Chapter 164: The Four Kingdoms Divide China

France, Tsarist Russia, and the British all agreed to send troops, not to mention the British, who had to take the initiative to send troops before. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then a plan called "Operation to Exterminate the Han Dynasty" appeared, with the aim of destroying the Han Kingdom.

Now that the decision has been made to send troops, the four countries will continue to discuss how much to send.

On the Army side:

The French sent 20,000 troops to attack Yunan from Vietnam.

Tsarist Russia sent 100,000 troops, divided into three routes, and launched attacks on the northwest, Mongolia, and northeast regions of China.

He sent 50,000 troops to attack northeast China from Korea.

The British sent 75,000 troops (25,000 British troops and 50,000 Indian servants) to attack China's Xizang, Yunan, and Guangdong in three ways.

The Four-Nation Coalition attacked separately and did not command each other, but the commander-in-chief was British.

Navy:

The British Far East Fleet and the French Far East Fleet were the mainstays, and if necessary, they could attack Tianjin directly, and the commander of the combined fleet was the British.

(Note: Britain actually does not have the Far East Fleet, but is called TheChinastation, which translates to the Chinese Fleet, stationed in Hong Kong, which is considered a detachment of the Indian Fleet)

The Four-Nation Coalition was formally established.

With such a large number of troops, the four envoys believed that the battle would be won.

The envoy also gave advice to the Four-Nation Alliance: "Not long after the Han Kingdom overthrew the Manchu Dynasty, the foundation is unstable, and we use various ways to attract a group of people, which will definitely plunge the Han Kingdom into chaos and contain the forces of the Han Kingdom, so that we can win faster." ”

The envoy had a good idea, and the envoys of the other three countries nodded in agreement.

Of course, the meeting did not end there, there is a more important matter, that is, the division of interests, since the four-nation coalition will win, then the interests after the war need to be divided in advance, and there will be contradictions in the province at that time.

After some intense discussion by the envoys of the four countries, the division of interests was completed, and the criteria for division were based on the strength of each country and the situation of troops sent in this war.

The weakest of the forces will be given the Chinese Jijin, Mukden, and the coveted Taibend, covering an area of more than 800,000 square kilometers. (The area of Jiyuan in the Qing Dynasty was very large, including Sakhalin)

Tsarist Russia, which has sent the largest number of troops, will occupy a part of China's northwest, Outer Mongolia and Heilongjiang, covering an area of nearly 3 million square kilometers.

France will receive access to Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and part of Siqi in China.

Britain was the commander-in-chief of the Four-Nation Coalition and the initiator of the "Operation to Exterminate the Han Dynasty", so the British gained the most benefits, including a large area of Xiqiang, Guangdong, Fujian, Xixi, and Zhejiang.

As for the four countries to divide up the rest of China, after the four countries eliminated the Han Kingdom, the Manchu regime was re-propped up, after all, China was too big, and no one could swallow all of China at once, even if the four countries were on it together.

In addition, the four countries will divide up China's territory, and after the war, each will support a new regime to come out, and continue to convey various benefits to their respective countries.

After nearly a week of negotiations and quarrels, the "Operation to Exterminate the Han Dynasty" was finally formed, and the four countries discussed, and on August 1, they sent troops together to attack the Han Kingdom.

It seems that the envoys of the four countries, who have seen the scene of the partition of China after the victory of the war, specially held a grand ball, and the envoys of the four countries were so drunk that they inadvertently revealed part of the content of the "Operation to Exterminate the Han Dynasty".

The outside world was greatly surprised when they got the content of "Operation to Exterminate the Han Dynasty", even more surprised than the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they did not expect that Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and Yueben would jointly send troops to China to carve up China.

Some small countries that got the news were envious, and they knew that they had promised to send troops to China, but their country's troops in Asia were too small, so they could only send troops from Europe to Asia, but at that time, half a year had to pass, and the daylily was going to be cold.

Of course, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy and other big countries are also envious, but unfortunately they do not have this opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and can only watch Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and the four countries carve up China.

However, Wilhelm II, who had just succeeded to the throne as Emperor of the German Empire, had a thought in his heart: it would be better if the alliance of Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and Ben was defeated in China.

Wilhelm II thought about it, he knew that the army of the Han Kingdom was not weak, if Germany secretly helped, although it was impossible to defeat the four-nation alliance, but it was also possible to make Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and the four countries pay a huge price, if Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and the four countries suffered heavy losses, it would definitely be great news for Germany.

Wilhelm II hated the yellow race, but he could make Germany's opponents pay the price, and Germany could help the yellow people.

Just how should I help the Han Kingdom? Weapons? Instructor?

On this side, Wilhelm II was thinking about how to help the Han Kingdom, and on the other hand, Yan Xueyi also received information that the coalition forces of Britain, France, Tsarist Russia, and Yueben would launch an attack on the Han Kingdom in August.

The number of the Four-Nation Alliance is only more than 200,000, and the armed forces of the Han Kingdom are more than 300,000, but in the actual war, it cannot be compared in this way, after all, the strength of the Four-Nation Alliance is more concentrated than the Han Army, and the Han Army is a little scattered, and the situation of the Han Kingdom is a little bad.

Yan Xueyi is confident that the Han army can defeat many times the enemy, but the strength of the Han army is based on the condition that there is sufficient ammunition supply, once the Han army's ammunition is exhausted, the combat effectiveness of the Han army will be greatly reduced.

However, the logistics of the Han army had a big problem, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were produced at the Arsenal in Siqi Province, and it would take a lot of time to transport them to the various units of the Han army on the front line.

At this time, except for the four provinces of Siqi Province, which had been building a large number of railways and highways for more than four years by the Han Kingdom, most of the roads in other provinces were in very bad condition, and if it rained, it would be a tribulation.

Fortunately, there is good news from Changqing Oilfield, the first oil well has successfully produced oil, with a daily output of 27 tons of crude oil, which is nearly 10,000 tons of oil a year, and there will be more oil wells in the future, and an annual output of 10 million tons of oil is not a dream.

Crude oil is available, diesel will soon appear, the petrochemical plant is built in Yongyi City, and the railway to the Changqing oil field will not be opened until at least early July, which is the result of increased manpower and sectional day and night construction.

For the time being, the Changqing Oilfield can only reserve oil first, and when the railway is opened, a large amount of oil can be quickly transported to Yongyi City, and diesel fuel can be refined for airships, so that the Han army located on the border can have sufficient ammunition supplies.

"Hopefully everything will be in time!" Yan Xueyi sighed secretly, if it was too late, Yan Xueyi could only take action in person, using his ability space to send a large number of ammunition supplies to various places. (To be continued.) )
