Northern Cluster Command.
"It's really unexpected that I can fulfill my long-cherished wish before retirement, hahaha."
General Zhao Erfeng's face glowed with joy.
Everything he sees now is pleasing to the eye.
He had just finished lunch and was discussing the orders received at noon with senior officers in the headquarters.
According to the service regulations of the Republic, the retirement age at the level of general is 70 years old.
If your health can hold up and the country needs it, you can continue to work, but you will have to work in the second line until you are 75 years old at most.
Zhao Laosan is 73 years old this year.
With the care of modern medicine, he is still in good health, but it is time for him to take a back seat in the year to come.
But he really didn't expect that when he retired, he would still have this opportunity to make great achievements.
Restoring the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, leaping over the green hills and leaving a name in history, this is a temptation that no Chinese general can resist.
Zhao Laosan had done it a long time ago, but with the style of the Qing Dynasty, it is estimated that it will never be realized.
Even if the Maozi is making trouble, the Qing Dynasty will not dare to do anything.
Only after the founding of New China, This wish can be realized.
This time the recovery of Central Asia was mainly based on the Northwest Military Region.
A total of six armies, 28 divisions, 8 infantry divisions, 4 mountain divisions, 5 armored divisions, 5 mechanized infantry divisions, and 6 motorized infantry divisions were dispatched.
There are 14 brigades, 4 mixed brigades, 3 heavy artillery brigades, 2 tank brigades, 2 cavalry brigades, and 3 army aviation brigades, with a total strength of 660,000.
There are also 4 air force divisions responsible for seizing air superiority and ground strikes.
If we add in the eight joint logistics brigades responsible for second-line tasks such as medical care, repairs, and logistics supplies, as well as the garrison and armed police forces behind the scenes to maintain order and security, the total number of officers and soldiers mobilized has reached 800,000.
These forces are divided into three groups.
The Eastern Group's attack targets are Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and eastern Uzbekistan.
These places are mainly on the Pamir Plateau, so they are mainly mountain divisions and light-armed troops.
The Southern Cluster targets Turkmenistan and eastern Uzbekistan.
The target of the northern cluster is Kazakhstan, because their combat areas are basically plains, and these two clusters are mainly mechanized troops.
Once China's armored clusters rush into the Central Asian grasslands, don't feel too sour.
"Hey, our country's two billion is a bit worthless.
With our current strength, we can just attack them directly.
There is no need to spend money."
Zhao Erfeng couldn't help but sigh.
This time he is responsible for commanding the northern cluster with the largest number of troops, which includes the 2nd, 7th and 8th armies and 21 divisions and brigades.
When you are in high spirits, how can you take Maozi seriously?
So he felt so raw when he thought of the 2 billion spent by the central government.
These 2 billion Chinese yuan converted into the official silver of the former Qing Dynasty was 1.44 billion taels, which was equivalent to my annual income in the 78th year of the Qing Dynasty.
Hearing this, political commissar Zhou Ruofu laughed: "Haha, commander, we can't settle the account like this, the money is well spent.
First, we bought our righteousness, which means that we can go there now It's not aggression, it's acceptance.
With the reputation of justice, it will be much easier for us to do things.
You see, isn't it because the people from Belarus are here to lead the way?
Moreover, the international opposition will be smaller.
Much more.
If we don't have such a righteous name and call directly, the foreign powers will have reasons to make irresponsible remarks.
Although we are not afraid of them, those white-skinned devils are our big customers now.
If they attack us If we block trade or reduce trade quotas, our losses will be huge.
Commander, the most important thing in this war is not winning, but whether we can earn enough profits."
"Hahahaha, Bo Fu, to hear you say this, fighting is just like doing business."
Zhao Erfeng laughed while stroking his beard.

Zhou Ruofu smiled and said: "Haha, you are right, this war is just like doing business.
National wars are different from personal fights.
If it is an individual, it is okay to fight because of blood.
The country cannot be like this, You can't fight wars that don't have obvious benefits.
If a country always fights wars that don't have benefits, it's a waste of troops.
No matter how strong the foundation is, it won't be able to protect it.
That's why the ancients said that the emperor should not raise armies when he is angry. ” Zhou Ruozu, courtesy name Bo Fu, is an advanced biochemical human.
Since Zhao Laosan was transferred from Tibet to the commander of the Northwest Military Region, Zhou Ruosan has partnered with him, serving as the political commissar of the Northwest Military Region, and now also serves as the political commissar of the Northern Cluster.
At first, Lao Zhao was very dissatisfied with the establishment of political officers in the army.
He believed that the political workers of the People's Liberation Army were just the "Supervisory Army" with a different name.
However, the appointment of supervisory officers has been around since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Tradition is no exception in all dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty has reached its peak.
After the mid-term period, basically the entire Eight Banners Army served as a "supervision army".
It would be strange if a general commanded a large army and the court did not send a supervisory army, so Lao Zhao didn't take it seriously.
After waiting for a while, Lao Zhao discovered that the job of these political cadres was really not that of supervising the army in the traditional sense, but was much better than supervising the army.
"Supervising the army" is nothing more than the task of supervising the army, and it is aimed at generals rather than soldiers.
Political workers do much more than this.
They spend more time responsible for the ideological and political work of the officers and soldiers, as well as education, psychological counseling, publicity and public opinion guidance.
They are also responsible for caring for the lives of the soldiers.
They even care about the affairs of the officers and soldiers' families, and even the errands of matchmakers.
All robbed It didn't take long for Lao Zhao to discover that the People's Liberation Army, which had been equipped with political cadres, completely destroyed all kinds of "strong armies" in his mind, both in terms of morale and cohesion.
So he was convinced in the face of the facts.
He asked himself that he didn't have such ability.
He couldn't help but sigh: "I have spent half my life in the military, but I have never seen such a powerful supervisor."
His relationship with Zhou Ruosu became better and he regarded him as his right-hand man.
The two of them got along quite well.
Zhou Ruosu was promoted to general last year, and Lao Zhao went to the Military Commission to fight against injustice.
Lao Zhao nodded and said: "Well, it is true that this old war is of no benefit and does harm the national strength.
The foreign devils are getting stronger as they fight.
That's the reason.
Then, let's buy land for Belarus and other things.
Are there any benefits?
I still think it’s a bit much.”
Zhou Ruoteng said with a smile: "Of course there are benefits.
The second benefit is that we can keep White Russia.
Now the white-skinned devils in Europe and the United States are fighting vigorously, and we can't care about them at all.
If we don't care anymore, White Russia will not be around for a few days."
The Red Russians are much more powerful than the White Russians.
It would not be a good thing for us if they unified Russia.
Russia probably has more money than this.
This 2 billion is considered as paid aid to Belarus.
As long as Belarus can sustain it, our strategic situation will be much better.
A divided Russia is a good Russia.
There are no more opportunities like this.
Money can't buy it.

We can buy the split of Russia with 2 billion, which is already quite cheap.
If I tell you, Central Asia and Trans-Northeast Asia are just additions."
"Yes, these damn Rakshasa ghosts have been thinking about our land all day long.
It's time for them to be in trouble," Old Zhao said fiercely.
"Commander, if you still feel that you have spent too much.
The target of our cluster this time is the Alash Autonomous Republic.
The dignitaries in this place are all long-standing local tycoons, and these local upper-class elements are the targets to be purged."
Zhou Ruosu said meaningfully whispered.
"Hehehe" Lao Zhao smiled knowingly.
He secretly made up his mind that this time when he entered Kazakhstan, he would definitely try to get some money back from these local wealthy families by buying the land.
He's very experienced at this kind of thing.
At this time, a service sergeant came to report: "Report to the commander, the leaders of the 122nd Division and the 123rd Division are here and are already in the conference room."
"Oh, it's Ziyu and Youzheng.
Haha, they came so fast.
I guess they didn't even finish their meal."
Zhao Erfeng stood up.
Zhou Ruofu smiled and said: "Hahaha, these two are impatient, and they will definitely not come after finishing the meal.
Well, it's time for us to go to the conference room."
As soon as Lao Zhao and the others walked outside the conference room door, they heard Xu Shuzheng's arrogant voice.
"Ziyu, no wonder you look so ugly.
It turns out your regiment hasn't arrived yet.
Hahaha, our 123rd Division is already fully staffed.
Yes, your armored division does have higher combat effectiveness, but our mobile division is faster than you.
It has to be so fast” Immediately I heard Wu Peifu say angrily: "Your mobile divisions are all wheeled vehicles, and you don't have to squeeze into the railway.
Of course you can run fast this time.
If you put them in the wild, let me see how fast your cars can run."
"Ahem!"
Lao Zhao coughed twice after entering the door.
"Salute."
The two people who had been fighting cocks just now suddenly became excited and stood at attention to salute as if on conditioned reflex.
The political commissars of the two divisions all looked helpless.
It was not a day or two without dealing with these two people.
This was the case when they were in Beiyang.
There was no sign of improvement after joining the People's Liberation Army.
They basically started bickering as soon as they met.
"We'll have a meeting when everyone is here.
You guys came so fast, you didn't even have lunch."
Old Zhao glanced at them.
"Well, I was eating when I received a notification, so I rushed over right away," Wu Peifu answered honestly.
"Today's meeting is quite long.
I don't want to hear anyone's stomach growling during the meeting."
Zhou Ruofu told the orderly sergeant beside him: "Go to the canteen and bring a cage of meat buns."
"Report, the Second Army Hu Cheng and Yu Cun have arrived."
After a while, two more officers with the rank of lieutenant general came in.
"Lao Hu, Lao Yu is here, sit down for a while, and then the meeting will begin when everyone is gathered," Zhou Ruofu greeted with a smile.

After Hu Chenghe, commander of the Second Group Army, signed in the meeting minutes, he saw a few people eating steamed buns and couldn't help but joked: "Hey, Ziyu, Zheng, you even come to Mr.
Zhao's place for lunch."
"I came in such a hurry, I haven't finished the food at home yet," Wu Peifu said a little embarrassed.
Xu Shuzheng was embarrassed and embarrassed to speak.
The orderly also brought tea and snacks at this time.
Everyone chatted for a while, and people from other troops also arrived one after another.
It is customary for military meetings to be chaired by the chief of staff.
Qi Ehao, chief of staff of the Northern Cluster, announced the start of the meeting when he saw everyone had arrived.
Qi Ehao looked at everyone gearing up and said with a smile: "I think everyone has almost guessed the content of this meeting.
Yes, it is our turn now.
The Central Military Commission decided, Han and Tang Chongguang The operation will be officially launched at four o'clock in the morning on July 2.
The first ones to take action will be the Air Force, Army Aviation, and long-range artillery.
The attack time of our ground forces is at seven o'clock in the morning.
Comrades, be prepared when you go back.
Press the button as soon as the time comes.
Plan to launch an attack on a predetermined target.”
"Bah bang bang!"
Everyone couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically.
Qi Ehao paused and continued: "In addition, let me tell you another piece of news.
The war in the outer Northeast has basically ended.
The Red Russian army that resisted has been basically annihilated.
Currently, the Red Russian army exists as an unorganized army.
The Military Commission gave Our time is to basically end the fighting in Central Asia before November and push the border to a new national border.”
At five o'clock in the morning on July 2, the 122nd Division.
"Are you all ready?"
Wu Peifu asked.
"Reports from all ministries are ready and ready to go," the chief of staff replied.
"Okay, order the entire division to set off."
After Wu Peifu finished speaking, he jumped onto the armored command vehicle next to him.
The first to start were the 45 armored vehicles of various types from the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, followed closely by the 78 Red Wolf tanks of the First Regiment, followed by the Wolverine tanks of the Second Regiment, the infantry fighting vehicles of the Third Regiment, and the self-propelled artillery of the Fourth Regiment.
More than a thousand vehicles of various types from the division headquarters and directly affiliated troops formed a long queue, with smoke and dust billowing, and they headed west in a mighty manner.
In a new village on the roadside, many people were awakened by the earth-shattering sound on the road and went out to see it.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this endless army.
Village cadres who received the notice yesterday had already organized militia and security teams to maintain order.
"Folks, this is our People's Liberation Army.
It is currently performing military missions.
Don't be afraid or nervous.
You can watch it, but don't leave the village.
Just watch it upstairs in your own house."
At this time, the village radio sounded familiar to everyone.
The voice of the village chief.
Other cadres also held loudspeakers and shouted throughout the village.
After the "village merging", Chinese villagers were all trained, and those who were disobedient to orders were sent to labor camps.
After hearing what the cadres said, they all ran to the rooftops of their houses to watch.
Especially the tallest buildings such as rural apartments have become popular, with little kids vying to run up them.

At this time, the bachelors and single girls living in rural apartments took the most advantage, and they watched directly from the balcony.
I heard the girls and boys in the building exclaiming in surprise from time to time.
A group of naughty boys aged thirteen or fourteen also ran to the roof of a rural apartment out of breath.
"Have you seen Red Wolf?
Red Wolf, following the Wolverine, is the Red Wolf Armored Fighting Vehicle, the best armored fighting vehicle in the world."
A naughty child shouted excitedly.
"That's the Wildebeest 155mm self-propelled howitzer.
There are so many of them.
They look like gazelles and 105mm armored destroyers."
Another naughty kid also shouted.
These naughty kids were all military fans in the village.
Seeing so many real objects in front of them, they were extremely excited.
"What are they doing?"
a little loli asked weakly.
The naughty boy A said with certainty: "Of course I'm going to fight against Lao Maozi.
Lao Maozi has robbed us of a lot of territory.
Let's go and grab it back.
Didn't you listen to Teacher Wang?
All the territory over there in the west has been ours since ancient times. something” But the naughty child B said: "Hey, I just hope that the uncles and brothers of the People's Liberation Army will not take back too much and leave some for me.
When I grow up, I will take it myself
