Grand Duke Nicholas received the telegram from Major General Yuris, his heart was half cold, the Chinese Empire is determined to fight the empire to the end, according to his nephew's character, there is no room for negotiation between the two countries, unless one country fails or is as weak as the Manchu Qing before it, it is difficult to stop.

What surprised him even more was the marching route of the Chinese army, the three places of Kobdo, Kulun, and Kyakhta were like three steel knives drawing a bright light from different directions straight into the Wulianghai area.

He knew that the Huaxia Empire was forcing them to fight a decisive battle in the Wulianghai region, and by the way, dragging all the empire's troops here, and then going to solve the easternmost part of the empire, this was really an excellent plan.

The Empire's reinforcements are almost coming, and I don't know if the reinforcements will be able to defeat the Chinese Empire's army, and according to the current situation, unless the Empire can increase its troops again, it will be in vain.

What Grand Duke Nikolai is thinking about now is how to win back one or two battles to strengthen morale, they have not won since the beginning, it is really a blow to the morale of the army, and what is even more terrible is that successive defeats will make him be attacked by some villains, even if he is a royal family, he can't withstand many blows.

The fact that the army of the Chinese Empire stepped into the army of Tsarist Russia was soon exposed, after all, such a thing could not be hidden, and all countries in the world knew that the Sino-Russian War had entered another climax.

On August 11, the Tsarist government said that the Chinese Empire had invaded the territory of Tsarist Russia and forcefully captured the city of Kyakhta, which was a provocation to the Tsarist Empire, and demanded that the Chinese Empire explain and withdraw from the territory of Tsarist Russia.

The Chinese Imperial Government immediately stated that they had entered Tsarist Russia to capture the rebels in Outer Mongolia and the Russian soldiers who had slaughtered Chinese merchants in the trading city, which was normal. He also said that he wanted China to withdraw from the territory of Tsarist Russia, and Tsarist Russia must recognize Outer Mongolia as the territory of China, and also unconditionally withdraw from Outer Mongolia and return the territory that was previously occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The meaning of Huaxia is very obvious, you Tsarist Russia can enter our territory, but we can't enter your territory, what is the reason?

Britain, France, and the United States have all demanded that China and Russia exercise restraint and not escalate the situation, and they have already made up their minds to deal with the war between the two countries, otherwise they will really not be able to mediate.

In fact, in their hearts, they scolded Tsarist Russia to the bottom, the huge Tsarist Russia has not fought a single victorious battle for nearly half a month, it has always been a defeat, and the soldiers of Tsarist Russia are too useless.

Now the situation is very bad, if the two countries declare war, Britain and France and other Entente countries will have to do their best to help Tsarist Russia, they do not want to lose anything in this matter.

Although the United States is ostensibly mediating, in its heart it still hopes that the two countries will continue to fight so that they can better make war money. Huaxia has already placed a lot of orders with them, but it is far from satisfying their appetite, it is just an appetizer.

Germany and other allies were also happy to see that Tsarist Russia had been losing, and it would be nice if the Chinese Empire could deal a greater blow to Tsarist Russia, and it would be better if Tsarist Russia could invest more troops in the Far East.

"Your Majesty, the news from the Tsarist side that the angry Tsar is likely to declare war on the Empire, does the Empire declare war on them as soon as they declare war?" Chen Fu became more and more unable to understand what Qin Yu wanted to do, was there any purpose in openly invading Tsarist Russia like this?

Qin Yu yawned and said: "If war is declared, war will be declared, only they are allowed to enter my territory, and I am not allowed to enter their territory, really when I am a Manchu, hum!" Now the difference between our war and the declaration of war is only a statement, and if war is declared, we can also increase our troops with impunity. ”

"Your Majesty, you don't understand the words of declaring war, there is still Japan watching, I'm afraid it's not good to declare war, after all, it will be difficult to get out of the war with Tsarist Russia at that time." Chen Fu said very sternly.

Chen Fu also has his own reasons for saying this, he doesn't want the empire to be too deeply involved in the war with Tsarist Russia, development is the last word, the current imperial industry is too military-oriented, this is a deformed development.

The first government of the empire has been advocating the development of light industry and heavy industry at the same time, and is more inclined to civilian use, but the development of the empire has deviated from their previous plan, which makes them very worried.

"Do you think that it will be easy for us to get out before we defeat without declaring war, just think about the fate of the Manchu government, it was decided before the war that this war could not be so easy, and be prepared for a protracted war.

As for Japan, don't worry, even if they occupy the northeast, I'm sure to get it back, haven't they already signed an agreement, so there's no need to worry much.

Domestic development is still developed in accordance with the First Five-Year Plan, and at present it is indispensable for industry to be inclined to the military, and in this era when the law of the jungle has been magnified dozens of times, it is impossible to protect itself without a strong military. ”

Hearing this, Chen Fu couldn't say anything, the Manchu Qing Dynasty ceded and sold a large amount of territory in China, which did not satisfy the greedy Tsarist Russia at all, otherwise Tsarist Russia would not still be staring at Outer Mongolia and the Northeast.

As for how to solve the domestic development, it is up to Chen Fu and them to do so, after all, these are their responsibilities.

Japan is also very excited to see the Chinese Empire stepping into Tsarist Russia, fight, hurry up and fight, we are ready.

Katsura Taro was also excited, those people pressed too hard, just used this to divert the attention of the country, if the two countries declared war, it would be better for his future plans.

The war of words between the two countries continued, and at this time, Jebtsunbadan and others in Outer Mongolia directly and publicly announced the dissolution of Mongolia, Outer Mongolia is the territory of the empire, and it was because of the temptation and oppression of outsiders that they would break away from China, and now they know that they are wrong.

The government of the Chinese Empire said that it had never recognized the legitimacy of Mongolia, that Outer Mongolia was originally the territory of the empire, and that splitting was a major crime in the imperial constitution, but that it would commute its sentence accordingly for the sake of being oppressed rather than voluntary.

This announcement by the Outer Mongolian government directly made the so-called reason of Tsarist Russia accepting Outer Mongolia's request for assistance untenable, and the government surrendered, which means that Tsarist Russia has changed from aid to invasion.

The Tsar, who had already calmed down a little, was angry when he saw this, and when he first declared independence, he didn't think that he forced them to do so, did he just announce that I would withdraw my troops based on what you wrote? No way!

The more the Tsar thought about it, the more angry he became, and he sent a telegram asking the imperial uncle to re-establish the Outer Mongolians there, as long as there was a reason to stand still.

After receiving the Tsar's order, Grand Duke Nicholas soon found the principal of Outer Mongolia in Wulianghai and supported him as the leader of Outer Mongolia.

The Tsarist government said that Jebtsundan and others were threatened by the Chinese Empire to make such a move, and General Tao Ketao of Wulianghai would continue to lead the Outer Mongolians against the evil Chinese Empire.

Neither country has taken the actions of the two countries very seriously, and this kind of thing is normal for this kind of thing to occur in two countries that are at war.

Kyakhta's Chinese army also waited for the arrival of imperial reinforcements, and after they met, they immediately rushed towards the Wulianghai region.

On August 15, the Tsarist Empire officially declared war on the Chinese Empire, and immediately after that, the Chinese Empire also declared war on the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the two countries officially declared war.

The tsar decided to increase his army to the Far East by another 300,000 troops, and to increase his troops in the country, and the Bolsheviks also took the opportunity to mix many people into the army.

Huaxia also decided to increase the army by 300,000 again, and used this reason to expand the army again, and a large number of young people began to enlist again, and the military merit was too tempting, and now joining the army has become a way for ordinary people, especially peasants, to rise, and it is even more popular than the previous imperial examination system.

The declaration of war between the two countries directly disrupted the plans of Britain, France and other countries to prepare for mediation.

After Tsarist Russia declared war, it directly demanded that Britain and France provide support for all kinds of weapons and materials and stop economic activities in China on the grounds of the relationship between the Chinese Empire and Germany.

The Entente between Britain, France, and Russia all had a clause that no matter who was attacked by the Central Powers, the other country must provide support. It is understandable for Tsarist Russia to use the relationship between Germany and the Chinese Empire to ask for support, after all, Germany has already stationed troops at the doorstep.

After thinking about it, Britain and France agreed to give military and economic support to Tsarist Russia, and at the same time imposed an arms embargo on the Chinese Empire, etc., but the previously promised loans and the First Five-Year Plan project still had to be carried out, and Germany and the United States and other countries were watching, and Britain and France would not be unable to get along with interests.

Although the two countries did not announce these things, many people can see that most of those weapons and sophisticated machinery were not allowed to be exported to China by the government for various reasons, with the exception of things that were contracted for the imperial projects of China.

At the same time, the two countries also announced that for the sake of peace in Asia, they would increase their troops and strengthen the management of the Asian colonies, and they must not let those natives become too arrogant.

Wilhelm II was not surprised that China and Russia declared war, and now all he had to do was to try his best to help the good friend of the Chinese Empire to get rid of Tsarist Russia, and even if he didn't kill it, it would hurt Tsarist Russia a lot.

American businessmen slept smiling on the day China and Russia declared war, and they had already seen those Chinese dollars waving to them, and they couldn't help but drool.

The people of China and Russia expressed great support for the declaration of war, but the support of the Chinese people was very crazy, because this was the second time that China had declared war on the Western powers after 1900, and it was also the first time that the empire had declared war abroad, and it had to be supported.

A large number of troops from the two countries converged on Outer Mongolia, and a large-scale battle was about to break out, and both countries were ready to defeat each other.
