Chapter 1184: The Impact of the Loss of Chita
Under the leadership of the special forces, Stalin entered the trading city in mid-October, although Stalin was concerned by Yang Yuanzhao, by Shi Lei's special order, by a team of the most elite special forces to carry out the mission, because of the attention, so a lot of caution, not only when he went, he arranged a lot of responses, and even after arriving, it also took effort to determine, which delayed a lot of time, and the other missions had already returned a week ago, and some had even begun to carry out the second wave, They just came back.
Fortunately, the task was successfully completed, and Stalin successfully brought it back, if it is said that in Siberia, there will be a 1 in 10,000 possibility, once the city is over, with a strong defense in the northwest, there can be no problems, and then, the Russian prisoners and civilians will be sent to that small city, but no one else, including Stalin, all the exiles will screen each other and judge their tendencies and abilities.
Yang Yuanzhao is not very sensitive to political things, but Shi Lei has been doing things on the dark side for so many years, and it is very clear that if there are many things, not only will it not be a good thing, but it will be sideways, and there will be so many revolutionary parties from Siberia, the bottom one, or ordinary people, no problem, but the high-level, or those who have firm beliefs, can't just be put into the small city, otherwise when the time comes, it will really become a hundred schools of thought, and then the small city will lose its combat effectiveness.
This is a long process, and even in Shi Lei's view, Yang Yuanzhao is optimistic about Stalin, and he may not be able to stand out from the middle. Because the conditions are too harsh, everyone has only one chance. After one failure, it is not allowed to continue. What awaits them will be the same treatment as the previous captives, going to work as coolies on countless construction sites in the northwest.
It has been more than a month since Brusinov's troops went south, and even after the capture of Chita City, it has been almost a month, and time is like an eternal god, fluctuating everything without a trace, but returning to its original track. Anomalies on Chita's side. Finally, more than a month later, it was known by the Russian side, and it was only the message that did not react, and Chita was the key that ran through the east and west, and once it was truncated here, the entire message east of Chita could not be transmitted, which was a big deal.
The Russian Far East as a whole occupies only a very small part of the Russian territory. But it is always an apprentice of several million square kilometers, or in the important Far Eastern Military District, where more than 3 million troops are now fighting, and it is only a matter of liaison officers below. After a month of gestation, it was uploaded level by level, and finally attracted the attention of the upper echelons.
There has been no news from the entire Far East for a month. This report is quite eye-catching, and it immediately attracted enough attention. Tsar and War Ministry, direct telegram inquiry. What happened here, everything was normal in the Ural region and Yekaterinburg, but when I checked the vicinity of Chita, I found that there was no information from the Siberian railway station after Chita for a long time.
What the hell is going on, is there a mechanical failure, but why is there no other way to contact Siberia, although Siberia is vast, it will be possible to reach the station below in a few days, or ten days, and there should be news coming.
At this time, the news of the Far Eastern Military District came, it turned out that after Chita was cut off, the Far Eastern Military District sent a telegram to the European part for a long time, but there was no response, and they were curious, and at this time, in the Far East, they were a simple alliance with the Japanese, through Japan, bypassing Japan's cable telegraph network, from the Pacific Ocean, the Americas, the Atlantic, around another circle of the earth, to contact Russia.
At this time, the Russian War Department discovered the importance of the problem, it turned out that Chita has not had a message for a long time, and at present, there is no problem with the Far Eastern Military District and the Xinjiang part, and they are anxious with the Chinese army, which can be regarded as attacking and defending to a certain extent, but Chita, which has concentrated more than a million troops, is completely like a black hole, and there is no news coming, is there a problem with Chita?
When the news reached the War Department, the face of the Russian army commander changed, and the war in the Far East, which was basically the most important war of the year, almost exhausted more than half of the entire Russian army, in order to occupy the territory of China, realize the great plan of Yellow Russia, and avenge the 1911 one-shot revenge.
In the whole strategy, Chita is the top priority, to avenge the defeat in the Mongolian War a few years ago, or the war closest to the core of China, as long as the Mongolian defense line is broken, the fat northwest will open its clothes in front of them, even Mongolia, there are several iron ore mines, metal mines, these are all wealth, a wealth that Russia cannot avoid.
Now Russia is very poor, that is, under the Lend-Lease Act of the United States, it can train so many troops, the tsar has money in his hands, but he is like an iron rooster, protecting the treasure, only when there is really no way, it is like squeezing toothpaste, squeezing out little by little, in the face of China such a big piece of fat, how can he let it go, only by taking the wealth of Mongolia and the northwest, can he make up for Russia's losses in the war, and support Russia to continue the European war, otherwise, the money of the Americans, He wanted to get rid of it.
Now that China has risen, it has gradually gained a position in the world, but in the eyes of Russia, it is still white supremacy, and Europe is the core of the whole world.
It's a pity that the bad news came today, Chita, a fortified city that Russia has operated for hundreds of years, is an impossible city to be conquered, and now it has really been conquered, and the chain reaction brought by the capture of Chita, even the Minister of War has no way to bear it, so he had to report it to the Tsar.
The tsar was actually a little anxious during this time, with the support of Britain, out of the complicated European war, Germany was also very face-saving, did not come to him for trouble, he was able to spare time, go all out to aim at Asia, want to realize the yellow Russia, open up a port for Asia in the Pacific Ocean, and even the Indian Ocean, so that Russia can truly become, in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, these four oceans have access to the sea, this is the supreme glory, But the development of things is completely different from what he expected, with 3 million troops, they are scorching in Xinjiang and the Northeast, and even in the Northeast, they are still at a certain disadvantage, what is going on, the sick man of East Asia is so powerful, where is the glory of their Great Russia.
Fortunately, Brusinov's southern expedition made him feel better, Brusinov lost points in his heart in 1911, but to a certain extent, Brusinov is still one of the few high-ranking Russian officers who can fight, and with a million troops, all of them are ready, and they can see China's weaknesses to fight, at least they can give some results, at least they can plunder a little wealth back.
It is for this reason that the tsar did not urge Chita and the Far Eastern Military District, quietly waiting for the results of Brusinov's battle, but this result did not wait, but waited for the bad news, the sequelae of continuous conscription of the army, manifested here, although Russia is the steamroller of Europe, and tens of millions of troops can be mobilized at will, but as long as it is a person, there are always seven emotions and six desires, and it is not always a cheerful thing to send someone to be a soldier, and it is good to say that the poor family can't live anyway, and it is good to beg for food, but it is a sign of millions of people, It accounts for about 2% of the entire population of Russia, and if you count young men, I am afraid that it is one-tenth of young adults, such a ratio, almost most families will be involved in it, although the Russian government has suppressed it as much as possible, but there is still a little chaos.
"It's all waste, suppress me, or send it to the army, the second batch of supplies from the United States will come soon, give me another 3 million!" When the Minister of War rushed to the Tsar's hunting palace, he heard the Tsar cursing frantically.
Even if the Tsar was not in a good mood at this moment, the matter was too important, and the Minister of War met with Nicholas II and reported the matter as it was.
I didn't know what the minister was doing here, but after listening, Nicholas II's expression was pale, Chita had not been in contact for a month, he also knew, and he was concerned about asking, but in his heart, he had never considered that Chita had been captured, maybe the people below were greedy and forgot to contact this side, but how long has it been, why would he give him such a completely different report.
Nicholas II's expression was rather strange, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't, and finally, the rage finally poured out, throwing everything he could find next to him, and yelling: "Rubbish, Brusinov is really rubbish, I'm going to kill him!" ”
Nicholas thought that Brusinov would take Mongolia, but he didn't expect that Mongolia had no hope at all, but left Chita, an army of more than a million, almost about half of the entire new sign, but it was lost in China again, lost in Mongolia, if Brusinov was in front of the Tsar, he was afraid that he would kill him as soon as possible, but in the Tsar's heart, there was already an idea of not leaving him, even if he had too much credit before, he was also a general who could fight, But in the eyes of Nicholas II at this moment, he is a waste, a waste that has ruined the good situation in Russia.
