the world is at stake

"Whenever an attack is launched, Chinese soldiers will follow the impact points of heavy machine guns and artillery, jump suddenly from two to 300 meters away from the position, and rush in within a few minutes."

"I can't figure out why they can get so close to us without being seen. Either they have magic, or our soldiers are blind."

"The Chinese attack was always sudden, and by the time we found out the situation was out of control. The 'gray animals' in the company either surrendered or ran away, and a battle was lost."

Those words terrified Kabaeva.Now that she saw the military camp beside the Irrawaddy River, she knew where the source of her fear came from.

Chapter 74 Want to Learn Russian

Kabayeva stayed in the isolation camp in Mandalay for half a month. After confirming that there was no risk of infectious diseases, she was arranged to fly to Kunming.

When she thought she would settle down in the "Spring City" in southwest China, the plane took off again and sent her to the far northern Xinjiang in one breath.

the reason is simple……

After three months of siege, the Russian Fourth Army stationed in Irkutsk, west of Lake Baikal, could not hold on.Its commander, Lieutenant General Zalitz, announced his surrender.

The Russian army maintained 25 troops before and after the Baikal front, with 10,000+ casualties.Lieutenant General Zalitz struggled for more than a year, and finally led the remaining troops into the prisoner-of-war camp.

There are nearly tens of millions of Russians in the Far East, and only a handful were able to escape back to the heart of Europe after the war started.In order to prevent these populations from becoming hidden dangers and burdens, and to use them for their own purposes, China needs a large number of Russian translators, even if they can speak English.

Kabayeva thought she would go to China to become a teacher, but after going around in circles, she went to the Far East, where her deceased husband lived.

In March, the temperature in Ulan-Ude is still very cold, and it can even drop to minus ten degrees at night.

Kabayeva changed back into her winter clothes, and deeply experienced the vastness of China's northern and southern borders-several climate zones can be crossed in two days, from warm as spring to freezing to the bone.

An officer of the Wehrmacht with arms hanging came to pick up Kabayeva at the airport, and the two shook hands briefly in the snowstorm.

"I am Major Jiang Yiwu of the 72nd Division of the National Defense Forces." The officer's palm was rough and strong.His English is not very proficient, but he can hear clearly.

"I'm Kabaeva." The woman said softly.She stretched out a slap in a sheepskin glove, and it hurt a little when it was held.The other party is not a gentleman at all, without the gentleness of pity and pity.

Seeing the woman looking at his hanging arms, Jiang Yiwu smiled and said: "Welcome to Ulan-Ude, we just need some translators who can communicate with Russian prisoners.

Originally, it was not my turn to be responsible for this matter, but I was nearly killed by a Russian artillery shell not long ago, and was forced to recuperate.In fact, I was only slightly injured, so I came to the airport to pick up people when I was free. "

Jiang Yiwu drove a commuter off-road vehicle and offered to help open the door.

The orderly trotted to put Kabayeva's luggage into the trunk, and said in a low voice, "Commander, this Russian girl is very feminine. Maybe she is not married, so don't let it go."

'Femininity' refers to Kabayeva's good-looking face, although she is wearing a loose cotton dress, she still has a big bust and a thin waist.In addition, the job of a teacher is leisurely, and her image and temperament are better than that of an uneducated young village girl in her teens and 20s.

The military airport in Ulan-Ude is not big, and it is full of big soldiers inside and out.Suddenly a beautiful young woman appeared, no matter whether it was a soldier or an officer, all eyes were straight, as if Diao Chan appeared in a pigsty, and she couldn't stop watching.

The orderly drove, and Jiang Yiwu took the co-pilot.He saw that the woman was a little unnatural in the back seat, so he took the initiative to say: "Ma'am, don't worry. We are a strictly disciplined army and will never hurt you."

Kabaeva didn't know what to say.She knew exactly what the 'gray cattle' of the Russian army looked like.

The Tsarist Russian army has never said that the military and the civilians are fish and water.In particular, the Cossack troops are known for their looting and rape, and their self-enrichment.

Jiang Yiwu's consolation could not appease the young Russian woman who came from afar.The latter was terrified after getting off the plane, and felt that his idea of ​​going to the battlefield for revenge was extremely ridiculous.

So what if you have a rifle?Can beat professional soldiers like wolves and tigers?

The off-road vehicle first drove into the city of Ulan-Ude, a huge barracks under military control.Most of the Russians in the city were forcibly relocated, leaving only a handful of personnel such as medical staff.

Kabayeva was sent to the hospital first, and saw the few Russian nurses who stayed behind, they were sturdy, strong, and straightforward.The hospital was overcrowded with a large number of wounded Russian soldiers.

Canopy beds have been used to place the wounded in the ward, and the corridors are crowded with people.Due to insufficient medical care, some lightly wounded had to work part-time as nurses to take care of the severely wounded who could not move.

The head nurse was fat and strong, and cast a fierce look at the novice who was assigned to help, and said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk tsk, look at this beautiful woman from St. Petersburg, why does she come to our remote place?

Look at this outfit, wearing delicate gloves, wearing a luxurious coat, and powder on the face, I smell a smell of powder.This is not to help, but to be served by servants. "

Kabayeva was flustered and at a loss. She never expected that the Chinese in Ulan-Ude would not reject her, but the Russian compatriots in the occupied areas would not like her.

But good looks do play a big role.The head nurse's mother saw that Kabayeva did not seem to be capable of heavy work, so she arranged light tasks for her, such as counting the number of wounded, distributing medicines, and giving orders.

Only two days later, the news that a beautiful woman had arrived at the Ulan-Ude Military Hospital spread like wildfire.His background has also been figured out - 32 years old, a widow, fled St. Petersburg, and was recruited to China in a daze.

Kabaeva herself found that neither the residents of Ulan-Ude nor the wounded of the Russian army were very resistant to the defeat and surrender. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

A veteran who served as a nurse mentioned this, lifted his arm that had been shot, and said with a sneer: "If I don't surrender, my injury will be amputated in the Russian military hospital, or I will die in severe cases.

Military doctors will not give us anti-inflammatory drugs at all, but will resell the drugs on the black market.In their view, a soldier's life is worth less than a penicillin. "

After years of industrialized production, the types and output of mycin drugs worldwide have increased by several orders of magnitude, but it is still far from enough to meet the needs of a population of 18 billion.

Probably the only one that has no shortage of medicines is the army, and the wounded do not need to pay for medicines—but this does not exist in Russia. The army is procuring medicines in large quantities, but the frontlines are still in short supply.

"The quack doctors in the Russian army would only saw their arms and legs when they saw wounds. The amputated limbs buried every day needed more than a dozen baskets. In summer, wild dogs would even dig open the buried soil and eat human flesh.

In winter, the ground is too hard to bury, so it can only be poured into the field.When hundreds of arms and thighs that have been blackened by freezing appear in front of you, you will feel like you are in hell, and you will be scared to cry.

The Russian army's hospital is like a man-eating devil's den, and no one wants to go there.In order to survive, the wounded must try their best to avoid the Russian military medical containment team and surrender to the Chinese.

In contrast, the Chinese army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, who were fed and clothed, and treated for injuries.Of course, the premise is that none of us resist, and their casualties are small. "

Through the veteran's description, Kabayeva only felt dizzy, and could imagine the scene of the frontline being routed like a mountain-in order to end the war, the "gray cattle" would rather lose Russia than continue to fight.

When the Wehrmacht forcibly passed through Lake Baikal in winter, the Russian heavy artillery should shell the ice, but the infantry on the front line did not provide the shelling position to the rear artillery at all, or deliberately reported a wrong position.

Lake Baikal is [-] kilometers long from east to west and is very open.As long as the Russian army is active in combat, the National Defense Forces will have to pay a huge price if they want to rush over.

But in fact, the Russian army on the front line did not want to fight anymore. They watched Chinese chariots cross the thick ice and Chinese engineers laid tracks.When their opponents rushed up, they handed over their guns and surrendered, waiting to enter the prisoner-of-war camp.

This is quite a bit of "water drought locust soup" means.The bureaucracy is too bad, and the soldiers and civilians at the bottom are forced to help the enemy of the country rather than wait for death.

The Battle of Lake Baikal was a disastrous defeat for the Russian army. Without the hindrance of the vast lake, the Chinese army could drive straight along the Siberian Railway.

The follow-up Russian army could not even destroy the railway, at most they blew up some roadbeds or bridges and tunnels.But these damages can be repaired quickly, and they cannot hold back the National Defense Forces for a few days.

In Ulan-Ude, whether it is a military hospital or a prisoner-of-war camp, the mood of the wounded and prisoners is quite happy.The Chinese side stated that they could be repatriated after the spring, but most of the residents and soldiers were not happy.

Why are you going back?

Will he be forced to join the army again, and will he be subjected to heavy artillery and air strikes by the National Defense Forces?Why bother.

Many Russian soldiers in prison camps simply joined the Russian Liberation Army.This unit does not perform combat missions, but is happy to provide logistics for the Chinese National Defense Forces in the rear.

Unlike the fanaticism of the converts of the Japanese Liberation Army, the Russian Maozi soldiers did not have such ideas.They simply hope to find a stable job, with monthly income and food, as long as they don't die at any time.

Under the trend of such a small wish, the number of the Russian People's Liberation Army is rapidly expanding, from 60 to [-] balloons to [-], and it is about to become a subsidiary of the Northern Xinjiang Construction Corps.

Kabaeva, from St. Petersburg, was taken aback by her compatriot's lazy attitude.She was feeling anxious and blaming herself for her gradually fading revenge mentality, but found that the people in the "enemy-occupied area" in the Far East were all very calm.

St. Petersburg is six or seven thousand kilometers away from the Far East, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Who cares what the bureaucrats think?

In the hospital, the wounded and the doctors and nurses would chat about various topics. The latest hot topic is whether China will include the entire Far East as its own territory, or establish a puppet regime.

How will Russians in the Far East deal with themselves?

The Chinese government obviously hopes that the Russians in the Far East will leave by themselves, but they have not resorted to violence.The family business and property of the local people could not be moved away.They want autonomy, but the odds are low.

When it came to April, the temperature in the Far East returned to above zero.

The National Defense Forces successfully pushed the front of Lake Baikal two hundred kilometers westward, and at the same time successfully ended the key Central Asian campaign and captured Semipalatinsk.

The Russian Communist Party's "cloth" was defeated but not chaotic. It retreated in great strides and broke away from contact with the Chinese National Defense Forces on the Eastern Front to reorganize the army.China, on the other hand, has a headache in terms of logistics, and is a little bit out of control.

Irkutsk, which has just been captured, is nearly [-] kilometers away from Novosibirsk, the next important Russian city, which is too damn far away.It is easy to be reversed and pushed back if the solitary army goes deep.

But both China and Russia were unwilling, so they fell into the stage of repairing the earth and hoarding supplies again.

China focuses on investing in industries in Xinjiang, especially the oil fields and refineries in Karamay. Otherwise, transporting gasoline across [-] to [-] kilometers would be too much for the country.

Kabaeva felt that it was meaningless for her to come to China. After two or three months of calm, she only regretted it and wanted to go back to St. Petersburg.But after she was busy in the hospital for a while, she found that the Chinese military officer who picked up the plane at the beginning always came to make friends with her.

The excuses for approaching are so vulgar...want to learn Russian.

Chapter 75 Are You Married?

"Kabayeva."

The head nurse's loud voice sounded outside the office, it was so loud that everyone in the hospital could hear it.She walked in with a smile and yelled in a gossip-filled tone, "The Chinese officer is here again, chatting with the dean outside."

The widow from St. Petersburg was copying the form behind the desk, looked up, and was not interested in answering anything.She has been in Ulan-Ude for three months, and the new environment brings a different experience.

The burly head nurse of Russian origin walked to the office window, pouted outside, and said with a smile, "Here, he's right below, with flowers in his hands."

Kabaeva glanced out the window.A Chinese man in military uniform was chatting and laughing with the dean.The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

So the woman shrank back in shock and muttered 'idiot' in a low voice.

Seeing the interaction between the two, the head nurse also stood in front of the window and looked down, shook his head to the man outside, and said, "It's pretty stupid, it took three months to learn how to send flowers, and it's been a long time since I proposed. Do you want women to take the initiative?"

This made Kabayeva even more embarrassed, and her face turned red.

It was almost July, and the days in Ulan-Ude were too magical for the female geography teacher from St. Petersburg. She hadn't figured out how to deal with it.

In April, Kabaeva wanted to go home.

But suddenly a terrible news came in Europe, the different factions that controlled Russia were infighting.

After facing successive failures on the east and west fronts, the Russian Communist Party, which is not dominant, launched an internal anti-revolutionary campaign to stabilize the regime.

All of a sudden, there were political interrogations everywhere in Russia, the newspapers were full of "spy sabotage", there were staged public trials in the streets, detention without evidence and trial, and even the death penalty.

A large number of intellectuals, rich peasants, petty bourgeoisie, old aristocrats and old military officers are all subject to cold investigation by the All-Russian Cheka.

Such investigations quickly turned sour and turned into tools of political revenge and power struggles.The reason is that the Russian Communist Party's "cloth" has too few backbones. After seizing power, it expanded rapidly and accepted a large number of speculators.

Even Lenin admitted that after the success of the revolution, becoming a member of the Russian Communist Party became a fashionable thing with no risks and huge benefits.Many people don't know what 'communism' is at all, but they sharpen their heads and want to sneak into the party organization.

In order to keep the state machine running, the Russian Communist Party really needs to absorb a large number of old bureaucrats, old literati and old soldiers who have knowledge, voice and social management skills.

When there are more and more opportunists, the purity of the organization drops sharply, and the corruption and inefficiency of Tsarist Russia once again flood every class and corner.Therefore, the Russian Communist Party's "cloth" must increase its efforts to eliminate counter-revolutionaries and eliminate the unstable factors mixed into the party.

The Russians have been ruled by the tsarist autocracy for too long and have been under high pressure for a long time.Once they find that they need to purify themselves, they don't have much successful experience to learn from, and they can only continue the simple and crude methods of the past.

After only two or three months, the 'anti-revolutionary movement' expanded, and people were arrested every day in big cities.Once captured by the Cheka, the possibility of returning is very low.

When a person is arrested, his family often cannot escape.Wives, children, brothers, and parents are all blacklisted, and it is not uncommon for entire families to be executed.

As a result, social panic spread rapidly, and the out-of-control situation forced a large number of Russian intellectuals to flee, either westward to Northern Europe or Germany, or eastward to the Far East controlled by China.

Since April, the temperature has picked up, and hundreds of people pass through the Russian defense line every day, and enter the Chinese-occupied area along the town roads in Siberia.

The more people fled, the angrier the All-Russian Cheka became, so the anti-revolutionary efforts continued to intensify, forcing more people to flee.Under this vicious circle, the number of Russians fleeing to the Chinese-occupied areas continued to increase sharply starting in May.

Now the whole world is in chaos, even the United States is in turmoil, and there is no peace in any corner.

China also wants to send Russians from the Far East back to Europe.It's good now, not only are there no fewer Russians, but more and more.Most of these people have knowledge and skills, and there is no lack of scholars and scientific and technological talents.

In addition, after they arrived in the Far East, they spread the news of anti-rebellion to the locals, telling the tragic experience during the escape process, which frightened the Russians in the Far East enough, which was beneficial to the Chinese management.

After internal discussions between the military and the imperial capital's ministries and commissions, the original policy could only be changed, and the fugitives were not prevented from entering the Far East, but only required to register their identities and resettle them reasonably.

Kabayeva was unable to leave because of the "reaction against counter-revolutionaries", and she was terrified by gossip and rumors. In addition, her life in Ulan-Ude was not bad, so she was waiting in the hospital for a long time.

The east of Lake Baikal has been in the hands of China for a year and a half. Although it is inconvenient to be under military control, the remaining Russian people really understand the differences between different managers.

The city needs electricity, and the Russian mayor has been struggling for many years to get it right.As soon as the National Defense Forces arrived, they arranged logistics facilities. Water and electricity supply was a must, and by the way, they also provided services to urban residents.

When the [-]-megawatt thermal power generation unit is in operation, the quality of urban life in Ulan-Ude has been visibly improved.Residents can use some simple household appliances, and even heating is solved.

In addition, the hospitals in the Far East have always been poor, because the financial resources of the Tsarist Russian government are mainly used in Europe, and local doctors and medicines are in short supply.

The Chinese army requisitioned the city hospital in Ulan-Ude for expansion.After half a year, both equipment and manpower have increased tenfold.This not only serves the military, but also provides convenience to the local people.

This is the benefit of spending a lot of military spending.Urban infrastructure is being rapidly updated and constructed.Anyway, prisoners of war are also idle when they are idle, and they can't just eat and not work.

There is no agriculture in Ulan-Ude, but mining and forestry still exist.In addition, as an important logistics base, vehicle repair and maintenance can provide thousands of jobs.

In addition, a large number of troops are stationed, and the local economic development is greatly stimulated just by eating and drinking.

Chinese soldiers stay in the barracks for training except for fighting, and they will never see groups of drunken Jiumengzi soldiers wandering on the street.There were very few incidents of looting and rape, and social security was a hundred times stronger than in Tsarist Russia.

The war is still going on, and the people have to live.

Even Kabayeva understands that Chinese military and political personnel are very careful to maintain their relationship with Russian residents.There will inevitably be conflicts between the two sides, but they are resolved in time to avoid chaos.

Although the Russians in the Far East are unwilling to admit it, they have to accept the fact that life is better than before.Starting from their own interests, they are no longer willing to let the original Russian bureaucrats come back.

"Will you marry him?" the head nurse in front of the window asked back.

Kabayeva shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Don't ask, I don't know."

"It seems possible, at least you didn't completely reject it." The head nurse sighed, and said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Marriage is a transaction.

That man is a few years older than you, he values ​​your beauty and knowledge, and doesn't mind your age and past, maybe you can really try to get along. "

Kabaeva felt even more headache.She dared not imagine that with a mentality of vengeance, she would go half a circle around the world just to come to the Far East to marry a Chinese man.

It's like sending thousands of miles away (), there is nothing more outrageous than this in the world.

But at present, a large number of Russian women who have fled to the Far East are helpless, and marrying a Chinese has become the first choice for survival.Otherwise, their fate will not be very good, and it will be difficult for them to become prostitutes.
