Chapter 73 Novosibirsk

.Novosibirsk was less than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, it was still a small immigrant village. However, since Tsarist Russia began to plan... to build the Siberian Railway, the city's population increased. At the same time, large population clusters such as Novosibirsk, Barnaul, Tomsk, Kererovo, Novosibirsk, and Bisk have gradually formed in the plains between the Ob River and the Ertzis Rivers, with a total population of nearly one million.

Although Novosibirsk has just been built, it has come from behind, with a population far exceeding the cities of Barnaul and Tomsk, which have a history of one or two hundred years. It is positioned as the throat of the Far East. Several large factories have been built, including steel plants, and many industrial projects are still under construction to support the various needs of railway construction and immigration in the entire Siberia.

But today, the entire Novosibirsk was in a state of crazy chaos. Just a few days ago, the commander of the Central Army, Seruchi, vowed to protect the security of the entire southeastern plain of Western Siberia. However, last night, citizens discovered that the army was evacuating secretly, and well-informed people revealed that this secret retreat had lasted for several days.

The rumors that were getting worse and worse were finally confirmed by the violent explosions at several factories this morning. Soldiers entered the factory, dismissed workers, and began to blow up equipment that destroyed the factory. The Novosibirsk City Hall posted a notice requiring citizens to evacuate, but the railway would be blown up after the last batch of soldiers retreated. The City Hall called on citizens to retreat on foot and orderly, and the City Hall would send a liaison team to organize this major retreat.

At the same time, officials from the Fourth Police Department stationed in Novosibirsk and other cities began to contact the citizens, preparing to set up a secret armed rebel army to fight against them underground after the arrival of the Chinese, and at the same time waiting for the ancestral team to recover the lost territory.

〖Police〗The Fourth Office of Police was originally a notorious security agency that secretly massacred dissidents, but during the reign of Alexander II, its power was very restricted, and it has now transformed into a vanguard of the organization of front-line militia resistance.

Citizens rushed to the train station one after another. After General Thurucci, who was standing in front of the train station, was attacked by the citizens with stones, this moving speech soon turned into a farce. Citizens rushed into the station and wanted to occupy the train that had not yet driven. They were blocked by the force of the military and police, and quickly evolved into violent confrontation. Finally, after the angry citizens came like a tide of firearms, the military and police used their guns to strafuse them.

Amid the harsh whistle, the train slowly started with black smoke. On the platform, desperate Russian citizens were everywhere, gunshots, corpses, and blood.

The old man held the crying child and chased the train hard, begging loudly, asking him to bring his grandson with him.

A young man who had just crossed the cordon was quickly hit by a bullet and staggered to the ground.

Standing in front of the glass window of the carriage and looking at the chaotic and bloody scene on the platform, Thurucci was suffering in great pain. If the citizens were notified in advance, the entire city would fall into great chaos. The army could not evacuate in an orderly manner, nor could it destroy the industrial facilities in Novosibirsk in the shortest time.

However, abandoning one's own citizens is a shame for a professional soldier who cannot accept no matter what.

"Bang" A newspaper was posted on the car window, which read "traitor" Thurucci, who took two steps back like a conditioned reflex. Only then did he see clearly that a young Caucasian face ran along the train angrily, roaring hysterically. From his mouth shape, he was yelling: "Thurucci! You betray us, go to hell! Bastard!"

The train gradually speeded up, and the young man slapped the car window. Although he was running hard, he could not keep up with the speed of the train and gradually fell behind.

Seruqi looked at him silently and closed his eyes in pain.

Six days later, the Third Infantry Regiment of the Second Division of the Royal Chinese Army Xiangshan Army entered Novosibirsk. Although it encountered resistance from some armed citizens, it quickly controlled the situation.

More than twenty days later, the Central Army Command of Niangniang Su moved to the military camps in the suburbs of Novosibirsk. At the same time, all the Russian towns in the southeast plain were occupied by the Central People.

Although a large number of Russians fled, from Novosibirsk to Omsk is a no-man's land of hundreds of kilometers, and the traffic conditions are extremely bad. Wild animals appear and winter gradually comes. When the railway line is destroyed, it is easy to encounter danger to migrate with family members, not to mention that the family business is difficult to abandon, and the Russians who eventually stay in the occupied area still account for the vast majority.

While the Chinese garrison was strictly enforcing the weapons confiscation order in various cities, it posted a notice from Anmin, saying that it would never search and occupy the property of citizens from door to door. However, ten days later, if citizens who have not yet handed over their guns and weapons, they will be regarded as rebels. Once they encounter citizens with guns, Chinese soldiers think their lives are threatened, they can use any weapon to fight back as soon as possible.

During this period, a large number of civil servants from the Central Plains also entered cities such as Siberia and began to establish municipal governments for various cities.

Some famous Russians who failed to leave the army were invited to join the municipal government. They were either forced or voluntarily, but gradually discovered that doing things under the Chinese was better able to safeguard the interests of the Russians in the occupied areas. These Chinese officials were gentle and polite, and were completely without the arrogantness of the occupier. Perhaps no matter what, Eastern culture was implicit and restrained.

The tough and arrogant people sometimes show, in the eyes of these Russian officials who serve the Chinese, may be more in line with their understanding and definition of the image of the occupier.

After the deadline for the time limit for confiscation of guns was exceeded, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army was moved to Novosibirsk City, officially named "Second Front Command".

The commander was originally the garrison of the Fourth Office of the Novosibirsk Mission, the Russian Police Headquarters. Now the entire block is blocked, with three steps and five steps. Even if you are a municipal government official, you will be unable to move without a special pass.

This is a Russian colorful building, with tall domes and gray stones. The neighborhood is next to it is a church.

The power grid was pulled up on the high courtyard wall of the commander's headquarters.

Next to the gate of the courtyard, the bayonet with live ammunition was shining.

In the courtyard, a two-story building is the main building, and there are several pointed houses on both sides. Telegram lines have been connected to the courtyard, and a telephone line has been set up between the emergency liaison room of the commander-in-chief and the city hall.

While the matchmaker held a military meeting in the conference room on the second floor of the Commander's headquarters, in a waterside pavilion in the Old Summer Palace, a blind old man was creaking and pulling the erhu with a desolate tone. He sang in a strange tone: "In 1937, the Japanese devils entered the Central Plains, opened Lugou Bridge 1 first and then went to Shanhaiguan 1..."

Ye Zhao sat on the other side of the water pavilion, closing his eyes to rest.

Sharava finally found Ye Zhao. Looking at the two lonely people in the pavilion, seeing Ye Zhao and the blind old man sitting back to back against the water pavilion pillar, Sharava was very surprised and walked over quickly and asked, "Sweetheart, what is he singing?" The blind old man had extremely good ears. Hearing the footsteps, the erhu sounded suddenly. Because the noble man who often helped him had already instructed him to not sing the songs he taught him to sing in front of anyone, although he didn't know what he was singing.

Ye Zhao opened his eyes and smiled: "Nothing?" He didn't look back, but reached out and patted the old man on the shoulder. "I'm leaving, the old man, the old rule, I'll turn around and ask someone to take you home."

The erhu creaked, which was the old man's response.

Ye Zhao smiled and stood up, took Sharaba's hand, and walked towards Changchang Gallery.

When invading Russia, Ye Zhao didn't know why he listened to these songs of "Lat Dashuan" and sat with this blind old man. The world was vast. Looking back on his life, this emperor who was ambitious in the eyes of many foreigners to surrender to many countries at his feet would think of many things, and perhaps, he was also sublimating himself so that he would not become a real mad conqueror.

Novosibirsk China Army Command, Chief of Staff Suna met with the Deputy Mayor of Novosibirsk, Trubetzkoy, the son of the Duke of Old Trubetzkoy, the leader of the Decline Party.

More than 40 years ago, the revolutionaries who used the "National Salvation Association" and the "Happiness Association" as Lou style revolt while Tsar Alexander I died and demanded the establishment of a republic government. In the end, the uprising was suppressed by bloody suppression. The aristocrats and intellectuals who participated in the uprising were collectively called the "Decembers".

The Decemberists were bloody suppression, and a large number of leaders and those involved were sentenced to death. The old Duke of Trubetskoy was exiled to Siberia because of his noble status.

Now the old duke has long passed away, and the young Trubetskoy is far from politics and has become a businessman. He has accumulated some wealth over the years.

However, although his father was one of the leaders who resisted the Tsarist rule, he was not dissatisfied with the current Tsarist government, various secret groups that have become active again in recent years have also tried to contact him, and most of them have been turned away.

Trubetskoy is undoubtedly extremely painful now that he is forced to enter the pseudo-government established by the Chinese, but he also knows that if no one stands up and argues with the Chinese, the lives of the Russians in the occupied areas will become even more miserable.

After the Imperial Police System was on track, Suna was transferred to the General Staff, and this time he was the deputy of the matchmaker to command the Central Theater Command.

As one of the longest-time confidants around Ye Zhao, Suna is quite talented and enters the semi-civilian official system. She also sorted out the (Police) Police Bureau in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as one of the most skilled versatile players in Ye Zhao, especially because he taught himself Russian, which is rare among imperial generals.

The matchmaker of the meeting between Suna and Trubetskoi was not involved. Although the news that she was the commander of the Second Front Army of the Empire was no longer a secret, she still didn't like to go to the front for many things, especially when dealing with foreigners. She never came forward in person. Even if she caught the Tsar's brother, she just took a few glances. Psychologically, she disdained the Western barbarians to deal with them.

But through the curtains in the inner room, the matchmaker was drinking tea, and the conversation between Suna and Trubetskoy was heard.

Trubetskoy knew that the "China" side was different from civilian officials, and the military officers were extremely tough, but he did not expect that the other party's chief of staff, General Su, showed a rare affinity and patience. Listening to his various requests, he had no impatient expression, smiled and listened carefully.

After Trubetskoy suggested that the Chinese people could reduce the number and frequency of temporary home inspections, Suna smiled and said with a smile: "This can be done, and I also hope that Mr. Trubetskoy would help the city hall organize the municipal police station as soon as possible." In fact, in terms of Novosibirsk, although as promised, there was no large-scale search of "suspects" from house to house, through random inspections, more than one-third of the Russian families had been searched by the middle-aged people.

Trubetzkoy felt relieved. Seeing that General Su was kind, hesitated for a moment and asked, "General Su, I heard that your army had massacred more than 10,000 civilians in Tomest East. I wonder if the rumors were true?" In Trubetzkoy's impression, the Chinese people's military discipline was excellent, especially because he knew what his country's army did when fighting abroad. Not to mention fighting abroad, even if it was to suppress civilian riots, there were often horrifying massacres and other bad deeds.

Although the Chinese people entering Novosibirsk often beat and scolded Russians and shot civilians, they were all in the early stages of entering the city, and there were no signs of collective violence.

Now the garrison in the city has gradually retreated to the military camp outside the city. After ten days of hearing, the city will only retain the security forces of the commander and the necessary security forces. In this way, the lives of the residents in the city will soon return to normal.

Although Trubetskoy was unwilling to admit it, the discipline and high quality of the 〖Zhong team made him sigh. It was not a lucky chance to defeat the ancestral team.

Therefore, when it was rumored that the citizens of Tomsk were slaughtered by the Chinese, Trubetskoy did not believe it very much.

When Suna heard Trubetskoi's question, she sighed: "A large number of civilians in Tomsk were armed and stood together with the security forces. It is inevitable that they will die and injured in the battle. The number is not as exaggerated as you said. However, there is indeed a case of unarmed civilians being killed by manslaughter. Our investigation team is conducting a rigorous investigation."

Trubetskoy nodded slightly and said, "I hope your army will punish the murderers severely." Naturally, he believed Suna's statement.

At this time, Suna said: "Mr. Trubetzkoy, you have made many requests, and we also make a request to you. I hope that Mr. Trubetzkoy will organize workers to resume work as soon as possible, start factories that can be started, repair all repairable machines in factories that are not seriously damaged, and the land of the escaped farm owners also needs to be hired. I hope you can help us restore normal economic activities in Novosibirsk."

Novosibirsk is a sensitive industry that has been severely damaged, but some light industrial workshops have not been affected, and some factories have machines that can be repaired.

Trubetskoy hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, this is my duty, I will do it well." It seems to be helping the Chinese people, but it is also for the survival of the entire city's people. If the economic activities of the entire city stagnate, the civilians will eventually suffer. The Chinese team naturally has no worries about food and clothing. The civilians who starve to death will always be the occupied areas.

On the bamboo chair in the inner room, the matchmaker opened a page of the document, which was the initial investigation report of the abnormal death of civilians in Tomsk. Because a security force in this city resisted stubbornly, a large number of armed civilians participated. After the city was broken, some civilians were indeed shot dead. Some Russian women were forced to do so, and the investigation team sent by the commander-in-chief is under investigation.

Looking at this investigation report, the matchmaker couldn't help but remember what Ye Zhao said to her half-jokingly and half-seriously. The standard for judging the security zone is very simple. The local security situation can be seen from the eyes of the Russian girl. First, there is absolutely no trace of the girl. It is a proof of fear of the people in the middle, which is "bad public security". Second, we feel strange about our vehicles and horses and look away from the window. It is "a little better public security". Third, under the previous situation, when we walked out of the doorstep, the Russian girl walked calmly on the street with people in the middle, which is "good public security."

Giving the dignity of the Russians in the ruling area and provoking the contradiction between the Russians and the Tsarist regime is the only way to stabilize the occupied area.

Now, this war has gradually entered a new stage. After the Russian army retreated sharply, its troops have penetrated into Tsarist Russia. Before launching an offensive next spring, a large number of war materials will be transported to the southeast plain. There is no doubt that there are resistance organizations in this Russian gathering area. It is difficult for our own side to mobilize, material reserves and other information to be kept confidential, but the attack points that the Russians can choose have become more, such as their own supply lines, military supplies warehouses, and scattered troops.

Such a stable public security in the occupied areas became extremely important, especially after careful consideration by the Privy Council, since the current Southeast Plain is the frontline of combat, the possibility of re-occupation by the Russians in future wars is not ruled out, so the decision to temporarily not immigrate to the Southeast Plain. In such a situation, it is even more impossible to give the Russians a soil for the survival and growth of the resistance organization.

After Trubetskoy said goodbye, the matchmaker and Suna discussed the public security of the occupied areas for a while and the situation in Tomsk for a while. Just as Suna was about to deploy arms, the correspondents rushed to salute and report outside.

He sent an urgent telephone from the capital. The matchmaker took it and couldn't help but smile, handed the telegram to Suna, saying, "This is good news." Suna saw a line of small words on the telegram, her eyes lit up and said, "The emperor and the empress are in harmony, and she should be as ignited as this beast."

However, Han Jinchun's troops conquered Emelzik, and Yixin was captured on the way to escape. All the princes and ministers and the two concubines who were still following him were arrested.

What was not mentioned in the telegram was that when the city was broken, both Yixin's concubines tried to commit suicide, but the commando came very quickly, but they also saved their lives.
