Expedition to Europe

In the deduction of the Lanfang Staff Department, the war is most likely to break out between Lanfang and the United Kingdom.

Once the war starts again, Lan Fong will use overwhelming force to drive the British away from Hong Kong and British Malaya. In this way, the British power will disappear in the entire Southeast Asia, and Lan Fong will dominate everything in Southeast Asia. , at least you can have a stable rear area, which will make you invincible.

Of course, the Philippines controlled by Americans is also a hidden danger, but perhaps because the consumption level in the Philippines does not meet the expectations of American capitalists, Americans do not attach much importance to the Philippines. Although MacArthur strongly advocated that the Philippines should become the most powerful country in the East for the United States, A strong fortress, but MacArthur had no allies in the U.S. Congress, so no one responded to MacArthur's suggestion. The Philippines is still the same as it was ten years ago, except that their army looks a little more regular.

Even if the Americans join the war, Lanfang is sure to drive the Americans out of the Philippines in the shortest possible time. In this way, the American islands in the Pacific simply cannot become an advanced base for the Americans. The forces on those islands simply cannot defend themselves.

Lanfang's fleet and air force are not vegetarian. Although Lanfang's battleships are not as many as those of the United States, the "Sishui-class" aircraft carriers and thunder and lightning will allow the Americans to understand the direction of future wars.

Perhaps even if the Americans come to their senses by then, it will be of no use after all.

Compared with Japan in the past, Lanfang's industrial strength is far from the same. In the past, when the Japanese went to war with the Americans, they had to import steel from the United States and rubber, oil and other strategic materials from the British and American colonies in Southeast Asia. Now Lanfang does not have this problem. On the contrary, the Americans need to import from Lanfang. Natural rubber, palm oil and other industrial raw materials, so the Japanese's disadvantage is now Lanfang's advantage. Even if Lanfang cannot defeat the United States, the United States cannot easily defeat Lanfang.

Perhaps when Lan Fang's second five-year plan or third five-year plan is completed, it will not be a question of whether the United States can defeat Lan Fang, but a question of how long the United States can resist Lan Fang's attack.

For now, all countries in the world are still in the process of recovering their economies. Among the victors of the world war, Lanfang is in the best situation, the United States and the United Kingdom are not in a bad situation, France is in the most embarrassing situation, and The once red Russia has now disappeared——

No, Red Russia has not disappeared. Although Kolchak’s coalition government has now occupied St. Petersburg, Red Russia has not been completely extinguished. They went all the way south from St. Petersburg and entered Denikin’s White Russia and the areas just after the World War. Poland, which gained independent status, began to revive again.

When the Lanfang Northern Territory and Kolchak's coalition government jointly launched a war against Red Russia last time, Denikin did not take advantage of the situation, but wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight, and wanted to appear at the most appropriate time. Take the biggest cake at the party.

Denikin's choice was not unreasonable. Russia's "General Winter" once helped the Russians defeat countless invaders. The high morale of the Red Russians gave Denikin reason to believe that the war could be postponed until winter. At that time, "General Winter" will join the war, and the coalition forces of Lanfang Northern Territory and Kolchak will eventually return in defeat, and then it will be Denikin's time to take the stage.

But what surprised Denikin and his masters, the British, was that the coalition forces in Lanfang Northern Territory and the coalition government did not make mistakes like Napoleon. The war ended before winter arrived, and Denikin's troops Before the assembly was completed, the coalition troops had already invaded St. Petersburg, and the war ended.

The whole process developed at a jaw-dropping speed. Before Denikin and the British were ready to pick the fruit, they had already become the ones who arrived late. The British and Denikin got nothing -

No, they got it, but it was different from what the British and Denikin imagined. What Denikin got was the "tinder of the revolution."

It must be said that the Russians used to be very tolerant to "revolutionaries". When the great mentor was exiled to Siberia, the mentor could still bring his servants and his confidante. Even in the middle of a snowy winter, the great mentor could still Staying in the warm wooden house thinking about how to overthrow his czarist father.

But when these "revolutionaries" came to power, the czar's father, who had been extremely tolerant of them, was in trouble.

This also allowed Kolchak to completely see the true face of the revolutionaries. Therefore, after capturing St. Petersburg, the troops in Lanfang Northern Territory performed better. They set their targets on all movable objects, which were all north The spoils of war in the territory were part of the agreement with Kolchak; Kolchak's troops were particularly brutal. It was as if they were staying on the enemy's land, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil.

Almost all the women were rounded up and sent to the military camps, and their fate was extremely miserable. The reason was that these women were supporters of Red Russia. The men were imprisoned together and had to do heavy physical labor. Someone once suggested that collective labor should be carried out. They were shot, but this suggestion was shelved in view of the reconstruction of St. Petersburg.

Note that it is shelved, not rejected.

Even so, during the period when St. Petersburg was first occupied, nearly a thousand people died every day, and the highest number reached more than 8,000 people on one day. This is only the official statistics.

Seeing that Kolchak's troops had turned into wild beasts, those Red Russian supporters who had lost everything had to seek refuge in Denikin's White Russia.

How did that saying go?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although Kolchak and Denikin were both Russians, they were definitely not friends, so Denikin and the British chose to accept these potentially dangerous Red Russian supporters.

In fact, when accepting these people, some knowledgeable British people had been calling on newspapers to be careful of these guys who had lost everything. They had nothing to lose and should be careful of their infectious ability.

It's a pity that such voices had no effect on Britain.

For the British, whether it was White Russia or Red Russia, it was Russia. Even if they all died, what did it have to do with the British?

Facts have proved that the truth is often in the hands of a few people. Both the British and Denikin underestimated the power of "revolution".

Think about it, with just the name of "revolution", you can get everything from the rich that does not belong to the "revolutionaries". These things may be the accumulation of many generations of the rich. Now, with just a name, the wealth will change its owner. How tempting is this?

So since the supporters of Red Russia entered White Russia, White Russia has been in danger. When they did not find enough allies, the supporters of Red Russia could still show forbearance and obedience. Once they have enough allies, they will soon burst out with the power to change the world.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @book/bar!

Since October last year, strikes and riots have frequently broken out in White Russia. At that time, the scale was not too large and the organization was not strict enough, so the situation was still under Denikin's control. But in March 1923, a large-scale strike broke out in Minsk, the capital of White Russia. Workers throughout Minsk took to the streets to demand increased wages, reduced working hours, and punishment of factory owners who abused workers.

Increasing wages and reducing working hours can still be discussed, but factory owners who abuse workers are a big problem.

Denikin's rule over White Russia was based on those factory owners and nobles. If these people are punished now, it is equivalent to letting Denikin subvert the foundation of his rule, which Denikin cannot accept in any way.

Since the contradiction cannot be reconciled, the peaceful strike will immediately turn into a violent suppression and resistance.

At this time, something unexpected happened again to Denikin. The troops sent to disperse the parade refused to shoot, and some troops even joined the parade. These troops also put forward their own demands. They demanded to drive out the British in the army and establish an army completely ruled by Russians, and at the same time punish those old-school officers who were domineering in the army.

The situation finally got out of control. After Denikin rejected their demands again, the workers and soldiers rushed into the armory, distributed the Enfield rifles supported by the British to Denikin, and then launched an armed uprising.

At this point, even if Denikin wanted to regret, it was too late. Finally, Denikin's troops could not resist hundreds of thousands of angry workers and soldiers. Denikin's official residence was occupied and Denikin himself died in the chaos.

On the same day of Denikin's death, White Russia announced the establishment of a coalition government composed of soldiers' committees and workers' associations. This time they were smarter and did not play the "Bolshevik" card, and chose to continue to cooperate with Britain to fight against the evil Kolchak.

In fact, White Russia should also fight against the Lanfang people, but the combat effectiveness of the army of Lanfang North Region in the Red Russia's war of annihilation has frightened the leaders of White Russia, so in the statement of White Russia, they did not mention the Lanfang people.

It must be emphasized that with the issuance of the White Russian statement, the leader of White Russia finally surfaced. This is a person Qin Zhiyuan is familiar with: Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin.
