The sun never sets

Wuyun Qiqige is not as reserved as Guan Xiaotong, but full of wildness and aggression, even during intercourse. She pushed Lin Yongchang down rudely, saying that she wanted to be on top. Wuyun Qiqige not only likes riding horses, but is also good at it.

But her stamina was not enough to play the whole game. In the first half, she was the rider, but in the second half, she became the one being ridden. Even though she was pressed under him, Wuyun Qiqige's moans were still loud, and mixed with various short sentences.

Queen Olga was arranged to be the last one. She wanted to take off her gorgeous dress. This dress was made of a lot of gold threads and was very expensive. It was not so comfortable to wear. Except for grand occasions, she was unwilling to wear this dress weighing dozens of kilograms.

However, since Wuyun Qiqige said she would pay, it didn't matter if the gorgeous dress was damaged. Wearing this dress really made her feel special. After more than half an hour of watching, the valley was already muddy. Olga raised her chin and said in an arrogant tone: "Humph, I'm not as useless as the two of them. I won't be easily defeated by you!"

Soon, Her Majesty was attacked.

The arrogance on her face was shattered by the heat, and sighs and exclamations kept coming out. Olga had already prepared for the strong wind, but being pushed to the edge of the balcony was something she had not expected.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon. The streets outside were busy with people. She could clearly see the army not far away marching westward, and she could also see thick smoke rising from the train station in the distance.

The wide skirt was lifted up, and Lin Yongchang did not destroy the clothes on Queen Ovega. Instead, he disarmed Her Majesty and became the man behind the Queen.

"Ah, it's Her Majesty Olga!"

"And the Prime Minister!"

Several ladies carrying baskets walked under the palace and saw the Queen and the Prime Minister hugging each other. The upper bodies of both of them were well-dressed, but the lower bodies were naked and tightly pressed together.

In a place where the women could not see, their dresses and bodies were swaying in waves. Olga waved to the women below while making a sound. This tense and exciting joy made her forget her troubles for a while.

After a long time, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and the restless world finally calmed down.

Olga lay on the balcony, took a breath, and asked, "Mother and the others will be fine, right?"

Lin Yongchang's voice came from behind, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

This was not his nonsense. The Provisional Government was inherently weak and did not dare to take action against Nicholas II. As for Comrade Vladimir Ilyich's Soviet regime, Chairman Lin was not prepared to give them any chance.

The Soviet Union was great, so he wanted to inherit the Soviet Union's legacy, bury it in the ground, and step on the grave a few more times. "Governing with virtue is like the North Star, which stays in its place and is surrounded by other stars." The first half of this sentence is debatable, and the second half is also debatable, but "one center" is correct.

Well, at least in the eyes of Lin Yongchang, who is deeply influenced by Chinese tradition, "one center" is correct. He does not agree with the EU's political alliance that issues orders from multiple departments. If he wants to lead mankind into a new era, he still has to adhere to "one center, two basic points."

The time that was changed was always short. After the second lieutenant's indulgence, Lin Yongchang immersed himself in the work that would never be finished. He didn't go to wash and rest until the moon was at its zenith. He woke up from his sleep before dawn in the morning. He only needed four hours of sleep a day to stay energetic all day. If necessary, he could go without sleep for several days in a row.

However, there has been no such emergency yet. As China gradually returns to its rightful position, the probability of an emergency situation where we don’t sleep for several days is getting smaller and smaller.

Brusilov didn't sleep well that night. He was willing to do anything for his future, but he was still a little scared of attacking Song Zhengjiao. His reputation was bad enough, but not to the point where everyone wanted to kill him. But if he attacked the Orthodox Church, it was certain that many people would want to shoot him in the back.

No, I can't do that.

Brusilov was a very smart man, otherwise he would not have been able to launch the world-famous "Brusilov Offensive". So he rushed over early in the morning to ask for an audience with Olga I. Unfortunately, the Empress had also plowed the land last night and could not get up in the morning. According to past experience, she would not get up and wash until at least noon.

The Prime Minister got up before dawn to work. The corruption in Russia is comparable to the period when the Aisin-Gioro family ruled. If possible, Lin Yongchang really wanted to kill all the grassroots officials of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

But it was not possible. It was easy to kill people, but it was difficult to establish a new system. The Russian Empire at that time was not the red-haired empire of later generations, and there were not so many intellectuals. Lin Yongchang had to use a large number of cadres promoted from farmers and workers, but those people had poor abilities and could not do many basic things well.

The number of cadres brought from Siberia was not enough, so they could only control the towns along the railway and could not penetrate into the rural areas. Peasants were the largest class in the Russian Empire, and with the support of peasants, they could gain a firm foothold in Russia.

It is conceivable that if the Orthodox Church is attacked, there will be a lot of unrest and even rebellion in the countryside. This will require more cadres. Or, why not simply transfer more political cadres from China?

Lin Yongchang thought for a few seconds and decided to put it aside for now. The cadre issue was the most important of all issues. Once this issue was resolved, everything else would be easy to handle. Recruiting Chinese comrades could solve the cadre issue, but he could not allow the action of recovering the entire Russian territory to be tainted with too much Chinese color, which would be detrimental to stabilizing the situation in Russia.

Chapter 623: Attitude

Nationalism flourished after the French Revolution. China did not have such a thing. In the Eastern world, the emphasis was on the "Hua-Yi" debate, and later there was "Hua-Xian entered Di Yi, then Di Yi, and Di Yi entered Hua-Xian, then Hua-Xian".

But nationalism is so useful, just like religion, it easily distinguishes "us" from "them". So nationalism spread in China and played a big role in overthrowing the Aisin-Gioro family. To the Han people, the wild boar skin is definitely not one of them.

Blaming all the sufferings and the backwardness of the country on the wild boar skin is a very simple and crude statement that can stand up to logic.

Most people can think to this point, but going further and exploring deeper is not something most people can do.

Lin Yongchang had seen the national liberation movement in China, so he was always very careful when dealing with other countries' affairs, not wanting to arouse the national resistance consciousness of Japan or Russia. After sending troops to Russia, he was always very careful to let comrades of Russian origin handle Russia's administrative affairs as much as possible.

However, the situation was not as serious as he had thought. Russian nationalism was not that serious, and they were not so resistant to outsiders. Most people in Russia were illiterate or semi-literate, and some did not even have the concept of a country, let alone a national consciousness.

However, for those intellectuals and elites, national identity is a very realistic matter. It is not only about emotions and a sense of belonging, but also about specific interests.

Russia is a multi-ethnic country. The Russian Empire swallowed up too much land and did not have time to digest it. Now this problem is on Prime Minister Lin. If you want to solve this problem, you can only release a higher level of "sacred value", and this is exactly what Lin Yongchang wants to do.

Brusilov wandered around the temporary palace for a long time before finally making a decision. Since there was no other way, he had no choice but to cling to the Prime Minister's thigh.

"General Brusilov wants to see you."

"Bring him in."

Soon, Brusilov, who was thin and energetic, walked in. Lin Yongchang didn't even look up, but pointed to the side and said, "Sit down first, and wait for me to finish reviewing these documents."

With the Trans-Siberian Railway for transportation, the People's Army will not lack supplies for the time being. As long as there is no shortage of supplies, the combat effectiveness of the People's Army can be guaranteed. Rokossovsky encountered Soviet troops near Kazan, and the two sides fought several battles. Rokossovsky had the upper hand. However, he had too few troops, and even if he won, he did not dare to pursue deeply. He could only dig trenches while asking for reinforcements from the rear.

Although Rokossovsky did not have a high opinion of the Soviet army and believed that the real enemy was the Provisional Government, Lin Yongchang knew how strong the fighting power of the Bolsheviks was.

At this point in time, few people thought that the Bolsheviks could succeed. In another time and space, even after the victory of the October Revolution, Comrade Vladimir Ilyich said with concern: "Can our regime last for three years? If we can do this, we will have surpassed the Paris Commune."

Even heroes like the mentor only thought of holding out for three years, and holding out longer than the Paris Commune would be considered a victory. But the Bolsheviks, who were so shaky, became a world power decades later and once had the momentum to liberate the world.

A tree that can be hugged by two people grows from a tiny seed. A nine-story tower is built from a pile of earth. New things are always weak at the beginning, but as long as they are right and good, they may take advantage of the situation and soar into the sky.

In order to crush the Soviet regime, Lin Yongchang was ready to start with a big move. He was now signing the Ministry of Railways' plan to transport tanks and assault guns. According to the plan, the railway line would give priority to transporting the weapons, equipment and personnel of the First Armored Division.

When the 1st Armored Division reaches the Kazan front, it will launch an attack with several other infantry and cavalry divisions, smash the enemy's blockade in front of it, and then fight all the way to Moscow. After that, it will be necessary to fight and negotiate at the same time, and adjust the plan according to the situation.

After a while, Lin Yongchang signed all the documents and called his secretary to take them away. After flexing his wrist, Lin Yongchang asked Brusilov, who was sitting upright, "Have you thought about it?"

"Yes!"

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Now that Brusilov had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, "I will do whatever the Prime Minister tells me to do!"

"........."

No wonder Nicholas II promoted this guy directly to be the head of the front army. He is so conscious. Lin Yongchang smiled and said, "I will send someone to assist you. If you don't understand anything, just ask Xu Shuzheng and Yang Yuting."

Little Xu is talented, but not calm enough. However, he has improved a lot in recent years. Xu Shuzheng cannot take the lead for the time being, but he can help Brusilov. The same goes for Yang Yuting. It is too early to let them take charge on their own. Besides, they are all Chinese, and it is not good to do things that offend people. Let Brusilov take the lead.

"Your main task is to distribute the church's land to the farmers. This is the goal, and the rest are means. The church can retain a small amount of land, but it only has the right to use the land and must pay taxes. As long as you can do this, I don't care even if all the priests are shot."

Lin Yongchang stared at the other person and said, "But if you don't do it well, you will be the one to be shot."

Brusilov's heart tightened, but he nodded, "Yes, I will do it well."

"Well, someone will be there to hand over to you. Anything else?"

"I........."

"Just say what you want to say, General. Let's be direct and stop hemming and hawing like women!"

Brusilov then made up his mind, "I think the Prime Minister should not exile Russians to China to do hard labor!" This is something that many Russians complained about privately, and Brusilov had heard about it. He did not care about the exiled Russians, but had other purposes.

Lin Yongchang pondered for a moment.

"Is this what you think?"

"It's not just my opinion, it's the opinion of many Russians."

"Well, I'll consider it." Lin Yongchang's attitude softened a little, unlike before, when he had a smile on his face but looked cold and distant. "General, do you have anything else to say?"

Brusilov noticed the change in the Prime Minister's attitude and was secretly happy. He knew that his bet was right. He said different things to different people. Brusilov had studied the Queen and the Prime Minister and knew what they liked to hear. But those were all his own ideas, and it was hard to say whether they would work.

Now it seems that he guessed right.

"Can we temporarily stop nationalizing the land? I have some acquaintances in St. Petersburg who are willing to support Her Majesty Olga, but..."

Chapter 624: Unable to bear

"No buts!"

Lin Yongchang interrupted Brusilov and said, "Equal distribution of land, eight (ten) hour work day, worker-peasant alliance, this cannot be changed!"

Lubusilov felt that he couldn't breathe smoothly and was horrified. He said with a stiff upper lip: "But... but many people will object to this..."

"Then kill everyone who opposes!"

Lin Yongchang said calmly: "How many people are against it? 10? 100 million? Or 1000 million? As long as all those who oppose it are sent to see God, there will be no one who opposes it. General Brusilov, do you understand what I mean?"

"........Understood."

"Well, I understand."

Brusilov was obviously frightened. Lin Yongchang looked at his back as he left and shook his head. Alexei Brusilov was called a despicable villain by many Russian generals, but now it seems that he has no bottom line at all.

Perhaps, he wanted to wait until he left before proposing those good ideas to Queen Olga?

Lin Yongchang shook his head again. Russia today is just like France during the Great Revolution. After the French killed Emperor Louis XIV and his queen, how many more people did they kill? Because there were so many people killed, the executioners were too busy to handle it. The romantic French invented the guillotine, a mechanical device that could be used to chop off heads quickly and efficiently.

If Russia wants to enter modern society, it must sacrifice enough blood.

By late July, the 1st Armored Division of the People's Army had arrived at the front line, and other troops had also been deployed to the front line. They were ready to launch a magnificent attack to capture Cheboksary on the right bank of the middle reaches of the Volga River.

There were more than 200,000 troops of the Provisional Government in Cheboksary, or even more. This place was originally under the control of the Soviet regime, but when the People's Army was ready for battle, it became the territory of the Provisional Government. This made Lin Yongchang feel a little uncomfortable, as if he had thrown a punch with all his strength, but hit the air.

He had been prepared for a big battle with the Soviet-led Russian army, but he didn't expect that the opponent suddenly changed. The combat effectiveness of the Provisional Government was obviously not as strong as that of the Soviet troops, but Comrade Vladimir Ilyich had already fled to Finland with Joseph Vissarionovich and others.

Because St. Petersburg was in chaos, Lin Yongchang did not receive accurate news until the attack was about to begin.

"This is really hell!"

"Comrade Vladimir fled to Finland?"

The cause, process and result of the incident were simple. The Bolsheviks wanted to seize power and end the coexistence of two revolutionary governments, so they launched a new armed struggle. As a result, the Bolsheviks achieved their original goal, the coexistence of two regimes in St. Petersburg ended, and the Provisional Government won.

Because of the support of Britain, France and other countries, the military and political power of the Provisional Government was stronger than that of the Soviet led by the Bolsheviks. After the real fight, the Provisional Government had no scruples and directly drove the Bolsheviks away.

Lin Yongchang didn't want to believe this, but the facts were in front of him and he had to believe it. No wonder Comrade Vladimir Ilyich was so unconfident after the victory of the October Revolution. The Bolsheviks didn't have a good mass base! Now, except for Lin Yongchang, everyone thought that the Bolsheviks were finished, just like eight or nine years ago.

But Lin Yongchang still didn't dare to underestimate Comrade Vladimir. He was a revolutionary fighter who fought again and again despite repeated failures and was determined to succeed. If he was given a chance, he might be able to make a comeback.

As the saying goes, if God doesn't give you a gift, you will suffer the consequences. Since the Bolsheviks are already finished, let's not waste time and energy, so let's attack Moscow in one go!

Lin Yongchang picked up the phone and issued combat orders to the frontline commanders, "Attack!"

Hundreds of cannons fired at the same time, blasting balls of flames on the positions of the provisional government forces. Amid the explosions, dirt rushed up more than ten meters into the air. The 305mm howitzers that had finally been pulled to the front line were spewing shells. Because of the inconvenience of transportation, this heavy howitzer would rarely appear in subsequent operations.

Only when we need to attack fortresses and cities will they be put to good use again. In this case, we should use up all the shells that have been transported.

The troops stationed in Cheboksary were theoretically under the control of the provisional government, but in reality they managed themselves.

The Provisional Government's troops were mainly in St. Petersburg, and the number of troops in Moscow was very small. Moreover, the troops in St. Petersburg were on guard against the Russian troops on the front line. The troops on the Eastern Front had declared their loyalty to Olga I. The Provisional Government was always worried that the Russian troops on the front line would return to St. Petersburg.

This resulted in the defenders of Cheboksary having neither reinforcements nor much weapons and equipment. When facing the attack of the People's Army, they could only endure the beating. Being beaten unilaterally was very demoralizing. After being bombarded round after round, the defenders could not stand this constant beating and launched a very brave, or reckless, charge.

If it was the German army or the Anglo-French Allied Forces on the Western Front, with incomplete weapons and equipment and insufficient ammunition, they would definitely prefer to be beaten unilaterally rather than take the initiative to launch an attack.

But the generals stationed in Cheboksary had no experience in World War II and did not have enough trained officers to allow the army to endure endless shelling. After several units took the initiative to attack, the generals simply gave up and ordered the front line to attack.

The reckless attack caused heavy casualties among the defenders. Under the flanking fire of heavy machine guns and the bombardment of artillery, the troops of the provisional government were littered with corpses.

"Do they want to rush up and fight?"

"It seems so. This is not a war, just a massacre."

The enemy's attack did not achieve any effect except consuming the People's Army's ammunition. The Russians' bravery was unquestionable, but their weapons and equipment were too poor. The battlefield on the Western Front had already proved that a concentrated charge could not penetrate the machine gun positions. Only a large number of heavy artillery and tanks could do this.

After blocking the enemy's charge, the front-line commander Liu Chengxiang ordered the First Armored Division to go out. Although the enemy was weak, since the First Armored Division had been transported here, he might as well send it out and give it a try.

The First Armored Division consumed too many resources. Not to mention the expensive tanks and assault guns, there were 500 trucks alone. When the First Armored Division was in combat, it burned to liters of gasoline and diesel every day. This was not an armored division, but a money-eating beast.

But isn't the army a money-eating beast? After the mobilization began, military expenditures soared, from 400 million yuan per day to 600 million yuan per day, and then from 600 million yuan/day to 800 million yuan/day. This is when there are no large casualties. Once the battle becomes fierce and there are large casualties, the military expenditure is estimated to double again. Such a large amount of military expenditure is not only spent by the First Armored Division.

The long expedition required too much national strength. Even though China now has the industrial capacity to produce 1800 million tons of steel annually, it still feels a bit overwhelmed.

Chapter 625: Bravery

The Chinese General Staff planned to mobilize 200 million people first, and so far 3/4 of the plan has been completed. The mobilized troops will first undergo three months of preliminary training in the country, and then be sent to Russia to maintain the railway lines or garrison certain important nodes, such as towns, factory areas and other places.

Those sent to the Cheboksary front were regular troops supplemented with special forces, logistics troops and artillery, such as the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 10th divisions, all of which were elite troops with outstanding merits in the Republic. Most of the people in these troops had undergone more than two years of training, and even those who were temporarily added had undergone more than six months of training. Therefore, their technical and tactical levels and organizational levels were very high, more than one level higher than the enemy on the opposite side.

The troops loyal to the Provisional Government were beaten to a pulp on the People's Army's defense line, but almost no one achieved any results. When the First Armored Division of the Guards appeared on the battlefield, the Russians immediately fell into chaos.

The 3000st Armored Division has a total of 6200 people, including a tank brigade, a motorized infantry brigade, an artillery brigade and a mechanized infantry regiment, as well as an engineering battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a cavalry battalion, a communications battalion, and a group of civilians and staff. In terms of specific personnel organization, more than 2200 people are assigned to the tank brigade, more than people are assigned to the motorized infantry brigade and the mechanized infantry regiment, people are assigned to the artillery brigade, and the rest are scattered among the various direct battalions, and there are other auxiliary units such as transportation.

The tank brigade has two tank regiments, each regiment has two tank battalions, each battalion has four tank companies, including three light tank companies equipped with Type 2 tanks (actually assault guns); one medium tank company equipped with Type 2 tanks (different from the German Type 4 tanks). Each company has 3 tanks, so the 1st Armored Division has a total of 21 tanks (tanks and assault guns).

This powerful armored force was prepared to fight the German army. Since Olga I was unwilling to cede territory and pay compensation, she would inevitably encounter the German army. Presumably, the Germans would not withdraw their troops without fighting the People's Army.

Now the 1st Armored Division has not yet encountered the Germans, but instead is targeting the Russians.
