I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 886 Stop dreaming
Although George did not want to fight a war of attrition with the Germans, for Russia, a war of attrition was the best and only option.

Even if there were 550 million pigs, it would take the Russian army several months to capture them.

The German army's blitzkrieg was taught by Russia. Both sides knew exactly what to attack first and how to attack.

George didn't take the German tank engines seriously.

No matter how advanced the German tank engines are, if production cannot keep up, they will sooner or later be overwhelmed by the Russian tanks. Even if they have advantages in local battlefields, they cannot change the overall form of the war.

Compared with the armored vehicles, the German rockets were more unexpected to George.

This is actually not surprising.

Before the United States brought more than 1600 German scientists back to the United States through Operation Paperclip, Germany's scientific and technological strength was very strong, second only to Russia in the world.

The reason why Russia's performance in rockets is not as good as Germany's is that in addition to rockets, Russia has invested more resources in people's livelihood, such as automobiles, household appliances, etc.

The mustache regards rockets as a secret weapon to defeat Russia and has invested a lot of resources in their development. The progress is faster than that of Russia, and George can accept it.

Compared with Germany, although the performance of Russian rockets is slightly behind, its advantage is still large quantity and sufficient supply.

In the first week of the war, Germany frequently used rockets to attack important military facilities in Russia, which gave George a headache for a while.

By the second week, the number of rockets fired by the German army had dropped from more than 300 per day in the first week to less than 200 per day.

Russia, however, has increased its daily production from less than 200 missiles to 250.

This is different from Germany's focus on attacking Russian military targets.

Russia's targets are not limited to German military facilities. Germany's factories, hospitals, train stations, airports, and even key transportation facilities such as railways and highways are included in the Russian army's attack range.

While competing with Germany in attrition, George issued a warning to European companies, especially French companies.

Although France was quickly surpassed by Germany, in terms of industrial capacity alone, France is second only to Germany in the current German system.

After France surrendered, a large number of French companies, represented by the Renault factory, were requisitioned by the German army to produce weapons and equipment for the German army.

George reminded Renault that being an accomplice to the evil will lead to backlash.

Even if it did not suffer backlash from Germany, it would certainly not escape the reckoning of post-war Russia.

George also reminded the vassal states conquered by Germany that there is no forgiveness in the Russian dictionary, only blood debt must be paid with blood.

"Aren't you worried that this might backfire?"

Vasily reminded George that the wording should be appropriate.

Even if Russia wanted to settle accounts after the war, it could not make it public so brazenly.

Now that George has said so, it is possible that centrists like Pétain will be pushed completely towards Germany.

Compared to George, the French are truly unscrupulous.

After France surrendered, Pétain established a new government in the small town of Vichy, which was known as Vichy France.

After Charles de Gaulle fled to North Africa, he continued to hold high the French flag and confront Germany, which was the Free France.

The Vichy French court tried Charles de Gaulle in absentia on charges of "treason" and sentenced him to death.

Pétain then issued a pardon for Charles de Gaulle in the name of the French President, pardoning Charles de Gaulle from the death penalty.

Like the Vichy government, the Free France led by Charles de Gaulle also tried Pétain in absentia on the grounds of "treason" and sentenced him to death.

Subsequently, Charles de Gaulle, in the name of the President of Free France, pardoned Pétain's death sentence.

See how others play.

I'm too lazy to even act.

This is the current situation. The old order has completely collapsed, just like after the end of the last world war. After the war, a new order will definitely be established.

George hoped that this time, the headquarters of the United Nations would be in Constantinople.

Rather than in New York, far away from Eurasia.

The United States under Roosevelt Jr., after the outbreak of World War I, became more divided than the previous time.

In March 39, after the German army entered Prague, the US Deputy Secretary of State condemned Germany's "unbridled lawlessness" and "tyranny" on behalf of the President.

Seems fair, doesn't it?

But don't rush yet.

After the outbreak of the German-Polish War, Roosevelt Jr. issued a formal declaration of neutrality and implemented neutrality laws.

Then, at a special meeting of the U.S. Congress on September 9, Roosevelt used the embargo policy that had brought disaster to the United States to persuade Congress to abolish the embargo clauses.

After heated debate in Congress, the United States passed the Neutrality Act Amendment, abolished the embargo clauses, and implemented the principle of buy-now-and-carry, that is, purchase with cash and arrange transportation by oneself.

Strictly abiding by the Neutrality Act meant that no supplies could be sold to warring countries.

After the amendment is introduced, the United States can legally and reasonably make huge profits from the war.

In order to make the US's actions more just, after France surrendered, in order to keep the fight in Europe going, the US began to provide loans to Britain so that Britain could purchase weapons and equipment in the United States.

Last September, the London air battle entered a critical moment. The United States and the United Kingdom signed an agreement, in which the United States would transfer 9 destroyers to the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom would lease some naval bases to the United States.

George didn't care when or how the Americans left the court.

It was basically impossible to divide the country with Russia and rule it separately as in another time and space. What George did not expect was that while Russia and Germany were fighting fiercely, the Japanese also came to join in the fun.

After breaking away from the Russian alliance, Japan completely threw itself into the arms of Britain and the United States.

If nothing unexpected happened, Japan should have joined the Allied Powers led by Britain.

Japan once again took a radical approach and not only did not join the Allies, but instead joined forces with Germany and Italy to form the Axis.

On July 7, the 2th day after the outbreak of the Russo-German War, Japan launched an attack on Russia and Goryeo simultaneously from the Far East.

When the Japanese army drove strange little tanks to attack the positions of the Russian Amur Military District, the Russian defenders were simply in disbelief.

What is this?

The Bean Tank is Japan's Type 94 ultra-light tank.

94式长3.08米、宽1.62米、高2米，乘员两人，武器只有1挺7.7毫米机枪。

The Bean tank weighs only 3.45 tons and has an armor thickness of 4-12 mm.

In East Asia, where industrial strength is weak, bean tanks can still be used.

Using bean tanks against Russia is too disrespectful to Russia.

Russia's new armored fighting vehicles are all in Europe.

The Amur Military District serves as Russia's rear base, and the tanks equipped by its troops are all old models produced during the last World War.

Even these "grandfather"-level old models weigh more than 20 tons.

After adding external armor, the 7.7mm machine gun of the Bean Tank is like a tickle.

The current commander of the Amur Military District is Peter's second son, Joseph.

Long before the outbreak of the Russo-German War, the Amur Military District transferred its main forces to Europe to assist the Russian army in strengthening its defense, leaving only two divisions in the Amur Military District.

This is probably why Japan dares to take risks.

Although the Amur Military District had very few troops left, its strong fortifications were enough to keep Japan out of Amur.

Although Japan's tanks are rubbish, their fighter jets are pretty good.

Like Germany, Japan has extremely limited resources and can only concentrate its limited resources on developing one area. It is impossible for it to make progress in all areas like Russia.

Japan focused on developing the navy and air force. The navy built a lot of battleships, wasting a lot of resources. There were not many resources left for the air force, and there were almost no resources left for the army, so there was this strange thing called the bean tank.

The armor of the Bean tank is not even as good as that of the Russian wheeled armored vehicles.

The Russian army does not need to use anti-tank guns to attack tanks. Heavy machine guns with a slightly larger caliber can directly penetrate the armor of tanks.

Although the Russian army's defense was not a problem, its offense was also inadequate due to insufficient manpower.

Fortunately, there is Goryeo.

Goryeo has followed Russia in recent years. Although it does not get the good things, the Goryeo army is equipped with 500 armored vehicles produced during the last World War.

George sent a telegram to Joseph, ordering him to lead the Russian-Gaotian coalition forces to put down Japan's arrogance.

Joseph did not disappoint George and wiped out 2.5 Japanese troops in the Battle of Ussuriysk.

The Battle of Ussuriysk—if a battle can be considered as it lasted only 48 hours from its outbreak to its end—shattered the fantasies of the Japanese high command.

After the Battle of Ussuriysk, Japan finally recognized the facts and took the initiative to seek peace with Russia, hoping to sign a non-aggression treaty with Russia.

George ignored the Japanese.

Before the outbreak of the Russo-German War, Russia and Germany also signed a non-aggression treaty.

Facts have proven that in this age of the collapse of rituals and music, promises written in black and white are not even as good as toilet paper.

In another time and space, Japan found that it could not defeat Russia, so it turned south and targeted the colonies of European countries in Asia. This led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, forcing the United States to officially withdraw.

George did not give the United States the opportunity to join the war, did not sign any form of treaty with Japan, and mobilized troops to attack the Japanese army.

After the outbreak of the Russo-German War, Russia launched a new mobilization, planning to mobilize 300 million Russian troops.

This is not the limit of Russia, but the limit of the Cossacks.

In other words, Russia still has some spare capacity up to now.

Compared to Russia, Germany has done its best.

George's warning was still very effective.

In July, Renault's factories in France suddenly encountered problems one after another. Either the machines went on strike due to improper operation by workers, or there was a short circuit and the entire workshop was burned down, or a large number of workers ran away and work could not start due to lack of manpower.

The little mustache was very angry and demanded that the Vichy government work hard to organize production and strictly guarantee the supply of materials to the German troops on the front line.

Pétain was helpless. France has its own national conditions and no one can do anything about it.

French workers under the rule of the French government go on strike every now and then.

Would there be no strike if Germany ruled?
Stop dreaming!
