In mid-June, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Far Eastern Republic, Charliev, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Marshal Alexander, arrived in the capital. At this time, Shan Feng, director of the Central Intelligence Agency in the army headquarters, said: "According to the information we have, the Soviet army is like a bamboo, and it has already knocked down the western shore of Lake Baikal, which is the last barrier of the Far Eastern Republic. If the Russian army in the Far East cannot hold it, the land of the Far Eastern Republic west of Manchuria will be completely lost. ”

Wang Shizhen, chief of staff of the army, said: "There is no doubt that Charyev and Alexander are here to ask for assistance, the powerful Soviet army is invincible, I think the Russian army in the Far East cannot hold it at all, we should wait and see what happens, this is the best policy." "No!" Ge Yunfei walked to the map with an arduous attitude and said: "Our lips are cold, we must not stand idly by. The formation of two states by Soviet Russia did no harm to us. Moreover, the fact that the USSR did not recognize the legitimacy of the Far Eastern Republic meant that the territories east of the Ussuri River were returned to us. Therefore, the security of the Far Eastern Republic is very important for our vital interests."

Ge Yunfei continued: "Our assistance is paid, not for nothing. They can be bought with real money or repaid with minerals. Shan Feng said: "Members of the Tsarist Russian royal family and a large number of wealthy Russian merchants have fled to the Far East, and according to the information we have, the Russian nobles have brought a lot of gold to the Far Eastern Republic. Given the critical situation, it is highly likely that they will buy weapons directly with gold. In addition, the Far Eastern Republic turned to the United States, Britain and France for help, but did not achieve its goal. ”

"What is the attitude of the United States, Britain and France?" We learned through British intelligence that the United States, Britain and France believed that the Far Eastern republics would not be able to stop the Soviet offensive at all and would soon collapse, so they did not want to get bogged down. Ge Yunfei had some doubts in his heart, according to historical records, the West regarded the Soviet Union as a beast of prey, and there was a lot of talk about the tiger changing and attacking it in groups. The Western powers had joined forces in an attempt to strangle the nascent Soviet regime. Could it be that China has replaced Japan in East Asia and changed all that? There is no doubt that the security of the Far Eastern Republic involves China's vital interests, and the United States, Britain, and France have the intention of sitting back and enjoying the consequences.

It seems that this explanation is reasonable, the European and American powers are not fools, they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. In addition, once the Far Eastern Republic withstood the attack of Soviet Russia, it would not be too late for the European and American powers to come to their aid and reap the benefits. "We don't care what the reaction of the United States, Britain and France is, maybe they will morally condemn the Soviet Union, but we can't play lip service. I immediately went to the presidential palace to discuss all-round assistance to the Far Eastern Republic. ”

At this time, the Foreign Minister of the Far Eastern Republic, Charyev, and the Commander-in-Chief Alexander were also deliberating. "The Chinese have always liked real money, and the gold provided generously by the nobles has allowed us to survive the crisis. The security of the Far Eastern Republic involves China's vital interests, and we will not leave empty-handed. "Charyev seems to be confident. Alexander said: "The Petrov corps safely withdrew to the eastern shore of Lake Baikal and strengthened its defenses on the southern shore of the lake, which for the time being can hold solid. ”

Alexander continued: "The Soviet army fought continuously, and it took some time to breathe when the front was stretched. If the Chinese government provides us with tanks, artillery, and advanced combat aircraft, we will be able to form a solid defensive line on the eastern shore of Lake Baikal. "The United States, Britain, France and other countries stood by and watched, they talked beautifully, but there were no substantive measures. The Chinese side generously equipped us with 50,000 troops and played a role in the defense of Lake Baikal. ”

Alexander analyzed: "The Soviet army is in dire shortage of continuous combat materials, and we rushed all the combat materials of Kursk to the eastern shore of Lake Baikal, and the enemy is on an expedition, and if the logistics supply cannot meet the needs of the operation, it will take time. If the Soviets want to attack again, they must wait until the severe cold comes, and Lake Baikal freezes, and we have half a year to prepare. "Report, Chinese General Ge Yunfei came to visit!" A subordinate reported. Charyev and Alexander glanced at each other and hurried out.

In the meeting room, Ge Yunfei said bluntly in the face of the expectant eyes of the two: "Mr. Charliev, Marshal Alexander!" We are well aware that the newly-born Far Eastern Republic is facing a great crisis, and as friendly neighbours, we must not stand idly by, and it is our duty to lend a helping hand. Charyev's eyes lit up and he said: "We understand that your country has just ended the war, and the wounds left by the war are recovering and are in a difficult period. We continue to advance our weapons and equipment, and we can buy weapons with gold, and we hope that China will provide the most advanced weapons. ”

"Dead lips and cold teeth, this is the proverb left to us by our ancestors. After urgent discussions, we decided to provide 60 advanced fighters, 20 fighters, 40 bombers, and train a group of pilots for you. In addition, we will provide you with 500 105mm howitzers. 50 tanks, 800 mortars, 500 light machine guns, 5,000 submachine guns. Taking into account your practical difficulties, you can pay a one-third of the deposit upfront and repay the rest with minerals at a later date. ”

Charyev and Alexander were overjoyed when they heard this, and expressed their gratitude one after another. Where did they think of Ge Yunfei's intention to repay it with minerals in the future, which means that the economic lifeline of the Far Eastern Republic will be in the hands of the Chinese side. This kind of long-term benefit, Ge Yun Feimen is clear, but the premise must be to keep the Far Eastern Republic alive. "Dear General Ge, you are our true friend, God can testify!" Charyev put one hand on his chest and his chin.

Ge Yunfei looked at the military map on the table and said, "Marshal Alexander, you are studying the Baikal defensive operation. "Yes, according to the situation of the enemy forces, we judge that the enemy army will not launch a powerful offensive for at least half a year. The enemy will take advantage of the freezing of Lake Baikal and launch an attack on the southern part of the lake. "Marshal Alexander, do not forget that your opponents are a bunch of madmen, and they will never play their cards according to common sense." "What does General Ge mean?"

"If I were your opponent, I would never wait for winter to come. I will send a cavalry corps to make a roundabout way through Lake Baikal and sweep from north to south. The Kesak cavalry was brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers were hard-working and had the tradition and ability to fight continuously. I understand that your focus is on the defense of the railway line in the southern part of Lake Baikal, but the northern part of the lake is the weakest link, and if the enemy cavalry corps crosses the northern line, the Baikal defense line will collapse in its entirety. ”

"What General Ge said makes sense, but the northern part of Lake Baikal is desolate, and it cannot be solved if heavy troops and military supplies are deployed." "I think it is enough to deploy a division in the north of Lake Baikal, but we must deploy all the tanks provided by our side in the north. I can tell you unequivocally that tanks are the nemesis of cavalry, and only tank fighting vehicles can block the onslaught of enemy cavalry. "General Ge is the Chinese god of war, and I will take your advice."

"In addition, it is important to use combat aircraft, remember that air strikes are not used to block enemy attacks, and the target of strikes should be aimed at the enemy's transport lines, and it is very important to completely paralyze the enemy's transport lines, which is very important for a solid defense." "General Ge, when do you expect the enemy army to attack?" Alexander asked. "I think the enemy will launch an offensive at the end of September, and there are still three months to go, so you have to hurry up and prepare." The arms deal was quickly completed, and Charliev and Alexander returned home satisfied.

A few days later, a column loaded with tanks and fighting vehicles crossed the Russian border from Manchuria and advanced towards Lake Baikal. The train traveled at high speed over the vast field, and the canvas-covered tank chariots on the train revealed ghostly figures. Next to a tank and combat vehicle, young second lieutenant Zhang Xueliang looked excitedly into the field.

After two years of studying at the Armored Forces School and graduating with excellent grades, Zhang Xueliang was selected as a tank instructor and escorted 50 tank fighting vehicles to the Baikal defense line with his comrades.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang was extremely excited in his heart, he was eager to participate in the battle, and personally drove the tank and chariot to charge. But the war is over, and the war scene of Jin Ge Iron Horse is invisible, and Zhang Xueliang is a little depressed. At this time, his ears were still recalling the commander's instructions: You must train the Russian tank troops in the shortest possible time, and if necessary, you may go to the battlefield, you must be fully mentally prepared, and you must not discredit the Chinese soldiers??????。

Being able to fight on the battlefield is what Zhang Xueliang dreamed of. They had specially rehearsed tank-versus-cavalry combat in school, which could be described as an almost one-sided slaughter. It is said that the Kesak cavalry is invincible in the world, and this time it will definitely make the arrogant Kesak cavalry completely doubt life. The tank tank provided by the Chinese side is an improved version of the Cheetah 2, the total weight of the tank has not changed at 15 tons, the caliber of the gun has not changed, but the fire control system has been strengthened, and the front of the turret has changed from one machine gun to two machine guns, and its striking area is wider.

Along the way, many Russian soldiers looked at the military column, not knowing what was pulled on the car, and it can be said that these Russian soldiers had never even seen the face of the tank. Seeing the Chinese soldiers standing on the car, the Russian soldiers thought that the car was pulling artillery, and their faces showed envious expressions. Nowadays, the artillery of the Russian army is also pitiful. Zhang Xueliang looked at the stupid appearance of the Russian soldiers, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, only a strong motherland can truly gain the respect of others.

Zhang Xueliang felt great satisfaction in his heart, and couldn't help but straighten his body, and his blood rippled in his heart. He secretly made up his mind that he would never disgrace the Chinese soldiers, and that the iron and blood of the Chinese soldiers would shock all directions.
