If you can't take your own attitude when you ask for help from others, then I'm sorry. Huaguo is still too busy with his own affairs, why should he care about Mongolia? Who are you, you! Since you Mongolia is neither a compatriot nor an ally of China, why do you expect people to come to help you with a mouth? Even if you are an ally, it is impossible to help you unconditionally, and people must have the same benefits to send troops.

You only have one sentence of "past love" now, and you don't mention anything else, and you want to ask people to help you, what a big face! You don't have any sympathy for China, so why do you expect others to remember the so-called "affection" with you in the past?

What's more, your Mongolia has never officially declared its independence from China, and the signature of this letter asking for help is "Mongolia".

While begging people for help, but in words you have to trick people, if people are willing to help you, there will be ghosts! Who wants to be the big one?

Mongolia could not wait for reinforcements from China, so it could only fight the Russian army.

As expected before the war, Mongolia was completely no match for the Russian army, both in terms of numbers and weapons. Even if the Russian army has just experienced an internal friction and its vitality has been greatly damaged, it is still more than enough to deal with Mongolia.

With advanced weapons in hand, even if the number is far less than Mongolia, Russia will definitely not lose the battle, not to mention that Russia has dispatched so many troops.

As soon as Russia and Mongolia fought, the Mongol side was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and it was not at all an enemy of Russia. The scene in front of me is as if the Eight Kingdoms of the late Qing Dynasty - invasion - China have reappeared, and the Mongols have been slaughtered effortlessly by the Russians on their own territory, without any resistance but to flee or wait for death in vain - although only Russia is attacking them now, the situation has not changed.

On the first day of the war, the Mongols lost almost a quarter of their elite.

This result shocked the tribal leaders of the Mongols. Although he knew that the Mongol warriors would inevitably be defeated by the Russians with advanced weapons, he never imagined that the gap between the two sides would be so large. The Russian army shuttled among the Mongol troops, as if they were in a no-man's land.

In the past, the Mongols always felt that the Qing court was very embarrassed by the foreigners, but only now did they find that they only had to be ravaged by these foreigners. They laughed at the Qing court, and laughed at the fragmented Chinese regime bowing its head in front of one foreign power after another, but how strong could they be themselves? No, maybe they are worse than those Chinese regimes that once depended on foreigners for their survival!

At one time, they didn't value โ–กโ–ก weapons, thinking that with their own boasting of a war horse and the swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, it was enough to laugh at the battlefield. Reality gave them a slap in the face, suing them, and the qiฤ“ they were proud of were all outdated and eliminated. An enemy with an advanced weapon is enough to kill them in an instant.

In the face of absolute strength, any calculation is in vain, and any effort is in vain.

A strong sorrow welled up in the heart of the Mongol tribal leader, a kind of despair after seeing through the facts.

When he thought about how many people died in China when Western countries invaded China, he was shocked. There are only so many people in their tribe, if they follow this method, I am afraid that they will perish in a few days!

Yes, the Mongolian sons are all warriors, they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but they know that this is a war of extermination, and if they want to fight, they are not brave, but stupid. In particular, they are not without options.

Thinking of the Hua government, a trace of hesitation flashed in the hearts of the Mongolian tribal leaders. If they want the Chinese government to send troops to help this time, I am afraid that they must return to the Chinese country and recognize the leadership of the Chinese government over the entire Mongolian tribe. According to the strong tactics of the Chinese government, once they bow to the government, and want to stand on their own feet in the future, I am afraid that the hope is very slim.

However, if even the tribe no longer exists, is there any point in holding on to the name of a Mongolian state? Who would admit it? No, others will only think they are ridiculous!

All kinds of complicated feelings struggled and fermented in the hearts of the leaders of the Mongol tribal alliance, and in the end, he decided to return this decision to the leaders of all the tribes, and it was difficult for him alone to bear the future of the entire Mongolian tribe.

That night, the leaders of the various tribes of Mongolia gathered for an emergency meeting. At the meeting, the expressions of the leaders were very solemn, presumably they had a full understanding of the cruelty of this war.

The leader of the tribal alliance stepped aside after speaking his considerations, and the leaders of the remaining tribes argued.

"I don't agree to compromise with those Chinese! Even if we die, we Mongols will die on the battlefield! We are as free as the wind, and we don't want to be a dog for the Chinese people! โ€

"Against! If you want to die, don't drag everyone along! Dying on such a battlefield is not an honor, but a sorrow for our warriors! In my opinion, we should first find a way to get through the current calamity, and then think about the future! โ€

"Agreed! If you want to be independent, there will be opportunities in the future, not bad for a while! We must first show goodwill to the Chinese and let them help us avoid the massacre of the Russians! โ€

Survival is human instinct, and the vast majority of people will not give up their lives for some spiritual needs, so in the process of expressing their attitudes, most of them support asking for help from China.

If before the battle, they were still lucky, thinking that their tribe's troops might not be defeated so quickly, and even if they were defeated, there would not be any serious casualties, then, after today, they would not dare to have such thoughts again.

What lies before them is a choice between life and death.

If they don't call for help, their tribe will surely perish.

They had thought that their tribe was strong enough, but this was the first time they had truly realized how weak they were without the assistance of Hua. Under the offensive of the Russians, they could not do anything.

"My lord, are we not sending troops? The Mongols are no match for the Russians at all, and if they wait like this, I'm afraid it will ......"

The adjutant general said hesitantly to the main general.

Ever since receiving the news from Moscow, they have been ready to assemble on the Mongolian border so that they can join the fray at any time.

Before the war, the chief general had received a letter of help from the Mongols, but in the end he did not choose to send troops, and the lieutenant general understood this very well.

First, the Mongols do not regard the Chinese as their compatriots, and they still want to make an independent decision at this juncture, which is too difficult to distinguish the situation. Second, the war had not yet begun, and the Mongols did not suffer anything, and even if the Chinese came together to help, the Mongols would not be grateful, and the help of the Chinese would seem cheap and dispensable.

But now, the Mongols have tasted the pain of the flesh, and it can even be said that they have broken their muscles and bones. If the Mongols are equal in strength to the Russians, it doesn't matter if they drag it out any longer, the point is that the Mongols are no match for the Russians at all, and if they don't send troops to aid them, I'm afraid they will be killed by the Russians!

The adjutant general had no doubt that with the combat strength of his own army, he would definitely be able to take back Mongolia from the Russians in the end, but what was the use of this land if all the people who lived in it were dead? In the heart of the adjutant general, even if the Mongols turn their faces and deny people, they are no longer things, they are also compatriots, and they can teach them a lesson, but they can't tolerate Lao Maozi bullying, let alone watching them die.

His mind was not complicated, and the Lord would fully understand his thoughts, but there were some tactical things that he could not explain to his subordinates in too much detail, so he just said: "Don't be impatient, it's not time for us to send troops." โ€

The discussion in the tent of the Chinese army did not carry a sense of urgency, and the atmosphere on the Mongol side was much more solemn than that. They have not yet been able to unify their opinions, and after all, there are only a very small number of people who support a bloody war with the Russians, and they only talk about it, and they don't know if they really have the same determination and respect for death as if they were at home. They have not yet made up their minds on whether to bow down to Hua in order to obtain Hua Guo's assistance. After the previous temptation, they also understood that if they did not show a little sincerity, the Chinese people would not help them lightly.

"Actually, in addition to taking refuge in the Chinese, we have another way." The leader of the tribal alliance who had been elected suddenly spoke.

"What's the solution?" The others asked busily.

"Surrender to the Russians. In this way, we do not have to depend on the Chinese people to survive, nor do we have to watch the tribes go to extinction, but nothing more than a force that has taken refuge in China and turned into Russia. But following the Russians, we still have hope of at least maintaining nominal independence. What do you think, how about this mention? โ€

The tribal leaders in the "......" tent were silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, this mention caused a huge backlash.

"No, Lao Tzu would rather die in battle than surrender to that group of Russians! So many brothers in our tribe have broken into their hands, if we surrender to them, how will we face the other brothers in the future? โ€

"That's right, those Russians are not a good thing, not to be trusted! They have been calculating our Mongolia from the very beginning, and sent someone to say some rhetoric to trick us into being cattle and horses for them, but fortunately, we saw through it in time, so we didn't fall into their trap. In my opinion, this war is simply a drama directed and acted by the Russians! They didn't calculate us last time, and this time they came to take revenge on us! If we surrender to them now, they will die laughing! โ€

"Moreover, after all, we killed the men of their mission, and even if we surrendered to them, they would not necessarily let us go. Compared to the Russians, I would rather surrender to the Chinese! "At least the Mongolians and the Chinese have been dealing with each other for so many years, and they know each other well. As for the Russians? Who can guarantee that they will not backtrack!

"Then it seems that there is no objection to this matter." The leader of the tribal alliance looked around, and finally said, "Then, immediately ask the Chinese people for help!" โ€
