Chapter 591: A Hundred Slaps
The tragic war in northern Mongolia finally came to an end, under the witness of the reunification of the six countries, the representatives of both sides signed an armistice agreement in Beijing, withdrawing from the current state of firefight, and then, Russia retreated to lick the wounds, everyone knows, the temperament of the northern bear, not to mention that it is a loss, even if it is not a loss, it will gnaw a bite, not to mention that it has already suffered a loss, if it is not for the overall situation of Britain and France, they may break out this time, the real national mobilization, with the background of the northwest, even if it blocks the madness of Russia, It will also ruin the hard work of several years, let alone participate in the big cake of World War I, even if it is to regain the way of development, it will take a few years, and then it will be over.
The 200-kilometer buffer zone above the treaty seems to have encroached on a lot of Russian rights and interests, but this part of the area is a desert, only a few small villages, and even because of the war in the north, the people in the small villages have run away, and Siberia, even in a year from now, is one of the most sparsely populated places in Russia.
On the whole, both sides have reached an agreement for the time being, but it is foolish to believe whether the two sides will restore their friendship. Yang Yuanzhao calmly looked at the actual control line on the map, and sighed, it's a pity, if he had crossed over 10 years earlier, this war would definitely not make Russia better, China, with its huge population and the most industrious citizens, can naturally occupy this vast land with a vast and sparsely populated land.
Coming from later generations, Yang Yuanzhao clearly felt the sadness of more people and less land, the demographic dividend, so to speak. In fact, it's not sad, with cheap manpower, take over other people's OEM or low-level processing, a ship's shirt, and replace it with an airplane. This is not occasional, but abounds, and the reason why China's high-precision processing capacity is backward is because of foreign blockades and controls. This time, China must not continue like this, and the population must have a living space that matches the population. Mongolia is just the first step.
A person with glasses, an ordinary face, and unrecognizable when he was thrown in the crowd, quietly walked into Yang Yuanzhao's office. Said respectfully: "President, you are looking for me!" ā
Yang Yuanzhao turned around, nodded at him, and said, "Liang Er, the next focus of the Investigation Bureau is Russia, give me a clarification of him!" ā
"It's the president!" Liang Er said solemnly that he was the director of the Investigation Bureau. It is also one of the first batch of Baotou employees, who was just a beggar who wandered to Baotou back then, and was later recruited by Yang Yuanzhao. When the Investigation Bureau was established that year, after several selections and competitions, he finally became the director. In principle, the Bureau of Investigation has done a good job in this northern war. There are also poor places, all in all, they are not satisfactory.
Yang Yuanzhao didn't think about it either. As soon as the Bureau of Investigation came out, it was like those spy and intelligence agencies in later generations. Killing all sides, the newly established unit, the main thing is to exercise, not afraid of losses, as long as it is under control, glanced at the map, and said: "Here, here, and here, send people to me, on the one hand, investigate their topographic map, on the other hand, military, political, economic, garrison, are the focus!" ā
Liang Er took out his notebook and began to record, and after he finished it, he asked a little tentatively: "President, are you planning to attack Russia?" ā
The location on the map that Yang Yuanzhao refers to is a relatively important large city in Siberia, if it is taken there, the whole of Siberia will be charged in his hands, and it can even advance to the Ural region, as long as Russia is 0 in the Asian part, from the Ural Mountains, cut off from the waist waist, * 10,000 square kilometers of land, it seems that it can be swallowed at once.
"Prepare first, you have a few years!" Yang Yuanzhao's words were calm, but his heart was full of expectations, this vast land, even after more than a year, in Russia as a reserve resource, has not been fully developed, this is the advantage of a huge territory, China's land is vast, only in some aspects, but in fact, to more than 100 years later, many of China's industrial raw materials have been able to rely on imports, the land is vast, it is the total amount, but in the high-taste ore, a large number of scarce oil, etc., can only rely on imports.
This is the sorrow of a great power, because under the premise that the United States has sequestered most of its domestic minerals, China and Russia are often able to rely only on minerals and primary production for income. The outbreak of World War I, in a sense, is a major reshuffle of capitalism, among the participating countries, except for Japan and the United States, they have basically been weakened, and even formed a new Soviet Union, the northwest is now unable to go north, but after a few years, it will be different, ideological problems, will make the powers no longer interfere, besides, the countries that were completely weakened by the First World War are also powerless to stop China's footsteps, and when the time comes, it is the time to open up the territory.
Liang Er accepted the order, secretly arranged personnel, among them, the previous Russian prisoners, began the screening process, the selection of easy control and greater hatred of Russia, these take time, may take several years to be able to come in handy, but targeted selection and training has begun, really used this time, is some border East Asian races, although these people in the sample, and Slavic still have a certain difference, but will not be like the Orientals, the Chinese so abrupt, it is also a good choice.
The great net of the Bureau of Investigation began to loom over Russia, and at first, it was just a root, and with Russia's neglect of the Far East, except for an important port like Vladivostok, or an important city like Chita, everything else would not be at all, and in the countryside, in the ordinary countryside, a large number of maps and markers were surveyed and mapped, and a battle that determined the preparation of the land in the north began as early as five or six years ago.
Russia made peace with the northwest, and after the two sides simply concluded a treaty, some media familiar with the powers came out, but because neither the northwest nor Russia intended to expose this result, it was just an armistice agreement, and the rest was covered with clouds and fog, and it was unclear what was said.
The more cloudy and foggy it is, the more it makes people feel that there is an opportunity, and at the very beginning, the media controlled by Beiyang and the revolutionary party took the initiative to burst out of the headlines, which were all groundless speculations, mostly slandering the northwest, saying that the northwest was traitorous and making peace with Russia alone.
In any case, the situation in China is really divided into the world, which is similar to the country, the revolutionary party is in the south, which can barely be called Wu, and the Beiyang is in the north, occupying the Central Plains, but it cannot be called Wei, but it is located in the northwest of the west, and it is powerful enough to deal with Beiyang and the revolutionary party, and it can be seen from the annihilation of Russia's almost 500,000 regular army, at least on the bright side, Beiyang and the revolutionary party dare not directly block the edge of the northwest.
According to the ideas of Beiyang and the revolutionary party, since 1840, China has signed a treaty of equal interest with foreign countries, perhaps this time the northwest won, and also defeated Russia, but the common intervention of the six countries is as heavy as a mountain, the eight-nation alliance of the year, headed by the six countries, they exert pressure together, in this case, the barren land of Mongolia, make a little concession, it is also reasonable.
In itself, there is not much possibility of intervention in this matter, but before the northwest, the propaganda was high-profile, what will not lose a little bit of the territory, will not harm the interests of China, so it will go to liberate Mongolia, at this time just use this to attack the northwest, you don't mean not to lose the territory, if a ceasefire line and buffer zone are formed, how to calculate it at that time, even if you have an explanation, but a thousand mouths say together, the white one will also discredit you.
The media publicized the uproar of public opinion in China, and some blinded people even protested to the northwest, and some small business offices of the northwest banks were run out.
The small actions of Beiyang and the Kuomintang, of course, are in the eyes of the northwest, and the reason why they don't do anything is to let them come out and jump, and the little worms hiding in the holes are not likely to be shot to death at all, and when all the celebrities are going one after another and constantly slandering the northwest in the newspapers, the northwest has made all the preparations.
Three days later, when public opinion was in full swing, the northwestern part of Germany and the United States jointly promulgated the detailed rules of the armistice agreement, which also included the analysis and belief of the German foreign minister and the American minister in China, and even added the details of the treaty and its current implementation.
But it was like a slap in the face, slapped the revolutionary party and Beiyang in the face, did not lose the slightest bit of sovereignty and territorial integrity, even the ceasefire line and buffer zone were demarcated on the side of the Russian army, some trade agreements and the like, did not exceed the established limit, it can be said that this is an unequal treaty against Russia. Stealing chickens does not make rice, this is what Beiyang and the revolutionary party are thinking now.
The newspaper that was clamoring and noisy stopped abruptly in an instant, Beiyang and the revolutionary party were silent, and some people mentioned yƬ and continued to smear, saying that the northwest wore the same pants as the two major powers and deceived ordinary citizens, but Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen both understood quite well that if Germany and the United States talked nonsense, the first thing that would not let him go was Russia, as a defeated country, suffered a big loss on the Mongolian side, hundreds of thousands of troops were annihilated, and the hatred for the northwest, but to the bones, Britain and France also had similar ideas, If the Northwest talks nonsense, they will immediately oppose and expose it.
Now that the country is calm, the possibility of signing this agreement is very great, and the northwest has really done it, and without losing power and humiliating the country, it will be able to ensure its territorial integrity, and it has been recognized by the great powers.
Since things have been done out of line, Beiyang and the revolutionary party are of course in a hurry, and some scapegoats have been thrown out, trying to get themselves out before they start in the northwest, but unfortunately these actions are too late. (To be continued)
