Chapter 153: The Opportunity to Reclaim the Far East
Chapter 1503: Opportunity to take back the Far East
Nine-thirty in the evening, Xiyuan Study Room of Xu Mansion.
Liushenkov and An Yi sat face to face. On the coffee table in the middle were two cups of tea and some fresh fruits produced in Xuzhou. Liushenkov peeled off an orange and threw a few petals into his mouth, feeling the sweetness.
After enjoying the taste, he sighed happily: "It's better to go to the south. The temperature is suitable, the products are rich, and you can eat all kinds of things at any time. It is completely different from Siberia and the Far East."
An Yi smiled slightly: "Since the teacher likes it, I will stay longer this time, walk around, choose some local specialties that are not available in the Far East, and bring back more. The friendship between us is cultivated through mutual cooperation and fighting together.
It is an extraordinary alliance of interests, and the Far East is also the only country that has established diplomatic relations with South China. It is time for our bilateral leaders to travel more. I also want to have our prime minister lead an economic and trade delegation to visit next month.
Visiting the Far East!”
Liu Shenkov looked pleased: "An Yi, you are very good. I am the most talented and accomplished student among the students I have ever taught. When I was in Huangpu, I accepted you as my student just by chance.
, I just want to give you some random advice, but your strong thirst for knowledge and
My sponge-like learning ability is irresistible to every teacher. I couldn't stop and taught all my skills to him in a short period of time. You are very good. As a fourth-term student from Huangpu, you
Being able to get to this point proves that my vision is correct."
At this point, Lyushenkov saw An Yi was about to speak and stopped him: "Listen to what I'm going on to say... In the reception room of the General Staff of the Syrian Residence, you asked me what I wanted to do here.
I didn’t explain it, and then I took my wife and daughter to Xiyuan for dinner. During this period, I never mentioned my name.
Purpose. I have been silently observing, are you still the kind-hearted An Yi who was always honest with others? Are you able to accept our good intentions, will you be scared away by this? If one day, I and I
Those comrades have passed away, will you still fulfill the important mission entrusted to us?"
Liu Shenkov's words surprised An Yi: "Teacher, what happened? From the first time I saw you, your mental state has been very poor and you describe yourself as very haggard...
..You must never neglect your health because of work!”
Lyushenkov waved his hand, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "An Yi, let me ask you the first question now: If our Far East, as an ally, requests you to send troops to attack Kazakhstan with our Far East Army, until
Are you willing to pacify the five republics in Central Asia?"
An Yi did not hesitate: "Of course! This is an obligation that we must fulfill as an ally. Recently, I have also been thinking about the war situation in the Far East and Moscow. Judging from the current situation, the Central Asia region in southern Siberia is directly commanded by Moscow. The two major military districts of Turkestan Military District and Central Asia Military District, plus the Red Army located in Xinjiang, my country, can assemble up to one
Millions of troops, such an uncontrollable huge force, are like a thorn in the throat of the Far Eastern Republic. If they are not removed in time, when the war on the Western Front resumes, they will rush out from south to north,
It will bring unparalleled pressure to both of us. Therefore, it is imperative to resolve the enemies in Central Asia. We will definitely go all out and never shirk the blame."
Lyushenkov nodded and asked: "I would like to ask the second question now: When we encounter serious difficulties and our troops are stretched thin, are you able to accept that we entrust the entire war situation in Central Asia to you and send our troops northward?"
?Of course, we will sign a diplomatic agreement and, as a sovereign country, send out a message stating that Central Asia has been China's territory since ancient times. We are just respecting the relevant provisions of the Versailles System and returning Central Asia to the motherland."
An Yi opened his mouth in surprise: "This...can this work? Russia has conquered Central Asia for a long time, and we have no good reason to do this...I think Nanjing
The government does not have the guts to accept such a 'return'. Even I am beating the drum in my heart, after all, it is too risky."
"I didn't expect that An Yi, who has always been bold and bold, would also feel scared?"
Liu Shenkov gave a rare smile: "Don't worry, we have our reasons for doing this. In fact, we have a large number of historical documents to prove that Central Asia belongs to China. Historically, the Turks in the grasslands of northern China
The ethnic group once accepted the canonization of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Later, these people moved westward to Central Asia, causing the ethnic groups and tribes there to lose their own language.
, became Turkic people who spoke the Turkic language. The Tang Dynasty in China established the Anxi Protectorate there, and later added the Beiting Protectorate to implement effective management of Central Asia. The Tang culture began to become popular there, and in Chinese history
The greatest poet Li Bai was born and grew up in Suiye, Central Asia. It is conceivable how high Sinology in Central Asia has reached.
"During the Yuan Dynasty, the Chinese central government directly incorporated Central Asia into its territory. No matter which country's history book it is, it will not deny this! Even now, among the 11 million people in Central Asia, most of them
About one-third of the Dungan people also generally speak Chinese, which is similar to the dialects spoken in Gansu and Shaanxi regions of China."
An Yi had a feeling of nervous confusion. He never expected that Liushenkov would seriously argue with him that Central Asia belongs to China. Is the world crazy? No one is pushing their own land outwards.
And he is also one of the top leaders of a country.
Liu Shenkov looked at An Yi seriously: "I will explain my reasons later. Before that, I just want to ask you, are you willing or unwilling to accept Central Asia?"
An Yi was worried and gritted his teeth and said: "You don't want to, you bastard, but this can't be solved by just thinking. There are too many issues to consider. I..."
"Stop whining, if you want to, then you are confident in facing the enemy whose total number may have dropped to 400,000 to 500,000 after our two sides jointly attack?" Liushenkov
Keep asking.
An Yi carefully calculated the power in his hands, and after a while, he nodded sharply.
Liu Shenkov smiled with relief: "As long as you can hold on, we will try our best to create conditions for you to hold on..."
An Yi always felt that Liu Shenkov's mental state was abnormal, and asked with some concern: "Teacher, is nothing wrong? Why do I always feel that what you say is weird, as if you are entrusting your funeral arrangements."
Lyushenkov sighed quietly and did not answer, but asked again: "If... Of course, I am only talking about what if, if the Far Eastern Republic is no longer here, all of us division commanders who are close to you are no longer here.
, An Yi, can you guarantee to properly take care of the relatives we entrusted to you? I guess
By that day, there will be no more than 10 million people left in the entire Far East, and it will even be reduced to 5 million. It is very likely that these people will retreat into the Central Asia region that nominally belongs to China or South China. Can you guarantee their
Is it safe? In a life-and-death situation, are they even allowed to retreat into Mongolia to gain a way out?"
Hearing this, no matter how dull An Yi was, he knew something big was going to happen. His eyes turned red and he looked at Liushenkov excitedly: "Teacher, you have to tell me what happened and why you are so pessimistic.
Until then, I refuse to answer any of your questions."
Liu Shenkov insisted: "No, you have to answer my question before we can continue the topic. Otherwise, just pretend I didn't mention anything tonight, and I will leave by plane tomorrow morning."
.”
Now An Yi was at a loss. He thought about it carefully and finally nodded: "Teacher, I swear to you on the basis of my personality that if such a day comes, I will do everything I can to take care of your family and save all those in danger."
The people of the Far Eastern Republic will never let them die in a barbaric and shameless massacre!"
Lyushenkov nodded happily: "Good boy, I trust your words. In fact, before I came to you, our Far East high-level officials also had disputes. However, you and I, Mr. Gallen, Mr. Vasily and Mr. Hulin,
They all insist that only you are worthy of trust, and the promises of any other country or government can be regarded as bullshit!"
An Yihui said nothing, just looked at Liushenkov quietly, waiting for him to clarify the topic.
Liushenkov smiled bitterly, organized his thoughts, and then officially entered the topic:
“At the emergency meeting of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union in January, Stalin delivered his opening speech. He declared: The enemies hidden within us or split from within us are more terrifying than the enemies from outside, because they have mastered the power of the Soviet Union.
We must know all the secrets of the Soviet Union and know how to exploit them. Therefore, such traitors must be eliminated mentally and physically. However, we cannot engage in political purges and amplify the problem because of this. The tragedy of Yezhov is absolutely
Not in our Su
Viai is happening again, we must clearly understand who are our enemies, are they the soldiers who ran out of ammunition and food when quelling the rebellion in the Far East and were deceived into surrendering? Are they those soldiers who had to give in under the thunderous offensive of the Far East Army?
of Siberian people?
No, they are just poor people who were temporarily confused and fell into the lies carefully constructed by the traitors and could not extricate themselves. For these people, we should, based on the principle of treating illnesses and saving lives, mobilize their relatives to write to them and warn them to stop at the brink.
There is still hope
As long as they can wake up in time, we can give them a chance to change their ways and forget the past. If they are determined to be thieves, no one can save them and their families. And those traitors from the Far East, including those with corrupted ideas,
Slavic
We will never forgive the Tatars, Chinese, Koreans, and Mongols, because they have degenerated and are deliberately plotting against the Soviets, plotting to overthrow our government, split our Soviet Union, and make our working people reunite
set
Under the control of capitalists, they lost the basic dignity of being a human being. For the traitors in the Far East and the stubborn counterrevolutionaries that may exist in Siberia, their relatives stranded in the Soviet Union, going back three generations, will all be sent to concentration camps for reform.
All hidden dangers must be eliminated! We must use this upright way to show that it is shameful to oppose the Soviets and will not be forgiven. The Far Easterners and unrepentant counterrevolutionaries will be punished for their betrayal.
Regret for life!"
After listening to Liu Shenkov's narration of Stalin's arrogance, An Yi was not surprised. Dividing, buying and sowing discord is the most commonly used method in war. You know, among the 27 million people in the Far Eastern Republic, there are only
There are 13 million people, and the remaining 14 million are Siberians and Soviet soldiers captured in previous battles. Once these people rebel, the blow to the Far Eastern Republic will be unimaginable.
Lyushenkov continued: "After Stalin issued the threat, he used the darkness as a cover to send a large number of fighter planes to fly over the Far East and drop leaflets. He also dispatched a special operations team of tens of thousands of people, wearing snow-white camouflage uniforms.
Enter the Siberian region from Central Asia and the northern line of the Ural Mountains to conduct a public opinion offensive. Due to limited military strength, we can only occupy the Ural and connect with Central Asia.
With the main passages and passes in the Siberian region, it is impossible to block the entire border. Now people in Siberia have become unstable, and there have been many escape incidents. After those fleeing were captured at the border, they still plausibly said that they had their rights in the Soviet Union.
Relatives, we cannot watch our loved ones suffer and ignore them. If we are really liberators, why don’t we let them go?”
An Yi couldn't help but ask: "What did the Far East do?"
Liushenkov smiled bitterly and said: "What else can we do? Let them go! We can't learn from Stalin's butcher methods. So far, we have let about 2,000 people cross the border. I believe that the number of people fleeing will increase in the future."
.In addition, the army has also shown a trend of instability. Many commanders and fighters who have joined us after ideological transformation have become unstable.
We have been shaken. If the military camp was different from the local area and the control was tight, there would have been deserters. In view of this situation, we have begun to transfer the commanders and fighters who were captured later and joined our army to the Far East to help guard the coastal areas.
Primorye and Amur and other places, mobilize trustworthy troops to Siberia."
An Yi was surprised: "What if they are provoked to launch a rebellion in the Far East? We have about nine million Chinese immigrants in the coastal area. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lyushenkov nodded: "Before this, we have always maintained a one-to-one troop allocation. That is, the number of our troops in the Far East and the number of troops mobilized from Siberia must be at least one-to-one. Starting from
It plays a surveillance role. Originally, as long as we firmly controlled Siberia, there should be no problems. But..."
Seeing Liu Shenkov shaking his head and sighing, An Yi asked eagerly: "But what?"
"Now the situation has taken a terrible turn. Moscow has secretly reached an agreement with Japan to cede the Far East to Japan. As for Siberia, it will be distributed based on the principle of whoever gets it first will own it."
An Yi felt as if he was listening to a fairy tale: "Teacher, according to my understanding of Stalin, it is unlikely that he would reach such a humiliating agreement with Japan. Not to mention Siberia, even the Far East, he would not be able to
Japan!"
Liushenkov smiled bitterly: "An Yi, do you think I would joke about this kind of thing? You don't understand Stalin at all. He is a person who puts interests first and knows how to be patient and give in at critical moments. In his eyes, if Siberia
and the Far East are in our hands, then the Soviet Union may really continue to be divided, but if it is in the hands of the Japanese
Here, as long as the international situation changes dramatically, he can tear up the agreement at any time and send troops to recover Siberia and the Far East. Stalin has never paid attention to the Japanese army. All he needs is the Japanese to distract us from the side so that he can recover it easily.
Siberia, once the imminent threat is lifted, it is only a matter of time before we can take back the Far East."
Seeing that An Yi still looked in disbelief, Lyushenkov said angrily: "This has precedents in history. When the Soviet Union was just established, Comrade Lenin signed the "Bulletin Agreement" with Germany in order to end the war as soon as possible.
Treaty of Lester-Litovsk, which ceded 3.23 million square kilometers of territory to Germany, enabling the new Soviet power to
Fifty million residents were lost in one fell swoop. The ceded areas accounted for 90% of the country's coal mining, 73% of the iron ore, 54% of the industry, and 33% of the railways' total economic output. It was not compared to what the Far East is to the Soviet Union today.
Is the status of the treaty much more important? Moreover, it also needs to pay an indemnity of 6 billion marks to Germany. What a humiliating treaty this is?
"But what was the result? Less than a year later, Germany failed in the European War. The Soviets immediately announced the abolition of the treaty and then sent troops to recover the above areas. Not only was Comrade Lenin not criticized, but he was considered to be trading space for time.
The successful diplomacy made full use of international conflicts, giving the new Soviet power time to consolidate and creating favorable conditions for maintaining the power in the future. Moreover, due to the success of this compromise diplomatic strategy, Comrade Lenin's personal
Reputation reached its peak.
"Think about it, if Stalin used this opportunity to quell the chaos at home and abroad, especially to eliminate the threat from Nazi Germany and successfully regain Siberia and the Far East, who would dare to blame him? Besides, with this period of time as a buffer, he
You can also use your brains in Poland and the areas around the Baltic Sea, saying that you may not necessarily bring in a few more independent countries to join the Soviet Union, then his achievements may not be worse than Comrade Lenin!"
Now An Yi finally understood and said with a wry smile: "So, the Japanese will send troops to the Far East in the near future?"
Liushenkov sighed: "Our intelligence personnel hidden in the upper echelons of the Soviet Union have issued a serious warning that Japan will take action in the Far East by April at the latest. Japan promised to send no less than thirty divisions
Regiment, twenty mixed brigades, and thirty independent mixed brigades are powerful forces participating in the battle against the Far East. You should understand the seriousness of the matter by now, right?"
An Yi nodded: "I now understand why the teacher is so pessimistic. The Far East has internal and external troubles, and the army is unstable. It is already very difficult to face Moscow's attack, and we still have to face the wolf-like Japanese. Even if it's me,
You will also feel at a loss!”
Lyushenkov forced a smile: "Not only the Japanese, but also the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai, who was supported by Soviet Russia, was also asked by the Kremlin to lead 100,000 Xinjiang troops into Kazakhstan to fight against us. Now the Far East is already a stormy ship.
It may sink at any time, how can I feel better under such circumstances?"
An Yi is also in a very heavy mood. If the Far Eastern Republic dies, then Mongolia, which has just been recovered, and Central Asia, which only exists on paper, will bear the pressure of the Soviet Union and Japan alone. Whether it can hold on will become a question.
Unknown number.
Probably sensing An Yi's doubts, Liushenkov introduced the countermeasures adopted by the Far East army and government:
"Since the Japanese army has opened up the transportation between North Korea, Manchuria and the coastal areas at the end of last year, once the war breaks out, the Japanese army can easily break through our defense in the Zhanggufeng area, march straight into Vladivostok, and create conditions for its naval landing.
Therefore, the fall of the coastal area is only a matter of time. What we need to consider now is that due to limited military strength, we can only choose one defensive focus in Moscow and Japan.
"If we choose to give up Siberia, then the Japanese will be blocked in the coastal area and unable to advance. The price is that all Siberia will be occupied by Moscow, and Mongolia will also face the threat of the Soviet Red Army; if we give up the Far East, then Moscow will be blocked in
We are also unable to advance in the Ural Mountains, and the consequence is that the Japanese army marches straight in, fighting all the way from the Far East to Siberia, and finally, together with Moscow, encircles our army in the Ural Mountains, but the price is that Siberia will fall into the hands of the Japanese."
An Yi nodded repeatedly. According to the population of the Far East of 13 million (excluding Siberia), it is not surprising that such a situation would occur. After all, Siberia and the Far East are too vast. The result of deploying defenses in two places will be that both places will be breached.
, the speed of collapse is even faster than focusing on defense.
"In our high-level internal meeting, many people supported both options. In the end, the comrades who supported the front line in the Ural Mountains won. Do you know why?"
Facing Lyushenkov's gaze, An Yi pondered for a moment, already having the answer in his heart, and answered calmly: "It should be for the safety of the more than 10 million people in the Far East, right? If Japan is a wolf, then Moscow is one
Lion, Mongolia, which is responsible for rescuing people, can still fight against wolves, but it is powerless against lions!
Moreover, compared to Moscow's murderous declaration of cutting off the grass and leaving no roots, the situation is more favorable for the Japanese to occupy the Far East and Siberia. If we take West Asia before that, there will be more room for maneuver...
But teacher, why don’t you consider retreating to Kazakhstan and making a comeback there?”
Lyushenkov said bitterly: "Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans. However, if we do not die, Stalin will not give up the attack on the Far Eastern Republic and the pursuit of the surviving people. We and our relatives will live in fear all our lives.
Among them. Instead of doing that, it is better to stay in the Ural region and fight to the death.
We think it is worth sacrificing those of us who must die to save the lives of the vast majority of people! Stalin must not only bribe and plant a spy beside us. He will only feel relieved when he sees our corpses in person! Therefore, we
We will decide to entrust our loved ones to you, because you are the only person we can trust!"
An Yi felt heavy and didn't know what to say. His eyes felt wet for a while.
Seeing An Yi's emotional expression, Liu Shenkov couldn't help but smile: "Why are you crying? In fact, we were already dead as early as August last year. At that time, almost none of our senior Far East executives were spared from the anti-rebellion list.
If we give it a try and live a few more months, what can we not look forward to?"
Having said this, Lyushenkov smiled: "An Yi, before all is lost, on behalf of the Far East government, we will sign an agreement with you to transfer all rights and interests in Siberia and the Far East on the grounds of fulfilling Comrade Lenin's promise.
Give it to you, so that you have the legal basis to seize the rights and interests of Siberia and the Far East from the Japanese. How about this pie being big enough? However, you must have the strength to fight for it, otherwise it will be just a piece of paper and useless!
"
An Yi felt sad in his heart and couldn't be happy no matter what. He looked at Liushenkov and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
