Beiyang reactionaries

This is the largest oil producing area in the Soviet Union.Although the Soviet Union has begun to vigorously develop the Ural industrial zone and vigorously build new oil bases.But so far, the Caucasus region is still the main oil producing area of ​​the Soviet Union, providing 90% of the Soviet Union's oil.Because it is so important here, the Soviet Union also needs to focus on defense.Be wary of an ambiguous Türkiye.

Although Turkey has been in decline for a long time, Turkey is also a big country after all, and Turkey has always hoped to restore its former glory.Now Turkey has an ambiguous attitude, flirting with Britain, and flirting with Germany at the same time.The Soviet Union was worried about Turkey, so it put a lot of troops in the Caucasus to defend Turkey.

This is the status quo in the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union has far more enemies to guard against than China, and each is very important, so the troops that can be mobilized to the Far East are limited.If not, how could Moscow have sent Molotov to negotiate.What Gu Weijun said now is that China wants to join the "Triple Alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan", which the Soviet Union cannot agree to.Once China joins the "Germany, Italy, Japan and China Alliance", China and Germany are likely to attack the Soviet Union.

Among the imaginary enemies of the Soviet Union, Germany ranks first.Therefore, the Soviet Union attached great importance to some German intelligence.Germany's lack of oil is well known.Looking around, there is only one country that can solve Germany's oil problem, and that is the Soviet Union, the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union.With the cooperation between China and Germany, Germany's goal is directed at the Caucasus, while China can take Novosibirsk, take Central Asia, and threaten the Ural industrial zone.

This is unbearable for the Soviet Union.

So Molotov was thinking about how many possibilities Gu Weijun said.When everyone was negotiating, China did not join the "Triple Alliance" because of disagreements.However, China has very good relations with Nazi countries such as Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain, and everyone knows this.Germany, Italy, and Japan have also been striving for China to join the "Triple Alliance".If China really decides to join the "Triple Alliance", Germany, Italy and Japan will definitely be very happy.

Thinking of this, Molotov couldn't help frowning.

"By the way, Commissar Molotov. Just before I came here to negotiate, I just met a few people in Almaty. One of them was called Ansul Rashidov, and there were several people whose names I don’t know very well. It seems to be Ye Zikov. Anyway, they hope to get the support of our country, and hope that we can provide them with weapons and equipment, provide weapons and ammunition, and expel the invaders. I didn’t respond before I came, but I think maybe I will have it after I go back. decided."

"Minister Gu, is this really the case in your country?"

This time Molotov was really angry.

Because although Gu Weijun didn't say it directly, these names are still very familiar to Molotov.Because these are all Central Asian anti-Soviet elements in Moscow, and they disagree with the Central Asian countries being incorporated into the Soviet Union.In the early years, the Soviet Union had suppressed many such people.

Because they had little strength of their own and could not get support from foreign countries, they were quickly suppressed by the Soviet Union.But now the Chinese army has taken control of Almaty, a very important city in Central Asia.

If China really encourages these people, Central Asia will be really unstable.

China can continue to support these resistance forces through Almaty.A large number of weapons and equipment, a large amount of money poured in here, how many resistance forces will appear, splitting forces.Those people don't have much strength, but they are all local forces in Central Asia, with a wide network of contacts and great influence.

In particular, Central Asia and Russia have different histories, different nationalities, and different cultures. The gap is very large.In the past, the Soviet Union was strong in maintaining stability.But now the troops of the Novosibirsk Military Region have suffered a disastrous defeat, and there are hardly many troops left in Central Asia.Originally, the local troops in Central Asia were reorganized and merged into the Novosibirsk Military Region. In this war, the entire army was wiped out.The result is that there is currently a military vacuum in Central Asia.Moreover, the Soviet Union deployed many concentration camps in Central Asia, all of which were captured during the anti-revolutionary movement.Once a problem really arises, Central Asia will really be in chaos.

"Commissioner Molotov, our country has long said that we will safeguard the integrity of our country and our sovereignty, and will not invade any country. But if any country obstructs our country's maintenance of national integrity and violates our sovereignty, then our country will also Reserve all means of counterattack."

"Commissioner Molotov, for the sake of national unity, we reserve all means of counterattack. Your country must not underestimate our country's determination to maintain national unity. If your country insists on obstructing our country's reunification, then our country will take greater actions to fight back. safeguard the sovereignty and unity of our country.”

What Gu Weijun said was categorical.

Duan Xun is China's "semi-dictator", and Duan Xun's will is implemented in Chinese politics.For the land left by the ancestors of the outer northeast and outer northwest, Duan Xun is bound to win.Duan Xun has said this many times on various occasions, and he has also mobilized in turns in China's military and political circles.This is also the purpose for which the Supreme Council was established.

At this time, the Supreme Council does not allow any different opinions.

This is a totalitarian state.

The leader's will implements national policy.

For one goal, you can go all out.The previous war was just the beginning. If the Soviet Union does not accept China's conditions, China's actions will become bigger and bigger.Before Gu Weijun participated in the negotiation, Duan Xun talked with Gu Weijun in person.

The bottom line cannot be compromised.

If the USSR disagrees, China will continue the war.Moreover, they did not hesitate to expand the war, even to the Central Asian region, or even to the heart of the Soviet Union.

"Minister Gu..."

China's attitude will be very firm, and Molotov was mentally prepared before he came.But he did not expect that China's attitude would be so firm that it would not give the Soviet Union any chance at all.

In fact, the situation on the battlefield is very bad now, and the Soviet Union has lost too much.Moreover, the Soviet Union has not yet found a way to turn defeat into victory, so Moscow intends to make some concessions.If you don't want to make concessions, it is impossible for Moscow to allow a boss of Molotov's level to participate in the negotiations.But Moscow hopes that China will also make some concessions, so that everyone can find a solution that pleases everyone.Both sides take a step back, which is what Moscow means.But from the beginning of the negotiations, China's attitude was too tough.

There is no room for maneuver, and the conditions set by the Soviet Union are not listened to.

The outer northeast and outer northwest will never give up.This caused Molotov, who came to negotiate, a headache.

So Molotov was about to say something, but someone opened the door.First, he looked at the Chinese delegation, then walked up to Molotov and lowered his head, whispering something in his ear.Listening to Molotov's face became more and more ugly.

After the man finished speaking, he nodded to him.The staff member walked out quickly.

Molotov turned his head to look at Gu Weijun and said, "Minister Gu, I think the premise of the negotiation is peace, and everyone should exercise restraint during the negotiation. What do you mean by the large-scale assembly of your army now?"

Molotov was furious.

Just received the news that the Northeast Military Region of China has assembled a large force and began to oppress Zhukov's Far East Military Region.Including the Xinjiang Military Region, the troops currently undergoing defense changes are also actively preparing for battle.

The reconnaissance planes of the Soviet army have been staring at the Chinese army. When they saw the large-scale mobilization of the Chinese army, they immediately reported to the higher authorities.

end of october.

It has snowed in the Northeast and Xinjiang.Moscow originally thought that when it snowed, China's offensive would stop, allowing the Soviet army to take a breath and take a break.Moscow also thanked the snow for giving Moscow a chance to breathe.Because once it snows, there will be many difficulties in fighting wars in the Northeast and Xinjiang.

This negotiation was actually the negotiation between China and the Soviet Union during the armistice.Moscow judged that China will not conduct large-scale military operations in winter.But Molotov did not expect that China was still mobilizing troops on a large scale during the negotiations.

Because it was snowing.

But the problem is that there is not as much snow as everyone imagined, enough to stop the army from fighting.Everyone thought that at the end of October, there should be heavy snowfall.But the actual situation is that it snowed, but it didn't snow like that.This is very beneficial to the actions of the Chinese army.

Zhukov's urgent telegrams came one after another.

The Chinese army on the opposite side moved frequently, and the air force of the Northeast Military Region also became active.In order to guard against the surprise attack of the Chinese army, Zhukov immediately responded.However, the Soviet Far East Military Region could only send reconnaissance planes to stare at the Chinese Air Force, and did not dare to let large troops take off to confront the Chinese Air Force.Because the Soviet Air Force's aviation oil has bottomed out, it is not easy to let the reconnaissance plane take off. Once a large-scale takeoff, the reserves will be gone.

However, it is impossible for the reconnaissance plane to fully observe the movements of the Chinese Air Force at the point of take-off.As for the radar station, it will be interfered by the Chinese army at every turn, good and bad.In addition, China has built a large number of air force airports in the northeast border area.There are many airfields that can take off to attack the Soviet positions.With so many airports, it is impossible to keep a close eye on them just by reconnaissance planes.

This made Zhukov very nervous.

The Northeast Military Region is the largest military region in China.

There are ways to mobilize 200 million troops with the most people, the most aircraft, the most tanks, and the most cannons.It is precisely because the Northeast Military Region is the strongest, so when the Northern Military Region attacked the Soviet Transbaikal Military Region, the Northeast Military Region would let the Hulunbeier Military Region send troops to support the Northern Military Region.

The Hulunbeier Military Region not only sent the air force to participate in the battle, but also a large number of troops and cavalry also participated in the final siege of Irkutsk.With the troops released from the Hulunbeier Military Region, the Northeast Military Region can also independently complete the capture of Vladivostok and the capture of Shuangchengzi.As long as the Northeast Military Region needs it, three or four thousand aircraft can be used in a short period of time to participate in the bombing.Moreover, after the outbreak of the Sino-Soviet War, the North Korean government was also very active.

During the last battle of Vladivostok, North Korea sent troops from two armies to participate in the battle.Now that the Northeast Military Region is preparing to besiege the Soviet Far East Military Region, the North Korean government is willing to send their army, air force, and navy to participate in the battle to support the Chinese army.

Because of participating in this battle, the North Korean army can also receive a large amount of weapon support from the Chinese army.And it can also accumulate combat experience.Although the North Korean government only has the northern region, it can also send 10,000+ troops to support the Northeast Military Region.

How could Zhukov not be worried.

The current Far Eastern Military Region seems to have 40 troops, and the real field army is only about 30.Moreover, due to the lack of oil, aircraft and tanks could not be used on a large scale, which seriously affected the mobility of the Soviet army.

So all Zhukov can do is defend.

During this period of time, what he mainly did was to build fortifications, hoping to resist the attack of the Chinese army.But without air supremacy and mobility, troops can only be passively beaten.Under such circumstances, Zhukov didn't have much to do, so he could only keep asking Moscow for help.

The same is true for the Xinjiang Military Region.

Two corps mobilized from the Lanzhou Military Region, a cavalry corps, and tank divisions and artillery divisions mobilized from various military regions have gathered in the Xinjiang Military Region.They began to switch defenses with the troops of the former Xinjiang Military Region.In order to mobilize these troops, railways, roads, and even transport planes are all used in the Xinjiang Military Region.

The newly replaced troops of the Xinjiang Military Region directly aimed at Aktoka, where the main force of the Novosibirsk Military Region is located.Because the air force of the Novosibirsk Military Region was almost completely annihilated during the previous war, the air force of the Xinjiang Military Region would come to Aktoka at every turn.

"Commander Molotov, I don't understand what you mean."

Gu Weijun spoke very slowly.
