Kazan was the turning point of the Russian Civil War. The emergence of a certain party named Butterfly greatly increased the intensity of the Russian Civil War. With the assistance of the Allied firepower and the input of Chinese firepower, the firepower of the Belarusian army was greatly improved.

Historically, the White Russian army should have been defeated at the gates of Kazan in April. At this time and space, they were not defeated, but they did not capture Kazan. The battle between the red and white armies lasted until the end of July and fell into a stalemate.

Seeing the stalemate in the war situation, Kolchak personally went to the Kazan front line to inspect and boost morale. At the same time, he also brought arms newly purchased from China. The Belarusian army, which had been supplemented by arms, with the Czech Army as the vanguard, once again launched a fierce attack on Kazan.

attack.

The 155 howitzers and 105 howitzers purchased by China have played a prominent role in the past as the main firepower of the Belarusian army. The scene of more than a hundred cannons firing at the same time is quite spectacular, especially in the face of the Red Russians who have no power.

Too many heavily armed armies.

The last position outside Kazan City was shrouded in fierce artillery fire. Some Red Russian recruits panicked under the artillery fire. They got up and ran away. They immediately found the supervising team commanded by the political commissar and killed them mercilessly.

Kolchak was deeply satisfied with the artillery preparations when he saw deserters being shot through a high-power gun scope. Although the money charged by China was relatively low, the goods were quite good. In comparison, the equipment provided by the Allied Powers

They are all light weapons, there are very few heavy machine guns, and the artillery pieces are all of small caliber.

Ula! The Belarusian troops shouting slogans crawled out of their bunkers and enjoyed the Chinese liquor distributed before the war. The combat effectiveness of the Belarusian soldiers was greatly improved.

Under the threat of the supervising team commanded by the political commissar, the Red Russian army on the position refused to retreat. Once again they repelled the attack of the White Russian army. The bodies left in front of the position were densely packed. Kolchak sighed helplessly and ordered to prepare for the next attack.

An attack.

While the fighting was going on under the city of Kazan, something unpleasant happened in the Far East that made both warring parties unhappy.

In fact, it is not only the two sides in the Russian civil war who are unhappy, but also China and Japan, who have made great efforts.

According to Kolchak's idea, it would be best for both Chinese and Japanese troops to come to the front to help Belarus fight the war. After defeating the Soviet Union, it would be best to just go back to their own country. The problem is that these two countries send the most troops, and China

They dispatched ten infantry divisions in one breath, which seemed to be the most dedicated among the fourteen Qianshe countries.

However, after the Chinese occupied Irkutsk, they stopped. The Japanese, using Vladivostok as their base, also stopped after taking over all Russian ports in the Far East. The same goes for the US military, which stayed behind.

Vladivostok can’t move.

In contrast, the armies of other countries landed from the north with the support of warships, but they did not have much desire to go south. The Russian Civil War mainly focused on the two armies of the civil war.

It was under this situation that the British government took action. As the leader of the world, Britain always likes to engage in so-called balance. Even if it is an ally, it pulls one to fight against another. This method is quite skillful.

At the Paris Peace Conference, Britain slapped the United States, who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, and knocked it out. It turned around and looked at China and Japan in the Far East. One came to the east and the other to the west. One sent 150,000 troops, and the other sent more than 70,000 troops.

, each stood in a place, and they seemed to be fighting to death and refused to leave. Britain began to worry about this again.

What should we do? At the Paris Peace Conference, Britain acquiesced to China's request and canceled its concession in China in exchange for China not going out of its way to help the United States and sacrificing its younger brother Japan. You must know Japan's interests.

There were already very few interests in China, and Japan's interests in China were very important. Because of Britain's acquiescence, Japan lost its last leased territory in China.

Although Japan was very unhappy, he still obeyed the boss's decision. As a result, Uchida Yasuya was severely criticized by the cabinet. When China proposed to exchange an unknown oil field for Port Arthur and Taiwan, Uchida Yasuya was firmly opposed to it. Now all countries are beginning to withdraw from the concession.

The military police were withdrawn, and the Chinese military police were stationed to maintain security in the Ziyou Trade Zone. Japan had no choice but to accept this reality. Starting from July 1st, the Japanese military police gradually withdrew from Yaojin, Shanghai, Lushun and other places.

Go on garrison patrol.

Zhu Erdian, the veteran British Minister to China, once again appeared at the Presidential Palace of the Republic of China to ask for an audience with Sun Baoqi. After a brief interview, Zhu Erdian left proudly, leaving behind an angry Sun Baoqi.

"Prepare the car and go to the Marshal's Mansion." As soon as Sun Baoqi finished speaking, Zhang Yilu, the new Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, raised his hand to stop him and said: "President, you might as well call Fuguo and ask him to come. Tang Jiwu,

Just take the medicine according to the prescription."

Sun Baoqi's expression changed, he stared at Zhang Yilu and said, "Zhong Ren, why do you say this?"

Zhang Yilu and Sun Baoqi were friends for the first time. During Yuan Shikai's period, he was enthusiastic about education and industry. He was once preparing to leave the country and then join Yuan Shikai's shogunate. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and the Fang family suddenly swept Zhili and established the overall situation of the Republican Party. After Gu Weijun returned to China from Paris, Wang Zhengting transferred

He was appointed ambassador to the United States, and Gu Weijun took over as foreign minister. Sun Baoqi made a special call to Jiangsu to invite Zhang Yilu to serve as his assistant.

Zhang Yilu had a clear view of the domestic political situation, and because he was relatively close to Zhang Jian, Jianxiong was actually quite disgusted with him. After Jin Yao accompanied Sun Baoqi to meet Zhu Erdian, he saw that Sun Baoqi was a little panicked and took the initiative to ask for help.

When he went to see Fang Jianxiong, he stopped him with words. The meaning was very clear. Sun Baoqi was the president and the highest leader of the Republic of China.

Zhang Yilu's actions were also motivated by interests. Although Fang Jianxiong clearly stated that he was not a political leader, in fact, the country's major policies basically came from Fang's ideas. For example, compulsory five-year compulsory education, rent and interest reductions,

Zhang Yilu supports the five-year compulsory education, but is opposed to the latter two because it hurts the interests of local gentry. Zhang Yilu himself is

Large landowners, the development of national industry and commerce requires accumulation, and the simplest way is to obtain funds from land. In the early days of the Republic of China, power in towns and villages was actually in the hands of local gentry. This was the so-called gentry power. The policies implemented by Fang Jianxiong seriously

The power of the gentry was harmed, and local resistance was strong. If Fang Jianxiong hadn't been ruthless and ruthless, and killed a group of gentry who opposed these policies early in the alliance of the four provinces to shock the country, the gentry in various places would have fallen out with each other long ago.

In the early days of the Republican administration, a series of policies to encourage industry and commerce, coupled with the dividends brought by the European War, concealed some contradictions. With the end of the European War, the economic development of the Republic of China stagnated, and some concealed contradictions were exposed again.

After the new election, the Republican Party got the opportunity to continue to be in power. At the same time, it also triggered some opposition parties to collude with each other to plot the next election. Among them, the Progressive Party headed by Liang Qichao and the United Party headed by Zhang Jian formed an alliance.

, the reason is naturally that Zhang and Liang felt the crisis. After the new cabinet was introduced, it was passed smoothly in Congress. That was because the Republican Party was strong and other opposition parties could not unite.

Zhang Jian was dissatisfied after losing his position as Minister of Industry and Commerce, and felt that he had to step aside, so he naturally had to struggle. Not to mention Liang Qichao, he didn't get around very well, so they hit it off.

Under this background, Zhang Yilu, as a Republican general and an old friend of Zhang Jian, naturally turned towards Zhang Jian. How to shake Fang Jianxiong's leadership was a headache for me, because Fang Jianxiong's reputation was too strong.

, and controls the army. What should we do? We can only take detours!

It should be said that Zhang, Liang and others are all well-educated people who are familiar with history books. They are not people who just mess around when they are hot-headed. The problem is that Chinese literary scholars have been like this since ancient times. They feel that they do not need to contribute when they are defeated, and they will do their job if they sit down.

At the beginning, I was a little afraid of Fang's sharp knife. After a few years, I saw that it was just like this. I was living a good life too comfortably, so I started to struggle again.

So he began to constantly play tricks on public opinion, talking about the political speech of the * Constitution all day long, thinking that he had mastered the tools of public opinion, and doing everything possible to discredit the current government. In a word: to expose Fang*

The essence of democracy is to restore the Republic of China to a true democratic constitution.

Fang Jianxiong has been busy reorganizing the army recently. He was originally thinking about disarmament. Unexpectedly, after putting forward the proposal, he was collectively opposed by other members of the Military Commission, including Sa Zhenbing. The reason is very simple. The Republic of China is so big that it is necessary to maintain an army of 1.5 million.

The bottom line is the lowest, otherwise the army will definitely not be enough. There are even more extreme ones, such as Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, who even advocated expanding the army. However, Fang Jianxiong pushed back, and the final decision was to maintain the scale of one hundred A-grade divisions.

Sun Baoqi understood what Zhang Yilu meant, hesitated for a moment and thought about Chen Lu, then called Fang Jianxiong. Fang Jianxiong was very busy here, so when he received the call, he still asked politely: "Teacher, what do you have to say?"

Sun Baoqi said on the phone: "Fuguo, Zhu Erdian came to the presidential palace to inform me that Britain and France proposed to establish a Far Eastern Republic in the Far East, with former Tsarist Russian general Semyonov as president. Let's discuss how to deal with this matter.

."

When Fang Jianxiong heard about this, he didn't take it too seriously. He nodded and said, "I'll be there right away."

Before he even left home, Tang Hualong called. After Fang Jianxiong answered, Tang Hualong took the initiative and said: "Fu Shuai, I think this call from the President is very strange. In the past, weren't such matters always discussed at the Marshal's Mansion?"

Fang Jianxiong hummed and said nothing. After calming down his mind, he said, "It doesn't hurt to take a quick trip. State affairs are more important." Tang Hualong didn't say much, saying that he would just pass by.

Why did Tang Hualong make this call? Fang Jianxiong knew very well that it was to express his attitude. In fact, Tang Hualong was not aware of this problem at first, and it was his secretary Wang Fake who reminded him. Speaking of this Wang Fake, he still has a relationship with Sun Baoqi. The matter started with Sun Baoqi.
