To be precise, to overthrow the tsarist regime.

The Chinese government made a clear announcement that this war would not end the war without completely overthrowing the tsarist government, so as to set a goal for the whole people. Why pulled Russia out, without mentioning another enemy, Britain, in fact, this is simply a defeat of the sailors.

According to Zhou Lang, Britain is ten times more dangerous than Russia, and Britain is China's all-round competitor. After China began to enter the modern industrial society, Russia was no longer a threat. To put it mildly, this war is another war between Britain and China for hegemony, and Russia is just a thug of the British.

It is indeed unreasonable to turn a blind eye to the master, but to bring out the thugs and threaten them.

But there is no way, it can't destroy the British Navy, but it declares that it wants to destroy Britain, so it can only make itself unable to get off the stage.

When the Chinese sailors received this information, they felt a great humiliation, but they could not do anything, because there was basically no hope of a decisive victory in the naval battle between them and the British.

Unlike fierce land battles, naval battles were oppressive from the start. The navies of both sides have mobilized, China has launched a large number of battleships on the slipway, and the same is true for the United Kingdom, and as an old navy, Britain also has a large number of mothballed old ships, which have also been re-entered service, so that the British navy has expanded rapidly, and even China can not maintain twice the advantage with the United Kingdom, at the minimum, the number of British battleships reached two-thirds of the number of China, but with the continuous launch of China's new ships, this balance has been restored to the level of two to one.

The number of battleships was twice that of the other side, and it was said that in the naval contest with the main firepower, the Chinese naval division should be able to completely suppress the British, but in fact it never achieved any decent victory.

At the beginning of the war, hundreds of battleships of the naval division entered the Indian Ocean, and the British and Indian fleets withdrew before the war, ceding control of the Indian Ocean to the Chinese fleet, which was similar to the situation in the last major war between the two sides.

But it is obviously impossible for China to accept the situation like the last war, so the naval division has a follow-up plan, but the naval battle is not a land war, and it is impossible to push all the troops up to the decisive battle without scruples, and the naval war has the rules to be followed in the naval battle. Although China has many warships, it also needs to maintain more sea routes, and China needs to control the security of the Pacific Ocean, and the area of this ocean needs to occupy most of China's maritime power. The warships that can be used are up to 100 battleships.

That is why, in the Napoleonic Wars, except for the encounter of Trafalgar, no sea battles broke out between Britain and France, not because Britain did not want to take the initiative to annihilate the main force of the French fleet, but because the sea was too big, and the British did not have the ability to always maintain a large fleet, and they needed to disperse to escort them. Trafalgar was encountered, and the vast majority of the two sides could only attack each other's merchant ships.

This is also the case with the Chinese foreign sailors, but this time they have a complete plan, they will not be able to catch the main force of the British navy in the vast Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but it will be much easier to put it in the Mediterranean, there are a large number of islands in this closed sea, and the straits where they must pass can easily block the British fleet. And the British Navy was not the French Navy, even if they were at a disadvantage, the British Navy's sense of honor did not allow them to escape, but took the initiative to attack. Therefore, it is possible for the two sides to start a battleship decisive battle at sea.

Therefore, after obtaining sea control in the Indian Ocean, the main force of the naval division handed over the task of cruising in the Indian Ocean to the fleets of European companies and African companies, and the main force was transferred to Europe, through the Suez Canal, and assembled on the island of Crete. It was easy to drive the British Navy out of the Eastern Mediterranean east of Crete, and even the fleet bombed the British-occupied Cyprus, but the operation to capture Cyprus failed, and three battleships were lost.

The choice of the sailors for a decisive battle in the Mediterranean was very correct, and the level of training of the British army has always been world-class, not to mention the army, let alone the navy. The army was still a temporary recruit, while the navy was the real standing army of Britain. To this day, the British continue to lead the trend of the world's navy, and there is still a certain technological gap between China's naval divisions and the British. It is not the gap in weapons technology, but the gap in management technology, the management of the fleet, the management of sailors, these are all different from the British.

So the Mediterranean Sea is a more suitable place, as there are few major winds and waves, thus greatly offsetting the skilful piloting skills of British naval officers and their ability to adapt to the sea.

Therefore, the preset decisive battlefield has always been the Mediterranean. And the British could not give up this place, this is the closest shipping route to the British, and by giving up here, China's threat to Britain will be further advanced.

In view of this, after taking control of the sea supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean, the Chinese fleet continued to enter the Mediterranean, finally amassing 110 battleships, and then struck the target, the British military base of Malta.

The Strait of Tunis, an important passage between the east and west of the Mediterranean, had to pass through, and Britain had a serious political crisis with Russia for this purpose, which caused the Russians to withdraw from the war against France for a time.

As long as the British did not want to give up here, they had to fight the Chinese fleet in a decisive battle.

The British did not want to strike at the Chinese naval power in a big battle, so both sides guessed the countermeasures of the other, and the Chinese fleet approached Malta, and the British navy was assembled in Malta.

Finally, in the waters of Malta, the largest naval battle in history broke out, with 110 Chinese battleships of various types, and the British excluded 70, but they were supported by 30 Spanish battleships, and the number of warships on both sides was roughly equal.

The naval battle lasted for three days, and the British were never able to mobilize the Chinese fleet with their dazzling sea maneuvers, and the two sides kept their battleships for a head-on engagement. As a result of decades of naval innovation, explosive bomb technology, which had been rejected by the Navy in the past because it was not very reliable, was introduced into the Navy, making this naval battle completely different from the technology during the Battle of Trafalgar.

Both sides were heavily equipped with artillery that fired explosive shells developed by Henri Joseph Péxan, a French artillery officer, after the Napoleonic Wars. This kind of artillery has a clear destructive effect on wooden ships, and the Russians have shocked the world by destroying the Ottoman battlefleet with this kind of cannon in history.

This kind of artillery made this naval battle a disaster, a large number of warships were sunk on both sides, and the Chinese fleet lost thirty battleships of various types, of which three of the six first-class battleships were sunk and two were seriously damaged; The British-Spanish combined fleet was not much better, they lost twenty-eight battleships of various types, and a total of three Spanish first-class battleships were destroyed.

This naval battle shocked the world and made everyone begin to realize that artillery technology has completely destroyed centuries of warship construction technology, and if warships do not continue to innovate, the navy will soon be reduced to an obsolete service, and the navy will completely lose its military value, and can only become a tool for escorting and dealing with pirates, and no longer have a threat to land.

After the naval battle, the sailors were extremely depressed, and they had to admit that seizing sea supremacy and escorting the army to land in Britain was no longer a realistic plan. Because even if the British Navy could be destroyed through attrition, in the landing operation, the Navy would not be able to suppress the fire of the army and batteries that fired explosive bombs, and the landing would be a disaster.

After the Battle of Malta, the naval battle between China and Britain in the Mediterranean continued, but both sides invariably gave up the choice of the main decisive battle, and the price was too heavy for dozens of battleships to be silent, and neither country could afford it. Britain chose to rely more on the Malta base to prevent the Chinese fleet from entering the western Mediterranean. After encountering the Chinese fleet, it also used the fire support of the Maltese fortress to resist the offensive of the Chinese fleet, which had a greater advantage.

The Chinese fleet could not capture Malta, and therefore could not enter the western Mediterranean, could not enter the Atlantic, and could not threaten the British mainland.

In this case, whether China accepts it or not, it can only face such an outcome, that is, it is no longer possible to directly defeat Britain, and the greatest victory that can be achieved in this war is to defeat Russia at most.

So at best, China could only announce that it would defeat Russia, and said nothing about Britain.

After the official announcement was issued, it actually forced itself to Liangshan, and this war would not end unless Russia was completely defeated. As long as this government exists, sooner or later, it will become a British thug again.

In order to solve the problem of the western border once and for all, it is necessary to completely destroy Russia.

But China's official statement did scare the tsarist government, and now they have to fight for their survival, and this is not an "anti-Zhou war" like the anti-French alliance, but a big war that Russia needs to fight for its own life and death.

The tsar was anxious about many scholars who studied China, hoping to analyze the truth or falsity of China's statement, whether it was a smoke bomb set by the Chinese, just to create a threat. Through the analysis of Chinese history, scholars believe that this statement is likely to be their true attitude. China's thinking of war is different from that of Westerners, who have been fighting wars for hundreds of years, but most of them are short-term wars, and both sides of the war are satisfied with the gains and losses of local territories and even individual interests, and only a handful of countries have disappeared.

The Chinese fight a war differently, one dozen is decades, and one dozen is a war to destroy the country.

But the Chinese are very cautious in waging war, and for a war, they can prepare for decades.

They gave a large number of examples.

The most classic are the battle of reunification, the pre-war separatist regime will often plan for several years or even decades, such as the Sui Dynasty's war to destroy Nanchen, a lot of preparations were made before the war, and the tactics of suspicious soldiers were adopted in the border areas, and every autumn harvest time, the army was assembled, and after Nanchen also stationed heavy troops, the Sui Dynasty disbanded the army, and so on and so on and so He also built warships in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to attract Chen Jun's attention. After preparing for many years, he published an article and destroyed Chen Guo in one go.

In fact, if the Russians study Chinese history more deeply, they will find that this tactic existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and under the guidance of Wu Zixu, Wu used this strategy to destroy Chu.

Russian experts believe that China's official statement is a document issued by them, and once this kind of document is published, it will definitely be implemented, otherwise it will not be able to give an explanation to the people.

That's why the tsar made a desperate gamble and mobilized 500,000 troops again, and was ready to mobilize more troops if the troops were insufficient.
