Chapter 6: The Ambition of Life (2)
Waking up from a trance is like waking up from a deep dream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Lu looked at it, but it was in the abandoned warehouse in his hometown. Those scenes of artillery fire, those scenes of flesh and blood, and those scenes of heavy snow are all like a dream. However, he threw a punch into the air, and the air made a faint popping sound. This move is the "Iron Fist" that everyone in the Black Dragon Society army will make.
If the power is real, then those scenes must also be real. He walked out of the warehouse and picked up his phone on the floor, just a few minutes before he entered another world. In just a few minutes, he had been reborn.
It's snowy in that world, and it's still spring. Gu Lu smiled at the blue and pure sky, very good, very good, better than he originally expected.
In another world, General Oyama Iwa was not very willing to go north in the first place. After receiving the annihilation of the allied forces in the encirclement, he was even more justifiably stuck in Tianjin. When the armies of other countries saw this situation, they also failed to do their work.
Originally, the Japanese were very interested and wanted to enter the city of Beijing and make a fortune. However, after several months of continuous fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, but they could not grab anything, so they naturally extinguished this thought. Moreover, the Japanese government was always hesitant to commit more troops, and Ito Hirobumi was strongly opposed to the destruction of the Manchus. He said at the Imperial Council: "Today, the imperial kingdom's war preparations are not ready, and it is extremely unwise to throw soldiers into the Hebei battlefield. Even if China is destroyed, what will we, the Great Japanese Empire, gain? Is it the three eastern provinces or Beijing? Even if it is given to us, will we be able to keep it? Will the Great Powers support our annexation of China's Elite Lands? Blindly sending troops without solving these problems is not the work of a wise man. ”
The Minister of War and the Chief of Staff also opposed the mobilization of more soldiers to attack China, "The enemy of the Imperial State today is in Lu (Russia), not in the Manchu Dynasty." If the Manchu dynasty falls, who will replace it? ”
At this time, the important ministers of the Meiji era had not yet withered away, and although they were as ambitious as their descendants, they had a vision of the big picture that the short-sighted Showa warlords did not have. Their plan does not include the delusion of swallowing China outright. And now that the Russians have expanded their influence to the vicinity of North Korea, according to Lao Maozi's usual urine nature, the next step is to swallow the whole of North Korea. In this case, it is better to let the Manchus themselves decay forever.
The defeat on the battlefield in China made the junior officers resentful, and many people clamored for severe punishment for the violent support, but they were suppressed by the generals above. "It's so easy to go to war?" The old men all said this, which made those young Zhuang factions resentful. Feelings: You won the First Sino-Japanese War and got rich one by one, and when it was our turn, you changed your rhetoric?
However, the military discipline within the Japanese army is strict, and the hierarchical oppression is terrifying, and as soon as those old men star, the little shrimp below can only bow down and obey orders.
The Japanese were reluctant to move, but the Russians were still desperate. The wounds of the Crimean War have long been healed, and the greedy Russians have not taken advantage of the bottom, so they have set their sights on the undeveloped treasure land of the Far East, and some non-combat attrition is nothing, even if all 200,000 troops are killed, it can only be regarded as another defeat. For the Tsar, as long as he could get more land, it was worth it to die another million people.
What's more, did the Manchus still have the ability to withstand the surging Russian army? I'm afraid it's already the end of the crossbow, right? With the fierceness of the Cossack cavalry, I'm afraid that it may not be a flat push. The Russians were extremely arrogant and did not take the Manchu troops inside the pass into account.
After the emergency mobilization, the Beiyang Army is also constantly stockpiling grain, grass and ammunition, and replenishing all combat units to full strength. At the junction of southern Hebei and Shandong, where nothing had happened, many spies of the Beiyang Army appeared. The spies rode fast horses and went in and out frequently, making the atmosphere suddenly tense.
"This is really, just went to the hungry wolf, and then came the tiger." Chen Cheng shook his wine glass and said, "Can't we take a good rest, let us take a breath and fight again?" ”
"Well, the Russians call it a tiger. Yuan Shikai, this waste material, is at best a soil dog! Lin Mengchu said disdainfully: "That is, we now see that we are tired after the war, so we dare to come out to pick up the cheap." ”
"Haha, Chu Chu, it can be seen that we are in a state of weakness now, which is already a great ability, and there are still some handsome men in the Beiyang Army."
"Even if we are short of food and ammunition, it is not something that a mere Yuan Shikai can deal with!" The girl said: "The only thing to worry about is that he and the other two coalition forces will attack us together, and we will have to take care of one and lose the other." ”
"Oh, Chu Chu, don't you have confidence either?" Chen Cheng said: "I thought that even in this unfavorable situation, you could turn the world over with confidence." ”
"Hmph, if the strength is not comparable, it is not comparable, what is there to taboo? Just a few more years later, I can press all this waste to death on the ground one by one. ”
"That is to say," said the boy, shrugging his shoulders, "but what we lack most is time." But ........"
"But what?"
"It's easy to buy time."
"Huh?"
"Shall we make peace with the British?"
"Hey, you're going to jump from the camp of the main battle faction to the side of the main peace faction?" The girl said curiously: "Even if Zai Yi scraps a little bit of material, it's not good to abandon him like this, right?" ”
"It's not that we abandoned him, it's that he refuses to do it himself, who is to blame?" Chen Cheng drank too much, and his mind was already in a trance. Although he could force the alcohol out with a little force, he still allowed himself to continue to be in this dizzy state. Just because, this feeling of relaxing the mind has not been experienced for a long time.
"The king is at ease, the minister has a plan to solve the immediate crisis!" The young man who had drunk too much said unashamedly: "No matter how brave he is to the Russians, no matter how cunning he is Yuan Shikai, but as long as we hug the thighs of the British, they will all kneel down and call Dad!" ”
"Hug the thighs of the British?" The girl's face was surprised, "Are you awake?" ”
