Since June, two regimes, both claiming to be "socialist," and two armies flying red flags, have been fighting over the vast land stretching from the Sea of Japan in the east to Central Asia in the west.
The "Battle of Yaisan" that took place on July 17, 1918 was the first division-level field battle between two armies flying the red flag.
The result of the battle shocked many military experts.
In less than an hour, In the encounter, the Red Russians, who had the upper hand in terms of strength and types of troops, were completely defeated.
An elite cavalry army on the Red Russian side was completely wiped out.
According to post-war statistics, more than 27,200 people under the Russian commander Frunze, the commander of the Central Asian Front, were killed in the battle, 2,230 were captured, and less than 200 escaped.
The losses of the Chinese 123rd Motorized Infantry Division were minimal, with 54 killed, more than 170 injured, 6 armored vehicles destroyed, and another 28 vehicles damaged to varying degrees.
After this battle, the Chinese army took advantage of the situation to attack the weak Orenburg.
On July 20, the 123rd Division and the 122nd Division captured the area and annihilated the two defending divisions.
On the same day, the six main divisions of the Northern Cluster, coordinated by aircraft, forcibly crossed the Uyl River and defeated the four Soviet infantry divisions defending the area.
On July 25, the Russian Army's Ural River defense line was broken through by the People's Liberation Army.
Seven divisions of hundreds of thousands of armored troops crossed the Ural River, the natural dividing line between Asia and Europe.
By mid-August, China had controlled all the areas south of the Kama River and east of the Volga River, bordering on the Ufa region controlled by Belarus.
Not only did they occupy all of the former "Alash Autonomous Republic", but they also grabbed some more interests, such as Cherny, Samara and other important cities.
The red-haired man suffered a big loss this time.
However, there is also good news for Red Russia.
Denikin’s White Army entrenched in the Caucasus was finally completely defeated by them at the end of July.
According to the agreement between China and Belarus, Denikin defeated the generals with his more than 70,000 remaining troops, and more than 500,000 Supporters retreated into Turkish-controlled South Caucasus.
They surrendered to the Turkish army, were disarmed, and were sent to Persia by the Turks.
Then they rested in refugee camps prepared in Persia and gradually moved from the Eurasian Railway to Siberia controlled by White Russia.
The 20 divisions freed by the Red Russians hurried northward and deployed defenses on the west bank of the Volga River and the north bank of the Kama River.
The 15 divisions they formed in the rear also ended their reorganization ahead of schedule and were quickly sent to the front line.
Although China's attack went smoothly, it was as if mercury was pouring down the ground and the momentum was overwhelming.
However, this kind of tyrannical, cool and explosive results are based on huge consumption of materials.
The higher the degree of mechanization and the more synthetic the army, the more heavily it relies on logistics.
The current traffic situation in Kazakhstan is very poor, and there is no guarantee that such a high-consumption operation will continue.
Therefore, after reaching the Volga River, the Chinese army also stopped advancing.
In the previous battles, they had already consumed a large amount of ammunition and supplies accompanying the army.
If there were two more large-scale battles, the tanks and artillery would have to run out of food.
The Red Russians were also completely beaten in the previous battles.
They lost a total of fifteen divisions, all of which were elites drawn from all parties.
After the destruction of these mobile troops, the Red Russians were heartbroken.
Therefore, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
Instead, they were afraid that China would attack them, so they desperately built fortifications west of the Volga River.
After mid-August, the armies of both sides faced off across the rivers on both sides of the Volga and Kama rivers.
At this time, neither side has any intention of continuing the war.
China has eaten too much and is satisfied for the time being.
It is ready to stop as soon as possible and digest the fruits of victory.
And Red Russia is now riddled with holes in the country, and still owes a lot of debt to Germany and Austria.
There is also a White Russia on the side, and it does not want to provoke another opponent no matter what.
The leader of the Red Russia, Mr.
Ulyanov, was worthy of being a hero of his generation.
He immediately sent People’s Commissar of Foreign Affairs Kamenev to come to Hanking for peace talks.
He also sent someone to contact the leader of the German Social Democratic Party, Friedrich Ebert, and asked him to help coordinate the two sides.
The German Social Democratic Party is an important member of the Second International and has a good relationship with the Chinese Science and Socialist Party.

The two parties have frequent exchanges.
The leader of the party, Albert, was even called "an old friend of the Chinese people" by President Wen.
By the way, in the time and space when Wen Desi came, this man was the first president of Germany's Weimar government.
However, their relationship with the Russian Bolsheviks was not good.
Ulyanov publicly accused them of betraying the "principles of proletarian internationalism" and called them "traitors", "scabs" and "opportunists" etc.
However, the now desperate Burundi Party has no choice but to pinch its nose and invite these "traitors" to serve as mediators.
You can't invite those imperialist countries, right?
Comrade Albert was quite generous.
After receiving Ulyanov's request, he ignored the previous suspicion and took a plane to Turkey that day, then transferred to Persia, and traveled all the way to Hanking.
Wen Desi also gave Albert face, and received him at the Presidential Palace that day.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Albert turned to the topic: "Wen, the war between your country and Soviet Russia was a regrettable war.
We are both socialist regimes and should not kill each other."
Both of them said It is an old acquaintance, and it is not an exchange between countries, so the names they call each other are not so formal.
Wen Desi shook his head: "No, no, no, Friedrich, you are wrong.
We are an imperialist regime, but Soviet Russia is not socialist.
They claim to be a communist regime, and so far, we have not recognized it.
They are Russia's legal regime."
Mr.
Wen's tone was filled with irony.
"Hahahaha" Albert also laughed, and he also remembered the cloth party's attack on him.
After laughing for a while, he said calmly: "Wen, you are speaking out of anger.
Of course Ulyanov and the others are indeed too extreme, and it is normal for you to be angry.
However, although there are great ideological differences between the two of you, There are differences, but after all, they all belong to the socialist camp, and it would be a pity to have a war with each other.
This will seriously weaken the power of the socialist camp."
"Friedrich, we did not provoke this war.
I am a pacifist.
I dislike war the most, but sometimes I have to fight the war I hate the most."
Wen Desi said righteously: "China We paid money to buy the sub-region from the Russian Empire, but they sent troops to brazenly invade the territory that was about to be handed over to us.
This is shameless aggression.
This kind of banditry must be punished."
"Well, of course, the Burundi Party was at fault first, and they have admitted this.
They are willing to apologize for this and provide compensation."
As for the fact that the Chinese army has gone to Europe, Albert pretended not to know. .
"In this case, we are not unreasonable people.
For your sake, I can agree to peace talks, but they must compensate us for our losses."
Wen Desi nodded, giving his old friend face.
So now we need to let Soviet Russia admit defeat and agree to cede territory and pay compensation.
Well, there is no need to pay reparations.
Soviet Russia is now so poor that it is almost as poor as its pants, and it cannot squeeze out much oil and water.
However, this land must be cut off, and we don’t want more.
Let’s just use the current occupation zone to divide it.
How can there be no reason to lose blood without bleeding?
As for whether Soviet Russia would agree that Wen Desi never worried about this issue.
In the Soviet-Polish War in the original time and space, the Soviet Union only lost 150,000 troops before admitting defeat, and even ceded the elite areas of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus to Poland.
Now they have lost at least 200,000 troops, and they are all the main elite, and there are tens of thousands of prisoners in his hands.

The land that China currently occupies that belongs to Russia is only over 140,000 square kilometers.
At this time, Orenburg Oblast belongs to Kazakhstan, so they probably have to hold their noses and admit it.
On August 25, 1918, China and Soviet Russia signed a peace treaty in Samara.
The main contents are: 1.
Both sides shall cease fire immediately, restore peace, and return prisoners of war.
Soviet Russia promised to withdraw all Red Army guerrillas and Bolivian Party organizations currently in areas controlled by China, and China also agreed to provide them with a return channel. . 2.
Soviet Russia apologized to China for sending troops to Central Asia and promised that similar incidents would not happen again. 3.
The land purchased by China from the Russian Empire will be recognized by Soviet Russia.
China also promised not to directly intervene in the Russian civil war. 4.
The border between China and Soviet Russia shall be based on the Line of Actual Control. 5.
Soviet Russia returns all confiscated Chinese industries within its jurisdiction, apologizes to relevant companies and individuals and compensates for economic losses, and guarantees that similar incidents will not happen again.
The two sides resumed normal trade exchanges.
What is very paradoxical about this treaty is that the two parties did not sign it in the name of the country, but in the name of a political party.
Even the notary was Friedrich Ebert, the leader of the German Social Democratic Party.
There is no way, now China does not recognize the Soviet Union as a country, naturally it cannot use the name of the country to sign a treaty with the other party.
Mr.
Wen will not do such a derogatory thing.
So they simply signed this treaty with the Russian Communist Party in the name of the Chinese Science and Socialist Party.
As for the legality of the treaty, this is not a problem at all.
As long as the fist is big enough, it will be valid even if it is signed in a private capacity.
Besides, if I use a more rogue term, this treaty is meant to be torn up, no matter what the name is.
The atmosphere when the contract was signed was very dull, and neither party made any publicity.
The Soviet Union did not want to lose face, while China had other plans.
The armistice between China and Red Russia disappointed many countries.
Especially Belarus, they originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but they did not expect that China would not give them this opportunity at all.
Before they were ready for a new offensive, China and Red Russia ceased fire.
Although neither party has publicly publicized it, this kind of thing certainly cannot be hidden from interested people, and China has not deliberately kept it secret.
After the peace talks with the Soviet Union, Chinese Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang immediately approached Belarus and expressed his willingness to transfer the territory acquired from Red Russia to Belarus.
Lao Lu said that in principle, China could hand over approximately 100,000 square kilometers of territory north of the Great Irgiz River to Belarus.
Of course, we have worked hard to gain this territory, so we cannot give it to you for free.
That's it.
You can use the remaining Yakutia and Irkutsk regions to exchange it.
This request has made all Belarusians tangled.
The remaining Yakutia and Irkutsk regions are of course much larger, but they are basically barren lands, with permafrost and the like, and a small population.
Most are not Russian.
The piece of land that China took out is the essence of Russia.
Cherny, Samara, and Balakovo are all important cities.
It would be great if it could be returned to its hands.
There is absolutely no comparison between the territory in Eastern Europe and the territory in Siberia.
On the territory now claimed by China, the total number of people on this territory is less than the population of a single city in Samara.
Well, China is not just talking nonsense.
I found out from the pile of old papers a record of the talks on the Treaty of Nerchinsk.
In it, the representative of the Qing Dynasty first proposed a plan of "taking Ya as the boundary".
This "Ya" "That means Yakutia.
Of course, this plan failed in the end.

As for whether this statement is reasonable or not, it doesn't matter.
It is nothing more than a step forward for Belarus.
In the end, Belarusian senior officials discussed for several days and finally agreed to China's exchange plan.
Of course, there was some bargaining later.
China made some more concessions, conceding thousands of square kilometers more in Eastern Europe, moving the border south to 10 kilometers south of "Red Kut", and moving this small town founded by Ukrainian immigrants in 1837 and the border to the north.
All former Russian territory was handed over to Belarus.
And Russia also handed over the remaining Yakutia region to China.
Irkutsk Oblast has not yet completed the handover.
After all, the land on the Siberian Railway is still of some value.
They have retained the part west of Ust-Kut and north of the Siberian Railway, and the rest was given to China as an exchange.
As for the more than 20,000 square kilometers of territory in the lower reaches of the Volga River that China still occupies, Baimaozi is too sensible to ask.
They only have China as their backer, so they dare not offend it.
However, in order to appease them, China took the initiative and promised to forgive the debt of 30 million yuan as the purchase fee for this land.
Well, it’s the more than 200 million yuan in material expenses they owed before.
Well, actually, Mr.
Wen wanted this little bit of space.
His main purpose was to maintain an area bordering Red Russia to facilitate future business.
The second is one more water source.
After the red and white Maozi are settled, China will hand over land to Belarus and continue to receive territory in Central Asia.
Central Asia is really too big.
Although there are few defenders in various places, the area is so large that just marching will take a lot of time.
As a result, it was not until the end of August that the People's Liberation Army completely occupied Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and western Uzbekistan.
Before that, it only ensured communication lines and important strongholds, leaving many places unattended.
Because Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and eastern Uzbekistan are in the Pamir Plateau, they will not be fully occupied until mid-September.
Of course, according to the usual practice, "security maintenance committees" and "self-defense forces" were immediately established in the places occupied along the way, and cleaning was also carried out.
Well, you asked, didn't the Red Army withdraw?
Yes, they did implement their commitments in the contract and evacuated all guerrillas and cloth party organizations and their families that were still active in the outer Northeast and Central Asia.
At present, there are no Red Russians on China's territory, except for spies, of course.
No one will admit this kind of thing.
However, who said that the "Security Guards" and the "Self-Defense Forces" are specifically designed to deal with the Red Army?
Can't they do something else?
The targets that need to be purged are not just Red Russia
