Chapter 543: Killing Everywhere
Sophia's enthronement ceremony was held in the original Burleigh Cathedral, this small court of course could not be compared with the grandeur and grandeur of the previous tsars, but countries also sent representatives to congratulate the queen on the throne, Sophia declared to be Catherine III, the first emperor of the Far Eastern Empire.
In fact, many people are not optimistic about this queen, thinking that she is destined to be just a puppet, but the queen's speech on the throne surprised everyone, and she announced a set of new policies that hit the nail on the head.
"The first task of the empire is threefold: first, to restore peace and to reach an agreement with Moscow, so that the Russians cannot kill each other; The second is to eradicate hunger, the imperial government will implement a comprehensive cash-for-work jihua, provide food and fuel for everyone, and at the same time drastically cut various taxes so that everyone can live; The third is to eliminate chaos, unify the military and political affairs in the Far East, eliminate separatism, and allow the country to recuperate and recover as soon as possible. ”
The new plan laid out by the Queen caters to the wishes of the Russians, to restore peace, end the chaos, and then live again. After hearing about this new policy, the representatives of various countries were also secretly surprised, this little girl has some ability, if she can really implement her Jihua, maybe the bad situation in Russia can be reversed, everyone can't help but have some expectations.
It's just that they haven't seen what is behind this so-called New Deal, tax cuts and cash-for-work can definitely help the Russians tide over the difficulties, but in order to do both, there must be a lot of money first. And the Far East has been frequently looted by wars, and more than half of the population has been lost, and there is not enough money to maintain the operation of the army and the government, so how can you come up with excess funds!
The Russians have no money, but Zhang Tinglan has money, especially after getting more than 400 tons of gold from Russia. Fengtian Bank already has ample gold reserves and is preparing to throw off its arms and print money! Of course, printing money is not a trivial matter, it is not possible to have gold, at least there must be an investment flow, otherwise the funds will remain in the three eastern provinces, which will only cause serious inflation, so simply flow part of the funds to the Far East.
Zhang Tinglan and Sophia reached an agreement for Feng Jun to provide a loan of 100 million yuan to support tax cuts and cash-for-work jihua. And as a repayment. Sophia sold the Far Eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Bong army, including the right to use the port of Vladivostok. In addition, the Russian mechanics were also packaged and sold to Fengjun, and they were allowed to work for Fengjun for ten years.
Although Fengjun has the grace to save the lives of the people of Belarus, they are Russians after all, and it is difficult for them to work for Fengjun with peace of mind. Zhang Tinglan could only let Sophia come forward to appease their hearts. Sell them to the Feng army for ten years. And promised that as long as he worked in peace for ten years, he could return to Russia.
Of course, this is only a temporary measure, and in ten years' time, who can say what the situation in the Far East will be. After the agreement was reached, Fengjun became the owner of the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the largest cash-for-work project was the railway. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan is actually using the money to hire Russian people to build his own railway, but it is just under the banner of Sophia outside.
Outsiders don't know the details. They all applauded Sophia, thinking that the queen was a capable heroine, the enthronement ceremony ended quickly, Zhang Tinglan returned to the barracks, and just sat down, the second brother Zhang Tingshu came over.
"Big brother, you tell me the truth, do you have a crush on that Russian princess?"
"Second brother, that's a Xibei goods, you don't know, how can you fall in love with her."
Zhang Tingshu shook his head: "Big brother, why make it clear whether it's true or false, that girl is really good, and the identity of the princess has been admitted." And don't let me know that her new policy should come from the eldest brother's handwriting, aren't you hurting your daughter-in-law and helping her stabilize the throne? ”
"Stabilize the big head!" Zhang Tinglan grabbed a folder and smashed it on Zhang Tingshu's head.
"Second brother, you don't see through my intentions except for being able to move your mind, it's really disappointing!"
Zhang Tingshu scratched his head and said a little incomprehensibly: "Big brother, I also wonder how you have never been so good to the Russians, how did you get the policy of the Northeast to the Far East, this thing is really abnormal, so the only reasonable explanation is that you like that Catherine III!" ”
"Humph!" Zhang Tinglan snorted in his nose and said with a sneer: "Do you know how the Japanese failed in the Far East, it is because they only know how to use their fists, and when they encounter things, they rely on force to solve them." As a result, the guerrillas killed batch after batch, and the number of them became more and more numerous, and there was no way to eliminate them. If we want to gain a foothold in the Far East, we must learn a lesson, have a more flexible way to solve the problem of the guerrillas. ”
Zhang Tingshu was still confused: "Is there any inevitable connection between providing loans to the Russians and exterminating the guerrillas, why can't I understand it?" ”
"The Russians Weishenme joined the guerrillas, except for a few real majorityists, and the others joined the guerrillas because they could not survive, and they wanted to fight for a life. Now that there is a way to provide cash-for-work, they can survive, and there are fewer people who join the guerrillas. We took advantage of this opportunity to buy more spies and get rid of the real majority party backbone in the Far East, without which the Russians would not be able to make trouble! ”
Zhang Tingshu finally came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Brother, in fact, you still have more ruthless tricks to hide, if after solving the majority of the party, those Russian workers who participated in the cash-for-work are in our hands, and if we want them to die, they will definitely not survive!" ”
Zhang Tinglan smiled and nodded, he was indeed a serial killer move, the purpose of which was to solve the potential danger in the Far East once and for all. After Zhang Tingshu figured out the whole jihua, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Brother, your method is too clever, when hunters want to hunt animals, they always have to throw out a little bait, and this 100 million yuan is a poisoned bait!"
Zhang Tinglan is also quite satisfied with his own Jihua, the Japanese tossed about one billion yuan of military spending in the Far East, Zuihou still retreated in disgrace, and nothing was gained, this is the end of only knowing the use of brute force.
Don't look at the 100 million yuan now, in fact, there will not be much loss, and there is even a profit, after all, the Trans-Siberian Railway will also be used by the army. It will also take a lot of effort to trim it, but it is better to use the Russians to do it!
"Second brother, there is a good task right now, are you interested?"
Zhang Tingshu had already been interested, and said with a smile: "Big brother, if there is anything, hand it over to the younger brother, as long as it is to toss the Russians, I promise to complete the task!" ”
……
Two states appeared in the tiny Far East at once, one was the Moscow-backed Far Eastern Republics, with Chita as the center of its main control. Including the Baikal region. The other was the Far Eastern Empire, which was supported by the Great Powers and China, and the pattern of the Far East suddenly became delicate.
Originally, the Russians thought that the creation of a buffer zone would reduce the risk of direct confrontation and thus force the foreign powers to withdraw their troops. How do you know that China is behind the scenes, so that their wishful thinking will fail. At the same time, new troubles have been added. Moscow also had to send troops to the Far East, accumulate liliang and prepare for war.
At present, it is still a cold winter, and it is very difficult to start a direct war, and the battle line can only be temporarily stabilized. This was the time when Sophia had the opportunity to implement the new policy, and most of the tax was cut in half. As long as you are willing to work, you can get a food subsidy. After more than two years of war, the Russians finally have a little hope again, and the new queen may not be bad, and finally someone has begun to accept the new policy.
Along the Trans-Siberian Railway. Finally there was a large number of laborers, and the White Russian soldiers were in charge of guarding, and at the end of each day's work, they were given bread and a little money. At first, the Russians did not expect such a good thing, but after half a month, they finally began to believe that there were more and more workers on the railway line.
In a small town along the railway line, several Russians sat together, and one of them, a young man with only one eye left, said: "I absolutely do not believe that the Tsar's daughter will become kind, this is definitely a conspiracy, they want to deceive the people from us, and they must not let their plot succeed!" ”
"Comrade Ivan, I agree with you, and I propose that men be sent to blend in with these workers, to find out what the lackeys of imperialism want to do, to find an opportunity to attack the railway lines, in short, not to let them go on comfortably."
While he was talking, suddenly a young woman walked in and said in a panic: "Comrade Ivan, I have just received information that two peripheral members of the partisan detachment have secretly run away to work as workers on the railway. ”
"Bastards, they still have discipline in their eyes, chase them back immediately." The leader, Ivan, spun around the ground twice, then said: "No, we must strengthen discipline and make all the team members vigilant and not be taken advantage of by the imperialists." ”
While they were talking, suddenly there was a cacophony outside, and several team members all ran to the conference room.
"Comrade Ivan, something is wrong, another unit is rushing here."
An angry flame appeared in Ivan's single eye, and he hurriedly said: "This place has been exposed, retreat immediately!" ”
A total of more than 20 guerrillas left the small courtyard and hurriedly ran out, when suddenly a dense burst of gunfire was heard in front of them, and three people were killed on the spot. Gunshots were also heard from the other sides, and Ivan could only flee back to the original small courtyard with his subordinates.
Just when they didn't know where to go, two mortar shells fell right in, the main building was blown up, five or six Russians fell in pools of blood, and two who were not dead were howling in pain. Ivan and the other leaders are all helpless, and they will soon turn into corpses, and they will no longer be able to sympathize with others.
Soon a few more shells smashed in, and then another soldier rushed in, and most of the two dozen partisan backbones were dead, only the one-eyed Ivan had not yet breathed, and his eyes were full of poison, staring at the soldiers who rushed in.
These people are all yellow-skinned and black-eyed, and they are not Russians at first glance, and a young man walked in with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and it was Zhang Tingshu who came.
"Chop off this guy's head and give it to Queen Bixia as a congratulatory gift!"
The soldiers rushed over and cut off Ivan's head directly, don't look at Ivan's youth, but he is indeed a very famous majority party member, who has participated in many missions to attack the Japanese army, and is a veteran of guerrilla warfare, but he didn't expect to be planted in the hands of Fengjun.
If the guerrillas and the common people are fish and water, then the construction of the railroad is a huge reservoir that sucks the water of the Far East, and the guerrillas are immediately exposed.
In a short period of one month, the Feng army smashed more than 100 guerrilla strongholds and eliminated more than 2,000 core guerrilla members.
In the early days of the purge, the Feng army repeatedly claimed that it would only punish the worst, but with the destruction of the majority party, all the Russians involved in it could not escape. A large-scale clean-up operation was launched, thousands of suspects were arrested, hundreds of people were executed every day, shots, knives, and all kinds of deaths, and the blood of the Russians stained the land of the Far East red at once.
