774 Sunset of the Soviet Empire - Anglo-Japanese Alliance

On April 25, 1938, the Hermitage Square in Petersburg was so crowded that it was as if the entire population of Petersburg had dressed themselves in their best clothes and arrived at this square of special significance in the history of Russia. It was from this square that 24 years ago, on August 14, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia announced to his subjects that Russia was entering the world war! The whole square was cheering. And 21 years ago, on November 17, 1917, the revolutionary Soviet soldiers also set off a storm of the October Revolution in this square! And now, the rightful heir of the Romanov dynasty, which had been crushed by the storm of revolution, the restored Empress Anastasia I, was standing on a balcony on the second floor of the Winter Palace in full costume and proclaiming loudly to her subjects: "I am the Russian Empress Anastasia with the Lord Jesus. Swear in the name of Christ that you will defend Petersburg and Russia to the last breath! May God be with Russia! ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ula ......"

The officers and men of the Royal Young Guard, who stood on the side of the Hermitage Square near the Hermitage, took the lead in cheering, and then the citizens of Petersburg, who were infected by the empress's bravery, also cheered. In any case, the empress is now ready to fight to the end for her empire like a true Russian monarch. Moreover, the inhabitants of the city, although not very supportive of the empress, did not want the Bolsheviks to return now.

"Oh my God! Aren't these Russians crazy? "At this time, it was in a three-story building with a blue sky and white sun flag near the Hermitage Square. Lieutenant General Wan Yanhao, who was the ambassador of the Republic of China to the Russian Empire, couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing about the empress's determination, and there was still a copy of the latest battle report he had just received on his desk.

In this war report, the other group of Russians who believe in GC doctrine also seems to have gone completely crazy. From Borovich to Ostashkov. This is only a meagre 200-kilometer front, and a large Soviet army is being assembled. 1st Assault Group, 2nd Assault Group, 4th Assault Group, 10th Army, 12th Army, 15th Army, 18th Army, 24th Army, 27th Special Army, 29th Special Army, 30th Army, 31st Army, 32nd Army. So far, the number of infantry units that have been identified has reached a huge number of 10 army groups! And there are also 3 assault groups with at least one tank division. This is a strong force with a total strength of nearly 1.6 million troops, and the Soviet army has also invested a lot of technical weapons, according to German and Russian intelligence services, the Soviet Red Army has invested about 600 tanks and nearly 10,000 artillery pieces here, in addition to 500 aircraft, which is the largest force that the Soviet army can gather. At the same time, there are about 400,000 troops of about 3 other armies on the secondary Veliko Luki line, which has been assembled! In other words, the Soviet army will invest about 2 million troops in the upcoming summer offensive! Almost two-thirds of Stalin's total forces.

"Even if it's crazy, it's going to drive our assistant commander crazy with Hitler!" Wu Tuohao, deputy chief of staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and head of the Chinese military delegation to Russia, who was sitting on the side, responded. Then he picked up the magnifying glass and looked at the map carefully. While looking at it, he said: "The empress is not completely without a chance of victory, she also gathered 1.8 million troops in Petersburg and Velikiye Luki, including eight army groups near Petersburg, twenty-four infantry corps, in addition to three tank divisions, nearly 1.5 million troops, more than 6,000 artillery, more than 700 tanks, and about 500 aircraft!" This battle is evenly matched, and it is not certain who will die of the deer! ”

"I think it's a bit of a hang." Wan Yanhao shook his head, expressing that he was not optimistic, he said: "The composition of the Empress's army is complex, there are White Russians who have returned from overseas, there are Red Army soldiers who have defected to the Empress, and there are Red Army prisoners of war who have been captured by the Germans...... Each has its own small abacus, which is a real ragtag army! It is not comparable to the Soviet Red Army, which is united from top to bottom. And in the past few months, the empress's political fu has long been unable to make ends meet, and the salaries of the 3.5 million army are all spent on money printing machines, God knows how much fighting spirit her army can have? ”

At this time, Wan Yanhao's adjutant pushed the door and walked in. "The Assistant's telegram."

"Read!" Wan Yanhao said.

The lieutenant immediately opened the heavy folder and read it word by word. "Wen Qiang (Wan Yanhao) and Mou Xian (Wu Tuohao) two generals, the current civil war in Soviet Russia has reached a critical moment, you need to always pay attention to the situation on the front line, and report to the General Staff and the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command at any time. If you have any inconvenience, you can meet with Empress Anastasia directly and ask for her help......"

"Huh?" After listening to the telegram sent by Luo Yaoguo, Wan Yanhao frowned slightly. "The assistant marshal said that now the Russian civil war has reached a critical moment? What does that mean? This kind of Armageddon of three or four million people, there shouldn't be a winner in a few months, right? The empress's army is not a German ** team......" At this time, Wan Yanhao only felt that his back was lightly patted, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Wu Tuohao, the deputy chief of staff of the expeditionary force smiled mysteriously, and said lightly: "Brother Wen Qiang, the arrangement of the auxiliary commander is reasonable, and we will do it." ”

……

"Fuwen, something happened in Japan!"

At this time, on the other side of the world, Chief of Staff Luo had just finished a day's work, and Natalie was walking into the hall of Beilu with a smile, when he saw the Kawashima Yoshiko holding a yellow copy of the newspaper with a sad face in front of him.

Yoshiko Kawashima is now 32 years old, but she has always been pampered and carefully maintained, but she has retained seven or eight points of youth, and she has a little more charm of a young woman. In the past few years, her job has been to keep an eye on Luo Yaoguo's every move of the Japanese side, and at the same time be responsible for maintaining secret contacts with some Japanese military dignitaries.

"Talking in the study." Luo Yaoguo took off his military coat, threw it to the servant with his briefcase, and dragged Natalie and Yoshiko Kawashima into the study on the second floor.

"Yoshiko, is there any news from Nagata Iron Mountain?" As soon as the three of them sat down in the study, Luo Yaoguo asked.

Yoshiko Kawashima nodded and said: "Because of the affairs of Vladivostok and the Far Eastern Republic, most of the political leaders in Japan are now opposed to our China, and today they held another five-phase imperial meeting, and Emperor Showa was also present in person." Nagata Tetsuyama had already argued with reason, but the emperor finally decided to form an alliance with the British! ”

Luo Yaoguo was silent for a moment: "It seems that those Japanese warlords are still unwilling to give up on the Asian continent!" But at this time to get on the ship of the British...... What benefits did those Brits promise to little Japan? Did Nagata's telegram say it? ”

When Petersburg and Chamberlain were negotiating the Siam question, Luo Yaoguo already had a vague feeling that Japan might have to board the British ship. But when the news was confirmed, he was a little surprised. The Second World War in this time and space is really getting more and more interesting! It's just that now that China's army is far stronger than Japan's, do they still dare to run to the mainland to die? If they dare not come, then how can their greed for territory be satisfied? Will they take the benefits of the British and "betray the revolution" again?

Yoshiko Kawashima just shook her head: "Actually, it didn't give much benefit, but it just transferred the technology of several aircraft engines, including the 1,000 hp star engine technology that the Japanese have always wanted to get from us and the Germans." And what a uranium bomb, the British also promised to develop it together with Japan. ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "It seems that these Japanese are not stupid!" Know that this uranium bomb is a great thing, but how much time do the British have left? Where do they still have the opportunity to build this uranium bomb, and even if they can build a uranium bomb, how can they share it with Japan? I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Japanese to get mixed with them. ”

Yoshiko Kawashima handed the telegram in his hand to Luo Yaoguo: "You see, Nagata Tetsuyama said on the telegram that although Japan has formed an alliance with Britain, it will never meet with China and Germany, and if Britain dares to declare war on China and Germany, Japan will definitely withdraw from the Anglo-Japanese alliance as soon as possible, and will even follow China and Germany to fight against Britain...... Therefore, he hopes that we can understand Japan's plight. ”

Luo Yaoguo pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "The Japanese really still want to step on two boats, but they are a little whimsical. We don't dare to ask for such allies, so let's go south when they want to, and it's best not to cause anything unexpected...... But the important thing at the moment is not Japan, but Russia, and as long as the monster of the Soviet Union finally falls, nothing will threaten us. But how should we get back to Nagata Tetsuyama now? ”

Of course, this question is not asked to Yoshiko Kawashima, but Luo Yaoguo is asking himself. Although Japan's allies can fight more than Italy, they are much more powerful than Mussolini when it comes to not having enough success and more than failure! Historically, if it had not been for the fact that the Japanese launched Pearl Harbor to give the United States an excuse to enter the war, Hitler would still have a good chance of defeating the Soviet Union. Now Japan has joined the British side...... I wonder if I will do something unbelievable?

Luo Yaoguo was silent for a while, and Okikawashima Yoshiko smiled: "Yoshiko, you personally go to Japan to see Nagata Tieshan and your adoptive father Kawashima Sulang, as well as the head of the Black Dragon Society, Touyamaman." Make it clear to them that the Asian continent is Chinese! If they want to get involved, just let the horses come, we have defeated even millions of Soviet Red Army, and we are afraid that little Japan will not succeed? As for the Japanese Navy, it was a force that could fight in the First Century. But I would like to remind them that even if the Japanese Navy defeats the Chinese Navy, they will not be able to reach the shores of the Asian continent! But if they had defeated Britain's small Far East Fleet, they would have gained a lot of money, and China had no interest in anything outside the Asian continent. ”

……

was attracted by the sudden appearance of "Anglo-Japanese Alliance", of course, it was not only these people in Luo Yaoguo's study. In Boli, the capital of the newly baked Far Eastern Socialist Republic, there are also some people who are fluctuating these days because of the "Anglo-Japanese Alliance".

Speaking of which, the city was also the first major city to be "liberated" from the Kuomintang reactionaries! At the beginning of this year, the Soviet Far Eastern Front and the Baikal Front were reorganized into the Siberian Front of the Russian Empire, and began to advance westward one after another. The Chinese People's Volunteers, originally under the leadership of the Far Eastern Front, raised their own banner and called themselves the "GC International Far Eastern Army", and the 80,000-strong army marched to Khabarovsk, one of the three major cities in the Far East, or Boli! At this time, the Chinese National Defense Forces finally revealed the essence of the paper tiger of the reactionary army, and in the face of the attack of 80,000 people's troops, they fled without a fight, and ceded all the cities of Amursk, Boli, and Miaojie in the Amur River Valley to this Far Eastern People's Liberation Army! In this way, a Far Eastern Socialist Republic was born, with Zhang Guotao, the leader of China and G, as the president of the country and Chen Changhao as the premier!

From the very beginning, this nascent socialist country became a thorn in the side of Japanese imperialism. Because in the secret annex to the "Anti-GC International Agreement" signed by Japan, it is stipulated that the two territories of Boli and Amursk are to be divided to Japan! And now it has let the Chinese GCD take it to form a state...... It was only because of the ambiguous attitude of the Chinese national government that the Japanese did not dare to openly attack the country. But now that these ambitious Japanese warlords have the support of the British Empire, it seems that the attack of Japanese imperialism is imminent!

At this time, Chairman Zhang Da in the Presidential Mansion of the Far Eastern Republic seemed to be very calm, and he was talking in a low voice with Zhou Elai, the leader of the Chinese G who had just arrived from Baotou.

"Comrade Elai, it seems that I, the chairman of the political government, will not be able to serve for a few days, you see, the Japanese Far Eastern Army has sent me an ultimatum again, limiting us to hand over Boli within 48 hours...... Otherwise, they will attack. ”

Zhou Elai smiled and said: "Comrade Guotao, according to the analysis of the central authorities, although these Japanese warlords are very loud, the nature of their external strength and middle cadres determines that they dare not really provoke a war. In fact, it is not us who really has to worry about it, but Japan, which occupies most of the land in the coastal region of the Far East! Now that the Kuomintang has withdrawn from the war with the Soviet Union, their army of several million shows no signs of demobilization! With such a powerful force, there must always be someone to vent to...... If the Japanese attack Boli at this time, who do you think will be unlucky in the end? ”

"Do you need to talk about that? It must be that I, the Far Eastern Republic, are going to be unlucky. Zhang Guotao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Those Japanese warlords were all reckless masters of doing things, so they would not be intimidated by the millions of troops of the Kuomintang reactionaries! ”

Zhou Elai smiled and shook his head. The current policy of the Chinese and the G is to prepare to take over the banner of the world revolution and take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the world war to establish a socialist regime in places where the capitalist forces are weak! But now the war in the Soviet Union seems to have turned into a civil war, and China and Germany have no sign of waging a major war against Britain and France for the time being...... If world capitalism chooses to coexist peacefully after the elimination of the Soviet Union, it will be difficult for the world revolution to achieve new victories. Therefore, Zhongg is not afraid of world war now, but only afraid of peace in the world! It doesn't matter even if this results in the temporary fall of the Far Eastern Republics.

During the time that Zhou E came, in addition to the daily affairs of the leader of Baotou, his keen eyes have been staring at the Far East and Siam. Is it possible that a new world war will start in a short period of time? And can China G give it an appropriate impetus to accelerate the pace of the wheel of history?

His eyes first turned to the Siamese crisis, which was raging, and the Kuomintang had been shouting and shouting for almost a year, but the knife had never fallen, and Britain had repeatedly said that the sovereignty of a free country would not be trampled on! But when Germany annexed Austria, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania and Latvia, and when Italy invaded Abenesia, did it not see the British Empire come forward? Will they go to war against China, Germany, two powerful imperialist powers, for a small Asian country thousands of miles away?

Perhaps it was the bystander Qing, Zhou Elai saw through the essence of Britain at the first time with his keen eye, and they would not go to war with China to defend Siam at all! Perhaps Siam was just a tool to attract China's attention and draw Luo Yaoguo's attention from Europe back to Asia.

But Britain is now drawing Japan into an alliance with them, seemingly trying to use Japan to contain China and contain China's naval power. However, while this paper "Anglo-Japanese Alliance" tied Japan to the chariot of the British Empire, didn't it tie Britain to the chariot of Japan? If war breaks out between China and Japan over a territorial dispute in the Far East, will it lead to a new world war? I am afraid that this question is difficult to answer, if it were only China, the British would probably not hesitate to support Japan, but there is also a powerful Germany eyeing Europe! That's the trouble of Britain's henchmen.

Zhou Elai sighed slightly, and just wanted to inquire about the construction of political affairs at all levels in the Far Eastern Republic, when the report of Xu Xqian, chief of the General Staff of the GC International Far East Army, rang out outside the door.

"Come in." Zhang Guotao called softly. Xu X pushed the door and walked in, holding a telegram that had just been translated.

"Chairman Zhou, Chairman Zhang." Xu Xqian saluted the two leaders. "Just received a telegram that the counteroffensive of the Soviet Red Army on Leningrad has started in advance!"

"Oh?" Zhou Elai raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly took the telegram in Xu X's hand and read it.
