Chapter 1516 A Great Change

Under the guidance of the officers and men of the motorized infantry regiment, who had left Xiao Wu to guard the prisoners and the main strategic points, one after another silver transport planes landed one after another on the runway of the Semipaldinsk airport.

After the assembly was completed, the officers and men of the armed police of a squadron took over the defense of the airport in an overall way from the officers and men of the motorized infantry regiment stationed at the airport.

The communications squadron immediately set up four radar vehicles, set up radio stations, laid communication lines, and connected wires at the airport, and in just 10 minutes, the airport command center set up in the control tower was completed.

Lieutenant General Huang Yingwu, deputy director of the General Political Department, who was the chairman of the receiving committee, came to the airport control tower and immediately made radio contact with the Western Front Command, the Mongolian Military District, and the South China Headquarters. At the same time, the officers and men of the Armed Police Corps began to control the main communication routes in the city, and officially took over the defense of Semipaldinsk from the Far Eastern Army.

An hour later, the second wave of transport planes arrived.

This time, experienced cadres of the *** corps were drawn from all over South China, southern Yunnan, and Syria, and volunteers from various universities who were proficient in Turkic and Russian, including some Jews and Belarusian students. After the armed police force brought the situation under control, the cadres and volunteers of the *** corps, with the cooperation of the political workers sent by the Far Eastern Army, went deep into the towns and villages, and went door-to-door to visit and register their household registration.

It was very simple to carry out land reform in Central Asia, where everything was owned by the Soviets, because after more than 20 years of uninterrupted purges, the Russian royal family, the religious monasteries, the Bayi landlords, the usury merchants, and the wealthy peasants who owned a lot of land in the old Russian era were all overthrown, and all the land was publicly owned.

In order to quickly win the hearts and minds of the people and increase the enthusiasm of farmers and herdsmen in production, An Jiajun implemented a land policy in Central Asia in which land is owned by the state but private contractors are allowed.

In order to increase the production enthusiasm of farmers and herdsmen, the government also allows free trade among the people, but the purchase price of agricultural and animal husbandry products by the government will be slightly higher than the market price by 10 percent, and if the price is too low to protect the capital, it will even purchase at 20 to 30 percent of the market price, so as to fully ensure the sustainable production of farmers and herdsmen. The government will set up rural credit unions to provide farmers and herdsmen with low-interest loans and high-yield crop seeds, and agricultural machinery and tools can also be rented from the credit unions, and only a small amount of agricultural products will be used to offset the rental costs after the harvest in the future.

In dealing with issues such as ethnicity and religious belief in Central Asia, the An Jiajun also picked up a big bargain this time.

As early as after the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union began to devote itself to the work of ethnic division, and adopted the demarcation of borders and the establishment of republics in areas with a large number of main ethnic groups, so that various ethnic groups changed from a mixed state of residence to various ethnic groups gathered together and lived in different regions, which greatly facilitated the management of Soviet power, and at the same time politically eliminated the strong influence of Islam in Central Asia.

It is important to know that no matter who ruled Central Asia nominally, there has never been a unified political entity, and only a certain degree of "unity" has been maintained by the common Islamic faith, so Islam has always played a pivotal role in the political life of the region.

The people of Central Asia have always appeared on the political scene as unified Muslims, which is extremely detrimental to the rule of any regime. The Soviet Union deliberately divided this "whole" into several nationalities, and the unified church was thus divided into several unsubordinate parts, which greatly facilitated the Soviet regime's rule over the ethnic groups. At the same time, after the various ethnic groups lived separately, cultural differences gradually emerged, and began to attack the traditional political unity of Central Asia, that is, the Islamic faith, pan-Islamism, and pan-Turkism. By the mid-20s, the division was basically completed, and more than 10 years later, all the ethnic groups in Central Asia had developed their own distinctive "national cultures" and eliminated their negative influences.

After the establishment of the Soviet regime, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union has been committed to fighting national separatism, and many stubborn nationalists and religious ists have been purged, and now, the Bolshevik organizations in the Central Asian countries that have carried out the purge policy have also been purged on a large scale within the party, leaving the Anjia Army in an area where ideology and culture are temporarily blank. Moreover, there are only five or six million people in the entire Central Asian region, and there is no problem at all with 10 million or 20 million Chinese immigrants being randomly resettled on 4 million square kilometers of land. With the three-to-one population advantage of the Chinese and other ethnic groups, it is only necessary to properly guide and communicate with each other, and it is not difficult to achieve the goal of great ethnic integration.

In order to calm the hearts of the people in Central Asia, the An Jiajun adopted a policy of freedom of religious belief and would not interfere with personal beliefs, but religion must be separated from politics and religion should not be allowed to interfere in the operation of the regime and the army, otherwise it would be banned and closed down in accordance with the law. As for the ethnic policy, this point was deliberately vague by An Jiajun, emphasizing that no matter what nationality people are, they are all citizens of South China, enjoy all political and economic power, and there is no distinction between high and low, and any acts of racial discrimination will be severely cracked down on and sanctioned, and in serious cases, they will even be publicly sentenced to death.

Although the land is vast and sparsely populated, after the completion of the First and Second Five-Year Plans, Central Asia has built a network of railways and highways extending in all directions, and built industrial facilities such as coal mills, oil fields, metal smelters, copper smelters, lead smelters, tanneries, cotton mills, silk reeling factories, sugar factories, canning factories, oil factories, cement factories, and salt chemical plants.

However, it should be pointed out that almost all of the people working in these factories are Russians who temporarily live in Central Asia, and very few local people enter the factories to work as workers, so the industrial development in Central Asia has not brought any improvement to the living standards of the local people, but because of the tight supply and demand of food, meat and other materials, the living conditions have shown a downward and deteriorating trend.

The measures taken by the An Jiajun were to gather all the Russian workers and hand them over to the Far Eastern Army, which arranged and disposed of them. The Far Eastern Republic pursued almost the same economic and political policy as the Soviet Union, with the only difference being that it emphasized collective leadership and could not be convicted of its words and engage in a wide-ranging purge of rebellion. It is believed that after going through strict political scrutiny, the living environment is almost the same, which helps to adapt quickly.

An Jiajun specially dispatched a large number of engineers and skilled workers from southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan to train the aborigines in the cities according to their personal wishes, and then arrange for them to take up jobs, so that the local people can truly enjoy the benefits of industrialization, increase their income, and improve their lives.

Then there is the issue of education.

As early as after the establishment of Soviet power in Central Asia, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union held that the Arabic alphabet was inseparable from Islam and had actually become an evil tool of Islam to control the social life of the inhabitants of Central Asia, which was not conducive to the spread of new Soviet ideas and culture.

In addition, Afghanistan and Iran, which are adjacent to Central Asia, as well as Turkey, the "center" of modern Islam and Turkic-speaking peoples, all use the Arabic alphabet, which provides great convenience for religious forces to penetrate into Central Asia.

As a result, the Soviet regime began to forcibly implement the Latin alphabet in Central Asia, and then replaced the Latin alphabet with 32 Russian Cyrillic alphabets, and the Cyrillic alphabet was widely popularized and used, and a large number of Russian words entered the languages of the inhabitants of various ethnic groups in Central Asia, and the vocabulary of Turkic and Chinese declined rapidly. After more than 20 years of forced implementation, most of the ethnic groups in Central Asia now use Russian to communicate, while Chinese and Turkic languages are limited to family or tribal use, and are gradually declining.

This time, An Jiajun adopted the doctrine of taking it, and still adopted the method of marking the pronunciation with the Latin alphabet implemented by the Soviet regime, forcibly promoting Chinese teaching, stipulating that Chinese is the first mother tongue, and if the skilled workers working in the factory are still unable to speak in Chinese within a year, then they will enter a six-month probationary period, and if they are still unable to use Chinese proficiently during the inspection period, they will be fired from the factory, and they will not be able to resume employment until they master Chinese. At the same time, farmers and herders must also master the Chinese language, and if they are unable to use it after a two-year preparatory period, they will be greatly limited in terms of credit and selling agricultural products to the government at high prices.

At the same time, in primary schools where three-year compulsory education is conducted, only Chinese is taught, English and Russian are optional in middle schools, and Latin, French, and Turkic are provided at universities.

Another point is that as long as the Chinese in Central Asia firmly occupy the majority of the population, it will not be long before all the whole of Central Asia will be converted to Chinese, just as they are learning to speak Russian.

The series of policies formulated by the General Political Department of the An Jiajun seem to be very good, but they still need to be verified through the practice in Semypaldinsk. If you can get broad support in a short period of time, it proves to be effective, and if you can, you need to review it carefully.

......

Yan'an, the dialogue in the cave of Yangjialing at the foot of Pagoda Mountain is still continuing.

"At this time last year, the Western Route Army, composed of more than 20,000 Red Army commanders and fighters, was besieged by the warlords Ma Bufang, Ma Buqing and Ma Hongkui in Qinghai, Gansu and Ningxia, and was defeated in the Hexi Corridor.

"At the beginning of this year, in view of the increasingly serious situation in Central Asia, Moscow, after consulting the opinions of our Central Committee, issued an order to secretly purge the three horses to Sheng Shicai and the troops stationed in the country. Subsequently, he eliminated a regiment of Ma Bufang set up in the area at Dacaotan, west of Jiayuguan.

"Two weeks ago, the coalition forces opened a gold mining site set up by Ma Bufang on the front line of Shandan and Ling, west of Zhangye, and rescued 2,786 Red Army commanders and fighters of the Western Route Army who had been captured and forced to work as gold miners. The commander of the coalition forces, who was responsible for opening up the lines of communication, did not dare to slack off and immediately reported to Moscow, which in turn got in touch with our central authorities. The Central Committee attaches great importance to it, and after the meeting, it was unanimously agreed that although the whole people are now fighting the war of resistance and the guns are unanimous to the outside world, we are now working together to resist the attack of the Japanese army under the command of Hideki Tojo on the battlefield in Shanxi. However, no one can guarantee that after driving out the Japanese, Chiang Kai-shek will once again wield a butcher's knife against us, so it is very necessary to create a solid base in the northwest.

"At present, Comrade Xu Xiangqian, the former commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, has served as the deputy commander of the 129th Division, and Comrade Wang Shusheng, the deputy commander-in-chief, has been sent by the central government to serve as the commander of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan guerrilla zone, and Comrade Chen Changhao, former chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the West Route Army, is currently under the examination of the Comintern in Moscow, while Dong Zhentang, commander of the Red Fifth Army, and Comrade Sun Yuqing, commander of the Red Ninth Army, died bravely, and Cheng Shicai, commander of the Red 30th Army, and political commissar are still stranded in Moscow. After repeated organizational consideration, it was decided that you, the former commander of the Red Twentieth Army, would take on the heavy responsibility. ”

Speaking of which, he looked at Huang Han: "Comrade Huang Han, are you confident that you will complete the tasks assigned by the organization?" ”

Huang Han saluted solemnly and replied without hesitation: "Report to the chairman, Huang Han resolutely completed the task." ”

** smiled happily: "Huang Han, I like your character, you are full of confidence in the revolutionary cause at any time, your whole body is always full of enthusiasm, and the spirit of revolutionary optimism is fully displayed in you...... Come, let me tell you about the struggle tactics for the development of Ningxia and Gansu and Qinghai......"

** Pointing to the Ningxia Plain in the northwest direction of Shaanxi: "The Japanese army has crossed the Hetao Plain, skimmed along the left side of the Yellow River in the shape of a 'several' river, and moved southward into the Ulan Buhe Desert, the Kubuqi Desert and the Dengkou (present-day Wuhai) in the center of the Ordos Plateau. Therefore, the central authorities have decided to formally set up the Ganqingning Military Region, with you as the commander of the military region, your old partner Li Xiaolong as the political commissar of the military region, and the backbone of the former Red 20 th Army assigned to various departments. Your first task is to quickly cross the Yellow River from Jingyuan, rush to the Gulang line, join the coalition forces, welcome back 2,786 soldiers of the Western Route Army from their hands, and use these fighters as the foundation to create a base area and an anti-Japanese democratic regime. ”

Huang Han nodded frequently against the map and in combination with what the chairman said.

"Huang Han, what do you think about such an arrangement, you can talk to me. You and Xiaolong are my hand-picked generals, and I will help you solve practical difficulties, and when the troops are on the road, it will be troublesome if you want to solve problems. **Seeing Huang Han contemplating his eyebrows and thinking, he seemed to have something to gain, and asked with a smile.

Huang Han organized his thoughts and said slowly:

"Chairman, I think about it like this: The current revolutionary situation is different from two years ago, and the Sino-Japanese contradiction has risen to the main contradiction at present, therefore, in addition to taking over the troops, we must not participate in the attack of the coalition forces on the three horses, because once we are caught, it will become an excuse to attack our *** people, at least we cannot afford the crime of sabotaging the anti-Japanese national united front.

"However, we should not give up food because of choking, and we can use the actions of the coalition forces to create conditions for us to create a solid anti-Japanese base area. As far as I know, before and after the Sino-Japanese war, the Nanjing government reached a package agreement with the Soviet Union to exchange tung oil, pig bristles and other materials for weapons, and built many military stations to store munitions and materials in the Hexi Corridor.

Judging from the situation at that time, if the Sino-Japanese war situation deteriorated, this transportation line would become the most important international supply route for the Nationalist Government. However, the Japanese were blocked by the Anjia army in Songhu and eastern Zhejiang, and later the entire Sino-Japanese war was only limited to Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other northern China, and the government did not suffer a serious blow, and the demand for Soviet aid equipment was not so urgent. Due to the standard of weapons and other reasons, these weapons were not used for a while, and all of them were stored in these military stations and warehouses in the northwest.

"After the split of the Far Eastern republics from the Soviet Union, Moscow was too busy to take care of itself, and the months-long barter military aid program came to an end. By now, it is estimated that except for the three horses in the northwest, everyone else is about to forget about that batch of arms, and we can just use the actions of the coalition forces to take advantage of the robbery, and once the arms are in hand, we have the capital for sustainable development. When the entire Hexi Corridor is in our hands, we can also use the abundant mineral resources in the region to order machine tools and production equipment from Syria to create our own military factory, and then we will be truly invincible. ”

**Very happy: "Okay, you are a yellow man, you actually said the trick I want to give you, yes, yes, your vision and ability are enough to bear the heavy responsibility given by the organization." ”

Speaking of this, ** thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Huang Han, let me tell you another extremely confidential news, just keep it in your ears and remember it in your heart, don't publicize it...... The Far Eastern Army launched a general attack on Central Asia yesterday to remove the threat from the flanks, and the Anjia Army also launched an air attack on the Semipalatinsk region of Kazakhstan at about 8 o'clock this morning, and a major war in Central Asia has officially broken out.

"According to the plan of the Central Committee of the Subu Party, once the Central Asian operation is unfavorable, the eight infantry divisions and five armored regiments of the Soviet Army stationed in the territory of the Soviet Army will be ordered to move westward, because of the fear that after the Red Army leaves, Sheng Shi will fall to An Yi, the Central Committee of Subu requires Sheng Shicai to lead the 100,000 *** army that he has worked hard to build up in recent years into Central Asia to fight against the Far Eastern Army and the Anjia Army, and then the Soviet Army will hand over the control of the Army to the Ganqingning Military Region. Of course, this is just a verbal agreement, and we don't know exactly where the battle will develop, but you have to be mentally prepared, at the critical moment, you have to be able to go up, and don't leave *** to Sanma and other local warlords, understand? ”

"Yes!"

Huang Han was shocked, but there was more excitement and anticipation in his heart.

If there really is such a day, then the entire revolutionary situation will undergo a major change, at least with the support of Soviet Russia, *** already has some basic industrial facilities, if these industrial facilities can really be brought into management, then the strength will also be doubled. And with *** and the Great Northwest as the backing, even if Chiang Kai-shek provoked a civil war after the victory of the war against Japan, ** also has the confidence to accompany him to the end.

The wheel of history has once again deviated from its original track and continues to move forward towards the unknown future.
