Chapter 111: Hitler in a hurry to get out
As Stalin had predicted, when the Soviets completely retreated west of the Yenisei River, China's military operations began to turn inward.
The Chinese bombing is also very interesting, the bridges, dams and other facilities on the Yenisei River are all gone. On the Ob River, however, some communication routes have been preserved in several key places, and even the Tyumen oil fields seem to be deliberately protected by China, and none of them have been damaged, and none of the passages leading to the Middle East have been affected.
The first person to realize China's true intentions was Zhukov, because he was on the front line, how could the Chinese army hide all kinds of strange actions from Zhukov. And Zhukov's report coincided with Stalin's predictions. Subsequently, the commanders of the various battles with the Chinese army reported that the Chinese army was not incapable of annihilating itself, but more to make a warning. With China's strength, it is very easy to hit the Ula Mountain. That is, the Chinese army has no intention of expanding.
Soviet troops swept through Afghanistan, and the Chinese troops in close proximity did not make any movement. The Chinese have been planting trees and grasses all the time, and they seem to be completely unable to tolerate land that is not green. The Balkhash Desert is now said to have disappeared, and the Chinese do not know how to flow the snow water of the Tianshan Mountains into the Moinkum Desert, and then to plant grass and trees. The Moinkum Desert is divided into several pieces by a network of woods and green belts. It seems that the Chinese are in touch with the desert.
The Chinese also guard the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River and Aidar Kurhu, and plant trees and grasses on this basis. All the way to Dushanbe, many cities are almost out of sight. The same is true of the Kazakh hills.
The Chinese also have such benefits, because they oppose the construction of reservoirs. As a result, the flow of passengers from China has increased and is becoming more and more stable. Russians close to the Chinese border also benefited.
China is expanding in a stupid way. That's planting trees. But is planting a tree faster than cutting down a tree? Therefore, on the Chinese border along the Aral Sea, although the residents of China and the Soviet Union often fight because of trees, the border line of the Chinese is becoming clearer and clearer.
The Russians would dig a trench at the edge of the woods and secretly pull out the saplings on this side of the trench. If the Chinese approve of this ditch, they generally won't care, and it's too late for them to plant trees. If it is not recognized, it will be a fight, and the Russians will be beaten badly. So the trench was digging again. After several twists and turns, a default boundary was still fixed.
"As long as you don't annoy the Chinese who plant trees, your world will become peaceful." Because they never leave the woods. ”
This is a ballad sung by some Turkic peoples.
It's not just the common people who don't leave the woods. Chinese troops never left the woods, except for brief assaults. So much so that many Soviet soldiers ran to this side of the woods when they clashed with Chinese soldiers and put down their guns directly. Eat, drink, sing, and dance, and no one cares about you.
The USSR after determining the situation on the Eastern Front. He began to gradually reduce the garrisons on the Sino-Soviet border and took the initiative to negotiate a demilitarized buffer zone with the commanders of the Chinese front. Determine the Line of Actual Control between the parties. Even if this buffer zone was all on the side of the Soviet Union, the Soviets thought it was worth it.
Stalin convinced the country's politicians and generals that the Soviet army's crusade had been successful, and the war had wiped out Japan. Compared with Japan's repeated active attacks, the Chinese rarely attack abroad after the border is determined. Not once in the last few decades. Relative to Japan. China is a good neighbor.
China's current borders, with the exception of the Japanese occupation zone. In Asia, at least, its traditional borders have not yet been breached. In some disputed areas, such as the mouth of the Yaruzanbo River, the Chinese occupied the southern Himalayan basin for a long time without touching the estuary within reach. It was only recently that it was occupied because of the spread of civil war.
There are only two possibilities for the root cause of China's expansion, one is that China can find evidence that this is China's territory. One is that Chinese live here. The latter is the case in North America. And when the Americans drove all the Indians into the mountains. The Chinese did not expand any further. Hawaii is also an example of this.
At the same time as demarcating the borders and withdrawing troops, the Soviet Union opened its ports and encouraged some people of Mongol descent to return to China.
China is also happy to accept it. Anyone who returned to China was greeted with the warmth of a wanderer's homecoming. Of course, China welcomed this kind of policy of the Soviet Union, accepting hundreds of thousands of people was a trivial matter, and the most important thing was to give all its people a sense of belonging. Including Jews, Japanese, Russians and Kazakhs who are now in China, as long as they are recognized by the Chinese, they are all welcomed in and sent out by this kind of Chinese treatment. Whenever a clansman comes back, he is always welcoming and saying hello along the way. This kind of scene is not only on the Sino-Soviet border, but also in South America, and the Indians of South America have been enthusiastic since they stepped on the Chinese ship, and this enthusiasm has often brought tears to the eyes of those who do not even know what China is.
For the Soviet Union, this ancient national sentiment of the Chinese was a feudal backward ideology, far less appealing than the proletarians of the whole world uniting together.
The settled Soviet Union shifted its strategic center to Europe. Just as Su Yu estimated, there were no economic interests in the Far East, and the Chinese occupied strategic points, and if they wanted to break through these mountains and forests, they would spend a lot of military power, not to mention, and they would not get any benefits. Why did the Soviets do this?
Germany, Hitler was very nervous about this turn of events in the Soviet Union, and if there was still a real threat to Germany in the world, it was the Soviet Union.
"The USSR is making a mistake. China is definitely not without aggression, although it is true from the history of this ancient country. But this is by no means the case in China today. Its current performance is nothing more than eating and eating. ”
In Shanghai, after the contact between the foreign ministers of the Soviet Union and Germany, the Germans admonished him.
"Like Germany now?"
The Soviets jokingly said.
Actually, Germany is really holding on to some food right now. In the second half of 1942 and the beginning of 1943, the German army mobilized at least a third of its forces in Europe to fight the remaining resistance forces in various countries, trying to establish a stable economic order at home as soon as possible.
At the same time, although the Soviet Union won against Japan and lost to China, its overall strength did not decline, but because of the war, it mobilized huge military resources and preserved the West Siberian Plain. Asia took only half of the Arash, that is, Kazakhstan, regained Turkestan, which was semi-independent due to the defeat of the Russo-Japanese War, and succeeded in taking Afghanistan and Persia in a surprise attack. Europe only integrated the three Baltic states, forced Western Ukraine to annex it, and carved up parts of Finland and Poland with Germany, which were in fact the traditional spheres of influence of old Russia, and they were stable when they were taken in.
Because of China's relations, although the Comintern was dissolved and the small European countries were annexed by Germany, it did not mean that the Communist Party had lost its influence, because although Germany claimed to be National Socialism, it actually compromised the capitalists on the basis of taking care of the interests of the common people. Communism, on the other hand, has a natural appeal to civilians.
The civil strife in Germany is mainly divided into two aspects, one of which is the guerrilla groups organized by the communist parties of various countries, which are supported by the Soviet Union. As a result, the German army could not be wiped out no matter how they suppressed. In contrast to these partisans, the forces of the old capitalist dynasty were quickly divided by Germany through the exploitation of minerals with the capitalists, and the rebels would be destroyed in a very short time.
Hitler's concern was that Germany did not yet fully control the periphery of the Mediterranean. After the annexation of Spain, the so-called Axis powers had lost their relevance, Germany was negotiating with Italy to merge Germany, and with the unstable France, the German army could not be freed from the Mediterranean compared to the Soviet Union, which could use millions of troops at any time. This is the reason why the Soviets had a psychological advantage over Germany.
Germany did not have much to do, because the USSR had a good neighbor. And Germany was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
China's help to Germany was mainly to drag the United States on the American continent. However, with China's conservative strategy, with the successful example of the Soviet Union, the United States may soon be able to extricate itself from the Americas. As for the ambitions of the United States, Germany did not see it.
Germany had already learned from various sources of intelligence that Britain and the United States were going to carry out a landing operation in the English Channel, and the reasons were complicated, the most important reason being that the American Jewish consortium and Britain jointly wanted to regain control of the world economy. Although Germany has divided these international conglomerates, they still have very close ties with each other, and they have their own clubs, which, if united, can shake the economic foundations of Britain, the United States and Germany. The news from the consortium was that the old British and American capitalists wanted to unite with Germany against the Soviet Union, which was already completely outside the control of capital, and then they were trying to find a way to carve up the huge, rich, and ancient China.
These greedy capitalists have no borders to speak of, and the most anti-German are the Jewish capitalists, and the contradictions are basically irreconcilable, but Israel and Arab oil are the trump cards in Germany's hands against these Jews. The old European capitalists, with the exception of the British, are now gradually integrating in Germany, but when these people surpass the British, the British need to consider whether to confront Germany and lose their interests in Europe, or to complete European reunification and share the benefits with everyone.
As for whether Germany is in charge or Britain is in charge, is there any difference for the capitalists?
Hitler was now anxious about how to get the troops in the Mediterranean out and repel the Anglo-American landings. All it takes is a victory, and in desperation, those arrogant old European capitalists will not bow to Hitler. As long as Hitler completed the consolidation of capital, would the remnants of Britain and France still be able to confront Germany? (To be continued......)
