Chapter 423: Astana

Back to Tsarist Russia.

On the world map, the rise of any powerful empire takes time to precipitate, generally speaking, a cycle of two hundred years.

There is a striking similarity among the dynasties that have emerged in the world.

Since the 15th century, when Ivan IV was crowned Tsar in 1547 and the Russian state was born, it embarked on a path of rapid expansion, mainly aimed at countering the Ottoman Turks.

In 1721, Russia was unified and was awarded the title of Emperor of All Russia by the Russian Senate.

In the late 18th century, during the reign of Catherina II, it reached its peak.

Become one of the great powers of Europe.

Among them, Tsarist Russia can be said to have not forgotten its original intention and launched 9 Russian-Turkish wars.

How far is Moscow from Turkey? Very far away, across the mountains and rivers of his meow,

Russia is completely riveted and tirelessly aimed at Turkey, for which it does not hesitate to occupy more than 6,000 kilometers from the three Transcaucasian countries, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moscow to Turkey, and establish a communication route of thousands of kilometers in order to cross the Caucasus Mountains and attack Turkey.

It also took more than 200 years to occupy Kazakhstan in order to form an encirclement of Turkey.

Over the course of more than 300 years, over several generations, and a total of 9 Russo-Turkish wars?

This powerful empire was also dragged down by the war, and the war after 300 years was no longer as pure as revenge, it belonged to the great powers competing for hegemony, and in order to fight for the Balkan Peninsula, Britain, France, and Ottoman Turkey all declared war on Germany one after another.

Russia suffered a crushing defeat.

The defeat of the Tsar discredited its absolute monarchy at home and abroad, while the country was in short supply, the economy was in recession, the workers went on strike, and the peasants, unwilling to accept the rule of serfs, stood up and started a revolution and wanted to establish a country where everyone was equal.

The seeds of the revolution sprouted in Eros.

It was the First World War again.

Almost wiped out the old book.

Tsarist Russia had already existed in name only.

After the First World War, Germany desperately developed its military industry and produced weapons, vowing to fight with them.

The situation at that time was, and everyone knew that the Second World War was inevitable.

It is inevitable to erupt.

The Anglo-French forces were busy building the Maginot Line on the French border.

And Tsarist Russia, which was busy with revolution.

At the end of World War I, in 1917, the February Revolution broke out, and the Bolsheviks, under the leadership of Marxism-Leninism, overthrew the Tsar, ousted the Tsar, established the Supreme Soviet power, and ruled Russia through the October Revolution of the same year.

From then on, under the leadership of Comrade Lenin, Eros established the world's first socialist state.

After the emancipation of the serfs and the establishment of the production system of the collective farms, they began to actively prepare for war.

The tsar was overthrown, and the previously enslaved territories became independent, such as the five countries of Central Asia, the three countries of Transcaucasia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, etc., and established Soviet power one after another, with the three Soviet states of Erros, Ukraine, and White Erros as the mainstay, supplemented by 12 dependent countries, and in just 21 years, it has developed into the most powerful federation on the European continent.

Just 21 years later, in 1939, World War II broke out.

That's probably the whole context.

On the European continent, there is a traditional division of periods, a cycle of about 1000 years, the classical era, the Middle Ages, and the modern era.

The classical period was 500 B.C., to 500 A.D., the European continent implemented the city-state system, with Persia, Greece, Sparta, as the representative symbols, competing for hegemony, after the Ionian War, Sparta declined, Macedonia, relying on the famous Macedonian phalanx, bullished for a while, and then the Roman Empire officially rose, to the end of the classical era after the fall of Western Rome.

Then into the Middle Ages, the whole Middle Ages is the history of the decline and fall of Eastern Rome, the Byzantine Empire, around 500 AD, to the end of 1500 AD.

During this period, Byzantium promoted Orthodox Christianity on the European continent, established the Holy See, implemented the papal system, and fought with the Islan world in order to compete for the Holy Land, launched 8 crusades, and traveled thousands of kilometers from Europe, in order to fight for Jerusalem, and the Middle East formed the deepest hatred, war, ignorance, degenerate, decadence, knights and lords ruthlessly exploited the people at the bottom, plague was rampant, plague and the Black Death were raging, burning witches, coupled with the rise of the Yuan Dynasty on the Chinese side, East Asia, which had not been expanding westward, suddenly changed, Genghis Khan liked the steppe so much, trying to establish a khanate rule in the world, to cover the Mongol tent all over the world, the Eurasian steppe has always been regarded by him as a bag, must be asked for quickly, the tyrannical conquest of the three western expeditions, the Europeans are powerless to resist, calling them the sword of God, the punishment of God, it is simply miserable, it is called the darkest period of the European continent, the dark era.

Then there were the Saudis, Arabs, and Islan in the Middle East, who organized themselves against the Holy See and developed into a powerful Ottoman Turkish Empire to attack Europe.

After the fall of Byzantium, the European continent was divided and the major principalities became independent, such as Muscovy becoming Erros, which entered the modern era.

From 1500 A.D. to the outbreak of World War II, the entire European continent was like this for 400 years.

……

(I'm ashamed, the water is so frenzy, that's when I finally go back to Kazakhstan.) )

Astana, a city on the northwestern border of Kazakhstan, is an important post station and military fortress established by Tsarist Russia in order to attack Turkey's eastward expansion strategy.

In 1824, a Siberian Cossack army from Omsk, Russia, invaded Kazakhstan and built a citadel on the banks of the Ishim River, the main purpose of which was to build a railway, and the Central Asian Turkestan Military District was established in Kazakhstan to complete the strategic encirclement of Turkey, and this place was Astana.

After decades of development, by 1910, Kazakhstan at this time had completed the original tsar's concept, and the Turkestan Military District was established.

The Eros were established in the steppe of the Central Asian Military District, which can be said to have been established entirely for war readiness.

The place is full of large military enterprises, steel mills, oil refineries, power plants, and dense railways, complex and coherent railway veins.

At its peak, Almaty had 8 military bases of all sizes and more than 100 Eroswan garrisons.

This strategy has been successful.

Tsarist Russia lost the Ninth Russo-Turkish War, but relied on the strategic encirclement of the Central Asian Military District to win the First World War and destroy the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Astana, on the other hand, is the closest region to Erros and was the first military fortress built by the Erros people, which has developed over the decades and has become a railway junction between Erros and Kazakhstan.

It can be said that Almaty is the strategic terminal of Central Asia, and it is a heavy place for troops.

Astana is the departure point, and all the transportation of goods in Eros has to pass through Asnata Tower.

Its strategic significance is self-evident.

It is the two most important cities in the whole of Kazakhstan.
