Brunov returned to Omsk with less than half of the army when he left, and he couldn't imagine that the Chinese army still had such a hidden strength, his tank unit was not the opponent of the Chinese tank at all, and the Chinese army also had the kind of machine gun that used motorcycles to use flexibly, but he had never heard of this weapon before.

"Lieutenant General Airrey, why didn't you march according to the designated route, change the route without authorization, and lead the army to failure?" When Lieutenant General Ski returned with his troops, he confronted Airry.

Irry pointed to the map, "There's a mistake in the map drawn above, there is a huge lake there that is not marked, let's walk around the lake in a big circle, the map drawn by the Empire will be wrong?" Or is someone framing me? These words pointed the finger at Lieutenant General Sky, and Lieutenant General Sky's feud with Airray was well known to the top brass of the Tsarist Far East Army, and Airry's statement was worth considering.

"You...... Nonsense, how could the map of the empire go wrong, are you saying that my team's map has been manipulated, right? Lieutenant General Skiy asked angrily. He felt very shameless about Irry's questioning, he wouldn't use these despicable means to deal with Irrey's idiot regardless of the overall situation, but he didn't expect to suspect him.

"I didn't say it was you......"

"Enough, this area is not a military map, I was in a hurry when I came to the Far East, and there were several maps that were not very clear in the survey, and it just so happened that the map that Lieutenant General Irry took was one of them. This time we still miscalculated the strength of the enemy, although we failed, but the enemy is not happy, the next few days should be a rare period of peace, everyone hurry up to train that write recruits, it's too bad! ”

Before Irry could finish speaking, Brunov, who was impatient, interrupted him. The map matter is indeed a mistake of the military department, but this is not an excuse for Airry, Brunov is even more unpleasant to Airry, no matter what, you have to drag all the enemy troops you have to deal with, and it is really disappointing for him to come to a big defeat.

Seeing Brunov stand up, Airry and Sky didn't dare to continue arguing, if they continued, they didn't know how to advance or retreat, and those who could achieve this position would not be too rash.

The news of the failure of the Far Eastern army offensive did not soon reach Tsar Nicholas II, who, after venting it, decided to hide it from the people, ordered Brunov not to expose the news, and also had the news blocked in the Siberian region. He changed this attack to the Tsarist Russian army, inflicting heavy losses on the Chinese army, destroying nearly 200,000 enemies, and not mentioning the losses of the Tsarist Russian army.

Soon the government announced this "exciting" victory, the people of Tsarist Russia believed it, the people of Tsarist Russia sang and cheered, and the imperial army finally won a big victory, which was the first time since the declaration of war with the Chinese Empire that such a big achievement was obtained, and it was really not easy.

The people who were still marching quickly dispersed when they received the news, since they had already dealt a heavy blow to the army of the Huaxia Empire, it would not be long before it would end, and it would be useless to march again, this was what the ordinary people thought.

In addition, the official newspapers of Tsarist Russia also praised the achievements of this time, reminding the people to be wary of the news announced by the Chinese Empire, which was used to confuse the people of the empire, and should not be believed.

Nicholas II also made these decisions after consideration, and the repeated defeats in the Far East war had already made the Russian people very resistant, and if the news of the failure of this offensive was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would be extremely unfavorable to the war in the Far East.

The common people believed it, but the shrewd merchants and nobles did not, and Brunov was not able to block the army from spreading the news, and there were many officers in the army who were in contact with those in the country, and the news was naturally known by these merchants and nobles.

There are not many merchants and nobles who know, and they don't dare to spread it around if they know it, and if they are found out by the empire, their consequences are very strict, which is against the tsar, unless he wants to die, otherwise he will not spread it around.

…………

"Hahaha, a godsend, that madman actually blocked the news of the Far East, this time Brunov's attack can be described as a heavy loss, 500,000 troops went to attack more than 200,000 troops in China, and finally went back with less than half of the army. Propaganda everywhere in the country has won the offensive, and the Far East is bleak, what a good emperor! As long as we expose this matter, the evil capitalist government will definitely be overthrown by the angry people. Kamenev said excitedly as he looked at the Red Party's lurking personnel in the Tsarist Far East Army and the information sent by the Chinese Empire.

Lie Ning frowned and thought for a moment: "The madman has already told the people through the newspaper that they should not listen to the news released by the Huaxia Empire, if we want to expose this, it will be very troublesome, and if we don't get it, we will be exposed in advance." Paper can't contain fire, or it won't be long before it is revealed, let's wait a few days to see, maybe something unexpected will happen. ”

"Leader, this is our chance, the army of the madman in the Far East has no chance of victory, we take advantage of this time to launch a revolution, and the people will rise up in response to us." Kamenev said confidently.

"I'll think about it, maybe it's really a godsend......" Lie Ning nodded and said.

In the imperial capital of China, Qin Yu took a telegram from Tsarist Russia and smiled brightly after reading it, Nicholas II was in the rhythm of death, and he had to add more fire.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Imperial Daily of China first reported the news that the imperial army had successfully resisted the attack of the Tsarist army in the Kuibyshev area and annihilated more than 200,000 Tsarist troops, and then wantonly ridiculed Tsarist Russia for shamelessly concealing the news and playing the Tsarist people as fools.

As soon as the newspaper came out, it was robbed by the Chinese people, and the Imperial Daily had to work overtime to supplement it. The shameless behavior of Tsarist Russia caused an uproar among the Chinese people, and they can understand that the Manchu army used to do this kind of thing, but it is shocking news that Tsarist Russia, as a powerful country, did such a thing, and this little bit of courage did not make an emperor?

Ranend is a small reporter for the New York Times branch of the Chinese Imperial Capital, and the Chinese Empire has been a frequent visitor to the New York Times for the past two years, but it is his colleagues who have reported on the affairs of the Chinese Empire before him. Ranend is newly sent, not as good as those colleagues who have been in the Huaxia Empire for more than a year, and those colleagues are more or less in contact with people in the press of the Huaxia Empire, so they will receive news in advance if there is any news, and he has no such relationship.

After eating lunch, Ranend sat in a small teahouse next to the headquarters of the Chinese Imperial Daily, drinking tea and listening carefully to the chatter of the people in the teahouse, which was the place where he paid a month's salary for the small local forces in the imperial capital to find out, the owner of the teahouse was an old man, and the reason why he was able to open a teahouse here was because of his son, who was the deputy editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily. And from time to time, the old man also likes to reveal some gossip that has not yet been published or is being published but has not been released, and the source is his son of deputy editor-in-chief.

"I heard that the empire won another big victory at Lao Maozi, and Lao Maozi's 500,000 army attacked, but half of the empire's more than 200,000 troops were wiped out and ran away. What's even more ridiculous is that Lao Maozi's government actually said to their people that they had inflicted heavy losses on the imperial army, and I bah, Lao Maozi was tender and shameless! The teahouse owner said to the old men sitting in front of him, spitting saliva.

"Really?" Several old men asked as they stared at the teahouse owner closely.

The owner of the teahouse said proudly: "This is what my son said to my daughter-in-law just now when he was having lunch, and the newspaper will publish it soon, look at it!" ”

"Tsk, Lao Maozi's approach is the same as the previous dynasty, I think, it won't be long before it will be exposed, and there will be a good show to watch then!"

“……”

While a group of old men were chatting, Ranid quickly paid for his tea and headed to the New York Times branch, thinking about the content as he went.

Ranend was very excited, he finally ushered in a huge opportunity, he heard what the teahouse owner said just now, and he was also surprised to hear that Tsarist Russia had distorted the facts to confuse its own people, this is shocking news! Of course, if between the Chinese Imperial Daily and the Tsarist Russian newspapers, Ranel still believes in the Chinese Imperial Daily, and the Chinese Empire will not publish fake news, which is not the style of China after the change of dynasty.

"Hehe, just use headlines like 'The Tsarist government distorted the facts, the military defeat turned out to be a great victory, and the people rejoiced', I believe that the headquarters will definitely give me a reward." Ranend thought to himself.

After returning to the branch, Ranend wrote a powerful news story in less than an hour, and then showed it to the editor-in-chief, who read it and asked about the authenticity of the news, and Ranid swore that it was true, but the editor-in-chief did not believe it.

Just as they were at a stalemate, a New York Times reporter ran in and shouted: "Editor-in-chief, the shocking news, the Tsarist government has distorted the military defeat as a great victory, give me half an hour, and I will deliver the manuscript immediately." ”

The editor-in-chief took a look at Ranend and said, "Good job, double the bonus this month!" Scholder, you don't have to write it, Ranend has already written it, it's well written, just use his. After speaking, he raised the manuscript in his hand.

"......," Schelder looked at Ranend speechless in shock.

Because the New York Times was the first to publish the news in the United States, the sales volume of the newspaper on that day was several times that of usual, and it made a lot of money.

The next day, newspapers from all over the world published the news, and these newspapers were laughing at Tsarist Russia's approach, and of course, many newspapers in Britain, France, and other countries were questioning China. Tsarist Russia's actions undoubtedly shocked the people of various countries, and although it is not common to distort military defeats, it is not surprising, but it has been exposed by people with reasonable evidence, and this is a big deal.

Britain, France and other countries immediately turned the spearhead to the newspapers after knowing that things were not good, and in an instant, the newspapers in the Entente countries changed the direction of the wind, and they accused the Chinese Empire of lying about the military situation, as if they knew what was going on.

When Tsarist Russia learned of this, it hurriedly blocked the news from the outside world from flowing into the country, and let the foreign newspapers accuse the Chinese Empire of being shameless and deceiving the people of various countries, and it is an indistinguishable fact that the Chinese army was severely damaged.
