Expedition to Europe

Chapter 446 Money is the bottom line

Just after the World War ended, Qin Zhiyuan organized an airborne force.

To be honest, it is not difficult to organize an airborne force as long as there are enough transport aircraft. After all, as long as the problem of the aircraft is solved, it is not difficult to solve the problem of parachutes.

Transport aircraft can not only be used to transport troops, but can also be used to airdrop supplies.

Among the transport aircraft units that reinforced Chen Yongfu, only half were paratroopers, and the other half were various supplies, including enough bullets and 50 heavy machine guns.

Well, these bullets are enough to kill the Russians on the south bank of the Oka River three or four times, and those fifty heavy machine guns, to be honest, if reinforcements do not arrive, Chen Yongfu does not even have enough manpower to operate them.

The role of reinforcements is incomparable, and the seemingly porous defense line is instantly impregnable.

The Russians could feel that disaster was coming. Just as the transport planes were airdropping personnel and supplies, the Russians launched another charge. This time, it was not a company, but the entire company.

Almost all the Russians were charging, without any formation at all, and they were a huge mass.

Don't hold back at this time, so Chen Yongfu decisively said: "Heavy machine gun, load the heavy machine gun, shoot out all the bullets, don't stop until you kill all these Russians..."

Well, the so-called "all bullets" only have two bullet chains left, with a total of 500 bullets. If the MG08 is opened and fired, it will probably take less than a minute to use them all.

Better to use it sparingly...

Fortunately, the Russians were far enough away from the bridgehead and the airborne troops were fast enough. The airborne troops finally entered the position before the heavy machine guns ran out of bullets...

"Last night, General Liu Zizheng's troops and General Greif's troops completed the encirclement of the Russian Bolshevik 3rd Front. There were nearly 100,000 Russian soldiers in the encirclement. Here is a telegram from General Liu Zizheng. General Denikin meant to put these Kill all the Russians , but at the same time General Chen Kangjian also sent a telegram. If possible, General Chen needs more manpower to build Vladivostok. General Chen asked, if possible, can those Russian prisoners be bought? "The military rank has been promoted to major general, and the appointment is confidential." Gao Hongshi, the bureau chief, speaks clearly.

This is the Black Swan Castle located on Penglai Island, where Qin Zhiyuan and Julie stayed after returning to Penglai Island.

Black Swan Castle is built on a peninsula on Penglai Island. The foundation here is a huge stone, just like the Ayers Rock in Australia. It protrudes abruptly on the water and is surrounded by water on three sides. There is only a plank road connected to the land. There is enough privacy and security.

Just outside the Black Swan Castle, various ancillary buildings are under construction. Once the construction is completed, this will be the heart of Lanfang.

"Taiyuan, what do you think?" Qin Zhiyuan asked Huang Bohan.

Since Qin Zhiyuan returned to Lanfang, Huang Boyan has become a frequent visitor to Qin Zhiyuan's home. Perhaps to enhance understanding, Huang Boyan often visited Qin Zhiyuan's home. The two of them have been talking by candlelight at night for the past few days. Qin Zhiyuan deliberately win over them, Huang Bohan deliberately caters to them, and their relationship develops by leaps and bounds.

"Be careful of the Bolsheviks in Russia. They are too demagogues. In my opinion, if you need manpower, it is best to hire them from Annan and other places. For Russians, don't use them if you can." Huang Bohan said about what happened at the steel factory some time ago. I still have lingering fears about the "strike incident".

"It doesn't matter. The reason why the Bolsheviks made a revolution was because they couldn't survive. If there was a way to survive, no one would put their heads in their belts. If the Bolsheviks can live well in Vladivostok, then they should You choose where to go. Besides, Vladivostok is far away from Moscow. Even if the Bolsheviks want to return to their homeland, it will not be easy. The Siberian wasteland..." Qin Zhiyuan is confident.

In fact, both the Bolsheviks and Huang Bohan opposed the ruling group because their vital interests were harmed. On this point, there was no fundamental difference.

Qin Zhiyuan has a relatively thorough understanding of human nature. Whether it is the common people of Russia or the common people of the Republic of China, as long as they can survive, no one is willing to give up everything they have now to gain an illusory future.

"If Your Majesty wants to buy these prisoners of war, you must have a reason. If you buy them directly, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty's reputation." Huang Bohan was still thoughtful.

In another time and space, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council were known as the "Five Rogues."

The reason why hooligans are hooligans is because they do bad things unscrupulously and have to find a righteous enough reason.

For Qin Zhiyuan's sake, he should cherish his feathers.

"Of course not. We will give Denikin some support, and then Denikin will exile all these prisoners of war to Siberia. Then we will accept them smoothly." Qin Zhiyuan planned well.

"If that's the case, it's okay, but we still need to strengthen control and not let them have too much freedom." Huang Bohan is principled.

Through this period of getting along, Huang Bohan discovered that Qin Zhiyuan was actually a very talkative person, of course, on the premise that he did not disobey Qin Zhiyuan to the point of betraying him.

Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards the aborigines of Lan Fang cannot be said to be good, but it is definitely not bad. Look at the former Dutch East Indians who fled to British Malaya and the American Philippines. They basically worked as workers in local plantations. It was simply living in hell. There was no freedom, no rights, no security, no future, and almost nothing.

The aborigines living in Lan Fang, although their welfare was not as good as that of military families, was not much different. At least their safety was guaranteed. If they did not make trouble, they could live in Lan Fang in peace and joy. Moreover, the children of the aborigines could also go to school and receive nine-year compulsory education. Like the children of the Chinese, they were not discriminated against. This alone was countless times better than the original Dutch colonial government.

Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards children has always been tolerant.

Yes, during the Dutch colonial government, there were indeed conflicts between the aborigines and the Chinese in Lan Fang, but on the one hand, it was because the Dutch colonists deliberately provoked it, and on the other hand, it was because some Chinese "Kapitans" were indeed too much. This point cannot be avoided.

Even if there is hatred among the previous generation, it should not be passed on to the next generation. When will the cycle of revenge end? If hatred continues, there will never be a day when it will not be resolved.

Besides, when Lan Fang was founded, those local natives with Chinese blood on their hands had either fled or been liquidated. Those who stayed behind were basically those who did not do too much evil and could be saved. This is why Qin Zhiyuan did not kill them.

"Freedom depends on performance. If those Russians change their ways and live peacefully, there is no need to kill them all. Our Lan Fang will definitely be a multi-ethnic country in the future. European whites and Chinese should live in harmony. How to balance this bowl of water, Taiyuan, you need to think more." Qin Zhiyuan made a high request.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that Bohan will definitely work hard." Huang Bohan promised with a bow.

"In addition, your secret service should intensify its work. If these prisoners of war are transferred here, you should send people to go deep into them and select those staunch Bolsheviks. Don't hurt them, just release them back to Russia. Don't let them collude privately. Be vigilant at all times." Qin Zhiyuan added a burden to Gao Hongshi.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Hongshi stood at attention.

"Why let the tiger go back to the mountain? Isn't it peaceful to cut the grass and root it out?" Huang Bohan killed decisively.

"No, no, although the Russians were forced to hand over the northern Xinjiang region to us, they must be reluctant in their hearts. Kolchak may still have the intention of settling accounts later. There is still a long struggle in the future. For us, a divided Russia is the best Russia, so no matter what it is, as long as it can cause trouble for the Russians, we must spare no effort to do it." Qin Zhiyuan has a clear understanding of the nature of polar bears.

"What if we settle accounts later? If we give us a few years, when the basic industries are basically built, even if Kolchak turns against us, we don't have to be afraid of him. We can get rid of them all at once." Huang Bohan still wanted to kill them all.

"If it's just the Russians, it's not scary. The key is the Americans, the British and the Japanese. We now occupy the northern Xinjiang region, which has aroused the vigilance of these countries. If we want to continue to expand, we may cause strong intervention from these countries. At that time, we will be in trouble. We, Lan Fang, do not have the ability to challenge the world system at present." Qin Zhiyuan thinks far ahead.

"Hey... After all, it's still basic industry. If we can be self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition, why should we worry about these real and fake foreign devils! Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go to Wanghaizhou from tomorrow. I will not come back until the steel plant is built." Huang Bohan is desperate.

"Taiyuan doesn't need to be impulsive. Industrial construction naturally has its own cycle. Forcing things to grow is not necessarily a good thing. Let it go. Fortunately, we are not alone. At least now, the French are standing with us." Qin Zhiyuan is well aware of the way of forming alliances.

At the League of Nations Conference a few days ago, the Japanese raised the question of when Lan Fang would return the Northern Xinjiang to the Republic of China. This won the support of the British and Americans, but was opposed by the French, Lan Fang and the Republic of China.

France's reasons are very sufficient. One is that the Republic of China is in the midst of war and has no ability to manage that vast area. Another reason is that Japan has seized most of the rights in the Northeast of the Republic of China at this time. If the Northern Xinjiang is handed over to the Republic of China, it is equivalent to opening up a large market for the Japanese. The French expressed dissatisfaction with this.

After the French explained their reasons, only the Japanese still insisted, while the British and Americans were ambiguous.

The British and Americans had reasons to be ambiguous. The World War had just ended, and the British and Americans urgently needed to find enough sales channels for their products. At this time, the world's largest market was basically monopolized by the Japanese, which made the British and Americans with stronger industrial production capabilities really unwilling.

In the final analysis, most things in this world are related to interests.
