Chapter 16 Sino-Russian severance of diplomatic relations

"Report, urgent telegram from the Far East." A messenger took the telegram to Sukhomlinov, the Minister of War of Tsarist Russia.

Sukhomlinov sat on the chair and slowly stretched out his hand to finish the telegram from the Far East, he didn't think that there would be any urgent matter in the Far East, it was very likely that it was the matter of the garrison of the Chinese Empire, which had been collecting information about the garrison of the Chinese Empire recently, had it been a great progress?

When he tore it open and looked at it, he immediately stood up, and then continued to look carefully, after reading it, he shook his head in disbelief and looked at it again, and when he confirmed that he was not mistaken, he was very shocked and angry, the shameful Huaxia Empire actually attacked.

The fall of Serwusu has become a fact, he didn't expect the Chinese Empire to attack so quickly, to his surprise, he always thought that the attack of the Chinese Empire would also be carried out in a few years, the current Chinese Empire must be crazy, aren't they afraid that the Japanese will take the opportunity to enter the Northeast?

Sukhomlinov already knew that the Chinese Empire was determined to send troops to Outer Mongolia, otherwise he would not have launched an attack immediately after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement, and he would not even give the two foreign ministries a chance to fight a war of words.

Or did His Majesty have the foresight to increase the army in the Far East, especially in Outer Mongolia, which is very correct now, but it is not clear whether the Japanese will intervene in their war.

Regardless of what to do if the most important thing is to discuss this matter with His Majesty, even if Grand Duke Nicholas is in the Far East, but now that Serwusu has lost his life, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Sukhomlinov hurriedly asked people to prepare a car to go to the palace to meet Nicholas II, he did not dare to launch any orders for the Chinese Empire to sneak attack and start a war, otherwise he would be doomed if he lost.

Soon Sukhomlinov rushed to the palace, and after a dry inspection, he ran non-stop to find Nicholas II. At this time, Nikolai was discussing something with the demon monk Rasputin, and the two stopped talking when they saw Sukhomlinov running in in a panic, they did not know what made the Minister of War so anxious.

Sukhomlinov was also stunned for a moment when he saw Rasputyan here, but soon thought of the relationship between Nicholas II and Rasputyan, and couldn't care so much, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the Far East... Something happened in the Far East, the Chinese Empire went to war without declaring it, and Serwusu was ... Broken, this is the Far East ... Telegraph, urgent telegram from Grand Duke Nicholas. With that, he took out a telegram in his pocket.

After hearing this, Nicholas II immediately stood up and slapped the table and said in shock: "The Chinese Empire has not declared war, and Serwusu has been broken, how is it possible, how can they attack now?" Telegram brought. He snatched the telegram and read it.

"Bastard, the despicable and shameless Chinese Empire, like the Japanese, launched a sneak attack without declaring war, send me a telegram to Uncle Huang asking him to send someone to support Kulen quickly, Kulen can't afford to lose.

Immediately announce to the world the evil deeds of the Chinese Empire and declare war on the Chinese Empire, this is the war they provoked, and they are looking for death. The more Nicholas II spoke, the angrier he became.

Sukhomlinov was still panting there, and only Rasputyan was secretly happy that he had fanned the flames in front of the tsar when he sent Grand Duke Nikolai to the Far East in the first place. Grand Duke Nicholas couldn't see Rasputyan doing whatever he wanted in the name of the empress in the palace, and he had been working against Rasproyan, and Grand Duke Nicholas was the tsar's imperial uncle, and Rasproyan didn't dare to deal with him openly.

Now that the Chinese Empire is not declaring war, and Serwusu is also lost, there is the responsibility of Grand Duke Nicholas, if the war is lost again, he will have a chance to bring down Grand Duke Nicholas, if the war is declared, it means that more soldiers will be sent to the Far East, then his chance is gone.

"Your Majesty, we can't declare war yet, once we declare war, it means that we are really on the same page with the Huaxia Empire, according to the young Huaxia Emperor, he just came to the throne and needs a war victory to consolidate his rule, if we declare war, Huaxia will definitely use all the strength of the whole country to deal with the empire.

The population of China is very large, and an army of hundreds of people can be organized at any time, more than the hateful Japanese, if they also learn from Japan, the empire will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the population is not comparable to us, please think twice! Rasputyan explained.

At this time, Sukhomlinov, who was relieved, said: "Your Majesty, we should not declare war, after all, on the issue of Outer Mongolia, all countries know that the Chinese Empire will definitely use the excuse of counterinsurgency to show its justice, so we will not have a good influence in the international community."

After all, the current China is no longer the cowardly Manchu Qing in charge, and once war is declared, we will inevitably invest millions of troops, or even more.

Declaring war is to push China into a desperate situation, and the crazy Chinese are much more terrible than the Japanese, and millions of troops are terrible to think about. What's more important is that now our navy in the Pacific Ocean is basically gone, and we can't stop the Chinese navy at all, and I don't know what Japan's attitude is, and the current situation has been messed up by the Chinese Empire. ”

"It's okay not to declare war, break off diplomatic relations, call back all the ambassadors in Huaxia, and let them be the businessmen. Let the troops of Vladivostok and Sakhalin strengthen their vigilance against Japan, and the Japanese must not be allowed to take advantage of it, so in order to ensure the interests of the Far East, I have decided to increase the number of troops in the Far East by another 300,000.

We must deal with those yellow monkeys in Outer Mongolia, and we must not let them step into the territory of the empire, and the other thing is to show me the three eastern provinces of Manchuria, and not let the Japanese take away the interests of the empire there. Nicholas II said sinisterly.

Sukhomlinov nodded and said: "Your Majesty, if we send 300,000 troops to the Far East, the empire will be empty, do you think we should recruit troops again in the country to enrich the country?" If we expand our army, there will be a shortage of weapons, do you think you can contact Britain and France and ask them to help, after all, their relationship with the Chinese Empire is not very good.

It is necessary for us to send people to talk to the Japanese again, we can appropriately give up some of our interests in the Far East to stabilize them for the time being, and we will come back after we have defeated the Chinese Empire, and we can also ask for more from the Chinese Empire. ”

Nicholas II frowned and said: "It is necessary to contact Britain and France, but not now, we don't need their help to deal with the weak yellow monkeys, and we will let them witness after we kill the yellow monkeys." However, their solidarity is still needed, after all, the image of the empire cannot be affected because of this.

Damn the yellow monkeys, they are taking advantage of the current situation in Europe to take advantage of the sneak attack, otherwise I will send more than a million troops to kill them, damn it. ”

Rasputyan and Sukhomlinov did not speak, but looked nervously at Nicholas II, who was angry, they did not know that the Chinese Empire would win, and now that the Siberian railway was opened, the Empire could indeed quickly send more troops to the Far East, which was not a lie.

"Your Majesty is angry, how can the weak Huaxia be the opponent of the empire, and now is the right opportunity to take this opportunity to officially control Outer Mongolia in the hands of the empire, maybe you can get more land.

His Majesty had to believe in the talents of Grand Duke Nicholas, and with him in the Far East, he would certainly not lose anything, and it would be easy to defeat the Chinese Empire. Rasputyan patted the ass and said.

……

At noon on the second day of the capture of Serwusu, Tsarist Russia officially declared that the Chinese Empire had not declared war, and attacked Serwusu on the night of July 25. Tsarist Russia strongly condemned the Chinese Empire's blatant invasion of other countries, and once again stated that Outer Mongolia was an independent country, and the Russian army was only invited to help. In the end, it officially broke off diplomatic relations with the Chinese Empire, withdrew its ambassador to China, and built a rapid withdrawal of the imperial citizens in China.

Almost at the same time, the Chinese Empire also announced that it would officially send troops to Outer Mongolia to quell the rebellion, and the stationing of Tsarist troops in Outer Mongolia was a provocation to the empire and strictly interfered in the internal affairs of the empire. When Serwusu was captured, there was only the Outer Mongolian army, and there was no Tsarist army, and it strongly demanded that Tsarist Russia withdraw the army from Outer Mongolia, otherwise it would be regarded as a Outer Mongolian rebel liquidation.

As soon as the Chinese Empire was announced, they received a statement from Tsarist Russia to sever diplomatic relations, and the Chinese Empire immediately announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia again, abolished an unequal treaty signed between the Manchu government and Tsarist Russia, and recovered the concessions, and the Tsarist Russian troops in the empire were regarded as enemies.

The announcement of the two countries caused an uproar in the whole world, and the Chinese Empire was now attacking Tsarist Russia, and all countries thought that the Chinese Empire was crazy.

Japanese Prime Minister Katsura Taro was so shocked that he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground after receiving the announcement from the two countries, and shattered it with a bang. The intelligence department was severely scolded by Katsura Taro that day, and several high-level officials of the intelligence department were demoted, and the one in Huaxia was even more miserable, and he was directly replaced with a new person in the end.

What made him even more angry was that the Chinese Empire only sent the news after the announcement that they were ready to attack Tsarist Russia, and then looked at the date stupidly, it was sent last night, but the Chinese ambassador to China only brought it now, on the grounds that he was drunk at a banquet in your country last night.

Even last night's message made him very angry, you only sent a telegram a few hours before the start of the war, isn't this playing tricks on him, can you not be angry?

Angry and angry, things have happened, he can only write this down and immediately ask the logistics staff to speed up the transportation of logistics materials to North Korea and Huatai Island.
