Chapter 58 Chapter 2.15 New Battle of Talas

In the New Battle of Talas, which side was mainly at fault? If scholars from both sides were asked to judge, they would both blame the other side. But there is no doubt that the rulers of both sides bear the main responsibility.

In May of the 2198th year of the Qin Tongli calendar, the relationship between Shenzhou and the powerful country in the north of the border deteriorated rapidly. They expelled foreign affairs personnel from each other and were carrying out the withdrawal of merchants and overseas Chinese from each other.

Both sides also began to stockpile troops on the border, and war was inevitable.

Kazan Fortress.

General Kukov, whose medals on his chest were like bulletproof vests, arrived at his office. He had been fully authorized by the Red Palace to deal with the situation in the Far East.

The general was holding a pen with his staff to draw up the strategy for the region.

Overall, the distance between Kazan Fortress and the Western Regions was nearly a thousand kilometers, and both sides were completely in the area of ​​two war zones.

Kukov formulated the conflict with Shenzhou here, and it seemed that there was a sense that Shenzhou people were sitting in Shaanxi and Gansu to discuss the gap in the eastern coastal defense.

…

In fact, the main strategic direction formulated by the Kremlin is not to collide with Shenzhou in the Central Asian Plate.

The decision-makers of the Red Palace believe that it is the arrogant invaders who have provoked the conflict, and they must give them a head-on blow.

What is the main strategic plan of the red polar bear now?

The first direction is naturally the European continent, and they must find an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea in the direction of southern Europe, and for this they must cut down the native chickens. The second direction is to contact the Indian Ocean, and for this they must break through the Persian Plateau.

As for unlimited conflicts with Shenzhou's Western Regions and the Mongolian Plateau, they are also trying their best to avoid it, because what can they get if they win the conflict in the center of the Asian Plate?

There are only vast Gobi Deserts and hot beaches during the day and cold at night. What? Hami melons are sweet there? Cotton grows well?

The Russians can take root in bitter and cold places, bypass the Arctic Ocean, and establish settlements near the Bering Strait, relying on their cold tolerance, not their extraordinary management (farming) ability.

Even if the Red Palace puts all its strategic weight on the conflict with Shenzhou, and even if it is lucky enough that all the generals of Shenzhou are buffed with idiots, it will take more than ten years to connect to the ice-free port in the East Ocean.

The excellent ice-free port on the northern coastline of East Asia.

The Russian bear is not yet confident enough to rely on the manpower of digging potatoes in Siberia to push the Mongolian Plateau in one wave, then push to the nine provinces of Liaoning, and then resist the military force of Shenzhou after the total mobilization in the north.

…

It’s just that the Russian bear has always lacked dexterity in dealing with foreign issues.

This is the case in the main world. Faced with the departure of the original allies in East Asia, it deployed a million troops in the east, intending to force them back to form an alliance, but it ended up with a conventional military confrontation, and then a nuclear confrontation after further escalation.

In this world, Shenzhou does not have the tenacity of the main world. Faced with the increasing military strength of the northern part of the Saibei in the southern Caucasus, the Saichu faction has the ambition to "drink from the North Sea and build a monument", and the reasons are very sufficient:

The north has been a threat to Shenzhou for thousands of years, and any rising power in the north must be defeated at all costs.

These Saichu factions also explained the necessity of urgent action: now is the time to take advantage of the faction of the Luosha people before their technology is developed to gank.

In Shenzhou, anyone who disagrees with their opinions is a "cowardly peace advocate", and there are many notorious figures in the "peace advocate" in the history of Shenzhou, the most famous of which is the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty cast in iron. So anyone who disagrees with these Saichu factions is a traitor.

Of course, these reasons - Wei Keng cannot complain: in history, the northern threats faced by Shenzhou relied on the Liaodong region, which was the economic zone of the former Bohai Kingdom, as well as several places with abundant water and grass in southern Mongolia and the river area in the Western Regions, which threatened the Central Plains in the agricultural era.

But now is the industrial age, competing for the productivity of hundreds of thousands and millions of people. The Russians are an Eastern European power, and 90% of the population base is concentrated in several large cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow. This is only close to the forces in the Rhine Basin, and there is an irreconcilable geopolitical security crisis between them.

And the anxiety peddled by these generals and lieutenants in Shenzhou is like "seeing a doctor on Baidu". Wei Keng seriously suspects that they are reincarnated from the Indian side.

…

Shenzhou is out of control, and General Kukov, who is leading the Eastern strategy at this time, is not a world war strategist.

In his eyes, the correct plan is: in order to not affect the strategy of going south to the Persian Plateau, it is necessary to launch a preventive counterattack against Shenzhou's forces in the sub-central region.

In another timeline, Wei Keng's younger brother, Wei Qiang, commented on him as "Mao's version of five-star general MacArthur."

At this time, in the command center of the Caucasus bunker, the general paced in front of the table where the staff gathered, put down his pipe, picked up a pen, and drew a thick red line on the strategic map on the table. The red line will cut through the yellow group representing the Shenzhou Group.

As he put down his pen, on the vast land of central Asia,

the Soviet heavy construction vehicles with black smoke were rolling forward from the East Siberia region, and the steel structure monsters weighing tens of thousands of tons crushed tracks as wide as three meters in the jungle.

In the sky, MiG fighters flew over the armored front. The concept of the Mao Bear's air force was to maintain air superiority 400 kilometers ahead of the armored impact cluster. Clear the obstacles for the ground cluster.

Above the vast number of tanks, the Kirov III airship moved with it. In the cabin of this air unit weighing thousands of tons, enough bombs were stored. At the same time, there were also the latest models soaked in nutrient solution. brainwave signal transmitter.

The base vehicle drove to an area two hundred kilometers away from the front line and quickly deployed. The metal with electromagnetic memory quickly expands into a huge building like origami unfolding.

Its huge robotic arms stretch around, and the ground soil blocks are heated by hot-melt equipment, and then installed into metal skeletons and cubic barriers of composite materials. These are the most common "piles" in the construction of the Saibei Powerful Country, and then the construction machines of the Saibei Powerful Country. , then insert the steel plate, put the Tesla motor and other equipment into it, and install it on the production line. Soon these cutting-edge tank factories sprang up near the main base.

In the future, the Siberian Railway will transport more materials.

…

Talas.

More than a thousand years ago, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire fought a war in this region. Datang was reluctant to lose and confirmed that it had reached its strategic limit. Continued eastward expansion has also reached its limit.

The terrain of this place is in the area southwest of Bash Lake in the main world.

This is the main world. When the territory was in its heyday, the lake was like a moat in the northwest. At that time, Yilie Mansion was not on the border of Rooster. But in a centered position.

If the border is like that, if you have to guard the exits of a few mountain passes in Altai, you can firmly control the entire border defense, because no one can cross the mountains to enter. How could that allow the warriors and warriors of the previous life of the main plane guard Keng? Bandits infiltrated from outside are circulating in the Gobi Desert.

This plane of China actually completes territory control according to this terrain.

Let's put it this way, starting from Chang'an and entering the Western Region directly through the Hetao corridor, it will merge into the Tochar Basin in the south and the Jungar Basin in the north.

Because the atmospheric circulation flows from the Mediterranean Sea and the Caspian Sea, this series of ancient Mediterranean relics will produce relatively abundant precipitation and form large rivers due to the terrain obstruction of the Altai Mountains. This is why the northern part of the Western Region is more prosperous than the southern part (Taxmu Basin).

And continuing to the west is the exit to the south of Yi Bohai - Talos. To the people of China, this is a completely foreign and unfamiliar area.

In Wei Keng's eyes, the psychological expectation is to clear the control line, but the Chinese warriors in this world see farther when they look at the map.

Continuing to move westward along the ancient Silk Road, there is only the Turan Plain separated from the Persian Plateau farther west.

Further south of Turan is the most famous Imperial Cemetery. The mountainous terrain completely separates it from South Asia; to the west is the Caspian Sea; to the northeast is the boundary of Eastern Europeans.

Apart from anything else, China always wants to go west here, which is equivalent to inserting a thorn in the side of Maozi's south to the Indian Ocean.

This is also the reason why the Rakshasa Kingdom in the main plane forced the Qing court to redefine the northwest boundary in modern times, because the Qing's territory in the Western Region was so perfect at that time. By guarding the gate, the forces in the area can be attacked or defended.

…

And now, precisely because of this advantageous location for offense and defense, the soldiers from Shenzhou, from Shenjing to the Western Regions, are eager to provoke provocations at the front!

When the Shenzhou Forward Army arrived at the Tulan Plain, it was September 10th.

Photographed by cutting-edge reconnaissance aircraft, the pure steel shells of a large number of Rhino tanks have become very clear. Murong Xi, the commander-in-chief of the Western Regions, looked down upon such junk, thinking that these were just junk.

Indeed, in the main world, armored troops with pure steel shells can now be easily penetrated to a depth of one meter by shaped armor-piercing projectiles. The high-speed metal flow will penetrate the steel shell like a water jet cutting tofu, and then burn the high-heat flames. Filled with steel.

However, the strange physical conditions of this plane have led to the emergence of many black technologies. Well, as long as you are "dead enough", you can play it.

For example, burn the molten iron until it is red, strengthen its bond energy intensity in the electromagnetic field, and then let it reach hundreds of times, and then transmit (transfer) the state of the molten iron to the front tank shell! After this strengthening, the Iron Curtain shattered any kinetic energy projectile that came into contact with it.

[When the Shenzhou camp was bidding for defense systems, this technology bid together with strong electromagnetic deflection technology. However, in the end, this technology would cause overheating inside the tank and may even cause personnel to suffocate and other unfavorable factors. Being abandoned, it is obvious that the Soviet scientists are more bold. 】

When Murong Xi (General Soldier) determined the enemy's forward position, he immediately ordered his own group's armored forces to launch an assault.

The Kirin main battle tanks and White Tiger heavy artillery clusters began to rush to meet him following his message. But he didn't seem to have thought that such an action would repeat what happened to Talas a thousand years ago.

Because the target his main force was trying to attack was just a decoy force of the Soviet army.

At this time, on Kukov's combat map, he waited for the troops to come out of the defensive corridor of the Western Region of China and stretched forward too much to intercept them.

Six hours later, when the Chinese side thought they had control of the air superiority over the Turan Plain, a large number of stainless steel war eagles with a speed of two Mach appeared on the radar scan of the early warning aircraft from the northern sky. These fighter groups quickly approached and unified. A large number of missiles were released.

In the sky, China's first-generation Phoenix fighter aircraft inevitably collided with the Soviet air power, and was consumed in large numbers in less than thirty minutes.

At the same time, as the Soviet heavy tanks rolled southward, the four heavy artillery tanks of Shenzhou's northern defense, the White Tiger artillery quickly turned to fire strikes, but these tanks were not damaged at all in the smoke, and they continued to roll forward in the smoke. The dark red light, like the eyes of evil spirits in the smoke, kept approaching from the horizon.

On September 12,

The Battle of New Talas was lost. An entire heavy armored group army was hit by the Soviet armored force several times larger, and had to flee to the Kandahar area in the south, and then moved to South Asia.

However, this army could retreat, but the Western Region became extremely empty due to the lack of the Corps. Various anxious discussions were made in the business news (newspapers).

The original war faction is now in an uproar.

Before the war, Shenzhou's science and technology department believed that the armored forces of the northern powers, which were backward and had very imperfect information technology, seemed huge, but would collapse at the touch of a button.

The Soviet army's NCOs have a kind of mind chip implanted in their helmets, which makes the command of the grassroots Northern Power Company very flexible, and these NCOs can take on skills and become versatile.

For example, on the battlefield, after some vehicles lose their combat capability due to some minor problems, these NCOs can guide the mobilized soldiers to repair them, and then sit in them to restart the vehicles.

September 13, 8 am.

The huge anti-gravity Kirov airship arrived at the Zhaowu Fortress.

Two-ton gliding bombs fell from the airship and continued to destroy the defense line, and the defenders of the Zhaowu Fortress could only rely on the construction vehicles of the base, taking advantage of the gaps between firepower strikes, and constantly piled up barriers to stop the Soviet army from advancing.

The situation was very critical, and the front defenders sent messages to Shenjing three times an hour to seek support. And the officials in Shenjing carried out a new round of blame for this matter! The censors wrote: This border provocation was condoned by some people in the cabinet.

Of course, the big man in the cabinet did not expect the situation to deteriorate to such an extent. In his mind: originally, he just wanted to create some disturbances in the border fortress, and use the military and national affairs of the Western Region to give the merchants in Guanzhong a warning. But now the military affairs in the Western Region have collapsed directly, and the entire Western Region is facing the risk of being plunged into the flames of war.

Once this happens, overthrowing the cabinet will become inevitable!

At this time, the originally radical war faction in the cabinet is now somewhat in a dilemma.

It’s just that they can’t end the war first due to face, and this matter should be raised by others! For example, those Guandong nobles who have invested too much in the Western Region. So under the instruction of the cabinet, the official newspaper of the day still said "Zhaowu Fortress is indestructible, and the heaven and earth bless our army to victory."

But in the evening, Xu Gen, Xu Ge Lao was awakened by new news.

The reinforcements from Mobei are rushing to support the Western Region, and the chief officer leading the team is Lieutenant General Wei Keng, oh, now temporarily promoted to deputy general. The new head of the Ministry of War bypassed the cabinet's general meeting and signed the order first.

However, Xu Gen did not say much about this matter. At this time, the new head of the Ministry of War made him avoid it. After getting up from the bed and changing clothes, he said as if he was worried about the country: "I hope this war can end soon."

...

Thousands of miles away, in a heavy-loaded train speeding on the railway, Wei Keng and the officers, wearing Longyan combat armor, looked at the map and discussed the time point repeatedly.

When someone talked about ending the war quickly,

Wei Keng immediately interrupted his own people in this regard: "End the war? Don't think about it after the war. War can only be actively prepared before the war, and every effort should be made to avoid it."
