Chapter 557: The Russian Army Arrives East

The pressure of the German army on the German-Russian border was supported by Russia's emergency mobilization, Germany is not fully prepared for war at present, facing an increasingly tense situation, there is a possibility of misfire at any time, the mediation of European countries, plus the two countries themselves are not ready to fight, in the end, Germany withdrew its troops to the second line, faintly guarding against Russia, and the Russian army also dispersed the urgently mobilized million troops, and the long-term concentration of troops will not only consume a lot of money, but also make the tense state continueAt this moment, Russia does not want to fight with Germany at all.

The tension in Europe, because of the contraction of Germany and Russia, gradually calmed down, if the two countries really misfired, the whole World War will break out directly, which is different from the war between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, Germany at that time really did not expect that it would cause a big war, Britain promised not to intervene in the Balkan issue, which is one of the fundamental reasons for Austria-Hungary's declaration of war, but Britain was ready, and the First World War broke out.

The Tsar, who breathed a sigh of relief, once again thought of the Far East, and the entire Russian political arena began to revisit the Far East war situation, China, which had been bullied all along, would actually fight back against the assimilation of Great Russia, and prepared the Mongolian plan for several years, under the dispatch of troops in the northwest, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, it dissipated without a trace, not only did it not make it possible to obtain Mongolia, a land of 1.5 million square kilometers, and obtain an important step in the plan against Yellow Russia, but because of the counterattack in the northwest, a beautiful slap in the face in the Far East, 210,000 troops, almost lost more than seventy percent, only twenty or thirty thousand people, fled back to Chita in panic.

Defeat at the hands of Germany, it is nothing. The strength of the German Army is obvious to all, but there is a huge gap in equipment, not to mention the training and personnel, the German Army. The illiteracy rate was less than 0.1 per cent, but in France it was 6.8 per cent and Austria-Hungary was 22 per cent at the same time. Illiteracy was not completely solved among the junior officers, let alone the lowest soldiers.

There is a huge problem with the resumption of the battle plan for the Northwest, which was able to completely defeat the 18 divisions of the Russian army led by Samsolov with similar personnel. Although it may be because of his own command mistakes, Brusinov should be able to gain a certain advantage, but no one dares to guarantee that 200,000 will definitely not work, 300,000 may be enough, is it 400,000.

The mobilization of a huge army requires a considerable amount of money. Especially in the Far East, it was a nightmare in terms of transportation, but fortunately it was summer. In winter, the cold of Siberia is enough to wipe out any outdoor activities.

Nicholas II was a stubborn man, and in the face of the resistance of the Northwest, it was tantamount to slapping him in the face naked, and the first thought was to knock him out. Even in Russia's financial difficulties, Nicholas II generously came up with hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is already a lot of magnitude for the tsar, who has always been stingy. Since the Tsar has taken out hundreds of thousands, they have also squeezed out hundreds of thousands of dollars to make up a million dollars in cash, plus some of the arms mobilized by the Russian government, to once again promote the operation in the northwest.

Russia is a big country, and they have a lot of weapons and equipment stored in their arsenal, not all of which are new, but in the eyes of arrogant Russia, against such a local force in the northwest, hundreds of thousands of troops are enough to overwhelm them, and if they are a little behind, they will be a little behind, at most they will increase some in artillery, and Russia can also make battleships, and the large-caliber artillery is not weak, basically, a batch of artillery of more than 180 mm has been supported to Brusinov.

In their view, Russia's strength should not be wasted in the Far East, but should maintain its suppression of Germany, and once Britain is ready, it can quickly take action against Germany, and the increasingly strong Germany has made it difficult for Britain to sleep.

This time the conflict was in the face of changes in the northwest and the Middle East, so that Britain began to be wary of this emerging power, such a force has come together with Germany, and even advanced funds to build the Basra port and the Baghdad railway, since Russia is willing to teach him a lesson, then teach a lesson.

Germany's attitude is, of course, opposed, but it is only opposed, and there is an intersection between the northwest and Germany, I am afraid that the only thing that intersects is the Baghdad railway and the Basra port in the Middle East, and there is no agreement with the northwest.

In fact, the protest did not work at all, enough funds to let Brusinov's footsteps also begin to move forward slowly, the German-Russian conflict intensified, the army located in the European part, now after the ease, but the German army has not completely retreated, but retreated to a place about 70 kilometers away from the border, with the help of trains, can be mobilized to the front line at any time, of course, Russia cannot put the troops in Nanshan, the European part cannot be transferred on a large scale, only temporarily transferred 3 divisions and 1 brigade, the rest, It was raised by Brusinov in the Ural region and the Far East, on the orders of the Russian High Command, Brusinov could form 3 army groups for operations in the northwest, and the specific troops were selected by A, and then orders were issued through the Supreme Command.

Unlike the German army group, which is mostly two armies of four or five, at most six or seven divisions, the Russian army group is all bloated, with as few as ** divisions, and as many as 20 divisions, the military strength of the Urals and the Far East is all second-line troops, and the combat effectiveness cannot be satisfactory to Brusinov, in accordance with the orders of the high command, he notified a total of 42 divisions and 12 brigades, plus 3 divisions and 1 brigade in the European part, as he carried 6 divisions, a total of 51 divisions and 13 brigades, a total of 600,000 troops, than previously planned, At least more than 2 times the increase, the military strength is at its peak.

The concentration of huge military strength, especially Russia's high-profile announcement of the army, known as 800,000, all of a sudden, made the Far East once again attract the attention of the world, Russia is really going to move seriously, 800,000 troops, more than twice as high as all the military strength disclosed in the northwest, the world powers, basically not optimistic about the northwest, even Germany has a guò Bordo, came to ask whether the northwest needs support.

Germany's attitude looks sincere, but Yang Yuanzhao doesn't think so, Germany's purpose he knows very well, this is a critical moment, in a sense, is the real test of the northwest, if you survive this pass, in the next few years, even after the outbreak of World War I, the northwest is a smooth road, blocking the attack of the Russian army's **100,000 troops, the northwest is already qualified to stand in the forest of the world, anyone who wants to interfere in the northwest, must first weigh and weigh, whether there is this ability, especially Japan, which is close at hand, That is the biggest enemy hindering the Northwest.

Germany is not so kind, aside from the previous ones, if Germany does not withdraw its troops at the border, the Russian army will not come west so easily, Germany's 300,000 suppressed borders, attracting at least 1 million Russian troops, and some of the remaining troops have to guard against the huge territory of the entire European part, which has hollowed out Russia's main army, and if the northwest needs Germany's help, as long as Germany increases its troops, or makes a move in Austria-Hungary and Turkey, the Russian army may not be able to mobilize.

Germany obviously fought this idea, and now that they have this attitude, they need the northwest to pay. Germany has a close relationship with the northwest, Germany is also one of the great powers, has a sphere of influence in Shandong, China, and even in the 1900 invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, Germany was also one of the leading players.

Yang Yuanzhao chose Germany as a cooperation, but at a critical moment, the lesser of two evils, before World War I, or even at the beginning of World War I, he could completely take back the rights that belonged to China.

The army pressed the border, even the army of about 600,000, and the entire northwest was also nervous, through some channels of Germany, some channels established by Harpy later, the northwest got some things, when Brusinov was on the road, most of the information about Brusinov and most of the Russian divisions under his command had been placed on Cai Yi's desk, no matter what, Russia had decided to start a war with the northwest in the Far East, to fight a war, then it was only handed over to Cai Yi, who was in the past war, With strength and proven strong command ability, even Feng Yuxiang, the first person, is a little incomparable.

Knowing that it was another tough battle, even in the face of an army of 600,000, Cai Ye was not worried at all, the distance from the northwest was a little far, the army with such a variety of technical equipment in the northwest had a particularly large demand for logistics, if it was still the previous situation, maybe the 600,000 army would be completely crushed, and once it could not be resisted, it could break through the defense line.

It has been more than 4 months since the first battle of the city, the strength of the northwest lies in the strength of the military industry, but also in the strength of the construction force, now not only the simple road has been built, but the hardening of the pavement of the new highway has reached about 300 kilometers, which is almost most of the road from Kulen to the city of Buying, Brusinov will arrive at least 15 days, and most of the road surface will be hardened in 15 days.

Trucks with a load of more than 15 tons can pass, such a road, for the logistics capacity of the trading city support is extremely huge, the completion of the hardened road surface, not only the ability to resist natural disasters and wind and rain is greatly increased, the traffic capacity can also be guaranteed, 1,500 cars of the convoy, can be in one day, between Kulen and the trading city, the northwest has established a large-scale arsenal in Kulen, and even in the second half of the trading and underground fortifications, a sufficient number of arms are stored, Enough for the consumption of a big war.
