Fengxian Jiangshan

The reason why the people of Central Asia oppose Russia is very simple, that is, they brutally implemented agricultural collectivization, forcibly deprived the people of their wealth, and adopted a brutal policy of extermination of rich peasants.

China prescribes the right medicine and has come up with a property law, which promises to protect private property and make it sacred and inviolable.Leaflets in various languages ​​were printed, and they were disseminated to various places by airplane.At the same time, a radio station was set up, and the invisible radio waves transmitted the voice of China.

The war is not just a battle on the front line, but also a battle for the hearts of the people. Especially in Central Asia, where Russia's traditional power is not strong, there are quite a lot of grievances among the people, and they have long hoped to drive Russia away.Coupled with the agitation of the property law, all the rich peasants in Central Asia saw the hope of maintaining a prosperous life.

A bucket of oil was poured into the fire, and Central Asia immediately boiled.The most exasperating thing is that Chinese planes not only drop leaflets, but also throw guns.People in Central Asia are fierce and fierce. After seeing the leaflets, they grabbed their guns and organized teams to resist Russia one by one.

Coupled with the former Basmachi, the prince's followers, a wave of resistance swept across Central Asia began.The seat of the Russian government, barracks, warehouses, roads, and railways were all harassed, and Russia's control of Central Asia was almost reduced to zero all at once.

Only the Russian army in a few cities is still struggling, like an isolated island in the sea, which may be swallowed at any time.Regarding the situation in Central Asia, the Russian high-level officials have some understanding, and they also know that the situation is not good.

The Russian high-level officials were shocked three times a day, and could only increase the intensity of recruiting troops, but it took time to deploy troops, and it also took time to raise supplies. Obviously, time was not on Russia's side.

Just when they were in a hurry to make adjustments, another bad news came, Zarek was attacked by air!

Hearing the news, Stalin immediately slapped the table and almost scolded Trotsky for being stupid.Zarek is the southern gateway to Karaganda, which in turn is the barrier to Astana.When the squadron attacked here, it obviously chose the road going north, and the target was Astana, or even Omsk.

Trotsky also felt a burst of blush. There is no doubt that he was wrong again. The Chinese were even more daring than imagined. They dared to go deep alone and attack the hinterland of Russia. They simply did not take Russia seriously.

"Comrade Stalin, I am willing to lead the troops to fight in person, and I will defend Astana to the death, and never let the squadron come in." Annoyed and angry, Trotsky said loudly. He was ready to go into battle shirtless and fight with the Chinese side. .Don't think that Trotsky was a scholar.

This guy's military talent is also quite powerful. He is known as the founder of the Russian Army. He climbed through the trenches with the soldiers and fought desperately with the White Army. He is also an old soldier who has experienced many enemies.

Stalin frowned slightly. Trotsky couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to go to the army himself. , but what if...

Thinking of this, Stalin said calmly: "Comrade Trotsky, the situation in the war is very dangerous. A strong commander is needed to turn the situation around. I think it is completely right for you to come forward. It is not only about defeating China in the military. People, we must stabilize the situation in Central Asia and resolutely attack the momentum of those feudal princes."

The Russians are quickly adjusting and deploying, but although their speed is fast, they are not as fast as the Chinese side. They have entered the era of mechanization, and the attack speed of the Central Asian Front Army led by the Guards Division far exceeds the Russians' imagination.

The army was soaring all the way, as if entering no one's land. From the beginning of the war to now, it took less than two days to take Akdouka, occupied Balkhash on the fifth day, and captured Agadir and Zarek on the tenth day. .

After advancing more than [-] kilometers in ten days, the Supreme Command was asking almost every moment, where did it go, where did it go!

Regarding the progress of the armored forces, the Chinese side couldn't believe it. This was not a war, it was simply an armed rapid-fire battle, and the attack was far smoother than imagined.It seems that the only thing that can stop the tank troops is fuel, and only when they run out of gas can these guys stop and take a break.

In fact, the same is true. The hurricane of the armored forces must have sufficient logistical support. Since the start of the war, the greatest pressure has been the logistical forces.In order to ensure the supply of the front line, the reclamation corps in Xinjiang and other places were completely mobilized, drawing manpower and animal power from them.

Set up a special convoy to transport supplies, and after leaving the country, they recruited local laborers from Central Asia to assist in the transportation.Out of dislike for the Soviet Union, people in Central Asia even offered to help.

On the entire transportation line, a total of more than 30 people were mobilized, as well as more than 1000 vehicles and tens of thousands of mules and horses.However, the attack speed of the armored soldiers is still beyond imagination, so that the logistics troops are always left behind.

The tank soldiers often had to stop and wait for fuel, which made the soldiers very distressed. Huang Xiansheng was like this. His troops had rushed to a place only [-] kilometers away from Karaganda, and the troops had to stop again because of insufficient fuel.

The strong winds in Central Asia in the past few days have caused many soldiers to suffer enough, their lips were cracked, and yellow sand was everywhere in their clothes and hair.After finally being able to take a break, everyone also seized the time to eat something to restore their strength.

At this moment, a large group of planes suddenly appeared in the distance, rushing towards this side quickly.

"Have our bombers moved again?"

"No, Zarek's temporary airport is still under repair..."

Before the staff officer had finished speaking, Huang Xiansheng yelled, "Quick, the enemy's air strikes, disperse!"

Prelude to Chapter 8 and Three

It was the hottest time in Bangkok in June, Zhang Tingshu walked off the passenger ship under the protection of his entourage.On the pier, a group of people had long been standing and waiting enthusiastically.

But when they saw Zhang Tingshu coming out, they were all dumbfounded. They saw that Zhang Tingshu was dressed casually, with shorts, short sleeves, sandals and a straw hat, and he looked like he was on the beach basking in the sun. They were all dumbfounded.

Not long ago, they were notified that the commander of the Chinese Marine Corps was coming to Siam.After getting the news, the Siamese officials worked hard to find out the background of the commander. They didn't know if they didn't check.

This commander turned out to be the younger brother of the President of China, and what's more, he was an outstanding general. This division simply created a miracle in the history of war.

In the face of such a big man, no one in Siam would dare to neglect. Even King Rama VII participated in the discussion to determine the specifications for Zhang Tingshu.

Speaking of modern Asia, there are only three independent countries, Japan, China, and Siam.However, the destinies of these three countries are very different. Japan relied on the Meiji Restoration to squeeze into the ranks of the great powers, while China was too big for anyone to swallow.Siam, on the other hand, was sandwiched between French Indochina and British India, becoming a transition zone between the two great powers.

Counting small countries sandwiched between big countries, it is the most difficult. They walk on the wire rope all the time, and if they make a slight mistake, they will be smashed to pieces.It is also true, Siamese monarchs and ministers up and down.All trembling, a little troubled.Just can't sleep at night.

After the rise of China in these years, the shock to Siam is quite huge. The former kingdom of heaven has returned, and China, which dominates the world, has risen again.

The Chinese who are busy with construction may not be aware of the impact of China's prosperity, but these former vassal states, which have looked up to the Central Plains for thousands of years, have been stirred by this trend.

Over the years, Chinese goods have been appearing in Siamese markets.Chinese businessmen shuttle back and forth, and Siam is increasingly aware of the strength of China. Perhaps it can introduce Chinese power to form a three-legged situation, which is much better than the covetousness of Britain and France.

Regardless of their considerations, they all gave Zhang Tingshu, Prince Bripa, the elder brother of King Rama VII, great enthusiasm.Song Kan, director of the directorate of the Air Defense Anti-aircraft Artillery Force, came to greet him in person.It goes without saying how noble the prince is, and that Song Kan is not a simple person.

He had just returned from his studies at the Artillery School in Fontainebleau, France. He was a representative of the young and western factions of the Siamese army, with outstanding military talents.Of course, this is also the big guy in the scorpion, among a group of frogs at the bottom of the well.When a bullfrog suddenly appeared, everyone was astonished, and the voice of the superior was very loud.

The two waited for a long time at the pier, only to see Zhang Tingshu's casual attire, compared to their well-dressed ones.Sweat profusely, the contrast is too great.

Zhang Tingshu saw the crowd on the pier.I was also a little bit astonished, and after a few pleasantries, I finally figured out the situation, and hurriedly said to Prince Bripa: "Your Highness, I just came here this time because I heard that Siam is a famous Buddhist country with beautiful scenery, and it's just an ordinary tourist. Just relax."

Prince Bripa also figured it out. Ganqing is not an official visit at all. In fact, the problem also lies in the diplomatic agencies of the two countries. Except for officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China who often go abroad, other people rarely go out, and Siam also No big shots were received.

As a result, an ordinary briefing mistook Siam for an official visit and made a joke that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.Zhang Tingshu looked at the somewhat disappointed Prince Bripa, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the President actually attaches great importance to Siam and has long wanted to send someone to visit. I can also reveal some information to you. The State Reserve Bureau hopes to Purchase a batch of rice from Siam to enrich the strategic reserve."

"Rice?" Buripa said with a smile, "Siam is rich in rice and hopes to trade with China. How much does China need?"

"Two million tons, if possible, add some more."

How many?Bripa was frightened now, he thought that Zhang Tingshu was just putting it off, but he didn't know that there were so many openings, which really shocked him.

Later generations of Thailand can export tens of millions of tons a year. With the current output, the annual limit may not reach 100 million tons. China's export is several million tons, which is really scary.

On the contrary, Zhang Tingshu looked indifferent: "China's population has exceeded [-] million, so it's nothing to sell this little grain!"

Bripa was also frightened by this big appetite, and said with a wry smile: "Of course we welcome such a huge export, but I'm afraid we need to coordinate it across the country, otherwise we won't be able to produce so much!"

Song Kan on the side got a little impatient. He always felt that Zhang Tingshu was talking nonsense: "One ton of rice costs 150 yuan, and one million tons is 100 million yuan. This is not a decimal number!"

"Indeed, it's not a decimal, but it's divided equally among every Chinese, and it's only [-] cents. We can't afford it, and it's not only cash, but also arms deals, sea, land and air equipment, you can do whatever you want pick."

When he heard the word "arms", Bripa seemed to be struck by lightning again. Siam was sandwiched between big countries and urgently needed a strong army to protect itself. It would be a great thing if it could buy weapons from China.

"Cough." Song Kan said again: "As far as I know, the most sophisticated arms in the world are in Europe, and countries such as Britain and France are far ahead of the world."

Song Kan stopped, but actually understood the meaning very well, China is not enough to see.Zhang Tingshu sneered: "Mr. Songkan, there is a light cruiser Yarmouth parked off the coast of Lushun, but it is an authentic British product. If Siam wants it, we can repair it and sell it to you. Even if it is European equipment Really good, will they be willing to sell you good things?"

When Bripa heard this, his face also flushed red: "Mr. Commander, what is China willing to sell to Siam?"

"Anything is fine, tanks, planes, warships, and we can even build heavy cruisers and escort aircraft carriers. In addition to weapons, we can also help you train a full set of talents. As long as it is what you need, China can do it!"

Hearing this, Bripa was completely moved. Siam is in danger now. If it can get arms assistance from China, it is really important for this small country.

In fact, arms are one aspect, and more importantly, arms mean safety. China’s sale of arms to Siam is behind the endorsement of Siam’s security. This is of great significance.

Therefore, Bripa hurriedly settled Zhang Tingshu to one of his private estates, and then reported to the king as quickly as possible.
