Chapter 685: Recovering Hailan Bubble (I)

"Commander Chen, our staff department has a plan, that is, why can't our Northeast Military Region take the initiative to attack? Since we have reached the northeast and the Russians have deceived us too much, there is no need for us to be polite to them. If we are like this, why can't we take the initiative and regain lost ground? Song Yang said.

"Reconquista?" Chen Liyan immediately frowned and asked.

Song Yang took the initiative to take out the map of Heilongjiang, and then began to point out on this map of Heilongjiang.

"This place was originally under the jurisdiction of General Heilongjiang, which belonged to our Chinese general, and it was called Hailan Pao at that time. It was in 1858, that is, in the eighth year of Xianfeng, that is, that it was officially forced by those Tsarist Russians to let the Manchu court sign the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty, and then it was ceded to Russia from then on. The Russians renamed Hailan Pao Blagoveshchensk, which means Annunciation City in Russian. However, the Chinese citizens on Hailan Pao have not been relocated, they still work and live on it. According to the provisions of the Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty, China still has jurisdiction over its citizens, but it does not have sovereignty over the land of Hailanpao. So, this has created a strange phenomenon, that is, we are our citizens to the people above, but we have no sovereignty over the land. ”

"If we start a big war in the future, then the people above are likely to be directly exposed to the Russian encirclement, and tens of thousands of people above will have to face the butcher's knife of the Russians, which is very unsafe. So I suggest that we might as well send troops directly and quickly, occupy Hailan Bubble, and then regain the lost territory. And in this way, it will also protect our citizens from being killed by the Russians, which is the duty of our army. ”

Song Yang didn't actually know that if the Russians had already begun to invade China according to the original history. They also slaughtered Hailan Bao a few months ago, which became the Hailan Bao tragedy in history. However, the rise of Wang Guorui in this time and space hesitation inevitably made the Russians pay more attention to Wang Guorui. Although they have lost 500,000 troops, and although the number of troops is many times greater than in the previous history, the Russians are much more cautious than before. Although this war was decided by the tsar slapping the table, the tsar did not have a real war mentality. But it is impossible for the generals below not to understand. The generals below are much more cautious because of the strong power of the Chinese Wang Guorui group. In the case of insufficient logistics, it did not dare to launch a large-scale offensive immediately. They have now begun to pour into China, but they are still steady, not too fast, and they have avoided falling into the trap of the Chinese.

Although the tsar was a military fool, they did not want to die for ordinary soldiers and officers, so they naturally faced the Chinese army very cautiously. And none of them directly slaughtered Hailan Bao, because Wang Guorui's strength was strong. So they don't dare mess around. The strong country dares to slaughter the weak country, but the strong country is more cautious about the people who are also the strong country, regardless of the chaos. And even if those weak countries have a war with the strong countries, even if the strong countries slaughter their people, those weak countries will not dare to let go of a fart, and even treat the other party's captives preferentially. This is also a scruple, because Wang Guorui's strength is strong, so that the Hailan Pao tragedy in the original history has disappeared out of thin air.

But. Now Song Yang is suggesting that Chen Liyan recover Hailan Pao, and it is obvious that Chen Liyan will be mobilized to recover the lost territory.

"We took the initiative to go abroad to fight?" Chen Liyan still has some concerns.

Song Yang immediately said, "Commander Chen." Why are the Russians only allowed to fight us, but we are not allowed to go out to fight. What's more, this is also our land, which was forced by the Russians to cede to us through unequal treaties, so it cannot be considered legal. And we are actually just recovering lost ground, not fighting abroad. What's more, even if you take a step back. Why can't we go abroad to fight? As long as we can go abroad to fight, do we just allow others to fight us? We are not allowed to go abroad to fight on our own initiative? What kind of bandit logic is this? ”

Seeing that Chen Liyan still had scruples, he took the initiative to say: "Commander Chen, this is really the first battle exploit to recover the lost territory, and the meaning of this battle merit is different!" To know. In the past, the only person who could have the exploits to regain the lost territory was Lord Wang! If you're the first to regain lost territory, you're ...... Well, I've heard that in a few months, Lord Wang is going to sit on that chair in the Jinluan Palace, and at that time, everyone's military ranks will probably be promoted. At present, you have just been promoted to lieutenant general not long ago, and Hu Wei, as chief of the general staff, and Director Zheng, who is his wife, are only lieutenant generals. If according to the original plan, when Lord Wang sat on that chair, then the two of them would be generals. And Commander Chen, since you have just been promoted to lieutenant general, I am afraid that it will be a little late. However, if the lost territory can be recovered at this time, it will be for the king to give a real gift before he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, and even a great gift that future generations will never be able to surpass. This is not only of military significance, but also of great political significance! When the time comes, maybe you can be promoted to general together with Chief of General Staff Hu and Director Zheng, who is his wife, and that is a really good opportunity! At that time, you are truly qualified to be the third-ranked general in the army. ”

When Chen Liyan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, because this was an incomparably huge attraction. You must know that currently in Taiwan, the person who can really be called the reconquista is Wang Guorui, because he recovered the ceded Taiwan. But Wang Guorui is not a soldier, so it is naturally impossible to receive this credit. In addition, Wang Guorui started from Taiwan, and his reconquest component is obviously not too high. If Chen Liyan can send troops to recover Hailan Pao this time, it will only be a small city, even worse than a larger county seat.

But there's a lot of meaning in that! The first general to regain lost territory, then the political significance is much greater than the military significance. If you can be the first to regain the lost ground, it is destined to go down in the annals of history, and this is a good opportunity to gain prestige. Although Wang Guorui has already occupied Nanyang, on the surface, he has expanded his territory, but everyone still has some strange feelings in their hearts. Because he has not recovered his lost territory, he has gone to expand his territory, so that many people in China do not say anything, but they are a little strange in their hearts. It's like someone else robbing you of your money, and then you can't get it back, and then you actually rob someone else? Although this is a way to recover losses, this nest in my heart is not so easy to solve.

Several big countries came to rob your things, and then you went to rob other small countries to make up for the losses, so no matter how you look at it, you have the feeling of "punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten". China has always advocated the philosophy of life that you would not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and this kind of thinking has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so it feels very strange to open up territory without being able to recover the lost territory, and it feels quite a bit of a feeling of bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

So in this case, even if Wang Guorui defeated Nanyang, in fact, the credit in the hearts of the people should be discounted, and it is not as good as imagined. But if you regain lost territory from the Russians, it will be different. This is snatched back from the hands of the Russians, not the weaker ones who bully the weak and fear the hard, this is the real reconquista! And if it happens this time, it will be the first person to regain the lost land, a real hero!

"In a few months, if Lord Wang becomes emperor, according to the convention, everyone will be promoted, and we soldiers will also make general adjustments to their ranks. However, I have not been promoted to lieutenant general for a long time, and it will definitely be difficult if I continue to be promoted. However, if you can make this first credit for recovering the lost territory, it will have extremely huge political significance, and it can be regarded as the first important gift to Lord Wang. At that time, when promoted to general, it was not a big problem. Even, most importantly, I can really establish my status as the third largest general in the army. ”

According to Wang Guorui's ranking in the army, generally speaking, Wang Guorui is positioned as a political leader, so although he actually controls the army, he is rarely ranked as a general's influence in the army. At present, Hu Wei and Zheng Hong are the first in the ranking of influence in the army, and the influence of these two people is equal to that of each other. Because Hu Wei is the one who controls the military order system of the General Staff Department, and he also has a group of old subordinates under him. And Zheng Hong is mainly more influential in the military and political system such as politics, logistics, equipment, etc., and she is still Wang Guorui's woman, so she is also more powerful in terms of closeness, and has the support of the Tiandihui faction, so she is naturally not afraid of any accidents. Even though the relationship between Zheng Hong and Wang Guorui is a little politically estranged now, she is still Wang Guorui's wife, and Wang Guorui still often has sex with her, but she rarely talks about those political topics in bed. But it's not impossible to cut off their relationship, after all, it's still a family.

And the next ranking is Chen Liyan. Chen Liyan is one of the oldest generals, the first to become a division commander besides Wang Guorui, the first to become the deputy commander of the military region, the first to become the deputy commander of the military region, the first to become the commander of the military region. Now he is the first to become the commander of a large military region, so his qualifications are very deep. But seniority does not mean status, if Wang Guorui is willing, then he can gradually suppress him and let the latecomers catch up with him. However, if he can be the first to recover the lost land, he is fully qualified to be promoted to general with Hu Wei and Zheng Hong, and the identity of the third person in the army is truly determined. If nothing else, if he can become a general in the future, he may enter the future Military Commission almost certainly, or even rank very high. (To be continued.) )
