Chapter 42 Bear's Winter
As the whispers under the table of the "Paris Peace Talk Preparatory Meeting" ended, Russia was in an extremely dangerous crisis. The pain caused by the Chinese Qindao regime on the tail of the Russian bear was not waiting for the red Soviet regime in St. Petersburg to feel the pain. News from Europe made the Russian Revolutionary Committee feel the danger.
The dangers faced by the Revolutionary Committee at this time were not only attempts to be independent from Ukraine and Belarus, but also threats to Poland bordering Russia. Its head of state, Joseph Pisusky, believed that this was a favorable opportunity for Poland to expand its territory eastward, and planned to establish a Polish alliance by uniting the rest of Central and Eastern European countries as a breakwater to deal with the potential threat of Germany and Russian imperialism.
At this time, Russia, before the beginning of the civil war and foreign armed interference in the Russian socialist revolution, under the leadership of V.I. Lenin, the Soviet government quickly quelled the rebellion launched by the old Russian non-commissioned officers in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) and Moscow, smashed the anti-Soviet rebellion of the former head of the provisional government, the supreme commander of the Russian army, and general A.F. Kerensky and P.N. Krasnov, and stopped the rebellion activities of the old Russian army base station in Mogilev.
Subsequently, the military dispatched armed forces to the Don River District, Ukraine, Southern Urals, Belarus, Southern Caucasus, ****, Siberia and the Far East to suppress the armed forces in various places, eliminated a number of *** source areas, and established Soviet regimes almost all across Russia.
As we all know, the troops in the Far East have begun to submit to their 30-year "hard labor" in China. Under such circumstances, the Russians who suffered losses still decided to extend an olive branch to the Chinese. After all, the Russians cannot fight against all countries in the world.
Even if all European countries oppose it, then in Asia, there is a China that can prevent it from being attacked from both sides. For Russia, it is also the main basis for helping it overcome the crisis.
In particular, Lenin knew that China's weapons manufacturing industry, with the construction of Shandong's industrial system and the victory of the war against Japan, had reached the time to realize its huge potential. If China now possesses equipment seized from various Chinese forces, it would have allowed the Red Army to be greatly expanded in a short period of time.
Lenin knew that even so, the Red Army might still be unable to withstand the joint attack of the Allied forces equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. Then they needed technical weapons produced by China, especially aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, etc. If a large amount of supplements can be obtained from China, then Russia's victory will be guaranteed.
As mentioned earlier, this is the reason why the Russians and the Allied Army are willing to help.
Fortunately, William III, who had to tie his future to the Chinese for his own survival, and the existence of some German troops, always threatened the waterway near the South China Sea. This forced the Europeans to choose the Russian Soviet, which had just founded the country and faced the internal and external troubles.
It is worth mentioning here that although Russian officials have always been stupid, their stupidity has been discussed before. However, Kuye Island and the people in the areas occupied by Chinese troops are not so stupid.
Faced with the two paths of naturalization of China for 30 years of hard labor and referendum, they chose the latter very wisely, and publicly claimed that it was a naturalization of sincerity, a naturalization that cried and shouted, and could not stop it.
Since it complies with **, it complies with international law and should be recognized by the international community. Since it is recognized by internationally, Russia has not yet paid back the debts that have prompted foreign countries to establish a country.
This is what started in early August 1918. By August 25, when Cai E came to Tang Yunyang's official depressedly, everything had officially begun. Although it was not considered World War II, it would be a new war that was almost completely different from the war in the past.
So, can the Russians survive a seemingly bad year in 1918? If they can't survive, what impact will it have on China?
No matter how China and Russia calculate the future accounts, for the time being, China and Russia do not want each other to be defeated by European and American troops. If that happens, the two countries may be trapped in the two-sided attacks of the European interference army at any time. Therefore, the existence of one allows the other to obtain a prepared period.
When Tang Yunyang told Cai E the entire situation, Cai E felt heartbroken and cold.
At this moment, even if the army troops of the "Chinese Defense Forces" are connected to the new battalion and the Guangdong troops, there are only two tank divisions, two heavy equipment divisions, seven light equipment divisions, and two divisions of the air assault division and the Marine Corps. The entire unit does not exceed 500,000, which is even more than 100,000 people than Russia's 625,000 people.
I really dare not be like this. What would happen if China had another "Eight-Nation Alliance" invasion at this time? Even if it was defeated, it would be delayed by China's development time and opportunity. When the surrounding countries recovered, China's development would inevitably fall into fierce confrontation with the surrounding countries.
In fact, Cai E still did not know enough about European countries, so he had this view. This was simply impossible. Compared with the Russian army, it was an army of different natures. In addition, the Bering Strait and the Nanyang Islands are now controlled by William III and China.
Then the only places that may be attacked are India and Vietnam. As for the front pawns, there are warlords from Yunnan and Guizhou. Tang Yunyang's plan is that if European troops attack through these two routes, the naval battle in the South China Sea will be the main battlefield. The independence movement between Vietnam and India is a means to pull the other side's back.
If you really want to fight, you may not have to lose. I believe that as long as you last for the first three months, the main counterattack will begin from maritime battles between the South and the Indian Oceans. After capturing the Indian coast, you will immediately supply the Indian independent organization and seize a large amount of German weapons seized from the Beiyang Army, causing India and Vietnam to enter a state of chaos of "national independence".
When the British and French armies were dragged out, they could use armor and air force to counterattack, and even if they could not kill the armies of the two countries, they could starve them to death.
However, when European and American countries determine Russia as the target of attack, the above plan has become a thing of the past. Whether it is a whimsical or not, it will never exist again. What we need to do now is to have a good talk with the Russian minister and see Petersburg’s plan.
After understanding the whole story, Cai E's depression relaxed gently. At the same time, he felt a faint pressure. Obviously, whether in Europe, America, Russia, or Japan, they always had bad intentions for the rise of China. This is probably the science of international politics. Although he was not very concerned, he still felt pressure in military terms.

"Brother Songpo, please pay attention to your army and select the combat backbone non-commissioned officers and officers, and let them return to Qingdao. We plan to form two armored divisions and more heavy equipment divisions again. Otherwise, we will not be able to deal with the attacks on us in the future."
Faced with changes in the international situation, Tang Yunyang had to expand his army in advance. Originally, he did not expect that European and American congresses would dispatch troops to interfere in Asian affairs between the Paris Peace Conference. After all, this was not the case in history. Interference in Russia occurred at a certain period after 1919.
"Yes, commander, I will do this when I go back, but let's talk about it first. We have suffered a lot of losses in this battle. I'm waiting for the people from your recruits to make up for us!"
Tang Yunyang said, "Don't worry, you know, the soldiers in the recruits have been trained long ago, and they will report losses back and ensure that they can replenish the full amount as soon as possible!"
Without any effort, Tang Yunyang got the veterans and backbones he wanted from Cai E, and Tang Yunyang was also feeling a little cheerful.
"Since you've returned to Qin Island, you might as well go home and take a look before going!"
However, Cai E's answer made Tang Yunyang silent.
"Forget it, the country is in danger. Let's talk about those things later, say goodbye!"
Looking at Cai E's back, Tang Yunyang said behind him.
"Brother Songpo, I guess you will see your successor soon!"
Hearing this, Cai E stopped, obviously he misunderstood what Tang Yunyang said specifically for him.
"They are not far away from each other, and I just hope that the matter in Russia will come to an end in the future, and we will deal with them, the bastards who sell their ancestors and seek honor!"
Not long after, Cai E took a goose-type plane back to the front line. As for Qin Island's approach, changes have begun to quietly occur. Although construction is still moving forward non-stop, greater investment has been made in military production, and the most important thing is that the production of new tanks and aircraft is ranked first.
Although Tang Yunyang had already heard of the Western attack on Russia for a long time based on history and European intelligence, and had made some preparations, what he did not expect was that the other party was so fierce that it affected the development of China's industry.
Now that industrial production is fully shifting to weapons production, the production of civilian products is forced to slow down. Fortunately, the industrial equipment dismantled from Japan has gradually begun to produce considerable benefits in Jinan and several other cities, and finally alleviated the need for the production of some civilian products.
But this is like a drop in the bucket for the provincial capitals and large and medium-sized cities that are developing in a concentrated manner. In the process of economic and industrial construction, it is frustrating to encounter such things. In addition to being frustrated, Tang Yunyang has to find someone to vent his anger.
