"But..."nodded in agreement, but Cai Ye still hesitated. With the Russian Communist Party set up there, they will inevitably crusade against the Russian Communist Party first, but the question is, what if the Russian Communist Party fails to hold on? ”

"If the Russian Communist Party collapses under the attack of other countries, then they will definitely make us spit out the places we have occupied, and even if we can keep some, it will definitely not be comparable to the whole of Siberia."

"That's why I use the word support..."Facing Cai Yi's question, Yan Shao said with a smile. support, that is, not only did the Russian Communists replace the Romanovs, but even later we need to support them..."

"If the European and American powers launch an attack on the Russian Communists, then we will build fortifications in the Ural Mountains while supporting them behind the back, in short, to help them survive the attack of the European and American powers, and finally ensure their survival in Europe―――――― it is obvious that if we eat most of Siberia and Central Asia, the Russians will definitely be very unhappy, on the other hand, the European and American powers will also have a very fierce reaction, but for them, None of this is more important than their hatred for each other, so they simply don't have the ability to turn around and interfere with us until they get rid of each other..."

"And we just have to confront them in the European part while trying to consolidate our rule in Siberia, that's all, it's as simple as that..."

"Will those Russians hold on? Even with our support, I'm afraid..."Hearing Yan Shao say this, Wu Peifu said hesitantly.

After all, according to Yan Shao's plan. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be one or two countries that will go up to interfere with Russia. At least China, Britain, France and the United States will definitely do it, maybe Italy and other countries will follow, and in the face of so many countries, Russia itself has just ended the war and is in chaos, even with their support behind it, it is difficult to say whether it can hold on..."

And as long as they solve the problems of the Russian Communist Party. Then the next thing they need to solve should be the problem of China taking advantage of this opportunity to rob while it is on fire.

Yan Shao actually didn't have much bottom in his heart about this problem, after all, this time they wanted to swallow the whole of Siberia and most of Central Asia. With such a big blow, it is really difficult to say whether Russia can hold on. But...

"I remember that at the time of the intervention war against the Soviet Union, Siberia did not seem to be the territory of Soviet Russia, and in this case, Soviet Russia probably did not receive much support from the Far East in the process of resisting the intervention. Especially in Central Asia. It seems that Soviet Russia joined the Soviet Union a long time after the establishment of Soviet Russia, and even if they lose these two regions, as long as we support Soviet Russia in the rear, I believe we can make up for this part..."

Thinking of this, Yan Shao coughed lightly and spoke. "If you look at the region, you can see on the map, even with the loss of parts of Siberia and Central Asia, Russia's territory in the European part is still about the same size as the rest of Europe combined. It's even bigger than the rest of the world combined, and I'm sure you know that. For the most part, Siberia is inhospitable and cannot give Russia much support at all, so at least for the time being, losing Siberia should not be too much of a problem for Russia..."

Looking at the map, Cai Ye and the others had to admit that Yan Shao had some truth in what he said.

Although it seems that after the loss of Siberia, Russia seems to have suffered heavy losses, but in this era, the resources under the Siberian land can not be effectively developed, and it can even be said that Russia really used this vast area of Siberia after the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway a few years ago...

And for such a long time, Russia simply could not make effective use of the resources here.

Therefore, just like Yan Shao said, even if Siberia is lost, I believe that there will not be much loss for Russia. Of course, the Russians will definitely be in pain, after all, it is quite a large piece of territory, and if you lose such a large piece of territory, even if this place is very barren, just looking at the map, I am afraid that your heart will drip blood...

In fact, in the eyes of Jiang Baili and others, Siberia is also a very barren land, there seems to be no resources here except for the cold and trees, if it weren't for the vast territory here, and the honor that can be brought to himself and others after annexing such a large territory, I am afraid that Jiang Baili and others will not agree with Yan Shao's adventure plan at all―――――― it is indeed a risk, because it has been said very clearly just now, if their back road is suddenly cut off, how many troops will be sent, I'm afraid it's a very lucky thing to make it back alive...

Of course, taking risks is a risk, but the benefits are also very profitable, after all, the territory of Siberia is not much different from China itself, which is one of the reasons why they support Yan Shao...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"If you really want to do this, then you should start preparing now...", Cai Ye looked at Yan Shao. It is definitely not an easy matter to take such a large piece of land..."

"That's why I called you and Ziyu back from Europe, if you want to complete this mission, bold plans, cautious details, and want to complete the purpose of this time, these two are indispensable, so I hope that before Baili sets off for Europe, you can discuss with him and General Feng Guozhang and others to come up with a plan with the greatest success rate, so as to avoid unnecessary threats and losses..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Cai Yi nodded, and at the same time, the map that was originally hanging on the wall was also taken down. However, just as a group of people gathered around the map and began to discuss the details, Cai Ye came to Yan Shao's side and asked softly.

"President, in fact, I have always had a question, since our purpose is to seek Siberia, why didn't you sue Minister Sù Song for them..."

Cai Ye can see it clearly, even just now. Song Jiaoren did not appear in the conference room, and when talking about this plan, those high-level government officials who had appeared disappeared without a trace. The only ones who are still here today are the top military circles of the Ministry of Defense.

"This is also something that can't be helped..."Yan Shao shook his head, a little helpless. At present, the financial pressure in the country is indeed a bit great, and the most important thing is that in the case of sending hundreds of thousands of troops to Europe, it is difficult for me to guarantee that Minister Song will agree to our plan to send troops to Siberia, after all, there are many troops that need to be mobilized this time, I am afraid that there must be at least a million numbers, and this does not count the occupation of the Outer Khing'an Mountains―――――― in fact, we must occupy the Khing'an Mountains. Otherwise, if the Japanese follow suit......... Therefore, we must take the Outer Khing'an Mountains first, which is why we must wait and see for a while..."

"As for the others, if Minister Song is not even willing to go to Xing'anling. Then for the others, they are better than Minister Song, but the Outer Khingan Mountains are already the limit, and say to them that our real purpose is Siberia or something. I'm afraid I'll scare them. So this kind of thing, just sue them for a part..."Speaking of this, Yan Shao smiled at Cai Yi.

Yan Shao's most annoying thing is that someone is pointing fingers at him, which is why he has always ensured the authoritarianism within the government...

The problem is that this time the matter is too big, and it may no longer be useful to rely on simple autocracy, so Yan Shao must pull up to the upper echelons of the government, and the problem is that it is just like what Yan Shao said just now. Accusing them of their own plot against the whole of Siberia is too much of a spur to these people. It's better to tell them that their own plot is the Outer Xing'an Mountains, so that they can be more easily accepted, as for Song Jiaoren...

In Yan Shao's opinion, they are afraid that they will not even be able to accept it in the Outer Xing'an Mountains, so it is better not to tell sù about anything.

However, Yan Shao also knew that Song Jiaoren's nose seemed to be very smart, and now he seemed to have noticed something, fortunately, although Song Jiaoren's scouts of the Ministry of Integrity were stronger than the original, the gap was still a little big compared with the Special Affairs Bureau, so it was impossible to compare with the Special Affairs Bureau in a short period of time, let alone find out what the Special Affairs Bureau was concealing...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Cai Yi smiled helplessly.

However, he can't help but admit that Yan Shao's words do have some truth, if they really let Song Jiaoren know about this plan, they will definitely try to block it, in that case, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything, so it's better not to tell them anything, and take your time first.

Of course, the preparation for war must be done in some part, so it is natural to sue sù part first, but what they sue is only a part of what they can bear.

To be honest, in fact, Cai Ye is also very interested in this plan, after all, soldiers, expanding the territory has always been their long-cherished wish. In addition, this plan is by no means a blind action, and it is still very successful, which is also a reason why he is willing to participate.

It's just that...

Just when Cai Yi turned his eyes to the long table and was about to discuss it with others, he found that Wu Peifu was already lying on the table at this time, arguing with others about something, and he seemed to be very excited―――――― well, not seemingly, but really excited, it seems that he is probably the most interested in this plan...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In order to ensure that there will be absolutely no mistakes in the plan, as long as there is time these days, Cai Ye will go to Yan Shao with Wu Peifu to discuss the plan with Feng Guozhang and others, and even Jiang Baili, who was supposed to take office, forcibly stayed for Cai Ye for many days, helping to provide a lot of advice on the whole plan―――――― others may not know, but Cai Ye is still very clear about his friend's ability, so naturally he will not waste it...

At the same time, at the request of Cai Ye and others, the whole plan began to be gradually launched.

The first thing that needs to be prepared is materials, whether it is to attack Vladivostok and the Trans-Khingan Mountains, or to take the Central Asian Railway and occupy the Ural Mountains first, a large amount of materials are needed to prepare. After all, they are not just preparing for a campaign, but for a long-term occupation.

However, the Siberian region is very barren and has not been developed much over the years, and it is almost impossible to get material supplies from the local area. Therefore, it can only rely on domestic supplements.

However, according to the plan, the Outer Khing'an Mountains are only a secondary location, a place to attract the attention of others―――――― that is, people are mistakenly thinking that the attention of the National Government is only in the Outer Khingan Mountains. Confuse other countries.

Therefore, only a small part of the materials were prepared in the northeast region, and most of the materials were prepared in Lanzhou, and it was decided that after the opening of the Dilan railway, the materials would be transported to Xinjiang and wait for the right time...

On the other hand, swallowing Siberia is by no means an easy task, and it is more important to worry about the safety of the railway. The railways along the way need to be protected, so the strength of the troops must not be less, according to the plan of Cai Yi and Jiang Baili. At least a million troops were needed to suffice, so they were very much in favor of Yan Shao's decision not to send troops to Europe for the time being.

There is even a proposal to continue the expansion of the army, and the Nationalist government has now sent a large number of troops to Europe and the Middle East, if it is to send troops to Siberia. Then the total number of troops in the country will reach more than 1.6 million.

Here's the problem. You can't send all the troops out, and your own nest doesn't leave a single soldier, then obviously you also need to leave a lot of troops in the country, considering the threat from Japan, this number must not be less than 600,000...

Coupled with the troops needed to prepare for emergencies, Yan Shao and they had to expand the army by at least 2.5 million, considering that this number was too ugly, Cai Ye and Jiang Baili Jian yì expanded the size of the national defense force to 2.55 million. Among them, 2.4 million are in the army and 150,000 in the navy...

And so it goes. No matter what happens, there will be no problem ...

Naturally, this will definitely require a large amount of materials, so after the decision was issued, many domestic materials have begun to be transferred to the northeast and Lanzhou.

At this time, China was different from the former Qing Dynasty and even the Beiyang period, the government had a strong ability to control the local area, and the behavior of foreigners in China was not as presumptuous as in later generations, just over three months ago, the local government even caught some tomb robbers―――――― although they claimed to be archaeologists...

In fact, with the improvement of China's national strength, China's own civilization has gradually begun to attract some foreigners, and even some of China's cultural relics have begun to appreciate abroad, so it is normal that many foreigners have begun to focus on some ancient tombs in China...

That's the kind of thing I caught three months ago.

The whole procession, consisting mainly of seven Britons, as well as a number of hired locals, were all stopped by the local police, so to speak, with a spoonful of stew.

But what happened next was a bit of trouble, because later after learning that a citizen of his own country had been caught, the British consulate came to the door.

Fear of the ocean like a tiger, this word has been there many years ago, and even many years later, although China's national strength has improved a lot over the years, and many Chinese people's self-confidence has risen, but in the face of foreigners, some people's waists still can't help but bend down slightly...

Fortunately, they didn't dare to make an independent decision on this kind of thing, so they quickly reported the matter to the provincial government, which in turn reported it to the central government...

The end result is that these people are still in prison, and the British are certainly annoyed by this, but there is no solution, after all, it is illegal to rob tombs in any country―――――― even though they use the name of archaeology...

What's more, there are still many places in Britain that need to rely on China, so it is naturally even less likely to turn against Yan Shao and them.

Of course, this is only a small episode, but it also proves that the government has control over the localities, and it is true that those foreigners cannot move around the territory of China as freely as they did in the pre-Qing Dynasty, as if they were visiting their own homes...

Therefore, even if Yan Shao and them start to hoard supplies in Lanzhou and the northeast, it will not cause too many problems, but it will be a matter of army expansion...

That's a target of 2.55 million, such a big target has caused a sensation even within the government, not to mention abroad, many people have begun to speculate about the purpose of the Nationalist government's military expansion, and Britain and France have come directly to the door―――――― of course, while they are asking, they also hope that Yan Shao can send this part of the expanded troops to Europe.

Considering the strength of more than 2.5 million troops, even if Yan Shao sent 1.5 million troops to Europe, he could still leave more than 1 million troops in the country, although 150,000 of them were navy, and the army was only 900,000...

And in today's European soil, an army of one million is definitely a large force, and considering the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force in Europe, the British and French expectations of this force are definitely no less than the expectations of the American expeditionary force...

In order to win over this group of troops, Britain and France even promised weapons and military spending, obviously they also knew that it would be difficult for such a large army to fight overseas with the capital of the national government.

In this regard, Yan Shaozhi did not refuse, but agreed with his mouth, and even directly told Sù Zhu Erdian and others that the reason why he expanded his army so much was to solve the war in Europe as soon as possible. After all, this is a good excuse to expand the army, but in Zhu Erdian and Lei? When Kopa was overjoyed, Yan Shao had to regretfully tell him that if these troops wanted to go to the European battlefield, they would not be able to do so until October this year at the earliest...

Although the two regretted Yan Shao's answer, they were also very satisfied, and they did feel that this was the case, after all, China had mobilized a large number of troops, and China had never had such a precedent in the past.

It's just that...

Just as they said goodbye to Yan Shao's presidential palace and left, Yan Shao ran straight home, and then told Katerina to order Luo Wenying to let the Russian Communist Party completely replace the current provisional government by October this year...

This part of the army, but he kept it for the annexation of Siberia (to be continued......
