There was silence in Shuangcheng at night. The lively look of the evening was gone. This place was a newly occupied area and a strict curfew was implemented. There were only groups of Ming troops patrolling the streets with live ammunition, and the pace was orderly and reverberating.
In the empty streets.
Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shigege live in a sanatorium on the outskirts of Shuangchengzi. This sanatorium used to be accessible only to party and government cadres of sufficient rank. Now that the Ming army has taken over the place, it has not been disposed of. It will probably be sold to individuals next.
, and then open to the public for operation. Anyone can stay and enjoy it as long as they spend money.
As the front advances, places like Shuangchengzi will soon become the rear area. Economic transformation of the occupied areas will soon be carried out. Land and livestock will be distributed to individuals, and houses will be distributed to individuals. Free buying and selling will be allowed, except
Taxes are paid, and all harvests belong to the residents themselves. Nowadays, state-owned and collective pastures, forest farms, shops, and factories are all auctioned to individual operators... Both Ming and Russian people can participate in the auction...
Of course, it was obvious that they were all going to be sold to the Ming Dynasty. No Russian could afford that much money. However, these measures were enough to double the productivity of the occupied areas in a short period of time, and the economy took off quickly.
In addition to economic, political and cultural reforms have also been carried out rapidly. Some Belarusian newspapers that had been established in the Ming Dynasty for a long time were now brought to the newly occupied Soviet lands by the Ming army for free distribution. At the same time, there were many Ming editors
The printed leaflets, pamphlets, and pictorials tried to provide these Soviet residents with "evil remedies" in the shortest possible time, making them understand what they had lost and what they had gained.
There are still many things to do in the follow-up, generally speaking, it is "entering information". No matter what information, I don't care about selecting it carefully. Anyway, I want to transfer as much external information as possible into the original "iron can".
Let the Soviet people accept information from all aspects, slowly form their own thinking, and understand what is right and what is wrong. A large number of banned books, newspapers, pictorials, radio broadcasts in the Soviet Union... along with the tanks of the Ming Army
, also poured in like a tide.
Not only can you "enter" freely, but you can also "exit" freely. During the former Soviet Union, citizens could not go abroad freely. Let alone going abroad, they needed a "domestic passport" even to travel within the country. The entire Soviet Union was like a big prison, or like
A large labor camp. Now wherever the Ming army attacks, it is announced that the residents there can travel freely, go abroad, go to the Ming Dynasty, and if they want, they can also run to the Soviet-controlled areas without stopping them. Everyone can
Choose with your feet.
In the words of Zhu Yourong’s speech after the war started:
"Yes, Mr. Stalin, we are not perfect, and we also have many problems. You also have many advantages, and there are many things worth learning from us. But the difference between us is: we allow imperfections and problems to be pointed out; we
Allow dissatisfaction; we will not decide for the people what they should know and what they should not know; we will never imprison the people with a barbed wire fence - and you are just the opposite."
The next day, October 10, Xiang Xiaoqiang and his party had breakfast and continued driving southeast, getting closer and closer to the Soviet-controlled area of Vladivostok. There were more and more planes in the sky, and there were also troops, heavy equipment, and tanks on the road.
Everywhere you look, you can see the atmosphere of a front line.
The road became more and more bumpy, and there were more and more bomb craters on both sides. Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the map in the car and knew that he had now reached Razdolnoye. It was still 70 kilometers away from Vladivostok, but only 20 kilometers away from the Soviet-controlled area.
About.
Because from here you have to go about 30 kilometers south to the bay. Vladivostok is at the southern end of the Amur Peninsula that extends out of the bay. To get to the sea, you have to go more than 40 kilometers east to bypass the bay, enter the Amur Peninsula, and then two kilometers south.
It took more than ten kilometers to reach Vladivostok.
Once here, it will be difficult for the Ming army to advance further south. Although it is only 20 kilometers from the seaside, these 20 kilometers are extremely important to the Soviet army. The Razdolinaya River enters the sea from here, and Vladivostok
city waterworks
It is here that the water of the Razdolinaya River is purified for the use of the huge Vladivostok. As long as the Ming army breaks through these more than 20 kilometers south, hits the seaside, and seizes the water plant, cutting off the water source, Vladivostok will direct
The sun is broken.
Nowadays, a large number of planes bomb the water plant every day. But light bombing is useless. At most, it will destroy the pool and purification equipment in the plant. At most, it will make the water plant lose its "purification" function, but it will not stop the river water from being pumped directly to Vladivostok.
.
Today it was Wu Yanbin’s turn to drive. Wu Yanbin held the steering wheel and said nervously while driving bumpily:
"Sir... Your Highness Princess, we can't go any further... If we go any further, your safety will be..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a powerful howl in the sky, followed by a tremor, and the glass on the left side of the cab was cracked. Wu Yanbin slammed on the brakes, and the three people threw themselves on the driver's seat. Immediately,
There was a "ding-dong" sound, and a large amount of soil and rocks fell from the sky and hit the roof of the truck.
The three of them were so shocked that they crawled back to their seats with pale faces. Wu Yanbin glanced outside and saw a huge crater a hundred meters away on the left, with Ming soldiers lying on the ground around him. Without saying a word, he opened the car door.
Jumped down and shouted:
"Your Highness, get out of the car quickly!"
Fourteenth Gege on the right also quickly opened the door, jumped out, then grabbed Xiang Xiaoqiang, pulled him to run a few steps to the roadside, and pushed him down in the farmland.
I don't know how much time passed - maybe less than ten seconds. The laughter of Ming officers and soldiers gradually came from around, and the atmosphere became relaxed again. Shi Shigege and Xiang Xiaoqiang slowly raised their faces, and then half-knelt down.
, looking around, I saw that everything around me seemed to be back to normal. The vehicles and tanks of the Ming army continued to drive, those who directed traffic continued to direct traffic, and those who carried things continued to carry things.
Wu Yanbin ran over in shock, and was relieved when he saw that Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shi Gege were fine. At this time, dozens of guards jumped out of the cars behind them and ran around to greet Xiang Xiaoqiang and Shi Shi.
Four grids.
Xiang Xiaoqiang patted his chest and gasped for air, his ears still buzzing slightly.
"What's going on..." His face was still very pale, "shelling?... No, it couldn't be shelling from such a distance... bombing?"
He immediately raised his head and scanned the sky, only to see that except for a few Ming army aircraft flying south, there was no sign of any air combat. He took another look at the giant crater in the distance - it was really breathtaking, as if
Like a meteorite crater. A bomb of this size cannot be carried by a single-engine bomber. There are no large twin-engine aircraft in the sky.
Fourteenth Princess also panted and said:
"Xiaoqiang... don't look, it's a train gun. You forgot, there are several train guns in Vladivostok Fortress. This should be fired from twenty or thirty kilometers away. It's not Vladivostok Fortress, it's just the Amur Peninsula
The mountain fortress group at the northern end.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang almost became angry:
"Train gun? How come a target as big as a train gun is still left after we have been bombing it for so long? Why don't we concentrate our efforts to destroy it?"
Fourteen Gege is angry and funny:
"Do you think the fortresses in Vladivostok are vegetarian? The Yangtze River Defense Line fortresses in Nanming have such a big target for artillery. Why haven't Qing aircraft destroyed them?"
"Ah?...This..."
"The train guns in Vladivostok are usually hidden in the tunnels and are only fired when they are fired!"
