Chapter 453: Give Japan a Copy
@@@@@@
The Lunar New Year is here again, and even God has opened his eyes to reveal a rare sunny weather.
The streets of Vladivostok are full of people, not because the Russians who have lived in the Far East for a long time are attracted by traditional Chinese culture, but because since Chita was occupied by the squadron, many Russians east of Chita began to worry about their own safety, so they took refuge in the largest fortress port in the Russian Far East. Coupled with the prisoners of war and refugees who had previously arrived here from the Eastern Front, the influx of hundreds of thousands of people made Vladivostok extraordinarily prosperous, with the market flourishing, trade rising, and all kinds of gossip naturally surging. The squadron entered Boli and Hailanpao, and the Chinese National Defense Forces were also seen in Temple Street, which is separated by a river from the mouth of the Amur River and North Sakhalin Island. Dozens of shallow-water gunboats of the Amur River Flotilla surrendered to China, Japanese troops crossed the Sakhalin demarcation line into North Sakhalin, an American cruiser reached the Sea of Japan, and even Korean partisans began to prepare for a spring offensive. In short, as long as the news is happening in the Far East, it can be found and heard here.
In an ordinary room near the dock, Ren Fuchen and his comrades sharpened their guns and knives to prepare. After Zhang Zuolin was ordered to lead two divisions to sweep through Heilongjiang and other places, due to lack of preparation, the poor party's institutions in Harbin suffered heavy losses, and most of the comrades were arrested by the army, except for him, Shumyatsky and others who escaped ahead of schedule. Because the operation was a military force, the police and the local government could not interfere at all, so when it was impossible to rescue the comrades, they could only flee all the way along the Suifen River to Hailan Pao, but only when they arrived at Hailan Pao did they contact the local comrades, and the squadron arrived quickly. So I had to go south and get here.
Vladivostok was the stronghold of the poor party in the Far East, with 5,000 members and many supporters. Therefore, upon their arrival, Shumyatsky received an order from the Party Central Committee in St. Petersburg to seize power in Vladivostok as soon as possible, to prevent Britain and France from using this port to enter Russia, to join the Chinese expeditionary force that was raging, and to overthrow the nascent proletarian regime.
Shumyatsky was discussing a course of action with his comrades next door, after the Chinese Defense Forces had entered Hailanpao and Boli to take control of the Amur River Basin. There were already clear signs of preparing to move south, so they were to seize power before the squadron arrived, and use Vladivostok's excellent fortified defenses to form a nail to the east. Ren Fuchen did not join the leadership. Although he was the first member of the Poor Party in the country, he was gradually excluded from the inner circle of the Russian comrades after the army of his country ravaged the Ural region.
The city outside is bustling but still unnoticed. Thinking that there would be explosions and gunshots in the city in a few more moments, Ren Fuchen suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Especially in the past few years, more and more compatriots have begun to live here, and where will they go after the war? The thought that the Chinese businessmen would be drawn into the war, and perhaps the angry poor Russian party, was a little worried, but he quickly pushed the thought out of his mind. Although Yang Qiu has made achievements in recent years, he himself is the largest capitalist in China, not to mention that most of the rural areas in China are still very poor. The landlords have reduced rents and interest rates, but the land is firmly in their hands. So after all, this is still a capitalist government, not to mention that he deliberately sent soldiers to Europe to help foreigners fight, exchanging human lives for money! He was also willing to act as a lackey of capitalism, as a thug of Britain and France, in a vain attempt to overthrow the nascent proletarian regime! So yes, this kind of government is not representative of the majority of the proletariat.
After Ren Fuchen persuaded himself. It was getting dark, and Shumyatsky finally walked out of the small room with a tired look and waved his hand to everyone. Two hours later, fierce gunfire and explosions were heard in Vladivostok, hundreds of poor party soldiers poured into the streets from all intersections, and the unprepared Russian troops quickly gave up resistance.
Ren Fuchen's commando team is called the International Column. There were Slavs and GC-minded Chinese like him, Koreans, Japanese, Tatars, Mongols, Xinjiangese, and even Czechs and Germans. Shumyatsky's task to the international column was to storm the fortress headquarters, which was the brain of the whole Vladivostok, so he said that this was a test for the international comrades, although everyone understood that there was a test of loyalty, but after all, it was a great merit. So the international column fought fiercely all the way. In his hand was the improved Stern submachine gun that he had secretly bought from the Wehrmacht's weapons to aid Korea, which he had secretly bought with a lot of money, and this kind of submachine gun that could fire three rounds at a single pull of the trigger was very powerful. Therefore, the soldiers of the White Russians (the name of the poor party, and the later Russian ** army was also changed to the popular name of Belarus) who responded to the battle in a hurry could not stop it at all, and within a while, the international column rushed into the headquarters.
"Hurry up and get the white-haired officer out!"
"Go to the library and see if there's any."
Several Chinese comrades behind Ren Fuchen shouted and rushed inward, and one of them rushed towards the reference room with several Japanese comrades. Located on the second floor, the headquarters data room contains a large amount of intelligence and materials about the Russian Far East, many of which are of great value. After rushing in and seeing that there was no one, the Chinese comrade immediately rummaged through the cabinets as if looking for something, and when he saw a few silver spoons, he immediately stuffed them into his pockets. His action made several Japanese comrades snort with disdain, twisted their heads and prepared to leave, but at this moment the Chinese comrades cried out.
"Haha, Lao Tzu has made a great contribution! Ha ha. β
These Japanese comrades were obviously good at Chinese and quickly ran over to check it. When I saw it clearly, I found that it was actually a thick Russian census document on the population and administration of Far East Siberia. This kind of information is indeed very important, and when you get it, you can basically understand the distribution of the Russian population in the region, the industrial and mining enterprises, etc., but when several people turned to the last page, one of the Japanese comrades suddenly had bloodshot eyes.
Survey map of resource mines in the region!
On the map, the location of the resource mines in the coastal area from the north of Lake Xingkai to the large circle of Kamchatka is shown in detail, and most of them are concentrated in the Amur River basin, which has been placed under the provisional jurisdiction of China. But in the middle of Okhotsk and Magadan, a coking coal mine was marked. The words 100 million tons marked below in Russian simply made the eyes of this Japanese comrade fall out! In addition to this, there are iron mines, lignite and tin mines near Magadan, and even the oil fields of North Sakhalin are indicated in their location! This is what Japan desperately needs. Although these reserves are nowhere near comparable to those in the Amur River basin under Chinese trusteeship, this is a great opportunity for Japan to quickly address urgently needed resources, especially iron ore, coking coal and oil!
As long as domestic steel production gradually recovers, as long as there is oil, more warships and cannons can be built. Not to mention the Amur River Basin, say that the entire Northeast can be taken back!
Therefore, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, this Japanese comrade quickly folded the map and stuffed it into his pocket. But there was one thing he overlooked. The map and the document are of very different colors, and the handwriting, time, and so on are all different. But the Japanese comrade was apparently too excited to notice the obvious differences. The Chinese comrade next to him quickly stuffed the materials into his carry-on bag. He looked meaningfully at the Japanese comrade who was hiding the map, and said very seriously: "Comrade Hua Limu, I am going to hand over this information to the captain." β
"Okay, okay, go ahead, it must be a great credit." The Chinese comrade left, and Hua Limu didn't even know his name, but he didn't want to know anymore, because that night he broke away from the poor party and hid in the Japanese consulate in Vladivostok, and the Chinese comrade coincidentally took refuge in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Vladivostok at the same time with a large number of important materials from the reference room. People living in the sun will never know about these kinds of encounters. During this period of turmoil in Siberia, this confrontation was going on every moment, and thousands of intelligence agents threw themselves into the flood in various capacities, but never was it more important than today, changing Japan and upsetting the balance of the entire Northeast Pacific. It will even have a direct impact on the international environment for decades to come.
The long-awaited New Year in Vladivostok was ruined by the poor political coupon, but on the streets of Harbin, where Russia was the most powerful, people were busy preparing Chinese New Year's Eve. Compared with previous years, the people of Harbin suddenly found that this New Year was very different, the Russian soldiers who were originally carrying wine bottles all over the streets were gone, and the Russian officials who were looting and exploiting were gone. The Russian Tax Bureau also quietly hung up the flag of the Republic of China, and even the factories of the Eastern Railway Bureau, which originally had the largest number of Russians, did not see any Russians, as if they had not appeared for hundreds of years. The only thing that can still record the humiliation of this land is the Russian architecture of the very different styles and the Russian signs that have not been scraped clean.
General Baimao's Mansion was also busy with the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this was the first time Yang Qiu was out for the New Year in several years, and even the two ladies came with their children, so Lei Meng did not dare to take it lightly, and ordered everyone to hang up the lanterns with his hands on his waist. In the restaurant, Xiao Yang Qiu, who had just been able to walk, scurried around like a little penguin, sometimes pulling Yang Qiu's trousers, and sometimes licking his fingers at the steaming hot pot on the table. In addition to Yang Qiu and the two wives, Jiang Baili, Cai Jimin and his wife, and Zhang Zuolin and his wife were all invited, probably to pave the way for their son, and Zhang Zuolin also brought Zhang Xueliang, who was studying in Beijing and went home for the New Year.
At this time, Zhang Xueliang was still a little Zhengtai, and when he saw Yang Qiu, he was nervous and restrained.
"Sit down. Uncle, sit down with you, too. Yang Qiu asked the secretary Kuang Xukun to sit next to Zhang Xueliang and said with a smile: "I don't have any rules here today, everyone is like having a reunion dinner in their own home." β
Jiang Fangzhen has always been very casual in front of Yang Qiu, and said with a smile after hearing this: "The vice president said this, didn't he want us to learn from Brother Yuting to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl back then?" β
"Haha, Brother Baili, don't want to dismantle my platform, I am young and confused, if it weren't for the commander-in-chief to wake up, how could Zhang be where he is today." Zhang Zuolin laughed and slapped his ass silently. Jiang Fangzhen knew the temper of this old friend, and just as he was about to continue making a few jokes, he saw Lei Meng walking in with Fang Rui.
Several people here knew Fang Rui, Zhang Zuolin missed the opportunity to befriend him when the National Defense Army entered the Northeast, and later specially inquired about him, only to know that this person was Yang Qiu's real henchman and assistant, so when he saw him come in, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Yang Qiu also saw Fang Rui, got up and asked someone to add a stool to greet him: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, let's eat together." β
Report. I just received news that last night the poor party staged a coup d'Γ©tat in Vladivostok to seize control of the fortress, proclaimed itself the Soviet government of Vladivostok, and seized all the Russian ** ships in the harbor, and blocked the harbor with warships, declaring that no foreign ships were allowed to enter. The General Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs sent a telegram saying that many of our Chinese businessmen had been robbed and retaliated against, and we hoped to send troops to protect them as soon as possible. Fang Rui saluted and reported to Jiang Fangzhen before thanking Yang Qiu for sitting next to Jiang Fangzhen.
"it!" Zhang Zuolin jumped up excitedly, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service! Hurriedly saluted Yang Qiu and said, "Commander-in-chief, give the order, Zhang Moufei pinched out the egg yolk of this gang of poor people with bad intentions." Mrs. Zhang quietly pulled the corner of her husband's clothes, and looked at Miao Luo and Rui Yao awkwardly, this kind of rude words really made several women speechless.
Fang Rui also took the opportunity to continue: "General Zhang can rest assured for the time being, there are our people over there in the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, and they should be able to last a few days." β
When others heard this, they thought that Fang Rui was comforting Zhang Zuolin, but in Yang Qiu's ears, there was a burst of ecstasy! The map is out! Coking coal, iron ore, and tin ore on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk are the most urgently needed by Japan, not to mention the location of the oil fields of North Sakhalin! As long as they get this map, unless the Japanese government is stupid, they will definitely go north with their ambitions! Go north, hurry up and go north! As long as the Japanese army landed on the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka, it would be equivalent to a slap in the face to Uncle Sam! With Japan's northward advance threatening Alaska and Lenin standing tall in Europe, the post-war Republic of China will face much less pressure on the British and American powers alone.
Why don't you just get a map of Alaska's mineral deposits and send it to Japan? 10 billion tons of oil, Japan will go crazy, right?! Yang Qiu muttered to himself, but after thinking about it, the current strength of the Japanese Navy is still insufficient, and it is better to let people build more warships first, and then come up with this killer feature after the confidence is bursting. So he resisted the urge to cheer, and asked with a cold face: "Bohe, I remember that Cheng Biguang and Ye Zugui have already arrived in Hawaii, right?" β
Kuang Xukun nodded and said, "Yes." Arrived three days ago, and was refueling and resting there, General Sa Zhenbing had already sent the Hairong and 4 destroyers to meet him. β
"Send a telegram to them, change the plan to return to Shanghai, and immediately go to Vladivostok to protect the expatriates after meeting the fleet. In addition, we sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the President, asking when the British and American troops would be able to reach Vladivostok, and if not, we would do it alone, and we would not let the expatriates suffer. After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and said proudly: "The sky and the earth are the biggest in the New Year!" Come, we are here to toast to the rejuvenation of the nation and the future of 40,000,000 compatriots! ββ¦β¦ (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
