[Kavin, there are only two shifts for the time being]

The time has come to October, and the Suzaku Army of the Chinese Empire has wiped out more than 150,000 Russian troops one after another, and has entered the western Siberian region of Russia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Compared with Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia, Western Siberia has more Russians living in Western Siberia because of its proximity to the European region, and of course, there are many Mongolians who still speak Mongolian.

The news of the defeat of the Russian army at the front finally reached Moscow, Russia was shaken, Tsar Alexander III and a number of Russian high-ranking people did not expect that the Russian army in front would be defeated so quickly, the enemy had entered the Western Siberian region, and it was not far from Europe.

At this time, Russia was still in the midst of a silver crisis.

Now the whole world is in a panic under the silver crisis, and Russia, of course, is also affected by the silver crisis.

Russia is located in the far north, and Russia's huge land and population make Russia a great power, but its industry and economy are relatively average, and even so, the silver crisis has deeply affected Russia.

Russia's economy is already inferior to that of some other Western powers, and if it were devastated by the silver crisis, Russia's economy would be even more backward.

The most affected areas of the silver crisis are the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, and there are many large companies that go bankrupt every day.

The British and French governments are fighting the silver crisis with all their might, trying to save everything they can, and they have continued to support Russia, and they have also stopped for the time being.

In other words, Russia is now fighting against the Chinese Empire alone.

Tsar Alexander III also regretted it in his heart at this time, on the one hand, the army of the Chinese Empire, on the other hand, the silver crisis, the double crisis, which made the whole of Russia a little tired.

Not to mention the silver crisis, other Western countries are also struggling with the silver crisis, and Russia is not immune to it.

The army of the Chinese Empire has entered Western Siberia, and a large part of the Russian territory has fallen, and if the army of the Chinese Empire hits the elite area of Russia, then Russia will be in danger.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, Alexander III, as the Tsar, the supreme emperor of Russia, had his own pride, and he would not easily bow to the yellow-skinned monkey he was talking about.

Alexander III decided to fight, to the end.

The choice of Alexander III was equally the choice of the majority of the Russian nobility, and the opinion of ordinary Russians could be ignored.

The Russian aristocracy also did not want Russia to be defeated by the Chinese Empire.

Even though the silver crisis was still raging, the whole of Russia was already moving to defeat the Chinese Empire.

However, the defeat on the battlefield ahead was a headache for the Russian leadership.

"How to defeat the Chinese Empire?"

Russia has been equipped with a large number of new weapons, which is logically not far from the army of the Chinese Empire, and the army of the Chinese Empire is mostly cavalry. How can an army be defeated again and again?

In the end, the reason was found, it was the airship of the Chinese Empire that made Russia. The army faced defeat every time.

The anti-aircraft artillery aided by Britain and France was of no use at all, they could not hit airships flying high in the air, and airships flying high in the air could drop bombs on the ground at will.

In the Kremlin, Alexander III and the Russian top brass repeatedly discussed how to defeat the Chinese Empire.

To defeat the Chinese Empire, it is necessary to solve the airships of the Chinese Empire first, but Britain and France cannot solve this problem, they can only make anti-aircraft artillery passive defense, and the anti-aircraft artillery currently owned by Russia is modified from other types of artillery, and the range is too low.

Britain and France have produced specialized anti-aircraft artillery with a range of more than 4,500 meters, which is exactly what Russia needs, Russia needs to get new anti-aircraft artillery from Britain and France, or to get this technology to its disposal, and Russia itself needs to study anti-aircraft artillery.

However, the Russian high-ranking officials also know that the current anti-aircraft artillery cannot solve the problem of airships, and it is said that the airships of the Chinese Empire can fly at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.

Something is better than nothing, and sooner or later it will be possible to create anti-aircraft artillery with a sufficient range.

The rest is to face the cavalry units of the Chinese Empire, the cavalry troops are maneuvering fast, and it is difficult for the Russian troops to catch up, and Russia also has cavalry units, and the Russian Cossack cavalry is very famous, but the Cossack cavalry cannot confront the cavalry of the Chinese Empire.

Then a Russian minister finally came up with an idea: the Asian part of our territory is vast and sparsely populated, and it is difficult to resist the cavalry of the Chinese Empire, we can build a large number of fortresses that can defend against airship bombardment, and then send the nationals who have migrated to Europe to the Asian region, as long as there are enough nationals to back up, it means that we have a large number of reserve soldiers, equipped with rifles, and a few simple trainings, we are qualified soldiers, in addition, we can also use a large number of mines, barbed wire to create no man's land, and connect with strong fortresses, Form a defensive line to block the advance of the cavalry, and then gradually advance the line to the east, which can drive the cavalry away.

This method is indeed an effective method against cavalry, but it also has a huge drawback: it takes time, a lot of time.

It takes a lot of time to build a strong fortress, and if it can withstand the bombardment of airships, it will require a lot of steel and concrete.

The Trans-Siberian Railway had not yet been built over long distances, and the vast amount of steel and cement needed to build the fortress had to be transported by rail.

Time!

The cavalry of the Chinese Empire has already entered Western Siberia, where did it come from so much time.

But now Russia has no way to stop the advance of the cavalry of the Chinese Empire, and if it sends a large army, it will only be crushed under the bombardment of the Chinese Empire's airships.

"Why doesn't Russia have such a powerful airship?" Such a question mark appeared in the minds of the Russian top brass who had a headache.

It is a pity that Russia does not have airships, and Britain and France do not have such powerful airships, which are only owned by the Chinese Empire in the world.

Although the intelligence department of the Chinese Empire is half developed abroad, it can be called a behemoth at home, especially in an important area such as Yuanhe City, and it is impossible for foreign forces to escape the eyes of the Ministry of Intelligence.

In the end, Alexander III decided to use this method, which was not a solution, and there were not many people in the eastern part of Western Siberia anyway, as long as the western region was quickly laid with barbed wire and mines, then everything was still in time.

It was a shame that a single Russian aristocracy wanted Russia to be defeated by the Chinese Empire, as a barbed wire and mines began to be produced in Russian factories, and a large number of steel and cement were being shipped to the Western Siberian region, and the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway was further accelerated.

At the same time, Russia mobilized more troops into Western Siberia.
