Just left Yekaterinburg so lightly, and those squadrons in the city did not pursue? Kolchak, who had deployed a number of broken troops along the way, was somewhat incomprehensible about this. In fact, it was not only him, but even some other generals in his army were a little confused.

It should be said that because the Chinese are timid, they dare to make the feat of running thousands of kilometers and then dividing the whole of Russia in two. To say that the other party's strength is impaired? How strong the firepower of the implosion in the city was during the siege some time ago, Kolchak and they remember it clearly...

During the offensive, the Russian army had to pay hundreds of casualties almost every minute, which was definitely not something that a strong and capable force could do.

So in the end, Kolchak they could only think that the Chinese in the city had already taken Yekaterinburg and there was no need to continue to take risks, so they did not chase out this reason to comfort themselves, and returned to the front line of the battlefield to fight with the Soviet Russian Red Army, planning to wait for the coalition forces to solve the Soviet Russian Red Army, and then turn around and let these 'despicable' yellow-skinned monkeys who 'stabbed' them in the back pay the due price...

Of course, when he led the troops to leave, Kolchak didn't know that he probably didn't have such a chance in his life...

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, after teaching Kolchak's White Army a lesson, it is inevitable that the officers at all levels in the army group will be a little incomprehensible if they let Kolchak go so lightly. After all, Kolchak's troops are only relatively numerous, and their strength is not very strong, in their opinion, even if they can't swallow all of Kolchak's soldiers and horses in one go, it is no problem to swallow most of them.

And in the case that almost everyone did not think that the Soviet Russian Red Army could withstand the siege of several forces, in order to prevent the Russians from fighting for Yekaterinburg and Siberia again in the future, it was absolutely necessary to destroy a part of the Russian ** team first.

Let alone...

If a soldier wants to be promoted, he must have merit that he can do so.

When Wu Peifu first went to Europe, he was just a division commander, at most he was a more important division commander. Why did he become the commander of the corps after his return, and even the deputy commander of the First Army Group? Isn't it because he fought well when he was in Europe...

Isn't there a saying that says? 'Soldiers, you need to prove yourself on the battlefield. One of the reasons why they are so active in this westward expansion strategy is that they hope to fight more battles and make some merits, so that they can be promoted in the future.

And after taking Yekaterinburg, the battle was actually almost fought. There are even a few of the rest. It is only such a trivial battle as the elimination of guerrillas―――――― the population of Siberia is too small, the population of the huge Siberia is only 8 million, and even if there is a guerrilla group in 100 people, it is only 80,000 people, not to mention that there is no way to have such a high number. Moreover, with such a large area of Siberia, even if there are guerrillas, how much can there be around a town?

Unlike behind enemy lines in China in history, where there are ordinary people everywhere as cover, and the huge population also has a huge source of replenishment, the difference between the two is really too great.

And so, when Kolchak they sent to the door. These people almost regard them as mobile feats, who would think...

――――――――――――――――――――

Just when the officers and generals at all levels were puzzled, and even planned to run to Cai Ng, seeing that the army's heart was a little unstable, Cai Que took out Yan Shaolai's telegram in a timely manner, which was his biggest trump card for Cai Ng.

At the same time, looking at the telegram signed by Yan Shao in Cai Yi's hand. These people are quiet...

At this time in China, whether it is the army or the government, Yan Shao has a very high reputation, especially in the people, Yan Shao is almost close to the gods―――――― at least in the countryside, with a large reduction of excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and a large number of corrupt officials were taken away by the Ministry of Integrity and the Ministry of Justice. Yan Shao has been regarded by many people as a 'bodhisattva'-like figure...

In some villages, Yan Shao's immortal card is even more common in almost every family...

Of course, it's hard to say whether this thing is useful or not, after all, there are still many famous ministers who have been set up for this thing in history. But will it end......... But not all of them are pretty...

In fact, if you give Yan Shao another ten years, I'm afraid it will not be just almost, but in the real sense...

In any case, Yan Shao had a very high prestige in the army, and this prestige was greatly increased after the westward expansion plan came to an end. Even a general like Cai Yi, who has a sharp prestige in the army, can't compare with Yan Shao, so after learning that this is what Yan Shao meant, these officers retreated...

It's just that...

Even if they chose to retreat because of Yan Shao's relationship, these people still don't understand why they let Kolchak and them leave so safely, which is too 'polite'...

On the other hand, looking at the expressions of these generals and officers in front of him, Cai Yi sighed at Yan Shao's influence on the army, and the whimsy of those guys in the Congress who wanted to restrict Yan Shao's rights, and at the same time, he was a little confused about Yan Shao's true intentions.

But there is one thing that Cai Ye is very clear, that is, there must be some secret plan behind Yan Shao that cannot be sued against them...

The reason why Cai Yi guessed this way is because Yan Shao has done this many times in the past, and from a certain point of view, it seems that the effect is not bad?

Far from it, the nearest Dilan railway. When Yan Shao insisted on building this railway, almost everyone was against it, and even the military was against spending so much money to build a railway that would not be of much use in a short period of time―――――― "Wouldn't it be better to have the money to build the railway, and buy a few more heavy guns (a few warships) for the army?!" This was the attitude of the military towards this railway at that time.

However, the subsequent collapse of the Romanov dynasty proved Yan Shao's foresight when he built the railway―――――― more precisely, as Yan Shao said. "It's not that I know that Tsarist Russia will perish, but because I need it to perish..."

When he learned that Yan Shao was behind the fall of Tsarist Russia and the rise of the Red Army in Soviet Russia, even Ru Cai felt a little chilled.

Considering all the things that have happened in the past, it really can't help but make Cai Ye wonder if there is any plan of Yan Shao in this. If there is really any huge plan, of course Cai Ye will not be willing to affect the entire plan of the country for the sake of some military merits...

Therefore, after the material resources in the rear were continuously sent, Cai Ye quickly adopted the strategy of 'accumulating grain and building a high wall'―――――― of course. Slow to call the king is definitely not, after getting out of the logistics support in the rear, Cai Ye does not have this ability...

However, after Kolchak and the others left, Cai Ye and his Wehrmacht officers and soldiers finally had some time to deal with some more important matters.

In just one month, Cai Ye relied on cement and other materials sent from the rear to build an extremely strong defensive line in Yekaterinburg and its periphery, although it was not as good as Verdun in France. But at least Kolchak's troops alone could no longer shake the entire front, especially the few concrete fortifications on the front line, which were absolutely helpless unless they were heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 28omm.

At the same time, a domestic train is departing for Yekaterinburg.

In addition to some supplies that were urgently needed on the front line. There were also a few very special passengers―――――― some engineers from the Ministry of Urban Construction.

Somewhat different from ordinary engineers, they designed not ordinary buildings, but sturdy fortress buildings.

This is not surprising, in later generations, perhaps the so-called fortresses have become somewhat outdated. But in this era, fortress buildings are still very practical, especially at a time when the practicality of the air force and armored forces is not very strong. A strong fortress is enough to keep all enemies out of it...

What's more, what they plan to build this time is not just an ordinary fortress...

Their aim was to turn Yekaterinburg, once a major transportation route, into an extremely fortified fortress, and to become a fortress for China to defend against white attacks or a bridgehead for attacking Europe...

Not only will the entire fortress have a strong defensive line on the perimeter, but even some of the buildings inside the fortress will be designed according to wartime standards. For example, some buildings that were originally inhabited will have some dark layers for the Heavy, as well as a large number of dark tunnels or bunker buildings that are not surprisingly apparent. All the troops who break through the perimeter and enter the city will be like hell...

Thankfully, it seems easier to build a city that has been reduced to ruins by artillery fire into a fortress than to transform an old city into a fortress. In addition, there is continuous good news from the front line, so these engineers on the train are all on the train with a relatively relaxed mentality...

Even in the special compartments of the train, they were even arguing about some details of the fortress ...

These young designers are at an age where they dare to think and do anything. So a lot of whimsy was added to the design. Especially since the air threat was not strict in this era, they even planned to build several reinforced concrete batteries tens of meters high in the city, and install some heavy guns with a caliber of no less than 3oomm on the batteries ...

In addition, there are some high-rise buildings dedicated to airships, as well as a variety of other buildings. If designed the way they envisioned it, it would be a special mix of steampunk and multi-turret gods...

Of course, Yan Shao knew about their design style, but he didn't say anything against it. After all, he knew very well that if China had always been strong, even if Yekaterinburg was an undefended city, no one would dare to invade it.

On the other hand, if China is weakened, then a strong fortress alone is useless, so after thinking about it for a long time, Yan Shao chose to let these young people wave...

It's just that Yan Shao didn't know that it was precisely because of his indulgence that Yekaterinburg became a very special fortress city under the supervision of these young people. Because of its strong steampunk style, the city even became a mecca for steampunk and multi-turret gods in later generations...

At the same time, because of this, the city has become a very famous tourist city in later generations, attracting countless tourists every year to come and admire the special design style of the city...

Of course, at this moment, Yan Shao definitely didn't know this...

――――――――――――――――――――

When the news of the capture of Yekaterinburg by the Wehrmacht reached the country, there was a round of jubilation in the country.

As early as when the Wehrmacht launched a westward strategy and sent troops of five army corps to the north, many newspapers in the country had already briefly described the entire Siberian region in relative terms.

Although in the eyes of people in this era. Siberia is nothing more than a wasteland with a lot of trees and a very cold weather. But as has been said many times, just look at the map to see how important this place is.

What's more, in addition to forest resources, there are also gold mines and so on that have been developed in Siberia. So although Siberia is seen as a very large 'wasteland', it is definitely not useless. And after occupying Siberia and most of Central Asia, China will also become the largest country in the six consecutive territories. The excitement on the world map alone is enormous, and with a history of humiliation in the past, the government has now done something earth-shattering, with the exception of a few who are afraid of the ocean, or who fear that the Wehrmacht's actions may eventually fail. Or maybe it's someone who reads a book and gets frozen in their brains, and the vast majority of people are supportive of it...

In fact, there are some places on Earth that have similar conditions with Siberia, such as Greenland.

As the world's largest island, Greenland, like Siberia, is also famous for its icy and sparsely populated land―――――― and of course, it is also famous for its huge area.

But in fact, like Siberia, Greenland is rich in natural resources. 6 The offshore oil and gas reserves are also considerable, with 3.1o billion barrels of oil reserves in the north-east of Greenland alone, which is almost 8o times the oil reserves of the North Sea region, to which Denmark belongs. Greenland's mineral deposits such as lead, zinc and cryolite are economically valuable. In addition to the promising uranium, copper and molybdenum mines in the 197o, and the emergence of mega-gold deposits in 1989, there are also a certain amount of diamond resources, although climatic and ecological concerns have severely limited the exploitation of mineral resources.

It is conceivable that such a country with a population of less than 60,000 people enjoys such abundant resources. This is more or less similar to the situation in Siberia.

――――――――――――――――――――

Unlike the original history, because China had already participated in the European war early and became one of the main forces on the Western Front, the domestic media did not rest on its laurels at home as in the original history, and a little thought from abroad was regarded as a golden rule.

In fact, as early as the first time the expeditionary force sent troops to Europe, there were already reporters from several newspapers who went out with them, and then with the expeditionary force's achievements, the more brilliant they became. This situation became more and more common, and by the time it was even the norm for the more established newspapers in China to send people abroad to collect news, which also made them not as lonely as they were in history. It is clear where the Ural Mountains are, and where Yekaterinburg is ...

In the same way, they are well aware of the importance of Yekaterinburg ...

And it is precisely because these newspapers, which are much more experienced than in the previous life, tirelessly carry out scientific popularization activities there, that the people of the country understand the significance of the occupation of Yekaterinburg by the Wehrmacht.

With the news of the good news from the front, many people are convinced that this will be the beginning of China's glory again...

Naturally, there is also news hidden under this, that is, Feng Guozhang's troops in the outer northeast are detaching part of their forces and officially entering the Siberian region, and have occupied more than ten villages along the railway line in a row.

In a way, this news is in no way inferior to the news of the capture of Yekaterinburg. However, for the people, in the face of the feat of Cai Yi leading the army to completely cut through the Eurasian 6, although Feng Guozhang's actions are also very important, they always have to stand in a secondary position, or even a more secondary position, not to mention that Feng Guozhang's own actions are somewhat low-key.

Moreover, although in the Wehrmacht, Feng Guozhang's status may not be much lower than Cai Yi, but Cai Yi, the [hero of Verdun], is obviously more famous than Feng Guozhang, who has been staying in China, and for those pervasive uncrowned kings, Cai Yi is obviously more selling than Feng Guozhang―――――― the market decides to make a decision.

Therefore, while newspapers around the world are condemning this act of the Chinese government, many newspapers have also reported the news with the headline 'Heroes of the past, accomplices of today'...

It is not surprising, after all, that this military operation was commanded by Cai Ye, in the eyes of foreigners who opposed China's invasion of Russia. Cai Ye, a former hero, naturally became an accomplice.

It's just that those foreigners don't seem to have much else to do but shout, after all, they still need to deal with the Germans and the newly established Soviet Russian regime, and they really don't have the strength to solve the problem of China's occupation of Siberia and Central Asia.

What's more, for ordinary people in the Entente countries, they don't have a good impression of the Russians in the first place, and naturally they are not interested in China's sending troops to Russia...

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although foreign countries have condemned China's dispatch of troops to eastern Russia. But this qiē did not affect the psychology of celebration in China. With the good news from the front, a grand celebration began in the country.

Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing, Anqing...

Almost every major city in the country has launched a grand celebration, and those already lively streets are crowded with celebratory crowds.

At the same time, on the rooftop of the Empire State Building, a smaller celebratory banquet is unfolding...

At the cocktail party on the rooftop, well-dressed 'well-dressed beasts' were holding wine glasses in their hands. There are three or five gathered together to talk and laugh, and from time to time, there will be a burst of laughter in the crowd...

Naturally, this type of class is usually dominated by men, and compared to women, it is much more 'elegant'. Of course, the so-called elegance is only relative. When these women get together, they usually talk about cosmetics, fashion, or some fashion stuff, or what about their man or son, and so on...

Similarly, when a group of women get together, intrigue is absolutely inevitable.

But on this occasion, I'm afraid few people care what these women are doing together...

Although the rooftop is very lively at the moment, there are even two who seem to be military. There was a fight for wine, and there were a few men next to him who were whispering and coaxing. However, as long as you are discerning, you can notice that almost all of the people who appear on the rooftop at this moment are Chinese, although Westerners are not absent, but they are definitely rare, and Zhu Erdian and others, who always attend such occasions on weekdays, are also very rare and do not appear...

In a way, this behavior is more or less indicative of their attitude. That is, Britain, France, and other countries did not approve of China's act of sending troops to Russia this time―――――― and Zhu Erdian and others absolutely could not participate in this kind of banquet to celebrate the smooth military action.

Of course, they did not want to anger China, so they only resorted to soft protests.

That being said. But no one cares about that...

After all, on this issue, they can't back down at all, even Song Jiaoren and others, so since Zhu Erdian and they don't want to come, then Song Jiaoren and they have to treat them as if they don't exist at all...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although the banquet on the rooftop is very lively at the moment, not every place is lively, at least there are some secluded corners for people to rest.

At this moment, in a relatively secluded corner on the rooftop, but at the same time it is the most eye-catching corner of the audience, Yan Shao and his family are chatting while eating...

"How, how is the mood after the plan is smooth..."After a small sip of juice, Elaline gently stroked Yan Xiaoyu, who was sleeping in his arms, and then looked at Yan Shao in a more brisk tone.

"How am I feeling, don't you know..."Reaching out and gently touching Yan Xiaoyu's little head, Yan Shao looked at Elaine and said meaningfully.

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Elanon's face suddenly turned slightly red, not only her, but even Caterina and them. There is no other reason, just because after learning about the military operation, Yan Shao's appearance on the bed can be called extremely brave...

On the other hand, after Yan Shao smiled, he focused his attention on Yan Xiaoyu.

Compared with the wrinkled appearance of a little old man when he was born, Yan Xiaoyu at this time looks very cute, with pink and fair skin, and even makes people want to pounce on it and take a bite...

On the other hand, Elaline also looked at the child in his arms with a loving face, and in recent times, Elaline has also been smooth sailing in his career. Even some time ago, Yan Shao donated 100 million pounds for the westward expansion strategy, and he didn't care much. Because according to the statistics within the group, in the past few years, almost every year Yan Shao's industry can bring him more than 200 million pounds of profits, and in 5 years, it has almost brought Yan Shao nearly 1 billion pounds of profits.

Subtracting 100 million pounds from a billion pounds is not a big deal...

What's more, after all, those are Yan Shao's own industries, and Elaline is just taking care of Yan Shao. Since even Yan Shao himself didn't care much, why should Elano worry about him.

As for Yan Shao himself?

Compared with the initial calculations, Yan Shao is now a little numb to money, and he doesn't even know how much money he has, so naturally he won't care about this kind of thing...

"That's right..."Putting the cup aside, Elanon's beautiful eyes fell on Yan Shao's body. Some time ago my father came by telegram. Ask me what you are going to do with these parts of Siberia............... I think the French government should have asked him to inquire about this, but he was my father after all, if..."

"Don't worry..."Seeing that Eleno was a little hesitant, Yan Shao said with a smile. It's not a secret thing, and it's nothing to sue your father or the French government, and it's going to be announced anyway, not to mention ...... Say it now. It can also make them feel a little prepared..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao groaned for a while and then slowly spoke. "Actually, it's nothing special, because the plan has just been successful, and the cabinet hasn't been able to come up with any detailed plans for the time being, but there are still rough ones..."

"For example, Siberia and the regions in the north will be divided into four or five provinces, of which the outer northeast has been identified, and Sakhalin ―――――― albeit only half. However, it is still intended to have a separate province there, rather than belonging to a province. ”

"Then there is Siberia, and the main controversy at the moment is whether it should be divided into two, that is, Eastern Siberia and Western Siberian Province, or whether there is one more Central Siberia in the middle, which is probably what it is..."

"As for Central Asia, it's even simpler, and now they have pushed the front line to the Eurasian dividing line near the Caspian Sea. Therefore, we intend to divide the existing Kazakhstan into two or three provinces, and four other regions, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, will also be divided into a separate province. ”

"But for now, the above arrangements are only temporary. So it's not clear how it will end up, but according to our plan, the newly occupied part should eventually form 1o to 12 new provinces―――――― of course, these provinces will definitely be sparsely populated, so the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Agriculture will probably be busy in the future..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao couldn't help laughing.

He wasn't worried at all, after all, this information would be released soon, and it wouldn't be a big deal to tell him sooner or later. Elinor is also very aware of this, so he will ask...

As for the division of provinces...

At least in Yan Shao's view, 4 to 5 is still more reasonable, although Siberia is indeed surprisingly large, but in fact, the entire population is only about 8oo, in the country to pick a province at random, I am afraid that the population is more than Siberia―――――― provided that Tibet is excluded first, even in the later generations, the population of Tibet is very small...

It is precisely because the population of Siberia is so small that it is more reasonable to have four or five provinces, like Xinjiang and Tibet in later generations, aren't they also very large areas, but they are still just a very ordinary provinces...

At least one thing is certain, that is, Yan Shao will not be able to learn from the Russia of later generations.

In later generations, the Russians were able to divide a Siberia into nearly 2o provinces...

Considering that the total population of Siberia in later generations was only 4ooo, this is almost equivalent to only 2 million people in each province, and in later generations it was even inferior to a more populous city in China...

So...

Perhaps in the eyes of Europe and the United States, more than 2oo people in a province is very common, but it is difficult for Chinese to understand.

What's more, Siberia today has a population of only 8 million, and even if it is divided into four provinces, each province has only 2 million people...

On the other hand, after hearing Yan Shao's answer, Elaline also nodded with satisfaction.

Seriously, she didn't want to ask about it, but Bertrand kept asking her to ask, but there was no way, she could only ask...

――――――――――――――――――――

Today is a good day to celebrate, and if you've been talking about business all the time, it's a bit of a disappointment...

So after talking about things, Yan Shao and they soon shifted the topic to some more relaxed things, 6 Ying and Otsuki Kaoru were even more childlike to Yan Xiaoyu's side, and from time to time they would reach out and scratch Yan Xiaoyu's chubby little hands and feet, which made Yan Xiaoyu, who was in a state of deep sleep, very uncomfortable, and some couldn't help kicking his legs...

At this time, many fireworks suddenly burst out of the sky, and with a deafening sound, the night sky was suddenly lit up...

"This should be the tallest fireworks in the world, right?" Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh softly as he looked at the fireworks shooting from a position not far below the Empire State Building building.

Although the height of the fireworks is high, it is impossible to reach the height of the Empire State Building, so in order to make the fireworks visible to the dignitaries on the top floor, the staff in the building deliberately arranged fireworks on several floors below the top floor, and now it is finally a success...

And looking at the gorgeous fireworks, Yan Shao and the others became much happier...

With Yekaterinburg falling into the hands of the Wehrmacht, this westward expansion strategy finally came to an end...
