Chapter 441: Cruel Revenge (Part II)

As a result, after the 1st Cavalry Army of Tsarist Russia entered Central Asia, there were rivers of blood everywhere it went, almost all the people who could not speak Russian or were slaughtered, countless originally prosperous cities and towns were reduced to ruins, and even the countryside was "white bones exposed in the wilderness, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info". Later, Lieutenant General Brusilov found that if he continued to kill like this, the cities along the Central Asian Railway would become ghost towns, and the railway would not be able to maintain its operation at that time, and the Tsarist government did not have the spare energy to immigrate in large numbers in a short period of time.

The frenzied retaliation of the Russian army forced the Central Asian ethnic groups in the internal struggle to unite, but this is useless, it is just a rabble in itself, and there is not even a leader who can convince the people, how can it be the opponent of the Russian army?

In less than a month, the 1st Cavalry Army of Tsarist Russia wiped out the Central Asian coalition army, which claimed to be one million, killing more than 500,000 people without taking a single prisoner......

But this did not frighten the people of Central Asia, because the Russian army refused to give them a way to live, anyway, it was a dead end, and they could only fight to the end, as a result, because it was difficult for artillery and heavy machine guns to play a full role in small-scale battles, and the enemy would rather die than surrender (surrender and die even worse), the losses of the Russian army in the guerrilla war stage were much greater than in the previous frontal battle, and more than 30,000 casualties were inflicted on the Russian army in just half a year. However, it has nothing to do with the 1st Cavalry Corps of Tsarist Russia, they will be transferred back to Europe immediately after proving their combat effectiveness, and Lieutenant General Brusilov formed a cavalry corps to deal with their Chinese counterparts, suppressing the dirty work of the rebel army, and directly transferring the Cossacks of the second line over.

Due to the destruction of evidence by the Tsarist government afterwards, and the fact that Central Asia has been involved in wars many times since then, how many people the Russian army massacred in Central Asia has finally become a historical unsolved case, but the first population survey conducted after Central Asia finally ushered in peace found that the population of the entire Central Asian region at that time was only more than one million, even if the more than one million people who fled to neighboring countries (mainly Iran) are added, it is equivalent to less than one-third of the total population before the war, and the tragedy of the massacre can be seen.

The era has entered the twentieth century, but the Russian army committed cruel atrocities that did not occur until the time of the fall of the country in the Middle Ages, and they occurred on nominally their own land, and it is reasonable for world public opinion to criticize them, but in fact, the Western media at that time remained uniformly silent, as if this had not happened at all.

What's even more speechless is that even after the end of the Three Kingdoms War and the fact that this matter could not be concealed, the Western media did not blame the Tsarist Russian army for committing the crime, but instead put all the blame on the Chinese government, saying that if it were not for the Chinese army to intercept refugees and prevent them from entering the country, they would not have died so much.

However, it is true that the Chinese army did not take advantage of the chaos to re-enter Central Asia, so that the Russian army can be so rampant. However, under the current situation that there is not enough strength to swallow Central Asia for the time being, it is undoubtedly very wise for China's Ili Military Region to choose to consolidate the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of lost territory that it has recovered without blindly expanding.

In addition, after the cold winter came, not only Siberia and the Urals in the north, but even Central Asia in the south were also freezing to the bone, so the once unprecedentedly fierce Sino-Russian war soon died down, and both sides began to recuperate and prepare for the next year's spring after the warm flowers.

In this way, this brutal war, which in less than a year caused the death of more than 5 million soldiers and civilians in China, the United States and Russia (including nearly 3 million military deaths [including missing]) has finally eased temporarily, and Britain can finally begin to "mediate" work.

As early as September, the elder Chamberlain had publicly made such an appeal, but because Li Hui firmly disagreed, "first armistice, then negotiations." "This condition is obviously favorable to the United States and Russia, and the governments of the United States and Russia are unwilling to openly seek peace and damage their morale in the dilemma of losing and retreating on the front line. It was only now, when the expansion of the Chinese army had reached its limit and it was difficult to launch an offensive in extremely cold weather, that Li Hui agreed to a temporary truce with the United States and Russia, and at the same time sent a delegation headed by Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi to London, England, to negotiate future peace.

However, Li Hui was not optimistic about the success of this peace conference, and the reason why he sent a high-level delegation was just a gesture. Speaking of which, in fact, Li Hui hoped that he would be able to accept it as soon as he saw it, but on the contrary, the governments of the United States and Russia, which are currently in a weak position, and to be precise, the leaders of the two countries, do not want to conclude a peace treaty now.

Because the battlefield was lost too badly, even if the Chinese government was magnanimous, the United States and Russia would still inevitably have to cede land and pay reparations, but there was a difference between a little more or a little less, so as the initiator of the war, US President Theodore Roosevelt must be held accountable for this, and his political life would be over here, would he be willing? Moreover, the most dangerous stage of the United States has passed, and it will never be worse if it continues to fight, and Theodore Roosevelt has every reason to persist in fighting against China.

As for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, although he does not have to resign as a hereditary monarch, after his "paper tiger" essence is exposed, it will be difficult to ensure the stability of the country.

More importantly, when the U.S. government first aided Tsarist Russia, it was specifically stated in the contract that if the Tsarist government made peace with China alone, the money from that aid would be regarded as a loan rather than gratuitous, and with the poor and weak national strength of Tsarist Russia, it would not be able to afford to sell the Tsar's family and pay it back.

As for the debts like the later Soviet Union, this is not something that the Tsarist government can do, not that the Tsar abides by his promises, but that the cost of doing so is too great for him and the Tsarist country to be crushed......

You know, the creditors are actually not the US government, but those international financial oligarchs! Dare to hack their money? Only the two great socialist countries in history have such courage and can afford the huge price, as for the current Tsarist Russia? In fact, even before this war, the finances of the Tsarist government were heavily dependent on foreign loans, and where did Nicholas II dare to tear his face with those big financiers?
