On 22 March, the Allied High Command issued an order to dismiss most of the Allied forces of various countries that were already incomplete, leaving only those units that had received the order to be dismissed and returned to China on the spot, and the commander of the unit was still under the unified command of the commander on the way home.
After this order was issued, the officers and soldiers of the various countries who had received the demobilization order were all elated, and this battle had been fought for many years, from 1914 to now, for six years, and most of the armies of various countries had long been tired of fighting, how could they not be happy when they received the demobilization order at this time? One by one, they packed their bags and happily returned home.
In a short period of half a month, in addition to the armies of various Southeast Asian countries and the DPRK that received orders, more than 1 million troops of various countries that received orders were completely withdrawn, and only 800,000 remained to continue the war.
The number of troops has been reduced by a large margin, which has also made the work of the Allied High Command much easier, at least for the time being, and there is no need to worry about military spending.
The remaining 800,000 are basically elite soldiers, of which 300,000 are elite troops from various countries, and the structure is still intact, and among the remaining 500,000 people, 300,000 are Chinese troops, 200,000 are Japanese, and the Chinese army left behind is the Eighth Army Corps commanded by Yang Jie, and the other Chinese troops have all been evacuated and returned to China.
Allied High Command.
Zhang Xiaozhun walked into the combat headquarters, and Cai Yi was studying the tactics of the people in front of the map. Hearing the voice, he turned his head and looked, "Yunnong is here." How's it going? ”
Zhang Xiaozhun took off his military hat and said with a tired face: "Oops, I finally sent all those people away!" This time. We're much quieter! ”
The two were looking for a chair to sit down, and Cai Ye said: "Yunnong, now that all those burdens are dismissed, it's time for us to travel lightly, how long will our remaining military expenses be enough for us?" ”
Zhang Xiaozhun said: "According to our current troops, it should be enough for us to use for two months, and after two months, we must cease fighting, otherwise logistics will be cut off, and food and other military supplies are easy to say." We have some reserves, the key is that the ammunition can't keep up, as long as the fight starts, the consumption of ammunition is a bottomless pit, and no one can do specific statistics."
Cai Ye nodded: "Understood, it seems that we only have two months, we have to hurry!" But now that the temperature is starting to warm up, this is beneficial to us, and it will not work for the Soviet and Russian sides to use the weather to contain our army's offensive! Let's think about how to fight next! ”
April 18th. The Allied forces launched an attack on the Soviet Russian troops from the west in three directions, and the White Russian army used 300,000 troops from the southeast to advance in the northwest direction, and at this time, more than 100,000 people deployed in the Ural Mountains in China also came down from the Ural Mountains and launched an attack from the east.
The Soviet and Russian sides were attacked from three sides. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and at this point the ordinary people in Soviet Russia began to lose confidence in the Russian leadership. They no longer supported the Russian authorities as they had done before, and the Russian army soon lost its way of getting supplies from the civilian population. In the absence of ammunition, food and grass, and being attacked from three sides. The Russian army was losing ground one after another.
In view of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the Soviet Russian side had to retreat to the north on all fronts, and Kolchak of the White Russian army took advantage of the situation to move north to occupy a large area of land left behind after the withdrawal of Soviet Russia.
At this moment, shocking news came from the Soviet side, there was another drastic change in the top of Soviet Russia, Vladimi was controlled by his student and follower Stalin, Vladimi lost all his power at once, and all the power of the top of Soviet Russia was held by Stalin.
Immediately after that, Stalin sent people to contact the Chinese high-level officials, hoping to stop the war and solve the problem through peaceful negotiations, why didn't he send people to contact the Allied High Command, but to contact the Chinese high-level officials, because everyone understood that the Allied forces were actually dominated by the Chinese State, and the Allied High Command had to follow the orders of the Chinese high-level officials.
Huaguo Jingcheng, Presidential Palace.
Yang Shiqi walked quickly into the president's office and said to Xiao Zhenlei, who was working: "President, there has been a change in Soviet Russia!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei's expression changed: "What happened?" ”
Yang Shiqi said: "Vladimi was controlled by Stalin, and now all the power in Soviet Russia is in the hands of Stalin, and Stalin sent people to contact us, hoping to stop the war and solve the problem through peaceful negotiations!" ”
"Oh?" Xiao Zhenlei stood up, things changed beyond his expectations, Stalin was so bold as to control Fladimi? This matter is indeed a bit big, and when he thinks about it carefully, this matter is beneficial to Huaguo.
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a moment and asked, "What does Mr. Yang think we should do?" Did you agree to negotiate with Stalin? Or refusal? ”
Yang Shiqi said: "From the overall point of view, I think it is better to keep Soviet Russia, if Soviet Russia is destroyed, Kolchak will greatly increase his strength after getting the territory of Soviet Russia, he will not necessarily listen to us, and if Western countries support him, he is likely to turn against us, but if Soviet Russia is left, it can not only let Soviet Russia contain Europe, but also let Soviet Russia contain Kolchak, if it comes, Kolchak can not lose our support, without our support for him, he is nothing."
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and asked the secretary to notify the staff group to hold a meeting.
At the meeting, Xiao Zhenlei said: "There was a problem on the part of Soviet Russia, Stalin controlled Vladimi, and all the power in Soviet Russia was held by Stalin, and now he sent someone to contact us, hoping for an armistice and a solution through peaceful negotiations. It's just that in this negotiation, what kind of conditions we want to make are in line with our interests and purposes."
Someone said: "President, I think that the territory of the former Russia west of the Ural Mountains should be divided into two, bounded by 60 degrees north latitude, north of 60 degrees north latitude to Soviet Russia, and south of 60 degrees north latitude to Kolchak's White Russia!" ”
"I don't think it's appropriate!" Yang Du stood up and objected, he said: "President, everyone! For us, neither Soviet Russia nor White Russia can be trusted, and the reason why Kolchak is now looking ahead of us is because he needs us to support him, but if we wait for a certain degree of his strength, we are afraid that we will not be able to control him! I don't think it's a wise move to weaken Soviet Russia to fatten Belarus, Russia's piece of cake is so big, but if we don't weaken Soviet Russia, once Soviet Russia stabilizes and develops by leaps and bounds, it will be a great constraint on us, so we still have to weaken Soviet Russia and let Belarus increase some strength, but we must control this degree, we can't let Soviet Russia be excessively weakened, and we can't let Belarus's strength increase too much, and even if Belarus grows in strength, it must be under our control. I think that the only way to divide the territory of the former Russia west of the Ural Mountains from top to bottom is to divide the territory of the former Russia into east and west, with the Volga River as the boundary, the east of the Volga River to Kolchak's White Russia, and the west to Soviet Russia, so that we can sandwich White Russia between us and Soviet Russia, so that Soviet Russia can contain Europe, we can control White Russia at any time, and at the same time we can let White Russia act as a buffer between us and Soviet Russia."
The others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard Yang Du's words, this is the best, so that Europe can directly face the containment of Soviet Russia, and put White Russia in front to contain Soviet Russia, China is behind White Russia, once White Russia is not honest, China can make a move against White Russia at any time.
At this time, someone asked: "President, if you put Soviet Russia in the west, will Soviet Russia break up its old suspicions with Western countries?" Once they get into trouble with each other, it's extremely bad for us! ”
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and shook his head: "This possibility is not impossible, but it is very small, after all, the thoughts, concepts and propositions are different, and it is not easy to reach an agreement on all these aspects, but we can't help but take precautions, on the one hand, we will continue to invest money, manpower and material resources in intelligence." In addition, after the end of the war, our troops in Europe cannot be reduced for the time being, especially in the Balkans and Cyprus! ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhenlei paused for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said: "I see that you all agree with Mr. Huizi's opinion, so let's implement this opinion, Mr. Huizi will be responsible for this negotiation, and determine the place, time and number of negotiators on our side with the Soviet and Russian sides as soon as possible!" ”
Yang Du stood up and said, "Yes, President!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei said: "Negotiate with Soviet Russia, we must also reach an agreement with other countries, after all, the allied forces are composed of countries, and the war is like this, and they must also be informed of the progress of the war and the difficulties encountered, for the current situation, negotiating with Soviet Russia is also the only way, and the Soviet Russian side will not be able to fight, which gives the two sides a basis for negotiation, so we must negotiate with Soviet Russia and need to obtain the support of various countries, and this matter also needs to send special personnel to communicate with various countries." Chief Lu, the matter of communicating with various countries will be left to your diplomatic department, and we will reach an agreement with each country as soon as possible to obtain their understanding and support."
Lu Zhengxiang got up and said, "I understand, please rest assured that the president."
After the meeting, a number of departments began to take action, all of which were for the purpose of negotiating with Soviet Russia and carried out preliminary preparations, Yang Du was busy with the central departments to participate in the negotiation team, but also busy communicating with the Soviet and Russian sides, and the two sides negotiated the place, time and number of negotiators.
Lu Zhengxiang, on the other hand, was busy informing the diplomatic envoys of various countries to hold a meeting to discuss the armistice negotiations, and it would be very simple to get this matter done well, but if it was not done well, he was afraid that this matter would not be able to end if it became a big problem.
