Chapter 611: Heading North (1)

The beginning of November is the best season for many people. Especially for northerners, after a more sultry season, a season like November, which is colder but not so cold, is better, and similarly, a hotter but not so hot season is really good.

And on the border not very far from the Sino-Russian border, in a somewhat deserted railway station, several Russian soldiers were lying lazily on the blankets on the platform, basking in the not very hot sun there...

Not only them, but almost all the Russian soldiers in the entire train station looked lazy, as if they were bored of doing anything. In fact, it is true for them.

After all, this is the Far East, and no matter how hot the war is in Europe, the war there will not be a threat to them in Siberia. Their daily work is also very simple, just here to check some supplies destined for the country, but the frequent change of power in the country is a big blow to these soldiers.

The original Tsarist government is also counted, although they were all soldiers loyal to the Tsar at first, but the original Romanov dynasty was a little too corrupt, and the entire upper echelon was almost completely corrupted, plus the Eastern Front battlefield was almost defeated in consecutive battles against the Germans, although their location is considered the border between China and Russia, many of the supplies that supported Russia were transported into Russia through GuΓ², and then transported to the Eastern Front or the European part of Russia by the Trans-Siberian Railway. But very little of this material made its way into the hands of these soldiers. Most of the heads were taken by their superiors, so after Russia was in trouble, their soldiers stationed on the frontier also had a difficult life. Naturally, it was more difficult to keep these soldiers willingly loyal ...

Therefore, after the overthrow of the Tsarist government, although the vast majority of soldiers had some imitation of the future in their hearts, there were also many soldiers who were secretly happy in their hearts, thinking that Russia was about to be reborn―――――― after all, Russia had been ruled by the Tsar for hundreds of years, and it was not like the Qing government in China to the extreme, and was almost reviled by the world.

Although Russia is brutal at home, it is still relatively tough on the outside. Over the past few hundred years, it has indeed expanded its territory.

Therefore, for the later provisional government, there was no one who did not support it...

But who would have thought that the Provisional Government had only been established for a long time. It was overturned.

Now only a few months after the February Revolution? And in their place was a bunch of Bolsheviks.

Although the Russian Communist Party has a good reputation among the lower classes in Russia, it is a very strange party after all, and it still advocates the so-called proletariat......... It is almost impossible to say that these Russians in the Far East are not apprehensive in their hearts...

Now, I am afraid that what they are most worried about is how the Russian Communist Party will treat them. Although at this time the scope of the activities of the Russian Communist Party was limited to the European part of Russia. Activity in the Far East is still weak ...

However, despite this, the establishment of the Soviet Russian government still had a great impact on their daily lives, the most obvious of which is. Since the establishment of the Russian government, the supplies that had been transported to Russia by rail immediately disappeared.

This is true not only of the biological materials that lead from China to Vladivostok, but also the part that originally landed from Vladivostok and then went to Siberia via the China Eastern Railway. Obviously, after the establishment of the Russian government, the United States and the Japanese also cut off this part of the supply of supplies, in fact, even if they kept losing the power of Vladivostok, it was impossible to do so. After all, the current Soviet Russian government has nothing to do with them, and will even threaten their interests and power. How could they possibly send something to Soviet Russia in such a situation...

As a result, from the outbreak of the October Revolution and the establishment of the Russian government to the present, about half a month, these people have hardly seen a train pass here...

"Captainβ€”" leaned against the wall, basking in the warm sun, and one of the soldiers, who still looked very immature, said to the captain next to him, who was also basking in the sun. After the new government is formed, it won't do anything to us, right? ”

"Don't worry...", the lazy, captain's head was not raised. People are busy, how can they take care of us little shrimps, anyway, if those Russian communists can really come here, we will listen to what they say, and there will be no big problems..."

Saying that, the captain yawned, no way, life is too boring.

Of course, although he is very relaxed on the surface, this does not mean that he is also in his heart.

Since the Strait of Gallipoli was blocked by the Turks, there have only been three Russian channels to the outside world, one is to take the port of the North Sea, the other is to take Vladivostok, and the last one, of course, is the GuΓ² Eastern Railway, such a line through the Trans-Siberian Railway, in fact, Vladivostok is also the same.

One of the main reasons why the Russians wanted to build the Eastern Railway was to connect Vladivostok (Vladivostok), an important town in the Far East, with the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Incidentally, the Russians initially named the railway 'Manchurian Railway', but Li Hongzhang opposed it. Li Hongzhang insisted that the railway must be named the 'Great Qing Eastern Provincial Railway', and if it was called the 'Manchuria Railway', the right to acres of land granted to them should be revoked. Therefore, it was officially named 'Daqing East Province Railway', also known as 'China East Province Railway', referred to as 'East Qing Railway'.

Later, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, the Qing government was overthrown, and China entered the Republic of China period, and the 'Eastern Qing Railway' was also renamed 'China Eastern Railway', referred to as 'Eastern Railway'...

After the outbreak of the European war, it is true that a lot of materials were transported to Russia through Vladivostok, but a considerable part of the materials were landed in Dalian, especially after the connection between the Middle East Railway and other railways in China, a large number of materials were transported to Russia from China through GuΓ² trains...

If this were not the case, the Russians would not have paid for the expansion of the Eastern Railway.

And the railway station they guard is an extremely important point of the Eastern Railway. Because he is located right here on the border between China and Russia. In other words, all the supplies that lead to Vladivostok will pass through him. Naturally, the same is true of the supplies of Vladivostok to Siberia and the western side of the Ural Mountains.

With such a railway, he has reaped a lot of benefits in the past...

It doesn't need to be special, it's just that every time the train passes, he randomly gets something down from above, considering the frequency and frequency of this railway train, it is enough for him to accumulate a lot of money...

This is also one of the reasons why he feels a little hesitant in his heart. After all, the Russian Communist Party claims to be the proletariat, and he has now become a propertied class. For the soldiers below, maybe the Communists are nothing, but for him......... Who knows what the attitude of those communists will be...

At this moment, the captain has even begun to think about whether to simply go to China to live―――――― because a large amount of materials have been sent to Russia in recent years. A relatively prosperous small city has been established on the border between China and Russia. He has also been there a few times, very impressed, and because he often comes into contact with Chinese relations, there is no problem with some daily language, if there is really no way, it is not a choice for him to move to China.

――――――――――――――――――――

I didn't know that the captain next to him was thinking about going to China, and those soldiers were thinking about their own affairs at this moment.

Just when the soldiers at the train station were lazy, in the distance. Suddenly, there was a unique sound that can only be found in trains.

Hearing this voice, the Russian soldiers on the platform were stunned.

If it is in normal times. This sound is not surprising, given that it was once the busiest stretch of railway in the Far East, with countless cars passing through it every day. But after this railway has been deserted for half a month, a train suddenly appeared, which is somewhat for these Russian soldiers...

It is especially important to note that in the past, whenever a train passed from here, they would be notified, but this time there was no notice.

However, at this time, the Russian soldiers on the platform did not suspect anything, and the captain who led the team was just lazy.

"Well, brethren, get up, for at last a train has passed us..."

Greeted by the captain, the other Russian soldiers quickly stood up lazily, these soldiers didn't even have a weapon in their hands, obviously, no one ever thought that someone would attack here, after all, China is an ally with them today―――――― but they don't seem to have thought that as a capitalist country, China can be an ally with the Tsarist government, and can be an ally with the later Provisional Government, but now it is the Soviet Russian government that represents Russia...

As a capitalist country, China and Soviet Russia can be said to be completely opposed...

――――――――――――――――――――

As the captain greeted, the soldiers gradually stood on the platform, and soon a train appeared in their sight. It seems that the train is coming from the direction of China, which seems to be a bit unusual, because usually the train from the Vladivostok direction enters China from here and then enters Siberia, and the reverse is rare, most of them are only when the Chinese side supplies Vladivostok with something...

However, these people didn't pay much attention, and even a few slightly more clever soldiers felt that something was wrong, but after looking at the appearance of their companions, they didn't seem to be able to say anything.

This time, coming from the direction of China, it was a freight train, and behind the new front of the locomotive were black freight cars.

Looking at this train, the captain's heart pondered carefully, not knowing what was in it this time, let alone knowing if he could get any benefits from it―――――― it hadn't opened for half a month, and he still hoped to take this opportunity to make up for his losses...

As the train got closer and closer to the platform, gradually, the train began to slow down, and when it entered the platform, like any other train, the train stopped completely...

Looking at the stopped train, the soldier beckoned to his subordinates behind him, motioning for them to follow. Just when he wanted to go up and ask the driver who got off the train, by the way, what exactly was inside. The doors of the freight car behind the front of the car were suddenly opened, and then Chinese troops with weapons in their hands and gray training uniforms jumped out of it...

At breakneck speed. Almost in the blink of an eye, the platform was already crowded with Wehrmacht officers and soldiers, and the guns were pointed at the Russian troops on the platform.

Seeing this scene, the Russians, who were originally stunned, suddenly raised their hands smartly. Although there were people in the railway station who wanted to report the situation to Vladivostok, before they could send a telegram, more than a dozen soldiers had already rushed into the communication room. pressed the correspondent inside against the wall ...

Before the operation, the departing troops had already learned the layout of the train station in detail, and they also knew exactly where the departments such as the communications room were located. This is why the railway station was cut off from communication with the outside world before the telegram was sent―――――― of course, this is also related to the fact that the railway station has been abandoned for too long, although the correspondent has been staying in the house. But in the face of sudden changes, he was not mentally prepared at all. By the time he reacted, ran to the telegraph to turn on and contact Vladivostok, the Wehrmacht had already broken in...

And in the face of the muzzle aimed at themselves, especially a few 'Type 15 pump-action shotguns' that have already established a reputation on the European battlefield, these people seem to have nothing to do but hold their heads in their hands...

By the end of the operation, the station had completely fallen into the hands of the Wehrmacht, and the original Russians in the station had been locked in a room by the officer in charge of the operation. Outside the door, there is a squad of soldiers in charge of the handles.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Very good...", looking at the train station that had been completely charged, a colonel headed by the head of the regiment. Then he said to his subordinates. "Contact the division commander immediately, and say that we have taken the train station by Shun Lì, and they can act, and let the train go away, so as not to get in the way..."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, an officer standing by immediately went to carry out the order, and soon the telegram that had been turned on in the communication room was sent to the rear.

After receiving the telegram, the First Legion, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately set into action.

A large number of Wehrmacht officers and soldiers took the GuΓ² train and began to move in the direction of Vladivostok, and there may have been a few small towns along the way, but they were all charged.

After half a day had passed, and tens of thousands of people had already approached Vladivostok by train for less than 10 kilometers, tens of thousands of Wehrmacht officers and men, who had been waiting for a long time, began to move on the Sino-Russian border.

In the territory of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, villages and towns were occupied.

Unlike when the railway station was captured, news quickly spread to Vladivostok and even St. Petersburg. It's just that the Russian rulers in Vladivostok were annoyed at the same time, but they had to be horrified to find that at least one army of Wehrmacht had approached Vladivostok...

The most important thing for them now is how to deal with this Wehrmacht, not the Chinese troops who are encroaching on 'Russian territory' on the Sino-Russian border...

After learning this news, the Russians were naturally very annoyed, including Lenin and others who were struggling with how to stop the war with the Germans in St. Petersburg.

Almost as soon as they got the news, Lenin and others had already sent people to find Luo Wenying and others, and at the moment Soviet Russia and China did not have any diplomatic contacts, so if Soviet Russia wanted to contact the Nationalist and Social Government about something, it would only have such a line as GuΓ² Luo Wenying.

Moreover, Lenin and others also very much wanted to know why the 'Chinese friends' suddenly sent troops to Xing'anling after the establishment of Soviet Russia...

It was only when Lenin's men arrived at the stronghold of Luo Wenying and others in St. Petersburg that they found that it had long been empty, and all that was left was an empty house.

At the same time, Lenin and others had to face the dilemma of 'aggression' in the Far East, although at this time the Russian power in the Far East was very weak, and cities such as Vladivostok were not under the control of Soviet Russia, but for these Russians, it was already Russian territory.

As for Lenin's promise to abolish a series of unequal treaties signed between Tsarist Russia and China in the past, and return all the plundered territories―――――― perhaps Lenin himself really attached great importance to this, but the Russians have always had strong ambitions for land, and most importantly, although Lenin has a very high position within the Russian Communist Party, he cannot completely control the Russian Communist Party...

Within the Russian Communist Party, in addition to him, there are many people who can compete with him.

Even if he agrees to return the territory to China, there is no way to do it as long as those people do not agree. Although after the news reached St. Petersburg, many Russians demanded revenge, but Lenin and others understood that even if they chose to retaliate at the moment, they could only talk about it, because they could not control Siberia and they had nothing to do with China.

Not to mention the fact that there is no truce on the Eastern Front, and they themselves are in a very dangerous situation ...

Almost at the same time that the news reached St. Petersburg, Britain and the United States and other countries also got the news. After receiving this news, Britain and the United States and other countries were shocked. Although they were disgusted with the current Soviet government, before the European war was over, they still planned to use these Bolsheviks to let them continue to perform the duties of the previous two governments and continue to contain the Germans...

And Yan Shao's actions undoubtedly undermined their intentions... (To be continued......)
