The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 211: Looting the Russian Treasury

.

spnps: The second update arrives!

The Trans-Siberian Railway, which is 9288 kilometers long, starts from Moscow, passes through the pine forest, crosses the Ural Mountains, crosses the Siberian tundra and finally arrives at the Pacific ice-free port of Vladivostok (Vladivostok). .

It will take more than a week to take the whole journey on this railway, and it is definitely a long railway that makes people vomit blood.

At this time, the Russian Far East and Siberia were in a state of bewilderment because of the October Revolution in St. Petersburg.

They didn't know whether to listen to the provisional government or the newly formed Red Bear. [

Listen to the provisional government?

But the Provisional Government is finished!

But it seems inappropriate to hear about the newly established red government. In this confusion, officials from the Far East and Siberia are all watching.

On this day, in Novosibirsk, Russia, the city was originally very busy. Trains from the Far East and Mongolia, China passed by every day, transporting a large amount of supplies to the Russian front.

But today's railway station is extremely deserted, because of the revolution in the capital Petrograd, the railway transportation has basically been paralyzed.

At this moment, a large military column drove over from the railway.

When the train stopped to refuel, the Russians on the train station were shocked and saw Chinese soldiers sitting on the train.

An officer in military uniform jumped out of the car. He showed an order, and then said to the person in charge of the station: "We are the Northwest National Defense Force of China. We are ordered to enter Russia to help the Russian Provisional Government suppress the revolution. Fill the train with fuel immediately. and water."

The officer told me in fluent Russian.

The person in charge of the station was stunned for a while, and saw two soldiers with submachine guns behind the officer staring at him.He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, fill up immediately."

The person in charge quickly asked the Russians at the station to refill the train with fuel and fresh water, while he secretly took the order and read it.

Seeing that it was an order signed 'Omsk Russian Independent Government', the person in charge, Erzhang Monk, was immediately puzzled.

When did this 'Omsk Russian independent government' emerge?

Then look at several other certificates, one of which is from the United Kingdom, one from France, and one from the United States.Suddenly he was dizzy.

Just as they filled up the fuel and water, another military column came behind, with a Chinese soldier on it, and many artillery pieces were loaded on the vehicle.

The alarmed Novosibirsk officials knew about this so-called "Omsk Russian independent government" and after inviting the Chinese army into Russia to suppress the revolution, they did not express anything, but chose to continue to wait and see.

Russia at this time.There are a lot of people sitting on the fence.

If the red bear hadn't touched the interests of those nobles, I'm afraid the subsequent civil war would not have occurred.However, it is impossible to get things done without relying on the red bears of the workers.

This is a class conflict that has become too intense to be reconciled. [

It's just that the revolution has not yet spread to Siberia, and the Russian upper class in Siberia doesn't know much about the policy of the red bear.

The Chinese military column set out from Mongolia and passed through Novosibirsk very smoothly.

A few hours later, the military column arrived in Omsk.

Omsk has changed hands at this time.With the cooperation of the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau, Balshak, the commander of the major stationed in Siberia, captured Omsk very smoothly, and there was almost no resistance during the whole process.

Borshak, who controlled Omsk, immediately won the support of those Russian middle and upper classes, and then successfully established the 'Omsk Russian Independent Government'.

I saw Balshak next to him, and several agents of the Chinese Military Intelligence Bureau were protecting him 24 hours a day.

Those agents walked steadily.His eyes were radiant, and he looked like Lian Jiazi.And the realm is not low.In name, it is 24-hour protection, but in fact it is a bit of a threat.

But during his captivity, Balshak had learned how to submit to China.

Only obedient can have good fruit to eat, but he is already the head of the major.A guy who ran away, not only escaped the investigation, but also got a promotion.

All this was achieved with the help of China's power.

A military train arrived at the Omsk Railway Station at this time. After the train stopped, a man in the uniform of a lieutenant general got off the train surrounded by crowds.

Balshak hurried up to meet him.

"Damn it, the bones are about to fall apart." Yang Hongfei jumped off the train angrily, and took a truck from the Mongolian military base to Omsk. In fact, it was only more than 3000 kilometers, but it took nearly two days.

"Welcome, welcome." After Balshak went up to meet him, he warmly shook hands with Yang Hongfei.

The shot of Yang Hongfei smiling and shaking hands with Balshak was frozen by the cameraman on the side, and became a precious historical material of China's military intervention in the Russian Revolution in the winter of 917.

The first batch of the Chinese Intervention Army consisted of five divisions, plus logistics and other personnel, a total of more than [-] people.

Yang Hongfei, commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, personally led the intervening army to Omsk. After a very short rest, the military trains drove towards Kazan, Russia.

And there was an extra battalion of Russian troops accompanying him.

That's right, only one battalion!

A battalion of Russian infantry used for appearances, just to keep the Russians from resisting.

Along the way, the Chinese intervention army passed through Russian cities almost without hindrance, and the Chinese intervention army did not get off the train to loot these cities, but went straight to Kazan.

The smoothness along the way made Yang Hongfei feel unbelievable. [

The huge Tsarist Russian Empire in the past has become almost defenseless in front of the Republic of China at this time. One hundred thousand troops drove straight in by train, and there was no one to stop them along the way.

At this time, most of Russia's troops were transferred to the European front to fight, and the revolution was only in the western part of Russia, while in the eastern part, there was a silence before the great change.

Since the Russian Emperor Nicholas II stepped down and the newly formed Russian provisional government was overturned by the revolution, the local governments along the way did not know who to ask for instructions.

In addition, the Chinese army not only has the official documents of the newly established Omsk government, but also documents proving the military intervention in Russia provided by Britain, France, and the United States.

This made local Russian officials even more afraid to stop them, and the Russian troops on the Sino-Russian border also shrank their heads after seeing these proofs.

Just when Yang Hongfei felt extremely unbelievable, the military column arrived at Kazan City.

Responsible for the defense of Kazan is a Russian infantry division, about 1 people.The Russian infantry division detected the arrival of the Chinese intervention army, and there was a riot immediately.

Kazan is an area where the Russian Revolutionary Party is relatively powerful. Lenin once attended university here, and then was expelled for making a speech that incited the revolution.

The revolutionary parties lurking underground have already controlled part of the army at this time, and are waiting for the revolutionary government in Petrograd to take over.

But the Chinese intervention army has come.

Yang Hongfei was afraid that he would change if he was late. As soon as the army arrived in Kazan, he immediately ordered an attack on Kazan.

The military discipline of the Russian army is corrupt, and China is here in the name of an interventionist army to suppress the revolution. The counterattack firepower of the Russian army in the city is sparse, like a patient who can't stop urinating.

It took only half an hour for the vanguard of the Chinese Intervention Army to enter the city of Kazan. At this time, the morale of the Russian army also collapsed, and they formally surrendered to the Chinese Intervention Army.

The Chinese intervention army invaded Kazan that day, but the accompanying Russian troops of that battalion were fighting outside. These Russian troops did not want to participate in the battle.

It's just that when Kazan was captured, they wanted to go in and take advantage of the fire, but they were stopped by the Chinese intervention army outside the city.

The Chinese intervention army did not pay many casualties, and easily took down the newly built city of the Turks.The Russians in the city were not generally affected by the revolution, and their will to resist was not strong, so they closed their homes tightly.

The map inside Kazan had already been drawn by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Chinese intervention army that entered Kazan followed the map all the way to the treasury of the Russian Central Bank.

At this time, the city of Kazan was also in a state of confusion, not even knowing why the Chinese intervention army launched an attack.

The army responsible for protecting the treasury of the Kazan Central Bank did not know whose allegiance it was for a while, so it was defeated.Those revolutionary parties did not completely control the military power, and they could not play any role in this battle. When they saw the Chinese army coming in, they all ran away with their heads in their arms.

The gold in the central bank's treasury has not been transferred in time, and no one has the right to transfer the gold, let alone who to ask for instructions.

In this way, when the Chinese intervention army opened the treasury of the Russian Central Bank, they were stunned by the piles of gold inside.

There really is gold!

Yang Hongfei came to the scene in a hurry, stayed there for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Quick, quick, put the gold in the box and put it on the train, and send a telegram to the military immediately. The plan has been successful."

"Yes."

The soldiers below immediately got busy, and at the same time, the messengers also started sending telegrams frantically.

"Commander, those Russian troops outside?" At this moment, Chief of Staff Qian Xingzong approached, and Yang Hongfei said without hesitation: "They are slaughtered, and the infantry battalion is also slaughtered, saying that they bravely entered the city first and were surrounded by rebels." , all sacrificed heroically."

……

Night fell, and it was destined to be a bloody night. The Russians who were hiding at home in fear heard gunshots from outside the city.

Thousands of Russian soldiers were stunned and fell into a pool of blood.

The Chinese soldiers moved the corpses together, poured gasoline on them and burned the corpses to the ground.

The thousands of tons of gold were all loaded onto the train and transported away overnight under strict protection.The Chinese Intervention Army continued to control Kazan.

The Chinese intervention army has taken control of the pier, and an organized and disciplined robbery is brewing.

The Russians under the night did not know that the wolf was coming. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation.)
