Chapter 616 Kolchak Gold
"Old Maozi signed a contract with the Germans, and the Allied Powers were very angry. The countries planned to jointly send troops to intervene in Siberia to provide assistance to Lao Maozi's old nobles." Guo Songling, chief of staff under Shen Long, explained the world situation to the officers present on the map.
"Britain lacks troops in the East, so it can only draw 1,500 people from our domestic concession; Canada plans to send 1,600 people from Vladivostok to Omsk to support Kolchak; Lin Jianzhang will lead the cruiser Hai Rong to the north, and the land route will be handed over to us."
"In addition, there are 2,500 Italian soldiers. These soldiers were originally captured by Lao Maozi in Europe as the Austro-Hungarian army. They were transported to Siberia. According to the agreement reached with Lao Maozi, It will be transported from Siberia to Vladivostok, and then return to Europe by boat, and it happens that something happened to Lao Maozi, so they stayed, just to support Lao Maozi."
Hearing what Guo Songling said, Shen Long couldn't help laughing. The pasta was still in the same style as before, and the process of surrender and backstabbing was so neat and neat.
"The United States plans to send 15,000 soldiers to support Kolchak, and now 3,000 soldiers have arrived in Vladivostok; the Czechoslovak Legion now has about 10,000 soldiers in Lao Maozi; The division has 73,000 people, accounting for more than 80% of the intervention forces of the Allies."
"The current situation is like this. Let the big guys come today to discuss whether we should send troops, and if so, how many troops should be sent." Guo Songling looked at everyone after reporting the situation.
"In this way, the total strength of the Allied Powers is almost 100,000. With Kolchak and the others, the old Maozi is likely to split into two countries. This is a good thing for us." Zhu Chuanwu was very excited, " Of course we have to send troops, and finally have the opportunity to go abroad to fight the old man, how can we let it go?"
"Yes, we have been bullied by the old Maozi a lot these years. Now is the time to return. We should not only send troops, but also send more troops when he is sick and killing him!" said Yidaohong, who changed his name to Liu Zhenwei, and said, Over the past few years, Lao Maozi has caused disasters to the Northeast, and he has long wanted to take revenge.
"However, if too many troops are drawn, the Beiyang warlords in the pass and the little devils in the south may get twisted minds. We must guard against this." Someone reminded.
"The little devil is now focusing on Siberia, and I'm afraid that he won't have time to estimate the south for the time being; as for the customs, they will act according to the eyes of the Allied Powers. If they hold us back, Britain, France and other countries will definitely interfere." Zhu Chuanwu analyzed, "And with their little strength, we just need to leave some people to guard the Great Wall. I don't believe they have the guts."
There were a lot of discussions among the big guys, some were in support and some were against, but they still couldn't come up with a unified conclusion, so they turned their eyes to Shen Long, "Commander, can you give us an analysis?"
"In my opinion,
The most important thing is to clean up the old men in the territory first. "Now the Middle East Road is still in Lao Maozi's hands. If you don't take it back at this time, it will be difficult to take it back after the Red Empire has survived this wave of attacks." Don't underestimate Lao Maozi, although Now the Allies have sent so many people to Siberia, and there are people like Kolchak in the country, but they are not the opponents of Lao Maozi at all, and Lao Maozi cannot split into two countries. "
"Siberia is too cold, and the intervention soldiers of the Allied Powers are not in the same mind. This battle cannot be fought well!" The Czechoslovakia Legion was eager to go home. Britain, France and other countries had too few troops, and the little devils had lax military discipline. They were not the red army at all. opponent.
"So, our most important task right now is to clear the old men in the territory. We don't have to fight them desperately, just drive them out of the country. For the Allied Powers, let's let them go home and join Kolchak's army. "Shen Long said, "Then send a small amount of troops to Vladivostok to observe the strength of the British, French, Japanese and other military forces. Second, Vladivostok is our homeland. Let's drive a nail in order to negotiate in the future."
Over the past decade or so, Shen Long had already established a lofty prestige in the army. His judgments on the international situation had repeatedly hit the mark, including the direction of this world war. Therefore, although Guo Songling and Zhu Chuanwu still had doubts in their hearts, they quickly agreed with Shen Long. Long's plan.
The following plan is divided into two parts. Zhu Chuanwu led the army to clean up the old Maozi in the territory and took back the railway; Guo Songling took 3,000 people to Vladivostok. * Team performance.
Over the years, Shen Long has reached a good cooperative relationship with the Americans. When he went to Vladivostok, Guo Songling would stand on the same side as Major General Greaves of the US Army. Greaves believed that the US military did not have the responsibility to fight the local Bolsheviks. Conflicts and disputes occurred with British, French and Japanese commanders for the first time.
The old men in the Northeast were panicked by the domestic situation. Some wanted to stay in the Northeast or even take refuge in the customs, and some wanted to join Kolchak's army. Afterwards, most of the Lao Maozi were driven out of the Northeast, and the territory they occupied was returned to China.
And Guo Songling stayed in Vladivostok and started to build the camp. Every day, he and Major General Greaves quarreled with the officers of the British, French and Japanese at the meeting, and carefully observed the performance of the various military forces. The performance of the Japanese army made him shake his head. His military discipline is really bad, and he has lost a lot of combat effectiveness before he has fought much.
If they wait for the old Maozi to recover, they will definitely have a hard time. Guo Songling often receives news from Kolchak during this period, and is very surprised by the performance of the old Maozi's new army.
In addition, Shen Long also used the excuse of eliminating the old Maozi in the territory to increase the deployment of troops on the grassland, especially the strategic points such as Kulun and Qiaktu, and prepared to cooperate with Xu Shuzheng's future work.
The time soon came to October of the second year, and one year before the end of the First World War, Kolchak finally couldn't stand it anymore. Kolchak's army was defeated by his opponent in Tobolsk , At the same time, the connection between him and his ally Anton Ivanovich Denikin was also cut off, and Kolchak had to choose to retreat.
When retreating, Kolchak took hundreds of tons of gold with him. He planned to take the gold to the Pacific coast for a comeback. Unfortunately, he has no chance now.
