Chapter 232: Malinovsky's Price
The envoy fell into a sudden incoherent speech, which made the Russian major general feel embarrassed, perhaps it was the fierce battle and the pressure of the shadow's entourage that made his appearance a little broken, but it was indeed a great surprise to him to be able to collapse like this
The major general was none other than Malinovsky, who was in charge of the attack on Suidong, and now he met Wu Xiaoliang here and was rescued by him, so he also had a strong interest in this young Chinese general, and he actually came to the Suidong army alone despite the opposition of his subordinates, he wanted to see what the legendary general who had defeated him before and now saved him was what it looked like, Malinovsky really didn't expect that this famous Siberian major general would be so young
"Young Chinese general, on behalf of the Soviets and the people of the Far East, I welcome you and express my sincerest gratitude for the help you have given us," Malinovsky said as he enthusiastically stretched out his hands, Wu Xiaoliang was baffled by this person's enthusiasm, but still politely stretched out his hands to shake them, he only felt that the other party held his hands tightly and shook them up and down a few times
Malinovsky continued with a smile: "Introduce myself, I am Malinovsky, the first secretary of the Soviet Far Eastern Bureau, and I think we have a common enemy, that is, Kolchak's White Bandit Army, and Semenov's Cossacks."
What what Malinovsky Wu Xiaoliang was a little suspicious of his ears, this person turned out to be the commander of the Soviet Far East Front, the Soviet Marshal, who later controlled Far Eastern affairs for a long time, and even served as the Soviet defense minister, what is even more rare is that as a high-profile figure in military circles, he avoided Stalin's previous purges, which shows that this person is not simple, Wu Xiaoliang was an authentic military history lover in his previous life, Malinovsky is well known to the Chinese, not because of his above experience, but because he openly made extremely arrogant and provocative remarks against the delegation of New China to the Soviet Union in public, and caused tension in Sino-Soviet relations at that time
In the various descriptions of him on the Internet later, Malinovsky's high-flying, domineering, and stubborn personality was more negative than positive, but Wu Xiaoliang knew that a senior commander and fighter of an army could safely survive the previous movements in such a cruel political struggle environment at that time, and he must have a keen sense of smell and IQ of ordinary people, so he must not simply express his gratitude for the assistance of the Suidong Army this time, and there must be another purpose, and his willingness to cooperate is implied in this statement, of course, if the Suidong Army can catch his line, it is invisibly equivalent to finding a window to talk with in the Soviet Russian camp
At this time, Soviet Russia had not yet achieved a decisive victory in Russia, so the Suidong Army could take advantage of this opportunity to talk to these Bolsheviks about the territory that originally belonged to China in the Far East
"It's not enough to raise your hands, and I don't know if the general is here in person."
Wu Xiaoliang kept enough distance from Malinovsky in words and attitudes, and did not want him to feel that he actually wanted to cooperate with him in his heart, but Malinovsky did not hide his true thoughts at all
"If General Wu can cooperate with us in dealing with the rampant Kolchak, completely ousting him from power and liberating the toiling masses under his rule, the Russian people will not forget the friendship of the Chinese comrades."
Wu Xiaoliang was surprised that his straightforward cooperation was a good choice, but since it was cooperation, there were naturally conditions to negotiate, and it was necessary to sell him first
"Kolchak is said to have 400,000 troops, and now he has 40,000 Czech legions, which can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and the Suidong army only has tens of thousands of horses, if he openly opposes it, I am afraid that he will die and have no place to bury."
Malinovsky originally did not intend to persuade the Chinese general to cooperate with him in a sentence or two, he also suddenly had the idea of cooperating with him in an instant, knowing that he came to the Suidong army to meet this young general in person, he was more sure of the correctness and feasibility of his ideas, Wu Xiaoliang is indeed a very suitable partner for cooperation, at present, the only problem between him and the Bolsheviks is that he once recruited the local bandits in Siberia, who have caused several tragedies in Suidong, and these tragedies are indeed not from his instructions, after he was defeated and withdrawn, he was very annoyed after learning the news of the tragedy
For this reason, Malinovsky also deliberately investigated the initiator of this matter, Yakov, after some investigation, this Yakov under the banner of Bolsheviks in the Far East can be described as a crime, and the slaughter of cities and villages abounds, but this person is extremely cunning, and the night before Malinovsky ordered his arrest, he quietly disguised himself and fled from the Soviet Russian army, and his whereabouts have not been known ever since
Later, Malinovsky received orders from the Central Committee to rebel in the area east of the Ural Mountains in Siberia, and they openly supported the Russian military junta established by Kolchak in Omsk, and according to reliable information, their rebellion was under the command of a French general, and the Far Eastern Bureau had to thwart the imperialist plot to intervene in Soviet Russia and at the same time authorize it to form the Far Eastern Front
Although it sounds like this Malinovsky's title is outrageous, the Far East where he is wrong is actually separated from the Soviet Central Committee by a Kolchak's White Russian regime, which is completely behind enemy lines, and working behind enemy lines is not an easy task, Kolchak's sudden rise brought a lot of trouble to Malinovsky, and Kolchak's idea of fighting foreign Mongolia made him see the possibility of cooperation between the Far Eastern Bureau and the Suidong Army
"Your Excellency, General, the people of the Soviets will not forget the friends who helped them, and I know that your military operations in Outer Mongolia are in trouble, and the Soviets can give you appropriate help and reward here."
Malinovsky's price was very attractive, but Wu Xiaoliang couldn't happily agree, he couldn't let this ambitious Soviet Russian major general probe his hole cards clearly
"The Suidong Army is very much looking forward to your army's assistance, but we are still anxious ourselves, and we don't know where we can cooperate appropriately for your army's assistance in return."
When Malinovsky heard Wu Xiaoliang's not direct answer, he immediately keenly noticed that there was a lot to be done, and he couldn't help but rejoice
"Our army has long been harassed by Semenov in the south and west of Lake Baikal, and now that the Czech Legion is in rebellion, they also have a tendency to take advantage of the situation and plunder, and I hope that General Wu will cooperate with us to completely destroy the public enemies of these people on Russian soil."
