"Ah... we want to use the "Battle B-level plot fragments" branch plot line under the '0326 exclusive branch plot line' to promote the 'Mummy A-level plot fragments' branch plot line; use the 'plot to end the plot' plot Let me kill you to solve the major problems that arise in the Ziyuan branch plot." Patrizia Reda, a female reporter who is one of the six "only sub-ecologies", has already found the answer.
"Wow, Danielle is going to be cast as herself, right?"
"There is also a group of relatives and friends from the era who are with her."
"But from the Upper Normandy region in northern France to Ningxia Province in western China, this long journey is thousands of miles away."
"And how could Danielle reach China from northern France in the four years from 1943 to 1947?"
"You must know that the Eurasian continent during this period was the most intense battlefield of World War II."
The discussion among the crew of the "Mountain" inadvertently turned to the mission itself.
"Everyone, please tell us these details, Aiyi." Female reporter Patrizia Reda added with a smile.
"Okay, everyone." The holographic image of the housekeeper Ai then appeared in each carriage of the Mountain: "To help you understand the script, please take a look at some old photos first."
As he spoke, old black and white photos were retrieved from the plot database. The "Super Cloud Brain" uses digital technology to holographically model the panoramic view before the crew of the "Mountain". The light and shadow changed accordingly. One second, the cabin of the Mountain Cruiser, which was full of high-tech futurism, turned into a retro wooden cabin with a full sense of the times, which was solidified on the old black and white photos. This is immersive holographic digital imaging.
"Where is this?" Because it was too realistic, the crew members of the Mountain were immediately stunned.
"This is a carriage of the 'Orlik I' armored train." There is no more vivid display than "recreation of the original scene": "As you can see, this armored train was designed and built in 1915. Subsequent modifications during the journey were mainly related to weapons. It has a modern configuration, far more advanced than most later designs. Two machine guns in the corners and an open access hatch can be seen. A machine gun position in the middle of the armored train. Pay attention to the stove, a must-have device for all armored trains on the Trans-Siberian Railway."
As he spoke, the scene changed again: "This famous photo taken in Ufa shows the considerable firepower provided by at least six machine guns installed on each side of the carriage. On the left is the Maxim 1905/1910 7.62 mm machine gun, and on the right is the One machine gun was a Colt-Browning M1895 'Potato Digger', of which Tsarist Russia is documented as purchasing thousands of 7.62mm machine guns in 1914."
The housekeeper changed the holographic scene again: "This is another artillery carriage of the 'Orlik I'. Although it is based on the same basic vehicle as the previous carriage, it is installed in the original car's first gun position. A different weapon was used for the turret - the 1904 76.2mm mountain gun."
"So, Ai. We will take the 'Orlic I' armored train to China?" As the protagonist of this performance, War Girl Danielle has already thought of the general setting of the script.
"No, the 'Orlik I' was a product of World War I. What you are going to is World War II." Housekeeper Ai smiled and said: "About the 'Orlik I' and the Czech Legion's long journey home , only serves as the plot script for this adventure."
"Czechoslovak Legion (Czech: Československé legie, Slovak: Československé légie)", commonly known as "Czech Legion". During World War I, organizations called legions came into being as nationalists in many countries fought to liberate their homes from larger empires. This legion was actually a mercenary group composed of nationalists at the time. With the outbreak of war in Europe, the ethnic Czech and Slovak inhabitants of the Russian Empire saw an opportunity to turn Czechoslovakia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) into a free and independent nation-state. To prove their loyalty to the Allied cause, Czech and Slovak exiles formed a regiment and joined the Eastern Front in October 1914. When revolutionary Russia signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and withdrew from the war, the Legion had approximately 40,000 soldiers, many of whom had served in the Russian and Austro-Hungarian armies.
With the collapse of the Russian Empire and the end of the Tsarist regime, the Legion was stranded in Ukraine. But the men were still keen to liberate their homeland and planned to travel to France to continue the fight. However, such a valuable new force was extremely valuable to all the forces entrenched in Ukraine at that time. Even if it was impossible to recruit it for their own use, no one wanted it to fall into the hands of the other party. Therefore, the Czech Legion's evacuation plan encountered a lot of resistance at the beginning, especially Germany, which was facing pressure from the Allies at the time. They would never allow Russia to return such a highly effective army to the Western Front battlefield. In the end, the Russians agreed to the Czech regiments leaving, but they had the final say in how they left. First there was one condition - the Czech army must swear to remain neutral. Legionnaires cannot fire except in self-defense. Secondly, the Czech regiments could not leave Ukraine but had to sail from Vladivostok, 6,000 miles away, to France.
Although the conditions were very harsh, it was the only way for the Czech regiments to leave, and they finally accepted the reality.
Just like the background information above. What the housekeeper Ay was talking about was exactly the feat of the Czech Legion during World War I who crossed the Trans-Siberian Railway in an armored train and arrived at Vladivostok, 6,000 miles away, to return to France by ship. It was later adapted into "Last train home".
"Czechoslovakia was originally part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was born out of the 'geographical reorganization of Europe' at the end of World War I. It was an 'army and country born in Russia and France.' Starting in 1916, the Allies worked hard to meet the needs of the Czech Republic and The desire of the Slovak nation, trying to integrate it into its own camp.
The key to understanding the emergence of the Czechoslovak army before the birth of its independent state lies in the fact that the Czechs and Slovaks had long been submerged in a multi-ethnic empire that ignored the wishes of both peoples and that held power in In the hands of ethnic groups with larger populations. During the course of many negotiations, the Allies (which at that time included Tsarist Russia) began to consider the possibility of exploiting the hostility of the Czechs and Slovaks against the Austrians. As early as October 18, 1914, Czechs and Slovaks in Russian prison camps began to be separated from Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war. In February 1915, the Austrian 11th Regiment, mostly Slavs, refused to fight the Serbian army, and the 36th Regiment mutinied against its officers. With the support of Aristide Briand, the Czech National Council was established in Paris. Also in Paris, popular artist and illustrator Alphonse Mucha works tirelessly to promote Czech nationhood. On the front line, the nascent Czech Army (Česka Družina) achieved initial success and captured the first batch of prisoners of war. In 1915, there were 4,000 Czech prisoners of war in France, 50,000 in Russia, and 10,000 in Italy. If they were used against the Austro-Hungarian army, it would be a heavy blow to Germany and its allies. By 1916, the number of Czech prisoners of war in Russia had increased to 300,000, and a decree recognizing the Czech Army was issued. However, the Russian Revolution disrupted the situation, and an agreement between the Bolsheviks and the Czechs allowed the latter to move to the Western Front. However, the German army hindered this redeployment, and the Czechs began a long-distance eastward retreat via the Trans-Siberian Railway, with the 1st Regiment serving as the rearguard force from beginning to end. "
In March the Czech Legion returned to Russia, preparing to take the train to Siberia. But in Russia, everything will not be that simple. There were over 2 million prisoners of war in Russia at the time. These people account for more than 20% of Russia's workforce. The transfer of prisoners of war to their homeland was one of the conditions of the Peace of Brest-Litovsk. But the Russian revolutionaries needed every soldier they could get to fight the German army. The journey of the Czech Legion was also greatly affected by this. In May of that year, a Hungarian prisoner of war attacked a legionnaire in Chelyabinsk, and the prisoner was lynched by the legion. The Chelyabinsk government subsequently arrested Czech Legion guards. But in the eyes of the legionnaires, the guards were innocent. As a result, 3,000 angry legionnaires seized control of the town and seized 800 weapons from the local munitions office. Leon Trotsky, who had tried to recruit Czechs and Slovaks into the Red Army, was outraged. On May 21, he ordered the forcible disarmament of the Legion. After months of waiting, the Legionnaires decided to take matters into their own hands - heading to Vladivostok on their own terms, no matter who tried to stop them. As a result, the well-trained and battlefield-hardened legions became a counter-revolutionary force. One by one, their forces took control of stations and railroads in the area. They collected guns and ammunition along the way to arm their trains, and defeated the revolutionary army who attempted to control the railway lines. To ensure their journey was smooth, the Legion also joined forces with opposition forces such as the Komukh People's Army and Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak's White Army.
The Armistice of 1918 ended World War I, and the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 established an independent Czechoslovakia. As a result, in early 1919, the Czech Army's retreat to Vladivostok accelerated. Throughout the entire retreat, the Czech Legion seemed to have become another independent military force on Russian land. They are eager to return to their hometown, even if they do not hesitate to block the military operations of the White Army allies. As the Czech Army retreated, it gradually gave up control of the Siberian Railway. The Red Army followed closely behind the retreating exiles from a foreign land, taking advantage of this opportunity to repel the White Army.
Not only that, the Czechoslovaks also handed over White Army leader Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak to the Red Army, and later handed over several carts of Tsarist gold bars that they had looted from Kazan. In exchange, the Red Army signed a truce that officially allowed the Czechoslovaks to withdraw from the war.
