Chapter 423: Supporting the Puppet
The collapse of the Cossack offensive forces left no longer a formed Cossack garrison near the Ural Mountains. At such a favorable time, the army of the Chinese Empire quickly attacked the hinterland of the western continent of the Cossack Empire.
In addition to 200,000 Japanese soldiers and four armies of Wehrmacht, the Imperial Chinese garrison at Katerinburg also had two fully armored Guards units. Tobul directly sent the heavily armored units of these two armies, divided into two arrows and quickly advanced westward, followed by 200,000 Japanese soldiers and part of the Wehrmacht, who soon took control of Ufa, the transportation hub of the Don River valley, and took full control of the east bank of the Don River, and the situation of the Cossack rebels was precarious.
In this crisis situation, the Cossack Workers' Party led by Ulyanov raised a call to defend the Motherland, and they vigorously promoted nationalism and provoked xenophobia among the domestic population in order to temporarily divert the attention of the class contradictions in the country, while the Cossack Workers' Party began to select men from among the old defective army and the workers and peasants, armed them with the weapons left over from the Cossack Empire, and formed the Workers' Party's own Red Army to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire.
In today's Cossack Empire, the appeal of the Cossack Workers' Party is still very strong, and under the call of Ulyanov, a large number of workers and peasants joined the Red Army, and they took trains to the front line in a steady stream to resist the attack of the Chinese army with rudimentary weapons.
In the face of the Red Army troops who used the tactics of crowds to swarm in, Tobul also took it when he saw it, and the troops of the Chinese Empire built fortifications on the east bank of the Don River and fought a defensive battle to prevent the other side from crossing the river, the Red Army lacked heavy weapons and was unable to cross the river to counterattack, and they had to confront the Chinese army across the river, and at the same time they had to endure the shelling on the opposite bank and the occasional bombardment by aircraft.
The Yaman Empire and the Habsburg Kingdom also wanted to get some cheapness, but they did not have the mentality of taking it when they saw it, and the army kept attacking, and when their attacking troops penetrated 300 kilometers into the territory of the Cossack State, they were attacked by the Red Army, and fierce street battles broke out between the two sides in several cities, and the casualties of both countries were heavy, and they were forced to go on the defensive.
Taking advantage of this respite, Ulyanov convened a national congress, at which the delegates unanimously expressed the desire to revise the name of the country at the same time as the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat. After discussion at the meeting, Ulyanov simply went more thorough and changed the name of the Cossacks to ethnic Russians, and the Cossack Workers' Party to the Russian Socialist Workers' Party. And the name of the Cossack Empire was also changed by him into the Russian Utopian Republic, referred to as Russia.
At this congress, Ulyanov made a report, in which he admitted that the productive forces in Russia were still very low and unsuitable for the immediate realization of utopianism, and that the lower stage of socialism of utopianism would now be implemented in Russia.
Soon after the meeting, the Russian Socialist Workers' Party announced the establishment of a Russian utopian republic, and at the same time announced that Russia would begin a new model of the state in which the people were the masters of the country, and that all enterprises and land in Russia would be owned by the state and all resources would be allocated by the state in order to better carry out state construction.
As soon as such a policy was introduced, it was immediately supported by the broad masses of the people, but it also completely offended all the social elites such as entrepreneurs and landlords, and General Denikin in southern Russia was the first to lead the rebellion, he first announced that he did not recognize the Russian government, and the 100,000 Cossack army began an offensive against the Russian Red Army on the basis of the Odessa region and the Crimean peninsula.
The Russian situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the newly established Russian government is facing a very serious crisis, Fang Xiaoyu, who has long been prepared, naturally will not let go of such an opportunity, he immediately invited the captured Marshal Kolchak to his palace, and privately received Marshal Kolchak in his study.
"Hello Your Majesty, I don't know what you are looking for me." Kolchak walked in in a shabby Cossack marshal's uniform, and as soon as he entered the room, he saluted Fang Xiaoyu, and at the same time asked without humility or arrogance.
This time Marshal Kolchak came over because Fang Xiaoyu wanted to find a spokesperson, as the vanguard of the Chinese Empire's interference in the affairs of the Cossack Empire, this spokesperson must be a Cossack soldier with leadership, military understanding and great appeal, Marshal Kolchak is the most suitable candidate that Fang Xiaoyu can find.
Originally, Fang Xiaoyu had another candidate, that is, Denikin who was fighting on the Crimean Peninsula, but it was too far away from the Chinese Empire, and Denikin was also closer to the Yaman Empire, which was very dangerous for Fang Xiaoyu to control him, once the other party switched to other sides, the strategic situation of the Chinese Empire would be greatly damaged, so compared to Denikin who was fighting, Fang Xiaoyu was more willing to choose Marshal Kolchak, who was safe and reliable, easy to control, at least the main force that interfered in the internal affairs of the Cossack Empire, Donnikin can't be pinned on it.
Of course, Marshal Kolchak is not an easy person, and it is very difficult to control him, but Fang Xiaoyu has the trump card of Alexander III in his hand, and he is still very confident in convincing Kolchak.
Looking at Marshal Kolchak, who had a stiff face, Fang Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, and he pretended to be plain and said, "I came to the marshal this time to inform you about the current situation in your country. A rebellion had just taken place on the territory of the Cossack Empire, and the rebels had taken control of the whole country and changed the Cossack Empire into a Russian utopian republic. ”
Kolchak's face changed: "What? How could there be such a thing. This news was too shocking, and at first glance, Marshal Kolchak, who was steady, was also shocked in his heart.
Seeing that his words had the desired effect, Fang Xiaoyu's heart was overjoyed, and he continued to set up a trap for Kolchak: "In addition to this bad news, I have another good news for you. I'm going to fund you to suppress the rebellion, and I'll assign you captured soldiers to send them, and you don't have to worry about weapons. ”
Kolchak's face turned pale and said: "You plan to make me a puppet and control the future Cossack Empire by controlling me?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said: "I don't intend to control you, nor will I control the Cossack Empire after the restoration of the country in the future, I just want the Cossack government after the restoration of the country to recognize the legal possession of the existing occupied territory of our country." ”
Listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Kolchak said angrily: "How is this possible, if I admit it, you will encroach on four-fifths of our country's territory." ”
Fang Xiaoyu picked up a drawing tablet and played with it in his hand for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and smiled at Marshal Kolchak and said, "No, it's for one-fifth of your country." If I do not nurture you, in a few years the territory of your western continent and the people living on it will forget about the Cossack Empire, and then you will have no chance at all. ”
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Kolchak knew very well in his heart that Fang Xiaoyu's words were not exaggerated at all, and if he did not have the support of the Chinese Empire, there would be no possibility of recovering the country. After thinking for a while, Kolchak raised his head and said, "Where is our majesty?" Without His Majesty's appeal, even if I were able to have an army to counterattack, I am afraid that I would soon fail. ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about this, His Majesty Alexander III has been rescued by me, they will arrive in our country within a few months, and then you will have the appeal, now what you have to do is to train the army, and when His Majesty Alexander III arrives, you can send troops to quell the rebellion." ”
Kolchak looked at Fang Xiaoyu and let out a long sigh and said, "I have to say that you are the most terrifying king I have ever seen, but I want to know why you are helping us." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Utopianism is very dangerous, and I don't want these things to appear in my country, so they must be eliminated." ”
Kolchak nodded, he had been known to the Cossack Workers' Party for a long time, and he knew the terrible nature of its thoughts, and when he heard Fang Xiaoyu say this, he said in a firm tone: "They will definitely be wiped out, I promise." Then he bowed again and withdrew.
With Fang Xiaoyu's approval, Marshal Kolchak went to the Ufa region to receive the 100,000 Cossack soldiers who had just been captured by Tobul, these people were the most relied on guards of Alexander III, and their loyalty was still very secure, and they would be trained by instructors sent by the Chinese Empire near Katerinburg, and wait for the opportunity to attack.
The fall of the Cossack Empire gave Fang Xiaoyu a sense of urgency, in the face of the gradual decline of the Entente bloc, Boston would soon enter the war, the world war was nearing the end, this was the last opportunity to reap the benefits, so he immediately ordered a million newly reequipped Wehrmacht troops to be sent to the Southern Subcontinent with a million reserve troops to launch a powerful offensive to seek benefits for the Chinese Empire as much as possible.
Su Zhizhen's troops on hand suddenly became richer, the army suddenly increased from 400,000 to 2.4 million, plus the servant army expanded to 1 million, and the air force also changed from six wings to 20 wings, and with enough troops, Su Zhizhen was ready to do a big job.
First of all, after Wu Qiong negotiated with the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, the Grand Duchy of Sardinia agreed to lease several major airports in the south to the Chinese Empire, and Su Zhizhen immediately transferred three air force wings over, with this base, the Chinese Air Force can not only control most of the Mediterranean waters, but also easily attack the land lines of communication of the Entente, resulting in a significant reduction in the supply of the Allied countries on the front line, and a sharp decline in the number of aircraft and ammunition reserves.
Seizing the opportunity of the other side's supply shortage, Su Zhizhen concentrated his forces to launch an attack on the Allied forces in the El Alamein area, and under the cover of aircraft bombing and large-caliber artillery, the Japanese soldiers took the lead, and they launched a tidal wave of attacks on the positions of the Allied troops with bayonets on their Type 91 rifles.
