Chapter five hundred and forty third killing everywhere
Sophia's coronation ceremony was held in the original Khabarovsk Cathedral. Of course, this small court could not compare with the grandeur of previous czars, but various countries also sent representatives to congratulate the queen on her coronation. Sophia declared to the outside world that she was Catherine III.
, became the first emperor of the Far Eastern Empire.
In fact, many people are not optimistic about the queen, thinking that she is destined to be just a puppet. However, in the speech when the queen ascended the throne, she surprised everyone. She actually announced a set of new policies that hit the mark.
"The empire has three primary tasks. The first is to restore peace and strive to reach an agreement with Moscow so that Russians can no longer kill each other; the second is to eliminate hunger. The imperial government will implement a comprehensive relief-for-work program to provide every
The people provide food and fuel, and at the same time drastically cut various taxes so that everyone can survive; the third is to eliminate chaos, unify the military and administration of the Far East, eliminate separatist forces, and allow the country to recuperate and recover as soon as possible."
The new plan elaborated by the Queen just caters to the wishes of the Russians, to restore peace, end the chaos, and then live again. After hearing this new deal, representatives from various countries also secretly marveled that this little girl has some ability. If she can really implement her plan
If this goes on, maybe Russia's bad situation can be reversed, and everyone can't help but have some hopes.
It's just that they didn't see through the things behind this so-called New Deal. Tax cuts and food-for-work relief can definitely help the Russians tide over the difficulties, but in order to do these two things, they must first have a large amount of funds. And the Far East has been frequently affected by war.
After looting, more than half of the population was lost, and the funds to maintain the operation of the army and government were not enough, so how could they come up with extra funds?
The Russians have no money, but Zhang Tinglan has money, especially after acquiring more than 400 tons of gold from Russia. Fengtian Bank already has sufficient gold reserves and is preparing to print money! Of course, printing money is not a small matter.
The thing is, it is not enough to just have gold. At least there must be investment flows. Otherwise, if the funds remain in the three eastern provinces, it will only cause serious inflation, so some funds will simply flow to the Far East.
Zhang Tinglan and Sophia reached an agreement, and Feng Jun provided a loan of 100 million yuan to support tax cuts and work-for-relief programs. As compensation, Sophia sold the Far East section of the Trans-Siberian Railway to Feng Jun, including
The right to use the Vladivostok port. In addition, those Russian technicians were also packaged and sold to Fengjun, allowing them to work for Fengjun for ten years.
Although Fengjun was helpful to the Belarusian talents, they were Russians after all and it was difficult for them to work for Fengjun with peace of mind. Zhang Tinglan could only ask Sophia to come forward to appease their hearts and sold them to Fengjun for ten years.
He also promised that as long as he worked peacefully for ten years, he could return to Russia.
Of course, this is only a temporary measure. Who can say clearly what the situation in the Far East will be in ten years? After the agreement was reached, Fengjun became the master of the eastern section of the Siberian Railway, and the largest relief-for-work project was this
Railway. It can be said that Zhang Tinglan is actually using the funds to hire Russian people to build his own railway, but it is just under the banner of Sophia.
Outsiders did not know the details. They all cheered for Sophia, thinking that the queen was a capable female hero. The enthronement ceremony ended quickly. Zhang Tinglan returned to the military camp. As soon as he sat down, his second brother Zhang Tingshu came over.
"Brother, tell me the truth, are you attracted to that Russian princess?"
"Second brother, that's a Xibei girl. It's not like you don't know, how could you possibly fall in love with her?"
Zhang Tingshu shook his head: "Brother, why do you need to make it clear what is true and what is false? That girl is indeed good, and her identity as a princess is recognized by the whole world. And don't think that I don't know, her new policy should be written by my eldest brother, right?
Are you loving your wife and helping her stabilize the throne?"
"You're a big-headed guy!" Zhang Tinglan grabbed a folder and hit Zhang Tingshu hard on the head.
"Second brother, apart from being able to play tricks on you, you haven't seen through my intentions in doing this. It's really disappointing!"
Zhang Tingshu scratched his head and said with some confusion: "Brother, I also feel puzzled. You have never been so kind to the Russians. Why did you bring the Northeastern policies to the Far East? This is really abnormal, so I said
The only reasonable explanation is that you fell in love with that Catherine III!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Tinglan snorted and said with a sneer: "Do you know why the Japanese failed in the Far East? It's because they only knew how to use fists and relied on force to solve problems when they encountered them. As a result, the guerrillas killed a group of people
Another batch, increasing in number, cannot be eliminated at all. If we want to gain a foothold in the Far East, we must learn lessons and find more flexible ways to solve the problem of guerrillas."
Zhang Tingshu was still confused: "Is there any necessary connection between providing loans to the Russians and annihilating the guerrillas? Why can't I figure it out?"
"Why do Russians join the guerrillas? Except for a few true majority party members, others join the guerrillas because they can't survive and want to fight for a way out. Now that there is a way to work for relief, they
If we can survive, there will be fewer people joining the guerrillas. We will use this opportunity to bribe more spies and eliminate the real backbone of the majority party in the Far East. Without this group of people, the Russians will not be able to cause trouble!"
Zhang Tingshu finally realized it and said with a smile: "Brother, you actually have a more ruthless trick hidden. If after the majority party is eliminated, the Russian workers who participated in the work-for-relief program will be in our hands and we want them to die."
, they will never survive!”
Zhang Tinglan smiled and nodded. This was indeed a series of killing moves, with the purpose of solving the potential dangers in the Far East once and for all. After Zhang Tingshu figured out the entire plan, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Brother, your method is too clever. When a hunter wants to kill an animal, he always throws out some bait. This hundred million yuan is a poison-soaked bait!"
Zhang Tinglan was also quite satisfied with his plan. The Japanese spent about one billion yuan on military expenditures in the Far East, but finally retreated in despair without gaining anything. This is the end of only using brute force.
Regardless of the 100 million yuan spent now, in fact there will not be much loss, and there may even be a profit. After all, the Siberian Railway will be used by the army. It also requires a lot of energy to repair, but it is better to use the Russians to do it!
"Second brother, there is a good mission right now. Are you interested?"
Zhang Tingshu had already become interested and said with a smile: "Brother, if you have anything to do, leave it to my younger brother. As long as it's about tormenting the Russians, I promise to complete the task!"
…
Two countries suddenly appeared in the small Far East. One is the Far Eastern Republic supported by Moscow. Its main control area is centered on Chita, including the Lake Baikal region. The other is the Far Eastern Empire, which is supported by the great powers and China.
The pattern suddenly became subtle.
Originally, the Russians thought that establishing a buffer zone would reduce the risk of direct confrontation and force the great powers to retreat. However, they did not know that China was creating complications behind the scenes, which made their wishful thinking unfulfilled. At the same time, it added new troubles. Moscow also had to ask for help.
Deploy troops and generals in the Far East, accumulate strength, and prepare for war.
It is still a cold winter, and it is very difficult to start a war directly. The front can only be temporarily stabilized. This period of time just gives Sophia the opportunity to implement the New Deal. Taxes have been cut by half. As long as they are willing to work, they can get food subsidies. They have been tortured by the war for two years.
After many years, the Russians finally have some hope again. The new queen may not be bad after all. Finally, some people are beginning to accept the New Deal.
Along the Trans-Siberian Railway, a large number of working people finally appeared. White Russian soldiers were responsible for guarding them. At the end of each day's work, they were given bread and a little money. At first, the Russians did not expect such a good thing.
But after half a month, they finally began to believe that there were more and more workers on the railway line.
In a small town along the railway, several Russians sat together and said to a young man with only one eye left: "I absolutely do not believe that the Tsar's daughter will become kind. This is absolutely true."
It’s a conspiracy, they want to deceive the people away from us, and we must not let their conspiracy succeed!”
"Comrade Ivan, I agree with you. I suggest that we send people to infiltrate these workers, find out what the imperialist lackeys want to do, and look for opportunities to attack the railway lines. In short, we cannot let them continue comfortably.
"
While he was talking, a young woman suddenly walked in and said in a panic: "Comrade Ivan, I just received information that two peripheral members of the guerrillas have sneaked away and are working as workers on the railway."
"Assholes, do they still have discipline in their eyes? Chase them back immediately." The leader Ivan turned twice on the ground and then said: "No, we must strengthen discipline and make all team members be more vigilant and not be fooled by imperialism."
Molecules took advantage.”
While they were talking, there was suddenly a loud noise outside, and several team members all ran into the conference room.
"Comrade Ivan, something bad has happened. Another troop is coming here quickly."
An angry flame appeared in Ivan's one eye, and he hurriedly said: "This place has been exposed, retreat immediately!"
A total of more than twenty guerrillas left the small courtyard and hurriedly ran out. At this moment, a burst of intensive gunfire suddenly came from the front. Three people were killed on the spot. Gunfire was also heard from several other sides.
, Ivan could only take his men and flee back to the original small courtyard.
Just when they didn't know where to go, two mortar shells fell in, and the main building was blown down. Five or six Russians fell in a pool of blood, and two others who were still alive were screaming in pain.
The howling sound. Ivan and other leaders are also helpless. They will soon turn into corpses, and they will no longer be able to sympathize with others.
Soon, several more artillery shells hit, and then more soldiers rushed in. Most of the twenty-odd guerrillas were dead. Only the one-eyed Ivan was still alive. His eyes were full of poison, and he was dead.
Staring at the soldiers rushing in.
These people all had yellow skin and dark eyes, and they were definitely not Russians at first glance. Finally, a young man walked in with a sneer on his lips. It was Zhang Tingshu.
"Cut off this guy's head and give it to Her Majesty the Queen as a gift!"
The soldiers rushed over and chopped off Ivan's head. Although Ivan was young, he was indeed a well-known member of the majority party. He had participated in many missions to attack the Japanese army and was a veteran of guerrilla warfare. However, he did not expect that he would be killed.
Fell into the hands of Fengjun.
If the relationship between the guerrillas and the common people is like fish and water, then the railway construction project is a huge reservoir, sucking away the water from the Far East, and the guerrillas are immediately exposed.
In just one month, Fengjun destroyed hundreds of guerrilla strongholds and eliminated more than 2,000 core members of the guerrillas. The majority party's intelligence organization in the Far East was also uncovered. Fengjun's operation achieved an initial victory.
.
In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, Fengjun repeatedly claimed that only the culprits would be punished. However, with the destruction of the majority party, all Russians involved could no longer escape. A large-scale liquidation operation was launched, and thousands of suspected elements were arrested.
They were arrested, and more than a few hundred people were executed every day. They were shot, stabbed, or killed in any way. The blood of the Russians suddenly dyed the land of the Far East red. (To be continued...)
