Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan said: "In our era, Central Asia includes five countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, these five countries are composed of different ethnic groups, these ethnic groups were once nomadic, Living on horseback, many people started farming in this era, and these five ethnic groups also have some differences, so I won’t go into details here.”

"Historically, Central Asia was the battle zone of multiple civilizations. In the early days, Greece and Persia used to compete for hegemony here. During the Han Dynasty of China, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, which promoted the connection between Chinese civilization and Central Asia. , and later Central Asia was under the influence of Chinese culture.”

"Later, the Arab Empire rose and gradually brought Central Asia into their sphere of influence. The Arab Empire and the Tang Empire had the Battle of Talas, and the Tang Empire failed. Then the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the Tang Dynasty, followed by the warlords of the late Tang Dynasty Separate regimes, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, China was in the midst of years of wars, and had no time to take care of Central Asia, and Central Asia has since been separated from the Chinese cultural circle.”

"Later, a series of Khanates were established in Central Asia. These Khanates worked hand in hand with Tsarist Russia and invaded the territory of Northwest China. By this time, the countries in Central Asia had completely become part of Tsarist Russia. When we invaded Central Asia, it was to gouge out the territory of Tsarist Russia. heart."

Han Mingguang nodded and said: "Captain Lin has already introduced the general history of Central Asia. Next, let me talk about our approach to enter Central Asia. I think the reopening of the China-Europe Railway is a good opportunity. Since China and Europe After the all-out confrontation between the great powers, Russia closed the China-Europe railway passing through Central Asia, which directly cut off our land connection with France, so we entered Central Asia on the grounds of restoring the China-Europe railway and promoting China-Europe economic and trade.”

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Reopening the China-Europe Railway is indeed a good way, but reopening the China-Europe Railway is not our only route of entry. The China-Europe Railway is in the north of Central Asia, mainly in Kazakhstan. An advance route." Lin Yuan pointed to the map and said, "This is the Pamir Plateau in the southeastern part of Central Asia. China called it "Buzhou Mountain" in the Zhou Dynasty and "Congling Mountain" in the Han Dynasty. commanding heights."

"I decided to send a plateau combat division to enter the Pamirs, liberate Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan on the plateau, and then descend from the plateau to enter Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the south of the Turan Plain. It is of great significance that it can go south and enter the Iranian Plateau."

"In Iran at this time, the north is controlled by the Russians, and the south is controlled by the British. We will wait and see the situation after liberating Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. If all goes well, we will go south and enter the Iranian plateau."

At this time, Chief of Staff Lei Yun said: "Captain Lin, you said that we are going to cross the Pamirs, but the lowest altitude of the Pamirs is more than 4000 meters. The mountains are criss-crossed, and most of the places are deserted areas. Isn't it too risky for us to cross here? I think it’s better to cancel the plan to cross the Pamir Plateau, and only choose the northern route to advance. Kazakhstan is a large plain, which is convenient for our mechanized troops to move. We can also enter the Turan Plain from Kazakhstan.”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. First of all, the task of crossing the Pamirs will be undertaken by the 61st Division stationed in Kashgar. The 61st Division conducts training in plateau areas all year round. Our combat staff officer on the Beijing ship has a lot of experience in fighting in plateau areas."

Lei Yun nodded and said no more. Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Hua and said, "Old Zhang, you have to think of an excuse for us to enter Tajikistan."

Zhang Hua said: "This is easy. After we included Siberia, the Tsar moved a large number of farmers to Central Asia in order to prevent domestic farmers from entering Siberia to join us. Tajikistan on the plateau is naturally no exception. The arable land on the plateau There were few in the first place, but as soon as the Russian peasants came, they clashed with the original residents.”

"So the Russian peasants and the local residents already have deep conflicts, and these conflicts can be exploited by us. I went back and instructed our people in Tajikistan to instigate these conflicts, and then stir up disputes between the two ethnic groups. We can continue' Quarantine operations' thinking, into Tajikistan."

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Well, let's finalize the big plan of this battle, Lao Zhang, you go back and encourage domestic businessmen to ask the government to reopen the railway, so that we can follow the public opinion and impose pressure on the Tsarist Russian government." pressure."

After discussing, everyone adjourned the meeting and went back to prepare. Lin Yuan returned home and said to Shen Wanqing, "I'm going to Kashgar once. You should prepare."

Shen Wanqing was taken aback, and asked, "What are you going to Kashgar for?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "We are going to march into Central Asia. I plan to let the 61st Division enter the Pamirs. I went to Kashgar to inspect them."

Shen Wanqing agreed, and the next morning Lin Yuan boarded the plane with his attendants. After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Kashgar Airport, and Lin Yuan got off the plane. It was already dark in Beijing at this time. But Kashgar is in the evening, because Kashgar is in the westernmost part of China, and the time is later than Beijing.

At Kashgar Airport, Fang Xianyang, the commander of the 61st Division, greeted Lin Yuan. Fang Xianyang was a middle-aged man in his 40s. Come to the Beijing ship.

The air on the plateau is thin, and the radiation of the sun is much stronger than that in the plains. Fang Xianyang's skin turned red and black, and his voice was also very loud. When he saw Lin Yuan, he laughed loudly and said, "Comrade Captain, you But it's finally here."

Lin Yuan reached out to shake hands with him, exchanged some greetings, Fang Xianyang said: "It's getting dark, and my local comrades and I have prepared a sumptuous dinner for you, let's go."

While talking, Fang Xianyang dragged Lin Yuan into the car far away. He was the first one who dared to drag Lin Yuan to the banquet. Fang Xianyang was so strong that Lin Yuan was actually dragged away by him After a few steps, I got into the car, and the car drove all the way. After half an hour, I arrived in the downtown area of ​​Kashgar. I saw street lights on the street, and there were not many pedestrians. After all, this is a frontier, not as prosperous as Beijing.

Fang Xianyang brought Lin Yuan to a hotel in the city. Lin Yuan got off the car and stood at the door of the hotel to look at it. The other party Xianyang said, "I won't go in. Let's go to the train station right now, to the frontline barracks .”
