The fall of Volgograd marked the complete collapse of the Russian army's defense line on the Volga River. The entire line of defense, because of this loophole, seems to be nothing. The 7th Army, the 10th Army, and later the 6th Army of the Imperial Army, were able to cross the Volga from Volgograd and ascend to the west bank of the Volga.

Then hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army and the Ottoman Imperial Turkish Army, went north along the Volga. Along the way, the Russian army simply could not resist. The Russian defense line immediately faced the collapse of the entire front.

The Russian army has deployed only two million troops on the entire Volga defense line. In the Battle of Volgograd, more than 400,000 Russian troops were annihilated. The subsequent losses are constantly increasing. Under the fierce attack of the Imperial Army, the Russian army was no longer able to resist. Even, even a little longer delay has become delusional.

St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, although, now the Spring Festival has arrived. The beautiful streets of St. Petersburg are full of life with colorful flowers. However, the situation in St. Petersburg is now very tense. Rumors were rife of a great defeat at the front, which made the entire city fearful of the Russians.

The Russian government has been blocking information, but paper can't keep the fire, and it is impossible to keep it completely secret. There are still a lot of sporadic news leaked out, leading to rumors in the city.

In addition, because of the loss of large areas of territory, Russia's supply of materials has been in trouble, and it has to resort to restricting supply. So, this exacerbates people's bad speculation even more. Some people with thin assets are already planning to take advantage of the fact that St. Petersburg has not yet fallen. Immediately emigrated. Although, the whole world is in flames. But now it seems that the Asian-European military alliance has won. Travel to the Kingdom of Prussia. Seems like a pretty good choice.

So much so that the rich people in Russia fled one after another. A large number of people traveled to the Kingdom of Prussia by train or ship. In order to retain the wealth of the country, Tsar Alexander II had to issue an order forbidding the flight of nationals from Russia at this time. And in this way, it will undoubtedly intensify people's flight. In their opinion, the fact that the tsar actually gave such an order means that Russia is really about to be finished, and flee Russia as soon as possible. Travel to the Kingdom of Prussia, that's all that matters.

Inside the Winter Palace, Alexander II was angry at the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Duke Gorchakov, and the chief of the General Staff, Field Marshal Wittgenstein.

"Damn! Didn't you say that the Volga defense line could withstand the Chinese? How did it take so little time for the defense line to be breached? Also lost so many troops. Now that the Chinese are marching in, how can we resist them? ”

Tsar Alexander II was like an angry lion, and according to the agreement between Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia would send troops to Russia as much as possible to occupy large areas of Russian territory. And then. These territories will be redeemed by Russia for 200 million gold marks, that is, 100 million pounds sterling, 400 million Chinese dollars. These territories are ultimately in the hands of Russia.

But. If the Chinese had occupied these territories first, and Russia wanted to retake them from China, it would have been impossible. This also means: These territories will be lost permanently. Russia, which had already suffered heavy losses in this war, will be further weakened. Future. If Russia wants to re-emerge, it will be even more difficult.

"陛xià. The Turks would cooperate with the Chinese attack, which was indeed unexpected by them. If it weren't for the Turks attacking from behind, Ivan. Admiral Zarbakansky was able to hold out much longer. Duke Gorchakov argued.

Who would have thought that when the Ottoman Imperial Army fell into Ukraine, a large number of troops would be deployed to cooperate with the Chinese Army and launch a direct attack on Volgograd? Even the General Staff of the Russian army did not make a corresponding plan at all, so that when the Russian army was attacked suddenly, it was completely unprepared and was defeated. In this battle, the Russian army lost completely.

"Humph! It's all excuses, all excuses that you make for your incompetence. Alexander II scolded.

Duke Gorchakov and Marshal Wittgenstein did not say a word. In fact, they are also very aggrieved. If Russia's strength was stronger than that of the Chinese Empire, and the combat power of the Russian* army was above that of the Chinese Empire, they would definitely not have fallen to the current level. This qiē, in the final analysis, is because Russia is much worse than the Chinese Empire.

Of course, Tsar Alexander II would never admit this. He would never have thought that Russia's national power was declining under his rule.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry, we should think of a way, how to stabilize the current situation!" Zhukovsky said. Now, Russia has undoubtedly reached the most critical moment. Although the Kingdom of Prussia signed a secret agreement with Russia, it would undoubtedly take time for the Russian army to move from other lines of defense to the Eastern Front. Originally, they thought that the Volga defense line could hold out until the Kingdom of Prussia completed its deployment. But who would have thought that the Volga defense line would collapse after holding out for only such a little time?

"Mikhail. Marshal Vorontsov is gathering his troops, preparing to block the Chinese* army, buying us as much time as possible. However, the current situation is not optimistic. The Chinese are marching in for a long time, and our army has lost the courage to continue fighting. This will be a disaster for us! Marshal Wittgenstein said.

With a large number of troops lost and morale suffered, it was undoubtedly difficult to continue to resist the attack of the Chinese* army. At least, with the strength of the Russian army, it is almost impossible to accomplish such a task.

"Your Majesty, it now seems that we have to inform the Kingdom of Prussia and let them start their plans in advance. Otherwise, the Chinese and Turks will only occupy more of our territory. Said the Foreign Minister, Count Niechel Rodie.

"Let the Prussians start in advance? Are they ready? "Alexander II was somewhat worried.

"Your Majesty, there is no other way but to turn to them for help." Zhukovsky also said.

"Well, in my name, send a telegram to King Wilhelm I!" Alexander II said with a sigh. There is no doubt that in doing so, he represented Russia's prayer to the Kingdom of Prussia, and to his uncle, as a nephew.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Count Niechel Rodie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Kingdom of Prussia was originally one of the great powers of Central Europe. After Wilhelm I became king of the Kingdom of Prussia, the national power of Prussia increased greatly.

After successive victories in the Danish and Austrian empires, the Kingdom of Prussia became the leading state among the states. With the beginning of the world war, the Kingdom of Prussia was on the side of the victors. Although at the beginning of the war, the Kingdom of Prussia was in a terrible situation, surrounded by strong enemies. Fortunately, however, they were very lucky, and the Kingdom of Prussia survived that time. Now, the time had come for the Kingdom of Prussia to reap the victory.

Within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the great armies of the Kingdom of Prussia had already besieged Vienna. Joseph I had already fled to Budapest. The fall of Vienna is just around the corner. Once the Austro-Hungarian Empire was destroyed and the Austrian Empire was occupied, a unified Greater German Empire would take shape.

To the west, with the Chinese Army and the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium fighting back, the French were already in a rather bad situation. The Kingdom of Prussia has deployed heavy troops on the border, and as soon as France shows its weakness, they will jump out like a vicious wolf and bite off a piece of fat on the French.

As for the east, the Kingdom of Prussia gained considerable advantage in the Russo-Prussian Treaty, and according to the agreement between the two countries, eastern Poland, the Baltic coast, and western Ukraine would become the territory of the Kingdom of Prussia, or the united German Empire. In this way, the German Empire will become a huge empire in the future, one of the most powerful countries in the world.

In the Imperial Palace of Berlin and Potsdam, the office of King Wilhelm I was already crowded with the powerful ministers of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Your Majesty, the Russians have just suffered a crushing defeat in Volgograd, not only have they lost more than 400,000 troops, but the entire line of defense has been broken by the Chinese. Now that the Chinese Army and the Imperial Ottoman Turkish Army are marching forward, the collapse of the Russian defense line has become inevitable. With the strength of the Russians, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to resist the attack of the Chinese army. Therefore, the Russian side hopes that we will be able to launch a plan in advance, enter the territory of Russia, and occupy those territories. If it's late, those territories will all belong to the Chinese and Turks! "Albrech, Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. Feng. Ron said.

"Father, we should act immediately, and we can't watch those territories being occupied by the Chinese. The Russians are so bad, my cousin, is at the point of desperation. According to our agreement with Russia, we should do it immediately. I really doubt how long the Russian army will be able to hold out with the strength of the Russian army. They have an army of millions, but they are really nothing more than an army of peasants, and they are vulnerable. "Frederick. Crown Prince William immediately jumped out. (To be continued......)
