Chapter 718: Winter in Siberia

"This damn blizzard!" Mei looked at the goose feather snow outside the thick cotton curtain that was swept by the wind and swirled rapidly, and couldn't help but shiver and shrank back and muttered.

The weather in Siberia is too cold, and according to the statistics of the areas where their troops are stationed, in December, under normal circumstances, there are minus 30 or 40 degrees, and some days even reach more than minus 50 degrees, which is not at all a grade compared to the severe cold weather they have adapted to in Xinjiang.

In such temperatures, it is difficult to go out to the toilet, let alone fight.

As soon as the cold winter began, although the vanguard army in Siberia did not evacuate, outdoor activities plummeted.

Even if there are sufficient preparations to withstand the severe cold, such bad weather does not mean that you can adapt to it all at once. On the contrary, the remnants of the Soviet Russian partisans became active.

In order to completely occupy Siberia, Meng Xiang adopted the method of moving the population of Soviet Russia.

The nearly 10 million people who had been migrated by the Russians over hundreds of years were driven down the Trans-Siberian Railway to Europe by the vanguard army, either by persuasion or by force. In half a year, at least four million Russians have been transported by train across the Ural Mountains.

The Russians did not understand the intent of this method, but because the vanguard army was scattered, encountered little resistance, and even the Russians living in Siberia, especially the whites, preferred to leave this desolate place and return to prosperous Europe, the whole evacuation operation under machine guns was relatively smooth, at least without large-scale massacres. This is already very benevolent in the history of World War II and the various conquests that preceded it.

Of course, for those Soviet Russians with a spirit of resistance, the vanguard army was also unceremonious.

Of the three million troops of the vanguard army, except for the two million troops defending the Soviet troops in the Urals and the Far East and Central Asia, the remaining one million were all invested in the warning areas and escorting the evacuation of the Russians. A warning of blood at gunpoint is indispensable, and the deaths of a dozen or even hundreds of people in a certain area are simply insignificant in this era.

More young Russians were sent directly to their familiar labor reform because of the resistance, and they were under gunpoint to repair roads leading to various places.

This is still more merciful than Stalin's, at least this labor reform is a short-term act, except for a few very rare cases that are dealt with, at most within a year. Even two or three months can regain freedom, even with a meager salary. Sent to Europe.

Moscow for the actions of the Vanguard Army in Siberia. In addition to repeated protests and condemnation, there is nothing to be done. Instead, the influx of people is heavily censored. The wealth they carried was quickly expropriated by the state. Those young men who came back were also censored and sent to the Western Front to be cannon fodder.

The population sent to Europe was also equivalent to injecting a breath of vitality into Soviet Russia. In a way, Stalin's acquiescence was also justified by this.

Such a situation is inevitable, but it will not change much for the situation in Europe. War determines not only the population, but more importantly, the overall strength of the country. Otherwise, there would not be the shame of Huaxia that day. Given the level of industry in Soviet Russia and the aid of the United States, there are more cannon fodder in the European part of Soviet Russia that cannot be reasonably wasted.

And in Siberia, which has been demarcated by China, Meng Xiang will never keep a large number of Soviet Russians as a new minority and become a hidden danger for future generations. The best way to do this is to clean it all out and repaint the colors of Huaxia on a piece of white paper. Half a year. Three million Chinese people came to Siberia and rebuilt their homes in the towns left behind by Soviet Russia.

This is just the beginning, when the spring flowers bloom, more Chinese people will go north, cultivate the vast land, and completely turn Siberia into a Chinese garden.

This vast land is not something that can be digested by China in a short period of time, and in Meng Xiang's plan, even if those Soviet Russians are sent to a safe level, it will take almost three years. Although there were four million achievements in half a year, the more difficult it became.

Not all people are willing to leave their homes, even if they go to Europe, even at gunpoint, there are still many Soviet Russian people who refuse to move. In many places, armed confrontations were even launched under the organization of the Sovietists.

Guerrilla activities such as raids on the barracks of the vanguard army, attacks on the settlements of the Chinese people, and attacks on transportation lines also occurred from time to time on the vast plains of Siberia. Sometimes, the vanguard had to be transferred back from the combat units at the front to eliminate these Russian partisans.

As soon as the cold winter began, the range of activities of the vanguard army was drastically reduced, and the Russians, who were more adapted to the environment, were obviously much more active.

"Get up! It's time for us to patrol. Maybe those old hairy people will take advantage of the blizzard to sneak in. Mei Houwang warmed his hand on the stove that had just tested the outside temperature, and shouted loudly into the room.

In order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, even though the stoves brought from China were well designed, the soldiers generally did not sleep in the same place as the red-hot iron stoves.

As Mei Gaowang's words came alive, Niu 10,000, the deputy squad leader inside, had already dressed up and walked out. After a while, it was Li Erwa who was muttering to herself.

"Look at the way you are standing, where is the momentum of our vanguard army? You rookie eggs, one by one, are getting more and more squeamish! Mei exclaimed.

"Old squad leader, is it possible that when you are fighting and charging, you still close your eyes and step on the gossip steps to look like a soldier? Hee-hee! Li Erwa rubbed her eyes and joked with a smile. Mei has a good temper and is used to joking with the soldiers below.

"You stinky boy, don't you have itchy skin! A rookie egg has turned the sky upside down! Mei was embarrassed for a while, it was because of his strange behavior that he was accused of superstition by a certain superior in the army, and temporarily lost the opportunity to become an officer, so he could only rely on the military exploits strictly recorded by the clones to take another path of promotion and be promoted to sergeant major.

In the system of the Chinese National Defense Force, in order to take care of those elite veterans who have been in the army for a long time, the non-commissioned officer system was also introduced early.

It is irresponsible to let these illiterate veterans directly assume the command position of officers. In the Wehrmacht, the promotion of a soldier to an officer is very strict, and even if the military merit is enough, it needs to be evaluated.

The content of the assessment is divided into literary examination and martial arts examination.

Passing the assessment directly at the military school is considered a literary examination. However, this literary examination is not assessed by a military school itself, but by several major military schools to minimize the accident of cheating.

Those military cadets who have undergone systematic training in military academies are only warrant officers when they graduate, and they are not considered official officers. You need to accumulate enough military merit to be promoted.

However, many illiterate soldiers have the talent of command and management, or have gained sufficient experience in actual combat, and as long as they display their ability in this area in actual combat drills or even in actual combat, they can be regarded as qualified and can be promoted to the ranks of officers in the form of military examinations.

Of course, there are also many soldiers who cannot pass the civil and military examinations, so when the accumulated military merits are enough, they can also be directly promoted to sergeant major on the basis of sergeant and sergeant.

There are six ranks of non-commissioned officers in the Defence Force, and in addition to junior and junior sergeants, sergeant majors are also divided into third, second and first class sergeant majors. All of a sudden, it widens the promotion space of soldiers, and also reduces the probability of redundant officers in the army.

Although Mei Gaowang has been promoted to the rank of second-class sergeant major by virtue of his military merits, after all, the Chinese people's recognition of the sergeant major is not as good as the prestige of the officer. Every time someone mentions it, it always makes him a little uncomfortable. There was always some shame and regret about the reason why he was not elected as an officer.

At this time, the number of troops of the vanguard army plus the attached construction corps and armed police has almost exceeded 10 million, such a huge army is no longer completely controllable by the clones, plus the team that has absorbed many warlords, some situations can not be changed by saying that they can be changed, so there will be some unfair things below.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Xiang did not scatter all the many armies in the country, but slowly rested, infiltrating and influencing through clones and descendants.

"Lao Maozi, we have also fought a lot, didn't we all wipe out a guerrilla team of Lao Maozi the day before yesterday? We're veterans who have seen blood, right? Li Erwa continued to smile.

"You guys? If it weren't for the reminders of the police dogs that day, you would have been wiped out by those dozens of old hairy men who were ambushed. Also ......" Mei Gaowang just disdainful, suddenly stopped, and listened intently.

Suddenly there was the sound of a dog barking outside.

"There is a situation!" Liu Damao, who had been guarding in the attic upstairs, had just finished shouting with a Mauser sniper rifle, and Niu Shiwan had already run out with a Suomi submachine gun.

The wind and snow swirled in through the wooden doors and fluttering curtains, causing everyone in the room to shiver as they grabbed their weapons.

Mei Houwang and Li Erwa covered each other and rushed out of the stone house where they were stationed, covering their eyes and looking around. In the knee-high snow, a black spot shook in the distance.

"It's a police dog!" Niu 10,000, who was lying prone in the snow in a white cloak in front of him, made a safe gesture. As a clone soldier, the communication with those cloned dogs is the smoothest, and the first time I know the danger is lifted.

The black dot was getting closer and closer, and the two dogs were holding the wrists of a dying Soviet Russian, dragging them and slowly approaching.

"It's Lao Maozi's spies again!" Mei Houwang stepped forward and searched for a long time before saying, "In such a cold weather, there is no supply in the wild." These old hairy people can't hold their breath anymore. (To be continued)
