Chapter 291: Chaos
The new changes that have taken place on the battlefield in East Russia have obviously attracted the attention of the world, and the northeast is like a bamboo on the battlefield, which has also made many observers fall through their glasses. It had been predicted that with the gradual advance of the front to the west, the logistical situation of Tsarist Russia would be greatly eased, and the northeast would pay a heavy price for the war with Russia. However, facts speak louder than words, and the Northeast Insurance Team did not follow the old path of Napoleon, did not lose its way in the cold Russian winter, and far surpassed their opponents in logistical support.
From the second day of the land campaign, the Russian army on the east bank of the Yenisei River in the northeast was encroaching on it at a rate of more than one regiment per day, although it was not fast, but such a speed could just maintain the pressure on the Russian army, and it could also prevent its logistics from falling into a state of collapse due to the extreme consumption of ammunition due to the excessive offensive. When the number of Russian troops is getting smaller and smaller, and they have almost no logistical supplies, in the face of continuous pressure in the northeast, ammunition and food will only be consumed more and more. Dragomilov is in charge of the West Bank, but he can't reach it. A few barely maintained pontoon bridges, coupled with the already small number of river boats, could not produce much effect at all under the suppression of the Northeast Air Force. Both sides of the war understand that it will not take long for quantitative changes to produce qualitative changes, and the entire Russian defense line on the east bank of the Yenisei River will completely collapse.
Of course, the Northeast also hopes that the war can be resolved quickly, and the longer the war between the Northeast and the Russian army drags on, the more food and medicine will be consumed, and the pros and cons will be weighed by the Northeast.
In recent days, representatives of the armed forces, including Germany and several other small European countries, have submitted a request to the northeastern government to form an observation group to visit the front line in eastern Russia. After questioning Wang Yi, Yang Qiuxing agreed to their request. Germany is now an important trading partner of Northeast China, and they are important customers of big businessmen, ranging from heavy machinery to stainless steel pots and pans, and even light bulbs. Germany's imports from the Northeast are simply all-encompassing, and the Northeast has played a crucial role in the development of Germany's industrial level.
In addition to the economic and trade exchanges, the two countries also have continuous exchanges between the military, and more importantly, the two countries also have common interests in Africa, and need to work together to limit Britain's huge influence. At the same time, the two sides are basically the same in their stance on Russia. Although the Kaiser and the Tsar are nominally related, this indifferent blood relationship obviously cannot alleviate the pillow wind that the Russian queen blows to her husband. Relations between the two countries have grown from estranged to increasingly tense, and the growing closeness between Russia and France has clearly violated Germany's taboo. And the eyebrows between Germany and the Northeast also made Alexander III even more dissatisfied with his relatives.
At present, although the two sides are not in a direct battle, they are still sitting on a gasoline drum that is being refueled, and after a certain time, perhaps a small spark will be enough to ignite a war that could engulf the whole of Europe.
At present, in addition to Germany, there are military exchange projects with the Northeast, and the other is the Boers, because of the secret agreement with the Northeast, in the Eastern Russian battlefield, the Northeast military allowed them to directly participate in the war. Of course, the purpose of participating in the war was not because of the shortage of troops in the northeast, but because only the real battlefield of Tongguò enabled the Boers to be tempered and thus to develop their own military talents. An infantry regiment, a cavalry regiment, an artillery regiment, the strength of a whole division is counted. Weapons and logistical supplies are all provided by the Northeast Insurance Team, all personnel are trained by the Northeast Insurance Team, and officers are trained at the Northeast Army Military Academy. After more than a year, now the divisions of the Boers have been sent to the battlefield, and for soldiers and officers, the battlefield is the best school, in the struggle for life or death, the waves are washed away. In the contest between iron and fire, learn to be strong and brave, and master the basic combat skills of the modern army. Although the Boer division has not achieved very impressive results so far, the visiting Boer generals are still excited about the change in the division. Seeds! Seed of the Dewasland Army!
Wang Yi believed that it would not be long before the Boers returned to Dewasland from the northeast and then brought about the forces in the northeast, and if the British wanted to annex South Africa as they did in history, they would have lost far more than they had gained.
Although he was burying nails for the British, Wang Yi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he was doing. Even after nearly two decades of South Africa's independence, when nominal apartheid had been eliminated, the British gold and platinum mines were able to continue to exploit black miners. Once the black miners broke out and went on strike, the police would make them pay with their blood and lives. Although Dewasland has become South African land, and although South Africa has become one of the BRICS, British mining companies are still strong.
Now that the situation of the Russian army on the east bank of the Yenisei River is in danger of collapse, the Russians, who have been reluctant to negotiate peace with the Northeast, have finally begun to panic, although Alexander III has not yet lost confidence in Dragomilov, but he has seen the 100,000 horses and horses who have fought for many years in the Far East Theater, the real elite division of the Russian Empire, and now only four divisions remained, less than 50,000 horses. To say that Alexander III was not distressed is simply impossible.
It is a pity that there are no diplomatic relations between Russia and the Northeast Autonomous Region at all, and at present, only the Russian minister in Beijing, Ku Man, can barely talk to Tang Shaoyi, the representative of the Northeast in Beijing, but that's all. The two sides did not have a common language at all, and Tsarist Russia lacked attention to the northeast earlier, and its eyes were always focused on the European continent, and it was only in the past two or three years that it really attracted attention. This was undoubtedly temporary, and Alexander III was furious.
Since the death of its predecessor Foreign Minister Alexander Mikhailovich Gorchaev, Tsarist Russia has lost the only person on the European continent who can rival German Prime Minister Bismarck. Russian diplomacy is now in disarray, and the current Minister of War Milyugin was supposed to retire in 1881, but the strong rise of the Northeast has changed the fate of many in Russia. At present, Milyukin nominally leads Russia's foreign policy, but there is a shortage of talent in Russia, and Milyugin is simply too busy to wear many hats, and the previous focus has been on Europe, so the current chaotic situation has emerged.
