In order to bring back the Japanese intervention force, the current commander of the intervention force, General Shirakawa Yoshinori, took a Chinese airship convoy and forcibly flew through China's Xinjiang to Almaty.

After resting for two days on the shores of Lake Balkhash, the Sino-Japanese forces and their accompanying herdsmen set out eastward, bypassing the crescent-shaped Lake Balkhash and carrying their cumbersome machines along the desolate neighbourhood towards Almaty. For the more than 70,000 Japanese intervention troops of the same sex, Wang Maoru did not provide them as if he was an uncle, but sent them to replace Li Pinxian's troops as a crusade team to crusade against those of various ethnic groups who were disobedient or had different intentions. The military discipline of the Japanese was much worse than that of the squadron, and the places they passed were like locusts crossing the border, which attracted the great hatred of the countries in the Western Regions.

The most important reason why the Japanese were so ruthless was that Wang Maoru was only responsible for their very small supplies, and most of the Japanese supplies could only be obtained by looting. And because little Japan was beaten too badly by the Russians on the front line, its revenge against the Caucasian race became even stricter, and for the Central Asian race, in the eyes of the yellow race, they were indeed Caucasians. Later, the tribes learned that as long as the five-color flag of the Chinese was planted in the town, the Japanese would not take the initiative to harass, and the flag of Soviet Russia or Tsarist Russia would provoke the Japanese to loot, so they made many flags of the Republic of China at their doorsteps to prevent the Japanese from coming.

The Japanese are really suitable for the role of this kind of hunting dog, if they let them go down first, they will harass the residents carried by Wang Maoru, it is better to let them fight the unruly Kazakhs.

After crossing Lake Balkhash, Wang Maoru consulted with the Japanese intervention forces. The four divisions of the Japanese Intervention Army were divided into two parts, one composed of two divisions to form a northbound expeditionary team, and the other to a southbound expeditionary team. The targets of the expedition to the north were Tardikul, the East Kazakh divisions, Akzar, Semipalatinsk and other areas in the northeastern part of China. The targets of the southbound expedition are: Birkek, Issyk-Kul, Jalabad, and Narun. Namangan and other areas in the southwestern part of China.

In fact, the Japanese were reluctant to go on the expedition only because they needed supplies to return to Japan, and the Outer Northwest was the territory of the Chinese, and their burning and looting in the Outer Northwest was equivalent to killing the Chinese, in retaliation for the hatred of the Chinese who did not want them to provide supplies. Wang Maoru also used their (Japanese) hands to eradicate all hostile forces in the Outer Northwest, especially the extremist religious forces, and these people's resistance was the most fierce and severe. By the hands of the Japanese, these strong nationalists in the Outer Northwest were eliminated. It is also a plan to kill people with a knife.

Wang Maoru brought all the 300,000 refugees to the rich grasslands of the northwest, the richest land in the west. The Russians occupied the area because of the fertile climate, and now it is once again in the arms of the Chinese. Wang Maoru seized the opportunity to order the entire Outer Northwest to build five-color flags, and planted five-color flags symbolizing the Chinese government in all major areas, indicating to the people of all ethnic groups in the outer northwest that this is Chinese territory.

Of course, the Kazakh states in the outer northwest immediately made the wisest choice, to submit to China and remain in the steppe. Wang Maoru's recovery of the Outer Northwest did not make a statement, but quietly proceeded. Although the "Soviet-Chinese Secret Treaty" made provisions for the return of the Northwest to China, after all, Soviet Russia was still under international sanctions, and it did not occupy the entire territory. Cannot represent Russia. Wang Maoru waited, waiting for the news of the defeat of Tsarist Russia. Only when Tsarist Russia was defeated could he brazenly announce the recovery of the Outer Northwest -- of course, this was also a gamble, and the bet was that Russia had been beaten into a mess, and the domestic economy and people's livelihood were in tatters, and Soviet Russia could not afford to expand outward, so he could only choose to compromise and win a short respite for China.

Life is a gamble. The national fortune is also a gamble, Wang Maoru could only think helplessly.

During this period, an interesting incident happened, a group of yellow people who claimed to be Dungan suddenly ran over and asked to join Wang Maoru's team. After his understanding, he learned that this group of Dungan people was actually the Qing Dynasty, and they were the Hui people of Shaanxi who rebelled during the Qianlong period. Because of the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, they had to flee to Central Asia for refuge and settled in Central Asia from then on. Wang Maoru welcomed them under his banner, but rejected the idea that they wanted to be soldiers, arguing that there was no need for so many soldiers now.

The new commander of the Japanese Intervention Army, General Yoshinori Shirakawa, arrived in Almaty, which had just been occupied by the Chinese, with the newly formed Second Airship Transport Brigade of the Northeast Army.

Almaty, the place where the ancient Chinese Silk Road passed, is also known as the Apple City because of the production of apples here. Almaty was known as Gurban Alimatu in the Qing Dynasty, and in 1854 a group of Cossacks occupied the place and named it Zelisiqi, which was later renamed the city of Vonny. In 1864, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing was used to force China to cut off the Outer Northwest from China and become the capital of East Turkestan of the Russian Empire, which was later renamed Almaty, which was customarily called by the locals. In 1911, a major earthquake struck Almaty, destroying the entire city, killing and wounding 200,000 people, and only one Orthodox church remained in the city. Now, just eight years after the earthquake, Almaty is still dead, and the new Almaty built on the basis of the earthquake cannot be compared with the original city with a population of nearly 300,000.

After the squadron arrived in Almaty, the former Almaty Soviet government was immediately dissolved, and many people were ordered by Moscow to move to other places. Therefore, the squadron did not meet resistance and took over the city very smoothly.

After arriving in Almaty, the 2nd Airship Transport Brigade unloaded a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and when it returned, it also carried many aircraft off the train and transported them back by air.

Wang Maoru warmly welcomed the arrival of General Yoshinori Shirakawa, along with Wang Maoru's two "old friends" Suzuki Seitaro and Okamura Ninji. Seitaro Suzuki is now the interpreter and secretary of General Yoshinori Shirakawa, while Ninji Okamura is the translator and staff officer, both of whom have lived in China for a long time and know the Chinese language and habits very well, especially the Chinese more thoroughly.

Wang Maoru smiled when he saw the two of them and said, "It's been five years since I said goodbye, but I didn't expect to see the two of them here again." ”

Okamura Ninji hurriedly said, "Marshal, you are still so amiable, I am very happy to see you again." Then he served as an interpreter for Shirakawa Yoshinori, and Shirakawa Yoshinori proposed to take over the Japanese intervention army, Wang Maoru said that he could immediately arrange for him to go to receive, but now the Japanese intervention army has divided into two teams to sweep and crusade to the south and north respectively, and it is estimated that they will return soon, and the general Baichuan can go immediately, or wait for them to come back.

General Shirakawa Yoshinori thought about it, since the army was no longer in any danger, it was better to let them come back after the sweep, and said that he would wait for the return of the Japanese army in Almaty.

Later, Wang Maoru and Shirakawa Yoshinori had many talks about the intervention of the intervention army against Russia, and according to the actual situation, the two sides had serious exchanges, believing that the Russians would have the advantage in the coming winter, so it was wise to withdraw their troops before the winter came. Due to the impact of the defeat of the Volga Army, the Japanese army suffered more than 50,000 men in the final intervention against Russia, and only 77,000 people came back from the four reinforced divisions with a total of more than 110,000 people. This could not but make the Japanese fear of Soviet Russia in their hearts.

The squadron also suffered heavy losses, but because the Chinese did not encircle when the battle was led, the losses were not as good as the Japanese, 20,000 Chinese soldiers were killed in Russia, more than 30,000 soldiers were wounded, and more than 10,000 soldiers returned to the rear to recuperate. At the same time, because of the timely replenishment, the total strength and combat effectiveness have not decreased much.

Shirakawa Yoshinori said: "China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, and you saved the Japanese army in this battle, and I am very grateful to you on behalf of the Japanese government." Wang Sang, you are a true friend of the Japanese, and the Japanese government has decided to support you and hopes that you will become the supreme leader of China. ”

Wang Maoru was not excited, but smiled slightly: "Compared to me, I think there is a person who is more suitable." ”

"Who?"

"Mr. Sun Wensun."

Bai Chuanyi shook his head and said, "No, Wang Sang, Sun Wensang is just an idealist, he is not a qualified leader. I can say that if Sun Wensang is the head of China, some of his naïve ideas will lead China into the abyss. ”

Wang Maoru thinks that you Japanese really have studied him thoroughly, so you used to support him in a hurry to fight against the Beiyang government to split China, and you little Japan didn't have a good heart. Thinking of this, he felt that there was something in Shirakawa Yoshinori's words, supporting himself as a leader, could it be that little Japan's strategy towards China has changed? Has the Yuan Jing cabinet changed from supporting itself and confronting Duan Qirui to only supporting himself? He frowned, and hummed: "Sun Wen is one of the Chinese I admire the most, and it is precisely because of his naivety, to be honest, that China is turbulent because there are too many not naïve and too complicated careerists." ”

Shirakawa Yoshinori stretched out his thumb and said, "Wang Sang, you are really a calm person. But I would like to reiterate my point of view, if you are the leader, China will definitely go on a strong path, and I hope that you can think about your motherland. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said that drinking and drinking, whether Japanese or Chinese, we are all good friends. When these words are spoken, it can only show the cheekiness of the political family, and everyone knows that China and Japan are mortal enemies and cannot become good friends.

In the evening, Wang Maoru was used to returning to the command car, and when he saw Ma Liang standing aside with a strange expression, he said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing."

"Nothing? There's nothing like you. Wang Maoru opened the car door and walked up, but saw a back, he immediately put his hand on the pistol and said sharply: "Who?" "Extremely surprised that someone assassinated?

The man turned around, looked at him playfully, and said, "It's me." ”

Wang Maoru opened his mouth in disbelief, looked at her like this, was moved in surprise, and said half-loudly: "Qiuyue, you ...... What are you doing here? How did you get here? ”
