Chapter 694 Red Cyclonus (1)
That's right, when the generals and schoolmen of the Usti Ilimsk Division finished the dinner tonight, as the border guards of Tsarist Russia, their mission was completely completed.
Because when they were still drinking the Mongolian pot that was extremely intense and tasted as they were facing the delicious food prepared by Shi Xiangzhen, they were still drinking with joy, and the intensity and taste were extremely suitable for their appetites under the night sky, and the red iron streams had begun to cross the border and swept up an unstoppable rush.
Similar situations were almost performed at the same time on the long border line defended by the Northern Military Region.
Some people may say that this is too ridiculous and is simply a joke.
Actually, it is not the case.
Since the Tsarist Russian government signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance between the Tsarist Russian government and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government that kept its promises has not only provided various huge assistance and support in the economic development of Tsarist Russia, but also put in considerable efforts to build the Tsarist Russian army.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government not only used batches of new rifles to arm the Tsarist Russian army, but also was so careful that it helped them rebuild a complete set of various exercises that suited the requirements of modern practical combat, which made the Tsarist Russian army, which had already been old, rejuvenated.
No matter how stupid a person is, he will understand that if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government did not regard Tsarist Russia as its closest friend, how could it be so generous and unscrupulous?
In order to obtain the continuous and greater help from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, both the Tsarist Russian government of Alexander II and the representatives of all classes, they not only spared no effort, but also kept shouting and beautifying the friendship and intimacy between the two countries for more than ten years, and also made many gestures in some specific actions.
Even on the issue of military garrison that concerns the safety of a country, Alexander II's Tsarist Russian government also showed considerable friendship with the allies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In such a large eastern region, only three legions were deployed, a total of twelve divisions of armed forces.
Of course, when countless people are indulging in this enthusiastic friendly atmosphere between China and Russia, some people still claim to be very clear-headed, and they can even be sober to bring all the assistance and support of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government to Russia. Even every word the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government says to Tsarist Russia is all attributed to two incisive words - conspiracy.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government helped their Tsarist Russia revitalize its economy was a conspiracy, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government used a large number of modern weapons to equip the Russian army was a conspiracy. Even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government praised their Tsar Alexander II as a great contributor to China-Russia friendship. They also regarded it as a conspiracy.
However, these so-called "conspiracy theorists" are like a few small loaches drilling into the mud of rivers in today's Tsarist Russia. No matter how happy they shout, they will not cause any waves.
In order to please the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people, the Tsarist government can actually make extremely dangerous behaviors in the national defense plan that concerns the survival of the country, naturally conspiracy theorists will not shout warning slogans:
This is exactly what the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom people are looking forward to!
In fact, Alexander II himself was also nervous about the issue of not being able to place more troops in the eastern region. After all, he was a Russian Tsar who was able to own the vast territory of the present by advocating force. It is impossible not to know the threat of being away from the sharp sword.
However, Alexander II insisted on not changing.
The reason is very simple. If too many troops were stationed in the east, what would the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom think?
Do you have to hold a sharp sword in your hand to feel at ease when you receive a generous gift from someone? It's simply outrageous!
Under the influence of such a "Har-China" environment that swept across Tsarist Russia, the Tsarist Russian officers and soldiers at the front-line window units naturally had to be intimate with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers on the opposite side as brothers. Gradually, in the minds of these Tsarist Russian border guards with the curse of "must show the greatest friendship", this deeply rooted concept was naturally formed:
What exists between their Tsarist Russia and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is an absolutely unbreakable close ally relationship.
At their feet, the so-called boundary line has become just a formal sign. Whether it is the past or the coming over there, it has become commonplace. Are you brothers? It is really normal to visit each other.
Of course, such an extremely harmonious and good environment can appear on the boundary line, which is closely related to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the other side of the boundary line.
As the largest military region of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army, the northern military region not only has only five regular troops under its jurisdiction, but also are busy with undertakings such as agriculture and animal husbandry, bridge construction and road construction, etc., which are completely unrelated to military affairs in the hinterland of the Mongolian Autonomous Region.
Within a depth of hundreds of miles close to the border line, except for the border stations and border posts that must be set up, which are managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government, there is no regular Red Army unit at all.
However, without a regular Red Army unit, it does not mean that a regular Red Army unit will never come.
At this point, the only thing that the Tsarist Russians missed too much.
In fact, there are quite a considerable number of Tsarist Russians in both the Buryat Krai region of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and the Mongolian Autonomous Region. Among them, there are special personnel who have collected political, economic, and military intelligence for their Tsarist Russia in this way or that.
But unfortunately, in a country that could be regarded as a pagan country that could be believed in for thousands of years, which was a belief that could be believed in for money, and Orthodoxism, which should be "Confucianism", could you still expect his subjects to put themselves in their shoes and think about it?
Surely impossible.
Driven by the great motivation of looking at money, Tsarist Russia tried his best to send special staff into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, either became businessmen-like speculators who only knew what money was, and would use money as a measure of everything, or simply transformed into "staff" who directly received the salary of the Taiping Heavenly Ministry of Interior.
Therefore, Alexander II knew nothing about all the movements of the Northern Military Region of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from beginning to end.
In this way, Tsarist Russia, which claimed to have a powerful army that could be ranked at least fourth in the world and a powerful navy that could also be ranked fourth in the world, was easily broken through the entire Far Eastern border by the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in just a moment. And the only five first-line divisions arranged on the long border line naturally became history without any suspense.
It must be noted that under Shi Xiangzhen's Northern Military Region, there are indeed only five regular armed forces.
The numbers of these five armies are:
The Fourth Army, the 22nd Army, the 23rd Army, the 24th Army, the 24th Army, and the 2nd Cavalry Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
But it must also be worth mentioning that if you still regard the above five armies as real five armies, then there is no place to make any decision.
You should know that after more than ten years of development, although the troops under the Northern Military Region seem to have decreased from the original eight armies to only five armies now, the strength of these five armies is difficult to compare with even the original eight armies.
Let’s talk about Liu Canglin’s Second Cavalry Army first.
The Second Cavalry Army, which was first transferred from the Northwest Army to the Northern Military Region, was only nearly 10,000 people. As for the new carriage rifles that were loved by the Red Army of the Celestial Dynasty, were immediately galloping across the land, which could only be envied and jealous of most soldiers.
However, the current Second Cavalry Army has eight cavalry divisions under its jurisdiction, with a number of more than 40,000.
In terms of hardware, each soldier of the Second Cavalry Army not only has three fat and strong war horses he rides, but also the weapons in his hands are even more so-called cavalrymen in Tsarist Russia who dare not even think about it, such as cavalry, grenade launcher, and even the most advanced machine guns in the world today are definitely not rare in the Second Cavalry Army.
Similarly, the current Red Fourth Army, the Red 22nd Army, the Red 23rd Army and the Red 24th Army are by no means comparable to those in the past. When the rolling iron stream of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army flew into Tsarist Russia, what was rolled up was a terrifying rush composed of nearly one million red soldiers.
The troops on both sides of the border have replenished their energy with their fruits and used the fruits of hard work to lay a convenient and broad passage for them to suddenly move forward one day in the future. On the other side, they are indulging in the humming tune of "My door is always open, and everything is to be happy", and spend every day of their chaotic days.
So, in front of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which suddenly turned against each other, just like the Usti Ilimsk division, several front-line border defense troops of Tsarist Russia were instantly destroyed.
Later, Ust Ilimsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Tomsk, a model city for friendly cooperation between Tsarist Russia and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, were also flooded by the surging iron currents of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army in a blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Xiangzhen personally led Ye Yun's Red Fourth Army and Lai Yu's new Red 24th Army, led by more than 40,000 cavalry of the Second Cavalry Army of Liu Canglin, who was sailing in front of lightning, and fiercely swept along the Eurasian continent bridge toward the central hinterland of Tsarist Russia.
Behind them, Wei Jun's Red Twenty-third Army latched a dense net composed of nine divisions of Red Army soldiers to the Thornton River Legion west of the Tunguska River. (To be continued...)
