    A new legion was established, and young people like Zhukov naturally became a member of the legion. However, unlike other reform-through-labor prisoners who were excited and full of belief in revenge, although Zhukov appeared to be no different from ordinary people on the surface, in fact he quietly  He hid himself, pretended to be like an ordinary person, and became a recruit.

    After the establishment of the new corps, the commanders of the corps and officers at all levels were dispatched by the Far East government. As an ally, China supported a group of middle- and lower-level officers to serve as the officer corps advisors of the new corps to assist in training and commanding these "rookies."  As the war continued, the Chinese Communist Regiment, which was making great progress, gradually became insufficient in strength due to the continuous lengthening of the front line.  After all, Russia is a large country with a vast territory, with a land area no less than that of China. On such a huge battlefield, the combat troops of the Chinese Communist Regiment plus auxiliary troops, logistics troops, etc., the total number of participants has exceeded  1 million people were obtained, but 1 million people spread over the vast Russia is nothing, not to mention that troops must be stationed in each occupied area for defense to ensure the absolute safety of transportation lines.

    Fang Zida has considered this before the war started. If we just advance blindly and ignore the issues of soldiers and occupied areas, China will fall into a situation of winning first and losing later.  History tells Fang Zida that when facing a big country like Russia, under the premise of advanced weapons and powerful troops, sufficient manpower must be available to ensure the stability of logistics and occupied areas in order to win the final victory.

    In the Soviet-German battlefield of World War II in history, the Soviets used this to defeat the German elites sweeping across Europe, and dragged the war in their favor.  Also in the Chinese battlefield of World War II.  The Chinese *** team exchanged space for time, making the Anti-Japanese War final victory.  Fang Zida must pay attention to these lessons learned from the past, so when the war reaches a certain stage, it is absolutely impossible for the squadron to complete the entire war alone.

    ? ?Fortunately.  Compared with Germany during World War II, China now has a reliable ally, and that is the orthodox government of the Russian Empire.  Russia is an extremely xenophobic country. As an East Asian yellow race, it is absolutely impossible for China to dominate the Russians and become their master.  Today is no longer the time when the Mongolian army is invincible. Once the Chinese assume a posture of annexing Russia, let alone the Russians not agreeing, even the whole world will not sit idly by and ignore it. By then, China has just revived  They will be dragged down by this war every life.

    ??Bringing the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, that is, the Far East government to the forefront.  This was Fang Zida's strategy before he attacked the Soviet Union.  So after the Chinese team won Krasnoyarsk.  The Chinese government took the initiative to request the Far East government to "recover" the lost territory as soon as possible with representatives of Russian orthodoxy.  Take over cities.  And use a large number of released labor reform prisoners, Red Army prisoners, etc. to form new legions to strengthen the military strength of the Far East government and complete Russia's rejuvenation.

    This gesture of goodwill by the Chinese won applause from the Far East government.  Government officials who had previously complained about China's delay in declaring war with the Soviet Union now turned around and cheerfully sang praises for China's allies.  For the same reason, some of the "new yellow peril" rhetoric that existed in the world against China's successive victories on the battlefields of Soviet Russia disappeared. The League of Nations, which was just established, even praised China for this.  The government's attitude shows that the Chinese government is just in this war, loves peace and maintains world order.

    With the addition of the Far East Government, the areas occupied by the Chinese Communist Regiment were handed over to officials of the Far East Government one by one, which also reduced its pressure on the use of troops and logistics.  Of course, in various regions, China continues to send its own troops to defend some transportation hubs and important strategic areas. The Far East government has not raised any objections to this point.  After all, whether this war can revive Russia depends on the help of the Chinese. It is natural for the Chinese to make such arrangements in order to ensure their absolute advantage on the battlefield.

    After a short rest, the total strength of the Russian Empire's orthodox government exceeded 1 million, and this number continued to increase with the conquest of the Soviet Union.  The government forces of the Far East Government are now divided into three parts. The first part is of course the regular army of the Far East Government, that is, the Siberian troops whose main force is commanded by His Excellency the Baron, and includes the Guards Corps that guards the Far East. These troops are about 550,000 people.  The second part is composed of the Trotskyist surrender troops, which is the legion known as the "Liberation Army". After being consumed by the troops of the Frunze Front, it now has about 350,000 people. Although the number is much reduced than before, it can be  Its training and equipment are different from those of the past, and its combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreasing. It has become a powerful army second only to the directly governed government forces.

    As for the third part, they are the released labor reform prisoners and the new legion selected from the captured Red Army. This legion now only has more than 100,000 people, and in terms of soldier training, they are far inferior to the government army and the People's Liberation Army, and their equipment is also poor.  Slightly worseMost of them used conventional weapons seized from the Soviet Red Army.  But in terms of morale, the morale of this new regiment was extremely high. When the training just started, a large number of soldiers strongly demanded to go to the front to fight the Soviets. The main reason was of course the feelings of the released labor reform prisoners against the Soviets.  Full of hatred and desire for revenge.  In addition, the number of this force continues to increase over time, because every time the Chinese Communist Regiment and the Far East government troops advance to regain lost ground, each labor camp is rescued and at the same time brings a large number of reliable soldiers to the Far East government.  .

    After Zhukov came out of the resettlement center, he was incorporated into the infantry corps as an ordinary soldier. After a few days of training, although Zhukov tried hard to hide the fact that he had been a Red Army officer, compared with ordinary people, he was better in the military academy and the army.  The training he received still brought him a lot of "trouble".  Zhukov, who wanted to be confused among the general crowd and kept a low profile, quickly "stood out".  After all, the "comrades" around him were almost all citizens, farmers and students who had never held a gun. Compared with them, some "shining points" caused by conditioned reflexes were discovered by the instructor. In order to boost morale and speed up training,  Zhukov, who went by the pseudonym "Chekov", was first appointed squad leader, and then promoted to platoon leader. After more than ten days of training, Zhukov, who performed well, was directly promoted to the position of company commander.

    This result made Zhukov dumbfounded. Wearing the uniform of a Tsarist Russian officer, Zhukov was helpless.  He knew that if he refused the superior's kindness, he would definitely arouse the suspicion of his superiors. If the details were revealed, not to mention that his previous plan would be ruined, he might even be killed.  In this case, he could only continue to hide and serve as the company commander peacefully.  But after becoming the company commander, his actions were not as free as before, and he didn't know when he would find the opportunity to run back to Moscow.

    "Gather! Gather!"

    On this day, the regular training of the troops was coming to an end. Suddenly, a car drove into the camp. Several Russian and Chinese military officers got out of the car and entered the headquarters. Soon, Major General Ivanovich, the division commander  He walked out accompanied by the advisors of the Chinese government team.

    "Warriors of Russia! People of Her Majesty the Queen! The day you have dreamed of has finally arrived!"

    After the troops gathered, the division commander Ivanovich shouted with a loudspeaker in his hand. With his face glowing red, he held a fist in his left hand and waved it in the air, looking extremely excited.

    From what he said, we learned that the Soviet Frunze Front was already in trouble due to the sudden advance of the Chinese allies and the fierce pursuit of the government troops.  The Chinese Northwest Army has already reached the Ufa area, and the Mongolian front army has also approached Serov and is engaging in firefights with several support troops dispatched by Moscow from various places. According to the battle situation, the strategic plan to completely cut off Surgut's traffic is just around the corner.  In addition, the government troops commanded by His Excellency the Baron entangled nearly half of Frunze's troops. The Frunze Army that retreated to Surgut could no longer care about the remaining half of the troops that had not yet withdrawn, and continued to retreat hastily towards Serov.  A major battle to completely eliminate the Frunze Front is about to begin. At this time, the newly formed Russian Legion will go to the front line and join hands with the Chinese allies to win victory.

    "Ula! Ula!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of cheers rang out in the camp, and everyone couldn't restrain their excitement, shouting and jumping.  Zhukov took the lead in cheering a few times against his will, but his heart felt as cold as a big stone sinking to the bottom of the water.

    Zhukov knew very well that the Frunze Front was the most powerful main force in the Soviet Union.  Once this force is eliminated by the Chinese and puppet government forces, Moscow's vitality will be seriously damaged.  In addition, if the reinforcements in the Serov area are correct, they should be reinforcements transferred from Belarus and Ukraine to the Krasnoyarsk area.  These three effective forces are valuable assets of the Soviet Union, especially experienced commanders like Frunze, who cannot afford to lose them.

    With the mind of an excellent staff officer, it was not difficult for Zhukov to judge from Ivanovich¡¯s words that the Chinese and the puppet government planned to eat the Frunze Front and Moscow¡¯s reinforcements in one go.  Once these troops are eliminated, the road leading to Moscow will be like a no-man's land. Even if Moscow organizes new troops to resist, it will not be able to compete with the enemy.

    "Sir! We can finally go to the front line! Great! I really want to blow the heads of those Bolsheviks with my rifle. Hey, sir, why don't you seem unhappy?" A platoon leader under Zhukov said happily.  With a thoughtful look on his face, Zhukov couldn't help but ask another strange question.

    "Ah! How could you not be happy? Like you, I have been dreaming about the heads of these Bolsheviks for a long time." Zhukov quickly changed his smile and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about how to kill more enemies. After all, we  This is my first time on the battlefield. Some battle plans must be considered well, otherwise the enemy will not be killed, brother.Instead, they suffered casualties in vain.  "

    The platoon leader was in awe when he heard this, and sighed with great admiration: "You are right, sir. It is an honor for me to be under your command. Please rest assured that when the time comes when you command us to fight, we people will never let you  Disappointed!"
