Chapter 57: Qin Yu's Plan

Just when the tsar was anxious to recruit troops and go to the Far East again, he received a telegram that Sakhalin Island was being attacked by the Chinese army, and the imperial army could not hold it anymore and asked for support. After receiving this telegram, he was not surprised, since Huaxia had made such great progress, it was strange that it did not attack there, but he did not know that it was not the Huaxia army that did it, but the Japanese army. As for the support, it is simply impossible, the navy of Tsarist Russia in the Pacific Ocean is almost equal to none, there is the world of the Japanese, and now that the Japanese have let the Chinese navy in, he is helpless.

The further increase in taxes has aroused strong discontent among the people, and many peasants who have just received food and clothing will go hungry after paying their taxes, which has also given an opportunity for the Russian Red Party elements to take advantage of it, and a large number of peasants and bankrupts have been tricked into becoming supporters of the Red Party in the face of growing dissatisfaction.

Large-scale forced conscription, several tax increases, and the failure of the Far East made the people of Tsarist Russia very disappointed with the government, and the government became synonymous with corruption and incompetence in an instant, and this qiē had an unshirkable responsibility for the supreme tsar, and no matter how the government explained, it could not save public opinion.

More and more people are marching in the streets, and families who have lost their children and captured children are calling on their friends to take to the streets to demand an explanation from the government or to rescue the captives; Groups of peasants, instigated by the Red Party, marched into the city one after another, demanding that the government withdraw the order to increase taxes, which were too strict for them to hold!

The current situation in Tsarist Russia was very bad, and the great defeat of the Far Eastern army was like a fuse that detonated the whole of Tsarist Russia, and even the nobles were involved, because their children were captured by the Chinese Empire, and their interests in the Far East were also dealt a huge blow.

In any case, the vast majority of the nobility and merchants supported the continuation of the war, and the huge interests of the Far East could not be counted as such, and both the merchants and the nobility were profitable in the case of war, as evidenced by the fact that prices in Tsarist Russia had doubled in just one week. Although some of the children of the nobles were captured, they did not die after all, and the Chinese Empire did not dare to do anything, as long as they won the war in the future, they would definitely be able to return to the empire.

……

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the imperial army defeated the Tsarist army, and Outer Mongolia is all under the control of the empire!!"

"Sell newspapers, good news, the imperial army has completely driven the Tsarist army out of Outer Mongolia, and the next step will be a large-scale attack on Tsarist Russia!!"

"The empire's first foreign war has won a decisive victory, and hundreds of thousands of troops of Tsarist Russia are hating the battlefield, look at the !!"

With the Imperial Daily reported the victory of the Chinese army, the whole country was boiling, and the people of the whole country were very excited, since the war with the British, China won a great victory again, the huge Outer Mongolia was all recovered, and the people were even more proud!

Many of the people who thought that the empire could not win have shut up, and the saprophytes who shouted about the recklessness of the army have also shut up, and the Zongshe Party, which is very active in Mukden Province, has become more cautious, and is very afraid that their fate will be similar to that of Outer Mongolia, after all, their strength is not as strong as that of Outer Mongolia.

In the imperial capital of China, a certain sea that has been renamed the Central Garden, at this time, the prime minister of the empire, the minister of finance, the minister of the army and navy, and other core figures of the empire gathered in Qin Yu's study to discuss matters.

"At present, the war with Tsarist Russia has come to an end for the time being, you must speed up the construction of the economy, and at this stage you will put down part of your work and go all out to produce military and civilian products, time is running out!" Qin Yu said very sternly.

Chen Fu was very puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, is it too much to produce these with all your might, the healthy growth of the empire is impossible to rely too much on the military industry, otherwise it will lead to a big end in the future, after all, we are still an agricultural country, and the number of peasants accounts for more than 90 percent, I don't agree with excessive bias towards the military." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. I'm talking about the current stage, that is, the next few years, the empire will be biased towards the military industry, after all, our external troubles are very strict now, and having weapons in hand and not being controlled by talents is our most important thing at present. It can be said that most of the civilian technology is derived from military technology, and the military industry of the empire must be self-sufficient in the shortest possible time, so as to ensure the independence of the imperial military. Qin Yu shook his head and motioned for him to wait for him to finish, "What is the mainstream of the world at the moment?" Is it war, colonization and colonization, or development? I don't think it will be long before a world war breaks out, and the only way for the empire to remain neutral is to be the most suitable. Neutrality can do a lot of things, we can sell weapons, food and other materials to various factions to earn economic and industrial take-off.

Regardless of whether the empire is neutral or enters the war in the end, it will require a lot of military industry support, not to mention that we will eventually have a war with Japan, and this war will either die or die, and it is absolutely impossible to be careless. ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, Qin Yu's words touched them very much, yes, there are too many external troubles in the empire, and the great powers are eyeing China to make China the same as when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was again, only strong military industrial support can drive away these tigers and wolves, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a lesson from the past.

"Your Majesty, will there really be a worldwide war in the future? Even the Empire is not immune? Qin San asked in disbelief, and everyone wanted to hear about it.

"Yes, sooner or later, the two camps in Europe will go to war, and the war will break out in no more than five years, and then Europe will be in a mess, and their colonies will definitely have wars, which will affect the whole body! If the empire wants to have a position in the future, it is essential to participate in the war, okay, let's not talk about that, according to what I said. ”

Qin Yu knew that the United States in later generations relied on neutrality to sell materials to both sides of the war, and then made a lot of money, and even small Japan relied on World War I to directly change from a debtor country to a creditor country.

After listening to it, everyone thought about it for a while, and it became clear, maybe they would really think the same as Qin Yu said, seeing that Qin Yu was so confident, they couldn't refute it anymore.

"Your Majesty, this war with Tsarist Russia has not ended so much, more than the scheduled military spending, the finances are very tight now, I hope Your Majesty can think about the empire's finances and let them save a little." The Minister of Finance said with a sad face.

It's not that the Minister of Finance is stingy, it's true that military spending is too heavy, and the package of military development plans that the empire is carrying out requires a lot of manpower and material resources to support, and the investment in the manufacture of warships and innovative research, aircraft, tanks, etc., is very large, plus foreign wars, military spending has accounted for more than 30 percent of fiscal expenditure.

As soon as the cannon sounded, although it was a bit exaggerated, it was not an exaggeration, just think about the ammunition consumed in this war with Tsarist Russia, and the victory can be said to be piled up with money and life.

"Well, this is indeed a bit too much, I asked them to save a little, after all, now we are a big business, they should also gain something on the battlefield, it is a little less." Qin Yu also knew that the military expenditure was indeed too much.

After dinner, Qin Yu received information from the intelligence department about the Red Party of Tsarist Russia, which said that the Red Party of Tsarist Russia was ready to plan a revolution, and if it was not unexpected, it would be launched soon, and the current Red Party had achieved tremendous development, and the probability of success would reach forty percent, etc.

After reading the telegram, Qin Yu quietly lit a cigarette, the development speed of the Red Party was too fast, and he began to feel that he was a little out of control, and he had to suppress their development, otherwise he would be troubled.

Qin Yu didn't want to cause too much early impact on the First World War because of him, Tsarist Russia was still good for this Tsarist Russia, if the Red Party controlled Tsarist Russia in advance and used the First World War to successfully rise, it would definitely become a big trouble, and he wouldn't believe that the Red Party would listen to him at that time. He also didn't want to lead to the delay of the First World War because of this, only when Europe was in chaos would countries not have the heart to care about Asia, this is what he wanted.

……

After a whole day's rest, Jiang Fangzhen crossed the border and set foot on the territory of Tsarist Russia, and he wanted to control all the territory of Tsarist Russia west of Siberia under the hands of the Chinese Empire, and absolutely not fall into the hands of the Japanese.

The Chinese army now has a detailed map of the Asian part of Tsarist Russia, which was found in the surrendered Tsarist army, and now some Tsarist soldiers are still allowed to lead the way, so the terrain of Tsarist Russia is not difficult for them at all.

The Chinese army that entered the territory of Tsarist Russia soon marched to the railway in the Far East of Tsarist Russia, and Jiang Fangzhen asked people to blow up the railway without saying a word, and even sent an army to blow up the railway all the way west along the road, and when the railway was blown up, Tsarist Russia could not send troops to Vladivostok and other places.

At this time, the retreating army of Tsarist Russia had already rushed to the Novosibirsk region of later generations, and Airry and others also joined the large army, and General Airray at this time was the person with the highest rank in the whole army, and naturally became the supreme leader of this army.

As soon as Ari returned to the army, he immediately sent a telegram exaggerating his sneak attack, deliberately saying that he had been ambushed by the Chinese army and suffered heavy losses, and was finally forgiven by the Tsar, asking him to make meritorious service and guide the army to fight against the Chinese army.

In fact, the retreating Russian army did not have much logistical materials, and when they arrived in Novosibirsk, the grain was already empty, and they had no choice but to "borrow" grain from the local scattered peasants, which aroused great resentment among the local peasants.

At this time, Airry never thought of attacking, he didn't want to die, the army wanted weapons and ammunition without weapons and ammunition, and there was no food for food, it was impossible for him to fight against hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Chinese troops, and he had to find an excuse to rush to Siberia desperately, only when he got there would he have a sense of security.

The great victory of the Chinese army made Britain and France unable to sit still, if China and Russia continued to fight, it is not necessary to think that China will have the upper hand, and according to the character of the tsar, it will definitely fight a protracted war, and it will not be able to drag them back. The two countries already had the idea of mediation, and they could not have imagined that the Russian army was so unbearable and defeated so quickly, so that they had to come out to mediate.

It is not in their interests if the Tsarist Empire is overly weakened, after all, they still want Tsarist Russia to contain Germany, and Outer Mongolia is not Tsarist Russia, so it doesn't hurt to let it out.
