Chapter 423: Organizing a Training Camp
The Tacheng military training camp is the largest of the many training camps in the cooperation project between the two sides, and it is surrounded by high mountains, with fortifications built on the mountains and a wide center. Barracks, training grounds, shooting ranges, etc., are all available, which can accommodate 10,000 soldiers at the same time. In fact, there are already more than 4,000 Russians here, and they have been undergoing military training for more than a year, and more are being added to the training camp all the time.
Organize personnel in Russia to develop their strength and grow in size, and send young people to military training camps in Xinjiang, Mongolia and Heilongjiang through secret lines of communication. In addition, some outstanding personnel were sent to the Huaguo Military Academy for further study, so as to lay a good foundation for organizing revolutionary activities in the future. The young men of these training camps were one of the greatest dependents of the armed forces Yanov, who, according to his plan, organized the instigation of the masses in the country, the workers' movement, and the tsar's soldiers to mutiny, and then used these defective soldiers to seize power, and used the soldiers in his training camps to consolidate power and ensure that nothing went wrong. At present, the revolutionary movement in the country is proceeding smoothly, the serfs and workers are being oppressed by the aristocracy, a large number of soldiers are being conscripted to the front lines of the war, and the oil wealth is occupied by the aristocracy, who spend all their days and drinks, but the war expenses are imposed on the common people, making their lives even more difficult.
In this environment, 35,000 well-trained soldiers have been trained in 35 large and small military training camps, and more than 100 officers are receiving military training from China in military academies. According to the plan, the organization needed at least 100,000 training camp soldiers to control the situation in the country and defeat the hostile forces after the revolution was launched.
These 100,000 soldiers are not a small number, manpower is easy to solve, there are serfs and workers in the country who do not have enough to eat, as long as they pay a little price, they can be brought to the territory of China, and then the brainwashing is even simpler, it is nothing more than a process of repeating and repeating.
However, the construction of the training camp, the supply of materials, instructors, teaching materials, weapons and ammunition, etc., were completely provided by the Chinese military, such as rifles, machine guns, infantry guns and ammunition. In general, the expenses of the training camp are not what the organization is able to pay for now, and the agreement between the armed forces of Yanov and the Huaxia military is that all the expenses of the training camp will be borne by Huaxia, and after the success of the revolutionary uprising, Huaxia will own Kazakhstan, and Huaxia will also provide loans of more than 20 million Chinese yuan to the armed forces Yanov's organization for the purchase of weapons and ammunition and revolutionary insurrectionary activities.
There were many people within the organization who opposed this agreement, but they were all suppressed by force of Yanov, and only Steel and Trotsky understood his intentions - the agreement was meant to be torn up, a piece of paper could not explain anything, and when the organization refused to fulfill the agreement after the success of the revolution, would China have the audacity to start a war? Just take back Mongolia, Xinjiang and Manchuria!
The Slavs are the best people in the world and can defeat any enemy as long as they are led by a good leader and organization. Now the sinking of Mother Russia is due to the decay of the tsar and the nobility, it would be nice to change the leader.
"Welcome, Comrade Steel!" He was greeted at the gate of the training camp by a tall, bearded strong man who was the head of the Russian soldiers in this training camp, Budyonny, who was not yet thirty years old. Born as a Cossack, he became acquainted with the armed forces Yanov in Siberia and later joined the organization and became one of the military chiefs. After the training camp was established, he recruited more than 300 Cossacks to the Tacheng training camp, and asked the Chinese military to provide war horses, and he wanted to establish a Cossack cavalry regiment. With the increase in numbers, the Cossack cavalry regiment has grown to more than five hundred people. Another 3,000 infantrymen were also undergoing orthodox military training, and after a brief review, Iron and Steel believed that these cavalry and infantry were much more powerful than the army of the Tsarist Empire, in terms of military quality, military appearance, and weaponry.
The assistant and Chen Qingtong could not bear the fatigue of the long journey, so they went to the dormitory arranged by the military camp early to rest, while Iron and Steel consulted with him in Budyonny's office.
"Comrade Force-Yanov is very concerned about the situation here, you are the key to the victory of the revolution and the guarantee of the overthrow of the Tsarist Empire by our organization. Comrade Budyonny, you are tired! ”
"The supplies provided by the Huaxia military are quite sufficient, they will transport supplies by truck every once in a while, and there are also people from the Huaxia military in the training camp who serve as instructors, liaison officers and ammunition custodians. In addition to the barracks and training grounds, there is also a recreation center where soldiers can relax after intense training. ”
Steel nodded, and what he saw proved that the soldiers were indeed living well: "Is there any difficulty?" ”
"Yes!" Budyonny is also a cheerful person: "It is very difficult for our people to get here from the European part of Russia, the distance is long, there are not many supply points along the way, there is no railway on the Kazakh steppe, unlike Siberia, you can go directly by train. Of the 1,000 people who set out, 500 made it to the camp well, and the rest either fled, fell ill and died, or ran into bandits. Moreover, it is also a question of how the more than 10,000 soldiers in the four training camps in Xinjiang will return to Russia at the beginning of the revolution, and it is better to have sufficient horses and supplies, and even if they return unharmed, these more than 10,000 soldiers will need at least two days to rest. ”
Steel pondered for a while, and then said: "The problem of supplies and horses can be solved now, I can make a request to the Chinese military now, they can't ask for our Kazakh steppe for nothing." As for the question of the long distance from Europe to get here, I propose to recruit soldiers from among the herdsmen of the Kazakh steppe, who are also victims of tsarism and, although not belonging to the Slavs, can compensate for the shortage of our soldiers in a short time. In addition, I can ask the Chinese side to provide a certain number of trucks to transport those soldiers who are participating in the training camp in the Kazakh steppe, I believe that the speed can be increased. ”
"Hahahaha! It is worthy of Comrade Steel, your suggestion is very good, I think it will be done, this time I have wronged you to stay in this big Gobi, we also have a high-power radio station here, the quality of Huaxia's electronic products is really good, durable, reliable, and the communication quality is still very good, I suggest that they provide a batch for us to use. ”
"By the way, I think of a thing, I wonder if Comrade Budyonny knows?"
"Tell me about it!"
"Do you know how many troops the Chinese military has in Xinjiang?"
"I can't say, but at least the strength of one army group, I have seen jeeps with army group logos, as for how many army groups there are, I don't know. Aren't they at war with the United States and Japan now, and they will definitely transfer their main forces to the Pacific Ocean, what, is there anything to worry about? ”
"I don't know, I always feel like there's something wrong." Steel's mouth picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot strong tea, and his spirit seemed to be much better, and the fatigue of the journey dissipated with the tea. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Budyonny didn't disturb his thinking, just waited quietly, for this person who accompanied Yanov by the side of the armed forces, Budyonny looked down on him at first, the steel from a Georgian peasant family is not necessarily an orthodox Russian! However, the conversation just now made Budyonny look at steel, this person is quick-thinking, strong-willed, and strong-believed, and he is a good talent!
Suddenly, Steel opened his eyes, and his gaze was blazing: "Comrade Budyonny, do you think that China will attack Russia?" ”
"Comrade Steel, did you think of something, go on!"
"Huaxia has built a large-scale industrial base in Xinjiang, built a complete transportation network, and deployed heavy troops here. There are similar situations in Mongolia and Northeast China, and from a strategic point of view, this is obviously the rhythm of war preparations. They supported us regardless of the cost, providing countless funds, materials, weapons, ammunition and intelligence, and greatly expanding our forces on all fronts, in order to make trouble for the Tsar. Thinking further, they may have plans to take advantage of our revolutionary uprising, the tsarist army is concentrated on the western front, and the forces of St. Petersburg are contained by us, so that they can easily break through the border defense line and include Central Asia and even the whole of Siberia! ”
Budyonny was also aware of the seriousness: "Nicholas II had been deploying heavy troops in the border areas, and even when the war broke out on the Western Front, he did not transfer heavy troops from Siberia and Central Asia back to Europe. Moreover, Central Asia and Siberia have a long road, is the Chinese army capable of breaking through the border defense line and supplying the army on tens of thousands of kilometers of roads? ”
"I don't know, Huaxia is always full of mysteries, maybe they have the ability to solve these problems. In short, we cannot rule out this possibility, and we must not allow our revolution to become an accomplice in the seizure of Russian territory by China! I'll send a telegram to Comrade Yanov and ask him to think about it! ”
When the armed forces Yanov received the secret telegram from steel, he couldn't help but laugh, didn't he know that the equipment and the telegraph relay station were all Chinese, and even if they were encrypted, they would be easily cracked. But it doesn't matter much, his cooperation with Hua Guo is just to take what they need, and he has also thought about the future war, as long as he can go that far, what is the price to pay? The land that has been taken away will always be taken back one day. (To be continued.) )
