"Initiation of Your Majesty, news has been sent from the front that the main forces of our First Army and the Third Army have arrived in the Novosibirsk region and are ready to launch an offensive against Novosibirsk at any time. The Second Army was rushing to the front line for reinforcements as best it could. Ye Feng respectfully reported to Ren Chao.

"Hmm!" Ren Chao nodded noncommittally and said, "Order them to capture Novosiberia as much as possible, and then send the First Army south, make peace with the Fourth Army, and join forces to attack Central Asia." The 2nd Army, the 3rd Army continued to attack west along the Trans-Siberian Railway. ”

"Yes!" Ye Feng responded, and then said, "There is news from China that the Russian representatives have once again made concessions and have agreed to return all the territories occupied in China after the Opium War. Foreign Minister Liang Yan asked for instructions on whether our side would continue to adhere to the previous conditions. ”

Ren Chao couldn't help frowning, Ren Chao was also hesitating, wanting to cut meat from the Russian polar bear, it was indeed not so easy. Now Ren Chao is worried that once Russia is forced too tightly, if the Russians make peace with Germany and Austria alone, and turn their heads to deal with Huaxia with all their might, it will be troublesome. Although in terms of China's current national strength, it is not afraid of Tsarist Russia. However, once Tsarist Russia concentrates all its efforts on dealing with China, it may be difficult to end the war against Russia in a short time, and such an outcome is not what Ren Chao wants to see. Because according to Ren Chao's plan, he wanted to withdraw his hand from the war against Russia as much as possible, and then concentrate on taking advantage of the good opportunity of the European war to seek the greatest interests for China. If one hand is trapped by this polar bear, it will inevitably affect Ren Chao's next step.

"Your Majesty, according to the report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the British and French sides are also exerting great pressure on our country to force our country to negotiate peace with Russia as much as possible. According to the intelligence department, the Russian side is currently in contact with Germany and Austria, and it seems that Russia has signs of negotiating peace. Ye Feng continued.

"I see!" Ren Chao's brows furrowed even deeper, "Inform Liang Yan that he can make corresponding concessions to the Tsarist side, but our bottom line is that the north is bounded by the Yenisei River." The south remains unchanged, and the Central Asian region must be reclaimed. Inform the front-line troops that after the capture of Novosibirsk, the forward troops will advance to the Tyumen line, but not attack Tyumen. ”

"Command!" Ye Feng replied respectfully.

"Wang Qing, how is that Vasily doing?" Ren Chao turned his head and said to Wang Weihua.

"In the past few days, Vasily has been recruiting Russian prisoners, and thousands of people have been surrendered, and the recruitment and surrender work in prisoner of war camps in other places is also progressing very smoothly, and there are currently more than 10,000 Russian prisoners of war who are willing to serve our army." Wang Weihua replied honestly.

"Hmmm! This Vasily really lived up to my expectations. The decree crowned Vasily as a viscount and ordered him to make persistent efforts. Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Command!" Wang Weihua replied respectfully.

"I plan to transfer this unit to the front line as much as possible, and this matter will be arranged by Wang Qing!" Ren Chao continued.

"The minister's decree, it's just that this army has no number yet." Wang Weihua said.

"Let's give them the name of the Siberian Legion first!" Ren Chao said casually.

"Command!" Wang Weihua replied respectfully.

"At present, the overall situation of the war against Russia has been decided, I plan to return to Beijing in a few days, Wang Qing and Ye Qing will start to prepare!" Ren Chao commanded casually.

"Commandment!" Wang Weihua and Ye Feng responded respectfully.

On the Novosibirsk front, more than 300,000 troops of the Chinese Empire were approaching the city, and more than 100,000 Russian troops were surrounded in this city that had only been established for more than 20 years. These Russian troops were urgently transferred from the country. Resist the Huaxia Army. At present, Tsarist Russia is taking into account both the Eurasian theater of war, and it is simply unable to allocate excess troops. In the face of the German and Austrian counteroffensives in the European theater, the Russian army has lost more than a million troops. And in Asia, under the fierce attack of the Chinese army. The Russians not only lost a vast area of Siberia, but also lost more than 800,000 troops. Such heavy losses are undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Russian army, which is in the midst of internal and external troubles.

Early November 1914. The Chinese army finally launched a full-scale offensive against Novosibirsk. In this battle, the Chinese army dispatched 100 aircraft and nearly 2,000 artillery pieces to participate in the battle. Under the heavy artillery fire of our army, the fortifications carefully constructed by the Russian army were completely destroyed.

In the sound of the loud trumpet of the charge. More than eighty tanks, covering thousands of soldiers, rushed towards the defensive positions of the Russian army. The Russian army, which was already at a disadvantage, was quickly broken through the defense line under the fierce attack of our army. On November 10, the Chinese army successfully captured the city of Novosibirsk, and the remnants of the Russian army were defeated in the direction of Tyumen, and more than 100,000 Russian troops were annihilated in this battle. In mid-November, our army advanced to the Tyumen line, but did not launch an offensive against Tyumen, and the Siberian battlefield temporarily reached a stalemate.

Subsequently, the Huaxia Army sent the First Army to reinforce the Central Asian battlefield, and the Fourth Army, after receiving reinforcements from the First Army, greatly increased its strength, quickly swept through the Russian army in Central Asia, and successfully captured Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan in December 1914. This ended the war in Central Asia.

At this time, Ren Chao had already returned to Tianjin by boat from Vladivostok, and then returned to Beijing by car. According to Ren Chao's instructions, the Huaxia Army did not launch the next round of offensive. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the other hand, is stepping up negotiations with the Russians, hoping to end the war against Russia as much as possible. At this time, the Tsarist side was also eager to negotiate peace with Huaxia as much as possible, but Tsarist Russia did not want to give up the vast territory of Central Asia and Siberia, and the conditions between the two sides were very different, and the negotiations fell into a deadlock for a while.

"Is the Tsarist side still refusing to let go?" Ren Chao asked with a frown.

"The Tsarist side has always refused to let go, and only promised to return the territory occupied by our country after the Opium War, and insisted on using the Lena River as the boundary on the Siberian side." Liang Yan replied respectfully.

"These old hairy people really want money and don't want to die!" Ren Chao snorted coldly and said, "But this matter has dragged on for too long, and it won't be good for us." ”

"Weichen Jianyì, the dispute over the territory can be put aside for the time being, anyway, these territories have been occupied by us, and the Tsarist Russians want to go back, it is impossible! Although the two sides are now in a stalemate, Tsarist Russia has also pinned down more than one million of our troops, and if we can implement an armistice, we can at least draw 500,000 troops for other battlefields. Therefore, Weichen Jian should do his best to reach an armistice agreement with Tsarist Russia. Yang Jichang said respectfully. (To be continued......)
