Chapter 34 Project Subcontracting
The British really had no intention of letting Japan intervene in this military action against Russia, and the British Empire was now very worried about the rising national sentiment in Japan, just like Yang Xiaolin said, if Japan was allowed to intervene, it would inevitably increase Japan's international prestige and encourage the Japanese people to be a great power plot.
This is what the British do not want to see, and they know that restricting Japan will give the Japanese a sense of frustration that they have been ignored by the international community, and will make the Japanese even more alienated from the British. However, the British were not afraid, because Japan's current strength could only challenge the British Empire's power in Asia, and they did not have the courage to do anything out of the ordinary, and Japan did not even dare to speak out on the matter of the four-nation joint exercise between China, France, Britain, and the United States in the South Seas.
And if Japan wants to vent its grievances, the most likely thing to do is to take the necessary measures in the Far East. If Japan does this, it will inevitably have a dispute with China, and even if the goal of the British Empire is achieved, there are many birds with one stone, and China, Japan, and Russia will all be mixed up by him, and this is the calculation of the British.
Yang Dagui this guy was not fooled, and the British certainly would not force China to do anything. Digging a pit and not coming down is that people are smart, you have to push China into the pit with your hands, the first is uncivilized, and the second game is not played like this.
On the issue of Russia, as long as China is willing to send troops, as for the peacekeeping mentioned by Yang Xiaolin, it is indeed a good idea. Immediately after the talks, the gentlemen sent a request to the country, which was quickly adopted, and then the British Empire was to take the lead.
The British immediately expressed their attitude, saying that in order to safeguard the basic right of Russian citizens to live and to ensure that the turbulent situation in Russia would not affect neighboring countries, the international community would form a joint force to enter Russia.
At the same time, they made it clear that the purpose of this military operation was not to intervene in the Russian people's choice of the fate of their country, and that the international community respected the right of the Russians to choose the future path of their country. Along with the arrival of the first batch of troops into Russia, there are also large quantities of essential supplies for daily life, and the task of the peacekeeping forces is to use these supplies to rescue Russian citizens whose homes have been destroyed by the war, and to ask for the cooperation of all relevant Russian parties.
Of course. At the end of the announcement, the British side also stressed that if the peacekeepers were attacked by armed forces, they would not hesitate to return fire.
There were 12 countries participating in the initial peacekeeping, and the main forces of the two camps, the Central Powers and the Entente, basically stood up this time, and the day after the British issued the announcement, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and other countries also announced their support for this peacekeeping operation.
Their support was mostly nominal, and no one expected them to send troops into battle. Just make a flag of their country for the Chinese to carry. Also, some money is paid out, which can be regarded as military spending.
China is the main country responsible for peacekeeping missions, and the two sides are currently negotiating how Japan will cooperate with China.
Nicholas II, who was the first to respond to the tripartite conflict in Russia, expressed his gratitude to the international community for this humanitarian relief and accepted the help of the international community on behalf of all Russian citizens. Nicholas II also did not consider whether he was now qualified to represent all Russian citizens.
This kind of peacekeeping is indeed of great help to him, and you must know that he now has troops and weapons in his hands. It's just that there are not enough war supplies. At the beginning of the turmoil in Russia, the Turks blocked the Dardanelles Strait, which prevented the British and French supplies for Nicholas II from reaching Nicholas.
Now the Turks have also joined the ranks of peacekeepers. Then they would have no reason to prevent the British and French from giving Nikolai a blood transfusion, and if the Chinese troops really entered Russian territory immediately, as Yang Xiaolin had said, they would not have to fight, as long as they could contain Trotsky's rear. Nicholas II felt like he could turn over.
Then there was the Belarusian Kerensky, who was also in favor of this so-called rescue in the international community, as long as Comrade Trotsky had not yet taken a position. But it didn't matter if he said it or not, Trotsky knew it very well. The so-called peacekeeping is to kill themselves, and even if they approve of it, those evil capitalists will not show mercy.
In a speech at home, Trotsky expressed his strong disdain for the encirclement of the great proletariat by the capitalist forces, and demanded that all the proletarians crush the enemy's conspiracy with courageous combat, and that his soldiers drive the invaders out of Russia with fearlessness! At the same time, he also called on the proletariat of the whole world to once again give selfless support to the Russian workers' power, and he shouted a slogan that made Britain, France, Germany and Austria very frightened, that is, the ultimate goal of the Russian revolution is not to liberate the working people of Russia, but to overthrow the exploiting classes of the whole world and establish a new world order in which the proletariat is the master of the country!
Comrade Trotsky's speech was very passionate, not only the Russians who listened to his speech were emotional, but also the serfs who had just turned over with the mentality of fighting to the death, and even Britain, France, Germany and other countries had a large number of people spontaneously forming volunteers to go to Russia to fight side by side with the Russian proletarian pioneers.
All these reactions were expected by Yang Xiaolin, and no one in this world knew better than him how terrible the effect of the organizationally inspiring approach was. There is no party in the world like the early Communist Party, the party members do not want salaries, they can give up their lives for the sake of faith, and if they are shot in the head by the enemy, they have to take out the last party fee from their pockets! What kind of battle do you fight with such a person?
Moreover, the ties between Comrade Trotsky and Yang Xiaolin have never been severed at all, and China's military objectives this time are to put it bluntly two: the first is to use the money of the evil capitalists in Comrade Trotsky's mouth to stimulate China's domestic economic development.
Peacekeeping is also a mode of war, especially in the current situation where things happen very suddenly, and this model is still very beneficial to China. First of all, the materials for humanitarian aid to the Russians, which will greatly stimulate the development of China's non-staple food processing enterprises and bring a large number of orders to China's service enterprises.
Non-staple food processing is now just starting in China, this industry is very important, first of all, it is a platform for the value of various agricultural products, in peacetime your non-staple food processing industry is mature, rice can be sold for a few more money. In wartime, the non-staple food processing industry is the logistical support of the war, especially if the construction of Yang Xiaolin's modern troops is completed. The troops march more than 100 kilometers a day, how can the soldiers carry their provisions?
If at that time, it was necessary for Chinese soldiers to go out on the battlefield with a few pieces of bread on their backs, as they are now, there would be no talk of modernization.
There is also a second purpose, that is, Yang Xiaolin wants to take the train of this peacekeeping and build a truly modern rapid reaction force. The car factory in Shanxi has already been put into production, and so far the three car factories have produced more than 800 trucks and more than 1,000 three-wheeled motorcycles.
The sales of these things are not very good, because China's transportation industry is not very developed, and those merchants do not seem to be used to using cars to transport their goods. There were herds of horses walking on the road that had been repaired, and this situation really made Yang Xiaolin a little unbearable.
If you can send 100,000 tons of materials to Russia within two months, I believe that this mode of transportation will be accepted by Chinese merchants. In the same way, if 100,000 tons of supplies can be sent to Russia within two months, China will have the ability to send 100,000 soldiers into Russia in the same time!
China is the closest land country in Asia to Russia, and China will have to bear the transportation of this battlefield in the future, but the transportation cost will be shared equally among all the countries participating in the peacekeeping campaign. As for the war, Yang Xiaolin's purpose for calling the Japanese over together. It is the one who pulls the strong ding.
This is called subcontracting, and China has contracted this project from the international community, and then transferred it to you Japanese to do it. If not done well. The person responsible is the United Kingdom, the construction party is Japan, and China can also clean it up.
Little Japan is positive. The rising great-power sentiment in their country made the nation eager to make their voice heard in international affairs, and the exclusion of Britain on the Russian question made Japan very unhappy.
In particular, those Japanese soldiers are not willing to be lonely at all. This time, in Indonesia, Naogami Matsubara swept through a majestic landscape with the First Army, and the blood of the entire Indonesia was spilled, which seemed to make the Imperial Japanese Army find their self-confidence again.
But it's really a bit embarrassing to show off the record of killing those Indonesians. So they hope that they can have a better stage. The turmoil in Russia broke out at the right time, and many officers in the Japanese army thought that this was their best opportunity, but Japan's top decision-makers did not dare to express their position lightly.
The attitude of the Chinese must be taken into account, as must the attitude of the British. This was considered stable at the top, but it made the middle and lower-level army officers and soldiers in Japan extremely dissatisfied with the government's approach.
As soon as China sent a signal inviting Japan, the Japanese side immediately responded, saying that Prime Minister Japan was willing to do its part for the international community, and ordered Minister Shotaro Abe in Beijing to immediately discuss with the Chinese side a specific plan for forming a peacekeeping force, and said that the Japanese military would uphold their usual humanitarian spirit in this operation and take humanitarian relief as its main purpose.
Yang Xiaolin doesn't care how much humanity the Japanese have, the two sides have made it very clear, unified under one banner, but you Japan marched from the Far East, and we China marched from Mongolia. We can cooperate strategically, but each side fights its own war, and we do not interfere with each other.
The Japanese side generally agreed to this plan, and they raised the question of whose territory in the Far East was to be defeated. Yang Xiaolin gave Japan a rather vague answer, that is, China has no intention of fighting for territory at present, and hopes that Japan will not do the same. As for the land that was disputed with the Russians in the past, the Chinese side took the recovery of its own land as its ultimate goal, but it was not part of China's land before, and we will discuss it later.
This renegotiation made Japan smell a clear smell of blood. Since it can be discussed, that is to say, as long as it actually occupies that area, it is only a big deal to make some concessions and compensation to China in the future.
The Japanese military was immediately overjoyed, knowing that although the territory around Vladivostok was barren, after all, it was very close to Japan, and he and Indonesia, which was thousands of miles away from Japan, were fundamentally two different concepts, and Japan had the ability to turn this batch into real Japanese territory.
In addition, little Japan really wants to show its hands in the international community now, and when it pats its chest, the first batch of troops to send troops is more than 100,000 people from five divisions and regiments, and the posture is obviously to tell the whole world that you are optimistic about how we Japanese solve the Russian problem!
