Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan did not expect that the establishment of an embassy would cause so much criticism. It seems that people's thinking in this era still needs a big change, so Lin Yuan said: "It turns out that this is the case. Well, let's discuss this matter slowly. .”

In the next few days, Lin Yuan met with the heads of several companies separately, learned about the situation in Russian society, and met with the Russian ministers in charge of trade, and conducted an investigation on the commodity trade situation in Russian society. Others investigated the development of Russia's science and technology and military industry, and then everyone boarded the train and headed to the next stop - Germany.

Starting from Moscow and heading west, you entered Belarus. However, in this era, Belarus was still a part of Tsarist Russia. The true independence of Belarus would have to wait until the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 90s.The Belarusians are an independent nation and established some independent kingdoms in the 12th century, but they were annexed by the neighboring Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Russian Empire.

Thinking back on this period of history, Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking of a way to counter Russia: the Russians can blackmail themselves by supporting the Communist Party, and they can counter Russia by supporting the independence of small countries such as Belarus!Countries like Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania are excellent choices. The best choice is Poland. Historically, Poland was once a powerful kingdom with a strong sense of national pride and determination for independence.

The train continued on, passed through several big cities, and came to Poland. Lin Yuan thought of the soldiers of the Polish battalion who had been captured by him. Many of them were elites of the Polish independence movement. To help the Polish people resist the oppression of the tsar, and secondly to create troubles in the west of Russia, so that they can focus on the west and reduce their interference in Chinese affairs.

But Lin Yuan also thought that doing so would actually be very difficult, because Poland and China do not border each other, so once these people returned to Poland, they would immediately become an isolated flag, and it would be difficult for him to support them. Russia and Mongolia are different. The two countries share hundreds of thousands of kilometers of borders, so Russia can support Mongolia's separatist forces at any time.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that it is more important not to rush to attack, but to defend steadily first." At this moment, Fade Chen came over and said, "I have consulted several people in Russia in the past few days as a businessman. I found out what products they have, and the agents of those arsenals have no sense of confidentiality at all, so they told me all these things."

Lin Yuan asked, "Has there been any major development in Russia's arsenal?"

Chen Fei said: "As far as the infantry's light weapon technology is concerned, they haven't changed much. It seems that we haven't hit them hard enough, and they don't have the idea of ​​changing to automatic or semi-automatic weapons."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "That's good, it seems that we can save a lot of effort in fighting!"

Fade Chen said: "Okay, I'll go back first if I have nothing to do. The sister of the Russian waiter on the train is pretty good-looking. I had a good chat with her!"

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to pull him, and said with a smile, "Don't you understand Russian? With an interpreter sitting on the side, you can talk about anything!"

Fade Chen smiled badly, and said, "You don't understand this! If you don't understand Russian, there are ways to chat if you don't understand Russian. I asked her to teach me Russian, so we can chat now!"

Lin Yuan held back his smile and said, "Okay, hurry up, I won't bother you to learn Russian."

Fade Chen smiled and said, "Do you think that I've been chatting with girls these days and not doing serious things? Let me tell you, I have carefully studied the historical materials of Russia's splitting of Mongolia these days, why don't we come here to have a War game deduction, I will simulate the tsar, you are you, I will split Mongolia, and you will deal with it, how about it?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I've been thinking about this for the past few days, let's make a move."

Chen Fei said: "In our era, Mongolia declared independence at the end of 1911, that is, after the Revolution of [-]. At that time, the rule of the Qing government had collapsed. Originally, the Qing court established Ulia Sutai in Ulia Sutai. The position of general Sutai is in charge of the situation in Mongolia, but with the collapse of the Qing government, this general can no longer control things."

"So Mongolia expelled the officials of the Qing government stationed in Kulun, and then declared independence. In this era, the Qing government is still there, so once Mongolia declares independence, the Qing government will definitely send troops to suppress it, so there will be wars. At that time, the Qing government must I will not send you troops."

Lin Yuan quickly asked: "Why are you so sure that the Qing court will not send me troops?"

Fade Chen said: "I read history books recently, and found a sentence in it called 'Braveness shakes the Lord, the merits surpass the world' or something..."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "This is what Kuai Tong said to Han Xin in "Historical Records". Those who are brave enough to shake the Lord will be in danger, and those who have made great achievements will not be rewarded."

Fade Chen said: "That's right, that's what I meant. You are so powerful that you have already acquired the three northeastern provinces, and you will hand over a large area of ​​Mongolia to you. If I were Cixi, I would not be at ease, so it would be the Qing army." Instead of us going into Mongolia and engaging Mongolian troops."

"At this time, the Mongolian cavalry has long lost the fighting power of Genghis Khan's era, and they are all cold weapons, which are incomparable with the guns of the Qing army. Therefore, the Russians will definitely send troops. If the Russians want to send troops, they must find a suitable one. The reason, I have already thought about this reason, that is, the Mongolian people were persecuted by the Qing court, so they wanted to be independent."

"Russia sent troops only to protect the Mongolian people from the abuses of the Qing court! In our era, Mongolia once held a referendum with the support of the Soviet Union. I think this is the first move of the Russians. They will definitely Use a referendum or similar methods to make the world think that Mongolia is voluntarily independent, how do you break this trick?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Isn't it just a referendum? This kind of thing looks very fair. It seems that the result of the referendum is chosen by everyone, but the fact is: the result of the referendum is the result that the referendum wants. Because There are too many methods to manipulate the referendum, let’s not talk about low-level methods such as changing votes, the advanced method is: use the information dissemination channels you have to control people’s thoughts.”

"So, my solution is: use our information dissemination channels to explain to everyone that the Russians are manipulating the referendum. Beijing has foreign news agencies. I believe they will pass the news back to the West. By then, Russia will be isolated in the world."

Fade Chen said: "Very well, this is a solution, but whether it will work depends on the development of the situation in the future. We all know that public opinion can only affect the development of the situation. In the end, it is the means of war that really decides the situation. One problem is related to strategy and tactics. If a war breaks out, the Qing army will definitely not be able to defeat the coalition forces of Russia and Mongolia. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, we must fight in the end. My question is: how should we fight this war? ?”
