Chapter 366 Worst Situation (Part 1)

What's more, the Tsarist Russian Navy, which had an absolute advantage back then, was defeated by the Japanese-Russia naval battle. In addition, the size and hull equipment of the Soviet Navy are indeed far from the opponent of the Imperial Japanese Navy, so the main force of the Japanese wing fleet patrolling Vladivostok still scared Stalin.

Stalin shuddered by the huge fleet of four aircraft carriers, six battleships, thirty-seven cruisers and more than fifty destroyers under the main force of the Japanese Joint Fleet. The Japanese Empire's army might be despised or even ignored, but the Japanese Empire's navy had a deterrent force that shocked the entire Soviet Union.

Obviously, the Japanese have fallen into an inexplicable madness, and the main power and energy of the Soviet Union were concentrated in Europe. Germany's increasing strength has made the Soviet Union and the entire Europe feel uneasy, and the appeasement of Britain and France has also developed to an unprecedented level. It can be said that the German jackal light tanks, Black Panther medium tanks, Tiger heavy tanks, BF-109g fighter, German Scartu attack aircraft, four-engine fortress bombers, new field heavy howitzers, a large amount of rare metals and tungsten ore imported from China have increased the power of the German war machines. These new weapons shocked Britain and France, and even the Soviet Union, who cooperated with the Rehe side, was also shocked.

The Soviet Union thought that the advanced tank design seemed to be lagging behind before it was produced. The design drawings of the new tank provided by Zhang Xuewu seemed to be able to fight against the mysterious Tiger heavy tanks. The Soviet Union was already lagging too much in the air force. If it were not for helping the Rehe side to produce fortress heavy bombers, the Soviet Union would not have long-range heavy bombers technology now! Moreover, the design of the combat fortress obtained by the Soviet Union did not include sealed high-pressure chambers. All combat fortress heavy bombers were secretly installed after returning to Baotou.

Therefore, the Japanese hysterical fear made Stalin scared, because although the Soviet Union carried out a five-year plan to develop, it was still unable to deal with the world's largest naval fleet and joint fleet established by the Japanese since the Meiji Restoration! Since Japan's long and difficult Washington negotiations in 1933, the Japanese finally withdrew from the Washington system. After four years of gold development, the Japanese Empire's navy had developed it for four years. Its largest battleship Yamato and sister ship Musashi were also decided to build during this period. The Soviet Navy had basically not developed through the Soviet Union's continuous anti-counterrevolution and suppression of rebellion. Its warships were basically old antiques from the Tsarist Russian period. Just like the Beiyang Fleet that was wiped out in the past, the Russians only added 100,000 tons of light cruisers and destroyers in the entire navy in more than 30 years after the violent revolution. Compared with the Japanese Imperial Navy, it was not an opponent at the same strategic level.

Stalin summoned Navy Commander General Lotzov in his luxurious office in the Kremlin. Stalin wore his favorite white military uniform and the Order of the Supreme Soviet Marshal. Stalin, who was biting his pipe, looked at Lotzov and signaled to let Lotzov sit opposite him.

Faced with the horror after the Great Purge, Major General Lotzov, who was originally the chief of staff of the First Squadron of the Soviet Navy, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy within two years. What made Lotzov even more terrifying was that before him, sixty-seven lieutenant generals, generals, and marshals were killed in just two years. Lotzov knew that his qualifications and abilities could not control the Soviet Navy, but he had been pushed to this position.

Facing Stalin's inquiry, Lotzov hesitated and said repeatedly: "The great Comrade Stalin, judging from the actual situation of the Soviet Navy, we are relatively behind the Japanese Empire in terms of ship equipment, but the brave Red Army naval officers and soldiers of the Soviet Union will carry forward the spirit of fighting against one hundred. If the enemy dares to attack, we will defeat them, completely defeat them, and land on Japan!"

Stalin looked at Lotzov, and Lotzov's answer made him very satisfied. The Soviet Union's secret military delegation had already gone to Germany. Stalin must solve the problem of Finland, the Soviet Union's confidant, and so the Soviet Union must reach an agreement with the Germans. Hitler gave Stalin the impression that he was a very capable extreme nationalist. It would be very difficult to deal with such a guy once he got crazy.

The powerful German Stalin has been verified from the information provided by Zhang Xuewu, especially rocket technology. Stalin has almost concentrated relevant experts from the entire Soviet Union, but the research progress is still very slow. According to the experts of relevant professionals, if it takes at least two or three years to thoroughly absorb and improve these technologies, it means that the Germans have come to the forefront of the great Soviet Union, which Stalin cannot tolerate. If Germany's military strength has allowed Britain, France and other countries to implement appeasement policies, then the Soviet Union should not be enemies with Germany.

Moreover, Stalin believed that if he was in peace with Germany, then the Soviet Union would need more strategic buffer space. Finland was already regarded by Stalin as a meal on the plate, and Stalin looked at Poland! Dividing Poland with the Germans, Britain and France were at most spitting at themselves. The selfish British, rebellious French, and lonely and paranoid Americans could not stop the rise of the Germans. Just as Zhang Xuewu did not take care of and protected by the Soviet Union, Stalin could be sure that Zhang Xuewu was a difficult guy as hard as Zhang Zuolin, even if you want anything you gave him, but there was no way to get a single inch of land! For the sake of land, you can fight all your strength and blood flow into a river. Such an unreasonable opponent Stalin very disliked.

Now the Japanese combined fleet has demonstrated to the Soviet Union. The Germans have obviously abandoned China and have instead reached some secret agreements with Japan. Now few German materials have arrived at Dingyuan Camp in Suiyuan through the Soviet Union, and more materials have been transported from Las Vegas in the United States to the Soviet Union by sea and arrived in the Far East.

Stalin was also very curious about what kind of holy spirit Zhang Xuewu's foreign aid was? He could actually support such a large military organization with the power of a mysterious organization? Stalin also developed a certain interest in this mysterious organization in China that was rich and powerful, but this organization was obviously not within the reach of his power. Moreover, Stalin doubted whether Zhang Xuewu obeyed the mysterious organization behind the scenes? Or was Zhang Xuewu the person in charge of this mysterious organization?
