(Happy May Day to everyone)

In modern times, the Russian Empire used the Slavs to rebel, effectively shaking the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and also became the main reason for the continuous decline of the Ottoman Empire and the need for protection from Britain and France.

The Ottoman Empire was the younger brother of the British Empire, and when something went wrong, the Tsarist Empire naturally had to hold the British Empire accountable.

Now, it is the honeymoon period between Tsarist Russia and the British Empire, and the two sides, originally hostile countries, are walking together because they both have a common enemy, the Chinese Empire.

Of course, this coming together does not mean an alliance, the contradictions between Tsarist Russia and the British Empire in southern Europe and West Asia are acute, and it is impossible to form an alliance, but the interests of the two sides in the Asia-Pacific region are the same, that is, to overthrow the Chinese empire and carve up the Asia-Pacific colonies.

As Prime Minister of the British Empire, Benjamin faced the approach of a general election, but his plans to defeat the Chinese Empire and win re-election were disrupted by the Ottoman Empire.

In Serbia, the Slavs were frantically suppressed by the Ottoman army, and the originally hidden and very hidden mass graves were exposed one after another by "people with hearts", which instantly pushed the British Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire to the forefront of public opinion.

Whether it is the Tsarist Empire or the British Empire, it is impossible to hide the truth if you want to take into account the overall situation.

The Russian Empire threatened the Ottoman Empire with war, and at the same time, the British Empire and the Second French Empire sent official notes demanding explanations from Britain and France.

British Prime Minister Benjamin and French Emperor Napoleon III were quick to respond, not wanting another Russo-Turkish war to break out and demanding restraint on both sides.

However, the French Emperor Napoleon III was obviously not very concerned, because the Ottoman Empire was not as tame to France as it was to England, and relations between Russia and France were also strained.

Thereupon. Napoleon III condemned the Ottoman Empire without a sneer, and sat back to watch the show, and the burden of reconciliation with Tsarist Russia fell on British Prime Minister Benjamin.

Benjamin was so angry that the corners of his mouth were covered with fire bubbles overnight, if the Serbian incident could not be resolved, it would lead to the rapid outbreak of the Russian-Turkish war, and then the Tsarist Empire naturally had no energy to attack the Chinese Empire. In the end, only the British Empire was used against the entire Chinese Empire. Obviously, it will be very difficult, and even failing.

Benjamin sent the most stern note to the Ottoman consul in Britain and, through the British consul general in the Ottoman Empire, issued a stern warning to the Ottoman Empire, demanding that the Ottoman Empire immediately stop the massacre against the Slavs, otherwise it would seriously affect Anglo-Turkish relations and even become an enemy of the British Empire.

In the face of the British Empire's solemn warning, the Ottoman royal family also became nervous, but each country had its own core national interests, and the core interests of the Ottoman Empire were to completely eliminate the Slavs. Stop the population infiltration of the Tsarist Empire into the Ottoman Empire.

The cause of the incident soon became clear, a group of Slavs were bribed by a certain force to attack the Ottoman army, and at the same time killed the wife and children of the supreme commander of the Ottoman Western Military District, and an Ottoman army also received an order from the third prince Kaki at the same time to massacre the Serbian Slavs, and a fierce conflict broke out without explaining to the other, resulting in the slaughter of more than 100,000 people. In the end, the investigation committee found that the incident was very strange, and it seemed that there were hidden forces deliberately sowing discord. The bribery of the Ottoman royal family and part of the Ottoman army eventually led to the escalation of the incident.

Benjamin quickly sent a note to the consuls of the Russian and Ottoman Empires. It was conveyed that this matter was secretly instigated by a certain force, demanding that the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire calm down and reconcile.

However, even if the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire knew the truth at this moment, would they really sit down and reconcile?

What is Politics? What are the respective national core interests?

It was soon vividly embodied!

The Ottoman Empire had always been worried and frightened by the activities of the Slavs in its territory, but it had long been under the strategic influence of the British Empire to avoid a showdown with the Russian Empire. And the British Empire and the Tsarist Empire came closer because they were working together against the Chinese Empire. This is not in line with the national interests of the Ottoman Empire, and even seriously threatens the national security of the Ottoman Empire (your allies are colluding with your enemies, it is strange if you are not afraid, which is also the fundamental reason why the Ottoman Empire sided with the Allies in the world war, and the Russian-Turkish relations are irreconcilable. It will not be solved until the 21st century).

For the Tsarist Empire, cooperation with the British Empire can certainly profit in the Far East, but Tsarist Russia is a European country after all, and its core interests are in Europe. When Asian interests and European interests had to be chosen, the Tsarist Empire, of course, chose European interests. Now the Ottoman army has found a random excuse to massacre the Slavs, which must have taken into account the consideration of dealing with the Tsarist Empire, and the mass slaughter of the Slavs dealt a heavy blow to the Tsarist Empire's plan to disintegrate the Ottoman Empire, which was an unacceptable result for the Tsarist Empire.

Therefore, no matter how the British Empire adjusted, the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire would not budge, the Russo-Turkish war was inevitable, and it was only a matter of time before it broke out.

The Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D., which secretly manipulated all this, naturally did not give time for reconciliation negotiations between the British Empire, the Tsarist Empire, and the Turkish Empire.

Soon, a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took action, and they disguised themselves as Tsarist troops to attack the Ottoman army, and at the same time disguised as Ottoman troops to attack the Tsarist army, staging a bitter drama on the Russian-Turkish border, which immediately dragged the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire into a state of war.

The 10th Russo-Turkish War broke out, a year earlier than the original history.

"Report, the Prime Minister is not good, I just received an urgent telegram that the Tsarist Empire and the Turkish Empire are at war!"

"What-a-poof-"

When Benjamin heard the news, he immediately rolled his eyes and spurted out a mouthful of old blood (there should be 120 ambulances here, please make up for it yourself).

The capital of the Chinese Empire, the eighth round of Sino-Russian negotiations has just begun.

As the plenipotentiary representative of the Tsarist Empire, the military attaché and consul of the embassy in China, and a member of the imperial family, Colonel Alikoev, was negotiating with Zhang Peilun, the minister of the Imperial Court of China.

The two sides held talks on territorial issues such as Western Xinjiang, Mongolia, and the Far East Primorsky Prefecture, and the Tsarist side was naturally aggressive. Because 100,000 Tsarist Russian troops gathered in the western frontier, they were about to cooperate with the British Empire to attack the northwest border of the Chinese Empire. Alikoev had no fear, he knew that the Chinese Empire had insufficient troops in the northwest frontier, and it was difficult to supply logistics, and it would be difficult to stop the attack of the Anglo-Russian coalition army once the war started, so Alikoev wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. Coerced the Chinese Empire into concessions and surrendered the territory of the Far Eastern Primorsky Prefecture, which had previously occupied the Tsarist Russian Empire, and at the same time restored the Vladivostok Treaty signed between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty, ceding Vladivostok to the Tsarist Russian Empire.

If successful, the Russian Empire would return to the territory of the Primorsky State in the Far East and seize Vladivostok, the mouth of the Pacific Ocean, without a single soldier.

Opening an outlet to the Pacific Ocean has always been a long-cherished wish of successive tsars, and now that Alikoev is about to succeed, he is quite excited.

However, the other side of the negotiations. Zhang Peilun, the minister of the Imperial Court of China, today is unusual, and no longer shows weakness to Alikoev.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Alikoev, but my country will not agree to your country's conditions!"

"What? What did you say? Alikoev was a little uncomfortable, and snapped his ears and asked rhetorically.

"I will not agree to your country's conditions! If you don't have anything else, then that's the end of our negotiations! Zhang Peilun stood up very dragged and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Alikoev hurriedly stopped Zhang Peilun. Feeling that his brain hole was a little insufficient, he asked: "Are you saying that the conditions of the last negotiation are not accepted?" You will return only the territory of the Primorsky State. Do not cede Vladivostok? ”

In order to stabilize Tsarist Russia and delay the invasion of the Tsarist army into Western Xinjiang, Zhang Peilun kept releasing smokescreens to Alikoev, saying that Binhai Prefecture could be returned.

Zhang Peilun said: "I mean we don't have to negotiate, if you want to fight, just fight." We're here to the end! ”

This time, Alikoev understood that in the past month, the results of the negotiations between the two sides have been completely nullified.

This Nima is completely happy in vain!

Alikoev was very annoyed and said angrily: "I think Lord Zhang did not see the situation clearly, if the 100,000 Russian Imperial troops attacked the western frontier. I'm afraid you can't stop it. Coupled with the 250,000 British troops, you will not only lose the western frontier, but even the entire northwest will not be able to hold it. ”

Zhang Peilun sneered: "This is not for you to worry about, 250,000 British troops, in front of my Chinese Imperial Shence Army, but the generation of local chickens and dogs, if your army is not satisfied, you can make an appointment, and it is not bad for your two armies to hunt in the desert of Western Xinjiang." ”

Alikoev didn't understand why Zhang Peilun's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

It's greasy!

Alikoev felt that something was unusual, and soon an attendant hurriedly came to his ear and muttered, he knew that the Tsar had declared war on Ottoman Turkey, and the 10th Russo-Turkish War broke out, and the Tsarist Russian Ministry telegraphed to order the Kazakh Corps to stop attacking the Chinese Empire and transfer to the Russian-Turkish border battlefield.

"No wonder! No wonder Lord Zhang has no fear, but how can you be sure that our army will withdraw? What if we don't withdraw our troops? Do you still dare to talk to me like that? ”

Zhang Peilun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if your country doesn't withdraw its troops, it's a big deal to fight on two fronts." However, there are still two allies on the Ottoman side, Britain and France, do you think your Tsarist army can withstand it? The Crimean War is an example, you won't forget it! ”

Alikoev glared at Zhang Peilun fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, the eyes of both sides fought two world wars, and finally Alikoev was defeated and left the table angrily.

At the same time, in the Karakoram and Himalayan regions, the Chinese Imperial Shence Army had already exchanged fire with the invading British and Indian troops.

The two sides fought on the "roof of the world" and fought fiercely from the beginning.

Although the Chinese Imperial Army did not have as many troops as the British and Indian armies, it won because the army had high combat quality and advanced weapons and equipment, especially the power of the bloody heavy machine guns, and the British and Indian troops killed were bloody.

However, within a few days, the Chinese Imperial Army finally abandoned the first-line position and retreated to the second-line position because the position was built on the steep snow-capped mountain frozen soil, the weather was harsh, the transportation was inconvenient, and the ammunition was urgent, so as to stop the British and Indian troops one by one.

Although the British and Indian troops paid a heavy price, they were very happy to seize the front-line positions of the Chinese Imperial Army. However, they soon became unhappy. Because when they took control of the original front-line positions of the Chinese Imperial Army, they also faced the dilemma of harsh climate and inconvenient transportation.

The Anglo-Indian army did not have the hard-working spirit of the Chinese Imperial Army, and soon the offensive of the Anglo-Indian army was stopped because the supplies could not keep up.

Both the British Empire and the Chinese Empire misjudged the battle for the roof of the world in Western Xinjiang. The British Empire mobilized an army of 250,000 troops, and found that the war area was characterized by high mountains and narrow valleys, dangerous roads and dense forests, and a changeable climate. The average altitude is as high as 4,500 meters, the main peaks are above 6,000 meters, the surface is bare, snow all year round, severe lack of oxygen, and the climate is very cold. These harsh natural conditions and geographical environment have seriously affected the army's combat operations, and it is difficult for troops to assemble, move, command, and coordinate, the battlefield capacity is relatively small, the 250,000-strong army is completely unable to launch an attack formation, and the largest battle place can only be the strength of one regiment, and the numerical superiority of the British and Indian troops has not been reflected at all.

Similarly, the Chinese Empire has always believed that the number of troops is too small, and compared with the enemy's 250,000 troops, the Western Xinjiang Military Region has only 12,512 troops. From the very beginning, the Chinese Imperial War Department was worried about the lack of troops and the loss of fighting the enemy. However, when the two sides really exchanged fire, they found that only one company of troops needed to be deployed in valleys, passes, and other important places to block the enemy for several days, and let go of the first-line positions and retreated to the second-line positions, and found that the enemy's logistical supplies could not keep up.

As a result, overcoming the harsh natural environment became the key to the final victory of the two sides.

In this regard, the Chinese Imperial Army fought on its own territory and was widely supported by the Tibetan people, many of whom brought food and water to the soldiers of the Shence Army, and even helped transport weapons and ammunition.

As a result, the war between China and Britain in western Xinjiang has fallen into a stalemate, and no one expected this to be the result. In particular, the British Empire thought that the mobilization of 250,000 troops and a 25-fold superiority in strength would be enough to crush the Chinese Imperial Army, but it turned out to be a great disappointment.

At the same time, the Shence Army of the Five Towns in the Southwest Theater of the Chinese Imperial Army invaded the Bengal Gang, and the Indian Resistance Army rose up, and the war spread throughout India, which soon affected the rear supply lines of the British and Indian troops, forcing the British Army to transfer back a large number of troops from the Sino-Indian border to suppress it, which virtually reduced the pressure on the Chinese Imperial Army fighting in the western Xinjiang.
