Chapter 454: Fighting 2 games at the same time?
Because of the order from the Russian Far East Military Region, Ilderov quickly gathered all his troops and abandoned all the defense lines built before. This guy was very courageous and did not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. All the troops quickly retreated to Mandal in the central part of the Outer Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu army and the Rakshasa army had no desire to fight. All they heard from everywhere was news of failure. Who had the time to fight Li Shaoyi's army to the death? Now that they received the order to retreat, they all ran to the rear as if their butts were on fire.
Tang Guoping led his troops in pursuit for a whole day, covering a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, but they only captured some small fish and shrimps that had fallen behind. The large army's rushing power was still good. After all, this was the Huns' hometown. When they galloped on horseback, our mechanical power was still insufficient.
Fortunately, Li Shaoyi's order also came down, ordering Tang Guoping to lead his troops to set up camp 300 miles northwest of Sayinshanda.
The Rakshasa people are mobilizing their troops, so we have to mobilize our troops too. When fighting on such a vast grassland, insufficient troops are a big taboo in military strategy.
Although it is impossible to occupy the entire grassland, key transportation routes must be occupied, as well as some water sources. These are the most important places to control the grassland.
Sukhbaru was also very busy. He specially formed a liaison team of 3,000 people and sent it to various troops to serve as guides for the brothers of the 72nd Division.
Before, Sukhbaru was a little confused, but now he is no longer confused. He believes that all the Huns can only have a bright future if they follow Li Shaoyi.
Take the current territory of Prince Kangying for example. All the land has been declared to be nationalized. Everyone can graze on this land and only needs to pay a little more than one-tenth of the harvest as taxes every year.
Although Sukhbaru's own interests were damaged, among all the people on the grassland, the vast majority still supported Li Shaoyi's policies, and Li Shaoyi also made a promise that unless a major incident occurred, the tax rate would remain unchanged for at least ten years.
Even in modern society, such places need subsidies from the government. Now Li Shaoyi does not need subsidies, and can still collect some taxes a year. This is already quite difficult. What else does he need a bicycle for?
At the same time, a photo published in the Capital Daily of the United States of America also brought Li Shaoyi to the attention of people all over the world. On the red map of the Huns, a green area appeared on the southeast side and was marked as the land of democracy.
According to Li Shaoyi's preference, of course he likes red, but this is a newspaper of the American people after all, and they will not cater to you.
The other countries also began to re-examine Li Shaoyi. They had previously thought that Li Shaoyi would cause trouble in the Xiongnu, but they did not expect it to be so big. Now, he has occupied hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and he can occupy it at will...
The Outer Xiongnu has a total of 1.56 million square kilometers of land, and Li Shaoyi now occupies nearly 15% of it. According to Westerners, Li Shaoyi has already torn a hole in the Russian front line and is a democratic fighter admired by the whole world.
Media from various countries also praised Li Shaoyi. They had criticized him for the inhumane things he had done to the Japanese before, but now it seems that they have forgotten everything, as if those things had never happened.
Li Shaoyi is now full of advantages. Even some so-called democrats from various countries are prepared to donate money and materials to Li Shaoyi to support his future democratic struggle.
Under Li Shaoyi's instructions, Natasha also sent her subordinates to various countries to specifically promote such donations.
In less than a week, Li Shaoyi spent millions of dollars on activities, but the profits brought in were staggering.
In the capital of the United States alone, donations from all walks of life exceeded 1.4 million oceans, and this was within just one week.
Li Shaoyi also knew that it was impossible for all the money to come into his hands, but even if only a part of it came, it would be a huge aid to us.
The Junkers were even more thorough, directly asking Rheinmetall to help Li Shaoyi build two steel blast furnaces in Chahar.
Junkers provided full funding for both equipment and personnel.
It seemed that the whole world was messed up by Li Shaoyi. Most people supported Li Shaoyi, except for the entire Luosha group, which was extremely angry.
Of course there is another kind of happiness, that is the Japanese.
The plan to shift the disaster eastward was finally successful. If Li Shaoyi had continued to attack in the same way as before, the war would have soon reached the Northeast. They had also made a war assessment in private. With their strength, it would be really difficult to stop Li Shaoyi from drinking water in the Northeast.
The special envoy of the Russian Far East Military Region did not go to Li Shaoyi, knowing that it was useless to go. He flew to Fengtian as quickly as possible to hold talks with the senior officials of the Japanese Kwantung Army to discuss what had been agreed upon.
This news also reached Li Shaoyi's desk at the fastest speed. Although both parties kept it very secret, especially the Japanese, the whole world now supports Li Shaoyi in fighting Luosha. If you reach any agreement with Luosha, Western countries will be able to isolate Japan in an instant, which is something Japan cannot bear now.
At the headquarters in Saynshand, Li Shaoyi also convened an emergency meeting.
Zhang Maozi from the 4th Brigade and Zhao Tiezhu from the 3rd Brigade also arrived by plane.
More than 40% of the 36th Division of the National Army also arrived at Sayanshand and took on the defense tasks in the surrounding areas.
So when Zhao Tiezhu got off the plane and saw the Kuomintang uniforms in the distance, he thought he had come to the wrong place. After some explanation, he learned that the people from the 36th Division had been transferred here.
Zhao Tiezhu was feeling very sad at this moment. The 36th Division had no relationship with us, but they were able to stand guard at the front line, but our 3rd Brigade couldn't.
However, he also heard a rumor from the headquarters that the contact between Japan and Russia might increase the danger in Rehe, and part of the troops of the Third Brigade would be sent to Rehe.
In addition, there is Xia Guogui’s newly established independent brigade, and part of the troops are about to set off.
Many people were wondering, "Is Commander Li going to fight two wars simultaneously?" If so, we'd truly set a record. But then again, haven't we been breaking records daily since the day the 72nd Division was formed? This should be a common occurrence for us.
