Although the referendum held by the Altai Republic is not allowed by Russian law in some aspects, President Medev still turned a blind eye because he believed that the majority of the people would not Those who are beguiled by childish slogans such as "Utopia" will definitely fall to the side of the Russian government as to the result of the referendum.
However, when the results of the referendum in the Altai Republic came out, it surprised the Russian president and even the government!
In other words, no one in the Altai Republic wants to obey the government's orders. In their minds, Altai's ongoing reforms and the dream of a utopia are the most important.
Just the day after the results of the referendum came out, the Altai Republic resolutely rejected the Russian government's request. They would not stop the ongoing reforms, and they did not want to merge the Altai Republic into the Altai Territory
This result made President Megeve dizzy.
In his head, the shadow of Chechnya faintly emerged. If another territory of Russia is split off during his tenure as president, then his face as president will be completely lost, and he will be nailed down in history. On the pillar of shame!
It doesn¡¯t work like this!
President Megeve quickly woke up from his confusion. He must never let such a thing happen. He must take the strongest means, even the most extreme means! !
On the other hand, Xue Yimeng and others who live in Nadezhda also know the results of the referendum. Although Xue Yimeng and the people around him did not participate in the referendum, there is no doubt that Nadezhda and even the entire Altai The public opinion of the Republic is on his side.
"That's great! A Meng!"
Hu Jia said happily that when Xue Yimeng said that matters in Altai should be decided by the residents of Altai, she was still a little worried, worried that the result of the referendum would fall to the side of the Russian government. In that case, all Xue Yimeng's efforts here will be in vain, and Xue Yimeng and the people around him will once again live a homeless life.
Although Hu Jia also knew that the result of the referendum would be gratifying, he did not expect it. He was so completely left alone. In the entire Altai Republic, there is not even a single person who supports the Russian government!
"However. The result this time will probably anger President Megeve!"
Because the matter was so urgent, Mr. Abu stayed in Nadezhda during the referendum period and continued to stay here after the results came out.
Although a referendum is a democratic method, democracy in one place may not be "democracy" for the entire country. Although the current development trend of the Altai Republic is good, this place is too small after all. Compared with the huge Russian state machine, it is simply a child's play.
"What will happen to us if Russia uses force?"
Mr. Abu spit out this sentence helplessly. This is also the biggest hidden danger of the Altai Republic at present.
??Actually from the beginning. Xue Yimeng wants to build an "ideal country", which is a road of no return. Throughout the ages, those who established the country have not climbed up by stepping on mountains of corpses.
But it was the plan calculated by Xue Yimeng. But he did not take the armed struggle into consideration. In an almost hypnotic manner, he made the entire Altai Republic accept his utopia plan.
Although everyone thinks that Xue Yimeng should form an army, in fact, there is not a single soldier under Xue Yimeng. This is somewhat different from the revolutionary method in everyone's impression.
In Xue Yimeng¡¯s plan, the Altai Republic can evolve peacefully and become an ideal country without spending a single soldier. For now, every step of the plan is going very smoothly.
¡°However, President Megeve¡¯s reaction exceeded my expectations.¡±
Because he underestimated the reaction of President Medev and Russian officials, or Xue Yimeng did not expect that President Mike would interfere in Russia's internal affairs in the form of private phone calls, there was a slight discrepancy between Xue Yimeng's plan and reality.
The conduct of the referendum was earlier than planned. Because the referendum was brought forward, Xue Yimeng had to face the next difficult situation in advance
"Brother, is there any other way? I think, this time, we can't do it without fighting!"
Zhao Long was actively encouraging on the side. Judging from the current situation, if Russia uses force, the Altai Republic will not have any chance of winning, because there is not even a capable army here.Yes, how can it fight against the Russian regular army?
"Come and recruit troops, let all Altai people join the army, let us take up arms to resist tyranny, if we win, the plan of the Utopia will be realized!"
Among all the people, Zhao Long is the most violent one. After leaving his homeland, Zhao Long has been thinking about doing something big in Nadezhda and even the Altai Republic, because besides money and There is nothing but hard work.
Faced with Brother Zhao Long¡¯s suggestion, Xue Yimeng shook his head.
"Brother Zhao Long, I know what you mean, but now, it is not the time for us to use force against the whole of Russia. Once we follow suit, the money spent on building Altai must be invested in armaments. In this case , the construction of the utopia will lag behind."
Xue Yimeng explained his reasons, because the construction of the utopia was finally on the right track, and he did not want this good momentum to be interrupted. Once the war broke out, the economy of the entire Altai Republic would regress.
"However, if we don't take the initiative to attack, they will attack us. Then won't our reforms be in vain?"
Fu Yuzhi also said anxiously, she didn't want Xue Yimeng's efforts to be ruined.
Everyone focused their attention on Xue Yimeng, waiting for Xue Yimeng's answer. Xue Yimeng closed his eyes for a while and then opened his eyes. In Xue Yimeng's eyes, he showed an extremely firm look.
"I will not attack others rashly, because I don't want the people in the Utopia to die because of war. I don't like bloodshed and meaningless fights - but. If someone actively provokes us, I will not sit still and wait to die. Yes, at least with Russia¡¯s small military strength, I can still cope with it.¡±
Xue Yimeng spoke confidently. immediately. He informed everyone of his combat ideas
Xue Yimeng and others were afraid that the Russian army would attack and were discussing in a hurry, but President Medev had already begun to actively prepare for war.
The Russian government. While issuing an ultimatum to the Altai Republic, he convened an emergency federal meeting. At the federal meeting, Megeve asked all members of the parliament to express their stance on what strategy to adopt for the Altai Republic.
As expected, the Altai government turned a blind eye to the Russian government¡¯s ultimatum, making the federal meeting one-sided.
Some parliamentarians who originally supported the reform of the Altai Republic gradually believed what President Medev said.
"In Altai, the people are confused. They think that an ideal country can be established, but how can such a country appear? The conspirators hiding in the dark are using the people of Altai as a shield to do what they want. Something shady. We have to save the deluded people and wake them up from their illusions."
Under the tireless instigation of President Medev, the Federal Assembly finally passed the resolution to use force against the Altai Republic with 70% of the votes in favor!
So the next day, Russian President Medev ordered the Siberian Military District to dispatch an infantry division. A tank division with a total of 20,000 men attacks the Altai Republic!
In order to show that he was aboveboard, President Medev also sent a declaration of war to the Altai Republic. The main content was that the people of the Altai Republic were deceived by witchcraft, so the Russian government wanted to send troops to exterminate the evildoers who deceived the people. , as long as kind-hearted people know their way back, they can be saved.
From the day he received the petition, Speaker Tulev invited Xue Yimeng to the city of Gorno-Altaisk, because the current situation is beyond the control of the Altai Republic
"The Siberian Military District sent two divisions to attack, one of which is an infantry division and one is a tank division, with a total of 20,000 people - these are Russia's regular troops. Their combat effectiveness is also very famous in the world. If If it is a temporary army, even 200,000 people will not be their opponent!"
Speaker Tulev's words were very arrogant. You must know that the entire Altai Republic has a population of only more than 200,000. Even if all men, women, old and young are recruited into the army, it will be difficult to fight against such an army. The whole army will be annihilated.
The implication is that Mr. Tulev wanted to ask Xue Yimeng how he could compromise with Russia, but Xue Yimeng was not too anxious at this time.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tulev, at least in my opinion, the current army cannot pose any threat to us for the time being."
?Although what Xue Yimeng said was light, for a moment, he could not provide any evidence that "the enemy posed no threat", so Mr. Tulev did not believe it.
"Mr. Xue Yimeng, please don't joke. This is a major event that affects the entire Altai Republic. I hope you will take it seriously!"
Speaker Tulev seemed a little angry, but Xue Yimeng didn't say much. He just smiled slightly. This smile made Mr. Tulev very dissatisfied. He originally thought that Xue Yimeng would do something.
"In this case, please Mr. Xue Yimeng have a good rest here."
After saying this, Speaker Tulev walked away and stopped talking to Xue Yimeng.
Xue Yimeng, on the other hand, waited silently to the east, because the enemy's infantry division and tank division would attack from this direction.
Because Russia¡¯s geographical territory is so large, it will take some time to mobilize the army.
For example, the Siberian Military District is responsible for the entire vast land of central Russia. From the Siberian Military District, where the military is stationed, to the Altai Republic, although it is the shortest distance, it still takes several days.
Along the way, the soldiers were talking and laughing. Although this was a very serious matter in the eyes of President Megeve, the soldiers all knew that attacking a place as big as a palm with 20,000 troops would be as simple as It's almost like a vacation, not even a drill.
"Colonel, this time, so many of us went to attack a place like Altai. Are we making too much of a fuss?"
A soldier asked his commander, and the colonel did not deny his point of view.
"I think your Excellency the President must let the people of Altai surrender on their own. Otherwise, he will not send so many people to attack there. Moreover, the same reason is why only the motorized infantry division and the tank division are sent. If the air force is sent, If the bombing is carried out, it may cause more casualties, which is not something the President wants to see."
As the colonel said, the reason why President Medev chose the infantry division and the tank division to fight was to avoid casualties as much as possible. His purpose was only to capture the city of Gorno Altaysk, the capital of the Altai Republic, and the city of Altaysk. Nadezhda, where the pharmaceutical factory is located, and then catch the people spreading the rumors so that all Altai people can be rescued.
??As expected by President Megeve. I'm afraid that before the army reaches the Altai Republic, the people of Altai will rush to flee. In that case, will they still worry about not being able to capture the Altai Republic?
In infantry divisions and tank divisions, from division commanders to ordinary soldiers, they all thought that it would be easy to capture the Altai Republic. So during the trip to the Altai Republic, everyone was relaxed and relaxed, and there was no tense atmosphere at all.
Some soldiers who like gambling have already begun to bet that it will only take a few days for the army to completely occupy the Altai Republic. Some people say three days. Some people said it took two days In short, no one thought it was a difficult task.
Seeing that the Altai Republic was approaching, the soldiers began to gear up.
"Colonel Xilu, we will enter the area of ??the Altai Republic in 10 kilometers. Judging from the observations of the forward sentries, the enemy does not seem to have organized troops to attack us."
""
Listening to the commander's report, Colonel Xilu, the commander of the tank division, seemed very calm.
He has been serving in the army since graduating from the military academy. Since there are almost no wars in peacetime, there are very few opportunities for meritorious service. Therefore, there are many fewer opportunities for promotion. He was promoted to the tank division step by step. The position of division commander took a full 20 years.
However, although he has little practical experience, Colonel Xilu has a lot of theoretical knowledge. He firmly believes that once the war breaks out, he can use the theoretical knowledge he has learned to lead his troops to victory!
This time the "Altai War" is an excellent opportunity to show the world its military talents.
Colonel Xilu ordered the troops to continue advancing without giving the Altai Republic any chance to breathe. The 10 kilometers distance was reached in the blink of an eye.
The subordinate reported to Colonel Xilu that the area ahead was the Altai Republic and asked Colonel Xilu to issue an order.
And Colonel Xilu was not ambiguous and directly issued the order to march.
The tank division crossed the border and broke directly into the territory of the Altai Republic. The tank division did not encounter any obstruction, because all the soldiers knew that the other side would not be able to organize a decent resistance, and they could only wait to be killed. Son.
"Always let us be able to hit a shot."?! Otherwise, it would be a bit boring. "
Colonel Xilu thought this way, since we are working hard, let the soldiers have a little fun. If the army marches straight in like this, and in the end, the enemy opens the city and surrenders, what's the point?
At this moment, the tank division suddenly felt that the surrounding fog was filled with fog, and this layer of fog seemed to be heavier than the previous fog. The fog reduced the visibility of the tank
"stop!"
Colonel Xilu immediately issued an order to stop advancing, because if it was ambushed by the enemy in the heavy fog, the entire army would be in chaos.
The tank division listened in an orderly manner. Colonel Xilu looked at the fog filling the sky. Such an environment was not what a soldier wanted to see. Fog has a great impact on war. The impact of a war is Winning or losing often depends on some natural factors.
It wasn¡¯t until the fog completely dissipated that Colonel Xilu gave the order to continue marching.
But soon, he discovered something was wrong
"Stop moving forward!"
Colonel Xilu once again issued an order to stop the march. All the soldiers felt very strange, but Colonel Xilu used his keen sense of smell to detect the strange atmosphere after entering the Altai area.
"Hurry! Count now!"
Colonel Xilu asked all the soldiers to report their numbers. He wanted to confirm one thing.
The soldiers followed the commander's order and counted one by one. At first, they didn't know the reason why Colonel Xilu ordered everyone to count. But when they reached a number, they suddenly realized that something was wrong
