Chapter 640: Officially declaring war
"Air raids! Air raid! "The rapid sound of the air defense siren continued, and in the spring breeze, it had been spread throughout the north, and the Soviet and Russian soldiers in many military camps had not yet gathered in place, and the B-29 bomber group in the air had already dropped bombs. In addition, the B-17 Flying Fortress and the Ju-88 planes that took off from the air command center of the sub-base were accompanied by a large number of bombs that rained on the heads of the Soviet Russian military camps and other military facilities.
The military facilities of Soviet Russia were not as strict as those of later generations, especially in the interior, and under the deliberate collection of spies, they were quickly marked on the map of the staff headquarters of the vanguard army, and some of the important targets were also marked in the mission of the navigator of the Flying Fortress, which was turning into a sea of fire in the explosion at this time.
"Damn, there's a rebellion?" When many Russian soldiers in the Ural Military District held their heads to avoid the shrapnel and debris rolled up by the bomb impact, the Russian officers cursed loudly while desperately contacting their superiors.
They had no idea that a bomb could fall on their heads, and it was impossible for the enemy team attacking from the east or west to hit them directly.
The Ural Military District has always been one of the main logistics and training bases of Soviet Russia, mainly for the supply of the Far East before World War II, and after the start of the Soviet-German war, it became the rear of Soviet Russia. Who would have thought that the big rear would be bombed by opponents? Many officers suddenly thought of all sorts of things that could be faintly heard during the Great Cleanup.
"Could it be that the army was involved in the rebellion?" In the process of the great clean-up, so many officers were purged, and it was not that there were no rebellions, but the scale was not large, and they were all quickly suppressed, which was not as great as the influence of the nation, and it was not known to the ordinary people and soldiers. But this could not be concealed from the well-informed officers, who also knew all kinds of problems in the army, and it was not uncommon for them to explode like powder kegs, so at first they directly guessed about civil strife.
"It's not civil strife, it's an enemy invasion!" In the midst of the chaos, a well-informed person exclaimed.
The actions of the vanguard army were naturally known to Soviet Russia, although many telephone and telegraph lines were cut off, and even radio signals were disturbed, but as time went by, some Soviet Russians still knew about it. Of course, a few people know and direct the entire military system to function well is another concept.
"Oh God! Who are our enemies? German? Or people? "A lot of people were shocked with the news. They were impressed by the movement in Europe, and the threat from Germany could be felt by sensible people. Man is just a habitual enemy of Soviet Russia and blurts it out.
"It's a Chinese person!" In the dawn of dawn, under the light of the skyrocketing fire, the vanguard logo on those bombers was clearly visible through the telescope, especially when the Ju-88 was diving, the naked eye could see the five yellow five-pointed stars.
"Aren't the Chinese here? Hasn't our army already repelled their aggression? Where did their planes come from? "Some people's sluggish consciousness has remained in the iron horn of the propaganda department of Soviet Russia.
"Huaxia? Impossible, right? It's okay for them to fly kites with braids, how can those savage yellow-skinned monkeys have so many planes? "There are even more people who are still stuck in the legends of n years ago.
Comparatively speaking, those high-ranking officers know better.
Even if some means of communication fail, it is impossible for the entire communication system to be cut off, and the details were first learned by high-ranking officers when the war began.
The commander-in-chief of the Ura Military District, Lieutenant General Yershakov, was communicating with the commander-in-chief of the Siberian Military District, Lieutenant General Kalinin.
"Despicable Chinese, this is an undeclared war!" Yershakov said angrily. His subordinates' communication was not working, but the news he received was all bad news, which made him anxious.
"It seems that there is already an official war letter. However, you know that the Chinese people now have several governments, and such a declaration of war is not very formal! Kalinin said helplessly.
Such a thing as war must not be careless. It needs to be considered in all aspects, and even if there are various pretexts for war, there needs to be a high-sounding casus belli. Although there are many sneak attack classics in war, it is still easy to be criticized for not declaring a vicious war, and even if people attack Pearl Harbor, they have to submit a war report and start a war at the same time.
Of course, fierce men like the Germans are another matter, and the Soviet-German war was obscured by the fog of history There are too many doubts.
In order to take the initiative in Huaxia in the future, Meng Xiang also needs to get used to it.
The reason why war has not yet been declared on people is because the initiative has not been in the hands of Meng Xiang, and the central government has always been the central party. Now that the new government has been drafted, it has not yet been recognized by other countries, but it does not prevent the first war letter from coming in accordance with the rules.
It is very simple to send out a war letter, whether it is from home or abroad, and the simple research that has given future generations a headache for a hundred years has fed a large group of sophisticated parties.
The first bill of the new parliament, which had just been formed, was the question of recovering the lost land of the country. It involved people and Soviet Russia, which was entangled in Outer Mongolia.
In the face of justice, the bill was quickly passed. Not many people cared about the words explained above about defending the land and recovering the lost territory, and not hesitating to fight, and almost everyone thought that it was aimed at Outer Mongolia. Occasionally, a few people contacted the treaty to eliminate inequality, but they didn't expect Meng Xiang to be so big.
Even Stalin did not think of it.
Meng Xiang's handwritten letter was delivered to Stalin, who couldn't help but laugh disdainfully when he saw that the letter calling for the abolition of the unequal treaties also contained Lenin's promises. Lenin's proposal to abolish the unequal treaty between White Russia and China was, of course, conditional, and required the Beiyang government at that time to recognize Soviet Russia and conclude a friendly neighbor. More importantly, delays were adopted in order to alleviate the dire situation at the time.
Both sides understand what is going on with such a thing, but Lenin's words are also a small tail that cannot be shaken off by the Chinese.
"The Russian people will not promise to give up every inch of the Union!" Stalin, who already felt that he had survived the crisis, replied strongly.
"It's ours, it's always ours. We'll get it back! "The message from the vanguard army was also tough.
But Stalin criticized it with a red pen as a big "impossible" on it.
The ensuing negotiations and correspondence between the two sides became more and more intense, and the relations between the two sides became more and more tense, and in addition to the uninterrupted artillery fire in Outer Mongolia, friction and skirmishes began to appear in the unequal areas of Central Asia and other places.
The friction and the toughness of the attitude of both sides eventually drained the patience of both sides.
Meng Xiang, who felt that the time was ripe, issued an ultimatum on May 10, with only a short sentence:
"War or peace?"
It is said that when Stalin saw this message, he only pondered for a moment, and then under the interpretation of the translator, he put a red tick on the two Chinese characters for "war".
As a result, the Vanguard Army's official declaration of war was delivered to Red Square at 5 p.m. on May 10.
"Which government are you?" When Molotov, who had just received the relief of the crisis from Germany, received the war letter, he asked knowingly.
At this time, there were three governments in China, all of which claimed to represent China, one was the Central Party government in Chongqing, the other was the Wang puppet regime that had retreated to Guangzhou, and the last was the newly established vanguard military government.
Meng Xiang, who had not yet completely controlled the situation, did not rashly change the name of the country, but still continued the old name, and took advantage of the original constitutional provisions to form a new parliament, kick the Central Party away, and establish a new government.
As for the use of the old name, the base has not responded for the time being, according to Xiaohua's explanation, before the moment of strict control by the Space-Time Authority in 49, the old name did not have much impact on the disturbance of the historical process. Meng Xiang didn't want to get into a domestic dispute over a name, and he needed to use this to control the situation, so he didn't change it recklessly, and continued to hold on to the old name.
Except for the negligible Wang puppet regime, it collided with the Central Party, which was recognized by various countries.
Undoubtedly, the new government of the vanguard army, except for the recognition of Germany and its younger brothers, including the Soviet Russians, has never recognized it, which is why Molotov said this, and there is no lack of irony.
"Since ancient times, there has only been one China, and it is naturally the government of China, a democratic government elected by the Chinese people by universal suffrage!" Jiang Tinghuang, who once again served as ambassador to Soviet Russia, replied proudly. Although there were some flaws in this parliamentary election, it was indeed universally suffrage.
Molotov smiled dryly, took the battle book, opened it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
There are only two Chinese characters written by Meng Xiang himself on the battle book: "Go to war!" β
In the face of Stalin's arrogance, Meng Xiang felt that the words "If you want to fight, then fight" were too verbose, and the two words directly ignited the beacon fire of this war.
Although the Russians did not think much of this on the surface, they reminded the troops on the border overnight that they had entered the first level of combat readiness, and overnight they dispatched troops to deploy troops to the border. Especially in Central Asia and other regions, on the contrary, the Far East and other regions have gathered because of the war in Outer Mongolia, and a large area of the border line is separated from the puppet Manchuria.
So the Siberian Military District, having received a notice from above, is not as confused as the Ural Military District, and does not know who the enemy is. But who would have thought that the Chinese would directly attack the rear of Soviet Russia.
In fact, not only the Ural Military District, but even the Siberian Military District, when hundreds of bombers began to light the drums of war, the notice of combat readiness was still in the desk drawer.
Until the beginning of the war, many Russian soldiers did not know who their enemies were. Of course, they didn't know which way their guns were shooting, because they could only look at the planes of the vanguard. roοΌ
