Above the river, Liu Jian left behind the carcasses of dozens of rotting and spoiled yellow sheep.

The sheer population, the polluted water, and the various hygienic habits that make people feel like they are causing a plague has been exaggerated.

This method was learned by him in the Western Han Dynasty, not that the Western Han people were accustomed to using this kind of terrifying method. It was the old opponents of the Western Han regime, the Huns, who used this method.

Every time the Western Han army slaughtered the grassland, it was bound to face a lot of headaches. In addition to the pressure of the wind-swept rangers and long supply lines, the most important pressure came from the habitual water pollution of the grassland peoples in the face of the attack of the Western Han regime.

rotting and spoiled animals that have been killed; Thrown into a river, the water source of the river will be undrinkable for a long time, and for a long time the drinking water will be filled with a terrible amount of bacteria and viruses that can kill people.

Such things have happened again and again, and there are countless clear records in the Western Han Dynasty classics. Every time the Western Han army invaded the grassland, the Huns would inevitably pollute all the clean water sources that could be reached within the reach of the Western Han army.

Thanks to the fact that the Huns often did this, this also allowed the Western Han Dynasty to sort out a fairly complete set of institutional treaties to prevent the spread of plague. But here, in Dothraki, Liu Jian resolutely does not believe that the Dothraki people with poor hygiene habits know how to weave the plague like Africans, and if you think about it carefully, the only thing that can be related to the prevention of plague in the entire Dothraki national habit is their cremation customs, and even Liu Jian feels that this cremation custom is likely to be to prevent the plague from the beginning.

With the extremely dense tribes and poor sanitary conditions in Kaodrogo today, it is almost certain that the plague will spread widely.

As for whether it can succeed in the end. Liu Jian didn't know.

He is now back in the Kohor Forest.

In Liu Jian's absence, Cheng Caiwei continued to rectify the military discipline of the Kohor Forest station.

Although Liu Jian and Cheng Caiwei are all kinds of unaccustomed and disdainful of the national habits of the Dothraki people.

But it's like what was said before. The only strength that Liu Jian can rely on now is these Dothraki people, who are young. Before the good warrior he cultivated grows up, no matter how reluctant he is in his heart, the only weapon that Liu Jian can use is the Arak scimitar of the Dothraki people.

After having a new weapon, Liu Jian will not hesitate to melt down the old rusty weapon and reforge it, launch a top-down purge, completely wash away the Dothraki people's noble leaders, and completely break up and reforge their original inherent groups to form an army that is absolutely loyal to him.

But now it is absolutely not, otherwise Liu Jian will inevitably fall into the same situation as the Soviet Union during World War II.

At that time, the Soviet Union was seriously short of cadres because of its own organization. As a last resort, they had to accept a large number of old officers from the Tsarist era to dissolve into the Red Army. The result was a series of vices of the Tsarist era, such as treating soldiers as grey animals.

Politically, the decadent and hostile forces were uprooted by this purge and vacated a large number of vacancies, creating a huge upward space for the young people at the bottom, temporarily solving the problem of class solidification, and the new young people were different from the old bureaucrats who were dying of old people, full of momentum and passion. In the army, this purge of old officers completely washed away the mark of Tsarist Russia from the Soviet Red Army. To a large extent, the loyalty of the Soviet Red Army to the Party Central Committee was recast.

Liu Jian believes that the real reason for Stalin's eventual defeat and the resurgence of the feudal elite who had been replaced by the skin was not because he launched a purge to kill too many people, as many people say, and everyone finally opposed Stalin. Rather, as Lenin put it: "No. They didn't kill enough! ”

Stalin did not sweep those people away completely, only to give them a chance to make a comeback, and eventually the Soviet Union fell. The financial oligarchs, who had evolved from corrupt high-ranking officials, stood on the corpse of the Soviet Union and laughed heartily. and devours all the flesh and blood of this country with impunity.

And those ignorant people who were agitated by the so-called 'freedom and democracy' only realized at this time that 'freedom and democracy' could not make their lives better. The financial oligarchs who rose from the collapse of the Soviet Union greedily devoured everything, and did not want to leave them even a little scraps, they needed not 'freedom and democracy' but bread, butter, caviar, vodka and the torrent of Soviet steel that would protect them, and they needed a ruler who was as cruel and ruthless as steel, ruthless and daring to do anything.

It is for this reason that as a weakened version of Stalin, Putin has been able to rise all the way in Russia.

No matter how much the Western world propagandizes and smears Putin into a new dictator, tyrant, executioner. But in any case, they could not deny that the final choice of the Russians was Putin, a tyrant who was very close to Stalin in personality and thought, and the leader of the country that most resembled Stalin since Stalin until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

It's a pity that everything that has happened can't be recovered.

The USSR has collapsed, and Putin is not Stalin after all.

Although Liu Jian is from the perspective of a historical observer, he feels that the benefits of the Great Purge are many. But under the circumstances, the harsh reaction to the Great Purge was enough to remark.

The young people who were newly appointed were full of enthusiasm but inexperience, and the chaos caused by the Great Purge did not have time to stabilize the ideological and military structure, and the result was that the purged people fought back desperately, and the result was that Nazi Germany fought all the way to Moscow.

If it weren't for the large enough territory of the Soviet Union, the depth of terror made the Germans desperate. If it weren't for the bitter cold of the Soviet winter, if it weren't for the fact that the newly appointed young officers of the Soviet Union quickly accumulated enough experience in the war with their lives.

Who knows what World War II will look like?

The most likely possibility is that Germany will still lose and the Soviet Union will be finished. Because the United States is so rich, in World War I and World War II, their war money has been earned enough to burst their stomachs, and if they leak a little from between their fingers, they can go to the Pacific Ocean with one or even two fleets a year like dumplings.

Stalin could have launched a purge, because Stalin held the highest power and prestige, and at the same time had a large number of party members, even probationary Komsomol and Young Pioneers.

He has a huge population base, a huge group of back-backed officials, and a great depth of terror.

And all this, Liu Jian did not have. (To be continued.) )
