Chapter 1612: Stalin's Choice

At this moment, Shi Lei told Stalin the news of Russia, Stalin was eager to get news from Russia, but the news was so sudden, it was really beyond his expectations, he originally thought that there was still some time, maybe not three or five years, at least one or two years, according to the information he obtained, the current Entente and the Allies, far from the end, but now it has come suddenly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info,

The news given by Shi Lei is quite comprehensive, not only including the general situation of Russia at present, but also the news of Lenin's return to China, if there are a lot of revolutions in Russia, there is news of chaos everywhere, and it cannot influence Stalin, but the news of Lenin's return to China made Stalin unable to sit still, among the Bolsheviks, Lenin is the leader, is the spiritual mentor, is the supreme leader of the entire Bolsheviks, he has returned to China, if Stalin does not go back, either self-reliance, or only rebellion.

The former is difficult, although Stalin is also a good revolutionary, but at the height of the founding of the sect, Stalin is still too far behind, he cannot open a sect, that is to say, he only has one side to follow, although there is a huge force on hand, there is a force of rebellion, but Stalin knows that it is not yet time, all propaganda doctrines are spread on the basis of Bolshevism and Leninism, and there are even a few senior Bolsheviks who manage the army and the city, He alone took away at most half of his strength.

Stalin knew all this, even if the forces under his control now were far behind those of huge Russia, let alone separated, and on the premise that they could not succeed in the revolution, why bother with a little bit of strength.

Of course, it is impossible for Stalin not to regret it, if he had grasped this information earlier, and if he had started earlier, the situation would have been much better than it is now, at least he would not have been so in a hurry.

Shi Lei's order is quite harsh, and if he makes a decision within a week, either leave or stay, whether he leaves or stays, the control of these Russian cities is no longer in their hands, and it needs to be in accordance with China's requirements, it is impossible to have an independent status, and it is even difficult to earn money with the help of Russian labor, unless he can get prisoners in the future, from the occupied Russian territories, whether it is a Russian prisoner or a prisoner of other countries.

Of course, this was written down by Stalin, and in order to take power in Russia in the future, the funds, weapons and ammunition, and even the population they carried may not be enough, but among the three, money is the most important, and they maintain some kind of contact with China, exchange gold and jewelry, and other things for funds, and even capture some of the people and send them over, those big landlords, big businessmen, big nobles, instead of killing them to vent their anger, it is better to let them work and reform and contribute to the revolution.

A week's time, can not do much, in fact, when Shi Lei put forward the ultimatum, Stalin has already made a decision, leaving is certain, how many people can be taken away, how much property can be taken away, is the height he will be in the future, for this reason, Stalin used the last effort, strive to bring more people to go, but Stalin did not expect that the comfortable life has made many people lose the fighting spirit to fight, not only most of the people would rather be scattered, integrated into other cities in China, and even change their living habits, Learning Chinese that they are not familiar with, they are not willing to devote themselves to the revolutionary process and contribute to the new Russia, and even among the soldiers, some have withdrawn, but fortunately, there is no problem with the most elite 300,000, otherwise Stalin may not dare to say whether he can hold on.

In the end, Stalin eventually took 1.4 million people, including 800,000 troops, and 600,000 people, which was already the limit, and these were either Bolshevik party members, party activists, and, of course, some of them, there were concerns in Russia, and their goals were not pure.

Regardless of whether it is pure or not, as long as they are willing to leave, at least on the road against Russia, it is certain, they do not plan to enter Russia's European region directly from the Urals, which is almost the last stronghold of Russia, according to China's proposal, they will enter Russia from Central Asia, and after occupying that part of Central Asia, they will enter Russia from the side, and China also promised to build a railway from Xinjiang, China to Central Asia, to ensure supplies, as long as there is enough capital, They can buy anything from China, including weapons and equipment.

In order to go back, Stalin's preparations were still deep, 1.4 million people, he just got out of 800,000 troops, of which only 500,000 were elite, and the remaining 300,000 were more auxiliary troops, but whether it was a regular army or an auxiliary army, they would be equipped with weapons, and for this reason, the funds stored by the Bolsheviks began to be spent.

For this part, the Chinese side also generously gave them enough support, and did not temporarily increase the price because of the needs of Stalin and others, or even just a very low price, which has to be said that Stalin did not know, because most of the equipment sold to them was captured from Russia, and it was also captured from Japan, and it was probably equipped with 300,000 Russian equipment and 200,000 Japanese equipment for Stalin, which was enough to double the replenishment, and the artillery and machine guns were also complete.

The most critical thing is that when he left, he also gave Stalin 100 180 mm guns and 8 base ammunition, which is a big killer, 180 mm artillery in the past Russian army, belongs to the strategic support firepower of the group army level, is the most powerful of all artillery, and it is also the most powerful.

However, according to the quality of the Bolshevik army, even if it is 180 artillery, it can be quickly mastered, after all, more than 2 years, it is enough to train hundreds of elite gunners, which is obtained in a large amount of training, as long as you are a little familiar with it, master the law of 180 artillery, it can already play a role, with these artillery, even if it meets the most elite troops of Russia, under the same scale, Stalin is sure that he can win the battle.

In addition to arms, the more important thing is that the Bolsheviks negotiated with China the price of future arms purchases, which is basically the same standard as Germany, which can be exchanged for gold, minerals, and other valuable things, if the Bolsheviks can provide enough manpower, here it specifically refers to the subsequent import into China, according to the same standard as Germany, a person's salary of 50 US dollars per year, which is a very high wage for most workers in this era.

The Bolsheviks and Stalin had not yet taken power, to put it bluntly, they were just a local separatist force, which could get the same treatment as Germany, and even a little support, which was already the greatest support for Stalin, at least he did not worry about the future army becoming rootless water and a tree without a cause.

The Bolsheviks had too little external support, more than 500,000 troops were not small, and if Russia poured out of the country, they would really not be opponents, and the supply of ammunition would be enough for 2-3 large-scale battles, and if the high-intensity battles were fought for a year, there would be problems.

Before some high-level people thought that in order to enter the hinterland of Russia faster and help the revolution, it was not easy to get through the Urals, and the two sides were bounded by the Ural Mountains, and both China and Russia had prepared a large number of trench groups, which could not be compared with Bordeaux, but they were the largest in Russia, and the Bolsheviks did not have enough strength to break through the Ural Defense Line.

Of course, China did not let him go from anywhere, China has investigated the surrounding situation clearly, they did not enter from Mongolia, but from Xinjiang, through the mountain passes of the Tianshan Mountains, across Xinjiang, into Central Asia, China adhered to the previous border, just took the land occupied by Russia, the rest, not crossing, maybe in the future, will move forward, not too much, China already has too much land, this part of the land, is enough for China to develop, other places, Especially in the barren land of Central Asia.

If there are excellent minerals, maybe they can go further, but in Yang Yuanzhao's impression, near the Chinese border, I have not heard of such a large-scale, super world-class mineral deposit as Mongolia's gold and copper mines, Central Asia has a lot of resources, especially oil, the reserves are quite rich, but to a certain extent, after winning the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and even the resources of Australia in the future, these riches in Central Asia are really completely the same from time to time compared with the troubles that may arise. Basically, it is unlikely to attract China, and this part of the place is cheaper for the Bolsheviks.

In the eyes of other high-level leaders, this is more detouring, may take more time, Stalin went from here, that is no problem, for Central Asia, Stalin is very familiar, he almost naturally thought of Azerbaijan, this is his hometown, but now Azerbaijan is in the hands of Germany, although from Central Asia, will bypass the original Russian heavy camps, by the way to launch a revolution, collect wealth and enhance themselves, to a certain extent of strength progress, they will go further, the economy determines the superstructure, It was only established after coming to China.

The Bolsheviks not only received more complete military training in China, Stalin even joined the Northwest Military Academy, audited for at least 1 year, his insight was completely different from before, in the military academy instructor mentioned, the method of encircling the city with the countryside and finally achieving victory, from the initial questioning, to the later recognition, went through a considerable mental journey, for him, the vast land of Russia, just right for him to do, although at this moment, more important for him is in Moscow, The revolution was in the ascendant, but he had to be prepared for defeat and lay a deeper foundation for the future of Russia.
