Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qi Yiming's eyes have never left Russia's civil war.  After a month, the two sides were still fighting fiercely. The advantage of Markashev's side was gradually eroded because Yeltsin, who was afraid of being expelled, continued to increase his power.  The two sides fought fiercely on the two battlefields of the Oka River Basin and the Volga River Basin. Yeltsin even sent elite troops such as the Taman Division to the battlefield to stop Makashev's footsteps.

    During this period, Makashev also did a major thing, which was to declare the Russian Federation led by Yeltsin as illegitimate. Yeltsin was a lackey and puppet of Western capitalist countries, and called on the Russian people to recognize his true face.  Makashev even raised the new banner of the Soviet Russian Socialist Republic, and considered himself the first chairman of Soviet Russia and the general secretary of the CCCP. It seemed that he was determined to restore the Soviet system.

    Not only that, he also claimed that Siberia, the Far East, and even Kazakhstan and other countries should reunite to form the Soviet Union and regain the style and strength of the Soviet superpower.  Naturally, no one will pay attention to his crazy words, especially when the big boss behind the scenes in Siberia, the Far East and other countries is Comrade Qi Yiming.

    As a result, two "justified" countries and their armies appeared on the Russian battlefield. Yeltsin's army is generally called the "Federal Army", and Makashev's army is called the "Soviet Russian Army."  The symbol of the Federal Army is a red star with a white border, while the symbol of the Soviet Army is a red star with a hammer and sickle bordered with gold.

    In order to win the war, Yeltsin had to use some relatively young, low-ranking but very capable generals. These generals were favored by Yeltsin and worked very hard to fight for Yeltsin.  In order to boost the morale of the federal Russian army, Yeltsin even formulated a policy of diverting all supplies to the Russian army. Not only were the arrears of wages paid, but a large amount of in-demand supplies were distributed to the Russian army on the battlefield.  These policies have made significant improvements in the Russian army's performance in battle, especially the embarrassing situation of being defeated in one blow.

    In response to some grassroots commanders making unauthorized decisions that were not in line with the orders of their superiors, some typical examples of those who missed the opportunity or even refused to listen to orders were caught, shot directly on the battlefield and criticized by the entire army. At the same time, officers who could withstand tough battles were punished after the battle.  He would be promoted immediately, which also calmed the hearts of some panicked Russian officers and soldiers.

    In short, Yeltsin's multi-pronged approach did not bring about earth-shaking changes to the Federal Russian Army, but it also reversed a certain decline, so that after the defeat of Saratov, the Federal Russian Army and the Soviet Russian Army were already victorious against each other.  The two sides entered a phase of relative stalemate.  In terms of military strength, Yeltsin had 600,000 federal Russian troops in three major military districts. Although Markashev only had one military district, he had 400,000 Soviet Russian troops. Although Markashev was weaker, Yeltsin did not dare to take it lightly.  .

    After the Battle of Saratov, the two armies had more or less small-scale confrontations, mostly on the border of the actual control area, and the scale rarely exceeded the regiment level.  The Soviet Russian army originally wanted to pursue the victory, but one of their mechanized infantry divisions was blindly advancing towards Moscow at high speed on land. The retreat and supplies were cut off by the Federal Russian army. In the end, they had to surrender after a hard battle.

    Makashev also saw from then on that the Federal Russian Army was not as vulnerable as he imagined, so he became more cautious in fighting.  On paper, the Soviet Russian army is slightly weaker, but the Federal Russian army does not only have to face the "rebels" of the Makashev family.

    Yeltsin went all out to deal with the more threatening Makashev, leaving the former clown Dudayev and his Chechen Republic with nothing to do.  After Makashev and Yankov made that shocking deal, Siberia's supply of weapons to the Chechen Republic stopped.  But even so, Dudayev's Chechen National Guard is already quite impressive.

    Chechnya has established four fully equipped mechanized infantry brigades, four infantry brigades mainly composed of light infantry, as well as guerrilla groups of all sizes across the country and a militia organization of more than 100,000 people.  Chechnya even has its own air force, equipped with more than 40 fighter jets and some other military aircraft.

    Dudayev is confident that if the Russian army comes to trouble Chechnya again, he will drag the Russians into the "ocean of people's war."

    Since the Caspian Sea weapons supply line has been abandoned, Dagestan's importance has weakened, and recently some local Avars have been continuously attacking the Chechen army stationed in Dagestan, which has made Dudayev very annoyed.  bother.  He wants to annex Dagestan, but Dagestan is larger than Chechnya and has a larger population than Chechnya. If a war really breaks out, it may cause heavy losses to Chechnya.  Dudayev clearly realized that his main enemies were the Russians, not the Alvars, so Dudayev took the initiative to contact the Dagestan regime.

    What Dudayev didn¡¯t know was that the Dagestan regime had actually been infiltrated by Qi Yiming, and the guerrillas that constantly attacked the Chechen army were actually mainly carried out by red alert soldiers sent by Qi Yiming.  Dudayev held a meeting with Dagestan and agreed that Chechnya could withdraw from Dagestan, but the prerequisite was that Dagestan must declare the same as Chechnya.Established, and reached a military alliance agreement with Chechnya to jointly fight against the Russian Federation.

    Qi Yiming has actually had such a plan for a long time. Not only in Dagestan, but also in Kabardino-Balkar Republic, Karachay-Cherkessia Republic, North Ossetia Republic and other countries, Qi Yiming has sent  He recruited red police spies and armed forces, and absorbed some local extremist armed forces, slowly forming political forces that could influence the situation.

    The North Caucasus region is already in turmoil, with conflicts everywhere.  In addition to the fight between Chechnya and Russia, South Ossetia is actually not peaceful either.  When Georgia began to choose independence from the Soviet Union in 19UU, the local government and parliament of South Ossetia showed an unsupportive attitude. After Georgia became independent, South Ossetia showed "separatism" that it wanted to follow the central government.  .  In order to curb this separatist sentiment, Georgia sent a large number of military and police to suppress it. Conflicts broke out between the military and local people, resulting in a large number of casualties.

    At the end of 1991, the conflict between Georgia and South Ossetia gradually expanded, resulting in the death of about 106 people. One hundred thousand South Ossetians fled their homes, most of whom entered North Ossetia.  In January 2019, South Ossetia held a referendum. The results of the referendum showed that the vast majority of South Ossetian residents supported independence.

    In February, Gabrov, the leader of the "Holy Ossetian League", an armed faction in North Ossetia controlled by Qi Yiming, raided the local regime that had transitioned from the Soviet era and declared independence.  Not only that, Gabrov also declared that he is committed to building a unified Ossetian country. The tragedy that happened in South Ossetia made him sleepless and extremely indignant. The compatriots in North Ossetia will do everything possible to help South Ossetia.  Ossetia defeats the "invaders".

    Gabrov¡¯s declaration also attracted support from some South Ossetians, and his armed forces grew at an alarming rate.  When the two Russias were at war and had no time to look south, Gabrov led the Holy Ossetian Alliance back across the Caucasus Mountains, headed south to South Ossetia, raided the important town of Tskhinvali, and killed hundreds of Georgian military and policemen, officially starting the war.  Ossetian Unification War.

    The entire Caucasus region is like a curse. Chechnya is independent, Dagestan is independent, North and South Ossetia are also independent, and even in the Republic of Ingushetia, conflicts between independent elements and the government that does not want independence continue to break out.  Even more bizarrely, there is an inexplicable merger trend in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic and the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic. Some people are calling for the merger of the two republics into one republic.  Their reason is that the Kabardians, Balkars, Karachay and Circassians are all similar Sunni Muslims in religion, speak Caucasian and Turkic languages, and have relatively similar living habits.  They are similar and have a long historical origin. For better survival and development, they should be merged into a Kabakace Republic

    Such an unreliable idea was of course thought up by the great designer Comrade Qi Yiming. Although it seems ridiculous, it did get the support of several local ethnic groups after it was really proposed.  Everyone has seen how Russia is now a prodigal, and it is hard to say who will make the decision in Russia in the future, but what is certain is that the Russians will never have any good intentions towards these ethnic minorities in the North Caucasus. They will either assimilate or let them  They were displaced, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to establish a new country.

    It¡¯s not just the union republics that are still part of the Russian Federation. The several countries that have become independent also have their own difficult experiences.  Georgia has three regions with separatist tendencies: South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Adjara; the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the two enclaves of Nakhichivan and Nagorno-Karabakh, also seems to be threatening  Signs of the development of a force-based solution route.

    Suddenly, the north and south of the Caucasus seemed to have become one of the most turbulent regions in the world.  The culprit Qi Yiming is very satisfied with his achievements. The Caucasus region itself is divided into various ethnic groups, and they even have different religious beliefs. There are so many discords in history that almost a spark can ignite them.  He does not want to mess up everything here, but messing up the Caucasus at this time is also an act to cause trouble for Russia.

    The areas inhabited by Russian ethnic minorities are not limited to the North Caucasus. In the middle reaches of the Volga River, there are also Tatars, Chuvash, Mariel, Bashkirs, Mordovia, Udmurts and other countries with separatist tendencies.  Republic, the main difference between these areas and the North Caucasus is that although there are a large number of ethnic minorities here, the majority are Russians.

    Another important factor that prevents these regions from becoming independent is that they are basically under the control of Makashev, and Makashev is a nationalist and it is impossible for him to separate these regions from Russia.
