Chapter 11: The Russian Assault

If China's economic development is a capitalist model, this is really a bit wrongful for Yang Xiaolin. Although the Western system is adopted in most economic fields, in some special fields, the operation mode of the state-owned economy is implemented.

For example, the tank base in Shanxi is composed of more than 30 large and small factories, more than half of which are state-owned. Because there are many techniques in the tank base that need to be kept secret, Yang Xiaolin, who grew up under the red flag, really doesn't trust the mercenary nature of those businessmen. Besides, he couldn't accept that if he wanted to fight, he had to look for the support of arms dealers like foreigners, so that those merchants could make weapons for the country.

In addition, Yang Xiaolin is also setting up state-owned department stores all over the country. Later, New China did this, although the most embarrassing outcome was that it was killed by private supermarkets, but the existence of department stores did solve the problem of the circulation of goods in an era.

Yang Xiaolin also did not think that his department store would last forever and become a Chinese multinational enterprise. His birth was a transition, a transitional means in an era when transportation and information were not developed. Sheng Huaixuan said that now that China's business has just started, the government's support for business must be increased, and the establishment of a perfect sales channel is better than any policy support.

Unified procurement, unified circulation, that is to say, no matter where your item is produced, as long as the government supports you, it can ensure that your item appears in all counties in China within two months, which is the greatest support for business.

Maybe in the future, when the roads and railways are perfected, and after the development of radio and the intervention of radio in the civilian industry, the department stores with developed information will also close down one by one, it doesn't matter, as long as she can complete the task of helping Chinese enterprises go faster at this stage, it will be fine.

What is the model of China's economy is now Commander Yang really can't say, he just wants to make China's pace faster. At present, the situation in the whole world is extremely tense, and whether it is Britain, France, Germany and Austria, on the one hand, they are trying their best to avoid war. On the other hand, it is sharpening its knives, and the whole earth is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and no one can say how much time is left for China.

The war between Russia and Turkey was a very delicate one, Turkey was a very strange country, on the one hand, they were very dependent on Germany economically, and on the other hand, Turkey had a good opinion of Britain and France. Especially for the British, it can be said that Turkey has always had a grateful heart.

In the Crimean War that year, Britain really stuck a knife in Turkey's ribs. So in the war against the Russians, when Britain intervened to intercede, Turkey saw that the territory had been recovered. Homeopathy agreed, planning to sell Britain a face.

But Nicholas II did not agree. Nicholas II made it clear that not everyone in Russia can be bullied, and I will listen to you and Britain on the Chinese side, and I will not fight. But here, you don't care about it, or don't blame me for turning my face.

The British were surprised by this, and their ambassador to Russia kindly reminded Nicholas II that the Turks had a German shadow behind them. If they do fight any further, it will be detrimental to the situation in the future. And the most important thing is, Russia doesn't seem to be able to move, right?

The British had already done a detailed investigation for Nikolai, and the defeat in foreign wars for several years had already left Russia with a broken bone. Especially in the Sino-Russian war, the loss of a million troops was unacceptable to a normal country. Many of the Russian soldiers in the current Russian army are resistant to war, and their supplies are not enough to support even another fight with a country like Turkey.

But Nikolai had to fight.

Nikolai made it clear to the British that the most serious crisis in your country right now is a surplus of supplies. It doesn't matter, you give me all the supplies, and I'll consume them for you. As for how many people will die in Russia, you don't care. Because for us there is no surplus of anything, the only surplus is the population.

When it comes to this, the British really don't have to say anything, well, you guys fight. It is not without benefit to fight Turkey and keep him from getting too close to the Germans. Just like against Yang, although the Russians lost, Yang finally realized that they had to compromise with Britain and France, and this was a victory.

While the Sino-Russian negotiations were underway, the Russian side began to hastily deploy troops. Why is it in a hurry, because Russia's military strength is now on the Russian-Austrian border, and most of the limited domestic military strength is consumed on the Chinese battlefield, Nikolai hastily mobilized 200,000 soldiers and handed them over to General Brusinov, who had just suffered a defeat in China.

The general of the defeated army, leading a rabble, set off in this way. The most important thing is that many soldiers in the army do not even have rifles, but have a javelin in their hands. The British shook their heads when they saw this force, and they advised Nicholas II not to fight for the time being, this time it is really not to persuade you, but you should replenish your weapons in place, and then train and train before you go.

But Brusinov insisted on an immediate expedition! He said, don't worry if the troops are handed over to him Nikolai, all you have to do is let me go out at once, and then, you can wait at home for the news of victory.

Nikolai didn't know what to do and believed Brusinov, and at this time Britain, France and Germany were almost one-sided that the Russians were going to taste the bitter fruit of defeat again this time, because according to their ideas, Brusinov's doing so was no different from bringing 200,000 troops into the coffin.

However, they did not know that Brusinov, although a little arrogant, was indeed a rare capable general in the Russian army. After being beaten by Yang Xiaolin in a surprise attack on Beijing last year, he immediately began to study the tactics of the Chinese when he returned to Russia.

He did not say that he thought that my soldiers would win if they believed that I would win, Brusinov was not a proletarian, he did not have that fearless spirit. But he knew that the Russians were not ready, and neither were the Turks.

In fact, the Turkish empire is already a third-rate country in Europe, with a population of 35 million that cannot be compared with Russia, and more than half of them are Arabs who are fighting for independence. In addition, Turkey's domestic political situation is very complicated, and the pro-German and pro-British and French open and covert rivalries can be exploited by itself.

Brusinov and the tsar said that as long as we defeat Turkey, take out his army. His internal contradictions will soon erupt, and at that time we will be able to get a large territory from Turkey, and our life will be much better.

Is it possible to defeat Turkey? Just with these 200,000 so-called troops who have not been trained and don't even have rifles? Brusinov said, there is!

This time to fight Turkey is to be like China to fight him, one word, fast!

The worst thing in Turkey is that they transport roads, and a shell is brought from the rear to the front, not by cars and trains, but by camels. It will take at least two months to arrive. They had just won the victory, but their supplies should be replenished, and at this time they could not be given two months to replenish the bullets and shells, and the troops should be called in within a week, and it didn't matter whether they could shoot or not, it was just a person. Then immediately take the train to the front and attack!

Material? You prepare now, and you can send it to me when I fight.

General Brusinov set out when everyone thought he was going to fail, and when he reached the front, his tactics were the same as those of Yang Xiaolin who beat him. Before the official start of the battle, he sent small troops after small troops to reach the Turks' positions in the evening.

This tactical move is easy for the Chinese, but for the tall old Maozi, they want to be as unnoticed by the opponent as the Chinese touch them. It's really a bit difficult. Fortunately, the Russians were overpopulated, and Brusinov sent more than one troops, and when it was dawn, there were really four or five Russian troops that miraculously performed at a super-level. Touched the position of the Turks and went forward.

Well, Brusinov began to attack according to the second step of Commander Young. The shelling begins!

This time the shelling was different from the kind of intensive bombardment that the Russians had used to have, with short, precise fire falling on the Turkish positions in front of the Russian troops who touched them. The Turks did not fight Russia once or twice. Their concept was that the Russians would smash the cannon for three or four hours as soon as they opened fire, so their troops were still preparing in the back, and even the observation troops on the front line began to retreat into the hideouts.

They never expected that this time the Russians would not stop the cannonball, and the infantry would rush up! Brusinov was imitating the rhythm of the Chinese troops advancing on the artillery point, but the quality of these Russian soldiers was far from meeting this requirement, and the artillery did not know how to cooperate with the infantry, but it didn't matter, wasn't it just a few deaths?

The Russian GIs are really moving forward on the point where the shells fall! Each shell can kill several Russians.

The method is cruel, but the effect is obvious.

When the Turkish soldiers on the opposite side didn't figure out what the Russians were sick with this time, and their commander hadn't made a decision about whether to push the troops up with artillery fire like the Russians, the old man had already rushed to the position!

In this way, there was no suspense in the battle, and in the melee the Russian soldiers were still very confident in fighting bayonets with the Turks. When Brusinov saw that the first line of defense had been broken through by himself, he knew that he had won the war!

The next thing to do is very simple, just follow him like Yang beat the ghost and catch up! Don't give the Turks a chance to sort out their formation, don't care about messing up yourself, just mess up the other side!

The Russians mobilized militarily at home on May 21, just after the signing of a peace agreement with China. The concentration of 200,000 troops was on May 30 and the front was reached on June 10. The battle began on the 11th, and by the 19th of June, the Turks' claimed 300,000-strong army had actually been wiped out with only 130,000 troops.

Not only was all the land they had seized back from the Russians some time ago reoccupied by Lao Maozi, but General Brusinov also pushed the front more than 100 kilometers into Turkish territory, and by 24 June, when the Russian troops were approaching Istanbul, Turkey hastily gathered resistance and strength, and Britain and France only stood up again at this time to mediate.

The Tsar's war supplies to General Brusinov had just arrived. The Turks had no choice but to accept the mediation of the international community, and the Russians once again forced their neighbors to sign an alliance under the city. (To be continued......)
