August 25, 1900.

St. Petersburg, Hermitage, Council Hall.

Nicholas II, with a gloomy face, sat in the first place, and below him sat the Minister of War, Kurobatkin, the Undersecretary of the Army, Dwiros, the Minister of the Navy, Andrei Wells, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Muravyov, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Witte.

"Kurobatkin, tell you what you just told me, tell you how my army on the northern route of Blagoveshchensk (i.e., Hailanpao) failed, and how Blagoveshchensk was burned by someone." Nicholas II was clearly on the verge of an outbreak.

"Yes, Your Majesty." War Minister Kurobatkin reluctantly got up, and at the same time walked to a huge map of the Far East, picked up a thin pole prepared in advance, pointed at Blagoveshchensk and said: "On August 20, the Blagoveshchensk army under the command of Gribsky was divided into three lines,......

Although Blagoveshchensk is more than 8,000 kilometers away from St. Petersburg, the War Department still controls all the military operations of Blagoveshchensk, the defeat of the Four Seasons Fishing Village, how Ivanoves took the city of Aihui, and how he was trapped and died in it, these are all under the control of the War Department, that is, the unexpected attack on Blagoveshchensk, and the rapid breakthrough of the city of Aihui, these are all unexpected by the Russian generals, so the truth of these two things. It was also four days later, and it is not until today that we have received accurate information.

Kurobatkin said. Basically restores the truth of the facts, and the only thing that is missing is the annihilation of the two battalions of Chacanan. It was counted in the breach of Aihui City.

"The whole battle is probably like this, it can be said that in one day and one night, more than 10,000 troops of our Blagoveshchensk were killed by the Chinese people in such an unknown way."

"Don't get me wrong, the Huaxia people I am talking about are not the Qing court army, but a group of robbers who have recently risen in the jurisdiction of Aihui, yes, they are robbers. Of course, these bandits put gold on their faces, calling themselves the Black Dragon Army, oh shit, they're just a bunch of bandits. ”

"Oh, Your Majesty, I'm really sorry that Kurobatkin sweared. It's because these robbers are so hateful. ”

"However, although they are robbers, I have to admit that they are a very strong force. Advanced equipment, strong firepower, and. They are also very well trained, and it is said that each of them carries an iron pot on their heads. ”

"Oh. It can't be said to be an iron pot, it should be said to be a steel helmet. According to the prediction of our military experts, wearing this kind of iron pot will greatly reduce the chance of soldiers being injured by scattered bullets, so in this regard, the army may still need to learn from these bandits, and the equipment department is also developing this kind of steel helmet, and strive to be able to wear it on our soldiers as soon as possible. ”

"Well, that's all I have to say."

Kurobatkin's emotions were a little excited, every time he talked about the Black Dragon Army, he almost gritted his teeth, it was obvious that the appearance of the Black Dragon Army not only made him lose his beloved general (Gribsky), but also made him passive in the court, after all, this is not only the defeat of the War Department, but also the defeat of his descendants.

"This bandit, oh no, the Black Dragon Army, although we were defeated in the hands of the Black Dragon Army, we have to admit that this army is qualified to be faced by us, so we can't despise others, but should pay attention to our opponents."

Nicholas II didn't know whether he had intentionally or unintentionally corrected the name of the Black Dragon Army, but he indirectly slapped the Minister of War Kurobatkin in the face, this scene made the Deputy Minister of War Dweylos, who was sitting next to Kurobatkin, secretly excited, because it showed that His Majesty had expressed his dissatisfaction with Kurobatkin, and his ability to attend such a highest-level meeting seemed to imply something.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it stands to reason that the implementation of our strategy in the Far East is very smooth, and the three eastern provinces of China are almost under the control of our Tsarist Russian army, but this black dragon army is like a rat, so that a pot of good wine that was about to come out of the cellar is polluted like this, which makes me feel disgusting."

"So, I don't know what you think should be done with this rat?" After Nicholas II finished speaking, he glanced at Vice-Minister of War Dweylos.

Dweylos immediately took the lead in speaking, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Dear Your Majesty, I wonder if Dulwich can express his opinion?" ”

"Oh, Deputy Minister D'Willylos, it's your right."

"Thank you, my honorable majesty." After Dwiros respectfully thanked him, he came to the side of the map, picked up the thin pole that Kurobatkin had just put down, pointed to Khabarovsk (that is, Boli), and said: "My subordinates believe that they should send a telegram to Lieutenant General Grodekov, the military governor of Amur, and let Grodekov personally lead two brigades of the Khabarovsk army to stay behind, and take the fleet from the Heishui River upstream, which is regarded as the army of the East Road, while the army of the South Road is left behind as the main force of Bingcheng, an infantry brigade and a cavalry battalion, and go directly south from Suihua and Anbei, as well as the army of the Northwest Road, With an infantry brigade of the Qihar garrison, an artillery regiment and a cavalry battalion, as well as a main force of the Third Army of the ********, an infantry brigade and a cavalry battalion, they directly entered the city of Morgan in the east, joined the Qihar army, and then marched eastward together. ”

"In addition, we should mobilize the remaining armies in Irkutsk and other cities in the Far East, go all the way south, and still attack Aihui from Blagoveshchensk, so that a total of four armies will encircle the Black Dragon Army, and it will definitely leave the Black Dragon Army with nowhere to flee and no place to bury the dead."

I have to say that this deputy minister of the War Department has done his homework, and even has a clear understanding of the situation of the troops stationed in various places.

"Well, very well, the Chinese people often say, the lion fights the rabbit, and you must go all out, it seems that D'Willylos knows it well. And in my opinion, the Black Dragon Army is not always a weak rabbit, at least it can be regarded as a jackal. Although our Tsarist Russia can ignore it, it has repeatedly offended our Tsarist Russia. Regard my Tsarist Russia as nothing, so what should I do with the jackal, only to knock it to death with a stick, what do you think? ”

Nicholas II's tendencies were so obvious that even if there were different opinions, everyone did not dare to speak unless they agreed with it, but the Minister of War Kurobatkin was not allowed to speak. I'm afraid his position as Minister of War will really be lost.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although we now know that the other party is the Black Dragon Army, we have not yet figured out the real details of the Black Dragon Army, such as how many troops the Black Dragon Army has, their advanced equipment, and where they are advanced, etc. If you rush to send a large army to it, I am afraid that there will be something inappropriate. ”

Therefore, the old minister thought that the Qing court army should be pulled. Didn't they want to surrender and pray for peace, it just so happened that there was such a big bandit in Aihui. It will seriously affect the diplomatic relations between Qing and Russia, so as to force the Qing army to be the vanguard. Our army is in the rear, so it is naturally more foolproof. ”

Kurobatkin's words are very reasonable. There is no need for ready-made cannon fodder, why do you have to charge into battle by yourself, and the enemy is still a mysterious enemy, if Yue Weihua hears it, he will definitely raise his hands and praise, if you want to say that this hand, in the future, that little devil is really skillful in playing.

However, Kurobatkin's suggestion was not approved by the proud Nicholas II, and even the other ministers who were doing it felt unimpressed, and it was just a matter of eliminating a bandit who had just risen, so that everyone would know about it, and we would be disgraced ourselves, and we would kill each other ourselves, otherwise it would be over.

It should be said that this is the self-esteem of Tsarist Russia, or rather, this is the difference between Tsarist Russia and the little devils, little devils, that is doing everything, not to mention the puppet army, ******, even the things that drove the people to attack the city have happened, as for the gas bombs, chemical bombs, these things, then who doesn't know.

"Your Majesty, it's already the end of August, if we only attack Aihui City with the four armies, maybe we will be able to retreat in ten days, but if you have to wait for the Qing Dynasty to send troops, tsk, what is the situation of the Qing army, I'm afraid you all know, procrastinating, passing the buck to each other, I'm afraid it will be difficult to send troops in another month, at that time the heavy snow has been closed the mountain, and the Black Dragon Army retreated to the Buren Mountains at once, not to mention our 40,000 army, I'm afraid it is 100,000 troops, and we can only stare dryly, so, Your Majesty, my subordinates think, We should quickly raise a large army and destroy the Black Dragon Army as soon as possible, so as to correct the national prestige of our Tsarist Russia. D'Willerose said bluntly.

"Well, what the deputy minister said is very true, what do you think, but there are still different opinions?" This time, Nicholas II looked directly past Kurobatkin, and then at the Minister of the Admiralty, the Minister of the Exchequer and others.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Okay, in that case, Vice Minister Dwiros, you are fully responsible for this siege of Aihui, coordinate all the ministries as soon as possible, and order all the ministries to march quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

The non-military meeting that took place at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg also decided that after ten days and half a month, the Black Dragon Army would face a posture of encirclement on all sides, of course, Yue Weihua had no way of knowing this news now.

However, Yue Weihua has not stopped at all in the past few days, just like a hard-working little bee, he is also a coach to train the actual situation, and he has to inspect everywhere, especially after the mass production of self-made bullets and shells in the arsenal, Yue Weihua personally acted as a porter, and got each regiment and battalion to test guns and guns, of course, by the way, he also went to each regiment to inspect the training situation, lecture words, brush up on the sense of existence, and so on.

However, if you want to say who is the busiest these days, it must be the cavalry regiment led by Yue Xiaodong, the cavalry regiment is not short of horses, it should be said that the entire Black Dragon Army is now a surplus of one war horse, but it is difficult to find soldiers who are good at riding and shooting.

I can't fight and I can't fight, I can't escape, I don't want to give up this territory easily, what should I do?

Either dissolve or take refuge, this is the bold words released by Yue Xiaodong.
