Chapter 738: Continue to increase the number of troops in the Ural Mountains
With regard to the withdrawal of Britain, France, and the United States from the war, the other six countries participating in the war, led by Germany, Russia, and Japan, all expressed strong condemnation of the actions of Britain, France, and the United States.
Didn't you say that you want to advance and retreat together? At the Nine-Nation Conference, Britain, France, and the United States said how righteous and awe-inspiring they were to fight the Chinese Empire to the end, but now it is only a long time before the Nine-Nation Conference, and the three countries of Britain, France, and the United States, without the consent of other countries, signed an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire, leaving the other six allies aside and making peace with the Chinese Empire.
In the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia angrily shouted at Russian Finance Minister Witte and War Minister Gorrosky: "Bastard! All bastards! This group of bitch-bitched British, French and Americans, they really signed an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire and declared war! Declare war! According to the agreement of the Nine-Nation Conference, if any country privately negotiates with the Chinese Empire to end the war, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against other countries! Britain, France, and the United States are doing this, which is tantamount to declaring war on our Russian Empire and 5 other countries! ”
Originally, another confidant of Nicholas II, Minister of the Navy Makarov, did not send someone to summon Makarov to the Winter Palace this time because the Russian Navy had already existed in name only.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte immediately persuaded: "Your Majesty the Tsar is angry, now is not the time to trouble Britain, France and the United States. Now it is Britain, France, and the United States that are making peace with the Chinese Empire, and it is believed that even Germany will not be entangled in what was originally agreed at this time. We are still holding on to several countries in this war, and the priority is to achieve victory on the front line of the Ural Mountains. In this way, we can take back the initiative in this war, otherwise everything will be meaningless. ”
Tsar Nicholas II was also aware of the actions of Britain, France, and the United States to withdraw from the war without permission. There was no way to pursue it at all, Nicholas II couldn't help but sit on the chair, and then said helplessly: "I didn't expect the British to really give in to the Chinese Empire in order to ensure India, not only Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar don't want it, but also gave all the islands in Oceania to the Chinese Empire, France and the United States are also soft, France also gave all the islands in Oceania to the Chinese Empire, which makes the Chinese Empire equivalent to owning the entire Oceania." The United States ceded Alaska to the Chinese Empire, and with the war reparations, the Chinese Empire made a lot of money from Britain, France, and the United States! ”
Then Nicholas II sighed and asked: "Without Britain, France and the United States, the strength of our coalition army on the front line of the Ural Mountains will be reduced a lot. ”
Gorrosky immediately said: "Your Majesty the Tsar is assured, although there are currently 780,000 elite units of the French Army on the front line of the Ural Mountains, as well as more than 80,000 wounded of the French Army. The 255,000 elite troops and 25,000 wounded of the British Army have begun to retreat to the west, but the other five European countries, including our Russian Empire, have increased their forces to the front line of the Ural Mountains. That is, the loss of more than 1 million elite troops of the British and French armies, and the 800,000 US Army units that did not reach our territory in Russia, our Russian Empire, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The total number of troops concentrated on the front line of the Ural Mountains will not be less than the number of troops agreed in the meeting of the Nine Nations. There will be a lot more. ”
Nicholas II listened and nodded, knowing that Russia was in accordance with the agreement of the Council of the Nine. 1.57 million army units have been gathered on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and more than 30,000 of the 220,000 Russian army wounded who were originally recuperating near the Ural Mountains are not too seriously injured and have returned to the front line, so that the Russian army's strength on the front line of the Ural Mountains can reach more than 1.6 million.
Tsar Nicholas II has mobilized 1.2 million newly expanded Russian army units, as well as 800,000 elite army troops from Moscow, Kiev, Warsaw and St. Petersburg, will also gather on the front line of the Ural Mountains. Both the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Turkish Empire will increase the number of land forces sent to the Ural Mountains, so that the strength of the coalition forces on the Ural Mountains will increase from the total strength agreed by the countries of the Nine-Nation Conference.
Nicholas II gritted his teeth and said to Gorrosky: "As soon as possible, transport the 2 million army units of our Russian Empire to the front line of the Ural Mountains, and the additional army units of Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire to the front line of the Ural Mountains will also be transferred to some more wagons to transport these troops to the front line as soon as possible, and the 3 million army units that our Russian Empire is preparing to expand will also be formed as soon as possible, no matter how many are formed, they will be sent to the front line of the Ural Mountains. Whether our Russian Empire can recover the lost land depends on the imminent outbreak of the Great War in the Ural Mountains, whether the combined forces of our countries can defeat the army of the Chinese Empire, if we lose this war, then it is impossible for our Russian Empire to continue to fight this war, and that will definitely be a disaster like destruction for our Russian Empire. ”
Gorrosky said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Tsar, rest assured, the minister understands the importance of the upcoming battle on the front line of the Ural Mountains to our Russian Empire, and the minister will definitely do his best to gather more army units of our Russian Empire on the front line of the Ural Mountains." ”
Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte also said: "The minister will also try his best to mobilize funds, weapons and food to ensure the supply of materials for the front-line troops, as well as the weapons, equipment and materials needed by the newly formed army units." ”
Tsar Nicholas II stood up again at this time and said loudly: "In this war, our Russian Empire will definitely not lose to the Chinese Empire again, and this Tsar must recover all the lands that have been taken away by the Chinese Empire!" A great war is about to break out on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and we, the Russian Empire, will defeat the army of the Chinese Empire at any cost. Only victory is allowed, and there must be no defeat! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
In the Imperial Palace in Berlin, Germany. German Kaiser Wilhelm II said in a deep voice to German Chancellor Hohenlohe, Chief of the Army General Staff Schlieffen and Admiral Tirpitz: "The navy of the Chinese Empire has just defeated the main force of the Japanese navy, and even the Japanese have robbed the American warships. Either sunk by the navy of the Chinese Empire, or became the trophy of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and the worse news is that Britain, France and the United States have signed an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire and officially withdrew from the war, and now the alliance of 9 countries is only our Germany, as well as Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Turkish Empire and Japan. ”
Prime Minister Hohenlohe hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, now that Britain, France, and the United States have withdrawn from the war, only our remaining six countries remain. It is more difficult to win this war, and should we in Germany also consider withdrawing from this war? ”
Without hesitation, Wilhelm II said categorically: "No! We, Germany, have already paid such a big price for this war, we must not just admit defeat to the Chinese Empire, and we still have a chance to turn the tables on the front line of the Ural Mountains on the Russian battlefield! If our coalition forces can defeat the Chinese Empire's army in Ufa City, they will be able to break through the defense line established by the Chinese Empire in the Ural Mountains and continue the offensive to the area east of the Ural Mountains! ”
Prime Minister Hohenlohe then advised: "Your Majesty, we, Germany and several other countries, have won victory in the Ural Mountains. Without the navy, it would be impossible for Germany to recover German New Guinea and occupy Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang, which Germany hoped to get. ”
Recovery of German New Guinea. The occupation of the Chinese Empire's provinces of Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang was the post-war benefit that Germany demanded at the Nine-Power Conference.
Kaiser Wilhelm II was well aware of the situation facing the remaining six countries, but it was Wilhelm II who urged Germany to join the war. Now that Germany's army and navy have suffered heavy losses in this war, Germany will follow the example of Britain, France, and the United States to withdraw from the war. Then Wilhelm II really had no shame in facing tens of millions of people in Germany.
Wilhelm II shouted hoarsely: "No! Our German Reich must not fail again this time! The Ural Mountains concentrated most of the main forces of the Imperial Chinese Army, as long as they could defeat these main forces of the Imperial Chinese Army. The navy of the Chinese Empire is invincible in the world, and it is impossible to continue to fight, and then we Germany will be able to sign an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire as the victor, without Britain, France and the United States, maybe we Germany can get more! ”
Prime Minister Hohenlohe opened his mouth and did not continue to persuade, he could only sigh secretly in his heart, he understood why Wilhelm II insisted so much, this war with the Chinese Empire is now related to Wilhelm II's face, ending the war at this time is equivalent to slapping Wilhelm II's face.
Wilhelm II turned to the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Schlieffen, and asked: "How many troops have our German Army gathered on the front line of the Ural Mountains?" ”
Schlieffen immediately said: "Your Majesty, our German Army originally concentrated 880,000 elite troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, of which more than 10,000 were German Army officers and soldiers who had returned from wounded on the front line, and 90,000 wounded soldiers had been transported back to Germany by train one after another. We also have more than 4,000 artillery pieces of various calibers, as well as more than 300 new tanks and more than 200 armored vehicles on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and 235 of our Luftwaffe fighters are also deployed at Russian airfields near the Ural Mountains. ”
"How many troops can we draw out in a short period of time to reinforce the front line of the Ural Mountains?"
"Your Majesty, our War Department has prepared another 500,000 elite troops, which are about to rush to the front line of the Ural Mountains on the Russian battlefield, and there are also 220 new tanks, 140 armored vehicles and more than 3,000 artillery pieces, which will also be transported to the front line of the Ural Mountains, these 500,000 elite troops of the Army are already the largest number of troops that we can draw out in a short period of time.
Wilhelm II gritted his teeth and said: "Although Britain and France have withdrawn from the war, but these two countries have suffered very large losses in the war, and it is impossible to pose any threat to our Germany in the short term, Russia, like our Germany, is still continuing this war, so it is impossible for any country around us Germany to wage war against our Germany in a short time, General Schlieffen, I ordered the army, and immediately transferred 300,000 from the border troops - no!" 400,000 elite troops, as well as more artillery, tanks and warplanes, were sent to the front line of the Russian Ural Mountains, and this time we Germany must win! ”
Under the dictatorship of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, Germany transferred 900,000 elite troops of the domestic army to prepare to rush to the front line of the Ural Mountains on the Russian battlefield, so that the German army will gather nearly 1.8 million troops on the front line, as well as tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers, more than 400 warplanes, more than 700 tanks and more than 500 armored vehicles.
Although the three younger brothers of the Allies in Germany were shocked by the withdrawal of Britain, France, and the United States from the war, their bosses still insisted, and it was impossible for the younger brothers to dump the boss and get out of this war.
The three younger brothers had no choice but to follow their boss to increase their troops to the front line of the Ural Mountains on the Russian battlefield, hoping to use the victory of a battle to completely turn the war with the Chinese Empire.
Italy had already gathered 275,000 army units on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and this time Italy transferred more than 200,000 troops from the country to prepare to strengthen the front line of the Ural Mountains.
Austria-Hungary also had 385,000 army troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and this time it will send another 350,000 army troops.
The Ottoman Empire, which also had 285,000 troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, will also send an additional 250,000 troops this time.
In addition, these three countries still have a lot of wounded soldiers in Russia, and some of the wounded are not serious, and they will also return to the battlefield, so that the three countries can gather more troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains. (To be continued.) )
