"Commander-in-Chief, leaders, I have just received a telegram in clear code, which was jointly signed by Britain, France, the United States and other countries,......。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Just as Yue Weihua was about to leave alone and go to the first line of defense to deliver equipment, Liu Liren, the minister of intelligence, suddenly knocked on the door and entered, bringing the news that the battlefield observation group composed of Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Austria had arrived in Boli and sent a clear telegram, waiting for the reply of the Black Dragon Army.

Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy and Austria sent a clear code telegram, the purpose of which is naturally self-evident, that is, for their own safety, to inform the Black Dragon Army that we are here to watch the battle, and have no other intentions, as for waiting for the reply of the Black Dragon Army, it is pure nonsense, Yue Weihua believes that the so-called battle viewing group must have been on the road at this moment.

"It's fast enough." Yue Weihua sneered.

Because since Qin Haiji received the news from Zhang Shouzheng that Britain and the United States and other countries were going to set up an observation team to watch the war, it has only been a week until now, but this observation group has already arrived in Boli, spanning more than 3,000 kilometers of sea areas.

"I see, they are worried that our Black Dragon Army is too strong, if we slow down, I'm afraid the war is over, so what else do you see." Yang Fengxiang smiled and agreed.

"Hehe, Battlefield Observation Group, damn it, do you know the scale of their trip?" Yue Weihua asked again.

"Well, they also made a brief explanation in the telegram in clear code, on this trip, each country has a small warship, of course, this small means that in the sea, if compared with the river ship, both the tonnage and the gun position are far from being comparable to the river ship, in other words, the escort of the observation group on this trip is six sea ships." Liu Liren said bluntly.

"How many people have come from their national observation missions?" Yue Xiang interjected.

"On this clear telegram, I didn't say it." Liu Liren paused, and then said: "However, just now, we also received a telegram from Zhang Shouzheng, director of Shanghai Nanming Daily, and we learned a lot of news. ”

In order to allow Zhang Shouzheng to contact the Black Dragon Army smoothly, before Zhang Shouzheng left Shanghai, Qin Haiji, the head of the Black Dragon Army in Shanghai, specially presented an advanced radio station dedicated to the Black Dragon Army to Zhang Shouzheng, the small and advanced radio station was naturally taken directly by Zhang Shouzheng to the French warship, and just when various countries invented the code telegraph, Zhang Shouzheng also secretly sent a telegram with more connotation to the Black Dragon Army.

"Oh, what's the news?"

According to Zhang Shouzheng's initial estimate, the number of observer missions in various countries is about 500 elite army troops, in addition to the personnel equipped with warships.

"Also, in addition to the six warships mentioned in the clear code telegram, in fact, there are six cargo ships that came with them, and among these six cargo ships, according to a little news that Zhang Shouzheng overheard, it is very likely that the weapons and equipment transported in them are not ordinary weapons and equipment, they should be mainly artillery, it is not difficult to guess that this should be the weapons and equipment sold by various countries to Tsarist Russia or the Qing army."

"it, this is the Neutral Observer Group?" Yue Xiaodong was the first to scold angrily.

"****."

……

Everyone was angry, but Yue Weihua seemed quite calm, or rather, this was originally expected by them, because this was the real face of the powers, and even, once the war permitted, these observation groups would personally participate in the war, Yue Weihua would not be surprised.

"Okay, what's the use of scolding." Yue Weihua waved his hand and calmed everyone down before he continued: "The editor-in-chief of Nanming Daily, I remember that he wanted to come to the Wolf Domain to do an interview in person, Liren, your intelligence department should think about it, how to take over the safety of others, Qin Haiji attaches great importance to this person, especially his identity, which may be of great use to us in the future, so we must ensure the safety of others, and at the same time, we must also pay attention to keeping their identity secret, even within our Black Dragon Army, it is only limited to this, and it is forbidden to spread it at will." ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

"Well, then you can continue to talk, I'll go to the front line and send them equipment."

……

The clear-code telegram of the six-nation observer group of Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Austria did not cause much repercussions in the Black Dragon Army, because everyone knows that these powers are enemies rather than friends, so they are nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, so naturally there is nothing to pay special attention to and scruples.

Of course, as long as the Black Dragon Army doesn't want to face the Seven Nations Alliance now, then the superficial work still has to be done, and the clear code telegram of the Six Nations Observation Group still has to be replied to, in short, it is welcome, as for the rest, it is actually not interesting.

However, the arrival of the Six Nations Observation Mission made the side of the Qing Dynasty coalition in Tsarist Russia a little nerve-wracking, of course, Zeng Qi was better, mainly because Kuzuosco felt a little difficult to do, and he didn't know how to meet this so-called observation team.

Originally, Kuzosco thought, and even most of the generals of Tsarist Russia, that the Tsarist Qing court allied more than 100,000 people, using five artillery regiments, such troops, such firepower, not to mention a team that has only developed for a few months and has no more than 10,000 troops, even if it has tens of thousands of troops, it is a crushing war.

Who would have thought that this battle had only been fought for three days, and on the first day, the Qing army in the Western Route Coalition Army lost a league, and in the evening, more than 8,000 people were killed and wounded on the Tsarist side of the camp, which was equivalent to two brigades, resulting in the Western Route Coalition Army never really engaged the other side, and it lost almost a quarter of the battle.

The next day, it was the turn of the East Road Coalition Army itself, and they retreated all the way, originally thinking that the Black Dragon Army was nothing more than that, but they didn't expect that a brigade of Tsarist Russia and a forward unit of the Qing Army were actually pitted by others and the whole army was annihilated.

In order to fight this battle well, their own side dispatched more than 10,000 people, and the three artillery regiments bombed in turn, and the shells were consumed several tons, but the result was that their side lost more than 6,000 people, and the other side was afraid that there were thousands of casualties.

What's even more odious is that just over an hour ago, the other party dared to send a team into their hinterland to attack at night, and in the end, they actually succeeded in taking out one of their own artillery regiments.

If such a record is known to the six-nation observer group, then what status can Tsarist Russia have in the international community?

"Damn, those brainless politicians, knowing that the Black Dragon Army is not easy to fight, actually agreed to let the Six Nations send an observation mission, this makes me uncomfortable."

Cuzosco secretly cursed in his heart, when the Tsarist Russian minister in the Qing Dynasty Geers, he asked the people in the military, and Cuzosco objected to it at that time, but Cuzosco also knew that this kind of inquiry was purely symbolic, so he sighed and asked: "I don't know what you think about the arrival of the Six Nations Observation Mission?" ”

As soon as this question was raised, the entire conference room instantly fell silent, because this question was really a little difficult to answer, and it was about to be cold, Kuzosco glanced at Kirilenko beside him, and suddenly thought that this guy seemed to support the observation mission sent by the six countries, so he smiled and said by name: "Chief of Staff Kirilenko, you can talk about it first." ”

Before this battle, Kirilenko's position was the commander of the 87th Division of Tsarist Russia in Arty, and after the reorganization of this battle, in addition to still being in charge of the 87th Division, the Tsarist Russian Army Headquarters also specially made him the chief of staff of the Eastern Route Coalition Army.

Of course, because Kuzosco is a very strong commander, the position of chief of staff is actually a fictitious position, so Kirilenko almost always works at his own division headquarters, and rarely comes to the headquarters except for necessary meetings, but in any case, he also hangs the title of chief of staff, and it stands to reason that even if Kuzosco does not name him, Kirilenko needs to stand up and say a few words himself.

However, Kirilenko really didn't want to speak, because Kurzuosco was against the fact that the Six Nations Observation Mission was going to watch the war, but Kirilenko strongly agreed, who would have thought that the current situation is not favorable for Tsarist Russia, and this observation group is going to watch the war, isn't that a slap in the mouth?

Of course, Kirilenko himself knew that the Six Nations Observation Group came to watch the battle, which was the result of the great powers' wrestling of wrists, and it was not decided by their few martial artists, but after all, Kirilenko himself opened his mouth, so it was normal to be a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, in any case, the arrival of the Six Nations Observation Mission is still very beneficial to us, first of all, the weapons and equipment of the six ships that came with the regiment, if I remember correctly, there should be equipment for two artillery regiments, and a large amount of ammunition supplies, at least, it can make up for the loss of the Gary artillery regiment tonight."

Kirilenko paused at this point, and glanced at Gary, who was looking depressed (because it is an artillery regiment directly under the General Command, it enjoys the treatment of the brigade level, so Gary is eligible to participate in this kind of combat meeting. Then he suddenly changed the subject: "Colonel Gary, I wonder if you can reassemble an artillery regiment if you are given enough equipment?" ”

Gary had a bitter face, speaking of which, he is a descendant of Kuzuosco, but today Kuzosco has not given himself a good face, I didn't expect Kirilenko Chief of Staff to speak for himself at this moment, so he quickly stood up, saluted, and said: "As long as the equipment is sufficient, and give me some auxiliaries, I believe that soon the Gary artillery regiment will regain its combat effectiveness." ”

"Hehe, that's fine." Kirilenko nodded, and continued: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the Observation Mission has only arrived in Boli now, and even if they don't stop day and night, it will take at least three or four days to arrive, and I think that as long as we have the right tactics, it is still possible to turn the tide of the battle within three or four days." ”

"Oh, I don't know what the chief of staff thinks?" Cuzuo Cisco asked rhetorically.

Although he knew that Kirilenko was changing the topic, he didn't care, but asked along the topic, after all, how to adjust the strategic deployment is the current topic, as for the infighting, or making Kirilenko ugly, Kuzosco is not too interested, no matter what, Kirilenko is holding a division's descendants, at this juncture, it is really not appropriate to create a discordant situation.

In fact, at the end of today's battle, the Tsarist side and the Qing court side have held a military meeting, and they have roughly made arrangements for tomorrow's battle situation, but just now the Gary artillery regiment was attacked, which caused Kuzuosco to have new ideas about tomorrow's battle situation and the deployment of troops, so this military meeting within Tsarist Russia was held.

As for the matter of the Six Nations Observer Mission, it is secondary, as long as the tide of war is reversed, as Kirilenko said, then everything is fine?

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, through the battles of the past few days, it can be said that our Tsarist and Russian eastern and western coalition forces have suffered losses from being attacked several times, even in the daytime battle, although our casualties are also very large, but compared to the situation of being sneak attacked, the battle loss ratio is undoubtedly much stronger than being sneak attacked."

"We all know that this war will definitely be a tragic and cruel war, and even those of us here, after the war, I'm afraid many people will bury their bones here, presumably about this, everyone will not deny it, right?"

"That's true."

Everyone echoed, although they didn't want to admit it, but one is one, this old man is more upright than the little devil.

"Okay, since everyone agrees with this point of view, then I'll say one more thing, that is, the weather, the harsh winter is coming, and the day of heavy snow sealing the mountains is not far away, that is to say, there is not much time left for us to exterminate the Black Dragon Army, which we can't deny either, right?" Kirilenko spoke again.

"That's right." Everyone nodded in unison.

"Well, there is another thing I clearly remember, when we just assembled, at the first meeting held in Mukden, the War Department had clearly ordered that this battle must be done at all costs, and the Black Dragon Army must be exterminated before the heavy snow closes the mountain, and resolutely disagree with the strategy of besieging but not attacking, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, is this so?" Kirilenko added again.

"It is true, and this is not only an order of the War Department, but a death order given by His Majesty the Tsar himself, and there should be little room for manoeuvre." Cuzosco affirmed.

"Okay, in that case, then I'll tell you what I think."

"The first point is that our whole army must have the mental preparation to fight against the odds and fight to the death, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent, which is very important."

"Second, I suggest that our garrison be moved from Cuiliugou to a location around the Wolf Domain to facilitate the next battle."

"The third point, for the next battle strategy, I think that we will use our superiority in strength to attack the main positions of the Black Dragon Army day and night, and not give the Black Dragon Army any chance to breathe, even if it is consumed, we will consume them."

"Fourth, I hope that in addition to attacking the opponent's main position day and night, we will also attack the wolf domain in all directions, high mountains, let's climb over, ravines, let's go through, as long as there is a gap, our team, pounce on it, the wolf domain occupies more than 20 kilometers in a circle, I don't believe it, we tens of thousands of troops scattered, we can't find a weak point."

"Fifth, inform the East Route Coalition Army to reach Aihui as soon as possible at all costs to join the West Route Coalition Army,......。"

"Sixth, urge the local government to increase support and ...... from human and material resources"

"Seventh, let the Qing army take action, increase the penetration of the Black Dragon Army, and spread the news of Zhao'an,......"
