July 2, Petrograd.

"Comrade Ulyanov! Comrade Ulyanov!" People's Commissar of Military Affairs Trotsky, panting, pushed Ulyanov's office open and said loudly: "Oh no! The Chinese imperialists launched an all-out attack on our Central Asian region! They dispatched more than 40 divisions to attack the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic from the Pamir Plateau and Turkmen directions, and another unit attacked the Arash Autonomous Republic in the Kazakh direction. The imperialists are attacking Ashgabat, the comrades of Turkestan can no longer resist it, and Comrade Mononov asks us for assistance!" (Note: After the establishment of Soviet power in Ashgabat, Ashgabat was renamed "Portoratsk" in honor of the famous local revolutionary Pavel Poltolasky, and the original name of "Ashgabat" was restored in 1927. )

"Bang ......" the cup in Ulyanov's hand fell to the ground.

Stalin, who was also in the office at this time, hurriedly picked up the cup and asked: "Aren't they already 20 Red Army divisions already in the Mononov? They can take advantage of the local terrain to defend in the Pamirs." Even if the terrain in the direction of Turkmenistan is flat, but there are also Kopet mountains as a barrier on the border, so that people can reach the capital?

Hearing Stalin's words, Ulyanov quickly regained his composure, and he also asked strangely: "Why was he beaten to Ashgabat in less than a day?"

Trotsky continued angrily: "That's because the white bandits who are unwilling to fail also act as accomplices of the Chinese invading army, they are familiar with the local situation, and the Chinese imperialist army led by them can find the main force of our army to besiege or strike at the weak points of our army every time, and most of the losses on our front are caused by these traitors!"

"It seems that the comrades of Turkestan have not done enough to clean up the remnants of the White Bandits! I have long said that all the White Bandits, as well as their families and sympathizers, must be physically exterminated, and we must counter the counter-revolutionary terror with revolutionary terror, otherwise it will bring severe consequences to our revolutionary cause......," Stalin said coldly.

Ulyanov waved his hand, interrupted Stalin's words, and said: "Comrade Stalin, it's not about these things now, let's talk about it after the white bandits are completely cleansed, what matters now is how to deal with China's attack?"

"Now that the Far East has completely fallen, their strength is limited, and they cannot stop the joint extermination of the Chinese imperialist army and the white bandit army, and the comrades of the Far Eastern Bureau have withdrawn from the city, and they will carry out guerrilla warfare outside the city as planned. But the Far East is too far away, with Belarus and China in between, for us to be able to provide effective assistance to them. Trotsky said: "The only opportunity we have now is to go into Central Asia and help our comrades there." ”

"But we are now fighting the white bandits, and we can't spare enough troops to help the local comrades, Chinese so many people are dispatched, if we send fewer people, it won't work at all......," Ulyanov frowned. Now he is also in a dilemma, because the Ural Mountains and the Caucasus have contained a large number of Red Army, and the internal suppression of the wandering white bandits and the unstable peasants, the Budian government really cannot draw many troops.

Trotsky immediately walked to the map next to the wall, pointed to the Kazakh region and said: "But we must at least control the Western Kazakhstans, the White Bandit Army is not to worry, we can draw a part of the troops from the front." The Chinese army is gaining momentum now, and we must stop it, otherwise we may be in danger even in the Volga region......"

"Then how many troops can we draw?" Stalin asked.

"We squeezed in the Urals and the Caucasus, and we were still able to draw out 15 divisions. In addition, we can also recruit soldiers who have retired from the Eastern Front, so that we can also make up 15 divisions of soldiers who have participated in European battles and have combat experience......"

"But those soldiers are not strong enough to want to fight for a long time, and if they are to fight, I am afraid that they will soon collapse. "Ulyanov was not very satisfied with these deserters.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the families of these soldiers are centralized, they will cheer ......up," Stalin said.

"What about the officers? We don't have that many reliable officers now......"

Stalin said with a blank face: "There are still many Tsarist Russian officers who refuse to defect to the Red Army, and now they are also conscripted, and their families are also centrally managed. If you give them all political commissars, I believe they will be happy to atone for their sins!"

Ulyanov thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way, so he said: "Okay, then do it." Comrade Trotsky was responsible for organizing the army, and Comrade Stalin was responsible for settling their families and selecting suitable commissars......"

........................................................................

July 3, Ashgabat.

The "Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic" is a new "state" that has only been established for half a year and has not yet been recognized by any country. Since yesterday, this new country has been under a full-scale attack by the Chinese army. Ashgabat is the capital of the new state, but this morning, the capital has fallen.

Yes, the Red Army defending the city resisted for only one day and was completely defeated. It is not that they are not strong, but that the enemy is too perverted, no matter how high the morale is, no matter how brave the spirit, it is impossible to make the flesh fight against steel and fire, and under the advanced attacks of the evil Chinese imperialist army, such as aircraft and artillery, the Red officers and men suffered heavy casualties, and in just one day, their casualty rate exceeded 80 percent, and in this case, no matter how high their morale is, they cannot hold on.

This morning, the battered city wall was blown open by heavy artillery and heavy guided projectiles, and a large number of white bandits led the way with medium-sized chariots. The Red Army, with no hope of breaking through, and the country's high-ranking government officials retreated to the last stronghold - the building of the Soviet government. But the Southern Cluster clearly had no intention of storming, and they set up 280mm heavy siege guns and blew the government building into ruins.

However, the PLA did not directly occupy the city, and after the last organized resistance of the Red Army, they mostly withdrew from the city, leaving only a small number of troops to maintain order and guard important departments such as warehouses and archives bureaus. The city was ceded to the White Army, who led the way, and let them put the final touches on the city.

"Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......" The city was filled with gunshots, shouting, dying screams, and smug laughter.

"These white troops are really incompetent, they can deal with a group of armed civilians for so long, no wonder they have been beaten by the Red Russians......" General He Chengge of the Southern Cluster Command looked at his watch and pursed his lips disdainfully. "Hmph, what kind of law and order maintenance meeting, what kind of self-protection army, it's completely redundant......"

Chief of Staff Chun Yuxi said with a smile: "Commander, I heard that this method is the ...... of Chairman Liu of the Finance and Finance Federation, Minister Fan of the Central Social Affairs Department, and Director Zhang of the General Administration of Religion."

"Liu Yang, Fan Han, Zhang Yuandu......" He Chengge said a name, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "I knew that only the gang from the former North China Bureau could come up with such an idea......

"That's good," political commissar Lin Mengchu said with a smile: "We don't need to get our hands dirty to achieve our goal, and we can still have the money left to find a security company......"

This is a pact with the Belt and Road Party, and after taking this place, they will be allowed to take revenge. After He Chengge received the remnants of the White Army who had escaped across the border, he immediately reorganized the local remnants of the White Russians according to the predetermined plan, selected people from among these people to set up the "Public Order Maintenance Association," and established the "Self-Defense Army," or "Self-Protection Army" for short. Let these people maintain law and order in the area and clean up the diehards left behind by the Red Russians.

These White Russians had a deep hatred for the Red Army, worked diligently, searched for Red Army guerrillas and supporters, and carried out the White Terror. Anyone who harbored or had a family member who participated in the Red Army was arrested and executed, and their property was confiscated (half of which fell into the hands of the "Society for the Maintenance of Public Security" and the "Self-Protection Army"). Uh, in short, this is a bunch of white-skinned bandits.

Wen Desi and other high-level officials believe that Russia's current situation is special, and the two sides have already formed a blood feud after the Red and White Song Society has been playing for so long, and in this case, as long as they defeat the main force of Red Russia, and then let those White Russians maintain law and order, they themselves will retaliate. In this way, there is no need for the Chinese army to do anything, and even those civilian security companies do not need to use it, and the White Russians themselves will raise their butcher knives and kill the local people to the ground. In this way, the goal of reducing the local population is achieved, and China itself does not have to do dirty work.

After all, the situation here in Central Asia is different from that in Indonesia, and the Indonesian monkeys were not regarded as the same kind by the people of the civilized world, and now because of the riots, they have become "all civilized worlds can be killed", or "all white-skinned worlds are said to be killable". But many of them in Central Asia are white-skinned, even if they are "inferior white-skinned" ones that are one level lower than those of Europe and the United States, they are also incomparable to the Indonesian monkeys. Besides, there are already ready-made thugs right now, so why not use them?

Unless necessary, China will not personally carry out the cleansing, but will come forward to pretend to be red face if necessary to prevent the purge from expanding. For example, the Chinese side does not allow these "self-protection forces" to kill people outside the battlefield at will, and it is strictly forbidden to do anything discordant to their captives, especially female captives. All the people they obtained during the purge process were sent to the prisons established by the Chinese people, and then the Chinese would screen the captives. As for the screening conditions, women are under the age of 35, good looks, men are under the age of 10, and there is a skill, and there is another one, that is, they cannot be hardcore Red Russians, as long as they meet these screening conditions, they will be selected and sent back to China, and the relevant departments will carry out further education and reform, so that they can become new people.

After screening, the remaining Chinese and hardcore Red Russians will be handed over to the White Russian "Security Maintenance Association" for them to conduct a public trial of these people.

“...... The affairs of the Russian people, of course, are solved by themselves, and we only facilitate their judicial construction. China is a civilized country with the rule of law, and as for the outcome of those people's trials, well, that is the affairs of the Russian people themselves, and we will not interfere in them...... As for why the Russians should be allowed to apply Russian law on Chinese soil. Yes, this land has already been transferred to China, but was it not officially handed over at that time? Before the formal transfer, of course, it was up to the Russian people to act according to their own laws and customs, and our country is a civilized country that respects the customs and laws of all nationalities the most. After the formal handover, we will fully implement Chinese law here...... You ask the Red Russians who were sentenced to death? Oh, they were not Chinese citizens at the time, so they were not protected by Chinese law. ”

At a press conference afterwards, Gu Weijun gave the above answer to the reporter's question about the "mass public executions in Central Asia."

Later, this method became a common practice in China in the former Russian territories. Whenever the Chinese army regains a "lost territory" and defeats the local organized resistance, it will first use local exiles, criminals and local ruffians to organize the "Law and Order Maintenance Association" and the "Self-Protection Army" and use them as butcher's knives to purge the local resistance forces. Further clean-up was then carried out by the civilian security company and the armed police.

Unless these guys can't cover it, the PLA will never take action to clean it up in person, but will come out and pretend to be red as needed. And these X traitors are often particularly efficient because they are familiar with the local situation, and once they fire the first shot under the supervision of the Chinese, they have no choice but to follow and rely on China to the death. "X traitors" and "traitors" are the most disgusted everywhere, so the PLA can also use this to transfer the hatred of the locals to this group of people.

The effect is usually very good, although it is said that this set cannot hide from people with brains, but according to the experience of later generations, the disgust of traitors will be engraved in the hearts of the locals with blood, which is inevitable and unstoppable, and the PLA is quite clean in comparison. As long as you have a little feeling, you can't prevent the psychological erosion effect brought about by this set of methods.

The Red Russians of Turkestan also received instructions from Petrograd, and after the fall of Ashgabat, they did not care about entanglement with the White Russians, so they withdrew their forces to Kyzylsu (Turkmenbashi) and Charju (Turkmenabad), preparing to hold on to the fortifications of the two cities.

After a night's rest, the Southern Cluster left a mixed brigade in Ashgabat to protect the supply lines. The main force was divided into two routes. The main forces of the Third Army moved westward along the Russian-Polish border, sweeping all the way to Balkanabad, Kyzylsud, and all the way to the Caspian Sea. Then it continued north to Kazakhstan and captured Aktau, and then moved eastward to the Aral Sea and attacked the Khiva Khanate.

The Ninth Army marched eastward along the Russian-Polish border, clearing Dusak and other places along the way, joining up with the 136th Division north along the Tezhan River and the 141st Division north along the Murghab River at Mare, then attacking Charju and then crossing the Amu Darya River to attack the Bukhara Khanate.
