Rebirth of the National Marshal

"Don't chase them. We don't know what's going on over there. Send a telegram to the company headquarters to tell them what's going on here and request support. I think the Soviets will not give up after so many casualties. If they really mobilize a large force, it will be useless for us 20 brothers. Go back and check our weapons and ammunition, and ask the logistics department to replenish our weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. We may have to fight another battle." Although the squad leader had not read much, he understood the principle of not chasing a desperate enemy. Besides, if we chase them, we have crossed the border, and it will be difficult to say if we get sued in the future.

Chahar Provincial Government

"What? The Russian border guards actually crossed the border and opened fire at our checkpoint?" Mao Yuanshan seemed not to believe this. You have to know that this has never happened in history.

"This is a telegram from our border security group. There was indeed an army attacking us tonight. To be exact, it happened half an hour ago." In half an hour, the news from thousands of miles away had reached Mao Yuanshan. This speed of transmission was the only thing that could be achieved in this world, and only Mao Yuanshan could do it.

This historical deviation seems to be quite serious.

"Order the Seventh Regiment to immediately send support to the post where the conflict occurred, and the Eighth and Ninth Regiments of Security to be on standby at any time." As soon as Mao Yuanshan finished speaking the command, the staff of the headquarters, including Zhang Zizhong, were stunned. What was he going to do? The Japanese hadn't been dealt with yet, so were they going to clash with the Soviets? You know, in the minds of the Chinese, the Maozi were more powerful than the Japanese.

"What's wrong with you? You should know that the Russians' demands for territory are not much less than those of the Japanese. They used to be a small principality around Moscow. After hundreds of years of expansion, they are now the country with the largest territory in the world. Even we have more than 100 million square kilometers of land in their hands. Whenever they want to find you, they are after your land. I originally thought that I would solve the Mongolian problem later, but I didn't expect them to come to me." Young Master Mao took a sip of the tea and said.

"I know what you said, Yuanshan, but we are having a hard time dealing with the Japanese right now. If we face such a tough Soviet force, we really won't be able to cope with it. Why don't we report this matter to the central government and let the central government negotiate for them? It may just be a small conflict in the border area, and there's no need to make such a big deal about it." Zhang Zizhong said after thinking for a while.

"I think what the chief of staff said makes sense. After all, no matter how powerful we are, we are just a local government and we have no right to communicate with a country." Xie Tianhua's words also represent the words of most of the staff in the headquarters.

"We went to the central government, but what would the central government do? Would they ask the League of Nations to help us mediate? But the Soviet Union is not a member of the League of Nations at all, so the League of Nations is of no use at all. What has the central government helped us solve over the years? With the help of the central government, we lost the Northeast and North China. Although the central government has begun to fight against Japan, their bureaucratic system will kill us. We have tens of thousands of troops stationed there. What is the army for? The army is used to defend our country. If our army can't even protect our territory, then what is the point of them?" Mao Yuanshan was trying to tell them a problem, and that was responsibility.

"If we do not take any action, do you think the Soviets will definitely do the same as us? That's impossible. In the eyes of the Soviets, we are the representatives of backwardness. If we are backward, we will be beaten. This is an unchanging fact. If we take the initiative to attack them, they will definitely send troops over." Mao Yuanshan's words made some people understand that even if you don't take tough measures, others will still beat you.

"As far as I know, the Soviet weapons and equipment are a level stronger than the Japanese. Although the Far East Military Region is not the Soviet's main military region, their equipment should be very powerful. We have zero intelligence in this regard, so we need to be cautious in making any decision." Xie Tianhua has a good habit, that is, when his boss makes any decision, he will immediately demonstrate his ability to this decision. He has been in Europe for a period of time and has some understanding of the Soviet military strength.

"I know something about this. I heard that the leader of the Soviets seems to have gone crazy recently, killing their military chiefs. It is said that their combat effectiveness has dropped a lot." Chahar is located at the border between the two countries. Some news about the Soviets was passed on by some businessmen. Zhang Zizhong also has relationships with some businessmen, so he has also heard about some recent events in the neighboring country to the north.

Mao Yuanshan was very familiar with this purge movement.

The main reason was that some military cadres or high-ranking government officials under Su Lian did not want to follow the current head of state, Sri Lanka, and they wanted to change a national leader. However, their affairs were leaked and Sri Lanka knew the news, so Sri Lanka created a series of white terrors to catch these people in one fell swoop. The final result was that all those who wanted to cause trouble died.

If hundreds of thousands of people died in a country, it might not be a big deal. But the deaths in Sulian's country were different. They were all leaders in various fields. They could be said to be useful people, especially the military commanders in the army.

Without these military commanders, the army's combat effectiveness immediately declined significantly.

Just like the Soviet border guards coming over the border, if the original military commander could still make decisions, he would definitely not let such a large number of people come over without any hesitation. Even if it was a robbery, he would definitely send out a vanguard team to conduct reconnaissance before letting the main force come over.

Mao Yuanshan was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Soviets. In the early stages of World War II, the Germans almost wiped out the main forces of the Soviets.

Later, if it weren't for the blood transfusions from the United States and Britain, Su Lian would not have been able to hold on.

Moreover, the Soviets' main fighting method was human wave tactics. If they were facing a country with strong military force, this tactic would definitely not win. However, they were facing the Germans who were already at the end of their strength in World War II, so they won.

If the Germans had half the production capacity of the Americans at that time, the Soviets would not have been able to reach Berlin.

It is precisely because he is familiar with this information that Mao Yuanshan is not so afraid of the Soviets. In his view, this so-called fighting nation relies on brute force. As long as his weapons and equipment are advanced enough and his training is better than theirs, it is only a matter of time before he defeats them. Besides, they do not have the support of the United States and Britain now!

And Xie Tianhua also said just now that the Far East Military Region can be said to be the least popular military region in the Soviet army, because there is no danger in the Far East Military Region. The only people around it are Chinese and Japanese. Although the Japanese have developed rapidly recently, they are still not taken seriously.

Although the Japanese had defeated the Russians miserably during the Russo-Japanese War and even lost some rights and interests in Northeast China, the Germans did not consider the defeat as their own, because at that time it was Tsarist Russia that had nothing to do with us, the Soviet Union.

"Now is an opportunity for us. The Soviets look down on us, so the army they send will not be that strong. We can take this opportunity to take back Mongolia in one fell swoop. As long as we take Mongolia, our strategic depth will be more than twice what it is now." Mao Yuanshan's ambition is the whole of Mongolia, which really shocked the staff again.

"This...this seems a little inappropriate." Zhang Zizhong couldn't clearly explain what was wrong, but he felt that taking Mongolia back was not such a simple matter. If it were that simple, would the Chinese government have dragged it on for so many decades?

"The only thing that is inappropriate is that you think it is inappropriate in your hearts, because we Chinese have been weak for too long. In your eyes, the Japanese invaders want us to perish. We can pick up guns to deal with them, but you feel a little guilty when you ask us to take back the advantages taken by imperialism." Mao Yuanshan's words made the people here feel enlightened.

"You know what, it seems to be true." Xie Tianhua also felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. When Mao Yuanshan said it out, she realized that it was her own psychological problem.

Yes, what Mao Yuanshan said is absolutely right. It is because these people are psychologically afraid of foreigners, especially those from European and American countries. They are more afraid of them than they are of the Japanese devils.

"Actually, the fighting power of these Soviets is not as good as that of the Japanese. The reason why the Soviets are stronger than the Japanese on the surface is that their industrial strength is stronger than that of the Japanese. But look at our current position. We are too far away from the core area of ​​the Soviets. It is impossible for them to move the entire country's power to this place, so we are still very advantageous." There was indeed a vast territory on the map, but Mao Yuanshan had also made up his mind that the land of Siberia would definitely be his.
