The 8th SS Division and the newly formed 9th Division were given the opportunity to participate in the campaign, but everyone knew that the SS troops, in addition to their notoriety in Indochina and Southeast Asia, now had their greatest task to collect wealth for the Reich and increase the collection of the Reich Museum.

When Zhang Zheng arrived in Chelyabinsk, he found that the original town had become a ruin, although Chekov repeatedly emphasized the so-called non-existent military discipline, but most of the troops of the New Russian Liberation Army still looted the local rich and the nobles of Tsarist Russia under the guise of one kind or another, and all kinds of silver annihilation and plundering incidents were also endless, in Zhang Zheng's view, Chekov's military discipline of the New Russian Liberation Army made people dare not compliment at all.

Zhang Zheng was most worried that Chekov would evolve his army into a so-called army belonging to the Russian people after he had a political trainer, which was what Zhang Zheng was most worried about. Because the Chinese Empire does not need a unified and strong Russia, it needs a Russia that is divided into several countries.

It can be said that by all the criteria, Chekov's gang title is really not in vain! However, what Zhang Zheng didn't know was that Chelyabinsk and many towns along the way became a ruin and rubble, and the two SS divisions of the Chinese Empire also played a very big role, and Chekov's troops naturally did not dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and the tiger pulled teeth out of his mouth! The SS of the Chinese Empire just relied on the three words of the SS, and it was enough to make people have nightmares, and the Russians even rumored that the soldiers of this army in black clothes and black pants had to kill at least 1,000 people each to enter the army, and they also had to be able to sleep with the dead in their arms, and cut human flesh directly when they woke up.

It can be said that all kinds of rumors and completely demonized the SS of the Chinese Empire, Chekov hoped that Zhang Zheng would be able to participate in the attack on Moscow, but the heavy army group of the Chinese Empire commanded by Zhang Zheng did not mean this at all, except for ensuring the exploration of the production and construction corps, only two SS divisions of the Chinese Empire were operating alone, and the rest of the troops were all concentrated in Chelyabinsk for renovation.

For this reason, Chekov deliberately rushed back to Chelyabinsk to have a fruitless meeting with Zhang Zheng, who told Chekov very clearly that before the Chinese Empire formally declared war on the Russian Empire, the troops of the Northern Military District could only operate within the territory occupied by the New Russian Liberation Army.

Chekov felt very helpless about Zhang Zheng's explanation, but Chekov had no way to take Zhang Zheng, because all the weapons and military supplies of the more than 600,000 New Russian People's Liberation Army had to be distributed to him through Zhang Zheng, so Zhang was the master that Chekov could not afford to offend.

As far as the battle plan formulated by the General Staff of the Chinese Empire is concerned, Lin Haijiang does not want Chekov's New Russian Liberation Army to become a new force in Russia at all, what Lin Haijiang wants to do is to instigate a great split among his ethnic groups in Russia, so that Chekov's New Russian Liberation Army will build a large-scale defense system with the Ural Mountains as the longitudinal axis, that is, the border between the future New Russian State and the Old Russian Empire, from Vik in Noel to Irkutsk as the border between the New Russian State and the Chinese Empire. In this way, the new Russia became a strategic buffer zone of the Chinese Empire, and the barren Siberia made Chekov only rely on the Chinese Empire, during which Lin Haijiang was ready to continue to provoke the contradictions between various nationalities within Russia, and secretly supported the Kazakhs, Tajiks, Chechens, and Cossacks to carry out the so-called freedom of reading movement, and finally turned the current old and new Russia into more than a dozen reading countries, which is the embodiment of Lin Haijiang's final strategy.

On April 21, 1869, because of the huge logistical pressure, all the patience of Wilhelm I was finally exhausted, and the German army and the dawn began a large-scale offensive in front of the surname, and the war on the Western Front in Europe, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, finally broke out. Now that the Great War has finally broken out, whether it is William I, Queen Victoria, Emperor Napoleon III, and the commanders at the front, it can be said that they have suffered for more than eight months, and the outbreak of the Great War has only relieved all of them.

The fierce battle of the Western Front, the German army with 20 divisions of the strength of the use of special shells made in the Chinese Empire to open the way, directly pointed the edge at the left flank of the Germans hated the most hated British expeditionary force, in the middle of the right flank mainly to attack the armies of other countries of the Entente, so that the original master of this battle, the French, was in an awkward situation, in the case of the opponent's onslaught to change the defense is tantamount to a stupid act, but if some necessary adjustments are not made, then not only the British, Spaniards, The Dutch, Greeks, and Portuguese will all suffer heavy losses, although the British Royal Navy is dominant, but the British army is not the opponent of the Germans at all, not to mention the Spaniards, the Dutch, the Greeks, the Portuguese, and so on.

The British army, which was not at all prepared for the large-scale use of new gas shells by the Germans, suffered the heaviest losses, after all, the Dutch, Spanish, Greek, and so on invested relatively few troops, most of them were two divisions or three or five divisions, and even if all the losses were limited, the British expeditionary force deployed as many as twenty-two divisions on the left flank of the front, and the defeat of almost equal forces in defensive operations in just one day simply made the British Army set a new European record. The enraged Queen Victoria was also glad that the British Army's title did not have the word royal in front of it.

With the outbreak of the Battle of Vosule, the previous period of fighting on the Eastern Front turned the world upside down, but the Russian army fell silent, the fortress of Gozów has become a lingering nightmare for the Russian army, although the total combat strength of the Russian army has reached as much as one hundred and sixty, but the Russian army is not the elite, most of the troops are temporarily formed after simple training, it can be said that the tactical thinking of the Russian army is still stuck around 1855, although the Russian army has also set up a general staff, However, the Supreme Chief of Staff of the Russian Army, Milodelov, seems to be a personal staff member of Nicholas I, and the meaning of the existence of the General Staff of the Russian Army lies in Milodelov's personal influence on Nicholas I.

Although Milodelov found some Poles who participated in the construction of the Gozów Fortress, but these Poles are ignorant of the overall construction of the fortress, with several vague drawings of the outer fortress outlined in his memory, Milodelov stood in front of the sand table and couldn't sleep all night, now not only him, Nicholas I is also difficult to ride, Gozów Fortress actually has a huge underground passage system, which Milodelov originally knew, Little did he know, however, that these tunnels were capable of passing small minecarts towed in sections, which meant that the forces inside the fortress could be used at any time to assemble and form an effective counterattack if the defenders wished.

On the contrary, the plan of the Milodelov plan to open a breakthrough from one point has also been put on hold, a concentrated attack will not be effective, and a full-scale siege will still not work? Approaching a roundabout blast can easily trigger the opponent to use poison gas bombs? Artillery suppression is basically equal to ineffectiveness? More than 70,000 wounded and more than 140,000 bodies of officers and men who died in battle are still being buried one after another, some of the corpses have rotted and stinked, and some units have even developed horrific diseases such as jawscutia.

Milodelov looked at the panoramic sand table of the Gozów Fortress, he had only seen the panorama of the Gozów Fortress on the sand table so far, as for the core fortifications he had never seen with his own eyes, those thick fortress groups full of perforations, even if they were hit by naval heavy artillery of more than 200 mm, they would only gnaw off a small corner, and ordinary artillery under 100 mm could only scrape off a layer of skin.

The Chinese Empire has made another big move in Siberia, the reconnaissance cavalry of Chekov's bandit army has appeared on the outskirts of Moscow, Marshal Duravievsky is standing by, Prince Enfiglo is about to move, is the Chinese Empire really trying to invade the Russian Empire? Or was it a strategic feint to relieve the siege of the Gozów fortress? Milodelov knew that without the support of the Chinese Empire for the Chekov bandits, it would only be a matter of time before Chekov was completely wiped out.

However, if the Chinese Empire really decided to invade the Russian Empire without declaring war, then the main forces of the Russian army fighting in the fortress of Gozów at this moment should be immediately transferred back to Moscow, and once Moscow is lost, the supply of the two million troops on the front line will be interrupted, and the troops will be unstable and difficult to control, resulting in the entire tsarist regime is likely to be shaken or even collapsed.

Milodelov knew that at this moment Nicholas I was waiting for his decision, and Milodelov very much wanted to take a risk, that is, to surround the fortress of Gozów with 500,000 troops, and the main force directly crossed the fortress of Gozów with a maximum of a month's supplies and attacked Berlin directly, so that the German army would inevitably withdraw troops on the Western Front, which would give the Entente an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, Milodelov knew that he could not afford to take this risk, if the Entente side did not immediately engage in a counterattack once it hesitated, or could not break through the German defense line in a short time, and the main Russian army could not capture Berlin before the German reinforcements arrived in Berlin? Then hundreds of thousands of Russian officers and soldiers will probably fall into a desperate situation where they will run out of ammunition and food.

In the end, Milodelov made a very painful decision, leaving thirty infantry divisions under the command of Marshal Duravievsky to besiege the fortress of Gozów, and the main forces of the Russian army immediately returned to Moscow.
