The news of the Chinese military's counterinsurgency campaign against Mongolia shook Nanjing like a thunderbolt and spread rapidly.

The diplomatic embassies of Britain, France, the United States, and other powers were all confused by this news, and yesterday the Chinese side was still aggressive in the south, assuming a posture of sharpening its knives, and the whole world was worried about whether an unprecedented and terrifying war would break out in Southeast Asia. But now it's good, in the blink of an eye, China is firing north, what is the purpose of this?

"Are the Chinese afraid?" Smith couldn't help but think like this, after all, the British Empire sent the main fleet to the East for "training", which was actually a demonstration of strength. In fact, many people think this is what the diplomatic ambassadors of Western countries sit together to discuss the situation.

Hollande frowned and objected: "I don't think so, no matter how strong the navy is, it can't occupy much Chinese territory." Could it be that the British Navy Naitan Marines dared to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese Army on land? ”

Smith's face is very bad, it's okay for the Marines to bully a weak country or occupy a bridgehead coastal port or something, but to fight with the army, it's really not worth it, and in the face of China's huge army? It's not enough to even stuff people's teeth. At the moment, he said angrily: "Then why do you say it is?" ”

"It's ignorance!" U.S. Ambassador Conger sighed with a wry smile, "China has only used more than 100,000 troops to enter Mongolia to counterinsurgency, which seems to be huge, but compared to the Chinese army, which has 5 million troops, it is insignificant. In fact, we all know very well that we do not want to become enemies with China, which has a huge military power, and Soviet Russia is certainly not a fool. In this case, of course, the Chinese can easily sweep away Mongolia, do you think that Soviet Russia will turn its face in order to invade the interests of China and Mongolia and China, which has a million-strong army? Even if the Russians wanted to do this, for the time being, would they have the strength to do so in the Far East? ”

Strength, the most critical noun.

Smith, Hollande and the others all smiled wryly. The reason why China dares to be so arrogant is because the Chinese currently have an unprecedentedly strong strength, the Chinese National Defense Force has been reequipped with more than one million troops, and is changing at a rate of 180,000 every month, the military strength of the Chinese is increasing almost every day, and the pressure brought by this expansion of strength is almost suffocating.

Britain, France, the United States and other powers in the Far East could not compete with China in military strength, so no matter how arrogant China was, they could only swallow their anger; Similarly, in the face of China's huge military power, would Soviet Russia still dare to invade and occupy Mongolia?

For the time being, Soviet Russia has not formally established diplomatic relations in China, and naturally there is no embassy, and the Soviet Russian diplomatic office in Nanjing can only be regarded as a diplomatic office; in fact, if it were not for Lenin's "Declaration of Peace" and his promise to return Chinese territory, the two sides would have negotiated on this issue, but I am afraid that this office would not even exist.

Molov received instructions from Moscow and hurried to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government, China's advance into Mongolia made Soviet Russia feel pressure and threat, because before the move, China did not inform Soviet Russia of the note, which made Soviet Russia feel a crisis and even a threat.

"The counterinsurgency in our country is an internal affair in which no country has the right to interfere and there is no need to inform any country."

Molov looked at Tang Shaoyi's calm face, and his heart sank, China's rapid rise has freed China's rulers from the shackles of foreign influence, at least that's what the Chinese side thinks. Although he was very unwilling in his heart, he had to admit that China was very strong, and if China could defeat Japan, it would be enough for Soviet Russia not to ignore its strength. Of course, he did not forget the order from Moscow, and he did not come to start a conflict with China, but to ease relations between the two countries.

Molov smiled: "Of course. The rebels must be resolutely exterminated, and we hope to work with your country to exterminate the remnants of the White Russian rebels. China and the Soviet Union are both oppressed by the imperialist world, and our country believes that we should cooperate further and unite to resist the threat of imperialism. ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled: "Of course, this is also what we want. It's just that Comrade Lenin of your country has publicly stated that he wants to return the territory of our country, should that also be returned to our country? Otherwise, where can friendly cooperation begin? ”

Molov's smile froze on his face, and he quickly smiled: "Your Excellency Minister Tang, the declaration issued by Comrade Lenin is to abolish the treaties after 1893, and as long as the peace treaty is signed, Jiangdong Liutun and Hailanpao will definitely abide by the treaties and return them to your country." ”

Tang Shaoyi sneered: "Is that all? As far as I know, the territory east of Ussuri, including Vladivostok and Sakhalin, was not ceded to your country by official documents, but only by local governors under Russian oppression. In no country in the world, local governments have the power to trade national territory. ”

Molov's face changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Minister Tang, your request is too much. Vladivostok is the only port in the Far East of our country, and we will never allow it to be lost. ”

Tang Shaoyi said calmly: "Then we have to go and get it back ourselves!" The implication is already that the threat of war is naked, and this is of course the bottom line of Li Bufan's character, taking back this part of the Far East, even if there is a war with Soviet Russia in the future, a large amount of materials can be transported by sea and transported to the north faster, and the most important thing is that Soviet Russia has no ports, and there can be no navy in the Far East, and the threat of submarines at sea has basically been eliminated.

"Molov almost vomited blood, if it were any other time, he would have left the case, but now he has a heavy responsibility

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Hmph, it's still a dead duck with a hard mouth."

Li Bufan looked at the screen on the base car, his face was grim and he snorted, and the murderous intent in his eyes flickered.

Wu Di smiled bitterly: "Boss, don't you know that Stalin's goods are stones in the pit, smelly and hard. I think about history, during World War II, Germany almost swept through Soviet Russia and Eastern Europe, and he still clinged to the interests of the Far East. This animal doesn't care how many people die at all, anyway, he is Georgian, and he doesn't care how many Russians die. Not to mention those who died in the war during the war, they were killed by his order in the Great Purge, not 10 million, but 8 million. ”

Li Bufan's face was gloomy, and he said: "In this way, there is only war? ”

Wu Di thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily. During World War II, he had been in power for a long time, and his power had become entrenched. But now that Lenin has just died, it is said that Lenin was still opposed to him being the number one leader before his death, and there are many political enemies in the country, so he cannot be allowed to cover the sky with one hand. Besides, he is now at war with us, and there is no certainty of victory, and if the war is lost, there is no doubt that he will have to step down under the attack of his political opponents. I think his immediate priority now is to consolidate his power, and there is still a good chance of compromise. After all, Russia has experienced a world war, followed by a civil war, and even now many countries in Eastern Europe are at war with them from time to time, and the external pressure of Soviet Russia is not under us. Of course, they are not in a better position than we are, Eastern Europe is too close to the great powers, and the capitalist world does not want to overthrow their red regimes at any time. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "That makes sense." What exactly Soviet Russia had in mind, we will soon know. If they do not want to return Vladivostok and other places, then in the face of our military pressure, Soviet Russia will have to massively increase its troops to the east. ”

Wu Di smiled bitterly: "I think that if we can not fight, we will try not to fight, after all, our transportation system in the northwest is far from meeting the requirements, and if we fight in the Far East, they can send troops to Xinjiang and Mongolia, and the northwest land is only afraid of becoming a thousand miles of red land." ”

Li Bufan's face was ugly, he could only say that China's infrastructure construction was too backward, and the railway to Lanzhou would take at least two months to open to traffic, because of the information provided by Wu Di, a heavy industry base was built in Jiuquan as a strategic support point in the northwest, but the steel plant and oil fields had just been developed, and it would take at least one or two years to play a role, that is to say, all materials had to be transported from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the long supply line of thousands of kilometers was really daunting.

In modern warfare, as a strategic decision-maker, supply must not be neglected. In fact, in the great northwest war, the most important thing is food, the northwest is originally a land of food shortage, once a million troops are put into battle, food is needed every day to consume materials, that is absolutely astronomical, this is not compared to ammunition, ammunition and other supplies, it is really not possible China can use bombers, transport planes short, how to say that China currently also has two or three hundred Thunderbird bombers, can completely deliver a maximum of 500 tons of materials at a time, support the war is not a big problem, after all, the enemy's supply is not so easy. During the Russian period, Russia built a railway network in Central Asia, but when it entered Xinjiang, supplies were also under pressure.

Li Bufan said in a deep voice: "Can we send troops into Tuntian, Xinjiang?" ”

Wu Di smiled bitterly: "Tuntian is no problem, but there must also be moderation, if it is overdeveloped, the consequences of environmental damage are extremely bad." Besides, the people we can send must also be able to afford to be raised locally, otherwise what will they eat? ”

Li Bufan said in a deep voice: "This situation must be changed, and I have decided to form a Xinjiang Group Army to defend Xinjiang, and at the same time send a production and construction corps to Tuntian, Xinjiang. Even if there is damage, it can only be remedied later. ”

Wu Di smiled bitterly: "If it has to be like this, then I suggest that half of the production corps should be planted and half should be planted for afforestation." Boss, you must know that illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, destruction is easy and recovery is difficult. Actually, I think it's okay to recover Mongolia for the time being, and the rest can be put aside for a while. As long as we wait until winter and our transportation system to the south is basically completed, it is a good time to go south. If we face off with the Russian army from the north, it will affect our troop movements. ”

Li Bufan looked forward for a long time, sighed and said: "I originally thought that we had the initiative, and we could fight whoever we wanted, and we could advance and retreat freely, but in the end there were still many obstacles. This road is getting narrower and narrower, and I am afraid that I will have to walk into a dead end. ”

Wu Di laughed and said, "Boss, don't worry too much. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and maybe the willows and flowers will be bright and another village. We're not having a good time, and so are the foreign devils. ”

"Let's hope so"
