Chapter 126: The Scales of Time

Wilhelm's servant immediately bought a shipment of arms at the Hooke Arsenal in Germany, which was destined for Switzerland, a neutral country at this time, so the shipment was immediately loaded onto the ship, but the ship did not sail to Switzerland, but went to Russia.

Sweden in Northern Europe, a cold country, has covered his glory in the dust of history, but Thor will never leave this land, as a coastal country, when the Netherlands and Britain were victorious, Sweden also had a strong navy, but Russia beat Sweden down with the advantage of his army, and he did not give in at all. He was waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

It was in this batch of munitions that Tsarist Russia urgently needed, so the Baltic Fleet of Tsarist Russia began to meet at the southern tip of Scandinavia for a long time, and when this fleet passed through the southern tip of Swedish territory, it was a safe strait every time, a calm strait every time, and a place downstream every time. This time, however, artillery fire rang out.

In this way, Sweden and Tsarist Russia declared war without declaring war, and the Swedish shore defense guns began to fire at the Russian warships, and such shore fire defense guns were to deal with the artillery fire prepared by the warships, plus the Russian warships did not expect Sweden to dare to fire at the Russian warships, so the Russian warships suffered losses immediately, and they could no longer pass through the Scanvia.

After the news came back to Tsarist Russia, Nicholas was very shocked, how could it be possible, how could a country like Sweden go against our empire! But that's what happened, and in the face of the interests of the country, any other emotion is so fragile.

In normal times, Nicholas would have sent a large army to crusade against Sweden, but now he has no troops to send, but if he does not send troops to crusade, he is conniving at this trouble!

In fact, this is not the worst news, the worst news is that the armies of Finland, Norway, Ottomans, and Poland have attacked the Russian border, and now Russia is like a big bear on the slaughter board, still struggling, if Nicholas II can't come up with a countermeasure, this giant bear that has grown up for more than 200 years will be in danger of being disintegrated!

Now Russia has been surrounded, and Russia is now almost cornered. Nicholas II put himself in the room, he hadn't summoned his ministers for two days, and now the second Far Eastern army of Tsarist Russia was already on its way, as long as this army could defeat China, none of these clowns were now a problem for Tsarist Russia, so Nicholas II was holding on.

At this time, Grand Duke Crazy Mitsui and Prince Yusupov came to see Nicholas II, the west, north and southwest of the current Tsarist Russia are all enemies, how to deal with it!

Their advice was not to throw more troops into the Chinese battlefield, but to turn the troops gathered in Moscow and St. Petersburg back to the western front!

But Nicholas II did not agree to this plan, and seeing her husband arguing with his cronies, his wife was very distressed, and he was the daughter of Queen Victoria, so he immediately wrote to his mother and his brothers and sisters, begging them if they could help her husband.

Guangxu in Xinjiang is still assembling the Chinese army, and the whole country is training the army, so all the soldiers who have been trained for three months have been sent to the battlefield, and Guangxu took this opportunity to immediately start the plan to expand the army.

The first is to expand the 503rd Division of the Fifth Army of the Army that attacked Fort Green into an army, Dong Jingang's performance in the whole battle was very outstanding, and when the gap in strength was quite large, he was still able to maintain great confidence and carry out the battle to the end, so Guangxu began to supplement Dong Jingang's new army 13th Army as soon as he received new recruits, and appointed Dong Jingang as the commander of the 13th Army.

And told this guy very clearly that before the reinforcements arrived, and when he did not receive the order to retreat, he must hold the fortress of Fort Green, otherwise military law will be engaged!

Dong Jingang just said yes! began to conscientiously carry out his own mission, and the practical results were very clear, and Dong Jingang was still very worthy of trust.

Guangxu also set up several other armies at the same time, Sun Jiangang's 2011th Brigade of the Guards, upgraded to the 8th Army of the Army, Sun Jiangang served as the commander, but there was still a very big gap in the strength of his army, so Guangxu decided to let the Eighth Army garrison in Xinjiang.

The 102nd Division of the First Division of the Imperial Army, which Duan Qirui sent to support, was expanded into the 9th Army of the Imperial Army, and the original division commander Fang Ruxin was promoted to army commander, and he would immediately go to the front line after the day of the formation of the army.

The 301st Division of the Pro-Guard Army sent by Cao Kun was expanded into the 10th Army of the Imperial Army, and Chen Xinhai was appointed as the commander of the army to go to the front line.

The 401st Division of the 4th Army of the Pro-Guard Army sent by Feng Guozhang was expanded into the 11th Army of the Imperial Army, and Huyan Jingbian was appointed as the commander of the army to go to the front.

The 601st of the 6th Army of the Imperial Army sent by Lu Yongbao was expanded into the 12th Army of the Imperial Army, and Wang Tianliang was appointed as the commander to go to the front line.

There are also the first and second armies of the pro-guard army when they came, and their main force was still in their station, but this time Guangxu decided to let these two armies all replenish the amount of the complete army, and at the same time the armies in Beijing and Nanjing will also be expanded, and in the sequence of the pro-guard army, the original pro-guard army in Beijing will be expanded into the seventh army of the pro-guard army, with Ding Haisheng as the commander. The Second Army of the Pro-Guard Army in Nanjing was expanded into the Eighth Army of the Pro-Guard Army, with Lu Yizheng as the commander.

With this expansion of the army, now the Chinese Empire has a total of a regular Central Army, this time China's troops are very obvious, most of them are concentrated in the northwest, accounting for the majority of the troops, but Guangxu knows that compared with the army from the Russian direction, the number of Chinese troops is still so small.

Guangxu's army immediately began to set off on all fronts after a short correction, and this time Guangxu set off with the army, so that Russia must be defeated!

Guangxu was preparing in Urumqi, Xinjiang, when a high-ranking government official who Guangxu didn't expect came, he was Tang Shaoyi, Guangxu met the prime minister of the empire in his palace, Tang Shaoyi looked very tired and haggard, and it was caused by a lack of rest.

As soon as Tang Shaoyi saw Guangxu finish bowing deeply, he began to be in a daze, he didn't rush to report to Guangxu, Guangxu was also busy with his own affairs, he didn't ask this prime minister, they spent a moment in such silence!

At this time, Guangxu raised his head after signing a document, and saw Tang Shaoyi smoking, his two fingers had been yellowed by cigarette smoke, and at this time, he had been smoking for a long time and holding the cigarette between his fingers.

Guangxu asked; "What! Prime Minister of the Empire, do you have anything you want me to say! ”

Tang Shaoyi heard Guangxu ask him a question, so he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt and let him talk later; "Your Majesty! Stop the attack on Russia! ”

Guangxu did not look up and said; "What! Can't hold on? ”

Tang Shaoyi said; "Oh! Emperor! Now the revolutionary parties in the south are making trouble! They didn't have a day to stop, they were still organizing an armed uprising, the propagandists This war is a war between imperialism, and the people have not received any benefits from this war at all, so fighting for the private interests of the emperor is completely unworthy of opinion, and the anti-war sentiment is very serious! ”

Guangxu asked; "Are there a lot of people participating?"

It has spread to the interior, so the current conscription work is also going very unsmoothly, ordinary children are now paid much higher wages in the factories than the income of soldiers, and those who have studied are even more reluctant to study, and their own industry still has to be done, so they do not agree to large-scale conscription, and do not agree to fight this war with Russia!

Guangxu looked at the prime minister of this empire, Guangxu has recently used all his experience in the war against Russia, and has little time to manage the affairs of the government. It is conceivable that Tang Shaoyi must be under a lot of pressure!

Guangxu asked; "What about your cabinet's opinion!"

Zhao Bingjun insisted that he must fight, Wu Ciren simply did not express his position, and I am talking about it now that we can't fight anymore, and now one-third of our gross national product is used for the military, especially the cost of the navy, which is too great!

So now I don't agree to intensify the war against Russia!

Guangxu said; "The opinions of the cabinet are not unanimous!"

Tang Shaoyi said; "They didn't dare to say it, so I was the only one to say!"

Guangxu said; "It seems that you are too tired, if your will is not strong enough, it will definitely affect others, first of all, you don't have the confidence to complete this work, how do you manage such an empire!"

Tang Shaoyi knew that he was dissatisfied with him as the prime minister at this time!

But Tang Shaoyi is very tired, now his spirit is on the verge of collapse, just as Guangxu said, he is really not very confident to complete the work assigned to him by Guangxu, in fact, now Tang Shaoyi has begun to work in the army, the expansion speed of the army is always not up, and he is the prime minister!

At this time, Guangxu said; "Since your body is not feeling well, let's rest for a while, but it's not that you don't do things, you can stop paying attention to the complicated things of the government, but you have to deal with another thing!"

Tang Shaoyi asked; "I don't know what the emperor asked his ministers to do!"

Guangxu said; "You want to establish a senior administration in Nanjing!"

Information Administration! Nanjing already has a capital administration yuan!

Guangxu said; "This is a different kind of Senate from the previous ones, you have to model it after the British parliament, elected from all walks of life, and you must pay attention to the voices and opinions that are right. Let the representatives of these people come to the Senior Minister's Yuan, so that they have a place to speak, and our government will have people listening, and listening is an important issue!

Many times, these people know that many problems cannot be solved in a short period of time, but the government attaches importance to this matter and sincerely tells the people the real situation now, and the people will understand, in the final analysis, it is to make our people feel that our government is on the side of the people, not from above, and must mingle with the masses."

Tang Shaoyi was a little confused!

Guangxu explained; "You must know that the situation in China is very bad now, but the situation in Russia is even worse than ours, the war has been fought to this extent, and now the competition is endurance, so the most important thing for us is time, we will definitely win this war!

After you return to Nanjing, you will immediately start to convene a "Constituent Assembly", and you must pay attention to absorbing all strata of society, and then you must go through Duolun discussions, and the election of deputies must be as complicated as possible, so that we can buy enough time for the battle on the Western Front! ”

Do you understand?

Tang Shaoyi seems to understand a little!

Guangxu said; "When you return to Nanjing, you will put this matter on the spot, and then you will find that only the quarrel on the field will take up most of the time, but it is really inevitable, so this procedure must go!

Then it is to let Marshal Yuan Shikai Ma Shan go to Nanjing, preside over the conscription work, pay attention to the quality of soldiers, and must give priority to the selection of literate soldiers to come to the army, so that the quality of our soldiers will be guaranteed, and high-tech technology will quickly spread from the application of the army to the people, when these soldiers return to their hometowns, when they start a business, it will come in handy, and at the same time our society will progress! ”

Tang Shaoyi used electricity at this time to understand the meaning of Guangxu; At this time, Tang Shaoyi still seemed to have something to report to Guangxu, but seeing that he was busy again, he didn't say anything!

Guangxu is checking the manufacturing drawings of the latest aircraft, and now the aero engine has entered the trial production stage, and this stage has encountered a bottleneck, that is, the quality of the steel is not up to par, and it is not resistant to high temperatures!

Although China's steel output has now ranked third in the world, China's special resignation still cannot meet the needs of industrial development, but Guangxu did not reply, because the rest of the world still does not know about the manufacture of aircraft engines!

Guangxu dragged Pi Jun's body to his bedroom, now Guangxu has no women and concubines around him, all things are Dai Zhixin waiting by the side, now Guangxu also cares a lot, the first thing he sees when he sees the bed is to go to bed quickly!

But today he can't sleep right away, because someone from the capital is coming, and Guangxu is still extraordinary!

Guangxu came to his dormitory, and saw two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, they are the people closest to Guangxu and believe, they have always been Guangxu's shadow, and they have always been by Guangxu's side!
