Vasili Ivanovich trakov

Vasili Ivanovich trakov, born in Russia from February 12, 1900 to March 18, 1982, was an outstanding strategist and diplomat of the Soviet Union during the Second World War.

On the battlefield of World War, there are many brave generals who are good at fighting, but few of them have diplomatic career. One such general was Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov, the Soviet field marshal of the same age in the 20th century.

Army in troubled times

On February 12, 1900, the wind roared. A skinny baby boy named Vasili Ivanovich trakov was born in a small wooden house in the village of sherebyaneprud in the oeshetel valley of Tula Province, the Russian Empire. None of the villagers here expected that trikov, who was dying when he was born, would become a marshal who once dominated the fate of East Germany.

In 1912, due to his poor family, 12-year-old trikov had to drop out of school early, bid farewell to his parents and left his hometown, and went to the capital Petersburg to make a living alone. In the factory of Peter saweliev on Kazan street, he worked as a laborer to make horse piercing needles for czar officers. This laborious boy hopes that he can wear riding boots and horse piercing needles to make contributions to the battlefield one day.

Academic situation

In 1922, when the war stopped, trakov applied to study military theory systematically. He was very eager to enter the Military Academy of the Red Army. The predecessor of this academy is the Military Academy of the general staff of the Red Army, which was founded in September 1918. It is the founder of the Military Academy of the Soviet Union. In April 1924, Red Army General Fu Longzhi took the post of president of the Academy, which greatly improved the teaching standard of the Academy. In order to commemorate Fu Longzhi who died in 1925, the Academy was renamed as Fu Longzhi Military Academy in October of the same year. This academy has trained a large number of senior Soviet generals such as Zhukov and vasilevsky. In August 1922, trikov became a student of the fifth Military Academy of vorongzhi. In the past three years, trakov has been able to learn military theory systematically, which has greatly improved his military theory literacy on the basis of rich practical experience. In August 1925, trikov graduated as scheduled with the fifth phase of the cadets with excellent results. President Fu Longzhi sent a congratulatory message to the graduating cadets: "devote all our strength to the improvement of military skills and political awareness of the army."

Due to his excellent academic performance, trakov was decided to stay in the Chinese Department of Oriental Department for one year. The main task of the Oriental Department is to train a new generation of military diplomats, and the requirements for the trainees are very strict. During his study in the Chinese Department of the Oriental Department, trakov devoted a lot of time and energy to learning Chinese in China, and often went to narimanov Oriental University to discuss with Chinese students about China.

First mission

In the autumn of 1926, trikov, an intern in the Chinese Department of the Oriental Department of the volongzhi military academy, went to China as a diplomatic attendant with senior diplomat kroriko. In his first trip to China, he has been to Harbin, Changchun, Lushun, Dalian, Tianjin and Beijing. At this time, China was in the midst of war, and trikov deeply felt the suffering brought to the Chinese people by the war.

Second mission

In the autumn of 1927, trakov formally completed his studies in the Oriental Department of the Military Academy of vorongzhi and went to China again to serve as a military adviser. During his two-year tenure as a military adviser, trakov traveled all over North China, South China and Sichuan Province. He further deepened his understanding of China and learned to speak fluent Chinese.

enter a war

In 1929, there was a dispute between China and the Soviet Union on the Middle East Railway issue, and the situation became more and more serious. On July 13, the Soviet Union announced the severance of diplomatic relations with China, and trikov was ordered to return to China with Soviet diplomats. On August 6, the Military Commission of the Soviet Union established the Far East special group army, and appointed general buluher, who served as an adviser to Dr. Sun Yat sen in China from 1924 to 1927, as the commander of the group army; on August 15, the Soviet government issued an ultimatum to China. On the 16th, general Zhang Xueliang of Northeast China issued a mobilization order against the Soviet Union, deciding to use 60000 troops of the Northeast Army to fight against the Soviet army in the East and West. At this time, trekov, who had just returned home, was immediately ordered to go to Boli, the headquarters of the Far East special group army, where he was engaged in intelligence collection and collation, and was directly responsible for the commander of the group army, buluher. From October 10, China and the Soviet Union fought fiercely in Tongjiang and Fujin areas, the confluence of Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers, and the old northeast Chinese army was defeated. On November 17, the Soviet Army stormed Mishan area in the east of Heilongjiang Province, Manzhouli and Hailar areas in the west, and won again. The failure on the battlefield forced Zhang Xueliang to accept the Boli agreement. At the front line of the Sino Soviet war, trakov witnessed for the first time the great power of the Soviet infantry and chariot troops.

War experience

theoretical basis

On February 12, 1900, trakov was born into a peasant family in the village of sherebyaneprud, Tula Province, Russia. The poverty of his family made him run away from home when he was 12 years old. He came to Petersburg to earn a living and began to live on his own.

During this period, Russia was on the eve of increasingly sharp class contradictions and the outbreak of socialist revolution.

He had a lot of contact with the new ideas of the proletarian revolution. He read the Manifesto of the Communist Party and saw many Bolshevik newspapers and leaflets. His ideological awareness has been greatly improved. He once wrote in his memoirs: "at that time, I did not understand the profound theory in the Manifesto, but I deeply understood that the proletariat lost only shackles, and they would get the whole world. The working class will play a decisive role in the struggle against capitalists and landlords. "
