Western Siberia, Weiqing City, the capital of Western Han Dynasty. (-< >-Net.)
Under the cover of ice and snow, the huge city was silent. Although the Military Control Commission and various government departments had been established before, two armed police corps with eight fire squadrons, a security division formed by the B-type troops and
The troops of the two Southwest Allied Divisions still seemed too quiet compared to the second city of Western Siberia, which covers an area of more than fifty square kilometers.
After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the leaders of the Far Eastern Republic announced their annexation to the Soviet Union and moved more than nine million people to South China according to their personal wishes. The entire Ural and Western Siberia region declined rapidly.
As the Soviet Union retreated steadily on the battlefields of Eastern Europe and its territory quickly fell, the population of the Soviet-controlled areas dropped rapidly from 150 million at its peak to more than 60 million. If it had not been for the Far Eastern Republic's return of nearly 30 million people,
, there will be a terrible population shortage in the entire Soviet Union.
After entering the 1930s, years of continuous famine, the Great Rebellion that almost replaced the middle and lower levels of the Red Army, and the population losses caused by the war with the Far Eastern Republic, coupled with the population losses caused by Central Asia, Siberia, and the Far East after 38 years,
With the cession of other places, the Soviet Union's current actual control area in Europe is only more than 4 million square kilometers, and almost more than 5 million square kilometers and more than 90 million people have fallen under the control of the German army.
In the land east of Moscow to the Ural Mountains, less than half of the men between the ages of fourteen and forty-five have picked up guns. The Soviet armed forces currently number up to 15 million people, and the rest of the young adults and
Women, children, and the elderly enter the factory and, under the guidance of engineers and technicians, produce various strategic materials to support frontline operations.
Cities such as Kazan, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, Molotov, Gorky, and Batraki, which were once the focus of competition with the Far Eastern Republic, have become new industrial centers of the Soviet Union, capable of producing almost all products.
The standard weapons of the Soviet Army. In addition, Kuibyshev quietly became a tank city, Izhevsk became an aircraft city, Berezniki, Solikamsk, and Dzerzhinsk became petrochemical industry centers.
Cities such as Kirs, Omutninsk, Pavlov, Chusovoy, and Chelmoz became steel cities.
Due to the unexpected recovery of Moscow this month, industrial cities such as Shcherbakov, Yaroslavl, and Ivanov that were once seriously threatened by the German army have turned a corner. If Stalinnogorsk around Moscow is recovered at this time, picture
La, Kaluga, Podolsk, Kalinin and other cities, then the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield will be fundamentally reversed.
At the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries scheduled to be held in Huo Qubing City on January 2, Stalin hoped that An Yi would agree to provide the Soviet Union with two million tons of grain, five million sets of cotton-padded clothes, and weapons and equipment to arm forty divisions.
The funds were naturally the savings deposited in the South China National Bank after selling the desolate Western Siberia.
Also, although the current areas actually controlled by the Soviet Union still include large and medium-sized coal mining areas such as Kizer, Rososh and Gubaha, as well as Rudnychnyi, Ulyupinsk, Lipitsk, Vyksa
, iron mines in Kasimov and Omutninsk, but the annual steel output of six million tons was not enough to support the huge consumption on the front line. Stalin requested an additional order of four million tons of steel for military industry
Production.(-< >-网.)
As for An Yi's trip to Central Asia and Siberia, on the one hand, he held talks with Stalin, formally signed a territorial treaty between the two countries and demarcated the border, set up boundary markers and put up barbed wire on the border between the two countries, and completely resolved this issue that is very likely to affect
The long-standing problem in the relations between the two countries after the war. On the other hand, there is the need to deal with the aftermath of the three armies of the Southwest Allied Forces.
In the second half of 1938, Xiangxi, Qianxi and Yunnan jointly dispatched three armies to Central Asia, mainly for security and border guarding tasks. In the past few years, these three armies have been adopting a rotation system and constantly sending troops from home.
Deployed officers and soldiers to Central Asia and Siberia.
Unknowingly, the three southwest regions quietly and gradually squeezed An Jiajun's direct line forces away from the army.
In the agreement reached by Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen and An Yi, these three armies are basically composed of direct officers of the Anjia Army and will be returned to the Anjia Army intact. At the same time, the families of the officers and soldiers will also be properly
Resettlement, and if necessary, funding to assist in relocation to Nanhua territory.
An Yi came to Siberia this time to talk face to face with the officers and soldiers of the three armies, to appease the morale of the troops, boost morale, and at the same time read out the latest decision of the Central Military Commission.
Weiqing City is known as the "Kingdom of Lakes". The city is surrounded by large lakes in the east, west, north and south. Due to the special geological structure, these lakes are located in deep basins, usually reaching a depth of thirty to forty meters. They have extremely rich freshwater reserves.
The main source of urban drinking water and industrial water.
To the north of the city is the factory area of the Western Han Ordnance Corporation, which is where the former Chelyabinsk Arsenal of the Far Eastern Republic was located. The continuous factory buildings and workers’ residential areas are surrounded by high walls, accounting for almost the entire city.
One-third of the area, you can imagine how huge the scale is.
After arriving in Weiqing City, An Yi had a simple night's rest. Early the next morning, he inspected the ammunition factory, artillery shell factory, steel shell factory, fuse factory, rifle and machine gun factory, artillery factory, gunpowder and explosives factory, and detonators in the factory area.
As well as primer factory, gas mask factory, tractor factory, automobile factory, brass factory, steel factory, roller steel factory and other ancillary factories, iron and steel plants, coking plants and other factories with extremely complete categories.
Among them, most of the production workshops have started operation, and Chinese and Russian workers are busy producing. In a few deserted and sealed workshops, butter is still clearly visible on the installed production lines.
After Xiao Yimin walked around, the doubts in his mind grew bigger and bigger. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked Dr. Wen Sirui, a military industry expert sent by the Military Control Commission to accompany the tour:
"Wen Gong, look at the scale of these factories and production workshops. They are not any weaker than our large arsenals in Mongolia, Central Asia and other places. Why didn't the Soviet government, which is currently in extremely short supply of weapons and equipment, take over and organize production immediately? I
I think the output of just one factory in one month can meet the equipment needs of ten divisions!"
Wen Sirui smiled brightly. He pulled over a thin Caucasian old man in his fifties with golden curly hair and introduced:
"This is Professor Meleks, the former chief engineer of the Chelyabinsk Arsenal. I think he can tell the chairman the causes and consequences of this better than me."
An Yi quickly stepped forward, shook hands with Professor Meleks cordially, and said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect to see a selfless military expert here. An Yi is very honored. Now Chunxiang City, Tangcheng, Yaoting City
, Anxin City and other places, there are about 60,000 to 70,000 Russian scientists conducting scientific research for us, and like my junior wife and junior sister, they have all sworn in Nanhua citizenship."
Professor Meleks obviously knew about the relationship between An Yi and Liu Shenkov. He nodded in a neither humble nor condescending manner, pointed to the machinery and equipment in the factory, and said:
"The year before last, after the Republic canceled its independence and merged with the Soviet Union, and automatically chose the path it would take in the future in accordance with the will of the people, Chairman Lyushenkov ordered the sealing of the machinery and equipment of all factories and enterprises east of the Ural Mountains, and then led his troops to join the great
during the Patriotic War.
"Before Chairman Lyushenkov left, he told all our comrades who stayed behind that going to fight was fulfilling the duties and obligations of a Bolshevik warrior. If they could gain the recognition of Comrade Stalin and reintegrate into the core leadership of the Soviet Union, they would
They will take the initiative to tell the truth. If they are persecuted and killed, and the decline of the great Soviet Union is inevitable, then those of us who are left behind can decide on our own where these things belong.
"Chairman Lyushenkov's premonition was correct. They were indeed treated unfairly. In the past two years, almost all the senior generals of our Far Eastern Republic were killed on the battlefield, while Stalin's direct generals were unscathed. Where can there be such a situation in the world?
What a coincidence? The previously restored Soviet government in Chelyabinsk also sent people to inspect the situation of the arsenal. They saw the factory buildings covered with spider webs and the rusty old production lines, and they didn't even want to take another look.
No, I just walked away. I heard that Sverdlovsk in the north, oh, the city of Yonzen, is in a similar situation... Tanks, aircraft and large-scale tanks in Nizhny Tagil, Kirovgrad and other places
The arsenal has been preserved.
"From the beginning to the end, the information Moscow received was that these mechanical equipment, together with more than nine million people, were given to Chairman Lyushenkov's disciple An Yi as the price of resettling those people, from Moscow to the local Soviet
Government officials simply don't realize that these things are actually right under their noses.
"Those self-proclaimed orthodox officials beat and scolded those of us who were left over from the Far Eastern Republic at every turn, and treated us like livestock. We all hated them... Fortunately, under the slogan "Everything is for the front line," the military and political officials assigned here
Not much, otherwise it will be difficult to keep the secret."
An Yi was greatly moved: "Teacher Liushenkov really has nothing to say to me as a student. If he hadn't greatly helped us build Mongolia's steel and military industry system, and sent troops to clear the obstacles in Central Asia, we would have been
With a solid development base, how could there be all this in Nanhua today? Unfortunately, although they knew there would be danger, the teacher and his comrades still chose to shed their last drop of blood for the country and the nation, which made me a lot of gains.
Some students are unable to fulfill their filial piety, which makes people lament that fate is playing tricks on people.
"Professor Meleks, thank you and your comrades for your outstanding contributions to us. You are a heroic model for our military-industrial enterprises!"
Professor Melex shook his head repeatedly:
"I really don't deserve such praise! I also can't bear to see those people in Moscow messing up. If they hadn't specially punished people, with the strength of our Far East Red Army, how would we have been driven out of Moscow in despair? This is all Stalin's borrowing from the Germans
Use your own hands to eradicate dissidents!"
An Yi knew, however, that the gap between the Soviet Union and Germany was indeed very large. If Hitler had not suffered from pinkeye and madness this time, and had to look to Shu, he would never have been driven out again in despair after occupying most of Moscow.
.However, he naturally would not explain it to Professor Meleks, an old Bolshevik. He repeatedly praised Professor Meleks for his outstanding contributions, and announced in public that he would spend 500,000 yuan in special funds to reward all those who "protect state-owned assets."
people.
Returning to the military compound built on the lakeside in the southwest of the city, Shen Fengdao softly informed that the Southwest Allied Generals Zeng Changhe, Liu Yifang, Li Yunfeng, Zhong Zhiyuan, Xia Weiyin, Wei Yangxin, Lu Ping, Liu Qingrong, and Shi Danping had been stationed in various parts of Siberia. , Li Dingfang, Wu Yijiang and others have rushed back by train or plane and are already waiting in the conference room.
An Yi strode into the conference room, came to the center of the rostrum, and solemnly saluted these old subordinates who had left the Anjiajun group for at least fourteen years, which immediately caused a burst of crying.
An Yi's eyes were also red, and he choked up and said: "I, An Yi, have seen the selfless contributions of the brothers over the years and kept them in my heart. In the past, Xiangxi, Qianxi and Yunnan were all our allies, and they needed some of us. People make sacrifices to serve as a bridge of communication between us.
"In fact, over the years, Southwest has been firmly united, and others have been able to prevent others from entering. Economic and trade cooperation has also been carried out vigorously and achieved unimaginable results. Brothers, without the original alliance, we would not have the Anjia Army today. Brilliant, without this vast territory, rich products, and developed industry, New China! From this point of view, you have made great contributions, and I, An Yi, am grateful to you!
"Of course, times have changed, it's going to rain, and my mother is getting married. We can't force others. Let's get together and relax. We don't want what belongs to others, but if it belongs to us, no one else can take advantage of it. This time we separate, I I just emphasized one point: how much these industries are worth now, how much it costs to train workers, and other invisible values, every penny or more must be settled to us...
"Brothers, you can't believe it. The three places are now contacting Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanxi and Guangdong consortiums with great fanfare. Under the supervision of our economic experts, after a month of property rights stripping and property sales, a total of US$500 million worth of gold and silver has been obtained. Our treasury can hardly hold it anymore... He is so rich!"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.
An Yi was also laughing, and after laughing he continued:
"To be honest, it's not a pity to abandon those industries. After the Americans lost South America, Canada and the western part of the country, they have a serious shortage of resources. Nearly half of the factories and companies are in a semi-stop state. Many consortiums cannot hold on and start to deal with production lines. I will use the gold and silver worth 500 million U.S. dollars to exchange them for Chinese dollars of equivalent value to buy them. The machine tools and production lines I bought will be enough to upgrade our industry!
"Now we have Western Siberia. This place looks barren, but there are treasures buried underground. The Ural Mountains are full of high-quality iron ore and coal mines. There is oil under the Western Siberian wasteland. Soon, we will produce The output value of things will be more than half of what we throw away!
"Brothers, don't be discouraged. Don't think that other brothers have made progress over the years, but you are just messing around in the same place... Your contribution is no worse than others. If nothing else, you have created wealth worth US$500 million for us. It has laid a solid foundation for our Anjia Army to have today's lofty status in the world! Therefore, each of you is a big hero in my heart!"
Zeng Changhe, Liu Yifang and others had proud smiles on their faces. Their original thoughts of being aggrieved and unwilling to wait disappeared at this moment.
An Yi looked around the generals, suddenly stood up, took out a document, and read aloud: "Central Military Commission Order No. 28 of 1942——"
When all the generals heard this, they immediately stood up, standing straight and looking at An Yi intently.
An Yi nodded and continued:
"In order to commend the selfless and outstanding contributions of the soldiers of the Southwest Allied Forces, the Military Commission has specially organized the Fourth and Fifth Guards Armies on the basis of the three armies of the Southwest Allied Forces.
"The Fourth Guards Group Army, commander Zeng Changhe, political commissar Liu Yifang, deputy commander Li Yunfeng, chief of staff Zhong Zhiyuan, all of the above personnel were awarded the rank of Lieutenant General An Jiajun... The Fifth Guards Group Army, commander Wei Yangxin, political commissar Lu Ping, deputy
Commander Li Dingfang, Chief of Staff Liu Qingrong, and the above personnel are all awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the Anjia Army..."
After An Yi read out the appointments of division-level cadres, he then added:
"The Guards Group Army is the trump card force directly under the Central Military Commission, which means blood and loyalty, the flag is directed, and it is invincible and invincible... The fourth and fifth group armies are all composed of five armored divisions, and each armored division is in principle
It was organized into a tank regiment, two armored infantry regiments, an armored artillery regiment and three battalions of reconnaissance, engineers and anti-aircraft artillery directly under the division. The organization was the same as the German armored division..."
As soon as An Yi finished speaking, there was silence in the conference room, and then there was warm applause. All the generals present were very excited. After waiting for many years, they finally waited for the day of return, and they were treated with high standards by the organization.
What could be more exciting and happy than this?
