In April 1884, the Battle of Moscow, in which more than 400,000 Chinese and Russian people participated, ended in the defeat of the Russian army, but in the battle and the street battles in Moscow, the Chinese army encountered unprecedented fierce resistance, and the blood of Chinese soldiers was spilled on almost every street in Moscow.
Although the cost was enormous, since the independence of Muscovy from the Mongol horde four hundred years ago, Moscow was once again captured by enemies from the east, and the shock to all Russians and the whole of Europe can be imagined.
Meanwhile in the East, the British Empire lost its last port city in India, and Australia declared independence from Britain and remained neutral from the Sino-British War.
However, the Chinese apparently saw this as a delaying tactic by the British, and still stubbornly declared war on Australia and blockaded Australian ports with the navy to force the Australians to surrender as soon as possible.
The move was condemned by the Americans, who in a sense were very similar to Australians, whose early countrymen were immigrants from Britain and Europe.
The Kremlin flies the Imperial Flag and the Imperial Royal Army flag, and this majestic red-brick complex serves as the headquarters of the Northern Corps of the Imperial Expeditionary Force.
The commander-in-chief of the Western Russian Expeditionary Force of the Empire is General Zheng Zewu, that is, the famous "Eagle Dog" who has followed Ye Zhao by Ye Zhao's side since he served as the commander of the Gyeonggi Garrison, and the headquarters of the Expeditionary Force is located in Samara, a heavy industrial city in the middle reaches of the Volga River in Russia, and one of the first large Russian cities to be conquered by China.
Ye Tuwa, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Force, is the Dahur warrior Tuva who Ye Zhao served for when he was outside the pass, Ye Zhao has a great favor to him, and since then, the entire Dahul clan has followed Ye Zhao, and Ye Tuwa is also the first warrior to be given the surname of the country.
Before the outbreak of the Sino-Russian War, Yetuis was the commander of the elite of the Royal Army, the Xiangshan Army, a viscount of the first class, with the rank of lieutenant general.
In the Aleksandrovsky Hall on the first floor of the Great Kremlin, Yetuva was drinking tea and chatting with Crown Prince Yaoxun, Yaoxun had been following Zheng Zewu as a staff officer of the General Headquarters Staff Office, and before the Battle of Moscow, he insisted on coming to the Northern Army Headquarters, and was a staff officer of the Yetuva General Staff.
Of course, his staff officer is only in name, and most of the time he is "participating but not conspiring", attending meetings without making a sound, and just listening to what others say.
Ye Tuwa and Ye Zhao have a deep relationship, Yao Xun knew this General Ye when he was very young, because the two got along well, Ye Tuwa was not very particular about etiquette, Yao Xun liked to get along with him.
There was a globe on the table, and Yetuva turned it and said, "This war will not end in a year and a half."
He and Yao Xun were talking about naval warfare, although Britain has now lost India and lost its base in the Far East, but its naval battle blueprint was quickly rewritten, and the name of the first naval power for more than 200 years was not a fluke.
Although the empire occupied various port cities in India, it was difficult to make full use of the docks left by the British in a short period of time, so the confrontation with the British fleet in the African Strait was temporarily at a disadvantage. …,
The British warships were not slow to be launched, and at the same time, their Pacific Fleet began to replenish its blood with new warships.
Yao Xun said: "The time has dragged on for a long time, but it is really a competition between the snipe and the clam and the fisherman profits." ”
Yetuva snorted coldly: "The Americans answer the old saying, if you don't bite people, you will respond to people." "Since the Civil War, the United States has been reducing its standing army, and now it has only a few tens of thousands of soldiers, and its national strength is not very strong.
However, China and the United States are separated by oceans, and it is easy to send a navy to blockade its ports on the west coast, and if it is said that the landing operation, the empire, which is busy fighting a war with the Allies, is really not enough, not to mention that the blockade of its west coast has no effect on the United States, whose west coast has just been developed, and most of its industrial cities are on the east coast.
Yao Xun thought for a while and said: "If we can control the entire territory of Russia as soon as possible, so that we can help Germany win the war on the Western Front, Britain and France will definitely sue for peace." ”
Yetuwa said with a smile: "Your Highness is right, but the war on the Western Front is fierce, and it is better not to participate in it." He shook his head and said: "The Russians are tenacious, not to mention that the Baath Party cheated the political power under the guise of national rejuvenation, if it surrenders, its ruling foundation no longer exists, whether it surrenders or not, we all need to fight steadily and steadily, and take the consolidation of the occupied areas as the first priority. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a loud report, and a middle-aged officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in outside the door, and Yetuwa smiled: "Your Highness, come, let me introduce you, his name is Zhang Debiao, the company commander of the reconnaissance company of the Giant Spirit God Infantry Brigade." ”
Yao Xun stood up and shook hands with Zhang Debiao with a smile.
Zhang Debiao was recruited into the headquarters, and when he saw General Yetuwa, he was full of excitement, and he didn't hear what Ye Dashuai said clearly for a while, let alone what the young officer who shook hands with him came from. But you don't need Mr. Ye to come forward in person, right?
Yetuwa smiled and asked Zhang Debiao: "Did your brigade commander tell you?" ”
Zhang Debiao stood up and said loudly: "Yes!" Brigade orders, from now on, he will directly obey the command of the commander! ”
Yetuwa smiled: "I am also from the Yellow Banner infantry, don't be too restrained, you didn't hear what I said just now, haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon?" ”
Zhang Debiao was stunned, looked at Yao Xun for a long time, and then hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is rude to be disrespectful......
Yao Xun had already pulled him up and said, "Don't be formal, on the front line, I'm just an ordinary soldier." ”
Yetuis said: "Debiao, Your Highness wants to take a walk around the city of Moscow and prepare some materials for the regime in the occupied territories, and your company will be responsible for protecting Your Highness during this time, you don't understand these political things, but if the political measures are appropriate, it will be more effective than you exterminating a hundred guerrillas, do you understand?" ”
Zhang Debiao snapped and said loudly: "I don't understand anything, but I will definitely protect the safety of His Highness!" Humble duty, Your Highness here! The humble position is not there, and so is His Highness! ”
"Okay, okay." Yetuwa nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Your Highness's identity is only known to you, and even your brigade commander must keep it secret." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Debiao stood up again.
In May 1884, according to the proposal of the crown prince Yao Xun, in the Russian occupation zone, began to distribute the "good citizen certificate" system, the cost of the photo on the good citizen card, the Russian residents need to pay for themselves, many East Russian officials can not help but take the opportunity to collect money, the Russians complained, but the haters of the Chinese can not be influenced by how gentle you are, the good citizen certificate system for the security of the occupied areas played a role in promoting needless to say, but also set the tone of the Chinese military department's policy of hard rule over the Russian occupied areas. …,
In June, a general strike of American railroad workers in San Francisco spread across the country, and workers protested against the tension between China and the United States because of the government's pro-Allies position, and the use of the West Coast ports by the British Navy brought Sino-American trade to a complete standstill, leaving transport workers without work and making life difficult.
Some lawmakers have fiercely criticized President James Murphy. Abram. Garfield's foreign policy was that the United States should remain neutral in the war and should not abandon the cornerstone of American foreign policy laid by Mr. Monroe.
Many business heavyweights, such as oil tycoon Rockefeller, have openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the government, and Rockefeller has even said that he will not support the next Republican candidate because the Republican Party's policies will put the American people on the brink of war.
In such a huge protest, many ordinary Americans began to take to the streets to demonstrate, because the government's policy is tilted towards the military industry, with the current industrial base of the United States, the production of civilian consumer goods will naturally be greatly reduced, the United States is an immigrant commercial society, never a self-sufficient economic system, now sugar is rationed, everyone has to live a life without meat on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, many manufacturing steel is saved for military use, and even tin for children's toys is also planned by the government.
This is unbearable for the free American people, especially since there is simply no need and benefit from participating in this war. On the contrary, it could provoke the invasion of the vast empire on the other side of the Pacific at any time, and it is understandable that anti-war sentiment in the United States is rising.
Some parliamentarians also pointed out. The current slump in the transportation industry is nothing more than a legacy of the economic crisis, and has little to do with the stagnation of trade between China and the United States, and the railroad workers are just being exploited by entrepreneurs who have inextricable ties with China. The use of this war to promote the arms trade in Europe will affect people's lives in the short term, but in the long run, it will play a huge role in boosting the US economy.
Some congressmen even pointed out sharply that the United States is no longer the United States of Americans, and that Chinese is about to buy the United States, and that the funds obtained from Britain by Rockefeller in those years actually came from China, and that the US steel, oil, and transportation industries have been invaded by Chinese capital on a large scale during the economic crisis that broke out 10 years ago, and now the financial oligarchs and oligarchs in various industries have become puppets of Chinese and are the spokesmen of China.
However, the remarks of these parliamentarians did not make a splash at all in the wave of anti-war that rose higher and higher, and they seemed so weak.
In July, President Garfield was attacked by gunmen and died. Allan. Arthur became president, the most junior president in U.S. history.
When the news reached Beijing, Ye Zhao had to sigh and make people, as in history, President Garfield became the second president in the history of the United States to be assassinated, but this time I am afraid that it has nothing to do with the split of the Republican Party.
