Volume VIII 1352 As long as we can hold on

Next chapter

At this moment, on Tangwan Mountain, the Russian army's structure has completely collapsed, everyone has no intention of fighting, officers can't find their soldiers, and soldiers can't find their superiors.

If Luo Huo launched a large-scale attack at this moment, then this was really a good opportunity to completely annihilate the Russian army, but unfortunately before the war, the battle plan formulated by Xiao Letian and Luo Huo and others was to besiege and win with the minimum cost of casualties, which gave the Russian army a respite for more than half an hour.

Vinya, Hermansky, and Ekson, the three of them were the highest-ranking officers in the trapped Russian army, and they were also the backbone of the entire army, and when they heard the cries of the entire mountaintop, they knew that they couldn't go on like this, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hold this fortress at all.

Vinya said to the soldiers of the guard company, "All out, we have a meeting...... Tell the soldiers outside, crying doesn't solve anything, and if you want to live, you have to keep fighting......"

The soldiers rolled out of the makeshift command post, the armor where the gold was stored, and spread out military maps on the scattered gold chests.

"The matter has come to this, complaining can't solve any problems, we must find a way out for our brothers, who pays attention can speak freely!"

After a moment of silence, Exxon spoke, "The general is right, although the situation is grim now, it is not to the point of despair, we still have hope to leave alive......"

"What we can't get on the battlefield, we can get from the negotiation table, and now I can be sure that Xiao Lotian will definitely block the news to the outside world, because he wants to make the fruits of victory bigger in advance, and he is good at expanding his interests! I heard that the domestic paper money crisis in the Qing Dynasty is very strict, so the victory in this naval battle is destined to be a good opportunity for Xiao Letian to shear sheep!"

"He wants to get rich, and at the same time he doesn't want our diplomats to start negotiations with the Manchus, don't think that Xiao Lotian has nothing to be afraid of, only my analysis Xiao Lotian has two weaknesses now!"

"Oh, those two?" the officers asked in unison.

Exon hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Actually, what the two generals said before is not wrong, I came to East Asia this time with a secret order from His Majesty the Tsar...... Before the expedition, His Majesty appointed me as the Governor of the East of Tsarist Russia, with full authority to deal with the affairs of the Far East! Of course, this appointment should have been announced after we had successfully joined forces, but unfortunately this task could no longer be completed!"

"Before the expedition, I had a conversation with His Majesty, and we had deduced some countermeasures if the situation was not good, and the great Majesty was very wise, and he once said that if you are not in a good war, then there are two forces that can save you!"

"The first one is the British! Don't look at me that, although the British are enemies of us, they also do not want another powerful power to appear in East Asia, especially they do not want Chinese to challenge the maritime interests of the British Empire!"

"If Xiao Lotian wants to defeat the expeditionary force, then victory in naval battles is indispensable, but think about it, if Xiao Lotian has the strength to defeat the Russian Navy, then is he also a hidden danger for the British?"

"So once the situation is not good, we can temporarily form an alliance with the British, don't worry, the British will definitely help us, they want to support the hounds to balance our Tsarist Russia, but not to support a wild wolf that can eat itself! The newly appointed Prime Minister Benjamin has no good impression of Xiao Letian at all!"

"Your Majesty is really wise, it's amazing to be able to make such an arrangement before leaving!" everyone sighed.

"The second force is the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Don't think that the Manchu Qing are weak, in fact, even if they are just a group of earth dogs, as long as they are used properly, they can play a role! Those thugs in the Far East must rely on the manpower and material resources of the three provinces outside the Guanxi of the Qing Dynasty to solve the supply problem, and expect Xiao Letian's navy to transport them upwards? That is impossible......

"Xiao Letian's transport ship can only ensure the transportation of military supplies, so it has to be careful, and food, cloth, medicine, leather goods and even war horses?

?? We all need to transfer from the northeast, and if we can reach an alliance with the Manchus and cut off Xiao Letian's supply lines, then the crisis in the Far East will be solved!"

"If it is even possible, we will give up the layout in Xinjiang and use this chip to exchange with the Manchus in exchange for the Manchu Qing to send troops...... As long as you give a cold stab in the back at the most critical moment of the battle, it must be a very wonderful picture!"

"In a word, in order to keep the Far East, we can give up our interests in Xinjiang, and even the border line in the Far East can be renegotiated, as long as we can keep Vladivostok, as well as a continental passage to Vladivostok, and set aside land for the future Trans-Siberian Railway, then it is enough!"

"Nine years ago, when we were in the civil strife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we were given 1 million square kilometers of land, which was all for nothing, and now we give them 300,000 or 400,000 square kilometers, it doesn't matter! As long as the mainland passage and seaport are in our hands, it is enough!"

"When the railway is successfully built in the future, then a million troops will naturally be able to attack the Northeast in an all-round way, not to mention more than one million square kilometers, even the entire Northeast will be our ......."

"I came to the Far East, and His Majesty's wish is for me to spend my whole life in business, and finally lead my troops to attack under the Shanhai Pass, and sign a new national border with the Han people across the Great Wall, this is the only purpose of my coming to East Asia!"

"Huh...... The ideal is very ambitious, and it may take my whole life to accomplish it! But every qiē in front of me must keep the port and the future railway passage, which is the foundation of the qiē!"

There was a complete showdown with Axon, and the eyes of the officers present all lit up: "God! Do you divide the territory with the Chinese across the Great Wall? What a big strategy! For the sake of this plan, we will not hesitate to break our bones! It doesn't matter if the whole army is destroyed!"

"That's right! The north of the Great Wall is all the land of our Tsarist Russia, and all of them belong to His Majesty! Hahaha, when the time comes, half of the Bohai Bay will be our military port, and the whole of Korea will also be our sphere of influence!

Ackerson licked his chapped lips and said with a smile: "If the schedule is not wrong, there should be 100,000 Cossack cavalry from Central Asia on the steppe to the Far East, and in less than two months, 100,000 Cossacks will appear in the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River valleys, and then our crisis will be solved!"

"The only thing we have to do now is to hold this place for as long as we can, until the battleships that break through to pass the news to Beijing, until Ambassador Ulangori successfully conducts diplomatic good offices for us, or until 100,000 Cossack cavalry return to the Far East......"

"As long as we can hold it, as long as we can hold it!"
