Nicholas II used alcohol to kill his sorrows, and at a young age he looked increasingly decadent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Duma parliament was still chattering and arguing, and for every minute wasted, several Russian soldiers fighting on the front line were killed.

But it doesn't matter, for the aristocrats of Tsarist Russia, it really doesn't matter how many soldiers die, they are most concerned about their own interests.

Whether surrendering to the Chinese Empire can reduce the loss of interests, or surrendering to the German Empire can obtain higher benefits, no one dares to guarantee the vote, and can only gamble like a gambler.

However, they still had time, because on the battlefield of Western Siberia, a legendary figure appeared, and under the leadership of this person, a very effective Tsarist army blocked the powerful offensive of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army at Yekarina Fort on the Eurasian dividing line.

This man's name is Liening, he was forcibly conscripted into the army during the World War in 1894 and participated in the Sino-Russian Battle of Siberia, after the defeat of Tsarist Russia, he realized the backwardness of the Tsarist Empire under the rule of the Tsar, he longed for the prosperity of the Chinese Empire, but unfortunately his attempt to go to the Chinese Empire was refused, and the Tsarist Russian government declared him a traitor on this ground.

He eventually went to Western Europe, where he came into contact with some Marxists in exile, especially the most respected thinker Plekhanov, and secretly returned to China in the same year, became the leader of the Petersburg Marxist group, and founded the "Association for the Emancipation of the Working Class" to spread Marxist theory to the workers, and was arrested and imprisoned in December of the same year, and then exiled to the Yekarinburg region of Western Siberia.

During his exile in Yekarinburg, Lenin married Puskaya and continued to engage in revolutionary activities and writing, and soon he established a revolutionary cell in the Yekarinburg region and gained the support of the local working class.

Yekaterinburg is located on the Eurasian dividing line, where Peter the Great built Russia's first smelter in 1723, and on the basis of it, Yekaterinburg, an industrial fortress named after Catherine I, was built.

In the first half of the 19th century, the industrial process of the Tsarist Russian Empire accelerated, and metallurgy led to the rapid development of Yekaterinburg. In the last quarter of the 19th century, Yekaterinburg became the economic, financial, and cultural center of the Urals, as well as an important hub for the Trans-Siberian Railway.

At the same time, due to the hostility between the Tsarist Empire and the Chinese Empire, in order to expedition to the Far East, the Tsar increased the size of the Fort Yekarina Fortress by five times, not only built heavy fortress fortifications, but also served as a logistics base for the Russian Empire to conquer the Chinese Empire.

Due to the defeat of the Tsarist Empire in the Asian theater, Nicholas II transferred the army from the Asian theater to the European theater, which greatly facilitated the rapid development and growth of Liening and his revolutionary group, and the poverty and backwardness of Tsarist Russia, coupled with the negative impact of repeated defeats, led to the dissatisfaction of many Russian officers and soldiers.

Lenin took advantage of these negative influences, and soon developed a large number of Tsarist Russian soldiers to join, making his revolutionary team snowball.

With the defeat of the United States, the most powerful of the Entente bloc, and the strength of the Chinese Empire, which had frightened the Slavs, Liening took the opportunity to agitate lobbying, and more and more Slavs began to oppose the war, hoping that the Tsarist Empire would withdraw from the world war.

When the news of the fall of Britain reached the Tsarist Empire, more Slavs already knew very well that the only Entente country that could compete with the Chinese Empire, Britain and the United States were defeated and surrendered, France itself could not be protected, and it would soon be destroyed by the German Empire, so the hope of the Tsarist Russian Empire winning the world war was very slim and almost impossible.

At the same time, what made the Slavs desperate the most was that after three years of world war, even a country as rich as the British Empire could not hold on, let alone the poor and backward Tsarist Empire.

In the whole territory of Tsarist Russia, it has reached the point where the people are not able to make a living, the common people have been requisitioned to fight, the farmland is uncultivated, the factories are suspended, the necessities of life are either not available, or they cannot afford to buy them, and the depreciation of the ruble has reached the point where a box of matches needs to be bought with a sack of ruble banknotes.

Under such circumstances, when the sky of Siberia was burned red by artillery fire, and when hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops on the front line were defeated like lost dogs by the Chinese Empire's Shence Army in one day, the entire people of the Tsarist Russian Empire panicked.

Fort Yekarina was the core of the Russian Empire's war against China, and the Chinese Imperial Army was bound to attack here, so the Slavs here were even more fearful.

Knowing that his own time had come, Liening wanted to take the opportunity to control Yekarinburg, use the large amount of materials hoarded here, and intercept all the hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops who had been defeated from the front line, so that they could become revolutionary fighters and fulfill their revolutionary dreams.

Liening did just that, and when the defeated Russian soldiers heard the sound of gunfire coming from the Chinese Imperial Army, they were so frightened that their stomachs cramped.

At first, Lie Ning was also scared, he also knew the strength of the Chinese Empire's Divine Ce Army.

But he soon discovered that the so-called Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, which was chasing after hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops, had only one regiment of troops.

According to the establishment of the Standing Army of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire, a regiment is only about 2,000 people, and even if it becomes a combat establishment and the scale is expanded, it will not exceed 5,000 people, and it is actually chasing more than 100,000 Tsarist Russian troops all over the world and crying.

This Nima is too legendary, isn't it?

At that moment, it was simply surprising to Lie Ning, don't want it!

Realizing this God-given opportunity, Lie Ning quickly organized the revolutionary party to fight with this Chinese imperial army.

After a day and two nights of fierce fighting, Liening led his revolutionary forces to successfully repel the ferocious attack of the Chinese Imperial Army.

After the battle, Lie Ning was terrified, and he finally understood why the Chinese Empire's Shence Army had terrified the Russian army.

The combat effectiveness of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire is indeed not boastful, a mechanized infantry regiment is less than 5,000 people, and its firepower far exceeds that of an army of the Tsarist Russian army.

After dozens of arduous defensive battles, although Liening's revolutionary armed forces repelled the attack of the Chinese Shence Army, they paid a heavy price, as the defending side, still in full preparation, they suffered more than 20,000 casualties, of which more than 8,000 died.

Lie Ning wanted to use the corpses or prisoners of some Chinese Imperial Army soldiers to establish his authority, but what made him depressed was that he clearly saw hundreds of Chinese Imperial Army soldiers being shot and falling to the ground, but he did not find a single body.

This actually shows a problem, that is, the Chinese Imperial Army retreated on their own initiative, so they had time to take the corpses of their companions. If it was defeated by the Liening army, then there would be no time to take the corpses of their companions with them.

But it doesn't matter anymore, as long as the Chinese Imperial Army retreats, then the Russian troops in Yekarinburg will believe that Liening is their savior.

In any case, Liening became a hero, and he successfully collected more than 100,000 defeated Tsarist soldiers under the pretext of Fort Yekarina's powerful fortifications and ample supplies, as well as the repulsion of the Chinese Imperial Army.

At this time, Liening's confidence was sufficient, counting the more than 40,000 defenders of the fortress of Fort Yekarina controlled by the revolutionary party, and more than 60,000 workers' armed forces in Fort Yekarina, adding up to 250,000 troops.

This force instantly swelled Liening's ambitions, but his first priority was to take control of this huge army as quickly and completely as possible.

Fortunately, Liening already had an armed contingent of workers loyal to him, and there were many key members of the revolutionary party, who quickly supplemented the other Russian army units, became the backbone, and spread Marx's ideas to unite all the troops around Liening.

The Russian aristocrats in St. Petersburg did not know how dangerous Liening was, and they only saw Liening helping them to block the powerful offensive of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Of course, they didn't know that Liening's this time was just to repel a mechanized infantry regiment of the Chinese Imperial Army, if it weren't for the fact that the main force of the Chinese Imperial Army had stretched too long on the battle line, if it was an army or a group army, it was estimated that Liening would not be able to defend at all.

Liening's subordinate, Major General Mendolev, commander of the Yekarinburg fortress, lied about the military situation, and he was instructed by Lenin to temporarily confuse the Duma parliament in order to obtain greater benefits.

And the nobles of the Duma parliament did not realize that they had been deceived, just like the historical Eight-Nation Coalition captured Tianjin, but Cixi received the news that the Qing army was victorious, and as a result, she directly declared war on the Eight-Nation as soon as she was excited, if Cixi knew the truth at that time, she would never have that guts.

Similarly, the Duma parliament only saw that Lening commanded the Russian army to hold the fortress of Fort Yekarina, and thought that his ability was enough to block more than a million Chinese Imperial Shence troops.

As a result, the Duma Council unexpectedly appointed Liening as the commander of the Yekarinburg fortress and was responsible for collecting hundreds of thousands of Russian troops who had retreated from the defeat in Siberia.

In this way, Liening became a major general of the Russian army, and controlled the Siberian rout, which is equivalent to becoming the governor of Siberia, which can be described as a step to the sky.

In fact, the aristocrats of the Duma Council were not unaware of the details of Liening, but their idea was to use Liening to block the military offensive of the Chinese Empire first, and then remove Liening when the Asian battlefield stabilized.

This is the behavior of standard politicians, and the Duma is only using unspoken rules, but they ignore the most important issue, which is that the revolutionary party is the revolutionary party, the revolutionary party that wants to overthrow the tsarist rule.

When Liening expanded his army in Fort Yekarina and expanded the strength of the revolutionary party, the nobles of the Duma also made the final decision, they felt that Liening led a group of workers to stop the Chinese Imperial army, proving that the Tsarist Empire was still strong, and as long as more workers were put on the battlefield, the Chinese Empire could be defeated, so they temporarily abandoned the option of surrender.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for a bad news to come from the battlefield on the Western Front in Europe.

The Anglo-French forces suffered a crushing defeat in a decisive battle with the German Imperial forces in Bordeaux on 13 August, and the French Emperor Napoleon IV was captured by the Germans, and the French Empire was destroyed.

The Battle of Bordeaux was won by Admiral Schlieffen on the impromptu change of plan, because he found that on the western front of France, facing more than 4 million Anglo-French troops, only less than 2 million German troops were fighting too hard.

In the past, the Anglo-French forces laid out an 800-kilometer-long front in Verdun and the Marne, and millions of Anglo-French troops seemed to be many, but the actual number of troops on each kilometer front was only a few thousand, which gave Schlieffen a blitzkrieg, concentrated forces to break through, and used aircraft and tanks to open the way, resulting in local superiority in strength and firepower, so as to win the victory in front.

However, more than one million British troops urgently reinforced France, and the main force of the French army also retreated to the southwest of France, resulting in a sharp reduction in the front that the British and French forces needed to defend, and now the four million British and French troops only defended a front of less than 100 kilometers, and the strength of each kilometer of the front was as high as 40,000, and the troops became concentrated, and the weapons and equipment were also concentrated, and the British and French forces still had more than 2,000 aircraft and more than 1,000 tanks, which were easy to block the German army's blitzkrieg.

As a result, the two million German troops fought with the four million British and French troops every day, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and on the worst day, the German army suffered 140,000 casualties, and the British and French troops suffered more than 200,000 casualties.

Both sides were red-eyed and engaged in the main decisive battle on the frontal battlefield. The Anglo-French forces fought on their backs, so they were particularly fierce and inflicted huge casualties on the German army.

Schlieffen was distressed, so he thought that the French Emperor Napoleon IV was in Bordeaux, so he played a sneak attack blitzkrieg again, concentrating the German elite two armies to suddenly storm Bordeaux.

Emperor Napoleon IV of France was instantly frightened, and hurriedly ordered the main force of the French army to reinforce him, but he fell into Schliefen's strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and the main force of 750,000 French troops was surrounded by the main force of 600,000 German troops.

After ten days and ten nights of bloody fighting, the main French army was completely annihilated, and at the same time, the Germans captured Bordeaux and captured the French Emperor Napoleon IV.

The French emperor was captured, which was a fatal blow to the whole of France, especially the French army was divided, even if there were British troops, but unfortunately the British army was a rootless duckweed, and the supply was all dependent on the French army, and when the French army was in chaos, the two million British troops were left alone.

Schlieffen seized the opportunity and in the next half month of fighting, he divided the British and French armies, concentrated the superior forces and broke them individually, and finally the four million British and French troops were defeated, and then the French Empire announced its surrender.

At the Royal Palace in Berlin, Wilhelm II was overjoyed when he received the news of the surrender of the French Empire.

However, when he saw the German casualties reported by Schliefen, he instantly turned green with anger.

In order to defeat the four million Anglo-French forces, the German Army lost a full 700,000 elite German soldiers.

"Damn the Chinese Empire, if they hadn't deliberately left two million British troops in France, our German soldiers would definitely not have to pay such a big sacrifice!"

Ahhh

Wilhelm II scratched his ears and cheeks angrily, kicked the table and smashed the stool, and almost hit his head against the wall.

At this time, Hitra came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, good news, after the efforts and persuasion of the ministers, the Tsarist Empire has agreed to surrender to us!" (To be continued.) )
