Chapter 496 National Competition (6)
At the end of September, Siberia could already feel the chill in the early morning. Thin ice was floating on the wide Mias River. In half a month, the river that rushes in summer will enter the freezing period, and many areas in the south were even in the heat.
This is Siberia, which is in the midst of ice and snow for half a year. Mudslides, frozen soil, ice and snow, north wind and cold destroy all the creatures here, so no one likes to fight in such areas. Zarba also hates such places. Hiding in the castle by the river, looking at the south with a deep longing. It was his home, the beautiful Caspian city of Mangis, but now he can't go back...
After being conscripted by the Tsar in 1914, he was ordered to kill the Germans, but the lack of food and equipment completely destroyed the morale of the troops, so the revolution occurred. The troops were disbanded and he went home with his companions, but on the way he was caught by some officers who opposed St. Petersburg, picked up the gun again and sent him to continue fighting. He hated fighting and wanted to leave countless times, but the strict military orders and the deserters who were executed on the ground made him dare not leave. He could only endure it day by day and wait for the end.
Zarba turned her head. This was an ordinary defensive bunker, with more than 30 people stuffed into the narrow space. Many people snore against the wall, and there were only a few beds in the corner. There were still a few naked women lying on the bed. They were said to be female spies of the Red Army of the Poor Party. The officers caught them and "punished" them first, and then sent them to the brave soldiers who fought to continue to "punished". Therefore, this kind of reward is often received by the key river outposts in this location. Last night's collective "punishment" made several women angry. Zarba did not sympathize with them. In fact, both sides were doing this. He just dreamed that one day he could enjoy a woman alone and take her back to his hometown to get married and have children.
After scanning the raised white meat, he lost interest. Zarba took out the cigarette and walked outside to take a breath. The cigarette is from China and the matches are from China. Sometimes even he is thinking about how much money these things have made for the Chinese? Of course, he just thought about it. This is the above thing. His task is to guard the head of the brown and black flowing tide suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance!
Of course, Zarba would not think that it was a flood. The clear vibration of the ground undoubtedly told him. That was the cavalry God! It was the enemy's cavalry! As Zarba fired a gun and warned, the entire riverbank position suddenly became chaotic. As countless White Guard soldiers rushed into the position, the Red Army cavalry arrived in front of him. The fierce battle kicked off the Siberian War. Just when the Anjiyan battle was still in full swing, Moscow decided to do his best to resolve Kolchak and Dutov as soon as possible and curb China's infiltration into Central Asia!
In September 1919, just when the Battle of Anjiyan was in full swing, Fulongzhi mobilized more than 10,000 cavalry to set off from Orenburg. He avoided the heavy mailboxes along the way and detoured hundreds of kilometers, and launched a surprise attack on Chelyabinsk in the abdomen of Kolchak! The battle, known as the Battle of the Eastern Party, was launched in full swing.
The fire of the wild sky in the west made the Irkutsk water and telegraph room ticked continuously, whether it was Anjiyan, Chelyabinsk, or other regions. Any news that had a relationship with Siberia and Central Asia would be sent here, and then from here to all parts of the country through the telephone line along the Baoku Railway. It is this kind of transit that has gradually become the center of information gathering in the north.
Because of this, Kolchak, who is here, received the news that Chelyabinsk was attacked immediately. This made him very anxious. Although he is currently a cavalry who lacks attacking ability and cannot open a city with strong defense, he can restrain his side from waiting for the subsequent infantry to arrive with peace of mind. If he doesn't go back, he may also turn against others. In that case, Chelyabinsk will be very dangerous! Once Chelyabinsk is lost, he will lose contact with Ufa, and the battle situation will be instantly corrupt!
But as soon as he walked out of the room, he ran into Lu Zhengxiang head-on.
The scene in Sevastopol is still vivid in his mind. Two sets of British Ombo-style ballistic solvers and one set of Russian own Elkeson solvers have indeed been replaced with the urgently needed gun holder bearings, but before Izmael continues to start construction, he encountered a revolution and was kicked to the United States for so-called learning. This incident has always made him feel uneasy. Not only is the Izmael-class battlecruiser hopeless, but he also lost three sets of the world's best ballistic solvers! Even if China has not copied it over the years, it will definitely not be far away. This will greatly enhance their shipbuilding capabilities and will undoubtedly pose an obstacle to the future recovery of Vladivostok and the Far East estuary.
But now is not the time to turn against China, and the other person really took out the bearings to exchange them at that time, so he asked politely with this matter aside for the time being: "Hisser Foreign Minister, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Zhengxiang was in poor health and was very afraid of the cold, so he put on his coat early. Seeing that he and his entourage were carrying boxes, he pretended to be surprised: "Is the general leaving?"
"Yes." Kolchak said without any thought of going around in circles: "I need to go back to Chelyabinsk immediately. Please tell Your Excellency Yang Qiu on my behalf, I can't wait any longer."
Lu Zhengxiang naturally knew that the battle was urgent and smiled and said, "I think the general can talk to the vice president by himself."
"He's here?!" Kolchak was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Yang Qiu arrived at this critical moment, and he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. If this was not a coincidence, he would have chosen this time on purpose! The young man who only heard of his name was terrifyingly thoughtful!
But since Yang Qiu has arrived, it is not so little time, so Kolchak and Lu Zhengxiang immediately went to the living room. The former Russian Governor's Office of Irkutsk, Russia, had removed the Russian signs, and the flag of the Republic of China fluttered high on the roof. The industrial city in the Far East of Russia during the Tsarist period, second only to Vladivostok, has changed its owner. This picture makes every Russian who calls himself a patriot hate, but they have no choice now. Support from Britain, France, the United States and other countries is constantly decreasing. If China loses its support, it can be declared a failure.
While pouring tea for him personally, Yang Qiu looked at the man who was praised by Britain and the United States as the "highest executive of Russia". He was tall, white in skin, elegant and elegant in appearance. If he were not for the uniform of a lieutenant general on his body, he would not look like a struggling soldier at all. There were too many rumors about him, but it was only after returning to this era that Britain and the United States did not press Baoquan on him, so he picked up the teacup and said simply: "I know, you need support!"
Kolchak picked up the teacup and stopped slightly. He did not expect that the Far East ruler, who looked younger than the rumors, was so direct! He nodded: "Yes." He did not tell any lies. In fact, although Britain and the United States announced their support for him, they had only delivered 400,000 rifles, 150 cannons, 2,000 to machine guns, and less than 200 aircraft and tanks in three years.
On the contrary, with the end of the European war and the Dardanelles reopened, the Dunnie Kings team received strong support, and last month alone received 300,000 guns and ammunition.
This support cannot support such fierce battles. In addition, all industrial facilities along the Siberian Railway were removed by the Chinese National Defense Force in the name of preventing them from falling into the poor party. It would be very difficult to repair guns. If Dutov had not received support from 100,000 rifles and ammunition last time, he would have been out of ammunition and food! So he would have come here after being invited by Lu Zhengxiang and waited patiently for half a month. After hearing that Yang Qiu had the idea to support him, he leaned forward and said quickly: "Mr. Vice President, we have a common enemy now, and I think we can cooperate."
His eager actions and language made Lu Zhengxiang beside him lament in his heart that this all-Russian executive was not a politician at all and did not know any negotiation skills. Perhaps this was the reason why Britain and the United States first chose him? Yang Qiu seemed to have not seen his actions and said cheerfully: "50,000 volunteer soldiers, an infantry division that can set off at any time, 300,000 rifles, 200 million ammunition! 100 tanks, 5,000 barrels of gasoline, and wintering supplies." This string of numbers almost made Kolchak and the translator around him jump up, but the subsequent words made them fall into the abyss suddenly.
"You know what I want!"
As soon as the last sentence was spoken, Kolchak's eyelids twitched! He immediately realized what the other party wanted.
Gold! The former Tsar vault he controlled!
After purchasing weapons from China and the United States, he had used about 300 tons, and there were still 600 tons and a large number of diamonds worth a lot. But in the end, he was reluctant to do so. He wanted to serve as the basis for restoring national stability and development after unifying the country in the future, but unexpectedly he attracted greedy eyes!
Kolchak clenched his fists, his face turned pale, and he called out: "Hello Yang Qiu, you are blackmailing! It's blackmail! I won't accept such conditions!" These words made Lu Zhengxiang next to him secretly scream. Seeing him getting up and going out to see Yang Qiu involuntarily. After all, this is worth 600 tons of gold! Seeing that the currency reform of the Republic of China is about to be implemented, it is time to stabilize the market with a large amount of gold, so whether it can be obtained is very important.
Yang Qiu was still as breeze as the clouds were calm. He looked at Kolchak's mouth curled: "General, winter is coming soon. I believe this winter will be very, very cold! There is a fertile land in our country that can make at least 3 million people live happily!"
The two unrelated words made Kolchak, who was about to go out, suddenly shocked his shoulders!
