Chapter 495: Depressed Steel

Krasnoshekov has been the chairman of the Far Eastern Republic for many years, although he is also from the Russian majority, but the dangerous and unusual political struggle in Russia made him feel a kind of horror from the bottom of his heart, especially in the process of Trotsky's gradual exclusion from the inner circle, his estrangement from Moscow is getting deeper and deeper, and centrifugal tendencies are becoming more and more serious, for him to be able to be the leader of a small country is also a good choice, it is much better than stepping into the circle of right and wrong in Moscow, at least it will be a lot safer.

Trotsky contacted him early on in the hope of receiving support from the Far Eastern Republics, but Krasnoshekov chose to remain silent and even began to contact China, buying weapons from China and demanding food and other supplies from China, which was the prelude to getting rid of Moscow.

However, Krasnoshchekov seriously underestimated Trotsky's means, even if the super boss who single-handedly created the Red Empire was down, but his influence was absolutely terrifying, he quickly entered the Red Tower, easily took over all the power, and then decisively imprisoned Krasnoshchekov, which is also a lesson learned from Stalin's fighting method, no matter against any opponent, you must do your best, and fight quickly!

After Trotsky took power, he quickly gathered the troops of the Far Eastern Republic, and with the convenience of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it took less than ten days to complete the concentration of troops, at which time Trotsky announced the establishment of a new Supreme Soviet, rebuked Stalin for gaining power by conspiracy, betrayed Lenin, and announced an armed crusade against Stalin.

And the iron comrades in Moscow are not easy to deal with, he was not afraid of Trotsky in his heyday, and now Trotsky is down, and trying to confront himself with a Far Eastern republic is simply an egg to a stone.

In fact, in this game of chess, Stalin's greatest concern was not the Far Eastern Republic, but the attitude of China!

China and Russia are both the largest countries in the world, and Russia has even the upper hand in terms of territory, but it is clear that Russia has a large white wasteland. There is simply no way to compare with China. In particular, the vast Asian region is even more vast and sparsely populated, and China, which stretches from Xinjiang and Mongolia to Northeast China, has a total population of more than 50 million, which is too great an advantage over Russia.

This situation has caused a kind of sincere fear in Russia. Regardless of whether Trotsky colludes with Chinese forces or not, China will most likely be involved, especially since China has launched large-scale military exercises in Xinjiang and Mongolia some time ago, and its intentions against Russia have become very obvious.

After careful study, Stalin also developed a plan for a quick victory, in order to achieve this goal. He mobilized a total of 10 divisions in the Far East and Central Asia, forming an absolute superiority in troops.

And appointed Tukhachevsky, he also knows the situation in the Far East very well, the command ability is still above the Far Eastern Republic of Blyukhel, is the best choice to lead the army, although Russia's own industrial base is weak, but before the First World War, the steel output of Tsarist Russia still exceeded 4 million tons, and the Japanese at the same time were less than 300,000 tons.

Overnight, Russia changed colors. The majority was clearly more capable of developing industry than the tsar. In particular, Russia has also reached a number of cooperation agreements with Germany and introduced a large number of advanced technologies. Russia's industrial level has grown by leaps and bounds, and the speed is not inferior to China's.

Now the Russian army has also changed its guns, and its equipment is much better than that of the First World War, and Russia has also established a considerable number of air force and armored forces, which is also a lesson learned from the war with China, and has mastered such a powerful military force, Tukhachevsky seems to have a pearl of wisdom and confidence!

However, Tukhachevsky was still a kind-hearted person, especially admiring the ability of Blyukhel, who made great contributions during the civil war in Soviet Russia, but only became the Minister of Defense of the Far Eastern Republic by mistake, and many people still regarded him as a hero of Soviet Russia from the bottom of their hearts.

In particular, the Russian top brass also believes that the establishment of the so-called Far Eastern Republic is a last resort, and that after Russia's national strength is restored, it will be able to incorporate the Far Eastern Republic into the Russian territory at any time, but the reality is obviously different from the situation they dreamed of, and with the passage of time, China's strength has become stronger and stronger, and the independent tendency of the Far Eastern Republic has become more and more serious, which has almost become a piece of Russia's heart.

Trotsky's actions gave Russia a good chance to reclaim the Far Eastern Republic, and just before the start of the war, Tukhachevsky sent a secret letter to Blyukhel through his former subordinates, in which he recalled the experience of the two men fighting side by side in the Far East, and at the same time repeatedly advised Blyukherr not to support Trotsky.

It is all the more necessary to be vigilant against China's movements, after all, once Russia develops a war, it will give an excuse for the invasion of neighboring hostile countries, so that Blyukhel will also turn from a hero of Russia into a sinner of the nation.

Blyukhel was also very conflicted at this time, he did not fully support Trotsky, but he was in the bureau, and he couldn't help it, and many generals around him supported Trotsky, especially among the officers in the lower city, Trotsky had a huge appeal.

Trotsky, who single-handedly planned the October Revolution and was the founder of the entire Red Army, could not be easily erased, and Blyukhel had no choice but to follow the general trend and plan in advance that he would lead his troops to defeat the Russian army before it was ready.

Blyukhel's army was marching on the railway to the west, and the war was about to break out in two days at most, and it was not a good thing for the soldiers to face the ravages of war again before the end of the civil war in Russia.

Time is running out, the countdown to war is ticking, and the Siberian wasteland is about to witness another brutal war, when Blyukhel is about to give the order for an offensive, when a telegram from Chita is suddenly received.

The signature was a figure he could never have imagined: Krasnoshchekov! Didn't this chairman be imprisoned by Trotsky, who, according to Trotsky's habit of ruthlessness and determination, even thought that he was dead, and in any case would not have thought of how he could have reappeared!

The telegram also revealed the astonishing news that Trotsky had been arrested, that the prisoner and the victor had been reversed in an instant, and that Blyukherr even wondered if he was celebrating April Fool's Day.

However, he soon received a series of telegrams from Chita, strictly forbidding him to attack Russia and that the two sides must maintain peace, and Krasnoshekov was at Chita's press conference at this time. Returning to power, he highlighted Trotsky's coup plot. It is destroying the hard-won peace in the Far East and doing the opposite.

In addition, he stressed that the Far Eastern Republic is an independent country, and that the army should serve this country, and not give a foreign ex-dignitary, which is simply unimaginably crazy.

Compared with Krasnoshokov's speech, everyone is more concerned about how this salted fish turned over, and it was he who regained power. It was only with the help of others that the reversal was achieved, and soon these curious people smelled something unusual in his speech, and Krasnoshchekov strongly praised China's role in this incident, praising China as a true peacemaker, and a heroic Chinese soldier who thwarted the conspirators!

Although Krasnoshekov did not reveal a more specific inside story, all the reporters understood what was going on at this time. It turned out that China had exerted its strength, but everyone did not get any news of the large-scale transfer of the Chinese army, if there was no army, how could China rescue Krasnoshchekov, everyone had different opinions, and some monks were confused!

In fact, not only them, but even Krasnoshchekov himself is still in a dream, he is imprisoned in the dacha. Precarious. From the high-spirited Mr. Chairman, to a prisoner whose life and death are unknown. No one could afford this huge gap, and even he thought of suicide.

However, it is often said that it is difficult to die through the ages, it is easy to live, but it is too difficult to die, especially for people in high positions, after enjoying the good things in the world, they are even more reluctant to let go, but he also knows that Trotsky is terrible, that is a ruthless character who can make life worse than death, and most of the people who fall into his hands will not end well.

At first, the chairman thought that Trotsky had sent someone to assassinate him, but soon felt that the situation was wrong, most likely someone had come to rescue him, although he didn't know who made the shot, but at this time Krasnoshchekov wanted to say that as long as he could escape, he would definitely award the other party a one-ton gold medal.

Of course, he was also worried that the rescue personnel were not professional enough, whether they would anger Trotsky, and if they could not save people, they would become harmful, and this anxiety seriously tormented him.

About five minutes or so, the gunfire outside ended, and several fierce soldiers rushed in, dressed in military uniforms painted with strange patterns, and there were also oil paints on their faces, looking mysterious and unpredictable, they were simply divine soldiers who only appeared in mythological stories.

Krasnoshekov is also a smart person, from the facial features of these soldiers quickly judged, these are definitely not soldiers of the Far Eastern Republic, let alone Russian soldiers, although there are also many yellow people in the Far Eastern Republic, but the specific appearance is still a huge difference, the other party is not very tall, the edges and corners of the face are more relaxed, the body is also lean and healthy, absolutely Chinese.

"Mr. President, we are the commander of the 1st Squadron of the Chinese Airborne Forces, we must rescue you immediately, Trotsky's men will fight back at any time, please cooperate well!"

Krasnoshekov also had a lot of power over the years, and he quickly took countermeasures, arrested Trotsky in one fell swoop, and at the same time issued a statement to Russia, asking that there should be no misunderstanding between the two countries, and at the same time he also expressed his willingness to hand over Trotsky, who was trying to provoke war in the Far East, to Stalin.

Trotsky was the instigator of this war, and now that he has been arrested, naturally one day the clouds have dispersed, and there is no excuse for the war, and Stalin in Moscow has made all the preparations, and he even wants to risk a war with China, take the Far Eastern Republic in one fell swoop, and the army is also mobilized, and the momentum is like the top of Mount Tai, who knows that just before the war, suddenly everything changes, as if the athletes had made hard preparations for the competition, and then they were told that the competition was canceled, depressed to the extreme!
