Total War Predator

Fan Yaonan found out about this incident because of lax planning. Fan Yaonan was also the director of the Xinjiang Negotiations Office, and he had always been in close contact with the Soviets. Ulf, the Soviet consul in Xinjiang, belonged to Stalin. He knew that Stalin wanted to take action against China. He believed that he could unite with Fan Yaonan to overthrow Yang Zeng and bring Xinjiang into the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union

His plan was approved by the Soviet government, so he planned the assassination of Yang Zeng for Fan Yaonan

Xinjiang’s separation from the Beijing government only affected Zhang Anle’s IC a few points, and the relationship with the Soviet Union was reduced by a few points. Other aspects did not have a big impact. After all, his tentacles have not yet extended to Xinjiang.

Now we can only put aside the matter in Xinjiang, the most urgent thing is how to deal with the Soviets According to the news he got, Stalin is very concerned about this matter because he has just gained the upper hand in the domestic political struggle and continues to improve his prestige in the country Stalin knew that the thing that can increase a person's prestige the most is war. In his eyes, a victorious war is among the surrounding countries. China is the best choice, because China is a big country that is not a big country.

China's military and economic strength is not a big country, but China's population and land area determine that China is a big country. Therefore, China is the most suitable country to help him improve his prestige

Knowing that Stalin wanted a war, Zhang Anle could only instruct Zhang Xueliang to try to solve this problem through diplomatic means, at least it would take a while, and he would transfer troops from the south to the north

Zhang Anle ordered the division directly under him to take a boat to Tianjin immediately, and at the same time ordered the fourth division, third division, tenth division and No. The No.16 Division, No.14 Division and the Armored Division paid close attention to the border situation, and ordered Wu Liang's Seventh Division to go to Ansu Road and join the Fifth Division Wang Zhenbu to guard the western frontier (to be continued)

Chapter 31 Odds Geometry

Zhang Anle looked at the news gathered from all aspects of the Northeast, felt his head swell, pressed his temples with both hands a few times, took out a cigarette from the drawer, lit one, and suddenly the office was filled with smoke.

The 10nd, 8rd, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th divisions, plus the [-]th and [-]th divisions of Mongolia, as well as the directly subordinate division and the armored division Zhang Anle, mobilized a total of eight infantry divisions and one armored division, totaling [-] troops. Human strength Zhang Anle later said that in the Battle of the Middle East Railway, the Soviet Union dispatched a total of about [-] troops

With the troops mobilized by Zhang Anle and the Fengjun forces in the Northeast, it is no problem to fight against the Soviet Union, unless the Soviet Union wants to fight an all-out war

However, in order to cope with the upcoming Sino-Soviet war, the war against the Southern Nationalist Government began to change from offensive to defensive confrontation. Fortunately, at this time, the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army was greatly weakened, and it was unable to launch an offensive.

"Ring, ring,..." Just as Zhang An was puffing, the phone on the desk rang

"Report that the Chief of Staff of the Commander-in-Chief and the Chief of Political Affairs have arrived." After Wang Xiaozhu was sent to the National Defense University by Zhang Anle to study, Hou Weidong became Zhang Anle's personal adjutant

"Please come in," Zhang Anle ordered lightly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Anle stood up, walked around the large desk and walked towards the door

"I have seen the ruling!" The two stood up and saluted Zhang Anle

"Hehe, you two are welcome, please sit down"

Zhang Anle smiled and asked the two to sit down, Hou Weidong added tea to the three and left the office

"You already know what's going on when the chief of staff is called back this time." Zhang Anle gave way to the two of them with a cigarette, but they all refused. Zhang Anle lit a cigarette and asked Timuge

"I only know some situations roughly, but I don't have a detailed understanding." Temuge only knows the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China, and the relationship between the two sides is very stiff, and there is a possibility of war. Know

"Where is Mr. Yang?" Although Yang Du has become the chief political minister, Zhang Anle is still used to calling him Mr. Yang or Mr.

"I have been learning more about this incident in Beijing. This incident is actually the result of the intensification of the internal party struggle in the Soviet Union. In order to fight for power, Stalin and the opposition have confronted each other from politics to economy, from internal affairs to diplomacy. As for the dispute with China this time, although both sides claim to be the successors of Lenin, the opposition believes that the southern government is no longer worth supporting. However, Stalin said that a unified China was not in the interests of the Soviet Union. For this reason, the Soviet Union recalled Galen, the general adviser of the Northern Expedition Army. Counterattack, the opposition can barely speak in the Soviet Union." Yang Du briefly introduced the situation in the Soviet Union

"Then it's good for them to continue to support the southern government, why did they break off diplomatic relations with us?" Timug asked puzzled

"Because besides directly participating in the war, he can't find any other way to turn the Northern Expedition into victory." It was not Yan Yang Du who explained to him, but Zhang Anle

"That is to say, the war between our two countries is inevitable?" Timur asked again

"If we lose without a fight, of course it can be avoided," Yang Du replied

"Since this is the case, then we will do our best to prepare for the vast territory of the Soviet Union. Their inner-party struggles are still so fierce. They should not go to war with us. Our chances of winning are very high," Timug said.

Thousands of miles away in the Kremlin, Galen is also facing Stalin, and the discussion is also about the odds of both sides winning.

"Comrade Stalin, I don't think we have a great chance of winning unless we start a full-scale war with China." Gallon said seriously to Stalin

Galen, formerly known as Vasily Konstantinovich Blyukher, was appointed by the Soviet government and assumed the pseudonym "Galen". General Military Adviser of the Army until Stalin recalled him a few days ago

"Hehe, Comrade Blyuchel, you are an expert on China issues. We only learned about Zhang Anle and the squadron from the documents. What is their situation?" Stalin lit his pipe and looked at the situation with a smile. A meritorious general asked

"I don't know a lot about Zhang Anle. The current Chinese squadron can be divided into three classes. The first class is the infantry division numbered in the top ten of the National Defense Forces. The army was established earlier. They have received very formal and strict military training and equipped weapons are also very advanced. The penetration rate of artillery is higher than that of our Red Army. The second rank is the regular troops of the National Defense Army and the elite of the Northern Expedition Army. The training and equipment are also very good. The difference with the first-level troops is the training time and combat experience. The third-level is Zhang Xueliang's troops in the northeast and the remaining Northern Expeditionary Army. They have received simple military training, but whether it is weapons Neither the equipment nor the mental outlook can compare with the former two." Blyuchel organized his language briefly and said

"Then how many troops do you think the Beijing government can mobilize to fight this battle with us?" Hearing what he said, Stalin asked a question that concerned him most.

"Now that the Northern Expedition is holding back in the south, the Beijing government can mobilize less than 10 divisions, about 10 troops, but Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast has 30 troops, and the opponent can put more than 20 troops on the battlefield." Blueher After a simple calculation, he replied

"20 troops..." Stalin took a puff of cigarette when he heard this number, and began to think about it. Although he is eager to improve his prestige now, to deal with China's 20 troops, the Red Army should at least have more than 10 troops. Is this worth it? still not worth it

"If you were in command of this battle, how many troops would we have to mobilize?" After thinking for a while, Stalin asked

"If I were in command, the number of our Red Army should not be less than 15. In addition, the support of the Air Force and Navy is also needed, especially the Navy. In the past two years, Zhang Anle has purchased dozens of warships from the UK through loans, including the Iron Duke. A large battleship like the USS Our Pacific Fleet is not at all an opponent of a medium-sized battleship, so our breakthrough should be placed at the junction of Mongolia and Manchuria, as well as the border of Mongolia," Blyuchel replied after thinking for a while.

"Okay, Comrade Blyuchel, I will discuss your opinion with other comrades in the Politburo." Stalin said with a smile, in fact, he was also ordering the expulsion

"Then I'll go back to Comrade Stalin first"

"You must be prepared to go to the Far East to fight at any time." Stalin nodded, and at the same time did not forget to ask (to be continued)

Chapter 32 decided to do it

"Comrade General Secretary, I insist that going to war with China is not in the interests of the Soviet Union." Although he has changed from the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council to the director of the Electric Power Technology Administration, Trotsky still insists on opposing Stalin

"I also think that now is not the time to go to war with China. The current international situation of the Soviet Union is very bad. Launching a war will only make the situation of the Soviet Union worse." Zinoviev and Trotsky are allies. Looking at the former comrade-in-arms Stalin raised objections

Today Stalin summoned them to hold a meeting of the Politburo. As soon as Stalin came up, he asked everyone to discuss the matter of launching a war against China. Zinoviev and Trotsky immediately expressed their opposition.

"I disagree with Comrade Trotsky and Comrade Zinoviev. Now is the most suitable time to use force with China. The Beijing government is busy fighting with the Guangzhou government. Their north is very empty. Now they can easily take it by sending troops. Mongolia and Northeast Mongolia are rich in resources, and the Chinese government has also established a relatively complete heavy industry system there. If it can take over there, it will greatly promote my country's industry and animal husbandry. As for the Northeast, there is no freezing Hong Kong has fertile land, we can emigrate there on a large scale, and it will soon become the granary of the Soviet Union."

"Comrade Bukharin, please don't forget that the Chinese government has more than 5 troops stationed in Mongolia, and they have more than 30 troops in Northeast China. The military force in the Northeast will reach 50, while our garrison in Siberia is less than 10. The navy of the Chinese government is not what it was after the war with Japan. Last year alone, the Chinese government purchased dozens of troops from the United Kingdom. Our navy in the Far East was wiped out by imperialism at the beginning of the establishment of the Soviet Union. Now there are only a dozen dilapidated warships that can withstand the Chinese navy? Their warships can sail to the Amur River and Heilongjiang. Our army wants to It is very difficult to cross the Amur River.” Trotsky’s former People’s Commissar of the People’s Commissar of the People’s Commissar of the Army and Navy was not in vain. From the military level, he analyzed the impossibility of using force

What Trotsky said made Bukharin speechless. He had no choice but to do this. In the end, he could only say, "I believe that our heroic Red Army can defeat the enemy."

Zinoviev was very happy to see that Stalin's dog legs had nothing to say. He also knew that China is now strong in foreign countries but in the middle. Let him win a battle, and his prestige will be unprecedentedly high. At that time, no one can restrain him.

"None of us are military strategists. I think that in matters of war, the cadres of the army should have the say." Stalin said with a smile, taking the pipe in his hand

Hearing Stalin's so many glances between Trotsky and Zinoviev, he felt bad. It seems that Stalin had expected this situation a long time ago, and he had already thought of countermeasures. It seems that this time Mistake

"Comrade Stalin is right. In matters of military matters, you should listen to the opinions of the army cadres," said Voroshilov, who replaced Trotsky as chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council.

"That's all" was all Trotsky could say.

"Go and invite Comrade Blyukher in," Stalin ordered to the clerk in the conference room.

"Hello, all members." After a while, Bliuchel, who had been waiting outside, came in and gave a military salute to all the people present.

"Comrade Blyuchel, during the civil war, you were the commander-in-chief of the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic. Since 1924, you have been to China as a military adviser to participate in China's civil war. It can be said that you are the military general of the Soviet Union who knows China best. Then you Do you think now is a good time to launch a war against China? Can we defeat China in Mongolia and Northeast China?" Stalin still looked at Blyukher with a smile, and his smile gave off a very friendly feeling.

"Yes, Comrade General Secretary." Bliuchel bowed to Stalin. "Now China has not yet completed reunification. There are two governments in name. Zhang Xueliang in the Northeast is actually a semi-independent government. There are also Xinjiang, Tibet, and Yunnan. Strong independence. The enemy we are going to fight this time is the Beijing government. As we all know, the Beijing government is in a civil war with the Guangzhou government in the south. The National Defense Forces, that is, half of the army of the northern government is now confronting them in the southern battlefield with the Northern Expeditionary Army of the southern government. The army that can be mobilized, plus the Mongolian garrison, is only 15. As for Zhang Xueliang's army in the Northeast, although it claims to be 30, it is only intimidating in number. Their army's combat effectiveness is not much better than that of farmers with guns. It's the navy that poses the threat."

"That's right, it's the Navy, so what should we do, should we transfer warships from Europe?" Stalin interrupted Blyuchel and asked.
