Chapter 118 The Germans Behind the Red Army
In August 1919, on the Belaya River, several officers who could be called the elite Kolchak division were annihilated by the Red Army troops commanded by Tukhachevsky. The left wing of the front was subjected to a large counterattack on the southern Red Army commanded by Fulongzhi, and could not open up the front link with Anton Ivanovic Denikin. From then on, the White Army was in a slump and retreated step by step.
Li Changgeng has roughly confirmed the smiles on the German generals these days that the Soviet Red Army did have Germans involved. During a chat with Hindenburg, "Li Changgeng suddenly said, "We Chinese have a discipline called phenology. The people often say that if the corn skin is worn with thick clothes, a cold winter will come. Judging from the thickness of the corn skin this year, there will be a big cold winter in Siberia. In my opinion, this cold winter is a critical period for the Red and White Russia to decide the outcome. Belarus defeated too quickly is not in line with the interests of our China, and Red and Russians won too quickly is not in line with the interests of the Germans."
After hearing this, Hindenburg was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Changgeng for a long time before saying, "How did Chairman Li find out?"
"The enemy is a friend. I think the Germans are willing to do anything that can cause trouble to the Allies. I don't think Trotsky could command the Soviet Red Army to launch such a beautiful counterattack strategy with his pitiful military knowledge. But Tukhachevsky, who actually commanded the battle, grew from a company commander captured by the German army to the commander of the First Red Russia Army in just two years. Even if he was a genius military commander, the transition from a company commander to a group commander of the army was impossible. The only explanation is that there are a large number of middle and senior German commanders in the Red Russia army, who are formulating war plans for the Red Army or personally commanding the battle. This way everything is understandable!"
"Chairman Li is indeed a wise man. Yes, the Red and Russian side has always been secretly helped by the German military to achieve such a brilliant victory. Germany needs an enemy of the European world, and Lenin has the ability to become an enemy of European countries. Only when a powerful communist Red Russia appears on the Eurasian continent can Britain and France attach importance to the necessity of the German Wehrmacht in the European continent, so the German military spares no effort to help Red and Russian defeat Belarus and establish a powerful communist Red and Russian empire."
Pa... Pa... Pa... Pa... Li Changgeng clapped and said, "This is the boldest, most outstanding and most feasible national strategic layout I have heard. I really didn't expect that the Germans could still formulate such a beautiful national strategy when the whole country surrendered."
"Chairman Li believes this strategy is feasible?"
"It can be seen from the current situation where the Allies are in a hurry - it is feasible!"
"Hahaha, this is the most sincere praise I have heard! The Red Russia hopes to make peace proposals to Chairman Li through me, return the territory occupied by China during the Tsarist Russian period, and abolish all unequal treaties between Qing and Russia."
"Our Northeastern coalition forces invaded China during the Tsarist Russia period have already taken back the territory of China. There is no such thing as abolishing. If the Red and Russia really have the intention of sincere negotiations, then we must respect the facts and use the Ob River and Ertzis Rivers as the dividing line between the two countries, and Tomsk belongs to China!"
"Chairman Li, this division is somewhat beyond the Russians' bottom line!"
"Marson Hindenburg, there is an old saying among the Chinese that raising tigers is a disaster. Once the Red Russian Empire has achieved a huge strategic depth, it will be too difficult to control it. Polar bears will grow into a great enemy of Germany. The premise of catching mice is that mice cannot be bigger than cats! As for the bottom line of the Russians, I think Mr. Lenin's bottom line is very deep. They generously ceded more than one million square kilometers of European land to Russia. These are not comparable to the cold Siberia and the Far East. With the relationship between China and Germany will only be closer in the future, we can control this polar bear in both east and west. I believe that the strategic vision of the Germans can see this!"
Hindenburg pondered for a while and nodded, "I will pass Chairman Li's words to Mr. Lenin. I think he will also make rational judgments based on the actual situation!"
In fact, during this brief conversation, Li Changgeng and Hindenburg made wrong judgments about each other. Li Changgeng overestimated the influence of the Germans on Red Russia, and Hindenburg also overestimated Li Changgeng's judgment. By chance, Li Changgeng's words were toughly transferred to the Red Russia side by the Germans, and even threatened to withdraw the officer group to the Red Russia.
The Russian civil war allowed the Red and Russian side to obtain very little information from the outside world. The Red and Russian side had no idea that China's Northeast coalition had already reached Omsk and Novosibirsk. When Lenin heard that the Chinese had already fought there, coupled with the threat from the Germans, the Red and Russian side was suddenly panicked. So they were very anxious to understand the situation in China, why did a big weak country suddenly compete with the powers for territory?
Fortunately, Comrade Lenin was connected to the Third Communist International some time ago and issued a statement to return Tsarist Russia's invasion of Chinese territory. He was wondering why he had not received a reply from the Chinese. It turned out that the people had already recovered their territory, and even the interest rate had increased several times. The Chinese were trying to get the border between the Ob River and Ertzis Rivers. This was equivalent to dividing half of Tsarist Russia's territory. Although Siberian and the Far East were not good places, they were places where exiled criminals went, they could not be cheaper for the Chinese.
So the Red and Russians bypassed Germany and contacted the Chinese branch of the Third International through various channels. In addition, the Red and Russians were surprised that the Chinese branch not only sold a lot of information from the Northeast coalition forces to the Red and Russians, but even stated that it was intended to criticize the invasion of the Northeast Autonomous Government at home.
The Red and Russian side received support from traitors, and immediately became tough and resolutely refused to negotiate with the Chinese. They also refused the German mediation! This made the Germans feel disappointed and affirmed Li Changgeng's judgment that the Red and Russians were not controlled by them.
When Li Changgeng received a message from the Germans, he just chuckled, "Since the war is inevitable, let it come more fiercely! I didn't think about negotiating with Red and Russian."
The big red airship flew over the blue ocean, and Li Changgeng and his group embarked on the return journey. Looking out the window, Li Changgeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly turned around and said to Wu Peifu, Cao Rulin and his entourage, "There are some pests that are time to clean up!"
