St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, was founded in 1703 and has been the heart of Russia since it became the capital of Russia in 1712. St. Petersburg, located on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea, at the mouth of the Neva River, is the second largest city in Russia, an important industrial center and a transportation hub. The city began in 1703 when Peter the Great founded the Peter and Paul Fortress on Rabbit Island at the mouth of the Neva River, which was later expanded into a city called St. Petersburg. In 1712 the Russian capital was moved here from Moscow.

Originally, this piece of land belonged to Sweden. However, in 1700, in order to seize access to the Baltic Sea in the north, the Russian Emperor Peter I fought a war with Sweden, a major military power at the time (Poland later declared war on Sweden as well), in alliance with Denmark and Saxony. In 1700 the Russian army was defeated in the Battle of Narva. After this battle, the Swedish king turned his attention to other enemies. At the same time, Peter rebuilt the Russian army. Sweden and Russia were at war again, and in 1707 the Swedish army was completely defeated at Poltava.

After that, Sweden had to cede the territory of the Gulf of Finland to Russia. The Russians founded St. Petersburg here and later moved the capital here. It has been the capital of Russia for 142 years from 1712 to the present day.

Although, the Chinese Empire and Russia have always been adversaries. From the unification of China by the Chinese Empire, when Russia sent troops into China to prevent the unification of China, it has not changed until now. Of course, this continuous years of hostility has also cost Russia a great price. Russia has already lost nearly 10 million square kilometers of land. There were also losses of millions of troops.

However, Tsar Alexander II of Russia was not a man to give in. His father, Nicholas I, can be said to have died because of the Chinese Empire, which is tantamount to killing his father's revenge. Over the years, Russia has been trying to regain its strength.

After the end of the war with the Chinese Empire, Alexander II imposed a reform of serfdom, stipulating that landlords could no longer keep serfs privately, and serfs won their freedom. And, you can redeem those lands. Albeit. The price of those lands is high. The serfs may not be able to buy these lands for the rest of their lives. However, Alexander II's reforms won the support of the serfs, who made up the majority of the Russian population.

In the midst of the reforms, some nobles and landlords. Against the reforms of Alexander II. There was also a conspiracy to overthrow the reign of Alexander II. But. Their rebellion was soon more repressed than it was. On this occasion, Alexander II showed an iron fist and decisiveness, and bloodily suppressed the rebellion of these nobles and landlords. According to incomplete statistics. The nobles and landowners killed in the suppression of the rebellion, more than a thousand people. At least 20,000 people, including their families, died in the rebellion. Alexander II also took this opportunity to intimidate the other nobles and landowners in the country and consolidate his rule.

In addition, on the diplomatic front, Russia actively moved closer to Britain. Originally, during the reign of Nicholas I, Russia still wanted to compete with Britain for world supremacy. Britain also used various methods to contain Russia. Now that the Russians were so weakened that they would have to rely on the British if they wanted to regain their strength. Alexander II also knew that if Russia wanted to succeed in taking revenge on the Chinese Empire, it was almost impossible to rely on its own strength alone, and it had to rely on other countries. And Britain is undoubtedly the most reliable ally.

After Russia joined the North Atlantic Military Alliance, the support from Britain and France enabled Russia to recover its strength rapidly. Of course, despite the fragility of Russia's economy, the lives of the people are still difficult. However, Russia's military strength has increased considerably. The standing army of 1.5 million men was already manned with a rifle copied from Britain, France, or Russia. In the infantry companies were also armed with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the divisional units already had their own artillery units. Of course, only a dozen cannons. However, this is already much better than before. Many Russian generals even believed that if the Russian army had such equipment when fighting against the Chinese Empire, then the situation of the war would very likely be rewritten. They stubbornly believe that the main reason why Russia lost in the last war was that it lagged behind the Chinese Empire in terms of weapons and equipment. Without this factor, Russia would not have failed.

The generals of the Russian Army are all trying their best to promote the process of the war, and they want to start a war against the Chinese Empire as soon as possible.

To this end, Russia deployed 1.5 million of its 1.5 million standing armies in the western Siberian plains and in the steppes of northwestern Central Asia. In order to be able to inflict a heavy blow on the army of the Chinese Empire at the beginning of the war and lay the foundation for victory.

As the situation in the world becomes more and more tense, the Russians seem to smell the smoke of gunpowder. Tsar Alexander II repeatedly summoned the generals of the military and demanded that the army be ready for war. In addition, the government should be ready to cooperate with the army to complete the mobilization once the war begins. Tsar Alexander II was well aware of the strength of the Chinese Empire, and if he wanted to defeat the Chinese Empire, Russia would probably have to mobilize more troops.

Russia still has a population of 60 million, which is not comparable to the Chinese Empire, but it is already the most populous country in the Western world. In the event of war, Russia could have increased the size of its army to three million men, or even more. Of course, Russia has enough population, but not enough weapons. If three million troops are to be mobilized, a large part of the weapons of the newly formed troops will depend on the support of allies. With Russia's weak industrial strength, it is not so easy to arm the troops.

Under the leadership of the Russian government, the anti-China movement in Russia has also surged, and almost every day anti-Chinese elements protest outside the Imperial Chinese Legation in Russia, shouting the slogan "Chinese get out of Russia" and insulting the staff in the test tube, which has seriously endangered the normal operation of the embassy. If it weren't for the restraint of the Russian police, these thugs would have stormed the embassy.

Of course, the Russians don't want to see that happen. Therefore, a team of police officers was specially organized to protect the security of the Chinese Embassy in Russia. Of course, despite the anti-Chinese sentiment of the Russians, these police officers are becoming more and more inadequate.

Vladimir, a middle-aged man in his forties, was originally a farmer on the plains of Western Siberia. However, after the defeat of the Russians by the Chinese* army, his farm became the territory of the Chinese Empire. He had to flee west with his family. During the flight, his two daughters starved to death because of lack of food. And his wife, who also had no money for treatment because she was sick, died soon after.

Vladimir attributed this to the Chinese Empire, and if it weren't for the Chinese Empire, their family's life would be very happy. But now, he is the only one left in the family.

By chance, Vladimir met a Chinese on the streets of St. Petersburg. Suddenly, the anger in his heart was ignited. He was strong and beat the Chinese. Although, the police who arrived later stopped him and threw him into prison.

However, Vladimir found that in prison he was treated preferentially. Those devil-like prison guards did not embarrass him, but gave him a lot of care because of his feats. When he was released from prison, he was welcomed by many Russians, like a triumphant hero.

Since then, Vladimir did not go to work again, but gathered a group of people and began to specifically find trouble with the Chinese, going to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in Russia to protest and cause trouble. And their actions were not stopped by the Russian government, but were only reprimanded without itching or pain. Even, some Russian officials, generals and civilians will provide them with logistical support. Frankimir's team is also constantly expanding. He recruited a large number of homeless people into his ranks, and now, the total number has reached two hundred.

Vladimir is the leader of this group of people, and although this kind of behavior is somewhat unacceptable, it has made his life very nourishing. Vladimir knew that there were high-class people supporting him. This made Frankimir even more unscrupulous.

"Brothers, compatriots, the Chinese Empire is Russia's mortal enemy, and they are a greater threat to us than the Ottoman Turkish Empire! As brave Russians, we want to exterminate all Chinese, only then will we be able to live a good life! Frankimir shouted to his men.

"Kill the Chinese, kill them all!" The Russians, shouting frantically.

"I got the news that it is inside the Chinese embassy that they are plotting to spy on our military secrets, and we need to stop their plot and defend great Russia!" Vladimir said. He learned the news by accident. Vladimir believes that if he can stop the Chinese plot, then he will become a real hero. When the time comes, his life will be changed.

Subsequently, Vladimir led his men to the Imperial Chinese Embassy in Russia. Because it's still six o'clock in the morning, and the policemen haven't gone to work yet. Therefore, the actions of Vladimir and others were not hindered in any way. They came to the outside of the Imperial Chinese Embassy in Russia, and then launched an assault on the embassy.
