Chapter 521: When Fake Becomes True
"The United States is an important party to the intervention forces, if you withdraw, what will happen to the situation in the Far East, what will happen to those White Russian troops, the majority party has developed into the Far East, and it will inevitably threaten the security of the Asia-Pacific region, what should we do?"
The United States is one of the countries that actively advocate interference in Russia, but now it wants to pick its son to withdraw, which is absolutely an irresponsible behavior, and if the situation in the Far East is not good, it will completely collapse and produce results that no one wants to see.
"The U.S. government has its own considerations, and since the red liliang is irresistible, it should seek measures other than military action to solve Russia's problems." Major General Mallen, who came with Becker, said very calmly.
"Have you considered Kolchak's troops, he is fleeing to the Far East, including the army and the people, there are as many as a million, if the American army can stay in the Far East for a while longer, provide them with some cover, these people can smoothly withdraw to the Far East, and even be able to form a new country."
Mullen shook his head, and then said: "The White Russian army has lost its chance to win, and if it continues to support these armies with no future, it will only be a waste of energy, and the government of the United States will definitely not do this." ”
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he thoroughly understood the ruthless pragmatism of the Americans, and some people in later generations said that it is not easy to be an enemy of the United States, but it is even more difficult to be an ally of the United States. The United States has a long history of betraying its allies, and now that we look at it, this tradition also has roots, and the abandonment of Kolchak without hesitation is a very good example.
When they feel useful, they can hold it high, but once they lose their value. will be abandoned mercilessly, without any hesitation, this is the sorrow of the US allies!
"Since the U.S. government is ready to withdraw from the Intervention Army, what does it need to do with the Army?" Zhang Tinglan understood the American style, so he simply asked them directly about their intentions.
Becker said with a smile: "Zhang, we hope that the Feng army can provide some convenience for the withdrawal of US troops, and can borrow the transportation network in the northeast to withdraw US troops to the country." ”
"There's no problem with that, and we're here to help."
Seeing that Zhang Tinglan agreed so happily, Bai Keer was also a little happy. Therefore, he said: "We have noticed that the Feng army has transferred a large number of troops to the Sino-Russian border, and it is very inappropriate for us to do any of this, and China should no longer complicate the situation in Russia." ”
"Complicated?" When Zhang Tinglan heard this, her brows immediately furrowed, what kind of medicine is this American selling in his gourd? First of all, Kolchak was abandoned. They also oppose the increase of the Feng army, are they ready to watch the victory of the Russian majority? That's ridiculous, isn't it?
"Feng's army has increased troops on the Sino-Russian border. It was a legitimate defensive operation, and we could not afford to watch the Russians kill us on our doorstep. With regard to the scourge of the majority party, the Feng army must take a tough attitude to prevent it from spreading to the country and threatening China's security. ”
"Mr. Zhang, I don't think it's necessary to overstimulate Russia. The increase of troops on the Sino-Russian border would strengthen the Russians' ambitions for armed war, but it would also stimulate other parties to increase their troops, threatening the security of the Far East. This is very inappropriate. Ma Lun said to Zhang Tinglan.
Zhang Tinglan is so shrewd, when he heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, the Americans did let Russia go, and the reason was very simple, that is, they were jealous of Japan and did not want the Japanese to swell too much.
After World War I, the United States and Japan had already started a struggle for the Far East, and on the issue of interfering in Russia, Japan had already seized the opportunity. Immediately after the defeat of Kolchak, the Japanese demanded that the United States jointly increase the garrison in the Far East.
The Americans are not stupid, interfering in Russia has become a black hole, and even if they can win, it will only make the Japanese more advantageous. The United States simply decided to withdraw its troops, and at the same time forced Japan to withdraw its troops, just like two beasts competing for the same piece of meat, making trouble to Zuihou, I can't eat it, and you don't want to eat it.
The Americans are going to be-stirring sticks! There is no doubt that if the Feng army increases its strength at this time, it will inevitably provoke Japan, and even create an excuse for Japan to continue to stay in the Far East, so the Americans ran out to persuade Zhang Tinglan.
After thinking about this, Zhang Tinglan smiled coldly: "First of all, the Russian majority is a huge threat, and Russia is on the side of China, and the two sides have a border of tens of thousands of kilometers, this is a matter decided by God, and we have no way to avoid it." A red Russia, the threat to the Feng army is incomparable, and the Feng army must resolutely defend its interests and never take a step back! ”
"You don't understand!" Mullen also put on a lesson and said loudly: "If the situation in the Far East continues, this land will only fall into the hands of Japan, will you be the opponent of the Japanese, this is a war with no chance of winning." My suggestion is to let Kolchak retreat into Manchuria, and use Manchuria as a base for Kolchak's restoration, and the United States will also help him, relying on the arms of White Russia, which can not only counter Russia, but also contain the Japanese, which is the best choice. ”
As Mullen spoke, Zhang Tinglan's face became more and more gloomy, the United States is trying to make a joke about the safety and interests of the Northeast.
If Kolchak retreats to the three eastern provinces with a large number of White Russian troops, who will be the master of the Northeast? Red Russia will inevitably hate the Feng army, and the two sides will become complete enemies, which will lead to conflict and war at any time. This result is only good for the Americans, who can continue to act as behind-the-scenes manipulators, holding both the White Russian and the Feng army in their hands and at their mercy.
Sure enough, none of these powers have a good thing, and the United States, like the teacher Britain, is a master of conspiracy. Zhang Tinglan barely controlled his emotions, and waited until Ma Lun finished speaking, and then said solemnly: "The three eastern provinces are China's sacred territory and will not serve as a base for White Russia. The 200,000 Bong troops are confident in protecting the interests of the country and do not need anyone's help. As for whether or not to interfere with Russia, it will be judged according to China's interests as a battler, and it will not be blindly followed. I hope that the US side will try to put forward some constructive suggestions so that it can be conducive to bilateral cooperation. ”
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Ma Lun was also speechless, he never expected Zhang Tinglan to be so keen, and he saw through the wishful thinking of the Americans at once. and unceremoniously exposed it, making it clear that Fengjun would not be manipulated by the United States' tough attitude, and Malen was suddenly embarrassed.
As soon as Bai Keer saw the situation, he could only stand up and say with a smile: "Zhang, we just put forward our own opinions, whether to accept it or not Of course, on the side of Feng Jun, I don't know if Feng Jun has his own ideas, and it can also be discussed." ”
"Our opinion is simple, the Bong army will continue to implement the strategy of intervention and maintain a strategic buffer zone. We have the strength and confidence to achieve this goal. If the U.S. military insists on returning home, the Feng army can fill this gap! ”
"You guys?" When Ma Lun heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and his face showed contempt. As a Westerner, his impression of China is deeply ingrained. Such a backward land. How can there be a strong army, and how can it contend with the Russian majority, if it is not done, it will only lead to a serious rout.
Zhang Tinglan also saw the distrust of the Americans, and he sneered and said: "We have just defeated the troops of the White Russian Enchen at Kulen, all more than 8,000 people, and almost none of them escaped. Any enemy who vainly attempts to invade China. The Feng army will give the most complete destruction, and there will be no mercy. ”
Strength is the most bargaining chip in negotiations, and Fengjun's record is there, and Mullen and Becker can't help but glance at each other. Looking back at the achievements of the Feng army, it is indeed different from other Chinese troops.
Becker pondered for a moment before asking: "Zhang, are you sure enough that you can resist the Russian majority and at the same time suppress the Japanese ambitions for the Far East?" ”
Zhang Tinglan nodded without hesitation: "The newly reorganized Feng army has more than 200,000 troops, all kinds of weapons and equipment, and sufficient military supplies, even if it relies on the strength of the Feng army alone, it is not a problem to deal with the Russians!" ”
"In that case, I would suggest that the U.S. government consider carefully, and when we withdraw our troops, it will transfer the U.S. camps along the way to the Feng army to provide you with some convenience."
It is clear that the Americans, seeing that the original Jihua was unsuccessful, changed their tactics and let the Feng army play against the Japanese in the Far East, while the Americans stayed out of the situation and continued to play the role of their balancer.
Although he saw through the intentions of the Americans, Zhang Tinglan was quite satisfied with this idea, and if he directly took over the position of the United States, Feng Jun would be able to reduce a lot of trouble and save a lot of time.
"It's not enough to provide camps, I want the United States to provide 100,000 tons of gasoline and diesel to fight in the snow and ice, we need fuel, and our vehicles need plenty of power."
Since the Americans want to use the Feng army, they have to pay some price, otherwise Zhang Tinglan will definitely not be satisfied with the verbal support of Hui but not cost.
Becker and Mullen glanced at each other, this request is not excessive, the United States is the largest oil producer on Shijie at this time, with the most developed petrochemical industry, it is not a problem to provide a batch of gasoline and diesel, they nodded and agreed without hesitation.
While the two sides were negotiating, in the city of Omsk, Kolchak was restless, and successive defeats made him lose at least 100,000 of his most elite soldiers.
"Petrov, you go and load all the gold and treasures on the train and transport them all to the Far East, and everyone else is ready to retreat together."
"Your Excellency, the gold is the property of Tsar Bixia, what to do with it, should I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess? In addition, I think that the safety of Her Royal Highness is more important than gold, and she is the hope of our zuihou, and we should do our best to ensure the safety of the princess. ”
Petrov didn't know that the princess was fake, and he was still extremely loyal to the blood of this tsar, so Kolchak had no choice but to nod and say, "I'll ask the princess, you can arrange it now." ”
Saying that, Kolchak turned around and came to the dormitory at the back, and after sending away all the palace maids, Kolchak walked directly inside, Sophia was sitting in front of the dresser, fiddling with a string of pearl necklaces, and when she saw Kolchak coming, she smiled coldly: "Your Excellency, I am just a tablet, it is rare that you can still come to see me, it is really an honor." ”
"Hmph, don't think you've really become a princess, you're just a replacement, I can pinch you to death at any time, so you have to follow my instructions."
"You've lost the demeanor of a commander, and you don't even perform as well as the Chinese businessman named Wang Tieshan. You must know that at this time, you have to beg me, only the daughter of the great Nicholas II, in order to arouse the loyalty of the White Russian soldiers, so that your army will not collapse and disappear! ”
Kolchak's eyes widened in anger, but he had to admit that Sophia was not wrong.
"What do you want me to do?"
"It's simple, from now on, treat me as a real princess, and let me manage that batch of gold with you!" (To be continued......)
