"What's the joy of?" Ren Yuanxing asked as if he was a little curious while pouring wine, he knew in his heart that He Rufei must have come to win him over today, and he also made up his mind not to participate in the factional struggle, but he only felt ridiculous about He Rufei's own methods of wooing. In fact, he can also see that it is not good for everyone to continue to quarrel like He Rufei and Li Delin, but it is inevitable that there will be factional disputes of one kind or another in the army, that is, there is no Baoding faction and Lu Da's faction, and there are also factional disputes between newcomers and old people. Wang Maoru can tolerate the existence of the two parties, one is that he knows that factional disputes are inevitable, the second is for the sake of old feelings, and the third is that the two parties have never crossed the line no matter how much trouble they have, but whenever Wang Maoru gives an order, the muzzle of the gun is unanimous to the outside world.

He Rufei saw Ren Yuanxing asking, so he smiled and said: "Working with Wu Ziyu, you have to learn to have a good temper, you can't stand a bad temper, the two have to quarrel, although Wu Ziyu is from a talented background, but he has a hot temper, hahahaha." ”

Ren Yuanxing nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, but I don't have a good temper." ”

"I knew it, I knew it." He Rufei shook his head and persuaded, as if he was indignant: "Fanchen, letting these old Beiyang enter the Ministry of Defense is really a historical regression. In fact, everyone understands what Xiushuai means, but the generals don't understand it, these people were our sworn enemies when we fought the country, but now they have become our superiors. Our old courtiers...... Alas, forget it, forget it, let's not mention politics today, only Fengyue. He clapped his hands, and the old bustard walked in with the warbler Yanyan, He Rufei smiled and said, "Fanchen, you are in the bitter cold land of your Western Regions." I'm afraid I haven't seen these Jiangnan beauties, right? They are all Yangzhou thin horses specially bought by Wen Yuanlou, let's see their ability. ”

Ren Yuanxing nodded and smiled, knowing in his heart. But he only pretended to be confused, He Rufei looked at him in his eyes, and there was a trace of evil smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the time of the transfer of officers, Ren Yuanxing's negotiations with Soviet Russia came to an end, and one of the core of the dispute between the two sides was the Kizil fortress, the most important oasis and fortress in the middle of the Kizilkum desert, which is best interpreted by the name of the Heart of Central Asia. Ren Yuanxing means that it is best to be able to keep it. However, the Russian delegate took the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and stated conclusively that according to the contents of the treaty, the city should be returned to the Russian government.

Ren Yuanxing believes that Kyzylorda's strategic significance is extremely important, and the Chinese have truly defeated foreigners for the first time, and its core battlefield is here. Its significance is no less than that of Huo Quai, the horse stepping on the Huns, and taking the Dragon Court directly. I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Western Regions will not agree to hand over Kyzylorda, especially the Yellow Dragon Legion, which is like the wolf's den of the Yellow Dragon Legion.

So Ren Yuanxing told Wang Maoru his thoughts, and Wang Maoru thought for a long time. Fang Cai sighed and said, "I know your feelings for Kyzylorda. This is the place where our army won a great victory, and it is also the place where nearly 30,000 soldiers of our army are buried. However, it is inconsistent with international law and our country is not yet capable of fully occupying it. The Western Regions still need to be developed, when will the Western Regions become the Western Regions of the Yellow Race, and when will we have the ability to keep this place. Moreover, the biggest advantage of the Heart of Central Asia campaign for us this time is that the strategic thinking of Soviet Russia is chaotic, and they are hovering between being tough on China or making peace with China, and Blyukhel is isolated and helpless, vainly trying to defeat us alone with elite forces. But if our army does not return. The Russian Empire will then take all its anger on us, a crazy rogue state. They would rather die than take a bite of us. Are we afraid of them? Don't be afraid, we will fight them to the death, their population is now a quarter to a third of what it was before the civil war, but what will we gain by fighting such a country? How much money did we lose in this war, and how many strategic reserves? Now China's national defense forces are strong in the outside and strong in the middle. ”

Ren Yuanxing was a little surprised, he learned about the combat readiness reserves in the rear, and said with a wry smile: "It's so strict...... If this battle is lost, wouldn't it be ......?"

Wang Maoru also shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "If you lose, we will almost lose the country." And to put it mildly, if Japan goes to war with China now, we don't even have the strength to expel them. Fanchen, why did you say why I gave up the Kizil fortress, it is because we can't fight anymore, and we can't afford to fight, if we continue to fight, China, whose industrial system has just started, will have signs of national destruction. You must know that war is not a continuation of war, war is a continuation of politics. In the 5,000-year history of civilization in our country, how many dynasties have died by ransom soldiers? With such a warning, we have to be on guard. ”

Ren Yuanxing immediately saluted and said, "Yes, Xiushuai." ”

Wang Maoru said again: "Okay, it's good that you know, although we want to return the Kizil fortress to them, we have a huge advantage, that is, the plateau advantage. Nowadays, China will have obvious advantages in the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Altai Mountains, and Pamir Plateau. If we build barrage dams in the upper reaches of the Syr Darya River, build hydroelectric dams, or divert the water of the Syr Darya River directly north to Lake Balkhash - then the heart of Central Asia will become a dry dead land. Of course, Wang Maoru is just talking, if he forces the Syr Darya River to be diverted, he will have to go mad at Soviet Russia, as the most important river in Central Asia, Central Asia is to the Syr Darya River what China is to the Yangtze River.

Ren Yuanxing smiled and said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that there will be another war between China and the Soviet Union." ”

Wang Maoru said: "The river is diverted, we can't afford to spend this money, in the past, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did two things in his life, digging the North-South Grand Canal and the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo, just these two things dragged the Great Sui Dynasty down." There are two other things you can explain for me, the first thing is to change the name of the Syr Darya River where the Russians married, restore the ancient name of China in the Tang Dynasty, Yehe, and the second thing is to rebuild Li Bai's hometown of Broken Leaf City, and our juniors in the province will not know whether Li Bai is a Chinese or a foreigner, now it is okay, Li Bai is a Chinese. ”

Solving the problem of the ownership of the city of Kyzylorda, that is, the Kizil fortress, is to solve the core of the entire Heart of Central Asia campaign, and the Chinese defense forces and the military agreed to return the city. However, due to the heavy casualties of the squadron here, many wounded soldiers could not move, so the return date was set to one and a half years later, that is, in the fourteenth year of the Republic of China (1925), and the return time of Kyzylorda was forcibly extended by one year. As compensation to the Chinese side, the Russian government withdrew its troops from Samarkand, and the two sides completely divided the two-river plain between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers with the ancient city of Bulongla as the dividing line.

It was a disputed place between the Russian government and the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and in fact it was in the hands of independent Uzbek independence militants, who were inextricably linked to the Kingdom of Afghanistan, and even the powerful Russian Empire could not do anything about it, although it was eventually annexed by the powerful Soviet Union. By throwing it to China, they are effectively handing over the trouble to China for the time being, but Wang Maoru likes it because it is the only one of the three most fertile plots of land in Central Asia that is not under the control of the Chinese government. (The land area of the Tsarist Empire was 18 million square kilometers, and the total area during the Soviet Republic was 22.4 million square kilometers, so the area south of the Syr Darya River to Iran and Afghanistan in Central Asia was not part of the territory of the Tsarist Empire. The total area of the later Russian Republic, which integrated the territory of the Tsarist Empire, was 17 million square kilometers, which was less than that of the Russian Empire, and the Republic of Alaska and Finland were less than the Tsarist Empire, so it can be seen that the Soviet Russian Empire actually expanded by 5 million square kilometers. ）

This is a naked partition agreement, which cuts off the land that originally did not belong to China and the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, the fertile land in the east is assigned to China, and the desert and steppe in the west and the lower reaches of the river become Soviet and Russian soil. The fact that the territory of China and the Soviet Union is located on the territory of other countries cannot but show that the rise of countries has been obtained at the expense of other countries -- as people, the Chinese have never felt anything wrong, and the Soviet Russians have never felt that there is anything excessive.

Subsequently, the two sides actively signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Conflict in Kyzylorda," in which China nominally acquired 260,000 square kilometers of fertile land in the eastern part of the Uzbek Khanate and eastern Turkmenistan as a result of the final division of the two river plains, bringing China's territory to an astonishing 14.86 million square kilometers. The western border of Chinese territory bordered the Kingdom of Iran and encircled the Afghan Khanate, while also cutting off Afghanistan's bordering territories with Soviet Russia.

In the Battle of Heart of Central Asia, which had a total number of 1 million participants, the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Kyzylorda Conflict" was finally signed under the active mediation of China and the Soviet Union, and there was no war in the Western Regions.

In Wang Maoru's view, having such a large territory (14.86 million square kilometers) is not a problem, the question is whether it can actually be occupied, that is, whether it can be stationed with yellow immigrants with Han Chinese as the main body. So far, West Asia is still dominated by the tribes of the Green Religion in Central Asia, and the people of the Green Religion are usually religious beliefs that are higher than national concepts and national laws, and Wang Maoru has to solve this difficulty. If it is just an immigration, then there are possible ethnic vendettas and terrorist attacks in the future, and he cannot leave the problem to future generations, which is not Wang Maoru's character. He never holds grudges, because if he has a vengeance, he will already take revenge.
