February 10, 1948.
The head of the Russian Military Advisory Group, General Rodion Malinovsky, sat face to face with General Yan Shishan.
“General Yan Shishan, in my country, I think the best thing to do here is to shoot one shot that you did your best at this point.”
“The average lifespan of those sent down so far has been three months.
Anyway, no matter how this war ends, Yan Shishan can at least preserve his stronghold. The Russian Empire will not stand still.
And, he did not have any delusions of unifying China.
All Jungwon, there is no ambitious person who has not been delusional at least once, but he was not an ambitious person in the first place.
Although he was the strongest warlord, he was also aware that the possibility of breaking through the interference of the US and France, shaking off Russian interference, and unifying the midfield was infinitely low.
If so, all he can do is maintain his power.
For that, it was important to maintain an elite unit that was no less than his own bodyguard.
“Don’t you know that iron blood alone has its limits? Sometimes a word is more powerful than a thousand chariots.”
“It was also when the person who spoke those words had power. Liu Bei was very virtuous and many talented people were truly loyal to him, and he had a rare loyalist.
“……?”
When Malinovsky noticed that he did not understand at all, Yan Shishan sighed.
“In the midfield, strength is law and justice. And what you’re asking for is to cut down on my power.”
“Aren’t those strengths going to be refilled soon anyway?”
“Weapons, yes, but reliable minions are not so easily made.”
“Hey, we’re here, what kind of crazy thing would take your place?”
“I don’t know, you would say so, but if someone ambitious offers you a better deal, you may condone it, and in the end you too are following orders from Moscow rather than helping me.”
“I’m not helping you, I’m following Moscow’s orders, so I’ll tell you about those orders from Moscow. “In Moscow, one offensive was a major blow to the Americans, influencing the next presidential election, and if the Democratic government collapsed, the new Republican government would make an end to the war.”
“It’s a Republican government.”
“The candidate is George C. Marshall, who will be president if you cooperate with us. Once the U.S. forces are expelled and a non-aggression pact is signed, from then on, things will be solid. No one cares whether you resume industrialization in your country or put a bullet in the head of those who disobey you.”
“Even if you invade another country?”
“Is there any place to invade?”
“No, I don’t know if Mao Zedong invades the French colonies of Indochina.”
“If you call it a French colony, there is nothing in China except for Haenam Island.
“when?”
“The day when France abandons its greed?”
“It sounds like it’s never going to happen.”
“He said it will become inevitable someday, I don’t know if that’s what he wants to do or if it’s just a prediction.”
Yan Shishan, who looked at the map silently, exhaled.
“It’s a three-quarter world, ha, I don’t have two brothers who swore to live and die together in the peach orchard.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I think you’re well aware that you don’t have a choice in the first place.”
“……”
“Of course, some of your predictions are correct, but the troops deployed in this offensive will almost be wiped out. However, unless you are an elite army above a certain level, you cannot even attempt this offensive, and our military cannot intervene, so you need a unit directly under you.”
“What are the benefits of doing that?”
“It is up to you to guarantee power until you die, and whether or not you can inherit it.”
“……”
“Choose.”
He didn’t say it, but given the nature of the Russian Empire, if he refused here, there was a higher probability that he would be replaced and the offensive would start.
There were plenty of people who could take his place.
‘Where does the author’s superior look to see where he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for his contribution to world peace?’
Yan Shishan, who licked his tongue, nodded.
“…that’s good.”

Russian Empire, Moscow.
“The independence movement in Indochina is intensifying. Burma, Thailand, Vietnam……”
“The king of Thailand travels around the country, pleading for support?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Burma and Myanmar were handed over to France at the end of World War II. It was the Americans who recaptured Myanmar, but the French demanded the price for the blood of the deceased de Gaulle, and they were arrogant. In the end, the United States ended up entering Sri Lanka with certainty in possession of parts of present-day Malaysia, Indonesia, and New Guinea.
It was also a signal that he would care more about India than Indochina, and that it would not matter if only the Straits of Malacca were secured.
The Russian Empire was not very interested. Because I had no intention of going there anyway.
In any case, the territory currently under French jurisdiction is very large on the map.
From Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Haenam Island to the north, it borders with the Kingdom of Tibet.
Thanks to this, based on the People’s Republic of China in the 21st century, the territories to the west and north have been greatly blown away, and the territory has been significantly reduced, and the territory has also been divided into three parts: fruits, vegetables, and fruits.
A kind of Second Three Kingdoms period.
Of course, I have no intention of ending it here.
If Indochina was made independent as a single lump, as did India in the original history, it would be possible to prevent the return of that small piece of land to China. Otherwise, you will be pushed out of the population.
Even if it falls apart like Pakistan or Bangladesh later, how to tie it together into a single mass…. France must also sacrifice.
Having a history of struggle for independence that is consistent with the common enemy of France will give you a sense of national unity.
Having grown up in size and constantly arguing with China and India, I feel more comfortable.
‘I feel like a real imperialist by doing this.’
As I continued to ponder the post-war world order, I heard a voice behind me.
“Your Majesty, Yan Shishan’s forces have begun marching south.”
“i get it.”

Lindermann Airfield, Republic of China.
“It’s a bombardment!”
“Get down!”
With the explosion, the transport plane parked at the airfield was destroyed and the jeep rolled over the floor.
“The enemies are coming!”
With that cry, enemies appeared in their eyes.
“Shit, f*ck it! What a lot!”

Machine gun shots were fired everywhere.
Soldiers firing M14s, and some Air Force soldiers firing AKMs.
“Damn, this is better than the M14, but worse than the real Ivans.”
“It’s because the bullets used are different…!”
-Tatattattattatta!
Gunshots rang again and grenades detonated.
“■■, ■■■, ■■!”
“Damn it!”
“Alex!”
The American soldier, who was wrestling with the Chinese bayonet that stabbed the bayonet, realized after a while that the opponent’s head had been blown away.
“Damn it, thanks, Greg.”
“Thank you later! They are coming!”
-Tata ta ta ta ta tata!
The M1919 spit out bullets enough to bend the barrel, and firearms of all kinds spewed from all sides.
– Whoops! puff puff!
The minefield exploded in unison, shattering the oncoming Chinese troops, but they ran again.
“There is no end!”
“Lima Niner! This is Victor X-Ray! Those f*ckers pulled the tram! Repeat! It’s a Russian tank!”
“Damn it, these bastards believed in that and came here!”
“Bring the bazooka! Blow it away!”
“There must be some division-level troops out there, damn it!”
Watching the anti-aircraft guns installed at the airfield fire direct fire, the soldiers ran through the trenches.
“Alex! Bazooka!”
“launch!”
– Kwaang!
However, despite the clear hit, the enemy tank still wriggled.
“f*ck that…”
In the Russian Army, an MK tank, undergoing decommissioning, climbed up the hill and crushed an entire fort, reinforced with a 130mm gun.
“An enemy tank platoon is crawling from the northern slopes! I request an attack immediately!”
A 120mm anti-aircraft gun stopped an enemy tank only after a direct fire, but shortly thereafter, the entire anti-aircraft gun was smashed.
At that moment, some shadows passed them. Enemy heavy tanks were silent as several aircraft poured bombs and artillery fire.
But the mortar shells flew in, without even having time to breathe.
“Aren’t you on the mortar headquarters side now?”
“Oh my lord! Oh my gosh! headquarters! This is a hangar! Stop shooting right now! The enemies are already retreating and they are under fire!”
“I am not an ally! HQ is down!”
“They stole the mortar! Recapture headquarters, move!”
The soldiers climbed up the hill with all their might, but there they witnessed the Chinese pouring flamethrowers from the hill.
“shit! It’s a flamethrower!”
“Joseph! zone! Suppression fire! right now!”
“The enemy shoots again! Get down!”
– Kwaang! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
– 6 enemy tanks approaching! I’m stopping you with a recoilless gun! Damn, where the hell is the support?!
The radio is urgent, and gunshots and gunshots ring like crazy.
“Call for an air strike! I want you to destroy this neighborhood!”
– It seems that it will take about 20 minutes… to reach the sky.
“Put it away! 20 minutes? In less than three minutes, we’ll all be dead!”
-I will do my best.
“Damn it… it looks like we’re all going to die here.”
-bang!
In an instant, the enemy who was shooting the flamethrower fell.
“Kill the flamethrower!”
“Forward! Advance! Recover the battery!”
When the flamethrowers, who had been limiting their advance, fell, several Americans rushed forward.
And immediately turned the flames on.
“Damn! There wasn’t one flamethrower!”
“There is one more! 11 o’clock!”
“I can’t catch it with a bullet because I’m on a rock!”
“Throw the grenade! Idiot!”
“You bastard! If we throw a grenade while we’re on the low ground, will it roll down or explode quietly? Think and tell me!”
“Oh, yes.”
“Yeah, that’s right! Does anyone have a grenade?”
“Aren’t those guys who had them all shot and searched before?”
right.
“Is there no one who can hit him? You got that rotten bastard right!”
“That flamethrower can only fire a few dozen seconds at most! If that bastard runs out of fuel, then let’s charge!”
“Wait a minute, I think I can hit it.”
“Yes?”
-bang! bang!
A scream rang out as the hand that had been exposed outside holding the nozzle broke.
“Now! in action!”
The sergeant ran out and gave him eternal rest by putting two 45-caliber bullets in the chest of the enemy whose wrist had been completely shattered.
“charge! Kick the chinks in the ass!”
