Years of the Republic of China 1913

The war between the Soviet government and the orthodox government of the Russian Empire continued. Denikin's department escaped through many twists and turns, recuperated near Central Asia, and hurriedly recruited and trained manpower.After defeating Denikin, the Red Army was so powerful that it swallowed up the entire Caucasus region. So far, the elite regions of Russia and Europe have all fallen into the hands of the Soviet regime.

Next, according to the order of the Soviet Central Committee, a vigorous "class revolution" was carried out in the controlled area. A large number of industrial owners, bankers, nobles, and even small business owners were all overthrown as class objects, and those with minor charges were arrested and imprisoned. There are many people who have been convicted of serious crimes and even suppressed without trial in the name of revolution.This massive "class revolution" quickly swept through the entire Soviet area. Because of this, the number of "class enemies" who fled rose sharply. In the first month alone, nearly 30 people fled the entire Soviet area. The related personnel fled to various European countries through channels, and most of them took the same journey as Kolchak who traveled to the Far East.This number rose to 120 million after half a month, and then dropped to a few thousand in the third month.This is not because there were too many people fleeing, and the Soviet government ordered the suspension of the revolution, but with the rapid development of the revolution, all the people except those who escaped were imprisoned or directly suppressed, and the only ones left Belonging to the category of the "proletariat" who are the most reliable and most representative of revolutionaries.

After nearly half a year of development, with the support of the Chinese government and the American consortium, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire has finally passed the most difficult period.The reconstruction of the Central Bank of the Russian Empire, coupled with the issuance of new ruble currency and the underwriting of imperial bonds by Chinese and Americans, greatly improved the overall government finances.

So far, the orthodox government of the entire Russian Empire has completely got rid of the situation of a grassroots team and gradually transformed into a regular government.Coupled with the arrival of a large number of Kolchak's personnel.The military strength of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire has also been enhanced. Several armies equipped with Chinese-style weapons have been established. Of course, the most powerful military force of the entire government is still held by the Minister of Internal Affairs and the commander of the Vladivostok Garrison District. In the hands of General Alexander Andre Victor, that is, in the hands of Zhang Zongchang.

As the dispatched army, Shang Zhen also completed his mission after Kolchak arrived in the Far East. According to Fang Zida's request, he retreated to Mongolia and stationed there, one outside and one inside with Zhang Zongchang.One west and one east echo each other.After formally designing the military region, Fang Zida directly placed Shang Zhen as the commander of the Mongolian military region. Although Shang Zhen is not as senior as Lu Jianzhang, Feng Guozhang and others in terms of qualifications, because the Mongolian military region is located in a remote location, the scale is smaller than other major military regions. So the appointment was easily approved.

After half a year of hard work, the orthodox government of the Russian Empire now has an official army of 27 (excluding Denikin’s troops), and the navy has a Far East fleet (there are few large and small ships, and the combat effectiveness is not strong due to lack of maintenance and aging ships) .From the point of view of local power.This is already a force that cannot be ignored, but compared with the whole of Russia, it looks extremely shabby.

You must know that when Europe went to war, the entire Tsarist Russia had the largest army in the world, with tens of millions of troops, but now the Red Army that controls the Soviet regime in Europe has nearly one million people, and a powerful army Compared with its opponents, the Wehrmacht of the Orthodox government of the Russian Empire is extremely weak.

Develop military power.was one of the first problems of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, although the government's finances improved after the establishment of the central bank.Now the orthodox government of the Russian Empire can say that it is not short of money, and the supply of weapons from China is also no problem. With Fang Zida's idea, he can't wait to dump the weapons to Lao Maozi desperately. You must know that this is a waste of money!

The key is the population issue. The Far East is sparsely populated, even if there are tens of 10 people brought by Kolchak.However, the population base of the whole area is not large. Lao Maozi no longer values ​​the quality of soldiers but only the quantity. Without the support of a huge population, they cannot form more troops.

Therefore, when a large number of people fled from Europe came from the West.The orthodox government of the Russian Empire was ecstatic.With the addition of nearly 200 million people, the population in the Far East can be improved, and the plan to form troops can be implemented smoothly.

But at this time, a reminder came from China. According to the "goodwill reminder" from the Chinese Intelligence Bureau, among the people who fled to the Far East, there were probably Soviet elements who confused them. I hope the orthodox government of the Russian Empire will pay attention.

This news frightened the people of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire. Although some people asked whether it was too sensitive for the Chinese to alarmist, most people thought it was very possible after careful consideration.When the Soviet regime was unable to concentrate its forces to attack the Far East for a while, it sent a large number of people to confuse and lurk among the fleeing crowd, and then suddenly launched a so-called "revolution" in an appropriate period of time, which would give the already fragile orthodox government of the Russian Empire a serious blow. If it is a serious blow, the hope of revitalizing Russia will be wiped out, and even these people will fall into a situation where there is no redemption.

As a result, from the empress down to the members of the ordinary government, they were surprised and confused by the upcoming compatriots. Therefore, after careful consideration, the empress decided to temporarily postpone the plan to form a new army, and first use a period of time to resettle and verify the arrival of the people. Make a decision after the situation to avoid irreversible consequences.

"Sir, according to the news from Vladivostok, the information about the Bolshevik personnel mixed into the fleeing team has been taken seriously by the other party. In this regard, Catherine III decided to postpone the formation of the army plan and asked all departments to jointly investigate the personnel. and verify."

Although Fang Zida is now the prime minister, Zhou Yuanliang still addresses him according to the old habit.Seeing Fang Zida nodding with a smile on his face, Zhou Yuanliang asked anxiously: "However, sir, according to the investigation of the Intelligence Bureau, there is no such evidence, and because of the special nature of the Soviet government, we can not confirm much information. Is it appropriate to issue a warning to the orthodox government of the Russian Empire?"

"You don't think it's appropriate?" Fang Zida looked at Zhou Yuanliang's puzzled expression and said instead, "If you were from the Soviet Union, would you do this?"

"I see..." Zhou Yuanliang immediately understood Fang Zida's meaning. Fang Zida didn't want to prove the authenticity of any information, but put the matter on a possibility, and this possibility is extremely high. Just like Fang Zida's rhetorical question, if Zhou Yuanliang were from the Soviet, he would undoubtedly do this.

"When the Russian Empire starts the inspection, you can ask them in the name of the intelligence agency if they need help." Fang Zida explained.

Zhou Yuanliang nodded repeatedly with a tacit smile. He had already thought of this. Even if he couldn't find out or help, this was also an excellent opportunity for the Intelligence Bureau to develop its external work.

"How is Denikin doing?" After talking about the Far East, Fang Zida asked Denikin who was hiding in Central Asia.In terms of military affairs, Lu Jianzhang of the Northwest Military Region had given Denikin great help according to the orders of the central government, but Zhou Yuanliang had officially taken over the liaison and intelligence work from Fang Zida after the Intelligence Bureau was established.

"Now Denikin's Department has 3 troops. Since supplies and weapons are sufficient, morale is not bad, but the training of recruits is insufficient, after all, time is short."

When Denikin came out, he had only 4000 people around him. It took a few months to grow to a team of 3 people. Although this is still far from his heyday, it is considered good in terms of his current situation. up.With his back to China and the secret support of the Chinese government, Denikin gathered some fleeing remnants and defeated generals after gaining a foothold, and then recruited a lot of people before rebuilding the army.But a qualified soldier cannot become a qualified soldier with a gun and a military uniform, and necessary training is required, not to mention the current situation. In terms of his territory, Denikin simply cannot achieve the point of pursuing quantity and ignoring quality, so He had to train a regular army that could double or even double the Red Army, so that he could deal with powerful opponents.

"It's not the same thing to take care of the elderly. There has been a lot of movement in Moscow recently. Denikin should move." Fang Zida took a puff of cigarette and thought about it, then said.

"Sir, do you mean...?"

"Let Denikin make a proper attack and put a little pressure on Moscow. The money we threw away was not in vain to help him support his troops. Although the training is insufficient, there is no problem in small-scale battles. What's more, to improve the battle The best way to improve personnel quality is not only training, but only on the real battlefield can the team grow rapidly."

"I understand, sir." Zhou Yuanliang nodded, and Fang Zida ordered again: "Also, you go to the base to find Chen Leshu, and if there are some things you need, let him arrange to try them out with Denikin to see the effect, but you have to remember Wait, this matter must be kept confidential, and the trial products must never fall into the hands of the Red Army."

Zhou Yuanliang rushed to make arrangements, and Fang Zida got up and walked to the window, stretching his sore waist and legs. The Russian civil war is estimated to last for several years, and because of the end of the European war, all countries have no energy to devote themselves to the Russian civil war. , but the blockade of the Soviet government has been recognized by Western countries.In this case, let the old men over there become the experimental area for the Chinese. Whether it is to test new weapons or new tactics, isn't war-torn Russia the most suitable place?Fang Zida thought about it, and gradually revealed a meaningful smile. (To be continued..)
