Chapter 2124 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
The city of Yevlach in the central region of Azerbaijan is located on the main railway line that runs through Transcaucasus Baku-Tbilisi-Batumi and the port of Sukhumi.
Railways intersect, and the Kura River also has an inland navigation capacity of 1,000 tons from Yevlach to the sea outlet Baku Council City, making it an important transportation hub.
An Yi spent three days visiting each division of the Fourth Mountain Group Army, condolences to the officers and soldiers, announced the list of meritorious and promoted personnel, and at the same time learned about the real situation in the Transcaucasus region.
The Caucasus includes the autonomous republics and republican provinces of Dagestan, Chechnya, North Ossetia, Kabardino, and Olkesk in the North Caucasus, as well as the three union republics of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the Transcaucasus. There are dozens of ethnic groups in total.
, there are sharp contradictions among various ethnic groups in terms of living habits, religious beliefs, ideologies, etc.
Ethnic issues often have complex historical backgrounds, but they are usually transformed into ethnic crises when induced by other factors. These factors include politics, economy, religion, international environment and many other aspects. Under certain conditions, ethnic conflicts may be concealed
, or even be submerged and resolved in the long river of history. But in another situation, it may suddenly erupt and become a disaster for the country and even mankind. This is the current situation in the Caucasus.
At the beginning of the 18th century, Russia became increasingly powerful after Peter the Great's reform and began to seek land in the Caucasus. After encountering strong resistance from various ethnic groups, it began a war with the Caucasus that lasted for hundreds of years. Until the 1950s,
Only then did the Tsar establish his dominance in the Caucasus.
Before and after the founding of the Soviet Union, Lenin fully realized the importance of ethnic issues to the Soviet regime and published dozens of articles on ethnic issues throughout his life. He also formulated a series of policies that were conducive to national reconciliation and unity, making ethnic groups in various regions of the Soviet Union
The problem has been alleviated to a certain extent.
During the implementation of the Soviet Union's First and Second Five-Year Plans, the spread of famine caused by the collectivization policy and the expansion of intra-party purges triggered activities against the Soviet regime in the Caucasus, resulting in the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) carrying out executions on farmers and herdsmen in the region.
The bloody massacres and repressive policies further alienated the local people from the Soviet Union.
After the German army occupied the Caucasus, it made full use of the region's hatred of Soviet Russia and promised to give it full autonomy, thus gaining support from the local people. In the region, organizations such as the "Azerbaijan Socialist Party" and the "Georgian Autonomous Union" appeared.
Political parties and organizations such as the "Special Party of Caucasus Brothers" and the "Muslim Brothers" have experienced an unprecedented expansion of the national independent consciousness that has been suppressed by Soviet Russia for many years.
Before the Anjia Army moved north and the German troops withdrew from the Transcaucasus, the Germans hurriedly declared the independence of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia, then left a large amount of weapons and ammunition, leaving all the trouble to the Anjia Army, and then hurriedly withdrew to the northern Caucasus.
The situation in the Caucasus is extremely complex.
From the perspective of historical origins, the Islamic world once had a glory no less than that of the Roman Empire. In the eighth century AD, the Arabs defeated the powerful Tang Empire in the East at the Battle of Hengrus in Tashkent, Central Asia, and its power reached as far as the Pamir Plateau.
In the fifteenth century, Muhammad II captured Constantinople and destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire in one fell swoop. During this period, Islam was introduced to the Caucasus and began to civilize the people on this land, playing a role in uniting tribes and maintaining
The role of peace and spreading culture.
However, once religious fanaticism is linked to a certain ideology and becomes the core of military and political movements, it will lead to the emergence of strategies and tactics that condone violent forms. Such strategies can directly lead to seizing state power and establishing a totalitarian state that combines religion and politics.
rule.
Religious people often adopt simple revenge systems that were often used in the early stages of social development. For example, the punishment for murder committed by members of another family, clan, or even nation is to perform the same cruel behavior on each other. From this begins the endless family, clan
, a bloody feud between nations.
Social relations are very firmly linked to mutual behaviors. A simple murder may trigger an endless series of related reactions. The death of a member of this nation must be settled by the death of a member of that nation. Therefore.
, once blood revenge occurs, it is difficult to end.
Although mankind has gone through a long historical process of assigning collective blood revenge and mutual attacks to individual responsibility, traces of tribal revenge have always remained in international relations at all times, especially between the dominant ethnic groups and ethnic minorities.
The endless revenge mode is still there.
Terrorist attacks caused by various ethnic groups in Yugoslavia and separatism in the Caucasus region in another time and space originated from this.
After the Anjia Army stationed in the Caucasus, the Chinese nation replaced the local ethnic groups and became the dominant ethnic group. As a result, the local people secretly worked together to propagate national independence, and on the other hand, the Anjia Army's missile attacks on Baku, Batumi and other places brought serious consequences to the local people.
They exaggerate the huge harm that has come and believe that the Chinese government and army are the enemies of all ethnic groups in the Caucasus, calling on everyone to unite and expel the Chinese.
In addition, due to the prevalence of pan-Islamic movements in the early twentieth century, after the collapse of the Soviet regime in the region, many emerging political parties and tribal leaders publicly called for the restoration of past heritage and advocated the full legalization of traditional social institutions, such as Sharia courts, elders
Systems such as society and blood revenge. Islamic factors, as a manifestation of religious consciousness, have become another cause of tension in the region.
It is precisely because of various complicated relationships that the Anjiajun's rule in the Caucasus has been seriously challenged from the beginning.
On March 8, three suicide bombers drove a truck full of bombs and rushed towards a military camp in the oil town of Ptah. Although the guards on duty shot to stop them after discovering them, the bombs in the car were still there.
It was detonated about 10 meters away from the military camp. The huge explosion energy completely destroyed the walls, sentry boxes and gates. The bomb blasted a large crater ten meters in diameter and five meters deep in the ground, killing six officers and soldiers.
On March 15, in a village near Salyanny, more than 300 villagers gathered to listen to the land reform working group of the Military Control Commission promote the new policy of allocating farmland to households. A suicide attacker detonated a Tibetan bomb.
The bomb on his body killed fifteen people and injured more than ninety people, including four cadres from the pro-democracy brigade transferred from Central Asia.
On March 24, at 7:48 in the morning, on the highway west of Baku, a bus carrying 12 pilots and maintenance personnel was rushing to the Sulamhany Military Airport in the southeast. Suddenly, there was a sound on the roadside.
A woman appeared. She said that her father was critically ill and she needed to get to her home in a fishing village in the eastern part of the peninsula as soon as possible.
Considering the relationship with the local people, the driver stopped the car and opened the door. However, the people in the car soon discovered that the woman who got on the car had something hidden in her waist. When they were about to search, the woman ignited the gun on her waist.
The bomb. Because the explosion occurred directly inside the car, the casualties were particularly heavy, killing a total of thirteen people, including five valuable pilots.
On the 6th of this month, a train traveling from Central Asia rolled over when it was traveling to the east of Tbilisi because terrorists planted landmines under the railway. This incident caused a total of 26 casualties.
People died. More than a hundred people were injured, and a large amount of military supplies were damaged.
Just two days before An Yi arrived, a car explosion occurred at the Batumi Port Terminal, killing three people and injuring nine others. The explosion was caused by two ethnic extremists who drove a disguised cargo truck.
Rush towards a company-level army stationed at the dock
At the camp camp, despite the warning of the guards to shoot in the air, they broke into the railings and entered the military building, detonating the bomb. Fortunately, the company happened to be on duty in the northern town of Kobuleti on that day, and there were only a few officers and soldiers left in the barracks, otherwise it would have caused
The casualties will be even more severe.
At nine-thirty in the morning, a convoy protected by six tanks and twelve armored fighting vehicles drove towards the city of Yevlach in the west. An Yi was listening intently on one of the bulletproof off-road vehicles.
"According to our CIA investigation, German and Soviet agents are very active in the area. The Germans rely on the weapons they promised to give to the people in the area. At the same time, the weapons and equipment they provide are also urgently needed by various extremist organizations. The Soviet Union
People have never given up on their love for Gao
The control of the Caucasus region has led some of the rebel forces through the underground party. However, we are too rigid in the situation and cannot let go, and there is no way to restrict the actions of the Caucasians! I suggest that in troubled times, heavy laws are used, and there is no way to back them up without bloody violence.
Completely clean up the chaos in the area."
Major Tao Zichen, the head of the CIA's Caucasus Division who was riding in the same car as An Yi, fully elaborated on his views on the Caucasus issue.
"According to you, do we have to implement the concentration camp system of the Germans and the 'group tribe' policy of the Japanese here? Have you considered how the world will view us?" An Yi asked seriously.
“In extraordinary times, you can definitely give it a try!”
Tao Zichen was not afraid, and faced An Yi's gaze and said: "Otherwise, we cannot collect the weapons scattered among the people and completely eliminate security risks!"
Lieutenant General Liu Hao, who was ordered to rush to the Caucasus region to take charge of intelligence work, said: "Although our ultimate goal is to add the Caucasus to Persia after the war and silence the nationalists in Persia.
By maintaining a strategic buffer zone between us and the Soviets or Germans to the north, while draining Persian manpower and material resources from within, we could also continue to exploit the region's oil and coal resources through control of the Persian royal family and government.
"However, before that, it is very necessary to maintain the stability of the Caucasus as much as possible! The chairman requested to resettle a large number of Slavs in the Caucasus, but the contradiction between local landowners and foreign immigrants cannot be reconciled at all, even though the Transcaucasus is only
There are only more than four million people, and according to the
The land resources and rich mineral deposits in this area can fully meet the survival of 20 million people. If we want to move the Slavs here, we must suppress the Caucasus natives and limit their force until the population of outsiders and locals has reached a balance.
, it’s not too late for us to slowly relax controls!”
"Let me think about it again——"
An Yi frowned and looked out the window involuntarily.
"boom--"
A huge explosion sounded and the convoy stopped immediately.
Shen Fengdao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, paid careful attention to the left and right sides and found that there was no danger. Then he cautiously opened the door and got out of the car. He quickly came back and reported: "Terrorists have laid landmines on the road. The car that opened the way for us The armored personnel carrier was blasted. Two of the twelve officers and soldiers in the vehicle died. Four were seriously injured, and the rest were also injured! After a simple investigation by the engineers, no other landmines were found."
An Yi was immediately furious. The resentment he had accumulated during his inspection in the Transcaucasus in the past few days finally broke out. He smiled coldly: "That's it, that's all. Originally, I thought peace was the best, but now it seems that the trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping!" Let’s go, let’s talk about it when we get to Yevlach City, some things must be done!”
...
Hainan Island, Dongjiang area. The headquarters of the Fifth Division of the Imperial Association Army.
Hou Weizhong, the commander of the Fifth Division, was from Baoding, Hebei Province. He was the cousin of Hou Wuliang, the chief financial officer of the Wang Puppet regime and the president of the Central Bank.
On the surface, Hou Weizhong was a die-hard traitor. Whether in North China or in Hainan now, he was very popular among Japanese military generals and dignitaries, and had a wide circle of friends. The Japanese saw Hou Wuliang's face and basically responded to his requests. But secretly, Hou Weizhong is an important chess piece laid out by Hou Wuliang, director of the Intelligence Division of the Central Intelligence Agency, and an important general in the Anjiajun intelligence system. This time, the coordination work of the Air Force paratroopers fell on his shoulders.
Chief of Staff Zhang Baisui, a native of Jinan, was a gangster recruited by the Japanese in the Jiaodong area in the past two years. On the surface, he had nothing to do with Hou Weizhong. He was a chess piece used by the Japanese to contain Hou Weizhong and prevent his family from becoming dominant. But in fact, Zhang Baisui joined the Anjia Army as early as the Second Northern Expedition. He was a top student who graduated from the first intelligence major of Nanchang Military Academy and Southwest Institute of Political Science. Around 36 years ago, he sneaked into the Jiaodong area and accepted the advice of Qingdao Station Chief Xu Boqian. Direct leader. After the July 7th Incident, he led a bandit team of more than 100 people to a crowd of 5,000 people, with an astonishing momentum.
The Anti-Japanese War entered a stalemate, and the Japanese tried their best to recruit bandit armed forces in North China and Shandong. In February 1941, Zhang Baisui was ordered to accept the Japanese recruitment conditions and became the commander of the Jiaodong Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. After two years, the army He was almost beaten to death by the Japanese. After retreating to Hainan, he was directly assigned to the Fifth Division as Chief of Staff.
No one expected that under the guidance of their superiors, both Zhang Baisui and Hou Weizhong knew each other's identity. It was like a gang of two heroes. With the help of military and political cadres sent by the CIA, they were quickly eliminated. He eliminated the real traitor in the Fifth Division, unified his thinking, and purified the team.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, news that Japanese military stations and important facilities across Hainan Island were continuously attacked by missiles and air raids, causing heavy losses, came continuously through the radio station. Hou Weizhong and Zhang Baisui gathered in front of the map, talking happily while whispering. Discussing the situation of the war.
"Report!"
You Yanan, chief of the communications section and also an intelligence officer for the Anjia Army, strode into the room, handed Hou Weizhong a telegram, and then turned and left.
"What!?"
After reading the telegram, Hou Weizhong showed a strange look on his face. Zhang Baisui took the telegram, read it carefully, and after a while burst into laughter:
"The dignified lieutenant general commander died in such a helter-skelter and worthless way. I guess Takahashi Tagaji will die with his eyes open! Now, in just one morning, the 57th Army, which is the absolute main force of the Japanese army in Hainan,
Three lieutenant generals died in one breath, including a corps commander, two division commanders, and a lieutenant general who survived the rescue, but was no longer able to command the battle.
"Wonderful, this time before the ground troops from both sides met, the Japanese suffered a heavy loss. Our army's victory is determined!"
Hou Weizhong stroked his chin: "I estimate that Uchiyama Eitaro is in chaos at this time, and he must have many concerns when deploying troops and generals. No one can guarantee whether the newly promoted generals will follow in Takahashi's footsteps. Shoushan (Character: Zhang Baisui)
)Brother, do you think we can send a report to our superiors and ask the main force to launch a landing operation in advance?"
"inappropriate!"
Zhang Baisui shook his head: "Although the Japanese army's command level was severely damaged, the strength of the Japanese army along the coast has not been weakened much by relying on solid fortifications and barriers! If we launch a strong attack, the sacrifice will still be huge! Our task is to meet the paratroopers.
Arrive, and then after the forward landing battle is launched, attack the Japanese army from behind, cooperate inside and outside, and completely disrupt the deployment of Japanese troops. The price you need to pay will be much smaller at that time!"
Hou Weizhong asked again: "Can you request to advance the paratroopers' airdrop date from tomorrow night to tonight? In this way, we can start tomorrow night, and we will save a day of anxious waiting."
Zhang Baisui pondered for a moment: "You can make suggestions, but it is unlikely that they will be passed. After all, sea, land and air operations are coordinated, and any changes in the local battlefield may affect the overall situation."
Hou Weizhong thought about it carefully and waved his hands in frustration: "That's it, that's all, I'm too impatient. We only need to do our own work now, control the roads and key passes in the surrounding areas of Lingao, so that we can wait until the real
When the test comes, we should not hold back the main force, this is what we should do!"
