In the past time, the northwest military government has negotiated here with representatives of the princes and nobles from all parties. The reason for the negotiation is that they do not want to conflict, so that these princes and nobles can give up their land decently and without any loss.
Why let it go? Isn’t it okay not to let it go?
Of course not, it's impossible to fight. People's tanks have arrived at your door, so you just have a few carbines in your hand? You can't even hit anyone if you hit it, and you're lucky if you can make a dent in the tank. If the gun is useless, let alone the cavalry, how about cutting with the saber?
The lesson learned by the horse bandits is obvious: cavalry has no chance of winning against tanks.
For these princes and nobles, what they fear most is not death, but enjoyment, or the power to plunder. During the negotiations, these people insisted on their own interests and refused to give up.
But will Zhang Yunhan get used to him? Won't.
Why do you think two armies are needed to win the Western Region? As long as these opposition elements are wiped out, not only will there be money, but also people's voice and hope. After losing the support of the people, they will be worthless.
Violent conflicts are often the easiest thing to wake people up. After some of the princes and nobles who were so awesome at Kras were brutally suppressed, they finally understood one thing: just because others are willing to talk, it doesn't mean that they can't accept it. Only those with tails are alive.
After understanding these principles, the princes and nobles no longer care about power. Although they cannot oppress the people, they can retain most of their wealth, which is already good. It is much better than losing their lives and money.
Although they only have wealth, they can invest in industry and government projects. Either invest or lose everything. Anyway, their life will not be easy.
Zhang Yunhan remained tolerant towards the princes and nobles. He did not put them to death, but guided them to invest a certain amount of primitive accumulation in new fields.
The reason why Zhang Yunhan was gentle was not because he was afraid of the side effects of military conquest in the Western Region, but because he did not want to cause more killings. Everything has risks and rewards, and the greater the risk, the greater the reward. It is obvious that the princes and nobles are seeking power in the Western Regions. The weight of risks in the Western Regions has already overwhelmed the leverage, leaving only risks.
Zhang Yunhan uses a soft knife to win people's hearts in order to minimize the backlash of the local people and ensure their approval. Although force is convenient and fast, this method will never be as effective as Huairou. Once the seeds of resentment are planted, it will always be a danger. .
The construction of the Western Region is very important in Zhang Yunhan's view, because once troops are deployed from the Western Region, the logistics of the Far East can be cut off to the north. However, Zhang Yunhan's construction and development in the Western Region finally attracted Lao Maozi's attention and vigilance.
Although Zhang Yunhan is not worried about defense, whether it is defense or offense, it will involve the huge military strength of the Northwest Army.
Kremlin
The bearded man looked at Beria, who was expressionless.
"Comrade Beria, order my Far East Military Region to take over the Western Region! We need the oil there."
"Yes! As you wish, Comrade Xidarin!"
Big Beard had received news last year that the Northwest Military Government was developing the Western Region, especially the news that oil had been produced. oil? what is that? It’s black gold! !
Far Eastern Military District
Chief of Staff General Oliga looked at Marshal Brücher seriously.
"This is an order from Moscow, and I hope you will implement it thoroughly."
Buliu Huer is a veteran general. Last year, he had heard one after another that the Chinese army in the south was heading west into the Western Regions, but the distance between the two sides was far away. Besides, this was other people's business and had nothing to do with him.
Now that it’s all right, Big Beard allows himself to attack other people’s territory?
"I will naturally carry out the orders of the Supreme Leader, but I hope that the higher-ups will consider the tasks in the Far East. The Japanese are attacking Northeast China, and we must retain most of the troops to prevent them from attacking."
It is not yet time for the great purge, and the chief of staff hesitates. After all, this matter is indeed serious. If the Far East is empty and the Japanese monkeys attack, who will bear the responsibility?
At this time, another general next to him said: "Marshal, you have to think carefully."
Brucher thought for a moment, raised his head and said: "This order cannot be refused, but we also have our own tasks, so I decided to send the 18th Infantry Corps to perform the task."
"Oliga has an arrest warrant issued by Beria and I cannot refuse."
“That’s it, hopefully our boys can get the job done.”
After Brucher walked out of the command room, he breathed in the cold air outside and muttered: "These damn conspirators."
…
In Jincheng, the phone number in Zhang Yunhan's office was quickly answered.
"I am Zhang Yunhan."
"Information No. 1?"
"I see."
After Zhang Yunhan hung up the phone, his face was solemn.
So another call was made.
"Director Liu, come to my office."
After a while, Liu Yong, wearing military uniform, walked into Zhang Yunhan's office.
"commander."
"Um."
"What's the specific situation?"
"I have just received some information. The Far East Military Region has sent the 18th Infantry Army in Siberia to attack our western region."
"Just one army?"
"Yes, according to our analysis, it should be the Japanese in the Far East who are involved. They dare not use too many troops."
"Well, monitor closely and report any information immediately."
Zhang Yunhan then asked people to immediately pass the news to the 2nd and 3rd Army in the Western Regions, and asked Deputy Chief of General Staff Pang Zhanfeng to go to the Western Regions to coordinate the overall situation.
"Chief of Staff Pang, the purpose of going this time is not to expand the war, but to maintain a stalemate and inflict casualties on the enemy."
Pang Zhanfeng was a little confused. Since they had been beaten, why not destroy them?
"Look, this is a sneak attack by Lao Maozi. We can eat it, but I don't want to expand the scale of the war in the Western Region. We have just started construction now, and we cannot let the war affect our construction and development goals."
"A large-scale war will inevitably involve our military's strength. So what about the Northeast? We have no way to expand. South and east are peanut territories, and now is not the time."
Pang Zhanfeng understood that he couldn't attack the big ones, he just had to attack with thunder, quickly annihilate the enemy troops, without giving them any room to react, and make it impossible for Lao Maozi to get off the stage.
"That's true, but the enemy also has 50,000 troops, so in order to give you an advantage, I sent the 10th Army, which is undergoing training in Jincheng, to support you in the battle."
"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely annihilate the enemy army quickly. With his outdated equipment, we will eat his entire army!"
"It's good to have confidence, but don't underestimate your enemies."
Zhang Yunhan knew very well that Lao Maozi at this time was not the Russian army after the Great Baptism. The current Russian army was an elite that had gone through civil war and foreign wars, and should not be underestimated.
