Chapter 584: The whimsy of the Divine Stick

The battle for the city of Omsk ended abruptly in a shocking way, which made the city of Omsk, which suffered heavy casualties in Russia, a mourning, and the city of Omsk was lost, but all of a sudden, there were millions of reinforcements outside the city, which made the Russians a little unacceptable.

Counting the troops of the two armies of the Russian 12th Army in the city of Omsk, the Russians concentrated a total of 1.15 million troops in the city of Omsk, and the result was only 2 or 30,000 people who could escape in the end, which refers to the number of people who could finally escape to the Russian-controlled towns, in addition to the Russian dead and captured, there are also some people who have escaped and have disappeared on the western Siberian plain, hunger is the biggest enemy of the Russian officers and soldiers who escaped, and many Russian officers and soldiers who escaped were starved and had no strength, Finally fell on the inhospitable western plains of Siberia.

This battle of Omsk is equivalent to the loss of more than 1.1 million Russians, and no one can stand it, even Russia, which has always been known for its strong troops, can not afford it.

Tsar Nicholas II knew that the loss in the Battle of Omsk was so great, and the whole person felt bad, and couldn't help but regret that after the border conflict between the Chinese Empire and Russia, his attitude was too tough, so that the Chinese Empire was provoked, and launched a surprise attack on Russia in a way similar to an undeclared war, so that Russia has not only lost 2.2 million land forces in less than 10 days since the start of the war, but also the army of the Chinese Empire has pounced on the Russian Ural Mountains, If the Russian Ural Mountains are lost, then it will be a catastrophe for Russia!

Tsar Nicholas II, who was full of frustration, was persuaded by the three important Russian ministers of the Russian Exchequer, Witte, the Minister of the Navy, Makarov, and the Minister of War, Gorrosky, and the gloomy clouds on his face did not dissipate, although the Minister of War Gorrosky vowed that the Russian Army must be on the front line of the Ural Mountains to block the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army to Russia and Europe. Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte and Minister of the Navy Makarov also said that they would ask Britain and France for help, and that Britain and France would not ignore Russia, but Tsar Nicholas II did not mention it in his heart.

In just how long the war began, the Russian Army had lost a staggering 2.2 million troops, even though the Russian Army still had nearly 3 million troops left. But Tsar Nicholas II was already very disappointed in the combat effectiveness of the Russian Army, or he was desperate for the combat effectiveness shown by the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire. Tsar Nicholas II had almost the slightest bit of confidence!

said that they were looking for help from Britain and France, but could Britain and France really send troops to help Russia? Tsar Nicholas II was even less confident in this, Britain and France saw the face of their allies of the Entente and gave Russia a large amount of free aid, but if Britain and France were allowed to go into battle shirtless, they would go head-to-head with the armies of the Chinese Empire. Britain and France will not be so happy, after all, Britain and France still have a lot of scruples, the strength of the Chinese Empire is one thing, and the allies who have been eyeing it next to it are also one aspect.

After the Minister of the Exchequer Witte, the Minister of the Navy Makarov, and the Minister of War Gorrosky left the palace, Tsar Nicholas II, who was still gloomy, returned to his bedroom. ”

Tsar Nicholas II looked at his wife and sighed and said, "Just after the battle between the city of Omsk and the Chinese Imperial Army. Our Russian Imperial Army lost as many as 1,100,000 troops at once, and the city of Omsk was also occupied by the Chinese Empire. Now the army of the Chinese Empire can directly attack the Ural Mountains of our Russian Empire. ”

Queen Alexandra couldn't help but show a panicked look on her face when she heard this, and her voice suddenly raised and shouted, "Oh! My God! Doesn't that mean that the armies of the Chinese Empire are already on the verge of reaching the European regions of our Russian Empire? ”

Tsar Nicholas II smiled bitterly and said: "This is true, now I am worried about the defense line of our Russian Empire in the Ural Mountains. Can we stop the footsteps of the Chinese Imperial Army, if not, maybe there will be an unusually serious catastrophe in our Russian Empire. ”

Empress Alexandra frowned and said, "Didn't Rasputin say that if a war breaks out between our Russian Empire and the Chinese Empire, we will be protected by the gods?" Why is the situation so bad now? ”

Listened to the words of Queen Alexandra. Tsar Nicholas II couldn't help frowning, you must know that the reason why he was able to have such a tough attitude after the border conflict between the Chinese Empire and Russia had a lot to do with Rasputin, it was Rasputin who said that if the war broke out, Russia would be protected by the gods, and the final victory would definitely belong to the great Russian Empire, which made him more firm in his attitude towards the Chinese Empire and ready to accumulate strength to take revenge.

But how is the current situation different from what Rasputin said at the beginning, the war broke out, but Russia lost a large amount of land in a short period of time, and it does not look like a posture protected by gods.

Tsar Nicholas II ordered the servants in the palace: "Go and bring Rasputin to Tsar Ben, and say that Tsar Ben and Empress have urgent business to see him." ”

Rasputin, who had been living in the Imperial Palace in St. Petersburg, also had an anxious look on his face, he already knew the latest battle reports from the front, and knew that the Russian army had suffered very heavy losses in the battle of Omsk, and that more than one million troops had been wiped out by the army of the Chinese Empire, and that the whole situation of the current war had become more and more unfavorable to Russia.

Whether Russia can win this war with the Chinese Empire, Rasputin actually doesn't care at all, he is just a swaggering and deceitful man, as long as Russia does not perish, he can continue to fool in front of Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra, and gain wealth and power.

But he shouldn't have used the strength of wine to fool Nicholas II that day, so that Nicholas II believed that Russia would be protected by the gods, and his attitude towards the Chinese Empire became extremely tough. The result eventually led to the Chinese Empire declaring war on Russia.

Now that the war has broken out, but Russia has become like this, Rasputin is worried that Tsar Nicholas II will settle accounts with him, and he will not be trusted by Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra, if Tsar Nicholas II is angry, he will take his own life. But it's sad.

No, we must not let things develop towards the worst outcome, I must do everything possible to get through this crisis, Rasputin squinted his little eyes and began to think about how he should face the current situation, at this time, a servant in the palace came to tell him that Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra had urgent matter to summon him, and Rasputin could guess what Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra were looking for him.

Rasputin pinched a few locks of his beard with his right hand. By this time, the anxious look on Rasputin's face had disappeared without a trace, and there was even a look of excitement on his face.

Rasputin thought of a solution that would not only help him get out of this crisis, but even help Russia out of the difficult situation it is in, and he would become a figure for the ages.

Rasputin sorted out his appearance, and came to the dormitory where Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra were located, "The minister has seen His Majesty and the Empress!" ”

Tsar Nicholas II looked at Rasputin, who was saluting him and his wife, and asked: "Rasputin, didn't you say that the Russian Empire would be protected by the gods?" But now the armies of the Chinese Empire have to fight through the Ural Mountains. Enter the European region of our Russian Empire! Why haven't the gods yet sheltered our Russian Empire? ”

Queen Alexandra also said, "Rasputin, ask the gods quickly. What the hell is going on? ”

Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra did not even think that Rasputin was fooling them, and they were still worried about the protection of the gods.

With a hint of a smile on his face, Rasputin said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty and Empress don't need to be frightened, nothing in the world is smooth sailing, these twists and turns must be experienced before the victory of our Russian Empire, and they are a small test of the gods for our Russian Empire." When our Russian Empire has passed this little test, the protection of the gods will come soon. ”

Tsar Nicholas II immediately asked: "Then when will the test of the gods end?" The Chinese Empire is almost past the Ural Mountains! If the protection of the gods does not come again, our Russian Empire is in danger! ”

Rasputin smiled and said, "The gods have given the ministers a hint, the test is over, and the blessings of the gods have come." Soon the unfavorable situation of our Russian Empire will be completely reversed, Your Majesty and Empress rest assured! At the same time, the gods instructed the minister to go to Germany to meet the German Emperor Wilhelm II, and the minister's trip to Germany would change the war. ”

Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Rasputin's words, they still trusted Rasputin very much, which was determined by Rasputin's long-term performance, after Rasputin entered the palace, one magical thing after another happened to Rasputin, including Rasputin's cure of the crown prince's hemophilia, which made them firm in their trust in Rasputin.

It turned out that it was all a test of the gods on the Russian Empire, but what kind of situation will the protection of the gods show? Tsar Nicholas II asked suspiciously: "Rasputin, what kind of protection will the gods give to the Russian Empire?" And what are you doing in Germany? ”

Rasputin said in a deep voice: "The gods will protect our Russian Empire, and there are many more allies who are fighting side by side!" In addition, the gods instructed me to go to Germany to persuade the German Emperor Wilhelm II to let Germany fight side by side with our Russian Empire and destroy the evil Chinese Empire. ”

"What? Let Germany fight side by side with the Russian Empire? My God! It's a joke, isn't it? Tsar Nicholas II shouted in surprise.

"No, it's not a joke! This is the instruction of the gods! Rasputin said with a serious face.

It turned out that Rasputin thought about it for a long time, and did not come up with any way to tide over the difficulties in front of him, and if he wanted to tide over the difficulties by himself, he must let Russia turn the tide of the war, but the military strength of the Chinese Empire was there, although Russia was known as the European steamroller, but the gap in military strength between the two sides was still obvious, which can be seen from the fact that soon after the war between the two sides, Russia suffered extremely heavy losses, and Russia alone had no hope of turning defeat into victory.

In this way, they can only go to foreign aid, but the two countries that are most likely to become foreign aid, Britain and France, because of the Central Powers, did not dare to put their forces into the war with the Chinese Empire, but only gave Russia some free aid, so Rasputin wanted to rely on his own strength to go to Germany to fool the German Emperor Wilhelm II, so that Germany sent troops to aid Russia, so that the entire Central Powers may be involved, and then the two countries of Britain and France will not have so many scruples, and it may become the situation of the eight-nation alliance a few years ago.

As long as the two countries of the Entente, Britain and France, as well as several countries of the Central Powers, all started a war against the Chinese Empire, then no matter how strong the military strength of the Chinese Empire was, it was impossible to win this war, and the current situation was different a few years ago, when the Chinese Empire suddenly took out 7 dreadnought battleships that shocked the world in a naval battle, and defeated the combined naval fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance at once, which finally made the Eight-Nation Alliance admit defeat.

Now all countries already have dreadnought battleships, and some countries even have super dreadnought battleships, counting only the British dreadnought battleships, they have already surpassed the Chinese Empire, so that the Entente and the Central Powers are united, and there is no reason to lose to the Chinese Empire again.

Tsar Nicholas II said with a puzzled expression: "Rasputin, several countries of the Central Powers are full of contradictions with our Russian Empire, how could Germany, as the leader of the Central Powers, agree to help our Russian Empire resist the evil Chinese Empire?" ”

Although Rasputin racked his brains to think of this idea, to be honest, he was not at all sure that he could convince the German Emperor Wilhelm II, but he still had this thought, if he did not say that Germany would join the war, then he would not have returned to Russia, and the wealth he had obtained in the palace over the years was enough for him to live the rest of his life in style.

Rasputin said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, since it is the instruction of the gods, then Germany will definitely agree." (To be continued......)
