Text Chapter 72 Betrayal by the Soviets

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Listening to Hopkins clearly mentioning the names of factories that are now top secret, although Yang Zhen didn't react on the surface, the anger in his heart became more and more intense. Steel plants, oil refineries, etc.  All equipment for chemical plants and non-ferrous metal smelting plants are purchased from the United States.

    A large number of American experts and technicians were hired to build these factories, and all workers were trained by highly paid teachers from the United States. It is not surprising that these Americans know everything about them, because in this regard,  The Americans cannot be kept secret.

    But the tank manufacturing plant, the automobile manufacturing plant, the aircraft manufacturing plant, and the synthetic ammonia plant that was all completed last month and just put into use were all exchanged from the Soviet Union. Not to mention that this person has never been here before.  Hopkins in China didn't know, and even Pearson, who was guest translating at this moment and had been in the Anti-Japanese League for a whole year, didn't know.

    In particular, most of the construction of the Anti-Japanese Alliance tank factory has been completed, the production line has been installed, and it can be put into production in a short time. However, due to the lack of experience in the construction of the aircraft factory and the delay in delivering equipment from the Soviet Union, the process is relatively lagging behind.

    Apart from the Anti-Japanese League itself, only the Soviets who sent some experts and engineering and technical personnel to participate in the construction knew about it. Now that Hopkins opened his mouth to come, it shows that he has a comprehensive grasp of these things, and being able to reveal these things to him  I am afraid there is no one else but the Soviets.

    If there are Soviet spies in the base area, Yang Zhen does not doubt it. Not to mention the original Northern Manchuria, even in the old Anti-Japanese League, the Soviet influence is not small. Many cadres have been trained in the Soviet Union.  People will not give up this opportunity and plant spies inside.

    But the Americans probably don't have this ability. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance wants to keep it secret from them, then they won't even know about it. There are Soviet spies in the base area, and there are Japanese spies who have not been cleared out because they were hidden too deeply.  Definitely.

    But the Americans are probably still blank in this regard. The CIA was just established in July this year. It is currently called the Intelligence Coordination Bureau. It is far from being as large an organization as later generations and has agents all over the world. The real intelligence agencies of the United States are  Development and growth occurred during World War II.

    The U.S. secret service agencies that became famous all over the world with American movies in later generations, whether it is the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services of the Department of Defense, or even the most mysterious National Security Agency, have no shadow at this time. Except for the FBI, most of them have  They are all scattered departments, or their own intelligence collection agencies belonging to the army and navy.

    As for the Intelligence Coordination Bureau, which only had two or three kittens at this time and did not even have a fixed office location, it simply had no ability to get ahead of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and plant a large number of nails in Manchukuo, which was under the strict control of the Japanese.  The focus of the navy's respective intelligence bureaus has never been on the North Manchuria region.

    The Americans had such a clear grasp of the industries being built by the Anti-Alliance. Apart from the Soviets, Yang Zhen didn¡¯t think there would be any other reasons for leaking these things. Although Pearson had a background in military intelligence, he didn¡¯t have that ability.  , was able to figure out these things so clearly within one year, under the strict confidentiality of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

    And what other reason could there be for the Soviets to do this? It was simply to dig out part or even most of the share of the Anti-Japanese Alliance for their own use, reduce the quota of materials and equipment obtained by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and increase their own capabilities.  The materials and equipment obtained were harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself. This was Yang Zhen's only evaluation of the Soviet Union's approach after he figured this out.

    This behavior of the Soviets made Yang Zhen feel betrayed and betrayed, but no matter how angry he was about this matter, after all, the Hopkins in front of him was not the Stilwell of yesterday. Not only could Yang Zhen not  If you have any anger, you can't even show too much dissatisfaction on your face.

    Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Zhen said to Hopkins, who did not show any complacency and seemed very calm after exposing the anti-Union background: "Mr. Hopkins, what are you talking about?"  That¡¯s right, but have you ever considered that our industries have just been built and are still far away from real output?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether the output after production can achieve our expected goals. It is purely a production problem. We lack qualified management talents, qualified technical personnel, and a strong industrial foundation accumulated over decades.  , even the necessary production workers need to be trained from scratch.¡±

    "Under such circumstances, even if the factory is put into production, the output will not reach the designed capacity all at once, and it may even be impossible to produce qualified products for a long period of time. A complete industry  A system is not just a building or?It is so easy to complete the construction of several factories.  "

    "What is needed is a large number of qualified technical workers and the support of a complete range of upstream and downstream supporting industries. But now, for us, all this is blank. We are building on a piece of white paper. In the face of a serious lack of supporting capabilities,  With a large number of qualified industrial workers, the improvement of productivity is bound to be a slow process. "

    "This steel plant with an annual output of 500,000 tons is put into operation. It may only be able to produce 100,000 tons or even less qualified steel within a year. Mr. Hopkins, we are talking about qualified steel that meets the requirements of your American steel plant.  Standard quality steel, not shoddy stuff.¡±

    "As the former Minister of Commerce of the largest industrial country in the world, Mr. Hopkins, you should know that it cannot be completed in a short time from the time a steel plant is put into operation until its production capacity meets the design standards and produces fully qualified products.  Yes, there is a strict difference between putting into production and actual production.¡±

    "There are also tank manufacturing plants, aircraft manufacturing plants, and truck manufacturing plants. It is true that we purchased these factories, corresponding production lines and equipment drawings from the Soviet Union through barter, but with the steel plant  The situation is similar. Once these factories are built, it does not mean that they can produce qualified products immediately. "

    "I have said before that China is an agricultural country. It does not have as many industrial workers as Western developed countries, and it does not have a solid foundation accumulated over a long period of time. In this vast and sparsely populated North Manchuria, under the strict blockade of the Japanese army, we  There is also a lack of a large number of technical personnel and qualified workers. Under this situation, even if our factories are completed, how much actual production capacity will they have. "

    "After the equipment is installed and the production line is debugged, it does not mean that qualified products can be produced. Perhaps our factories can only produce fifty tanks and thirty aircraft a year with substandard quality, and this production capacity is almost all  The number of battle losses cannot be met.¡±

    "Mr. Hopkins, although you are not a soldier, I think that in your capacity, you should be familiar with military issues. You should know that after a large-scale battle, the equipment lost will be astronomical.  Even if our factories are put into operation, their production capacity is quite limited, and it is impossible and impossible to meet the demand. "

    "What's more, these factories are still under infrastructure construction. All workers, including managers, are still being trained. They are still far away from being put into production. Even if they are actually put into production, they can produce qualified products.  , I don¡¯t know how long it will take yet.¡±

    "Let me tell you an example. The Japanese army has a Type 92 105 cannon with very excellent performance. We had captured this type of artillery the year before last. Since we lacked large-caliber artillery at that time, we immediately decided to start reverse mapping and imitation.  , three full years have passed, and we still have not succeeded in imitating it.¡±

    "The artillery that was barely produced not only had far less range, power and service life than the prototype cannon, but also experienced multiple explosions in the chamber, and even the rifling was polished after firing just a few rounds. Those imitation guns  The artillery simply didn¡¯t dare to be put into use.¡±

    "Mr. Hopkins, I am not deprecating myself, but telling the truth. You should know that it is an extremely long process for an agricultural country to transform into an industrial country. If it is placed in peacetime, we will naturally wait for this time.  But now we are in a cruel war, can the troops afford to wait?"

    "Will the Japanese wait for us to complete all industrial construction safely before attacking us? Will the war situation develop and give us time? Since the day the steel plant was built, the Japanese have organized large numbers of bombers many times.  "Bombing our industrial base. If you hadn't provided radar and fighter jets, I'm afraid this steel plant would have been in ruins by now."

    "The United States cannot allow us to assume responsibility, even the main responsibility for fighting Japan for a long period of time, and at the same time provide material and equipment assistance when our limited production capacity cannot meet its own needs.  The amount given makes it difficult for us to barely survive.¡±

    "If the United States really hopes that we can contain the Kwantung Army and even prevent most of the Japanese invaders from going south, then I hope that the United States can change its current attitude, because we cannot afford it until we get a sufficient amount of supplies and equipment.  With such a heavy burden, you Americans can't let the horse run and not let the horse eat grass at the same time."

    "Mr. Hopkins, although we know very well that this war is not only a global anti-fascist war, but also an anti-aggression war for our Chinese nation to fight for independence and freedom. We will not do it because of you Americans or British people.  When we join the war, we forget the responsibilities and obligations that our army should bear.¡±"With your American material assistance, we will fight to the end. Without your assistance, we will fight to the end just as well, but the time will be longer, the process will be more painful, and the price will be greater. The enemy is strong and we are strong.  Weak, this is the real situation we face in this war.¡±

    "If an agricultural country wants to defeat a modern industrial power, it is destined to pay a huge price, even unimaginable by you Americans, but we know that this is no choice for us, but in the end it is only our determination  , does not mean that we can really defeat Japan without external support."

    "Don't forget, we are fighting a modern industrial power. Without modern equipment, we cannot fundamentally defeat an enemy armed with aircraft, artillery, or even armed to the teeth without modern equipment, flesh and blood and courage alone. Once our blood is shed,  If we do, then only failure awaits us.¡±

    ¡°I hope that Mr. Hopkins and the United States will not doubt our determination and will to fight on, but I hope that the United States will be as equal as possible in the distribution of materials and equipment.  I think Mr. Hopkins should understand the consequences of defeat."
