Chapter 913: Supporting Afghanistan Against the British

Many Jews and Russians who remained in China were convinced that the Russian government would not abandon them and that their greatest supporter, Marshal Trotsky, would save these Jewish merchants. What these Russians in China, who were eager to return to Russia, did not know was that Trotsky was about to be in great trouble.

The day after the Kremlin issued a call for Russians abroad, Stalin contacted Bukharin, Zinoviev, Kamenev, and Rykov to secretly discuss how to counterbalance and seize Marshal Trotsky, who was very likely to become the next great dictator. But the seizure of power required a pretext, and this excuse soon came, and Trotsky, despite the opposition of other generals, prepared to retake by force Lake Balkhash in Central Asia, which had become a Chinese taboo.

In order to confront Trotsky, Zinoviev made a rare secret radio to convey the news of Trotsky's decision to recover Central Asia by force to Wang Maoru in a timely manner.

After Wang Maoru learned about it, the results of the analysis between the secret channel and the Ministry of National Defense of our country were really consistent, but fortunately, the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense had already dealt with it. He immediately sent a telegram to Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan in the Western Regions, saying that the Eastern Group Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army was preparing to formally invade Central Asia, so that they could prepare for battle, and at the same time, Soviet Russia would definitely find all kinds of excuses, and if the Soviet Russian army provoked, our army could strike first and never tolerate the retreat.

All the troops of the National Defense Force were mobilized again, and Wang Maoru once again ordered that Ren Yuanxing be promoted to the post of commander of the Western Regions Military Region and commander of the White Tiger Legion, and Zhu Yongquan concurrently served as the chief of the general staff of the Western Regions Military Region, and the Western Regions Military Region had jurisdiction over the White Tiger Legion, the Jiaolong Legion, the Yellow Dragon Legion, the militia of Xinjiang, Taixi, and Anxi provinces, the armed police, and the garrison troops, with a total strength of 440,000 troops.

Wang Maoru knew the Soviet army's combat methods, the brave and fearless infantry charge, the high combination of heavy artillery and tidal cavalry, and the only way to defeat the Soviet Russian army at this time was to have more artillery than them, more firepower than them, and more courageous than them. Orientals do not lack the spirit of sacrifice. There is no shortage of wise men, it's just that the Eastern Wars of the past have not yet realized the importance of artillery. The Chinese National Defense Force, which is gradually integrating with the world, also has ambitions at this time, and has the ambition to break hands with this old Mao Zi who once caused serious harm to China.

Chief of Staff Yongxing Baojian said that there are now nearly 7,000 retired German noncommissioned officers in China, or they can be transferred to the Western Regions to serve as military instructors and assist in command. Wang Maoru thought it was a good idea to have these German instructors at least how to better understand how to fight the Europeans. Therefore, under the coordination of Yong Xingbao, 1,200 German officers in various units of the Chinese National Defense Force were urgently dispatched to the Western Regions Military Region.

At this time, the military minister He Rufei cautiously said to Wang Maoru: "Nearly half of the country's strength is hoarded in the Western Regions Military Region. In case someone has a bad idea...... Wang Mao Ruyuan didn't feel anything, after He Rufei's reminder, he suddenly became a little worried, thought about it and said: "At this point in the survival of the nation, the Western Regions can't make any mistakes, so we can only choose like this." I believe in them. ”

"If you fight against Soviet Russia, you will recommend Gong Xiaoqi to be the commander of the Western Regions Military Region, and there is no trace of the Russian guerrillas in Nurgan Province where Gong Xiaoqi is stationed, and he has a good reputation in repeated wars against Russia. Among the commanders of our army, Gong Xiaoqi has the most experience in fighting with European armies. He Rufei said, he knew that Gong Xiaoqi was a non-factional candidate, and Gong Xiaoqi served as a more reflective of the way of checks and balances.

This recommended candidate is very much in line with Wang Maoru's thoughts. It's just that the change of generals in the battle is unreasonable, and Wang Mao refuses to do so. Later, He Rufei asked Wang Maoru for instructions, and he hoped to go to the Western Regions Military Region in person to assist Ren Yuanxing in managing logistics. Wang Maoru considered that Ren Yuanxing was born in the Baoding department, although Zhu Yongqiang was born in the Lu family, but Zhu Yongquan was a person who would never get involved in any disputes, and for the sake of balance, it was not impossible to send He Rufei from the Lu family to the Western Regions as a "supervisor", so he allowed He Rufei's request. After He Rufei learned about it. The military affairs headquarters handed over to the military vice minister Xu Youqian, and then he immediately flew to the Western Regions by transport plane. He was accompanied by several hundred German officers, and many more German non-commissioned officers arrived by guò airships.

Wang Maoru talked about this matter with Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen pondered for a while, and said playfully: "Balance is balanced, I am afraid of war, and balance has become a balance." Wang Maoru smiled and said nothing. Jiang Fangzhen suddenly said: "Could it be that Xiushuai is testing him?" Wang Maoru said: "I will test these people, after all, I will resign as Minister of National Defense in a year and a half." Jiang Fangzhen was thoughtful.

As the eldest brother of the Baoding department, Li Delin immediately found Wang Maoru, and also said: "Xiushuai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fly to manage logistics." It may be difficult to reach a tacit understanding between him and Ren Yuanxing. Wang Maoru smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Nothing, nothing, everyone will do their best for the country, and there will never be any barriers." ”

Wang Maoru knew in his heart that with the gradual growth of his officers, the factions were becoming more and more obvious, and he had to stop this gap as soon as possible, and the army could not become a place for factional fighting.

Just as He Rufei was flying to the Western Regions, some countries in the world suddenly recognized that Soviet Russia had come, because after defeating the invading countries in Eastern Europe, Soviet Russia neither attacked the small countries of Eastern Europe, nor extorted any money or territory, and even wrote off the arrears of these effects during the period of Tsarist Russia. European countries began to think that the Soviet Russian Empire was a truly peace-loving country and a trustworthy country, so they began to establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia also expressed a warm welcome to all countries in the world to become friendly neighbors with Soviet Russia.

This makes Americans very depressed, and what makes Americans even more depressed is that the second to recognize the Soviet Russian government is actually the old colonial empire, the British Empire.

Wang Maoru had a hunch that this was related to the expansion of British colonies in India into Central Asia, which now included Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Britain launched four Anglo-Afghan wars that ended in failure, the most recent of which was in the process of supporting the Kingdom of Tsarist Russia, when Britain used the pretext of sending weapons and ammunition supplies to Tsarist Russia in a vain attempt to defeat the Russians. However, Amanullah Khan, the khan of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, rejected the British request for a passage, a move that the British hated.

So the British sent planes to bomb Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, but the invading army formed by Indian soldiers, after entering the mountains of Afghanistan, was immediately attacked by the Afghan royal army, and after a year of fighting, the British had to withdraw from the Kingdom of Afghanistan again.

Britain's second purpose in recognizing Soviet Russia was nothing more than a fifth invasion of Afghanistan, and then into Central Asia to get a piece of the cake. This was also the purpose of Soviet Russia, which wanted to bring Britain into Central Asia and let them fight a big war with the Chinese, so that Soviet Russia could take advantage of the fishermen and take the opportunity to recover it - but now, according to the information sent by Zinoviev, Trotsky ordered the forcible recovery of Central Asia.

At this time, the large army of the remnants of Tsarist Russia finally stopped at Cherkar in the Kazakh Khanate, because they also received a notice and telegram from Soviet Russia - the Russian government pardoned all the crimes of the Russian officers and soldiers and their families, and called on them to return to their homeland and rebuild Russia.

In fact, until the war has been fought, the people who support Tsarist Russia have also changed from the bourgeoisie to the proletariat. And the reason for their stubborn resistance to the end is that they are afraid of recrimination and accountability, and these people would rather die on the way to escape than be locked up in prison and dragged to the river to be stabbed to death with bayonets.

A pardon decree brought the 2 million Russians to a halt hesitantly, and even the refugees in the Chinese-built refugee camps went to each other to discuss whether or not to return to China -- this is not a problem, and many people want to return to China. How is the mentality of the white people living under the rule of the yellow race different from those slaves who have lost their country, and who wants to be a slave who has lost their country?

China's neighbors, Afghanistan and China, were also in trouble, and the British Parliament finally passed a congressional application to decide on a fifth invasion of Afghanistan, and formed fifteen Indian Army divisions and three British expeditionary divisions to prepare to attack Afghanistan in one fell swoop. Afghan Khan Amanullah Khan looked around, the Russians could not quench their thirst, the British were eyeing each other, Iran was in a civil war, the north and east were Turkmen and Kyrgyz, but they had no government, the Kazakh Khanate had a government but no one listened to orders, and even the capital of the Kazakh Khanate, Askana, was occupied by the Chinese.

Looking around Afghanistan, only China is the most stable and has stationed a large army here (in the Western Regions). The British had sent an Indian regiment to infiltrate Kashmir, a disputed territory between China and India, but were all captured by China.

The so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Amanullah Khan immediately sent his father-in-law, Prime Minister Mahmud Begtagir, to Almaty to ask the Chinese for help.

After Ren Yuanxing received the letter from the Afghan envoy, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly found Zhu Yongquan to discuss how to deal with it, Zhu Yongquan said: "It seems that Britain is ready to make another move in Central Asia, the British have been eyeing Tibet and the south of our country, Afghanistan cannot withstand the fifth attack, if we don't help them now, it will hurt us." ”

Ren Yuanxing nodded and said, "Okay, report to Xiushuai." ”

Wang Maoru's reply was very simple, with only one sentence: "Borrow the Afghan scimitar to cut off the British tentacles, fuck the British, fuck it!" ”

When Prime Minister Tagil secretly arrived in Almaty, Ren Yuanxing gave him a warm welcome, Tagil watched the actual combat performance of the Wehrmacht and praised the combat effectiveness of the squadron, hoping that the Chinese Defense Forces could send soldiers into Afghanistan as instructors to give more support to the Afghan Kingdom, Ren Yuanxing agreed to these enthusiastic Pashtuns one by one. Of course, the premise is that there must be money, there is no free lunch in the world, Tagil patted his chest and said: "Money, it's not a problem, we can demolish all the golden Buddhas in the Kingdom of Afghanistan as a commission."
