Fengxian Jiangshan

"Comrade Stalin, although I hate to admit it, the facts are as you said."

Stalin sank down, and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.Kamenev said suddenly: "Comrade Stalin, I suggest ordering Yegorov to withdraw immediately, and then concentrate our forces to fight the Chinese."

Hearing this, Stalin stood up abruptly, his pupils turned into needles, and panting, he asked, "Kamenev, do you mean to give up the Far East? Do you want to give up these lands that belong to Russia?"

"No, it's just..." Kamenev continued to defend himself.

Stalin waved his hand violently: "Stop talking, you and your companion Trotsky are traitors, you have become China's lackeys, want to seize the land of the Soviet Union, I will not let you succeed..."

Listening to Stalin's words, everyone present was silent for a moment, and they instinctively felt that another storm was coming...

Just after the Chinese Air Force bombed Omsk, private contacts between China and Russia began. The two sides fought and stopped. Finally, Gu Weijun and Molotov reached a truce agreement in Kulun.

According to the agreement, Russia recognized China's special interests in the Far Eastern Empire and did not seek to annex the Far Eastern Empire.At the same time, the two sides also delineated the border of Central Asia. They gave up the area to the east and south of Lake Balkhash that was seized by Tsarist Russia, a total of 44 square kilometers.In addition, based on geographical boundaries, China's territory has extended westward, reaching the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea.

In other words, Central Asia has been divided equally between China and Russia. Most of Kazakhstan is still in the hands of the Russians, but the southern part of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan have all fallen to China. hands.

Although China did not win the entire Central Asia, with this agreement, China completely occupied the richest Amu Darya and Syr Darya River basins in Central Asia, and at the same time opened up the road to the Caspian Sea.

From the perspective of terrain, most of China's possessions are plateaus and mountains, while Russia's side is plains, but in fact the areas occupied by China are more conducive to defense.Moreover, after winning here, China directly borders Afghanistan and Iran, which is equivalent to opening up the road to South Asia and the Middle East, and the situation in western China is completely opened up.

The advantages of these strategies will not be brought into play until China is strong enough.But right now there are several benefits that are enough to make China choke.

In the area controlled by China, there are more than 1500 billion tons of coal, and the variety is complete, and it can even be directly used for steelmaking. In addition, there are also a large amount of copper, tungsten, uranium and other resources. There is no problem with the initial industrialization. The natural resources alone, according to the current valuation, are more than tens of billions...

Chapter 8 Victory Parade

As an officer who was trained in France, Song Kan only had Europe and the United States in his eyes, and at most Japan could still be seen in his eyes. As for China, he was ranked behind.

How can this country, which is weak and messy except for being big enough, bring any help to Siam!

Therefore, he strongly opposes dealings with China, but the King of Siam does not see it that way. The impression of China once was too horrible, but now China is booming again, making Siam full of expectations for China.

King Rama VII sent Songkham to lead a military investigation team to personally understand the situation of China's military industry and whether it can really help Siam as Zhang Tingshu said.

After Song Kan brought his people to Shanghai Port, he was taken aback immediately. Cargo ships from all over the world gathered here, queuing up for customs inspection.It's so dense that you can't see the end at a glance.In fact, many things can be seen from the trade volume of a region.

This level of prosperity alone is definitely not inferior to the first-tier cities in Europe. Seeing this, his heart to underestimate China has weakened a lot. After all, this is still a huge country, and it has too many advantages compared to Siam.

After he got off the ship with his people, he found that the atmosphere in the port was a bit unusual. All the Chinese people coming and going were beaming, with confident and joyful smiles on their faces.There are also lights and festoons on both sides of the road, beaming with joy, as if celebrating the New Year.

At this time, China also arranged officials to welcome them. After meeting with Song Kan, Song Kan asked curiously: "Does your country have any festivals?"

"It's just a victory."

"Victory? Who did you fight with?"

The corners of the mouths of the officials at the reception were slightly raised. After all, it is a small place, and they don’t even know that a war broke out between China and Russia. They are simply ignorant.

"We just fought a war with Russia, and the two countries just signed a peace agreement."

Song Kan is not an idiot, it seems that China must have won Russia.Otherwise, it would never be so festive.Thinking of the huge Russia, Song Kan's face was also a little dignified. He was a former European military police. He was able to defeat the Russians. It can be seen that the Chinese still have some skills, and his arrogance has also restrained.

After arriving at the hotel where he was staying, Song Kan immediately ordered people to find out what happened, and wait until he understood the situation.It also surprised him. It turns out that the Chinese are so good at fighting!

The Sino-Russian battle has been fought, and the Far East has been completely brought under China's control. Although the Far East Empire has not disappeared, everyone knows it.China's annexation of the Far East has entered the countdown.Also in the direction of Central Asia.China took back 44 square kilometers of land that originally belonged to China, and took away more than 130 million square kilometers along the way. Basically, half of Central Asia fell into China's control.

Adding up the two places, China's actual control area has increased by 500 million square kilometers. What a huge number, it is almost ten Siamese.Now Song Kan has completely put away his underestimation of China, showing respect and admiration everywhere.

However, this result is not satisfactory to the Chinese high-level officials, such as Yang Yuting during the peace talks.He tried his best to win the entire Central Asia, but was still suppressed by Zhang Tinglan.

In fact, getting access to the Caspian Sea and obtaining more than 100 million square kilometers of land has greatly exceeded Zhang Tinglan's expectations. The Caspian Sea is a famous treasure house, surrounded by a large amount of oil and natural gas.If China stretches its hand here, it is tantamount to grabbing a big treasure.

If you go south from here and get involved in the Middle East, it will be a more attractive cake. If you can control these two places, China will hang up two huge blood packs. From then on, the energy gap of industrialization will be Completely resolved.

Jiang Baili and Zhang Tinglan have similar views. At the discussion meeting, Jiang Baili said: "Central Asia is a transition zone between China and Russia. If we get all of them, it seems that the territory has increased, but in fact the cost of defense has doubled." increase, and will become a deadly enemy with Russia. By planting the seeds of the next war, we gain a little immediate benefit, but lose the entire strategic advantage."

Jiang Baili's analysis is very reasonable. If Central Asia is lost, the hinterland of Russia will be threatened by China, and they will definitely increase their troops desperately.In this way, how many troops China needs to station in Central Asia is enough, and whether its national strength can support it.

Moreover, the northern part of Central Asia is a plain, and there is no danger to defend it. Facing the torrent of steel coming from the Russians, how many resources will it take to defend it?

On the contrary, after abandoning the north, the south is an extension of the Pamirs, with steep mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.As long as a small amount of troops are hoarded here, safety can be guaranteed.However, in order to defend the plains, the Russians have to increase their troops significantly, so that they can contain their strength.

In the game of great powers, it is not always better to eat as much as possible, but also to look at the general trend. There is no doubt that China has already taken the lead in Central Asia.

Yang Yuting and others were finally persuaded. Of course, in the final analysis, it was still a matter of insufficient strength and lack of confidence. Otherwise, Russia would be dismembered directly and the threat from the north would be completely eliminated.

Zhang Tinglan really didn't want to get entangled with the Russians. During the Sino-Russian peace talks, the Poles took the initiative to provoke at the border and clashed with Russia.

All of a sudden, the war in Europe was clouded, which not only made the Russians jump, but also made Zhang Tinglan unable to sit still. I must not let this foolish person like Poland make things worse.

Therefore, Zhang Tinglan instructed to end the peace talks as soon as possible. At the same time, Zhang Tinglan also gave Stalin a gift, which was Trotsky!

During the battle in Astana, Trotsky fled with his men, but it happened to fall into the hands of Song Qingquan and others, who captured this leading figure in Russia.

Of course Zhang Tinglan was aware of Russia's internal strife, and giving Trotsky to Stalin was also giving Stalin a step.Speaking of Russia's internal and external troubles at this time, but it is not a time of life and death, they have not yet achieved industrialization, and their foundation is very weak.As the so-called situation is stronger than people, Stalin is also easier to compromise. Of course, he will not take the blame. Trotsky became the best scapegoat. With this battle, Stalin succeeded in eradicating the Trotskyites.

"Zhuoyan, how do you think we are doing the Russians a favor?" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"If you help, please help. Stalin is a cruel man, and he never relents when he kills people. His power is more beneficial to us than Trotsky."

Yang Yuting also nodded with a smile: "Zhuoyan, you see such a large place in Central Asia, who should I hand it over to? Should I directly build a province, or..."

"Linge, what do you mean?" Zhang Tinglan asked back.

"In my opinion, it's best to implement military control temporarily. After all, there are still too few Han people there. It's best to operate it for ten or eight years before establishing a province."

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Linge, what you said is insincere. If military control is implemented, how should those resources be counted? Should they also be put into the pockets of the army?"

Yang Yuting said hastily: "Humble words. How can the national defense budget go into the pockets of the army? It's also for national security!"

"Linge, why are you coveting those resources?"

Yang Yuting was told the truth, and he also smiled and said: "Zhuoyan, people are more angry than angry people. I heard that there are a lot of coal in Aktoka and other places. These coals have just been mined, and they are more expensive than those in Shanxi. The selected coal in other places is not bad. In addition, there are a lot of copper mines in these places. You also know that our country is short of copper, in order to make bullets and shells. The copper is melted, but preliminary exploration shows that these areas can produce several copper mines a year. Millions of tons of copper mines can produce hundreds of thousands of tons of copper. How much is it? If it is used to develop the army, let alone two aircraft carriers, even if ten or eight can be built, it will be paid by the way. It can produce twenty or thirty armored divisions."

Central Asia is indeed a land of prosperity. What Yang Yuting said is true. All kinds of resources are quite rich, and the taste is very high. For China's growing demand, it is nothing more than a perfect pill.

However, Central Asia was still at the forefront of confrontation with Russia at this time, and the local ethnic groups were complex, far from being brought under China's control, and military control was inevitable.But Zhang Tinglan is not willing to let the army control the financial power, this is his bottom line.

"Lingge, I agree with the military management. Ma Zhanshan is in charge and Deng Xihou is his assistant. However, the military does not care about the development of these resources. I take [-]% of the tax profits every year and invest them in military construction. "

Naturally, Yang Yuting didn't want to talk about Zhang Tinglan's decision, so he could only change the subject and said with a smile: "The conflict between Poland and Russia has expanded again. I heard that the Poles lost two divisions."

"Some small countries always don't know their own weight, and they find any troubles by themselves." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Linge, after this battle, we need to summarize too many things, and we also need to publicize it well. What do you think of holding a victory parade when the meritorious soldiers return to the army?"

"That's great, I'm going to prepare now"
