Chapter 593 Central Asia

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that Soviet Russia may have reacted in the northwest!" Meng Xiang's trance lasted for a day, and it was not until Fan Chong ignored Meng Xiang's weird smile in several reports that he was continuously reminded and questioned before the military committee meeting in the evening, that Meng Xiang woke up, restrained his thoughts, and responded indifferently to other humanitarians.

Although everyone had doubts and speculations in their hearts, they did not mention it again.

And Rat Er also appropriately sent the latest information about Soviet Russia, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Soviet Russia has really begun to operate in the northwest! The Soviet Russian Central Asian Military District was frequently moved, and it is estimated that they will come from the northwest to put pressure on us and force us to give up the foreign military districts. What's more, they may further control Anxi, Beiting and other places. Fan Chong frowned slightly, pinched his chin and looked at the various signs on the map and muttered.

Soon after the vanguard army was stationed, it was already divided into two provinces with the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, which were named Anxi Province and Beiting Province respectively, which were quoted from the names of Anxi and Beiting Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. As for Central Asia further west, it can also be named after a few names drawn from the history of China at any time in the future.

"Even the North Caucasus Military District of Soviet Russia is frequently mobilizing troops, although the focus of their defense is still on the Germans, but they also need to embankment their troops to reinforce them! However, the strength of the Turkestan Military District alone gives us a headache! Jiang Baili reminded beside him. The Turkestan Military District he was talking about was the Central Asian Military District, and in 26 years, the Turkestan Military District at that time was changed to the title of the Central Asian Military District. Jiang Baili was more familiar with the name Turkestan and said it casually. Everyone also knew that the two were the same, even Meng Xiang didn't care because he knew the situation in Central Asia and knew all of this.

"The Central Asian Military District is really strong. They are known for their mountain infantry and mountain cavalry, and are more adapted to such an environment in the Northwest Territories. Yang Jie also nodded and said. He took refuge in Nanjing before recovering Nanjing. This time the battle against the Soviet Union was very important, and even Jiang Baili and other military advisers were involved. Although Yang Jie has not yet confirmed his specific position, he has also joined the staff as soon as the hat of the military adviser is buttoned.

The name of the military adviser of the vanguard army is not given casually, and the power is very large, and the military advisory group can directly participate in the designation of military plans. This is also to give some comfort to those old people who have joined the military advisory group. At the same time, it also facilitated the placement of some posts in the vanguard army.

For example, if Jiang Baili, the great god, has to be arranged, Fan Chong naturally wants to be virtuous. Yang Jie's new investment is also more troublesome to arrange. Some other warlord figures, if they are not easy to arrange, also stuff them inside. If Yan Xishan hadn't been engaged in the economy, I'm afraid he would have to be arranged here.

"The son is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, fight hard with him a few times, he is even more afraid than us!" Wu Peifu was holding on to his crutches, but his waist was sitting straight, and he was full of energy. He usually doesn't participate much in ordinary meetings, but against Soviet Russia, he is full of energy. Although he is very old and is close to his prime, he still came from Beiping to attend this meeting in person. If it weren't for Meng Xiang's persuasion, I'm afraid he would have wanted to go directly to the front line of Waiméng to have a command addiction.

At that time, he had played against Soviet Russia, and he also had a good understanding of some of the situation in Soviet Russia, and often talked about his experience. Although the mode of warfare is gradually changing, the knowledge of climate, hydrology, vegetation and other geographical aspects is very useful.

Not only him, but also some people who studied Soviet Russia in China were invited. For example, Chen Yi and Chen Shike, who were stationed in Kulun back then, also went out of the mountain after the search of the vanguard army to provide some references for foreign operations.

Some people from other forces who studied in Soviet Russia later joined the vanguard army, and their references and opinions were also a good reference and supplement to the intelligence collected by the spy agents.

Like maritime intelligence, spies in Britain and archives also stole relevant information about Soviet Russia. In particular, those who have always regarded Soviet Russia as an imaginary enemy have extraordinarily detailed information on Soviet Russia, from military to economic and cultural, from rural geography to folk customs.

Although the vanguard army's intelligence on Soviet Russia has been started according to Meng Xiang's arrangement since 37 years, it is still not as detailed as the massive amount of information of people.

In addition, the Germans also carefully studied Soviet and Russian intelligence in great detail. Although it was mainly in the European part, it was also a useful supplement to the intelligence of the vanguard in other aspects such as economic and military organization. The clone spies would not spare the Germans either. As for some more covert intelligence, perhaps the spies are not high-level enough to have access to it, but the vanguard army can also get a more comprehensive picture through intelligence exchange.

At present, the intelligence of the vanguard army is mainly based on the detailed information of Japan, Germany, Britain, and other countries, and has been supplemented and modified by spies over the past few years. Later, the declassified intelligence on the forum was often used as some supplements and embellishments, and became the basis of the intelligence source for the vanguard army to deal with Soviet Russia.

"Neither can we take it lightly!" Yang Jie frowned, glanced at Meng Xiang and said, "According to our intelligence, the strength of the Central Asian Military Region of Soviet Russia is still very strong. At that time, Frunze was a commander, laid a good foundation, and has always been valued by the high-level of Soviet Russia. Coupled with the influence of our Chinese garrison in the northwest, their military strength has also been significantly strengthened. At this time, the Central Asian Military Region was under the jurisdiction of the 4th Cavalry Corps, the 27th Mechanized Corps, the 58th Infantry Corps and the 238th Independent Bōlan Infantry Division, as well as a large number of local troops and air force units. The 21st Army of the Volga Military District may also have to be transferred to the Central Asian Military District, while we have only two corps in the northwest, guarding Anxi and Beiting respectively, which looks a little thin. ”

At this time in the northern Xinjiang region,

At this time, I am afraid that the attention is still focused on the Germans. The Germans' plan to attack Soviet Russia was probably already prepared, and they did not dare to take it lightly. Although the Central Asian Military Region has constantly transferred troops and dispatched troops, it is mainly bluffing, and they do not dare to fall into our northwest. Otherwise, once there is a war in the Caucasus, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to mobilize reinforcements! Meng Xiang had already come to his senses at this time, and said in an unhurried deep voice.

"The Germans have stabilized the Greek order, their armies in North Africa are also victorious, Syria has fallen to the Germans, and the Turks have deviated from their neutrality tendencies, they are fighting fiercely among themselves, and the opinions in favor of the Germans are getting louder and louder. Although the Central Asian Military District controls Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, once there is a war in the Caucasus, I am afraid that it will also be dominated by the Caucasus. After all, the center of gravity of the political economy of the Russians was still in Europe. Fan Chong then explained the topic of Meng Xiang. In terms of intelligence, he knows more than Yang Jie and others.

At this time, Central Asia was not as prosperous as in later generations, many places were desolate, and Stalin had moved many Central Asian peoples to Siberia and other places during the Great Purge, and moved the Caucasus and a large number of Russians over. In particular, the Russians who had been affected by the purge were sent to the inhospitable part of Central Asia.

Although Central Asia once blossomed as a bright flower of civilization in the exchange of influence between the East and the West, it has always been on the edge of Eastern and Western civilizations, and most of the area is desolate and undeveloped except for some towns. It was not until the fifties and sixties, when Khrushchev issued a call for development, that Central Asia became the breadbasket and industrial center of the Soviet Union.

At this time, the cultivated land was still at the scale of 100 million mu, and it had not yet reached the scale of more than 600 million mu of granary after large-scale reclamation in later generations. Central Asia is also dominated by animal husbandry, Karaganda and other iron and steel factories have not yet been built, and copper, lead, zinc, chromium, silver, tungsten, bismuth and other metals that once ranked first in Soviet Russia are still buried under this land, which was later called one of the world's rich places of sè metal, and has not been mined.

Not to mention anything else, while the gold reserves of the world's gold mines are only more than 50,000 tons, only in the South Tien Shan Mountains of Uzbekistan, there are as many as 5,000 tons of super-giant Mulongtau gold mines that will not be discovered until the 50s.

The world-class oil and gas soft gold near the Caspian Sea and in the Uzbek desert region has only left a small place on the Caspian Sea coast at this time, and is far from being explored.

As in Siberia, many parts of this land are in a state of méng famine, and where can the Central Asians, who have not yet been at peace during the clean-up, take care of this? At this time, the center of Soviet Russia was still in Europe, and even if Soviet Russia was moving its industrial base to the east for security, it was only moving to the vicinity of the Urals.

"So much uncultivated land is waiting for us to conquer! The civilization of China will cover that piece of wild land, and we will build a new central kingdom on the basis of the past glory of the Han and Tang Empires! Meng Xiang's mind kept flashing the information of Central Asia and other lands that he was intoxicated with for a while, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart. RO@。
