[256] Don't be unpredictable
When it comes to Russia, many people think that this is a group of horsemen who are not wise enough and brave, but in fact, if Mao Zi was really unplanned, he would have collapsed in the process of continuous foreign conquest.
This people were conquered by the Mongols and slaughtered men above the chariot, invaded Moscow by Poland and established a puppet regime in bloodbath, and were tortured to death by the powerful Swedish army and navy again and again in order to fight for St. Petersburg, the Baltic Sea outlet.
The Russians say that suffering is a whetstone, and the Chinese say how difficult it is to prosper the country. It is after a hundred years of sharpening under the butcher's knife that the Russian nation has developed an extremely distinct personality.
Under the reign of Peter the Great and the successive Ming lords, Russia not only paid great attention to military strength, but also gave full play to the diplomatic cooperation and horizontal, and almost every foreign land seizure was to skillfully take advantage of the war-torn situation on the European continent and the complex alliances and secret agreements between countries.
The battle against Holy Rome, the war against Napoleon, the war against Poland, each time one after the other. Sweden, Ottoman Turkey, each war went on and on, year after year, once, twice, three times, four times...... After peace and war, war and peace, countless Russian soldiers, known as gray cattle, went forward one after another, defending the right to exist under the law of the jungle for this nation with their lives, leaving a vast land for their descendants.
Such a nation is by no means a simple horseman's bravery.
When Russia's cunning and fierce gradually developed into a super monster, it was finally feared by the whole of Europe.
This is normal, at this time Russia already has the Baltic Sea to the north, which can threaten the entire Baltic Sea and even the North Sea and the Atlantic; To the south there is the growing Black Sea Fleet, which can influence lifeblood such as the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Suez Canal; There is Vladivostok in the east, and East Asia under British control is eyeing it. Such a monster, everyone wants him to die quickly, not to mention that he also has a bad relationship with the international banking syndicate, and is regarded by the Jews as the number one anti-Semitic country in the world.
As the world hegemon representing the interests of the international banking syndicate, the British have long been disgusted and fearful of Russia's ambitions, and have constantly tried to put small shoes on Russia, and even directly intervened militarily in the wars in which Russia participated, bribed assassins to assassinate the Tsar, and financed various forces to riot #......
Historically, Britain joined hands with the United States to support Japan and lent $450 million to Japan, one of the main purposes of which was to support Japan in fighting the Russo-Japanese War and cut off Russia's covetousness for East Asia under British control. Even the secret financing of Lenin's return from Switzerland to Russia to start the revolution was to destabilize the country, and of course the consequence of this funding was an unexpected failure for the international banking syndicate......
After careful consideration, Yao Fan felt that in order to make Russia honest, he had to make him not see the temptation, but only the threat.
The only way to make a country immune to temptation, or even to the sake of profit, is not to give it a chance.
Vladivostok is Russia's only outlet to the sea in East Asia, and the only way to make Vladivostok is to take Vladivostok if Russia no longer sees the opportunity to intervene in East Asia and to prevent Russia from the east and the west from attacking and threatening China.
Shangshuo Tang, Song, Liao, Jin, Vladivostok has had Chinese activities since ancient times, until 1858 when the Qing government used a paper "Aihun Treaty" to assign to Russia, and in 1860 the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" ceded to Russia 400,000 square kilometers of territory in the Ussuri River region, including Sakhalin Island.
Historically, it was not until the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1891 that Russia was truly relieved to control Vladivostok.
Yao Fan decided to recover this ancestral land that had just been ceded for more than twenty years.
After the Supreme Military Council of the Central Committee of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission set the tone and general strategy for the war against Russia, all theaters under the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army immediately made unified arrangements; the Shenyang Theater, the Beijing Theater, and the Lanzhou Theater immediately mobilized all their strength; 12 of the 16 group armies under the three theaters were dispatched to march toward the Sino-Russian border in three directions.
At the same time, Yao Fan also issued a presidential decree, ordering the whole country to immediately organize 10 new group armies, from the current 40 group armies to 50. According to the current calculation of about 15,000 logistics and baggage troops in each group army company, the size of the army has expanded from more than 600,000 to more than 750,000.
But what is awesome is that this is far from the limit of mobilization in the Chinese People's Republic.
In the nearly six years since its inception in 1876, a large number of demobilized servicemen have been rehabilitated under the five-year military service system of the People's Revolutionary Army, and the demobilized and demobilized servicemen have established people's armed forces, militia systems, police systems, intelligence systems, administrative systems, and judicial systems throughout the country.
In terms of industry, the People's Republic of China in 1881 already had more than 2 million tons of steel production, more than 4.5 million tons of cement production, more than 3 million tons of pig iron production, 1 million tons of crude oil production, 400,000 tons of sulfuric acid production, 200 million tons of raw coal production, 20,000 kilometers of railway lines, 80,000 kilometers of cement roads, and 7 billion kilowatts of power generation.
Compared with the level after the completion of the first five-year plan of the new China, all the indicators are still short of three to five percent, but even so, compared with China in the 21 st century, all the indicators are still only one percent or even one thousandth.
But Yao Fan knows that with such industrial strength, it is not a problem to mobilize two million troops, and if you tighten your belt, four or five million can also be mobilized, and if you smash the pot and sell iron, it is not empty talk that all the people are soldiers, after all, the system of the socialist country is put there, and based on the mobilization power of the Soviet Union in World War II, it is completely possible to reach more than 90% of the national economy without collapsing, which no capitalist country can do.
At this time, the military operation against Russia was launched at the same time as the implementation of the first five-year plan, a nationwide radio network.
“…… Comrades, the Russian Tsar Alexander III's ambitions for China were as despicable as his father's, and despite our repeated toleration and even friendly offers of large loans and aid, we could not dampen the wolf-like greed of the Russian invaders.
In Yili in Xinjiang, in Kulen in northern Mongolia, and in Hailanpao, Heihe, Hunchun, and Dongning in northeast China, Russian invaders have repeatedly challenged the bottom line of the Chinese people, and armed infiltration and plundering of border people have occurred repeatedly.
China can't be bullied! The Chinese people cannot be bullied! The territory of China is sacrosanct! The Russian aggressors will be punished with the severest punishment.
The current situation is sinister, and the consequences are severe, and we must warn the Russian authorities not to be unpredictable. ”
Radio and newspapers all over the country have published this editorial in the People's Daily, and Yao Fan, according to his own taste, put the black phrase of not saying what is unpredictable at the end, and in the 21 st century, the subtext of this sentence is: Prepare a coffin.
Mass demonstrations began in the country as radio and newspaper reports continued to take place, with angry students protesting loudly outside the Russian embassy in China for days and nights, and rotten eggs and inkwell bottles occasionally flying out of the crowd and smashing around the windows of the Russian embassy's exterior walls.
Kryyan, the new Russian minister to China, was standing on the balcony of the second floor of the embassy, which was renovated last year, and was startled back by the protests below.
Kryyan anxiously ordered his subordinates: "Send another telegram to Moscow, quickly!" We must not fight a hopeless war with the Chinese in the Far East! The horror of this awakened dragon is not what the pot-bellied aristocratic talkers in the Kremlin can imagine! Once the war starts, our century-old business in the Far East will be ruined!
There are so many unknowns in this crazy rising country! Too much incredible! There is a terrifying potential hidden in its country!
Their people's support for the government is almost fanatical! Young people are loyal warriors who claim to be leaders! Everyone is proud of the sacrifice of the country! Once the war starts, we will be overwhelmed by the soldiers rushing in from all directions like a tidal wave! ”
As ambassador to China, Kerry Young has a clear understanding of China's current situation and development.
Since arriving in China early last year, Kriyan has been deeply struck by the fact that although Chinese law stipulates the territory and authority of foreign diplomats, even through Guò's careful observation of Beijing, Kriyan can know that the country's muscles are growing at an incredible rate every day.
The capital's streets are paved with concrete, and expensive jeeps, trucks and tractors run smoothly on the roads.
There are high street lamps erected on the side of the main road, which are continuous all night, and bicycles have their own special lanes, and the bicycle traffic during the daily commute is like ants pouring out of their nests;
The periphery of the city is like being wrapped around a large construction site, extending the outer edge of the city to all sides;
Various buildings have been erected, dozens of residential communities of five or six floors have been completed in the city, and new communities are equipped with heating, water and electricity;
More and more institutions and even individuals are installing telephones, and all newspaper kiosks in cities are equipped with telephones;
Xinhua Book City, a five-story shopping mall with a dazzling array of books on the shelves; Daguang Cinema City, with 12 screening halls; a super department store that sells a variety of goods; Elementary schools, junior high schools, and universities that accommodate thousands of students; community libraries; The National Library, which is expected to consist of 15 buildings, is under construction......
One novel thing after another has sprung up in this city, so that the people of this city have been glorified to the point of almost numbness. The eyes they cast on foreigners today are full of pride and pride, full of confidence, without the slightest numbness and fear mentioned in the reports of the Russian ministers in China decades ago.
There are no more adults with braids on the streets, and the braids that once accompanied the people of this country are now only found behind the heads of women and toddlers.
The dead radios sold in Russia and Europe cost only one-third of the price in Europe, and the government continued to distribute radios and batteries to workers as welfare, and now almost every household has a radio, large or small.
So far, scientists in Europe and the United States have not been able to understand the construction of Chinese radios, and they do not even know how to produce the outer casing, known as plastic.
After China refused to disclose its technology to the world for the fifth time, last month, the churches of various countries unanimously denounced the small pieces of centipede-like feet in the radio as devilish and evil things, and the new pope loudly called on believers around the world at the Vatican not to buy things that would make people fall into hell, claiming that the radio was made of devil's feces, and every time you listen to it, it will make people degenerate.
But despite the Church's criticism and opposition, businessmen from all over the world have procured equipment from China, commissioned installers and operators, and set up expensive commercial radio stations that broadcast music and songs in various languages provided by China every day, and of course, endless advertisements. And the nobles of the upper class are now embarrassed to say that they are civilized people as long as they travel, if they do not have a small radio on their wrists.
At last year's New Year's Ball held at the Austrian Imperial Palace, Queen Elisabeth of Austria hung a radio inlaid with diamonds and rubies on her wrist that was only the size of the bottom of a teacup, and was equipped with a soft-wired headset that was launched simultaneously with China, which caused a sensation all over Europe.
Kriyan visited schools at all levels in Beijing, and all of the students showed good nutritional status, showing the perseverance and manners that can only be cultivated under extremely strict militarized discipline.
According to the government of the Republic, China's expenditure on education accounts for 40 percent of the government's revenue, which is a terrifying proportion, and no country in Europe will provide free education and free school lunches on a large scale like China.
The government of the Republic even distributes uniform tailor-made clothing to students, which is simply the ultimate expense! Not to mention that China's universities are actually the so-called three-package education that includes food, shelter and clothing.
China's three-year primary school and three-year junior high school are compulsory education, which is said to have been popularized throughout the country, one-third of junior high school graduates can enter three-year high school, the rest will enter three-year business school, one-third of high school graduates can enter five-year university, and most of the rest choose to enter factories for internal training, or enter senior business colleges.
Universities in China are privately referred to by students as television universities, and it is said that more than eighty percent of university courses are taught in something called television. Despite all the legends of television, China had no plans to sell their so-called televisions abroad, and it was said that they would not begin to accept global limited orders until 1883, two years later.
It is a pity that Kryyan's warning did not wake up the Russian authorities, and Alexander III had already decided, after being refused by China to transfer #cede technology, to throw an olive branch to Britain to ease relations with Russia, and to use unfriendly actions against China as a petition to seek British support for greater benefits in the Balkans.
Of course, he also made up his mind that if China compromised, he would give Britain a closed door.
Alexander III was convinced that either of the two options would bring great benefits to Russia.
