Chapter 168: Operation Hamster 4
If Turkey puts Wrangel back at this time, then there will definitely be a lot of excitement in Soviet Russia. But Lao Maozi is not a fool, after they found out that there was a problem with food, they immediately mobilized the garrisons in various places, and all regions in the European part of Soviet Russia are now under curfew, which shows the strictness of the control.
If Turkey wants to put these "elites" back at this time, it really has no place to insert a pin.
However, just because it doesn't work in practice doesn't mean it doesn't work in theory. Kemal's idea was endorsed by the Entente in the course of Turkey's foreign negotiations. What Entente was Turkey's enemy? Then compared to Turkey, Soviet Russia was the great enemy of the Entente, and Turkey was just a small problem.
Since, unable to command these arrogant White Russian masters, they have to let them consume the grain that is not rich in Turkey in vain. Kemal wanted to let them go back wherever they came from, so he contacted the cruise ship and sent them back to the shores of the Black Sea.
But tensions within Soviet Russia made this plan unrealistic. However, Farrel Tucker gave him an idea to ask Kemal to call him. The West is not bright, the East is bright. These people can also be sent to the Far East! Isn't there still a war going on there?
Kemal thought about it, it is true that Japan was a member of the Entente during World War I! And this will be a lot of fun for the Far East!
Therefore, at the negotiating table of Turkey's foreign peace talks, this matter was again put on the negotiation table.
As a result, when the news reached Japan, the Japanese immediately raised their hands and feet in agreement, which would be worried about the lack of manpower! Because the Far East army is pressing forward step by step, Japan's interests in the Far East are slowly being spit out. Japan has already begun plans to recruit 100,000 troops from the largest power in the universe, put on the clothes of the locust army, and pull to the front. It would be even better if there were these hundreds of thousands of White Russian troops.
Japan only needed to pay for the cruise, and Britain, France, and Italy, among the Entente countries, agreed to send fleets to escort them. However, Farrell Tucker can't earn the intermediary fee of the stingy Japanese, who shop around and choose the cheapest cruise ship, as long as it can be delivered anyway. As for the comfort of passengers on board during a long voyage, do you think the Japanese will consider it?
Of course, before they left, Farel Tucker had already "contacted" the exiled White Russian military officers Kutepov and Miller, and had already made a "cordial" condolence, and these two became "their own people". Britain, France, and Italy, and even Americans, who are far away from another continent, are doing the same thing. They began to support their agents in the White Army on this expedition to the East, and were ready to get a good share of the pie in the Far East.
As for Soviet Russia's "one-size-fits-all" and the next cards played, Zhao Yun was unexpected.
In this operation, Zhao Yun only sent spies and "his own people" to lead the way and get the peasants into the grain depot.
Although Ukraine and other places are the granaries of Lao Maozi, the garrison is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and a large number of garrisons are facing outward, after all, no one knows that the mill in the camp is a big belly!
As soon as the peasants entered the granary, they set up a mill, and then it was a word "move"! A layer of surface was left for the granary, and the inside was completely hollowed out. The original purpose was only to sneak attack Lao Maozi's granary, causing a shortage of food in Soviet Russia, and unable to give enough food and grass to various military districts, so that he could not send troops to support the fighting in Siberia.
Afterwards, some of them were sold in Eastern European countries and Turkey, and a large amount of dumping at any cost was used to cause a local impact, which attracted the attention of Lao Maozi. It intensified the diplomacy of Soviet Russia, led to a surge of contradictions between Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union, and the two sides entered into military confrontation intentionally or unintentionally, containing a large number of Soviet and Russian troops in Europe.
Even if Lao Maozi didn't think about it in this regard, then after finding out the reason for the disappearance of grain to no avail, they would definitely think that it was the insiders who gave and received it privately, and the smuggling and trading led to the emptiness of the treasury and intensified the contradictions among the top leaders of Soviet Russia.
It's a pity that the world is impermanent, Lao Maozi just doesn't follow Zhao Yun's plan, the first step of the action is considered successful, but the second step is not effective in a short time. So Zhao Yun was not in a hurry to sell it, and took all the food back to the rioters.
However, it is not only Zhao Yun's family who uses his brains in Soviet Russia, this is not Zhao Yun, the black hand hiding in the shadows, has just stopped, and a country on the bright side has swaggered and stood up.
"Poland!?" Hearing this news, Zhao Yun first felt not shocked but laughed, he never expected it. From the mouth of his own spies, he would even say that Poland, a country that was later destroyed by the Soviet Union and Germany during World War II, dared to single out Lao Maozi openly at this moment.
But we have to face the reality, Poland can also be called a second-rate country in Europe at the moment, and it is the peak of the second rate, only one step away from a first-class country. It is not a half-star victory with Greece, which is also a second-rate country, Greece is at the bottom of the second-rate, and after the Greek-Turkish war, it is about to fall to the third-rate sequence.
At this moment, Soviet Russia has just experienced a civil war, and its vitality is greatly damaged, and the scars of World War I have not fully healed, but Poland is not a fool, after all, its position determines its fate.
At this moment, Poland had just split from Russia and became the eastern gateway to Europe, if not a stainless steel door, but at least a large iron door. However, Poland did not want to be threatened by Soviet Russia every day, and it wanted to add an anti-theft door outside the big iron gate. So Ukraine's geographical location dictated that it was the most suitable choice.
Given the point, given that there was a gestation period of more than a month, slower, or even two months, between the start of Operation Hamster and the full outbreak of events. Poland is not an afterthought, because it has just split out, so for the Ukrainian region, Poland has deep connections, and many news reported to Moscow, Warsaw can also get the same news in a short time. So as soon as the news was received, Warsaw launched an operation.
Afterwards, according to the intelligence summary of various spies, Zhao Yun was shocked to find that the main force in the large-scale resistance movement that broke out in Ukraine afterwards turned out to be the people and soldiers in Kyiv and other grain-producing regions of Ukraine......
It was in the summer and autumn of the following year of the Russian Revolution, the bourgeoisie in Russia failed to reorganize, and a civil war broke out for several years, involving many regions, including Ukraine, so that a large number of young and strong people were conscripted, large areas of farmland were idle, and a large number of crops to be harvested were either destroyed or left to fend for themselves.
From May to August of the same year, there was a large-scale Cossack civil strife in Kiev and other places, and this time the military disaster affected all counties and counties, which made the young and strong people in the Ukrainian region who had been evacuated were not many young and strong again, and they were once again either slaughtered or forced to pick up knives and guns. The grain output in this area has become even more stretched, and the people in many grain-producing areas are barely able to eat and wear, let alone not rich in grain-producing areas.
What is outrageous is that among the businessmen all over Russia, many bad businessmen have taken advantage of this opportunity to secretly accumulate grain and grain, raise grain prices, and make a fortune as refugees, preferring to burn the surplus grain in the treasury with a fire rather than giving credit to the desperate Russian people, causing the people in various parts of Ukraine to accumulate resentment and frequent riots. The Russian army quickly intervened at this time, and soon pulled up dozens of troops.
November of that year. The Kiev region first broke out in a rebellion of 100,000 people, and the governor of the Kiev region was killed by the agitated people by mistake in the process of persuading the rebellious people. This turned things from a protest at the beginning to a bloody crackdown.
Of course, the rebels with soldiers and commanders are not so easy to deal with, so after the incident, the Soviet Russian government began to enter the Ukrainian region, but about 100,000 rioters in this riot have fled to Eastern Europe, that is, Poland, Belarus and other countries, fearing that the Russian government will settle accounts afterwards.
After the Soviet Russian government completely mastered Ukraine, it found that there were very few local residents, and it was too late to chase them, and Moscow had no intention of pursuing them, so they gave up and distributed grain and fields to the people who remained in Ukraine, and the rest of the rewards were given to the meritorious men in the army, and several agricultural reclamation regiments were expanded. At the same time, they also began to track down the culprits of hoarding grain and raising the price of rice, and hundreds of merchants who did not participate were "spit and spit out", and their family property was naturally taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and many of their family members were sent to Siberia, and there were many such people in the baron's army under Zhao Yun.
A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. Such a thing happened in Ukraine, and what the Soviet and Russian governments are most worried about at the moment is the recurrence of the incident. Compared with the vast, but sparsely populated Siberia and the Far East, the affluent and densely populated Europe undoubtedly attracts more attention from Moscow.
However, after the "hamster operation" was exposed, the matter did not end as quickly as the Russian government imagined. When the Soviet Russian government was busy dealing with "provocateurs" everywhere, many people who fled to Eastern Europe actually returned to Ukraine, depicting Eastern Europe as a paradise on earth, as if the moon there was also rounder than in Soviet Russia.
After these mouths that can turn straw into gold bars, nearly 70,000 or 80,000 rioters in the Ukrainian region began to flock to the Polish border. Since they were all natives, the local garrison also turned a blind eye, and even some soldiers followed the crowd. But in less than a week, for some reason, news spread along the way that Moscow was about to send a large army to encircle and suppress the rebels. Hearing that the war has broken out again, the Ukrainian regions that have been plagued by military disasters are even more apprehensive, which makes the people nearby obey one after another. So much so that when the Russian army came to Kiev, they found that the villages everywhere were completely missing except for the old and weak who could not walk.
By the time this group of refugees came to Zhytomyr, it turned out to be all over the mountains and as far as the eye could see. After seeing such a large-scale flow of refugees, local officials did not even dare to open the city gates, let alone go out of the city to help, and some only closed the gates and turned the refugees out of the city.
