Chapter 266: Igniting the Fuse of War (I)
This Air Force One specialist was also only modified on the basis of the Dapeng transport aircraft. The plane itself has not been expanded, but there is no problem with accommodating a dozen people. It is divided into three private rooms, one of which is Chen Shao's exclusive office.
Air Force One has perfect electronic equipment, which is the most advanced representative of China in the field of electronic equipment. It integrates the crystallization of various research fields in China, and some things have not even been officially installed or produced on a large scale.
However, today's Air Force One is also about to become obsolete. The main reason is that the fuselage capacity of the aircraft is too small, and the space inside is slightly cramped. The new transport aircraft is already ready for the troops, and as soon as the technology is fully mature, Air Force One will change its shell.
Xie Yuxin's mother and son stayed in the largest cabin in the middle, and Chen Shao directly walked into the independent office on the plane with the middle-aged man. An aircrew member brought two refreshments and closed the door as he walked out of the office.
"Is it Mongolia?" When the middle-aged man came in a hurry, Chen Shao slightly guessed what the problem was. Chen Shao knew about it as early as when Stalin was about to launch the so-called plan to divide Mongolia. On the territorial issue of the Soviet Union, Chen Shao and Stalin had similar ideas. Stalin's move was also expected by Chen Shao. If Stalin had not done this, Chen Shao would have found it strange.
Two land powers that are not on the right path, there are still thousands of kilometers of border between the two countries. These thoughts are also very normal, and sometimes, some small actions can lead to tension in the situation. In particular, both countries have millions of troops on the border, and if a conflict breaks out, it is likely to be a big war.
Stalin could not stand the presence of more than a million troops in the Far East, and Chen Shao did not want to be constantly wary of this bad neighbor. What's more, this neighbor is still a longing to see through other people's land, eager to take the whole world into his arms. One and a half million square kilometers of land in the Far East is the masterpiece of this neighbor.
The Soviet Union deployed millions of troops in the Far East, and the three Chinese armies were always vigilant in the northeast. On the border of the Mongolian region, it is not far from the Trans-Siberian Railway, and in order to prevent a sudden attack by China, there are also large forces guarding here, and Zhukov is responsible for the area here.
On the Chinese side, in order to cope with the deployment of Soviet troops on the Mongolian border, the Mongolian Military Region (theater) was established immediately when the troops were reorganized, and like the Northeast Military Region, the Mongolian Military Region also arranged three group armies. A total of one million troops were aimed at the Soviet Union, which was half of Chen Shao's active troops.
Chen Shao has always paid close attention to the military moves of the Soviet Union, and he has to care about a land power with great war potential. A country that can organize tens of millions of troops at any time, and there are 6 million active troops, and such a country as a neighbor, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers is, they cannot but be vigilant.
Stalin was worried about whether China would suddenly come to him, and Chen Shao was not worried that Stalin would not be able to turn his head around one day. Chen Shao is not afraid of the current Soviet Union, but he also does not want to fight with the Soviet Union now. If the Soviet Union's tens of millions of Red Army troops were really attracted to China, even if China could win, its own losses would definitely not be small. At that time, how many forces will there be to face the whole world and how to seek the greatest interests for China in World War II.
Before Germany did not fight with the Soviet Union, Chen Shao really didn't want to touch Stalin's nerves too much. For Chen Bing million in the north, Chen Shao also wants to change the status quo. If a million troops really started a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, it would be far from enough, because we still have to be wary of Japan on the sidelines. There are not many million troops that can be used against the USSR.
Now it is a non-war time, and the million-strong army is still an active army, and the burden on logistics is not small. The logistical burden is one reason, but this factor can be overcome. Chen Shao wanted to withdraw some troops, mainly for the sake of the overall strategic situation.
Originally, Chen Shao also planned that after the signing of the non-aggression pact between the Soviet Union and Germany, China also signed an agreement with the Soviet Union, and both sides withdrew their troops from the border. Chen Shao intended to settle this idea through negotiations, because he believed that Stalin absolutely did not want more than a million troops to be dragged here. The logistical burden on the borders of China to maintain a million-strong army is heavy, while the logistical burden of the Soviet Union's more than one million troops is even heavier, and many things need to be transported through the Trans-Siberian Railway. A large amount of supplies are consumed every day, which is more expensive for the Soviet Union, which has more than one million troops in the Far East than three or four million troops in Europe.
As long as the Soviet Union can maintain 780,000 troops after the agreement is signed, and China can withdraw half of its troops, it will be of great benefit to both sides. At least for a short time, it will also allow the Soviet Union to concentrate more on dealing with Japan. Because of China, Stalin seemed a little timid in the face of Japanese provocations. Let Stalin free up most of his forces, so that he understands that the current China is not going to do anything to rob while the fire is fired.
The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Chen Shao thought about it very well, but the development of things was beyond Chen Shao's expectations. When Stalin started his plan to split Mongolia, Chen Shao knew that China and the Soviet Union still had to fight a full-scale war before they could do so.
Chen Shao miscalculated Stalin's ambitions, and no matter what Stalin's ultimate goal was, the idea of splitting Mongolia never disappeared.
"Yes, for three days the Soviet political workers secretly propagated the idea of independence in the Kulen region. They preach that Mongolia is the Mongolia of the Mongols, not the Mongolia of China. If China is allowed to rule again, the Mongols will be completely assimilated by China, and the Mongols will disappear invisibly and become Chinese. The middle-aged man said.
"Bang!" Hearing Jian San's words, Chen Shao was very unhappy in his heart, as a vent for the unhappiness in his heart, the desk next to him became the object of Chen Shao's venting, and a slap was directly placed on it.
"Humph! Mengyu, tell me how much they have achieved in three days. Chen Shao snorted.
"If we had started promoting this idea 10 years ago, it would have had a very good effect. Because there were still a few independents in Mongolia at that time, they would stand up and respond. However, the life of the Mongolian people has not changed, and they are easily incited. Now the situation is different, those independents have been slowly cleaned up, and the Mongolian people have benefited, and we have taken practical actions to 'capture' their hearts. The Soviet political workers, who were eloquent and incendiary, had almost zero effect. Jian San, that is, Mengyu in Chen Shao's mouth, said, this is what Jian San gave himself, Xia Mengyu. As the head of the spy in the entire China region, the direct leader of all the spy and intelligence agencies can be said to be a high authority, except for James, that is, the second in Europe can compare with him.
"Ten years ago, did he Stalin have such guts? If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet Union's military construction has achieved considerable results, how would Stalin dare to make such a move. Hearing Xia Mengyu's words, Chen Shao breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing him say ten years, Chen Shao said with disdain.
In fact, as early as when the Soviet political workers secretly infiltrated Kulun, Chen Shao could order the intelligence department to eliminate these "little rats" in the secret, and they would eliminate as many people as they came. However, Chen Shao did not do this, and he was curious to know how the Mongols reacted to this incident. Through this incident, the attitude of the Mongols towards China was tested. Look at whether the manpower and material resources Chen Shao has invested in the construction of Mongolia over the years are worth it.
From Xia Mengyu's intelligence, Chen Shao has already gotten the answer. When he heard that these political propaganda did not achieve results, Chen Shao understood that Mongolia is now a member of the Chinese family, an inseparable member. Even if there are one or two people with different ideas, they can't make much of a storm.
Xia Mengyu didn't tell Chen Shao the details, not that he was disloyal to Chen Shao, as a cyborg, there was no need to think about these issues at all. It's just that he doesn't think it's necessary.
At the beginning of the propaganda, the political workers of the Soviet Union encountered great resistance, and hundreds of political workers carried out propaganda in the Kulen region and the surrounding areas. The propaganda was very beautiful, and it drew a picture of a beautiful life for the Mongols after independence from China. In the eyes of these political workers, those Mongolians should be excited, ready to fight for that beautiful picture of life, and strive to stand up.
It's just that the Mongols are ready to move, and every man is eager to try. It's just that their targets are those political workers, some hot-tempered Mongolian men, who directly took out those Soviet political workers who were spraying saliva and repaired them fiercely. Then these political workers were sent to the local police department, and before the police could figure out what was going on, some inexplicable police officers could only watch the bruised guys being taken away by those with special department documents.
Now that they have a stable and happy life, the Mongolians know very well who brought these things, who made them ask for hunger, cold, and poverty, and they don't have to worry about famine again one day, and they don't have to worry about whether they can survive the winter. No matter how beautiful and vivid the political work of the Soviet Union is, it is all empty and cannot be seen. And once they are seduced and really do that, then their lives will disappear today, and they will have to face hunger and cold.
The Mongols, who are accustomed to today's life, will listen to what they say there. As long as they are not stupid, they know how to choose, although they don't know what the origin of these people is, one thing is certain, that is, these people are definitely not good goods. At the same time, in the eyes of many people, these people are here to destroy their good life today, so it is normal to be beaten.
