Chapter 124
In Tsarist Russia, the tsar and other cadres were also worried, and those nobles and merchants began to persuade the tsar to end the war in the Far East and temporarily cease war with the Chinese Empire, which should not continue. Since the beginning of the war, millions of soldiers have hated the Far East battlefields, and the funds and materials are innumerable, and most of the Far Eastern Railway has been destroyed, at this time they have no chance of winning, and those nobles and merchants who were implicated in the Far East War have suffered even more severe losses, so they are very disappointed in the Tsarist government after repeated defeats.
"Bastards, it's all a bunch of rubbish, how can there be a truce now?" Nicholas II was furious when he received the advice of the Ministry of Intelligence about the domestic merchants and nobles, and it was impossible for him to bow to the yellow monkey in his eyes if he had to put his face in the event of a truce.
Polivanov, the new Minister of War of Tsarist Russia, who has only been in office for more than two months, is full of sweat, and you must know that the current imperial capital of Tsarist Russia has entered winter, and it can be seen that Polivanov's nervousness. There are several high-ranking members of the Tsarist Russian government next to them who are bowing their heads and dare not speak, listening to the tsar's roaring, in fact, they are not willing to continue the war in their hearts, and the transportation of materials for the Tsarist army in the winter is very problematic, not to mention that the next materials have not been raised now. Brunov is now constantly asking for help, and this one is even more big.
"Your Majesty, it's just a temporary truce with the hateful Chinese Empire, and now we don't have the funds, materials, and troops to continue, and once we are dragged down by the Chinese Empire, we won't be able to take into account the situation in the Balkans and Europe. There is also intelligence that Austria-Hungary is planning to incorporate the Balkan Peninsula into their territory, once Austria-Hungary enters the Balkans, we will not be able to fight on two fronts, the Far East and the Balkans are undoubtedly the latter important, please think twice! Polivanov let the sweat on his face run down his neck, but he didn't dare to wipe it.
The Prime Minister also had to stand up and remind Nicholas II, "Your Majesty, Britain and France have now said that they will not continue to give us all kinds of support, and they are very worried about the war between the Empire and China, and vaguely hint that they will intervene to mediate." The consumption of the war in the Far East was very large, the treasury was empty, the issuance of national debt was not very smooth, the population generally did not trust the national debt of the empire, was unwilling to buy it, and the funds raised were limited. The Far East War invested a lot of troops, and even if we continue to recruit soldiers, those recruits will not have much combat effectiveness, so I think that at this time, we should first maintain the current situation with the Chinese Empire and prevent the Chinese Empire from advancing westward. I hope that His Majesty can let Britain and France and other countries lift the blockade of Japan, let Japan increase its investment in Northeast China, let the two countries compete, and we will reap the power of the fisherman and snatch back the Far East in one fell swoop when China is weak. β
The Prime Minister's words made everyone present fall into thought, the powerful relationship is very important, the slightest carelessness will lose all the games, at this time Tsarist Russia itself exposed contradictions so that many people of insight are very worried, but they dare not say to the arrogant Nicholas II, this is very similar to the original Chinese Cixi government.
"A truce is impossible, those fire monkeys are at war with two big countries at the same time, they definitely can't hold out for long, their industry is much worse than ours, as long as we hold on any longer, we will win! Japan also coveted the empire's lands in the Far East, and if the situation did not allow it, we would have declared war with Japan, and the troops in Vladivostok and Sakhalin were the work of the Japanese army. However, it is possible to unblock Japan and let Japan fight to the death with the yellow monkeys, and our pressure in the Far East will definitely be reduced a lot, and I will not give up until I continue to recruit troops and take back the territory of the Far East of the Empire. Nicholas II did not admit defeat and said, "The affairs of Europe are naturally controlled by Britain and France, and the affairs of Asia are no less light than those of Europe, and I will arrange them." β
No matter how much the crowd persuaded Nicholas II, he was unwilling to stop the war and scolded everyone. In fact, Polivanov and they also know that if they bow to the Chinese Empire at this time, they will definitely pay a huge price, but now Tsarist Russia can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, and there are many crises, and they know much more than Nicholas II, who is pampered in the palace.
Nicholas II soon contacted Britain and France to ease the blockade of Japan, and cheekily asked for support again, and the two countries agreed to give some financial and material support. The two countries are not optimistic about the war between Tsarist Russia and China at present, and it can be seen from a series of actions in China that China has already drawn up this war, even if Japan is attacking the Chinese Empire, the situation in Tsarist Russia is still not optimistic.
The Tsarist Russian tanks were defeated in front of the Chinese tanks, not only because of the experience of the soldiers, but also because of the performance of the tanks. In addition, the intelligence departments of the two countries found that Germany also had tanks, and there were many of them, and they even seemed to be much stronger than theirs, and they all threw money to research new tanks, and the Chinese Empire became more and more unclear to them, and they became more and more jealous.
Japan soon discovered that Britain and France had originally seized some of the aircraft and goods for various reasons, and the clever Japanese soon discovered that Tsarist Russia could not withstand the army of the Chinese Empire, and needed them to contain the Chinese Empire.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Brunov was reading the telegram from China at this time, and after reading it, he took a deep breath, Polivanov asked him to preserve his current strength as much as possible, and if he really can't do it, he will retreat, the empire will not have troops to support them for a long time, and he must not fight hard with the Chinese army.
The Chinese army on the other side has begun to gather at this time, and with the basic completion of the 'Heavenly Fortune' plan, the 200,000 troops who escorted and guarded are about to return, and Jiang Fangzhen is also preparing to plan to annihilate the Tsarist Russian army in the Omsk region.
In recent days, the airship troops of the Chinese Empire have been hovering over the Omsk region unscrupulously, making the Tsarist troops there panic, but the Chinese airship troops hovering there did not attack, and the Tsarist Russian troops are also accustomed to it, pointing and occasionally scolding when they see the Chinese airship troops coming. This situation made Brunov very concerned, he had suffered from this kind of deceptive behavior of the Chinese army, so he asked the officers to keep the soldiers vigilant and not relax, but those junior and junior officers did not pay too much attention to it.
"Your Excellency Commander, it's been two days, and the cavalry sent out still hasn't brought back any news, I don't know if it's in Outer Mongolia, the situation is very bad for us, the Chinese army seems to have been reinforced, and the number of troops has begun to increase." A staff officer complained to Brunov.
"The order of the empire has come down, asking us to preserve our strength as much as possible, we will not be supported for a long time, and now it is up to us. I decided to wait for the cavalry to come back and immediately retreat from Omsk, this is not the place for us to stay any longer! Brunov said with a frown. He didn't want to evacuate here, so he came here in a hurry, and then retreated with less than half of his troops, which was a shame! If it weren't for the Empire's order, he might have retreated for the sake of the bigger picture, but it was a last resort, but it would never have been so soon.
Sky and Airry and others also agreed with Brunov's idea, the lack of reinforcements in the empire does not mean that the Chinese army does not have it, retreating to preserve strength is the king, and continuing to wait for the arrival of the Chinese army here is not like retreating.
Siberia, the camp of the Chinese army, Jiang Fangzhen and a cadre of officers were discussing matters to deal with the Tsarist Russian army in Omsk, and an officer ran in, "Report, just now the soldiers found a Russian cavalry rushing from the east to Omsk, scattered cavalry of about 1,000 people, and our troops are intercepting and encircling and suppressing." β
"What? How did the Russian cavalry get behind us, check, find out what they were going to do! Encircle and suppress those enemy soldiers with all their might, not one of them is allowed to run away, no cannons are allowed, and let the cavalry deal with them. After saying that, Jiang Fangzhen asked the officer to arrange it.
No matter what this Tsarist cavalry is doing, it must be completely annihilated, if the 'Heavenly Fortune' plan is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable, even if it is not the matter of the 'Heavenly Fortune' plan, the Tsarist Russian cavalry must have discovered the increase in their troops, which is very unfavorable for the later plan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have also understood the severity of the matter, and here I have decided to launch a plan in advance, and send troops to the Russian positions overnight tonight, surround the whole of Omsk before dawn, and all the troops will be dispatched. Commander Feng went to the west to cut off the back road of the Russian army, Commander Yan strictly guarded the south of Omsk to prevent the Russian army from moving south, General Xu followed to surround in the direction of the north, and the whole army launched an attack on the offensive signal together, and the Russian army must not escape this time. Jiang Fangzhen immediately resolutely gave an order.
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
Although it was early, everyone was also very excited, it was about to enter winter, it would be great for him to end the war early and leave here, and the war with Tsarist Russia should also come to an end.
"Ula ......"
The Russian cavalry team frantically wanted to get rid of the interception of the Chinese army, they discovered the secret of the Chinese army, so they wanted to rush back to tell SΓΉ Brunov to retreat quickly, they found that the Chinese army had gathered more than 300,000 troops at this time, and was constantly gathering and carrying supplies to the front line.
"Boom! Bang!!! β
The cavalry of the Chinese army arrived, they first bypassed the Russian cavalry, rushed to the front of them at once, cut off their road to Omsk, and then turned around and rushed into the cavalry of the Tsarist army.
The 10,000 Chinese cavalry pierced the Tsarist cavalry several times, and after a while, only more than 200 Tsarist cavalry stood there intact, and all the rest were killed.
"Ula ......"
The Russian cavalry who took the lead raised their sabers and took the rest of the cavalry city towards the Huaxia cavalry, but this time the Huaxia cavalry only sent a cavalry of more than 200 to fight, and the rest of the land watched from the sidelines. After a sonorous sound and the neighing of war horses, the two cavalry separated, and there were about fifty people left in the Tsarist Russian cavalry, and there were more than a hundred people left on the Huaxia side, and the two cavalry came into contact again in an instant, and this time there was only one person left in the Tsarist Russian cavalry, which was the leader.
The scene was very silent, all the Chinese soldiers looked at the bloody Russian cavalry officer in the field, only to see him raise his saber and urge the war horse to rush towards the Chinese cavalry, but just rushed out of a few of his war horses and knelt down on the front legs of his war horse and ran him out, falling heavily on the ground, he convulsed a few times and then opened his eyes and died unwillingly.
Li Dong, who was riding on a war horse, sighed and said; "Respectable opponents, bury them!" Several cavalry officers next to him nodded solemnly.
