    Since the northwest hinterland is too far away from Wuhan, based on the principle of commanding from the nearest location, Zhang Hanqing established the Central China People's Army Headquarters and separated some troops from the Northwest People's Army.

    The main two divisions of the People's Army, the 1st and 4th, and the newly formed 7th, 8th, and 9th divisions were incorporated into the Central China Military Region and were stationed in Wuchang to control the military affairs of Hunan and Hubei provinces.  The commander of the Central China Military Region is Jian Yiqiao.  In addition to these troops, it also controls the Hubei 1st Division, which has not joined the People's Army, and the mobile 26th Division.

    Although Zhang Zuoxiang was appointed to take charge of the Armed Police Force, considering the backwardness of the road and communication system, the jurisdiction of the Armed Police Force of the two headquarters was temporarily under the direct responsibility of each headquarters.

    The two major headquarters rested separately and trained together, and a brief peace was achieved in central and western China.

    Just as Zhang Hanqing turned his attention to the Land of Abundance, which was surrounded by Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei under the control of the People's Army, the Soviet envoy who moved from Xinjiang to Lanzhou contacted the Northwest People's Army and heard that the Soviet leader accepted the offer of food.  Yi Junhuo's proposal.

    This is long overdue good news.  Zhang Hanqing was worried that the People's Army was too far away from the Fengtian headquarters and was worried about insufficient equipment supply, and that transporting arms by sea and the Yangtze River was not a long-term solution. He had just dozed off when the pillow came.

    It turns out that the food problem in Soviet Russia has reached the point where the party and the country will be destroyed.

    Wartime communism catalyzed famine and triggered peasant riots that spread to many provinces across the country.  From the end of 1920 to the spring of 1921, peasant riots broke out in Ukraine, southeastern and central Russia, Siberia, and along the Volga River. The climax was in December 1921, when more than 60,000 peasants participated in the riot in Ishim County, Siberia.  More than 50,000 people participated in the peasant uprising in Tambov Province.

    During the peasant uprising, the Kronstadt military riot broke out on February 28, 1921.  Most of the 26,000 rioting sailors came from rural areas. They were the first to fire on the Winter Palace during the October Revolution. At this time, they revolted again because they opposed the Bolshevik centralization of power and the "surplus grain collection system".

    Tambov Province has the most fertile black soil in the world, and its grain was once sold throughout Russia and Europe. Before the October Revolution, it was one of the most fertile provinces in Russia.  After the establishment of the Soviet regime in 1917, the area had been passively resisting the surplus grain collection system, which turned into an open armed peasant riot.  As the Soviet Russian government suppressed the rioting farmers in Tambov Province, the province's economy also fell to the second to last place in the country, losing two-thirds of its residents and falling into a situation where it was unable to support itself.  .

    Not only China, but also the tragedy of cannibalism occurred during the famine in Soviet Russia in the early 1920s.  At the Ninth All-Russian Congress of Soviets, Burmatnov, a farmer representative from the Samara region where the great famine occurred, pointed out in his speech at the conference that cannibalism had occurred in the local area because of the famine.

    During a break in the meeting, Lenin asked Antonov, the leader of the Samara Province¡¯s committee for famine relief, and asked: ¡°The peasant representative of your province, Burmatnov, spoke very well, but Comrade Antonov  , he said that cannibalism happened there." Antonov replied: "Comrade Vladimir Ilyich, the situation is not just like that, cannibalism does not only happen there."

    "People eat corpses?!" Lenin asked in surprise, and immediately pointed out angrily: "Armed interventionists must be punished for this!" Naturally, he did not mention the armed food collection team.

    However, grain still had to be collected. On May 19, 1921, M.N. Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Soviet government's force to suppress peasant uprisings, issued a "Message to the Red Army Soldiers on the Front Line", calling on the Red Army soldiers to "  The enemies of the working class strike bravely and resolutely, and Tambov's gangsters are doomed!"

    In order to completely quell the Tambov peasant uprising, the Soviet Russian government's "Anti-Bandit Committee" even decided on June 21, 1921 to recommend that Tukhachevsky use poison gas to attack "bandits" and "be extremely cautious, and if necessary,  Adequate technical preparation and availability to ensure success.¡±  On August 22, 1921, an artillery brigade stationed in Tan Province consumed 82 poison gas bombs.

    The imminent reality of the Great Famine forced the Soviet government to abandon the wartime communist policy in March 1921 and implement a transitional new economic policy, replacing the surplus grain collection system with grain taxes and allowing farmers to own surplus grain and  To trade.

    It is worth mentioning that historically, the U.S. Relief Administration sent relief personnel to Soviet Russia. After providing guarantees to the Soviet Russian government, they carried out relief in 16 districts in Soviet Russia and purchased grain from the United States and transported it to the Soviet Union.  In Russia, as of July 1922, a total of 720,000 tons of grain and other food had arrived in the Soviet Union.  The American Relief Administration also provided medical assistance to hungry people and purchased grain for the Soviet Russian government in the international market.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Soviet government still prefers to obtain supplies mainly from China.Grain, this not only loses dignity, but also indirectly shows his support for the Fengxi government.

    Because from the overall point of view, it is only a matter of time before the Fengcun takes over China. Being able to establish good relations with future members of the Chinese government in advance will be very beneficial to Soviet Russia in broadening its living space and expanding its influence around the world. In addition,  China's strength can effectively curb Japan's pressure on its Far East.

    So the Soviet and Russian envoys were ordered to negotiate with them about exchanging food for arms. Not only that, they also decided to give China an artillery production line and a group of arms experts. Of course, the premise was that the Chinese government had to pay a large sum of money for this.

    Of course we have to provide it. Not to mention technical support, even future generations of employees will have a sum of money when they travel on business, right?  Zhang Hanqing was happy to have an in-depth conversation with him and proposed a package assistance plan including machine tools, metallurgy, chemical industry, and oil exploration technology.  It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish.  China is so big that we cannot rely solely on foreign aid.

    This surprised the Soviets.  A hundred years ago, Germany's iron-blooded prime minister, Bismarck, received two delegations from China and Japan respectively. Later, someone asked him what he thought of China and Japan. He pointed out that in the competition between China and Japan, Japan must win and China must lose.  Why?  Because "Japanese people who come to Europe discuss various academics, pay attention to political principles, and seek to return to their country to make fundamental reforms; while Chinese people come to Europe and only ask how well the ship's guns are made by a certain factory, what is their value, and just buy them back."  .¡±

    The current top leaders of the People's Party can actually have such a vision, which makes them feel that this is a political party and government that has the potential, value and ability to deal with.  Laying a good foundation of friendship with them in advance is even more precious than obtaining food to save millions of people.

    Of course, the Zhangs and his son will not do anything to make a profit. They will spend a lot of time dealing with Soviet Russia in the future. It is also a good thing to lend a hand to them in times of crisis to gain trust. Anyway, even if the Chinese government does not pull in the Soviet Union, Soviet Russia will still be there.  Live well.

    The trade started in Xinjiang and Mongolia, and China delivered batches of food that could survive.  This kind of thing, which is comparable to gold, makes the Soviet Russian government more fond of the Feng clique and the young marshal who always advocates friendship.  After the crisis was over, the Soviet Russian government conveyed goodwill to the Fengcian clique and the People's Party through the words of writer Gorky.

    Gorky pointed out gratefully in a letter to Huang Fengting, the general person in charge of Sino-Russian grain trade and the president of Northeast Grain and Oil Group: " you have taken back 3.5 million children and 5.5 million adults from the God of Death As far as I know  No action in the history of human suffering can match the scale and generosity of this aid"¡ª¡ª

    Let me advertise, the new book "I Don't Want to Go to Liangshan" will be released soon, please look forward to it!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
