Chapter 645: The Coalition Forces Enter Russia
The new book "The Best Three Princes" has been uploaded, and I kneel down and beg book friends to recommend and collect it!!
When the news of the autumn offensive of the Soviets was transmitted through the Russian government forces to the military observers of the Western countries. And then it attracted the attention of the command of the Western coalition forces.
After a period of preparation, the Western Allied Forces Command was established in Warsaw, Poland, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Entente Powers, who had led the Entente to victory in World War I, French Field Marshal Ferdinand. Foch becomes commander of the Combined Forces.
After the establishment of the Allied Forces Command, the armies of Western countries continued to converge on Warsaw, and at the same time, a large number of military supplies were also sent to the surrounding countries of Tsarist Russia, preparing all the preparations for the Allied Forces to enter Russia. Western European society, which had finally settled down, was once again filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Ferdinand. In the name of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Foch negotiated with the commander-in-chief of the Russian government forces, Marshal Vikto, and the royal representative, Prince Fedorov, and exchanged telegrams about the entry of the coalition forces into Russia to assist the Russian army in eliminating the Red rebels.
After the Tsar's family was executed by Stalin, there was an actual ruling fault in the entire Romanov dynasty, and Tsarist Russia pushed out Prince Fedorov as the Tsar's heir in order to ensure the rule of the royal family and unify the armed forces of the whole country. It was hoped that he would be able to reunite the forces of the government forces within Tsarist Russia and wipe out all the rebellious Red Soviets. But things did not go as smoothly as expected, and Prince Fedorov's identity was questioned by many people, and many people in power in the government army believed that he was a puppet pushed by some careerists, so there was no sense of belonging to Prince Fedorov's existence. Even the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Marshal Vik, has an extremely ambiguous attitude towards the royal prince.
As always, the proposal of the coalition was rejected by the Russian royal family, led by Prince Fedorov. Their reasons are also very good, now the Russian army still has 17.8 million people on the front line, and the red rebels have less than a million people, and the Russian army still has an advantage in terms of strength, not to mention that the cold winter is coming, the advantage of the red rebels who lack external support will be greatly reduced, and the government army can widen the strength gap between the government army and the rebels through a steady stream of foreign aid. In the end, victory will definitely go to the government forces.
But this time, Marshal Viktor, who has always opposed foreign coalition interference in Russia's internal affairs, changed his tune. He sent a telegram to Prince Fedorov, stating that the offensive of the Soviet Red Army was now very fierce, that the government army was disheartened, and that its combat effectiveness was weakening at every moment. At this rate, winter has not yet come, and millions of Russian troops will be defeated head-on. At the same time, Marshal Viktor also issued a statement that only a few days after the Red Army launched its autumn offensive, the Russian army lost more than half a million people before and after. At such a rate of loss, the Russian army really can't hold out for long.
Of course, Vic's claim that he is handsome is also a bit exaggerated. The main reason why the Soviet Red Army achieved such great results was the sudden attack of the Red Army, and it was pouring out. The government forces were defenseless and were preempted by the Red Army.
In addition, the government army is weak-willed to fight, and defeat is also a common thing. In addition, the results of the Red Army in the past few days are also very fortuitous, and there may not be such an opportunity in the future. Although the ruling apparatus of the government army is rotten, it has not yet reached the point of complete ossification and paralysis. In addition, the Russian soldiers are already fierce, and the ferocity aroused by the supervision team is still very lethal. Moreover, while the Red Army achieved such results, its own losses were also not small. Although the size of the Red Army's forces increased instead of decreasing through the conversion of prisoners, the biggest weakness of the Red Army was logistical support. With the weak military-industrial capability that the Red Army currently has at hand, it simply cannot support such a high-intensity large-scale operation for a long time. Therefore, the so-called autumn offensive of the Red Army was not as terrifying as Marshal Viktor imagined. As long as the government forces held out for a period of time without making major military mistakes, the Red Army would have to retreat to its base areas and prepare to concentrate supplies for the winter. The intensity of the war will also be greatly reduced. Neither the government army nor the Soviet Red Army could ignore the cold weather in Russia. …,
As the commander-in-chief of the government army, Marshal Viktor controlled most of the government army, and his opinion was enough to attract the attention of the entire Russian ruling class. In addition, the Western coalition forces put forward a series of material supply conditions for the Russian army, among which the support for Prince Fedorov to succeed him as the tsar made Prince Fedorov very moved, and the will of the Russian royal family has been shaken.
The capital of the Chinese province of Ussuri River, Vladivostok.
The preparatory meeting of the Siberian Command has been going on for three days and still no results, and as the war reports from the West continue to be transmitted, the Chinese side has become more and more assertive, and the opinions put forward have not been relaxed at all, and the military representatives of Britain, France, and the United States are under increasing pressure. There is no way, seeing that the Western coalition forces are about to enter Russia, the Far East has not even established the most basic joint military command. Therefore, telegrams from Britain, France, and the United States from the domestic military leaders one after another made the atmosphere in Vladivostok more solemn.
Slum west of the city. The station of the Japanese advance force.
General Iguchi looked at the telegram in his hand with an ugly face. The chief of staff, Major General Komatsu Ichiro, was covered in sweat, and there was a hint of panic in his expression that could not be concealed.
"Komatsu-kun, you said that the daily necessities we transported from China were robbed? Or is it snatched right under our noses? Yaga, how do you do things! "General Iguchi finally couldn't help but scold. Although China allowed advance troops from Western countries to land in Vladivostok, it also monitored it in the strictest possible way. The military garrisons of various countries were not close together, but were all separated by Chinese troops, intentionally or unintentionally, and among them, the Japanese side was the worst treated. The Japanese advance army was originally a slum, and it was the place where the poorest Chinese lived during the period of Russian rule. Later, Xu Zhiliang's armed uprising was successful, and the Russian forces were expelled, and even the Russians in the city were also killed. Large numbers of Russians were driven onto the train and moved out before the coalition forces entered the city, and their properties naturally became vacant. So the Ussuri government distributed it to these suffering Chinese compatriots. So, by the time the coalition forces landed, it was no longer inhabited. In addition, because of the relocation, the place is in shambles, and many houses are in danger of collapsing.
The Japanese advance force received special treatment from the Chinese army at the time of landing, and the same was done in the distribution of garrisons, which made the Japanese army hold back a fire. However, at that time, the Japanese commander put the overall situation first, tried his best to restrain the Japanese soldiers, and then started to repair the dilapidated house, which can be regarded as living. It's just that the peaceful days seem to have nothing to do with the Japanese.
In addition to the complete encirclement of the Wehrmacht, one on the left and one on the right, there were always some unscrupulous homeless people outside the Japanese garrisons, who either provoked the Japanese soldiers standing guard or threw away some unbearable garbage. There are even records of Japanese soldiers being beaten while going out shopping. All of the above has caused turmoil in the hearts of the Japanese troops. After the arrival of Senior General Iguchi Seigo, he once again restrained the Japanese dispatch army, abolished the leave system for soldiers, and all Japanese soldiers were trapped in the barracks for training. Even so, the nightmare of the Japanese army did not end. Today, a group of merchant ships carrying daily necessities were looted as they reached the outskirts of the Japanese garrison. By the time the Japanese soldiers received the news and rushed over, the entire 50 truckloads of daily necessities had already been looted. Japan was naturally unwilling to suffer such a big dumb loss, so it sent troops to investigate. But as soon as the Japanese army came out of the camp, they were blocked back by the heavily armed Chinese troops, and the situation between the two sides was tense, and they almost misfired! This made Japan extremely aggrieved.
"Your Excellency, this matter must have been instructed by the government of the Chinese country, and even the Chinese army was involved, and our imperial army of the Japanese Empire would rather die in battle than suffer such an insult." Major General Komatsu Ichiro said loudly. …,
"Yaga! The Chinese now want us to do it so that they can justifiably attack us. At present, the situation in the negotiations is deadlocked, and people on all sides are panicking. If we, the Japanese Empire, were driven out because of the conflict with China, it would be a violation of the will of the Chinese, and our mission would fail. General Iguchi said with an unusually solemn face.
"Your Excellency, are you saying that the Zhiqi man intends to let us do it, and then take the opportunity to exclude us from this plan to form the United Siberian Army? Why? Even if we do not participate in the Japanese Empire, it will be difficult for the Chinese to obtain the post of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Western countries will not allow the Chinese to take power. Komatsu Ichiro said.
"Humph! You know what. Now that the Western coalition forces are about to enter Russia, the materials assembled by the countries in the Far East have not been shipped for a long time, in order to establish the Siberian Command and open up a new logistics supply base in the rear of the Russian army with the help of the Trans-Siberian Railway. As soon as the Western countries really enter the war, there will be a new situation in the negotiations in the Far East, and I can feel that the Western countries do not attach much importance to Siberia, but only treat it as a barren land. Otherwise, they would not have allowed the Chinese army to calmly occupy the entire region. I have just received news that the Chinese Navy has appeared in the Bering Strait and has occupied the posts that originally belonged to the Russian army, bringing the entire eastern Russian territory of Siberia under its rule. At this critical moment, we must resist the pressure and disrupt the plans of the Chinese, and for this reason, even if we suffer great humiliation, we must persevere. Komatsu-kun, I hope you can see all this, and the benefits that China has gained are the weakening of the imperial power. In all of East Asia, only China is an obstacle to the rise of our great Japanese empire. General Iguchi said earnestly.
"Report to Your Excellency the General, there is an urgent telegram from the country that the Russian royal family has agreed to the Western coalition forces to enter Russia to fight, and in three days, the Western coalition forces will officially set foot on Russian soil." The latest news that the Extra High School will receive.
"Komatsu-kun, you must restrain the troops during this time, if something goes wrong, you know how to apologize!" His Excellency the General said with a gloomy face.
"Hay!" 【Provided】
