@@@@@

The chill is already evident in the Siberian morning at the end of September, when thin ice has drifted on the surface of the wide Mias River, and in half a month the summer river will enter a freezing period, when many parts of the south are even hot.

This is Siberia, the Siberia that is covered in snow and ice for half of the year. Mudslides, permafrost, snow and ice, north winds and bitter cold ravage all life here, so no one likes to fight in this kind of area, and Zarba hates it too. Hiding in the dark castle by the river, looking at the south, there is a deep sense of longing in his eyes. It was his home, the beautiful Caspian city of Mangis, but now he can't go back.

After being drafted into the army by the Tsar in 1914, he was ordered to kill the Germans, but the lack of food and equipment completely destroyed the morale of the troops, and the revolution happened. The unit was disbanded, and he went home with his companions, but on the way he was caught by some officers who opposed St. Petersburg, re-picked up his gun and sent here to continue the battle. He hated fighting and wanted to leave countless times, but the strict military orders and the deserters who were executed all over the land made him afraid to leave, so he could only stay up day by day, waiting for the end.

Zarba turned his head. It was an ordinary defensive bunker, with more than thirty people crammed into a narrow space. A lot of people just leaned against the wall and snored like that, only with a few beds in the corner. There were still a few naked ** women lying on the bed, who were said to be female spies of the poor Red Army, and the officers caught them and "punished" them first, and then stuffed them into the brave soldiers to continue to "punish", so that this key riverside outpost was often rewarded with this reward. Last night's collective "punishment" had made several women angry, and Zarba did not sympathize with them, in fact this kind of thing was being done on both sides. He just dreamed of one day being able to enjoy a woman alone and then bring her back to his hometown to get married and have children.

After glancing at the bulging white flesh and losing interest, Zarba pulled out his cigarette and walked outside to catch his breath. Cigarettes are Chinese, and matches are Chinese. Sometimes even he wonders, how much money do these things help Chinese earn? Of course, he was just thinking about it. This is the above thing, his task is to hold on to the two puffs, and a brownish-black flowing tide suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance!

Zarba, of course, would not have thought it was a flood, and the shaking of the ground clearly told him. That's the cavalry God! It's the enemy's cavalry! As Zarba fired a warning shot, the entire riverbank position suddenly became chaotic, and as soon as countless White Guard soldiers rushed into the position, the Red Army cavalry arrived in front of them. The fierce battle kicked off the Great War in Siberia. At the moment when the war in Andijan was still in full swing, Moscow decided to go all out in order to solve Kolchak and Dutov as soon as possible and curb China's penetration into the Central Asian region!

September 1919. Just when the Battle of Andijan was in full swing, Frunze mobilized more than 10,000 cavalry to set out from Orenburg, avoiding the many checkpoints along the way, and detoured hundreds of kilometers to launch a surprise attack on Chelyabinsk in the belly of Kolchak's department! The battle, known as the Eastern Campaign by the poor party, was in full swing.

The Irkutsk telegraph office was constantly being buzzed by the fires in the west, whether it was Andijan, Chelyabinsk, or some other region, where news related to Siberia and Central Asia would be sent and from here to all parts of the country through the telephone lines along the Baoku Railway. It is this transit. As a result, it has gradually become the center of information convergence in the north.

Because of this, Kolchak, who was here, was the first to get the news of the attack on Chelyabinsk. This made him very anxious, although at the moment they were all cavalry that lacked the ability to attack fortifications. You can't open a well-defended city, but you can hold back your side and wait for the arrival of the follow-up infantry, and if you don't go back, you are likely to defect and other things, so Chelyabinsk will be very dangerous! Once you lose Chelyabinsk, you will lose contact with Ufa, and the battle situation will be eroded in an instant!

But as soon as he walked out of the room, he bumped into Lu Zhengxiang head-on.

The scene in Sevastopol is still vivid, two sets of British Lomp ballistic solvers and a set of Russian-developed Exxon solvers did exchange for much-needed gun mount bearings, but before Izmail could continue to work, he encountered a revolution, and he was kicked to the United States for so-called study. This incident has always haunted him. Not only were the Izmail-class battlecruisers hopeless, but they also lost three sets of the world's best ballistic solvers! After so many years, China will certainly not be far away, even if it has not imitated it, and this will greatly enhance their shipbuilding capabilities, and will undoubtedly create obstacles to the recovery of Vladivostok and the Far East's access to the sea in the future.

But now is not the time to turn the other cheek with China, not to mention that at that time, people also sincerely took out the bearing exchange, so for the time being, he put aside this matter and asked politely: "Your Excellency the Foreign Minister." Is there something wrong? ”

Lu Zhengxiang was in poor health and was very afraid of the cold, so he put on his coat early, and when he saw that he and his entourage were carrying boxes, he pretended to be surprised: "Is the general leaving?" ”

"Yes." Kolchak didn't have the heart to go around in circles, and said: "I need to go back to Chelyabinsk immediately, please tell Your Excellency Yang Qiu on my behalf, I can't wait any longer." ”

Lu Zhengxiang naturally knew that the battle situation was urgent, and said with a smile: "I think the general can say this to the vice president himself." ”

"He's coming?!" Kolchak was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yang Qiu to arrive at this critical moment, and he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. If this is not a coincidence, this time was deliberately chosen! That young man who only heard his name was terrible!

But since Yang Qiu had arrived, it was not too much time, so Kolchak immediately went to the meeting room with Lu Zhengxiang. The former Irkutsk Governor's Palace has been stripped of the Russian logo, the flag of the Republic of China is flying high on the roof, and the industrial city in the Russian Far East second only to Vladivostok during the tsarist period has changed owners. This kind of picture is hated by every Russian who calls himself a patriot, but they have no choice now, and the support from Britain, France, and the United States is dwindling, and if they lose the support of China, they can declare defeat.

While Yang Qiu personally poured tea for him, he carefully looked at the man who was praised by Britain and the United States as the "supreme executive officer of all Russia". He is very tall, his skin is also very white, his demeanor is elegant, and if it weren't for the vice admiral's uniform on his body, he wouldn't look like a soldier at all. There are too many rumors about him, but it is only clear when he returns to this era, in fact, Yingmei did not put all the treasures on him, so he picked up the teacup and said very simply: "I know, you need support!" ”

Kolchak's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, he didn't expect this ruler of the Far East, who looked younger than the rumors, to be so direct! Nodding: "Yes." He didn't tell a lie, in fact, although Britain and the United States announced their support for him, they only delivered a total of 400,000 rifles, 150 cannons, 2,000 machine guns, and less than 200 aircraft and tanks in the past three years.

This support could not sustain such a fierce battle, and in addition to the fact that all industrial facilities along the Trans-Siberian Railway were dismantled by the Chinese Defense Forces in the name of preventing them from falling into the poor party, it was very difficult to even repair the guns, and if it weren't for the last time Dutov received 100,000 rifles and ammunition, I am afraid that he would have run out of ammunition and food! That's why he came here after being invited by Lu Zhengxiang, and waited patiently for half a month. After he heard that Yang Qiu had ideas to support him, he leaned forward and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Vice President, we all have a common enemy now, and I think we can have some cooperation." ”

His eager actions and words made Lu Zhengxiang next to him lament from the bottom of his heart, this all-Russian executive officer is not a politician at all and does not know any negotiation skills, maybe this is the reason why Britain and the United States elected him in the first place, right? Yang Qiu didn't seem to see his movements, and said very briskly: "50,000 volunteers, an infantry division that can leave at any time, and 300,000 rifles, 200 million rounds of various ammunition!" 100 tanks, 5000 barrels of gasoline, and supplies for wintering. The number almost made Kolchak and the interpreter next to him jump, but the words that followed made them plunge into the abyss.

"You know what I want!"

As soon as this last sentence came out, Kolchak's eyelids jumped! Immediately realize what the other person wants.

Gold! The former tsar's treasury that he controls!

About 300 tons of weapons have been used in the previous procurement of weapons from China and the United States, and there are still 600 tons and a large amount of diamonds of great value. But in the end, he was reluctant to move, because he wanted to use them as the basis for restoring national stability and development after the unification of the country in the future, but he didn't expect to arouse greedy eyes!

Kolchak clenched his fists, his face turned a little pale, and he called him by his name: "Your Excellency Yang Qiu, you are blackmailing!" It's blackmail! I will not accept such conditions! These words made Lu Zhengxiang next to him secretly scream, and when he saw him get up and prepare to walk outside, he couldn't help but look at Yang Qiu. After all, this is worth 600 tons of gold! Seeing that the monetary reform of the Republic of China is about to be implemented, it is the time when a large amount of gold is needed to stabilize the market, so it is very important to be able to get it.

Yang Qiu was still breezy and calm, looking at the corner of Kolchak's mouth: "General, it's about to enter winter, I believe this winter will be very, very cold!" There is a fertile land in the interior of our country that can allow at least 3 million people to live happily! ”

Two unrelated words, but Kolchak's shoulder, who was just about to go out, shook suddenly! …… ()
