Chapter 1827: The Great Migration

On July 10, the second and final great migration in the short history of the Far Eastern Soviet Republic began. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first migration was at the turn of the spring and summer of 38, due to the invasion of the Japanese army, millions of people in the Far East were forced to move from the Far East to Primorye, Khabarovsk and other places, along the Siberian railway line, to Western Siberia and the Urals, a few families were allocated to the fields, most of the families lived in mines and factory areas, except for minors who can enjoy preferential treatment and enter schools at all levels, regardless of men and women, they have to work.

The scale of this migration is even more spectacular than the first, and of course there are more problems.

Lyuschenkov returned to Svidlovsk and immediately held a meeting of the Politburo. When he proposed to let the people decide their own future, the conference room suddenly exploded, and the Central Department of the People's Republic of China Pydakov protested loudly, saying that this was a shameful betrayal of the revolutionary cause, and that any ideological vacillation must be resolutely stopped, not to mention that it was organized by the Soviets and the army, and that the People's Commissar for Political Affairs Rosengolz, the People's Commissar for Propaganda Chubal, and the People's Commissar for the Economy Khalepsky all supported Pidakov's opinion.

Lyuschenkov sneered and said, "Don't you allow others to take responsibility for your future at this life-and-death juncture?" When the independence of the Far East was proclaimed, the deceased leaders such as Blyukher, Bukharin and Rykov had made good promises to the people, but now they have not fulfilled anything, which makes him feel very ashamed as one of the former decision-makers. Lyuschenkov reminded that without the support of these traitors, as you call them, there would have been no Soviet power in the Far East, and most of you would have probably been lying in the cemetery.

Pydakov's face flushed, he stood up and brushed his sleeves away, and the other members of the Politburo either found out in conscience or were under great pressure from Lyuschenkov, and at the same time, in view of the fact that the two military members present at the meeting, Vasily and Hulin, also stood firmly on the side of Lyuschenkov, and unanimously passed the motion submitted by Lyuschenkov.

Subsequently, the Soviet government and army of the Far East sprang into action, using radios, newspapers, leaflets, etc., to carry out non-stop propaganda, and vehicles carrying loudspeakers into the villages, mines, and factories to give the people the choice.

The results surprised *** that of the more than 20 million people in the Far East, 6.7 million chose to emigrate, and the vast majority of those who migrated from the coastal areas to Siberia and the Urals chose to become South Chinese citizens.

At the beginning of the independence of the Far East Soviets, under the jurisdiction of 11 million people, with the rapid expansion of the army, and the beginning of the 38th year of some factories and enterprises moved in, the population quickly shrank to more than 9 million, the first great migration, in addition to more than 3 million old and weak retreat did not stay in the Far East, there are still 5 million Far East people retreated to Western Siberia and the Urals, and then with the attrition of the war, the prime of life men are almost exhausted, the population is left about 4 million, most of them are women and children.

This time, 3.7 million people from the Far East chose to join South China, and another 3 million people from West Siberia and the Urals also chose to leave the place where they had lived for a long time, fearing that Stalin would settle accounts after the fall.

Most of the inhabitants of Western Siberia were landlords, kulaks, and reactionaries who opposed the collectivization policy in Europe after the October Revolution, and after they moved here, they were confined to collective farms and subjected to labor reform, and even basic survival could not be guaranteed.

As former class enemies, these people were very worried about their future and fate, and now they have chosen to flee this dangerous place when they have the opportunity to leave.

Normally, migration of this magnitude is destined to be chaotic, and may even lead to a surge in law and order and crime, but because the army is in front of the army to maintain it, and at the same time, there are troops on the other side of the border, and everything is relatively smooth at first.

In the summer, there is no need to worry about the cold of Siberia, and the continuous migration of people from the border to the distant Urals stretches from the border to the distant Urals, and if you look at the ground from the satellite, you will find a majestic scene of people surging from west to east and from north to south.

On July 12, two days after the Great Migration, Svidlovsk airport.

With a heavy heart, Lyuschenkov sent his wife and daughter to the ramp of the plane, watched the passenger plane slowly take off from the runway, slowly disappear into the southern sky, and looked at each other with several generals and marshals of Hulin and Vasily, who also came to bid farewell to their relatives, and got into the same jeep returning to the city.

The convoy started, and four military trucks in the front and rear, protecting the four jeeps in the middle, drove towards the city. Chief of the General Staff of the Far Eastern Army, General Hu Lin, said with a wry smile:

"Moscow hasn't declared us innocent...... Now that we send our wives and children away, it is estimated that we will be put on a big hat of pessimism and escapism again! ”

After Yegorov's resignation, General Vasily, who returned to Svidlovsk from Saratov on the Southern Front, temporarily assumed the post of People's Commissar of Military Affairs and Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force, while Hulin became the chief of the General Staff of the whole army, and together the two firmly controlled the power of the army.

Vasily looked tired, shook his head and said, "What if you don't do this?" We all know that this time it must be more than lucky, do we want our family to accompany us to die!

"However, Yegorov was also angry, and three days ago, he brought out more than 110,000 people of the Western Front in the encirclement of the German army, and the German army's attempt to completely annihilate the army in the Minsk region was seriously frustrated, and it favorably supported the defense of the Smolensk front in the rear, saying that it may not be possible to launch a moderate counteroffensive to support and respond to other battlefields! This is the first time that the German army has not realized its strategic intentions since the war launched the year before last, and I hope that this victory of Egorov can change Stalin's impression of us to a certain extent, so that we will not be sent to death in vain! ”

"It's hard!"

Lyshenkov sighed: "We must be eliminated as consumables, otherwise how can the 'great Comrade Stalin' consolidate his leadership and core position?" Poor Pidakov and others, thinking that Stalin would be grateful to Dade for helping in a critical moment, and they would turn the corner from danger, did not understand that their very existence was a great threat to the prestige of the 'consistently correct Comrade Stalin'!

"That's it, that's it, the wood is already in the boat, don't think about it anymore, send away the wife and children, and feel a lot more relaxed. The only thing we can do now is to send innocent people away and take our share of responsibility! After all, we are still soldiers, and playing politics is not our forte......"

During the conversation, the convoy had already entered the streets of the city, and by this time the city of Svidlovsk was in chaos, the roads were full of hurried people, and the cars were blocked by the crowd of people, and they were moving slowly.

"Dada-da-"

At this moment, a fierce burst of gunfire suddenly came from the direction of the train station.

Lyuschenkov's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ordered the driver to park the car on the side of the street, jumped out of the car, and said to Vasily and Hulin, who looked surprised: "You go back to take care of the army first, and I will take someone to the railway station to have a look." It's such a mess now, don't make any mistakes! ”

Vasily wanted to get out of the car with him: "I'm the commander-in-chief of the three armies, or I'll go......"

Lyshenkov stopped him, waved his hand and said: "Don't fight with me, at this time, you two are more important than me!" Don't worry, I'll go with the guards! ”

After saying that, Lyuschenkov turned his head and ordered the adjutant standing beside him, and soon fifteen fighters jumped out of the military truck behind, followed Lyuschenkov, and walked in the direction of the railway station.

"Toot-"

The locomotive's whistle blew, and a train with more than a dozen cars slowly left the station.

However, there are so many people who want to get on the train, and even when the train has started and gradually accelerated, there are still people who are trying to get close to the train, grab everything they can borrow, and desperately climb up the train.

Outside the station, a large number of people still flocked to the station, ignoring the repeated warnings of the soldiers.

Lyuschenkov rushed to the station and saw that the soldiers on duty at the station fired warning shots into the sky, which made the people stay calm, so he was a little relieved, and immediately called the station leaders to ask for details.

The station master was an old Bolshevik, in his early fifties, with a bald forehead, and said with a wry smile: "It's messy, it's all messy, originally only some people chose to leave, but then when they saw their relatives and neighbors move away, people gradually panicked and chose to move."

"Actually, the same thing is happening not only here, but also in the entire Urals and Siberia, where the government has basically arranged for trains, cars, or at least horse-drawn carts, ox carts and other means of transport to go south, and now these new entrants, because they did not plan in advance, have pinned all their hopes on the railway, thinking that only the train going south can bring them out of the predicament.

"But the capacity of the train is so large, so we can only give priority to people who have tickets to board the train, but this stimulates those who do not have tickets, so there is the current situation of forced boarding......"

Before the stationmaster's words fell, another burst of gunfire came.

Lyuschenkov turned his head to look, only to see a train slowly approaching the station, the people in the station, regardless of whether they had tickets or not, surging forward frantically, the soldiers held hands to block the flow of people, but the crowd surged, and in a blink of an eye they couldn't resist, so the soldiers standing behind could only pick up machine guns and shoot into the sky again.

The gunfire deterred most people, and soon the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and those with tickets got on the bus first.

When the people with tickets had boarded the train, there were still some empty seats on the train, and the others went crazy again, and the soldiers roughly estimated that five or six hundred people had been put in, and seeing that they could still accommodate people, they had put a few hundred more people, and there was basically no extra space in the train.

Of course, it was not easy to enter such a crowded space, and the soldiers were not polite, or pushed by hand, or pedaled, and stuffed these people into the car one by one, and soon countless people poured into each stuffy tank car, and there was almost no place to put their feet in the carriage.

The number of people that a train can carry, after all, is limited, and soon even the top of the train is full of people, the train finally starts, slowly leaving the station, many women with children in their arms, running and waving to the train, but there is no way to stop the train, inside and outside the car, crying.

The scene in front of him deeply touched Lyuschenkov, but he had no way to change all this, and a line of turbid tears rolled down.

In the barracks south of Svidlovsk, a convoy of fifty military trucks is unloading downwards.

Nearly half of the people had to walk south, and a large number of porridge sheds for food had to be set up along the way. Of course, instead of rice porridge, mashed potatoes with salt, chopped green onions, and grease mixed with chunks of sweet potatoes are served in the porridge shed, and in principle, you need to collect them with a ticket.

In the past two years, Nanhua has cultivated potatoes and sweet potatoes in Central Asia and obtained a bumper harvest, so it took the initiative to allocate a sum of food, which was organized by the Soviet government and army in the Far East to cook it by hand to meet the needs of the people who migrated along the way.

For example, the city of Yar in the Northern Urals, which is the farthest from the South China border, needs to walk about 1,200 kilometers from here to the southeast border with South China, or a month based on 40 kilometers per day. On the one hand, these families are reluctant to lose their cattle, horses and other herds, and on the other hand, these animals are tied to board carts as a good means of transportation, which can greatly reduce the pressure of railway and road transportation.

However, the most troublesome thing about walking is the problem of food and accommodation. In order to alleviate the concerns of the emigrants, before departure, the Soviet government of the Far East distributed 90 meal tickets to each family on a 30-day basis based on three meals a day, and received food on the way with the tickets.

After Nanhua's convoy finished unloading the grain, it drove to the car transport station next to the barracks, and it took an hour to embark on the return journey full of people with bus tickets.

At this time, at a street corner in the south of the city, a blonde man in his thirties kept asking for help from people passing by, but people were desperate to flee, and no one stopped to help. Under the eaves of the corner of the street next to her, a woman was curled up on the ground, constantly ***ing and shouting, and a pool of blood flowed from under her.

At this moment, the blonde man saw a convoy coming from the street to the north, and he was already in despair, and he suddenly rushed to the middle of the road and stopped the front of the convoy.

The car at the head made a sharp braking sound, followed by a series of brake sounds, and only then did the man see clearly that a five-clawed golden dragon red flag was flying on the front of the truck.

A military man in camouflage jumped out of the passenger seat and yelled at the blonde man, "What's the matter? Did you know that you almost got into a car accident? ”

Behind the carriage of the military vehicle, there were locals ready to evacuate, who were babbling in Russian to accuse the men of not being right.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help it, please, please help me, my wife is in labor!" The blonde man fell to his knees as if he had seen a savior, pleading loudly.

"Huh!? This-" The soldier was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

At this time, an officer got off a military vehicle behind, he walked up to the man and looked twice, and then walked to the woman who was constantly wailing, his face suddenly became solemn, and he turned his head and ordered:

"Since they have chosen to go south, they are our citizens of Nanhua, and we cannot afford to die without help. Hurry up and ask if there are any doctors and nurses among the migrating people, diagnose them first, and if it is really a delivery, let the others squeeze in, carry the two of them into the car, and deliver the baby while walking. ”

"Yes!"

Soon, two Russian girls, who had worked as nurses in the military hospital, determined that the woman had fetal gas, gave birth early, and the child's head could now be seen. The people in the car behind knew what was happening in front of them, and the brilliance of humanity was revealed at this moment, and the truck, which was already very crowded, forced to free up half of the space for the car, and as the delivery woman and her husband got into the car, the convoy resumed moving, and two nurses delivered the woman in this bumpy state.

Two hours later, the car had arrived in the town of Cassino to the south, and a new life was born.

After another four hours, the convoy finally arrived at the border checkpoint, and during the registration process, the child's parents named the baby girl "Hua En", meaning that the child would always remember the kindness given by the South China government and the army.

......

The train going south travels on the fertile black soil.

Because it was the height of summer, the train carriages were crowded with people, and the air was filthy, when the train passed by some small stations, slow down to avoid other trains, and people on both sides of the railway tried to squeeze into the train like crazy, and with unremitting efforts, finally the lucky ones got their wish and jumped on the train.

Although the carriage is already very crowded, people are super adaptable, and can always make some space in the mutual adjustment in order to make others and themselves more comfortable, and these empty seats give those who do not give up along the way a chance to survive.

Outside the car window, a large neat field, like emeralds, quickly receded.

It's the middle of July, and the agricultural cultivation in Siberia, which is generally based on wheat, has only three to four months of frost-free period, and is generally planted for one season.

However, the gathering points of refugees who smoke and spray food can be seen everywhere in the field, and the southward flow of people rolling on the road in the distance makes the mood of the people generally depressed, and there are even "huh" cries in the carriages.

"Watch the train rush south, and on the bleak banks of the river, people hang their heads and sing softly in sorrow...... Why grieve alone, why sigh deeply...... Seeing that the festive season is coming, my sweetheart no longer belongs to me......"

I don't know who sang "Three Sets of Cars" with adapted lyrics, and the singing voice is majestic and desolate, which makes people cry sadly.

The electric poles flashing by the roadbed are like sentries standing tirelessly.

The train is heading south at high speed, heading for an unknown future.

......

Troitsk of this era was not the city of the later Moscow Region, but a small town on the Kazakh border.

According to the agreement signed between the South Chinese government and the Soviet Union, the two countries were bordered to the west and northwest, and to the west and north of the Ural River, so that the cities of Chkalov, Orsk, Magny, and Troitsk were directly included in the territory of South China.

It is only more than 150 kilometers from this Troitsk town to Chelyabinsk, another central city in Siberia, and only 370 kilometers from Svidlovsk, the political, economic and cultural center of the Urals and Siberia, which can be reached by train in more than four hours!

As a result, the town of Troitsk, located behind the border between the two countries, which is connected by rail, has become an important place to receive resettlement.

As early as Zhao Rui took up the post of commander of the Central Asian Military Region, he followed An Yi's order to send engineering troops to important towns with railway connections along the border, expand airports, railway stations, car parking lots, and refugee camps that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, including the town of Troitsk.

Now all this has finally come in handy.

As the first batch of migrants entered the border area on 11 July, the South China Government's Immigration Bureau, the Political Department of the Central Asian Military Region, and the intelligence department went all out to carry out their work in accordance with the plan in an orderly manner.

In the beginning, due to the low flow of people, it was possible to transport people entering the country as a family unit to a pre-planned place at any time. Later, however, more and more migrants moved in, except for some of the weaker people who needed medical treatment and moved into the camps, and the rest were diverted to the rear to Custana, Kartale, Orsk and other places, and then transferred.

At the same time, the border migrant reception points such as Uralsk, Chkalov, Petropavlovsk, and Tatarsk were quickly flooded with migrants, although so far, the Central Asian Military Region, the First Military Region, and the Armed Police Corps have dispatched 200,000 troops to maintain public order and order, and sent 30,000 political cadres to participate in registration and management, but the manpower is still stretched.

Under these circumstances, An Yi, who was in the town of Troitsk and directed the relocation and diversion tasks, immediately issued an order to organize "volunteers" from among the young men and women entering the country to manage them. "Volunteers" are under the jurisdiction of the political department, and after registration, they can be given priority consideration in the assignment of jobs in the future, and even have the opportunity to serve as civil servants in South China, which immediately attracts many young people.

As a result of the "compulsory education" system in the Soviet Union, the young people were of a relatively high level of literacy, and soon a large contingent of "volunteers" was formed, who cooperated with the army and political cadres in all kinds of work, and order soon became orderly.

Just when An Yi was thinking about how to ensure the dominant position of the Chinese and smoothly integrate these Russians, he suddenly received an urgent report that more than 2 million people of the central army and local army of the Nanjing government, with the cooperation of 50,000 American troops and Philippine troops, started a war with the Japanese army in the Central Plains.

A big change is about to happen, and An Yi is asked to return to Beijing immediately to preside over the work.

Under these circumstances, An Yi handed over the task of relocation and resettlement to Zhao Rui and Huang Yingwu, and told them to assign these Russians to different regions in order to dilute the population. If a quarter of the Russians in a particular area are placed in a certain area, and there is no other place to allocate them for the time being, it is advisable to first carry out vocational skills training and then distribute them according to the actual needs of the factories in each area.
