The train was running forward constantly. Stalin looked out the window and kept walking backwards, thinking silently in his heart that it was close to Central Asia. In terms of dimension, it was in the same dimension as Stalin's hometown. However, Azerbaijan was close to the Caspian Sea, where the climate was humid, so agriculture and animal husbandry were relatively developed. Central Asia was a desert. In addition to the areas where rivers flowed through and the arable land that could be irrigated, there were many remaining semi-desert areas. As a revolutionary, Stalin walked through a large number of places, some of which were actively passed by and some were exiled, but in this place bordering Central Asia, it was lush and green, which was too surprising.

Is China different from Russia? This is a rich place, but the dryness that comes from the air tells Stalin that it is extremely dry and God knows how these trees survive.

The trees that Stalin saw were exactly what China started afforestation project. From the water of Lake Baikal, the closest to Xinjiang, the tens of thousands of square kilometers occupied by Russia, extending this area around Xinjiang to Lake Baikal, and all included in China's border area. A water supply pipeline along the south side of Lake Baikal, transporting a large amount of water to the dry and water-deficient Xinjiang, which made a large number of areas that were not suitable for planting trees, and there was also the possibility of planting trees, because the saplings that had been planted for 2-3 years have grown to a considerable level with the support of sufficient water.

Soon, Stalin abandoned the idea in his heart. When and there was still time to consider this, he would soon enter Kazakhstan. Although Stalin had been to Kazakhstan, it was at least 8 years ago when he was young. It had not been so many years and had taken the army to occupy it. What would happen? Even with China's intelligence support, Stalin still had no idea. The specific situation depends on the situation of the war. Now the vanguard has entered Yili. Once this part of them arrives in Yili, those troops will set off immediately.

As the supreme leader of the Bolsheviks in China, Stalin could have enjoyed his achievements in the rear, and as a leader, he could bear the interests of the leadership, but Stalin firmly followed the vanguard. On the one hand, he has not yet become the supreme leader of the Bolsheviks. After entering Russia, the next test became even more severe. For Stalin, who was determined to become the Bolsheviks, or even the supreme leader of Russia, this period was quite critical. After China led more than ten cities, he was very addicted to the pleasure brought by this right and did not want to lose this right.

Even if he was at risk, he had to lead the way, with the vanguard, and the train was moving forward quickly. China's railway was developed, and Stalin had known before, but this time the troop transport made him truly feel that according to the map, they were in Mongolia, at least a few thousand kilometers away from Xinjiang, which was almost equivalent to going from Hailan to Novosibirsk, which was almost the whole of the middle section of the Siberian Railway.

Even when the Siberian Railway is connected, it will take at least 5 days to walk through this section. The Siberian Railway can only speed up to about 40 kilometers. In some cases, the average speed is 35 kilometers per hour, which is considered a transportation hub. However, the Chinese are even more terrifying. The average speed is three times that of the Siberian Railway. In more than ten hours, they arrived in Yili from the Russian city.

The train transporting Stalin was just loaded with a regiment of soldiers and weapons. They did not stop. Just one day before they arrived, the vanguard had already set off. They had to chase them. A few hundred kilometers away, the border between China's Xinjiang and Kazakhstan will be reconciled, and then enter Kazakhstan.

Although there is no border line in this era, in this era, there is no strict sense of national borders. As long as anyone is strong, he can cross his own country to occupy other countries' land. China has no extra step forward on Kazakhstan. At most, it can straighten in the curve and may occupy part of the territory. Kazakhstan does not care about this. Their core area is in another direction, close to Xinjiang, which is a barren land.

The closer it is to the border, the more different Stalin feels. This area is considered a desertified area in Central Asia, and is relatively barren in all aspects. China has planted various plants as much as possible, but the proportion of vegetation is quite high, and it is impossible to complete the overall structure, especially in Kazakhstan, which looks like yellow is still the mainstream color.

There were 6 divisions, a vanguard of 150,000 people, including the First Bolshevik Division, which was the most elite Bolshevik force. However, when entering Kazakhstan, the next road would be much harder to go. China still supported two construction teams of 3,000 people each. With the help of nearly 30,000 civilians, they had begun to follow the troops and began to build two ordinary roads. Time was tight and there was no way to build high-standard roads. However, it was okay to consolidate the foundation, mix three-mix soil and concrete as the foundation, and then lay a thin layer of asphalt.

Compared with cement, the difficulty of obtaining asphalt is simpler. China has developed the Baku oil field on a large scale. Most of the residues in the oil transported back are asphalt after cracking. These things that cannot be made into refined oil are partly used as the construction materials for urban roads. The outside of the city is still cement. Compared with asphalt, cement is relatively durable. In addition, cement is made in the northwest for a long time. Especially with the help of an all-in-one machine, many high-grade cements have been studied. Not only does it condense quickly, but it also has a much longer solidification and use time.

Unfortunately, these are far-reaching waters that cannot relieve near-thirst thirst. Even with the help of a large amount of manpower, these two roads can at most follow the Russian army's footsteps, rather than helping them move forward in advance. Basically, most of the Russian army travels lightly, and heavy weapons basically follow the road and move forward slowly.

Stalin didn't care about this. On the first day of entering Kazakhstan, he only traveled 37 kilometers, and then set up camp next to a water source. The entire Kazakhstan has more than 1 million square kilometers, basically more than 1,000 kilometers in the southeast, northwest and north. It takes at least 30 days from Xinjiang to the hinterland of Kazakhstan. This is the premise that everything goes well. It's still early, and even Kazakhstan's settlement area has not been encountered. They didn't find such a huge army that entered the hinterland of Kazakhstan.

The commanders of the six divisions, as well as some senior officers, and senior party leaders, were all concentrated in Stalin's large tent. This was a huge tent with a total of more than 40 square meters. There were two smaller ones next to it, one as a guard platoon, and the other was a Chinese liaison team, composed of 12 officers, including a responsible colonel and a special intelligence officer, who were responsible for contacting the Chinese side using radio stations.

This is a unique unit, all the Chinese are responsible for. The Bolsheviks have always been very polite to Chinese officers. Stalin, including him, understand that if the Bolsheviks wanted to gain power, it would be almost impossible without the support of China. There is no gain in knowledge from China. Modern warfare is no longer based on personal courage, and requires a lot of preparation, industry, logistics, steel, and Bolsheviks. Even if they have money to buy weapons, will the country established by the Bolsheviks always rely on this? If the Chinese fight, they can only surrender. Without the ability to produce weapons, just rely on inventory, there will always be a day when it is consumed.

On one wall of the tent, a striking map attracted everyone's attention. This is a map with an accuracy of 10 meters, and it is also the clearest map Stalin has ever seen. It not only includes the direction of each mountain range and river, but even the small village with only 10 households is displayed on the map. The only thing Stalin needs to do is to enter those key areas and kill the armed forces. The previous path is not familiar, the river blocks the road, and even the city cannot be found.

China's intelligence reconnaissance relies on reconnaissance aircraft. Although there are supplementary reconnaissance by special forces on the ground, Kazakhstan in Central Asia is not the focus of China. They can tell Stalin that the exact map and the location of urban villages are the only ones left. Fortunately, Stalin's troops are full of talents, and there are even about 5,000 of them, soldiers from Kazakhstan.

The main force of the Bolshevik army was transformed from the soldiers of the Russian Far East Military Region. The Far East is a barren land in the Russian sequence. In this place, people located in Europe are unwilling to come. Most of them are Central Asia and the European part close to the Ural Mountains. It is normal for many Kazakhstan soldiers to be given. As early as when China did not provide intelligence support, Stalin was preparing to concentrate most of the Kazakhstan soldiers and people, preparing to make a map, and barely created a general map with Chinese support, and their map could be thrown away, but this group of people was still useful.

These people have been captured for more than two years, but the slow process of transformation in Central Asia will not change significantly in all aspects. According to the memories of these Kazakh soldiers, the largest force in Kazakhstan should be Russia. Due to the discontinuation of the Siberian railway and the occupation of Siberia, this part of the Russian forces may only rely on Central Asia's supplies. Even if they are not withdrawn, their strength will be reduced a lot. Most of the Russian troops were previously distributed in Orenburg. If there is no accident now, they are still there. There is a first target strike. (To be continued.)
