Chapter 1503: The Opportunity to Reclaim the Far East

At half past nine in the evening, the study room of the West Garden of Xufu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lyuschenkov and An Yi sat face to face, two cups of tea and some fresh fruit from Syria on the coffee table in the middle. Lyuschenkov peeled an orange, threw a few petals in his mouth, felt the sweet taste, and sighed pleasantly: "It's better to be in the south, the temperature is suitable, the products are abundant, and you can eat all kinds of things at any time, and it is completely different from Siberia and the Far East." ā€

An Yi smiled slightly: "Since the teacher likes it, this time I will stay for a while, walk around, choose some local products that are not available in the Far East, and bring more back." Our friendship has been cultivated through mutual cooperation and joint fighting, which is not comparable to an ordinary alliance of interests, and now that the Far East is also the only country that has established diplomatic relations with South China, it is time for our bilateral leaders to go more, and I would like to let our prime minister lead an economic and trade delegation to visit the Far East next month! ā€

Lyshenkov looked pleased: "An Yi, you are very good, I am the most talented and accomplished among the students I have taught, originally when I was in Huangpu, I accepted you as a student just by chance, and I want to dial you at will, but your strong desire for knowledge and sponge-like learning ability is irresistible to every teacher, I can't stop, and in a short period of time I will teach me all my skills." You are very good, as a fourth-term student of Whampoa, you can come to this point, which proves that my vision is not wrong. ā€

Speaking of this, Lyuschenkov saw that An Yi was about to speak, and stopped him: "You listen to me and finish speaking...... In the reception room of the Syrian Governor, you asked me what I was doing here, but I didn't explain it, and then I took my wife and daughter to the West Garden for dinner, and I never mentioned my purpose during this time. I've been silently observing, are you still the kind-hearted An Yi who was always honest with people? Will you be able to accept our kindness and will it scare you away? If one day, my comrades-in-arms and I pass away, will you still fulfill the important task entrusted to us? ā€

Lyshenkov's words surprised An Yi: "Teacher, is something wrong?" From the first time I saw you, your mental state has been very poor and you are described as haggard...... Don't neglect your body for work! ā€

Lyshenkov waved his hand, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "An Yi, I will ask you the first question now: if our Far East, as an ally, asks you to send troops to attack Kazakhstan together with our Far East Army until the five Central Asian republics are pacified, are you willing?" ā€

An Yi did not hesitate: "Of course! This is an obligation that must be fulfilled as an ally. Recently, I have also been pondering the war situation in the Far East and Moscow, judging from the current situation, in the Central Asian region in the south of Siberia, there are two major military regions, the Turkestan Military District and the Central Asian Military District, which are directly under the command of Moscow, plus the Red Army located in Xinjiang, which can gather up to one million troops. It will bring unparalleled pressure on both sides, so it is imperative to resolve the enemy in Central Asia, and we will certainly go all out and will not pass the buck. ā€

Lyuschenkov nodded, and then asked: "I will now ask the second question: When we are suffering serious difficulties and our troops are stretched, can you accept it when we entrust you with all the Central Asian war situation and send troops north?" Of course, we will sign a diplomatic agreement and send a telegram as a sovereign state to the outside world declaring that Central Asia has been China's territory since ancient times, and that we are only respecting the relevant provisions of the Versailles system and allowing Central Asia to return to the motherland. ā€

An Yi's mouth opened wide in surprise: "This ...... Will this work? It's been a long time since Russia conquered Central Asia, and we don't have a good reason to do that...... I don't think the Nanjing government has the courage to accept such a 'return', and even I am beating the drum in my heart, after all, this is too risky. ā€

"I didn't expect An Yi, who has always been bold, to feel scared?"

Lyuschenkov smiled rarely: "Don't worry, we do this, naturally we have our reasons." In fact, we have a large number of historical documents to prove that Central Asia belongs to China. Historically, the Turkic peoples of the steppes of northern China were once canonized by the Han and Tang dynasties, and later these people moved westward to Central Asia, causing the peoples and tribes there to lose their own languages and become Turkic-speaking Turkic people. China's Tang Dynasty had established the Anxi Protectorate there, and then added the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to implement the effective management of Central Asia, the Tang Dynasty culture began to be popular there, the greatest poet in Chinese history, Li Bai, was born and grew up in the broken leaves of Central Asia, it is conceivable that the Sinology of Central Asia has reached a certain height.

"During the Yuan Dynasty, the Chinese central government directly incorporated Central Asia into its territory, which will not be denied in the history books of any country! Even now, about one-third of the 11 million Dungan people in Central Asia still speak Mandarin, which is similar to the dialects of China's Gansu and Shaanxi regions. ā€

An Yi had a feeling of nervous confusion, he never thought that Lyuschenkov would seriously argue with him the inevitability that Central Asia belongs to China, is the world crazy? Where is there a person who pushes his own land outward, and is also one of the top leaders of a country.

Lyuschenkov looked at An Yi solemnly: "Wait and I will tell my reasons, before that, I just want to ask you, are you willing or unwilling to accept Central Asia?" ā€

An Yi turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said: "Bastard doesn't want to, but this is not something that can be solved just by thinking, there are too many problems to consider, I ......"

"Don't chirp crookedly, just if you want to...... So you are confident that after our joint strikes, the total number of enemies will probably have dropped to 400,000 to 500,000? Lyuschenkov continued to ask.

An Yi carefully calculated the power in his hand, and after a long while, he nodded violently.

Lyshenkov smiled with relief: "It's good if you can hold on, and we will try our best to create conditions for you to hold on......"

An Yi always felt that Lyushenkov's mental state was abnormal, and asked with some concern: "Teacher, nothing happened, why do I always think that what you said is strange, as if you are entrusting the future." ā€

Lyuschenkov sighed faintly and did not answer, but asked again: "What if...... Of course, I'm just talking about if, if the Far Eastern Republic is gone, and we, the division commanders who are close to you, are also gone, An Yi, can you guarantee that you will take proper care of the relatives we have entrusted to you? I estimate that by that day, there will be no more than 10 million people left in the entire Far East, or even 5 million, and it is very likely that these people will all retreat into Central Asia, which is already nominally part of China or South China, can you guarantee their safety? In an existential situation, is it even allowed for them to retreat into Mongolia to gain a way out? ā€

Hearing this, even if An Yi was sluggish, he knew that something big was going to happen, his eyes were red, and he looked at Lyuschenkov excitedly: "Teacher, you have to tell me what happened, why are you so pessimistic, before that, I refuse to answer any of your questions." ā€

Lyuschenkov insisted: "No, you have to answer my questions before we can continue the topic, otherwise, tonight I didn't mention anything, and I will leave by plane early tomorrow morning." ā€

An Yi was at a loss now, he thought about it seriously, and finally nodded: "Teacher, I swear to you in my personality that if there really is such a day, I will do everything I can to take care of your families and save all the people of the Far Eastern Republic who are in danger, and never let them die in a barbaric and shameless massacre!" ā€

Lyuschenkov nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy, I can trust your words, in fact, before I came to you, we had a dispute with the top leaders of the Far East, but I, with you, Mr. Gallen, Mr. Vasily, and Mr. Hulin, all insisted that only you can be trusted, and the promises of any other country and any government can be regarded as bullshit!" ā€

An Yihui didn't speak, just looked at Lyuschenkov quietly, waiting for him to pick out the topic.

Lyuschenkov smiled bitterly, organized his thoughts, and then officially entered the topic:

"At the emergency session of the National Congress of the Central Committee of the Subu in January, Stalin made an opening speech, in which he declared: The enemies hidden within us or split from within us are more terrible than the external enemies, because they have all the secrets of the Soviets, know the weaknesses of the Soviets and know how to use them, therefore, such traitors must be eliminated mentally and mentally. However, we must not engage in political purges and escalate the problem because of this, and the tragedy of Yezhov must not be repeated in our Soviets, and we must be soberly aware of who are our enemies, the soldiers who ran out of ammunition and food and were deceived into surrendering when quelling the rebellion in the Far East? Is it the Siberian population who had to succumb to the thunderous offensive of the Far Eastern Army? No, they are just temporarily confused, trapped in the lies carefully constructed by the traitors, and for these people, we should mobilize their relatives to write letters to them in line with the principle of curing the sick and saving people, warning them that there is still room for recovery, as long as they can wake up in time, we can give them a chance to mend their ways, and if they are bent on thieves, no one can save them and their families. And those traitors from the Far East, including the degenerated Slavs, Tatars, Chinese, Koreans, Mongols, we will never forgive, because they have degenerated, are plotting against the Soviets, plotting to overthrow our government, to split our Soviet Union, to bring our toiling masses back under the control of the capitalists and to lose the minimum dignity of human beings. As for the traitors in the Far East and the obstinate counter-revolutionaries who may exist in Siberia, their relatives in the Soviets, going back three generations, they will all be sent to concentration camps for reform, and all hidden dangers must be eliminated! In this righteous and bright way, we will show that it is shameful to oppose the Soviets, that there will be no forgiveness, and that the Far Easterners and unrepentant counter-revolutionaries will regret their betrayals for the rest of their lives! ā€

After listening to Lyuschenkov's narration of Stalin's wild words, An Yi was not surprised, divisive, bribery, and sowing discord were originally the most commonly used methods in warfare. You must know that out of the 27 million people in the Far Eastern Republic, there are only 13 million in the Far East, and the remaining 14 million are Siberians and Soviet soldiers captured in previous battles.

Lyuschenkov continued: "After Stalin's threat, he used the darkness of night as a cover to send a large number of warplanes over the Far East, dropping leaflets, and sending a special task force of about tens of thousands of people, dressed in snow-white camouflage, to enter the Siberian region from Central Asia and the northern front of the Ural Mountains to carry out a public opinion offensive. Due to the limited number of troops, we can only occupy the main passages and passes in the Urals and the border areas with Central Asia, and it is impossible to block the entire border line. After the escapees were captured at the border, they also made a statement that they had relatives in the Soviet Union and that they could not ignore their suffering with their own eyes. If we are truly liberators, why don't we let them go? ā€

An Yi couldn't help but ask, "What did the Far East do about it?" ā€

Lyuschenkov smiled bitterly: "What else can be done? Let people go! We can't learn from Stalin's butcher methods, and by now about 2,000 people have been released across the border, and I believe that the number of people fleeing will increase in the future. In addition, there is also a trend of instability in the troops, and many commanders and fighters who have joined us after ideological transformation have been shaken; if it were not for the fact that the barracks are different from the localities and are tightly controlled, it is estimated that deserters would have appeared. In view of this situation, we have begun to transfer the commanders and fighters who were captured later into our army to the Far East to help defend the Primorsky zone, and from the Primorsky and Amur places, we have begun to transfer trustworthy troops to Siberia. ā€

An Yi was taken aback: "What if they are instigated to start a rebellion in the Far East?" We have about 9 million Chinese immigrants in the coastal area, and if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable. ā€

Lyuschenkov nodded: "Before that, we have always maintained a one-to-one troop deployment, that is, the number of our troops in the Far East and the number of troops mobilized from Siberia, at least maintain a ratio of one to one, which plays a role of surveillance. Originally, as long as we had a firm grip on Siberia, there should be no problems. But ......"

Seeing Lyuschenkov shaking his head and sighing, An Yi asked eagerly: "But what? ā€

"Now the situation has taken a terrible turn, the Moscow side has secretly reached an agreement with the Japanese side that the Far East will be ceded to Japan, and as for Siberia, it will be distributed on the principle that whoever gets it first gets it."

An Yi felt as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights: "Teacher, according to what I know about Stalin, it is unlikely that he will reach such an almost humiliating agreement with Japan, not to mention Siberia, even if it is the Far East, he will not give it to Japan!" ā€

Lyuschenkov smiled bitterly: "An Yi, do you think I will joke about this kind of thing?" You don't know Stalin at all, he is a man of interest who knows how to forbearance and retreat at critical moments. In his eyes, if Siberia and the Far East were in our hands, then the Soviets might really remain divided, but if they were in the hands of the Japanese, he could tear up the agreement at any time and send troops to recover Siberia and the Far East as long as the international situation changed dramatically. Stalin never had the Japanese army in mind, all he needed was the Japanese to pull us on the sidelines, so that he could take back Siberia, and when the imminent threat was lifted, it was only a matter of time before the Far East was recovered. ā€

Seeing that An Yi still looked incredulous, Lyuschenkov said angrily: "There is a precedent in history. At the time when the Soviets were just established, Comrade Lenin, in order to end the war as soon as possible, signed the "Brest-Litovsk Treaty" with Germany, ceding 3.23 million square kilometers of territory to Germany, so that the nascent Soviet power lost 50 million inhabitants at once, and the ceded areas had 90 percent of the country's coal mining, 73 percent of iron ore, 54 percent of industry, and 33 percent of the total economic output of the railways. Moreover, it was necessary to pay reparations to Germany in the amount of six billion marks, what a humiliating treaty?

"But what was the result? Less than a year later, Germany was defeated in the European War, and the Soviets immediately abrogated the treaty and sent troops to regain the region. Comrade Lenin was not only not blamed, but was regarded as his successful diplomacy of exchanging space for time, making full use of the contradictions in the world, giving the nascent Soviet power time to consolidate and creating favorable conditions for maintaining it thereafter. Moreover, the success of this compromise diplomacy brought Comrade Lenin's personal prestige to its peak.

"If you think about it, if Stalin had used this opportunity to quell the internal and external turmoil, especially to remove the threat from Nazi Germany, and successfully recover Siberia and the Far East, who would dare to accuse him? Moreover, with this time as a buffer, he can also use his brains in Poland and the Baltic periphery, saying that he may not necessarily pull a few more independent countries to join the Soviet Union, then his achievements may not be worse than Comrade Lenin's! ā€

Now An Yi finally understood, and said with a wry smile: "So, the Japanese will send troops to the Far East in the near future?" ā€

Lyuschenkov sighed: "Our intelligence officers, hidden in the top echelons of the Soviets, have issued a serious warning that by April at the latest, Japan will move to the Far East. The Japanese side has promised to send no less than 30 divisions, 20 mixed brigades, and 30 independent mixed brigades to participate in the Far East operation. ā€

An Yi nodded: "I now understand why the teacher is so pessimistic." The Far East is suffering from internal and external troubles, the army is unstable, it is already difficult to face the attack of Moscow, and I have to face the Japanese like wolves and tigers, even I will feel at a loss! ā€

Lyuschenkov forced a smile: "Not only the Japanese, but also the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai, who was supported by Soviet Russia, was also asked by the Kremlin to lead 100,000 Xinjiang troops into Kazakhstan to fight against us, and now the Far East is already a big ship that may sink at any time, how can I feel good in this situation?" ā€

An Yi's mood is also extremely heavy, if the Far Eastern Republic dies, then the newly recovered Mongolia and Central Asia, which only exists on paper, will bear the pressure of the Soviet Union and Japan alone, and whether it can hold on will become an unknown.

Presumably seeing An Yi's doubts, Lyuschenkov introduced the countermeasures taken by the army and government in the Far East:

"Since the Japanese army had already opened up communication between Korea and Manchuria and the coastal area at the end of last year, once the war began, the Japanese army would be able to conveniently break through the defense of our army in the Zhanggufeng area, drive straight into Vladivostok, and create conditions for its naval landing. What we need to consider now is that due to the limited number of troops, we can only choose one defensive focus on Moscow and Japan.

"If we choose to abandon Siberia, the Japanese will be blocked in the coastal area and will not be able to advance, at the cost of Siberia being occupied by Moscow and Mongolia facing the threat of the Soviet Red Army; If we abandon the Far East, then the Moscow side will be blocked in the Ural Mountains and will not be able to advance, and the consequence will be that the Japanese army will drive straight in, kill all the way from the Far East to Siberia, and finally, together with the Moscow side, encircle our army in the Ural Mountains, but at the cost that Siberia will fall into the hands of the Japanese. ā€

An Yi nodded again and again, according to the 13 million population of the Far East (except for Siberia), it is not surprising that such a situation has occurred, after all, Siberia and the Far East are too vast, and the result of the deployment of the two defenses will be that both places will be breached, and the speed of collapse will be even faster than focusing on defense.

"At our high-level internal meetings, there were a lot of people who supported both programs, and in the end, it was the comrades who supported the front line of the Ural Mountains to win, do you know why?"

Facing Lyshenkov's gaze, An Yi groaned slightly, and already had an answer in his heart, and replied calmly: "It should be for the safety of more than 10 million people in the Far East, right?" If Japan is a wolf, then Moscow is a lion, and Mongolia, which is responsible for saving people, still has the strength to fight against the wolf, but there is nothing to do against the lion! Moreover, the Japanese occupation of the Far East and Siberia was more advantageous than the murderous declaration of Moscow. If we take West Asia before then, there will be more room for turning around in the middle...... But teacher, why don't you consider retreating to Kazakhstan and making a comeback there? ā€

Lyuschenkov said bitterly: "Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people? However, if we do not die, Stalin will not give up the attack on the Far Eastern republics and the hunt for the survivors, and we and our loved ones will live in fear for the rest of our lives. Rather than that, it is better to stay in the Urals and fight to the death. We think it's worth sacrificing those of us who are going to die to save the lives of the vast majority! Stalin must have bought more than a spy by our side, and he would only be relieved if he saw our corpse in person! That's why we decided to entrust our loved ones to you, because you are the only person we can trust! ā€

An Yi was in a heavy mood, he didn't know what to say, and his eyes were a little moist for a while.

Seeing An Yi's emotional expression, Lyuschenkov couldn't help but wonder: "What are you crying about, in fact, as early as August last year, we should have died, and almost all of our high-level leaders in the Far East were spared in the list of purge at that time, so we let go and lived for a few more months, what can't we see?" ā€

Speaking of this, Lyuschenkov smiled: "An Yi, before the mountains and rivers are exhausted, on behalf of the Far Eastern government, on the grounds of fulfilling Comrade Lenin's commitments, we will sign an agreement with you to transfer all rights and interests, including Siberia and the Far East, so that you will have the legal basis to seize the rights and interests of Siberia and the Far East from the Japanese." How's that, this pie is big enough, right? However, you have to have the strength to fight for it, otherwise it will be just a dead letter, useless! ā€

An Yi was sad in his heart, and he couldn't be happy, so he looked at Lyuschenkov and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.
