Chapter 454: The Great Collapse of the Russian Army (Part II)

The news of the approach of the First Cavalry Army to Ukraine really frightened Tsar Nicholas II, he could only transfer the main force of the Belarusian Front to the south, but was defeated again by Bai Lang, who had been prepared for a long time, and the Chinese First Cavalry Army defeated more than 2 million Russian troops with a limited strength of more than 70,000 people, which made the whole world dumbfounded, and the decay and weakness of Tsarist Russia were completely exposed......

The minorities of the Caucasus were the first to jump out, and the Islamic Republic was established before the main forces of the Belarusian Front moved south, and since the Tsarist army in the eastern part of the steppe of South Russia had been swept away by the First Cavalry Army, the tsarist government had nothing to do with them......

When the Belarusian Front was defeated, the Cossacks in the South Russian steppe also launched a rebellion, fortunately, before General Brusilov formed the cavalry front has pulled away the most combat-effective and appealing people, and at the same time the Central Asian Front has also pulled away a large number of Cossacks, especially the young and strong, especially the number of Cossack cavalry with combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, plus there are also many pro-Russian elements and a considerable number of regular Russian troops in Ukraine, so the situation is not completely out of control for the time being.

In contrast to the Cossack rebellion, the great Polish uprising led by Joseph Pilsudski really took shape, and in less than a month, more than 400,000 Polish rebels sprang up in Russian-occupied Poland like a trick! Although it has been more than 100 years since the death of the country (not counting the short-lived Grand Duchy of Warsaw), the Poles have always remembered the glory of the former "Pingdu Zhenlu" and have never given up hope of recovering the country! Joseph Pilsudski and the Polish Socialist Party "Revolutionary" led by him gave Poland's large-scale uprising a wise leader and a strong organization, and the Tsarist government no longer had enough strength to suppress the Belarusian Front when it was defeated by the First Cavalry Army, and the ambitious Joseph Pilsudski even wanted to seize the rare opportunity to further expand its territory and restore the former largest European power "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth", and the Lithuanians on the Baltic coast also responded positively, Make the situation even more difficult to manage......

Russian Finland also wanted to take the opportunity to become independent, but because the Central Front of Tsarist Russia was still there, and the Finnish liberation movement did not have a qualified leader (the historical "Father of the Nation" was still being reformed as a Tsarist officer in a prisoner of war camp in China), it never dared to carry out armed struggle, and remained at the stage of distributing leaflets on the streets, which could not be compared with the Caucasus, Ukraine and Poland.

Tsarist Russia is now facing not only civil strife, the threat of external enemies is equally terrible, outside of Tsarist Russia, the first thing that cannot be held back is the old enemy Ottoman Turkish Empire, which hates Tsarist Russia to the core, although the war against Russia has hardly taken advantage of the war in history, but seeing that Tsarist Russia has become weak like this, they really can't resist the temptation to regain the lost territory. So, the day after the news of the defeat of the Belarusian Front of Tsarist Russia was made public, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II ordered a national mobilization to begin the Caucasus to wash away the humiliation of the previous ten Russo-Turkish wars.

Only a little later than the Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary also began to prepare for war, although there are also many contradictions between the country and the Ottoman Empire, but seeing that Tsarist Russia has become a sick bear with little ability to resist, it is natural to take advantage of the opportunity of the polar bear to fall into the well, can not give it a chance to slow down, as for the Ottoman Empire, it doesn't matter much if it is solved later, although the current Austria-Hungary can only be regarded as a second-class power, but it is not too difficult to hang the ear.

Even the mighty Germany has begun to sharpen its knives, and now that oil has not yet become the main energy source, the value of rare metals has not been fully explored, and Germany has basically enough resources, but there is a lack of food, which is more important than energy. And Poland and Ukraine in the east of Germany are important granaries in Europe, and the Junkers have coveted it for a long time, but they are afraid of the strength of the Franco-Russian alliance so they have not dared to do it.

Naturally, the French government was very nervous about Germany's movements, and began to prepare for war, but Germany did not care about this, Russia was already crippled, and France alone was no match for them in any case. However, France is not the only one that does not want Russia to finish, let alone Germany to devour Russia's corpse and grow further......

The United States undoubtedly does not want Tsarist Russia to be finished, although there are very opinions about the vulnerability of the Russian army, but after all, Tsarist Russia has helped the United States drag down hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, and it has also consumed a considerable amount of China's materials. More importantly, once those three countries, especially Germany and Austria, invade Tsarist Russia, there will be no hope for the "Western world united anti-China" advocated by the US Government before, so we must try to stop it no matter what.

As a result, US President Theodore Roosevelt immediately issued a statement saying that the alliance between the United States and Russia is not only aimed at China, and that if any country wants to fall into the trap and invade Russia, the US government will not hesitate to declare war on it to defend its allies.

This statement of the US government still has some deterrent effect, don't look at the fact that the United States was beaten badly by the Chinese army before, but now the situation has stabilized, if you only want to maintain the situation, the Rocky Mountain natural danger is actually shared by both sides, and the more than 3 million federal troops of the United States have transferred one-third or even more troops out, and there is no pressure at all. If it joined forces with the French Army, which claimed to be the first in Europe, or at least the second in Europe, even the German Army would not be sure of victory.

As for the US Navy, although its strength has been greatly damaged, after all, it still has three battleships and five battle cruisers, and its strength can still rank fourth in the world and third in the West. Moreover, it cannot be ignored that the strength of the Tsarist Russian Navy did not suffer any losses in this war, and they are also the fifth in the world, plus the French Navy, which is the sixth in the world, the strength on paper is still quite considerable, and it is not inferior to the navies of Germany, Austria and Turkey.
