Chapter 2025 Bloody Guard

Western Siberia, the capital of the Western Han Province, Weiqing City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info(--net.)

Under the cover of ice and snow, the huge city is silent. Although the Military Management Commission and various government departments had been established before this, and two armed police corps consisting of eight fire squadrons, a garrison division formed by Category B troops, and two units of the Southwestern Coalition Army Division had been stationed at the same time, it was still too quiet compared to the second city of Western Siberia, which covers an area of more than 50 square kilometers.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the leaders of the Far Eastern Republics announced their integration into the Soviet Union as a whole, and after the migration of more than 9 million people to South China according to their own will, the entire Urals and Western Siberia rapidly declined.

With the Soviet Union's successive defeats on the battlefields of Eastern Europe and the rapid fall of its territory, the population of the Soviet-controlled areas has rapidly dropped from 150 million at its peak to more than 60 million.

After entering the thirties, years of continuous famine, the Great Purge that almost replaced the middle and lower echelons of the Red Army, and the population losses caused by the war with the Far Eastern Republics, coupled with the cession of Central Asia, Siberia, and the Far East three or eight years later, the area under the actual control of the Soviet Union in Europe was only about 4 million square kilometers, and almost more than 5 million square kilometers and more than 90 million people fell under the control of the German army.

On the land east of Moscow to the Ural Mountains, a small half of the men between the ages of 14 and 45 have taken up guns, and the armed forces of the Soviet Union are now 15 million people, and the rest of the young and middle-aged people, women, children, and the elderly enter the factories to produce various strategic materials under the guidance of engineers and technicians to support front-line operations.

The cities of Kazan, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, Molotov, Gorky, Batraki, which were once the focus of competition with the Far Eastern Republics, have become the new industrial centers of the Soviet Union, which can produce almost all the standard weapons of the Soviet Army. Cities such as Chermoz became the Iron City.

Due to the unexpected recovery of Moscow this month, the industrial cities of Shcherbakov, Yaroslavl, and Ivanov, which had been seriously threatened by the German army, have turned from danger to safety, and if the cities of Stalinno Gorsk, Tula, Kaluga, Podolsk, and Kalinin around Moscow are recovered at this time, then the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield will be fundamentally reversed.

At the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries, scheduled to be held on 2 January, Stalin hoped that An Yi would agree to provide the Soviet side with 2 million tons of grain, 5 million sets of cotton clothing, and weapons and equipment for arming 40 divisions.

In addition, although the area under the actual control of the Soviet Union still has large and medium-sized coal mining areas such as Kitzer, Rosoš and Cuba, and iron ore mines in Rudnichnyyi, Ulyupinsk, Lipetsk, Vyksá, Kasimov and Omutninsk, the annual output of six million tons of steel is not enough to support the huge consumption of the front, and Stalin demanded an additional order of four million tons of steel for military production.

As for An Yi's visit to Central Asia and Siberia, on the one hand, he held talks with Stalin, formally signed the territorial pact between the two countries and demarcated the border, erected boundary monuments and put up barbed wire on the border between the two countries, and completely resolved this long-standing and difficult issue that is very likely to affect the relations between the two countries after the war. On the other hand, it is necessary to deal with the aftermath of the three armies of the Southwest Coalition Army.

In the second half of 38, Xiangxi, Qianxi, and Yunnan jointly dispatched three armies to Central Asia, mainly for garrison and border guarding tasks. Over the past few years, the three armies have been using a rotation system, with officers and soldiers constantly being drawn from within the country to Central Asia and Siberia.

Unconsciously, the three southwestern regions quietly squeezed out the descendants of the Anjia Army from the army.

In the agreement reached by Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen and An Yi, the three armies are basically composed of officers of the Anjia Army, and they will be returned to the Anjia Army intact, and the families of the officers and soldiers will also be properly resettled, and if necessary, they will be funded to assist in relocating to Nanhua.

An Yi came to Siberia this time to talk face-to-face with the officers and men of the three armies, calm the morale of the troops, boost morale, and at the same time read out the latest decision of the Central Military Commission.

Weiqing City is known as the "Lake Kingdom" city, the city is surrounded by large lakes in the east, west, north and south, due to the special geological structure, these lakes are located in deep basins, usually up to 30 to 40 meters deep, fresh water reserves are extremely rich, is the main source of drinking water and industrial water in the city.

To the north of the city is the factory area of the Western Han Ordnance Corporation, which is the site of the Chelyabinsk Arsenal of the former Far Eastern Republic.

After arriving in Weiqing City, An Yi simply rested for one night, and the next morning he inspected the ammunition factory, artillery shell factory, steel shell factory, fuse factory, rifle machine gun factory, gun factory, gunpowder and explosives factory, detonator and primer factory, gas mask factory, tractor factory, automobile factory, brass factory, steel mill, roller steel mill and other affiliated factories, chemical iron factory, coking plant, and other factories in the factory.

Most of the production workshops have already started, Chinese and Russian workers are working intensively, and the butter is still clearly visible on the installed production lines in the few deserted, sealed workshops.

After Xiao Yimin walked around, the doubts in his mind became bigger and bigger, and finally he couldn't help it, and asked Dr. Wen Sirui, a military expert sent by the Military Management Commission to accompany the visit:

"Wengong, looking at the scale of these factories and production workshops, they are not weaker than those large arsenals in Mongolia, Central Asia and other places, why did the Soviet government, which is now extremely short of weapons and equipment, not take over the past and immediately organize production? I think that the output of this one factory in one month alone can meet the needs of equipping ten divisions! ”

Wen Sirui smiled very brightly, and he pulled a Caucasian old man in his fifties, thin and with curly blond hair, and introduced:

"This is Professor Myreks, the former chief engineer of the Chelyabinsk Arsenal, and I think he will tell the chairman better than I can tell the chairman about the cause and effect."

An Yi hurriedly stepped forward, shook hands with Professor Myrex cordially, and said warmly: "I didn't expect to meet a selfless military expert here, An Yi is very honored. At present, there are about 60,000 or 70,000 scientists of Russian origin in Chunxiang City, Tangcheng City, Yaoting City, Anxin City and other places conducting scientific research for us, and all of them, like my wife and sister, have been sworn to become South Chinese citizens. ”

Professor Myrex obviously knew the relationship between An Yi and Lyuschenkov, nodded without humility or arrogance, pointed to the machinery and equipment in the factory, and said:

"The year before last, after the republic's annexation to the USSR was cancelled and the people automatically chose their own path in the future, Chairman Lyushenkov ordered the machinery and equipment of all factories and enterprises east of the Ural Mountains to be sealed, and then led his troops into the Great Patriotic War.

"Before leaving, Chairman Lyushenkov told all the comrades who remained behind that they were going to fight to do their duty and duty as Bolshevik fighters, and that if they could be recognized by Comrade Stalin and reintegrated into the core leadership of the Soviet Union, they would take the initiative to tell the truth. If they are persecuted and killed, and the decline of the great Soviet Union is inevitable, then we, the ones who remain behind, can decide for ourselves where these things belong.

"Chairman Lyuschenkov's hunch is correct, they have really been treated unfairly, in the past two years, almost all the high-ranking generals of our Far Eastern Republic have been killed on the battlefield, while Stalin's descendants have been unscathed, where in the world is such a coincidence? The previously restored Soviet government of Chelyabinsk also sent people to inspect the situation of the arsenal, and when they saw the cobweb-covered factories and the rusty dilapidated production lines, they did not even have the mood to take another look at them, and walked away. I've heard that Svidlovsk to the north, oh, what is the city of Yongzeng, is a similar situation...... Tanks, aircraft and large arsenals in Nizhny Tagil, Kirovgrad and other places have been preserved.

"From the beginning to the end, the Moscow side received the message that all these machinery and equipment, along with more than 9 million people, had been sent to Chairman Lyuschenkov's disciple An Yi, and as a price for the resettlement of those people, the officials from Moscow to the local Soviet government did not realize that these things were actually under their noses.

"We hate those self-proclaimed orthodox officials, who beat and scolded us, the remnants of the Far Eastern Republic, and drove them as cattle...... Fortunately, under the slogan of everything for the front, there are not many military and political officials assigned here, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to keep the secret. ”

An Yi was greatly moved: "Teacher Liushenkov really has nothing to say to me as a student, if it weren't for the fact that he vigorously helped us build Mongolia's steel and military industrial system, and sent troops to clear the obstacles in Central Asia for us, so that we have a solid development base, where would there be all this in South China today?" It's a pity that although I knew that there would be danger, the teacher and his comrades-in-arms still chose to shed their last drop of blood for the country and the nation, so that I, a student who has gained a lot, could not fulfill my filial piety, which made people sigh and make people sigh.

"Professor Myrex, thank you and your comrades for your outstanding contributions to us, you are a heroic model of our military-industrial complex!"

Professor Myrex shook his head repeatedly:

"I really don't deserve such praise! I also don't see the chaos of the people in Moscow, if they hadn't been specially organized, with the strength of our Red Army in the Far East, where would they have been driven out of Moscow in disgrace? This is all Stalin using the hands of the Germans to eradicate dissidents! ”

An Yi knew that the gap between the Soviet Union and Germany was indeed very large, and if it weren't for Hitler's pink eye and madness this time, he would definitely not be driven out again while occupying most of Moscow. However, he naturally did not explain to Professor Myrex, an old Bolshevik, and repeatedly praised Professor Myrex's outstanding contributions, and announced in public that he would set aside 500,000 yuan to reward all those who "protect state-owned assets."

Returning to the military compound in the southwest of the city and built on the lakeside, Shen Fengdao whispered that Zeng Changhe, Liu Yifang, Li Yunfeng, Zhong Zhiyuan, Xia Weiyin, Wei Yangxin, Lu Ping, Liu Qingrong, Shi Danping, Li Dingfang, Wu Yijiang, and other generals of the Southwest Coalition Army, who had been stationed in various parts of Siberia, had rushed back by train or plane, and were already waiting in the conference room at the moment.

An Yi strode into the conference room, came to the center of the rostrum, and solemnly saluted these old subordinates who had left the collective of An Jiajun for at most 14 years, which immediately attracted a cry.

An Yi's eyes were also red, and he choked up: "The selfless dedication of the brothers over the years, I An Yi sees it in my eyes and remembers it in my heart. In the past, Xiangxi, Qianxi, and Yunnan were all our allies, and some of us needed to make sacrifices to serve as a bridge of communication between us.

"In fact, over the years, the southwest has been firmly embraced together, others have not been able to enter, and economic and trade cooperation has also been carried out vigorously, and unimaginable results have been achieved. Brothers, without the original alliance, there would not be the glory of our Anjia Army now, and there would be no new China with a vast territory, rich products, and developed industry! From this point of view, you have a great credit, and I am grateful to you!

"Of course, time has passed, the sky is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, we can't force others, everyone is good to get together and disperse, it should be someone else's, we don't want it, but it belongs to us, and others don't want to take advantage. In this separation, I only emphasize one point, how much these industries are worth now, how much it costs to train workers, and other invisible values, every penny and a lot of them must be settled to us......

"Brothers, you can't imagine that the three places are now contacting the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanxi, and Guangdong consortia with great fanfare, and under the supervision of the economic experts we have dispatched, after a month of property stripping and property sales, a total of 500 million dollars worth of gold and silver have been obtained, and our treasury is almost full...... He's ***, he's rich! ”

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.

An Yi was also laughing, and after laughing, he continued:

"Seriously, it's not a pity that those industries threw me away, after the Americans lost South America, Canada and the western part of their country, the resources were seriously insufficient, nearly half of the factories and enterprises were in a state of semi-shutdown, and many consortia couldn't hold on to start processing production lines and equipment, so I used the gold and silver worth 500 million US dollars to exchange for the equivalent of Huayuan to buy, and the machine tools and production lines bought back were enough for our industrial upgrading!

"Now we have Western Siberia, this place looks barren, but the underground is full of treasures, the Ural Mountains are full of high-quality iron ore and coal mines, and the West Siberian wilderness is full of oil, or it won't be long before the output value of what we produce will exceed more than half of what we throw away!

"Do not be discouraged, brothers, do not think that the other brothers have improved over the years, but you are fooling around where you are...... Your contributions are no worse than others, not to mention anything else, you have created a wealth worth 500 million US dollars for us, and laid a solid foundation for our An Jiajun to have today's lofty position in the world! So, every single one of you is a big hero in my mind! ”

Zeng Changhe, Liu Yifang and others had proud smiles on their faces, and the original thoughts of being aggrieved and unwilling disappeared at this moment.

An Yi looked at the generals and colonies, suddenly stood up, took out a document, and read it aloud: "Order No. 28 of the Central Military Commission in 1942——"

When the generals in the audience heard this, they immediately stood up, standing up straight and looking at An Yi intently.

An Yi nodded, and continued:

"In order to commend the officers and men of the Southwest Coalition Army for their selflessness and outstanding dedication, on the basis of the three armies of the Southwest Coalition Army, the Central Military Commission specially organized the Fourth and Fifth Guards Armies.

"The Fourth Guards Army, Commander Zeng Changhe, Political Commissar Liu Yifang, Deputy Commander Li Yunfeng, Chief of Staff Zhong Zhiyuan, all of the above personnel were awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of An Jiajun...... Guards Fifth Group Army, Commander Wei Yangxin, Political Commissar Lu Ping, Deputy Commander Li Dingfang, Chief of Staff Liu Qingrong, all of the above personnel were awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of An Jiajun......"

After An Yi read out the appointment of divisional and regimental cadres, he added:

"The Guards Group Army is a trump card unit directly under the Central Military Commission, which means blood and loyalty, the military flag is oriented, and it is invincible and invincible...... The Fourth and Fifth armies were both armoured with five divisions, each of which was in principle organized into one tank regiment, two armored infantry regiments, one armored artillery regiment, and three reconnaissance, engineer, and antiaircraft artillery battalions directly under the division, which were the same as those of the German armored divisions......"

As soon as An Yi's voice fell, there was silence in the conference room at first, and then there was warm applause, all the participating generals were emotional, how many years have they been looking forward to, and finally waited for the day of return, and the organization also gave high-standard treatment, what is more exciting and happy than this?
