Chapter 284 World War I

Hu Chuyuan knew very early that the First World War was bound to break out, but he really didn't expect that it would eventually take place in the Balkans in 1914.

This place always seems to be a gunpowder barrel.

Of course, it did not break out in 1910, but in 1914, which is a good thing for China, because the later it happens, the more beneficial it is to China.

He does not deny that after the end of the Far East War, Russia's internal contradictions began to be covered by external contradictions, and with the support of Germany, the Russian economy also recovered rapidly from 1903.

He does not deny that the German economy has been developing rapidly with the support of strong technology and scientific research capabilities.

However, no one can deny that the speed of China's economic development is faster.

The rapid development of China's economy may be a miracle of this era. From 1907, China's gross national product officially surpassed the United States in statistics and ranked first in the world. By 1913, China's gross industrial product in the world had climbed to 23.7%, and the United States accounted for 21. 3%, Germany accounts for 13.2%, Britain accounts for 11.7%, France accounts for 5.1%, Russia accounts for 2.4%, Italy accounts for 2.1%, and Austria-Hungary accounts for 1.7%.

This is the top eight industrial powers in the world.

In terms of total agricultural output, China accounts for 21.4%, and the United States, which ranks second, is only 13%.

If calculated in terms of China and its colonies, the total proportion of total agricultural output value in the world is 37%, and the total proportion of total industrial output value in the world is about 30%.

This is an asymmetrical war, although in the eyes of the Allies, they still have a good reason to defeat everything.

For example, the noble blood of the Germans and Slavs.

It's a pity that when Hu Chuyuan decided to declare war, he did not plan to fight with Russia for long, nor did he intend to let Russia invest much troops in Europe. He directly aimed at Russia's back. China's plan from the beginning was to attack Russia first and concentrate on attacking Russia with all its strength.

The first knife began with the former watershed - Chelyabinsk.

The large force directly bypassed Chelyabinsk, quickly inserted into Costanai and Astana, occupied the Russian railway line in the Kazakh region, and then carried out a two-sided attack to surround Chelyabinsk.

The Russian defense force in Chelyabinsk is very strong, and the surrounding area is full of bunkers.

Hu Chuyuan did not plan to attack. His goal was to besiege the city, defend Chelyabinsk and constantly attract the Russian army to attack, and then suddenly use a more powerful new military force to encircle and annihronize the main Russian reinforcements, and finally take off the car from Ryabinsk.

After occupying the entire Kazakh region, the army began to quickly cut into the area between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and attacked the main forces of the Russian army in the Caucasus with the Persian army in the north and south.

After clearing the two forces in eastern and southern Russia, he will suspend the offensive against Russia, concentrate his forces to clear the Balkans, and gradually assist Britain and France to eradicate Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary and other miscellaneous opponents.

As for Germany, it's a matter of the British and the French.

He is not stupid enough to fight against Germany and Russia at the same time. It is the best way to concentrate his troops to deal with miscellaneous troops and take advantage of long-term resources and Germany's consumption.

Before the official start of the war, the National Military Commission had completed two emergency mobilizations. The army was added to 94 divisions, 52 divisions were upgraded to the integrated division level, the total strength of the army was expanded to 3.14 million, the marine division was added to 17 divisions, and the air force was added. Up to 15 divisions, 7 airborne divisions.

In fact, the secret of Hu Chuyuan's victory is very simple.

When others develop cavalry, he develops mechanized troops. When others develop mechanized troops, he develops the air force. The best strategic advantage is to take the tactical advantage ahead of the opponent.

If he wants to fight World War II, there is no way. He can only take the lead in developing the world's largest aircraft carrier fleet and engage in atomic bombs and ballistic missiles by the way.

What else can he do?

I want to be the country with the largest territory and the largest colonial territory in the world, and I don't want to fight... That's really a dream!

Therefore, China can only be ready to go to war forever.

Before the full declaration of war, Hu Chuyuan had also been fully deployed in China. Li Kaiye once again went to Novosibirsk Province to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Siberian Front Army. Feng Guozhang went to the Caucasus battlefield, and Lu Guangquan was in the Balkans.

Duan Qirui and Yang Zong Li stayed in China. The former served as the Minister of the Army and Vice Chairman of the National Military Commission, and the latter served as the Chief of the General Staff of the Army Staff. It is expected that the 12 divisions that will stay in the country will be controlled by Hu Chuyuan himself.

... The scale of the war expanded rapidly, and the main force of the Russian army quickly gathered in the Caucasus and launched the first round of large-scale offensive in Armenia before the summer passed.

Persia and Armenia assembled 500,000 troops, roughly equivalent to the total strength of the Russian army in the Caucasus. The two sides confronted each other in the Yerevan region.

In the Balkan battlefield, the allied forces of Italy, Austria-Hungary, Seville, Romania and Bulgaria attacked Macedonia, with more than 1.3 million allied troops, while the Ottoman Empire, Marston and Albanian allied forces were less than 700,000. Zhang Shiying led another 220,000 West Asian First Army. There are a total of six divisions.

In the European battlefield, Germany first attacked Luxembourg and Belgium and seized the main traffic road to France. The British and French forces arrived in Belgium in August 1914, failed to resist the German offensive and retreated in an all-round way.

In September 1914, the British and French forces broke out on the banks of the Marne in the German Battle of the Marne.

Before that, the British army secretly carried out a joint development plan with China. At this time, a large number of infantry armored vehicles TZB-4 and their improved field communication vehicles had been launched, as well as 30mm wheeled grenade launchers and their enhanced models.

The German army was hit hard, and the losses of infantry and armored vehicles were serious.

In October, relying on the infantry armored vehicle TZB-4 and a small number of medium-sized main battle armored vehicles TZA-4, the British army broke through the German defense line and forced the German army to turn to passive defense. The German army held the other side of the Anna River. It was difficult for the two sides to break through and continued to enter the confrontation stage.

During this period, the large-scale decisive battle in the Sino-Russian battlefield finally arrived.

After many months of deployment, China and Russia have gathered more than one million troops in the Siberian battlefield. The two sides opened the front. The first, third and fourth armies of the northwest front of the Chinese army were divided into three ways at the same time to defeat the Russian army's external defense with mechanized large-scale mobile operations, and surrounded the car on three sides. Yabinsk.

A large-scale mechanized army battle broke out between the two sides in Chelyabinsk.

In this war, the two countries also used bombers at the same time.

However, the gap between the two sides is also very obvious.

... Li Kaiye's feeling of re-establishing as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Front is very wonderful. He found that in every war, he needs to learn to use a new tactic first.

It's the same this time.

Hu Chuyuan equipped him with 6 air force divisions, 3 bombing divisions, 2 mixed divisions and 1 airborne division.

Almost half of the strength of the domestic air force has been handed over to him.

New Siberia in October has been very cold, dry and cold. Before there is no large-scale snowfall, the weather will always be so cold, which is very uncomfortable.

However, Li Kaiye is already familiar with it.

He tried this kind of taste a few years ago.

He is not the kind of general who likes to ignore his opponents, but he inevitably feels that the victory is not far away. The two armies of the Russian army are stationed in Chelyabinsk and half of the army in Yekaterinburg.

After the rapid insertion of his three armies, the Russian army also transferred two armies from Moscow and thecha li jin (Volgograd) region, one north and one south, trying to form a three-way siege and strangled his three armies in Chelyabinsk.

This is a very interesting thing. Before that, Li Kaiye had already captured the Kazakh region by speed. It seems that the Russian army did not intend to defend the Kazakh area. They were just fortifications in the Ural River and Orenburg to prevent the northwestern army from rushing.

It doesn't matter, that's enough.

Li Kaiye wants this. He wants the Russian army to gradually defend the line and open a whole defense line to confront him. He can use large-scale mechanized troops and fast mobility to concentrate on moving and find a weak click to defeat the opponent in the movement.

He has 43 army divisions, with a total strength of 1.57 million people, divided into four armies. Almost all the elites of the Huguang Corps and the Central Plains Corps are here, all of which are integrated divisions. The integrated mechanized troops account for 1/3, and 1/3 are quasi-mechanized rapid troops.

In addition, he has six air divisions at the airport in Omsk.

He can't attack Tyumei for the time being, although it is an important goal for him. Only by taking Tyumin can he have the ability to besiege Moscow.

Before leaving, Hu Chuyuan invited him to a meal.

Hu Chuyuan's food is not delicious. He eats delicacies. After eating, he has to take his head to guarantee it.

I ate all the food, and I had to get the military order.

This time, Li Kaiye was also very uncertain... The military order he led was to capture Moscow and surround St. Petersburg. Domestic resources were given priority to him, and the others were covering for him.

From Yanjing to Novosibirsk, he has been thinking about how to fight the problem of Moscow.

He has carefully studied the lessons of Napoleon's failure, although when he was at the Oakland Military Academy in the United States, he had discussed it with his teacher Lu Guangxuan, his classmates Yang Zong Li, Zhang Shiying and others.

At that time, they concluded that Napoleon was carried away by the victory and fought too quickly. He did not achieve the step-by-step strategy and did not prepare for logistics.

Now that I think about it, this conclusion is still too simple.

It's more than that simple.

They have already hit other people's nests. Can others not be in a hurry?

Now think about it, Napoleon is not too wrong. It is risky to fight against Moscow, and you must take risks.

Even today, he has to take risks and must ensure the connection of the whole railway from Novgodero, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Tyumin, Chelyabinsk...

In addition, the country has to mobilize human and material resources to build the railway from Tashkent to Orenburg for him. He also has to try his best to keep the railway from Orenburg to Chelyabinsk. Fortunately, he did it quickly and attacked quickly. He grabbed Costanai before the Russians destroyed the railway and guaranteed from Costanai to Astana. The railway line from Astana to Almaty.

The siege of Moscow is not possible without two railway lines. In addition, there are many road lines. It doesn't matter if the road conditions are almost the same, but there must be.

Therefore, he and Hu Chuyuan proposed to keep a simple engineering division, which was responsible for road construction.

In addition, he wanted more bombing divisions to bomb Moscow and the subsequent Russian supply lines to prevent the Russian and German troops from assisting Moscow.

These conditions are indispensable.

So it's not easy to besiege Moscow.

The good news is that the autonomous state of Kazakhstan has been established. Through years of preparation in the early stage, Kazakh generals are organizing the army of the autonomous state in Kazakhstan. About 200,000 troops will quickly reorganize and transfer the muzzle to deal with the Russians.

The October dawn in Chelyabinsk always comes very late.

In this intellectual war, Li Kaiye made a bold plan to pull out the second army in his hand and suddenly destroy the unstable foothold with the fastest attack... The fourth army from the Russian Eastern Front in Carijin, more than 200 kilometers away.

Rapid annihilation war, full firepower, two air force bombers attacked in an all-round way, and raided from heaven to earth.

I'm very used to it. Li Kaiye still let Sun Daoyuan, an old subordinate for many years, take on this heavy responsibility.

The Second Army started from the night before yesterday, traveled day and night, and contacted by radio. Now it is about to exchange fire with the Fourth Army on the Russian Eastern Front.

The airport roared, and 324 H-5 bombers of the two air force bombers and more than 210 reconnaissance aircraft, attack aircraft and fighters of the affiliated mixed brigade flew into the sky one by one. Compared with the whole normal period, the wartime staffing was almost doubled.

In order to ensure that the Second Army quickly annihilated the opponent and take the opportunity to occupy Orenburg, Li Kaiye decided to take out his trump card in this battle.

The trump card does not have to wait until the last moment to be taken out. This kind of key battle that determines the long-term situation also needs to be taken out.

Take down Orenburg and annihilate the quasi-mechanized Fourth Army of the Russian Eastern Front, which is regarded as the trump card of the Russian army. As long as this move is won, it will be difficult for the Russians to turn the tables from him.

At this time, the fourth army on the eastern front of the Russian army should still be stationed in Orenburg, waiting for the next order, or waiting for the third army on the northern front to arrive in Izhevsk. This is the problem of the marching speed of mechanized and non-mechanized troops.

This is what Li Kaiye wants to take advantage of.

Not much. As long as there is a gap of two days, he can strep an army in advance.

When the air force arrived at the outskirts of Orenburg, the Second Northwest Army was more than 40 kilometers away from the Russian garrison. The Russian army had already noticed that it was preparing for war.

A large-scale army is busy on the ground, looking like a group of grasshoppers from the air.

After confirming the main position of the opponent's mechanized troops, large-scale bombing immediately began. The scale of this bombing was completely beyond the imagination of the Russians. Tens of thousands of cluster bombs fell from high altitude, blowing up the entire garrison area into a sea of hell.

Constrained by the name of the engine, almost all the armored vehicles of the Russian army are of the TZB-2 series, and the armored defense level is much worse than that of the TZB-2 series, so that they can be penetrated with large-caliber rifles.

This can't stop the indiscriminate bombing of cluster bombs, and 1/4 of the mechanized troops concentrated in the Russian army completely disintegrated in almost half an hour.

During this period, the Second Northwest Army has divided its troops to attack the Russian army in two ways. It was not until the bombing of the air force and the dive attack of fighters and attack aircraft gradually ended that the Second Northwest Army launched a comprehensive encirclement offensive.

It's almost a bloodless blade.

On October 14, 1914, Sun Daoyuan's second northwest army attacked Orenburg and annijud out the fourth army on the eastern front of the Russian army. At the same time, it continued to advance westward with the cooperation of the air force and captured Samara on October 16.

China's Northwest Front Army has reached the Volga River, which is really ecstatic news.

The situation of the war took a sharp turn. The Northwest First Group, which concentrated the main force of the Central Plains Corps, also crossed the defense line of the Russian army's Ural Mountains and directly attacked the third group of the Russian North Line to rescue. Because the other party was an army with infantry as the absolute main force, with the cooperation of the air force, the decisive battle between more than 500,000 people between the armies was very It is about to become a complete annihilation war.

In just one week, the Russian army lost nearly one million main troops in Orenburg and the Ufa area on the east side of the Volga River. More than a million troops in Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg and Tyumin were also surrounded by the army of the northwest front of China.

The rapid change of the situation, especially the power of the air force, made Li Kaiye quickly change his plan and began to attack Chelyabinsk.

A heavy bomber is nothing.

324 heavy bombers are combined, and the power is really terrible.

H-5 became the key to the decision of the second Sino-Russian war.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the Russian garrison in Chelyabinsk was quickly defeated and took the Russian reinforcements away from the main battlefield. On November 14, Li Kaiye organized a large-scale airborne division battle in Tyumin, captured Tyumin and captured Russia's largest petrochemical base.

November 30th.

Before the arrival of winter, Li Kaiye launched the final siege in Yekaterinburg.

This is almost a replica of the expected siege of Moscow. Yekaterinburg is of great significance to the Russians, and the whole battle is extremely difficult.

Relying on the comprehensive superior surname of army equipment, Li Kaiye finally laughed to the end in the arduous tug-of-war.

On December 14, the return of the second army of the Northwest Front finally penetrated the complex defensive bunker line outside Yekaterinburg and captured Yekaterinburg, and Li Kaiye's Northwest Front Army also suffered 140,000 casualties and lost more than 700 armored vehicles.

The loss of the old TZB-2 armored vehicle is the most serious. The enemy's 47mm machine gun is the main lethal weapon. Due to its large size, these weapons are basically ambushed in a hidden bunker and suddenly launched an attack on the mechanized force.

Other weapons of anti-armoured vehicles are also appearing on a large scale. Grenade launchers, mortars, anti-armoured mines and incendiary bombs are all generating their own power.

In any case, Li Kaiye completed the goal ahead of schedule and began to confront the Russian army across the Volga River.

The rapid retreat of the Russian army completely exceeded the expectations of the Allies. It was expected that the German-Russian coalition to defeat the Anglo-French coalition forces together was forced to be suspended, and the two Russian armies that had arrived in the German hinterland were forced to withdraw to strengthen the defense of the Moscow area.

Fortunately, winter in Russia has arrived.

During this period, around Samara, Bilm and Ufa, Li Kaiye only defended on the spot and built a new airport on the east bank of the Volga River, allowing the engineers to maintain the railway, build strategic material reserve stations, and count the trophy obtained from the Russian army.

The Mosin-Ganna rifle is still very good. It is just used to form a Kazakh militia force and ship it to the Persian and the Ottoman Empire in large quantities to form a larger force.

In the European battlefield, the German army began to use chemical weapons on a large scale. The two sides retaliated against each other. At the same time, it was difficult to make breakthrough progress, and they have been constantly fighting.

Without the impact of the Russian army, the combat effectiveness of Italy and Austria-Hungary is not too strong, and the Balkan front is basically in a sticky state. In order to prevent the Russian army from being defeated, the German army was forced to transfer part of its troops to the Minsk area and is ready to assist in the defense of Moscow.

In the winter, the Russian army began to increase the number of new recruits on a large scale, and the total force gradually returned to the level at the beginning of the war in 1914.

However, it is definitely a mistake to compare with China's reserve forces.

While the Allies are busy expanding their military strength, the Allies are also rapidly expanding their military strength, especially China.

In March 1915, Hu Chuyuan expanded the army to 114 divisions, with a total of 12 armies. The total strength of the army reached 5.8 million. A large number of new second-line divisions were mainly responsible for the defense and coordinated operations in the rear, and the main force was still dominated by 74 veteran divisions.

While the infantry division was added on a large scale, the air force continued to expand on a large scale, and many pilots with only a few hundred hours of driving experience were also pushed to the battlefield to practice on the sidelines.

Relying on domestic production capacity, the Air Force quickly increased to 27 divisions, concentrated on the battlefields in Turkey and China and Russia, and used the advantages of heavy bombers to continue to go deep into the battlefield to attack the supply lines of the German army.

Under the condition that it can basically meet the equipment deployment of 74 main domestic divisions, the 75mm mortar, 120mm mortar, 30mm wheeled howitzer, 122mm self-propelled howitzer, medium-sized main armored vehicle TZA-4, infantry armored vehicle TZB made in China -4 And its improved field communication vehicle and submachine gun CM1905B began to be transported to the British and French allied forces in large quantities.

Some of the main divisions responsible for guarding the Jianghuai Division and the Southwest Division in China were reorganized into the Fourth Army of the Southern Front with 350,000 people, and began to enter the Balkan battlefield on a large scale.

The Caucasian Central Line Army Group quickly assembled and expanded, adding 21 new infantry units, preparing to cooperate with the main force and the northwest front to meet in Qarijin to prepare for the early siege of Moscow.

Domestic engineers, engineering forces, and a large number of Persian and Kazakh migrant workers have been concentrated to repair the Kazakh line and the Caucasus line to prepare for the supply of at least three railways during the siege of Moscow.

In April 1915, Li Kaiye's northwest front mobilized two groups of troops to go south to attackcha li jin, continuing to use large-scale air force attacks, large-scale mechanized troops interspersed with attacks, and artillery forces completely more than three times the size of the Russian army.

The Russian army deployed a large number of troops in Tsarchin, and the two sides were entangled with each other. It was not until June that Li Kaiye completed the annihilation of Tsaramine. He went south and attacked the Caucasian Russian army from north to south with the central forces of the Bosnian-Austrian Alliance and Feng Guozhang.

In mid-July, more than 600,000 Russian troops in the Caucasus were forced to withdraw to Krasnodar, which was ambushed by Li Kaiye's early deployment and bombardment by the air force.

This time, in Krasnodar, a large-scale air force battle finally broke out between the two sides. The Russian army lacked enough fighter development technology. At present, it mainly introduced the Fokker series of fighters from Germany.

At this time, the domestic air force has begun to replace the F-104 Meerkat fighters. The powerful fighter name can completely turn this large-scale air force annik war to China, and 740 F-104s easily tore more than 1,000 Russian Fokker series fighters to pieces.

In almost every air battle, the Russian army loses hundreds of fighters, with a self-loss rate of 50%, while the self-loss rate of the Chinese air force is less than 15%.

China has been significantly stronger than the Russian army in its preparations in the past ten years. The industrial production capacity and level of the two countries are not on the same line. The quality of the army and air force is also significantly higher than that of the Russian army, and the ability of campaign commanders is also quite different... These reasons have been gathered, so that although the Russian army has the ambition of revenge, But it was lost within a year.

At the end of July 1915, the Russian army was completely depleted and forced to strategically shrink to the area around Moscow, and the German army had to reinforce more than 300,000 troops.

With the general mobilization of the German army, the German army, which only needed to fight on one side, quickly expanded its results. On the French battlefield, the German army forcibly occupied Paris, and the Chinese air force in France was forced to withdraw to Bordeaux with the British and French allied forces in the future.

In August 1915, Feng Guozhang, with the support of the allied forces of Poland and Austria, began to attack Kursk and Kiev, and Li Kaiye attacked Kazan and Novgodero.

Two armies** At the end of September, the central forces were concentrated in Bransk and Tula, responsible for besieging the southern front of Moscow, and at the same time cut off the possibility of continued reinforcements by the German army. Li Kaiye launched an offensive from the three areas of Novgodero, Ryazan and Ivanovo.

In Ryazan Oblast, Li Kaiye built a large number of air bases and began to carry out air strikes on Moscow, eliminating the last and only aircraft in Moscow, and carrying out large-scale bombing of Moscow.

Although the specific reason is unknown, the Russian army did not use chemical weapons on a large scale in normal wars. Therefore, in the bombing of Moscow, Hu Chuyuan made a clear instruction that chemical weapons and ammunition would not be used for the time being, but incendiary bombs could be used.

Li Kaiye made more detailed rules, using incendiary bombs on a large area of the army stationed in Moscow, a large number of cluster bombs on possible mechanized forces, and ordinary high explosive bombs in Moscow.

As of October 17, in just half a month, Li Kaiye mobilized more than 1,400 bombers, half of the number of heavy bombers, dropped more than 130,000 bombs, and mobilized more than 4,000 155mm guns and self-propelled artillery.

It was not until then that Li Kaiye carried out a strong attack. Led by more than 600 TZA-5 heavy armored vehicles, a large number of troops attacked and tore the gap from the eastern front of Moscow.

On October 19, after two day and night attacks, the 33rd Division of the Huguang Corps took the lead in entering Moscow. On the evening of October 21, the street battle was basically over.

After capturing Moscow, Li Kaiye's troops needed a period of replenishment due to the large damage. Feng Guozhang's troops continued to attack Minsk from the two directions of Kiev and Moscow, trying to completely separate Russia and Germany and carry out the final battle against the Russian capital St. Petersburg.

Due to the insufficient estimate of the German combat strength, on November 19, Feng Guozhang was severely damaged by the German army in the Vitebsk area and was forced to temporarily retreat and re-defend. The Bosnian and Austrian coalition forces were also severely damaged by the German army in the Gomeli area, and the two-line attack plan failed to work.

In January 1916, Li Kaiye's troops went south and joined the central army. They divided their troops into three lines to attack Vitebsk. Three mechanized armies raided at the same time, and finally tore up the German defense line, divided the German army into four, and broke them one by one.

The Battle of Vitebsk was the first real large-scale battle between the Chinese and German armies, which can also be said to be a battle between teachers and students.

After decisively cutting off the retreat of the German army and annihaling more than 130,000 German troops, Li Kaiye was forced to withdraw to Vitebsk because of the German chemical weapons attack and strong counterattack.

On January 24, 1916, the long-range bombers of the Chinese Air Force began to carry out chemical weapons retaliation attacks on the German army stationed on the outskirts of Minsk.

In the anxious confrontation with the German army, the General Staff adjusted the army's tactical plan, was not in a hurry to destroy the German army in the Minsk area for the time being, concentrated all its forces to the north, completely captured the Russian capital St. Petersburg, and forced Russia to unconditionally surrender and withdraw from the war.

However, just as Li Kaiye was preparing to readjust the tactical deployment, a large-scale workers' strike took place in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, and more than 300,000 St. Petersburg workers declared a strike.

The Tsar [***] team was basically exhausted in the defense of Moscow. In the situation of inability to suppress, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to abdicate. A day later, the successor Tsar's brother Mikhail was also forced to abdicate, and the Romanov dynasty ended its rule over the Russian Empire.

Because it happened in February of the Russian calendar, it is also known as the February Revolution.

There are three leading political bodies in the February Revolution, namely, the Constitutional Party with liberal (capitalist) ideas, the Left Social Revolutionary Party and the Social Party. The main body of the Social Revolutionary Party is the Mensheviks who support constitutionalism and the election, and a few are the Bolsheviks who support populism and the people's dictatorship. The Mensheviks and Bolsheviks each account for half of the social cooking party.

The February Revolution suddenly broke out, and the three parties, the Constitutional Mingzhu Party, the Social Revolutionary Party and the Social Mingzhu Party, formed a temporary political axe and announced their withdrawal from the Allies. If the Allies continued to attack, they could only fight to defend their land.

There is nothing so cheap now.

On April 17, the Military Commission continued to maintain the original strategic plan. Li Kaiye led an army to attack St. Petersburg, Russia. On May 3, the whole army conquered St. Petersburg and forced Russia to sign the St. Petersburg Peace Armistice Treaty.

Russia recognizes the establishment of Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Georgia and Asebai [***], recognizes the regional autonomy of the autonomous states of Lithuania, the autonomous states of Tatar, the autonomous states of Caucasus, the autonomous states of Chechnya, Dagestan, Belarus, Latvia and Estonia, and recognizes the ownership of all the regions east of the Urals. And return to Polish territory.

In terms of specific division, the Republic of Kazakhstan and Russia take the Volga River as the main dividing line, and Russia across the river from Astrakhan, Tsarizin (Volgograd), Saratov and other regions, and the Tatar Autonomous State with Samara as the dividing line, and has the Orenburg region, and China with Orsk as the dividing line. The dividing line.

The total area of the Tatar Autonomous State is 197,700 square kilometers. The capital of the Autonomous State is located in Kazan, which, together with Kazakhstan, has become a buffer zone between China and Russia.

The full name of the new Russia is the Mingzhu Federal Republic of Russia. It implements the Mingzhu parliamentary system and adopts the principle of majority party governance.

During this period, Jiang Yanxing, secretary of the confidential secretariat, arrived in St. Petersburg at the same time to implement the special order granted by Hu Chuyuan. He took advantage of the special opportunity during the military occupation to secretly execute and exile a large number of Bolsheviks, reshuffled the cards within the social cooking party, and establish a social cooking worker by the Maltov representing the Mensheviks. The Party reorganized the Mensheviks.

On this basis, the Social Mingzhu Party and the Constitutional Mingzhu Party jointly govern, and promulgated the Anti-State Monotary Law in the shortest time, prohibiting anti-state dictatorship speech, defining the Bolsheviks as illegal armed organizations, and carrying out large-scale arrests nationwide.

After capturing St. Petersburg, Li Kaiye continued to lead the main force south to attack Minsk, while Feng Guozhang led a second-line army group to sit in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and the capital also moved to Moscow, which had been basically purged once.

In May 1916, a large number of air forces began to gather in the periphery of Minsk. During the two years, the production scale of Zibo Aircraft Manufacturing Factory under Fuguo Heavy Industries expanded sixfold, opened branches in Jinyang, and set up professional parts and supporting product providers in Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong, producing 74 for political axes. 30 planes.

Jiangnan Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries are also producing fighter jets with the greatest capacity. As of March 1916, the total number of aircraft of the two major military organizations of the Allies and the Allies has exceeded 34,000, and the industrial production capacity of almost every country has been raised to the limit.

Because the technology is still relatively basic, the new speed is very fast. The F-102 bear fighter provided by Zibo Aircraft Factory, the F-107 Black stork fighter jointly produced by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Jiangnan Group, the British FB5, FE2B, F2B, and the French Spade series. Thousands of bucket machines and the German Fokker series have been produced.

In the French battlefield, the Fork ED series used to be noisy for a while, but it is already a thing of the past.

With the full purchase of F-102 bear fighters by the Allies, the German Fokker series of fighters soon fell behind.

The F-104 mongoat fighter jointly developed and produced by Zibo Aircraft Factory and the international general-purpose group is even more beyond imagination in this era. It has a single-engine single-wing fighter with more than 355 horsepower. Relying on a powerful engine and excellent pneumatic appearance far more than other fighters, the F-104 fighter's surname energy Far more than German warplanes.

At this stage, the engine of the latest fighter of the German Fokker series has not exceeded 200 horsepower.

This is a two-level fighter.

Since its operation in 1915, more than 7,000 F-104 Meerkat fighters have been produced in the United States and China at the same time, providing a large number of support to Britain, France and other allied countries.

In the absence of a suitable fighter to compete with the F-104 catap fighter, the German bombers can't play any role at all, and the land forces and airports can only be bombed by the Chinese air force.

On June 4, the United States officially declared war on Germany, and the main force of the German army was forced to move to domestic defense.

On June 21, Li Kaiye completely annijuted the last part of the German army stationed in Minsk and invaded Poland and Romania.
