After Li Hongzhang left, Qin Zheng immediately reported the results of the talks between the two to the Tianjin Executive Committee, and also mentioned that three days had passed since the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and the countries had not yet contacted the crossing group to discuss the reopening of negotiations, so whether the crossing group needed to take the initiative to contact the countries, after all, the crossing group could not afford to delay it now. Bayi Middle School ≈≤．

After the discussion of the Executive Committee, it was believed that it was possible to follow Li Hongzhang's suggestion to request the Qing court to be attached and negotiate with various countries at the same time, but these two must adhere to the principle of the traverser unswervingly, as for the countries have not yet contacted the traversal group, this is likely to be the strategy of the countries, playing the game of the silent man, and now the two sides have to compete with their own determination, so at this time, the traverser does not need to take the initiative to contact the countries, but what he should do.

At present, there are a large number of basic projects going on in both Tianjin and Qingdao, and after the victory of the Shanhaiguan Battle, it is unlikely that there will be any accidents to interrupt the construction of the crossing group, so it is completely possible to negotiate with the Qing court and other countries while developing itself, and even restart the expansion plan of the Shandong Peninsula that was stopped by the war, so that both sides will not be delayed, and there is no need to worry about the deliberate delay of various countries.

After receiving the reply from the Executive Committee, Qin Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Executive Committee does have a more far-reaching view than himself, so he no longer cares about the actions of various countries, and still tries his best to publicize the victory of the Battle of Shanhaiguan in Shanghai, waiting for the reaction of various countries.

In fact, the countries are not in the mood to play any game of silence with the time-traveler now, and the reason why they have not contacted the time-traveler for a long time is completely dragged down by Russia.

The shock brought by the first battle of Shanhaiguan to various countries is far greater than that of people from all walks of life in Shanghai, because no one thought that overseas Chinese would be able to defeat the Russian army so cleanly, and as time went by, in addition to the tactics adopted by the People's Army in the Deng 6 operation, the detailed results were also announced, 32,000 Russian troops, only more than 6,000 people remained, no matter from that point of view, this is a fiasco, and it is also a result that no one expected.

You must know that since the Napoleonic Wars, Russia has been one of the most powerful existential forces in the European Grand 6, just look at the nicknames that Russia has been crowned as "European Gendarme" and "European Steamroller". It was not until Russia's defeat in the Ninth Russo-Turkish War, coupled with the subsequent rise of German unification, that Russia's expansion was not forcibly reinstated, but then Russia won the Tenth Russo-Turkish War and entered into a global competition with Great Britain, so it remained a force that no country should take lightly. Although 32,000 Russian troops are not too many, it is not easy to defeat them, and it is not easy to defeat them in a war, and in people's memory, only Napoleon did it.

At this time, there were more than 8,000 troops from various countries in Shanghai, and naturally it was inevitable to discuss the tactics used by the overseas Chinese in this war, and almost all the officers admitted that the tactics used by the overseas Chinese were very exquisite, taking advantage of the superiority of sea supremacy, landing behind the Russian army, and attacking the Russian army on both sides with the army fighting head-on, and using ingenious tactical arrangements to make up for the lack of strength of the overseas Chinese. So it was a battle that went down in history like the Battle of Nikan and Napoleon's crossing of the Alps.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, the tactics used by overseas Chinese do not seem to be too commendable, because overseas Chinese have already gained sea supremacy, so it is very easy to project troops by sea. But only insiders know that the Deng 6 tactic is by no means a simple matter.

In this era, the main way to board the 6 was to lower the dinghy from the warship and have the soldiers row to the beach, but the operation of the 6 was not just to transport the soldiers to the shore, because war is a systematic matter, which requires the coordination, organization, and command of all aspects, so the army must have a perfect establishment. However, the disadvantage of this way of boarding 6 is that the troops are too scattered, such a small boat can generally only load one squad of soldiers, and because the degree of each small boat is different, there are first and last, so after docking, it takes a considerable amount of time to reorganize the team and restore the army establishment, so even in the daytime, the army board 6 combat is a rather complex tactical organization, let alone at night. This requires not only the commander's overall control and deployment of the army, but also the excellent quality of the soldiers, as well as rigorous training in peacetime.

Although there was only one regiment of troops in the 6th Deng, it was also quite an easy task to complete, and considering that the formation of the People's Army took only half a year at most, this also shows that the overseas Chinese should have a set of effective methods for the organization, training, and preparation of the army, and such an opponent should not be taken lightly.

However, no one would have thought that the KPA's Deng-6 was actually completed by the steam cushion boarding 6 boats, carrying one battalion at a time, and it took almost no time to organize, and the operation mainly relied on armored troops, which ensured the success of this Deng-6 operation, but these details were either hidden in the dark or ignored by researchers at this time.

Although it is only the overseas Chinese who unilaterally announce the results of the battle, and the countries do not have much doubt about this, such a major matter absolutely needs to be compared and confirmed from two aspects, so as soon as the results of the battle were announced by the traverser, the countries immediately confirmed the matter to the Russian consulate in Shanghai. Dmitriev also sent a telegram to the Russian army headquarters in Lushun to inquire about the battle situation as soon as possible.

However, Russia does not have such advanced communication equipment as the Traverser, and in northeast China, only a few cities such as Shenyang and Lushun have telegraphed, so the Russian army headquarters in Lushun has not received the news of the Russian army's defeat at this time, although it has not received the news of the frontline return for two or three consecutive days, and the Russian army headquarters in Lushun has also estimated that the war situation may be unfavorable to the Russian army, but it did not say to Dmitriev, only that the overseas Chinese are making rumors in an attempt to shake the military spirit of the Russian army, Dmitriev should not be fooled.

Of course, Dmitriev is not stupid, although Lushun insisted that this was fake news, but failed to provide details of the battle situation, only said that the Russian army was normal, and the rest only pushed it as a military secret, and could not say more, and he also understood in his heart that the Russian army was really in big trouble.

At first, the consulates of various countries were still a little skeptical, but as the overseas Chinese gradually announced the results of the war, Dmitriev could not come up with the overall situation of the battle, and could only prevaricate with military secrets.

However, the truth will always be revealed one day, and this day is not far away, because various countries have their own internal personnel in Shanhaiguan, Lushun, Jinzhou and other places, and confidential information may not be able to be inquired, but it is not difficult to inquire about the results of such a large-scale war. Therefore, after three or four days, the consulates could basically confirm that the results of the battle were basically the same as those announced by the overseas Chinese.

At this time, Dmitriev confirmed that the news of the defeat of the Russian army was impossible to conceal, and of course the result admitted by the Russian side was that although the Russian army was defeated, it still kept about 20,000 troops, not less than 6,000 as the overseas Chinese said. This is not to say that Russia still wants to hide a little face, but in fact it is for Japan. Now that the conflict between Russia and Japan on the Korean Peninsula has not ended, if Japan is told that the Russian army has suffered heavy losses in its southward marching troops, perhaps Japan will choose to resolve the conflict on the Korean Peninsula by force.

Of course, it is common for all countries to exaggerate their own achievements and reduce their losses, but no matter what the casualties of the Russian army are, the failure of the southward expansion plan is an undeniable fact, so all countries have also been officially confirmed, so the British consul Huo Bilan immediately proposed that an eight-nation meeting be convened immediately to discuss the next step of peace talks with overseas Chinese. In addition to the eight countries that participated in the invasion of China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and other countries that did not participate in the eight-nation coalition also asked to be heard, after all, the situation in China has reached this point, and the interests of all countries in China have been affected.

At the beginning of the meeting, Dmitriev made an impassioned and fiercely spoken speech, strongly condemning the violation of international conventions by overseas Chinese. In addition, all countries are required to mobilize troops from within the country, organize the second eight-nation coalition, attack China again, expand the scale of the war, and completely defeat the overseas Chinese.

After Dmitriev finished speaking, the consuls of the other countries looked at him like idiots, and Dmitriev's proposal had no possibility of winning the approval of the countries, and at this time it was impossible for the countries to organize a second eight-nation coalition, and the vast majority of Dmitriev's speech was almost exactly the same as the last time, except for the results. It seems that this guy is not only mentally faulty, but also a little too lazy to even bother to write a new speech.

Last time, Russia's action was to abandon the unilateral action of the Eight-Nation Alliance, send troops to the south, and attack Shanhaiguan, but this time it is to organize the second Eight-Nation Alliance. This is clearly that after the failure of the Russian army's southward advance, it was unable to fight against the overseas Chinese alone, so it wanted to pull all countries together to pay for the defeat of the Russian army.
