Chapter 626 Finland
The world is colorful.
Just looking at the terrain, you can also sigh at the magical skills of God's creation. The Middle East and North Africa are extremely hot all year round, while Europe is very warm all year round. The Mediterranean climate nourishes Europeans. At the same time, in terms of industrial level, Europe is also the most developed.
And further north, the Soviet Union was in the cold.
At the same time, there are also countries that are colder than the Soviet Union, such as Finland.
Most of the country's land area is within the Arctic Circle. The winter is long and cold and the summer is quite short. At the same time, the country also has a highly developed industrial foundation and is a permanent neutral country.
However, Finland was independent in 1997. In the past, it was a vassal state of Russia.
Therefore, for the Soviets, Finland has always been a piece of meat in their eyes.
Moreover, Finland is too close to Leningrad, the main Soviet city, and has always been regarded as an important threat to the Soviet second largest city.
Therefore, in recent years, the Soviets have been trying to "communicate" with Finland and have put forward the requirement to cedify and adjust some of Finland's territory.
The basic content is to require Finland to move the border between EFEN in the Isthmus of Karelia to 40 kilometers northward, to ced several islands in the Gulf of Finland and Finnish territory on the Rebach Peninsula to the Soviet Union; to lease the Hanko Peninsula to the Soviet Union at the cost of millions of Finnish marks per year for 30 years.
In order to compensate Finland for the territorial losses, the Soviet Union expressed its willingness to hand over the land in the northwest of Lake Onega to Finland in the area ceded by Finland.
It seems to be an equal agreement, but just by looking at the topographic map, you will know how "good" the intentions of the Soviets were.
The terrain of the Hanko Peninsula determines that it is a natural barrier to defend against the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union requires it to be leased to the Soviet Union! In this way, the Soviet army would advance straight into the hinterland of Finland at any time.
After all, friendly negotiations between the two sides have only started in recent years. In the past few years, the two sides were still hostile and often had some friction and conflicts on the border. When Finland was just established, almost the White Army occupied the main body. They hated the Soviet Union and often took the initiative to cross the border.
Therefore, in the face of these Soviet demands, Finland has been delaying.
Now, the war breaking out on the European continent has attracted the attention of people around the world. No one noticed that a major event suddenly occurred on the inconspicuous border between the Soviet Union and Finland.
The border of the Soviet Union, within the Soviet Union, Manila Village.
Because this village is close to the border, the villagers in the village moved away more than ten years ago. After all, the occasional crossing of the Finnish army often brings them sad memories.
After the villagers moved away, the village became the base of the Soviet army, a border infantry company living here.
Now, in the rare short summer, even so, because the latitude is too high, the sun has always shined obliquely on the ground.
The temperature is not very high. At this latitude, the highest temperature in history cannot exceed it, just the standard for heating rooms in winter.
Finns who live in this area all year round are not afraid of the cold. Even in the snowy winter, Finns can come out of their rooms naked at any time and dig an ice hole for winter swimming. In summer, even if the temperature outside is only low, they like to eat ice cream shirtlessly.
However, the Soviets here are not good.
The Soviets were freezing, and it depends on who they were compared to. Compared with Europeans, they were really freezing, but compared with Finns, they were far inferior.
Moreover, the Soviet Union was vast, and the Soviets in some parts of Central Asia were also afraid of the cold.
Victor, a border guard soldier, was wearing a cotton uniform, carrying a rifle, humming an unknown country tune, and walking outside.
In fact, the soldiers stationed on the border are quite boring. The surroundings are desolate and there are no big cities. Even buying bottles of vodka only takes place in a town more than ten kilometers away.
The soldiers' usual entertainment activities are at most to go out, play wild game, and improve their lives.
Next to the village is a forest area. In the rarely visited places, nature has the advantage. Most of these tall pine trees cannot be hugged by two people.
He stepped on the dead leaves and made a creaking sound. His eyes were sharp and he kept checking around, hoping to find some prey. A few days ago, he killed a wild boar and gave them a meal for several meals.
This time, it would be great if I could meet another wild boar!
Victor looked careless, but his ears were actually erect. In the forest, many times, his ears were more useful than his eyes.
Suddenly, his feet tightened, and suddenly, he screamed in his heart!
A rope quickly strangled one of his legs, and then the rope continued to shrink, and only the sound of squeaking sounds were heard, and his world turned upside down.
He was already hanging upside down on the tree!
Damn, who designed the hunter trap?
Victor cursed in his heart, his body rippled with the rope, and at the same time, he tried hard to turn over, but it was impossible.
You cannot cut the rope yourself. Even if you cut it, you will fall to death when you fall.
So he raised his gun helplessly and opened fire into the sky.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Mosinnagan's rifle had five bullets. He almost fired all five bullets in just a few seconds. He hoped that this voice could remind his companions to come and save him.
At this time, his shouting is useless. The trees in the woods will block his shouting, and they will not be heard dozens of meters away.
The gunshots are different.
The gunshots came in the woods, and the birds nearby were scattered in fear.
Next, just wait.
Manila Village.
"Squad leader, there is gunfire in the woods." A soldier hurriedly shouted to his squad leader Berenko.
In the border guards, gunfire is a signal. In theory, they should go out to check it out immediately.
"Don't be afraid, that's our sharpshooter. Victor is going to play game for us. Let's wait. It seems that Victor has gained something again today." Belenko said.
Hope it is a wild boar that can be eaten for several days.
Now, the Soviets' economic strength is still limited. Even if the border troops like them are just enough to eat black bread, Ukraine is the Soviets' granary, but meat, etc. are seriously insufficient.
Therefore, the troops went out to hunt and improve their food have been acquiesced by the superiors.
Billian Ke didn't think much about it, and he didn't know that his subordinates were hanging on a tree at this time, and the gunshot was a distress signal.
