese comrades,  You must solve the drawings and production technology of the weapons and equipment provided as soon as possible and send them to Moscow. "

    Having said this, Stalin blinked happily and said relaxedly: "It seems that our Chief of General Staff and Director of Artillery are very interested in these new weapons, so why don't we satisfy their curiosity?"
