    When leaving the Ministry of National Defense, Yang Qiu pulled Gu Weijun into the car.  "Shaochuan, do you have anything to say?" After closing the car door, Yang Qiu asked him what happened when he was distracted just now.  Gu Weijun was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Yang Qiu to notice this detail.

    It was difficult to say in the conference room just now. There were no outsiders in the car at this moment. Gu Weijun expressed his worry: "President, I actually know it well. Although the Soviet Union has invested heavily in troops this time, most of them are new recruits with little experience. If not  Logistics and southeastern containment are nothing to worry about. I am just afraid that this war will drag on for a long time and the situation will deteriorate out of control. I asked Zian and he said that Britain and the United States can show off their power at sea and in the air, but on the ground on the peninsula, they will suffer a disastrous defeat.  It's inevitable. Even if we go, it won't work, because they can't control the air there, and Zhuofan's things can't be implemented. So he feels that Roosevelt and Churchill are lucky to be able to hold Andalusia and Gibraltar. The fall of Greece is also certain.  , Turkey may also be involved, so we must open the Strait of Malacca before the end of the year, otherwise the west will be tight. After Wake Island, because Roosevelt wanted to send troops to Europe and was worried that the Japanese troops would penetrate deeply into Hawaii and Australia, he had no choice but to agree to provide assistance to us.  Now that the Japanese navy is basically finished, and it is trapped in Spain and North Africa, it is no longer realistic for us to obtain external assistance. Therefore, Congress has made many suggestions on this matter to withdraw the air service regiment and other troops that aided the British. Now Japan  The situation has just opened up here, and such a big battle has broken out in Central Asia. They are already very dissatisfied with multi-front operations. They believe that since the Japanese navy and air force no longer pose a big threat to our territory, they should withdraw their troops from the peninsula, and at worst, strengthen their attack on North Korea.  We need military assistance and let them fight on their own. Our troops should be transferred to Central Asia. After all, we and the Soviet Union are already irreconcilable mortal enemies. In addition, from the perspective of economy and reserves, multi-front operations are also very difficult. Relying solely on  With our own strength, there is no problem if we bite the bullet and persist for a year and a half. If it takes too long, our vitality will definitely be damaged Now there is trouble in Iraq again. We still have to contain it in Tehran. It is really  .¡±

    Yang Qiu knocked on his knees unconsciously. Today's situation was something he had expected a long time ago. It should be said that it was better than expected.  But he obviously underestimated the possibility of fighting on multiple fronts simultaneously.  Pressure on the Cabinet and domestically.  He believed that Gu Weijun supported him, otherwise he would not have interfered with the transfer of troops from North Korea just now.  But what about everyone else?  Questions from Congress, financial pressure.  They are all forcing him to end the multi-front battle as soon as possible.  Thinking of this, he said slowly: "Shaochuan, I understand what you mean. But we have to fight North Korea and Ryukyu! This is not just about annihilating Japan militarily. It is also politically. Our attitude towards Asian countries  ! You think, the fall of North Korea can be said to be closely related to our early connivance and active avoidance. We can provide military aid and loans, but what will ordinary North Koreans think? Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, Myanmar  .What will they think? This is not the early stage of the war. We can use lack of preparation as a excuse. The more victories we have, the greater their expectations will be. The paralysis of the Japanese navy is the best time to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop and regain Asia. If  At this time, because the main force has been withdrawn from distant Central Asia, will they still regard us as a reliable ally?"

    "What we want to build is a back garden, not a unified Asia. Ethnic diversity and national independence movements have determined this era. It is no longer possible to control the entire Asia-Pacific through conquest. So we must stand from the perspective of the entire Asia-Pacific.  Come and fight this war." Yang Qiu waved his hands gently, with a firm expression: "It is difficult now, but I firmly believe that as long as the peninsula and Ryukyu win, Japan will definitely not be able to survive! So I have given Chu Nan  They issued a death order to capture Ryukyu and Seoul no matter what before the end of August! Saipan and Truk no longer require much investment. According to my estimation, by October at the latest, we can not only complete the early expedition to the Southwest Pacific  By withdrawing all the troops, dozens of divisions in Ryukyu can be saved. On the peninsula, as long as Seoul is captured and the foundation of Japan's rule is disintegrated, the main force can be gradually withdrawn, allowing the Korean army and our new army to take on the main battle  . As for the Persian Gulf and Southeast, I can give you a thorough explanation. As long as Sud and Germany do not officially enter Turkey, I will not take the initiative to intervene."

    Seeing how confident he said, Gu Weijun's face relaxed a little.  Said: "Okay. Tomorrow I will ask Shi Zhaoji and Murong Han to go to the Northeast to settle the voting matter first. Haha, how angry do you think Stalin will be when he gets the news?"

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how angry I will be, but I¡¯m sure I¡¯ll smash a few cups.¡± Yang Qiu smiled, but his mind drifted to Ilgiz.

    "Can Du Zishan defend until Liu Mingzhao launches a counterattack, can he complete a Kursk-style battle and completely establish the initiative in this war?" The darkness before sunrise really tests patience.

    ====

    Chita, Nerchinsk.

    The former signing place of the Treaty of Nerchinsk has been covered by a neat row of wooden conjoined barracks.The camp is surrounded by wooden watchtowers more than ten meters high. Together with three layers of barbed wire inside and outside, this area of ??nearly 100 square kilometers is separated from the outside world.  Walking along the southeast gate, you can see many soldiers in National Guard uniforms, with loaded guns and hounds, patrolling back and forth within the jurisdiction on a regular basis.  Continuing to the north, the first thing you see is a huge training base.  Single-plank bridges, ropes, cross-country obstacles, shooting ranges and other military training facilities can all be seen here.  On the playground, tens of thousands of soldiers, organized into battalions, were sweating profusely under the whistles of instructors.  But what is amazing is that except for the instructors who are mostly Chinese military officers, the soldiers being trained are all foreign-looking.  Some resemble Asians, some resemble Turks, and quite a few are blond and blue-eyed foreigners.

    This is the Russian National Liberation Army training center established by Yang Qiu and the General Staff after the Sino-Soviet war.

    In the two years since the war broke out, more than three million Soviet prisoners of war have been collected in the country, and more than one million Soviets in Central Asia and Siberia have been imprisoned in various concentration camps. This does not include those who were 'processed'.  A large number of die-hard elements such as political commissars and war supervisors were lost.  They either sold their labor or worked in camp factories to supply military supplies.  Most of the prisoners of war were Slavs, but there were also quite a few soldiers from Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics, and the Caucasus.

    There was no peace within the Soviet Union. During the Great Purge, ethnic groups including Tatars and Ukrainians were persecuted, and millions of people were secretly arrested or exiled.  The Ivan Mill Incident.  It also pushed the Great Purge movement to the extreme.  As the pre-war Polish prisoner-of-war incident was exposed, British, American and Chinese reporters began to frantically dig up the inside story, and many internal purges were exposed.  So after the war started, the General Staff took advantage of these contradictions.  Some people were specially selected from among the prisoners of war.  Together with the opponents rescued from Central Asia and exiled by the Great Purge, the Russian Liberation Army was formed.  To show friendship, the General Staff also gave it an independent number starting with 5.  Prepare to put them into the battlefield at the appropriate time, and ultimately play a role in disintegrating the Soviet Union and establishing a Ural barrier.

    There are currently more than 200,000 Russian Liberation Army soldiers in the camp.  Among them, there were 80,000 Tatar soldiers alone, and the rest were also composed of Ukrainian, Cossacks and exiles from the Great Purge.

    Amid the rumble of engines, a small group of Hound wheeled armored vehicles drove into the camp.  The curious and surprised eyes of the soldiers.  The thin Jiang Baili and Murong Han.  Accompanied by Wang Geng, commander of the National Guard, he walked out of the car.

    "Hey, it's quite lively." Jiang Baili shook off his wrinkled military uniform, and just as he was about to walk inside, Wang Geng took out a windbreaker: "Principal, it's very windy in the wilderness, so be careful with yourself."

    "It doesn't matter. It's been six months. The doctors said that the Lord of Hell doesn't want to kill me."

    Murong Han couldn't help but said, took the windbreaker and put it on him: "You'd better put it on, it's not as good as inside the pass." Jiang Baili laughed and had no choice but to put on the windbreaker.  He was seriously ill last year and could hardly get out of bed. He did not recover until March this year.

    "Shouqing, how many soldiers are there now?" Murong Han was a member of the cabinet, so he knew about the Russian Liberation Army.  But the specific scale and equipment are not clear.  "There are now 7,700 middle and low-level officers and more than 275,000 soldiers here. 220,000 of them have been trained and met the president's requirements. As for weapons and equipment, they are all ready-made by the Soviet army. Only some automatic weapons such as submachine guns have been strengthened.  We are mainly responsible for training and logistical support, as well as ideological education." Wang Geng pointed to the slogans and posters that can be seen everywhere and introduced the base troops and base operations.

    All the slogans and posters are anti-Soviet and anti-Nazi. A large number of photos of the Great Purge and the massacre of Polish prisoners of war, which caused a sensation in the press, can be seen here as if they are free, even on the street signs at the base.  Bilingual Chinese and Russian were used.  Hearing the shouting in front of him, Murong Han quickly walked to a classroom.  Through the window, one could clearly see two National Guard officers, their faces flushed and foaming at the mouth, giving political and ideological lessons to nearly a hundred former Soviet soldiers.  The courses are very simple. They all promote national liberation, freedom, and opposition to the Soviet Union.  The two instructors seemed to have taken stimulants. Without saying a few words, they took the lead in raising their hands and shouting slogans. Under their leadership, the soldiers below became more and more excited, with red eyes and ferocious faces.  "The course was developed by the General Staff, and the teaching method" Wang Geng's eyes were bright and he couldn't suppress his excitement: "They are all taught by the president himself. I found someone to try it, and it is particularly effective! Two  After three months of shouting like this, all that was left in my mind were anti-Soviet, anti-oppression, independence and national liberation.¡±

    "Oh? So powerful?" Murong Han didn't believe it.  Little did he know that this teaching method was actually the MLM brainwashing of later generations.  Not to mention that these soldiers had any grudges against Moscow in the first place. Even if they didn't, they could be thoroughly cleaned up several times.  After the teaching was over, the instructor began to play the precious film materials that Long Ya had shot in dangerous situations over the past decades.?They have all been edited and contain content such as the Great Famine, Purge, Corruption, Death Penalty and Massacre.  According to Wang Geng, they not only arranged for soldiers to watch "instructional films" every three days, but also corrupted and penetrated details of life.  For example, the base will provide Coke, beer, cigars, ice cream and other things they could not enjoy before. There will even be newspapers, cinemas, theatres, dance halls and bars.  Of course, the things played are all about promoting the good life in China.  Moreover, the base also stipulates that everyone must learn Chinese and read a lot of Chinese poetry and books (this rule is implemented in all prisoner of war camps and concentration camps).  If you fail the Chinese language test, you will be sent to the mining area to work as a coolie In short, through these seemingly ordinary things and Chinese culture, you are constantly hinting and influencing them subtly.

    After a long period of training, I dare not say that they will be 100% obedient. At least the idea of ??seeking national independence has been planted in the minds of these people.  Moreover, intensive Chinese learning and book reading have also left a deep Chinese imprint on them.  "At the beginning of next month, each prisoner of war camp will send about 100,000 people with good performance" During Wang Geng's introduction, the two of them had already walked to the dormitory area.  The rows of dormitories are very clean and have complete medical and health facilities. You can also see Spring Festival couplets and window grilles posted during the Spring Festival.  The soldiers at the base were very surprised by the arrival of the two 'big officials', and many people crowded at the door to watch.  Jiang Baili also visited several barracks with great interest. He saw that many people had packed their bags and asked, "Are you all ready?"

    "There are ten divisions in the first batch, with the same number of personnel as our army. There are also three independent light armor regiments and seven independent artillery regiments The train has arrived in Chita. The first batch of troops will be ready tomorrow afternoon at the latest.  You can get on the bus." Wang Geng quickly stated the preparations.  Mobilizing the Russian Liberation Army to participate in the war was not a temporary move.  In fact, as early as the beginning of the year, Yang Qiu wanted to use them in the Ryukyu Campaign to test the results.  But considering that most of them are inland soldiers, many of them have never seen the sea, let alone use the tropical climate.  So in the end we decided to simply join the Korean battlefield.  Originally, they wanted to wait until the Anzhou Passage was opened before investing. Now that the Soviet Union has launched a counterattack, they will be allowed to go up early.

    "Not bad. By the way, your father-in-law asked me to ask you, how is the fighting here? Are you in any trouble?" After checking the preparations of the base, Jiang Baili asked about the Northeast operation again.

    The Northeastern Theater Command was mainly responsible for clearing out the Japanese and Soviet guerrillas in the Sea of ??Okhotsk area. It was small in scale and had scattered operations, so the General Staff simply asked Wang Geng to lead the National Guard in charge.  Of course, five regular divisions equipped with large numbers of light tanks and armored vehicles were also mobilized.  Since it is not a main battlefield, there are relatively few domestic reports on this aspect.  "The progress is going quite smoothly so far. We have occupied Yakutsk and Okhotsk and are advancing towards Magadan. The navy has also promised to send us to the Kamchatka Peninsula and Chukotka Peninsula early next month. There will not be much trouble.  , mainly focusing on troop projection. The battles here are different from other places. They are sporadic guerrilla warfare. The Japanese army and Soviet guerrillas are very familiar with this style of fighting. There are many virgin forests in the war zone, the terrain is complex, and the battle lines are very long.  . Many times, when we got the news and rushed there, the enemy had already penetrated into the old forest"

    "Well, it's quite a headache. Let's do this. I'll go back and discuss with Chu Nan and the others. We'll allocate some people from the hunter brigade to support you, and send in a few more reconnaissance battalions. The Army's dragoon helicopter brigade has also been equipped.  The navy's sea cavalry are also temporarily unavailable, so I asked them to transfer them here, so they can take advantage of your small-scale conflict and continue to explore the tactics of using helicopters."

    "That would be great!" The Hunter Brigade is a unit that specializes in special warfare missions, and is most suitable for handling this kind of guerrilla warfare.  As for the helicopter, Wang Geng also heard the introduction from Yue Peng. It can hover and take off and land vertically. It is a powerful weapon for quickly delivering small groups of troops.  With their help, I believe the clearing of the Northeast Theater will be completed soon.  Murong Han heard that the two of them had been chatting about military affairs and interrupted with a smile: "It would be better for you two to leave me alone and study the war by yourself. Shouqing, are you ready to vote? You will be voting in five days.  It¡¯s about to start, and we must not make any mistakes.¡± The Siberian vote was a big deal, and he became serious.

    "Troops have been dispatched to all residential areas, mining areas and polling points. There are 7,700 polling points in total, and telephone lines and radio stations are also kept open."

    "That's good. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister have summoned a group of domestic and foreign reporters to come. They will probably arrive at the train station tomorrow morning. You are responsible for their safety, and you must also tell the soldiers not to hinder them from watching the voting progress and process  " Murong Han took two steps closer, and the three of them whispered, studying voting security and other details
