Chapter 1234 South Russian Theater (Part 2) Ji Yulin is very aware of the contradiction between Beria and Malenkov, and this contradiction is irresolvable, just like the contradiction between Stalin and Trotsky, the only solution is to be a competitor. Only by "disappearing" forever will the victors be completely relieved and enjoy the fruits of victory, and this fruit of victory is to lead the Soviet Union. (Niu Wen Novel ~ Read Novel Online) To be honest, General Ji Yulin does not care about who leads the Soviet Union. The only thing he cares about is whether the internal fighting between Beria and Malenkov will affect the development of military operations. After all, , now the Soviet Red Army led by Beria is fighting in the north of the South Russian Theater, while the Soviet Red Guards led by Malenkov are cooperating with the Asian Alliance Alliance in the Caucasus Campaign. At this time, the struggle between Beria and Malenkov does not seem so It's timely. Now, the alliance between Beria and Malenkov must be maintained. At least until Germany is defeated, the two cannot break. As for whether the two will stage a red civil war in the Soviet Union after defeating Germany, that is not a question that Ji Yulin can consider. . The reason why Malenkov sent a messenger to convey Beria¡¯s conspiracy to Ji Yulin was that he wanted to convey the news to the top officials of the Asian League through Ji Yulin, and have the top officials of the Asian League come forward to stop Beria¡¯s reckless actions. Regardless of whether it is true that Beria wanted to organize assassins to assassinate Malenkov, as long as Ji Yulin obtained this information, he had the responsibility to report it to his superiors, and he also believed that the representative of the Malenkov government to the Asian League must have reported it to the Asian League. Looking at this news this way, we cannot rule out the suspicion that the Malenkov Group fabricated facts in order to discredit political opponents. Ji Yulin is the commander-in-chief of the South Russian Army. Although he cannot directly command Beria or Malenkov, he can directly contact the senior figures of the Asian League, and this "senior figure of the Asian League" is none other than Chinese President Zhao Bei. "Lieutenant Colonel Vasily, please tell Commander Malenkov that I will report this information to my superiors as soon as possible. I believe that Marshal Beria may follow the advice of the top leaders of the Asian League. After all, now is not the time for internal fighting. And we are also opposed to all forms of sabotage. If Commander Malenkov is assassinated, we will never give up and will definitely pursue it to the end. " Ji Yulin stood up and patted Lieutenant Colonel Paivasili on the shoulder, giving him a slap. Promise, but his last few words sounded a bit unpleasant to Vasily, so he decided to once again deepen the Chinese general's impression of Commander Malenkov. "Thank you General, Comrade Malenkov for enjoying high prestige in the Soviet Red Guards. Any harm to him is harm to the Soviet Red Guards. If anything happens to Comrade Malenkov, I think our united front may "I understand, Lieutenant Colonel Vasily, you have completed your liaison mission very well. Please send me my message." Give your greetings to Commander Malenkov. By the way, you can eat in the cafeteria or rest for a few hours before leaving. " Ji Yulin didn't want to hear these words of praise for Malenkov, so he interrupted Vasily at the right time. , called an adjutant, asked him to take Lieutenant Colonel Vasily down to have a rest and have a meal, and ordered the airport to carry out necessary maintenance and repairs for the Lieutenant Colonel's reconnaissance plane. The Caucasus region is still under the control of the German and Italian troops. , Vasily cannot fly directly over the dangerous Caucasus route. He can only fly across the Caspian Sea. This is a long journey, and the aircraft must be in optimal condition. After Vasily left, Ji Yulin continued to read the battle analysis report. Before he could finish reading it, someone came to visit him again. It was Zhang Xiaozhun, Chief of Staff of the South Russian Army. He had just returned from the front line and was exhausted. It had been two days and one night. He didn't sleep anymore. The Astrakhan battle was actually commanded by him. Ji Yulin just sat in the rear and coordinated the command. After all, the South Russian Army's combat area was quite vast, and Astrakhan was only one of its main attack directions. After sitting down, Zhang Xiaozhun drank the pot of tea in one breath, then wiped his mouth and told Ji Yulin the latest situation. "This morning, the German army launched a small-scale counterattack in the upper reaches of the Volga River. It was blocked by the frontline troops. During the battle, our troops destroyed a 'Free Russian Army' command post and seized a batch of documents. , after translating, I browsed through it first and found that some of these documents were about the current situation in Stalingrad. From the documents, it appeared that the German army dispatched a group of servant troops from Romania and Bulgaria and rushed to Stalingrad day and night. Le, in my opinion, the German army is preparing to carry out a large-scale concentration in the Stalingrad area. The size of its troops seems to have exceeded what is needed for defense. I think this may mean that the German army not only wants to defend Stalingrad, but also wants to defend it very soon. There may also be companies launching a large-scale counterattack.??, we must be prepared for this. I suggest temporarily slowing down the advance of the troops, defending in place, waiting for follow-up troop reinforcements, and then taking the offensive after sufficient strength. " "You need to ask the General Staff for instructions. I will send a telegram immediately. " Ji Yulin nodded. He knew that the "Free Russian Army" was a puppet force composed of Russians. They assisted the German army in fighting and were responsible for searching for guerrillas and Jews in the Caucasus. Most of the members of this German puppet force were Some extremists, many of whom are prisoners, are cruel in their methods and fierce in fighting. They are a powerful enemy. However, in the Battle of Astrakhan, this puppet force suffered a fatal blow from the Chinese Communist Party and the Asian Alliance forces. It basically existed in name only, but because this unit fought fiercely and was highly regarded by its German masters, very valuable documents were often found in the headquarters of this unit. Ji Yulin called a staff officer and gave a few instructions, and the staff member hurriedly said. After leaving, when Ji Yulin turned around and looked over, he found that Zhang Xiaozhun was already sleeping on the camp bed. Ji Yulin smiled faintly and continued to sit at the desk and read through the documents after studying all the reports from the staff department. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Ji Yulin walked out of the tent and walked around the library where the headquarters was located. He watched his subordinates paint the walls to relax his tense nerves. He returned to the tent half an hour later. At this time, Zhang Xiaozhun has woken up and is sitting next to the camp bed, holding a telegram in his hand, which he just received. The person who sent the telegram is Zhou Daogang, the commander-in-chief of the Caucasus Group Army of the Asian Alliance Allied Forces. Take a look at the telegram that came over. " Ji Yulin took the telegram handed over by Zhang Xiaozhun and glanced at it. The content of the telegram was not complicated. It just informed Ji Yulin of two things: First, the battle of Baku has officially started, and the Asian Alliance forces are outflanking Baku's back road from the northwest. In order to reduce the military pressure on the Caucasus Group Army, Zhou Daogang hoped that the South Russian Army Group would launch a southward offensive in advance to attract the attention of the German army; secondly, the paratroopers and mountain troops in the Middle East Group Army's combat sequence had begun to reinforce the territory of Turkey from the Syrian border to secure The Battle of Natolia has entered a critical stage. The content of this telegram was reported once by the General Staff at noon, but it was not as detailed as this telegram. ¡°It seems that the Turkish battlefield is progressing smoothly, and we will be ahead of schedule. End of the Anatolian campaign, just wonder if the Turkish government will move the capital from Ankara? " Ji Yulin put the telegram on the table, turned around and stared at the hanging military map, and found Anatolia, which is a plateau area in Turkey, right in the middle of the Asia Minor Peninsula, the entire western part of Turkey's Asian territory. The region is basically under the control of this plateau. The occupation of Anatolia means that Turkey's situation is over. The Asian League will soon control the entire Asia Minor region. And subsequently, the Asian League can also rely on the Asia Minor Peninsula as a springboard to attack the southeast. It is much easier to carry out landing operations in Europe from Asia Minor than from Greece. The width of the Bosporus and Dardanelles is almost negligible in the face of modern military equipment, and landings are not even required. The ship only needs to set up a number of pontoon bridges on the strait, and then China's heavy equipment group can roll forward and set foot on the land of Southeast Europe. When formulating the combat plan, most staff members believed that if Anatoly. If the Asian campaign is completed as scheduled, the Turkish government will almost certainly move its capital from Ankara. The city most likely to become the wartime capital of the Turkish government is obviously Istanbul across the Bosporus, which used to be the capital of the Ottoman Empire. The capital, for hundreds of years, was the base of the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe and the most important economic center of the entire empire, and even now, as all staff expected, Turkey is the economic center of the entire empire. The weakest core member among the Axis members, when the Caucasus Army and the Middle East Army of the Asian Alliance launched a pincer offensive deep into the Turkish territory, the once arrogant Turkish army was quickly defeated. Not only did they lose their strategic town Van, Diyarbak?r, Adana, Malatya, and even retreated to the Anatolia region in one fell swoop. At present, the front line has advanced to Yozgat and Kshehir, not far from the capital Ankara. The situation is already quite critical for the Turkish government, and moving the capital is no longer a suggestion, but a realistic need. ¡°It is very possible for the Turkish government to move the capital. Judging from the air force reconnaissance report, the Turkish army is currently moving. The roads and railways in the eastern region were systematically destroyed to delay the advance of our army. Moreover, the Bulgarian army also began to increase its troops and heavy equipment to the Turkish border, and the German and Italian troops stationed in Greece also began to gather towards the Turkish border. There are signs that the Axis powersThe regiment will use heavy troops to protect Istanbul. Under this situation, the Turkish government will definitely move the capital. " Zhang Xiaozhun stood in front of the map and analyzed it. Ji Yulin basically agreed with this statement. "In this way, the landing in Southeast Europe is not far away. "Ji Yulin said. Zhang Xiaozhun hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The central government has not yet issued a plan to land in Southeast Europe. I wonder if Chief Lan and the others have confidence in their hearts? I think that if we land from two straits, the navy basically does not need to consider it. The air force and artillery are enough to ensure the smooth landing. In this case, the Suez battlefield will only continue to be on the defensive. Our ships cannot enter anyway. In the Mediterranean, German and Italian ships could not enter the Red Sea, so they had to fight with the air force and the army. " " Suez? The center there is just dealing with the United States. When it turns from defense to offense, it depends on when the U.S. Allied Forces and British Allied Forces take over Sudan. With the Mediterranean as a supply channel, the German and Italian Afrika Korps were a tough nut to crack, enough for the United States and Britain to chew on for a while. When they chewed their teeth, the Asian League went down to Egypt to pick peaches. " Ji Yulin smiled. He very much agreed with the central arrangement. It not only consumed the strength of Germany and Italy, but also delayed the offensive pace of the British and American allies. However, since China is engaged in a fierce tug-of-war with Germany in Southern Russia and the Caucasus. war, then the United States really has nothing to say about the defensive posture of the Japanese troops in the Suez and Egyptian battlefields. After all, the Asian League led by China has indeed reduced the frontal military pressure on the Allied forces in the African battlefield, and the rest It depends on the combat effectiveness of the British and American Allied Forces.
