Chapter 640: Intervention in the War against the Soviet Union (17)
Since Kolchak withdrew so face-saving, Cai Ye and they naturally would not pursue, after all, Yan Shao had already issued an order not to do anything to these people, so in the end, Cai Ye and they directly watched Kolchak and them leave, which can be called a gift to leave the country.
If you don't think it's a little strange, I'm afraid Cai Ye and the others are going to send some medicine to Kolchak and them to use as travel expenses or something...
Is it the other side...
Yan Shao, who learned of this result, was also quite satisfied, after all, the next step was to carry out the second step, that is, to occupy the whole of Siberia.
This part is very simple, in fact, after the first step is completed, the second step is basically to close the door and fight the dog, that is, after cutting off the connection between Europe and Siberia, slowly solve the Russian power in Siberia.
And after losing the outside, especially the outside help, it will be very simple to deal with these peopleββββββ provided that there are enough troops, after all, Siberia is full of forests, if they are allowed to hide in the woods, even the elite such as the Wehrmacht may not be able to do it.
What is particularly important is that if Kolchak has been making trouble in the back, I am afraid that Cai Ye and they will not be able to draw troops into Siberia and attack Feng Guozhang or something...
So Kolchak's departure is indeed a good thing.
And...
Yan Shao knew that although the current situation in Soviet Russia was indeed very troublesome, it would definitely be Soviet Russia that won the victory in the end. And the only thing that may affect China's westward expansion strategy is Soviet Russia...
Therefore, Yan Shao not only needed to weaken the power of Soviet Russia as much as possible. Moreover, it is also necessary to delay the intervention of Soviet Russia, and at this time Kolchak can play a very good role in delaying the role of Soviet Russia in unifying Russia.
And while Soviet Russia was busy playing with the coalition forces, Kolchak, Denikin and the Germans. Yan Shao and the others were able to slowly consolidate their rule in Siberia and Central Asia, pulling out all the red elements in these two regionsββββββ in fact the secret service had already begun to do so with the cooperation of the garrison.
With the list information obtained by Luo Wenying and them earlier, the Third Army Corps, which entered the Central Asian region, has begun to be responsible for capturing the local Red elements. Although this list is not exhaustive, it has almost wiped out the entire Red elements in Central Asia.
Let alone...
Under severe torture, I'm afraid that not many red elements can stand up...
As long as they open their mouths, they will definitely be able to provide a lot of clues to the secret service...
Sometimes you don't even need a clue. All you need is a name...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Naturally, there is one thing to worry about when they get Kolchak back, that is, what if Kolchak and they destroy Soviet Russia. If that's the case, it's going to be a problem.
That's right, whether it is Russia or Soviet Russia, after they are stable, they will definitely ask Yan Shao to return Siberia and Central Asia. But here's the problem. Russia will have help from other countries behind it. As for Soviet Russia, it can only rely on itself.
Moreover, the reason why Yan Shao chose Soviet Russia was because communism was the public enemy of almost all countries in this world. With this, Yan Shao could slowly consolidate his rule in Siberia while attracting everyone's hatred in Soviet Russia...
But in the case of Russia, it seems unlikely.
After all, in this era, Russia was not as hated as Soviet Russia ...
However, Yan Shao also has a solution, that is, if Soviet Russia really can't hold on. Then he provided some support to Soviet Russia behind his back. The way of support is simple, let's say arms. For example, in some other ββββββ it is certainly impossible to send troops directly, although the yellow race is not uncommon in Russia (the original people of Kazakhstan), but a large yellow army is still easy to arouse suspicion, not to mention that if someone captures it, it will be troublesome.
Collusion with communism can cause public outrage in this era.
But munitions, it seems, is much simpler ...
Even, Yan Shao can completely let the arsenal produce some Russian equipment, and the quality will definitely not be inferior to the Russians themselves, and he can even choose one or two failed models from the submachine guns or shotguns designed at the beginning, or light and heavy machine guns, and specially provide arms to Soviet Russia.
In fact, the strength of Soviet Russia is still very good, and Soviet Russia at this time is also an era full of capable people, plus the following series of famous generals, if there is superior firepower, it is still very easy to solve this problem...
As I said earlier, if something really goes wrong, it's a big deal to support arms on a large scale. Anyway, Yekaterinburg is not very far from St. Petersburg, and after Soviet Russia solves Kolchak, it is still very convenient to repair the railway and transport arms there...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After leaving Yekaterinburg, Kolchak soon returned to the Urals with his remaining 150,000 men and began his offensive against Soviet Russia.
Although the Russians had long expected that Kolchak might not be able to recapture Yekaterinburg and would eventually return, it was still a bit unexpected for them to come back so soon.
For a while, the Soviet Russian Red Army was also a little caught off guard, but fortunately, Kolchak's previous losses in Yekaterinburg were not small, and the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Russian Red Army was still relatively good, so the Soviet Russian Red Army quickly gained a firm foothold and launched a counteroffensive against Kolchak's White Army...
As for Yan Shao's side...
Large quantities of arms and other supplies were sent to Yekaterinburg in order to prevent the railway line in the rear from being blown up in the future. As long as there are enough supplies on the front line, even if something goes wrong with the railway line in the rear, at least they can hold out until the logistics reinforcements in the rear are available.
At the same time, the First Army Group under Cai Ye also began to build a defensive line throughout the Ural Mountains, which is very much a bit of a high wall.
At the same time, Feng Guozhang, located in the outer northeast, also began to slowly advance to the hinterland of Siberia.
At last...
As once said, Yan Shao has always been worried about the sabotage of the railroad by the resistance...
But...
It looks like it was pretty prescient to get the Fourth Legion to strike...
Although it is not yet possible to bury mines along thousands of kilometers of railway lines, they have at least had some effect. Of course, part of the railway was damaged, but even so, thanks to the rush of the engineers, the railway was quickly repaired ... (To be continued......)
