After six consecutive days of marching, the more than 27,000 officers and men of the 103rd Division only felt a little tired, and with their current physical condition, they only needed to rest for a day before they could recover completely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And this is also the first time they have experienced the benefits of a motorized army, and it took them only six days to arrive after a journey of more than 1,000 kilometers.

This would have taken at least twenty days before, even though the army was always marching day and night, and the soldiers in the trucks were also wobbly and had to be harassed by the cold wind.

But then again, the feeling of riding in the car is really quite unusual, although the back seat is a little like vomiting, but that feeling is much stronger than riding in a carriage.

The soldiers kept checking their equipment, they had arrived at the front line, they had arrived at the border, and on their way here, they passed by Daqing, where they had received a large amount of fuel supplies, at least, to ensure that the future fuel of the 103rd Division would not be affected.

In order to give full play to the strength of the more than 300 tank reconnaissance vehicles supporting the supporters, 30 fuel trucks were specially transferred from above, plus more than 50 fuel vehicles already existed in the 103rd Division, and for a time, the problem of fuel supply was almost negligible.

They are guarding the oil fields, and even if the output of the oil fields cannot meet the needs of the whole army, there is still no problem in supplying the three divisions. After all, the state has also invested here for several years, and it has also secretly accumulated a lot of oil.

On the other hand, after the Russians learned the news of the Chinese Empire's transfer of troops to the north, the domestic bloc was also in an instant uproar, and many people began to refute Nicholas II's decision, in fact, Russia had planned to send troops to the northeast a few years ago, and in the consciousness of the Russians, the northeast region was already their territory.

However, Nicholas II believed that time was Russia's best friend, and that every day of delay would make Russia stronger, so Nicholas II sent his confidant Bezobrazov to take over the affairs of the Far East and transfer Witte, who was originally in charge of the Far East, away.

Historically, because the Japanese realized that the Russians were getting stronger every day, they deeply felt that the later the war broke out, the smaller the chances of victory for the Japanese, and at that time the Japanese stood behind Britain and the United States, while the Russians stood behind Germany and France.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the British kidnapped Germany and France with interests in this life, I am afraid that they would still be on the side of the Russians as they have been for a long time.

Of course, although there is a slight deviation in history, in fact this deviation is not large, the Germans are still coaling the Baltic Fleet transferred eastward, and France is still willing to abide by the Russian-French alliance treaty, although secretly Germany and France have done things that are not kind to Russia.

But to put it bluntly, whether they are with the Russians or with the Chinese, some are just interests, although the Chinese can give them more benefits at the moment, but at this time the great powers really need colonies, with Wang Sirui coming to power, it is impossible for the great powers to take a colony from the Chinese Empire.

And some economic cooperation, Germany and France are also relatively passive, what do the colonies do? It is used to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, pouring domestic squeezed goods, and now the Chinese Empire is buying those goods that are in demand, although it is to improve the economy of the two countries, but it does not help those backlogs.

Therefore, as early as three years earlier, at the end of 1904, after Britain, France, Germany, and the United States had reached a tacit understanding with the Chinese Empire, the French secretly contacted the Russians and reported the situation to the Russians.

And Nicholas II is still the same as in his previous life, although the opponent has changed from the Japanese to the Chinese, but Nicholas II still feels that the Russians are not fully prepared, and still hopes to exchange time for the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.

So, on the one hand, the Russians pretended not to know, and on the other hand, secretly increased the strength of the Far Eastern Army.

And how many of those who can become great powers are fools? Even the Russians, who are called barbarians by the outside world, are they really stupid?

Britain, France, the United States, and Germany deliberately lured the Chinese Empire to become enemies of Russia, and is there no secret of invisible people in this? Although Russia and China have a family feud, Russia has invaded more than one million square kilometers of China's land, and this great feud is far greater than the enmity between the Chinese and the Japanese.

Therefore, a war between China and Russia is inevitable.

But Nicholas II was not stupid, he knew very well that the Chinese Empire also needed time, and the Russians also needed time, three years was enough for them to prepare everything.

And Nicholas II has even planned for a long time, this time, the Russians will definitely not shoot the first shot, they must give this opportunity to the Chinese, and then, the Russian army is counterattacking China, taking the opportunity to occupy the entire northeast, and even more land.

In this case, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and other countries, even if they knew about it, would have nothing to say that it was they who invaded Russia first, not the Russians who invaded them first.

In short, the British hoped to use the Chinese to draw the attention of the Russians to the Far East, and at the same time let the Chinese inflict heavy damage on the Russians, so that they were no longer able to touch the Far East and compete with the British in the Far East.

And the French secretly contacted the Russians and betrayed intelligence, did the British really not know? The British just turned a blind eye, and the Chinese and Russians fought to the death in the Far East, which also happened to be in the interests of the British.

Therefore, the British really could not find a reason to convince themselves to stop the French.

And the French are simply the best time for the French to intervene in the Far East when the Chinese and the Russians fight to the death. As for the British, China is such a big land, can you eat it in one country? The French are not very demanding, and it would be enough to have two or three provinces for them.

As for the Germans, although nominally they still occupied Shandong, in fact Shandong was not under their control, and the Chinese Empire also seriously compressed the interests of the Germans in Shandong, and Germany also needed to take back control of the Far East, which was the only German colony in the Far East, and they did not want to lose it just like that.

More importantly, the Germans hoped that through this war, all the attention of Britain, France, Russia, and the United States would be drawn to the Far East, so that Germany could achieve greater development in Europe.

As for whether they can take back Shandong, the Germans actually don't care anymore, they will not offend the Chinese in this matter, after all, after the second half of the year, more than one million rifles will be shipped from the Far East to Germany, at that time, Germany will basically complete the reserve of army equipment, only need a year or two of preparation, Germany can break out.

Let's let Britain and France be proud for a while, and in a few years they will find out that they have been doing a lot of trouble outside, and they seem to have a lot of face, but the Germans are going to empty their nests.

The idea of the Americans was even simpler, and the Americans wanted to intervene in the Far East several times, although the Chinese Empire gave the Americans a lot of benefits and allowed their industry to enter the Chinese Empire.

However, in the circle of the great powers, the Russians and the French repeatedly refused to allow the Americans to intervene in the Far East, the Germans stated that they needed to be seriously considered, and the British simply did not oppose or support it.

And it seems that there is no need for the Americans to offend the Chinese Empire for the sake of a colony, after all, the economic help brought by the Chinese Empire to the United States is still considerable.

So, while doing business with the Chinese, the Americans turned their attention to the Japanese, and they also wanted to train the Japanese, and then create some trouble for the Russians, the Chinese, and the British and French in the Far East, so that they would not ignore the voice of the United States.

Each country has its own ideas, but the only thing they have in common is that each country wants to see China and Russia fight to lose and then they can profit from it.

As for the two countries concerned, the Russians are almost ready now, and they already know that the Chinese will launch a war after the beginning of spring, so the Russians have secretly hoarded 300,000 troops in the Sino-Russian Heilongjiang border area, and on the surface, there are only tens of thousands of troops there, once the Royal Army stationed on the border starts a war, within a day, all 300,000 troops will immediately launch a counterattack.

After several deductions, the Russian army has even made assurances that they have absolute confidence that three days after the outbreak of the war, the battlefield will be transferred to Heilongjiang in the Chinese Empire.

And the Chinese will also steal chickens and rice this time, and as for the information from the French, the Russians selectively ignored it.

The Chinese's First Army has more than 300,000 troops, how can it only devote more than 100,000 troops to attack? Therefore, the Russians prepared according to the total strength of the First Army, and it can be said that this time the Russians were very careful, and it was precisely because of these forces, coupled with the guarantee of the Mongols, that the Russians were sure of victory.

Even, in order to prepare for this war, Russia mobilized millions of people to prepare, and among the 300,000 Russian Far East Army, more than 2,000 artillery pieces were prepared, although the number of large-caliber artillery is not large, but it is also very suitable for the terrain of the Far East.

And three years has also made the Russians a little bit rubbing their fists, and the Russians have hoarded 300,000 troops in the Far East that cannot be used up in a year, and when all aspects are ready, what reason will the Russians have to fail?

It's just that everyone thinks that they are very accurate in their calculations, and they are sure that they will take the biggest advantage, is the Chinese Empire a fool? On what basis did the great powers unanimously support the Chinese Empire? Delaying the war, is it only good for the Chinese Empire?

When the great powers were still calculating how much benefit they would get, Wang Sirui was already laughing and laughing at the short-sightedness of the great powers, once the three armored divisions were put into the battlefield, no matter how many Russians they were, they would not be able to stop it.
