After China sent troops to Tsarist Russia, the Third Army spent half a month to arrive near the Ural Mountains, and successively took over the defense of some cities near the Ural Mountains, such as Volkuta, Serov, Perm, Nizhny Tagil, Yekaterinburg, Ufa, Magnitogorsk, Orsk and other cities.

But the Tsarist side of Russia was very puzzled, didn't China come to help defend the region east of the Ural Mountains? How did Serov, Perm, Yekaterinburg and other cities west of the Ural Mountains take over? The Russian side quickly sent people over to express their doubts, and asked the Chinese garrison to withdraw from these cities, and only needed to take over the defense of the area east of the Ural Mountains, but the Chinese garrison officers did not lead their troops to leave, and directly refused on the grounds of orders from their superiors, and let the people come to negotiate directly with the high-level.

Naturally, the matter came to the Tsarist Russian minister in China, Kuminsiqi, who came to Xiao Zhenlei again to protest against the Chinese army's entry into some cities west of the Ural Mountains, Xiao Zhenlei comforted him and said that this was just a last resort for the army to ensure a way out, and at present only took over the defense of these cities, the purpose was to ensure the safety of the back road, and I hope that the Tsarist authorities would express their understanding, everyone is an ally, and there is no need to hurt feelings for such a trivial matter. The matter is over.

On this day, Yang Dulai reported the relevant situation to Xiao Zhenlei, "President, according to the investigation of our intelligence officers in the north, we found that the situation is a little wrong!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Yang Du said: "Yes. The Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau handed over a piece of information, which said that our intelligence officers in Vladivostok sent back a telegram showing it. The Japanese troops in Vladivostok did not seem to know the news of the total destruction of the Japanese naval fleet, nor did they know that our country had bombed Tokyo, Sasebo, Kure Port, and Yokosuka into ruins. This greatly surprised the intelligence analysts of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, and after the news reached Wang Yaqiao, he realized that there might be a problem, and then issued orders to investigate the situation in Irkutsk, Chita, Boli, Shuangchengzi and other places, and the news came back to them to their surprise, and all the Japanese troops and officers in these places did not know what was happening in Japan this time."

Xiao Zhenlei touched his chin and said, "That means that the Japanese side has blocked the news?" Didn't let the Japanese soldiers who were fighting abroad know about the changes on their homeland? ”

Yang Du said: "Very likely! ”

"This is understandable, after all, what is happening in Japan itself is too big, and if the Japanese troops in the Far East and Siberia know about these news, those Japanese troops will probably collapse as a result!"

Yang Du was puzzled: "But this kind of thing can't be hidden for long." Not only did the logistical supply of the Japanese army fighting abroad need to be transported over to the Japanese mainland, but now that the Japanese navy has been destroyed and the ships carrying supplies are not safe, do they dare to send transport ships to deliver supplies and ammunition to the Japanese troops over there? ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought about it, got up and walked a few steps and said: "After all, the situation during this period of time has changed too quickly, and the Japanese authorities can't react a little, they may be thinking of hiding it for a while, so let's go find Wang Yaqiao." Let him find a way to investigate and see if the Japanese authorities have issued an order to the Japanese troops in the Far East and Siberia to make them self-reliant, and if there is such an order, then things are normal! ”

"Good. I'll go right away! ”

Two days later, the news soon came, and Yang Du reported to Xiao Zhenlei again: "President." As you might expect, the Japanese authorities issued an order to the Japanese troops in the Far East and Siberia ten days ago to leave them to be self-reliant. Let them organize the local skilled workers of the occupied territories, build arsenals in these cities, and organize the local inhabitants to form collective production cooperatives. Cultivating and cultivating local fields, as well as organizing people to mine ores, explore oil fields, and more! ”

Xiao Zhenlei heard this: "It seems that they are planning to stay there and not leave, this posture is completely preparing to regard the Far East and Siberia as their home!" ”

Yang Du couldn't help but laugh when he heard it: "Isn't it?" They don't think of themselves as outsiders at all, by the way, although the population of Siberia and the Far East is not very large, but it is still very considerable, and the area there is vast, and there is a lot of land, if it is reclaimed, even if it is planted only once a year, the harvest is still very good, and it is completely self-sufficient, as long as there are enough troops to hold it! ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said, "Since the Japanese want to settle down there, why don't we fulfill them?" Now we are a little too early to do anything to them, if we occupy that large area, the Tsarist authorities will definitely ask us, in this case, simply let the Japanese stay there, and then seize it when we want, but we can't let Japan develop there with peace of mind, we must weaken them, and at the same time develop our people among the local population, when the time comes, we can seize that land faster and easier! In addition, our side cannot cut off the supply of the Japanese mainland to the Japanese army in the Far East for the time being, which means that the naval fleet should not go to the Sea of Japan for the time being, so you can let Wang Yaqiao and Sa Zhenbing come over."

"Okay, President!" Yang Du agreed and turned away.

Soon, Wang Yaqiao and the naval strength Sa Zhenbing rushed over one after another.

"President, are you looking for me?" Wang Yaqiao saluted Xiao Zhenlei.

Xiao Zhenlei beckoned, and the two sat down on the sofa and said: "The Far East and the Siberian region, we will have to take it back sooner or later, but in view of the immaturity of the time, we cannot launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army in these areas for the time being, and can only weaken their strength step by step, so that they cannot develop and grow, therefore, there is still a long period of confrontation in between, during which the intelligence department will develop our forces in these areas and accept our command and control. Cooperate with our army in the event of an offensive in these areas! ”

Wang Yaqiao asked, "Can you provide them with weapon support?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and said: "Yes, but the number and type should not be too large, the power of the weapon must also be limited, and those people must also be able to control absolutely, otherwise it will be easy to have problems in the future."

Wang Yaqiao said: "Understood! ”

Xiao Zhenlei added: "It is also necessary to strengthen the intelligence collection work in these areas. How is the intelligence system in the Americas being organized? ”

Wang Yaqiao said: "We have already started to collect intelligence, and we are currently doing business to South America!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "Okay, do your best to spread the intelligence system all over the world, even Africa is no exception!" ”

"Yes, President!"

Soon after Wang Yaqiao left, Sa Zhenbing also arrived, Xiao Zhenlei beckoned him to sit down, poured him a cup of herbal tea, Sa Zhenbing said with herbal tea: "The president doesn't have to be polite, please tell me something!" ”

The weather is too hot, it is now the end of August, almost September, but the weather temperature is still very high, although there are electric fans have been blowing, but all the hot air can be blown, in order to relieve the heat, the staff have to boil some herbal tea every day, Xiao Zhenlei is of course the first to enjoy.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, Xiao Zhenlei said: "I called you here this time, I am preparing to make a big move, and I need to use the main force of the naval fleet, so let's do my best to transfer the main force of the naval fleet back to rest and replenish supplies, leaving only a few cruisers in the waters around Japan to monitor Japan, and not allowing materials to be transported into Japan from the outside, no matter which country's freighter it is, as long as it is found, it will be forcibly detained, if it is involved in diplomatic disputes, it can be pushed to the cabinet, you just have to do things, regardless of negotiations!" ”

"Understood!" Sa Zhenbing agreed, and asked again: "Then what is the big move this time?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei did not continue this question, but said: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing that needs to be told to you, the navy cannot blockade the Sea of Japan for the time being, and cannot cut off the supply lines of the Japanese mainland to the Japanese army in the Far East and Siberia, and let them resupply!" ”

"W, why is that?" Sa Zhenbing was very puzzled, in his opinion, since the war with Japan had begun, it was necessary to impose sanctions on Japan at all costs, and he was about to order the main force of the naval fleet to go north to the Sea of Japan to cut off the transportation and supply line from Hokkaido to Vladivostok, but he didn't expect that his order had not yet been issued, and Xiao Zhenlei told him not to do this, which was really incomprehensible.

Xiao Zhenlei looked at Sa Zhenbing for a long time and didn't speak, which made Sa Zhenbing extremely uneasy, he knew that this was a taboo, he was still a soldier, a soldier can't ask why, once the order is understood, it must be executed, and it must be executed without reasoning, and it is unconditional.

"The Great President?????? I ???????".

Xiao Zhenlei lit a cigarette and smoked it, and only after a few minutes did he speak, with a stern expression: "General Sa, do you know how the situation of feudal towns and towns in history appeared? What are the consequences of military interference in politics? It's because some people always want to ask why! Others can ask, but the soldier can't ask, the soldier just needs to obey and resolutely carry out the order! Every decision I make, every instruction I give is in the best interests of the country, do I need to explain it to you? ”

Sa Zhenbing was sweating profusely, and quickly stood up and said, "Yes, President, I resolutely obey the order."

Xiao Zhenlei's expression relaxed, and his tone became softened: "Now let's talk about another thing, order the main fleet of the Navy to immediately withdraw to rest for a few days, maintain it as quickly as possible, replenish supplies and set off immediately, the target - all the German islands in the Pacific Ocean and the islands under the name of Germany, of which the Caroline Islands, Micronesia Islands and New Guinea Island Group are the largest island groups, and we must occupy these three island groups as quickly as possible, and then occupy the other German islands one by one, Be sure to capture these island groups before the Australian or Anglo-French fleets! ”

Sa Zhenbing was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up and said, "Yes, President, I promise to complete the task!" (To be continued......)
