Chapter 628: Intervention in the War Against the Soviet Union (5)
With the Czech Legion and the armament support provided by Yan Shao, the more than 200,000 troops of the Kolchak government were mobilized, an action much earlier than history.
Along with Denikin in Ukraine and the Allied forces that landed in northern Russia, as well as other countries that were ready to move, the Russian government was very sinister for a while.
Not long after Operation Kolchak, British War Secretary Winston Churchill announced at the Liberal Party Congress that he would organize a coalition of 14 armies against Moscow. But he did not specify which 14 countries they were, but when Lenin saw the cable, he wrote the names of 14 countries in the space below the cable: Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy, China, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia.
What is somewhat different from history is that the reason why Japan's name was not filled in is because after China seized the Outer Northeast and Vladivostokββββββ Japan had no reason to send troops to the Outer Northeast.
The Americans understood Yan Shao's attitude of regarding the Outer Northeast as a forbidden country, but after being refused, Japan was extremely angry. Of course, this also makes Japan not a country on this list, and China has become one of the fourteen intervening countries because of its military ties to the Northeast...
This is the famous 'Fourteen Nations Intervention War'...
By the way, the historical Beiyang government was established in Soviet Russia. sent troops to recover Outer Mongolia, and thus became one of the intervening imperial states...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
It is not only the capitalist countries that are ready to move, but also the generals in the Great Gobi in Xinjiang. Originally, according to the plan formulated by Yan Shao, Cai Yi and others. As soon as the Allied forces moved, they also sent troops westward from Xinjiang, first along the Central Asian Railway, and then tried every means to seize Yekaterinburg, and then split the whole of Russia in two, as if they were cutting butter with a knife.
However, due to the revision of the plan, Cai and others had to suspend the operation. Quietly waiting.
It's just that more than 700,000 troops are stationed in one place, and even the most barren Xinjiang region is difficult not to attract attention, so there is no other way. Cai Ye and others could only bring the troops to the vast Gobi Desert...
At the same time, as returning heroes, Cai Ye and Wu Peifu also had to take some time to come back and spend some time in Shanghai or Beijing to stay ββββββ as heroes of the European War. If you don't show up for a long time. It's easy to attract the attention of public opinion, and if that happens, it will be troublesome.
In fact, when Cai Ye and others were located in Xinjiang, due to the long period of non-appearance, there were already some rumors in public opinion, of course, most of them were related to the 'high merit and earthquake master'...
However, I am afraid that I will not believe this kind of words, whether it is said or heard, after all, Cai Yi's merits are high. There is also a great distance from Yan Shao...
However, staying on the Gobi Desert is not a good solution. After all, the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang is really barren, and it may be nothing if the time is short, but it is a long time......... Indeed, the effect of hiding on the Gobi Desert is very good, but after a long time, it is boring, and in the face of this boring life, even officers can't stand it, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, during the period when Cai Yi and Wu Peifu returned to Beijing and Tianjin and other places to attract the attention of the outside world, the First Army Group could only be described as eager to fight...
Now that they know that Kolchak has sent troops, Siberia is empty, and they are even more impatient.
In fact, it's not just them, even Cai Yi and Wu Peifu and others. After all, the troops have been staying in Xinjiang, and the time is short, it's nothing, and the time is long......... The sudden disappearance of 500,000 troops without a trace, anyone will suspect it (minus the 200,000 troops who were already stationed in the northwest)...
Almost on the day Kolchak sent out his troops, Cai Yi, Wu Peifu and others had already returned to Xinjiang by train.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The distance between Beijing and Xinjiang is extremely far, not to mention that Cai Ye and Wu Peifu are still thousands of kilometers away in Dihua. When the two returned to Dihua, Kolchak and the Soviet Russian Red Army, which was responsible for encircling and suppressing the 'White Bandit Army', fought fiercely.
At this time, the environment of the Soviet Russian regime was already very bad, with the landing of Allied forces in the north, the Ural region and the whole of Siberia occupied by the Kolchak government in the east, in addition to the rebellious Cossacks in the Don region, Denikin in Ukraine and the Caucasus, etc...
A simple look at the map shows that the Russian regime has lost at least three-quarters of its territory under multiple attacks.
If you count the Confederate troops in the west, well, they're in real trouble...
Fortunately, Russia had already signed a peace agreement with Germany before this, which was also prescient in a way. After all, if even the Germans were involved, then the Soviet Russian government would be attacked on all sides, and this is definitely not something that can be dealt with casually...
Considering the situation, Lenin's decision was very wise.
At present, Soviet Russia only needs to deal with a few other forces, and does not need to pay attention to the threat from the west at allββββββ huh? Forehead...
The above information seems to be a bit outdated, because according to the latest information, Germany has torn up the original treaty with Russia and launched a brazen attack on the Russian regime in St. Petersburg together with the Entente and other forces...
In other words, with simultaneous attacks on all sides, the Russian regime has fallen into an unprecedentedly bad situation...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Located in the headquarters of the First Army Group in Dihua, looking at the generals at all levels who came from various units, Cai Ye said solemnly.
"The time is ripe, and the president orders us to immediately carry out the plan to expand west..."
"Great!" The generals at all levels who had already guessed more or less some. After hearing Cai Yi's words, he suddenly burst into jubilation.
It is not surprising that expanding the territory is the pursuit of the vast majority of soldiers. And swallow the whole of Siberia in one go. And part of Central Asia? If they can do this, they will go down in history...
Coupled with the military exploits and so on, as soldiers, how can they not be excited?
As early as more than a month ago, generals at all levels in the First Army Group had already begun to apply for westward expansion. It's just that because I feel that the time is not ripe, I have been pressed by Yan Shao and Cai Yi.
Seeing that the generals at all levels seemed to be very excited. Cai Ye did not interrupt them, but after the voice in the conference room was slightly reduced, Cai Ye continued.
"Let me start with that. This time our aim is not only to seize Siberia and Central Asia, but also to reduce the pressure on the Soviet Russian regime ...
"What?"
"Did I hear me right?"
The generals who were still excited were all taken aback when they heard Cai Yi's words, after all, communism is the public enemy of the world. It has long been deeply imprinted in their minds. Since the October Revolution. Yan Shao has repeatedly called communism 'China's greatest enemy' and clamored for the complete eradication of this 'public enemy of mankind'.
According to state media reports, in addition to recovering lost territory, another reason for the Wehrmacht's northward movement to the Outer Northeast was that they did not want the Outer Northeast to fall into the hands of the Red elements.
So that no one doubts what Yan Shao said, on the one hand, because the 'Soviet Russian regime' is indeed almost becoming a public enemy of the world, and on the other hand...
Don't forget, Yan Shao is the biggest capitalist in the world. Well, even if not the biggest. There is absolutely no problem in being included in the top three in the world. In other words, Yan Shao and Soviet Russia are absolutely opposites, so almost no one, including the Japanese, believes that Yan Shao will have any connection with Soviet Russia, but they all guessed wrong...
Because Yan Shao not only had ties with Soviet Russia, even if the February and October Revolutions would have been so smooth and successful, it also had a deep relationship with him. And contrary to what many people think, although Yan Shao has repeatedly clamored for the complete eradication of communism, in fact, he is not very resistant to the Communist Party in his heart.
The reason is simpler, don't forget what kind of party was in power in his previous country.
However, it is precisely because of his experience in his previous life that Yan Shao will never allow the Communist Party to enter China, let alone allow such an 'ism' to spread in China.
How to say it, the purpose of communism is absolutely good, but the problem is that communism is absolutely impossible to achieve for at least the next hundred years...
And a communism that has gone the wrong way is definitely the most authoritarian authoritarian regime in the world.
However, such a doctrine is very tempting, and it is easy to deceive people's hearts. If it is really allowed to enter China, just think about the increasing number of workers in the country today, and the number of farmers who are still very large...
Although the lives of the workers and peasants in China are many times stronger than in history, this is an era of primitive capitalism, and the contradictions between the landlords and the factory owners, the peasants and the workers are very deep, and such soil can almost be said to be the most suitable for the development of communism.
And if you want to get communism involved, it's not so easy to solve it...
However, it is impossible to eliminate communism, so Yan Shao had to find a way to learn from the United States in later generationsββββββ in later generations, the left-wing power in Europe has always been very strong, and there are also Red Army and other organizations in Japan and other places, but the United States does not seem to be too large-scale.
Therefore, Yan Shao planned to learn from the United States and impose restrictions on the Communist Party at home.
As for eradicating ...
There is no need at all, anyway, after waiting for sixty or seventy years, those communist regimes will naturally dissolve themselves one by one. Even if some remain, the so-called communist regime will become a one-party state that pursues capitalismββββββ and almost all the communist countries of later generations, and the most powerful capitalist is...
Yan Shao's opposition to communism was also for this reason, and since he knew that this doctrine could not be realized, why should he introduce this doctrine, which would definitely cause chaos, into the country...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan Shao's true attitude towards communism is probably unthinkable to anyone. Even the pillow men like Elanon.
As for the generals below, they were deeply influenced by Yan Shao.
In fact, the generals of the National Defense Forces today are in addition to the generals of the earliest National Social Army, the Beiyang Army and various local warlords. The vast majority of the rest are graduates of military schools. These people have witnessed a series of changes in China in the past few years in the military academy, so they have a deep belief in Yan Shao.
Naturally, he was also deeply influenced by Yan Shao, not to mention...
In a way, they also belong to the vested interests.
The salary of the Wehrmacht is very high, so high that most of the generals can't be a 'moonlight clan', so. What happens to the money that is sent? The answer is simple, investment.
Either invested in the land, or invested in industry. It is very rare to keep money in the bank for interest. If communism really rushed into China, Yan Shao would definitely not be the only one who was unlucky in the end, which was another reason why they supported Yan Shao to solve communism.
But now, Cai Ye actually said that he would support the Soviet Russian regime. This...
Just when the generals below were taken aback. Several senior generals who knew more about the details glanced at each other.
And at this moment, looking at the fierce reaction of these generals at the moment, Cai Ye had to explain after smiling bitterly. After all, in the next westward expansion strategy, Soviet Russia is also a very important part, and the following generals must understand the situation.
"Think about it, if we succeed in swallowing Siberia. Then the territory of our country could be increased by at least two times. Even if Siberia itself is very desolate, you can see it even by looking at the map. How big will our territory become after the annexation of Siberia, and in this case, do you think that Britain and the United States and other countries will not be vigilant? β
"Obviously, after we annex Siberia, Britain and the United States and other countries will definitely demand that our country withdraw from Siberia and return Siberia to the Russians, who may be the current provisional government, or some imperial relatives of the original Tsarist Russia, but we will not be able to retreat at all, which will inevitably lead to contradictions between us and the foreign powers, and they may even create some trouble for us, even if they send troops directly, it must be taken into accountββββββ but I think, After the European war, it is not particularly likely that the Great Powers will send troops directly..."
"Although we are not afraid of the foreign powers, if they really create some obstacles for us, we will also be uncomfortable for a while, so the best way is to set a target for them, and this target is Soviet Russia..."
"As long as there is the target of Soviet Russia, it is impossible for the great powers to abandon Soviet Russia first and turn around against us, so as long as Soviet Russia is there, we are safe, and in turn, our situation will become very troublesome, which is why the president asked us to relieve the siege of Soviet Russia..." If necessary, we even need to provide some support to Soviet Russia..."
"But if we do this, will it be possible that the Soviet Union will remember us?"
"Of course it can't be..."Seeing that a division commander below raised his own question, Cai Yi replied with a smile. We don't need them to remember anything, because we just need Russia to attract the attention of the great powers, and the rest......... If they are going to trouble us, we will not be afraid of them..."
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After Cai Yi's explanation, the generals at all levels below quickly understood the truth.
Only by ensuring the security of Soviet Russia can China digest Siberia with peace of mind, and in turn, China will have to deal with all kinds of troubles that may be brought about by the great powers while digesting it.
Although they are not afraid, it will delay their digestion after all.
As for Soviet Russia, even if they helped, Cai Ye didn't think they would be grateful for their kindness...
Now that it has been decided to take action, the Wehrmacht, which was originally hidden in the vast Gobi, suddenly moved.
The organization of the First Army Group was extremely large, with the First Army Group as the core, under the jurisdiction of five corps, under which three corps were under the jurisdiction of three corps, each of which in turn had jurisdiction over three infantry divisions. The entire army group has a total of 45 infantry divisions, of which five are the main force of the A division, and the rest are either B or C divisions...
The First Army Group, with its 700,000 troops, has almost encompassed one-third of the strength of the Wehrmacht. Although only 600,000 troops will be sent this time, even if it is 600,000, if all these troops are trapped in the enemy's territory, it will be enough to greatly damage China's vitality, so Cai Ye really can't help but act cautiously.
Fortunately, he was not alone in charge of this military operation.
More precisely, there are other organizations that are cooperating with his actions...
Inside a train station called Zaysan, the staff at the station were looking a little bored.
Originally, as the first transit point for China into Russia, it used to be a very prosperous place, and in fact, the establishment of this place had a lot to do with the opening of the Dilan Railway and the Central Asian Railway.
It is precisely because of the opening of these two railways that this transfer station has been created. In the future, it has even evolved into a small town.
But at the moment, it's just an ordinary train station...
It's just that...
Inside the train station, when the staff were boringly talking about the European shape, they didn't know that not far from the train station, there were more than twenty people staring at it with cold eyes.
After a long time, the leader said coldly. "Control the communication room first, and then deal with these guys..."
"Yes!"
Soon after receiving the order, a group of people broke into the communication room.
Faced with the muzzle of the black hole, several transmitters in the communication room chose not to resist very wisely. On the other side, in the case of mental arithmetic or unintentional, another group of people solved a few station members very lightly.
After making sure that there was no resistance in the train station, the man in the lead nodded, and soon someone entered the communication room and sent a report to the rear...
More than two hours later, with the arrival of a series of trains, the Wehrmacht officially launched the westward expansion strategy... (To be continued......)
