For Russia, Siberia is a colony, but this colony is a bit special, it is connected with the mainland.For a long time, the Russians have seized resources from here, exiled criminals, and even put nuclear waste in Siberia in later generations. Basically, this is Russia's big garbage dump.

But this "garbage dump" is related to the prosperity and decline of Russia. For the first time in hundreds of years, the Russians have encountered challenges, and Siberia is no longer safe.

Just half a day ago, China dispatched more than 60 bombers to bomb Omsk and Novosibirsk.This operation has been planned by China for a long time. During the bombing, napalm bombs were used for the first time.

The so-called napalm is a mixture of gasoline and other chemicals inside, mainly natural rubber.After this kind of bomb explodes, it can produce high-temperature flames, which are filled with jelly made of gasoline and other chemicals. When it explodes, it splashes around and emits a high temperature of about [-] degrees Celsius. It can also stick to other objects and burn for a long time. .

During World War II, the United States dropped countless incendiary bombs over Tokyo, completely turning the city into a cemetery.On the night of March 1945, 3, 9 B-334 planes flew directly from Guam to Tokyo, carrying out sweeping bombing in turn, dropping more than 29 tons of incendiary bombs, 2000 square kilometers of the city center were razed to the ground, and 41 buildings were burned. , A total of 26.7 people were killed and burned. The actual death toll may exceed 83793. In addition, 9 people were seriously injured and 10 million people were homeless. The killing effect was even more amazing than the Great Kanto Earthquake.

For Zhang Tinglan, who regards Japan as the enemy of life and death, he will naturally not let go of this efficient killing weapon.In fact, it is not too late for China to develop incendiary bombs. After obtaining the flamethrower technology from Germany, China has been doing corresponding research.

Early liquid fuels had a problem.That is, after spraying out, it is difficult to attach to the object, affecting the killing effect.After experimenting, the effect of using gelled gasoline is very good.After this discovery was reported, Zhang Tinglan ordered the troops to conduct research on incendiary bombs based on this.

As a result, the incendiary bomb was successfully manufactured, but there was another problem in front of us, that is, the price of natural rubber was very high, and large-scale application could not be realized.

The turning point came after the founding of Nanhua, although no one in this country has yet recognized it.But it does not hinder trade with China. A large amount of cheap rubber was sent back to China, and incendiary bombs were also produced in large quantities.

The big meal originally prepared for the Japanese unexpectedly fell on the Russians first.Dozens of Chinese bombers dropped tons of napalm over Omsk.

Immediately there was an astonishing effect, and the bomb exploded.Hot jelly-like gasoline splashed everywhere, as long as it got on the body.Even if it is a little bit.There can also be dire consequences.

These things are like lard, the more they are beaten, the more violent they are. If they lie on the ground and roll around, they will make their whole body covered in flames.Some people are in so much pain that they struggle desperately, only to throw the flames on the person next to them.cause a chain effect.

In fact, for those who are stained with incendiary bombs, the best relief is to kill them with one shot, which can save them a lot of suffering.Because there are a lot of additives in the incendiary bomb.For example, things like white phosphorus, on the one hand, are to enhance the power of burning, on the other hand, white phosphorus is also highly poisonous, at least if it touches it, even if it does not burn to death, it will be poisoned to death.

It was this terrible lethality that, when the incendiary bomb fell on the city of Omsk, it immediately caused a terrible fire. Houses were burned, various buildings were shrouded in it, and a large number of people were burned and burned to death.

The screams of struggling echoed constantly over Omsk, and everyone ran around in fear as if they had encountered the doomsday.

What's more terrible is that the Russians don't have any concept of fire prevention. Siberia has a lot of wood. The Russians all use the best larch wood for heating, and a lot of firewood is piled up at the door of many houses.

When these pine logs are burning, they crackle, not only will they emit a pine scent, but also drip grease, not to mention how prosperous the burning is.It's just that these usually most popular fuels have become life-threatening signs at this time. After the firewood is burned, more and more places in the city are engulfed by the fire. In the sea of ​​fire.

In fact, the train station, warehouse, barracks, government, post office and other places were most affected. These major buildings have all received special attention, and almost half of Omsk was shrouded in the fire.

Since this is an important transportation hub, the Russians hoarded a large amount of supplies here and prepared to transport them to the front line. As a result, at least two-thirds of these supplies were lost after the bombing.

This bombing was like a blow to the head, hitting the Russians hard on the head. Through the raging flames, they saw the cruelty and strength of China.

When the report was sent to Moscow, Stalin's hands and feet were cold, and he did not expect that China had such a powerful force.In Stalin's view, the defeat in the Far East at the beginning was mainly due to the Russian Civil War, which seriously depleted the country's strength, and it was defeated by the Chinese who were injured.

But now he understands that China has already moved ahead of Russia in terms of army building.Thinking of this, this hard piece of steel also felt a burst of fear.

At this time, someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly sent a secret report. It turned out that this secret report was obtained from Japan. It clearly stated that the Chinese government tried to invite Japan to jointly deal with Russia. In addition, Poland also willing to join in.

Seeing this, Stalin's heart was completely chilled. One China is already very troublesome. If Japan is added, the Far East may not be able to hold on.Moreover, Poland will join it, which makes Stalin even more furious.Anyway, Poland used to be part of Russia, and they were also white.I didn't expect to come here shamelessly and want to cooperate with China. It's hard to kill.

Stalin gritted his teeth. In addition to anger, Stalin also felt a bone-chilling cold. Poland's participation in it actually meant that Britain and France would also join.Maybe it will be another joint intervention in Russia. With Russia's current strength, it may win, but it will definitely be a miserable victory, which he does not want to see.

The top officials in Moscow gathered together again to discuss the situation at hand, and everyone knew that the situation was very bad.Yagoda, who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, said: "According to preliminary estimates, we lost more than 3000 million supplies in Omsk, and the Siberian Railway has also been affected. It will take at least a week to recover."

"What?" Stalin asked in surprise: "For such a long time, what should the soldiers in the Far East do? Without the railway, how will their supplies be sent?"

Yagoda lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Stalin's eyes, but he still said: "The Chinese used a new type of incendiary bomb, and the killing effect is astonishing. They can only do it if they don't continue to take action for a week. .And in the world, their air force will bomb us, and even the army will take action."

Stalin stared at Yagoda closely, and asked sharply: "Comrade Yagoda, do you mean that we have actually lost the ability to support the Far East battlefield?"

"Comrade Stalin, although I hate to admit it, the facts are as you said."

Stalin sank down, and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.Kamenev said suddenly: "Comrade Stalin, I suggest ordering Yegorov to withdraw immediately, and then concentrate our forces to fight the Chinese."

Hearing this, Stalin stood up abruptly, his pupils turned into needles, and panting, he asked, "Kamenev, do you mean to give up the Far East? Do you want to give up these lands that belong to Russia?"

"No, it's just..." Kamenev continued to defend himself.

Stalin waved his hand violently: "Stop talking, you and your companion Trotsky are traitors, you have become China's lackeys, want to seize the land of the Soviet Union, I will not let you succeed..."

Listening to Stalin's words, everyone present was silent for a moment, and they instinctively felt that another storm was coming...

Just after the Chinese Air Force bombed Omsk, private contacts between China and Russia began. The two sides fought and stopped. Finally, Gu Weijun and Molotov reached a truce agreement in Kulun.

According to the agreement, Russia recognized China's special interests in the Far Eastern Empire and did not seek to annex the Far Eastern Empire.At the same time, the two sides also delineated the border of Central Asia. They gave up the area to the east and south of Lake Balkhash that was seized by Tsarist Russia, a total of 44 square kilometers.In addition, based on geographical boundaries, China's territory has extended westward, reaching the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea.

In other words, Central Asia has been divided equally between China and Russia. Most of Kazakhstan is still in the hands of the Russians, but the southern part of Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan have all fallen to China. hands.

Although China did not win the entire Central Asia, with this agreement, China completely occupied the richest Amu Darya and Syr Darya River basins in Central Asia, and at the same time opened up the road to the Caspian Sea.

From the perspective of terrain, most of China's possessions are plateaus and mountains, while Russia's side is plains, but in fact the areas occupied by China are more conducive to defense.Moreover, after winning here, China directly borders Afghanistan and Iran, which is equivalent to opening up the road to South Asia and the Middle East, and the situation in western China is completely opened up.

The advantages of these strategies will not be brought into play until China is strong enough.But right now there are several benefits that are enough to make China choke.

In the area controlled by China, there are more than 1500 billion tons of coal, and the variety is complete, and it can even be directly used for steelmaking. In addition, there are also a large amount of copper, tungsten, uranium and other resources. There is no problem with the initial industrialization. According to the current valuation, these natural resources alone are worth tens of billions... (to be continued...)
