Section 125 French Weak Chicken

"Hit, hit!"

Gong Mingde shouted, his two buddies changed him to operate the machine gun, although he was very reluctant, but everyone had to come in turn, and he had no choice, just watching the infantry and cavalry on the ground under the strafing of the airship machine gun fire, people turned on their backs and ran in all directions, he couldn't help but be excited.

Ten miles south of Liaoyang, a large group of Russian troops who had completely lost their formation were completely stunned.

They went to reinforce the Lushun reinforcements in Fengtian, the soldiers in Fengtian had lost their combat effectiveness, and it seemed that Liaoyang's was similar, and there were only 100,000 people under Kontrachenko, who still maintained a certain combat effectiveness at this time.

However, when they were marching in the form of a marching army and rushing to Liaoyang in a neat and dense formation, suddenly a group of airships flew in the distance, flying at a speed of 100 kilometers, throwing bombs above their heads, and strafing extremely strongly, and there was no shelter on the flat ground, and they soon collapsed.

The airships scattered, firing desperately at crowded places.

It's messed up, it's completely messed up, is this still the Russian army, the Lushun Russian army that fought to the death with the Japanese?

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh that the turmoil in the country had too much impact on the psychology of the front-line soldiers, and I was afraid that after the tsar suppressed the civilians, many soldiers would be confused and not know who they should fight for.

Even the bombing and strafing were carried out until the sun sank in the west, and then they hurried back to Mukden, otherwise it would be dark, and Yang Chao would not care when he arrived, and the other drivers would probably get lost.

told Wu Peifu about the situation he was aware of, and let him realize that the current Russian army is a soft persimmon.

"Humble duty, please go to Liaoyang, once Liaoyang is defeated, we will join the Ma Huowa Department, even if the enemy of Lushun is coming, we will not be helpless and afraid!"

The men he brought with him were bandits, disobedient and unable to command, and they could only take possession of the city before they could be brought together.

Kondrachenko only has 100,000 people, this time it was disrupted 30,000, I don't know how much I can go back, once Wu Peifu joins Ma Huowa, 100,000 people are blocked in Liaoyang, it is difficult to say whether Kontrachenko will dare to attack.

"Attack Liaoyang, what if the Russian army in Harbin goes south?"

Yang Chao couldn't help asking.

Wu Peifu said: "I will leave 10,000 troops in Fengtian to defend." Hopefully, the bandits along the way will destroy the train road. When our army captures Liaoyang, let's rescue in the camera. ”

"In this way, tomorrow I will bomb Liaoyang with you, and when you capture Liaoyang, I will lead people directly north and block Harbin reinforcements along the road."

Yang Chao thought for a while and said.

Wu Peifu thinks it is reasonable.

The next day, Wu Peifu couldn't wait to go south, if the Russian army in Liaoyang had no fighting spirit at all, then he would have the possibility of capturing Liaoyang, with such an army in his hand, he actually occupied two cities one after another, or the Japanese threw down more than 100,000 lives to capture the fortified city.

The whole world didn't expect this outcome, so everyone was a little caught off guard.

When the news reached Russia, the Russians saw it as a humiliating fiasco, and all forces frantically agitated against the Tsar.

Stolypin was frantically suppressed.

He wants to stabilize in reform first, this is a people who does not know how to compromise, you can't talk to him well, he intends to use barbarism to subdue ignorance.

The bourgeois revolution of the British was enough to make them feel honored, because they did not shed blood, they sat down together, and they got things done.

The French were very enthusiastic and impatient, and when they were not satisfied with the government, they took up arms and drove out the Bourbon Emperor, ushered in the Jacobins who were poisoners, exterminated the Jacobins, they welcomed the Emperor Bonaparte, Bonaparte was gone, Bourbon came again, drove out Bourbon they republican, and finally welcomed Bonaparte, and drove away Bonaparte, and then they settled down.

The French know too well the cruelty and twists and turns of the period of social transition, so when the Russians are always unable to handle their domestic affairs, the French are like ants on a hot pot.

The tsar had gone into hiding, and now it was Stolypin who was in charge, and the tsar was not a decisive man in the first place, and when he succeeded to the throne, he told his father that he was still young, and he was not ready to govern the country, and he had no interest in governing it, so he inherited the country; Later, in the First World War, he was swayed by his queen, and he was swayed by the magic stick behind the queen, and he lamented that he was a marionette.

It was only when he was at war with the Japanese that he took the initiative, because he hated the Japanese, he hated the Japanese, because the Japanese almost hacked him to death with a knife.

But in the face of domestic problems, he really didn't pay any attention, Witte said let's make a constitution, we must restrain some imperial power, he said then a constitution, but all kinds of forces still do not relent, Stolypin said that it must be suppressed, first stabilize and then reform, he said then suppress.

At this time, the Qing army came and said that they wanted to take back their land, but for that land the tsar drove his people to shed the blood of more than 100,000 people, and the land in this world, isn't it who bleeds whom, he can't make up his mind, the French say that the international community does not agree, and they have to negotiate with the Chinese, and the tsar said to find Stolypin.

The French went to Stolypin, and Stolypin said that the army of Great Russia would not retreat, and the French Foreign Minister Théofil Delcasse said, "If your Great Russia never learns to retreat, Great Russia will not accept its existence."

Delcasse is definitely not an ordinary person, he has been the French foreign minister for a long time, and the French cabinet has changed like a flash, but any party will stay in him as foreign minister after coming to power, because he is indeed too qualified for this position.

As soon as Delcasse took office, France clashed with Britain because of the partition of its colonies in Africa, and the French single-handedly solved the crisis and began to be friendly with the British, and signed an Anglo-French agreement with Britain during the Russo-Japanese War, turning the British into a quasi-ally of France, and then he has been committed to promoting the reconciliation of Britain and Russia, trying to form a military alliance between Britain, France and Russia against Germany.

During his tenure, Germany has been trying to make up for the mistake of losing Russia, Wilhelm II played the family card and got very close to the tsar, and the tsar himself was completely unwilling to be an enemy of Germany, because the Romanov family itself was from Germany, and successive tsars married German aristocratic wives, or female tsars took German aristocratic men as husbands, and the family was of Germanic blood from top to bottom.

Wilhelm II and the Tsar were cousins, and they were about the same age, so they had always had a good relationship.

But Wilhelm II wooed the Tsar and even finalized a treaty with the Tsar, but the Tsar could not convince his ministers to agree to ratify the treaty.

In the diplomatic war between Germany and France, the French always had the upper hand, and they always put Germany in a situation where they were caught between two sides, and the trader was this Delcasse.

The French are almost at all costs to win over the Russians, they need the Russians more than the Russians need them, the Russians and the French alliance is nothing more than to prevent Germany from dominating the European continent and then threatening Russia's position, while France is out of real national security.

In order to win over Russia, the French even threatened Britain at one point, and provided most of the military expenses that Russia recognized.

Why is this, the French said that they want to take revenge on Germany, of course, revenge is just a slogan in the mouths of politicians, the real purpose is for national security, in the name of revenge to maintain security, but why win over Russia, of course, it is very advantageous to attack from both sides, but I didn't see Napoleon's era to win over Russia to do Prussia, Napoleon alone did these cowards.

So the real reason is still the problem of strength, when the British Industrial Revolution, the French were in the revolution, when the British expanded their overseas colonies, the French were still in the revolution, when the British became the world hegemon, the French revolution was over, but the daylilies were cold.

Then Prussia rose up, swept through Central Europe to unify Germany, and established the German Empire, and a huge shadow hung over the poor French rooster, who at this time suddenly found that he had become a weak chicken.

Having become a weak chicken, the French had to co-opt allies, co-opt the British, curry favor with the Russians, and hoped that the British and the Russians would also form an alliance to bring about a Triple Alliance, which could flank the Germans from land and blockade the Germans from the sea.

The French had been doing this, and they had been on their way to success until Yang Chao marched into the northeast.

"During the Franco-Prussian War, the French, like Russia now, were completely isolated by the international community. At that time, if we could have been wiser, we could have taken advantage of the situation when Prussia attacked Austria, and now the Russians and the French may still be leading the way on the road of Europe. Why not let a German step in. ”

Delcasse told Stolypin that a wrong direction could have immeasurable consequences.

"Europe is too small to accommodate the voices of three big countries, let alone one that wants to call the shots."

Delcasse continued.

Stolypin was not at all moved, he was a hardliner and he was somewhat contemptuous of diplomacy.

"Looking through history, in the past three hundred years, in the competition between mainland countries and the British, can you find successful examples?"

Delcasse sighed, because France was also one of the losers, Spain had failed, the Habsburgs had failed, the Dutch had failed, Russia had also failed, and the French thought that Germany would be the next to lose, but only if Russia was saved.

Stolypin's beard trembled, and he showed that he was moved by the slow half-beat characteristic of the Russians.

Delcasse added: "If Russia keeps trying to challenge Britain, there will always be an infinite number of land powers that will come into conflict with Russia, and Russia will one day have to retreat, and then it will be too late to choose." ”

After Delcasse finished speaking, he got up and took his leave, he came to talk about the Northeast issue, but he kept mentioning the British, because the Northeast issue is actually the British problem, it is the Russians who want to annex the Northeast, and the British will never allow it to annex the Northeast, as for the Qing government, that is not a problem at all, as for the 'clown', it is just a small problem.
