Chapter 319: Towards Declining Russia
The war between the Chinese Empire and Russia has reached its fourth year, but in the last six months, the Russian blockade line has advanced less than 10 kilometers, and in some places, the blockade line has not only not advanced, but even retreated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the four-year Sino-Russian War, the losses of the Chinese Empire were much smaller than those of Russia, and the 100,000 cavalry troops of the Suzaku Army lost less than 10,000 people.
These co-operatives were recruited from the Mongol tribes living in Russia, and now they are fighting the Russians under the leadership of the Chinese Empire.
The area occupied by the Chinese Empire in Russia can only be called the occupation zone, the Chinese Empire has not yet included a large area of northern Asia into the national territory, the climate there is too bad, the Chinese are not suitable for living there, there are not many people willing to immigrate there, in this case, the empire does not need to rush to include it in the territorial category, and the Mongols living there are not nationals of the Chinese Empire.
Compared with the original more than 500,000 troops stationed on the border of more than 10,000 kilometers, it was obviously more cost-effective to send 100,000 cavalry to attack Russia, not only to drive the Russians back to Western Siberia, but also to loot the wealth of the Russians, which was enough to cover the military expenses of the Chinese Empire to wage war against Russia.
Many people in the Suzaku Legion proposed to destroy Russia directly, and in their opinion, Russia was really vulnerable.
Yan Xueyi also wants to destroy Russia, but now is not the time, and the Chinese Empire does not have enough strength to quickly eliminate Russia with a population of more than 100 million, not to mention that Russia has the support of Britain and France behind it, once Russia is to be wiped out by the Chinese Empire, I am afraid that Germany and the United States will support Russia.
The Chinese Empire was at ease in the Sino-Russian War, but Russia used the strength of the whole country to resist the Chinese Empire at the beginning of the war, but it was defeated one after another, and could only think of a way to advance step by step with the blockade line.
The way the blockade line advanced step by step was indeed very good, with the concerted efforts of the Russian upper echelons, the blockade line advanced rapidly, even if the cavalry and air force attacked, all blocked the advance of the tribal blockade, at the cost of countless Russians falling on the land of Western Siberia, but the dead were the lowest Russian people, and the Russian nobles did not care about them.
However, three years have passed, and the Russian aristocracy has understood that the Chinese Empire does not really want to start a war of annihilation against Russia, but only wants to drag Russia into the quagmire of war and let Russia continue to suffer internal friction.
The Russian aristocracy was afraid of the destruction of Russia, and could only use their savings to defend Russia, when they knew that the Chinese Empire did not want to destroy Russia, the Russian aristocracy retreated, in other words, they did not work, but more Russian nobles sought benefits in the war, and most of the resources of Britain and France to support Russia fell into the hands of the Russian nobles, and most of the resources sent to the West Siberian front were reduced.
In the beginning, the Russians who risked their lives to build the blockade were still well fed and clothed, but in the second half of the third year of the Sino-Russian War, food began to decrease, and warm clothing was reduced, and in winter, many Russians were frozen to death and starved to death because of the lack of warm clothing and food.
The Russians tried to escape, but were killed by the supervising Russian soldiers.
The Russian people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only continue to build the blockade under oppression, but the speed was greatly slowed down, and the Russian soldiers on guard did not care, as long as they went to work, they could repair as much as they wanted, and the Russian soldiers were tired of this kind of life, and they wanted to return to their warm homes, away from this damn war.
However, the living conditions of the Russian people have not changed, and an undercurrent is surging in the background.
Russia's European region and Russia's Western Siberian region are two worlds entirely.
With the assistance of Britain and France, various factories were established in the European region of Russia, and the ownership of these factories was in the hands of the Russian aristocracy, and the industrial products produced by the factories were not used to support the front, but to obtain a lot of benefits for the Russian aristocracy.
In this war that is almost related to the life and death of Russia, the Russian aristocracy is actually seeking benefits for themselves, which is simply an unimaginable thing, but the Russian aristocracy is doing this, wanting to get back their previous losses, and even gain more benefits, in front of interests, the Russian aristocracy has forgotten their homeland and only sees their immediate interests.
The Russian aristocracy had forgotten that tens of millions of square kilometers of land in Russia were occupied by the Chinese Empire, that more than a million Russians had fallen in Siberia, and that every day Russians were dying of exhaustion, starvation, and freezing.
For the Russian aristocracy, Western Siberia was just a barren land for the exile of criminals, and the Russian common people were just a consumable, and there were many of them in Russia.
Russia's interior is decaying rapidly, and Russia is in decline.
In 1883, under the leadership of Plekhanov, the first MKS-based political organization in Russia, the "Labor Liberation Society", was founded.
In May 1891, Lenin met with Plekhanov in Geneva and established contact with the "Society for the Liberation of Labour", and in the autumn of that year, Lenin returned to Russia and united the scattered MKSIST cells in Petersburg into the "Association for the Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class".
Fortunately, Lenin was not killed in the attack of the Chinese Empire, nor was he frozen, Russian, and exhausted, but Lenin, who was so tired that he remembered everything he saw with his eyes, decided to break it all and lead the toiling masses at the bottom of Russia to kill all the Russian nobles who were high up.
Of course, Lenin also hated the Chinese Empire, which brought suffering to the Russians, and Lenin had many brushes with death and was almost killed.
One day in October 1888, near a small station called Borki not far from Kharkov, due to the mistake of the railway staff, the special train of Tsar Alexander III was caused by the accident, which killed 23 people and injured 19 people, and the Tsar's family was safe and sound, but Alexander III suffered from the wind while helping his family to get out of danger, coupled with the psychological shadow caused by the accident, Alexander III fell ill, after which he began to secretly drink heavily and gradually distanced himself from state politics.
Now that Alexander III has entered the last days of his life, he can do nothing about the actions of the Russian aristocracy, and can only watch Russia go into decline.
