The two-day trip to Guilin was a feast for Zhang Shusheng. After inspecting the helicopter's final test flight, he and Zhou Duanzheng went to the snail noodle shop opened by his old classmate and had a good meal.
If Zhang Shusheng had not become the country's top leader a few years ago, he might have gone straight to Liuzhou to try the most authentic snail noodles. But now, he can only try it in Guilin.
But what surprised him was that Zhou Duanzheng's old classmate not only ran a very authentic snail noodle business, but was also very good at Guilin's local rice noodles. In one meal, Zhang Shusheng tasted two delicacies, which was very satisfying.
Later, at the special invitation of the local government in Guangxi, Zhang Shusheng and Zhou Duanzheng, accompanied by the tourism director, visited Guilin and highly praised the booming tourism industry in Guilin. As
The improvement of living standards of residents in the Republic was originally limited to traditional
The said "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world" have now become a feast of scenery that ordinary people can enjoy. Because it was developed early, the industry is also developed, and it is close to the coast. The four major railways running from east to west, south and north converge in Guangxi, and it is close to the Chinese economy.
The tourism industry in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, one of the most developed provinces, has developed rapidly.[
As a result, when Zhang Shusheng left Guilin, he personally took four portions of snail noodles with him. The soup of the snail noodles was frozen into ice cubes, then put together with the wet noodles, packed into boxes, and placed in the refrigerator of Air Force One.
He was brought directly back to Hanking.
"Is it tasty?"
Zhang Shusheng personally cooked snail noodles for his two wives and Tantai, and then sat there, giving them some from his bowl from time to time, and then watched them eat happily. This was the first time for Tantai Luoyu to eat snail noodles.
, I immediately fell in love with the special taste. I happily ate the slightly spicy snail noodles, and sweat broke out on my forehead.
Tantai, who went to Tantai in the second grade of junior high school, is now a well-born and generous girl. Her hair is straight and simply tied with a ribbon without much modification. Even when eating, she looks calm and calm. There is a kind of
The beauty of tranquility.
"Daddy, you eat too."
When Tantai raised his head and looked at his godfather who was staring at him, he held up his chopsticks, picked up a U student and handed it to him. Zhang Shusheng was a little dazed. What a similar action to Tantai Jingming in his previous life.
The same is true, I always like to pick things from the bowl and feed him.
The face is almost identical, and even the hairstyle is the same. Zhang Shusheng still remembers that when he first met Tantai on campus, she was holding a book and her beautiful straight black hair was unforgettable.
This is basically a reduced version of Tantai Jingming.
"Perhaps, this is simply a relative of Jingming's ancestor."
Zhang Shusheng sighed secretly and looked back at his two wives who were engrossed in eating snail noodles with mixed expressions.
The next day, Zhang Shusheng suddenly remembered the battlefield observation team sent to the Soviet-German battlefield before, and asked Cai E, who came to report on the situation, about the situation.
"Although our observation team is on the front line, the German attack went smoothly, so there are currently no reports of casualties. Recently, the Soviet Union and Germany are making the largest war preparations since the war began, and it is expected that an unprecedented general battle will soon begin.
.”
When talking about the Soviet-German War, Cai E talked endlessly. As the Minister of Defense, he naturally knew everything about these two enemies who were fighting fiercely in Europe. Every day, just the information forwarded by the Special Intelligence Department and sent back by the military observation group
He had to read several reports.
Zhang Shusheng nodded. Counting from him as chairman of the committee, the top management almost all have a common understanding. Regarding the outcome of the Soviet-German war, China will have differences with them sooner or later. They should take the opportunity to learn more about their opponents for future use.
"Put this battlefield assessment report down first, and I will study it carefully later."
As soon as the Soviet-German war in Europe was mentioned, Zhang Shusheng couldn't concentrate on the report about the Soviet Union's desire to increase military trade with the Soviet Union. At almost the same time, the Germans sent a report asking China to cut off ties with the Soviet Union.
trade relations.
Thinking about the thrilling war scenes on the Soviet-German battlefield, Zhang Shusheng could not help but walk into the basement several times, get into his own Dream single-soldier mecha, and then fly directly to the Soviet-German battlefield.
Become a secret observer. But after thinking about it, I still gave up. It’s okay to drive this thing around in China. If you are unlucky enough to step on dog poop, expose it early and don’t scare Su De into thinking that aliens are attacking.
A ceasefire would be bad.
What Zhang Shusheng needs is to improve the overall strength of the Republic, not to show off for a short time.
This individual mecha, which I redeemed from the Dream Machine with 10,000 Dream Points when the national system was launched, was manufactured by the Level 2 Universe Nation Civilization.[
According to the description of the Dreamer, the earth is currently still in the intermediate form of a first-class space country. Of course, according to its probability calculation, with the current crazy development speed of the Republic, and taking into account human factors, the Republic will soon enter the state of the universe.
The advanced form of the first-level cosmic country civilization.
Of course, Zhang Shusheng also knew that this was said very quickly, at least ten years later. You must know that in history, the first time humans went into space was in 1961. The first satellite was also launched in 1957.
Something happened.
With the current scientific research strength of the Republic, the rocket has been successfully developed. It is currently focusing on the research and development of new materials and new electronic equipment, improving the weight and safety of the rocket, further research and strengthening sounding technology, and developing practical sounding satellites. According to Zhang Shusheng
According to the latest report of the head of state that he read, it would take at least the first half of 1942 for the Republic to successfully develop the first test satellite, and the fastest test satellite would not be until the end of 1942, or even 1943.
.
The development of the space industry cannot be rushed. Even with heavy investment, development is still slow. Zhang Shusheng also knows that China has foresighted and prioritized key development. It is already a huge success to be able to test satellites more than ten years in advance.
Although Fa went to Germany, Zhang Shusheng still ordered the transfer of the most recent issues of field observation team reports on the Soviet-German war, and read them carefully...
In September 2008, after the start of a new round of German offensives, although the Soviets temporarily ended their large-scale retreat, the price they paid was that large numbers of troops were surrounded and annihilated.
What slowed down the German offensive was not the heroic resistance of the Soviets, but the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army troops in the encirclement. Under the combination of deep penetration tactics and armored lightning assault tactics, large numbers of Soviet Red Army troops had not yet fully
When he came to his senses, he was already surrounded by German armored units and army groups.
The Soviets not only exchanged space for some time, but also exchanged the Soviet Red Army in these encirclement circles for some shameful buffer time.
Since the outbreak of the war, the orders given by the Soviet Red Army on the entire battlefield were to resolutely counterattack at first. Only after suffering huge losses did the Soviet top leaders react. At this time, the order given was to stand firm and resist in order to resist and destroy the attacking German troops.
After discovering that multiple Soviet Red Army groups were surrounded, the order they received was to wait for reinforcements and try to delay or eliminate more Germans before reinforcements arrived.
But when the war reached this point, Stalin never thought about rescuing the Soviet Red Army who were surrounded by heavy German troops. He needed to consider how to defend an important city like Leningrad. In a vast land, with a big city
As the center was guarded, and these cities were forced to be captured by the Germans, the Soviets stationed heavy troops in the cities. Even if the Germans wanted to bypass them, they would have to eliminate these large numbers of troops in the cities first.
The whole month of September was extremely important for both the Soviet Union and Germany. Compared with the Japanese offensive in the Far East, Stalin only bothered to read the battle reports, and the war on the Eastern Front was what he was most worried about.
After the German army occupied Minsk, an important town in the western part of the Soviet Union, in July, after fierce fighting, the Central Army of the three-pronged army captured Husmolensk, the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow, encircled 17 Soviet Red Army divisions, and cut off the last line of defense in the western Soviet Union.
Important trunk lines
Sk-Moscow Highway. The German army set up the headquarters of Army Group Center here because the German army was only 380 kilometers away from Moscow at this time. However, the Germans were not busy attacking Moscow, but divided their forces to attack Kiev in an attempt to occupy
Ukraine.
This arduous battle started in midsummer and lasted until autumn before the outcome was determined. Six armies of the two Red Army fronts deployed by the Soviet Union in the direction of Kiev were surrounded. The final loss was more than 600,000 people.
Being surrounded and annihilated, the Soviet Union suffered its greatest losses since the war began.
However, this seemingly unprecedented victory provided enough time for the Soviet Union to mobilize troops to defend important towns such as Moscow. Large numbers of Soviet Red Army troops withdrew from the front lines and entered the city. At the same time, more newly formed Red Army divisions were deployed day and night.
They kept driving from the rear to the front line, preparing to fight the German army in several major towns. When the German army won the victory in the direction of Kiev, Soviet cities, including the capital Moscow, were already beginning to be fortified. The German offensive would
Encountered unprecedented resistance.
The Battle of Moscow has not yet begun, but the German Army Group Northern has completely occupied Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, entered the suburbs of Leningrad, and combined with the Finnish army to completely blockade Leningrad
As the autumn offensive deepened, the decline of the German army began to appear. However, the Soviets relied on their strong national power, vast territorial strategic depth, and rapid troop mobilization to gradually recover. Even in a two-front battle, they still showed their weakness.
The arrogance of a giant. A steady stream of Soviet youths were armed, and some even took stock weapons from the October Revolution and began to rush to the Eastern Front and the Far East respectively.
"This is a great defense war. The Soviet Union will surely usher in the greatest victory. The Germans and Japanese will suffer unprecedented punishment. The great Bolsheviks are invincible."
This was Stalin's huge speech at the Red Square military parade. The waving arms seemed to tell the people of Moscow that the Soviet Union was sure of victory.
And actually...
The German offensive had not yet begun, but Stalin had already signed an order for the emergency evacuation of the top Soviet military and political leaders during the war if conditions were unfavorable.
At this time, the leading troops of the German army had arrived in the town of Kaleryo, less than 40 kilometers away from Leningrad.
The fire that burned all night long had burned the town beyond recognition. There were German troops running through groups everywhere. The victory of the battle made the soldiers shout powerful slogans, and the kettles they wore were constantly clashing with guns or guns.
Other things were clanging. Occasionally, tanks or armored vehicles rumbled past. These were armored units that the German army had just finished repairing and were about to participate in the next battle.[
"Chi~"
On the road leading to Leningrad, passing through the town of Kaleryo, a jeep emerged from the town and finally found an open space at a wide intersection and stopped.
There were four people sitting in the jeep, a German driver, a Chinese translator, and two yellow-skinned Chinese officers wearing German Nazi uniforms.
"Let's go down for a walk. You can wait for us in the car." A younger Chinese military officer jumped out of the jeep and then turned back to the translator who was about to get out of the car.
Seeing both of them jumping out of the car, the translator had no choice but to warn: "Lieutenant Colonel Hou, Lieutenant He, you must bring your identity documents, otherwise, you may get into unnecessary trouble."
The two waved their hands and walked to the side of the town. Looking at the busy schedule of the German army, they casually took out the Chinese cigarettes from their bags and started talking while taking out the cigarettes.
"Battal Commander, you said that the Germans are really beaten to death. The attack speed is so fast that even our jeeps can't catch up with their vanguard. Even if they are riding in armored vehicles, this battle still has to be fought, right? The Soviet Union
The Red Army is really useless." Lieutenant He pointed into the distance and discovered something.
The brigade slowly walked towards the town. Although these people were also wearing military uniforms, they had their hands raised. They were obviously prisoners. "I heard that after the battle last night, a division of the Red Army was rushed behind by tanks and surrounded in a circle.
I caught the dumplings, look at this posture, not long after the day dawned, I have already caught a lot."
The Lieutenant Colonel Hou took two deep puffs of his cigarette, then exhaled a large puff of smoke, and then said comfortably, "Your son went to bed early last night. After the regiment leader came back from the German cocktail party, he said that there were several more people at midnight."
The Soviet divisions were surrounded before they could retreat to Leningrad. The Germans' appetite was probably overstretched, and no fewer than dozens of divisions were captured along the way. This was the time when combat effectiveness was at its strongest."
Looking around, the German troops passing by in groups did not hold their heads high, as if they were not going to participate in the battle, but to capture the exhausted Soviets.
Occasionally, a car or a group of trucks drove back from the front, which would cause huge cheers from them. Even the commander of the group did not stop them, because those who retreated were troops who had just participated in the night.
To be continued...
