    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at Kovalev with a serious expression and said: "Without external channels, we can barely maintain ourselves by relying on our current reserves and our own current production capacity. But without the support of food, we may not be able to survive."  We can¡¯t survive this year. Are you sure that the weather will be smooth and there won¡¯t be any disasters? What¡¯s more, we are still in a war period.¡±

    "Comrade Kovalev, as the person in charge of the tens of thousands of tons of grain that we urgently imported from you after the war last autumn, you should be aware of it. Why was the grain imported at that time? Isn't it because the main grain production in the base area at that time was  Tangyuan District was almost razed to the ground by the war, and all the grain reserves and the immature crops in the fields were lost in the war? "

    "Even if the weather is good this year and there are no droughts or floods, who knows whether we will have one? You know, in many cases, the losses will be greater than those caused by natural disasters. Comrade Kovalev, you know that our relationship with the Japanese army  The current situation of small fights and no large-scale operations cannot last long. "

    "It's not just you, even we don't know whether the next battle will be fought in our base area or in the enemy-occupied area. And once the war breaks out in the base area, can you say that you are sure to control the war to a certain extent?  On a large scale? I don¡¯t think I have this ability, and I¡¯m afraid even you don¡¯t have this ability, right?

    "Your Far East Military Region is the main military region that confronts the Japanese army. I think you should be very clear about the strategic intentions of the Japanese army. The Japanese army has always claimed that Manchuria and Mongolia are their lifeline. You think they will allow our current situation to continue for a long time, and  Don¡¯t you want to invade the North in a big way?¡±

    "If the war burns in the base area, it may mean that at least most of this year's harvest will be destroyed. Comrade Kovalev, you should know the consequences of doing so. So Comrade Kovalev, we have  A certain amount of food reserves are still extremely necessary, and we simply cannot meet the minimum standards of reserves required by you. "

    "Although China is an agricultural country, its agriculture is still in a relatively closed environment of self-sufficiency. Almost all farming methods are still quite backward. Most areas still rely on the weather for food. Almost all of you are already here.  Mechanized agriculture is simply incomparable, and food production in most areas is not high due to lack of chemical fertilizers.¡±

    "After we established the Production and Construction Corps, we purchased the agricultural mechanization equipment manufactured by you, which improved the agricultural production conditions in the base area to a certain extent. However, due to the oil problem and the overall number of agricultural mechanization equipment, the overall number of agricultural mechanization equipment was not large.  There is a lack of necessary chemical fertilizers, and the output of agricultural products is barely enough.¡±

    "And Kovalev, given the nature of your work, I think you will have an understanding of the situation in the entire Northeast. You should know that the main grain-producing areas in the entire Northeast are concentrated in southern Manchuria, especially the Jilin area in the center. North  The proportion of full arable land and agricultural population in the entire Northeast is not high, and it is difficult for us to accept it."

    "You have heard of a saying in China that says, "You can only use two boats." But there is also a saying in China that goes before the troops move, food and grass go first. If there is no food in the army, the morale of the army will be unstable. Without food, what can we do?  Maintain the stability of the troops. Maintain the morale and morale of the troops, as well as the morale of the people in the base area? We are going to fall. I am afraid that your situation will be more serious in the future. Comrade Kovalev, there are some things that cannot be done by patting your head.  of."

    Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Kovalev shook his head and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, our figure is based on detailed calculations of your total grain output and consumption last year. This number is not important to you every year.  It¡¯s not an unbearable burden.¡±

    "As far as I know, not counting corn and other agricultural products last autumn, the wheat output of your so-called Production and Construction Corps alone was about 270,000 tons. And as your base area expands, the output of grain is still increasing. According to  As far as I know, Qiqihar, Yilan, Acheng, and Bayan are all one of the main grain producing areas in northern Manchuria.

    "And because you made rapid progress in last year's battle, except for parts of Yilan and Ning'an, the rest of the areas were not affected by the war. Although these areas are not the main wheat-producing areas, the output of corn, soybeans and sorghum is still  It¡¯s huge. Judging from the annual grain output in your actual control area, it is still affordable for you to provide 150,000 tons of wheat.¡±

    "Furthermore, there is a large amount of uncultivated arable land in Northern Manchuria, and the land is extremely fertile, with almost no guarantee of harvest due to drought or flood. As long as it is cultivated, this little food is nothing. Moscow has promised that as long as you agree to this agreement, we will  We will provide you with 200 combine harvesters and 500 tractors free of charge before the holiday.¡±

      ¡°And we will send 200 agricultural and water conservancy experts to assist you in reclaiming wasteland in Northern Manchuria. And when selecting this year¡¯s international students, we will give you an additional 200 agricultural students. Comrade Yang Zhen, I want these  The conditions are already favorable enough, but you must also agree to increase the food supply year by year when the conditions are mature.¡±

    "Comrade Yang Zhen, as far as I know, not counting your newly recovered areas, the production and construction corps he established after your autumn campaign the year before last year reclaimed hundreds of wastelands in Jiamusi, Fujin, Suibin, and Tongjiang.  Thousands of acres. The grain output of these newly cultivated lands is hundreds of thousands of tons, which is still affordable for you."

    Having said this, Kovalev raised his head and looked at the expressionless Yang Zhen and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, as an old friend, I advise you to agree to this agreement, which will be of great benefit to you. At this time, Moscow was angry  And the Military Commission of the Far East Military Region is not of much benefit to you."

    "This year is a crucial year for you. If the external access is cut off, all your construction will come to a standstill. You must know that in addition to cement, wood, sand and gravel, all your infrastructure materials need  Import from us.¡±

    "Without our technical and material support, you can't do anything. Needless to say, if we stop the supply of steel bars, all your infrastructure will stop. And once Moscow is angered, withdraw the troops we sent to you.  Rail and bridge experts here, your existing rail system will all be paralyzed."

    Regarding Kovalev's words, Yang Zhen frowned and said: "Comrade Kovalev, I can think that these words of yours are you or your boss threatening me or a final warning to me? If we  If we don¡¯t do what you said, you will stop exporting supplies to us and withdraw all support?¡±

    Although Yang Zhen¡¯s tone when he said these words was not harsh, the sharp look he looked over made Kovalev couldn¡¯t help but be excited.  Kovalev, who was made uncomfortable by Yang Zhen's sharp eyes, quickly said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, this is not my last warning to you."

    "What I said to you today is just advice to you as an old friend. I hope you will consider clearly the consequences of offending Moscow and whether you can bear it now. Comrade Yang Zhen, I just don't want you to lose  This is a rare development opportunity.¡±

    Hearing Kovalev¡¯s explanation, Yang Zhen¡¯s eyes softened a little.  But he understood that these words coming out of Kovalev's mouth probably meant more than just his personal meaning.  Perhaps what follows is indeed out of concern for him as an old friend.  But anyone could hear the warning contained in the previous words.

    Although Yang Zhen was quite bored with this threat from Jiangbei.  But there is no doubt that what Kovalev said is correct, and he cannot afford to offend them now.  But the contract for 150,000 tons of wheat is currently difficult for the base area to afford.

    What Kovalev said is correct. The current grain output in the base area is not small.  Especially after the implementation of the Production and Construction Corps system and large-scale use of mechanization, grain output increased steadily.  At present, there is almost no soil erosion, and there has not been a lot of land reclamation, let alone the use of chemical fertilizers. The black soil in Northeast China is too fertile.  As long as there is no particularly large natural disaster, the harvest will almost be guaranteed due to drought or flood.

    In addition, except for a small amount of planting in the base area, almost all the land has been converted to high-yielding corn and wheat.  For millet and sorghum, which have relatively low yields, the sown area has been significantly reduced.  As a result, the total grain production has increased significantly.

    ¡°In addition, the weather in the base area was good last year and we did not suffer any disasters.  Moreover, the war was mainly in enemy-occupied areas, and the interior of the base area was not damaged by the war. The grain output was indeed sufficient for the current needs.  Just the food production of the Production and Construction Corps last year, in addition to supplying the troops, can also meet the needs of all the people in the current base area.  You can even maintain a certain reserve.

    As Kovalev said, the supply of 150,000 tons of wheat is not unaffordable.  However, according to the local agricultural products, the overall output of fine grains, mainly wheat, is not high for some reasons.  As the main force in grain production, the main grain products produced by the Production and Construction Corps throughout the year are mainly corn and soybeans with large yields.

    Especially the main agricultural products that were exchanged with Jiangbei before. The output of soybeans that Jiangbei asked for last year was quite large.  The total sown area is second only to corn and wheat.  After all, as the main exchange object last year, the demand for soybeans is still quite large.

    However, compared with refined grains, coarse grains have different nutritional value.  However, the nutrition of whole grains is still not comparable to that ofCompared with fine grains.  There are also children, the elderly and the wounded in the base area who need nutrition and need fine grains to supplement their nutrition.  Supplying all coarse grains is not good for the morale of the people and the military.

    Although it will not be too much of a burden to produce 150,000 tons of wheat a year.  But this number already exceeds half of the total wheat production in the base area, and is equivalent to 70% of the wheat production of the entire Production and Construction Corps last year.  Moreover, once the current 150,000 tons of wheat are taken out, the wheat reserves in the entire base area will be empty
