The original Prince Kangying's Mansion in Ulaanbaatar has been empty since Prince Kangying was destroyed. Later, it was converted into a museum by Su Tong. All the luxurious objects in Prince Kangying's Mansion were placed as they were for people to visit.
Tour. Su Tong and Jiang Baili hosted a banquet here today for Marshal Timoshenko and his former senior Soviet generals.
In the spacious restaurant in the palace, Su Tong invited everyone to sit down one by one with a smile. After the waiter put the dishes and bowls and chopsticks on the table, Su Tong raised his wine glass and toasted them three glasses of wine. After finishing the three glasses of wine,
When Su Tong was about to invite them to eat, he realized that there was no knife and fork that Lao Maozi used to put on the table. When Su Tong was about to let people bring the knife and fork, he never thought that Timoshenko and General Andrupv and his party
Everyone skillfully picked up chopsticks to pick up vegetables and used them to eat with such skill that Chief Su felt dizzy.
As if sensing the confusion in Su Tong's eyes, Timoshenko explained: "We have been here for so long. If we can't even use chopsticks, wouldn't it make us look too stupid?"
Su Tong was speechless for a while. Well, it's not that you are too stupid. It's just that you forgot to do as the Romans do when you're in the country. Just imagine, there are hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners of war. Who would be so bored as to make hundreds of thousands of knives, forks, stems and spoons for them?
Use it. You can eat it if you like it or not. Even the stupidest person can use chopsticks under the pressure of survival.
"Haha, it's my fault. I forgot to provide you with knives and forks. It was my mistake. I will definitely change it next time." Su Tong chuckled.
Brother Timoshenko and others felt a twinge of pain when they heard this. What did this guy say? Let’s wait for another time. What’s the matter? Capturing us once is not enough. We are thinking about what will happen to the captives the second time. I won’t give you this next time no matter what I say.
Opportunity.
Looking at Timoshinger and others who were immersed in eating, Chief Su and Jiang Baili looked at each other and felt speechless. It seems that life in this prisoner-of-war camp is really not that good. Look at these poor people.
The child is hungry.
However, Su Tong was not in a hurry. When everyone had almost finished eating, he asked with a smile: "Marshal Timoshenko."
"Wait a minute." Before Su Tong could finish speaking, Timoshenko interrupted him: "I am no longer a marshal, you should just call me by my name."
Well, Su Tong just remembered that after this guy surrendered last year, Stalin immediately revoked his rank of marshal and declared him a traitor to Soviet Russia.
Thinking of this, Su Tong smiled slightly and said: "Okay, Comrade Timoshenko, General Andrupv, and General Molokov are here. I would like to take the liberty to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
Do you plan to settle down in Chahar, live in Siberia, or return to Soviet Russia and start over?"
Timoshenko and others' expressions darkened and they all fell silent. Finally, General Andrupov broke the silence, "It seems that it is impossible for us to return to our hometown in this life. If we can, Molokov and I hope
Being able to settle down in Chahar means that we have been soldiers for most of our lives, and we hope to live a stable life in the second half of our lives."
"Well, no problem," Su Tong assured, nodding and patting his chest.
"I hope to settle in Siberia," Timoshinger finally said.
"If you can, I can arrange this issue, but I have another suggestion, do you want to hear it?" Su Tong said with a smile: "We are preparing to form a new Tsarist Russian government in Siberia, and now we are inviting all walks of life in Russia
We hope that you can participate in this feast, and we also hope that you can serve as the deputy minister of defense for this new policy."
"General Su, thank you for your invitation, but unfortunately I am no longer interested in military and political affairs. I just want to spend my old age in peace. I am really sorry that I can only live up to your kindness.
"As expected, as Su Tong and Jiang Baili had expected, Timoshenko rejected Su Tong's invitation without hesitation.
"Oh, that's such a pity." Su Tong shrugged helplessly, turned to look at General Andrupv and General Molokov and said, "Comrade generals, what do you want me to do?"
I have a small suggestion before settling in Chahar”
"Please tell me"
Su Tong put down his chopsticks, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "To be honest, I am worried about the future life of hundreds of thousands of your old troops who stayed in Chahar or Mongolia. I suggest that you two can set up a construction company.
Company, recruit a group of old troops to build railways or highways and carry out some construction projects. Alternatively, you can go to Siberia to join the Russian escort led by General Alexei [], what do you two think? Otherwise, once fifty
The influx of tens of thousands of young people with no source of livelihood into Chahar or Siberia will cause huge challenges and troubles to the local security environment. I don’t want them to be involved in robbery or other crimes after they leave the prison camp.
Sent to jail for criminal issues."
Su Tong's words caused Timoshenko and others to think deeply. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for these prisoners to return to their hometown where Soviet Russia is now ruling. It is a road of no return. But if
Living in Chahar and other places is a big problem, because the influx of hundreds of thousands of young adults who only know how to build roads and guns into the same place at the same time will bring huge consequences to the local security and living environment.
challenge.
What to do? They can only follow what General Su said, either arrange for them to join the army again, or form a labor-intensive company to solve their work and life problems. Originally, they only thought about the days after they were free.
, but they did not expect the living arrangements in the future. It seems that the general in front of them does have a far-reaching view of the problem than they do.
After thinking for a long time, General Andrupov and General Molokov smiled bitterly: "Well, it seems that the retirement plan of our two old men is going to go to waste. We will listen to you and form a
A construction company, it can be regarded as finding a way out for these old subordinates."
"Comrade Timoshenko, aren't you going to do something for your subordinates?" Su Tong looked at Timoshenko and smiled slyly.
Timoshenko looked at Su Tong with a helpless smile and said, "I have to admit that you are a cunning opponent. Well, I promise you, I will try my best to persuade my subordinates to join General Alexei's Russian escort []
But I can’t guarantee that I can convince them. After all, I don’t know if they will listen to what I, an outdated old man, have to say.”
Su Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed and said: "Don't worry, we have an old saying in China that one veteran can defeat two others. As long as you take action, you will definitely succeed." Su Tong's worries that had been hanging in his heart finally came to an end.
Due to Siberia's vast territory and sparsely populated characteristics, the number of Russian guards led by Alexey has not been able to expand significantly. So far, it has only remained at around 200,000 people, unable to compete with Zhukov.
The main force of the group.
And Su Tong knew Timoshinger's influence among Russian soldiers. If he could come forward and say such a thing, it would be much stronger than Alexey's ten recruitment advertisements.
Su Tong said sincerely to Timoshenko, "Comrade Timoshenko, thank you very much. You have solved a big problem for us."
"Forget it, don't thank me anymore. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong. Maybe future history will write me down as a despicable and shameless traitor." Timoshenko's expression immediately became lonely, and he looked down.
He picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up and strode outside.
Looking at Timoshenko's lonely back, Chief Su couldn't help but feel a little guilty. In later generations, he was a dazzling general on the Soviet-German battlefield, but now he had to forcibly put his most glorious life to death.
Destroyed. However, when this guy thought that Alexei's Russian escort [] would soon increase the number of hundreds of thousands of reserve troops, he immediately put this apology behind him.
After sending Timoshenko, General Andrupov, and General Molokov away, Su Tong and Jiang Baili returned to the living room and sat down.
Jiang Baili took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and thought for a while, put the cup on the table and then asked: "Jianming, do you really plan to expand Alexei's protection? Aren't you afraid that there will be a trend of being too big to lose in the future?
"
Su Tong slowly lifted the teapot and filled Jiang Baili with tea before smiling and saying, "No, I have never worried about this problem. An armed force that cannot even guarantee the source of its own weapons relies entirely on its allies to provide all funds and weapons."
No matter how powerful it is, it is just a castle built on the beach, so no matter how powerful this army is, I will not worry about their loyalty at all."
Later history has clearly proven that an army that relies entirely on foreign aid from the source of weapons to funds and finances is like a tiger without teeth and cannot be feared. At the same time, they are dependent on and loyal to their allies.
The level is unmatched by anyone.
Alexei understands this very well, so he has always been the most loyal thug of our Chief Su, because he clearly knows that the existence of himself and his subordinates depends entirely on Su Tong and his Chahar government.
.As long as Su Tong and Chahar's government exist, their good days will continue. On the contrary, if Su Tong and Chahar's government collapse, it means that their doom is coming.
.
"Haha, I'm very happy that you can think so." Jiang Baili felt a sense of relief at his son-in-law's blackmail. Who said this guy would only go on a rampage? You see, he did a good job at this point.
, I think very profoundly, being able to indirectly control an army and political power quietly is a skill in itself.
