1686 Deadend
Andreev's face was tangled three times, and finally he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet fiercely and said, "Chinese is right, Ci is not in charge of the army! Since you are willing to jump into this fire pit, then don't blame me for my plan and hatred......"
"The situation is very clear now, surrender is the only way out, and the price of stubborn resistance is to slaughter the city! But at the same time, you don't want the empire to suffer huge losses......"
"There's only one way to do it...... Take Exxon to launch a breakout operation!As long as he accidentally dies in this operation...... Even if you surrender then, who will be able to sign a treaty to cede the land? We don't have any privileges!"
The originally warm weather suddenly blew a cold wind, and Vinya involuntarily fought a cold war: "The situation has reached this point?"
"Nonsense, what do you say, or you will suffocate him yourself, and then tell Chinese that he died of a violent illness in the vault, or simply a drug overdose......" Andreev sighed as he looked at the soldiers around him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"But looking at the current situation of this army, I'm afraid they can't do it, how can these newly liberated serfs be ruthless to His Majesty's relatives...... Only an accident came out during the breakout process, which is the most plausible excuse!"
Vinya knew that this was the best way, with the mentality of that young man of Ackerson, as long as it fell into the hands of the Chinese, he was not an opponent at all, Xiao Lotian was enough to play him to death, as long as he signed some treaties that were not conducive to the empire, then the lawsuit behind would not be easy to fight.
There is a saying in China that you can't pull back if you enter the public door with one word, and this is also the case in international conflicts.
The first point is that it cannot be defeated, and the mobilization of more than 100,000 regular troops from Western Europe to expedition to the East is a great adventure in itself, which consumes a huge amount of money, not to mention too much time, and at the same time interferes with many domestic economic recovery plans, and the empire's finances will have to be greatly adjusted.
After all this chaos, you may not be able to guarantee that you will win, in case you lose or play an undefeated stalemate, it will be a big show in the international community, God knows if other European powers will take advantage of your illness to stab you in the back.
The second point is that even if you can survive the war, what can you do? drain the empire's limited revenues, suspend industrialization, put the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway on hold, and freeze the purchase of serfs...... Stir up chaos in the country and then exchange it for a victory to reclaim the Far East?
Who will do this kind of loss-making business? Investing 100 million yuan and recovering the cost in the end is only 10 million, who will do this kind of idiotic thing?
In the final analysis, war is also a business, how much is invested and how much is finally output, it must be calculated, what is the short-term income, what is the long-term income, the calculation is clear, and then it can be started.
War is not a game of a madman, if war can solve all problems, the sun never sets, the empire will not have to fight every day? In fact, Britain has also made many concessions in the glorious past 300 years, and he has also suffered countless defeats and has not yet taken revenge in the end.
American independence, British invasion of Afghanistan, South African Boer riots...... It's not all smooth sailing in Britain either!
A country must not raise troops in anger, and it seems that it is a glorious time to fight a war with all its strength, but if this war loses money and loses its money, then your national strength will weaken rapidly, and it will also take advantage of other countries.
Why did the United States declare war at the last moment in World War I and World War II? In fact, this is the mentality of businessmen, let you bleed each other, I will do business behind my back, and when your blood is about to be drained, I will be able to control the situation of the war at will.
It is precisely because wars cannot be easily provoked that conflicts between countries are resolved at the negotiating table most of the time.
Mankind needs negotiation to resolve some minor conflicts, and war is used to resolve fundamental irreconcilable contradictions and major conflicts, so gradually some mutually recognized rules between countries have emerged, which is the prototype of international law.
Since mankind entered the Age of Discovery, the colonial era, the system of governors has been adopted by all enterprising countries, the power of the governor is unimaginable, military and political, civil, financial and even local laws can be determined in a word, this kind of governor is basically equivalent to the kings under the emperor.
Imagine that in the 18th century, London could directly manage the affairs of the Indian colonies? Maybe there was a great rebellion in India, and London thought that there was a great uprising there.
At this time, you have to give the governor the right to arbitrarily fight, fight when you should, cease fire when you need to cease fire, anyway, in the end you have to bring real benefits to the empire.
This kind of system runs through the entire era of human geographical discoveries, which is a system accepted by the entire European civilization, which has become a kind of conventional rule, and of course it can be said to be the prototype of international law.
Exxon was the supreme governor of the Far East appointed by the Tsar, he gave war orders to all the armies of the Far East to carry out, he ordered a cease-fire, no matter how angry the general was, he had to obey the order, he drew a line with a pencil on the map, saying that how much land to cede out would be recognized by all nations, and this was a legal legal document.
Vinya and Andreev will never allow such a thing to happen, Exxon can't even afford to lose a battle, he needs drugs to shock himself, and if he falls into the hands of the CIA, people will not be able to play him out.
The two muttered and discussed for a long time, and finally Vinya stomped her foot, "You go out and drag Chinese, I'll find a way to kill him here...... He must not be allowed to sign a surrender order, let alone be allowed to go to the negotiating table!"
"Okay, let's split up! But time is very short, I have spent half a month here from Vladivostok, God knows what happened to Fadeev, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night!"
"Hmm...... It's two o'clock in the afternoon, damn it, I'll do it tonight, use my cronies to force him to break through, kill him on the way to break out, and that's it!"
The two discussed and immediately parted ways, Wenya went to gather his cronies to study how to kidnap Exon, while Andreev went back to Sima Yun, Luo Huo and other generals to delay time.
After a while, Andreev, whose face was beaten into a pig's head, walked back to the Chinese position, Sima Yun and Luo Huo were discussing the military situation around the map at the moment, and when he looked up and saw Andreev, he was stunned.
"How? Didn't the persuasion succeed?"
