In Yekaterinburg, in the headquarters of the Russian army, after receiving reports from all over the front line, the commander of the Russian army, Grand Duke Nikolai, finally showed a smile on his face, and the previous anxiety had disappeared cleanly!

"Haha! Well done! If those yellow-skinned monkeys want to destroy Russia, then be prepared to suffer more than two million casualties! Grand Duke Nikolai laughed loudly! The resistance of the Russian army in various cities has achieved satisfactory results, although the outer defense line has been lost, and the Russian army is now only holding on to various cities, but in the street fighting, they successfully resisted the attack of the squadron, and caused great casualties to the squadron! This result made Grand Duke Nikolai very satisfied, he stubbornly believed that the Russian army could not beat the squadron in terms of strength, but if the squadron could pay heavy casualties, and then retreat because of the difficulties, there may be a great possibility! This is also the reason why the Russian army turned these large cities on the Siberian plain into fortresses!

Grand Duke Nikolai now believes that the previous preparations of the Russian army have paid off, the squadron has suffered heavy losses in the street battles, and if it wants to destroy the Russian army on the Siberian plain, then the squadron will have to pay even more casualties! Such casualties are enough for China to bear! When the time comes, as long as Russia bows its head and asks for peace with China, the arrogant Chinese probably won't continue to hold on, and in that case, Russia will have a chance to breathe...... As for what the future holds, Grand Duke Nicholas did not know, but in his opinion, it was already very difficult for Russia to regain its former glory! What he can do now is to keep Russia as much as possible and let the rule of the Romanov dynasty continue!

"Grand Duke, Your Majesty has sent a telegram to inquire about the battle situation!" The adjutant of the Grand Duke Nicholas reported! Tsar Nicholas II, who was far away in Moscow, was also very concerned about the ongoing war on the Siberian Plain.

"Sue sù Majesty, we have resisted the attack of the Chinese, and if the Chinese want to defeat us, we can only fill it with human lives!" Grand Duke Nikolai said confidently! The attack of the squadron gave him a great shock The application of all kinds of new weapons, the Russian army was dizzy, if it were not for the Russian army to turn these cities on the Siberian Plain into fortresses, the Russian army wanted to resist the attack of the squadron, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky! Therefore, Grand Duke Nikolai was very glad that he chose to fight at night with the squadron without arrogance, otherwise, the Russian army would have been defeated by the Chinese now!

On the evening of April 30, Moscow, the Kremlin was still brightly lit! Tsar Nicholas II walked restlessly around the main hall, and the important ministers of Russia stood respectfully below, and everyone was also very worried about the battle situation on the front, which would be directly related to the future fate of Russia! If it fails, then Russia will not even be qualified to survive!

"Your Majesty, the Caucasus cluster has retreated to the Caucasus Mountains, relying on the dangerous terrain to block the attack of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! Although the Turks attacked very fiercely, they had many more troops than us! However, General Peter still resisted the attack of the Turks! It's just that he only has 300,000 people in his hands, and if he wants to fight back, it's impossible! "War Minister Kuropatkin proclaimed!

"Tell Peter that as long as we can resist the attack of the Turks and ensure that the Caucasus Mountains are under our control, this is a great achievement! As for those Turks, wait until we solve the other big troubles and then clean them up! Said Nicholas II! Now that Russia is under attack by several countries, all the Jīng Rui troops have been sent to the Siberian Plain, and the rest of the front can only be delayed as much as possible! This made it necessary for Admiral Peter to use 300,000 men in the Caucasus Mountains to resist the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army of more than 600,000! Moreover, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is still expanding its army, and the Sultan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Mehmed V, has arrogantly shouted that the Turkish Empire will expand its army to two million, reproducing the supreme glory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

"What about the battle situation in the Southwest Cluster? Will General Brusilov be able to withstand the invasion of Austria-Hungary and the combined forces of the Kingdom of Bulgaria and Romania? "Prime Minister Ivan. Goremygin asked! In addition to the fierce Chinese, the strength of Russia's old rival Austria-Hungary should not be underestimated. This time, two small countries from southeast Europe joined, although the two small countries together only invested hundreds of thousands of troops, but now Russia's jīng sharp troops are pinned down by the Chinese, which makes Russia's situation more and more dangerous!

"His Excellency the Prime Minister, General Brusilov, resisted the Austro-Hungarian attack on the front line of Brest and Vinnitsa, but he was also constrained by too few troops to launch a counterattack!" War Secretary Kuropatkin said.

This was his second time as Minister of War, so he was very cautious. The previous cabinet had already been disbanded by Nicholas II because of his unfavorable performance in the Great War! They were replaced by obedient old courtiers. Although this did not help Russia to change the current threatening situation, it at least made Tsar Nicholas II a lot more happy!

"It doesn't matter, the key point of this war is in Siberia, and nothing else matters!" Nicholas II said! If the Russian army can defeat the squadron on the Siberian Plain, or contain the attack of the squadron, then Russia will have the capital to immediately sue for peace with China and strive to continue to survive. If it fails, then Russia can only immediately raise its hands and surrender to the Chinese, and there is no other way!

"陛xià! A telegram from His Excellency Grand Duke Nicholas! "At this time, the chief guard of the palace ran in and handed the telegram to Nicholas II!

When Nicholas II took the telegram and saw it, he immediately smiled!

"Haha! The warriors of the empire are really good! We have resisted the attack of the Chinese in today's battle, and we have caused heavy losses to the Chinese! Grand Duke Nikolai was confident that he would drag the Chinese on the Siberian Plain and make the Chinese pay an unimaginably heavy price! Nicholas II laughed and said, the previous depression and worry seemed to disappear at this moment!

The other important Russian ministers also congratulated His Majesty the Tsar, and in their opinion, the current situation of the war seemed to be very favorable to Russia!

It was not only Tsar Nicholas II who was paying attention to the Great War in Siberia, but other countries were also paying attention. Kaiser Wilhelm II was overjoyed to hear that the squadron had been held back by the Russians in the Siberian Plain and had suffered heavy losses. Ordered the Germans to intensify their offensive, to capture Paris and all of France, and then the Germans were to turn around and attack Russia and occupy the fertile Eastern European Plain! Crown Prince William even held a ball in his palace, and celebrated the heavy losses of the squadron with many fox friends and dogs, and there were a lot of presumptuous remarks during the period, such as the yellow-skinned monkey is never the opponent of Westerners, and the whole world is still ruled by the West! It's just that if Wilhelm II had heard such nonsense from Crown Prince William in the past, he would have taught Crown Prince Wilhelm a hard lesson. When this time, it was as if Wilhelm II had not heard anything!

Austrian Emperor Franz. After Joseph I and Crown Prince Ferdinand learned that the squadron had failed in the Siberian attack, they immediately ordered the Austro-Hungarian ** team on the front line to slow down the intensity of the attack and maintain enough jǐng rings to avoid falling into the trap of the Russians! In their opinion, if the Chinese cannot defeat the Russians, then Austria-Hungary is alone in the depths, and without the cooperation of the German army, it is not so easy to defeat the Russian army!

What do other countries think of the failure of this attack of the ** team, the emperor Wang Yuze doesn't care at all! When Marshal Cai Yun's telegram came back, it was already late at night.

"Your Majesty, the Russians' defense of the Siberian Plain is very perverted, they have almost built those big cities into fortresses, and if there are large-caliber fortress guns, they are veritable fortresses! With the cooperation of the armored forces, we swept the Russian troops on the outskirts of the city lightly, but in the street fighting, we paid heavy losses! "Marshal Zhao Bowen, Minister of War, reported to Wang Yuze!

"How big are our losses?" Wang Yuze asked. This attack did not go well, which did not surprise him, the Russians had been building fortifications on the Siberian Plain for several years, and it was impossible not to have no effect at all.

"Your Majesty, the losses of the six group armies participating in the offensive are not small, our losses are about more than 20,000 people, the mercenaries of Rìben have lost about 50,000 people, and the Korean mercenaries have also lost more than 20,000 people!" Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo reported!

"Phew!" Although it was already known that the offensive at the front was frustrated, he did not expect that the losses would be so large, and on the first day he lost almost 100,000 people! If this continues, the squadron will not be able to withstand long losses even if it has gathered more than three million troops in Central Asia and the Siberian Plain!

"How big are the losses of the Russians?" Wang Yuze asked!

"I don't know, but it's certainly not too big! According to Marshal Cai Yun's estimates, the losses of the Russians were probably only about 50,000 people! A large part of it was lost outside the city! In the street battles in the city, their losses were very small! Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo said!

"Doggy Russians, did they really build the cities of the Siberian Plain into impregnable walls? Send a telegram to Marshal Cai Yun, asking all departments to work steadily and steadily, and not be impatient! Since the Russians have built the city into a fortress, then we will tear down their turtle shells little by little! Minimize troop losses as much as possible! Wang Yuze said! He wants to win, but he doesn't want this victory to be filled with human life!
