Chapter 813 Victory Parade

As an officer who received training in France, Songkan only has Europe and the United States in his eyes. At most, Japan can be seen in his eyes. As for China, he is ranked at the back.

How can this country, which is completely weak except for its size, bring any help to Siam?

Therefore, he strongly opposed contacts with China, but the King of Siam did not see it that way. The impression of China used to be too terrifying, but now China is prospering again, making the whole country of Siam full of expectations for China.

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

After Songkan led his people to Shanghai Port, he was immediately shocked. Cargo ships from various countries all gathered here and lined up to undergo customs inspection. They were so densely packed that you couldn’t even see the end at a glance. In fact, you can see it from the trade volume of a region.

Publish a lot of things.

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

After he took the people off the ship, he found that the atmosphere at the port was a little unusual. The Chinese people coming and going were all beaming, with confident and joyful smiles on their faces. The roads were also decorated with lights and colorful lights, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

At this time, China also arranged for welcoming officials. After meeting with Songkan, Songkan asked curiously: "Are there any festivals in your country?"

"It's just a victory."

"Victory? Who did you fight with?"

The corners of the receptionist's mouth were slightly raised. After all, he was from a small place. He didn't even know that a war had broken out between China and Russia. He was simply ignorant.

"We just fought a war with Russia. The two countries just signed a peace agreement."

Songkan is not an idiot. It seems that China must have defeated Russia, otherwise it would not be so festive. Thinking of the huge Russia, Songkan's face became a little solemn. He was a former European military policeman who could defeat the Russians.

It can be seen that the Chinese people are still quite capable. His arrogance has also restrained.

After arriving at the hotel where he was staying, Songkan immediately ordered someone to find out what happened. When he understood the situation, he was shocked. It turned out that the Chinese were so capable of fighting!

After the war between China and Russia, the Far East region was completely under China's control. Although the Far East Empire has not disappeared, everyone knows that China has entered a countdown to annexing the Far East. In addition, in the direction of Central Asia, China has taken back the original

440,000 square kilometers of land belonging to China. Incidentally, more than 1.3 million square kilometers were taken away. Basically half of Central Asia fell into China's control.

Adding the two places together, China's actual control area has increased by four to five million square kilometers. What a huge number. It is almost ten Siamese. Songkhen has now completely stopped looking down on China.

All with respect and admiration.

However, this result was not entirely satisfactory to the Chinese high-level officials. For example, during the peace talks, Yang Yuting tried his best to capture the entire Central Asia, but was still suppressed by Zhang Tinglan.

In fact, being able to obtain a channel connecting the Caspian Sea and acquiring more than one million square kilometers of land has greatly exceeded Zhang Tinglan's expectations. The Caspian Sea is a famous treasure house with a large amount of oil and natural gas around it. If China extends its hand here, it is equivalent to

I caught a big treasure.

If we go south from here and get involved in the Middle East, it will be an even more attractive cake. If we can control these two places, China will be equivalent to hanging two huge blood packages. From then on, the energy gap of industrialization will be

Completely solved.

Jiang Baili and Zhang Tinglan have similar views. During the discussion, Jiang Baili said: "Central Asia is a transition zone between China and Russia. If we get them all, it will seem that the territory has increased, but in fact the defense costs will be doubled.

Increase, and we will become mortal enemies with Russia. By planting the seeds of the next war, we gained some immediate benefits, but lost the entire strategic advantage."

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

live.

Moreover, northern Central Asia is full of plains and there is no danger to defend it. Facing the surging steel torrent from the Russians, how many resources must be invested to defend it?

On the contrary, after abandoning the northern part, the southern part is an extension of the Pamir Plateau. The mountains are steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as a small number of troops are accumulated here, safety can be guaranteed. In order to defend the plains, the Russians have to significantly increase their troops.

This will contain their power.

In the game between great powers, the more money you have, the better. It also depends on the general trend. There is no doubt that China has taken the lead in Central Asia.

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

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

War clouds were gathering in Europe for a while, which not only shocked the Russians, but also made Zhang Tinglan unable to sit still. He must not let Poland, a fool, make things worse.

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

During the battle in Astana, Trotsky escaped with his men, but fell into the hands of Song Qingquan and others, who captured this leading figure in Russia.

Zhang Tinglan is certainly aware of the internal strife in Russia. Giving Trotsky to Stalin also gives Stalin a step up. Speaking of Russia's domestic and foreign troubles at this time, it is not yet a time of life and death. They have not yet achieved industrialization and their foundation is very weak. That's right.

As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the people, and Stalin is easier to compromise. Of course, he will not take the blame. Trotsky became the best scapegoat. With this battle, Stalin actually succeeded in eradicating the Trotskyists.

"I'm sorry, it seems like we are all doing the Russians a favor?" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"Help, just help. Stalin is a ruthless guy and never shows mercy when he kills people. His being in power is more beneficial to us than Trotsky."

Yang Yuting also smiled and nodded: "I'm sorry, look at Central Asia, which is such a big place. Who should be handed over to it? Should it be directly established as a province, or..."

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

"In my opinion, it is best to impose military control temporarily. After all, there are still too few Han people there. It is best to operate it for another ten or eight years and then establish a province."

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Ling Ge, you don't mean what you say. If military control is implemented, how should those resources be calculated? Will they also be put into the pockets of the army?"

Yang Yuting hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, how can the national defense budget be considered as being pocketed by the military? It is also for national security!"

"Linge. Why are you coveting those resources?"

Yang Yuting was told what he was thinking, and he smiled and said: "I have to say that comparing people to each other can make people angry. I have heard that there is a lot of coal in Akdoka and other places. As soon as these coals are mined, they are bigger than those in Shanxi.

The selected coal in other places is pretty good. 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 cannonballs, all the copper is melted. However, preliminary exploration shows that these areas can produce several copper mines a year.

A million tons of copper ore can produce hundreds of thousands of tons of copper. How much does it cost? If all of it is used to develop the army, let alone two aircraft carriers, even ten or eight can be built.

We can produce twenty or thirty armored divisions."

Central Asia is indeed a land of wealth. What Yang Yuting said is true at all. Various resources are quite abundant and the taste is extremely high. For China's growing demand, it is like a great tonic pill.

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

"Ling Ge, I agree with the military control. I will hand it over to Ma Zhanshan and let Deng Xihou be his assistant. However, the army will not be in charge of the development of these resources. I will take 30% of the tax profits every year and invest it in military construction.

"

Naturally, Yang Yuting couldn't say much about Zhang Tinglan's decision. He could only change the topic 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. Any troubles they have are brought on by themselves." Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Lin Ge, after this battle, we need to summarize a lot of things, and we also need to publicize them well.

Let’s hold a victory parade while waiting for the meritorious soldiers to return to the army, what do you think?”

"That's great, I'll prepare now"



It has been two months since the fighting ended, and more than a month since the peace talks ended. Central Asia has ushered in the harvest season again, but most of the former farmland has been abandoned. A large number of people have fled, and Central Asia has experienced a new

of shuffling.

China and Russia are divided here. Pro-Russian refugees fled to the Russian-controlled side, while those who had longing for China fled to the Chinese side.

As for China and Russia, both sides are building new defense lines and building defense offensives. Of course, this is relatively easy for the victorious China. In the hands of the Chinese army, there are more than 40,000 Russian prisoners, all of whom

Become the best labor force.

The Russians were unable to ransom these prisoners, and manpower was not valuable in the eyes of Moscow.

China is using these people to build roads and open mines. At the very least, it will build a railway from Dihua to Akdoka, and then extend to Bishkek, Almaty and other places. In addition, China is in urgent need of a large amount of copper.

Mines must also be developed as quickly as possible.

The Russians are not slow in their actions. They have no prisoners of war to use, but they also have their own method, which is to conduct large-scale raids in Central Asia, pick out those who may have problems, and send them to concentration camps. In this way,

Everyone was in danger, but they pushed people to China's side for no reason, but according to the Russian style, they didn't care about this.

Central Asia is gradually becoming more stable, and the various troops participating in the war have gradually withdrawn from the front line. The victory parade that Zhang Tinglan has been planning has also been put on the agenda. In addition to Central Asia, defense changes have also been carried out in the Far East. Since the war began, the Far East

They are under greater pressure. Without their sacrifice, there would be no breakthrough in Central Asia. Therefore, they are also the troops that receive the most awards.

All the meritorious troops gathered in the capital. Of course, it is impossible for all the hundreds of thousands of troops to participate in the victory parade. Only the elite of each army, who have made military exploits, can have this opportunity.

On October 12, 1928, the capital was extremely lively, with jubilant crowds everywhere, and the streets and alleys were filled with national flags and military flags. During the expedition, there was also a military parade, but at that time it was to cheer up before the war, and everything was based on the military theme.

Mainly focused on action, this time it was more like a grand celebration.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, countless people gathered in the square. It was so dense and dark that it was impossible to see the end. The loudspeakers arranged around it were playing majestic military music.

After the music stopped, a host said: "Compatriots, everyone must know Li Bai, the poet, but do you know where he was born?"

"Suiye City! This is a place name from the Tang Dynasty. Suiye was once one of the four towns in Anxi during the Tang Dynasty. In other words, this city was under the control of China during the Tang Dynasty. But it is a pity.

, for a long time afterwards, we lost control of this place. The dignified Shixian was at risk of becoming a foreigner, but at this time I want to solemnly tell all the people that everyone no longer has to worry about the birth of Shixian.

The land has returned to China’s control!”

After hearing this, everyone present immediately cheered. Hundreds of thousands of people cheered loudly together, as if they wanted to vent all the pent-up emotions in their chests.

Listening to these heartfelt cries, the faces of the representatives from various countries who came to observe were not very good-looking. The Chinese nationalism continues to expand amidst such victories again and again. A China that has regained its high spirits is very important to them.

It's definitely a challenge.

"Compatriots, the ancient city of Suiye has been destroyed. The original site was 8 kilometers southwest of Tokmak City in Kyrgyzstan. It is now called Ak-Beshim. This sacred land gave birth to poetry.

The land of immortals has returned, and has been officially renamed Suiye. The former military town is back, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty is not far away!"

The host's impassioned words completely ignited the atmosphere. Countless people waved national flags, cheered enthusiastically, and used all their strength.

"Now let us appreciate the heroic style of regaining lost ground."

After speaking, the military parade officially began. From one end of Chang'an Street, a neat square array slowly walked over. After seeing these people, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.
