"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, I will make a pilgrimage to the Volga River and break the Russian army ......"

"Cold wind and snow fields, thousands of miles around, 200,000 Russian troops are wiped out!"

"Waiting for work, 40,000 tigers annihilated three times the Russian army......"

"60,000 Russians as prisoners of war, new ...... to the prisoner of war camp"

When the results of the Battle of Talaganda were announced, the whole of China was once again cheering and rejoicing, and the momentum was not much smaller than that of the Battle of Tacheng. The Chinese people are very familiar with their own situation, and no one thinks that they can compete with Britain and France, although they all think that their own army is unparalleled. However, in these years of founding and opening up, the huge colonies of Britain and France and the world's first and second ranked fleets still make the Chinese people uneasy.

Whether it is ordinary people with little knowledge or scholars and bureaucrats with certain cultural standards, the larger the territory, the more financial resources are deeply rooted. The territory of England and France is ten times that of Russia, and they are all rich lands. With Britain and France behind the backs of the Russians, the old Maozi's soldiers don't have to be endless. And "Huaxia Daily" and "Ta Kung Pao" have war columns, dedicated to introducing the various wars and geography, the Wehrmacht has been killed in Europe under the leadership of the emperor, and has killed the heart of Lao Maozi, and the Volga River is like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in China, which is the core essence of Lao Maozi. While countless Chinese are proud of the Wehrmacht and their own emperor, they also know very well that the closer they are to the core of their homes, the stronger the power they encounter.

Many newspapers also analyzed the pros and cons of the logistics of the Chinese and Russian armies in the Vogar River valley operation, and the cost of the Chinese defense forces in transporting a box of ammunition from the rear to the front-line troops was completely more than ten times that of the Russians in sending a box of ammunition to the front-line troops. What is alive is the reality of "eating the enemy for one bell and being me for twenty bells" in "The Art of War".

So far, the whole dynasty has placed great trust in the fighting power of the Wehrmacht and the invincibility of Liu Xian. But because of this many cognitions. But they were all worried about the battle of Talaganda. It's really a huge disparity in military and material resources between the two sides. But now Liu Xian won another beautiful victory, winning clean and beautiful under such difficult conditions. The hearts of all the people of the dynasty are like a big stone has been lifted. It's easy to fly.

So the whole of China once again showed the great joy of the battle of Kebita. This red celebration fell in the eyes of the current British ambassador to China, Dou Nale, and the French ambassador to China, Li Mei, which was so embarrassing for the two.

Dou Nale. Born in 1852 into a family of army officers. He joined the British Army in 1872, joined the British Foreign Office in 1884, and now serves as British Ambassador to China. In the history of the original plane, he also served as a minister in China, but the time was pushed back by several years.

Li Mei's qualifications and time in China are much better than Dou Nale's. In 1855 he was stationed at the French Consulate in Shanghai as an interpreter and as a judge of the French Concession Inquisition. In 1859, he worked as an interpreter at the consulate in Guangzhou. The following year, he served as an interpreter for the command of the French Expeditionary Force in China. In 1861 he was knighted in the Order of Honour. In 1865, he was promoted to first-class interpreter at the Legation in Beijing. In 1872, he was appointed Second Consul of the Consulate in Fuzhou. On April 24, 1875, he became Acting Consul General of France in Shanghai.

Before 1875, the appearance of Liu Xian did not disrupt the course of this man's life. If Liu Xian knew Li Mei's words, he would understand that he had also walked in the original time and space.

In 1878 she was again acting Consul General of France in Shanghai, and the following year she was promoted to First Consul. But with the conflict between China and France, the French closed their consulates all over China during the war. Li Mei was transferred to Japan as a second-class minister. In March 1886 he was awarded the rank of Officer of the Order of Honour. In April of the same year. Representative of the Government of France on the Commission for the Delimitation of the State Border. In July 1887 he became Ambassador Plenipotentiary to Peking.

Compared with Dounar, Li Mei can be said to have experienced the glory and trough of France in the Far East, and he is very hostile to the current Chinese government from the bottom of his heart. Compared with the cowardly former Qing Dynasty, which only knew how to retreat, the current Chinese government is too unfriendly. But this does not mean that his anti-China sentiment is stronger than that of Dounar. Dounar is, in essence, also a raccoon dog of Li Mei. These two people have the same and consistent stance on opposing China and China. Over the years, whether it was the British and French ministers or ambassadors to China, there had never been such a friendly relationship between the two of them.

"It's really embarrassing. Red everywhere, nasty red! Li Mei frowned so much that she could kill a mosquito. He hates Chinese red. Hate the victory of China.

Dou Nale held the balcony railing with both hands, and the group of Chinese ran to Dongjiaomin Lane to celebrate, which was deliberately done to show the personnel of the British and French embassies, and was deliberately angry with them. It's also here to slap the British and French faces. Of course, he was also very angry. But in addition to his anger, he and Li May must also negotiate a conclusion, a telegram to reply to London/Paris.

"This war cannot be fought. His Majesty the Emperor of China is an invincible god of war. And after the Chinese have endured victory after victory. They are already brave enough to face failure! ”

"A nation and a country that can only accept success, not failure. It's not terrible. A China that can accept success and face failure head-on is truly terrifying. ”

Dounar recently negotiated with China on the situation in the South Seas. Things didn't go well. China doesn't eat this. It directly showed a disapproving sentiment towards the actions of the British in the Balkans.

Although Britain, France and Austria-Hungary did bite the Russians in the Balkans while the Russians were fighting fiercely with China, the most important arrangement for the British Empire was still in the Far East and the South Seas. This is the iron lock that binds the evil dragon of China, and as long as the British Empire can stabilize the situation here, the development path of the Chinese will be half lost.

"Damn the Chinese!" How to explain to London, Dounar has a terrible headache when he thinks about it.

St. Petersburg at the same time. In the palace of Gatchina, almost all the important ministers and nobles of the Russian court and the center were gathered in front of Alexander III.

The news of the death of the cavalry general Yazov had reached them, and 110,000 Russian troops were wiped out on the banks of the Volga River. More than 20,000 Ding Zhuang were also captured by the Chinese, and more than 5,000 were taken away.

Counting the previous losses, in this battle, which was later called the Battle of Volga, the Russian army really lost 200,000 troops.

But Alexander III and other top Russian magnates could not say that Yazov was bad and shifted the blame to Yazov. Even Alexander III, who had received many telegrams from Lieutenant General Yazov, had to quickly change his tune and abandon his previous plans after seeing the new telegrams.

It's just because Liu Xian spoke so highly of the cavalry general Yazov. It is only because of this evaluation that the entire Russian Empire can feel honored and honored.

But glory to glory, Yazov died, and he could also be used as a monument by the tsar, but these could not change the facts - the Chinese won a great victory in the Volga, the Russian army was greatly empty there, Liu Xian returned to the Ural River valley with his troops, but he had 20,000 more Kalmyks in his hands, which is a force that can destroy the entire lower Volga. The dilemma facing Russia was that it would either quickly increase its forces and concentrate its forces on the Don River, Kazan, and other places in the lower reaches of the Volga, and together with the remaining forces there, it would be able to raise more than 100,000 troops. Or directly sue for peace with the Chinese emperor!

Russia now faces the danger of losing the entire lower Volga and losing the essence of Russia's southern frontier. This was absolutely unacceptable to Alexander III and the entire Russian Empire.

Alexander III had to make a quick decision. Because the Kalmyk cavalry was no slower than the Cossacks. They will soon sweep the entire lower Volga under the command of Liu Xian.

How easy is it to send troops to reinforce the Volga River and form a defensive line for the second time?!

Liu Xian relied on 50,000 troops to eat 200,000 Russian troops, took away 60,000 prisoners of war, and left Russia with a similar number of wounded and sick. This record is too shocking. Who dares to say that the emperor of China can't kill a horse pistol?

If these two lines of defense fail again. Russia's southern Xinjiang grain depot will no longer have any obstruction in front of the Chinese, and Russia will lose more interests at the negotiating table and in reality.

"Your Majesty, the defeat of Russia can be attributed to the incompetence of the Army. Let's talk about it. The empire really can't find a general who has the confidence to resist the Chinese emperor at the moment. The army has lived up to the trust of His Majesty and the expectations of countless Slavs. I will resign as Minister of War and quit the army and the government......"

An old soldier with full white hair said this to Alexander III. There was still fortitude on his face, but his eyes were full of defeat and frustration. Because before today's meeting, he sent a telegram to ask the opinions of many army generals stationed in Western Europe and St. Petersburg, asking them if anyone would like to go to the Volga and command and organize the second line of defense on the Volga. The results were naturally disappointing for him.

And it was also because of this disappointment that the old man understood the current state of the Russian Army - the breath of defeat completely swallowed the army.

"Your Majesty. The confidence of the Imperial Army had been shattered by the Emperor of China. As long as he faced the Chinese emperor, the hearts of army generals were engraved with defeat. It's time for this lost war to come to an end......"

Alexander III fought motionless on the throne of the tsar. He is not a determined man, nor is he a man who tolerates failure. A year before the start of the war, the Tsar's family was on a trip and near a small station called Borki, not far from Kharkov, a railroad staff error caused Alexander III's special train to orbit. The accident killed 23 people and injured 19. The Tsar's family was unharmed, but Alexander III's exposure to the wind while helping his family out of danger, combined with the psychological shadow caused by the accident, led him to secretly drink heavily and began to alienate the state government. Especially after the outbreak of the war, Alexander III left everything to the central government and his attendants, except for insisting that the war continue. From borrowing money to recruiting new troops, deploying troops, and appointing commanders......

Now it's time for him to make a decision again. Do you continue to continue the lost war, or do you admit defeat? (To be continued......)
