Chapter 161: Siberia (6)
Japan, yes! At present, our main enemy is only Japan, and because of the European battlefield, whether it is Britain, France, Germany, or Russia, they have begun to shift their attention, and at this time, the only thing that is still staring at us is Japan, which is the size of a projectile but has an extremely strong military strength.
And just when President Yuan Da was thinking like this, the Czech envoy once again opened his mouth and added: "Russia will have a large number of soldiers transferred to the European battlefield, and they will be replaced by the Foreign Legion of the Czech Principality, and they will make concessions on some interests, and the Northeast is still your Northeast instead of Japan!" ”
Military support, political compromise, if these are nothing, then even if they fail, they will not have any effect, these together are enough to make Yuan Shikai know what he should do. Let alone...... The dream of the emperor in his heart is also likely to be agreed with the support of the three Austro-German Czech states.
The secret envoy of the Czech principality had a secret meeting with President Yuan Da for more than 5 hours, in which the generals below discussed what agreement the two sides reached, but no matter what, Yuan Shikai was smiling when he went out.
The events of the Far East soon reached Prague, and no one knew how excited Ernst would be when he got the answer that everything was going well, and everything was going in the direction he had hoped. Of course, neither military aid nor non-commissioned officer training could be separated from Germany, after all, the Czech principality did not have a navy.
While German aid was still on the way, the Foreign Legion of the Czech Duchy in Siberia had already arrived in the northeast, and the Beiyang government compromised and successfully crossed the border to confront the Japanese soldiers in the northeast.
The army of the Czech principality is not the Russian army, which is very clear to the Japanese Kwantung Prefecture Governor's Office of the War Department (the predecessor of the Kwantung Army), although the other side only has more than 25,000 soldiers plus more than 30,000 Russian soldiers, but Japan still does not dare to take it lightly, and the performance of the Czech Principality in Europe is quite good.
The generals of the War Department of the Kanto Prefecture gathered to discuss the newly arrived Foreign Legion, and the snow outside was just like the mood of these generals at this time.
The silence in the conference room under the fragrance was a little uncomfortable, and at this time, an officer with the rank of Dazuo finally couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Do you want to test it?" ”
Most of the conference rooms are major generals, lieutenant generals, and even a senior general, and where the group of generals gathers, a big Zuo naturally has to be more cautious when he speaks. However, no one paid attention to these at this time, and several generals couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, indicating that they were the same opinion, but the first general frowned and did not answer.
"Maybe they are just perfunctory and are not ready to go to war with us, after all, the Czech principality and Russia are now in an opposing state, if they don't have malicious intentions for us to try ...... like this."
Because of the European battlefield, in fact, the situation in the northeast has stabilized at this time, after all, they are all in the same camp, whether it is Russia or Japan, and the war has been truces for many days at this time. If it weren't for the sudden change of troops, the Japanese side would have been so peaceful until a new opportunity arises.
But at this time, it is no longer useful to say this, the army has been replaced, who knows what Russia's idea is? At this time, Japan's tentative attack is the truth to see Russia's reaction, and it is really uncomfortable to let such a situation go, after all, it is a reason to catch thieves for thousands of miles and prevent thieves all day long.
No matter what kind of thinking Japan thinks at this time, the temporary stability of the Northeast region makes Yuan Shikai feel a little more at ease, compared to Russia, he still thinks that the Czech principality is more reliable, maybe there is also a Czech principality far away in Europe and the Russian Empire is a neighbor!
The city of Mary was not very peaceful at this time, and more than a thousand young Mongolians and their families and relatives came here in a noisy manner, which surprised Colonel Schellner, who had been living here, but he did not seek out Archduchess Mary for questioning, but only mentioned a few words in a letter to Nicholas II.
With more than 1,200 Mongolian youths and more than 3,000 relatives and families, Maria City was already a large city at this time, but it was obvious that it was impossible to accommodate these thousands of Mongolian people.
These youths are only the first batch, all Kurt has to do is to set up a cavalry regiment here, 3000 is just the basic number at the beginning, and in the future they may become cavalry divisions or even cavalry regiments. Although these Mongol cavalry were very good at riding and shooting, they needed to adapt to the times, bows, arrows, and sabers had fallen behind in the future, and the weapons in their hands were Mauser rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and even artillery and fighters.
When more than 1,200 Mongolian youths were gathered, the first thing Kurt said was that the talent of the Mongols was not only in the land cavalry, but also in the air cavalry, they could still smile at the sky and recreate the glory of their ancestors, and because of this sentence, 30 of the 100 ace pilots of the Czech principality in the future came from Mongolia.
The city of Maria is a city with complete education, politics and economy, and the unified language here is German, of course, because of the geographical location, Chinese is also the second language here.
During the training of soldiers, they will have a three-week language course and a simple military command course, which is a good thing, because after the three-week course they will have a diploma, which will be a great advantage for their future promotion, and of course after such training is the real hardship of soldier training.
In terms of horseback archery, these estimates can be Kurt's teacher, but the battlefield needs not these, the Mauser rifle has touched some but that is only a small part, they still have a long way to go in this regard, and the fighters are not to mention, a year they can be qualified to fight is already very good.
At this moment, everything began to go smoothly in Maria, and after the simple language and command training course, Kurt also left all his duties to a previously selected brigadier general of Chinese descent and left Siberia for the Czech principality to take over his position as commander of the air force.
Nicholas II was naturally aware of the affairs of Siberia and the Far East, but he surprisingly ignored it and allowed his daughter or son-in-law to toss around there.
Christmas 1914 has come, but at this time the world is almost at war, who will spend Christmas in a down-to-earth manner? And even in the East, the lively Spring Festival in previous years began to be slightly inferior this year, after all, the dynasty that had been enslaved for a hundred years suddenly collapsed, and the hearts of ordinary people were panicked at this time.
Yanjing was busy at this time, although the German military supplies had not yet arrived, but the gift of the Czech Duchy was in Yanjing, which was enough to equip the weapons of 3 elite army divisions. Accordingly, there were hundreds of training officer groups, whose role was to train a German-style army for Yuan Shikai that was absolutely loyal to him.
Why a German-style army and not a Czech-style army? In fact, it is all the same, because even the Czech Duchy is also modeled on the training of soldiers in Germany, and the main reason why the combat effectiveness of the Royal Army of the Czech Duchy exceeds that of the ordinary German army is in the equipment.
At this time, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang government had agreed to join the Allied States, and many senior officials of the Beiyang Government were also in a state of recognition.
At this time, in addition to the enemies in the south, the Beiyang government's main target now is Japan in the northeast, with the help of the Russian army and the Foreign Legion of the Czech principality, I believe that they will not have much problem driving Japan out of the northeast, as for how to deal with the Russian army after driving out Japan, we have to wait for the changes in the European battlefield.
In fact, regardless of whether the Allies are victorious or defeated, it is believed that the Russian Empire will be in a state of passive attack in a short period of time, and it is only a matter of time before the soldiers in the Far East are transferred back, so it is not a matter of time for Japan to be a big problem for the Russian Empire. This is the main reason why Yuan Shikai agreed to take action against Japan, otherwise it would be in his best interest to sit back and watch the tiger fight.
Emperor? If there is a merit in expelling the Japanese invaders, I believe it will be much easier to become emperor! This is Yuan Shikai's idea at this time, after all, he was a great hero at that time, and if all forces wanted to speak up or resist themselves with actions, they more or less lacked some morality, after all, he was a national hero!
Although German aid is still on the way, they have begun to compromise on the matter of Qingdao, and the main Beiyang government has announced that it will join the Central Powers, so there is still no problem with the return of Qingdao, and they will do their best to help with the problem of the British and French colonies.
Although this land is rich, if you can win the war, countless colonies in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa are waiting for you. It's just a Qingdao, and it's worth giving up for an ally.
Of course, Germany will not admit one thing, that is, even if Qingdao is not returned to the Beiyang government, then the probability that they can defend it is very low, after all, how many German soldiers are there in Qingdao and how many Japanese soldiers are in Southeast Asia? That's not a level at all.
Rumble!
With this cannon, the war in Tohoku, which had been quiet for a while, started again, and even though Japan and Russia were both in the Entente, the war in Tohoku still began.
