Chapter 458: Tsarist Russia's Countermeasures



Livorsky replied: "Your Majesty, our war has actually been launched in a bit of a hurry, now our Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been completed, our troops on the Western Front cannot be quickly transported to the Far East, if you want to transport it by sea and land, you have to sail more than 10,000 miles to be able to reach it, it is not at all feasible in the short term, and it is impossible to transport hundreds of thousands of troops over, once Vladivostok is lost, then we have no way to retreat, there is only one way to go, that is - peace!" ”

Vladivostok, two hundred years ago, was just a small fishing town. At that time, it was still the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty, located at the easternmost point of China's territory.

However, in 1860, the British and French forces fought the second Opium War with China, and Tsarist Russia took advantage of the Qing government's lack of time to look north, and took the northern half of the entire Heilongjiang River basin as its own.

After Russia incorporated Vladivostok into its territory, it continued to be built here for decades, making it the most important military town in the entire Siberian region of Tsarist Russia and the largest naval base of the Russian Pacific Fleet.

The army and navy stationed in Vladivostok all year round have more than 120,000 troops, forming a powerful strategic deterrent in Northeast Asia

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Vladivostok was the strategic guarantee of Tsarist Russia's interests in the Far East, the strategic fulcrum of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, and the war fortress of Tsarist Russia to show off its force!

Now Vladivostok is completely different, the whole Vladivostok fell into a panic, and the Russian army on the front line was defeated by the Qing army in Heilongjiang, and the army was defeated.

In today's city of Vladivostok, the information that the Chinese Tiger's army is going to besiege Vladivostok is spreading, and the most serious even people say that the Chinese Tiger personally commands, more than 100,000 elite troops are already on the way, and they will be able to reach Vladivostok in three or four days, and then the entire Vladivostok will be shrouded in war, not to mention that the army in Vladivostok, even the Pacific Fleet, will not be able to protect Vladivostok, and even the Pacific Fleet will be driven to the sea by the Qing army, and there is nowhere to stay!

The people of Vladivostok were panicked, and the entire Russian army fell into a panic, after all, over the years, they have done too many bad things in the three provinces outside the Guanwai, and their crimes are simply unspeakable! If the Chinese tigers occupy Vladivostok, where will they still be able to survive? In the Eastern Siberian Governor's Palace, Kuropatkin was half-lying on the bed, his injuries were far from recovering, if it weren't for Zhang Yihu's distance at that time, he was afraid that he would have died a long time ago, even so, now he is unable to move.

In the bedroom, all the high-ranking military generals of the Siberian region are now standing, and all of them are gathered here to discuss the countermeasures for the future Sino-Russian war.

"Ahem......" Kuropatkin coughed incessantly, and Zhang Yihu's last shot hit the edge of his lung, making it difficult for him to breathe all the time.

Kuropatkin said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the situation is already obvious, unless the Cossack cavalry of Commander Linevich can break through the Shanhai Pass in time, we will definitely lose this battle. It's all my fault, after this battle, the casualties of the elite military forces in the Far East have exceeded two-thirds, and all the land forces together are less than 30,000 people, and there are more than 10,000 people in Jiamusi and Datong, who are tightly held back by the Chinese Tiger army, and they can't evacuate at all

。 Now the army in Vladivostok is less than 20,000 people, and the military strength is seriously insufficient, I have received information about Heilongjiang, and now Zhang Yihu, the commander-in-chief of Heilongjiang, has gathered about 50,000 troops from four divisions, trying to besiege Vladivostok with all his might, and take Vladivostok into his pocket, everyone, Vladivostok is the only maritime gateway of our empire in the Far East, if it is lost like this, it will be too big a blow to the future of the empire, you say, how should we deal with it? ”

A Russian general stood up and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, with our strength now, we will definitely not be able to deal with the Qing army, no, it is the attack of the Chinese Republican ** team on land, our navy can gallop at will at sea, but it cannot give me effective support at all." Once they landed in battle, they would not be able to exert the strength of even a reinforced regiment. Now our only option is to recall the armies of Jiamusi and Datong, defend Vladivostok with all our might, and at the same time send an urgent telegram to His Majesty the Tsar, asking him to mobilize a large army to provide military assistance to us, without foreign forces, we will definitely not be able to deal with the attack of 50,000 or 60,000 troops! ”

Kuropatkin sighed and said, "Tosvich, is there any news from Your Majesty back from St. Petersburg now?" ”

Tosvich replied: "Your Excellency the Governor, Your Majesty has sent me a telegram back, expressing strong anger and dissatisfaction with our defeat at the front, ordering us to crush the army of Heilongjiang and occupy Heilongjiang, which is the minimum he has given us, and at the same time he will urge General Linevich to speed up the attack on Shanhaiguan, take Shanhaiguan in the shortest possible time, and then take the train there and go straight to Guanwai." To achieve the situation of being flanked by the north and south, he demanded that we hold out for more than 40 days. Wait for General Lynevich to capture Shanhaiguan and go north! ”

"Capture Shanhaiguan?"

Kuropatkin smiled bitterly, Shanhaiguan is impregnable, it is one of the best military fortresses in the Qing Dynasty, and Lushunkou is known as the two major military fortresses on land and sea, only with 30,000 cavalry, there are no heavy weapons, it is not realistic to take Shanhaiguan in a short time!

Let yourself insist on holding Vladivostok for forty days, Your Majesty is talking in his dreams, with the current strength and morale of Vladivostok, without foreign aid, it is already the limit to be able to hold Vladivostok for a month, it is too difficult, and now the elite troops of the Chinese tiger Zhang Yi can be said to be pouring out, that is, to eat Vladivostok in one bite, Your Majesty, you got it and gave up Vladivostok like this? This is the patron saint of our interests in the Far East, and if it is lost, our control over the whole of Siberia will fall into total passivity!

Kuropatkin asked, "Tosvich, what else did Your Majesty say?" Tosvich said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty also said that he has made in-depth negotiations with the Japanese, and strongly asks the Japanese to send troops to Jilin or Mukden to defuse the tremendous military pressure that we are currently facing in Vladivostok. Kuropatkin's eyes lit up, if the Japanese army was willing to send troops, he would really be saved!
