Chapter 3159 American Aspirations
I have to admit that under the Soviet system, at least during this period of time, the Soviet Russians were quite cohesive and willing to endure hardships.The continuous bombing of the Chinese Far East Army with missiles and fighter planes certainly made the Soviets feel great pressure, but the Soviets did not give in.If it is daytime, the Chinese pilots on the bombing mission can always see groups of Soviet Russians next to the damaged railway somewhere. These Soviet Russians are holding crude tools and spontaneously throwing themselves into the railway maintenance work. Even if they know that the railway they just repaired today will be blown up again tomorrow, they will not hesitate.

What the innocent young Chinese pilots didn't know was that the scenes they saw of the Soviet Russians desperately rushing to repair the railway were actually man-made. More still had to do it due to pressure from the military.As for why Zhukov did this, it is very simple. He actually wanted to test the bottom line of the Chinese soldiers through this move, and hoped to find a way to counter the unlimited bombing of the Chinese army.

"Soviet Russians dispatched civilians to repair the railway?" Just after receiving the report from the air force, Zhang Zizhong also felt very embarrassed.As a traditional soldier, Zhang Zizhong certainly cannot accept firing at civilians, even civilians in hostile countries.However, he also realized the problem behind it. If the Soviets used civilians to occupy the railway line, would they give up destroying the Siberian Railway? "What do you think about this matter?" He thought hard for a long time and couldn't think of a solution, so he could only ask Yu Xuezhong and Jiang Tiezhang for advice.

Yu Xuezhong and Jiang Tiezhang also felt very embarrassed.However, Jiang Tiezhang was young after all, and his brain turned quickly. He quickly came up with a solution: "I think we can distribute leaflets to those Soviet civilians to persuade them to leave. If they don't listen, they can only be expelled violently." .After all, China and the Soviet Union are now hostile countries, as long as they are Soviet Russians, they are our enemies by nature. To deal with the enemy, we have done everything we can! "

Yu Xuezhong: "This is a good way, even if it is spread internationally, there will be an explanation."

The strategy was established, and Empress Zhuang followed the orders. When Zhukov was reported to Zhukov about the fact that the Chinese warplanes were distributing leaflets to the Soviet people, he knew that his little trick had failed again.Zhukov was also a bachelor, and before the Chinese fighter planes bombed those civilians, he asked the local governments to take them back.

The armies of China and the Soviet Union started a battle around the Soviet-Russian Siberian Railway. As time passed, due to the delay in the arrival of supplies from the rear, Zhukov not only failed to organize an effective offensive, but also had to order the Southwest Front Army, The Northwest Front Army withdrew from the Far East to eat in the rear, leaving only the Far East Front Army in case the Chinese Far East Army went further.

This round of fighting between China and the Soviet Union around Lake Baikal in the Far East ended in an anticlimax, and there were signs of unsustainability. This is not what the Americans and the Japanese want to see.When the news reached Washington, Truman couldn't sit still.He immediately called a meeting of generals and officials to discuss how to help Soviet Russia continue to fight the Chinese in the Far East.

With the Philippines as a base, the Americans tried their best to take back several islands in the Pacific Ocean that originally belonged to the United States. To form a deterrent to those islands, it is impossible to launch an effective battle to seize the islands.At this time, whether the Soviet Russians can force the Chinese to invest in the main force in the Far East is too important to the United States.

"General Nimitz said that it will take at least half a year for the Pacific Fleet to recover. This half year will be a dark period for the United States. Without the help of a powerful navy, it is impossible for us to launch an effective battle to seize the island. If the Chinese are at this time South Asia is stepping up its offensive. I think we may not even be able to defend the Philippines. Therefore, we need the Soviets to help us contain the Chinese in the Far East. However, because of the destruction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Soviets cannot maintain the front line in the Far East at all. Let’s talk about the big corps fighting, we need to do something to help the Soviet Russians continue to maintain pressure on the Chinese in the Far East.”

During this time, Truman was busy dealing with those big capitalists all day long, and what he thought about every day was how to spend more money from these capitalists' pockets for armaments.Those big capitalists are easy to deal with. The result of frequent bargaining is that Truman cannot get enough rest every day, which makes him look very haggard, as if he has aged ten years all of a sudden.

"The Chinese have deployed the most elite troops in the Far East, including the strategic missile force. According to the information we have, the Soviets and Russians have problems with their logistics and supply systems because the Chinese used missiles to destroy their Trans-Siberian Railway. Therefore, if we want the Soviets to continue to put pressure on the Chinese in the Far East, we must first help them solve the supply problem. The Far East is too far away from Moscow. If the railway is excluded, this kind of long-distance supply can only be Depends on airlift. Mr. President, I think maybe we can support the Russians with some heavy transport aircraft," said Marshall, now the US Secretary of Defense.

The so-called heavy transport aircraft is actually an improved version of the Sky Fortress.However, because this space-time air fortress was first manufactured by China, the number of air fortresses in the hands of the Americans is limited, which is not enough to become a deterrent force.

"Heavy transport aircraft? We don't have enough for ourselves now. How much can we support the Soviets? With the combat power of the Soviets, if they want to pose a threat to the Chinese, they need at least one million troops. Millions of troops, then How many heavy transport aircraft can guarantee logistics?" Secretary of the Army Stimson asked with a frown.

"If the railway doesn't work, you can only rely on air power. I think this is a good suggestion. But I have a question, are the Soviets worthy of our trust? What if they get our reinforcements but don't send more troops to the Far East? What to do? I heard that the Soviets only deployed 50 troops in the Far East, and not all of them were on the front line, otherwise, the Chinese would not dare to take the initiative to launch an offensive," Secretary of the Navy Knox continued.

"How about phased support? Give ten or twenty first, and then give another twenty after the Soviets send troops to the front line. Or, let us deliver supplies to the Soviets directly?" Marshall thought for a while and said. .

Truman fell silent. "Are the Soviets trustworthy?" Knox's words reminded him that his current situation is already very bad. If he is tricked by the Soviets to steal dozens of heavy transport aircraft, he has to worry that his presidential career will be ruined. That's it.
