"Look at the newspaper and read the newspaper, Lao Maozi rushed forward lightly, and 70,000 people jumped into the ambush circle set up by our national defense army, and were besieged by Tacheng......"

"Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper, the former fierce general, today's national pillar. The battle of Renhua Bangsari Mountain won five battles and five victories, and the Cossack cavalry was defeated......"

……

"The army gathered, and the battle of Tacheng was about to break out......"

"The emperor drove to Tacheng yesterday, and it is expected to arrive at the front line in two days......"

"Foreign media publicize that the Grand Duke of Tsarist Russia and the commander of the Russian army gathered more than 100,000 people to go to Alahu in person!"

……

Time is always so graceful, and it doesn't change its pace because of anything.

Twenty days passed little by little. However, the war situation in Xinjiang as a whole has undergone decisive changes. Skobelev's 70,000-strong army was completely defended, and the Russian army was only sending to death several surprises, and these 70,000 people were already fish on the chopping block, which could be slaughtered by the Wehrmacht!

The Battle of Mount Surrey was also reversed. The losses of the Russian army exceeded eight thousand people. Although Shirokov escaped his life, his fate was already decided.

The changes in the Sino-Russian war alarmed the whole world. Whether it was the super-large-scale artillery bombardment in the Battle of Alatau or the brutal tug-of-war on the green plateau in southern Xinjiang, they all grabbed the attention of the whole world. Piece by piece press release flew all over the world.

China's image is slowly improving, because in that piece of news, you can see the strength of the Chinese army.

Foreign journalists praised both sides of the war in exaggerated terms, they interviewed people, they interviewed soldiers, officers. They interviewed prisoners. The Chinese army still has no more than 100 prisoners of war, and this has also erected a monument of loyalty, dedication, and sacrifice for Chinese soldiers in the hearts of the people of the world.

The war to the present. China has announced that the number of casualties has exceeded 10,000, and the number of casualties is close to 15,000. And what is the concept of less than 100 prisoners of war?

The Russians were not sensitive to the number of prisoners of war at first. They finally caught the prisoners of war, and they were all displayed in front of everyone's eyes, and the numbers were not kept secret at all. As a result, everything was reported, and it was compared by the Western media with the number of Russian prisoners, and the Russians knew that things were not good, but they couldn't save anything at all.

Ren Huabang only captured more than 3,000 prisoners of war in the first battle of Sari Mountain, and more than 1,000 people were captured in the tug-of-war in southern Xinjiang, but there were not many prisoners in the Battle of Alatau. However, the battle on the Ili River was not limited to the Alatau battlefield, and the number of prisoners of war gathered in other battlefields also exceeded 600, and finally the Battle of Tacheng was counted.

Liu Xian only used prisoners of war, and he made Russia lose face.

……

Ili is now the center of the entire Western Front battlefield and a city where hundreds of domestic and foreign media gather. Every day, every hour on every street, you can see journalists wandering around with their cameras hanging up. Many of them are foreigners with blue eyes and big noses, and they look no different from Lao Maozi.

The civil telegraph office in Ili was the busiest place in the entire city of Ili, and it was busier and busier than the emperor's line in Ili. Because Liu Xian had twenty telegraphs that sent and received messages. There were only two in the telegraph office. With so many reporters having to shoot messages to their own newspapers, you can imagine how busy and nervous they are.

Even some journalists made their homes next door to the telegraph office. In a short period of time, there were two more coffee shops around the Ili Telegraph Office that had not appeared in the whole of Xinjiang before, which was simply specially prepared for those foreign reporters. Of course. It can also be said that it is dedicated to earning money from those foreign journalists.

Braid put down his coffee. I looked at my new friend on the left-hand side who had been lying on the coffee table writing and drawing. Ark. "Ark, what are you writing about? It's been an hour, so focused? ”

Braid finally spoke. He didn't feel like Ark was writing a press release. Nor is it combing through the correspondence. These two things are the most important things in the profession of a journalist, even if it is a friend. I will never pay attention, let alone ask.

But Ark wasn't just writing for an hour. He also painted, drawing long lines diagonally and vertically, rather than straight accents.

Ark looked up, he glanced at Brad, didn't speak, but shook his head vigorously. His head had been hooked for too long, and he was a little dizzy.

"An hour? God, it's been so long. "The coffee is cold." I'm really sorry, Breid. "It's a very rude thing to put your friends aside and only get busy with your own business, both at home and abroad.

"No need to say sorry. We're friends. I'm just curious what you're doing! Bred took a sip of his coffee.

"If it's about work, don't say it. I asked, do you think you...... It didn't feel like tidying up just now. ”

Sjell. Ark beckons the waiter for a cup of coffee. The man leaned back in his chair, "Of course it's not work." I'm curious about the ongoing Battle of Tower City. How did both the Chinese and the Russians mobilize their troops? In such a short period of time, the eyes of the hidden man have mobilized so many soldiers. ”

Ark said as he handed the piece of paper on which he had written and drawn to Brad. It's still a mess in my head.

The New York Times is a first-class newspaper in the United States, and he is not the only reporter who sent reporters to the third Sino-Russian war. Xinjiang alone has two of his other colleagues, and among the Russians, there are four New York Times reporters, one of whom is a Russian of the new immigrant generation and the other is of Slavic origin. They must have heard more from the Russians. But after Ark summarized some news from the other side of the headquarters, the information on both sides was put together, and there was no obvious connection.

The Russian army of the three divisions of Alahu and the Chinese army of 50,000 people, the transfer of troops on both sides, are all so secretive.

Just now, Ark listed the information on both sides of the paper one by one according to the date. In contrast, there is no trace of it in the life before the outbreak of the war. Of course, it is also possible that the headquarters is hiding something from itself.

"Oooh......" Breed cried first.

The heat of the Battle of Tacheng has lasted for half a month, and he is also very concerned about this, after all, although the battlefield in Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang has always been very fierce and cruel, it lacks a big scene. On the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, the battle of Sari Mountain was won by Russia first and then defeated, and Shirokov escaped with the remnants of the defeated army, but everyone knew that he would not have a second chance to make a comeback.

Skobelev's Russian army with five divisions also won first and then lost. He was the first to occupy the first truly important Chinese city, but unexpectedly it was a trap of the Chinese army, and the strength of five divisions was then tightly surrounded by the Chinese army in Tacheng. The Chinese also took the opportunity to sweep the Alahu area with cavalry, destroying two Russian supply depots.

Now the Russian army has gathered in the Alahu group, and the Chinese army has also gathered 100,000 people. Nikolayevich and His Majesty the miraculous Emperor of China will soon be here, the first real general battle since the Third Sino-Russian War.

And the battle of Alatau has already stopped. The Russian army could not penetrate the defense line of Alatau City under the superior forces. The same Chinese did not have the urge to pile up the Russian line with their lives. The Battle of Alatau, which provoked the first round of the climax of the Third Sino-Russian War, has now come to an end.

Now everyone's eyes are focused on Tacheng.

If Ark can find some clues in the table he has listed, analyze them, and open his mind, the press release will definitely be welcomed.

Breed is a British journalist, and although the current international relations between the United States and Britain are very bad, this does not prevent him from becoming friends with Ark, nor does it prevent him from stepping in.

Each journalist has his own sources and some secret gossip. Braid picked up his pen and added the information he knew to it. Then he put the paper between him and Ark, and the heads of the two men were going to come together. At this moment, if you use the words of later generations to describe the two, it is full of feelings.

"Oh, shit. There are still some uncertainties. Breed shook his head. As a veteran who has been in China for two years, he knows some information that Yak is not accessible to a newbie. This is not only because the influence of the British in China is not comparable to that of the United States, but also because China is a society of personal feelings. And it takes time to deal with 'human favors'.

Ark pinched his eyebrows and took a sip of the coffee in his hand. "If we want to figure it all out, we're going to go to the Germans. But I don't think that's necessary. We are journalists, not historians. While journalism requires fairness and facts, it also allows for unimportant mistakes. ”

"Uh-huh!" Ark shrugged his shoulders at Brad's gaze.

"Good idea." Breed chuckled. yes, what were you thinking? I am just a journalist, not a historian, not a military historian, is it necessary to figure it out so clearly? As long as there is a compelling press release, it will do.

What are the facts? It's none of my business. Only the pound of the newspaper is true and praised by the Lord!

"We need to prepare well. But press releases must be rushed out as soon as possible. Breed said.

Now the decisive battle in Tower City is about to break out. If the decisive battle of Tacheng is over, and he only publishes the whole manuscript, the news value will be too bad.

"Of course. It took us a day to get the manuscript out. I booked a train to Tacheng tomorrow night. ”

Ark said as he stood up and took a deep breath. He looked at the paper on the coffee table, and his tone was a little embarrassed. "Tonight was a brain-wielding night. Let us praise God for the birth of a great military strategist in this ancient country. The actions of the Russians were fully anticipated by His Majesty the Emperor of China. ”

"Suddenly, I am not optimistic about the victory of the Russians in the Battle of Tacheng."

"I think the victory should belong to the Chinese. Belong to His Majesty the Great Emperor. ”

Ark's tone was full of admiration, only by straightening out the time of the transfer of the Chinese army could the military talent of the Chinese emperor be seen, which was really as dazzling as the sun. (To be continued......)
