Although Siberia and the Far East became two independent states, they did almost identical things. In addition to starting to carry out drastic reforms in the economy to imitate China, another important point is to rebuild a capable military force as soon as possible.

At the end of the Soviet Union, the economy was in serious difficulty, and the army not only had no money to continue to purchase new equipment, but also could not pay the salaries and allowances of ordinary soldiers, and in addition, the officers' dereliction of duty and lax discipline greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army. Although it cannot be ruled out that some Soviet troops are still capable of fighting, they are still far from being able to enter war at any time compared to the high level of combat readiness of China and the United States.

In Qi Yiming's view, once a real Russian civil war breaks out, it is impossible for him to send the strength of the PLA to intervene in the short term, so it still needs the Siberian Army and the Far East Army to resist for a while, which requires that the troops of these two countries cannot be too weak.

In order to digest the territory of Siberia and the Far East under disguised control, Qi Yiming took away the sub-base established in the Nanyang Republic and redeployed it in Vladivostok. The Nanyang State itself does not have a strong military industry, and in fact, with its strong military strength and there are no decent enemies in the vicinity, there is no need to deploy a base there, and whether it is to control the north, or to rebuild and inventory the equipment of the Siberian Army and the Far Eastern Army, the base is indispensable.

For the time being, Qi Yiming is not able to equip the troops of the two countries with more advanced and Chinese weapons, but they can be regarded as receiving a large number of Soviet-made equipment, more than 10,000 tanks alone, ranging from T-54/55, T-64, T-72 to T-80. It is relatively easy for the base tank factory to change the T-55 to 59D, and it can quickly improve the combat strength of these relatively old tanks, but the T-72 has not tried to change, and Qi Yiming is not very interested in changing these things, so he wants to go back and recycle these pit things after the war, and rebuild the VT-1A or something to Siberia and the Far East.

There is no need to change the various equipment made by the Soviet Union too much, because they are all consumables anyway, and even Qi Yiming is not very worried about the casualties of the Siberian Army and the Far Eastern Army, they are all old hairies anyway. It was only to the point of irreconcilability that he would prompt the PLA to move north into Siberia and engage the Russian army to protect the two countries from Russia.

Qi Yiming is not the most worried about the problem of equipment, because the equipment of the Russian army is like this, and the gap between everyone and the equipment is not large, mainly depends on the organizational ability, technical and tactical level, etc. Qi Yiming's biggest concern is that some soldiers of the two countries have excessive psychological disorders and do not want to shoot at fellow Russians, which will be troublesome.

Therefore, in the planning for the reorganization of the armies of the two countries in Siberia and the Far East, the issue of strengthening the political commissar system and the building of ideological style is actually the most important task in all affairs.

The ideological education course for the soldiers of the two countries was carefully designed, and the main content included a review of the bittersweet memories of the Soviet Union, a review of the greatness of the Soviet Union, the great role it played in the proletarian revolution, the dedication to defend the country and the fruits of the revolution in the Great Patriotic War, and then a review of the great achievements of the Soviet Union in economic construction after the war.

The main purpose of this was to make the soldiers feel a sense of honor for the Soviet Union as a symbol, and to know that the Soviet Union was not exactly as bad as Yeltsin and his henchmen had described.

Furthermore, the political commissars who preside over various ideological education courses will again begin to attack the Russian Federation established by Yeltsin.

“…… Yeltsin, with the support of Western conspirators, established a capitalist regime, he denied everything that our ancestors believed in and established, and under the false banner of human rights and democracy, he was willing to act as a lackey of the Western world, castrated the Soviet Union, desecrated the dignity of the Soviet Union, denied the history of the Soviet Union, and turned the Soviet Union into an unjust and decadent country. Even, he has dismantled our Motherland, and something called the Russian Federation has replaced her, my comrades, you are indeed ethnic Russians, but do you have the slightest sense of belonging and identity for such a twisted and ugly country? ”

"Nope!"

"Yes, our country is the USSR, not Russia, and Russia is our enemy!"

"Russia is the enemy!" The soldiers were inflamed and spoke in unison.

The political commissar continued: "Those scum who have lost their longing for revolution, their respect for the people, and their enthusiasm for socialism have been easily tamed by the West, and there are also those so-called liberal intellectuals who pretend to be high but do not understand the four or six, who have never contributed anything to the construction of the Soviet Union, but who want to smear our country and our CP with ugly things.

Do you know what's going on in Russia right now? People still can't buy the necessities of life, they don't have bread, they don't have cured meat, but they are given a bunch of useless 'privatization vouchers', and those who were shameless high-ranking officials use the resources of the state to buy these things from the people, and then openly turn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of self-produced into their own. State-owned assets and people's wealth are being lost in large quantities, and the people still can't eat, and life is difficult!

And then there are the big foreign conglomerates, who take advantage of this opportunity to loot our hard-earned assets and take the techniques developed by our best minds for their own use, and those shameless Russian officials, without any patriotism or sense of responsibility, arbitrarily hand over everything we have to the Westerners, in exchange for a little help, but they do not see that the West only wants to see the collapse and decline of our country, and is not really helping us! ”

Another important aspect of ideological education, as the commissar recounts, is to show the soldiers that Russia, born from the Soviet Union, is by no means a happy and promising country, but that all sorts of ugly things are happening in this country, and that they can lead to even greater disasters.

Of course, the most distinguishing person should be ideology, almost the people in the military's ideological and political system, one hand and one Russian version of "Qi Jingren's Theory on the Development and Evolution of Socialism", constantly express to soldiers and officers at all levels, socialism is still an advanced and progressive social system, the Soviet Union has twists and turns in the process of development, but it does not mean that this is a dead end, on the contrary, the road of capitalism is the real end of the road, and now the wealth and comfort of Western countries is actually a return to the light, It won't be decades before an even bigger crisis will crush them.

Qi Yiming never thinks that "brainwashing therapy" is wrong, people themselves are constantly learning what is passed on by the outside world, they can choose to believe or not believe, but in the end, people have no self-generated consciousness, and they are all influenced by others subtly. Rather than really not caring about their spiritual world and letting those things from the West be instilled in their heads, it is better to pass on your own thoughts directly to them. Some people can naturally choose not to believe it, but many of Qi Yiming's theories are supported by rigorous logical arguments and facts, and for those who grew up in red countries, it is actually much easier to trust than the so-called democracy, freedom, and capitalism.

The effect of this ideological, political and style construction is obviously outstanding, and for a time even Qi Yiming felt that the morale of the armies in Siberia and the Far East was even higher than that of the PLA, which was probably the stress reaction after trauma. Even some people in the army proposed that they should fight across the Urals, liberate all of Russia, humanely destroy the traitors of the Soviet Union, and let the red flag fly again on this land.

Qi Yiming didn't think there was anything wrong with such an idea, he just needed people from Siberia and the Far East to have a basic hostility towards their compatriots and Russia, just like North and South Korea are now.

It is clear that Yeltsin is not willing to give away more than 10 million square kilometers of vast territory, with which Russia has the potential to become a superpower, and without these 10 million square kilometers, Russia is still a great power, but it is no longer possible to win the leadership of the world.

The idea that Siberia and the Far East are the remnants of the evil CPSU and that they are terrorists who split the country has become a mainstream propaganda voice in Russia, especially among the masses who do not know the truth, constantly calling on Yeltsin to use thunderous means to defeat these two blind separatist forces.

In contrast, the military is hesitant to do this, because the military knows its own affairs, and with Russia's current strength, it can only launch a war against Siberia and the Far East unless it mobilizes the power of the country, and it is unlikely that a small fight will threaten the security of these two countries. What we are talking about here is not something that can be done by one or two divisions or one group army, but a battle between dozens of group armies and hundreds of thousands of troops. Even after collecting the amount of armed power from the republics, the Russian army still did not have full confidence that it would be able to completely defeat the republics of Siberia and the Far East. What's more, these two separatist countries also have the excess nuclear weapons left over from the Soviet Union, and if they launch a nuclear offensive at the end of the road, then Russia will basically be finished.

Yeltsin was also well aware of this, so he adopted a safer method, and the KGB was re-used by him, and a large number of agents were sent to Siberia, some pretending to be Soviet communists, some pretending to be refugees, and their main mission was to incite chaos in Siberia and the Far East, and to plot against important figures in the government and army against Yankov and Novozlov.

In this low-cost way, if you can achieve the goal, it can be regarded as the most cost-effective.
