Lin Yuan said: "In our time, Central Asia includes five countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, these five countries are composed of different ethnic groups, these ethnic groups used to be nomadic people, living on horseback, in this era there are also many people who have started a farming life, these five ethnic groups also have some differences, I will not elaborate here,"

"Historically, Central Asia is a clashing zone of many civilizations, in the early days, Greece and Persia used to compete for hegemony here, during the Han Dynasty of China, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, which promoted the connection between Chinese civilization and Central Asia, and later Central Asia was under the influence of Chinese culture,"

"Later, the rise of the Arab Empire, gradually brought Central Asia into their sphere of influence, the Arab Empire and the Tang Empire once had the Battle of Talas, the Tang Empire failed, and then the Tang Dynasty broke out in the Anshi Rebellion, followed by the warlords of the late Tang Dynasty, five dynasties and ten countries, China was in the midst of years of war, no time to take care of Central Asia, and Central Asia has since been out of the Chinese cultural circle,"

"Later, a series of khanates were established in Central Asia, and these khanates colluded with the wolf of Tsarist Russia and annexed the territory of northwestern China, and by this era, the Central Asian countries had completely become part of Tsarist Russia, and our entry into Central Asia was to strip away the heart and flesh of Tsarist Russia,"

Han Mingguang nodded and said: "Captain Lin has introduced the general history of Central Asia, let me talk about our methods of advancing Central Asia, I think that the reopening of the China-Europe Railway is a good opportunity, since the all-out confrontation between China and the European powers, Russia closed the China-Europe Railway through Central Asia, directly cutting off our 6 connections with France, we will enter Central Asia on the grounds of restoring the China-Europe Railway and promoting the economic and trade between China and Europe,"

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "It is indeed a good way to reopen the China-Europe Railway, but the reopening of the China-Europe Railway is not our only route to march, the China-Europe Railway is in the north of Central Asia, mainly in Kazakhstan, and we have to find a route to march in the south," Lin Yuan pointed to the map and said: "This is the Pamir Plateau in the southeast of Central Asia, the Chinese Zhou Dynasty called it 'Buzhou Mountain', and the Han Dynasty called it 'Green Ridge', which is the commanding height of the entire Central Asia,"

"I have decided to send a plateau combat division into the Pamir Plateau, liberate Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan on the plateau, and then come down from the plateau into Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the south of the Turan Plain.

"At this time in Iran, the north is controlled by the Russians, and the south is controlled by the British, we will wait after the liberation of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to see the situation, if we are in a hurry, we will go south into the Iranian plateau,"

At this time, Chief of Staff Lei Yun said: "Captain Lin, you said that we are going to cross the Pamir Plateau, but the Pamir Plateau has a minimum altitude of more than 4ooo meters, the mountains are vertical and horizontal, and most places are desert areas, is it too risky for us to cross here, I think it is better to cancel the plan to cross the Pamir Plateau, and only choose the northern road to march, Kazakhstan is a large plain, which is convenient for our mechanized troops to move, and we can enter the Turan Plain from Kazakhstan,"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, first of all, the task of crossing the Pamir Plateau will be undertaken by the 61st Division stationed in Kashgar, the 61st Division is trained in the plateau area all year round, and the commander of the 61st Division, Fang Xianyang, is the operational staff officer of our Beijing ship, and he has a lot of experience in fighting in the plateau area."

Lei Yun nodded, no more, Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Hua at this time, and said, "Old Zhang, you have to think of an excuse for us to enter Tajikistan,"

Zhang Hua said: "This is easy, after we included Siberia, the tsar in order to prevent domestic peasants from entering Siberia to join us, moved a large number of peasants to Central Asia, Tajikistan on the plateau is no exception, the arable land on the plateau is already small, and the Russian peasants have clashed with the original inhabitants as soon as they come."

"So the Russian peasants and the local population already have deep contradictions, which can be exploited by us, and I go back and instruct our people in Tajikistan to incite these contradictions, and then provoke disputes between the two peoples, and we can continue the idea of 'fighting in isolation' and enter Tajikistan,"

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, let's make the big plan for this operation like this, Lao Zhang, you go back and encourage the domestic businessmen to ask the government to reopen the railway, and we can also follow the will of the people to put pressure on the Tsarist government,"

After everyone finished discussing, they went back to prepare, Lin Yuan returned home and said to Shen Wanqing: "I plan to go to Kashgar once, you can prepare,"

Shen Wanqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do in Kashgar?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "We are going to march into Central Asia, I plan to let the 61st Division enter the Pamir Plateau, and I went to Kashgar to inspect them,"

Shen Wanqing agreed, and the next morning Lin Yuan took the attendants on the plane, and after more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Kashgar Airport, Lin Yuan walked off the plane, at this time it was already dark in Beijing, but Kashgar was evening, because Kashgar was in the westernmost part of China, and the time was later than Beijing.

At the Kashgar airport, the commander of the 61st Division, Fang Xianyang, greeted Lin Yuan, Fang Xianyang is a middle-aged man in his forties, who served as the chief officer of the plateau army when he was young.

The air on the plateau is thin, and the radiation of sunlight is much stronger than that in the plains, Fang Xianyang's skin is black and red, and his voice is also very loud, and when he saw Lin Yuan, he laughed loudly: "Comrade Captain, you are finally here,"

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to shake him, exchanged a few words, and Fang Xianyang said: "It's getting dark, I and the local comrades have prepared a dinner party for you, it's very rich, let's go,"

Fang Xianyang said while pulling Lin Yuan to the car in the distance, daring to pull Lin Yuan to the banquet, he was the first, Fang Xianyang's strength was very great, Lin Yuan was pulled by him and walked a few steps, got into the car, the car went all the way, and came to the city of Kashgar half an hour later, only to see street lights on the street, not many pedestrians, after all, this is the frontier, not as prosperous as Beijing,

Fang Xianyang took Lin Yuan to a hotel in the city, Lin Yuan got out of the car, stood at the door of the hotel and looked, and the other party Xianyang said: "I won't go in, let's go to the train station immediately now, to the front-line barracks,"
